A while back I made a post about Rsync, well I decided to revisit that post and add a little bit of an update. I now use it like so when backing up my music. It compresses the files and also has a progress bar.

rsync –progress -azruvpe ssh * shelby@192.168.1.2:/mnt/share1/music/

So far it works fine and looks better.

If you want the channel icons on your MythWeb and MythTV you can use the following information to do so. I dont know why this is not included in MythTV .20 but you can grab it via SVN

The newest MythTV install on Ubuntu 6.10 has issues when trying to fetch movie information with the included IMDB Script. The fix is pretty simple, Click more to view the steps.

I have used this setup a few times in the past with out any issues at all.  Though the other day I reinstalled and have been getting the following error when starting the backend/retriviing channel line ups.

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specifiedare supportedhost-based authentication failed

and After searching around for a few I came across one fix which led me to another fix.  The problem is that MythTV was attempting to run as the Mythtv user, thats fine and dandy but I run mine as my user instead.  So you have to change two files and the problems will be fixed.  Here are the two files that need to be changed.

/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
/etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend

In those files you will see a spot right at the top where it is trying to run as the mythtv user,  just replace mythtv with your name and then you should be all set.

By default when you install Virtuozzo on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with more than 4 gigs of ram it will NOT let you make use of the other ram, and when you try to boot the Enterprise Kernel it will panic on you. The fix for this is actually pretty simple you just need to download a special kernel / kernel modules from the SW-Soft ftp. When downloading you will need to use the username and password provided to you from SW-Soft. After the install reboot and all should be well.

I got bored and attempted to make my desktop at work pretty…. not really much too it, just went with the basics and a girl in the middle. I really need to switch to Fluxbox instead of Gnome.  But then again Gnome does serve me well as it has about everything included and not to mention is really user friendly.  Fluxbox still has a ways to go in my eyes with being user friendly.
