Ochorocho: /* MythTV */

== Hardware ==

* MacMini 2010 - Model 4,1
** Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.66GHz
** 8GB RAM
** S/PDIF audio
* Teufel Concept E 300 "5.1-Set"
* DVB-S Device: TT-Connect S2 3650CI
* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add '''nomodeset'''
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
* HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

== auto install NVIDIA 320M ==

Should work in the new Snapshot
Basic Steps to make it work automatically:

Check NVIDIA Card

sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-260 | grep -i Installed
sudo lspci -nn | grep VGA
Update pciid

sudo update-pciids
lspci -nn | grep VGA

Get pciid

lspci -nn | grep -vi "non-vga" | grep "VGA" | sed 's/.*://;s/\].*//'

add pciid in nvidia-install.sh. Add it to both lines DRIVER_260_SUPPORTED and VDPAU_REV_C_SUPPORTED

sudo nano -w /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
sudo /root/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run --uninstall
sudo reboot

== Broadcom BCM57765 ethernet tg3-driver install ==

Download Driver

http://www.broadcom.com/support/license.php?file=570x/linux-3.122g.zip

Go to dir and install

cd tg3-3.116j/
make
make install

Edit /etc/network/interfaces, replace address and gateway with yours

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.xx
pre-up sysctl -q -e -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1

Restart Network

/etc/init.d/networking restart

or (this is recommended by Shell)

service networking top
service networking start

reboot

NOTE: Make sure you disabled DHCP in lmce-admin web interface if you are running LMCE behind a router which is already using DHCP

== Public Key Error medibuntu ==

By making sure that the LinuxMCE is up to date i had trouble doing „apt-get update“.

Error

W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org lucid

Fix

== Install TT-connect 3650 S2 DVB receiver ==

Kernel update may harm your dvb driver!!!!

If this happend make sure you cleaned your dvb drivers:

sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/*

=== S2API ===

mkdir 3650
cd 3650
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
make
make install

change CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=m to CONFIG_DVB_FIREDTV=y

in

./3650/s2-liplianin/v4l/.config

Kernel versions earlier than „2.6.32-41-generic“ i used to install the dvb device like described here

=== Download and copy ngene to /lib/firmware (no idea if it is really needed) ===

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Linux4Media_cineS2_DVB-S2_Twin_Tuner#Firmware

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0

When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot

== MythTV ==

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv

In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X

=== Start mythtv-setup ===

sudo mythtv-setup

I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

=== Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot ===

'''Descripton'''

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

'''Solution'''

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local

add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...
killall mythbackend
mythtvbackend
exit 0

== mythweb ==

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

== iPad, iPhone 3GS Orbiter ==

== CUPS and Airprint ==

Someone wrote a nice python script to generate a *.service file for avahi

Install required packages

sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cups

Download script using git

git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git

go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers

cd airport-generate/
python airprint-generate.py
Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Add this line

# CUPS AIRPRINT
ServerAlias *

edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and comment out „AllowUser“ line. This allows every computer in the network to print! It was required for Airprint to work because of permission problems

#AllowUser USER

restart cups

sudo service cups restart

== Things to come... ==

* AirPlay does not work. Bugreport: svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/1478
* Control my Samsung Plasma TV. 2 ways possible. Either use HDMI or Network...
* Find a way to change the volume. Currently using S/PDIF, i guess no chance to change volume within LinuxMCE
* Network Boot from DBOX2. Why? Coz' i got 2!
* Network Boot from MacMini 2006

Download script using git

git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git

go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers

cd airport-generate/

Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Add this line

== Hardware ==

* MacMini 2010 - Model 4,1
** Intel Core 2 Duo - 2.66GHz
** 8GB RAM
** S/PDIF audio
* Teufel Concept E 300 "5.1-Set"
* DVB-S Device: TT-Connect S2 3650CI
* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add '''nomodeset'''
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add '''nomodeset'''
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X

=== Start mythtv-setup ===

sudo mythtv-setup

I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

Astra 19.2E scan settings
freq: 12551500
pol: horizontal/vertical (scan for both)
symbol rate: 22000000
fec: auto

=== Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot ===

'''Descripton'''

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

'''Solution'''

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local

add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...
killall mythbackend
mythtvbackend
exit 0

== mythweb ==

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

Someone wrote a nice python script to generate a *.service file for avahi

Install required packages

sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cups

Download script using git

git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git

go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers

cd airport-generate/
python airprint-generate.py
Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Add this line

# CUPS AIRPRINT

edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and comment out „AllowUser“ line. This allows every computer in the network to print! It was required for Airprint to work because of permission problems

#AllowUser USER

restart cups

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add '''nomodeset'''
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0

When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot

== MythTV ==

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv
In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X

=== Start mythtv-setup ===

sudo mythtv-setup

I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

Astra 19.2E scan settings
freq: 12551500
pol: horizontal/vertical (scan for both)
symbol rate: 22000000
fec: auto

=== Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot ===

'''Descripton'''

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

'''Solution'''

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local

add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...
killall mythbackend
mythtvbackend
exit 0

== mythweb ==

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

== CUPS and Airprint ==

Someone wrote a nice python script to generate a *.service file for avahi

Install required packages

sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cups

Download script using git

git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git

go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers

cd airport-generate/
python airprint-generate.py
Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/

Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Add this line

# CUPS AIRPRINT
ServerAlias *

edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and comment out „AllowUser“ line. This allows every computer in the network to print! It was required for Airprint to work because of permission problems

#AllowUser USER

restart cups

sudo service cups restart

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add '''nomodeset'''
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0

When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot

== MythTV ==

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv
In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X

=== Start mythtv-setup ===

sudo mythtv-setup

I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

=== Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot ===

'''Descripton'''

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

'''Solution'''

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local

add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...
killall mythbackend
mythtvbackend

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"

=== Can't save settings ===

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

* Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
* in grub select "Install"
* TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0

When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot

== MythTV ==

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv
In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X
Start mythtv-setup

sudo mythtv-setup
I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot

Descripton

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

Solution

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local
add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...

killall mythbackend

mythweb

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"
Can't save settings

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

* TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
* hit ENTER to run installer
* Wait till it completely bootet…
* Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

Solution

mythweb

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"
Can't save settings

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels

Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000

The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2
* iPhone 3GS
* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- hit ENTER to run installer
- Wait till it completely bootet…
- Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"

Whats going on ..

* nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
* reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot

To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot

Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0
When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv
In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot

Descripton

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

Solution

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local
add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...

killall mythbackend

mythweb

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"
Can't save settings

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels
Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000
The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

* Remote: WII Mote Plus
* External HDD (2x 2TB): ICY BOX
* iPad2

* Cups Printer: Canon IP5300

== Let's go ==

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- hit ENTER to run installer
- Wait till it completely bootet…
- Follow the nice looking installer (If you can't figure out how to do this, go home! ;-) )

== Update grub to enable reboot and graphics ==

After install boot again from DVD

- Drop in DVD and boot from cdrom
- in grub select "Install"
- TAB to set boot options and add nomodeset
- HDD needs to be mounted and we need to change some mount points temporarily. Do following steps:

mount HDD Kubuntu is installed on
mount --bind /dev/ /media/YOUR-DISK/dev/
mount --bind /proc/ /media/YOUR-DISK/proc/
mount --bind /sys/ /media/YOUR-DISK/sys/
chroot /media/YOUR-DISK/

edit

nano -w /etc/default/grub

and verify that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT contains nomodeset and reboot=pci Possibly its the best to add these values at the end

e.g.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset reboot=pci"
Whats going on ..

nomodeset fixes black screen after boot
reboot=pci enables reboot, if not set it won't reboot
To apply the new settings to grub run

update-grub
reboot
Now you should be able to boot without getting a black screen and you are also able to reboot, but hold on for a few more minutes

Create or edit /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf and add following lines

Set options for splitting twin tuners. If i got it right, there is some trouble with twin tuners detecting each tuner as a single device.

options ngene one_adapter=1
options ngene one_adapter=0
When these option are not set maybe an error occur in mythtv setting up the TV card

reboot
MythTV

By following the advice at LMCE-Forum i manually installed mythtv

sudo apt-get install mythtv
In my case pluto-mythtv-plugin was not found. So i decided to run myth-setup via a X session.

Remote login using ssh (on Mac you can use the Terminal-App)

ssh user@192.168.80.1 -X
Start mythtv-setup

sudo mythtv-setup
I used these instructions to setup my usb tv tuner.

Astra 19.2E scan settings

Restart "mythbackend" after each reboot

Descripton

Running mythtv frontend after reboot gave me random errors e.g. „already using all available inputs“

Solution

Edit rc.local

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local
add „killall mythbackend“ right before „exit 0“

...

killall mythbackend
mythtvbackend

exit 0

mythweb

mythweb white page

If you get a white page on mythweb, a possible reason is wrong settings for mysql connection.

Make sure you set the right mysql values in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf

setenv db_server "localhost"
setenv db_name "mythconverg"
setenv db_login "mythtv"
setenv db_password "PASSWORD"
Can't save settings

Maybe you can't save channel settings. This happens because of apache and suhosin settings. Check your apache log

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
If you get an error like this:

.. PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 5000. To increase the limit change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://dcerouter/mythweb/settings/tv/channels
Increase the values in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini as follows

max_input_vars = 15000;
[suhosin]
suhosin.post.max_vars = 15000
suhosin.request.max_vars = 15000
The value to set depends on the number of channels listed

CUPS and Airprint

Someone wrote a nice python script to generate a *.service file for avahi

Install required packages

sudo apt-get install git-core python python-cups
Download script using git

git clone https://github.com/tjfontaine/airprint-generate.git
go to the downloaded folder, Execute command to generate *.service file of existing printers

cd airport-generate/
python airprint-generate.py
Copy *.service files to /etc/avahi/services/

cp *.service /etc/avahi/services/
Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

sudo nano -w /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Add this line

# CUPS AIRPRINT
ServerAlias *
edit /etc/cups/printers.confa and comment out „AllowUser“ line. This allows every computer in the network to print! It was required for Airprint to work because of permission problems

#AllowUser USER
restart cups

sudo service cups restart
