defendguin_if so i can set it to be repeat 2 to make it more responsive?12:27
superm1you will have to adjust that to what feels most responsive12:27
superm1for butons that you hold down it makes sense to use12:27
Davieyi think it means it won't repeat for so many seconds12:27
defendguin_hmmm12:28
Davieyie holding down volume doesn't shot up/down12:28
defendguin_that doesnt seem right12:28
defendguin_i can press channel up more than once every 3 seconds12:28
Davieyif it's 0 then volume will go from 100% to 0%12:28
Davieydefendguin_, but holding it down continuously?12:29
defendguin_if i hold it down it moves faster than once every 3 seconds12:29
Davieymight not be seconds12:30
defendguin_you can have one good press and it can register 1 2 button presses12:30
Davieymight be 'frames' or something12:30
Davieybut thats how i understand it12:30
defendguin_right12:30
Davieymight be incorrect12:30
rogue780|mythsvrI wish I still had photoshop12:32
defendguin_i guess i can change it all to 2 and that would make it a bit more responsive12:32
rogue780|mythsvrbut alas, my conscience caught up with me...but my bank account didn't.12:33
rogue780|mythsvrhey superm1, I'm working on a lirc configurator....goals are to be able to auto configure your lirc setup for the type of receiver you have, have the ability to say "I have this remote" and it'll be preconfigured for you. add a remote, remove a remote, make a custom remote, etc. anything else it should have?12:35
defendguin_button press sensitivity12:36
superm1rogue780|mythsvr, before you do that, there is a lot of changes going into lirc12:36
rogue780|mythsvrof course there are12:36
superm1find the ubuntu media center team's page12:36
superm1on wiki.ubuntu.com12:36
superm1they are working with upstream to make these changes12:36
rogue780|mythsvrit was my understanding that the UMC team wasn't going to use myth12:37
defendguin_freevo?12:37
Davieyrogue780|mythsvr, i did start righting a spec on launchpad for that12:37
rogue780|mythsvrelisa or whatnot12:37
superm1rogue780|mythsvr, they're not using myth, but they are taking over the lirc side of things12:37
rogue780|mythsvrthere wasn't anything for sure last time I check12:37
rogue780|mythsvred12:37
defendguin_elisa?  never heard of it12:37
rogue780|mythsvrone of their rationales for doing an UMC is that "mythtv is too hard to install and configure"12:38
Davieyelisa is an AI thing isn't it?12:38
rogue780|mythsvrmaybe...crap I'm thinking the wrong name12:38
rogue780|mythsvrI think it had to do with lisa though12:39
tgm4883_laptopnope, its elisa12:39
rogue780|mythsvrhttp://elisa.fluendo.com/12:39
defendguin_superm1: setting repeat to 2 instead of 3 seems much better12:39
rogue780|mythsvrlooks col12:39
defendguin_you don't need to hold down the button that extra half a second12:39
rogue780|mythsvr!@#!#!@#ing C&C 3 isn't detecting my internet connection right..it was working a few hours ago12:39
defendguin_damn that does look cool12:40
defendguin_it uses compiz i'm guessing12:41
rogue780|mythsvrthe major thing that pulled me to mythtv though was the distributed nature of the setup.12:41
defendguin_i guess lots of people only have the one pc which this would work well for12:44
Davieyi honestly can't remember what brought me to myth12:45
Davieyi think myth found me ;)12:45
rogue780|mythsvrI do agree though that the mythtv interface needs an (excuse the horrible pun) interfacelift12:45
tgm4883_laptopi love that site12:45
defendguin_:-D12:45
tgm4883_laptopalmost all my backgrounds come from there12:46
rogue780|mythsvrI mean, the tivo interface is more intuitive, and looks much nicer...and it's processing power is about that of my computer 10 years ago12:46
defendguin_still a very young project though12:46
rogue780|mythsvrbrb...gotta reset my router12:47

rogue780|mythsvrbloody hell12:51
tgm4883_laptopit is12:52
Davieyrogue780|mythsvr, you sound very quiet... not sure it is working. Try shouting12:52
rogue780|mythsvrno...sorry. the illusive it is C&C's gameserver...12:54
rogue780|mythsvrstill ain't working12:54
rogue780|mythsvrthat's cool. I just figured out how to make a sphere by hand in the gimp01:10
superm1okay mates what did you guys decide on with the splash?01:49
Davieynope01:50
tgm4883_laptopwe decided that we want to use the logo from google images01:50
tgm4883_laptop;)01:50
Davieygoogle images?01:50
Davieywhat logo is that?01:50
tgm4883_laptopits a logo that may have been deemed "inappropriate" for this use01:51
Daviey:s01:51
Davieylinky?01:51
tgm4883_laptopjust search google images for ubuntu logo01:52
tgm4883_laptopthere are a couple01:52
superm1well want to give me the xcf (or maybe each of them already scaled) and i'll reupload to revu with the new licensing01:54

Davieytgm4883_laptop, ahh i know the ones01:58
DavieyI would also suggest removing the ubuntu logo & mythtv logo at the bottom01:59
Davieylooks kinda bloated now01:59
Davieyalso, since i played with it -> the main text is no longer central02:01
superm1yea i was thinking the same thing about the bottom logos02:01
superm1what i'd really like is a neat shadowing effect like that in use on the "Ubuntu" usplash02:01
superm1but i don't know how that was done02:02

rogue780Daviey, it's just a prototype...but I think you get the gist of it02:09
Davieyhehe... all mail takes be 5-15 mins to recieve02:10
rogue780eh?02:10
rogue780you'll get two e-mail from me...disregard the first...I didn't export it right02:11
Davieystill waiting02:15
superm1Daviey, ubuntuwire.com mail is slow for you too?02:17
Daviey:)02:25
Davieyto be fair; where that goes to also greylists all mail02:26
Davieyi have an ieee computer.org alias aswell, that forwards to ubuntuwire, that forwards to my real one02:26
Davieybit stupid really02:27
Davieysuperm1, have you noticed less spam with motu-reviewers mailinglist?02:27
superm1well even ubuntuwire.com jabber is really slow for me02:28
superm1lately yes02:29
superm1either that or gmail is getting better at catching it02:29
Davieyjabber - been a yoyo recently eh?02:29
=== Daviey has also forgotten his pw - wonder if i can retrieve it from gaim

Davieysuperm1, who built that?02:32
superm1well at the moment you can see what this ISO has so far and what is needed still02:32
superm1me02:32
Davieysuperm1, will look02:33
superm1its not ready for rampant widespread testing or anything, but you can get an idea of whats in mind right now02:33

superm1defendguin_, all added to the lirc howtos02:40
superm1thanks :)02:40
defendguin_your welcome02:40
defendguin_i don't know what that guy was thinking when he did the original one02:41
tgm4883_laptop52 seconds till mythbuntu goodness02:43
defendguin_huh?02:43
superm1wow tgm4883_laptop that was fast02:43
superm1tgm4883_laptop, dont have too high of expectations yet, this will just have the old ubuntu installer - but a fully functional live frontend functionality02:44
tgm4883_laptopno expectations yet, just checking it out02:44
tgm4883_laptopis it so small because most things are not included on the cd?02:46
rogue780I still need to write that unichrome how to02:46
superm1tgm4883_laptop, its small because only what we need is included02:46
tgm4883_laptopok, thats what i thought02:47
superm1oh you know what - i hope the menu splash is right on there (prior to usplash)02:47
superm1i forgot to check that since my last build and i did change things with it02:47
superm1so if you have a blank screen upon boot, just hit enter02:47
superm1now i wonder if i will be able to rebuild it quicker locally or just download from the server quicker to see for myself02:49
superm1defendguin_, I built an alpha of the mythbuntu ISO thats on the website02:51
tgm4883_laptopno mythbuntu goodness yet, i forgot to install k3b02:51
superm1install virtual box02:51
superm1or vmware player02:51
superm1or qemu or somethign to that nature02:51
superm1and just run it through there02:52
superm1defendguin_, it can be used as a live disk frontend, but the installer still needs to be finished up02:52
defendguin_nice02:52
defendguin_but i would have to stop watching TV to try it out02:53
superm1well i haven't even ran this build myself yet.  i've gotta download it yet and make sure everything still works :)02:53
tgm4883_laptopwhats that site to go to make vmplayer environments?02:54
superm1easy vmx i think02:54
rogue780yeah. easyvmx.com03:00
tgm4883_laptopyep, took me a minute to figure it out03:01
tgm4883_laptop:( no mythbuntu goodness03:05
tgm4883_laptopi think it may have froze03:06
tgm4883_laptopim gonna burn it and try it on my spare computer03:06
superm1k03:06
superm1woah looks like usplash didn't work.  thats a shame.03:08
superm1dont know if thats a side effect of virtual box or what not though03:08
tgm4883_laptopyea, it told me no usplash for 640x48003:09
superm1seems to not be logging in for me either03:09
rogue780so...i'm finding vmware+mythbuntu = myth03:09
superm1looks like there is some sort of unexpected breakage here then03:09
superm1not sure what happened03:09
rogue780I've got a spare box I'll try it on in the morning03:10
tgm4883_laptopwould that be the user error it was giving me?03:10
superm1yes03:10
superm1same thing i'm seeing03:10
rogue780I'm having issues with vmware and networking....and mythbuntu won't go far without working network for some reason03:10
rogue780it says (many times) ....e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang03:11
superm1okay for me its hanging after /etc/rc.local03:14
rogue780I'll test it on my skyos box tomorrow03:15
rogue780skyos has...potential I've decided....but it's a long way off from being usable03:15
rogue780enuf of that03:15
superm1rogue780, i think there are some other issues with the ISO.  i'll let you know what i find03:16
superm1i'll probably rebuild in a bit once i figure out whats happening03:16
rogue780ok03:17
rogue780well I'm off to be03:17
rogue780d03:17
rogue780I'll see all you're happy faces 2morrow03:18
rogue780always feel free to message rogue780|mythsvr .... that's my myth server (who would've guessed?) and when it's on, it's in here.03:18

majoridiotdoin support via forum pm LOL03:41
tgm4883that sucks, im in the middle of being sick03:41
majoridiot:(03:41
tgm4883and i've been waiting to ask you a question03:42
majoridiotshoulda hollered03:42
tgm4883(just what you needed after being sick right)03:42
majoridiotwhaz up?03:42
tgm4883i have a little problem with my mythtv setup and the firewire03:42
tgm4883any 4:3 program is messed up03:43
majoridiotmessed up... how?03:44
tgm4883it seems to be that it is stretching it to 16:9 and recording it, but when it is played back, it plays it back in 4:3 mode, but its still a 16:9 picture03:44
tgm4883thats a bad explanation03:44
tgm4883let me see if I can get a pic03:44
tgm4883also, superm1, im getting that "user not known to the underlying authentication module" even on my test bed03:44
tgm4883not virtual machine03:44
tgm4883and that was when I was trying to just test the cd03:45
superm1tgm4883, i'm trying to rebuild it with a change for the splash03:45
tgm4883(also no usplash)03:45
tgm4883ah ok03:45
superm1but i'm not sure about that errro03:45
superm1so i'll see what happens03:45
tgm4883it couldn't be an ACPI problem could it (I ask because it said my bios was before the cutoff date and acpi=off was forced)03:46

majoridiotsure03:56
majoridiotah03:57
tgm4883good ah, or bad ah03:58
majoridiotit doesn't look smashed... it looks displaced03:58
majoridiotwhen did this start?03:58
tgm4883i think right off the bat, never worked right, the HD is perfect though03:59
majoridiothm03:59
tgm4883it looks stretched03:59
tgm4883but not03:59
majoridiotonly on 4:3 programs?03:59
tgm4883yea03:59
majoridiotwhat if an HD channel switches to a 4:3 commercial- does it go wonky or look ok?04:00
tgm4883nope, HD programs with 4:3 commercials look correct04:00
majoridiotok04:00
majoridiotwhat happens if you try forcing aspect ratios... e.g. with the W key?04:01
tgm4883doesn't fix the problem04:01
tgm4883like zoom, 4:3, 16:9, etc?04:01
superm1try switching on the TV?04:01
tgm4883?04:02
superm1switch 4:3 or 16:9 on the tv04:02
superm1rather than in myth04:02
tgm4883ah04:02
superm1it will handle it a little differently then how myth does04:02
tgm4883i will try04:02
majoridiotjust goes to show... go for a whiz and things get sorted.04:03
tgm4883_laptophmm04:03
tgm4883_laptopcant change that04:03
tgm4883_laptopi assume its because im using the vga port, as i remember being able to change that when using my regular tivo on my tv04:04
tgm4883_laptopif I had to guess what was happening04:04
majoridiotcould be04:04
majoridioti have always had a problem with PIP with a fw chan and a pvr chan04:04
majoridiotone gets squashed smaller the 4:3 the other goes to 16:904:05
tgm4883_laptopi would say that the stb is transmitting the program in 16:9 (stretched) and since mythtv knows that its not HD, it only records the picture 4:3 (staring from the left, which is why i get the left side, but not the right side of the picture)04:05
majoridiothave you checked your stb setup?04:06
majoridiotsome have options04:06
majoridioton how to handle 16:9, etc04:06
tgm4883_laptopwhere would that be, im looking but cannot find it04:09
majoridiotmine is under menu04:10
majoridiothome04:10
majoridiotsetup-->cable box setup04:10
tgm4883_laptophmm, i dont get much in there, (front led display, ac outlet, rf bypass, and configuration)04:11
majoridiothm.04:11
tgm4883_laptopconfiguration just tells me info about the stb04:12
tgm4883_laptopi did find that 4:3 override is set to 480i04:12
majoridiothm.04:13
majoridiotit might be "just one of those things"04:14
majoridiot:S04:14
majoridiotLOL04:14
tgm4883_laptopill try changing the 4:3 override04:14
tgm4883_laptopinterestin04:14
superm1tgm4883_laptop, i figured out what was wrong with that ISO04:14
superm1i'll rebuild it in a few minutes04:15
tgm4883_laptopit seems like theres a problem with the box04:15
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, sweet04:15
majoridiotthe box as in STB?04:15
tgm4883_laptopmajoridiot, im in the user settings changing tv type and when i first got in here it was in 16:9 (stretched) but when i changed the YPbPr to a different setting, it changed to 4:3 (not stretched)04:16
tgm4883_laptopyea04:16
majoridiotaha...04:16
majoridiot'tis a clue04:16
tgm4883_laptopso it would appear that the box continues outputing the picture in 16:904:16
superm1majoridiot, do you by chance have a kubuntu iso or disk lying around?04:16
majoridiotsorry... no.  never even booted kubuntu04:17
superm1k04:17
tgm4883_laptopwell i turned off 4:3 override, so we'll see how this works now04:18
tgm4883_laptopi need to get some white tape, almost set an xbox live password without knowing it04:19
majoridiotLOL04:21
tgm4883_laptopmajoridiot, did you ever get that mess straightened out with the cable company?04:22
majoridiotnope04:23
tgm4883_laptopalso, in case anyone wants to know, the user settings where you can change your tv type and such is power>menu04:23

=== jono [i=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
superm1finals were finished Friday, so the last two evening were indeed spent at the pub09:12
superm1:)09:12
superm1i'm in the process of moving for the summer and packing up all my items, but i took a few hours away from that to relax and get some more mythbuntu items done>09:12
superm1so we have a very very alphaish iso on the site now09:13
superm1and text for all of the linked items09:13
superm1screenshots and all09:13
gardengnomethat's nice. i plan to dedicate some time to a short german howto for inputlircd today.09:13
gardengnomenice!09:13
gardengnomewill the installer support LVM?09:13
superm1sigh, unfortunately i dont think so09:14
superm1because ubiquity needs to support it, and for that to happen d-i needs to support it09:14
gardengnomethe graphical d-i you mean?09:15
superm1well my understanding was that ubiquity was mainly a frontend to d-i09:15
superm1and d-i can't handle LVM in the first place09:15
superm1but look at it this way - once 0.21 is released, its not really going to matter09:16
superm1with multiple recording directory support09:16
gardengnomeright.09:16
gardengnomeum09:17
gardengnomed-i does support LVM. i LVM'ed my debian sarge box using the installer.09:17
superm1it *does*?09:17
superm1then the ubuntu d-i must be hiding its support in tasksel?09:17
superm1or i overlooked it09:17
gardengnomethe ubuntu installer supports it as well. it's just the graphical installer that's lackinhg support, AFAIK, and i don't know if that's still true.09:17
gardengnometasksel? no. it's there in the partition thingy09:17
superm1well then i've been mistaken!09:18
gardengnomelet's see if i've got a 7.04 iso here09:18
gardengnomesuperm1: yep, it's offering me "guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" as a "partitioning method" in the server installer09:41
superm1hm well i'll poke cjwatson at some point then to find out if LVM is coming to ubiquity any time soon09:41
superm1i don't know how i missed out on that during server installs09:41
gardengnomeblame it on the finals09:42
superm1well i wonder if its only "server" installs that offer, and "alternate" installs dont09:42
gardengnomei only use server installs.09:42
gardengnome(can't stand the GUI stuff ;))09:42
superm1ook its getting late.  i should get to bed.  gardengnome if you'd like to take a look at the ISO (or at least the screenshots ) - see www.mythbuntu.org09:44
gardengnomethanks :)09:44
superm1okay night gardengnome09:45

superm1pong Daviey04:54
rogue780|laptopsuperm1, no joy on the new mythbuntu build04:57
superm1the 050707 one?04:57
superm1or the 05060704:57
rogue780|laptopthe 05070704:58
superm1oh really?04:58
rogue780|laptopyeah. tried installing it natively on my sempron 64 2.0ghz, 1gig o ram, geforce 5200, 120gb hd04:58
superm1it booted up and such right?04:58
superm1or what happened?04:58
rogue780|laptopit got to the point where I would expect X to start for the live cd04:59
rogue780|laptopbut then my monitor said "mode not supported" then it (my monitor) went to standby04:59
superm1does this happen with normal ubuntu disks too?04:59
rogue780|laptopit's an old Sylvania L115 LCD monitor...but it supports up to 1024x76804:59
rogue780|laptopsuperm1, negative04:59
superm1because i'm using the same stuff as them for going into livemode04:59
superm1did you try "Safe graphics" mode?05:00
rogue780|laptophm. that seems so obvious. I'll go try that in a few...I feel sheepish05:00
superm1hehe05:01
tgm4883is mythbuntu based on 7.04 or 7.10?05:07
superm17.04 atm05:08
superm1it will be a more stable dev platform (esp for ubiquity)05:09
tgm4883well its installing right now, although I have no progress bar (i know its progressing because it tells you what its doing)05:10
superm1yea i think this gtk theme i have chosen is causing that05:10
tgm4883found one thing that kinda looks funky05:11
tgm4883not really a problem though05:11
tgm4883after install before it reboots, it says "please remove the disc and press enter"  That is overlayed on top of the "powered by" section05:12
superm1Yea I noticed that too.  it only has cropped up here, since in regular mode such overalys don't happen05:13
tgm4883regular mode?05:13
superm1well as in not live disk05:13
superm1this is the first time that usplash has been used on a live disk05:13
tgm4883ah05:13
tgm4883so what should i be expecting from mythbuntu?  So i know if its working right or not05:14
tgm4883for instance,  should it auto login?  Cause im sitting at a login screen.05:15
superm1No it shouldnt.  brb though.05:15
superm1tgm4883, all of the other "magic" should happen when the installer is in place.  You should have everything necessary for a frontend installed at this point (except the automatic login - the installer will set that up)05:22
tgm4883ok, so i login as the user i created in the install (thomas) and run mythtv-setup?05:23
superm1well the backend isn't installed05:23
tgm4883ah05:23
superm1just run mythfrontend05:23
tgm4883that would explain why I cant run mythtv-setup05:23
superm1You actually should have been able to double click mythfrontend in live mode05:23
superm1before going into the installer05:23
tgm4883i didn't try that05:23
tgm4883but i do login as thomas and not as mythtv?05:24
superm1yes05:24
tgm4883ok, i'll test the frontend then05:24
tgm4883but i'll have to launch from terminal, since there is no icon05:25
superm1yea, normally it will be an automatic login so an icon wouldnt have been necessary05:26
tgm4883ok05:26
tgm4883and the mass mysql errors would be ok, since we would be pointing to a mysql database during the first run of mythfrontend05:27
tgm4883is it possible to have multiple installers on the live disk, one that allows frontend installation and one that allows backend and frontend installation.  Then just double click the one you want?05:30
superm1Well we're aiming to have questions during the installer05:31
superm1that choose which way to go05:31
tgm4883ah05:31
tgm4883well it appears i have gone as far as i can go, i dont have a network card installed in this yet05:32
superm1oh :)05:32
tgm4883i know, *smacks head*  there is one sitting on my desk05:32
rogue780|laptopsuperm1, ygm06:00
Davieysuperm1, I'm back06:00
Davieycan't remember what i wanted you for :(06:01
superm1haha06:01
superm1rogue780|laptop, dont see any mail yet.  i'll refresh06:01
Davieyah.06:01
Davieyi think it was the iso - usplash wasn't working properly06:01
rogue780|laptopsuperm1, sent it to you gmail account06:02
superm1Daviey, 050607 iso or 050707 iso?06:03
superm1rogue780|laptop, all i can say is wow06:03
superm1that is very pretty06:03
Daviey0606:03
superm1i like that a lot06:03
Davieyfw to me?  or imageshack?06:04
superm1Daviey, grab the 050707.  imbrandon's mirror was having trouble grabbing several packages, so the first build didnt come out right06:04
superm1Daviey, sent06:04
Davieyta06:04
rogue780|laptopsuperm1, and I can do some different stuff with the gradient too06:04
superm1so rogue780|laptop, your thinking to just use that and scrap the very bottom part powered by and such right?06:05
rogue780|laptopI liked the look of the circle that Daviey sent me--same as the one on mythbuntu.org--but I felt it kinda clashed with the rest of the text...06:05
rogue780|laptoprigt06:05
rogue780|laptopafter some thought--and a lower blood-alcohol level--I figured that people will probably know that mythbuntu is a combination of mythtv and ubuntu...and if they don't then telling them probably won't help them any06:06
superm1lol06:06
superm1yup06:06
Davieyagreed06:06
Davieyif we really wanted to 'advertise it' - we could add .org at the end06:07
rogue780|laptopso I'm going to make a few more and send em out your way to see which you like best and we can go from there. sound good?06:07
superm1soudns awesome06:07
Davieyrogue780|laptop, cc me?06:07
rogue780|laptopDaviey, will do06:07
rogue780|laptopDaviey, the current, or future? (i assumed future...but you know what happens when one assumes...)06:08
superm1Daviey, i talked to jetsradiem a few minutes ago06:08
Davieyhehe06:08
superm1about ubiquity06:08
superm1it is looking like *everything* will need to be preinstalled06:08
Davieyrogue780|laptop, i have the current one - is that the ubuntu logo i supplied 'depolished' or a fresh one?06:09
superm1so i'm testing a build with everything (including ubuntu-mythtv-frontend)06:09
rogue780|laptopDaviey, I grabbed the official ubuntu logo off the wiki about 20 minutes ago and used it06:09
Daviey:)06:09
Davieyi definitely prefer not having the extra 'm' at the begining06:10
rogue780|laptophey, how do you do that thing where you say something referring to yourself in the 3rd person in IRC where it just has an * where your name should be...such as "* rogue780 toasts his latest success" for example?06:11
rogue780|laptopanyone know what I'm even talking about?06:11
Daviey type /me xxxxx06:12

=== rogue780|laptop didn't do much laundry last week...so he ran out of clothes...
Davieynice06:14
rogue780|laptopso if you really want...and you'd have to help me get my webcam running in linux06:14
rogue780|laptopDaviey, was it you who tried to help me fix my apt+vm-ware issue?06:14
Davieymaybe06:14
Davieyyeah, i think it was06:14
rogue780|laptopwell I got it fixed...I looked for other people who had the same bug in the bugzilla...and sure enough found a solution06:15
rogue780|laptopI just had to do a complete remove through synaptic06:15
rogue780|laptopgo figure06:15
rogue780|laptopanyway...I truly must pick up the living room atm06:15
Davieyhave fun06:16
superm1Daviey, u used fakechroot before?06:17
Davieynope06:18
Davieyfakeroot though06:18
superm1i wonder if i might be able to build the iso with it06:18
Davieyactually i think i might have tried fakechroot when i tried to make a fake jail session for ssh users..... didn't work properly06:18
Davieywas trying to make a honeypot06:19
superm1ah06:19
superm1see if anyone could break from the chroot jail06:19
Daviey:)06:19
imbrandonsuperm1, the mirror should be fixed now, lemme know if it still does that again06:22
superm1imbrandon, it was happening again a few minutes ago yet06:22
superm1maybe half an hour actually06:22
imbrandonhrm ok , i just got off work , lemme drive home and i'll check it again06:22
superm1k06:22
imbrandoni changed from apache2 to lighttpd , i might go back to apache206:23
superm1imbrandon, it was happening during the debootstrap rather than apt-get's so i couldnt really retry either06:23
imbrandonk06:25
Davieysuperm1, you know about 'linitian' right?06:26
superm1yup06:26
Davieycool06:27
superm1Daviey, are you just learning about it?06:27
Davieybeen using it for some weeks06:28
imbrandonlinda is better06:28
imbrandonimho06:28
superm1if you install it and linda, they both automatically run during debuild -S -sa06:28
superm1on the source package at least06:28
Davieyjust wondered as a recent comment for myth'-usplash on revu06:28
superm1you still have to manually run on the resultant debs06:28
superm1i sometimes forget to run it on the debs, but run it on the dsc's only06:29
Davieyahh06:29
superm1i'm thinking i might just add it to my pbuilder launch scripts to automatically do for me to prevent stuff like that06:30
Daviey:)06:30
Davieydo you need a manpage?06:30
Daviey(for every package)?06:30
superm1not necessarily06:30
Davieywhat does this mean?  'changelog-file-missing-in-native-package'06:33
superm1imbrandon, do you have any tarballs of base system deb's generated on your repo?06:35
superm1similar to those described here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/07/msg01461.html06:35
superm1that no upstream changelog is being included in the package06:36
imbrandonsuperm1, one sec, lemme drive home , back in 5 min06:36
superm1k06:36
Davieysuperm1, in the tar file?06:36
superm1Daviey, its just a warning right?06:37
Davieyhmm06:40
DavieyE:06:40
Daviey:(06:40
rogue780|laptopoh. just to mention....I'll be able to provide a 1Mb mirror if ya'll want06:40
superm1Daviey, you can get more verbosity out of both linda and lintian06:41

superm1fstx, what are the outstanding current issues with sweden?09:56
superm1guide data?09:56
bendaileyfstx, sorry I justed looked date of the most recent message didn't realize it was spam09:57
fstxwell, first I did not realize I had to install xmltv, then mythfilldatabase --manual failed with a ton of10:00
fstxmessages, now I am running tv_grab_se --configure to see if that fixes it10:01
fstxnow tv_grab_se_swedb spits out some xml, but not mythfilldatabase tries to run it. Should I move the ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_se_swedb.conf somewhere else? btw where does mythtv put its configuration?10:09
superm1fstx, I'm not too sure about how xmltv stuff is handled unfortunately.  (I'm lucky to have zap2it in the US).10:24
fstxyou are lucky...10:27
superm1if gardengnome is around, he might have a few comments though10:37

gardengnomeah10:39
gardengnomefstx: does tv_grab_se_swedb spit out something that looks like EPG listings?10:39
fstxgg: yes it does. I am a bit further along now, I can watch tv, and some channels have listings10:43
gardengnomei assume you have found mythfilldatabase --file then ;)10:50
fstxgg: no, i did myfilldatabase --manual. after a while I just held down the return key..10:51
gardengnomehuh? are you a DVB user?10:51
fstxI have an analog card, and a dvb usb stick10:52
gardengnomeah10:52
fstxI think I will try the --file thing10:52
gardengnomefor the DVB stick, you can just the channel scanner10:52
gardengnomefstx: no, if mfdb works, you don't need --file10:52
gardengnome--file is used if mfdb doesn't know your grabber10:53
fstxi am looking at the source site (tv.swedb.org) if they have any info10:56
fstxbtw, are there any menus in playback mode, and if so, how do I get to them? I am sure this is in the FM:)10:57
gardengnomehit "m"10:57
fstxthx, then I got program guide, but then what?11:03

DaveMorrisdoh11:47
DavieyDaveMorris, there is an iso if you want to have a quick gander11:47
superm1still need imbrandon to set up the last step11:47
DaveMorrisgot my new server to setup, and the version of mythttv in feisty is the same as edgy still11:47
superm1DaveMorris, hold off about 30 min actually11:47
superm1i've got a new one coming up11:48
superm1with a few changes11:48
DaveMorrissuperm1: Ithe ISO install the base system as well?11:48
superm1the ISO install will do the entire base system yes11:48
superm1the next one will do a full backend and frontend install with all plugins out of the box11:48
superm1actually a LOT of changes, but visibly only a few will show up11:49
Davieysuperm1, can we create a changelog in the iso folder?11:50
superm1if i kept up with each of the changes, yes.  lol11:50
Daviey:)11:50
superm1after this build i'll keep track of things i change11:50
superm1the big visible ones are that the backend and frontend and all plugins are installed by default.  when the new installer is put in, it will remove the ones that arent needed11:51
Davieysuperm1, i've done the hard part - i've created a changelog file ;)11:52
superm1hehe11:52
superm1Daviey, can you read over the text i've put across the site11:52
superm1and catch my typos and add to it?11:52
superm1i thought i was pretty complete with it, but i'm sure i'm not11:53
Davieylooked pretty much okay11:53
Davieyi was going to change some stuff that you have since corrected - but didn't want to step on toes11:54
DaveMorrisok, I've got some new hardware to setup a backend on, if you guys will have an iso to use within a week I'll use that, if not I'lll do it myself, and then use my 'retiring' server for testing instead.  Although it'll be nice to sue the repos you guys setup11:55
Davieysue the repo's ?11:57
Davieythat sounds quite harsh11:57
DaveMorristhey should be on time instead then ;)11:57
superm1haha.12:00
superm1well the ISO is generating right now12:00
DaveMorriswhats the default filesystem for mythbuntu?12:00
superm1the process took about an hour last time on the 400 mhz celeron12:00
superm1although looking at the build log, i just caught another problem.12:02
superm1i'll start over.  give it about another hour.12:02
Davieysuperm1, i was thinking about trying to cluster the build process to use my LAN machines and yours....  As very little of it is actually compiling, not very pratical12:02
Daviey:(12:02
superm1well most of the time consuming process is just installing packages12:02
superm1imbrandon's mirror grabs them at 3500 kb/s12:02
superm1so the 400mhz celeron decides to go a bit slow at that12:03
Daviey:)12:03
DaveMorrisre my filesystem question?12:03
superm1but Daviey if you see anything on the site that needs updating at all, dont worry about stepping on toes12:03
superm1DaveMorris, the installer right now doesnt have a particular preference towards one way or the other - we are still using the default ubuntu installer12:03
superm1you can use whatever filesystem you will prefer12:04
DaveMorrisok, was just reading about filesystem recommendations on mythtv site, JFS seemed optimal for the recordings paration, and using ext3 for the config part12:04
superm1well i'm a fan of xfs for recordings partition myself, but jfs is supposed to be great too12:05
superm1just stay away from reiserfs12:05
Davieysuperm1, i don't expect we will get a huge rush of dl's when we first go live - but just incase, do you reckon we should only release via torrent for the first week after announce?12:05
imbrandonsuperm1, i have an upgrade for the box ( proc and ram ) just need to get the time to go install it ( probably be a few days ) , also i think i got the mirror stuff figured out, but it will be tonight before i have a chance to fix it 100%12:05
Davieywith mythbuntu.org being a seed aswell12:05
DaveMorrissounds like a good idea Daviey12:05
superm1Daviey, i think a torrent would be a good idea.  majoridiot's server in amsterdam can definately help a lot with that12:05
superm1then12:05
DaveMorrisalso make sure its run through mirrors before it gets digged etc12:06
superm1imbrandon, good good.  what do you think the mirror troubles have been caused by?12:06
gardengnomei can offer a few hundred gigs of traffic over BT as well12:06
imbrandonsuperm1, lighttpd vs apache12:06
=== Daviey is using an LVM & ext3 combo - i thought i was using xfs aswell, clearly not
=== imbrandon is off to sleep
superm1then i think BT will be quite ideal, even if its just a few of us hosting it via bt.12:08
imbrandonnight all12:08
superm1night imbrandon12:08
=== fstx [n=fstx@c83-253-239-72.bredband.comhem.se] has left #ubuntu-mythtv []
imbrandonif its via BT i can have another 100MB/s connection in the same DC ( diffrent provider and comp ) also seed12:08
imbrandonanyhow gnight12:08
DaveMorriscan myth cope with multiple sites for recordings yet?12:09
superm1not in the current release12:09
superm10.21 will introduce that12:09
DaveMorrisin 0.21?12:09
superm1yes12:09
DaveMorriscool, I have a 80GB and 120GB drive sitting around doing nothing atm12:09
superm1LVM is the most ideal way to go for the current time, but the live installer has no support for it unfortunately12:10
DavieyDaveMorris, LVM is ideal - makes the hd's appear as one device12:10
superm1but software raid is another possibilitiy12:10
Davieyso you could have a 200GB 'drive'12:11
superm1or even possibility12:11
Davieylvm is so easy to set up tho12:11
DaveMorrisDaviey: but a pain if one disk dies12:11
DavieyTrue12:11
Davieybut if is  just recordings - is it a huge loss?12:11
DaveMorrisI'd rather lose 80GB of data than 200GB12:11
Davieyfair nuff12:12
DaveMorrisalso as I'm poor I'm gonna buy a 500GB SATA drive in a few months time, after I've setup the box12:12
DaveMorrisand I don't wanna try and add that into the LVM12:13
DavieySATA - what's that the <grin>12:13
superm1Daviey, http://pastebin.ca/47615312:13
Davieythe only sata devices - laptop12:14
superm1i'm not sure what to do about that, since we need to have mysql-server installed in the env now, but it wants to start during install12:14
superm1cleaned up the other problem that was happening though12:14
Davieyhmm12:15
=== rogue780|laptop loves xfs
Davieysuperm1, when did that error get introduced?12:15
superm1well thats what i'm wondering, i didnt see it in local builds on my laptop12:16
superm1but today, after adding in a lot more apps12:16
rogue780|laptopI may have missed it...but what's the advantages/disadvantages of lvm over raid?12:16
superm1you know what, i think i know why its happening12:16
Davieysuperm1, starting before --config?12:17
Davieycare to share? :)12:18
superm1double checking to make sure i'm right12:19
superm1it really seems like its because /proc isnt mounted12:19
superm1or better yet staying mounted12:19
superm1but it is12:20
superm1hm12:20
Davieyi can't think of any reason it would umount12:21
superm1i'm going to start over and log the whole thing, you can watch it over with me.  i'll log it to ~/build.log12:22
superm1for my username12:22
Davieydevel  drupal12:23
