[12:26] <majoridiot> for shows you lose info from by dropping the db, etc... if you use mythvideo, you can access them through the frontend and it will use the internal mythtv player to play them back.  same for avis, etc.
[12:27] <majoridiot> but the files need to be local to that frontend or on a networked drive, as stipulated above.
[12:27] <majoridiot> (works quite well, actually)
[12:28] <williammanda> myth uses xine right?
[12:28] <majoridiot> it can.  i use mplayer, actually.
[12:29] <majoridiot> i'm pretty sure it can launch the player of your choice as long as you enter the correct options, etc. on the command line.
[12:30] <majoridiot> williammanda: was it dificult getting firefly going with myth?
[12:32] <majoridiot> williammanda: you can just add the programs you want to your existing lircrc file- mine has entries for mythtv, mplayer, xine, etc.
[12:33] <majoridiot> tgm4883: i believe superm1 still has a dapper backend running... and i have a feisty backend that i will be adding a frontend to soon.
[12:34] <williammanda> pretty easy to get going...
[12:34] <williammanda> followed superm1's directions to install lirc and....
[12:34] <majoridiot> tgm4883: what problems are you having with the nforce chipset?
[12:35] <williammanda> use lirc.conf & lircrc files from the myth site for firefly
[12:36] <majoridiot> which lirc modules did you build?  and pls link me on the config files..
[12:36] <williammanda> atiusb
[12:36] <majoridiot> i would like to add to the guide
[12:37] <williammanda> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Snapstream_Firefly
[12:37] <williammanda> for the lircd.conf & lircrc files only
[12:38] <williammanda> i had to adjust the volume and channels....
[12:39] <williammanda> just a minor change
[12:39] <majoridiot> and build with superm1's how to... building atiusb only?  also, could you pm me your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf?
[12:40] <majoridiot> actually, if changes were needed...
[12:40] <majoridiot> could you email me your lircrc lircd.conf and hardware.conf?
[12:41] <williammanda> ok...what's email?
[12:43] <majoridiot> did you get my pm?
[12:43] <williammanda> yes
[12:43] <majoridiot> k
[12:49] <williammanda> email not working
[12:50] <majoridiot> huh?
[12:50] <majoridiot> that's my addy.
[12:51] <majoridiot> if you copied and pasted it, make sure it didn't put the mailto: on the front of it,.
[01:12] <williammanda> i had email problems....just setup evolution this weekend
[01:12] <williammanda> i think it sent
[01:12] <majoridiot> yes.  just got it.
[01:12] <majoridiot> tyvm :)
[01:16] <majoridiot> williammanda: could you send your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf too, please?
[01:16] <williammanda> k sorry
[01:17] <majoridiot> np :)
[01:17] <majoridiot> would like to get this info included asap
[01:19] <williammanda> ok sent
[01:19] <majoridiot> thank you
[01:24] <williammanda> brb
[01:26] <majoridiot> biab
[01:34] <williammanda> what command do i use to get lirc to boot up each time?
[01:44] <williammanda> back
[01:47] <tgm4883> williammanda, is there some way to check to see if the mepis cd burned properly.  I usually check with k3b, but when it tried to check it it couldn't access the drive for some reason.  Is there a way to either md5 the cd or have the cd check itself similar to the ubuntu cd?
[02:08] <williammanda> i thought it brought up the md5 when burning
[02:12] <tgm4883> yea it does before it burns, but to check the integrity of the burn it has to make sure the cd burned right, which for some reason it couldn't do
[02:22] <rogue780|laptop> if superm1 shows up sometime, can someone tell him that I have a few usplash themes done for him to look at?
[02:22] <rogue780|laptop> thanks
[06:36] <tgm4883> well williamanda, i finally got it installed
[06:37] <tgm4883> of course, had to do some easter egg dyeing first
[09:26] <williammanda> anyone awake....?
[10:18] <superm1> let see, does ubotu have a !seen...
[10:18] <superm1> !seen rogue780
[10:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen rogue780 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:22] <superm1> thats a shame.  what about botsnack?
[10:22] <superm1> !botsnack
[10:22] <ubotu> Yum!
[10:22] <superm1> :)
[10:41] <superm1> k
[11:04] <superm1> aftternoon majoridiot
[11:05] <majoridiot> 'lo superm1
[11:06] <superm1> i saw a note this morning about rogue780
[11:06] <superm1> any mentions where these usplash'es were?
[11:07] <majoridiot> no... just that they were ready and he was looking for you
[11:08] <superm1> ah
[11:09] <majoridiot> nice trick, if you can manage.
[11:11] <superm1> well the log bot said that was at 2:22
[11:11] <superm1> i'm imagining GMT?
[11:12] <majoridiot> yes gmt
[11:13] <superm1> man i'm having horrible latency to these IRC servers
[11:13] <majoridiot> yes gmt- i sent a copy @ 19:30 local
[11:15] <superm1> well if your around with rogue780 shows up again and i'm not, can you see if perhaps some screenshots can be obtained
[11:15] <superm1> etc
[11:15] <majoridiot> yes
[11:15] <superm1> or anyone else in the room is here when rogue780 shows up again
[11:15] <majoridiot> will do.
[11:16] <superm1> now i gotta get these other packaging changes sorted out
[11:16] <superm1> i was thinking that all my complicated ideas can possibly be scratched
[11:16] <superm1> and revert back to an easier one
[11:16] <majoridiot> the simpler the better, eh?
[11:17] <superm1> well currently the question that asks about the root password is "high" priority
[11:17] <superm1> all the others are low
[11:17] <superm1> eg root username
[11:17] <superm1> host
[11:17] <superm1> etc
[11:17] <superm1> so what if just making that root password question a lower priority
[11:18] <superm1> and then if they *have* changed the password, they just need to reconfigure the package
[11:18] <superm1> not sure that will work for sure though
[11:19] <majoridiot> i thought you were checking to see if mysql had an existing pw and only prompting if so?
[11:20] <superm1> yes
[11:20] <superm1> thats what i was doing, but that has a condition that fails
[11:20] <superm1> - if the user is installing the package for the first time,
[11:20] <superm1> mysql isn't configured until after the question is popped
[11:20] <superm1> and hence isn't running
[11:21] <majoridiot> and the check can't be moved to after mysql is running?
[11:21] <superm1> if it can, i'm not sure how to do it:0
[11:21] <majoridiot> ah
[11:23] <majoridiot> ell, if it is the first install, isn't it therefore a safe assumption that there is no root password, so forget the prompt?  or is that the condition you can't check for?
[11:24] <superm1> thats what I was just wondering - if there is a way to query the status of a package
[11:24] <superm1> like if its in preinstal
[11:45] <superm1> hehe, i almost forgot to add myself to the mythtv-group.  thanks mythtv-setup wrapper scripts :)
[11:45] <majoridiot> :)
[11:45] <superm1> okay i am just going to set this to a lower priority
[11:45] <superm1> it works fine that way
[11:46] <superm1> and if you set a password, you can just dpkg-reconfigure the package
[11:46] <majoridiot> k
[11:46] <superm1> it will cover more people if you dont ask for the password
[11:46] <majoridiot> agreed
[11:47] <majoridiot> and those with existing mysql dbs *should* know if a root pw is aset and if so, what it is.
[11:48] <superm1> i do wonder though - why doesn't the mysql package ask you for a password to start
[11:49] <superm1> and to that effect, if it stores the password in use in debconf - hence maybe we can just take it from that debconf
[11:49] <majoridiot> hm.
[11:49] <superm1> it appears that if you dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 it *does* give you an option to put in a new root password
[11:49] <superm1> very interesting
[11:50] <majoridiot> nice
[11:50] <majoridiot> i'm getting backend errors on the new install... MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: Error getting codec params using old IVTV ioctl
[11:50] <majoridiot>  eno: Bad address (14)
[11:50] <majoridiot> seen it before?
[11:50] <superm1> oh yukc
[11:50] <superm1> can't say i have
[11:51] <superm1> what are the repercusisons of this?
[11:51] <majoridiot> hm.  get it on both of the pvr cards.
[11:51] <majoridiot> lil' jumpy... pic seems degraded a bit.
[11:51] <superm1> this is on feisty?
[11:51] <majoridiot> yes
[11:52] <superm1> also: MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: Could not set MPEG controls 1 through 1.?
[11:52] <majoridiot> no
[11:53] <majoridiot> just the eno 14
[11:53] <superm1> MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: Could not set MPEG controls 1 through 1.
[11:53] <majoridiot> on both vards.
[11:53] <majoridiot> color is washed out teribly.
