[19:55:28] gnac: I'm running MythTv backend v 0.28 on Ubuntu kernel 4.10.0-38-generic
[19:56:06] gnac: It always fails to start on boot. I can manually start the service after boot however.
[19:57:40] gnac: I'm getting a status=130 message in the service status, along with "Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart"
[20:02:57] mengoshmink: I find the BE log has more helpful information, normally
[20:04:53] gnac: BE log?
[20:06:09] gnac: I see an error in /var/log about not connecting to mysql: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
[20:06:40] gnac: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mythtv-backend.service has After=mysqld.service network.target
[20:10:00] mengoshmink: BackEnd log
[20:10:23] mengoshmink: tailf /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.20180618195131.1934.log
[20:11:34] mengoshmink: sorry, I missed the start, could it be mariadb isnt started, firewall port isnt open or database has incorrect access permissions?
[20:11:42] mengoshmink: food time
[20:17:07] gnac: seems to be an old error in the mythtv service: https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?t=1705
[20:17:37] gnac: basically /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mythtv-backend.service is referenceing mysqld instead of mysql.

[20:45:13] mengoshmink: hmm I think I am having problems setting up permissions on my storage groups
[20:58:00] jm|laptop: mengoshmink: are they local or remote?
[20:58:33] mengoshmink: they will be remote (NAS) but now I am troubleshooting with a local one
[20:58:51] ** jm|laptop mumbles something about uid 1050 **
[20:59:01] mengoshmink: found some stuff on the wiki which I am reading and trying to understand
[20:59:05] jm|laptop: $ grep myth /etc/group
[20:59:35] mengoshmink: video:x:39:mythtv,mengoshmink
[20:59:35] mengoshmink: audio:x:63:mythtv
[20:59:35] mengoshmink: mythtv:x:991:
[20:59:45] jm|laptop: mine is 999. I'm sure it used to be 1050. Hmm.
[21:00:19] mengoshmink: I run a separate BE and FE but I don't see how that should effect things
[21:00:40] jm|laptop: well the local storage group must be on the backend, right?
[21:00:47] mengoshmink: yup
[21:01:20] mengoshmink: I just created a local folder in /var/lib/mythtv/livetv to test
[21:01:32] mengoshmink: sorry, local to the BE
[21:01:43] jm|laptop: ls -l /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/. ?
[21:02:54] mengoshmink: $ ls -l /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/.
[21:02:54] mengoshmink: total 0
[21:03:13] jm|laptop: er
[21:03:38] jm|laptop: stat /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/ | grep Uid
[21:04:08] mengoshmink: Access: (0775/drwxrwxr-x) Uid: ( 994/ mythtv) Gid: ( 991/ mythtv)
[21:05:22] jm|laptop: so what problem are you having?
[21:05:25] louisdk (louisdk!~louisdk@static-5-103-138-205.ip.fibianet.dk) has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
[21:06:01] jm|laptop: # su – mythtv touch /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/testfile
[21:06:46] mengoshmink: This account is currently not available. << ah-ha!!!!
[21:07:25] jm|laptop: is that because mythtv has no shell though?
[21:07:47] jm|laptop: # grep mythtv /etc/passwd
[21:07:50] mengoshmink: maybe, but doesnt it need shell to run?
[21:07:57] jm|laptop: (I'm guessing your distro is new enough to use /etc/shadow)
[21:08:09] mengoshmink: centos 7.5
[21:08:31] mengoshmink: mythtv:x:994:991:mythbackend user:/var/lib/mythtv:/sbin/nologin << crap
[21:08:52] jm|laptop: mengoshmink: not necessarily a bad thing. If everything happens outside an interactive shell
[21:09:16] jm|laptop: mine is set to /bin/sh but that's because I do strange things and cronjobs and stuff probably wrongly
[21:09:22] mengoshmink: agree, prob better in my basic understanding
[21:09:30] jm|laptop: and a shell is not necessary for permissions to work
[21:09:42] mengoshmink: never had to give it shell, not about to now
[21:10:07] mengoshmink: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Troubleshooting:F . . . _Permissions
[21:10:08] jm|laptop: the `touch` command would just have shown that that user is able to write to that directory
[21:10:43] mengoshmink: what is a good place to dump screenshots?
[21:11:03] jm|laptop: textual or graphical?
[21:11:09] mengoshmink: well, mythbackend does a similar test and has given me a similar error
[21:11:12] mengoshmink: graphical
[21:11:21] jm|laptop: dunno. imgur?
[21:11:53] jm|laptop: mythbackend must be logging somewhere though right?
[21:11:59] jm|laptop: you could c/p to a pastebin?
[21:12:28] mengoshmink: BE isnt running atm, if I am not mistaken BE should be stopped while you setup storage groups
[21:13:45] mengoshmink: https://imgur.com/a/Hoa6xT3
[21:16:04] jm|laptop: mengoshmink: ps waux | grep mythtv-setup | awk '{print $1}'
[21:17:00] mengoshmink: I run mythtv-setup as me, always have
[21:17:09] ** jm|laptop blinks **
[21:17:24] jm|laptop: hmm ok
[21:17:32] mengoshmink: what, its working, wtf
[21:17:40] jm|laptop: hooray?
[21:17:50] mengoshmink: oh wait, local, not remote lol
[21:18:17] mengoshmink: but at least I know now its not permissions on the adapter
[21:18:28] jm|laptop: [21:59] <mengoshmink> mythtv:x:991:
[21:18:37] jm|laptop: mengoshmink is not in the mythtv group
[21:19:05] jm|laptop: so if you run mythtv-setup as mengoshmink will it not try to the .test file as mengoshmink?
[21:21:18] mengoshmink: makes sense I guess, just never had that as a problem before, I dont think
[21:22:10] jm|laptop: suggests you either ran mythtv-setup as mythtv or root or you had mengoshmink in the mythtv group
[21:22:30] mengoshmink: going to add myself to the mythtv group
[21:22:40] jm|laptop: or whatever version you last did this on it didn't try to write a .test file
[21:23:43] jm|laptop: mengoshmink: while that will work for /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/ being 0775 note that other mythtv directories might well default to 0755 so you still won't be able to write to them as you
[21:24:18] jm|laptop: and NFS is a whole new ball-game
[21:24:45] mengoshmink: :-) NFS is next, thats how I remote mount my NAS
[21:25:11] jm|laptop: I figured.
[21:25:27] mengoshmink: to make matters worse, NAS is a Synology, not a linux box
[21:26:32] jm|laptop: meh. It all depends how the remote nfsd handles stuff, or maps stuff. Generally with NAS it Just Works because the NAS box doesn't care about security or what your mapped uid is[n't]
[21:31:06] mengoshmink: On Linux, and possibly other UNIXes, check the permissions of the underlying mount point: << I find that strange
[21:31:27] mengoshmink: Also: check the permissions of each step in the mount path, from /. << and that strange too
[21:32:41] mengoshmink: I think I am going to give up for tonight, to be continued tomorrow
[21:40:18] mengoshmink: better yet, going to grab a beer and go afk, thanks jm|laptop
[21:41:59] jm|laptop: mengoshmink: np. I didn't do anything.
[21:42:25] mengoshmink: you did mate
