Also, if I'm not running RAID, would it be OK if I partitioned off 20GB of my 2TB media drive just to run the OS? Would that be slower/cause any problems?

i went browsing to the location in webadmin and xbmc is not there.......im at a loss

EDIT: im completely stuck here, i cant even figure out where xbmc installed too
i found an occurance of an xbmc root file in "usr/bin", but i can figure out anyhing to do wiht it
when i type "sudo /usr/bin/xbmc start" i get 2 errors:
Error: unable to open display
FEH.py: cannot connect to x server
Quote:sudo apt-get purge nvidia*to make sure it's not trying to use the wrong driver. Some people helped me out with this issue in another forum too.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo update-alternatives --remove gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf

I12crash Wrote:Dave I just want to say thanks for all the info you have put out so far. I'm far from computer illiterate, but linux is new to me. I've watched a lot of videos, and I really think I'll like it once I learn my way around it. I'm currently building a system similar to yours, but using SSD for system drive and found a mini ITX case that holds up to 6 drives. I've got everything except the four 2TB drives I plan to buy in the next few weeks. I can't wait to dive in and get this working. Thanks again for all your help.

Yea my advice to anyone after trying both Windows installs and Linux, is that if you want a system that actually does stuff automatically, you've got to go Linux. I think I'm in a similar boat experience wise, I'm no novice but I had almost no Linux exposure going into this project. The amount of help out there for Linux is absolutely amazing though. Anything I ran in to was easily Googled for a solution! I see people out there that put some really slick looking Windows boxes together but then to hear that they have to close window A and open window B to watch a DVD (or anything that makes the system look like a computer and not a device) just makes me cringe. It just never felt seamless using Windows, while with Linux it really does.
Good luck with your project and let m know if any questions come up that I might be able to help with. Also, POST PICS! I'd love to see the finished product!
torrentflux-b4rt 1.0-beta2 - Setup
Database - Create Tables
The installation will now attempt to create the database tables required for running torrentflux-b4rt.
Error: Cannot connect to database.
bipolar Wrote:also, is there a way to set up a site that will let me access torrentflux/webmin from anywhere, not only on my network? it would be nice to be able to check in on things while im on vacation or whatever.
I12crash Wrote:OK, having trouble. This has been quite a learning experience, but quite a frustration at the same time
OK so during torrentflux setup I get an error on the tables portion. Here is what is says.

Just a few things I am wondering if you know how to add or recommend. (I mainly use windows for my personal xbmc, but I really like your linux setup).
nickvda Wrote:Any way to put in a simple Dvd/blu ray ripper so that basically you put it in, get a popup saying Play or Rip, pick language/subs/etc and it automatically rips to the movie folder?
nickvda Wrote:Also do you know of a good media organizer/scraper that can be used in conjunction with your setup to clean and download movie nfos and pictures for linux. On my windows machine I use eventghost with therenamer and Ember Media (work pretty well), not sure if there is something similar to that for linux.
nickvda Wrote:The idea would be also to make it completely easy to use and where I would require to do almost 0 interventions, kind of like you
nickvda Wrote:Surfing google I got brought back to these forums and found a script by linuxluemmel for xbmc, that seems to do what we want to do.

Gonna try it out on windows, and see how it works for our goal. Please do the same for linux and let us know how it works!
davemex Wrote:Great find! Unfortunately this linux HTPC doesn't have a CD drive. This looks so tempting I might just have to put a linux partition on my older test system and give it a try! I'll let you know how it works!
