[04:43] I figured it out :) [07:04] 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 === peterpops_ is now known as peterpops [16:24] anyone awake? [16:24] having problems rebuilding a system, its complaining that /var/lib/mythtv/..... doesnt exist and im not sur why. maybe permissions? [16:25] /var/lib/mythtv is a symlink to /data/mythtv [16:25] TandyUK, the backend is? [16:25] permissions on /data/mythtv is 755 owned by mythtv:mythtv [16:25] this is the backend [16:25] sorry, let me clarify [16:26] mythtv-setup is complaining? [16:26] tryng play a file the frontend moans cant find file, should be local [16:26] yeah [16:26] what is the permissions for /data [16:26] what ownership and permissions do i need on the files? [16:26] the mythbuntu syetm i created user michael [16:26] mythtv:mythtv should be fine [16:26] ls -l / | grep data [16:26] /data is owned by michael:users [16:27] /data/mythtv is owned by mythtv:mythtv [16:27] yes, but what permissions do others have? [16:27] nothing [16:27] to my knowledge [16:27] well there is your issue it seems [16:27] 755 is the permissions on every file [16:28] so whould be read access to all [16:28] TandyUK, what are the full permissions to the /data dir? [16:28] drwxr-xr-x 30 michael users 4096 Nov 29 15:24 data [16:30] that seems fine to me [16:30] or what are you expecting me to say? [16:30] that was correct [16:30] and what I expected :) [16:30] hmm [16:30] just rebooting it [16:30] ok [16:30] after chmod -R 755 /data [16:31] so that should sort any lol [16:31] so another thing to try, is logging in as the mythtv user and seeing if you can get to that directory [16:31] had fun getting my adapters on the right /dev/deb/frontendX numbers [16:31] yeah i did that and was able to browse and ls etc [16:31] TandyUK, mine is setup pretty similar, I have /srv/mythtv, and /srv/mythtv symlinks to /mnt/mythtv (which is a NFS mount) [16:31] the only difference, is I don't symlink it to /var/lib/mythtv [16:32] I just altered the storage groups to point to /srv/mythtv/ [16:32] ahha [16:33] must have been permissions [16:33] and I've been running this sort of setup since about when storage groups were added [16:33] and something cached somewhere, because post reboot i have tv :) [16:33] now to get the other frontend connected... [16:34] oh btw, the reason i symlinked /var/lib/mythtv is so that everything, including future stuff got put on my raid array [16:34] which is lucky as its the only reason i have a db backup after my os drive died [16:34] thats now on a raid1 array too ;) [16:34] nice [16:35] I've got an external NAS box that houses all my mythtv stuff, which is where the NFS mount comes from [16:37] yeah i could probably do with that [16:37] this backend id rather heavy now with 5x 2tb drives, 2x1tb, 2 tuners, 2 raid cards and gfx card [16:37] its my main samba share too [16:38] the only thing id change it for is a nas tbh [16:38] but might wait for some 2nd hand multipath iscsi kit is available :P [16:38] give it 2-3 years and some of my customers will be replacing stuff and therefore need old kit 'recycled' :) [16:41] hmm frontend cant connect to mysql on backend [16:42] i updated the password in /home/michael/.mythtv/mysql.txt [16:42] and opened the fw port on the backend [16:42] anything else i missed? [16:53] ah default is to listen on 127.0.0.1 in my.cnf now [16:53] TandyUK, the backend probably isn't listening on your private IP address [16:53] and frontend is working nice [16:53] it's always been the default [16:53] im from centos :P [16:53] it hasnt been :P [16:54] centos default is to skip-networking [17:00] grr frontend getting no lock errors [17:02] Nov 30 17:02:00 myth-bedroom mythbackend[2616]: E TVRecEvent dvbchannel.cpp:1103 (GetUncorrectedBlockCount) DVBChan(7:/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0): Getting Frontend uncorrected block count failed.#012#011#011#011eno: Operation not supported (95) [17:02] Nov 30 17:02:00 myth-bedroom mythbackend[2616]: W TVRecEvent dvbsignalmonitor.cpp:91 (DVBSignalMonitor) DVBSM(/dev/dvb/adapter3/frontend0): Cannot count Uncorrected Blocks#012#011#011#011eno: Operation not supported (95) [17:02] any ideas? [17:02] sorry, not seen that one. I'd ask in #mythtv-users [17:25] basically the dvb-s2 card isnt tuning properly [17:26] theyre so helpful in there [18:13] quick question....the http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb link seems to be broken...any ideas? [18:14] qwebirc12946, that would be true [18:14] let me think about that for a minute [18:14] qwebirc12946, what release are you on? [18:14] 11.10...yes I know it's old but I'm still waiting for nvidia-96 drivers to be released [18:15] qwebirc12946, let me move that to the new server [18:16] cool...thanks [18:21] qwebirc12946, can you refresh and try again? [18:22] maybe I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't work in a web browser or with wget [18:23] what is the link it's trying to download from? [18:23] because I fixed the link [18:23] the new link should be https://sites.google.com/a/mythbuntu.org/website/repos/mythbuntu-repos.deb [18:23] [sites.google.com] N/A [18:23] oh....I used the same one....let me check the link on the webpage [18:24] qwebirc12946, yea we moved to a new service, so that only link is invalid [18:24] It works...thanks [18:28] qwebirc12946, yw, thanks for letting me know it was broke [18:28] np [18:34] tgm4883: may i suggest setting up a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite to redirect the requests [18:35] google wont index the 301 urls,but that will make it update them to the correct new ones [18:35] TandyUK, there shouldn't be a need to. The link on the page was wrong [18:35] ah i see# [18:36] it was a missed fix on a c&p job from me :) [18:36] lol
