After updating vdr and scripts, the init script fails always without any clue on what is wrong: pvr ~ # /etc/init.d/vdr start * Preparing start of vdr: * config files ... [ ok ] * Waiting for prerequisits (devices nodes etc.) ... * waited 0 seconds [ ok ] * Starting vdr-1.4.7 ... * CMDLINE: start-stop-daemon " '--start' '--chdir' '/var/vdr' '--exec' '/usr/bin/vdr'" -- " '-u' 'vdr' '--watchdog=60' '--epgfile=/video/epg.data' '--log=3' '--video=/video' '--lirc' '--record=/usr/share/vdr/bin/vdrrecord-gate.sh' '--plugin=softdevice -vo dfb:mgatv -ao alsa: ' '--plugin=skinsoppalusikka -l /usr/share/vdr/channel-logos ' '--plugin=epgsearch ' '--plugin=streamdev-server ' '--plugin=burn -t /tmp -d /video/temp -D /dev/dvd -i /video/dvd-images [ ok ] * Waiting for working vdr ... * waited 0 seconds * aborted, please check logfile [ !! ] * Addon /usr/share/vdr/rcscript/post-start-50-svdrp.sh failed. And this is what is written to the log: Jan 5 14:42:18 pvr rc-scripts: aborted, please check logfile Jan 5 14:42:18 pvr rc-scripts: Addon /usr/share/vdr/rcscript/post-start-50-svdrp.sh failed. I understand that the system may not be fully updated, but I would like to have an hint about what's wrong, since I don't want to do a full update (there are critical packages that I don't want to update).
Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity. Which ebuild installed your initscript?
These are the versions installed: [ebuild R ] media-tv/gentoo-vdr-scripts-0.4.2 [ebuild R ] media-video/vdr-1.4.7-r9 USE="sortrecords*"
Stop messing with the severity of this bug and post `equery b /etc/init.d/vdr` output.
I'm not messing with anything, if you want to change the severty do it! Here is the output: pvr ~ # equery b /etc/init.d/vdr [ Searching for file(s) /etc/init.d/vdr in *... ] media-tv/gentoo-vdr-scripts-0.4.2 (/etc/init.d/vdr)
> I'm not messing with anything, if you want to change the severty do it! There'd be no need to keep changing it if you stopped reverting it in the first place. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_activity.cgi?id=204438
I have reverted nothing. I never touched any flag after opening the bug. Now, can we concentrate on the problem please ? I have a system that doesn't work and I would like to fix it!
Any lines more output of your startlog will be more helpfull find it in your preferred syslog, eg, /var/log/syslog , messages but it looks like a plugins can not be load, im most cases user forgot to run vdrplugin-rebuild after upgrading media-video/vdr Did you run vdrplugin-rebuild ? If yes, try to start VDR without plugins, and add your plugins step by step on next start to find out which plugin will failed.
The log doesn't contain anything else, these are the only two lines logged when trying to start vdr: Jan 5 14:42:18 pvr rc-scripts: aborted, please check logfile Jan 5 14:42:18 pvr rc-scripts: Addon /usr/share/vdr/rcscript/post-start-50-svdrp.sh failed. Yes, I ran vdrplugin-rebuild. Starting from the command line using the parameters listed on the CMDLINE row works well. It is only the init script that doesn't work.
I dont know is it an copy & paste error, I countig in your start CMD line only 3 " (Quoting marks) Normaly remove the bash on start all quoting marks, or it must be an even number of quoting marks, Please check all your last edited (VDR) config files if you miss there in one of your edited Parameter a " To reduce the errors, load on this part VDR without plugins.
I have removed and reinstalled the scripts and now vdr works. I guess that something wasn't updated correctly.
