OK: where I’m starting:
BE2 (old) Ethernet unplugged (for ‘safety’)
BE3 (one we’re working on) plugged into the network.
BE3 has been powered off overnight
Step 1: rm //home/barry//.mythtv/config.xml
Step 2: ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml
Did some testing (I’m trying to learn as I go!) and the link is
there and works ==> ls lists in light blue, which IIRC means ‘link’
(I had a chart of the colours some place!).
At this point config.xml is stating <Host>localhost</Host> and the
rest looks to be correct also.
And any changes to the configuration should be made to
/etc/mythtv/config.xml, and they’re be ‘sent’ to the ones in the
hidden directories:
[Master] /etc/mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as white)
[Link] /home/barry/.mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as light blue)
[Link] /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml (ls displays as light blue)
Thanks!
Barry
