After a couple of days of downtime, I finally got my system back up. I had done a major hardware upgrade: http://www.knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=17613. I had to use the 100.14.19 nvidia driver to get the 8500GT running properly. Installed via: install-nvidia-debian 100.14.19 -force On reboot, however, the /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx would remove the tls links and cause x to hang while "initializing glx". (I have had this problem on my other debian systems). Renaming this script so the pointers in rc?.d can't hit it fixed the problem. I still get the c7 respawing issue on boot. Despite reading every thread related to it, I don't know what it means. On a side note, is /home/myth/.lircrc included in the backup scripts? I get: tar: /home/mythtv/.lircrc: Not found in archive tks! [/url] |

Your respawning issue could be that the rc.d script borked your install of the new 100.14.19 driver. Ensure the system startup links for the Knoppmyth nvidia startup scripts are removed and re-install the 100.14.19 driver. Code: # update-rc.d -f <init.d-script-name> remove Try looking thru /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues if you continue to have trouble. As far as /home/myth/.lircrc not being found in your archive goes, that file you're trying to restore is just a symlink to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc. So, try restoring /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc and create a symlink to /home/mythtv/.lircrc if you need to. Code: $ ln -s /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc /home/mythtv/.lircrc

Code: cd / tar zxvf /myth/backup/savedfiles.tar.gz ./home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc Please note that there is a dot (period, ...) in front of the path name. The hints and backup/restore how-to are very clear on this point. Quote: All the entries in these lists should start with a "./" followed by the full path name. Tar is going to do an exact match on the name, and without the leading dot it simply doesn't match. List off the contents and you'll also see this... Code: tar ztvf /myth/backup/savedfiles.tar.gz
