Post subject:  Errors durring install

during installs of R5A15 and A16 i have been getting errors during install. Something like;
"can not create file" or "file not found."
this seems to make my video and dvd encoding files end up in werid places. some i have figured out how to correct, others i have not.

the copy part of the install is fine, then when during the automated setup it kicks out errors that scroll down the screen and then disappear telling me the install was successful.

I have searched the forums for " install errors" and "can not create file" with out any results. I might have missed something.

I thought it might be my dvd drive. so i replaced it ( something i wanted to do anyway) and it is still acting up. There are fewer of the error lines now than there were in A15.
the MD5 checks out.
Could it be my HD?

there are still some errors in the install script they are normal and harmless. Unless you get cloop errors or it says install failed it should be ok. maybe you should search on the actual problems you are having.

I noticed the same thing on A16. After the install (on two different machines from 3 different burns of the media from 2 different mirrors :P ) I had to create a folder called /root/.qt and change the permissions or mythtv-backend wouldn't start. I'm not sure what else is wrong after the install, but things seem to work more or less for me now.

Later,
Gonz

Im still having the same problems, even with the new R5A22.
Is there a log file that i can pull up that would show me what files, or more specifically what folders could not be created during the install? I think it is messing with my dvd rip, transcode, NUV export, and mythwebburn. I have had the same problem since the mid R4's and have not found a work around or answer for it.

X stated all there is to state on this subject. Stating I think installation is messed because X, Y and Z porgrams aren't working isn't stating much... Without details, no one can say yes, that is a problem, this is the solution. If one has to change permissions for the backend to run, something is very wrong with that install. If one just follows the instructions, things should just work (knock on wood ;) )...

that is my problem. the errors flash quickly on the screen, overwriting each other then are gone with the restart screen. I am trying to track down the specific problems that is why i asked if there is a log that i can use to find the text to search with. I think that linux keeps logs for everything, i just need to know where they are and how to get to them. my machine runs just has a few little issues that i am trying to track down.

there are several errors that flash by on a good install, they are harmless. Normally if it's a real error it will stop things. You really need to give a description of the problems you are having before we can help. at any rate logs are kept in /var/log things to check out are /var/log/messages /varl/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and maybe /home/mythtv/.xsession-errors

Creating SSH" DSA Key: this maysed: can't read /tmpmount: wrong fs type, bad option,

bad superblock on /dev/loop0 or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scasi so that sr0 or sda or

so is needed?)

i had to resort to taking pictures of my screen to get that info. i could only get bits and pieces, but that looks like the ones.


So now for the 2000 dollar question, what do they mean? are they harmless, should i be looking else ware for the fixes to my problems?

thank you guakala for tracking them down.

I'm seeing these kind of errors on the R5B7 install, i only ssem to get them when i am installing with my Avermedia Hybrid DVB card in the box, (and so it loads the dvb modules - might not be the actual reason it fails but it seems fairly consistant, when i remove the card and install the machine i dont get the errors and the endof the install).
