Missing MD configuration file "pxelinux.cfg/default"

[simon_b]

Hi!

Trying to install the latest snapshot 23304 from 23/9/2010...

The core install went OK, no problems at all..

When i ran "sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh" to prepare diskless MD, i got that

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-mythtv-player: PreDepends: mythtv-backend but it is not installable
                              PreDepends: mythtv-frontend but it is not installable
                
E: Broken packages
#### Package pluto-orbiter failed (/tmp/tmp.kGzVe19952) - We wait 10sec and try again - to stop retrying press Ctrl-C.
^C

error...

Since more then 10 mins there was no change, I ended the process with "CTRL+C"... - OK, MD should at least somehow ran without it, i thought...

After that, I started my MD (it is an Acer EEE Box b202), when something like that comes along:

...
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Unable to locate configuration file

Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset...

And now I'm stuck...

Is this somehow connected?
What to do?!

Could you try sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh again
and see if you still get that error?

[simon_b]

tried once again from work, the error ist still there - what installation concerns...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  pluto-mythtv-player: PreDepends: mythtv-backend but it is not installable

#### Package pluto-mythtv-player failed (/tmp/tmp.BnLdCt3299) - We wait 10sec and try again - to stop retrying press Ctrl-C.

From here just cannot restart th MD, but will try wen I get home - even if I don't if there will be some difference...

[bongowongo]

Ok I will test this snapshot tomorrow, see if I can reproduce the same error.

[simon_b]

the same happeneed also with the snapshot from 16th of September

but is there something to do, since i need that MD pretty much... Or rather an internet install?!

[bongowongo]

I did it with snapshot of 19 september, and no problems.
Are you sure your network configuration is ok?
eth0 = internet
eth1 = internal network

[simon_b]

sure.. ok, after "first" installation (distribution),I needed to change eth0 and eth1 with

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

,
since the "outside" NIC was during initial install defined as eth1, and then started "LinuxMCE" install

now it is like:

EXTERNAL_IFACE   eth0
EXTERNAL_MAC   00:27:17:b5:33:2f
EXTERNAL_IP   192.168.1.2
EXTERNAL_NETMASK   255.255.255.0
EXTERNAL_DHCP   1
INTERNAL_IFACE   eth1
INTERNAL_MAC   00:24:01:88:52:75
INTERNAL_IP   192.168.80.1
INTERNAL_NETMASK   255.255.255.0
GATEWAY   192.168.1.1
DNS1   192.168.1.1
DNS2   192.168.1.1

could be that a problem?

[bongowongo]

That could be the problem.

[simon_b]

sh*t... BUT... I changed my cables... The original distribution installation switched the interfaces also!!!

IS there another way to change it the right way?!

LMCE provides a way to change eth0 for eth1.  Click "swap interfaces" under the advanced network settings in web admin, then physically swap the cables.

[simon_b]

...knew that... ok, reinstalled the whole system - like in latest tries, system automatically set eth1 as outside, no matter how the cables were... Then, in the web interface, i swapped the interfaces, changed the cables, everything runs ok.

Then, i run "sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh"... in the end, that "Mythtv" problem with broken packages stil repeats himself, until I end it with Ctrl-C.

Then, i try to run network install of the MD, but that error "Unable to locate configuration file" still stops the process...

Now I'm really clueless...

[phenigma]

Hitting Ctrl-C will cancel the Diskless_Create script, MDs will not boot until the mythtv dependency problem is resolved and the script successfully completes.

Have you confirmed that you have internet access before running DisklessCreate?  You must have a working internet connection or DisklessCreate will fail.

Find out what apt really thinks about mythtv-backend, on your core run:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-cache policy mythtv-backend

The output should look like this:

Code: [Select]

mythtv-backend:
  Installed: 0.23-0.1
  Candidate: 0.23-0.1
  Package pin: 0.23-0.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.23-0.1 1001
        500 file: ./ Packages
        500 http://deb.linuxmce.org intrepid/beta2 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/multiverse Packages

If that looks good then you need to start looking for other errors that are happening in the script before this one with mythtv, you may have to scroll back in the buffer to find additional errors.  If your output doesn't look like the above then you should post your /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi @phenigma!

Sorry, I'm a bit late... During this night I tried to install the whole system per "internet install" method. Success.... The MD is running already. Everything OK, need to solve only medibunturepo error (key) and some minor things - after I come home later today...

But just FYI: the internet connection was OK, no problems at all, also the sources.list was like it should be - no avenard repo or such...

simon_b,

thanks for the heads up! Positive feedback is greatly appreciated.

I made wiki how to http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Error_Running_Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh

What can I do ?


Thanks

EDIT;

It seams that my problem is with source.list


Can some one please paste correct source.list


Thanks
