Well after a few dramas I have my system working really well and all my features are back to normal. It is really moving toward a true appliance so great work to everyone. After initial install here is what I had to do. 1: Install samba and configure it via the LinHES config screen. 1.1: Add any extra shares to /etc/samba/smb.conf.foobar and add an include in /etc/samba/smb.conf 2: Edit /etc/sv/lircd/run and add --driver=dvico to second last line. Needed this for my dvico remote. 3: Install x11vnc and add [startup] {/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -noxdamage -passwd XXXXX -display :0 -forever -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg} to /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps. 4: Install sheperd and all its dependencies. Created symlink from /home/mythtv/.shepherd/applications/shepherd/shepherd to /usr/bin/perbin/vendor/tv_grab_au. Configure shepherd for mythfilldatabase. 5: Added xterm -geometry 1x1-0-0 -e to the front of my media player settings to try and get xine to exit cleanly. Still not working 100% 6: Copy mainmenu.xml to /home/mythtv/.mythtv and add program guide to main page. Copy linhes.xml to /home/mythtv/.mythtv and add reboot and shutdown options here. 7: Reconfigure daily database dump via cron daily 8: Restore 5.5 version of my /etc/ntp.conf 9: Modify xorg.conf and port over several 5.5 options for TV out. Moved this setup to the new templates folder. AND thats about it. Up and running but with 2 remaining issues. Xine will not exit cleanly for me and xvmc is really choppy. YIPPEE |

You can also just push the "M" key on your keyboard or equivalent key on your remote for the reboot/shutdown menu. 
For your issues with your remote, etc. please post a bug report on flyspray. |

Weblst, Quote: 4: Install sheperd and all its dependencies. Created symlink from /home/mythtv/.shepherd/applications/shepherd/shepherd to /usr/bin/perbin/vendor/tv_grab_au. Configure shepherd for mythfilldatabase.
How exactly did you do this? When I try to run Shepherd I am getting the following error: Code: ERROR: Mandatory module 'Algorithm::Diff' not found. After some googling I found the package "perl-algorithm-diff-1.1902-1", installed that, then moved onto the next error: Code: ERROR:
Mandatory module 'List::Compare' not found. And this is as far as I got... I have asked for help in this forum - http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19671 but have had no responses. Hope this is not seen as double posting... Any suggestions? Thanks, Al |

@weblst - do you find that you need the -noxdamage switch in your x11vnc command line? |

Not to worry, I have got Shepherd up and running on R6. See http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19671 for what was done. Al |

R6 is very fast compared to my old Mythbuntu 8.04 setup on the same hardware. So far I'm liking it. I agree that VNC should be installed by default or easily turned on. VNC+SSH are invaluable for configuring & administering a MythTV machine (especially one hooked up to a SDTV). I have a couple things things to finish setting up: - setup an NFS folder to share out my recordings to my PopcornHour box. I tried running the mythrename.pl script and it bombed on me. Will investigate that one - setup wake and sleep - the usual music playlists One question, is running mythfilldatabase automatic or do I need to setup a cron entry for it? |

Sorry been out of town for a bit. graysky: Not sure about the -noxdamage switch. I read about it on the wiki. hackmeister: Shepherd generates a cron job automatically if you wish. I run it via the mythtv interface but I am having a few issues with it ATM. albyone: Seems you found the same info I used by the looks. Glad it is working for you it is the best grabber for OZ by a long way. |

I use Shepherd without issue. On my version of R6 VNC was installed by default (I think), I just needed to start it. |

I'm up and running. A couple minor issues but overall good. I talk about it on my blog: http://pdavila.homelinux.org:8080/blog/?p=332 |
