MythTv setup
archived:
Thanks very much - yep, I was trying to run it on my core. As you've gathered, I'm a newbie to this but relatively experienced with Linux.
I can't get mythTV up and running - getting mostly socket errors on port 6543. I shall have another look at the documentation, obviously. I get the impression that a DVB card (Nova-T 90002) should be installed in a MD rather that the core? Mine is installed in the core and I had to recompile the kernel (2.6.12) to get the DVB card actually working (it was recognised by 2.6.10-1 and modules loaded, but would not work with dvbstream).
Perhaps I should re-install as a hybrid? Is /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend supposed to be started at boot time ? Has anyone else managed to get mythtv up and running with a DVB card in the core?
Thanks for your help...

More problems! I've now re-installed pluto (2.0.0.21) as a hybrid (my Nova-T 90002 card resides in it). It starts up OK, I get the on-screen orbiter etc. However, when I try to run the myth-setup program from the orbiter, it seems to take forever.... I think it may have to do something with mysql permissions? I get the following error:
Driver error was [2/2002]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to execute query
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
Permissions on /var/run/mysqld:
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 6 2005-06-16 18:47 mysqld.pid
srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 2005-06-16 18:47 mysqld.sock
Any ideas? Thanks...

So we're just talking about a single pc now (core/hybrid in one)? MySql always runs on the Core (or hybrid) only, and part of the scripts grant access privileges for any other media directors. If you suspect there might be some permissions issue, you may want to try running mysql, then type:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * TO '*'@'*';
That should completely open up mysql to everyone. If you have dual NIC's, I *believe* it will not pose a security risk because it should only accept incoming connections on the NIC for your internal network--not allowing unlimited access from outside. If you're worried about this, do:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * TO '*'@'1.2.3.4';
where 1.2.3.4 is the ip address of the pc to give access to. Repeat that for all pc's. Then in mysql try: show databases; [enter] use mythconverg; [enter] select * FROM settings; [enter]
to confirm you can access the database. Let me know if that solves the access issue. Thx.

Thanks very much ... seems to work. Actually, I don't think it was a permissions problem - I think it was due to RAM, or rather lack thereof. My core/hybrid has 256MB ram which was sufficient for the pre-pluto older version of mythtv, but the system was stopping mysqld whenever X and ratposion where running. So, I've been running mythtv-setup via ssh and X forwarding. Similarly, I can now run mythfrontend via ssh -X, and it's all working. Haven't tried running orbiter yet either via ssh -X or on my main machine. That's for later on... I shall post a message on how I've got on...
