| fluvvell | superm1, mrand and anyone else listening to my ramblings - I added a user via the tty console, and was able to log in with that. The ubuntu user will NOT let me log in (apart from via tty) | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| fluvvell | but only after adding the user to a group called nopasswdlogin | 00:17 |
| fluvvell | now I'm in, there is no way of configuring the network. Honestly, was this disk ever tested??? | 00:17 |
| superm1 | fluvvell: when safe graphics mode kicks in (X server crashing) all bets are off on how things work | 00:46 |
| superm1 | unfortunately | 00:46 |
| superm1 | but it sounds like you are hitting more problems than most people would when this would happen | 00:46 |
| superm1 | on the disk, at the boot menu, have you tried to just pick "Install Mythbuntu"? It boots to a special X session that if the standard driver can't handle your hardware will fall back to VESA to let you install | 00:47 |
| superm1 | usually that works for most people who hit issues | 00:47 |
| superm1 | it does sound like you must have some fairly modern hardware if X is crashing and you can't seem to connect to the network at all | 00:53 |
| fluvvell | superm1, I don't actually want to install, just boot and test some hardware. I can get into an x session with all the mucking around I've done but still it seems broken, no access to Network tools on the desktop. I need this to work to support a myth user who is 240Km away from me whose new card doesn't work properly in his 20.04 myth install | 00:58 |
| fluvvell | sorry 10.04 | 00:59 |
| fluvvell | I have dual core AMD hardware and Nvidia 9600GT graphics card, its only a couple of years old | 01:00 |
| rhpot1991 | 9600 should work just fine | 01:42 |
| rhpot1991 | thats what I have | 01:42 |
| rhpot1991 | fluvvell: try the "install" option just to see if it goes through | 01:42 |
| rhpot1991 | also if he upgrades its a bit of a different process than what you are testing | 01:43 |
| fluvvell | rhpot1991, yeah nothing wrong with hardware. I would but thats not the point, I am trying to solve an issue with a running 10.04 install that had a Tiivii 420 card added that did not show up. Our card supplier said "try booting with a newer distro to see if it detects it correctly" | 01:44 |
| fluvvell | unfortunately the machine is about 240Km away from me, I support by remote connection. But not with a live cd, with out a few tweaks and with this live cd? Yeah I'm in a bind | 01:44 |
| fluvvell | yeah its a different process, I agree. But if the upgrade goes wrong | 01:45 |
| fluvvell | Oh I'm repeating myself all over sorry. | 01:46 |
| rhpot1991 | fluvvell: yep remote is hardthat way | 01:50 |
| rhpot1991 | upgrade over ssh and hope | 01:50 |
| fluvvell | That is of course an option, I have done that a number of times. The plan was to test the card, then if it works on the newer os and kernel, do the upgrade. I might just try a different live myth disk | 01:52 |
| fluvvell | Does anyone feel like downloading the cd and test booting it somewhere? | 01:52 |
| dkam | hi guys - at some point my mythbuntu box stopped automatically starting X and mythfrontend - now I'm trying to get it going again. Is the fronted normally run by the mythtv user? | 12:01 |
| dkam | Huh - thanks to the link to the forums, autologin now works, but mythfrontend isn't starting. | 12:09 |
| dkam | Looks like lightdm isn't starting mythfrontend - any tips? | 12:17 |
| dkam | sshing in and "export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; mythfrontend &" does the job - but how do I get mythfrontend to start by itself? | 12:33 |
