We welcome you to a new .....

..... viewing toy.

LG BD 570 works well to view mythtv HD (1080i) off air recordings. Wirelessly at that.

A firmware upgrade did throw a hiccup, which was worked around by going from wpa2 to wpa.

Netflix, youtube, picasa, pandora have all worked well.

Upgrade .....

In linux, as in other OSes, well meant upgrades can break things. I suspect a change in policy happened during an "upgrade".

Here are a couple of things I learnt:

RSA_public_decrypt failed: error:04067069:lib(4):func(103):reason(105)

Read: Our decryption is silly. It wont handle keys of all sizes. Try 2^n.


Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for file /?????/????/.ssh/authorized_keys

AKA: We are silly. Though only public keys are stored here, we dont want default permissions for this file. So what if the actual keys have silly permissions.

Do you detect a note of silliness? This took me almost 3 weeks to figure out.
