[09:02] <hR13> hi I have a question about db restore. I have just installed 1404 mythbuntu and restored my old db from my previos 10.04.3 installatin, I used this command "./mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --directory /home/myth/MythTVDB.Backup/ --filename mythconverg-1264-20140517095458.sql.gz" do I need to do anything more before I start mythbackend ?
[17:38] <patrickskillin> Good morning all
[17:39] <patrickskillin> I'm having a permision problem on a mythbuntu VM
[17:39] <patrickskillin> I'm trying to mount a cifs share from a mac server and I cannot get the mythtv backend to write to the mounted directory
[17:39] <patrickskillin> any ideas?
[17:57] <Jay2k1> can you be a bit more specific about "cannot get the backend to write there"?
[17:57] <Jay2k1> i.e. error messages? something in the logs?
[17:57] <patrickskillin> sure I mount a shared direcotry
[17:57] <patrickskillin> then I've checked permision and its mythtv mythv
[17:58] <Jay2k1> can you write there from the command line?
[17:58] <Jay2k1> i.e. sudo -u mythtv touch /path/to/your/share/test.file
[17:58] <patrickskillin> but when I configure the backend and set /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/TV as the default directory
[17:58] <patrickskillin> it tells me it can not write the .test file
[17:59] <patrickskillin> let me try that
[18:00] <patrickskillin> that works
[18:00] <Jay2k1> that is strange
[18:02] <Jay2k1> is there anything related to that in the mythbackend logfile?
[18:03] <patrickskillin> yes it cann't write to the directory
[18:04] <Jay2k1> hmm, next thing i'd try would be mounting it somewhere else
[18:04] <Jay2k1> i.e. mkdir /cifstest and mount it there
[18:05] <Jay2k1> then try to set that as a path
[18:06] <patrickskillin> i've tried mounting is a few different places same results
[18:06] <patrickskillin> let me look at the permisions again
[18:07] <Jay2k1> what confuses me the most is that via command line it works fine
[18:07] <patrickskillin> drwxr-xr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 0 May 17 12:59 TV
[18:08] <patrickskillin> there is the results from ls -l
[18:08] <Jay2k1> well that looks correct... to completely rule out a (file system) permissions issue you could chmod a+w it
[18:08] <patrickskillin> ok
[18:08] <patrickskillin> let me try that
[18:08] <Jay2k1> but i'm afraid that won't help...
[18:09] <patrickskillin> ok
[18:34] <patrickskillin> interesting, appears to be working now after a reboot
