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


You're amazing. Thanks again for all your work.

Added a number of updates emphasizing that you need to make (and verify) a complete and current backup before starting an upgrade. Apparently this wasn't clear enough. :?

G'day all,

Not sure if this needs to be added in...


2.4) Restoring your SAMBA setup (If you have a .bz2 for your backup file rather than .gz use jxvf instead of zxvf in the tar command below.):
Code:
mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba.smb.orig
cd /
tar zxvf /myth/backup/savedfiles.tar.gz ./etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/init.d/samba restart
update-rc.d samba defaults


I don't think you can restore the password, so they will need to be reset via smbpasswd.

I'll have to take your word for it. What I know about Samba could be written on a brown paper lunch bag in crayon and still leave room for my favorite cookie recipe. ;-)

My own systems are all Unix, all the time, so my only exposure has been setting it up a couple times for other folks using GUI SysAdmin tools...

You can indeed restore the samba passwords. The file to save and restore is /etc/samba/smbpasswd. If you have tar'ed the entire /etc directory, then the easiest thing to do is extract the entire /etc/samba directory.

Here's a beauty. In the /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend script, restart doesn't work if the daemon is already stopped. The problem is an interaction between line 18
Code:
set -e

and lines 58-59
Code:
         start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --pidfile $RUNDIR/$NAME.pid \
                --chuid $USER --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS

The failure is caused by the fact that lines 58-59 return an error status because no running process was found, and line 18 says "all (untested) errors are fatal"
A quick and dirty fix is to change lines 58-59 to look something like this:
Code:
         start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --pidfile $RUNDIR/$NAME.pid \
                --chuid $USER --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS || : ignore any errors

The text after the "do nothing" command ":" is ignored, but serves to explain why it's there. This also explains our long running problems with the backend not coming up after an upgrade.

I've submitted this for the patcher but it seems to have fallen off the radar. :(

1.4) If your motherboard has the Intel ICH8 chipset, add the the "intelfix" option to enable support for this new chipset. The installer takes care of the rest. For example:
Code:
tv intelfix testcd


I have an Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard which has the ICH9R chipset. Do I need this "intelfix" option?

That would be my guess. Can someone with newer Intel hardware confirm?
