Re: [RDD] Install on a lenovo 300S?

[Wayne Taylor]

Hi Tom,

I’m a new user.  I was having trouble using the CentOS appliance to install as 
well.  May I recommend you try using the “script” technique instead?  Here’s 
what worked for me:

Let me know how it works out!

Subject: [RDD] Install on a lenovo 300S?

I want to install a Rivendell client setup from the appliance on a new i5 
lenovo 300S (small form factor) and haven't found a way to see and select the 
install options. It first asks if I want to check the media, then loads and 
jumps to the Centos language options. When finished, Rivendell will not run and 
seems to be missing components. Without any updates or changes, it will not 
connect to mysql.

I set it up to point to the server anyhow and it boots fine and mounts 
/var/snd, shared folders, etc, but says the rivendell daemons can't run. I have 
checked and double checked users, host names, permissions and can't find a 
problem. One time it told me that my server database was schema 220 and the 
client 259. It is all 259. I have reviewed and messed with BIOS settings 
several times with no change..

Any suggestions? I'm ready to return it to the store and build my own. I just 
want a decent small form quiet running client in the studio for airplay. My 
large self-built boxes work fine but are now over-kill with Livewire - no need 
for sound cards.

Wayne,

Yes, that worked. I first installed CentOS 6.7 from a live iso DVD I had
and with the right BIOS settings -it seems that lenovo UEFI BIOS doesn't
play well with kernels below 3.x, it rebooted fine. Then I downloaded
Rivendell and the Key, installed as client, updated all, and now I need to
make just a few modifications for our setup. It actually runs!

Thanks for the tip.

Re: [RDD] Install on a lenovo 300S?

[Rob Landry]

If you're using a server, you need to make sure you're installing the same 
version of Rivendell on all your workstations.


I would start by building the new machine as a stand-alone. Once you get 
it working, you can upgrade the server and any other machines to the 
version of Rivendell on the new machine, and get it talking to the server.


But first, set up the new machine as a stand-alone and get Rivendell to 
run.


Are you using the CentOS 6 Appliance, or the CentOS 7 Appliance? Be aware 
that CentOSis a conservative distribution; its components will be tried 
and true, but they won't be the latest versions, which means they may not 
be compatible with brand new hardware.


I ran into such a problem just yesterday with Debian 8, which doesn't like 
the Intel graphics adapter in my brand new machine. I had to use Debian 9, 
which has newer drivers.

Re: [RDD] Install on a lenovo 300S?

[Tom Van Gorkom]

Yes, I understand. I have built several clients for our riv network using
CentOS 6.x and Riv 2.15.2 now. I don't connect to the server until they are
the same versions. The older systems load and configure easily but the
newest, the lenovo, has been a pain. I can't even get the appliance DVD to
load right. If I use legacy boot on it, it looks good but the hard drive
won't boot. If I use the UEFI boot on the DVD, it skips the installation
options and doesn't install all of the components needed for Riv to run
with all of it's resources. If I install CentOS first, then Riv from the
Paravel repo, I have to find all the missing components, it seems, unless I
don't know all the steps. At this moment, I have everything working by that
method except seeing the audio wave in the cuts and getting the RDXport
error...so far.

I would like a clean install from the DVD appliance disk if I can figure
out how to get around the BIOS problems.

Old machines are easy to use but I need to drive a high def display with
the main computer. If I can't get this resolved this week, I will return it
to the store and buy a newer used Dell.
