| Post subject: | Frontend Only Install/Setup |
I have had a FE/BE running for some time now with very few problems, and have decided to setup a Frontend only system using the Acer AspireRevo r1600. I have read the other post about using the r3600 Revo as a Frontend and Frontend/Backend system(Acer Aspire Revo 3610 with Streamzap) I generated the recovery disk(s) for the Revo system to allow me to restore later if required (most likely never will), then proceeded to install LinHES R6.02 from a CD mounted via a usb connected DVD/CD Rom. I proceed to run through the installation and this is where I get stuck. I am not sure what is required to link the Frontend to the Backend. After installation, and a reboot the system boots. I see the Yellow LinHES splash, see the alt+h option for the help menu, then LinHES just sits on the splash screen. Doing any alt+x to get a terminal, I can check the log file(s), mythfrontend.log it states the following: Code: 2010-04-14 22:01:33.150 mythfrontend version: branches/release-0-22-fixes [23566M] www.mythtv.org

The other errors are for LIRC (no remote connected, yet), and Empty LocalHostName. The empty LocalHostName is/was one of the questions during the installation. I did run into some of the same problems during installation like mention here: My experience with 6.02.00 from a USB stick If anyone could point me in the right direction, or give any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J. |

Did you configure the backend to allow connections from other machines? I think LinHES has an option for that, otherwise you have to make a change to the MySQL settings to listen to the IP address and not to localhost/127.0.0.1. |

I cant recommend strongly enough a diskless frontend pacman -S diskless-legacy /usr/local/bin/config_diskless_frontend.bash then follow the prompts and it should configure everything for you. set your revo to netboot and you are done. |
