Post subject: | I messed up mythtv groups and need some help! |
Hi, I was trying to get WinMyth working and ended up creating and I think accidentally deleting or changing somehow the mythtv user account and associated properties, permissions, etc. I know this is a problem since now when I reboot the KnoppMyth box the frontend fails to start because it can't connect to the backend. When I log in as mythtv, the command /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start gives me an error something like it "cannot do initgroups() with gid 101". I do not have the exact error message since I had to start the backend as root and then the frontend starts properly so I could record "Lost" tonight! I will post the exact error message if it will help. Any help would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! Andrew Lynch |

Thanks Cesman! I made the changes and report back after the next reboot to see if it works! THANKS! Andrew Lynch PS, "Lost" was awesome! It redeems TV. Not quite as good as "Firefly"... ![]() |

You're welcome. While I do enjoy Lost, I never got into Firefly. |

Cesman, Thanks! Fixed it on first try! Is this thread worth moving to "problems and solutions" forum index? Thanks again! Andrew Lynch |
