[07:25] yes yes they are [07:26] it was even worse, my cell phone antenna broke, so i couldnt even get onto gmail via that ! [07:27] oh my god [07:27] i'm sorry to hear that :( [07:28] superm1, checked i some of DaveMorris' changes to the script [07:28] so i'm glad to be on for the moment [07:28] what did he change? [07:28] I also changed the date format to be YYMMDD [07:28] are they on bzr now? [07:28] superm1, changelog on lp - but mainly adding AMD64 support [07:28] superm1, yes [07:28] oh i hope that i uploaded the latest one directly from pegasus before he went changing stuff [07:29] i dont want to have to merge ;) [07:29] ooh proxy option [07:29] I want to change the script to remove references to supermario and make it save to a central place. Probably /storage [07:29] i like that [07:29] superm1: would you be interested in an adaption your mythtv debianisation to svn trunk? [07:29] gardengnome, you mean the weekly build script? [07:29] for 0.20-fixes? [07:30] superm1: no, i was mainly talking about the stuff thaT's in the .diff.gz [07:30] think debian/rules [07:31] usually that stuff doesnt go into upstream [07:31] its supposed to sit at debian/ubuntu/mythbuntu level [07:31] sure, i never meant to submit it to upstream. [07:31] gardengnome, what is in there? [07:32] well upstream would be svn trunk, unless we're referring to different things [07:32] Daviey: debian/rules, debian/control; anything that's needed to turn a source package into a debian package. [07:32] superm1: heh, sorry. i was going to package svn trunk. and i was wondering if you were interested in the necessary changes. [07:32] gardengnome, i've been very very very warry of packaging svn trunk [07:33] what i am saying is - why would we convert to svn method when it works currently? ;) [07:33] because once someone has svn available to them really easily, things can break for a lot of people [07:33] superm1: it'd be their choice ;) [07:33] there is a thread on mythtv-users about this that i commented on a little bit with this [07:33] looking to see if there was interest [07:34] and 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 easily [07:34] well, 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. [07:35] gardengnome, well your better off using our automated build script [07:35] for 0.20 fixes svn [07:35] because it can be switched to trunk very very easily [07:35] (matter of switching a single env variable) [07:35] i don't want release-0.20-fixes, i want trunk [07:35] ah [07:35] atm it will create a source package that is ready to be kicked off to a buildd or pbuilder or debuild [07:36] superm1: right. however, certain things like build-time dependencies will still need to be modified. [07:36] Modified? [07:36] for svn? [07:36] trunk [07:36] yes. [07:36] that's my point :) [07:36] oh i was not aware of this [07:36] for example, mythmusic can use libvisual and taglib now [07:36] ah [07:36] there even might be some new libs [07:37] hm [07:37] that's my point. ;) [07:38] see i'm pretty torn here, i do like the idea of putting svn trunk builds together [07:38] snapshots? [07:38] yea [07:38] I dunno - people want bleedin' edge - then complain when it borks [07:38] it 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] which is like once a year :/ [07:38] thats very true [07:39] gardengnome, 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 packages [07:39] etc [07:39] Weekly builds - semi stable & semi broken :) [07:40] superm1: that's not a problem, i've already got a set of working packages. i just need to adapt that to your ubuntu packages [07:40] gardengnome, was it literally a case of running pbuilder? [07:41] gardengnome, 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 such [07:41] Daviey: i don't use pbuilder atm, but dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot worked well after adding some depndencies :) [07:41] superm1: i think my understanding of debian packages is sufficient to do it myself [07:41] i used to roll my own svn packages back in the day... ;) [07:41] k gardengnome, well if you have any problems or questions feel free to ping me and i'll give you a hand [07:42] scorpi has done most of the work already: http://home.arcor.de/scorpidnb/mythtv/READ_ME [07:42] i would really recommend taking our bzr branch [07:42] superm1: fine, sounds great [07:42] i'll set up pbuilder again. [07:42] and starting from that debian/* directory [07:42] because it grabs svn and makes tgz for you at least to base from [07:42] on my old box, i used to have pbuilder with some wrapper scripts. i should get those again [07:42] gardengnome, can you check in your debian/ folder into bzr? [07:43] gardengnome, here is the address to do the bzr co from: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythbuntu/devel [07:43] gardengnome, are you in 'da team'? [07:43] Daviey: i don't have bzr :( it's not ready. scorpi just kept updating marillat's 0.19 packages to work with trunk [07:43] Daviey: nope.

[07:49] because thats how kubuntu follows the naming for feisty+ [07:49] ahh [07:49] superm1: yay. :) [07:49] i got the original one i uploaded nuked [07:49] yes i saw that email this morning [07:49] from revu [07:49] vg [07:50] Daviey, i wonder if i can submit this to revu leaving mepo in the source package, but just not installing it in the binary [07:50] so the source doesnt have to be regenerated in the future [07:50] better ask MOTU [07:51] I would think they would say no - but technically can't see a problem [07:51] i think they'd say no too.. [07:51] i'll just pull it [07:52] this package is huge btw, 90 megs for the source package [07:52] It's been almost a week since i mailed him.... I could try the forums... [07:53] garry parker?

[08:27] well just need to be sure to stay consistent [08:27] do you know an easy way to grab that version number? [08:27] we can switch to that [08:27] i'm on edgy still, i wonder if i need to get the pbuilder deb from feisty.

[08:29] i think i need some fsck magic. [08:30] fsck is black magic [08:30] heh [08:30] it fscked one of my partitions [08:31] i guess i'll modify work/debian-mythtv now and get acquainted with the build script later [08:32] yea it covers most of the complexities of the package [08:33] i wonder what kind of versioning schema should be used. "0.20-trunk-rXXXX" is not exactly a great idea [08:33] is there a certain amout of free space that is required on the recording partition?

[08:50] a5benwillis, 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) [08:51] and the irq/interrupt are set appropriately to what you set in lirc-modules-source? [08:52] I havent checked the bios [08:52] good idea [08:53] I need to grab my logic probe from home, that should tell me if Im getting signal from the ir rx [08:56] from *home*?

[09:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=163496 [09:02] ah a source guide [09:03] well you should be able to revert anything done there, and take out that /etc/init.d/homebrew [09:03] and /etc/rcS.d/S99homebrew [09:03] you've done that i imagine right? [09:03] not yet, couldnt get past testing mode2 [09:03] well that is going to mess you up for sure [09:03] ln /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc? [09:03] that will most definitely break things [09:04] I diddo that but it doesnt stick [09:04] well when modprobing lirc_serial, that /dev/lirc0 should be made on its own [09:04] Im 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] if its not being made, then there is another trouble [09:05] ah [09:05] a5benwillis, took me a week to get working untill i followed the wiki guide ;) [09:05] yes, lirc0gets made, no lirc though [09:05] Daviey: I feel better now :D [09:05] almost gave up... didn't work when i went to bed... Switched on in the morning and it worked :) [09:06] I look after the bookmark very carefully now. [09:07] Im 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] I use Sat so I have to start a few "things" as well [09:07] a5benwillis, init scripts are easy. There is a bare one / or just rip of another inside init.d [09:08] then make a symlink inside the runlevel of your choice [09:08] I have a few example scripts for starting a few daemons. I get a few errors from one. [09:08] I can start everything manually of course andit works fine. [09:09] yeah, I had the symlinksin there but took them out til I got the script right. [09:09] Daviey: What IR receiver do you use? [09:10] a5benwillis, homebrew - used to use one on Nova-T - but then had to have separate when i split back/frontend [09:10] I might have to buy one if I cant verify that this one I made works. [09:11] tbh. i purchased mine - it was only UK8 [09:12] For parts - all local suppliers wanted a quantity of >5. Would have cost me more [09:15] some of the patches will have to be updated, eg the debian patch [09:15] the recording group stuff seems to break it [09:16] gardengnome, how does the recording group stuff work now? [09:16] is there like a primary directory steting? [09:17] superm1: i think there's a primary directory, yes. i haven't really looke dinto it because my mythtv box is broken :'( [09:17] i'll try to come up with a patch [09:17] Will any of you guys us the different recording directories? [09:17] yes [09:17] i don't like LVM. === Daviey adores LVM [09:18] i will switch to different recording directories i think [09:18] i'm wary of LVM, i lost all my data once when i drive died [09:18] i've got an empty 400G partition dedicated to mythtv at the moment, another couple of gigabytes are waiting in an unused logical volume [09:18] that's a good point - my backup's are on the same LVM - maybe i should stop that [09:19] that should keep me going for a while === MegaQuark_ [n=gary@pool-71-111-176-187.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [09:34] Daviey, http://revu.tauware.de./details.py?upid=5108 [09:35] good [09:36] :s - http://revu.tauware.de/revu1-incoming/mythtv-themes-unofficial-0705111500/lintian [09:36] revu servers are never updated for that stuff ;) [09:36] bad-distribution-in-changes-file gutsy - hasn't revu updated to gutsy?

[09:47] well there are lots of ways to handle it, probably moving it to the old location is easiest [09:48] sure, but i'd have to write a "clean" rule to move it back to the new place on dpkg-buildpackage clean, right? [09:48] right [09:50] some 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] guess i'll have to task again in #mythtv [09:51] there's --compile-type=profile which will allow for optimizations while retaining debug symbols [09:51] when i looked at the source, i didnt see anything that would be taken out by --compile-type=debug [09:52] your sure that leaves optimizations and debug symbols, the compile type=profile [09:52] and these arent CPU specific optimizations or anything like that? [09:53] i'll talk to someone more knowledgeable later. i think that -O2 is not possible with --compile-type=debug [09:53] not sure, though [09:53] K [09:53] well if anything, i'm always more preferable to -Os [09:53] rather than -O2 [09:54] sure, but if we use our own optimizations flags, we get to keep both pieces if it breaks [09:54] superm1: Banging my head against the wall lol [09:54] a5benwillis, :) [09:54] superm1: Reinstalled, followed the wiki.

[09:55] superm1: yep. i'll wrap my head around the packages first, though [09:55] i say you need to checkout that device and make sure its working [09:55] with your logic analyzer [09:57] I get this from dmesg: [09:57] [17180180.760000] lirc_serial: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found: kernel tainted.

[09:59] well i've never tried a remote other than the mceusb2 or mceusb i have [09:59] but the harmony can learn the commands for mceusb2 if you needed it to [09:59] i've been really happy with the mceusb2 myself [09:59] k, I guessI'll test this adapter and if anythings in questionII'll just order one online.

[10:00] yes [10:00] if you do it in a pbuilder though, you need an extra package thats not in the pbuilder by defualt [10:00] i have it in my local pbuilders [10:00] and the buildds have it as well [10:00] ok, just wondering [10:01] thats why the -dbg package of mythtv was dropped because of the symbol stripping functionality apport gives [10:04] superm1: 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] thanks for all ofthe help! [10:05] good luck a5benwillis [10:05] let us know how it turns out [10:05] will do! === gardengnome scratches his chin and gets out "linux in a nutshell" [10:05] gardengnome, what you confused on? [10:06] superm1: just need to brush up my bash skills a bit ;) === bendailey [n=bendaile@mail.bhmsd.k12.in.us] has left #ubuntu-mythtv [] [10:29] could someone please tell me why this clean target: http://www.pastebin.ca/483620 results in this error message: http://www.pastebin.ca/483623 [10:30] i have the feeling it's something embarrassing [10:39] dont you need a ; then [10:39] after the if [ ! -f Makefile ] [10:40] er wait... [10:40] thats not what you added [10:40] yeah, sorry [10:40] you added the if [ -a configfiles ] ; then [10:40] right? [10:40] yep [10:40] dont use the semicolon at the end of the line i dont think if your only doing one command [10:40] for the move [10:41] also debian/rules isn't done in bash necessarily [10:41] i'm not sure you can even use that if [10:42] i saw during the clean target you just move unconditionally [10:42] at bery worst if the file is already clean, then nothing happens [10:42] ah. [10:42] s/bery/very/ [10:42] that might explains things. :) [10:42] i was afraid an exit code !0 would break stuff [10:43] thanks. [10:43] HI 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%? [10:44] superm1: that's not true :( http://www.pastebin.ca/483644 [10:44] ha. wow [10:44] wouldnt have expected that [10:45] hugolp, you have to change the setting in Settings/General [10:45] thanks superm1 [10:45] superm1: i'll try something else then :) [10:45] gl gardengnome [10:46] how about you do a mkdir -p contribfiles [10:46] and then move the contents of contribfiles rather than the directory itself === DaveMorri1 [n=dave@host-212-158-244-26.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [10:48] hey all [10:48] we got some time to make a list of what needs doing? [10:49] sure DaveMorri1, in like 10 or 20 min i'll be right back and we can update the list [10:49] Daviey: Ping [10:49] Pong [10:49] you free in 10-20 mins? [10:49] for ^^ [10:49] should be [10:50] superm1: sounds sensible, thanks. [10:50] in 10-20 min i'll be free [11:20] is superm1 going to come back? === DaveMorris [n=dave@89.243.43.236] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [11:22] I'm rready [11:22] gardengnome, he's getting cable internet installed..... so your guess is as good as how reliable the cable guys are :) [11:22] Daviey: ah :) [11:23] because i'd rather rewrite the packaging stuff instead of moving configfiles. the latter is just too annoying ;) [11:23] the clean target tends to break when mv/cp can't find a file [11:23] gardengnome, to be honest - long term sounds better to rewrite to incorporate new changes [11:24] yeah [11:24] i'd just need to move a few lines around i think [11:29] poke me when we're ready [11:35] k === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [11:38] okay guys i think i'm back [11:38] my cable modem seems to not like me very much though [11:38] always the way [11:39] Daviey: poke [11:39] i had better luck on my neighbors internet :) [11:39] here.. thanks [11:40] so we should update the team goals page [11:40] on w.u.c [11:40] wiki? [11:40] superm1: 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] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MythTVTeam [11:41] i didn't even know that page existed! [11:41] gardengnome, how much of a rewrite are you talking? [11:41] hasnt been updated in a while though :) [11:42] let me parse through the stuff that was proposed and finished, and then we can go through the goals that are left and add to them [11:42] Okay.... are you looking to set goals for mythbuntu or mythtv specifically? [11:43] I'd like to see goals we can work towards to have mythbuntu released with gutsy [11:43] superm1: 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 sane [11:44] i think goals for mythbuntu are more appropriate, since they also affect mythtv source package [11:45] k gardengnome [11:45] perhaps launchpad is a better place for this [11:45] under the mythbuntu heading [11:45] like are we gonna focus on mythbuntu for the frontend 1st, both or backend [11:45] well atm it works for frontend off a disk [11:46] i tried it with my roomates box [11:46] and he was even able to watch hidef off the disk [11:46] i'd like to focus on all three at the same time [11:47] ok, also are we gonna build support in for mini-itx boards, specifically the openchrome drivers which need to be built [11:47] well that should be something that will need to be added [11:47] Do they exist in deb format? [11:47] not 6 months ago [11:47] google-foo skills brb [11:47] i think the best approach to this whole thing is to prioritize the things that need to go into the installer [11:47] not sure if thats a licencing issue or not [11:48] so questions that need to be addressed, BE, FE, BE/FE? [11:48] lirc? [11:48] detect openchrome unichrome [11:48] and detect if firmware is needed for anything on the machine [11:48] seems not - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome (last edited recently) - still need SVN... DaveMorris do you have a mini-itx box? [11:48] we'll need scripts to download the firmware [11:48] setup binary drivers [11:48] setup tv out [11:48] Daviey: Yes [11:48] with PAL TV-OUT [11:49] DaveMorris, can you look into debianiazing it? [11:49] sure [11:49] aye, so no build env on disk will be the goal [11:49] have binaries of everything [11:49] superm1, lirc - i thought we were putting it on hold in favour of the Media Centre guys? [11:49] exactly [11:49] we're not allowed to ship the firmware for cards are we, so we need scripts to grab those for the backends [11:50] after they finish it off, we can still configure it [11:50] yes [11:50] who'sg [11:50] unless we can get the +1 from companies whom have the firmware [11:50] who's gonna add these to launchpad? [11:50] DaveMorris, are you sure licencing doesn't allow shipment.... An email might be worth it. ITX seem quite linux friendly [11:50] i can after i finish up cleaning this mythtv team page unless one of you really wants to [11:51] I'm not sure but I'll find out why they aren't in ubuntu [11:52] Next we need to look at other ways of making mythbuntu rock [11:52] is the frontend just gonna have mythtv in, or the plugins as well [11:53] I mean, what are other Mythtv distro's doing that we aren't? [11:53] an option to install a readonly frontend to flash card would be cool [11:53] soundn't be too hard [11:53] flashcard / usb pendrive [11:53] all plugins are installed by default atm . thats another question that will need to be asked in the installer [11:54] I would like to see an Advanced option and a Basic -> basic installs everything and doesn't ask, advanced asks all these questions [11:54] need to draw a tree really with all possible options we need to add to ubiquity [11:54] Well some of these questions are relevant only if particular hardware will be present though [11:55] Had one at one point, but it got scrapped because it was getting too large and complex [11:55] How many people use non-standard hardware? [11:55] might also wanna look at getting the various sound cards to work [11:55] 5.1, digital, stero [11:56] been some recent bug reports about sound. [11:56] i'll see if i can get jetsaridem to pop in [11:56] and majoridiot too [11:56] and add some input [11:56] Haven't seen much of majoridiot recently [11:56] also we should try and guess the mpeg decoder needed by the frontend, and is there a way to auto dected a backend? [11:57] broadcast ping? [11:57] on mythbackend port? [11:57] backend autodetection is coming in the next release of mythtv [11:57] from what i heard [11:57] we'll ignore that then :) [11:57] there is a branch that handles auto configuration of a lot of things [11:58] including tuners from what i understood [11:58] this year or next? [11:58] so thinking about the possibility of a "Standard" or "Advanced" install [11:58] well next release, whenever it is [11:58] normally end of summer isn't it? October time? [11:58] no "normal" time [11:59] also we might wanna change the default file system on the backend so its not ext3 [11:59] myth releases arent really predictable until they get closer [11:59] DaveMorris, either that or enable slow deletes by default [11:59] but why use ext3? [11:59] ext3 is the ubuntu default I think [11:59] good point [12:00] advanced options would be to easily setup muliple backends [12:00] so for a std install, perhaps install a FE/BE with all plugins [12:00] Who was looking at hacking ubiquity? [12:00] and then do hardware questions as needed [12:01] themes-unoffical? [12:01] yes and that by default for std [12:01] do we know any artists? [12:01] jetsradiem was for a while, and i started to, but then finals came around [12:01] and i had to step back from putting too much time into everything [12:01] I went through it briefly - it's a real mess! [12:01] finals are great, I'm just signing onto a Masters :/ [12:02] just spoke with jetsradiem, he cant stop in, but i'll cc him a transcript of our talk here [12:02] DaveMorris, are you being sponsored? [12:02] he is emailing one of the installer guys about some more info that he needed that he will then CC me [12:02] yeah, best bit of working in a uni [12:03] DaveMorris, rogue780|mythser seems quite handy with gimp [12:03] okay 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 detecting [12:03] anything else we need for a standard install? [12:04] auto start myth on boot up, and auto log into ubuntu [12:04] superm1, should we do autodetection with v1? [12:04] all done already :) [12:04] we doing the std install on gnome? [12:04] nope [12:04] the ubuntu-mythtv-frontend package that i wrote earlier does that [12:04] and it also parses for nvidia settings or lirc irxec info if they install it [12:05] didn't know that either [12:05] I'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 then [12:05] DaveMorris, our env is highly customized with openbox [12:05] for the wm [12:05] DaveMorris, have you tried the ISO in a virtual machine? [12:05] nope, I booted it up on real hardware [12:06] okay - have you tried installing :) [12:06] took a couple of attempts once it was loaded to launch the myth frontend [12:06] nope, I need to sort my hardware out 1st [12:06] odd - do you know why? [12:06] my incompentence, expecting it to be like gnome :) [12:07] DaveMorris, we did initially think about having a full gnome install - as a 'passive' advertising [12:07] but thats it. People are going to expect the desktop to be like gnome if they have to interact with it [12:07] but don't think we can fit it on the ISO - so we dropped that [12:07] there is no way that a full ubuntu-desktop install will fit on the ISO with all of our stuff [12:07] our stuff + X is at 350 right now [12:07] remove openoffice.org [12:07] its going to be another 50-100 after the unofficial themes are added [12:08] prehaps do a dvd with gnome [12:08] :) [12:08] also openbox should start faster than gnome - which is a plus for everday useage [12:08] well DaveMorris what in gnome did you miss? === DaveMorris never turns his frontend off [12:08] i mean we can always add functionality to our env [12:09] DaveMorris, i do when the electric bill comes in - then get back to my old habits [12:09] superm1: nothing I can think of. [12:09] Daviey: mini-itx are cheap, about 25w at full load :) [12:10] think it could be a bad idea to maintain a dvd iso [12:10] i think for now its better to leave gnome out, and get the rest done [12:10] atm yes [12:10] if we have room on the disk, consider it [12:10] agreed [12:10] sorry 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] but i think the disk is going to keep filling up more and more (adding mythweb adds apache, etc) [12:11] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=mythtv-backend&version=feisty&arch=i386 [12:12] Okay... what are our immediate goals? === Daviey thinks ubiquity [12:12] superm1: thanks [12:12] well i think ubiquity is the big one for all of this [12:12] i think the standard install is a good immediate goal [12:12] and then add the advanced afterwords [12:13] after talking to jetsradiem though, it appears they might just be one in the same [12:13] So we just need to hook in the extra packages? [12:13] so if we break the std install goal down into smaller ones which people can pick up and look into [12:13] reasoning being is that ubiquity is really a debconf frontend [12:13] so when we do a standard install, it is more like enabling options for every piece of the advanced [12:14] yes DaveMorris [12:14] being that it is indeed a debconf frontend, it is easier to remove packages at the end by marking them in apt to be wiped [12:14] and have everything preinstalled [12:14] also 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 all [12:15] indeed good idea [12:15] so the next big complication [12:15] mythtv-setup [12:15] i have all of the work necessary to launch it at the end of the install prior to reboot done [12:15] mythtv-setup does little more than add stuff to the db, right? [12:15] (and tuning ofc) [12:15] well it configures the db for the first time [12:16] some of the stuff done in it can be done by us [12:16] with mysql commands [12:16] that''s what i was about to say! [12:16] thats 3 times today DaveMorris [12:16] oops Daviey [12:16] hehe [12:16] but i think there is a big enough part of it still that makes it necessary to run mythtv-setup [12:16] ie Tuning [12:16] yes [12:17] and adding channel data [12:17] etc [12:17] need to also get tv-guide wrapped up [12:17] so we need to ask them what country they are in [12:17] I assume we're only able to do US and UK for the 1st releases [12:17] well that can be handled by the time zone information at the start of the install can it not? [12:17] what we *can* do however, is modify the mythtv source packages for better defaults of some of the options [12:18] thats how i enabled ALSA to be the default for audio rather than OSS from now forward [12:19] so we can't do much with Ubiquity until we hear back from Jetstream [12:20] well we can get our entire storyboard assembled [12:20] for the install process [12:20] something like a flow chart [12:20] or a state machine if you will [12:20] DFA ftw :) [12:23] so any good apps for assembling a story board like this? [12:23] Launchpad can do flow charts? [12:23] can it? [12:23] not sure if it is for planning or something else [12:23] but i know i have seen flow charts on it [12:23] superm1: maybe you like freemind [12:23] it's a mindmapping application [12:23] dunno if it suits your needs, though [12:24] superm1: MS Visio ;) [12:24] lets see if freemind is in apt [12:24] apt-cache search freemind [12:24] kdissert - mindmapping tool [12:24] heard of that one gardengnome ? [12:24] no [12:25] freemind is java app === MegaQuark__ [n=gary@pool-71-111-176-187.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [12:25] http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [12:25] There was a recent disccusion of them on a mailing list recently [12:25] wikipedia has a list of mind mapping apps [12:25] i think we should certainly keep the file in bzr tho [12:25] looks like kdissert might be able to do it pretty easily [12:26] daviey we should move our branch for mythbuntu [12:26] over to the mythbuntu section on LP [12:26] set up a mythbuntu team now? [12:26] dont even need a team for it i dont think, because a project can have a code section
