Hi,

Just done a manual install of R5B7 (from an old R5A22 inst) and I now get the following when trying to run mythfilldatabase:

2006-03-30 11:42:07.476 Using runtime prefix = /usr

I have tried searching with no luck! I performed a backup (basically followed 'Some Hints for upgrading to R5B7') manual install (due to SATA, well Pundit-r sata anyway) retrieved some files from /etc, and the xmltv file, and did a restore.

I did do a apt-get install firefox though....

Now everything seems to work except for the above!

Advice please

Well I have been posting blood curdling warnings about that for a reason...

Have you tried logging in as the mythtv user and running mythfilldatabase by hand with the --verbose option to see if you can get a more detailed error message?

Other than pursuing that type of troubleshooting my advice is going to be to re upgrade to R5B7 and then avoid playing with apt-get install since it's a really risky proposition at the moment. There's already a browser built into MythTV after all.

Yeah I know!



Yup:

Thought you would suggest that! No, probs I kinda guessed where this would be going when the search turned up no results!!

I know there's a browser built in I just like my FireFox when i'm messing around on the console! Guess compiling would be fine?

If no-one has any bright idea's i'll wipe and start over this evening.

Cheers, Graham

Well if you are just talking about firefox you don't even have to compile. there are linux binaries, though you still have to download them outside of apt to be safe.

Hmmm,

Well I have done a complete format/re-install (re-partition to remove cache as well ) and I still have the same problem

All I have done is re-install, restore, download firefox tar, run ati driver install, replace XFree86-4/fstab/modules...

myisamchk runs fine.

Any ideas??

Right, it appears there is an issue with xmltv and perl:

[ 1440322 ] tv_grab_uk_rt option processing broken with new Getopt::Long

The bug is listed here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=424135&aid=1440322&group_id=39046

Along with a patch to apply. I have applied it tonight and am currently running mythfilldatabase.

Hope this helps someone!!

Regards, Graham

Argh... Sorry... I didn't catch the "tv_grab_uk_rt" bit.

A word to the wise, if you're outside the "NTSC-M/zap2it zone" you may want to ring a bell or something on this kind of question. Especially if you're relatively new ... Setting at least minimal "Location:" info in the profile can be very helpful.

that patched fixed it for me, thanks.

Um, How do I "apply" this .patch file?

Any chance of a hint?

Im sure its not that much of a secret...

Use the 'patch' command

'man patch' in a shell to figure out how

Go to line 108 of the file /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt - it is the section in the patch.
In this case the patch is telling you the fixed /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt has two
lines that are different from broken /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt. The differences
between the files are denoted by lines starting with "-" and "+".

Pico or nano both are easy to use editors that you can use for fixing your file.

if you download the patch and look at it, this what you will see:

Thanks MAC. I manualy edited the file, and it seems to match exactly what the patch said, but now it crashes.

When Myth tries to run the script after setting up a source in "Video Sources" it goes instantly to "50%" then locks up forever.

If I run tv_grab_uk_rt from a shell, it seems to run ok, at least i get a load of messages about channels and it didnt lock up.

Don't know why its not working for you. I don't use this grabber, so..

while its stuck at 50% open a shell (remotely over ssh, or an xterm locally) and
run "ps auxwww|grep grab"

you should see the command line for that script.

Try running the command from a shell with same command line to see if you get errors or
clues as to why it is hanging. The first number in that line is the PID of the process.
you can also run "strace -p <PID>" to look for clues also. If strace is not installed do
apt-get update
apt-get install strace

If the apt-get install wants do a ton of junk, post back before you tell it go ahead so that
you can get feedback, apt-get install can hose things up good if your not careful.

Ok, I got the command,

xxxxxx 4173 4.4 5.5 15888 14088 ttyp1 S+ 11:03 0:01 /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file /root/.mythtv/TV.xmltv --configure

I tried running it manualy and got this,

Do you wish to overwrite the old configuration? [yes,no (default=no)]


Does that mean that the 50% hang is actualy waiting for input?

I fiddled with running it manualy before and got a question about adding channels,
ABC1 do you wish to add this channel (yes,no,all) ?

I can run it from command line and get a huge xml file with all the channels, but ive not managed to find how to import this back into the database yet
