| Post subject: | Manual Install error and resizing my cache partition |
Is there a way to resize my cache partition without losing myth data (not shows but the actual mythtv program) or doing a manual install? Auto install is only making it 5gb (I am setting it to use 4gb) and this causes LiveTV to fail after about 1h45m. The log messages point to the cache being full. I resized my 3rd and 4th partitions with fdisk and it caused a problem with the /myth/tv directory. I figured this meant there was actual data on one of those partitions that the system needed and I had broken it or at least broken a link to the space. I tried a manual install, set the partitions the way I wanted and followed the prompts, seemingly getting a good install with no errors. EXCEPT every time I started or attempted to start any mythtv (mythtv, mythfrontend, mythbackend) I would get a message along the lines of "Couldn't connect to master backend server, check the IP". The IP was good and nothing else jumped out at me as being wrong, in otherwords everything appeared to be the same as it was when it worked for 1h45m. Did I miss an important setting in the manual install or causing an error by trying to set a larger cache partition (I was shooting for 10gb)? A subsequent manual install, caused the same error. My hardware: Athlon XP 1800 Abit NF7-S2G MB 512MB RAM 60GB Maxtor HD 7200rpm* Geforce MX420 AGP (to run the monitor) Haupauge 350 (as a tv capture card only, ie no TV out) HP DVD+/-RW Burner Generic 48x CDROM using the most current Knoppmyth package *I know the HD is too small, I was planning on adding 250gb+ after I had the system stable. I have spent about 2 weeks lurking on this board and reading wikis looking for install tips and the like. I read about QTparted in this thread: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1331&highlight=qtpar%2A and am going to try that when I get home, but the nerd in me is concerned about the manual install failure and if that suggest I have something else I need to check. |

Well, if manual install worked and you're getting and error about "not connecting to the backend", how can this be a manual install issue? Did you check the backend log to see if it started w/o errors? As for live tv stopping after an hour and 45 minutes, are you certain you are using R5A15? MythTV 0.17 had issue w/ the live buffering filling. With 0.18, I've left live tv on over night w/o issue. |

Actually, I think I am still using R5A12. I hadn't noticed there had been an update to the package. What I meant about my manual install issue was that it was giving me no errors except when I actually tried to use mythtv, at which point it gave the connect error. The only setting I changed at all from what was suggested was the partition sizes. But if the new version fixes the livetv freeze issue without me needing to change the size of my cache partition, then I will go back to the autoinstall as that seemed to work flawlessly for me other than the freezes. |

R5A15 installed flawlessly and atfer setting the tuner type, my system ran for 9 hours straight on live TV last night (with the 5gb default cache). Excellent work all who were involved in whatever changes were made. |
