Myth-tv outdated and need to update to newest

[fearingsept]

I just installed LMCE on the actual Machine that I will be using as my core/hybrid. Instead of the DVD I used the CD's because for some reason either my DVD burner or my system just didn't like the DVD. Everything for the most part is working but I am unable to configure my Myth TV program guide because it is still trying to pull the data from Zap it. On the other installs this was automatically updated after the install process. It doesn't seem to want to pull down the latest updates, any suggestions?

go to the advanced page under the Advanced menu on the orbiter.. select Force Updates Now.. this will cause the newest updates to be fetched and installed when the system reboots. After which, you should have your schedulesdirect.org updates...


or, you could wait 24 hours.

yeah, I did that, but it seems like nothing happens... does it normaly take a long time to actually run updates? Maybe a status bar or a "checking for updates" splash.

The update you need does take a long time to download, and LMCE will only notify you that an update is available to install when it has downloaded.

You can download and install updates from the KDE Konsole:

cd /usr/pluto/bin
./LMCEUpdate_DownloadXml.sh
./LMCEUpdate
(takes some time, but when complete...)
./LMCEUpdate_Apply.sh

Thank you, that worked and my system is updating.

This is what I get when I attempt to run the commands shown above. Am I missing a step?

There is a permissions problem from what I can see.
Try running the download command as root. i.e.

sudo ./LMCEUpdate_DownloadXml.sh

[mikesignguy]

the correct commands are:

 

cd /usr/pluto/bin
sudo ./LMCEUpdate_DownloadXml.sh
sudo ./LMCEUpdate
(takes some time, but when complete...)
sudo ./LMCEUpdate_Apply.sh

there are a lot of postings to show how to manually update  and it is a bit confusing
this is the closest to being noobie proof
..thanx gaxlang

mark it solved and maybe stickie

Tried the manual update instructions and I get this when running the second command.
