Davieyyep12:27
Daviey6 reboot, 0 off and 1 single user mode (borked mode :)12:27
DavieyThat relies on there already being a script called mythtv-backend in init.d12:28
superm1_well it will be there12:28
superm1_after mythtv-backend is installed12:28
Daviey:)12:28
superm1_so if this is added to a postinst script12:28
superm1_for mythbuntu-live12:28
superm1_eventually12:28
superm1_but in the interim is put in the build script12:29
superm1_and then during postrm script they can all be reactivated12:29
DavieyUninstall symlinks: update-rc.d -f mythtv-backend remove12:29
superm1_thats all it takes/12:29
Daviey:)12:30
Davieyeasy as pi12:30
DavieyI had a real headache working out how to do when i wanted my tvon/tvoff python script to fire12:30
superm1_could you add that to the build script then and commit it ?12:30
superm1_I'm not going to be home for a few hrs :)12:31
superm1_just at some step later than the mythv-backend install, but before the second chroot12:31
DavieyHopefully i won't bork it :)12:31
DavieyBy end of Step N: eveything is installed?12:33

superm1_yes12:33
Daviey#Step U: Remove our fake scripts12:34
DavieyThat could become - fix scripts12:34

DavieyDaveMorris: you can still just exec mythbuntu_install.sh with no params?01:14
DaveMorrisyes01:15

DavieyClean eh?01:23
DaveMorrismeh01:24
Davieymight clean that up next update01:24
Davieywow imbrandon's local mirror is fast01:24
DavieyI'm doing another build now.. wonder how it will turn out01:25
DavieyIt's a real nusiance that you can't just patch the iso :D01:25
DaveMorrisI'll be doing some run throught installs soon to help sort out this testing framework for others to follwo01:25
Davieythat would be great01:26
Davieyi really want to set up an RSS feed of ISO's so we can autograb them when built01:26
DaveMorrisI think we need to lower the barrier to entry for the others01:26
Davieywould make hometesting much easier01:26
DaveMorrissuprem1 was gonna mae the new versions apt-get upgrade once booted before installing01:27
Davieyyeah.. good for beta.01:27
Davieybut bad for bugtraqing tho01:27
Daviey'What version are you running'  "Depends what day you ran it :)01:27
DaveMorrisnot really, because the bugs will either be against the iso, in which case a new iso is released, or they are against the packages installed01:28
Davieytrue..01:28
Davieylooking at the build.. we've still got loada stuff that could be stripped out01:29

Davieyrogue780|mythsrv: not sure i can remember 0.19 :)02:03
Davieyrogue780|mythsrv: do you use the Internal player or xine/mplayer?02:03
Davieyrogue780|mythsrv: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes_-_0.20#MythDVD02:04
rogue780|mythsrvdon't use anything atm....hell I don't even have an optical drive in my frontend02:05
rogue780|mythsrvcurious is I should try to get it running, or if it'd be a waste of time02:05
DavieyIMO the Internal player has improved loads.  Previously i had to use xine.. prefer standard interface of Internal player02:05
Davieyrogue780|mythsrv: Do you have a need for DVD's?  If so then yes :)02:06
rogue780|mythsrvI have an antiquated dvd player that I'm using now....but I'm a fan of centralization....the fewer things I've got to have plugged in the better in my book02:06
DavieyOn the few occasions i have used mythdvd it has done it's job.  But i prefer ripping and using mythvideo02:07
Davieymythdvd doesn't save paused/exit location like mythvideo AFAIK02:07
rogue780|mythsrvargh...now I've got to learn how to make cookies/sessions (other topic....my $5M idea...)02:08
rogue780|mythsrvunfortunately ripping and such isn't very wife-friendly atm02:08
rogue780|mythsrvI'm glad PHP is proving easy to learn.02:09
rogue780|mythsrvDaviey, have you seen the new gtk theme that superm1 put together?02:15
Davieynot yet02:15

rogue780|mythsrvI'm working on a GDM theme currently. I'm going to try to mirror what he did with the look02:17
Davieysounds great02:17
Davieyhttp://www.mythbuntu.org/files/iso/  fair few iso's there now eh?02:17
rogue780|mythsrvindeed02:20
DavieyDaveMorris: ping02:28
OpenMediaSupportHas a decision been made on the default desktop manager for the frontend? Like the way the normal MythTV install on feisty defaults to OpenBox02:29
Davieywe're pretty confident on using openbox.  why do you ask?02:29
OpenMediaSupporthttp://www.mypvr.co.nz02:29
OpenMediaSupportWe are considering GPL ing all of our NZ specific stuff and additing it into Mythbuntu02:30
OpenMediaSupportPlus also supporting Mythdora02:30
Davieynice..02:30
DavieyWhat goodies do you have?02:30
OpenMediaSupportWe currently use fluxbox, but I like the look of OpenBox02:30
OpenMediaSupportWe can autoconfigure and update manage all of the NZ specific stuff - IR Blasters for SkyTV. Freeview + Sky + Terrestrial EPG feeds. MHEG-5 support for NZ freeview digital02:31
DavieyI initially wanted fluxbox or ratpoision, but was quickly convinced02:32
OpenMediaSupportPlus leverage all of our testing02:32
Davieygreat!02:32
DavieyHow are you autoconfiguring IR blasters?02:32
OpenMediaSupportYeah we are currently based on Knoppmyth + fluxbox but with an enhanced MythTV 0.20-fixes build02:32
OpenMediaSupportThere are a couple of SkyTV specific IR codes, and then dpkg-reconfigure lets you perform the selection.02:33
OpenMediaSupportPlus a wrapper script to control the firing of the blaster that appears to work on all NZ STBs02:33
DavieyIs that based on end user shell script or GTK chooser?02:33
OpenMediaSupportNormal dpkg configuration stuff - modifies lines in /etc/default/irblaster02:34
OpenMediaSupportShould work with gui or command line02:34
=== Daviey has never had a need for irblaster.. not sure any of the other devs have either. So i think we'd value your goodies
OpenMediaSupportWe have also been backporting bit of MythTV trunk - There are quite a few DVB related niggles in 0.20-fixes that my customers have shown up.02:35
DavieyOpenMediaSupport: so you've had a chance to try the alpha iso?02:35
OpenMediaSupportNot yet.. NZ Broadband is interestingly constrained :(02:35
OpenMediaSupportPlus dealing with some customer issues out of our trac queue.02:35
DavieyOK.  tbh we are gobsmacked how many people have downloaded the _ALPHA_ iso02:36
OpenMediaSupportI have a prototypr myPVR build based on Feisty, and only minor tweaks were required to port over our existing mypvr-* support packages02:36
Davieyand we haven't had that many bug reports02:36
Davieyso that's a positive thing02:36
OpenMediaSupportAlso I manage mythtv.co.nz. Just working on a news release on Mythbuntu in the background.02:36
DavieyOpenMediaSupport: that's great - but make sure you have a big fat warning that it is still alpha02:37
OpenMediaSupportWhats the best way (other than grabbing the ISO) to really get involved here.02:37
Daviey- we didn't even expect it do get onto digg :s02:37
OpenMediaSupport:)02:37
DavieyOpenMediaSupport: Hmm.. well all out source-code is on launchpad bazar branch02:38
OpenMediaSupportNot surprised. Got seriously slashdotted when we lauched myPVR 1.0. NZ sites aren't usually geared up for that level of hits02:38
OpenMediaSupportYeah i'm on Launchpad. Need to play with bazar.02:40
DavieyWell at one point our server was chucking out 80MB/s!  Site pratically died02:40
OpenMediaSupportNice..02:40
DavieyOpenMediaSupport: We'll have to have a chat with the other guys; not sure how we can implement country specific options at this stage02:40
OpenMediaSupportA lot of our testing will help all users, especially some of the additional backports from SVN trunk02:40
DavieyBut i think it's certainly something we would find useful to add.  Do you have a download / repo we can take a look at?02:40
OpenMediaSupportPlus the IRBlaster framework could easily be extended.02:40
DavieyI think the next big thing we want to add is lirc support out of box.  Currently trying to work out how best to that.02:44
DavieyOpenMediaSupport: Can i ask, how many mythboxes you sell in NZ?02:44
DavieyAm i right in saying your UTC+12 ?02:44
OpenMediaSupportYup At the moment. Where are youi?02:44
DavieyUK02:45
DavieyI'm UTC+1 - another is UTC-6 US02:45
DavieyCommunications can be fun :)02:45
OpenMediaSupportNo worries i'm originally from Liverpool02:45
OpenMediaSupportIts great as we can leverage all of the UK and European DVB work as the DVB network is only just starting here.02:46
Davieypudlion eh?02:46
DavieyI really like some of your cases02:46
DavieyI've never seen the 180 before; who makes that?02:47
OpenMediaSupportNMedia.02:47
OpenMediaSupportThe Asus M2NPV-VM boards rock. Feisty loves them :)02:47
Daviey:)02:48
OpenMediaSupportWe don't have DVB-T here yet - http://www.mypvr.co.nz/mypvr/myPVR%20FreeView.html, so we have to support DVB-S cards, Sky NZ STBs and analogue02:48
DavieyIf you can pop back in about 3-5 hours, 'superm1' would like to talk to you - i'm sure02:48
OpenMediaSupportI'll be here all day (off and on)02:49
DavieyAnyway, i must go to bed.  Nice speaking to you02:49
OpenMediaSupportCatch you round.02:50
rogue780|mythsrvOpenMediaSupport, that's pretty nice. I've been considering setting up a similar enterprise here in America02:55
rogue780|mythsrvOpenMediaSupport, what kind of remotes do you provide with myPVR?02:56
OpenMediaSupportWe use standard Hauppauge MCE compatible remotes at present as they have really nice hot keys that we auto map to the correct functions03:00

OpenMediaSupportWhat sort of nvidia card have you got, and what typ of TV-out do you want to use?05:33
josehmm05:33
joseThe card's an... 8800 GT, I think05:34
joseAnd - well, the tv-out is S-video, NTSC05:34
joseIt's already working, I think05:34
joseI can see a black screen, with my mouse cursor becoming a big X when it's over the TV desktop05:35
joseBut my problem lies in displaying much of anything on it05:35
joseI mainly want to display video on it, figuring I could run Totem/Mplayer with a "-displa 1" parameter05:35
joseBut - no dice.05:35
joseerr - "-display = 1"05:36
joseI mean05:36

joseYes05:41
joseThough I'm not running cinerama or anything05:42
joseJust two separate desktops05:42
joseWith the secondary desktop being nothing more than a blank screen05:42
joseSo all I need is to be able to run a command from display 0 that runs totem/mplayer on display 105:43
joseerr05:47
joseI should have probably stated "black screen" instead of "blank"05:47

superm1hi OpenMedia_Steve06:46
superm1so you guys are selling presold boxes I take it?06:46
OpenMedia_StevePre loaded - fully configured and supported.06:46
superm1ah06:47
joseOh!06:47
OpenMedia_SteveWe were based off Knoppmyth originally, but I have a development build using Feisty06:47
joseTHAT'S why your nick sounds so familiar!06:47
superm1and how is it working for you thus far?06:47
OpenMedia_SteveWe have a support layer to do a lot of the configuration smarts for NZ.06:47
OpenMedia_SteveMarket here just isn't ready or big enough really. Feedback is excellent and good referals. We also have had good reviews off the local press.06:48
superm1very good.  i've heard a lot of NZ stuff can be messy06:48
OpenMedia_SteveThere isn't an official or unofficial EPG source.06:48
superm1so how do you guys handle guide data then?06:48
OpenMedia_SteveWe take care of all of the channel setup, and can support Sky TV NZ STBs.06:48
OpenMedia_SteveGuide data can be grabbed off a number of web sources as well as EIT data off DVB-S06:49
superm1unfortunately only a few days off EIT I imagine though06:49
OpenMedia_Stevehttp://www.mypvr.co.nz06:49
OpenMedia_Steve7 Days of EIT, plus we have an MHEG-5 guide here in NZ with 8 days.06:49
OpenMedia_SteveWe worked on the MythTV and RedButton support for the NZ MHEG platform - see http://mythtv.co.nz for details06:50
superm1I can't say i'm familiar with MHEG506:50
superm1ill have to take a look here06:50
OpenMedia_SteveIts also used in the UK on DVB-T06:50
superm1So at this point your considering adapting ubuntu install of knoppmyth then?06:51
OpenMedia_SteveWe need to update from what is effectively a sarge based build to get all of the newer video drivers06:52
superm1(which ubuntu provides newer drivers)06:52
OpenMedia_SteveWe currently use a 2.6.15 kernel so we are stuck with an older ivtv driver and only some DVB drivers can be easily backported.06:53
OpenMedia_SteveOur normal hardware is either A8N-VM CSM or M2MPV-VM from Asus and they rock when running Feisty.06:53
superm1I can see for a commercial venture would require a very stable kernel release06:53
joseHmm... sorry to keep on bothering06:55
OpenMedia_SteveI know a lot of homebrew users who consider switching to myPVR because of the features we have as standard that they still haven't gotten running.06:55
OpenMedia_SteveJose - No worries.. Running out of ideas.06:55
josebut I was wondering - do you think my xterm setup is just not right?06:55
OpenMedia_Steveexport DISPLAY=:0.0; xterm06:55
superm1jose, do you have gdm setup to not prevent X forwarding?06:55
superm1you wouldnt be able to do that if X forwarding is disabled06:56
joseinteresting06:56
joseSteve, that last commands opened a terminal on my first desktop06:56
OpenMedia_SteveOk so xterm is working then06:56
josesuperml: How do I tell?06:56
superm1well if that worked, no need to worry06:56
joseok06:57
superm1attempt, DISPLAY=:0.1 xterm06:57
superm1to launch on the second display06:57
josewithout export?06:57
superm1you dont necessarily need it06:57
joseok06:57
superm1if you prefix the command that way06:57
josehmm06:58
josejust hangs, as well06:58
superm1what sort of dual head setup is this?06:58

superm1jose, can you post your xorg.conf in a pastebin07:00
superm1!pastebin07:00
ubotupastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)07:00
joseok07:00
superm1I want to double check how you have things setup07:00
OpenMedia_SteveGotta drop out for a couple of minutes. Testing some Wake to record stuff07:00
superm1Ok OpenMedia_Steve we'll speak some more in a few07:00
josehttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24805/07:02
josethanks for taking over, superml07:02
joseAnd thanks, Steve, for helping so far07:02
superm1ok the xorg.conf looks fairly clean07:06
superm1what window manager are you using?07:06
superm1and your not using compiz07:06
superm1or beryl are you?07:06
joseha07:06
josehahahaha07:06
joseI think I AM using compiz07:07
superm1you are?07:07
joseWas not aware that was a problem07:07
superm1thats likely exactly it07:07
superm1i ran into that myself07:07
superm1on an older setup07:07
joseouch07:07
joseok07:07
superm1that i used seperate x screens07:07
joselemme turn that off07:07
joseok yeah07:08
joseDISPLAY=:0.1 xterm07:08
joseworks GREAT now07:08
superm1I looked for a workaround for that for ages07:09
superm1and the only possibility appears to be to use twinview07:10
joseok07:10
superm1which i wasn't interested in switching to07:10
joseno big deal07:10
joseI wasn't erally using compiz for anything07:10
jose DISPLAY=:0.1 totem movie.avi --fullscreen07:11
joseSeems THAT works GREAT07:11
joseMany thanks for figuring that out.07:11
superm1Glad to be able to help :)07:13
josesay07:13
joseDo you know07:13
joseIf in Totem07:13
joseThat "nvidia tv-out"07:13
joseeven works?07:13
superm1I'm not sure.07:14
superm1haven't ever tried it07:14
joseAll I've read on the subject suggests it's just a placeholder07:14
superm1I always just launched totem as07:14
superm1DISPLAY=:0.1 totem %f07:14
superm1where %f is file07:14
josefair enough07:14
superm1which is easy enough to put in mythvideo07:14
joseReally?07:15
josecool07:15
josesay07:16
jose%f07:16
joseis that an argument that can be used in bash scripts?07:17
superm1in bash scripts you'd do it a little differently07:24
joseah ok07:24
superm1use "$@"07:24
superm1that passes arguments on07:24
josecool07:24
joseWITH the quotes?07:24
superm1i used to do something like this:07:25
superm1let me put it on a pastebin07:25
joseok07:25
superm1http://pastebin.ca/55223107:25
josehmm07:26
josewhat are the nvidia-settings lines for?07:26
superm1well that is something i used to do07:27
superm1because i didnt want opengl vsync on07:27
joseah07:27
josegotcha07:27
josesort of07:28
superm1so i would turn it off before starting xine07:28
superm1play the file07:28
superm1and then turn it on when closing it07:28
josecool07:28
superm1but you get the idea, that passes all the arguments of the script to xine07:28
superm1and launches it on :0.107:28
joseeeexcellent07:29
superm1jose, if you can, keep track of things that you come across when getting things setup this way07:30
superm1i meant to document it when i did07:30
superm1but i didn't get around to it, so it will be good to have everything you run into down07:31
superm1it can be added to the wiki at07:31

joseAlas, I won't be able to get any of this done today07:35

joseone last question, if I may07:45
joseNow that I have totem running on the other monitor07:45
joseI know I can run it with command-line switches07:45
joseand control almost everything from my first screen07:45
joseAny idea if someone's already made a program to control Totem from another desktop?07:46

OpenMedia_SteveSweet. Got ACPI Wake + MythWelcome working ;)09:05
superm1OpenMedia_Steve, :)09:16
superm1OpenMedia_Steve, were you basing from the wiki page?09:16
superm1that majoridiot wrote09:16
superm1?09:16
superm1or another source09:16
superm1i know laga and someone else were working off that page09:16
OpenMedia_SteveI used the Ubuntu Wiki and Myth Wiki as guides. Needed a couple of changes due to the Knoppmyth based environment vs Ubuntu.09:17
OpenMedia_SteveI had already checked the ACPI Wake manually.09:17
OpenMedia_SteveJust running a wake up and record now. Need to make sure it shuts down again and then wakes up for the following show an hour later.09:17
OpenMedia_SteveLooking good though. Had some of my customers asking for this to save on their power bills.09:18
OpenMedia_SteveHopefully grumpy will have all of the zero ticks low power stuff ;)09:18
superm1on standalone single machine setups, yes it works wonders09:18
superm1if you have something more like a set of netboot frontends though, or anything distributed across a network for that matter, it can get messier09:19
OpenMedia_SteveThats what most of my install our. Hence the nice compact case with decent audio and video support.09:19
josehey guys09:19
OpenMedia_SteveProblem is finding lightweight hw for frontends that is HD capable.09:19
joseI thought I should tell you09:19
joseThat now, I got totem running on the tv - direct from a desktop shortcut, no less.09:20
joseAND09:20
OpenMedia_SteveSweet.09:20
OpenMedia_SteveHere comes the big one :)09:20
superm1Alright, so you wanted to do what possible to help us out.  I guess my first question would then be what types of resources are you meaning?  Helping with getting mythbuntu code together here, testing, documentation, support structure?09:20
joseI have a little "Enqueue" script, with which to right-click on files09:20
joseAND FINALLY09:21
joseA separate panel, featuring next/last/seek/etc. buttons, all of which control the TV totem from my desktop.09:21
OpenMedia_Stevesuperm1 - All of the above. I have test rigs I can run code on, Debugged a lot of lirc/irblaster stuff. Rework some of the myPVR docs to be generic, Plus NZ specific enhancements to simplify setup09:22
joseAnd which, thanks to ubuntu's art team, look rather nifty.09:22
OpenMedia_StevePlus my experience with "consumers" which have very different requirements over normal Linux users.09:22
superm1jose, sounds like you have things working pretty well :)09:22
OpenMedia_SteveAnyhow gotta bale09:22
OpenMedia_SteveDinner time.09:22
OpenMedia_SteveHome made Pizza :)09:23
superm1OpenMedia_Steve, OK we'll chat more through the next few days then09:23
OpenMedia_SteveYeah. I'll try and remember to leave my IRC on from time to time ;)09:23
josesuperml: Aye. And all thanks to - well - to the exclusion of 3D-acceleration.09:23

superm1with this type of setup09:24
joseFair enough.09:24
superm1you can probably take it a step further if you really wanted to turn off compiz automatically when launching something on the tv09:28
superm1and then turn it back on afterward09:28
superm1but i'm not sure its worth the effort09:29

superm1laga, :(, dont think they will be portable11:30
lagawell11:34
lagawe should be able to use those regular expressions to modify the old .htaccess11:34
lagabut do we need a backport? i doubt it11:35
superm1well supporting it on the 0.20-fixes if its going in mythbuntu11:40
lagahm11:41
lagawhen does it have to be ready?11:41
superm1well get it working on trunk, and then we can worry about getting it on 0.20-fixes11:42
superm1i'll just leave the options disabled in the ubiquity gui until ready11:42
superm1woohoo.  that was the first install that went through with my DB fix.   it worked ! :)11:43
superm1i can kick off a build of these debs now, and then finally get to bed11:43
laga^what options?11:43
lagashouldn't that be handled by the debconf frontend?11:43
superm1i was adding to the ubiquity installer11:44
superm1directly options to set the mythweb password11:45
superm1if you'd like to11:45
lagadoesn't ubiquity provide a debconf frontend?11:47
superm1well it does, but there has to be a gui side of things to it11:47
superm1i can just disable the gui until the packages reflect it11:47
superm1thats part of all this that i've been working on :)11:47
lagacare to explaihn to me how it works? does it use debconf at all or does it duplicatethe new mythweb.postinst changes?11:50
superm1laga, I've been trying to experiment directly calling the postinst changes11:54
superm1but haven't been able to11:54
superm1so i've been duplicating code to an extent11:55
lagaew :(11:55
superm1but it needs to chroot to run the code11:55
superm1which becomes really messy11:55
superm1because env variables need to be escaped11:55
superm1and then perl code running in the chroot needs to be double escaped11:55
superm1and so do sed scripts11:55
superm1thats the biggest thing that was slowing down fixing this DB problem that I was working at11:56
lagathat sounds annoying :(11:56
superm1to say the least11:56
superm1if you pull in revision 4911:56
superm1of the mythbuntu branch11:56
superm1you can see what finally was the working result11:57
lagaalright. does ubiquity just ask the same questions as in the debconf templates or does it actually modify the file system?11:57
superm1or browse it through the webif11:57
lagasuperm1: i'll take a look11:57
superm1its ubiquity/src/ubiq*/d-i/source/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-apply11:57
superm1for the file11:57
superm1well thats all about how i want to handle it11:57
superm1i can pass the same questions11:57
superm1but how i interpret the answers needs to be manually taken care of11:58
