superm1 | williammanda, did you break something? | 12:30 |
williammanda | my xorg.0.log.....unble to load "xf86ExecX86int10 | 12:31 |
williammanda | i get this error toward the end of the xorg..... | 12:31 |
williammanda | trying to get the svideo working | 12:31 |
williammanda | what is this file? | 12:31 |
superm1 | cant say i've ever heard of it | 12:32 |
williammanda | if it would load...i think it would work | 12:32 |
superm1 | could you paste your Xorg.0.log in a pastebin website? | 12:32 |
superm1 | so i can see the rest | 12:32 |
williammanda | hold on | 12:32 |
williammanda | http://pastebin.ca/466331 | 12:39 |
williammanda | sorry had to reload the "good" xorg | 12:39 |
williammanda | i have been working on this for about 7 hours today... | 12:40 |
superm1 | man! | 12:40 |
superm1 | wow | 12:40 |
williammanda | been following several guides | 12:40 |
superm1 | are you attempting a clone mode? | 12:40 |
williammanda | on tseloit now | 12:40 |
superm1 | or what is your end goal? | 12:40 |
superm1 | just tv-out? | 12:41 |
williammanda | well...it looks like one of two ways... | 12:41 |
williammanda | cloning or 2 separate screens | 12:41 |
williammanda | i can't get either going | 12:41 |
superm1 | well this is the trouble | 12:42 |
superm1 | # | 12:42 |
superm1 | (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768" | 12:42 |
superm1 | # | 12:42 |
superm1 | (EE) NVIDIA(0): The requested configuration of display devices is not | 12:42 |
superm1 | # | 12:42 |
superm1 | (EE) NVIDIA(0): supported in the hardware. | 12:42 |
superm1 | more so then that xf86ExecX86int10 i think | 12:42 |
superm1 | if you are trying to do clone resolutions, both tv and monitor need to support that resolution | 12:42 |
williammanda | hummm | 12:43 |
superm1 | so do them as seperate | 12:43 |
superm1 | or better yet | 12:43 |
superm1 | twinview | 12:43 |
williammanda | twinview works with 6200 le? | 12:44 |
williammanda | nvidia | 12:44 |
williammanda | i follwed this for twinview... | 12:45 |
williammanda | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut | 12:45 |
superm1 | and thats what you have? | 12:46 |
superm1 | right now | 12:46 |
williammanda | yes | 12:46 |
superm1 | well that is weird. | 12:46 |
williammanda | nvidia 6200 le | 12:46 |
superm1 | there is no reason it shouldnt support twinview | 12:47 |
superm1 | is that similar to what it spit out from nvidia-settings? | 12:47 |
williammanda | i'll reload the twinview xorg file and post the log | 12:47 |
williammanda | humm...something intresting just happened.... | 12:59 |
williammanda | my lcd monitor was blank... | 01:00 |
williammanda | so I decided to try the tv | 01:00 |
williammanda | i switched the channels around and I have the desktop on the tv | 01:00 |
superm1 | haha | 01:00 |
superm1 | there you go | 01:00 |
williammanda | but not on the monitor | 01:01 |
superm1 | so the two are switched? | 01:01 |
williammanda | si that the way it is supposed to be? | 01:01 |
superm1 | open up nvidia-settings | 01:01 |
superm1 | and you can switch the one that is primary i think | 01:01 |
williammanda | yes switched | 01:01 |

tgm4883 | is there something good to read on the file structure of linux? | 02:10 |
rogue780|laptop | argh! does anyone know about openchrome? the picture is all distorted on the tv. just black and white, and garbled like HBO | 02:11 |
superm1 | sorry rogue780|laptop , no :( | 02:13 |
rogue780|laptop | well I'm gonna find out, then I'm going to put all my unichrome stuff that I learned in the wiki | 02:14 |
superm1 | awesome :) | 02:14 |
superm1 | thats what i like to hear | 02:14 |
superm1 | tgm4883, wikipedia i'd bet | 02:15 |
superm1 | bendailey, imbrandon stopped in and said things are going to be moving along smoothly with the domain :) | 02:17 |
superm1 | good to hear | 02:17 |
tgm4883 | thanks superm1, just checked it out, not really what im looking for. Ill just use google and hope i get something relevent | 02:19 |
superm1 | what are you looking to find out about file structures exactly? | 02:20 |
rogue780|laptop | success! | 02:26 |
superm1 | that was quick rogue780|laptop | 02:27 |
superm1 | :) | 02:27 |
tgm4883 | i really just want to know what things are for, for instance, why is bin named bin? why etc, why opt, sbin | 02:27 |
tgm4883 | that sort of thing | 02:27 |
tgm4883 | interesting that ive been using linux this long and have no idea what those are | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | etc stands for "Extra Tool Chest" so i'm told | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | bin I think is called that because it is where the actual binary programs are kept | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | the rest is a mystery | 02:28 |
superm1 | and lib is where libraries are kept | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | to me anyway | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | see there ya go | 02:28 |
rogue780|laptop | home is ...well no need to explain that | 02:29 |
tgm4883 | ok, so if i wanted to mount a nfs share for multiple users, where would i mount it? | 02:30 |
superm1 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 02:30 |
rogue780|laptop | what would take to put built in unichrome support into mythbuntu? | 02:30 |
superm1 | tgm4883, /mnt typically | 02:31 |
tgm4883 | thanks superm1, i looked all over for that, although i was searching for things like "unified filesystem" and "linux filesystem" | 02:31 |
superm1 | but that depends on its purpose really | 02:31 |
superm1 | rogue780|laptop, what was involved with getting unichrome going? | 02:31 |
superm1 | ex if you are mounting an area for temp space, it wouldnt make sense to mount it in /mnt | 02:32 |
rogue780|laptop | well I just had to follow the tutorial on the ubuntu site about openchrome mostly....but then I had to find some random setting for xorg. that was the hard part, which is why I'm putting that on the wiki | 02:33 |
superm1 | after first release (and hence we have a lot of the installer stuff sorted out), it should be feasible | 02:34 |
tgm4883 | mp3's, movies, user documents, pictures, CD's, misc files | 02:34 |
rogue780|laptop | I just downloaded the file from svn, autoconf'd it, make, make install...etc | 02:34 |
superm1 | why isnt the driver in feisty? | 02:34 |
superm1 | more importantly will it be in gutsy | 02:34 |
superm1 | tgm4883, like a home folder? | 02:34 |
superm1 | like several home folders | 02:34 |
rogue780|laptop | that's what I want to know. it's a free open source driver....probably just because openchrome isn't overly popular | 02:35 |
rogue780|laptop | except for us people who build our mythfrontends in old NES cases and need a small motherboard and are stuck with via/unichrome | 02:35 |
superm1 | i'll add it to my todo list | 02:36 |
tgm4883 | sorta, the only thing user independent would be the user documents, the rest (CD's are all my ripped software, movies are all my ripped dvd's, mp3's , misc files are files everyone needs access too). Although currently it is temp mounted in my home folder for testing | 02:36 |
superm1 | it would most likely make sense to mount in /mnt i think | 02:37 |
superm1 | for that purpose | 02:37 |
tgm4883 | ok, i was thinking that or either /usr/share | 02:38 |
superm1 | not /usr/share | 02:38 |
superm1 | thats not a good idea | 02:38 |
rogue780|laptop | now to set up lirc | 02:38 |
superm1 | some apps use that for other things | 02:38 |
tgm4883 | ah ok | 02:38 |
tgm4883 | is there a way to test throughput over a network connection? | 02:43 |
tgm4883 | i think my nic is acting up on my server | 02:43 |
superm1 | iperf | 02:43 |
tgm4883 | sweet thanks | 02:44 |
tgm4883 | hmm, looks fine to me | 02:46 |
superm1 | you can tweak quite a bit with that app | 02:47 |
tgm4883 | im thinking i need an extended test, as it seems to stall when transfering large files, then continues | 02:48 |
tgm4883 | its a good app though | 02:48 |
superm1 | scp or nfs stall? | 02:49 |
tgm4883 | nfs, and its just for a few seconds, then keeps going. Also, ssh takes a few seconds to return the password prompt | 02:50 |
tgm4883 | longer than on my mythtv box anyway | 02:50 |
superm1 | hm | 02:50 |
tgm4883 | (although the mythtv box is a much more powerful computer i would think that my server is adaquit) | 02:51 |
tgm4883 | the only thing im thinking is a gigabyte nic problem | 02:51 |
tgm4883 | my gigabyte switch went out so im only hooked up to a 100mb switch, heard bad things about that and auto-negotiation | 02:52 |
=== wasabi [n=wasabi@ubuntu/member/wasabi] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv | ||
superm1 | cant comment much there myself | 02:53 |
rogue780|laptop | my myth server is a 2.0ghz athlon XP with a gig-o-ram and a 350GB hd | 02:56 |
rogue780|laptop | it works nice | 02:56 |
rogue780|laptop | is there a way to adjust the scan of the actual tuner? my situation is this, when it records a show there is about an 8-12 pixel vertical black bar on the left of the screen. it's in the actual movie file, not just a display issue. | 02:59 |
superm1 | not afaik. | 03:00 |
rogue780|laptop | afaik? | 03:01 |
superm1 | as far as i know | 03:02 |
tgm4883 | lol, rogue|laptop, my server is a athlon XP 2000+ with 768 ram and about 700Gb space | 03:03 |
tgm4883 | pretty similar | 03:04 |
rogue780|laptop | my myth server is also my print server, itunes server, file server (samba and nfs), soon to be mail and web server | 03:04 |
rogue780|laptop | I just love ubuntu | 03:04 |
tgm4883 | mine just does file serving right now (printer has built in print server, doesn't work well under ubuntu though) | 03:05 |
tgm4883 | hopefully soon it will also be a backend slave for mythtv | 03:05 |
rogue780|laptop | anyway, my server used to be my windows gaming machine...but the games outpaced it | 03:05 |
tgm4883 | mine too | 03:05 |
tgm4883 | its like were the same person | 03:06 |
rogue780|laptop | so I made it a mythbox...my second and final attempt before I ditched the effort...and it worked | 03:06 |
rogue780|laptop | indeed ;) | 03:06 |
tgm4883 | now what is an itunes server? just serves other computers your music files or does it do more? | 03:06 |
rogue780|laptop | well I have my windows computer, my linux desktop, and my dualbootin' rootin' tootin' windows/ubuntu laptop (I only use the windows side for studying the PFE with PFE gold, and itunes) | 03:08 |
rogue780|laptop | and I might want to sync my ipod with any of those computers, or just listen to my music library from any of those computers | 03:09 |
rogue780|laptop | so I have my entire (about 15GB) itunes library hosted on my server, and I point itunes to a mapped drive that gives me access to my itunes library from any computer | 03:10 |
tgm4883 | nice | 03:11 |
rogue780|laptop | don't you just *love* it when you think you paid a $700 bill, but the check got lost in the mail, and you spent the money that was supposed to go to the company? | 03:13 |
rogue780|laptop | I sure do | 03:13 |
rogue780|laptop | NOT | 03:13 |

bendailey | my question was about recording size on a defuault mythtv install | 04:44 |
tgm4883_laptop | ok | 04:44 |
tgm4883 | like how big the file sizes are? | 04:44 |
bendailey | yeah in about 30 Minutes the recording grew to over 6G | 04:45 |
tgm4883 | hmm | 04:45 |
tgm4883 | that seems two large, let me check mine | 04:45 |
tgm4883 | HD or SD? | 04:46 |
bendailey | OTA SD on a Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 with no hw mpeg encoder | 04:46 |
tgm4883 | oh | 04:47 |
tgm4883 | hmm | 04:47 |
tgm4883 | thats way too large | 04:47 |
bendailey | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Recording_Parameters that is what I thought | 04:47 |
tgm4883 | my 1 hour HD recordings are only around 6.6Gb | 04:47 |
bendailey | Are you using MPEG4 or RTJPEG? | 04:48 |
bendailey | or something else? | 04:48 |
tgm4883 | well the HD recordings are already compressed | 04:48 |
tgm4883 | they stream in mpeg2 | 04:48 |
bendailey | right so you not transcoding them on the fly just dumping them to disk right? | 04:48 |
tgm4883 | yea, no need for encoding | 04:49 |
tgm4883 | although im not sure what happens to my SD now that I think about it | 04:49 |
tgm4883 | i capture it over firewire | 04:49 |
bendailey | Once I get some cash scraped I plan on getting a kworld atsc-110 to get atsc streams which will be mpeg | 04:50 |
bendailey | mpeg* mpeg2 | 04:50 |
bendailey | SD & HD over firewire? | 04:50 |
tgm4883 | yea from my STB | 04:50 |
bendailey | so your STB is dumping you an mpeg2 stream either way | 04:51 |
tgm4883 | my SD recordings are only about 1.2Gb for 30 minutes | 04:51 |
tgm4883 | thats what i figured | 04:51 |
bendailey | gtg work calling | 04:52 |
bendailey | thanks for the input | 04:52 |
tgm4883 | np, wish i could help more | 04:52 |

william_ | what is the script that auto start mythbackend? | 12:03 |
Daviey | /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend ? | 12:06 |
william_ | ty | 12:07 |
william_ | if i wanted to start a program on boot up...how could I do that? | 12:13 |
Daviey | the ubuntu packages should do that for you automatically | 12:14 |
Daviey | (or is this non-mythtv)? | 12:14 |
william_ | yes non myth | 12:15 |
Daviey | okay.. what stage do you want it executed? | 12:15 |
Daviey | (with gnome) or before? | 12:15 |
william_ | ? have no idea | 12:15 |
william_ | i'm using both gnome and kde | 12:16 |
Daviey | then you probably need to add it as a runlevel daemon | 12:19 |
Daviey | what is the app? | 12:19 |

william_ | not sure...just trying to understand what I need to do if I want to auto load something at bootup | 12:24 |
Daviey | william_, okay.. you have various 'run levels' | 12:25 |
Daviey | see them: http://www.help2go.com/Tutorials/Linux%10UNIX/Linux_Runlevels.html | 12:26 |
Daviey | you have /etc/rc0.d - to -- /etc/rc6.d | 12:27 |
Daviey | these are the different runlevels | 12:27 |
Daviey | but first you need to make a startup/stop script to drop into /etc/init.d/ | 12:27 |
Daviey | there is an example in there IIRC | 12:28 |
william_ | ty | 12:28 |
