Well decided to bite the bullet and do the upgrade. First I ran the backup from the menu before I started.
I booted from the CD told it to do the upgrade and go!

During the upgrade process it said something like "configuring system" which I thought was odd but then finished and told me to reboot.

After the reboot it looked pretty good but I noticed I had errors on several tuners. It turns out that "some script" added three additional tuners for my HDHomerun Prime, and another for the HD-5500 I have installed in the system. I ended up deleting all the tuners, then started to add them and noticed they were not listed where they should be in \dev\v4l.

I ssh'd into the box to check some things, I looked in /etc/udev/rules.d and my 10-local.rules was gone. Sooo when I went to get a copy of that from /root and noticed that all the files were gone.
expept for the one's listed below.
Code:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  116 Oct 14 08:30 .bash_profile
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  826 Oct 14 08:30 .automated_script.sh
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Oct 14 08:30 .post_process.old
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   32 Oct 27 14:17 .install_size
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 5526 Oct 27 14:18 install.txt
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Nov  1 15:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov  1 15:54 .config
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov  1 15:54 .mythtv
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   16 Nov  1 18:19 test
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Nov  1 19:04 .
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   44 Nov  1 19:05 .profile
-rw-------  1 root root 1279 Nov  1 19:05 .bash_history
Is there a way to restore the files from /root from the a backup?
I recreated 10-local.rules rebooted again then reconfigured all the tuners.

At this point most everything was working except for my HDPVR. I couldn't get the blaster working.

I got the following entry in dmesg when I use the irsend command to the blaster
Code:
[  431.980820] i2c i2c-4: Direct firmware load failed with error -2
[  431.980832] i2c i2c-4: Falling back to user helper

[ 1147.558586] lirc_zilog: firmware haup-ir-blaster.bin not available (-2)

I found this
Code:
Yeah, you're missing /lib/firmware/haup-ir-blaster.bin, has to be manually added to the system.

Apparently is was included in 8.1 but it's not on the 8.2 ISO. I found a copy of it here:
Code:
http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/lmilk/haup-ir-blaster.bin
EDIT -  also available using " pacman -S zilog-firmware "

I've also noticed that I don't get the "colors" in the root account. I tried a .profile and
a .bashrc files with
Code:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'

but couldn't get it to work on login. If I log in as the mythtv user it works as there is .bashrc in that user directory.

Any thoughts on how to make this work?

Thanks.

One other note: Non of my installed extras were installed either, ie xbmc, webmin, handbrake

autocard.py is the script that ran to detect and create static dev nodes for your tuners. The results for your system are found at http://ip.of.your.box under System --> Tuners. If you use these nodes you don't need readd your udev rules.

/root is not included in the system backup.

Do you have any idea what package the firmware was a part of in R8.1?

If you create a /etc/bashrc file all your settings should be available in all accounts unless you override them with ~/.bashrc.

Looks like the firmware is part of the zilog-firmware package.
Code:
pacman -S zilog-firmware
