[02:39] <williammanda> got it fixed....
[02:39] <williammanda> redid password for mythtv is mysql
[02:40] <williammanda> got rid of that database problem.....re-installed mythtv :)

[06:35] <majoridiot> LOL i wondered which window that went into.
[06:35] <superm1> haha
[06:36] <majoridiot> package progress or still buried in schoolwork and workwork?
[06:36] <superm1> i just got back from work work about 30 min ago
[06:36] <superm1> i'm tryign out lots of ideas for this package
[06:36] <majoridiot> :)
[06:37] <superm1> but so many things wouldn't fly with -motu
[06:37] <majoridiot> :(
[06:37] <superm1> my buddies want me to go out and drink tonite, i dont think thats even a good idea given being sick... so good opportunity to work at this some more
[06:37] <majoridiot> definitely
[06:38] <majoridiot> booz is about the last thing your system needs atm
[06:38] <superm1> i'm gonna run and grab a bite at least then while this next build kicks off
[06:38] <superm1> be back in a few

[05:55] <billbrasky> i was getting an error during mythtv installation on feisty, specifically during mysql configuration
[05:55] <billbrasky> this common?
[05:55] <billbrasky> i didn't dig up anything in reported bugs
[06:13] <williammanda> anyone see this?   http://linuxmce.com/
[06:14] <gardengnome> williammanda: yes.
[06:15] <billbrasky> yup i've seen it. haven't had an install complete for it yet.
[06:17] <superm1> billbrasky, what was happening?
[06:22] <billbrasky> on feisty?
[06:22] <billbrasky> i used synaptic
[06:22] <billbrasky> during the install, there is a point that mysql is being configured
[06:22] <billbrasky> it hung there
[06:23] <billbrasky> CTRL-c to kill that and the install continued
[06:23] <superm1> during mysql installation?
[06:23] <billbrasky> i was gonna re-do it to see if the problem was caused by me selecting mythtv, -frontend, -backend etc all in one stroke
[06:23] <superm1> as in mysql-server-5.0??
[06:23] <billbrasky> yes
[06:23] <superm1> oh thats not good.
[06:24] <superm1> u used the "mythtv" metapackge?
[06:24] <billbrasky> yea
[06:24] <billbrasky> hold up, lemme go jump on my other pc and i can re-do the installation on that image
=== billbrasky [n=bg@71.239.170.218]  has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
[06:26] <billbrasky> i finally got my hardware working for the new media center, so i'll have to decide if i wanna use feisty
[06:27] <superm1> well i hope so, we want these good for feisty :)
[06:28] <billbrasky> i'm doing the install now
[06:28] <billbrasky> on a vm
[06:29] <billbrasky> i hope i kludged something up again :-)
[06:31] <billbrasky> may have gotten past it... it was during the point where it stops/starts mysql during install
[06:31] <billbrasky> font install eh
[06:31] <billbrasky> innerestin
[06:31] <billbrasky> ntp is setup as part of it too eh
[06:32] <billbrasky> there is an error at the end of install:
[06:32] <superm1> hehe
[06:32] <superm1> you like all the extras it does for you now?
[06:33] <billbrasky> starting mythtv server: mythbackSession management error: authentication rejected, reason: none of the auth protocols specified are supported and host-based auth failed.
[06:33] <billbrasky> yea very nice
[06:33] <superm1> thats no worry
[06:33] <billbrasky> ok
[06:33] <billbrasky> good
[06:33] <gardengnome> superm1: is it possible to suppress that error message?
[06:33] <gardengnome> people are worried about it
[06:33] <superm1> keescook and i havent nailed it as of yet
[06:33] <superm1> we dont know the true cause of it
[06:34] <superm1> i'd like to supress it though
[06:34] <superm1> i wonder if just a 2 > &1 would do it
[06:34] <billbrasky> if you aren't doing a desktop machine, can that meta package be used?
[06:35] <superm1> i'll experiment later on
[06:35] <superm1> billbrasky, there are other ones for non desktop machines
[06:35] <superm1> but most people who install on a desktop will just use that
[06:35] <superm1> for simplicities sake
[06:35] <gardengnome> superm1: i think it's a qt error message.
[06:35] <superm1> since it should pretty much do a lot of the pia stuff for you
[06:35] <superm1> gardengnome, yes it is
[06:35] <billbrasky> ubuntu-mythtv-frontend?
[06:36] <billbrasky> what wm is included?
[06:36] <billbrasky> openbox?
[06:36] <superm1> yes
[06:37] <billbrasky> nifty
[06:37] <superm1> does automatic login and such too
[06:37] <billbrasky> nifty x2
[06:37] <billbrasky> :)
[06:41] <billbrasky> is the medibuntu the best way to do restricted formats with ubuntu-myth?
[06:42] <superm1> i havent had a need honestly
[06:42] <superm1> so dunno :)
[06:43] <billbrasky> you don't play any other formats or dvd's?!
[06:43] <superm1> well dvds
[06:43] <superm1> but i got dvdcss2 ages ago
[06:43] <billbrasky> gotcha
[06:43] <superm1> but everything else is handled in ffmpeg
[06:43] <superm1> including wmv3
=== billbrasky [n=billbras@71.239.170.218]  has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
[06:48] <billbrasky> i assume if i install the beta feisty release, doing update/upgrade will bring everything up to date once there is a final release...
[06:49] <superm1> yes
[06:49] <billbrasky> dumb question, i just wanna settle on something stable
[06:49] <billbrasky> i'm sure there will be some updates
[06:50] <billbrasky> hmm, i wonder if anyone has wii controllers working with myth in a seamless fashion
[06:50] <superm1> well myth wise i am hoping to get one last one in
[06:50] <superm1> but it will be a little tight
[06:50] <billbrasky> what needs updating?
[06:50] <superm1> regards to some postinst script
[06:51] <billbrasky> ah, nothing major
[06:52] <superm1> right
[06:53] <billbrasky> man mythmusic needs to be revamped
[06:53] <billbrasky> IMO
[06:58] <superm1> agreed
[06:58] <superm1> i just use amarok instead on my tv
[07:00] <billbrasky> i like a clean simple UI
[07:00] <billbrasky> devs could really take some hints from apple
[07:02] <billbrasky> hmm feisty is still broke when trying to install on a macbook pro....  damn
[07:05] <superm1> still?
[07:05] <superm1> wow
[07:05] <billbrasky> xorg updates no good
[07:05] <billbrasky> early releases were ok apparently
[07:07] <superm1> that sucks
[07:07] <superm1> well i'm happy with my thinkpad
[07:09] <billbrasky> yea i wasn't planning on a MBP, but ran across a deal on 'em
[07:09] <billbrasky> $1329
[07:09] <billbrasky> for a new core duo (early release MBP)
[07:21] <williammanda> will the ubuntu lirc setup work for firefly rf remote?
[07:22] <williammanda> or can i find another driver to use it with the computer?
[07:24] <billbrasky> hmmm i saw a link somewhere saying it had some kernel support, via ati_remote maybe
[07:24] <billbrasky> interesting
[07:24] <superm1> williammanda, not sure if its supported by lirc
[07:24] <superm1> but i'll be interested to find out :)
[07:27] <billbrasky> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_Firefly
[07:27] <billbrasky> that looks promising
[07:27] <billbrasky> it does look like it's using the ATI remote wonder code basically
[07:28] <billbrasky> wonder what that remote goes for on ebay
[07:28] <billbrasky> tho it has a lot of buttons
[07:28] <billbrasky> i need to find something simple for my parents  :-)
[07:29] <billbrasky> i'd much rather use RF than IR
[07:30] <superm1> if you go IR, i'm a fan of the mceusb2 based stuff
[07:30] <superm1> you take apart the remote and pull out the windows logo. print out a tux and put him there
[07:30] <superm1> and your set
[07:31] <billbrasky> i bought a dell/hp IR receiver (MCE based) and use a harmony remote
[07:31] <billbrasky> expensive solution, but i can control all my crap with it
[07:31] <billbrasky> 10 different devices
[07:32] <billbrasky> super - you said you setup an IR blaster to turn off your tv?
[07:32] <superm1> well one of my TVs
[07:32] <superm1> and one receiver i control with it
[07:32] <billbrasky> how hard was that to setup?
[07:33] <superm1> but my sammie LCD doesn't agree with it
[07:33] <billbrasky> ah
[07:33] <superm1> well "setting it up" wasn't hard
[07:33] <superm1> but getting IR codes that worked was a pain
[07:33] <billbrasky> the new MS MCE remote does have a programmable power button i believe...could use that to turn on/off the tv too..hmm
[07:33] <billbrasky> gotcha
[07:33] <superm1> yes i use that on my mceusb2 remote for hte TV that doesnt work with the IR blaster
[07:33] <superm1> but i still cant switch sources
[07:33] <superm1> so when i want to play wii, i have to use the regular remote to switch sources
[07:34] <superm1> i even experimented with making a 1/8th inch to serial adapter to control the TV via serial
[07:34] <superm1> with some info i got from samsung
[07:34] <superm1> but that ended up not working right for me and i couldn't nail the issue
[07:35] <billbrasky> ah
[07:36] <superm1> billbrasky, the serial module in use has a bad bug too that i've had open with debian for ages
[07:36] <superm1> so serial transmitters broke for me and several other people last year
[07:36] <billbrasky> ugh
[07:37] <billbrasky> so passed downstream to ubuntu eh
[07:37] <superm1> exactly
[07:37] <superm1> i think its their longest outstanding lirc bug too now
[07:38] <superm1> 295 days old.
[07:38] <superm1> debian bug 373871
[07:38] <ubotu> Debian bug 373871 in unknown "IR Transmitting broke (ubuntu dapper pulling debian package)" [Important,Open]  http://bugs.debian.org/373871
[07:44] <superm1> as of feisty we aren't using their package anymore, but rather a cvs snapshot that I helped k eescook with
[07:44] <superm1> i havent tested it yet with that package to see if its any better, but i'm fairly doubtful
[07:58] <superm1> gardengnome, i think i discovered something useful about that authentication error
[07:58] <superm1> if the file /home/mythtv/.ICEauthority exists and is owned by "mythtv" the issue doesn't happen
[07:59] <superm1> well let me take that back for a second.  if a VALID .ICEauthority exists
[07:59] <superm1> eg if you copy yours from ~ and chown it
[08:01] <superm1> i'm not sure what the .ICEauthority file actually does though
[08:02] <superm1> it appears to be created by KDE (and hence QT apps)

=== tgm4883 [n=thomas@c-67-160-174-176.hsd1.or.comcast.net]  has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
[11:52] <tgm4883> anybody run dapper in here?
[11:52] <tgm4883> or feisty?
[11:53] <williammanda> hey majoridiot.....if I want to use the remote for other programs...
[11:54] <williammanda> do i just create the lircrc file for that program?
[11:54] <williammanda> i use dapper
[11:54] <williammanda> actual mepis 6.5 which uses ubuntu dapper
[11:55] <tgm4883> What is the latest kernel on that? is it like edgy, cause that seemed to stop around 2.6.17
[11:55] <tgm4883> i ask because my feisty backend server crashed again,
[11:55] <williammanda> mepis is 2.6.15.27
[11:55] <tgm4883> and im thinking about going to dapper since it's LTS and supposed to be more stable
[11:56] <williammanda> i use mepis (dapper) on 3 computers with mythtv
[11:56] <tgm4883> i was trying to get edgy installed on this same hardware awhile ago and with 2.6.17, it was a real pain with the hardware, never got it to work
[11:57] <tgm4883> but the hardware is built into the 2.6.18 kernel
[11:57] <tgm4883> and the manufacture website wasn't alot of help if I remember correctly
[11:57] <williammanda> what hardware?
[11:58] <tgm4883> it's the motherboard chipset.  Motherboard is a gigabyte ga-m61vme-s2, the chipset is nForce 400
[11:59] <tgm4883> the nvidia website has drivers for up to around 2.6.12, but claim that its built in after that
[11:59] <williammanda> not sure...
[11:59] <williammanda> try mepis
[12:00] <williammanda> that is what they are know for.....easy setup with hardware
[12:00] <tgm4883> how does it compare to ubuntu (since that's what im famaliar with) although, since it's a frontend/backend only I guess it doesn't matter
[12:00] <williammanda> basically the same but better
[12:02] <tgm4883> and I guess before I switch I would want to know (not really possible to know for sure i guess) if I was going to have the same issue's over there?  Majoridiot was helping me the other day and came to the conclusion that mysql had crashed.
[12:02] <williammanda> it has been the best one i have used so far
[12:02] <tgm4883> live cd? cause then i would atleast know if it recognized the hardware off the bat
[12:02] <williammanda> yes live cd
[12:03] <tgm4883> it's a real pain to have to install another NIC to update
[12:03] <williammanda> i have 2 computers using 64 bit
[12:03] <williammanda> 2 using 32 bit
[12:03] <tgm4883> do you see performance gains running 64 bit?
[12:03] <tgm4883> I suppose that could be my problem too, running a 32bit OS on 64bit hardware
[12:03] <tgm4883> i just have a laundry list of problems
[12:04] <williammanda> some not much...since there aren't to many 64 bit programs
[12:04] <williammanda> try mepis....i was surprised
[12:04] <tgm4883> for a backend/frontend only setup I would see better transcoding times though
[12:04] <tgm4883> right?
[12:05] <williammanda> mot sure what you mean?
[12:05] <tgm4883> brb
[12:05] <tgm4883> ok
[12:06] <tgm4883> it seems to be the consensus that (as long as the transcoding program is written for 64bit hardware) that transcoding a video takes less time on 64bit than on 32 bit.
[12:07] <tgm4883> there's some hard data somewhere, but it is something like 1.5 times faster
[12:07] <williammanda> ok....i don't transcode any
[12:09] <tgm4883> is it just a 1 cd download?  im looking at it, but a little confused
[12:09] <williammanda> what?
[12:09] <tgm4883> I think i want this SimplyMEPIS-CD_6.5.00_64.iso
[12:10] <williammanda> yes for 64 bit
[12:10] <tgm4883> ok
[12:10] <tgm4883> there was a b5 and b6 too
[12:10] <tgm4883> assumed beta
[12:10] <williammanda> yes...final is 6.5
[12:11] <tgm4883> ok
[12:11] <tgm4883> well if my d/l rate stays up i should be able to test it in about 30 min
[12:12] <williammanda> ok...i'll be around
[12:15] <tgm4883> now when i do install this, is there a way to save my recorded shows?  I would need to save the seperate partition and the database.  But since im having problems with the backend crashing would I be better to do a clean install
[12:17] <williammanda> i would do a clean install..
[12:17] <williammanda> start off fresh
[12:18] <tgm4883> ok, well do then
[12:18] <tgm4883> another question then
[12:20] <tgm4883> through mythvideo, could I watch the shows if I transfered them to my fileserver first?  I can currently watch all my avi's and iso's.  I know that I would have no show data available, but atleast I wouldn't miss anything.  I think i only need a couple anyway
[12:21] <williammanda> if you do a clean install...you will lose the database....
[12:22] <williammanda> thus you will only be able to play the videos through some other media player....xine, mplayer, kaffeine
[12:22] <tgm4883> yea, but if I copy over the show files only
[12:22] <williammanda> outside of mythtv
[12:22] <tgm4883> ok
[12:22] <tgm4883> so i would at least be able to watch them
[12:22] <tgm4883> that acceptable
[12:22] <williammanda> yes....
[12:22] <williammanda> i just did the same thing ...
[12:23] <williammanda> i did a clean install of mepis...then mythtv
[12:23] <williammanda> saved my videos somewhere else....
[12:23] <williammanda> watched the videos on kaffeine
[12:24] <majoridiot> (you can watch the videos via mythvideo if the files are local to that frontend or on a networked drive available to that frontend)
[12:24] <williammanda> i don't use mythvideo
[12:25] <majoridiot> k. would simply it all into one interface, tho.
[12:25] <williammanda> so majoridiot would be better to answer that
