To fix the gray remote, read marc.aronson's reply.

TJC, shall I write up a list of things handled by R5F27's patcher? In some cases, R5F27 problems can be fixed by running LivePatch.sh. It'll reduce the scope of the documentation and fix some problems faster.

Sounds like a heck of a plan to me. :-D I still owe you two fixes to be included, one for setup_apcupsd.sh and another for restore_fixups.sh, I'll try to get those in the mail RSN.

OBTW - graysky I think you mean "marc.aronson"

As always, thank you for the great write up TJC! my upgrade from R5D1 went smooth as a hot razor through butter.

Now I just need to get a ethernet link to my ZFS server for backups and more storage. :)

tjc,
The 7.4 MythArchive "archiveitems" tips also applies to R5D1.
Thanks for creating such a great resource.

For people using ACPI wakeups you may need to re-modify /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh so that your wakeup times don't get cleared during shutdown.

I've given the Troubleshooting page on the wiki (linked in my signature below) a major overhaul.

One of the things that got added are links to little pages of basic directions for manually running most of the standalone scripts used by the Phase 2 setup. Please go forth and improve them and add any missing ones.

Add me in as a third Packard Bell remote that doesn't work, on one of my Frontends.

Do we need to start a new thread for solving this?

I believe the Packard Bell remote uses the lirc_gpio module. Due to changes in V4L/DVB, the module is broken. I may eventually be dropped from LIRC all together. Take a gander at this thread to see if you can get the remote working. Post details when you get this resolved. This should be in a seperate thread in the appropriate area of the forum. Hint & Tips isn't a scratchpad for working out issue.

I don't know if there is more than one PB remote, but mine is a serial receiver. All I needed to do was to rerun lirc-reconfig(?) and re-find the correct lirc config files in the forum. (Note: I use a Harmony 525 remote, not the standard PB remote with its receiver.)

would it be worthwhile to start a sticky thread that lists the fixes in the patcher.. and a link to the thread that discusses them. useful as patches are to fix really common problems.. therefore common requests for help on the forum.

Good idea, and I owe TJC this info, too. See http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... 9719#99719 for updates. Maybe today.

Using the checkbackup.sh from the referenced wiki page, I initially got a message about file not found... figured it's bzip vs. gzip that tjc describes as trivial modification...

I got stuck on this for a while because while that script as is good practice defines variables at the top for the major command arguments. It doesn't use them in all places. I'm a big boy tho, and did eventually figure it out.

I still get this message from checkbackup.sh:
Comparing live versus saved tables...
26c26
< mythlog 43
---
> mythlog 42

Warning, table lists are not identical!

I do notice that every time I run this process the numbers for mythlog go up by one and they are always different by one so maybe this is something that gets touched during the backup and I shouldn't worry about it?

Don't worry about it. It's a known behavior. If you go look at the message you'll find it's something like the FE complaining that it lost it's connection to the BE. The current scripts actually ignore differences for that table.

I've also updated the checking script on the wiki to correct the oversight you noted.
