Actually, I'm having a bit of trouble with my AMD64 machine not |
| 35 |
performing very well as a MythTV frontend machine since the upgrade to |
| 36 |
mythtv-0.21. Prior to 0.21 it worked great. It also works great when |
| 37 |
booted into Windows running the MythTV Player for Windows and the |
| 38 |
NetFlix streaming service so I'm confident there isn't anything wrong |
| 39 |
with the hardware. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I noticed, following through the above flow, that this one machine was |
| 42 |
still using the 2006.0 desktop profile whereas my other machines that |
| 43 |
work fine (albeit very different hardware) are all 2007.0 desktop |
| 44 |
machines. That gave me an opportunity to put some of this thread to |
| 45 |
work. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
1) The machine was completely clean with the flow above using 2006.0. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
2) I switched to 2007.0 desktop and emerge -DuN world wanted to |
| 50 |
rebuild 39 packages. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
3) I switched back to 2006.0 and the machine is clean again, as it |
| 53 |
should be. I just wanted the sanity check. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
4) I switched into 2007.0 desktop and did an emerge -pvDuN system |
| 56 |
(instead of world) and saw that it wanted to rebuild 9 packages so |
| 57 |
I've decided to do that first, then sync again, and then look at |
| 58 |
emerge -DuN world again to see what, if anything, changes. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
No idea if this will fix my machine's MythTV problems but it's |
| 61 |
probably a good thing to do anyway. |
