Just a few notes for myself on how to re-install my server running Ubuntu. Including setup of mythtv etc.<\/p>\n

After installing the server if running into a grub problem, simply install grub-pc from a rescue cd\/usb stick. (grub-efi does for some reason not work in my setup).<\/p>\n

Interesting packages, I usually install:<\/p>\n

apt-cacher-ng<\/h3>\n

After installation, create\/etc\/apt\/apt.conf.d\/00proxy-beatrix with<\/p>\n

Acquire::http { Proxy “http:\/\/beatrix.svalgaard.net:3142”; };<\/p>\n

Logitech Media Server \/ slim server (or what ever the current name is)<\/h3>\n

Add a file\u00a0\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/slimdevices.list with the following line:<\/p>\n

deb http:\/\/debian.slimdevices.com stable main<\/p>\n

MySQL<\/h3>\n

This is later used for MythTV. Copy old database files from \/var\/lib\/mysql\/<\/p>\n

Allow remote connections as described here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.mythtv.org\/wiki\/Mythfrontend<\/p>\n

udev – persistent DVB names<\/h3>\n

To ensure that my DVB USB devices get the same name at every boot create a file\u00a0\/etc\/udev\/rules.d\/dvb-svalle.rules with a contents like this:<\/p>\n

# get possible attributes using this cmd:
\n# udevadm info -a -$(udevadm info -q path -n \/dev\/sdb)
\n# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n \/dev\/dvb\/adapter0\/dvr0)
\n#
\n# Also see
\n# http:\/\/www.mythtv.org\/wiki\/Device_Filenames_and_udev<\/code><\/p>\n

exim4-daemon-light<\/h3>\n

After installation set it up using<\/p>\n

dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config<\/pre>\n
as an \"internet site\" which basically means that it tries to send email directly to everybody<\/pre>\n
Also: you may want to setup .forward for most accounts to make it forward email to the real hosts<\/pre>\n
NFS<\/h3>\n
install nfs-kernel-server and add this to \/etc\/exports
\n\/share 172.16.3.0\/24(rw,no_root_squash,nohide,async,no_subtree_check,insecure)
\n\/home 172.16.3.7(rw,no_root_squash,nohide,async,no_subtree_check,insecure)<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
mythtv-backend-master<\/h3>\n
Maybe first copy old db settings from \/etc\/mythtv<\/p>\n
cups<\/h3>\n
cups and cups-bsd needs to be installed<\/p>\n
subversion<\/h3>\n
install subversion +\u00a0libapache2-svn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
