H/W: mini-box LCD-300, VIA CN700, 1GB Ram, 60GB hdd, 2GB CF Card, Hauppauge PVR-250
####
This is a summary of: http://imedialinux.com/forum/installing_mythtv_target_does_not_work
This is now the correct location for this post.
####
Original Symptom: iMedia would only install with correction, would boot, load X and stop (never loaded xdm)
####
Corrections Wishlist for 5.0.1

  1. Remount USB CDROM prior to install script running
  2. chown MySQL data directory to user:group mysql:mysql
  3. Place vim & mc into installed base load
  4. Correct db for MythTV installation
  5. Fix the lircd startup script
    • /dev/lirc vs. /dev/lirc/0
    • --OR-- fix lirc so MythTV uses USBIR receiver on LCD-300 (PLEASE)
  6. Provide binaries for LCDProc server and client so we can have MythTV control the picoLCD (PLEASE)

####
Thanks for listening.

Randy,

I will follow your lead in moving the discussion over to the mythtv forum.

Nicu, in responce to the development of lircd driver and LCDProc for the picolcd, is there any hack you could suggest to get the pico IR working in the short term until you finish the driver. Also, thanks for the suggestion about the plugin for LCD4linux to control output on the LCD for mythtv.

Thanks for all the great help.

mpokross,

Do you have this working? Can you tell me the setup for this?

Thanks,
Randy

Nicu,

I had trouble getting lcd4linux to print channel number.

error:

Evaluator: unknown function 'MySQL::query' in MySQL::query('SELECT channum FROM inuseprograms LEFT join (channel)
on (channel.chanid=inuseprograms.chanid) WHERE recusage="player"')

Config:

Widget ChanID {
class 'Text'
expression MySQL::query('SELECT channum FROM inuseprograms LEFT join (channel) on (channel.chanid=inuseprograms.chanid) WHERE rec$
align 'left'
update 1000
}

Could you confirm that lcd4linux was complied with the mysql plugin. If not could you provide an updated version, I currently do not have a build environment.

As always thank you for your help.

M

Hi Guys,

I just uploaded updates/fixes to a couple of problems stated here in this forum and not only:

1. dlink package with Gigabit Dlink ethernet module
2. lcd4linux with mysql plugin
3. lirc-hauppauge fixed some problems with a missing ir-common module
4. lirc with /etc/rcS.d/M20-lirc script fixed to point to device /dev/lirc
5. mythtv-settings containing a fixed database and proper mysql rights on directory
6. sysadmin package
Still remains a problem with sysadmin user not having proper uid:gid ( should be 0:0 ) but this will be fixed in next release. Till then if you need it modify by hand /etc/passwd
7. via-network fix missing dependency for via-velocity driver
8. viacx700 containing new via driver with support for cx/ex chipsets. There are still problems with this new driver but we release it for testing purposes.

Updates available on our ftp

I just tried the new sysadmin package, and when I go to install updates and select say 5 meg worth, it says I have -5 meg free space. This drive has plenty of free space. Any thoughts?

Hi,

The problem comes from the fact /etc/fstab is wrong. You probably installed iMedia on another computer using an USB CF card reader or something similar and /etc/fstab was created with those parameters. To fix the problem edit /etc/fstab line

/dev/sda1 / ext3 rw,noatime,commit=15,data=ordered 0 0

and modify /dev/xxxx device to match your actual device.
If you don't know exactly your boot device, take a look at /etc/grub.conf on kernel line you have an argument root=/dev/xxxx. That is your root device.

Razvan.
