Hardware

• MacMini 2010 - Model 4,1
  • Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.66GHz
  • 8GB RAM
  • S/PDIF audio
• Teufel Concept E 300 "5.1-Set"
• DVB-S Device: TT-Connect S2 3650CI
• Remote: WII Mote Plus
• External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
• iPad2
• iPhone 3GS
• Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

I used Snapshot LMCE-1004-20120701130826149.iso

Let's go

• Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
• in grub select "Install"
• TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
• hit ENTER to run installer
• Wait till it completely bootet…
• Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

Update grub to enable reboot and graphics

After install boot again from DVD

• Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
• in grub select "Install"
• TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
• HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

 mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
 mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
 mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
 mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
 chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

 nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

• nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
• reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

 update-grub
 reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

auto install NVIDIA 320M

Does work now! THX L3top

Basic Steps to make it work automatically:

Check NVIDIA Card

 sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-260 | grep -i Installed
 sudo lspci -nn | grep VGA
 Update pciid

 sudo update-pciids
 lspci -nn | grep VGA

Get pciid

 lspci -nn | grep -vi "non-vga" | grep "VGA" | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//' 

add pciid in nvidia-install.sh. Add it to both lines DRIVER_260_SUPPORTED and VDPAU_REV_C_SUPPORTED

 sudo nano -w /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
 sudo /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run --uninstall
 sudo reboot

Kernel update may harm your dvb driver!!!!

If this happend make sure you cleaned your dvb drivers:

 sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/*

S2API

 mkdir 3650
 cd 3650
 hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
 cd s2-liplianin
 make
 make install

ISSUE

FIX

 change CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m to CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=y

in

 ./3650/s2-liplianin/v4l/.config

Kernel versions earlier than „2.6.32-41-generic“ i used to install the dvb device like described here

Download and copy ngene to /lib/firmware (no idea if it is really needed)

 wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_15.fw
 cp ngene_15.fw /lib/firmware/
 wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_18.fw
 sudo cp ngene_18.fw /lib/firmware

Things to come...

• AirPlay does not work. Bugreport
• Control my Samsung Plasma TV. 2 ways possible. Either use HDMI or Network...
• Find a way to change the volume. Currently using S/PDIF, i guess no chance to change volume within LinuxMCE
