*THE* gentoo Media Center

Linux Projects Media Center MythTV Projects

(Editor’s note: More gentoo MythTV installation notes… don’t expect order here, for that, see my wiki…)

OK, all my gear has arrived, I sent back the bad CPU and motherboard and got replacements, everything is humming (very quietly I might add! what a sweet case…), and I’m ready for the final (ha!) gentoo Media Center install.

I’m using this gear:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz Socket 939
MSI K8NGM2-FID
NForce 430
GeForce 6150
8 channel HD audio codec RealTek ALC880 (INTEL)

MythTV clubs me from behind

From the “you mean it’s working??” dept…

Woke up this morning to the latest admin adventure: none of my mysql-driven sites were working. Tail’ed the log and found out I was out of disk space! Well I’ll be damned, the next time I tell MythTV to record every episode of SNL it can find, I’ll be more careful – that was only a couple days ago!

Everything but b2evolution came right back up after cleaning a little space and bouncing mysql. phpMyAdmin showed that mysql was stuck on the posts table. A simple “repair table posts” right in phpMyAdmin, and we’re all better now.
