I'm trying to follow along with
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... LinuxHOWTO

But I can't seem to get the tftpd running...

This is killing me! Suggestions?

/etc/inetd.conf

Code:

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

Just saw this in the daemon log

Code:

Dec 30 22:28:58 mythtv in.tftpd[4134]: cannot bind to local socket: Address already in use

It doesn't appear to try to boot remotely...

Code:

Dec 30 22:34:59 mythtv dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0d:fe:07:7d:4a via eth0
Dec 30 22:34:59 mythtv dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.7 to 00:0d:fe:07:7d:4a via eth0
Dec 30 22:34:59 mythtv dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.7 (192.168.0.3) from 00:0d:fe:07:7d:4a via eth0
Dec 30 22:34:59 mythtv dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.7 to 00:0d:fe:07:7d:4a via eth0

.7 is the MediaMVP

I undid my changes, and it's still locking up trying to watch live tv...great...just great.

And I can't find anything in the logs...

But since this is a new problem, if you can help, I started a new topic

Did You get your MVP working or did you give up on that for now? I had a heck of a time getting MVPMC to work but once I got it it works great. There are different version of MediaMVP, mine is H3. H3 gets it's IP from the dhcp server on my router then looks for a boot server. To get it to work I have to setup MVPboot or MVPrelay.
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/relay+service
My /etc/inetd.conf (should be 2 lines)

Code:

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp      dgram   udp   wait   root   /usr/sbin/tcpd   /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -p -T 10000000 -a 192.168.0.120:16869 -s /tftpboot
tftp2      dgram   udp   wait   root   /usr/sbin/tcpd   /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -p -T 10000000 -a 192.168.0.120:69 -s /tftpboot

Can't remember exactly why I had to setup on 2 ports but I think it was something like it asked on one port then booted from another. Had to setup NFSexport as per wiki. Also remember something about H3 had to boot from dongle.bin not mvp.dongle.bin and linking files didn't work to wel you had to rename it.

Hope some of this might be helpful.

On the bottom of the unit there is a sticker. Mine says "Model 86019 rev H3 lot 1007"

Here's a link to a D3A showing the sticker. My unit looks the same but has a SPDIF connector and the remote is a little different.

I got an H3 as well...really wish I knew what I messed up to break live tv though when I tried to get it working before!

Hi. Not sure if you got your MVP to boot but I finally found my notes that I took while setting up mine. Thought I'd post it here so I can find it easier next time. it's a mixture of stuff from mvpmc.org and the knoppmythwiki.

Code:

cpan
cpan> install Net::Interface

Had some issues with that one. Kept getting errors and couldn't solve them. Used a -force and it seems to be working

Code:

wget http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/mvpboot
cp mvpboot /usr/local/bin/mvpboot
chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/mvpboot
wget http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/mvpboot.init
cp mvpboot.init /etc/init.d/mvpboot
chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/mvpboot
/etc/init.d/mvpboot start
update-rc.d mvpboot defaults

Edit /etc/exports
Change from

Code:

/myth *(rw)

Code:

/myth *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

Edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
Change from

Code:

RUN_DAEMON="no"

Code:

RUN_DAEMON="yes"

Edit /etc/inetd.conf

Code:

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp            dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -p -T 10000000 -a 192.168.0.120:16869 -s /tftpboot
tftp2           dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -p -T 10000000 -a 192.168.0.120:69 -s /tftpboot

Edit /etc/services

Code:

tftp2           69/tcp          
tftp2           69/udp          
tftp            16869/tcp       
tftp            16869/udp

Start nfs

Code:

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
update-rc.d nfs-kernel-server defaults
update-rc.d nfs-common defaults

Setup tftpboot and get dongle.bin

Code:

mkdir /tftpboot
cd /tftpboot
wget http://www.mvpmc.org/builds/dongle.bin.mvpmc-latest
mv dongle.bin.mvpmc-latest dongle.bin
dd if=dongle.bin of=dongle.bin.ver bs=1 count=40 skip=52
chmod 777 *

Create dongle.bin.config file containing

Code:

rdate -s 192.168.0.120
echo '192.168.0.120  mythtv  mythtv' >> /etc/hosts
mkdir /video
/etc/nfsmount.sh 192.168.0.120:/myth/tv/ /video
/bin/echo "Test Log" >/video/test.log
/bin/mvpmc -M -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.0.120 -c 192.168.0.120 -a 4:3 -m nt
sc -r /video --web-port 80 -D 192.168.0.120:0 >>/video/test.log &

I think that was about it. I rebooted cause I'm not sure what all I'd have to restart to have the changes take effect. Good luck!
Warren.
