Hi,
I managed to make myself a bit of time this afternoon, instead of writing finishing chapter 5 of my dissertation.
Any how, I must appolagise in advance to all those people I've been inadvertently bugging about MythWelcome and wakeup to record.

Today, I unplugged my usual two hard drives, stuck in a spare one I had kicking around and did a fresh install. I followed what marc.aronson said here:
Quote:
1. Modify /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh to not update the hardware clock during a shutdown. You can do this by adding the line ' HWCLOCKACCESS="no" ' just before the last line of the script which currently reads ' hwclocksh "$@" '

2. Set your bios to wake up at 23:59:59 on July 31st. If you don't have a month or day field, then don't worry about setting those parameters. No matter what, set the hour/min/seconds as I have indicated.

3. As root execute "set_timer 1 120". Note that the use of set_timer is a one time event. You will not use it again.

4. As root execute "shutdown -h now"

5. Wait a bit more than 2 minutes.

6. Manually power your machine up.

7. Now try setting your wakeup time using the published method. At this point it works for me.

8. If it didn't work in step 7, go back into your bios, disable the wakeup event and try steps 6 & 7 again.

9. If it still doesn't work, then my apologies for suggesting something that didn't help. This does work on my ASUS P5P800 mobo.


I reran mythwelcome-test.sh and the mythbox did not wake up. To cut a long story short, it appears that the set_timer 1 120 actually reset my system date to 31 July 2005.
Once I'd rectified that, magically the Mythwelcome-test.sh script worked.

Without further ado, I tried to follow the wiki on how to set it up to work full time.

Unfortunately when I make the modifications to /usr/local/bin/KnoppMyth-run and uncommented CMD2='exec mythwelcome', all I get is Mythwelcome and I cannot get back into Mythfrontend.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks Chris

The other thing that is happening is the countdown timer keeps resetting itself. If I turn it off via the popup menu, it shuts down and comes back up for the next recording. This is looking promising, but still buggy.

Hi tophee,

I had this problem with the countdown timer: it misteriously said mythtv is idle, then mythtv will shutdown in 15 seconds, then 10, then 5 and then 15 again and so on forever so not shuting down automatically!

I changed my settings under mythtv-setup and mythwelcome -setup to those recomended by graysky on his how to, and this fixed it. But tzoom84 is reporting the same problem now and I'm still trying to think what is causing this problem:

Hi tophee,

I think the key setting under mythtv-setup -> general -> shutdown/wakeup options is to untick the setting "Block remote shutdown before client connected" if you don't have any remote frontends as I think this is what was causing to cycle repeatedly. Follow graysky's good advice:

I'll make sure that that box isn't checked! I still need to find an hour to get mythwelcome up and running, but in advance - Thanks.

Chris
