I already had Gentoo set up on another partition on the computer, so I started from there and manually installed the items in sagesetup.sh. I've been using Gentoo for about a year so I have some background in getting it up and running and it was fairly smooth. http://www.gentoo.org and http://www.gentoo-wiki.com are invaluable resources. So far here's where I'm at:

Could you please give the commands on how to uinstall jre and install . I ran into the same problem.

thanks

I had originally installed jre-1_5_0_6-linux-amd64.bin from Java's web site using emerge. To uninstall it I ran:

Code:

emerge --unmerge sun-jre-bin

Install the 32-bit emulation libraries. I'm not sure exactly which are needed but this what I have:

Code:

emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs emul-linux-x86-compat emul-linux-x86-xlibs emul-linux-x86-soundlibs

Install the x86 JRE version I using the commands from sagesetup.sh:

Code:

wget http://download.sagetv.com/linuxweb/jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin
mv jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin /usr/portage/distfiles/
echo Installing Java
emerge sun-jre-bin
env-update && source /etc/profile

Finally, I had to fix the environment variables to point to the new JRE:

Code:

nano /etc/env.d/20java
env-update && source /etc/profile

It seems your video card doesn't have hardware overlay with colorkey support which is required for this version. We'll be adding other modes in future versions.

Could you confirm problems only happen when video is playing back?

hey demo,
yes i can confirm that.
any idea on a timeframe to address this issue?

We still don't have a good solution for this problem.

Is there anything that would explain why the new 5 version is REALLY laggy on my PC, whereas the 4 version was running just fine?

Screen freezes every second or 2, sometimes I can't even get video and need a reboot.

I'm on a Athlon XP 2100 with an FX5200 card.

You could try to connect over ssh and run the top command to see cpu usage when there is video playback.

Hi

Since you released your new instructions on how to pull in the pieces to build a SageTV beta to run on SuSE I have made much more progress. Late Wednesday afternoon I got all the pieces in (finding the jre 1.5 was a bit of a problem). A few minutes ago I finished the various "make install" commands and I beleive I have everything in the correct directorys.

Following the instructions I ran the /opt/sagetv/server script ./keygen.sh and that appeared to run as it should.

I then did the /opt/sagetv/server/startsage and got 3 lines of output:

changing to sagetv directory /opt/sagetv/server
starting server mode
/opt/sagetv/server Unrecognized VM option 'MaxGCPauseMillis=25'
could not create java virtual machine

The system then sat there and when I hit return I got a command prompt.

Please advise how I straighten this out.

Thank you

Harry Lipkind

Please run java -version and send the output.

PLEASE HELP

I'm having the same problem, did you find a fix for it?

harryl46 · #53 06-11-2006, 12:06 PM

Hi _demo_

I ran java -version and it came back with "1.4.2_11-bo6" which is not what I expected.

I have "jre.1_5_0_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin". I though I had installed this and obviously I haven't. Is this the correct file? If it is, please tell me how to handle it. If it isn't, please advise as to which is the correct file and if it needs to be parked some place, pleae tell me where.

Thank you

Harry

That's the right version, this should be installed so it is in your path.

The client download link seems to be broken.

I have the server running and I am anxious to run the client.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for your quick replies!
