solved: after Computer-Change - no VOMP

[goldfisch]

german: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=82462

Hello Forum,

I changed my VDR-Computer. After that my MVP-Client doesn´t run. If I start my MVP, I get the blue start screen. But I think the dongle.bin wasn´t load. VOMP for Windows runs with the new VDR-Computer.

In my VDR-Server I see in /var/log/syslog:

Dec  7 23:15:50 gustav dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0d:fe:00:23:89 via eth2
Dec  7 23:15:50 gustav dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.6 to 00:0d:fe:00:23:89 via

On my old VDR-Computer I had a network-device that runs as "eth0". In my new Computer the network-device runs as "eth2".

/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

What´s wrong in my configuration?

I think the change from eth0 to eth2 is the problem. How can I change the device name?

Thank you!

if you're using udev, you should be able to set the dev name somewhere underneath
/etc/udev/rules.d.
udev uses its own rule syntax. it's explained here: http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php

Hi..

It looks like the MVP is being given an IP from your DHCP server, but then it isn't asking for a dongle from the TFTP server.

Is you server "gustav" still on IP 192.168.1.200 ?

As root, run the command

Code Select Expand

lsof | grep UDP

and look for a line like this:

Code Select Expand

inetd      2923        root    4u     IPv4               6960                   UDP *:tftp

.. to prove that your tftp server is working.

Post back your results.

I think the change from eth0 to eth2 is the problem. How can I change the device name?

Did you change the hardware but keep the same operating system?

In my distro (Mandriva) there is a file /etc/iftab which has the MAC address of each ethernet card in the system. If you change network cards the OS sees the different MAC address and allocates a new ethx device to it. Simply deleting this file allows the system to 'forget' the old network card and start again from eth0.

Thank you for that tip. Now my network device runs as "eth0".

But the MVP doesn´t run. I get only two white balks.

Any Idea?

So I think the tftp-Server is running.

From the same server I boot a diskless Print-Server. If the print-Server starts I get a messega in /var/log/syslog

...

...

But form the MVP I get in /var/log/syslog only:

...
Dec  8 23:42:28 gustav dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0d:fe:00:23:89 via eth0

If you change network cards the OS sees the different MAC address and allocates a new ethx device to it. Simply deleting this file allows the system to 'forget' the old network card and start again from eth0.

I use debian. There I have no /etc/iftab. With the Posting from Harry I changed the name of the device to "eth0". But the MVP doesn´t run.

Any idea?

Thank you!

glad i could help.

...hmm.
looks like you're missing a couple of settings from the vomp(.*)?.conf
i suggest two things:
1.
complete the vomp(.*)?.conf files adequately
have a look at the examples in the server source
http://www.loggytronic.com/dl/vomp-dongle-0.3.0
there you'll find a sample for MVP specific settings (vomp-00-00-00-00-00-00.conf.sample)
and global settings (vomp.conf.sample)

and/or 2.
for testing, please deactivate the tftp server in inetd.conf
and use the vomp-built-in server stuff to determine what's wrong.
(this way, you also get all log data from one file)

cheers

Hello,

I reconfigured the vompserver copletly new. Tftp in inetd.conf is disabled.

But it doesn´t runs. I get only two white balks on the TV. But I don´t understand why.

[Harry]

hmm.. odd.
do you have more than on ethernet interface on your server?

could you post the output of "netstat -r" and/or "lsdev" ?
please also tell us what's the hardware version of your MVP ?
find it on a sticker on the underside of your MVP.

cheers

[goldfisch]

do you have more than on ethernet interface on your server?

No, there is only one (onboard-)Ethernet interface on the server.

could you post the output of "netstat -r"

Hello Portal,

now the MVP runs with VOMP.

The problem was, that the MVP was connected to the network-switch at the uplink-port of the switch.

Tank you to all who supported me to find the solution!

God bless you!
