superm1Hey Daviey07:18
Davieysuperm1, i thought you had died07:24
Davieywhere have you been? :)07:24
superm1Daviey, i've been moving and dont have internet setup yet07:24
Davieyoic07:24
superm1so its been really weird without web access07:25
gardengnomeare your hands shaking?07:25
superm1yes yes they are07:25
superm1it was even worse, my cell phone antenna broke, so i couldnt even get onto gmail via that !07:26
gardengnomeoh my god07:27
gardengnomei'm sorry to hear that :(07:27
Davieysuperm1, checked i some of DaveMorris' changes to the script07:28
superm1so i'm glad to be on for the moment07:28
superm1what did he change?07:28
DavieyI also changed the date format to be YYMMDD07:28
superm1are they on bzr now?07:28
Davieysuperm1, changelog on lp - but mainly adding AMD64 support07:28
Davieysuperm1, yes07:28
superm1oh i hope that i uploaded the latest one directly from pegasus before he went changing stuff07:28
superm1i dont want to have to merge ;)07:29
superm1ooh proxy option07:29
DavieyI want to change the script to remove references to supermario and make it save to a central place.  Probably /storage07:29
superm1i like that07:29
gardengnomesuperm1: would you be interested in an adaption your mythtv debianisation to svn trunk?07:29
superm1gardengnome, you mean the weekly build script?07:29
superm1for 0.20-fixes?07:29
gardengnomesuperm1: no, i was mainly talking about the stuff thaT's in the .diff.gz07:30
gardengnomethink debian/rules07:30
superm1usually that stuff doesnt go into upstream07:31
superm1its supposed to sit at debian/ubuntu/mythbuntu level07:31
gardengnomesure, i never meant to submit it to upstream.07:31
Davieygardengnome, what is in there?07:31
superm1well upstream would be svn trunk, unless we're referring to different things07:32
gardengnomeDaviey: debian/rules, debian/control; anything that's needed to turn a source package into a debian package.07:32
gardengnomesuperm1: heh, sorry. i was going to package svn trunk. and i was wondering if you were interested in the necessary changes.07:32
superm1gardengnome, i've been very very very warry of packaging svn trunk07:32
Davieywhat i am saying is - why would we convert to svn method when it works currently? ;)07:33
superm1because once someone has svn available to them really easily, things can break for a lot of people07:33
gardengnomesuperm1: it'd be their choice ;)07:33
superm1there is a thread on mythtv-users about this that i commented on a little bit with this07:33
superm1looking to see if there was interest07:33
superm1and the consensus was that it shouldnt be made too easy for users to install svn trunk, because if there is breakage they cant go back easily07:34
gardengnomewell, i *am* interested which is why i'm going to do it. at the moment, i'm using marillat's 0.19 stuff which someone updated for svn trunk.07:34
superm1gardengnome, well your better off using our automated build script07:35
superm1for 0.20 fixes svn07:35
superm1because it can be switched to trunk very very easily07:35
superm1(matter of switching a single env variable)07:35
gardengnomei don't want release-0.20-fixes, i want trunk07:35
gardengnomeah07:35
superm1atm it will create a source package that is ready to be kicked off to a buildd or pbuilder or debuild07:35
gardengnomesuperm1: right. however, certain things like build-time dependencies will still need to be modified.07:36
superm1Modified?07:36
superm1for svn?07:36
superm1trunk07:36
gardengnomeyes.07:36
gardengnomethat's my point :)07:36
superm1oh i was not aware of this07:36
gardengnomefor example, mythmusic can use libvisual and taglib now07:36
superm1ah07:36
gardengnomethere even might be some new libs07:36
superm1hm07:37
gardengnomethat's my point. ;)07:37
superm1see i'm pretty torn here, i do like the idea of putting svn trunk builds together07:38
Davieysnapshots?07:38
superm1yea07:38
DavieyI dunno - people want bleedin' edge - then complain when it borks07:38
gardengnomeit also has the advantage of keeping in sync with trunk. otherwise, you'd need to make major updates every time a new release comes out.07:38
gardengnomewhich is like once a year :/07:38
superm1thats very true07:38
superm1gardengnome,  if you determine what needs to be changed, we can adapt it and put it on pegasus with a big big big warning that these are bleeding edge packages07:39
superm1etc07:39
DavieyWeekly builds - semi stable & semi broken :)07:39
gardengnomesuperm1: that's not a problem, i've already got a set of working packages. i just need to adapt that to your ubuntu packages07:40
Davieygardengnome, was it literally a case of running pbuilder?07:40
superm1gardengnome, so do you need a hand understand how debian packages work in this case, or just need to literally make the changes to add other build deps and such07:41
gardengnomeDaviey: i don't use pbuilder atm, but dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot worked well after adding some depndencies :)07:41
gardengnomesuperm1: i think my understanding of debian packages is sufficient to do it myself07:41
gardengnomei used to roll my own svn packages back in the day... ;)07:41
superm1k gardengnome, well if you have any problems or questions feel free to ping me and i'll give you a hand07:41
gardengnomescorpi has done most of the work already: http://home.arcor.de/scorpidnb/mythtv/READ_ME07:42
superm1i would really recommend taking our bzr branch07:42
gardengnomesuperm1: fine, sounds great07:42
gardengnomei'll set up pbuilder again.07:42
superm1and starting from that debian/* directory07:42
superm1because it grabs svn and makes tgz for you at least to base from07:42
gardengnomeon my old box, i used to have pbuilder with some wrapper scripts. i should get those again07:42
Davieygardengnome, can you check in your debian/ folder into bzr?07:42
superm1gardengnome, here is the address to do the bzr co from: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythbuntu/devel07:43
Davieygardengnome, are you in 'da team'?07:43
gardengnomeDaviey: i don't have bzr :( it's not ready. scorpi just kept updating marillat's 0.19 packages to work with trunk07:43
gardengnomeDaviey: nope.07:43
superm1gardengnome, once you are ready to check changes back into bzr, we'll add you to the lp team07:44

DavieyHave we heard anything from Garry Parker from parker1.co.uk07:45
superm1juski tried to contact him some time back07:46
superm1but didnt get through07:46
Davieyoh superm1, never heard back from MePo creater07:46
superm1i think i'll just submit the themes package without mepo in it then07:47
superm1until we hear back07:47
Davieyshame07:47
superm1its easy enough to add it via a debdiff07:47
Davieyjust important to get the main package in07:48
Davieysuperm1, you uploaded the usplash theme to revu with a different name07:48
superm1on purpose07:48
Davieywhy?07:49
superm1because thats how kubuntu follows the naming for feisty+07:49
Davieyahh07:49
gardengnomesuperm1: yay. :)07:49
Davieyi got the original one i uploaded nuked07:49
superm1yes i saw that email this morning07:49
superm1from revu07:49
superm1vg07:49
superm1Daviey, i wonder if i can submit this to revu leaving mepo in the source package, but just not installing it in the binary07:50
superm1so the source doesnt have to be regenerated in the future07:50
Davieybetter ask MOTU07:50
DavieyI would think they would say no - but technically can't see a problem07:51
superm1i think they'd say no too..07:51
superm1i'll just pull it07:51
superm1this package is huge btw, 90 megs for the source package07:52
DavieyIt's been almost a week since i mailed him....  I could try the forums...07:52
superm1garry parker?07:53
gardengnomeDaviey: he is available sometimes on #mythtv-users07:53
Davieyno the MePo guy07:53
gardengnomejuski knows him, AFAIK07:53
superm1well its not him we need, its the guy who did his artwork07:53
superm1his xml files are GPL07:53
superm1but he doesnt even know about the licensing on the artwork (and has a blurb on his site about it)07:54

gardengnomethe build script looks nice08:24
superm1(weekly build i'm assuming your talking about)08:25
gardengnomeyep08:25
gardengnomeit might better to include the revision in the version string instead of just using the date, though08:26
superm1well i guess for trunk that'd be more important08:26
gardengnomeyep.08:26
superm1well just need to be sure to stay consistent08:27
superm1do you know an easy way to grab that version number?08:27
superm1we can switch to that08:27
gardengnomei'm on edgy still, i wonder if i need to get the pbuilder deb from feisty.08:27
gardengnomesuperm1: svn info | grep something | cut something probably08:27
gardengnomeor capture the last line from svn co/svn up08:27
superm1didnt even know there was an info option for svn08:28
gardengnomeheh08:28
gardengnomesomething is very wrong here. i tried to do a "find -name something | grep somethingelse" in the minimyth build tree and the kernel OOPSed.08:29
gardengnomei think i need some fsck magic.08:29
Davieyfsck is black magic08:30
gardengnomeheh08:30
Davieyit fscked one of my partitions08:30
gardengnomei guess i'll modify work/debian-mythtv now and get acquainted with the build script later08:31
superm1yea it covers most of the complexities of the package08:32
gardengnomei wonder what kind of versioning schema should be used. "0.20-trunk-rXXXX" is not exactly a great idea08:33
tgm4883_laptopis there a certain amout of free space that is required on the recording partition?08:33
a5benwillisGood afternoon, can anyone help me get lirc_serial working under Ubuntu Edgy?08:35
Davieygardengnome, probably svn$date08:35
gardengnomeDaviey: we should ensure that the version is higher than the current release so as not to confuse apt08:36
superm1gardengnome, what about just adding a r### after the current svn$date08:36
superm1a5benwillis, what sort of troubles?08:36
gardengnomesounds sensible08:37
Davieya5benwillis, what guide are you following?08:37
a5benwillisI've tried several but am working from this one atm.08:37
a5benwillishttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Edgy08:37
a5benwillisI have a home-brew serial rx.08:38
superm1k a5benwillis what is happening for you then?08:38
superm1does the module load?08:38
=== MegaQuark__ [n=gary@pool-71-111-176-187.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
a5benwillisyes, module loads08:38
a5benwillisI get /dev/lirc008:38
Davieyand if you start the service?08:38
a5benwillisbut when I run mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 I get nooutpur when pushing buttons08:39
a5benwillisIts difficult because I have no way to test the receiver other than lirc.08:39
Davieya5benwillis,  what does - sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start give you?08:41
superm1a5benwillis, do you have multiple serial ports?08:42
a5benwillis LIRC IS NOT CONFIGURED08:42
a5benwillisstarted daemon08:42
a5benwillisonly one serial port per dmesg08:42
superm1ah and the daemon would not start if you haven't irrecorded your remote yet of course08:42
Davieya5benwillis, have you used 'setserial'?08:43
a5benwillissuperm1: I shouldnt have to confiigure the daemon to test whether Im getting signals from the remote though.08:43
superm1right08:44
a5benwillisyes,setserial to set uart to none08:45
Davieydid you make the reciever yourself or purchase it?08:45

Davieya5benwillis, pain - so it's never been tested :(08:47
a5benwillistrue,butits a pretty siple circuit..08:48
superm1a5benwillis, you've made sure that the serial port is enabled in the BIOS?  It will show up in dmesg regardless (on at least 2 of my machines that i know its turned off in the BIOS)08:50
superm1and the irq/interrupt are set appropriately to what you set in lirc-modules-source?08:51
a5benwillisI havent checked the bios08:52
a5benwillisgood idea08:52
a5benwillisI need to grab my logic probe from home, that should tell me if Im getting signal from the ir rx08:53
superm1from *home*?08:56
superm1you mean work i'd think...08:56
a5benwillisyes, enabled in bios08:56
a5benwillisNo, I have one at home.08:57
a5benwillisnot at work :)08:57
superm1:)08:57
a5benwillisshould irw work without the daemon running?08:59
superm1No, it connects to the daemon09:00
superm1and you need a lircd.conf09:00
a5benwillissuperm1: Gonna reinstall edgy.I wonderif following the first guide mucked something in the kernel up09:01
superm1well what guide did you first follow?09:02
a5benwillishttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=16349609:02
superm1ah a source guide09:02
superm1well you should be able to revert anything done there, and take out that /etc/init.d/homebrew09:03
superm1and /etc/rcS.d/S99homebrew09:03
superm1you've done that i imagine right?09:03
a5benwillisnot yet, couldnt get past testing mode209:03
superm1well that is going to mess you up for sure09:03
superm1ln /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc?09:03
superm1that will most definitely break things09:03
a5benwillisI diddo that but it doesnt stick09:04
superm1well when modprobing lirc_serial, that /dev/lirc0 should be made on its own09:04
a5benwillisIm testing this on another machine so I dont muck up my myth box. when I know how to do it right I'll install on myth..09:04
superm1if its not being made, then there is another trouble09:04
superm1ah09:05
Davieya5benwillis, took me a week to get working untill i followed the wiki guide ;)09:05
a5benwillisyes, lirc0gets made, no lirc though09:05
a5benwillisDaviey: I feel better now :D09:05
Davieyalmost gave up... didn't work when i went to bed... Switched on in the morning and it worked :)09:05
DavieyI look after the bookmark very carefully now.09:06
a5benwillisIm still trying to get a few init scriupts to work on this box as well. Once that and lirc are up I'll have a wife friendly myth box.09:07
a5benwillisI use Sat so I have to start a few "things" as well09:07
Davieya5benwillis, init scripts are easy.  There is a bare one / or just rip of another inside init.d09:07
Davieythen make a symlink inside the runlevel of your choice09:08
a5benwillisI have a few example scripts for starting a few daemons. I get a few errors from one.09:08
a5benwillisI can start everything manually of course andit works fine.09:08
a5benwillisyeah, I had the symlinksin there but took them out til I got the script right.09:09
a5benwillisDaviey: What IR receiver do you use?09:09
Davieya5benwillis, homebrew - used to use one on Nova-T - but then had to have separate when i split back/frontend09:10
a5benwillisI might have to buy one if I cant verify that this one I made works.09:10
Davieytbh. i purchased mine - it was only UK809:11
DavieyFor parts - all local suppliers wanted a quantity of >5.  Would have cost me more09:12
gardengnomesome of the patches will have to be updated, eg the debian patch09:15
gardengnomethe recording group stuff seems to break it09:15
superm1gardengnome, how does the recording group stuff work now?09:16
superm1is there like a primary directory steting?09:16

gardengnomei'll try to come up with a patch09:17
DavieyWill any of you guys us the different recording directories?09:17
gardengnomeyes09:17

superm1yes move it back out09:41
gardengnomesuppose i'll just delete debian/mythtv-backend/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/configfiles.09:46
superm1well there are lots of ways to handle it, probably moving it to the old location is easiest09:47
gardengnomesure, but i'd have to write a "clean" rule to move it back to the new place on dpkg-buildpackage clean, right?09:48
superm1right09:48
gardengnomesome people aren't happy with using --compile-type=debug and stripping the symbols later. someone told me that we'd be missing out optimizations then.09:50
gardengnomeguess i'll have to task again in #mythtv09:50
gardengnomethere's --compile-type=profile which will allow for optimizations while retaining debug symbols09:51
superm1when i looked at the source, i didnt see anything that would be taken out by --compile-type=debug09:51
superm1your sure that leaves optimizations and debug symbols, the compile type=profile09:52
superm1and these arent CPU specific optimizations or anything like that?09:52
gardengnomei'll talk to someone more knowledgeable later. i think that -O2 is not possible with --compile-type=debug09:53
gardengnomenot sure, though09:53
superm1K09:53
superm1well if anything, i'm always more preferable to -Os09:53
superm1rather than -O209:53
gardengnomesure, but if we use our own optimizations flags, we get to keep both pieces if it breaks09:54
a5benwillissuperm1: Banging my head against the wall lol09:54
superm1a5benwillis, :)09:54
a5benwillissuperm1: Reinstalled, followed the wiki. Loaded the serial module09:54
superm1gardengnome, let me know what they say in #mythtv bout the compile types09:55
a5benwillisgot lirc, lirc009:55
superm1and we can switch it around as needed09:55
a5benwillissudo mode2, nothing from remote..09:55
gardengnomesuperm1: yep. i'll wrap my head around the packages first, though09:55
superm1i say you need to checkout that device and make sure its working09:55
superm1with your logic analyzer09:55
a5benwillisI get this from dmesg:09:57
a5benwillis[17180180.760000]  lirc_serial: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found: kernel tainted.09:57
a5benwillis[17180181.760000]  lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver09:57
a5benwillisI'm not sure if that "tainted" message is bad or not..09:57
superm1i get that on my functional mceusb2 setup, so i wouldnt worry09:58
a5benwillisI have a Harmony remote. Would a mceusb recieverwork orshould I stick to the serial?09:58
superm1well i've never tried a remote other than the mceusb2 or mceusb i have09:59
superm1but the harmony can learn the commands for mceusb2 if you needed it to09:59
superm1i've been really happy with the mceusb2 myself09:59
a5benwillisk, I guessI'll test this adapter and if anythings in questionII'll just order one online.09:59
gardengnomesuperm1: is it still true that an additional package containing the dbg symbols is being produced from those packages?09:59
superm1yes10:00
superm1if you do it in a pbuilder though, you need an extra package thats not in the pbuilder by defualt10:00
superm1i have it in my local pbuilders10:00
superm1and the buildds have it as well10:00
gardengnomeok, just wondering10:00
superm1thats why the -dbg package of mythtv was dropped because of the symbol stripping functionality apport gives10:01
a5benwillissuperm1: Using anledIm able to testpower through the circuit all the way to the ir. I'll need my digital probe to check the ir output.10:04
a5benwillisthanks for all ofthe help!10:04
superm1good luck a5benwillis10:05
superm1let us know how it turns out10:05
a5benwilliswill do!10:05

gardengnomei have the feeling it's something embarrassing10:30
superm1dont you need a ; then10:39
superm1after the if [ ! -f Makefile ] 10:39
superm1er wait...10:40
superm1thats not what you added10:40
gardengnomeyeah, sorry10:40
superm1you added the if [ -a configfiles ] ; then10:40
superm1right?10:40
gardengnomeyep10:40
superm1dont use the semicolon at the end of the line i dont think if your only doing one command10:40
superm1for the move10:40
superm1also debian/rules isn't done in bash necessarily10:41
superm1i'm not sure you can even use that if10:41
superm1i saw during the clean target you just move unconditionally10:42
superm1at bery worst if the file is already clean, then nothing happens10:42
gardengnomeah.10:42
superm1s/bery/very/10:42
gardengnomethat might explains things. :)10:42
gardengnomei was afraid an exit code !0 would break stuff10:42
gardengnomethanks.10:43
hugolpHI I alter my PCM volume level to 100% and then when I watch live tv with mythtv and I rewind or go forward it goes back to 70%. If I change it again to 100% it stays there until I forward o rewind that goes back to 70%. How can I make it stay at 100%?10:43
gardengnomesuperm1: that's not true :( http://www.pastebin.ca/48364410:44
superm1ha. wow10:44
superm1wouldnt have expected that10:44
superm1hugolp, you have to change the setting in Settings/General10:45
hugolpthanks superm110:45
gardengnomesuperm1: i'll try something else then :)10:45
superm1gl gardengnome10:45
superm1how about you do a mkdir -p contribfiles10:46

Davieygardengnome, he's getting cable internet installed..... so your guess is as good as how reliable the cable guys are :)11:22
gardengnomeDaviey: ah :)11:22
gardengnomebecause i'd rather rewrite the packaging stuff instead of moving configfiles. the latter is just too annoying ;)11:23
gardengnomethe clean target tends to break when mv/cp can't find a file11:23
Davieygardengnome, to be honest - long term sounds better to rewrite to incorporate new changes11:23
gardengnomeyeah11:24
gardengnomei'd just need to move a few lines around i think11:24
DaveMorrispoke me when we're ready11:29
Davieyk11:35

superm1okay guys i think i'm back11:38
superm1my cable modem seems to not like me very much though11:38
DaveMorrisalways the way11:38
DaveMorrisDaviey: poke11:39
superm1i had better luck on my neighbors internet :)11:39
Davieyhere.. thanks11:39
superm1so we should update the team goals page11:40
superm1on w.u.c11:40
Davieywiki?11:40
gardengnomesuperm1: are you *sure* you don't want me to rewrite debian/rules to accomodate for the new location of configfiles/? that'd be a lot cleaner (and less annoying for me)11:40
superm1https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MythTVTeam11:40
Davieyi didn't even know that page existed!11:41
superm1gardengnome, how much of a rewrite are you talking?11:41
superm1hasnt been updated in a while though :)11:41
superm1let me parse through the stuff that was proposed and finished, and then we can go through the goals that are left and add to them11:42
DavieyOkay.... are you looking to set goals for mythbuntu or mythtv specifically?11:42
DaveMorrisI'd like to see goals we can work towards to have mythbuntu released with gutsy11:43
gardengnomesuperm1: not much. i'd just need to move the lines that handle contrib/configfiles up.. i'll tell you when i come up with something that's working and looks sane11:43
superm1i think goals for mythbuntu are more appropriate, since they also affect mythtv source package11:44
superm1k gardengnome11:45
superm1perhaps launchpad is a better place for this11:45
superm1under the mythbuntu heading11:45
DaveMorrislike are we gonna focus on mythbuntu for the frontend 1st, both or backend11:45
superm1well atm it works for frontend off a disk11:45
superm1i tried it with my roomates box11:46
superm1and he was even able to watch hidef off the disk11:46
superm1i'd like to focus on all three at the same time11:46
DaveMorrisok, also are we gonna build support in for mini-itx boards, specifically the openchrome drivers which need to be built11:47
superm1well that should be something that will need to be added11:47
DavieyDo they exist in deb format?11:47
DaveMorrisnot 6 months ago11:47
Davieygoogle-foo skills brb11:47
superm1i think the best approach to this whole thing is to prioritize the things that need to go into the installer11:47
DaveMorrisnot sure if thats a licencing issue or not11:47
superm1so questions that need to be addressed, BE, FE, BE/FE?11:48
superm1lirc?11:48
superm1detect openchrome unichrome11:48
superm1and detect if firmware is needed for anything on the machine11:48
Davieyseems not - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome  (last edited recently)  - still need SVN...  DaveMorris do you have a mini-itx box?11:48
DaveMorriswe'll need scripts to download the firmware11:48
superm1setup binary drivers11:48
superm1setup tv out11:48
DaveMorrisDaviey: Yes11:48
DaveMorriswith PAL TV-OUT11:48
DavieyDaveMorris, can you look into debianiazing it?11:49
DaveMorrissure11:49
superm1aye, so no build env on disk will be the goal11:49
superm1have binaries of everything11:49
Davieysuperm1, lirc - i thought we were putting it on hold in favour of the Media Centre guys?11:49
superm1exactly11:49
DaveMorriswe're not allowed to ship the firmware for cards are we, so we need scripts to grab those for the backends11:49
superm1after they finish it off, we can still configure it11:50
superm1yes11:50
DaveMorriswho'sg11:50
superm1unless we can get the +1 from companies whom have the firmware11:50
DaveMorriswho's gonna add these to launchpad?11:50
DavieyDaveMorris, are you sure licencing doesn't allow shipment.... An email might be worth it.  ITX seem quite linux friendly11:50
superm1i can after i finish up cleaning this mythtv team page unless one of you really wants to11:50
DaveMorrisI'm not sure but I'll find out why they aren't in ubuntu11:51
DavieyNext we need to look at other ways of making mythbuntu rock11:52
DaveMorrisis the frontend just gonna have mythtv in, or the plugins as well11:52
DavieyI mean, what are other Mythtv distro's doing that we aren't?11:53
DaveMorrisan option to install a readonly frontend to flash card would be cool11:53
Davieysoundn't be too hard11:53
Davieyflashcard / usb pendrive11:53
superm1all plugins are installed by default atm .  thats another question that will need to be asked in the installer11:53
DavieyI would like to see an Advanced option and a Basic -> basic installs everything and doesn't ask, advanced asks all these questions11:54
Davieyneed to draw a tree really with all possible options we need to add to ubiquity11:54
superm1Well some of these questions are relevant only if particular hardware will be present though11:54
superm1Had one at one point, but it got scrapped because it was getting too large and complex11:55
DavieyHow many people use non-standard hardware?11:55
DaveMorrismight also wanna look at getting the various sound cards to work11:55
DaveMorris5.1, digital, stero11:55
Davieybeen some recent bug reports about sound.11:56
superm1i'll see if i can get jetsaridem to pop in11:56
superm1and majoridiot too11:56
superm1and add some input11:56
DavieyHaven't seen much of majoridiot recently11:56
DaveMorrisalso we should try and guess the mpeg decoder needed by the frontend, and is there a way to auto dected a backend?11:56
Davieybroadcast ping?11:57
Davieyon mythbackend port?11:57
superm1backend autodetection is coming in the next release of mythtv11:57
superm1from what i heard11:57
Davieywe'll ignore that then :)11:57
superm1there is a branch that handles auto configuration of a lot of things11:57
superm1including tuners from what i understood11:58
Davieythis year or next?11:58
superm1so thinking about the possibility of a "Standard" or "Advanced" install11:58
superm1well next release, whenever it is11:58
Davieynormally end of summer isn't it?  October time?11:58
superm1no "normal" time11:58
DaveMorrisalso we might wanna change the default file system on the backend so its not ext311:59
superm1myth releases arent really predictable until they get closer11:59
superm1DaveMorris, either that or enable slow deletes by default11:59
Davieybut why use ext3?11:59
DaveMorrisext3 is the ubuntu default I think11:59
superm1good point11:59
DaveMorrisadvanced options would be to easily setup muliple backends12:00
superm1so for a std install, perhaps install a FE/BE with all plugins12:00
DavieyWho was looking at hacking ubiquity?12:00
superm1and then do hardware questions as needed12:00
Davieythemes-unoffical?12:01
superm1yes and that by default for std12:01
DaveMorrisdo we know any artists?12:01
superm1jetsradiem was for a while, and i started to, but then finals came around12:01
superm1and i had to step back from putting too much time into everything12:01
DavieyI went through it briefly - it's a real mess!12:01
DaveMorrisfinals are great, I'm just signing onto a Masters :/12:01
superm1just spoke with jetsradiem, he cant stop in, but i'll cc him a transcript of our talk here12:02
DavieyDaveMorris, are you being sponsored?12:02
superm1he is emailing one of the installer guys about some more info that he needed that he will then CC me12:02
DaveMorrisyeah, best bit of working in a uni12:02
DavieyDaveMorris, rogue780|mythser seems quite handy with gimp12:03
superm1okay back to what i was saying about what goes into std.  so we have be/fe, all plugins, all themes and only provide the hardware questions depending on the hardware that is detecting12:03
superm1anything else we need for a standard install?12:03
DaveMorrisauto start myth on boot up, and auto log into ubuntu12:04
Davieysuperm1, should we do autodetection with v1?12:04
superm1all done already :)12:04
DaveMorriswe doing the std install on gnome?12:04
Davieynope12:04
superm1the ubuntu-mythtv-frontend package that i wrote earlier does that12:04
superm1and it also parses for nvidia settings or lirc irxec info if they install it12:04
Davieydidn't know that either12:05
DaveMorrisI'm just wondering if sorting out the sound problems for users etc will be easier on gnome, as they will get help from most people then12:05
superm1DaveMorris,  our env is highly customized with openbox12:05
superm1for the wm12:05
DavieyDaveMorris, have you tried the ISO in a virtual machine?12:05
DaveMorrisnope, I booted it up on real hardware12:05
Davieyokay - have you tried installing :)12:06
DaveMorristook a couple of attempts once it was loaded to launch the myth frontend12:06
DaveMorrisnope, I need to sort my hardware out 1st12:06
Davieyodd - do you know why?12:06
DaveMorrismy incompentence, expecting it to be like gnome :)12:06
DavieyDaveMorris, we did initially think about having a full gnome install - as a 'passive' advertising12:07
DaveMorrisbut thats it.  People are going to expect the desktop to be like gnome if they have to interact with it12:07
Davieybut don't think we can fit it on the ISO - so we dropped that12:07
superm1there is no way that a full ubuntu-desktop install will fit on the ISO with all of our stuff12:07
superm1our stuff + X is at 350 right now12:07
gardengnomeremove openoffice.org12:07
superm1its going to be another 50-100 after the unofficial themes are added12:07
DaveMorrisprehaps do a dvd with gnome12:08
DaveMorris:)12:08
Davieyalso openbox should start faster than gnome - which is a plus for everday useage12:08
superm1well DaveMorris what in gnome did you miss?12:08
=== DaveMorris never turns his frontend off
superm1i mean we can always add functionality to our env12:08
DavieyDaveMorris, i do when the electric bill comes in - then get back to my old habits12:09
DaveMorrissuperm1: nothing I can think of.12:09
DaveMorrisDaviey: mini-itx are cheap, about 25w at full load :)12:09
Davieythink it could be a bad idea to maintain a dvd iso12:10
superm1i think for now its better to leave gnome out, and get the rest done12:10
DaveMorrisatm yes12:10
superm1if we have room on the disk, consider it12:10
Davieyagreed12:10
gardengnomesorry for interrupting you guys, but could someone tell me please the package content of mythtv-backend? (eg pastebin 'apt-file show mythtv-backend')? i don't have a feisty box handy and launchpad... well, it's weird.12:10
superm1but i think the disk is going to keep filling up more and more (adding mythweb adds apache, etc)12:10
superm1http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=mythtv-backend&version=feisty&arch=i38612:11
DavieyOkay... what are our immediate goals?12:12
=== Daviey thinks ubiquity
gardengnomesuperm1: thanks12:12
superm1well i think ubiquity is the big one for all of this12:12
superm1i think the standard install is a good immediate goal12:12
superm1and then add the advanced afterwords12:12
superm1after talking to jetsradiem though, it appears they might just be one in the same12:13
DavieySo we just need to hook in the extra packages?12:13
DaveMorrisso if we break the std install goal down into smaller ones which people can pick up and look into12:13
superm1reasoning being is that ubiquity is really a debconf frontend12:13
superm1so when we do a standard install, it is more like enabling options for every piece of the advanced12:13
superm1yes DaveMorris12:14
superm1being that it is indeed a debconf frontend, it is easier to remove packages at the end by marking them in apt to be wiped12:14
superm1and have everything preinstalled12:14
DaveMorrisalso prehaps have a list of hardware people have access to so we can make sure we're not duplicating testing, or someone isn't doing it all12:14
superm1indeed good idea12:15
superm1so the next big complication12:15
superm1mythtv-setup12:15
superm1i have all of the work necessary to launch it at the end of the install prior to reboot done12:15
Davieymythtv-setup does little more than add stuff to the db, right?12:15
Daviey(and tuning ofc)12:15
superm1well it configures the db for the first time12:15
superm1some of the stuff done in it can be done by us12:16
superm1with mysql commands12:16
Davieythat''s what i was about to say!12:16
superm1thats 3 times today DaveMorris12:16
superm1oops Daviey12:16
DaveMorrishehe12:16
superm1but i think there is a big enough part of it still that makes it necessary to run mythtv-setup12:16
Davieyie Tuning12:16
superm1yes12:16
superm1and adding channel data12:17
superm1etc12:17
Davieyneed to also get tv-guide wrapped up12:17
DaveMorrisso we need to ask them what country they are in12:17
DaveMorrisI assume we're only able to do US and UK for the 1st releases12:17
superm1well that can be handled by the time zone information at the start of the install can it not?12:17
superm1what we *can* do however, is modify the mythtv source packages for better defaults of some of the options12:17
superm1thats how i enabled ALSA to be the default for audio rather than OSS from now forward12:18
Davieyso we can't do much with Ubiquity until we hear back from Jetstream12:19
superm1well we can get our entire storyboard assembled12:20
superm1for the install process12:20
superm1something like a flow chart12:20
superm1or a state machine if you will12:20
DavieyDFA ftw :)12:20
superm1so any good apps for assembling a story board like this?12:23
DavieyLaunchpad can do flow charts?12:23
superm1can it?12:23
Davieynot sure if it is for planning or something else12:23
Davieybut i know i have seen flow charts on it12:23
gardengnomesuperm1: maybe you like freemind12:23
gardengnomeit's a mindmapping application12:23
gardengnomedunno if it suits your needs, though12:23
DaveMorrissuperm1: MS Visio ;)12:24
superm1lets see if freemind is in apt12:24
superm1apt-cache search freemind12:24

Davieyi think we should certainly keep the file in bzr tho12:25
superm1looks like kdissert might be able to do it pretty easily12:25
