[12:44] <shiggitay> hi all... I have a question...
[12:44] <shiggitay> I'd like to install Mythbuntu onto a computer that's currently a Hackintosh...
[12:45] <shiggitay> ...and its MythTV install is sorta screwed up... I do have my sql database backed up though...
[12:46] <shiggitay> my question is, under OS X I have my storage drives labeled a certain way... What are the ...consequences? of them not being named the same as they were when the DB was running previously?
[12:46] <shiggitay> and how would I restore my DB properly on the newly installed MythBuntu?
[12:47] <shiggitay> I hope I'm making sense to someone here
[16:51] <tgm4883> shiggitay: There isn't an issue with how the drives are named
[16:51] <tgm4883> shiggitay: with the way storage groups work, only a few things matter regarding that
[16:52] <tgm4883> A) They need to be on a machine with the same hostname that they were on. This isn't 100% necessary, but would require an extra step during restore
[16:55] <tgm4883> 2) They need to be at the same relative path. What I mean is that if your old install had the recordings group at /srv/mythtv/recordings/ and your new install has it at /new/place/for/recordings/ that will work fine as long as the recordings are in those directories and not in any subdirectories below that. You will need to run mythtv-setup though and point
[16:55] <tgm4883> the storage group at the correct place
[16:55] <tgm4883> III) You would restore the database with the mythtv datbase backup and restore scripts
[17:31] <shiggitay> tgm4883, thanks, but I was able to restore and get back up to speed with my original setup :)

[21:22] <pkuyken> What would cause my mythbuntu system to blank the screen after a while but not respond to keyboard, mouse, or remote?
[21:22] <pkuyken> I know the system is still responsive, as I can switch to a different virtual console and kill the front end, then restart it. I just wish I didn't have to do that.
[21:23] <tgm4883> pkuyken: how are you killing the frontend
[21:24] <pkuyken> kill -9, as a last resort :(
[21:24] <pkuyken> ps aux |grep front then find the front end and kill it.
[21:25] <pkuyken> needless to say, this way is not acceptable to my non-technical wife. :)
[21:30] <pkuyken> The other issue I'm having is getting the remote to work.
