| KirkB | Not sure where to go next with my display issue, so am hoping someone here can give me some ideas or help. I have my Sony flat panel CRt hooked up to my Myth box, but can't seem to get a good res on it through my HMDI --> DVI connection. | 05:22 |
|---|---|---|
| KirkB | I've manually mod'd xorg.conf to allow me to get the right resolution, as the EID was not being detected by the NVidia drivers | 05:22 |
| KirkB | however I can't seem to get a picture on the display - remote desktop shows it is up and working at the right res, but the TV just stays blank | 05:23 |
| KirkB | any ideas on how to prod this display to show the desktop being sent over the HDMI to DVI connection? | 05:23 |

| popey | is this the right place to ask user support questions? | 14:28 |
| Jay2k1 | maybe | 14:31 |
| Jay2k1 | what's wrong? | 14:31 |
| popey | if i boot up my backend (which has a DVB-S PCI Card) it works fine, I can record programmes, and watch them on my frontend, and stream fine | 14:32 |
| popey | after a while it stops working, I can ssh to it, but using mythweb I get very long delays showing backend status / recorded programmes | 14:33 |
| popey | the list of recorded programmes is empty | 14:33 |
| popey | and I sometimes get this in my browser:- | 14:33 |
| popey | Warning at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/status/handler.php, line 35: | 14:33 |
| popey | file_get_contents(http://10.10.10.2:6544) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed | 14:33 |
| Jay2k1 | FE/BE on separate machines? | 14:35 |
| popey | yes | 14:35 |
| popey | if i reboot the box it comes back to life and i can see programmes that were recorded again | 14:35 |
| Jay2k1 | and using mythbuntu right? | 14:36 |
| popey | yes | 14:36 |
| Jay2k1 | any clues like high load, using swap or like that? (on either machine) | 14:37 |
| popey | Daviey suggested i add the autobuilds trunk 0.22 repo too, which i did | 14:37 |
| popey | load average is practically zero | 14:37 |
| popey | no swap, plenty of free ram as cache | 14:37 |
| Jay2k1 | did you check logfiles? | 14:38 |
| popey | specificially? mythbackend.log? | 14:38 |
| Jay2k1 | umm dunno, for example yes | 14:39 |
| Jay2k1 | as i have absolutely no clue whats going onm, thats what i would do | 14:39 |
| Jay2k1 | syslog/messages, apache log, mythbackend.. | 14:40 |
| popey | yeah, there's nothing really jumping out | 14:42 |
| popey | wondering if the firmware for the dvb-s card is dodgy/faulty | 14:43 |
| Jay2k1 | hmm maybe | 14:50 |
| Jay2k1 | does that only happen when you're watching tv or record? or also when it just idles or plays music/movies | 14:50 |
| popey | it happens when its idle | 14:51 |
| Jay2k1 | when you can ssh to it in that state... did you try to check the db? | 14:52 |
| popey | how? | 14:54 |
| popey | its like that now, so now is a good time to do that kind of thing | 14:54 |
| popey | mysqlcheck -uroot -p -A --auto-repair | 14:56 |
| popey | like that? | 14:56 |
| Jay2k1 | no, i mean if you can access it at all | 16:19 |
| Jay2k1 | my thought is, when mythweb's list of recordings is empty, and mythweb runs on the backend, perhaps there's something wrong with accessing the db | 16:20 |
| Jay2k1 | if you suspect the dvb card firmware, you could always try to put the card out of the pc and try if it works then | 16:21 |
| Jay2k1 | you could also try to restart the mythbackend when it gets stuck to see if that helps... | 16:23 |
| Jay2k1 | somehow you have to track down the problem i think | 16:23 |
| jolaren | How long uptime do you haev on your servers when running mythbuntu with gui= | 16:24 |
| mrand | jolaren: depends on how often you update your kernel - that is typically the only thing requiring a reboot. | 16:36 |
| mrand | kernel updates are optional (but typically recommended) | 16:36 |
| jolaren | I know, was just wondering. I'm running a combined frontend and backend therefor the | 16:37 |
| jolaren | X | 16:37 |
| jolaren | But the gui has been buggy as hell on my combined fe/be | 16:37 |
| Zinn | jolaren: Please watch your language. | 16:37 |
| jolaren | Zinn, My apologizes. Didn't intend to offend | 16:37 |
| Zinn | Hi jolaren, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 16:37 |
| mrand | jolaren: the gui as in the frontend has been buggy, or the window manager? | 16:38 |
| jolaren | perhaps the window manager causing the frontend to collapse | 16:38 |
| jolaren | and at some points it cannot view the recordings | 16:39 |
| jolaren | trying to view them causes the frontend to collapse | 16:39 |
| jolaren | alltho watchin the same recordings from my netbook doesnt crash t | 16:39 |
| jolaren | it | 16:39 |
| mrand | I don't know why the window manager or other OS level things would cause that. What does the frontend log say when it crashes? | 16:39 |
| mrand | In other words, I suspect it isn't caused by the window manager. | 16:40 |
| jolaren | I will take a look next time it collaps | 16:41 |
| mrand | jolaren: you might make sure that you have auto-builds enabled so that you're running the latest bug fixes as well | 16:45 |
| jolaren | It does not automaticly update kernels etc right? | 16:45 |
| mrand | no, auto-builds simply updates mythtv executables with bug fixes whenever they are issued by the mythtv developers). It doesn't automatically move you to newer versions, just bug fixes. | 16:49 |
| jolaren | I think I have the auto builds enabled | 16:52 |
| jolaren | I will take a look | 16:52 |
| jolaren | mrand, can only do a partial upgrade tho | 16:59 |
| jolaren | but I did that now | 16:59 |
| seventoes | i just did the latest update on 0.22-fixes and now it seems mythbackend is starting before /dev/video0 exists | 20:47 |
| seventoes | so the card doesn't exist till i restart mythbackend | 20:48 |
