Linuxmce Hacks and Tips

I know many cases when people claim that Nokia770 work unstable as LinuxMCE Orbiter. Here is you can find a few simple suggestions to tune your Nokia770 to make it more reliable as LinuxMCE Orbiter.

As you may know to have possibility to use the modern LinuxMCE user interface with transparency and 3D effects the right video card should be chosen. As variant I can recommend nVidia 6XXX which works excellent from the box. However, there is a way to use some more modern models such nVidia 7600. Just follow by recommendations from that post on the LinuxMCE forum.

LinuxMCE Core (hybrid or dedicated) needs two network interfaces – one for external connection and another one – for internal. If by some reason you have only one during installation the system creates a virtual internal interface – eth0:0. To modify the network configuration when you decided to add a second Ethernet card you have to make simple changes in the pluto_main database. To see a current network configuration run following select command in the mysql shell:

SELECT IK_DeviceData FROM Device_DeviceData WHERE FK_DeviceData=32;

The result should be similar to this:

eth0,dhcp|eth0:0,192.168.80.1,255.255.255.0

Just replace eth0:0 to eth1

UPDATE Device_DeviceData SET IK_DeviceData="eth0,dhcp|eth1,192.168.80.1,255.255.255.0" WHERE FK_DeviceData=32;

and reboot your core. After that will should see two interfaces.
