| TandyUK | anyone awake? | 16:24 |
| TandyUK | having problems rebuilding a system, its complaining that /var/lib/mythtv/..... doesnt exist and im not sur why. maybe permissions? | 16:24 |
| TandyUK | /var/lib/mythtv is a symlink to /data/mythtv | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, the backend is? | 16:25 |
| TandyUK | permissions on /data/mythtv is 755 owned by mythtv:mythtv | 16:25 |
| TandyUK | this is the backend | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | sorry, let me clarify | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | mythtv-setup is complaining? | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | tryng play a file the frontend moans cant find file, should be local | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | yeah | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | what is the permissions for /data | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | what ownership and permissions do i need on the files? | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | the mythbuntu syetm i created user michael | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | mythtv:mythtv should be fine | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | ls -l / | grep data | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | /data is owned by michael:users | 16:26 |
| TandyUK | /data/mythtv is owned by mythtv:mythtv | 16:27 |
| tgm4883 | yes, but what permissions do others have? | 16:27 |
| TandyUK | nothing | 16:27 |
| TandyUK | to my knowledge | 16:27 |
| tgm4883 | well there is your issue it seems | 16:27 |
| TandyUK | 755 is the permissions on every file | 16:27 |
| TandyUK | so whould be read access to all | 16:28 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, what are the full permissions to the /data dir? | 16:28 |
| TandyUK | drwxr-xr-x 30 michael users 4096 Nov 29 15:24 data | 16:28 |
| tgm4883 | that seems fine to me | 16:30 |
| TandyUK | or what are you expecting me to say? | 16:30 |
| tgm4883 | that was correct | 16:30 |
| tgm4883 | and what I expected :) | 16:30 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 16:30 |
| TandyUK | just rebooting it | 16:30 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 16:30 |
| TandyUK | after chmod -R 755 /data | 16:30 |
| TandyUK | so that should sort any lol | 16:31 |
| tgm4883 | so another thing to try, is logging in as the mythtv user and seeing if you can get to that directory | 16:31 |
| TandyUK | had fun getting my adapters on the right /dev/deb/frontendX numbers | 16:31 |
| TandyUK | yeah i did that and was able to browse and ls etc | 16:31 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, mine is setup pretty similar, I have /srv/mythtv, and /srv/mythtv symlinks to /mnt/mythtv (which is a NFS mount) | 16:31 |
| tgm4883 | the only difference, is I don't symlink it to /var/lib/mythtv | 16:31 |
| tgm4883 | I just altered the storage groups to point to /srv/mythtv/<storagegroup> | 16:32 |
| TandyUK | ahha | 16:32 |
| TandyUK | must have been permissions | 16:33 |
| tgm4883 | and I've been running this sort of setup since about when storage groups were added | 16:33 |
| TandyUK | and something cached somewhere, because post reboot i have tv :) | 16:33 |
| TandyUK | now to get the other frontend connected... | 16:33 |
| TandyUK | oh btw, the reason i symlinked /var/lib/mythtv is so that everything, including future stuff got put on my raid array | 16:34 |
| TandyUK | which is lucky as its the only reason i have a db backup after my os drive died | 16:34 |
| TandyUK | thats now on a raid1 array too ;) | 16:34 |
| tgm4883 | nice | 16:34 |
| tgm4883 | I've got an external NAS box that houses all my mythtv stuff, which is where the NFS mount comes from | 16:35 |
| TandyUK | yeah i could probably do with that | 16:37 |
| TandyUK | this backend id rather heavy now with 5x 2tb drives, 2x1tb, 2 tuners, 2 raid cards and gfx card | 16:37 |
| TandyUK | its my main samba share too | 16:37 |
| TandyUK | the only thing id change it for is a nas tbh | 16:38 |
| TandyUK | but might wait for some 2nd hand multipath iscsi kit is available :P | 16:38 |
| TandyUK | give it 2-3 years and some of my customers will be replacing stuff and therefore need old kit 'recycled' :) | 16:38 |
| TandyUK | hmm frontend cant connect to mysql on backend | 16:41 |
| TandyUK | i updated the password in /home/michael/.mythtv/mysql.txt | 16:42 |
| TandyUK | and opened the fw port on the backend | 16:42 |
| TandyUK | anything else i missed? | 16:42 |
| TandyUK | ah default is to listen on 127.0.0.1 in my.cnf now | 16:53 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, the backend probably isn't listening on your private IP address | 16:53 |
| TandyUK | and frontend is working nice | 16:53 |
| tgm4883 | it's always been the default | 16:53 |
| TandyUK | im from centos :P | 16:53 |
| TandyUK | it hasnt been :P | 16:53 |
| TandyUK | centos default is to skip-networking | 16:54 |
| TandyUK | grr frontend getting no lock errors | 17:00 |

| TandyUK | any ideas? | 17:02 |
| tgm4883 | sorry, not seen that one. I'd ask in #mythtv-users | 17:02 |
| TandyUK | basically the dvb-s2 card isnt tuning properly | 17:25 |
| TandyUK | theyre so helpful in there | 17:26 |
| qwebirc12946 | quick question....the http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb link seems to be broken...any ideas? | 18:13 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, that would be true | 18:14 |
| tgm4883 | let me think about that for a minute | 18:14 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, what release are you on? | 18:14 |
| qwebirc12946 | 11.10...yes I know it's old but I'm still waiting for nvidia-96 drivers to be released | 18:14 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, let me move that to the new server | 18:15 |
| qwebirc12946 | cool...thanks | 18:16 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, can you refresh and try again? | 18:21 |
| qwebirc12946 | maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't work in a web browser or with wget | 18:22 |
| tgm4883 | what is the link it's trying to download from? | 18:23 |
| tgm4883 | because I fixed the link | 18:23 |
| tgm4883 | the new link should be https://sites.google.com/a/mythbuntu.org/website/repos/mythbuntu-repos.deb | 18:23 |
| Zinn | [sites.google.com] N/A | 18:23 |
| qwebirc12946 | oh....I used the same one....let me check the link on the webpage | 18:23 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, yea we moved to a new service, so that only link is invalid | 18:24 |
| qwebirc12946 | It works...thanks | 18:24 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc12946, yw, thanks for letting me know it was broke | 18:28 |
| qwebirc12946 | np | 18:28 |
| TandyUK | tgm4883: may i suggest setting up a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite to redirect the requests | 18:34 |
| TandyUK | google wont index the 301 urls,but that will make it update them to the correct new ones | 18:35 |
| tgm4883 | TandyUK, there shouldn't be a need to. The link on the page was wrong | 18:35 |
| TandyUK | ah i see# | 18:35 |
| tgm4883 | it was a missed fix on a c&p job from me :) | 18:36 |
| TandyUK | lol | 18:36 |
