OK so I have a few questions regarding my setup and from reading a lot of other posts I can tell that posting the errors in dmesg would probably help a lot. So I know how to write dmesg to a file like this:

dmesg > boot.messages

But now how do I get boot.messages onto this forum? I can think of several possibilities but I am wondering if there is a really easy way I am not thinking of.

1) Copy boot.messages to a floppy, floppy to machine with browser etc.
2) Use the Web option in mythtv to navigate to this site then try to cut and paste.
3) Somehow e-mail the file to myself.
4) Copy the file from my KnoppMyth box to a machine with browser etc.

What do most people do? I am relatively new to Linux/Unix so some of the basic things are pretty hard to figure out especially when it comes to figuring out the best way to do something.

Thanks,

From a computer with a web browser, I would use SSH to access the KnoppMyth box and copy and paste the output. If your web browser machine is a Windoh's machine see: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=RemoteAccessfromWindows
for info on how to accomplish this.

Do you use ssh on that box? If so you can copy/paste parts pretty easily. If you wanna dump the whole file, simply get samba up and running, then copy your text file of interest to your /home/myth and get it that way (from windows simply do a \\mythv\myth and you'll connect. You can replace the word mythtv with the hostname of your myth box or you can also use its IP addy like this \\192.168.1.105\myth

Thanks Mike,

I did get SSH and PuTTy working.

Hi,

For those that only have one computer (or like myself, lazy), I install firefox, add a key so an alt w brings up the browser at any time. It does take away from the purity of KM as a DVR only however I like to have all my tools in one box
