Yeah, I had the same problem yesterday. It'd be nice if the

Do yum list available kernel*

Once you have the last revision installed, make sure that it's
selected to boot by default in /etc/grub.conf if using grub as your
bootloader.

Don't forget to ensure that all the necessary kernel modules are also installed.

Don't tell me, my Samsun HDD SP1614N (160GB, smartd started reporting
"1 Offline uncorrectable sectors" a month or 2 ago. Found them by
having smartd run long self tests once a week. So far it's only one
sector, but I'm not looking forward to swapping out the drive and
moving everything to a new one.

My drive is running around the same temperatures according to smartctl.

Make sure you configured smartd to run an extended self test once a week:

I'll probably buy a replacement drive (Seagate which I've always had
good luck with) and move my myth install to it and relegate the
Samsung to backup drive duties where if it goes bad it won't be a big
deal unless one of my primary drives dies at the same time.

2. You didn't apply the workaround in said threads from step #1 before
re-running mythfilldatabase.  (Hint: you either need to adjust your

Not sure, but I do see a good number of ERRORs on my setup as well (FC3

amounts of IO occur while recording at which point I get messages like this:

ivtv: ENC IRQ OVERFLOW: #0 Stealing a Buffer, 256 currently allocated
When this happens a recording will continue to record OK, but for some 
reason myth will think that the recording is extremely long, for

skipping forward and backward work strangely.

2. How often should I do an apt-get upgrade?  It seems like I could do at

would like to make is avidemux2 since the atRPMs version (2.0.28) seems to
have some problem that the dag version (2.0.34test2) doesn't, but I would
have to uninstall avidemux2 to make the update unless I do a complete apt-get
upgrade.
I suggest that you write a cron script to email you what packages are 
available to upgrade on a nightly basis.  Then you will know what 
updated packages are available and you can update as necessary.

[mythtv-users] FC3 and module auto-load how-to

2004-12-31 Thread David Rees
From what I can tell the best way to get modules like ivtv and 
lirc_serial to load at boot time, is to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, go to 
line 151 and modify the line other="" to contain the modules you want to 
load at boot time.

On my system, the line looks like this:
other="ivtv lirc_serial"
This loads ivtv and lirc_serial for me.  My /etc/modprobe.conf has the 
following to get ivtv and lirc_serial initialized properly:

# Begin IVTV portion
alias char-major-81 videodev
# For All Tuners (0,1)
alias char-major-81-0   ivtv
alias char-major-81-1   ivtv
install ivtv /sbin/modprobe v4l1-compat && \
	/sbin/modprobe msp3400-ivtv && \
	/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ivtv
# End IVTV portion
# Begin lirc portion
install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none && 
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial io=0x3f8 irq=4
# End lirc portion

Hope this helps.

I believe the problem is a bit of a chicken and egg problem.  The
application (mythbackend wants /dev/video[0-9], lircd wants
/dev/lirc[0-9]). Previously when an application would access those
devices, the kernel would see (for example) /dev/lirc0 is mapped to major
61 minor 0, look in /etc/modprobe.conf for char-major-61 and load the
appropriate module.  But with udev the kernel doesn't know that those
applications are probing for those devices as those devices do not exist
until the module is loaded.

If you could get those devices to show up all the time, or manually load
the modules before any applications start, that would solve the clean
reboot problem.

Heh, now that I've thought about it, you can fix this by creating the
appropriate devices in /etc/udev/devices:

# cd /etc/udev.d/devices/
# mknod lirc0 c 61 0
# mknod video0 c 81 0

You may have to create additional devices if you have more than one ivtv
device or a PVR-350 depending on the order mythbackend probes things.

It has to do with the switch to udev for handling device creation.  I'm

[mythtv-users] FC1 -> FC3 - Now fonts shifted down?

2004-12-16 Thread David Rees
Since upgrading from FC1 to FC3, it appears that all fonts in the mythtv 
frontend have been shifted slightly down.  In some cases, the bottom 
half of letters are missing.  Anyone know what may cause this or 
anything to try?

Your machine has been turned into a DDOS bot.  Time to unplug from the
network, re-install from scratch and install all security updates before
opening up to the public.

Out of curiosity, what distribution and have all security updates been
installed?

Ah, I figured it out.  I didn't have the v4l-compat module loaded.  Now 
that it's loading, mythbackend can find the tuner again.

[mythtv-users] Upgraded from FC1 to FC3 - Couldn't find input: Tuner 0 on card

2004-12-05 Thread David Rees
I upgraded my working FC1 to FC2 and then FC3 yesterday.  I've got 
almost everything working now except for one major thing:  mythbackend 
won't change channels!

I'm using a PVR-250, and ivtv 0.2.0-rc3.
I've verified that I can manually change channels using record-v4l2.pl. 
 mythbackend opens /dev/video0 OK, but prints this message:

Couldn't find input: Tuner 0 on card
Any ideas?

I use backuppc running on a separate machine.  It's awesome!  It's saved
my ass a couple of times when I've accidently deleted something I wanted
later.
