[18:49] <slick666> hello all
[18:50] <slick666> I'm looking to move from a single myth system to a server
[18:50] <slick666> with multiple frontends
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <slick666> but the USB hauppauge device shows up
[18:52] <slick666> but it doesn't seemto load
[18:53] <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?
[18:54] <slick666> KVM
[18:54] <slick666> it's on a quadcore Xeon but it's the only VM running right now
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <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 :(
[18:57] <slick666> oh
[18:57] <slick666> I'llgive that a shot
[18:57] <slick666> thanks
[19:11] <mrand> type??
[19:12] <rhpot1991> what now mrand?
[19:12] <mrand> just my daughter typing in the wrong window
[19:14] <rhpot1991> heh, that makes more sense
[19:14] <rhpot1991> teaching her how to support users?
[19:14] <mrand> lol.  Trying my best!
[21:12] <hansaplast> need some help with mythtv-backend during boot
[21:15] <hansaplast> need some help with mythtv-backend during boot
[21:17] <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?
[21:19] <hansaplast> ivtv drivers are loaded AFTER the backend during startup. Therfore I manually need to restart the backend to get thigs working.
[21:20] <hansaplast> can you get into single usermode ?
[21:21] <rich> don't know how with GRUB ... starting to research now.  It's been too long since I layed w/grub
[21:22] <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 don't remember the solution - since I suspect it is no longer applicable.
[21:23] <hansaplast> I need to fiddle with /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf but I'm unfamiliar with upstart
[21:24] <rich> upstart?
[21:24] <rich> meaning the order at bootup?
[21:25] <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.
[21:26] <rich> sorry - really can't help - just started using Ubuntu.
[21:27] <hansaplast> afa your grub problem. Not so familliar with it either but I seem to recall that you can  manually enter the kernel params.
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <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..
[21:31] <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)
[21:32] <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.
[21:34] <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).
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <rich> I built it on the 80GB which is the primary IDE drive (BIOS reported)
[21:37] <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?
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <rich> IIRC - th e80GB drive was the one used there
[21:40] <hansaplast> used wher?
[21:40] <hansaplast> *where
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <hansaplast> bump..
[21:44] <hansaplast> So you can boot with the live cd?
[21:44] <hansaplast> I mean, can you boot the installed partition using the live cd?
[21:46] <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
[21:49] <hansaplast> brb2 smokin (outside)
[22:01] <hansaplast> back
[22:10] <rich> think I figured it out.
[22:11] <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
[22:13] <hansaplast> You have defect drives?
[22:21] <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.
[22:22] <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?
[22:23] <hansaplast> Test the drives before install :)
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <hansaplast> doei.
[22:41] <fried_penguin> I think I have a permissions prob going on. Getting empty recordings
[22:57] <hansaplast> which user is running mythtv
[22:57] <hansaplast> backened
[22:58] <hansaplast> @fried_penguin which user is running the backend?
