I don't know which one you should install for your card. I have an older card FX5200 and pacman -Qs shows
Code:
local/nvidia-96xx 96.43.09-5
    NVIDIA legacy drivers for kernel26, 96xx branch
local/nvidia-96xx-utils 96.43.09-1
    NVIDIA legacy drivers utilities and libraries, 96xx branch.

After installing nvidia-96xx and nvidia-96xx-utils, i now boot into the frontend.

My screen resolution and colors are off, so i suppose that's an xorg.conf setting that i need to play with.

frontend still cant connect to backend...

It is recommended that you do a pacman -Syu before doing anything else with pacman. I think that might have resolved your dependencies without having to remove anything. I'm not sure, but removing them may not have been the right thing to do.

If things aren't quite right, you can always do the autoupgrade again, then do the pacman -Syu and see how things are, and then get the nvidia drivers if it still needs them.

i forgot to add that before i did anything pacman related, i did indeed run pacman -Syu.

the dependancies are drivers to video cards that i do not use.

If everything looks washed over with magenta and the resolution is clipped on right right side of the screen. What should I look at? xorg.conf?

frontend is now connected to the backend. I can get to my recorded shows and watch them.

I cannot watch live tv. My tuners are setup but when i go to "watch tv", the screen flashes and dumps me back to the main frontend screen.

I don't know about the color and clipping problem.

As for live tv, maybe the tuners aren't working right. Can you setup a short recording and then watch that?

Maybe this is a wild goose chase, king, but I had a problem with the installation not guessing at my xorg.conf very well either.

My solution -- since the installation program actually HAD gotten a good xorg.conf, I booted that, went to a console, and copied that xorg.conf to a safe place. Then after the installation, I blew away the bogus one with that, and used it as a starting point to get everything going correctly.

wow that's a great idea B!

***UNFORTUNATELY*** in a fit of fustration last night, I attempted to rerun the install from CD again.

Murphy came around and now the R6 install hangs during installation. I get in big fat font on the screen:

FAILED

Sysconfig.


So...Anyone have tips on where I can go from here? I REALLY dont want to lose my recordings :/

A couple of thoughts --

1) As long as you have the actual recordings, and the database backup someplace, re-importing these into a clean R6 install is easy-mode. Google manually backing up a recording database to see the mysql syntax for that. It might be a good idea to at least get these to a safe place in case your system devolves to a point where you have no other choice than a clean install.

2) If you have problems with the MythVantage installer leaving you that not-so-fresh feeling, I posted a few hints in this thread (http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20410) about how to use the scripts which actually do the nitty-gritty work. They're complicated, and my thread is HINTS, not full documentation. Obviously, for instance, you don't want to tell the script to do a full install if you haven't backed up your database yet. If you have programming knowledge, you may be able to use the more complete output from the script to figure out where it's failing.

If you decide to try #2, but can't figure out what exactly you need to do, I might be able to help, but the scripts aren't available for me to browse online, so I can't look through anything at this minute.

Thanks B.

I did not know that all i needed was the sql db and the recordings. I have mysql and programming experience and have another hard drive i can probably swap in to do a full install. I think I will try going down this route and see if the full install resolves the xorg.conf issues I've been having.
