linux beginner, how do you get the commands to the putty terminal other than type all that syntax?
I say it in my video but you can copy and then right click to paste into putty.
i've been using a raspberry pi to host my channels dvr for a few years. I now am trying to switch to a beelink mini pc with ubuntu server. so far i seem to have installed ubuntu on my mini. now i have questions about what i can do. Can i add my existing usb drive with or without my recordings to the ubuntu server. I'm having trouble figuring that out either way. I read and watched the above info but am still having problems. any direction would be appreciated.

You can follow my second video to add the hard drive but since it already has data, just skip the partitioning section. So basically you will create a mount point on your file system, find the uuid of the drive, then add it to fstab.
then you need to take ownership for all files and folders
sudo chown -R username:usergroup /name/of/directory
To find the username and group of your existing file system just do an ls -l. From my example below, mine are seth:seth
seth@channelsdvr:/media/channelsdvr/2TB/DVR$ ls -l
total 428

Are you saying by installing the drivers in the link you provided it will only work with 22.04
Those drivers work with 22.04 and when installed correctly will allow for hardware transcoding on Ubuntu server 22.04. There have been reports that the drivers come already packaged in server version 24.10 but 24.10 is not a LTS release meaning long term support.
Ubuntu desktop 22.04 and desktop 24.04 comes with drivers already installed ready to go for hardware transcoding.
Excellent Guide Thank You. I just have one question after installing Ubuntu and installing channels dvr on a 512 GB hard drive channels dvr only has 85 GB of storage. During the install i did say use full disk space
Got it, Thanks. I tried on 22.04, and it did not work for me. I think I will install 22.04 for now. I have to reinstall it anyway on 512GB hard drive channels that only had 85 GB storage. I am sure I selected to use full disk
Correction: I tried on 24.04
Find out your drive id by running
lsblk
Then resize the correct drive with this substituting your drive id instead of sdX#
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdX#
You could try this before nuking the install
Try
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu--vg/ubuntu--lv
Then
sudo resize2fs /dev/ubuntu--vg/ubuntu--lv
WOW, Thanks, I will try it tomorrow. I currently have a working system on my Synology NAS
@ Rice, I got out of going to doggy daycare. I followed your procedure, and now hardware transcoding is working in Channel DVR. Thanks Again for providing all the information necessary to get it up and running for me. Now I have to get my hard drive partition figured out. I did google it, and I do see it is a known issue.
Did the two commands above not extend the space? I had the same issue as you and fixed it but can’t remember the exact steps I took.

His screenshot image shows ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
Might be easier if he could copy/paste the text.
