| Post subject: | Can't shutdown/reboot diskless frontend from menu |
Using Greg Frost's diskless-legacy package (which is great, BTW), I've set up a diskless* frontend in another room. Things are working well so far, however, I've noticed that I cannot shutdown or reboot the frontend from the MythTV menu (the one you get by pressing "m"). I looked at the frontend log and I notice that whenever I try to shutdown from that menu, I get the following errors: Code: chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
init: fatal: unable to create /etc/runit/stopit: access denied The first one indicates an error switching to a virtual terminal, and the second I'm guessing is some kind of permissions error? Both shutdown and reboot work from this menu on my combined MBE/FE, and the ownership and permissions of all files in the /etc/runit directory are identical on both machines. Also, the mythtv users on both machines have the same UID. Any thoughts? * Well it was supposed to be diskless, but it turns out that the network card doesn't have a PXE boot rom... solution is to boot gPXE using a floppy disk! I actually stuck the whole floppy drive inside the machine so it won't accidentally get ejected or otherwise messed up. |

In the mythtv setup general options somewhere the commands for reboot and shutdown are specified. Make sure they say "sudo /sbin/reboot" and "sudo /sbin/halt" instead of just reboot and halt. |
