Installation issues / Re: NVIDIA 8600GT

And what he did is not mentioned in that doc.  Just saying "edit a file" doesn't to much good if you don't know what to edit.

I don't understand why you have to be such a dick to everyone out here.

If you'd actually bothered to read that doc, you'll find that there are a lot of suggestions on what to edit.  And if it doesn't address your specific problem then you should have added it, that's how the doc works.

And I don't understand why you have to winge about it while you obviously can't be bothered to contribute something yourself.

Another brilliant post...

Another dumbass with his mouth full of teeth...

Tough guy syndrome on the internet is just compensation for real life.  Think hard this time for your next reply,  if you post enough of them your bound to write something that makes sense.

Installation issues / Re: Really frustrated

Are you installing from 710 B3?

I am using the same video card and didn't have any issues.   Do you get the same results using VGA and DVI?
There is a sticky about the black screen, check that out if you haven't already.

*hmm*  http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Display_Drivers

The suggestions in the doc don't seem to make much difference on the 8000 series cards.

This guy http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=4379.0  seems to have gotten an 8500 GT card working.

I think you forgot to tell us what changes you made to your xorg.conf

I pounded my head against the wall trying to get the 8400gs card working and it gave me all kinds of strange issues.  I ended up using the 7300 instead and had things working minutes later.  You'll save yourself alot of time and frustration if you have the option to switch cards.

I have 710b3 running quite well on an AMD 64, nvidia 7300 using HDHomeRun for TV.

From experience I can say the nvidia 6200 also works great, the 8400 gave me quite a headache and I would stay away from it at this point.

Installation issues / Re: Anybody get DVD install to work for 7.10 beta 3?

« on: February 09, 2008, 08:06:21 am »

You don't need kubuntu installed if your installing off the DVD, it will install it for you, and now overwrite what you've already installed.  The DVD just puts an image on you disk.  Regardless, that's not your problem.  If the DVD won't boot, either check the boot order in your BIOS a(make sure your CD is the first boot device) or your DVD is bad.
I've install 710 B3 off the DVD many times, as have others.

Could you re-post your script please?  The link appears to be broken.  I'm interested in giving this a shot.

To make sure I didn't mess anything up.  I wiped my LMCE box and did a clean install from the DVD (710B3 amd64)
I'm still getting the same results.  I'm no sql expert but it sure looks to be a database permissions issue.  Maybe I should start a new thread on this?

Or maybe your core is running DHCP messing things up.  Also check
web-admin >  Advanced > Network > Settings (I think??)

Make sure you don't have a duplicate IP as it will assign two different IP's by default.

I added the w64codecs for playing wmv files (it seemed to work for that).

I also seem to have a problem with cover art now, I'm suspecting it's related but I don't know where to find an erros on it.  When I go to Files&Media > Cover Art in webmin and select "Scan for Cover".  It returns a blank page, I've let that sit for a day thinking it would just take a while but it shouldn't take that long.  I'm assuming another sql issue?

No luck from the LMCE interface either,  I don't see any error, but I don't see anything at all.  It asks me if I want to run mythfilldatabase,  I say yes and it brings me back to the main screen and that's it.
Not sure where to check for error on that one.

I tried to run it manually again from a console  and now I get this.

gaffney@dcerouter:/var/log/mythtv$ sudo mythfilldatabase

My SQL skill are not good, but maybe this will help (I'm probably not doing this right)

I took a look at the existing mysql dbs by doing this
mysql mysql
SHOW DATABASES;

I see this
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| asterisk           |
| asteriskcdrdb      |
| mysql              |
| mythconverg        |
| pluto_main         |
| pluto_media        |
| pluto_myth         |
| pluto_security     |
| pluto_telecom      |
+--------------------+
10 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I am assuming the mythfilldatabase command is trying to loginto the "pluto_myth" DB.
So I tried this command to manually log into the pluto_myth DB as user mythtv (based on the error).
"mysql -u mythtv -p pluto_myth"

It prompts for a password, I've tried the only password I have and it fails with the same
"Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost"
I've also tried no password.

I no nothing about mysql, but maybe the password for the mythtv user needs to be reset?  But how do I know what it's suppose to be?
Or maybe I'm way off base here....

I'll try it that way when I get home, but since I installed 710B3 everytime I would go in that way and exit it would ask me to if I wanted to run mythfilldatabase, I chose yes and the prompt goes away.  In 704 I could  aways see the script run, but not now.
Don't know if that's just a change from 704 to 710 or a problem,  I'll let you know later tonight.

As for Schedules Direct

Once you login, you will see your "Scheduled Lineups", to the right of your lineup in a maroonish color you'll see "edit" "report" and "Delte".   Selecting Report will give you the table with the XMLid.
