Installation issues / Upgrading from the web with the script...
« on: May 12, 2008, 05:23:29 pm »
Does anyone know how long this takes?  I am on day #2 (over 48 hours) and still downloading files in background.  Has anyone else done this and if so, how long does it take?  Can I stop the upgrade and upgrade from cd?

Installation issues / Thin client MD crash...
« on: December 17, 2007, 04:52:59 pm »
I have had a Shuttle AMD-64 MD up and running for over a month.  This weekend while moving the device it was unplugged accidentally.  Upon power-up, I got the following:

Request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-ffff

5 times in a row and then the system froze.  Rebooting the core did not help.  Has anyone seen this before or does anyone have any suggestions?

Users / Network boot media director crash...
« on: December 17, 2007, 02:59:41 am »
Just rebooted my network boot media director and just after starting the reboot I get the following:

Request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-ffff

about 6 times and then it hangs.

Nothing has changed on the MD or the core, both of which have been running for over a month.  Has anyone else seen this?

Installation issues / Mythtv black screen and no audio...SOLVED
« on: November 18, 2007, 11:18:15 pm »
Help! Please!  On an AMD 64 3200 with GeForce 5600 as a diskless MD with UI1 and a PVR-USB2 capture device, I am getting a black screen and no audio when I try to watch TV or even display the guide.  I had to go into mythfrontend and tell myth which codecs to use for playback..it was detecting an unknown video and audio codec before I did this.  Below is a snippit from /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log.  I'm not sure what the error about Card 1 not a having a hostname is.  Can anyone see what the problem is?  I have scoured the linuxmce and mythtv forum without finding an actual solution.

Installation issues / Problem changing diskless MD resolution...
« on: November 17, 2007, 07:09:08 pm »
After selecting 'Change resolution and sound' under advanced settings on a diskless MD, the computer reboots, but after running the helper script it stays in the console screen, blanking for a second once every 7 seconds.  Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a way to force the screen wizard to run without rebooting first?

Installation issues / Cannot connect to myth backend server...
« on: November 11, 2007, 05:35:33 pm »
After going through myth setup and trying to start tv, I get a message saying that myth is having problems and is trying to reset.  After a bit, I get the "Cannot connect to myth backend server. Is it running?  Is the ip set correctly in setup."  This is on a diskless MD with a core only machine running elsewhere on the network.  Running mythbackend on my core I get the following:

Using runtime prefix = /usr
New DB connection, total: 1
Unable to connect ot database!
Driver error was [1/1045]:
QMYSQL3:Unable to connect
Database error was:
Access denied for user 'mthtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

QSqlQuery::exec:database not open
QSqlQuery::exec:database not open
DB ERROR (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
Failed to init Mythcontext, exiting.

I can access MySql from the configuration screen in mce manager.

I have searched the forum as well as google, with no clear answer to the problem.  Any help is appreciated.

Developers / Standard TV overscanning during video playback...
« on: November 09, 2007, 06:31:21 pm »
Using a diskless MD with an nvidia card on my Hitachi Ultravision projection (not HD), I am getting a thick horizontal blue line across the top of the screen, clipping some of the video, during pre-recorded video playback.  I haven't used Myth yet so I don't know if the problem exists with it also.  Is there any place to adjust this in MCE?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Developers / Problem with PVRUSB2...
« on: November 09, 2007, 06:26:29 pm »
I am getting the following messages when trying to install my PVRUSB2 on my diskless MD:

pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing
pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper location:
pvrusb2: request_firmware unable to locate fx2 controller file v4l-pvrusb2-29xxx-01.fw
pvrusb2:  Failure uploading firmware1
pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful.
pvrusb2: Giving up since device microcontroller firmware appears to be missing.

The firmware file exists on the core machine in /lib/firmware/2.6.20-15-generic but not on the MD.  Does anyone know how to get the files from the core onto the MD?

Thanks for any help.

My core-only machine boots to the mce manager screen.  How do I access the KDE desktop from there?
