defendguin_mario  zap2 it still isn't responding for me :(01:45
superm1really?01:45
defendguin_really01:46
superm1i wonder whats really going on here then01:46
superm1when i get home, i'll checkout and see if mine has grabbed data the last day or so01:46
defendguin_i'd appreciate it01:46
superm1did you poke around in -users last night?01:46
defendguin_-users?01:47
superm1mythtv-users01:47
superm1the irc channel01:47
defendguin_yeah i did01:47
superm1to see if anyone else was encountering issues with zap2it01:47
superm1and?01:47
defendguin_no one else seems to be01:47
superm1you've blown away all zap2it settins?01:48
superm1and reloaded and such01:48
defendguin_yup01:48
defendguin_it's just that one place in the video sources setup right?01:48
superm1well the place where you put in the usrename password01:48
superm1you've blown away that page01:49
superm1and reloaded it01:49
defendguin_yup01:49
superm1have you considered possibly backing up your database and reloading it?01:50
defendguin_i'd blow away the entire box if i thought it would help01:51
superm1well i dont think that drastic of a change is needed here01:51
superm1but you can at least narrow down the problem to db corruption01:51
superm1if freshly doing the db solves it01:51
defendguin_where do i start off with that?02:00
superm1well backup the db, remove mythtv-database and mysql-server-5.0.  reinstall both.  run mythtv-setup02:00
superm1and set things up02:00
superm1if they work, then something is messed up with your old db02:00
superm1and you can either drop it and ignore02:00
superm1or sort it out and find the problem02:00
defendguin_no need to really back up the db i don't have any recordings i care about02:02
superm1well thats up to you02:02
superm1i mean if you dont have anything of value02:02
superm1then dont worry about it02:02
superm1sudo apt-get remove --purge mythtv-database mysql-server-5.002:03
superm1and then02:03
superm1sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 mythtv-database02:03

superm1why?02:06
defendguin_Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mythtv/mythtv-database_0.20-svn20070122-0.0ubuntu6_all.deb  Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'02:06
superm1sounds like this machine isnt online02:06
defendguin_i'm sshed into it02:06
superm1is it set up for static or dhcp?02:07
defendguin_static02:07
superm1did you add a default route?02:07
superm1er gateway02:07
defendguin_ummm i added a default gateway02:07
superm1and dns information?02:07
defendguin_hmmmm02:07
defendguin_probably not02:07
superm1/etc/resolv.conf02:08
superm1nameserver IPADDRESS02:08
superm1where IPADDRESS is your DNS server02:08
defendguin_search houston.rr.com02:08
defendguin_nameserver 24.93.41.12502:08
defendguin_nameserver 24.93.41.12602:08
superm1can you ping those servers02:09
defendguin_thats my old isp service02:09
defendguin_houstonrr.com02:09
superm1then those needs to be updated02:09
superm1that is your issue02:09
defendguin_:-)02:09
superm1should have put two and two together when you said that you were putting in a new guide data source02:09
superm1that you probably had a new ISP too02:09
defendguin_lol02:09
superm1Okay i'm going to get home and make some dinner02:10
superm1good luck getting this back :)02:11
defendguin_thanks man02:11
defendguin_superm1: looks like it pulled all the right data but its telling me mythtv is already using all available inputs when i try to watch tv03:07
defendguin_rebooting didn't seem to fix it03:07
superm1then you didnt set up your tuner right perhaps03:08
superm1did you make sure to choose the correct type03:09
defendguin_i'm thinking its possible the db password got changed when i re-installed03:09
superm1eg if its a pvr-xxx MPEG2-Encoder03:09
superm1if you could open the frontend and the backend is running, db info is fine03:09
defendguin_right i set that part up properly i believe03:09
defendguin_ok03:09
superm1check the backend log then03:09
defendguin_where is that kept?03:10
superm1/var/log/mythtv03:11
defendguin_i think i figured it out03:14
superm1what was it?03:14
defendguin_i'm dumb03:14
defendguin_something in the setup i rushed over i think03:15
superm1ah] 03:15
defendguin_beautiful03:15
superm1what did you miss?03:16
defendguin_the option below video source setup in myth-setup03:17
superm1ah+03:18
defendguin_via xvmc or standard xvmc03:47
defendguin_i picked standard03:59
superm1well depends on your video card04:01
superm1and if you can do xvmc in the first place04:01
defendguin_nvidia04:32
defendguin_its a pretty good card04:32
defendguin_superm1: i think i'm all set thanks for the assistance04:36
superm1Yup defendguin_05:03
superm1glad you got things going better here05:03

superm1morning guys04:04
superm1i'm in central time04:04
gardengnomemorning superm104:05
DaveMorriswhats the time now then?04:12
DaveMorrisI checked out knoppmyth, and they don't auto do the mythtv setup04:12
superm1It'd be 9:12 right now04:12
superm1Ok, so no detection of *anything* then?04:12
superm1just asking what remotes you have04:13
superm1or video cards and such04:13
superm1and expecting you to make the right choices?04:13
DaveMorrisit auto does the install, so I'm guessing it also grabs the correct frimware04:13
superm1It didn't ask anything about tv out though?04:14
DaveMorrisnot sure if it does the remotes, normal install of X does the video card04:14
DaveMorrisI didn't install it to see if it auto did the mythtv-setup, managed to gleam the info from there manual and screen casts04:15
DaveMorrisI'd assume it dosen't do TV-OUT because thats X04:15
superm1well interesting04:16
superm1i wonder if they have a post configuration panel for this sort of stuff?04:16
superm1or anything like that04:16
superm1and where did I hear that a lot of this stuff was automated...?04:16
DaveMorristhey do have an auto install option04:17
DaveMorrisbut it dosen't touch mythtv-setup04:17
DaveMorrisDo many people run myth with TV-OUT?04:17
superm1well all the people i've helped set up locally in my towns have04:18
DaveMorrisI have as well04:18
=== DaveMorris too cheap to buy a new LCD TV
superm1:)04:18
superm1could you see what the auto install does then?04:19
DaveMorrisyep04:19
superm1if we do introduce something that handles anything automatically more so than what they do04:19
superm1we will be quite set04:19
DaveMorristhere are so many combo's in mythtv-setup :)04:19
superm1well even to prefill in some data04:20
DaveMorrisWe should prob sort out some howto's/screen cast for the different regions04:20
superm1need to find a good screencasting app then eventually too04:20
DaveMorriscoz the info needed is different in different countries04:20
superm1thats right04:20
DaveMorrispopey in #ubuntu-uk does alot of screen casts04:20
DaveMorrisI'll check what he uses04:21
DaveMorrishttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts04:27
superm1any recmndations though on an optimal choice?04:40

tgm4883_what part?08:12
wilI guess I have built the wrong module, usbmce instead of usbmce208:12
wilBut it doesn't create a new module like it did for usbmce08:12
wilIf I redo everything for mce2, it will moan about the module not existing08:12
wilhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty08:13
wilAnd the module isn't in /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/misc/08:13
tgm4883_you tried running it again and selecting usbmce2 and it didn't create the module?08:14

superm1Hey Xenocide long time no see.08:25
Xenocideyea08:25
Xenocidehey i get my hdtv today08:25
superm1oh nice.08:25
Xenocidefor me to upconvert standard cable08:25
Xenocidedo i need to do anything08:25
superm1well vga or component or dvi?08:25
Xenocidedvi08:25
superm1the nvidia drivers should sort it out for you08:25
Xenocideautomatically eh08:25
superm1typically08:25
Xenocidesweet08:25
superm1but you may need to fus with modelines for overscan and such08:26
Xenocidereally, even with dvi?08:26
Xenocidehopewfully i won't have to mess with xVmc08:26
superm1yes, depending on your tv08:26
Xenocidei had it set up, but i don't like the grayish looking OSD08:26
superm1depends on how powerfilled your comp cpu is08:27
superm1whether u will or wont08:27
Xenocidepentium 53008:27
Xenocideits plenty powerful, might be nice to get some load off cpu though08:27
Xenocidewill cpu encoding look better or no difference08:27
superm1for SD stuff its not going to matter really08:28
superm1its when you get a hd tuner and start going that route08:28
superm1that you will need to worry mostly08:28
Xenocidei doubt ill will be getting an hdtuner since i am getting hd cable with a dvr at home08:29
Xenocidepossibly for school when i move back in august08:29
superm1well you can maybe capture from firewire on that08:29
superm1at home08:29
superm1and get all your hd stuff that way08:29
Xenocidecan i still watch tv wile doing that08:30
Xenocidei am getting a dual tuner box08:30
=== wil [n=wil@cp753764-a.tilbu1.nb.home.nl] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv

superm1it will have to be an experimentation process08:31

wilHi, me again. But now I'm stuck at configurting the backend09:07
wilI am following the community doc howto to install mythtv on feisty09:07
wilAnd I have just installed the mythtv package09:07
wilbut I guess that the database isn't correctly created since the only table in there is schemalock09:08
Xenocidei wouldn't look into the database unless there was a problem09:08
Xenocidewhats your next step?09:08
wilwell, I should do the general stuff etc. and defining the tv cards, but it doesn't save anythin g09:09
Xenocidewhat do you mean by save?09:09
superm1well the database permissions are created when the package is installed09:09
wiland the terminal says this when I just load the config app09:09
superm1the database itself is made when launching mythtv-setup09:09
Xenocideif it errors when you run mytht-tv setup and it is blue then you have a database problem09:10
Xenocideyou will see scrolling lines of errors09:10
wilmythtv-setup isn't blue09:11
wilbut it does generate a lot of errors09:12
superm1What sorts of errors?09:12
willike this one: Argument missing: ERROR: Unable to acquire database upgrade lock09:12
wilor: Table 'mythconverg.keybindings' doesn't exist09:12
wilAnd that for a lot of tables09:12
superm1Yick.09:12
superm1So it looks like somehow or another there was corruption in the process of making it09:12
superm1do you have any other valuable data?09:13
superm1in mysql09:13
wilin the database, no09:13
wila clean machine this is :)09:13
superm1okay.  here is easiest solution then09:13
superm1sudo apt-get remove --purge mythtv mythtv-database mysql-server mysql-server-5.009:13
superm1and drop the database when it asks09:13
superm1followed by sudo apt-get install mythtv09:13
wildoen and now retry mythtv-setup I guess09:16
superm1hopefully thats all it was ;)09:17
wilthis looks an awfull lot better :) thanks09:17
a5benwillissuperm1: Hiya09:24
superm1hey a5benwillis09:24
a5benwillisanyone know if mythbuntu will eventually work with trunk?09:24
a5benwillissuperm1: you were right, it didnt work :)09:24
superm1You mean the livedisk working with trunk?09:24
a5benwillisyes09:25
superm1Well a custom build can be done for trunk easily once gardengnome finishes up the trunk packaging09:25
gardengnomeheh09:25
gardengnomeneed to get some spare time again. at the moment, i'm busy writing some articles for some school magazine09:26
superm1it will just be a matter of dropping in the repository that is using trunk packaging into the ISO build script and kicking it off for an hr to09:26
superm1build09:28

a5benwillissuperm1Ah09:32
a5benwillisI wish I knew it didnt work before I changed to trunk lol09:33
superm1well you backed your DB up right?  You can always go back09:33
superm1and restore it09:33
a5benwillisI did09:37
a5benwillisI like trunk though, fixed some of my issues09:37
superm1oh09:38
superm1well then keep poking gardengnome to get his trunk packages done :)09:38
a5benwillisIm a patient guy09:39
a5benwillisjust happy to have myth stable finally09:39
superm1thats great to hear that your dvb-s is working well now09:42
superm1did you sort out guide data?09:43
gardengnomesuperm1: i would have gotten them done by now if i managed to find that mythweather patch earlier :)09:44
superm1haha09:44
gardengnomesuperm1: shouldn't i package mythweather-revamp instead?09:44
superm1its a pretty straightforward patch when you take my dpatch directly huh? :)09:44
superm1well thats your call-09:45
gardengnomei dunno, i don't have it yet. i just know where i'm supposed to be looking now. :)09:45
gardengnomeallright09:45
superm1personally i think its better to wait till that branch merges to trunk09:45
superm1but i also have no idea how stable it is09:46
gardengnometrue09:46
gardengnomei doubt we'll get 0.21 till fall09:47
superm1well i hope its not like 2 weeks before gutsy release09:47
superm1like edgy09:47
superm1made for a packaging mayhem09:48
gardengnomeheh09:48
a5benwillissuperm1: Sorry, sidetracked09:48
a5benwillisyes, guide all working well with the new patch09:48
superm1very nice09:49
Xenocidepatch?09:51
superm1Xenocide, there is a dpatch that i assembled for mythweather based on a patch on trac.09:53
superm1to make it work again09:53
superm1its going into gutsy packages09:53
Xenocideah k09:53
Xenocidehow the gutsy packages looking09:53
superm1and should hopefully be backported to feisty09:53
Xenocide.21 not gonna make it?09:53
superm1all depends on when 0.21 is released09:53
