Post subject:  MythTV 0.22 for LinHES R6 (TESTING)
The LinHES testing package repo has moved over to MythTV 0.22-fixes as the standard mythtv package.

Before following the instructions in this post, make sure you are ready to run and test the non-stable development branch of LinHES. If not, stop here and do not continue.

First, you need to make sure your /etc/pacman.conf points to the proper place.

Code:
#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here.
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#
#[core]
#Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core

#[extra]
#Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra


[core-testing]
Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core-testing

[extra-testing]
Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra-testing


Stop everything:
Code:
sudo sv stop frontend
sudo sv stop mythbackend
sudo killall mythfrontend
sudo killall xinit


Remove old packages:
Code:
sudo pacman -R mythcontrols mythsmolt mythstream mythappletrailers
sudo pacman -R mythtv-svn mythtv-extras-svn
sudo pacman -Rd vdpinfo


Install new packages:
Code:
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S mythtv
sudo pacman -S morethemes mytharchive mythbrowser mythflix  mythgallery mythgame mythmovies mythmusic mythnews myththemes mythvideo mythweather mythweb mythzoneminder
sudo pacman -S mythappletrailers
sudo cp /usr/share/mythtv/is.xml /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu


If you have an NVIDIA video card:
Code:
sudo pacman -S vdpauinfo


If you have a HD-PVR:
Code:
sudo pacman -Sf v4l-dvb


If this is your first time with 0.22, you need to run mythtv-setup.
Code:
mythtv-setup


Start up everything again.
Code:
sudo sv start mythbackend
sudo sv start frontend

Great job, nh! Did you guys chose to go with the dummy vdpau package for those of us with out dated nvidia hardware?
Author:  nharris [ Mon Dec 07, 2009 1:23 pm ]
Post subject: 
Yes, but the libvdpau package not a dummy. It's the actual vdpau shared libraries. They have been separated from the NVIDIA drivers.

The 0.22 mythtv package depends on and compiles against libvdpau. Everything should work fine (sans VDPAU acceleration) even if you do not have an NVIDIA graphics card. In theory other graphic card manufacturers could choose to support VDPAU in the future.

Removing lines 12,13 & 18 from menu-ui.xml and remove the "junk" characters from /usr/share/mythtv/themes/defaultmenu/mainmenu.xml make it happy again.

Got shot down on mythtv trac as "won't fix" as this theme is currently unsupported.

Nathan: Can you include the "beta" Retro-wide theme?

I just loaded it up and it seems pretty stable.

Girkers,

Nothing too bad there (just warnings). I'm not sure about the "perl-time-modules" package. Maybe Cecil can take a look at that. You need to be willing and able to setup and configure zoneminder by hand if you want to use it. It's not too hard really (but I don't currently use it).

Just want to report that this update worked fine on my systems that have been running R6/mythtv-svn for several months now. Plus worked fine on a family members new install.

Thanks for all the hard work Nathan.

Installed it this evening (upgrading from mythtv-svn), seems to be working fine.

Had one minor glitch on the install: During the -Syu I got a bunch of errors about module files owned by both the kernel and v4l-dvb. I removed my existing v4l-dvb (pacman -R v4l-dvb) and retried and then the rest went smoothly.

I shall echo the thanks!

I gave it a whirl, and it looks pretty good. One big change that'll take some getting used to is when I delete the last recording of a title, it goes clear back to "All Programs" instead of just the next one in the list.

Has anybody else run into this?

tfm55x, the reason this is happening is because it's conflicting with the newer Nvidia drivers Do a manual uninstall of nvidia nvidia-utils and vdpauinfo

pacman -Rd nvidia nvidia-utils vdpauinfo

do a pacman -Syu (do all the updates)

then manually reinstall nvidia which should pcik up nvidia-utils and vdpauinfo.

Should get you taken care of.

I'm assuming you follwed the instructions about removing the .22 -svn packages (under Remove old packages) already and you are using the testing repositories.

Post subject:  Re: MythTV 0.22 for LinHES R6 (TESTING)
I started with a clean install from a R6.01 CD. Everything went fine up to:

Code:
sudo pacman -S morethemes mytharchive mythbrowser mythflix  mythgallery mythgame mythmovies mythmusic mythnews myththemes mythvideo mythweather mythweb mythzoneminder


None of the packages installed with the typical error being'

Quote:
morethemes package not found, searching for group...
error: 'morethemes': not found in sync db


mythappletrailers DID install; vdpauinfo did not.

Fearing I was going to have to reinstall anyway, I continued. When I finished, I still had a working FE/BE machine. I'm not sure what it is, though.

Now when I try:
Code:
pacman -Syu


I get:
Quote:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core-testing.db.tar.gz' from knoppmyth.net : Not Found
error: failed to update core-testing (Not Found)
extra-testing is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: gtk2: local (2.16.1-6) is newer than extra-testing (2.14.6-1)
warning: pygobject: local (2.16.0-1) is newer than extra-testing (2.15.4-2)
warning: pygtk: local (2.14.1-1) is newer than extra-testing (2.14.0-1)
local database is up to date


So I really don't know what I have. Since my old FEs can still talk to the database, I suspect it is not 0.22.

Any suggestions?

barkman, I am upgrading my 2 year-old 0.21 box, and am going through this process as well. One thing I realized I did wrong (from my last post) was that I didn't comment out both the tag and the url for both the [core] and [extras] section of my /etc/pacman.conf:

#[core] <--- I omitted the hash on this line
#Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core

#[extra] <--- I omitted the hash on this line
#Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra


[core-testing]
Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/core-testing

[extra-testing]
Server = http://knoppmyth.net/repo/i686/extra-testing

I was having results similar to what you're experiencing. Just a suggestion, as your mileage may vary.

Also I had a libgl conflict when I tried to install vdpauinfo

Per http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60823 I did a pacman -Rd on libgl, and vdpauinfo installed.

Also, am having to fix my database per :
