ZOTAC IONITX-C-U

Материал из LinuxMCE Wiki.

• I decided to use the Zotac Ion 230 motherboard for one of my Media Directors, here are the steps that I took to get it up and running.
• If you buy the 330 version keep in mind that you´ll need the included fan because the 330 generate more heat than the 230. Unfortunately the fan is kind of noisy and there is no way to tune the speed of the fan with settings in bios as of current bios version (2009-07-14).

Dont forget to purchase the board with the power adapter included. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500028

and you will need some RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178154

Steps

• Boot the motherboard and let the core build the initial image (should get to the AV wizard with no issues)
• Choose UI1 from the AV wizard for now, complete the AV wizard
• Once the image is complete you will need to update the nvidia drivers with these steps;

From a Bash shell w/ SSH support (Windows users can use Cygwin or PuTTY):

  ssh username@192.168.80.X 

... where the username (and subsequent password) is one specified when installing Kubuntu, and X is the IP address assigned to the device in the LinuxMCE_Admin_Website.

  wget http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/ubuntu-repos.key && sudo apt-key add ubuntu-repos.key && rm ubuntu-repos.key

.. this will download the repository key, make it available to the 'apt' package manager and will clean up by deleting the downloaded copy. Adding the new key will require the password for the user 'sambahelper' - simply hit the <Enter> key.

Next:

  echo "deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos intrepid release" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/avenard.list

• Then you will need to update and upgrade with these commands (using the 'sambahelper' password of simply hitting <Enter>):

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Things to test

• Test latest nVidia 185.14 driver as the 180 series seem to have some issues. At least for me with vdpau and MythTV.
