Hello mythtv-users,
I am doing a completely virgin install of RH9 and MythTV using
Jarod's http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=rh9pvr250
Ran into a little snafu...
The RH9 install went fine. I created a 'mythtv' user. I then SU'd
to 'mythtv' to continue the rest of install.
Well, I couldn't go any further as mythtv, so I continued as root
until such time as I would switch back to mythtv user. I figured
right before I did the apt-get mythtv-suite.
Well, suffice it to say, I forgot. :^(
I have gone past that part as root. And now I am at the spot where
I am configuring the ivtv drivers and it's not working.
As 'mythtv' I do a '/sbin/depmod -a' and I get
depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.4.20-24_31.rh9.at/modules.dep for writing
So, I am guessing that I have to be at 'mythtv' user from the get
go, just like it said in Jarod's docs. Imagine that! :^(
My question is, how can I get back to that point, w/o having to
whack everything and start over. Or would that be the best course
of action? Simply to whack the drive and start over.
Thanx...
