Thank in advanced for the help00:37
murdocI need help getting my Xserver back. when Upgrading from 10.10 to 12. which I upgraded to both 11s along the way, I lost the Xserver, The system wont boot to X, it seems to hang, but you can get a terminal and then try to startX, you'll see the Nvidia flash screen and then thats it, it will go back to term, the Xlog says that the Xserver is busy could it still be hung on the boot? Root or sudo can start X. I had it working for a day until17:08
murdocupdate broke it again. the issue was ownership of .X authority but that fix no longer works. The only error I can find is in Xlog that just says X is busy but I don't know if im looking in all the right places. Any guesses?17:08
murdocanother thing, possibly related, durring boot it might be hung on starting the mySQL server, because when I start under root, myth control center I get an error message Exception in capture State of plugin MySQl disabling plugin.17:11
tgm4883msyql not starting isn't going to stop X from starting17:12
tgm4883it's possible you have the lightdm/gdm issue17:13
tgm4883let me see if I can find that thread17:13
murdoctgm4883: thanks17:14
murdocI can get lightdm started but it won't start x17:15
tgm4883how do you get lightdm started if you can't start X?17:15
murdocI can't find the output of what is happening behind the sceen17:15
tgm4883lightdm should depend on X17:15
murdocfair enough, I might be describing the problem wrong, but17:16
murdocI can get lightdm started, when I try to login it accepts the pw and then tries to start, monitor cycles from on to power save then back to the login screen17:17
tgm4883ah17:17
murdocif I try to startx from the terminal it fails,17:17
tgm4883so X is crashing17:17
murdocok17:17

murdocI don't remember, let me look again.17:18
tgm4883murdoc, is this Mythbuntu or Ubuntu?17:18
murdocmythbuntu17:19
tgm4883murdoc, what is the output of 'dpkg -l unity-greeter lightdm'17:19
murdocokay i'll get that in a second,17:24

tgm4883murdoc, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11358168&postcount=1617:28
Zinn[ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - Mythbuntu 11.10 upgrade issues17:28
murdocwhen I try to start x it says in the term that it is waiting and then keeps repeating no protocol specified17:28
murdocwill do17:28
murdocwould pa_contextCoonect() failed: connection refused mean anything"17:30
tgm4883murdoc, probably not, looks like pulseaudio maybe17:35
murdocoh, yeah17:38
murdocright17:38
murdocalright wrote the new lightdm.conf, reboots17:44
murdocstill booting...17:47
murdoctgm4883: if you're still here, first, thanks, second, it still hangs on the boot, at stopping read required files in advance, it says OK. thats it. then I start lightdm and it tries to autologin to my myth, but it flashes the nvidia splashcreen then power save cycle, then nothing then back to staring at the boot up service screen17:59
murdocokay wait.17:59
murdocwent back to the terminal that I launched lightdm and found the .xauthorty permissions issue17:59
murdocokay yep didn't fix it.18:00
tgm4883murdoc, ok, so how about this18:01
tgm4883murdoc, backup your xorg.conf file18:01
tgm4883sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf18:02
tgm4883the try starting X18:02
murdocokay shoot.18:03
murdocI kept going back and looking at the term18:03
murdocafter the .xauthority issue then it was an .Iceauthorty isse18:03
murdocissue,18:03
murdocremove it and now I'm in X18:04
tgm4883murdoc, so it's working now?18:04
murdocwell yes, I'm guessing unitl the next reboot. ;)18:05
tgm4883hmm18:06
tgm4883lets find out18:06
murdocyou're a braver man than I ;) alright, lets see18:06
tgm4883murdoc, well if we test now, we know that all you did was fix the permissions and login, and since you didn't do anything after logging in if the issue returns is something that is happening during boot18:07
tgm4883or possibly logout18:07
murdocright, right,18:07
murdocrebooting18:07
tgm4883so if it happens again, then fix the permissions, logout, then try logging in again18:08
tgm4883then we know if it's logout or boot18:08
murdocgotit18:08
murdocim gmae18:08
murdocgame18:08
murdocfirst, this isn't a slow system i have, its only after the upgrade that booting takes so long, but when it takes so long durring the boot to get past the system V and stopping  read ahead, should i wait, which it will never get past, (overnight), but should I just goto tty 1?18:11
murdocalright, switched to tty1 and started lightdm, we're in the mythfrontend18:13
tgm4883murdoc, ok, so it's just not autostarting correctly it sounds like?18:18
tgm4883you didn't need to fix the permissions?18:18
murdocno I didn't18:18
tgm4883ok18:19
murdocthanks so much for your help18:19

qwebirc21547hello, i just installed my backend on my 10.04 ubuntu server. i have a front end pc i am tring to connect to the server. i keep getting the error i cannot log-in. i have verfied the IP for the server the port and the SQL username and password. i have also diabled ufw for the time to see if that was blocking the port. im not sure what to try next, thank you for the help23:32
tgm4883qwebirc21547, is your 10.04 backend have a GUI?23:37
qwebirc21547yes23:40
tgm4883can you verify that in the mythbuntu control centre you have activated the mythtv service?23:41
qwebirc21547sorry i am very new to mythtv, im in the control center. where do i go to verify?23:42
tgm4883I think it's the MySQL tab23:44
tgm4883not completely sure23:44
tgm4883could be the Services tab23:44
qwebirc21547ya it says "MySQL service on ethernet devices" that is enabled23:45
tgm4883ok, where is it telling you that you can't login23:46
qwebirc21547on the frontend pc. i put in the correct ip for the backend server. i put in the username and pass for sql (looked at the config.txt file to verify this on the server)23:47
qwebirc21547i can ping the server address just fine23:48
tgm4883ok23:48
tgm4883on your backend, in mythtv-setup, what are you using for your IP address?23:48
qwebirc21547192.168.2.8023:49
tgm4883ok23:49
tgm4883on your frontend, open up a terminal23:49
tgm4883mysql -h 192.168.2.80 -u mythtv -p mythconverg23:49
tgm4883do that23:49
tgm4883and when it prompts for a password, use the one from the config.txt file23:50
qwebirc21547ok one sec23:50
qwebirc21547ok when i did that it gives me an error 1045 access denied.. the config file for the password (on the server) im looking at is in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt, is that right location for the username and pass?23:55
tgm4883yes23:56
tgm4883ok, do this23:57
tgm4883on the backend, open a terminal and do23:57
tgm4883mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg23:57
tgm4883use the same password you just used23:57
qwebirc21547ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)23:58
qwebirc21547:(23:58
tgm4883hmm ok23:58
tgm4883so lets reset that password23:59
tgm4883!mysql | qwebirc2154723:59
Zinnqwebirc21547: If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, perform the following to reconfigure it: [1] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it later)  [2] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [3] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common23:59
