| qwebirc15363 | Hi everyone. I am just trying to install mythbuntu 10.10 and it give me and error. | 12:41 |
|---|---|---|
| qwebirc15363 | getpwuid_r(): failed due to unkown userid | 12:41 |
| qwebirc15363 | the cd dose work on other computer. | 12:42 |
| mycoDA | prolly something to ask in #ubuntu i am guesin | 12:42 |
| qwebirc15363 | am i in the wrong place!! | 12:43 |
| mycoDA | sorta - this is more for mythtv stuff, tho no harm askin ur more likely to get help with a starting install issue in #ubuntu since it doesnt sound at all myth specific | 12:44 |
| qwebirc15363 | okay thank you for the info. | 12:48 |

| jsheezy | I am using Mythbuntu 10.10 and keep having lockups and crashes. Is this a known issue and is there a fix? | 16:14 |
| superm1 | that's not enough details to solve your problem. some general things you'll want to do: 1) determine a root cause 2) see if it happens with the latest autobuilds 3) make sure you have all your kernel updates in order | 16:15 |
| mycosys | jsheezy - lockups and crashes in what while doing what on what sort of system is a good starting point, in other words | 16:16 |
| jsheezy | Okay, it is a fresh install and I ran all the updates. The latest crash resulted in it coming back with a BusyBox v1.15.3 prompt | 16:17 |
| mycoserve | so the only extra detail you will give us is the implication it is during boot? | 16:18 |
| mycoserve | WHEN is it happening | 16:18 |
| mycoserve | WHAT are you doing | 16:18 |
| mycoserve | WHAT is in the system | 16:18 |
| mycoserve | WHAT did you install | 16:19 |
| tgm4883 | That question just irritates me | 16:22 |
| mycosys | i crash - is there a fix? | 16:22 |
| tgm4883 | yes | 16:22 |
| jsheezy | It usually happens while in MythVideos. Last night for instance I watched a movie and it played fine, when I went to navigate to a new movie it locked up, exited MythVideos to Desktop then eventually rebooted to the BusyBox prompt. As far as what is in the system it is a mini pc... I am not on here to irritate anyone... I will provide all info that is needed. | 16:23 |
| tgm4883 | it assumes that we know about a large lockup and/or crashing issue and have done nothing to fix it | 16:23 |
| mycosys | we are magicians and technoshamans and telepaths you know | 16:23 |
| mycosys | it assumes ubuntu was released unbootable in this case | 16:23 |
| tgm4883 | *cough* logs *cough* | 16:23 |
| mycosys | oh, mayb not | 16:23 |
| mycosys | as suggested - mythfrontend log and mythbackend log in a pastebin - and WHAT IS IN THE SYSTEM! | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | mycosys, better yet | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | !logs | jsheezy | 16:24 |
| Zinn | jsheezy: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | that utility grabs a lot of logs | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | system logs as well | 16:25 |
| mycosys | lol - the ubuntu way :P | 16:25 |
| mycosys | you guys just make it FAR too easy | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | mycosys, I try :) | 16:26 |
| jsheezy | okay so when I get back into the machine I will grab logs | 16:26 |
| jsheezy | mycosys the system is a mini pc | 16:26 |
| jsheezy | it is the ASUS Eee Box with Atom processor | 16:26 |
| mycosys | i noticed - was flabbergasted how easy it was to go from 0.22pre-jaunty to 0.24fixes-lucid | 16:26 |
| mycosys | which eee box? | 16:27 |
| jsheezy | B206 | 16:27 |
| mycosys | back in the days of redhat 4 the like of that was the stuff of nightmares | 16:27 |
| mycosys | seriously - a single core atom without a separate gpu? please tell me you arent using it as a backend, or trying to play hd files | 16:30 |
| jsheezy | no it's just a front end machine playing avi files | 16:30 |
| jsheezy | i don't use it for anything other than video playback | 16:32 |
| mycosys | definitely wont be able to play HD files (not to be confused with HD display) even on slim profile | 16:32 |
| mycosys | i have a pentium3 in the shed that could keep up with it easily | 16:33 |
| mycosys | anyway - not much can be done without the logs | 16:34 |
| * mycosys does NOT understand the appeal of atom at all | 16:37 | |
| mycosys | not like it is power efficient or useful for more than basic web browsing | 16:37 |
| mycosys | anyway, night | 16:38 |
| jsheezy | i will get those when I get the system back up. I really do appreciate the help. | 16:39 |
