[04:43] <wangel> I figured it out :)
[07:04] <qwebirc49360> Hi there, quick question re: setting up back end and tuner card selection....  is it helpful to get a tuner card that does onboard mpeg2 conversion?  TIA
[16:24] <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?
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <tgm4883> I just altered the storage groups to point to /srv/mythtv/<storagegroup>
[16:32] <TandyUK> ahha
[16:33] <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...
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <tgm4883> I've got an external NAS box that houses all my mythtv stuff, which is where the NFS mount comes from
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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' :)
[16:41] <TandyUK> hmm frontend cant connect to mysql on backend
[16:42] <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?
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <TandyUK> centos default is to skip-networking
[17:00] <TandyUK> grr frontend getting no lock errors

[17:02] <TandyUK> any ideas?
[17:02] <tgm4883> sorry, not seen that one. I'd ask in #mythtv-users
[17:25] <TandyUK> basically the dvb-s2 card isnt tuning properly
[17:26] <TandyUK> theyre so helpful in there
[18:13] <qwebirc12946> quick question....the http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb link seems to be broken...any ideas?
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <tgm4883> qwebirc12946, let me move that to the new server
[18:16] <qwebirc12946> cool...thanks
[18:21] <tgm4883> qwebirc12946, can you refresh and try again?
[18:22] <qwebirc12946> maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't work in a web browser or with wget
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <tgm4883> qwebirc12946, yea we moved to a new service, so that only link is invalid
[18:24] <qwebirc12946> It works...thanks
[18:28] <tgm4883> qwebirc12946, yw, thanks for letting me know it was broke
[18:28] <qwebirc12946> np
[18:34] <TandyUK> tgm4883: may i suggest setting up a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite to redirect the requests
[18:35] <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#
[18:36] <tgm4883> it was a missed fix on a c&p job from me :)
[18:36] <TandyUK> lol
