[12:29] help!!! [12:30] williammanda, did you break something? [12:31] my xorg.0.log.....unble to load "xf86ExecX86int10 [12:31] i get this error toward the end of the xorg..... [12:31] trying to get the svideo working [12:31] what is this file? [12:32] cant say i've ever heard of it [12:32] if it would load...i think it would work [12:32] could you paste your Xorg.0.log in a pastebin website? [12:32] so i can see the rest [12:32] hold on [12:39] http://pastebin.ca/466331 [12:39] sorry had to reload the "good" xorg [12:40] i have been working on this for about 7 hours today... [12:40] man! [12:40] wow [12:40] been following several guides [12:40] are you attempting a clone mode? [12:40] on tseloit now [12:40] or what is your end goal? [12:41] just tv-out? [12:41] well...it looks like one of two ways... [12:41] cloning or 2 separate screens [12:41] i can't get either going [12:42] well this is the trouble [12:42] # [12:42] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768" [12:42] # [12:42] (EE) NVIDIA(0): The requested configuration of display devices is not [12:42] # [12:42] (EE) NVIDIA(0): supported in the hardware. [12:42] more so then that xf86ExecX86int10 i think [12:42] if you are trying to do clone resolutions, both tv and monitor need to support that resolution [12:43] hummm [12:43] so do them as seperate [12:43] or better yet [12:43] twinview [12:44] twinview works with 6200 le? [12:44] nvidia [12:45] i follwed this for twinview... [12:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOut [12:46] and thats what you have? [12:46] right now [12:46] yes [12:46] well that is weird. [12:46] nvidia 6200 le [12:47] there is no reason it shouldnt support twinview [12:47] is that similar to what it spit out from nvidia-settings? [12:47] i'll reload the twinview xorg file and post the log [12:59] humm...something intresting just happened.... [01:00] my lcd monitor was blank... [01:00] so I decided to try the tv [01:00] i switched the channels around and I have the desktop on the tv [01:00] haha [01:00] there you go [01:01] but not on the monitor [01:01] so the two are switched? [01:01] si that the way it is supposed to be? [01:01] open up nvidia-settings [01:01] and you can switch the one that is primary i think [01:01] yes switched === jono [n=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv === hugolp [n=jo@89.129.159.124] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv === bendailey [n=ben@64.20.65.84] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [02:10] is there something good to read on the file structure of linux? [02:11] argh! does anyone know about openchrome? the picture is all distorted on the tv. just black and white, and garbled like HBO [02:13] sorry rogue780|laptop , no :( [02:14] well I'm gonna find out, then I'm going to put all my unichrome stuff that I learned in the wiki [02:14] awesome :) [02:14] thats what i like to hear [02:15] tgm4883, wikipedia i'd bet [02:17] bendailey, imbrandon stopped in and said things are going to be moving along smoothly with the domain :) [02:17] good to hear [02:19] thanks superm1, just checked it out, not really what im looking for. Ill just use google and hope i get something relevent [02:20] what are you looking to find out about file structures exactly? [02:26] success! [02:27] that was quick rogue780|laptop [02:27] :) [02:27] i really just want to know what things are for, for instance, why is bin named bin? why etc, why opt, sbin [02:27] that sort of thing [02:28] interesting that ive been using linux this long and have no idea what those are [02:28] etc stands for "Extra Tool Chest" so i'm told [02:28] bin I think is called that because it is where the actual binary programs are kept [02:28] the rest is a mystery [02:28] and lib is where libraries are kept [02:28] to me anyway [02:28] see there ya go [02:29] home is ...well no need to explain that [02:30] ok, so if i wanted to mount a nfs share for multiple users, where would i mount it? [02:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [02:30] what would take to put built in unichrome support into mythbuntu? [02:31] tgm4883, /mnt typically [02:31] thanks superm1, i looked all over for that, although i was searching for things like "unified filesystem" and "linux filesystem" [02:31] but that depends on its purpose really [02:31] rogue780|laptop, what was involved with getting unichrome going? [02:32] ex if you are mounting an area for temp space, it wouldnt make sense to mount it in /mnt [02:33] 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 [02:34] after first release (and hence we have a lot of the installer stuff sorted out), it should be feasible [02:34] mp3's, movies, user documents, pictures, CD's, misc files [02:34] I just downloaded the file from svn, autoconf'd it, make, make install...etc [02:34] why isnt the driver in feisty? [02:34] more importantly will it be in gutsy [02:34] tgm4883, like a home folder? [02:34] like several home folders [02:35] that's what I want to know. it's a free open source driver....probably just because openchrome isn't overly popular [02:35] except for us people who build our mythfrontends in old NES cases and need a small motherboard and are stuck with via/unichrome [02:36] i'll add it to my todo list [02:36] 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 [02:37] it would most likely make sense to mount in /mnt i think [02:37] for that purpose [02:38] ok, i was thinking that or either /usr/share [02:38] not /usr/share [02:38] thats not a good idea [02:38] now to set up lirc [02:38] some apps use that for other things [02:38] ah ok [02:43] is there a way to test throughput over a network connection? [02:43] i think my nic is acting up on my server [02:43] iperf [02:44] sweet thanks [02:46] hmm, looks fine to me [02:47] you can tweak quite a bit with that app [02:48] im thinking i need an extended test, as it seems to stall when transfering large files, then continues [02:48] its a good app though [02:49] scp or nfs stall? [02:50] nfs, and its just for a few seconds, then keeps going. Also, ssh takes a few seconds to return the password prompt [02:50] longer than on my mythtv box anyway [02:50] hm [02:51] (although the mythtv box is a much more powerful computer i would think that my server is adaquit) [02:51] the only thing im thinking is a gigabyte nic problem [02:52] my gigabyte switch went out so im only hooked up to a 100mb switch, heard bad things about that and auto-negotiation === wasabi [n=wasabi@ubuntu/member/wasabi] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [02:53] cant comment much there myself [02:56] my myth server is a 2.0ghz athlon XP with a gig-o-ram and a 350GB hd [02:56] it works nice [02:59] 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. [03:00] not afaik. [03:01] afaik? [03:02] as far as i know [03:03] lol, rogue|laptop, my server is a athlon XP 2000+ with 768 ram and about 700Gb space [03:04] pretty similar [03:04] my myth server is also my print server, itunes server, file server (samba and nfs), soon to be mail and web server [03:04] I just love ubuntu [03:05] mine just does file serving right now (printer has built in print server, doesn't work well under ubuntu though) [03:05] hopefully soon it will also be a backend slave for mythtv [03:05] anyway, my server used to be my windows gaming machine...but the games outpaced it [03:05] mine too [03:06] its like were the same person [03:06] so I made it a mythbox...my second and final attempt before I ditched the effort...and it worked [03:06] indeed ;) [03:06] now what is an itunes server? just serves other computers your music files or does it do more? [03:08] 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) [03:09] 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 [03:10] 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 [03:11] nice [03:13] 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?

[04:45] yeah in about 30 Minutes the recording grew to over 6G [04:45] hmm [04:45] that seems two large, let me check mine [04:46] HD or SD? [04:46] OTA SD on a Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 with no hw mpeg encoder [04:47] oh [04:47] hmm [04:47] thats way too large [04:47] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Recording_Parameters that is what I thought [04:47] my 1 hour HD recordings are only around 6.6Gb [04:48] Are you using MPEG4 or RTJPEG? [04:48] or something else? [04:48] well the HD recordings are already compressed [04:48] they stream in mpeg2 [04:48] right so you not transcoding them on the fly just dumping them to disk right? [04:49] yea, no need for encoding [04:49] although im not sure what happens to my SD now that I think about it [04:49] i capture it over firewire [04:50] Once I get some cash scraped I plan on getting a kworld atsc-110 to get atsc streams which will be mpeg [04:50] mpeg* mpeg2 [04:50] SD & HD over firewire?
