Whoops. Done. Most of the pages are directly editable, so if you see any other typos you should be able to access them directly. Cheers. -- Ned Scott 19:45, 5 November 2011 (EDT)

HOWTO: Moneual Labs MonCaso 312 HTPC case

Hi Guys Over the last couple of days I have re-built my mono 312 and the following steps get you going on XBMC:

Installed XBMC FRESH and ran the following commands:

 apt-get update
 wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lirc/lirc_0.9.0~pre1.orig.tar.bz2
 tar -jxvf lirc_0.9.0~pre1.orig.tar.bz2
 apt-get install libtool automake autoconf dialog
 cd lirc-0.9.0-pre1/
 ./configure --with-driver=mplay2
 make && make install

Changed the paths in /etc/init.d/lirc (from /usr/ to /usr/local/)

 vi /etc/init.d/lirc
 :1,$ s/\/usr\//\/usr\/local\//g

Changed /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to have ONLY:

 REMOTE_DRIVER="mplay2"
 REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyUSB0"

Edit the file /etc/lirc/lircd.conf as follow :

     end codes
 end remote

I then rebooted the machine and open a ssh console and run irw, I get the keystrokes! yahoo!!! at this stage!!!

Added the following keymap to the /usr/share/xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml file and WALLA - everything works.
