- I've built a new (to me) tv pc. As I mentioned earlier I bought a motherboard, memory, processor, and a couple of disk drives. I ordered a larger power supply and some standoffs (I was one short to mount the motherboard). All the parts came and I spent a day building the new pc, installing Ubuntu 10.04, mythtv, xbmc, etc. I still need to close up the case and finish a bit of configuration but all is basically working.
- I've got Ubuntu 10.04 working well with xbmc and myth tv everywhere so I've dropped the 11.04 work since it doesn't seem to add anything.
- I dual booted the AsusLaptop and installed ubuntu 10.04. Works OK. Worked on the interface to make things easier for BB to use. Installed mythtv support in xbmc. Works well.
- Built a new somewhat bigger antenna. Initial testing shows that it is marginally more sensitive. I've mounted it on HDHomeRun for further evaluation.
Mount 2nd hard drive in Ohio
- Disk utility shows second drive is the Samsung 160 GB. The partitioning is ok.
- Mount it to see what, if anything, is on the drive. It looks like it has an old ubuntu on it. Reformat drive.
- MythTV stores its data at /var/lib/mythtv which is on sda.
- 2nd drive mounts at /mount/sdb. Create mythtv directory and subdirectories that mirror /var/lib/mythtv. MythTV default would be /media/sdb/mythtv with others per /var/lib/mythtv model.
- Edited /etc/fstab per http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux adding both /media/sdb/mythtv and a second swap partition.
Mount 1 tb network drive
- //twopugs/nas0000/public/mythtv created. Subdirectories created mirroring /var/lib/mythtv structure
- Not sure what path to twopugs really is but I'm able to see it on Amazon's file browser.
- I'll need to work this out.
To DO
- Mount 2nd 160 GB drive and fix up place for video storage per section 9 guidelines. Dre currently defined as /media/sdb. Need to configure mythtv backend to use.
- Clean up and properly configure storage directories in mythtv storage groups Default web page for TV.B network drive.
- Mount and configure 1 TB drive.
- Configure VNC so that I can always get to the machine.
- Setup mythnettv properly
- Finish freenas install
- Improve antenna
- Setuup VNC to work without a loged on user
- Remove passwords that popup
