[solved] Using mythtv online and offline

[jhmgbl]

Hallo,
I have setup a mythtv-server that starts and does shutdown automatically. Mythbackend has the IP 192.168.2.25. This works fine if the server is connected to my router and wlan0 has the ip 192.168.2.25 . The problem is that at night I switch off the router and so the server hast only localhost as IP. Then /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf prevents mythbackend to start. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo and started udev-finish)

If I delete IFACE!=lo mythbackend starts offline, but this configuration does not work, when the router is connected.

Any ideas how to get mythbackend working online and offline?

For now, leave your router on and just turn off your modem, or configure your machine with a static IP instead of using DHCP.

Hello,

I use a static IP on my wlan interface and I don't want to leave the router on all day.

If you have a static IP, then there should be no problem. Is it a static IP through something like NetworkManager, that only applies the address to the interface while the interface is actually connected?

Thank you for your answer. The IP is through network-manager. I will assign an IP in the interfaces-settings.

Hallo,

I can set a static IP for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, but then online mode with wlan0 (Network-Manager) does not work any more.

Hallo,

I uninstalled NM, setup a static wlan interface in interfaces and now it works!
