I believe I want the 64-bit version

curl -O http://osuosl.cdimages.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso


FIXME add info about installation from CD-ROM

mount hard drive

since, during installation, I had disconnected my hard drive (1 TB) that contained all my recordings, now I have to add the mounting info manually. I found these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive which I was happy to have as they are geared to ubuntu. Here's what I did


$ sudo lshw -C disk
[sudo] password for xxxx: 
  *-disk                  
       description: ATA Disk
       product: Hitachi HDT72101

so, yes, my hard drive shows up (the Hitachi)

$ sudo mkdir /storage

I had named it "/storage" before, so I'm sticking with that...

the instructions were to add this line to /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb1    /media/mynewdrive   ext3    defaults     0        2

according to 'man fstab', the "0" is a message to 'dump' that this disk should _not_ be dumped and the "2" is a message to 'fsck' that this is not a boot drive

$ cp -pr /etc/fstab fstab-backup
$ ls -Ftl /etc/fstab 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 955 2011-03-26 22:04 /etc/fstab
$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
$ diff fstab-backup /etc/fstab

> 
$ sudo mount -a
$ ls /storage/
backups  mytharchive  mythdvd  mythtv

yes!

Oh... I just found this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347704)

$ sudo blkid
[sudo] password for  xxxx: 
/dev/sda1: UUID="d5b9a6b5-8be1-4e62-bcdb-e30525ed6c7f" TYPE="ext2"

/dev/sdb1: UUID="a54e92bb-d3dd-4a7e-aca5-f0b70e930d40" TYPE="jfs" 

restore old database

OK, next I want to do Database_Backup_and_Restore#Database_Restore First, I copied my old "backuprc" file

$ cp -pr /storage/backups/4/home/tdg/.mythtv/backuprc ~/.mythtv/. 
$ ls -a ~/.mythtv/
.  ..  backuprc  config.xml  mysql.txt  themecache

I downloaded the latest mythconverg_restore.pl script and did

$ ./mythconverg_restore.pl --drop_database --create_database --filename mythconverg-1214-20110326203137.sql.gz

Successfully restored backup.

looks good!

change hostname

also, I must've mistyped my desired hostname, so I changed in manually (I have a bad feeling about this.

$ sudo vi /etc/hostname

permissions

I had problems deleting episodes

$ less /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log 
[SNIP]
2011-03-27 14:14:10.412 Error deleting '/storage/mythtv/recordings/1284_20110326190000.mpg' could not open 
                       eno: Permission denied (13)

discovered that I had some permissions issues. Here's a sample of the directory listing:

drwxrwxrwx  2 avahi-autoipd messagebus  24576 2011-03-27 20:12 livetv/  
drwxrwxrwx  2 avahi-autoipd messagebus 163840 2011-03-27 20:12 recordings/
drwxrwxrwx 14 avahi-autoipd messagebus  16384 2011-03-03 22:34 videos/
drwxrwxrwx 10 avahi-autoipd messagebus   4096 2010-11-20 09:24 pictures/
drwxrwxrwx  2 avahi-autoipd messagebus     56 2010-01-17 14:05 music/

So, I executed these commands:

$ sudo chown -R mythtv:mythtv livetv/ recordings/ videos/ pictures/ music/ posters/
$ sudo chmod g+rw livetv/ recordings/ videos/ pictures/ music/ posters/

changes to samba

/storage is the mount point for my drive (1 TB) where I want to keep recordings. I had disconnected it during installation of mythbuntu so that it wouldn't get erased.

$ cd /etc/samba
$ sudo cp -pr smb.conf smb.conf.bak1
$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | sed -e 's/\/var\/lib/\/storage/g' > ~/smb2
$ sudo cp /home/xxxx/smb2 .
$ sudo mv smb2 smb.conf
$ diff smb.conf smb.conf.bak1

lircd

migration

I want my remote working, again! When I installed the new mythbuntu, there wasn't an option for HDHomeRun to setup a remote control. I had to do things myself.

$ sudo apt-get install lirc

I copied .lirc/, .lircrc from my backup and made the symlink .mythtv/lircrc -> ../.lircrc

$ cat .lircrc

I looked at /etc/init.d/lirc and /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian and file:///usr/share/doc/lirc/html/configure.html to figure out that I needed to edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf See also Silicondust HDHomeRun

To check that things were working, I

  1. ran sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
  2. ran irw

I got this output

% sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
 * Loading LIRC modules                                                                                          [ OK ]

now my remote is working correctly with the front end!! :)

I think I want irexec to run

$ less /etc/lirc/lircrc

$ sudo touch /etc/lirc/lircrc

added irexec to my startup as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LIRC#irexec and Setting_A_Button_On_Your_Remote_To_Restart_mythfrontend
