[12:41] <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
[12:42] <qwebirc15363> the cd dose work on other computer.
[12:42] <mycoDA> prolly something to ask in #ubuntu i am guesin
[12:43] <qwebirc15363> am i in the wrong place!!
[12:44] <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
[12:48] <qwebirc15363> okay thank you for the info.
[16:14] <jsheezy> I am using Mythbuntu 10.10 and keep having lockups and crashes. Is this a known issue and is there a fix?
[16:15] <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
[16:16] <mycosys> jsheezy - lockups and crashes in what while doing what on what sort of system is a good starting point, in other words
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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
[16:19] <mycoserve> WHAT did you install
[16:22] <tgm4883> That question just irritates me
[16:22] <mycosys> i crash - is there a fix?
[16:22] <tgm4883> yes
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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.
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <mycosys> i have a pentium3 in the shed that could keep up with it easily
[16:34] <mycosys> anyway - not much can be done without the logs
[16:37]  * 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
[16:38] <mycosys> anyway, night
[16:39] <jsheezy> i will get those when I get the system back up. I really do appreciate the help.
