| sabhain | sometimes I honestly want to throw this stuff through a wall. | 02:38 |
|---|---|---|
| sabhain | I get so close to being set and done .. and then everything goes up in smoke. | 02:49 |
| sabhain | no wonder I don't ever want to upgrade these things. | 02:49 |
| sabhain | one day I'm gonna write up a how-to for adding a slave back end to an existing / stable mythbuntu setup without nuking the existing functionality, cause best I can tell, it's not been done before (the documenting). | 03:48 |
| sabhain | It really is a spectacular feat of my admin skills when I can't even run mythtv-setup because it can't find the database the same machine. | 04:04 |

| rhpot1991 | sabhain: can't say I share the same experience | 14:12 |
| rhpot1991 | I did have an issue adding a slave backend recently where it was constantly disconnecting, I can't recall what the issue was though | 14:12 |
| sabhain | rhpot1991: I'm starting to focus on hostname resolution. I had the tuner (HDPVR driving a STB) working on the slave backend when it was setup as a standalone system. | 14:18 |
| sabhain | I followed what I thought were the right steps in shutting down the local backend and making it a slave. | 14:18 |
| sabhain | It showed up on the master backend, but with {ERROR} in the tuner status list. | 14:19 |
| sabhain | so the slave machine is "DFE" .. and in the master back end, it showed the tuner as "/dev/video0 on DFE". | 14:19 |
| sabhain | I typically use DHCP leases in my dd-wrt to set the machine IP's .. I never tinker with /etc/hosts | 14:20 |
| sabhain | just hard code things to the IP's. | 14:20 |
| sabhain | so I was starting to think it was a host name resolve or something, and then all of a sudden the back end started auto-expiring all my recordings and deleting them. | 14:21 |
| sabhain | turns out, i'm an idiot and hadn't fully killed the mysql on the slave. After a restart, it fired up, and I think there was competing backends or something. The slave backend calculated its space (which isn't big) and started blowing things away. | 14:22 |
| sabhain | I have a backup, but things cascaded from there. | 14:22 |
| rhpot1991 | sabhain: I would have ported everything to the new master first, then did a bit of a fresh install on the old | 14:23 |
| sabhain | rhpot1991: the master hasn't changed, but for an upgrade to 12.04 from 10.04 and some new storage. That stuff went well. | 14:25 |
| sabhain | rhpot1991: you suggesting I just do a clean install on the slave, rather than trying to move it from being a master to a slave? | 14:25 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm confused, did you have 2 masters? | 14:25 |
| rhpot1991 | I assumed you built a new master and wanted to make your old master a slave | 14:25 |

| sabhain | rhpot1991: I had 2 masters, only because I added an HD-PVR to one of my existing FE's and took it away from the rest of the system as a standalone FE/BE to test out the stability and workability of the HD-PVR | 14:49 |
| sabhain | my master is the same master as always, but has recently been upgraded to 12.04 | 14:49 |
| sabhain | and now one of my FE's I want to have work as a FE/SBE. | 14:50 |
| sabhain | for a brief time the FE/SBE was separated from the main master and operating as a standalone FE/BE | 14:50 |
| TandyUK | did anyone see my questin last night | 14:57 |
| TandyUK | how a ehome infrared transciever seems to have mysteriously changed hardware ID | 14:57 |

| sabhain | rhpot1991: is there any reason I should be using a mythbuntu specific install rather than the ubuntu mini iso and then package selecting from there? | 16:37 |
| rhpot1991 | sabhain: nope both should work just fine | 16:44 |
| rhpot1991 | TandyUK: kernel upgrade? | 16:44 |
| TandyUK | i uspect so yeag | 16:46 |
| TandyUK | urg typos | 16:46 |
| TandyUK | i tried both methods in the link i posted, but neith has made any difference | 16:47 |
| TandyUK | but im 99.99% certain both machine used to show the reciever with the same hardware id | 16:47 |
