Post subject: | 5.5 to 6.0 upgrade - multiple fails |
This hasn't gone at all well. I've been using Knoppmyth for several years, have upgraded multiple times, was running 5.5. I cloned my 5.5 disk (so I could revert should 6.0 break) and ran install/upgrade on the 5.5 (clone) disk. The first major problem is that my eth0 no longer works. Since LinHES changed from knoppix/debian layout to "arch linux" (whatever that is), all my knowledge on what files control networking is obsolete. I find that there are networking files all over the place. I fiddled with the files in (I think) /etc/net/ifaces as best I could, fiddled with /etc/rc.conf, but cannot get eth0 to come up. I have a block of 16 static IPs from my ISP (my employer) so I don't use DHCP. Can anybody tell me the MINIMUM number of files (and their locations) that I need to edit to get eth0 to come up? (I figured out that I have to run "/etc/rc.d/network restart" to try to get it to come up.) The second major problem is that once the GUI comes up, the keyboard stops working. The Hauppauge "blaster" or "silver" remote (look identical to me) only affects the UI about 5% of the time, so running the UI using the remote is near impossible. The third major problem is that, despite the upgrade having theoretically read in my mythtv backup, all my recordings are "gone" according to LinHES. The mythconverg database is basically empty -- the canned stuff is there, but none of my backed-up settings. Is there a way to recover from this, given that I have my backup mythconverg.sql file? I'm about to revert to my R5.5 disk and try to find another way to get an updated mythtv installation, because the new "arch linux" seems like a disaster, since now I know nothing about how to control the system. From an upgrade standpoint, I'm extremely disappointed in the new "LinHES", it's nowhere near as good as the old Knoppmyth, all of which upgrades went fairly easily. Thanks, Bill Dudley |
