User1: anyway to set free space for mythbuntu without having the mythtv frontend? i installed backend only and have no way of making that setting.  (from what I can see)
User2: the backend setup should have an option
User2: general -> page 2 or 3 has a "Auto Expire Free Disk Space Threshold(in Gigabytes)" setting, according to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:TV_Settings#Global_Auto_Expire_Settings
User1: hmmm lemme check...
User1: i think that's on the frontend....i don't see Auto Expire at all on the backend settings
User2: what version are you running ?
User1: is it the bindings version you are looking for?
User1: if so, 91.69.162.6
User2: it maybe in the frontend ... I thought it was in the backend though
User2: i'm on 0.26 right now so can't look to say for sure, I know in 0.27 the wiki says it's a frontend setting
User1: i don't even know how to update to 0.26
User1: my update manager pops up all the time (with 200+ security updates) but everytime I run it mythbuntu crashes.
User1: however, i don't see anything in there relating to mythtv....just all ubuntu stuff
User2: open the mythbuntu control center
User1: k
User2: one of the options is repositories or something
User1: im there
User2: should be a drop down that says 0.25
User2: click the drop down and you should see 0.26
User2: depending on the mythbuntu version, you may see 0.27 and/or 0.28 also
User1: says .25....when i change to .26 and hit refresh it goes grayed out again
User2: change to 0.26 click apply
User2: then you should be able to do a normal update and have it grab the myth updates
User2: if that's not working, you may need to apply outstanding patches first
User1: should i be able to apply all outstanding patches no matter what?
User1: last time i tried i smoked my entire build and i had to start over lol
User2: oh wow
User2: what release are you on?
User1: i downloaded the mythbuntu installer....installed mythbuntu....literally changed nothing....tried to bring it up to date and it crashed (this was like my 3rd christopherthornton@example.net...) so i gave up and turned updates off =p
User2: what version did you install ?
User2: 12.04?
User1: yea
User1: 64 bit
User2: when you say crashed
User2: the update installer crashed ? kernel paniced? something else?
User2: I had an issue with the update installer appeared to hang, I ended up rebooting after that the update completed
User1: looks like mine is hanging right now
User1: i pushed 4 mythtv updates
User1: only 24 mbs
User1: the apply changes screen is still showing but all white
User2: that's what happened to me
User1: so just reboot?
User1: and continue pushing updates at it?
User2: reboot, re-run the update check and it should prompt to do a partial update or something
User1: ok
User2: once that finishes you should be good
User2: i gotta get to bed but, that should get you passed the current issue ...
User2: also, #mythtv-users for mythtv specific questions, it's more active
User1: ok thanks!
