| Post subject: | Complete Noob Problem. Now, how to recover? |
I have been running happily on Knoppmyth R5F27 (on Debian GNU 4.0/Etch) for a good long time. Everything has been operating well. My kids get to record their Mythbusters. Life is good. Tonight, though, I tried to make things better. And that was the mistake. I read that we could use our PS3 to watch videos on Hulu. But, I needed a kind of proxy server or something to mask that I was using the PS3 browser. So, I thought I would install squid on the myth box. I first tried apt-get install squid But, that didn't quite work. So, at a friend's suggestion, I ran: apt-get update Which had problems, too. Still, being a noob, I reran the apt-get install squid and a bunch of stuff came down. It has problems, too. So, I turned back to apt-get update and realized there was a problem in sources.list. I updated it to have a more current repository and received the update. Then I realized that the apt-get for squid was pulling down resources for Debian GNU Linux 5.0. I struggled trying to kill the install for Squid. Failed. And then rebooted just to see if I have problems. And I do. Mythbackend won't start. The command to do so produces a segmentation fault. Ditto for mythfrontend and mythtv-setup. I don't know what to do. Can someone help me roll this back to a stable setup of Etch? If you want to see my (rather unclean) attempt to install squid and update the system you can look at http://www.franksandbebes.com/iamanoob/ ... _squid.txt Thanks much, Gary |

Gary -- Do you have a recent backup of your myth database? (You know, "database backup" in the KnoppMyth menu.) Is your KM box a typical installation with all the Linux parts on its own partition? Then all you need to do is reinstall KM and restore your database, and you should be mythbusting again. Joe B. |

Even if you don't have a backup, you can recover by copying the raw db files. I was able to do this a few years back. Have you gotten things resolved? |
