Wished I had more time and a better understanding of the app. I would be happy to port it to Ubuntu. This is not as straight forward as most of the apps I work.

have installed Ubuntu with XBMC on my HTPC and now my HDA does not wake up anymore, because I dont have the AES client installed anymore.

what is the linux equivalent solution for Ubuntu for this?

so:
- wake up server on boot, after standby, after hibernate

EDIT:
found it: Advanced WOL for XBMC

hope this helps others.

Would be a good idea to add this to the wiki. Maybe we need to start a Ubuntu Tips page or something similar. We have a small tutorials section now, so a link could go there as well.

I had a look at why AES does not run in Ubuntu 12:04, and running:
ruby -d aes.rb
As root in directory, /var/hda/web-apps/aes/html/lib, which is what the rc sctipt does (except the -d flag for debug)
Gives the this output:
aes.rb:361: warning: (...) interpreted as grouped expression
aes.rb:405: warning: (...) interpreted as grouped expression
aes.rb:424: warning: (...) interpreted as grouped expression
Exception `LoadError' at /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:1241 - no such file to load -- rubygems/defaults/operating_system

Exception `LoadError' at /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36 - no such file to load -- xmlsimple

This lead me to suspect that aes does not use the ruby libs (that are installed in, /var/lib/gems/), so I tried using -I flag.
So using command :
ruby -d -I /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/xml-simple-1.1.1/lib -I /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ri_cal-0.8.8/lib -I /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/popen4-0.1.2/lib -I /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/open4-1.3.0/lib -I /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/Platform-0.4.0/lib aes.rb

Exception `NoMethodError' at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rational.rb:78 - undefined method `gcd' for Rational(1, 2):Rational

Gets rid of the "require" errors, but still it is not working. I.e. web interface is still unavailable. And still the gcd method os undefined.
I would say that this indicates that AES runs the Ubuntu native gems libs rather than the once provided with amahi HDA.
I'm not familiar with Ruby and/or the system layout of amahi hda but perhaps this info is of use for somone looking into this problem.

Looks like the install script, which was created for Fedora, does not work properly with Ubuntu. Can you run the script manually and post the output.

There is a log file of the Amahi app installer, I don't know the exact location in Ubuntu but it should be worthwhile checking.

Where do I find the install scripts for aes?
Or for anything hda!
I used the on-click install from dashboard!

In Fedora, it was /var/hda/web-apps/aes/html/aes-extra/aes-install.sh.

The location of the Amahi log I cannot remember, maybe /var/log...?

Yes AES does not work in Ubuntu which reflects why it's in ALPHA status for Ubuntu. There is a bug on the issue tracker to look into making this app compatible, however we have not had time.

http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/967

It is unlikely we will have time to work this app for some time. If Jayrock can work it into his schedule, it will get updated. Otherwise I am sorry to say it will remain Fedora 14 compatible only for now.

First I should mention that I am not an expert at Linux but have managed to get by pretty well so far. I installed and used the earlier release of AES with no trouble and then bought the 0.9.5 version after moving to Fedora 14. Unfortunately I dorked up the installation pretty badly by messing up the installation of the dependencies, Ruby etc and cannot seem to uninstall or straighten the mess out and fear that I will have to reinstall my server to straighten things out, but that's probably appropriate to another thread. I do actually have AES working, but I have no way to administer it through the web interface, I get an error when I try to load it. What I want to know is how would I go about reinstalling AES without having to purchase it again? I can't find the install file for it on my system and can't seem to find any reference to the purchase in my Amahi account or see a way to download it again. I still have $1.01 left over from the $5 initial funds but that's all I can see. Any help that someone can provide to point me in the right direction would be appreciated!

Hello,

Sorry to hear things are all messed up. Good news is once you have purchased an app, you have it for life. A reinstall does not require another purchase.

If you are having problems with reinstall on the web site, please email support.
