i never did write a grumble post about the debian ssl exploit (great explanation of the issue and some motivational posters) and i’m still finding issues because of the new keys. the lastest issue i was trying to debug why i wasn’t able to connect to one of my boxes via nxclient. checking around in the logs i saw, “Offending key in /usr/NX/home/nx/.ssh/known_hosts”… simple enough.

after looking at that file and comparing it to /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.broken i drop in the new keys and nxclient connects just fine. i would also recommend regenerating your personal keys if you use an authorized_keys[2] file

i was a little bummed to find out that you couldn’t just update between the mythbuntu alphas… i finally got around to tossing the 8.04 beta on my mythtv frontend and firewire input/capture WORKS! i also moved the pvr500 into the t105 and got that working. the only issue i’m having right now is figuring out how to get the primary backend and secondary backend to play nicely.

i also figured out how to get nxclient to work in mythbuntu. i never did figure out how to get xfce to start properly (it wouldn’t start in a window and it would render xfce over my current window manager) so i cheated and just installed ‘ubuntu-desktop’. not gnome, or gnome-desktop…. heh, yeah i’m slow.

i finally gave up on getting the sa4250HDC to play nice with mythtv and traded it in for a sa3250HD. downgrading boxes i do lose hdmi out from the cable stb… but component works just fine. after connecting everything up, all i had to do was clear my inputs in mythtv and re-add them. firewire capture is working! muahaha!

changing channels via firewire is wonky, mythtv does change the channel of the stb but not properly. instead of hunting it down in mythbuntu 8.04 i’m going to re-install 7.10 and start clean from there. i think i’m also going to switch from the firefly remote to a mce remote for the time being too. i’m slowly gathering tons of hdtv/mythtv hardware.. atleast i don’t have to play with an ir blaster anymore.
