I believe that's normal. The time server set via the web interface is not stored in the same environment variable as the mechanism you are using. In addition I believe it has to be an rdate server, not an NTP server. Check the timeserver page on the wiki. I documented these details after asking a bunch a questions on the dev list. > 2) In /var/log/messages of my tftp server I get this: > Jul 9 18:18:10 localhost in.tftpd[25728]: RRQ from > _192.168.1.61_ <http://192.168.62.61/> filename dongle.bin.ver > Jul 9 18:18:10 localhost in.tftpd[25729]: RRQ from > _192.168.1.61_ <http://192.168.62.61/> filename dongle.bin > Jul 9 18:18:41 localhost in.tftpd[25728]: tftpd: read(ack): Connection > refused > Jul 9 18:18:45 localhost in.tftpd[25729]: tftpd: read(ack): Connection > refused > > Is it normal to have connection refused like that? In my experience, yes. Check the list archives and you'll find logs I posted that look similar. > There are no log entries for dongle.bin.config. Are you running a TFTP server on the normal port? That's required for the dongle.bin.config retrieval. Are you sure this second TFTP server is logging? Have you tried a manual retrieval of dongle.bin.config from another computer? (Any other Windows or Linux box will do.) > It also finds my Myth backend and allows me to watch recordings. > Would this be possible if the config isn't loading? Possibly. The default startup script will set the MythTV server: # If mvpmc is still not running, run it with some reasonable options. if [ -z $SERVER ] ; then if [ -z $HOST ] ; then mvpmc -c ${TFTP} --startup setup --emulate ? & else mvpmc -c $HOST --vlc $HOST --emulate ? & fi else mvpmc -c $SERVER --vlc $SERVER --emulate ? & fi Some of these variables are sourced from /etc/udhcpc.config, which in turn gets its data from DHCP. If you can grok shell scripts, see /etc/rcS on your MVP for the specifics. > How can I check if the config is loading... After your MVP boots up, telnet to it, login as root, and try: # cat /etc/dongle.config If you see your expected startup script, then it's getting loaded correctly. > My config file looks like this: > > TZ='CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3' > export TZ > echo "TZ='CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3'" > /etc/shell.config > echo "export TZ" >> /etc/shell.config I tend to prefer this syntax: # set time zone echo "TZ=EST+5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2; export TZ" > /etc/shell.config . /etc/shell.config > NTP=pool.ntp.org I specify an NTP server via a DHCP option, but that should work too. You can confirm it is working by running this on the MVP: # ps PID Uid VmSize Stat Command [...] 148 root 136 S /bin/ntpclient -d -l -h 192.168.0.35 In your case you should see pool.ntp.org after the -h. > mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.1.110 -o composite -a 16:9 -T > mythconverg -c 192.168.1.110 Is that command line cut-off.
