Set the hostname override below only if you want to use
something other than the machine’s real hostname for identifying settings
in the database. This is useful if your hostname changes often, as
otherwise you’ll need to reconfigure mythtv every time.

MythTV Database Restore Script
mythconverg_restore.pl
version: 1.0.13
root@hippo:/home/iso$

Note usage of these options:

–drop_database

If specified, and if the database already exists, the script will attempt
to drop the database. This argument may only be used when the
–create_database argument is also specified (see below).

–create_database

If specified, and if the database does not exist or the –drop_database
argument is specified, the script will attempt to create the initial
database. Note that database creation requires a properly configured MySQL
user and permissions.  See, also, the MythTV HOWTO (
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ ) for details on “Setting up the initial
database.”

There are many users posting reports about this problem and I could not find any real resolutions… Here is a good example:

http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8048972

I think this is what fixed it on my system (I did not take real notes about this):

Uninstall libvdpau

Uninstall nvidia drivers (if any)

Reinstall nvidia drivers

Reinstall libvdpau.

Note UDMA/66. But according to this link:

http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/262

my card does not support DMA.

So first go here:

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

search for “CF”. And disable DMA altogether like this:

Add libata.dama=0 in this file:

root@ismo:~# cat /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
libata.dma=0
root@ismo:~#

and reboot:

root@ismo:~# dmesg |grep command

hdparm test gives me this:

root@ismo:~# hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:

If you dont have DMA disabled with this CF card you’ll get very slow boot up times since Linux kernel keeps probing CF card for DMA quite some time:

Remember to run update-grub after making chnages.

On the machine you’re running mysql (typically the same machine as your MythTV master backend server), you need to allow mysql connections from other hosts on your network.

$ mysql -u root -p mythconverg
mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.2.%" identified by "mythtv";

There is very simple solution. You just need to replace fuse in cartridge.

See this thread for details. Search for “radio” or “fuse”.

I needed to get Linux FW distro that supports CUPS out of the box and more specifically CUPS with Samsung ML-2510 support.

I used to run IPcop as firewall and then CUPS on Ubuntu box. So some HW consolidation was needed…

After quite extensive research I found ClarkConnect Community Edition firewall that supports out of a box CUPS. I think it is the only one?

CUPS support on ClarkConnect is not well documented and Samsung PPD file from my working Ubuntu based CUPS print server did not work at all.

After spending couple of days on this here is how to get it to work (I may have missed some steps in this writeup):

For Samsung printers you need download and build Splix on ClarkConnect (apparently my Ubuntu had these files included.):

http://splix.sourceforge.net/

SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers. If you have a such printer, you need to download and use SpliX.

From Splix INSTALL file:

If you're using a distribution with a real package manager you need to
install the cups developement package (libcups...-devel or something like that).
To finish the libjbig is needed if the JBIG algorithm compilation isn't
disabled.

Summary:
* CUPS
* libcups
* libjbig (If the JBIG algorithm compilation isn't disabled)


So first disable JBIGLIB in module.mk in splix src files (I could not get to compile otherwise):


# module.mk (C) 2007-2008, Aurélien Croc (AP²C)
#
# Compilation file for SpliX
#
# Options: DISABLE_JBIG
# DISABLE_THREADS
# DISABLE_BLACKOPTIM
# Compilation option:
# V=1 Verbose mode
# DESTDIR=xxx Change the destination directory prefix

MODE := optimized

SUBDIRS += src
TARGETS := rastertoqpdl pstoqpdl
PRE_GENERIC_TARGETS := optionList

# Default options
THREADS ?= 2
CACHESIZE ?= 30
DISABLE_JBIG ?= 1 (<======= set this to one (1) to disable
DISABLE_THREADS ?= 0
DISABLE_BLACKOPTIM ?= 0

My ClarkConnect details:


[root@firewall splix-2.0.0]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version: :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description: CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
Release: 5.3
Codename: Final
[root@firewall splix-2.0.0]#


I built splix on Ubuntu box since ClarkConnect does not come with full dev tools and just tarred up splix folder and scp’ed it to my ClarkConnect box.

Before “make install” works on ClarkConnect you need to install cups-devel (make install needs cups-config):

As root run on ClarkConnect:

yum install cups-devel

My CUPS rpms:


[root@firewall cups]# rpm -qa|grep -i cups
cups-1.3.7-8.3.v5
app-cups-5.0-10
cups-devel-1.3.7-8.3.v5
cups-libs-1.3.7-8.3.v5
[root@firewall cups]#


Then “make install” as root in splix subdir on firewall.

make -n install showed here for reference:

[root@firewall splix-2.0.0]# make -n install
mkdir -p `cups-config --serverbin`/filter
echo " INSTALL optimized/rastertoqpdl"
install -m 755 -s optimized/rastertoqpdl `cups-config --serverbin`/filter

For Samsung ML2510 make sure you have these files after splix install:


[root@firewall splix-2.0.0]# locate 2510
/model/samsung/ml2510.ppd
/model/samsung/ml2510fr.ppd
/model/samsung/ml2510pt.ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/samsung/ml2510.ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/samsung/ml2510fr.ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/samsung/ml2510pt.ppd
[root@firewall splix-2.0.0]#


In /etc/cups/mime* files make sure octet-stream is ENABLED:


[root@firewall cups]# grep octet *
mime.convs:application/octet-stream application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
mime.types:application/octet-stream
[root@firewall cups]#


Now with CUPS web interface configure ML2510 like this:


samsung (Default Printer)
Description: upstairs Samsung ML2510
Location: upstairs
Printer Driver: Samsung ML-2510, SpliX V. 2.0.0
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, published.
Device URI: usb://Samsung/ML-2510%20Series


Enable Windows networking (Samba) in ClarkConnect with printers support. (Steps not shown here).

This is fairly good reference on Samba printers:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/SambaPrintHOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection-3.0-PrintingChapter-11th-draft.pdf

You also need dummy Samba username to be able to connect to printers shared over Samba to Windows users in your home network. (I could not get CUPS IPP based printer to work on Windows clients).

In ClarkConnect Windows Networking Global settings screen set

Printing RAW (other options Disable and Point and Click)

Here are my working smb.conf and cups.conf files. They may not be optimal but they are working.

Make sure CUPS is “driving” Samba printing in smb.conf:
