<div>Sometimes, the express cd installer gets caught in a rebootloop.<br />
It asks you to reboot, then it tells you it needs to reboot again over and over.<br />
If you are one of the lucky ones expiriencing this, here's what to do:<br />
<br />
= Toubleshooting =<br />
<br />
* If there is no network, you can try this:<br />
** Select debug<br />
** system-config-network (configure your network interface correctly ( I used static ) / also make sure your dns are configured exit the system-config-network)<br />
** /etc/init.d/network restart<br />
** ConfigAmahi (wait for a while untill it says reboot, then reboot)<br />

<div>== Please read this carefully ==<br />
Since we are getting many users with problems using "wrong" versions, please be aware of:<br />
* windows, only Pro versions (win2k pro, xp pro, Vista business) support domain features, home versions do not.<br />
* mac osx does support joining a windows network<br />
* Linux supports samba shares<br />
* Windows 7 needs tweaking, please create a registry file (Win7SambaDomainMember.reg with the following contents:<br />
<br><br />
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br><br />
<br><br />
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManWorkstation\Parameters]<br><br />
"DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000<br><br />

* Save the file, and double-click it, so that it gets entered into the registry. (windows will warn you that it might be unsafe to add things to the registry, just click yes, and a message should apear that the keys have been entered into the registry)<br />
* Windows 7 issues:<br />
** There is a warning kicked up that can be ignored. it complains about DNS not beeing set correctly. reboot and you are there<br />
** as of 06/02/2010 roaming profiles work under windows 7<br />
<br />
== Making Amahi a PDC - Primary Domain Controller ==<br />
<br />
First you need to enable PDC options for the amahi server.<br />
to do this go to your dashboard, then select Setup, then Settings, then tick the box that says '''Advanched Features''' <br />
After you've done this go to '''Shares''' then '''Settings'''<br />
now you'll see the option called '''PDC''' enable it for Amahi to act as a windows PDC Server.<br />
<br />
<br />
* To '''join''' a machine to the domain, it has to be done by logging in once as root. Unfortunately, Amahi does not currently create a root samba user. For now and until we enable granting admin rights to other users, do this:<br />
<br />
smbpasswd -a root<br />
(set the samba password for the root user)<br />
smbpasswd -e root<br />
<br />
* Then join the domain: Select start, control panel, system, and click computername. Then select network-id and follow the wizard. (Domain name default is 'home' but can be changed in your HDA dashboard, under Setup > Shares > Settings then click on the domain name and change it to what you want.) When it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created above. '''This only needs to be done once'''<br />
<br />
==Full procedure for Windows XP==<br />
Thanks to obnox for explaining all this to robbiet480 who got his PDC working with the same directions<br />
# On the Windows Box<br />
## Go to network connections<br />
## Double click your main network connection <br />
## Open the TCP/IP properties window<br />
## Click advanced<br />
## go to the WINS tab<br />
## Add your Amahi IP to the list<br />
## force enable NetBIOS Name, <br />
# On the Amahi box<br />
## Open a terminal<br />
### smbpasswd -a root (set the samba password for the root user. You need to remember this for later!)<br />
### smbpasswd -e root<br />
### sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart <br />
### sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd restart<br />
# Back to windows!<br />
## Open the System window by right clicking on My Computer in the Start Menu<br />
## Go to the "Computer Name" tab<br />
## Click Change<br />
## Type in the domain IN ALL CAPS (default is 'home' but can be changed in your HDA dashboard, under Setup > Shares > Settings then click on the domain name ) and finish by binding the windows client using the root credentials you setup above. Restart the computer<br />
## login w/ your user or root from the Windows login screen. <br />
## you are done!<br />

'''WARNING: These settings apply to the beta test only!!'''<br />
'''Other users see the old directives'''<br />
<br />
Browse to your HDA dashboard.<br />
Select setup, then shares, then settings, then check PDC.<br />
now your new smb.conf is beeing generated!<br />
create the following file:<br />
* /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon/logon.bat<br />
and add the following to it:<br />
;Sync Windows clock with Samba clock<br />
net time /set /yes<br />
;Mount a samba share into x:<br />
net use u: \\hda\BACKUP /persistent:no<br />
net use v: \\hda\AFBEELDINGEN /persistent:no<br />
net use w: \\hda\DOCUMENTEN /persistent:no<br />
net use x: \\hda\SOFTWARE /persistent:no<br />
net use y: \\hda\VIDEOS /persistent:no<br />
net use z: \\hda\MUZIEK /persistent:no<br />
<br />
save the file.<br />
next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.<br />
Select start, control panel, system, and click computername.<br />
then select network-id and follow the wizard.<br />
when it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created on the PDC.<br />
This is needed because Windows will otherwise be unable to join the Domain.<br />
once windows welcomes you to the new domain, you can restart your computer, and login with any user you created through the hda tab!<br />
<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
= Old Directions =<br />
<br />
Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br><br />
Login as root: su -<br><br />
First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br><br />
* cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb_old.conf<br />
next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with<br />
* nano /etc/samba/smb.conf<br />
change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br><br />
Save your smb.conf <br />
<br />
So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles<br />
<br />
Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br><br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:<br />
* chown -R JanJacobs /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br><br />
this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.<br />
* useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername$<br />
* smbpasswd -a -m computername<br />
Now as you can see there are some differences, when we added the Windows pc to Linux, we added the name computername$,<br />
this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br><br />
Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m, <br />
this again tells Samba that we are adding a pc, not a person.<br> <br />
Also, you probably noticed that it did not prompt for a password, it just added computername$. <br><br />
When you logon to the domain, Samba will read the password from your Windows password.<br><br />
Now that this done, all what is left to do is restart Samba,<br />
this also has to be done for each computer you intend to login with.<br><br />
no we dont add the $ sign, since all we do is adding an existing linux user to the samba password file.<br><br />
we tell samba its a machine simply by adding the -m switch to the command.<br><br />
At this point i have network logins working, using roaming profiles.<br><br />
<br />
now its time to restart samba.<br />
* /etc/init.d/smb restart<br />
<br />
Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br><br />
(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br><br />
After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)</div>Janjacobshttps://wiki.amahi.org/index.php?title=PDC&diff=7987PDC2010-02-06T21:09:44Z<p>Janjacobs: </p>

== Making Amahi a PDC - Primary Domain Controller ==<br />
<br />
First you need to enable PDC options for the amahi server.<br />
to do this go to your dashboard, then select Setup, then Settings, then tick the box that says '''Advanched Features''' <br />
After you've done this go to '''Shares''' then '''Settings'''<br />
now you'll see the option called '''PDC''' enable it for Amahi to act as a windows PDC Server.<br />
<br />
<br />
* To '''join''' a machine to the domain, it has to be done by logging in once as root. Unfortunately, Amahi does not currently create a root samba user. For now and until we enable granting admin rights to other users, do this:<br />
<br />
smbpasswd -a root<br />
(set the samba password for the root user)<br />
smbpasswd -e root<br />
<br />
* Then join the domain: Select start, control panel, system, and click computername. Then select network-id and follow the wizard. (Domain name default is 'home' but can be changed in your HDA dashboard, under Setup > Shares > Settings then click on the domain name and change it to what you want.) When it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created above. '''This only needs to be done once'''<br />

This is needed because Windows will otherwise be unable to join the Domain.<br />
once windows welcomes you to the new domain, you can restart your computer, and login with any user you created through the hda tab!<br />
<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
= Old Directions =<br />
<br />
Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br><br />
Login as root: su -<br><br />
First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br><br />
* cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb_old.conf<br />
next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with<br />
* nano /etc/samba/smb.conf<br />
change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br><br />
Save your smb.conf <br />
<br />
So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles<br />
<br />
Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br><br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:<br />
* chown -R JanJacobs /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br><br />
this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.<br />
* useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername$<br />
* smbpasswd -a -m computername<br />
Now as you can see there are some differences, when we added the Windows pc to Linux, we added the name computername$,<br />
this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br><br />
Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m, <br />
this again tells Samba that we are adding a pc, not a person.<br> <br />
Also, you probably noticed that it did not prompt for a password, it just added computername$. <br><br />
When you logon to the domain, Samba will read the password from your Windows password.<br><br />
Now that this done, all what is left to do is restart Samba,<br />
this also has to be done for each computer you intend to login with.<br><br />
no we dont add the $ sign, since all we do is adding an existing linux user to the samba password file.<br><br />
we tell samba its a machine simply by adding the -m switch to the command.<br><br />
At this point i have network logins working, using roaming profiles.<br><br />
<br />
now its time to restart samba.<br />
* /etc/init.d/smb restart<br />
<br />
Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br><br />
(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br><br />
After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)</div>Janjacobshttps://wiki.amahi.org/index.php?title=XBMC&diff=6575XBMC2009-12-12T20:08:11Z<p>Janjacobs: </p>

<div>==Installing XBMC on Fedora 12==<br />
<br />
XBMC by default has no rpm's, and compiling doesnt work due to some error in the python library.<br />
however, someone was kind enough to compile working rpm's out of the SVN branch, making XBMC a nice piece of quality software to add to your HDA expirience.<br />
<br />
===Installing the required repository's===<br />
First, we have to create 2 files:<br />
<br />
*/etc/yum.repos.d/spotnet.repo<br />
the contents of this file should be:<br><br />
[spotnet]<br><br />

===Installing XBMC===<br />
To install XBMC we open up a terminal, su to root and execute the following command:<br />
yum install xbmc xbmc-skin-*<br />

This should install xbmc, its required dependencies, and all the skins currently available in the main package!<br />
once you're done, XBMC is located inside the GNOME Menu, and you can start adding files to your library<br />

<div>== Please read this carefully ==<br />
Since we are getting many users with problems using "wrong" versions, please be aware of:<br />
* windows, only Pro versions (win2k pro, xp pro, Vista business) support domain features, home versions do not.<br />
* mac osx does support joining a windows network<br />
* Linux supports samba shares<br />
<br />
== Making Amahi a PDC - Primary Domain Controller ==<br />
<br />
First you need to enable PDC options for the amahi server.<br />
to do this go to your dashboard, then select Setup, then Settings, then tick the box that says '''Advanched Features''' <br />
After you've done this go to '''Shares''' then '''Settings'''<br />
now you'll see the option called '''PDC''' enable it for Amahi to act as a windows PDC Server.<br />
<br />
<br />
* To '''join''' a machine to the domain, it has to be done by logging in once as root. Unfortunately, Amahi does not currently create a root samba user. For now and until we enable granting admin rights to other users, do this:<br />
<br />
smbpasswd -a root<br />
(set the samba password for the root user)<br />
smbpasswd -e root<br />
<br />
* Then join the domain: Select start, control panel, system, and click computername. Then select network-id and follow the wizard. When it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created above. '''This only needs to be done once'''<br />
<br />
==Full procedure for Windows XP==<br />
Thanks to obnox for explaining all this to robbiet480 who got his PDC working with the same directions<br />
# On the Windows Box<br />
## Go to network connections<br />
## Double click your main network connection <br />
## Open the TCP/IP properties window<br />
## Click advanced<br />
## go to the WINS tab<br />
## Add your Amahi IP to the list<br />
## force enable NetBIOS Name, <br />
# On the Amahi box<br />
## Open a terminal<br />
### smbpasswd -a root (set the samba password for the root user. You need to remember this for later!)<br />
### smbpasswd -e root<br />
### sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart <br />
### sudo /etc/init.d/nmbd restart<br />
# Back to windows!<br />
## Open the System window by right clicking on My Computer in the Start Menu<br />
## Go to the "Computer Name" tab<br />
## Click Change<br />
## Type in the domain IN ALL CAPS and finish by binding the windows client using the root credentials you setup above. Restart the computer<br />
## login w/ your user or root from the Windows login screen. <br />
## you are done!<br />
<br />
== How to Join a Domain with a Non-root User ==<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Old Development Notes ==<br />
<br />
'''WARNING: These settings apply to the beta test only!!'''<br />
'''Other users see the old directives'''<br />
<br />
Browse to your HDA dashboard.<br />
Select setup, then shares, then settings, then check PDC.<br />
now your new smb.conf is beeing generated!<br />
create the following file:<br />
* /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon/logon.bat<br />
and add the following to it:<br />
;Sync Windows clock with Samba clock<br />
net time /set /yes<br />
;Mount a samba share into x:<br />
net use u: \\hda\BACKUP /persistent:no<br />
net use v: \\hda\AFBEELDINGEN /persistent:no<br />
net use w: \\hda\DOCUMENTEN /persistent:no<br />
net use x: \\hda\SOFTWARE /persistent:no<br />
net use y: \\hda\VIDEOS /persistent:no<br />
net use z: \\hda\MUZIEK /persistent:no<br />
<br />
save the file.<br />
next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.<br />
Select start, control panel, system, and click computername.<br />
then select network-id and follow the wizard.<br />
when it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created on the PDC.<br />
This is needed because Windows will otherwise be unable to join the Domain.<br />
once windows welcomes you to the new domain, you can restart your computer, and login with any user you created through the hda tab!<br />
<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
= Old Directions =<br />
<br />
Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br><br />
Login as root: su -<br><br />
First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br><br />
* cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb_old.conf<br />
next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with<br />
* nano /etc/samba/smb.conf<br />
change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br><br />
Save your smb.conf <br />
<br />
So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles<br />
<br />
Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br><br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:<br />
* chown -R JanJacobs /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br><br />
this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.<br />
* useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername$<br />
* smbpasswd -a -m computername<br />
Now as you can see there are some differences, when we added the Windows pc to Linux, we added the name computername$,<br />
this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br><br />
Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m, <br />
this again tells Samba that we are adding a pc, not a person.<br> <br />
Also, you probably noticed that it did not prompt for a password, it just added computername$. <br><br />
When you logon to the domain, Samba will read the password from your Windows password.<br><br />
Now that this done, all what is left to do is restart Samba,<br />
this also has to be done for each computer you intend to login with.<br><br />
no we dont add the $ sign, since all we do is adding an existing linux user to the samba password file.<br><br />
we tell samba its a machine simply by adding the -m switch to the command.<br><br />
At this point i have network logins working, using roaming profiles.<br><br />
<br />
now its time to restart samba.<br />
* /etc/init.d/smb restart<br />
<br />
Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br><br />
(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br><br />
After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)</div>Janjacobshttps://wiki.amahi.org/index.php?title=PDC&diff=4933PDC2009-09-11T16:51:47Z<p>Janjacobs: </p>

<br />
== Old Development Notes ==<br />
<br />
'''WARNING: These settings apply to the beta test only!!'''<br />
'''Other users see the old directives'''<br />
<br />
Browse to your HDA dashboard.<br />
Select setup, then shares, then settings, then check PDC.<br />
now your new smb.conf is beeing generated!<br />
create the following file:<br />
* /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon/logon.bat<br />
and add the following to it:<br />
;Sync Windows clock with Samba clock<br />
net time /set /yes<br />
;Mount a samba share into x:<br />
net use u: \\hda\BACKUP /persistent:no<br />
net use v: \\hda\AFBEELDINGEN /persistent:no<br />
net use w: \\hda\DOCUMENTEN /persistent:no<br />
net use x: \\hda\SOFTWARE /persistent:no<br />
net use y: \\hda\VIDEOS /persistent:no<br />
net use z: \\hda\MUZIEK /persistent:no<br />
<br />
save the file.<br />
next go to the workstation that you want to add to the domain.<br />
Select start, control panel, system, and click computername.<br />
then select network-id and follow the wizard.<br />
when it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created on the PDC.<br />
This is needed because Windows will otherwise be unable to join the Domain.<br />
once windows welcomes you to the new domain, you can restart your computer, and login with any user you created through the hda tab!<br />
<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
= Old Directions =<br />
<br />
Open a terminal on your hda, or, if you use putty, open a connection to your hda.<br><br />
Login as root: su -<br><br />
First, backup your smb.conf file, in case you run into problems you can easily revert back.<br><br />
* cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb_old.conf<br />
next we need to modify the smb file, i use nano for this, you may use any editor you feel confortable with<br />
* nano /etc/samba/smb.conf<br />
change the apropriate parts in the smb.conf.<br><br />
Save your smb.conf <br />
<br />
So at this point we need to create the corresponding directories:<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/netlogon<br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles<br />
<br />
Each time you want a user to join the domain, a user needs to be added, this can be done through the users tab on the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
aditionally, a profile directory needs to be created.<br><br />
* mkdir /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
JanJacobs is the user i created through the users tab of the amahi dashboard.<br><br />
Since we are logging in as root, we need to change the ownership of the previously created directory to the corresponding owner:<br />
* chown -R JanJacobs /var/hda/domain-settings/profiles/JanJacobs<br />
Now, this still doesnt allow us to login, because in samba, machines need to be added too!<br><br />
this can be done automaticly, but for the time beeing we do it manually, amahi may facilitate this for you in the future.<br />
* useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername$<br />
* smbpasswd -a -m computername<br />
Now as you can see there are some differences, when we added the Windows pc to Linux, we added the name computername$,<br />
this tells Linux that it is a machine, not a name.<br><br />
Next when we added the Samba password, we invoked the -m, <br />
this again tells Samba that we are adding a pc, not a person.<br> <br />
Also, you probably noticed that it did not prompt for a password, it just added computername$. <br><br />
When you logon to the domain, Samba will read the password from your Windows password.<br><br />
Now that this done, all what is left to do is restart Samba,<br />
this also has to be done for each computer you intend to login with.<br><br />
no we dont add the $ sign, since all we do is adding an existing linux user to the samba password file.<br><br />
we tell samba its a machine simply by adding the -m switch to the command.<br><br />
At this point i have network logins working, using roaming profiles.<br><br />
<br />
now its time to restart samba.<br />
* /etc/init.d/smb restart<br />
<br />
Now you need to setup your Windows pc for domain logins.<br><br />
(Note the first time that you join a Samba domain from Windows, you will need to join the domain by using root as the name, and your root password for the password.<br><br />
After rebooting, any valid user will be able to access the domain.)</div>Janjacobshttps://wiki.amahi.org/index.php?title=PDC&diff=4365PDC2009-08-24T14:08:38Z<p>Janjacobs: </p>

<div>== Please read this carefully ==<br />
Since we are getting many users with problems using "wrong" versions, please be aware of:<br />
* windows, only Pro versions (win2k pro, xp pro, Vista business) support domain features, home versions do not.<br />
* mac osx does support joining a windows network<br />
* Linux supports samba shares<br />
<br />
== Making Amahi a PDC - Primary Domain Controller ==<br />
<br />
* To '''join''' a machine to the domain, it has to be done by logging in once as root. Unfortunately, Amahi does not currently create a root samba user. For now and until we enable granting admin rights to other users, do this:<br />
<br />
smbpasswd -a root<br />
(set the samba password for the root user)<br />
smbpasswd -e root<br />
<br />
* Then join the domain: Select start, control panel, system, and click computername. Then select network-id and follow the wizard. When it asks you for a username/password, supply the root username/password you created above. '''This only needs to be done once'''<br />
