| jthundley | mythbuntu.org seems to be down. anyone have a download link or torrent? | 00:50 |

| chuckf | I ran an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 last night. Now I cannot get the mythfrontend to run. It is failing at a point where it tries to mount /dev/sdb. However during the upgrade /dev/sdb became /dev/sda. I cannot figure out where to change this in any config files. I am likely missing the right spot to make the change. Any help is appreciated | 01:18 |
| chuckf | I can pastebin more/all of the startup messages but I belive the missing /dev/sdb is the core of the issue from what I'm seeing | 01:19 |
| jthundley | chuckf: now that's something easy I can actually help you fix | 02:14 |
| jthundley | I upgraded and it broke my remote so I'm reinstalling :( | 02:15 |
| jthundley | anyway, you want to edit /etc/fstab | 02:15 |
| jthundley | this file tells your system which device files are to be mounted on the filesystem and where | 02:15 |
| jthundley | these device filenames can change between big upgrades like that | 02:15 |
| jthundley | in fact, my dvdrom drives got swapped | 02:16 |
| jthundley | so all you have to do is change /dev/sdb to /dev/sda in /etc/fstab | 02:16 |
| jthundley | and I've had this happen to me before, there's actually a better method for this kind of thing | 02:16 |
| jthundley | each hard drive has a unique ID | 02:16 |
| jthundley | you can tell linux to mount a certain hard drive at a mountpoint using the unique ID so that if the devices ever change for whatever reason the correct drive will always be mounted | 02:17 |
| jthundley | are you interested in doing that? | 02:17 |
| chuckf | jthundley: I checked the fstab file and it is already using the uuid and indicating that it was /dev/sda1 during install. There is no reference to /dev/sdb at all | 02:25 |
| jthundley | oh, I thought you said that /dev/sdb became /dev/sda on your system | 02:26 |
| jthundley | so your fstab is already using UUIDs, eh? | 02:26 |
| jthundley | I'd play around with that file, that's definitely what controls mounting and stuff | 02:26 |
| chuckf | well before the upgrade the drive was /dev/sdb when I checked mount points and such. After the upgrade it was /dev/sda | 02:27 |
| jthundley | the actual drive in the system | 02:27 |
| jthundley | not in fstab | 02:27 |
| chuckf | correct | 02:27 |
| jthundley | ok | 02:27 |
| jthundley | and there's no mention of either in fstab because it's using all UUID's | 02:27 |
| chuckf | I've done some more checking and found that this may be the result of mediamonitor. If I can figure out how to disable and/or configure that it might fix the issues | 02:28 |
| jthundley | maybe, I don't know what that is | 02:28 |
| jthundley | if your fstab is already using UUIDs it won't screw up mounting like this | 02:28 |
| chuckf | in the fstab there is a commented out line before the line with the UUID that says '# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation' | 02:28 |

| Zinn | [help.ubuntu.com] UsingUUID - Community Ubuntu Documentation | 02:29 |
| jthundley | this is a good page that'll show you the commands to get UUIDs and such | 02:30 |

| tgm4883 | puff, yes? | 15:57 |
| Keithamus | Anyone on LTSP Lucid with nvidia drivers? | 16:26 |
| RobertLaptop | I am having nothing but lirc problems with the lastest version. Is lirc_cmdir included with 10.04 and how do you install it? | 21:04 |
| Rob_Z | when 9.10 came out, there was issues with some haupaggue remote controls no longer working because of i2c compoenents removed from the kernel, has this been addressed in 10.04? I wouldn't mind upgrading, but not having a working remote and having to recompile kernel modules and things were a little annoying | 23:34 |
| mrand | 9.10 unsure. Have a spare partition or HD to try it out on? The lirc version is the same between the two, but the kernel might contain a few other fixes. Hopefully new lirc version coming for 10.10. | 23:44 |
| mrand | s/9.10/Rob_Z/ | 23:44 |
| Rob_Z | spare hrd drives yes, time to do it not sure, maybe next week | 23:48 |
| Rob_Z | i just remember talking to the lirc guy, and he stated it was i2c things yanked from the kernel, i'll poke around | 23:48 |
| puff | tgm4883: So, you were saying the other day that, depending on my set-top box, I might not need a cable card. YOu asked me what the back of my box looked like. See darksleep.com/puff/dvr | 23:57 |
| Zinn | [darksleep.com] | 23:57 |
| puff | tgm4883: I think you were asking about composite out, it appears to have composite out. | 23:58 |
| puff | tgm4883: Er, component out, that is. | 23:58 |
| puff | Or, if anybody else wants to chime in here... :-). | 23:58 |
| mrand | duckface | 23:58 |
| mrand | ops | 23:58 |
| puff | Basically I'm trying to figure out what video card to get, and also I was whining about comcast encryption and wondering if I should pay for the comcast DVR option. | 23:59 |
| puff | When tgm4883 said, if my box has component out, I might not need to. | 23:59 |
