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

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


I used Snapshot LMCE-1004-20120701130826149.iso

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

 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
