Post subject:  Stuck after Automatic Install.
After running the automatic install step and rebooting, my system hangs at the following messages:
bttv: driver version 0.7.14 loaded
bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320 total) for capture
bttv: Host bridge is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C597 [Apollo VP3]

Remove the 350. What happens when you boot?
Author:  frustrated [ Wed Jan 07, 2004 10:02 pm ]
Post subject:  I got in :)
I took out the 350 card and I am now in the configuration screen. Do I just go through the configuration and when finished, shutdown, add the card back in and reboot?

Place the 350 back. If you get the same error then my guess is it is because of ivtv and the Via chipset. Some Via chipsets are problematic w/ ivtv. You can try updating ivtv and see it that helps, if not I have nothing else I can think of at the moment. Follow the directions on updating ivtv that I've posted.

ARRRRGGG... I hate VIA... Looks like I will have to try to update ivtv. Im still a newbie to Linux - it seems like it can never be easy:) Thanks, ill let you know how it goes.

Can you post a link to your instructions for updating ivtv. I cant seem to find them.

You're welcome. Best of luck.

Doh!!! Cant find you instructions on updating ivtv. Could you post a link to it.

To update ivtv would I just do:
#apt-get update
#apt-get install ivtv

WOHOO!!! Looks like updating the ivtv drivers for the via situation worked. I was able to boot with the PVR 350 card installed. Thank you.

Can you tell me if what I did below was correct?
1) Booted up with the knoppmyth cd and exited to the console prompt.
2) Used lynx to download the driver to /:
lynx http://www.kernel.org/pb/linux/kernel/p ... .12.tar.gz
2) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
3) cd /mnt/hda1/usr/local/lib
4) tar xvf /ivtv-031125A-0.12.tar.gz
5) This is were I hope I did not screw up. I did not think to chroot /mnt/hda1:
cd ivtv/driver
make
make install
6) Now I did a chroot /mnt/hda1
7) cd /usr/local/lib/ivtv/utils
make
reboot


Did I screw anything up by not doing chroot before I did the make and make install in the ivtv/driver directory?

If it works great! But I don't see why you did it that way and not how the instructions stated. I suppose the way you did it was ok, but you should have chrooted after mount.

Darn. I did not notice that I could open an xterm using the mouse when I boot into the blank desktop.

I now seem to be having the same problem as the person in the following link: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... enied+user

After I boot, for a couple seconds I see a little window with Static (Im guessing this is supposed to be the screen that will display the video) and then it disappears and I am left with a blank desktop with Mythtv and Xterm as choices in the menu. I checked the mysql.log and I saw the Access denied for user: 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: NO).

I ran the following commands to correct the issue and they ran with no problem:
dpkg -r mythtv-i586-lirc-xvmc
install-i586-l

When I restart the system I still get the blank screen :(. Should I look in any specific log?

I looked at the mythtvbackend.log and still see the Access denied for user : 'mythtv@localhost' (Using password: NO).

Here is the log:

Take a look at /user/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
The password shoudl be:q2dUSRDq
If it isn't make it so and restart the backend(/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart).

Strange the file /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt is not there. Do I just create the file with just that password in it?

I found the file in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt with the password you specified. Do I copy this one over to /usr/share/mythtv or does the missing file mean that I did not install something correctly?

You can use vi, the file should look like this:
Code:
DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg

# Set the following if you want to use something other than the
# machine's real hostname for identifying settings in the database.
# This is useful if your hostname changes often, as otherwise
# you'll need to reconfigure mythtv (or futz with the DB) every time.
# TWO HOSTS MUST NOT USE THE SAME VALUE
#
#LocalHostName=my-unique-identifier-goes-here
DBPassword=q2dUSRDq
