In mount-wrapper.log are some entries with exit status 1, don't know if these effect the above?
Will further investigate the content of /lib/modules/* to see if misc/ is there.

Installation issues / Re: Media Directors hanging

« on: June 18, 2010, 10:17:33 am »

trying to match the conditions that lead to the succesfull md install, I restored an Image (clonezilla is my friend ) of a fresh core with the Diskless_CreateTBZ script activated.
Besides this I used other utp cabling and GB switch  to eliminate network issues.
On the internal network are no other devices.
No peripherals are connected to the MD during the setup proces.

Unfortunaly the result is the same.

The only thing (I can see ) that may have varied compared with the succesfull install is the timing of reloading the router after the  message "...finished installing software...in order to use...reload the router" is displayed on any orbiter.


I certainly want to dive a little deeper to see what is causing the problem. Where can I start looking?

thanks in advance

Hi,

my MD is still hanging on the "Restarting OpenBSD secure Shell Server..."

As mentioned above I tried to let it sit for a couple of houres with no result.
Removing the MD in webadmin and then creating it again in the webadmin  with mac adress (like stated by Kezza in this thread) also didn't work for me.

I guess this is my 5th try now. I'm realy clueless now. The strange thing is that yesterday out of the blue I had succes with creating this MD. It was the first md setup on a fresh core with the Diskless_CreateTBZ just finished.( Unfortunaly I screwed that one up and had to delete it in the webmin. )

Is there a command to launch the House-setup by hand?
Is there someone who can bring some light here

Hi Jayzee,


according to this thread http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10272.0 you can go to a terminal and do

Code: [Select]

Hi,

I have the same issue (hangs after the line: restarting openbsd secure shell server sshd ...done)
Same hardware in the past produced working MD. Only difference is I disabled the onboard nic and replaced it with a pci intel nic.

Installation issues / can't get asus M3N78EM mb working as MD

« on: June 10, 2010, 01:53:04 pm »

My MD has a asus M3N78-EM motherboard which is plug n play. I installed the snapshot of 1/06 on the core and Ran the /usr/pluto/bin/diskless_CreateTBZ.
The setup procces goes through 'loadind vmlinuz..ready' and I can compleets the AV wizard. It reboots 3 times. Then it proceeds until "restarting BSD ssh daemon". Here it stops.
I can start kde with 'startx' in console. I guess this rules out video and nic problems.
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version returns 195.36.04
Somewhere in the boot procces I saw: "starting mysql database server Mysqld failed".

Strange, this MB never gave me problems. however, I added a pci Intel nic because the onboard one is toasted.

thanks in advance

Hi,

I believe every myth frontend can connect to the lmce mythbackend as long as versions are the same.

Hi,

My core is now working. The fix was adding the avanard repo.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
 adding this line at the bottom:
deb http://www.avenard.org/files/ubuntu-repos/  intrepid  release
ctrl+O, ctrl+x

sudo apt-get update

Is this the right thing to do?

Thanks wombiroller,

I let the core all afternoon but I guess the problem will not resolv itself.

In the initial installer log I notice it is trying to contact www.mythtv.org:80 resulting in error 404 not found.
But this is not the issue i believe.

Any ideas?

Users / Installation problem - snapshot 1e June

« on: June 08, 2010, 12:19:55 pm »

Hi,

I'm trying to install lmce, without succes for a couple of times now. This is what happens,
the dvd is installed, then the lmce script is executed and then the system is rebooted.
Before the system shuts down following error is reported: Applcation Nepomuk Server crashed causing Signal 11.

-The system boots: I notice V4L2 modules failed to load.

In the house setup wizard: failed to get  ivtv videodrivers, failed to get mythtv plugin

                                     click "Start using the system", system answers: "the router is busy with the following task and cannot be reloaded right now: General Info Plug-in. See pending tasks: General Info Plugin Download Sofware on: 1"

I waited for an hour and choosed to click "Force Anyway"
while the  green progressbar  shows the startup of the lmce-devices.The Sarah-video frame is playing on top.
Then there is a black window with OK-button stating not all devices started correctly.
Ater this the wizard with Sarah appears again: I do it again confirming previous choises.

Then screens are generated, then again the green  progress-bar: it stops at Mythtv player

After short moment the lmce UI2 appaers.

I try to play a video: black screen without cursor or arrow.

I perform a reboot: black screen with message: "Installing Pluto-Mythtv-Plugin" and after this "Installing xmltv-util". I let it sit there for 30 minutes. Top shows in the meanwhile for Apt-Get 95-99% of cpu-usage.

rebooting takes me to the the "Installing Pluto-Mythtv-Plugin and xmltv utils' again.

This is a core with supported hardware. I never experienced with the early beta2 810 versions. As pvr I use one pvr250 and one pvr500.

Hopefully someone with more insight can hint me in the right direction.
thanks

Hi Guys,

My first post on this forum. Have been following the forum and reading the wiki for long. Wanna say thanks to the devs and others who invest their time in this project.

Point 5 of OP I can confirm (I used a 4 may snapshot dvd): I also cannot download the general-info plugin. When I click 'Start Using The System' , it keeps saying it is bussy with downloading the plugin. I clicked "force anyway?"

Is there a way of manually installing it?

I tried apt-get install general-info-plugin

It returns:dpkg was interupted, you must manually run "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem.

Is this safe to do?
