| slick666 | hello all | 18:49 |
| slick666 | I'm looking to move from a single myth system to a server | 18:50 |
| slick666 | with multiple frontends | 18:50 |
| rhpot1991 | slick666: go on? | 18:51 |
| slick666 | sry | 18:51 |
| slick666 | I was fixing a fat finger message | 18:51 |
| slick666 | the server is a VM on an ubuntu server | 18:51 |
| slick666 | I think I have everything right | 18:51 |
| slick666 | but the USB hauppauge device shows up | 18:52 |
| slick666 | but it doesn't seemto load | 18:52 |
| slick666 | Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2040:7200 Hauppauge | 18:53 |
| slick666 | is there a way to reload this manually? | 18:53 |
| rhpot1991 | what are you using for the VM, virtualbox? | 18:53 |
| slick666 | KVM | 18:54 |
| slick666 | it's on a quadcore Xeon but it's the only VM running right now | 18:54 |
| rhpot1991 | no experience there sorry, its generally not recommended to run your backend in a VM | 18:55 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like that might be more of a question for the ubuntu server team | 18:55 |
| slick666 | for some reason the #KVM channel is moderated so I can't ask the question there | 18:56 |
| slick666 | the VM seems happy, and it has the USB device | 18:56 |
| slick666 | but with now /dev/dvb/adapter0 | 18:56 |
| rhpot1991 | slick666: register with freenode and you should be good | 18:56 |
| slick666 | notmuch myth can do :( | 18:56 |
| slick666 | oh | 18:57 |
| slick666 | I'llgive that a shot | 18:57 |
| slick666 | thanks | 18:57 |
| mrand | type?? | 19:11 |
| rhpot1991 | what now mrand? | 19:12 |
| mrand | just my daughter typing in the wrong window | 19:12 |
| rhpot1991 | heh, that makes more sense | 19:14 |

| mrand | lol. Trying my best! | 19:14 |
| hansaplast | need some help with mythtv-backend during boot | 21:12 |
| hansaplast | need some help with mythtv-backend during boot | 21:15 |
| rich | tried loading MythUbuntu 9.10 - restart always fails at GRUB ... simply get the GRUB prompt | 21:17 |
| rich | Used whole drive so the MRB should be ok ... | 21:17 |
| rich | Hansaplast - what is your problem? | 21:17 |
| hansaplast | ivtv drivers are loaded AFTER the backend during startup. Therfore I manually need to restart the backend to get thigs working. | 21:19 |
| hansaplast | can you get into single usermode ? | 21:20 |
| rich | don't know how with GRUB ... starting to research now. It's been too long since I layed w/grub | 21:21 |
| rich | ivtv driver ordering was an issue i recall playing with a few years ago when I did a SuSE install | 21:22 |
| rich | don't remember the solution - since I suspect it is no longer applicable. | 21:22 |
| hansaplast | I need to fiddle with /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf but I'm unfamiliar with upstart | 21:23 |
| rich | upstart? | 21:24 |
| rich | meaning the order at bootup? | 21:24 |
| hansaplast | upstart is a mechanism ubuntu (karmic) uses for starting daemons during the boot process. | 21:25 |
| hansaplast | since I'm more familliar with freebsd then ubuntu I'm stuck here. | 21:25 |
| rich | sorry - really can't help - just started using Ubuntu. | 21:26 |
| hansaplast | afa your grub problem. Not so familliar with it either but I seem to recall that you can manually enter the kernel params. | 21:27 |
| rich | just came across a bug report on launchpad that says it defaults to installing grub on hd0 b on hd0 even if you are installing ubuntu to a different drive. | 21:29 |
| rich | I have not worked with this system in so long ... but I suspect the drive I want is not the 1st drive ... need to go check | 21:30 |
| hansaplast | hmmm. Seems that with ubuntu 9.10 grub is replaced with grub2.. | 21:30 |
| rich | reading further - looks like it is within Ubuntu & not just the MythUbuntu | 21:31 |
| rich | yeah - just reading that | 21:31 |
| hansaplast | can you try: set root=(hd1,1) | 21:31 |
| rich | think I found something on https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/414996 - Soulmates_2003 on 2010/01/10 posted something with grub cmds | 21:32 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #414996 in Mythbuntu: “[karmic] grub re-writes boot sector on wrong drive on fresh install” | 21:32 |
| rich | Zinn ... thanks - just reading that! | 21:32 |
| Zinn | Hi rich, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 21:32 |
| rich | hmmm ... BIOS says the drive I wanted to use is in fact the first ... | 21:34 |
| hansaplast | Partition numbering has changed. The first partition is now 1 rather than 0. The first device is still 0, however (no change). | 21:34 |
| rich | The display only shows the word GRUB - everything I type is ignored | 21:35 |
| hansaplast | what drive did you installed on? | 21:35 |
| rich | have 3 drives - 1 80GB, one 320 GB and one 400GB | 21:35 |
| rich | I built it on the 80GB which is the primary IDE drive (BIOS reported) | 21:36 |
| rich | I may just load UBuntu to see if the error remains ... can then build Myth or use the packages | 21:37 |
| hansaplast | you also use sata? If you use a mixed (IDE/SATA) setup, maybe drive order is confused | 21:37 |
| rich | ANy thought of 64 bit playing a role? | 21:37 |
| rich | Good point. The 400 GB is likely a SATA drive ... | 21:38 |
| rich | yep! need to open it up and see what is inside... | 21:38 |
| hansaplast | else try booting the live cd and check which drive is used to boot from | 21:38 |
| rich | IIRC - th e80GB drive was the one used there | 21:39 |
| hansaplast | used wher? | 21:40 |
| hansaplast | *where | 21:40 |
| rich | When i booted from the live CD, and the booted from the first disk, I think it was the 80GB drive that was booted from. It had Ubuntu on it (karmic) so there was not a ready difference to see | 21:42 |
| hansaplast | bump.. | 21:43 |
| hansaplast | So you can boot with the live cd? | 21:44 |
| hansaplast | I mean, can you boot the installed partition using the live cd? | 21:44 |
| hansaplast | If so you can use 'mount -v' to see which drive is mounted / | 21:46 |
| rich | sorry - went & opened the box up ... booting from LiveCD | 21:46 |
| rich | brb | 21:46 |
| hansaplast | brb2 smokin (outside) | 21:49 |
| hansaplast | back | 22:01 |
| rich | think I figured it out. | 22:10 |
| rich | When re-installing, the 400GB drive is on sda1, the 80GB is sdb1. So the 80GB is not the first drive after all | 22:11 |
| hansaplast | And? what was the prob? | 22:11 |
| rich | since I blew both drives during the install, GRUB is hosed | 22:11 |
| hansaplast | You have defect drives? | 22:13 |
| rich | This system was on the shelf for a long time ... that is possible | 22:21 |
| hansaplast | aha. Found a solution for my problem to. | 22:21 |
| hansaplast | I hope... need testing though :) | 22:22 |
| rich | I tend to think the configuration is ... questionable at best. So I should disassemble & reassemble to be sure things are inserted as I want/know | 22:22 |
| rich | What was your solution? | 22:22 |
| hansaplast | Test the drives before install :) | 22:23 |
| rich | It is fun looking in the mirror to find the source of the problem ... I do it waaay to often | 22:24 |
| rich | Have a great nite/day (whichever is right for you) | 22:24 |
| hansaplast | nite. NL here | 22:24 |
| hansaplast | you too.. Sleep well | 22:24 |
| rich | ciao | 22:24 |
| hansaplast | doei. | 22:25 |
| fried_penguin | I think I have a permissions prob going on. Getting empty recordings | 22:41 |
| hansaplast | which user is running mythtv | 22:57 |
| hansaplast | backened | 22:57 |
| hansaplast | @fried_penguin which user is running the backend? | 22:58 |
