Hi!
I'm about to lose my mind. Nothing seems to work at the moment. I've just built my own HTPC with the specs:
* Motherboard: Gigabyte 880gma-ud2h
* Optical Drive: LG CH10 Blu-Ray
* PSU: Fractal Design Tesla 550W, 80+
* HDD: Western Digital AV-GP 1.5TB
* RAM: Kingston DIMM DDR3 4GB 1333MHZ CL9
* CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 255 3.1GHZ 2MB
* Computer Case: Antec HTPC Fusion Remote Black
* Media Center Program: XBMC
On this system I've installed Ubuntu desktop 10.10 x64 and I've already posted a question regarding the optical drive here. The chassi has a built in IR-receiver and LCD-display. I've tried following all tutorials I've could possibly find on the internet but nothing seems to work. The remote's basic functions work but not all that I would like to have programmed and the LCD-display shows the current time. But I can't get the LCD to show what is currently playing and all that and as I said, the remote doesn't fully function either.
When I try following the tutorials I do what I'm told and it always work in the beginning but then I'm supposed to edit a file which don't exist on my system and I have no idea why because I've installed both LIRC and LCDproc. If someone could help me with tailor made tutorial it would be perfect!
Oh and another question. When I try booting ubuntu I always get an error but I can get into ubuntu by typing "exit" after a (initramfs) message appears. And all the solutions are stating that I should change a value in /boot/grub/menu.list but as I said earlier, that file doesn't exist on my system and I'm starting to lose my mind!
I appreciate all replies!
Thank you!
