| lunaphyte | hi. i've done a backend installation on one computer, and am doing a frontend installation on another. i'm having trouble figuring out how to point the frontend at the backend. the frontend installation process asks for a security pin, but no hostname. this must be something silly i'm overlooking, but what? | 02:32 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, did you set a security PIN on the backend? | 02:58 |
| lunaphyte | yes, under mythtv backend setup -> general. | 02:59 |
| lunaphyte | i put this pin in the text field on the frontend and click test, and after a few moments it complains about not being able to connect to the database [iirc]. | 03:00 |
| lunaphyte | but i'm wondering how it would know where to find the backend. | 03:00 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, did you run mythbuntu-control-centre on the backend and activate the mythtv service? | 03:01 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, it automatically detects backend machiens on the network | 03:01 |
| lunaphyte | oh, hmm. i thought mythbuntu control centre was only for frontend computers. | 03:03 |
| lunaphyte | i'm trying it just now, and the remote connectivity test is failing. | 03:03 |
| tgm4883 | On the services tab did you enable the mythtv service? | 03:05 |
| lunaphyte | i see ssh, samba, nfs, and vnc [those are enabled aside from vnc], but no mythtv service - here is what is listening: http://pastebin.com/Crt50EtH | 03:07 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] apache2 1195 root 3u IPv4 8087 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN) apache - Pastebin.com | 03:07 |
| tgm4883 | that is from your mythtv master backend machine? | 03:10 |
| lunaphyte | yes | 03:10 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 03:13 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, sorry its' on the mysql tab | 03:15 |
| lunaphyte | oh, ok. here's my mysql tab: http://oi43.tinypic.com/9ss7pt.jpg | 03:17 |
| Zinn | [oi43.tinypic.com] N/A | 03:17 |
| lunaphyte | that's where i did the test connection that didn't work | 03:18 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, ok, you didn't set the pin to 0000 did you? | 03:18 |
| lunaphyte | i didn't. it's 5891 | 03:18 |
| tgm4883 | ok, and you hit apply after you turned on the mysql service? | 03:19 |
| lunaphyte | err, 5819, rather | 03:19 |

| lunaphyte | i believe so, yes. i'll try disabling it and then re-enabling it. | 03:21 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 03:21 |
| lunaphyte | after disabling it, i see in the output of lsof: mysqld 5773 mysql 10u IPv4 27275 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3306 (LISTEN) | 03:23 |
| lunaphyte | and after re-enabling it, i see: mysqld 5984 mysql 10u IPv4 28121 0t0 TCP *:3306 (LISTEN) | 03:23 |
| tgm4883 | lunaphyte, that looks better | 03:23 |
| lunaphyte | mysql was *:3306 in my earlier pastebin too though. | 03:24 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, so it was | 03:24 |
| lunaphyte | the test connection still fails. | 03:25 |
| lunaphyte | maybe i'll try 0000 | 03:25 |
| tgm4883 | the backend is still running and listening for connections? | 03:25 |
| lunaphyte | i believe so, yes: http://pastebin.com/heaJsxbg | 03:28 |
| Zinn | [pastebin.com] # lsof -nPi | grep -iF myth mythbacke 6226 mythtv 7u IPv4 29137 0 - Pastebin.com | 03:28 |
| lunaphyte | let me see if i can connect from another host with telnet | 03:28 |
| lunaphyte | yes, i can connect to both ports from another computer | 03:29 |
| lunaphyte | open the socket, anyway. | 03:29 |
| tgm4883 | hmm ok | 03:29 |
| tgm4883 | what happens when you start mythfrontend | 03:29 |
| lunaphyte | on the backend? | 03:29 |
| tgm4883 | if you have one on the backend, yes | 03:30 |
| tgm4883 | if not, then on the other machine | 03:30 |
| lunaphyte | i have it only on the other computer at the moment. one moment, i'll try. | 03:30 |
| lunaphyte | oh - that's what it was. on the frontend, i was still in the installation phase. it was asking for a pin, and when i supplied the pin and clicked test connection, it said "could not find database login credentials", and would not allow me to click continue. | 03:32 |
| lunaphyte | however, trying again just now, it still complained with the same error, but it allowed to me click continue anyway | 03:32 |
| tgm4883 | ah ok | 03:33 |
| lunaphyte | what protocol/method is used to automatically detect backend computers? | 03:34 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC it's AVAHI | 03:35 |
| lunaphyte | oh, mdns and zeroconf, etc? | 03:41 |
| tgm4883 | yea | 03:43 |

| sharkmonkey | How do I shutdown? | 19:57 |
| superm1 | sharkmonkey: in mythtv? | 20:03 |
| superm1 | hit esc from the frontend and pick shutdown | 20:03 |
| superm1 | (or if on a remote, back or stop == esc) | 20:03 |
| sharkmonkey | From the window manager/desktop environment | 20:04 |
| sharkmonkey | Not seeing a shutdown option | 20:05 |
| sharkmonkey | Ok, found logout. And that brought up an option to shutdown | 20:06 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo halt from a terminal works as well | 20:24 |
| sharkmonkey | rhpot1991: Not without a keyboard. :/ | 20:29 |
| dekarl | ssh in and "sudo shutdown now" | 20:30 |
| dekarl | oh, I got a good one "push the power button" works well, too ;) | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | ssh++ | 20:33 |
| rhpot1991 | theoretically you can use the onscreen keyboard if you really feel like doing that to yourself too | 20:33 |
| sharkmonkey | I did actually try the power button :). No reaction. I could hold it down, but that wouldn't be a clean shutdown. Might as well pull the cord at that point. | 20:39 |
| dekarl | sharkmonkey: oh, my diskless mythbuntu frontend cleanly shuts down as soon a I gently hit the button | 20:41 |
| dekarl | have you got a /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh? or does the end of dmesg give any hint? | 20:45 |
| superm1 | yeah it's supposed to react to the ACPI event of hitting the button, that's a bit weird | 20:54 |
| dekarl | seems like the shutdown is not executed if any power management daemon is found running | 20:55 |
| dekarl | so that these can take over (and offer stuff like "want to safe your work?") | 20:56 |
| superm1 | well there isn't one seeded in 11.10 | 21:01 |
| superm1 | hmm | 21:01 |
| superm1 | but if someone has like gnome-power-manager installed on their own accord, i suppose that would happen | 21:01 |
