All permissions were fine. All config was fine. This must have been a software bug as I've just used apt-get and there were updates for myth. Applied these and it's now working ok. n.b. I'd made...

Hello,

I've just had to switch an intermittently failing motherboard on my myth machine. Prior to this I used apt to make sure the machine was up to date ("update" then "upgrade") after which I...

Hello,

I've set up vsftp semi successfully on Ubuntu server 14.10 and am now trying to disallow users from leaving their home directories but no matter what I try as soon as I log in with Puttys...

Hello,

I tried to do a release upgrade on my home server the other day, from 11.10 to 12.04, after which it will not boot. The file system appears to be present as I can view it from a live CD...

Just in case anyone's interested my remote stopped working again recently after upgrading to 12.04 so I followed my own thread with the only differece being that the output of "cat...

Hello,

I recently had a problem on my Mythbuntu 11.04 box where I was trying to fix a directory in /var/lib/mythtv/video which had "?????????" permissions set on it (no idea how this came to be ?)...

Firstly thanks for the speedy reply.

And since writing my post I did some more digging about and found there were lots of files and directories in "/tmp/" which were still owned by "mythtv". ...

Hello,

Yesterday morning I was trying to fix a problem on my mythtv box as when you used the "list videos" function it would hang for a long time (several minutes) with a "video dialog loading or...

Hello,

Can anyone tell me where/what/how I need to configure Mythbuntu 10.10 to get DVDs to auto play when a disc is inserted ? (i.e. when a valid DVD video disc is inserted into the DVD drive I...

Hello,

Having had to do a lot of fecking around to get my Hauppauge Nova-T 500 remote working on MythBuntu 10.10 I just thought I'd post the steps I took here. Both for my own use in the future...

Thanks for the reply. Having run the script the output should now be at:

Hello,

After two years worth of trying to get HDMI audio working on, what should be, a MythTV box I am now fed up to the teeth with it. Utterly, completely sick and dissilusioned with Ubuntu &...

This should be *much simpler* to use. It is no business of anyone other than myself how strong/weak a password I want to use.

If I want to use a password of "x" that's entirely my concern and it...

Hello,

Having just installed Ubuntu Netbook remix on a machine I would now like to tidy up the menu as it has too many items in the "left hand" "categories" menu. e.g. there is a category for...

I've got something like the same issue too. After upgrading to 9.10 I can't log in via GDM as it just keeps restarting. However I can log in fine to an alternate terminal by using "Ctrl+Alt+F2"...

But the real question is why is HDMI audio muted by default ? That's just dumb.

I too had tremendous difficulty getting HDMI audio to work under 9.04 (which involved finding out this "trick" plus...

The final part of the puzzle...

Finally what got audio working was for me to edit "/etc/asound.conf" again, comment out the previous entry and add a new line:

Hello,

I'm pretty much in the same frustrated boat as you as I've eventually got HDMI audio working in Totem, VLC, mplayer from the command line etc. but *not* in mplayer from the MythTV menus,...

Well after more frustrating hours googling I've now found that there does appear to be a DVD detected as the output of dmesg gives me the following:



me@pc:~$ dmesg | grep DVD

Hello,

I have a MythTV system where the DVD Drive is not working. When I boot from a CD it is recognised and I can run various live CDs etc. so this is definitely not a hardware issue.

However...

Just to update everyone with my progress.

Over the weekend I moved my existing "/" partition "up" the disk so I could put in a 200 Mb "/boot" partition at the "start" of the disk. And this took...

Cheers for the link. However since I posted I also tried creating a new partition and installing Ubuntu desktop to it (to see if it's installation of grub would work)

So now I have three...

Hello,

I've just attempted to replace the single ATA hard drive in my mini-itx server with a new 1Tb sata drive. So I copied all the files over to the new drive with "cp -ax" and have now removed...

Thanks for the reply.

However dd just didn;t do the job as it kept complaining about errors on the source disk (there are some mapped out sectors 'cause it's an almost junked test disk)

So I...

Hello,

I've been playing at making a mini-itx based MIDI file player/sequencer for live use. To this end I've installed Ubuntu-Studio onto a hard drive for testing.

I'm now at the point where...
