[12:27] "..make them jump when they.." [12:27] Daviey, yes :( [12:27] superm1: can you use DataDirect? [12:27] well zap2it == datadirect [12:28] ah [12:28] i'm willing to throw a few bucks in [12:28] we have two xmltv providers in the UK. [12:28] every few month [12:29] if it comes to it [12:29] for a commercial offering [12:29] It seems their major issue is companies using it for profit [12:29] i thought making users register stopped that :( [12:30] well its not myth users [12:30] from what i've read [12:30] it was some others [12:30] :`( [12:31] Daviey: Is the other one apart from RT bleb? [12:31] reclusivemonkey, what is iMon? [12:31] superm1: iMon is a set of IR remote products; http://www.soundgraph.com/ [12:32] reclusivemonkey: yes [12:32] Daviey: Its a shame about ITV :-S I've never had any problems with RT, but its nice to have an alternative. [12:32] prob with ITV? [12:33] Daviey: From the website; "ITV listings are now unavailable due to legal reasons. If/when I can arrange with ITV a machine readable, royalty free version of their listings they will return. Sorry for the inconvenience. More information is available in my diary. Piers Roberts has created a petition." [12:33] Not that I watch anything on ITV ;-) [12:34] that's awful [12:35] mind you; if he was grabbing their html pages it might have caused issue [12:36] ITV will be very advert driven... I imagine anything which might mean people not visiting their site they won't like... [12:37] thing is, if you have their listings your more likely to watch their channel and see their ads. [12:37] very short minded imo [12:39] Daviey: True, but I am not entirely surprised ITV don't see the bigger picture.

[03:31] superm1, can US users use xmltv? what's gonna happen after septermber? [03:31] *september [03:32] rogue780, CST [03:32] rogue780, there is discussions going on [03:32] for something to replace zap2it [03:32] possibly a pay solution [03:32] where you would pay $20-30 /yr [03:33] rogue780, you might want to put a vote in here: http://bb.labs.zap2it.com/viewtopic.php?t=1296 [03:35] how much bandwidth do you suppose a service like that would take? [03:35] well I'm thinking it would more work out as a licensing deal [03:35] for that same data [03:35] TMS provides [03:36] http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/275350 [03:36] is the relevant thread where its all being discussed on the mailing list [03:39] I wonder if 2.244 TB/mo would be enough [03:40] well its pretty hard to gauge [03:40] because there is no "number" of the people using the product [03:40] that has been defined anywhere at least [03:50] $20-30 yr is reasonably low, US$5 a month. [03:50] I suggested around NZ$5/month for data here and the feedback was quite negative.

[04:09] Ooh [04:09] put it up [04:10] an' illl look her over [04:10] hmm.. my new key isn't sync with revu [04:10] OpenMedia, so that works out to needing 7.2e3 people for $20/yr [04:11] i can scp it to pegasys quickly?

[05:31] they will discuss [05:31] It was recommended that a proposal be drawn up now [05:31] Since they only go through them once a month [05:31] and to give us time in case it was declined to find an alternate provider [05:32] If they decline, forum on mythbuntu.org :) [05:32] which incidently, i'd prefer :) [05:32] YARLY [05:32] actually maybe we should attend if we can [05:32] but ubuntu-forums is more accessible.

[05:38] That was the plan :) [05:38] if not, i'll do it [05:38] heh [05:38] as long as it works on yours [05:38] my svn version needs some very minor polishing, eg flushing the password.

It doesn't seem to handle wireless passkeys, so i had to find an old network cable to go futher.. [06:22] then got a myth protocol error.. i guess i am working with too new a version of myth backend :( [06:22] loops, yea- its a fairly minimalistic setup, wireless can be configured - but its not an easy way [06:23] loops, what version of myth are you running? [06:23] whose packages? [06:23] superm1, yeah.. i tried using iwconfig etc.. but read in man page that passkeys are not yet supported (which is how my router is setup) [06:23] superml, i'm on gentoo right now [06:23] then you should be on 0.20-fixes [06:23] which is whats supported [06:23] mythtv-0.20.1_p13344 [06:24] yea there shouldnt be any reason for that not to work [06:24] strange.. took a bit of fiddling to get mysql setup properly.. [06:24] but once it was working it looked like everything was just-going-to-work [06:24] double clicking the link on the desktop? [06:24] should have asked for mysql info [06:24] which you just enter and things should launch [06:25] yes.. problem was on backend [06:25] ah to make a remote frontend allowed to connect [06:25] yes [06:25] well.. i'm not confident that i have backend running properly for mythfrontend to connect [06:25] which port should it use ? 6543 ? [06:26] standard ports [06:26] are 6543 [06:26] and you used your ip address in mythtv-setup [06:26] on the backend [06:26] not 127.0.0.1 [06:26] right? [06:26] right.. [06:26] in *both* boxes [06:26] i changed that by hand in mysql [06:26] hmm... oh [06:26] open it in mythtv-setup [06:26] are you speaking on frontend or back? [06:26] you'll see what i mean [06:26] on the backend [06:26] okay.. 1 sec [06:27] and you need to restart the backend after the changes [06:27] to make them take effect [06:27] right.. top box still had 127.0.0.1 [06:28] that would be trouble [06:28] running downstairs to try again :) brb [06:42] superm1, much better :) [06:42] loops, workin now :) [06:43] superm1, tv viewing worked well (although a bit slow, said no XVideo surface found, falling back to shared mem) [06:43] loops, what vid card? [06:43] i'm not sure what's in that laptop.. i think its some nvidia card [06:43] oh so it likely used the vesa driver [06:43] anything to do about that? [06:43] since proprietary drivers aren't activated on disk atm [06:43] okay [06:44] one other thing [06:44] well in live mode, that is a bit of a trouble for us to sort out still [06:44] when i try to go into program guide (S key) while watching tv... it crashed [06:44] with long back trace... [06:44] but i can't figure out how to capture it for you [06:44] cut-n-paste doesn't seem to work.. [06:44] on the newer alphas (than public alpha 1), we are activating proprietary drivers after install [06:44] but still not in live mode [06:45] sure.. understandable. === MegaQuark__ [n=gary@pool-71-117-203-17.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [06:45] where did the backtrace get made?

[06:46] but it still went to terminal screen rather than file [06:46] Mythbuntu 7.04 x86 (Alpha: 06/03/2007) ISO [06:46] interesting to see glib errors off that.... [06:47] wish i knew how to capture it for u [06:47] well i'm not too sure it will be helpful either way [06:47] apport isn't active on that disk [06:47] to make it a meaningful backtrace [06:47] right [06:48] it was all cryptic to me [06:48] well all I an say is see if the 7.10 disks work better. we'll be announcing one within the next few weeks [06:48] and apport will be on [06:48] so we can catch your backtraces [06:49] okay.. i'll keep on the lookout for that..

The only formatting was between gentoo -> ubuntu, and the db and recordings followed with [10:46] superm1: you have kids? did this coincide with gentoo --> ubuntu ? ;-) [10:46] haha [10:47] total down time was a matter of a day [10:47] he has a life now ;) [10:47] and thank goodness no kids here [10:47] lol @ laga [10:48] how old are you guys? .. just curious :> [10:48] superm1: Using unoffical packages :) [10:48] well at that time - yes [10:48] when I had time to tinker, I was happy to try anything and learn on the way. Its always the path of least resistance now [10:48] 34 [10:48] kruuli, 21, turning 22 later this summer [10:48] 24 here .. turning 25 in july :> [10:49] <- 20, turning 21 next year [10:49] The kids aren't an issue; it's the misses. She missed neighbours today (my fault) [10:49] heh [10:49] Bunch of children. [10:49] well, a mythtress has to bear a lot with her geek [10:49] oh yes.. very understandable [10:49] Scary I was hacking code before most of you were born... Ok so I started coding at 11.. [10:50] OpenMedia haha :> [10:50] OpenMedia: back in the day when rubber boots were made from leather, huh? [10:50] Thats the one :0 [10:50] OpenMedia: bet you were a hardcore assembler for embedded devices by the age of 12 :) [10:50] My good old ZX81.. Real coputing power [10:51] Yup Z80 assembler at 12 [10:51] Ahhh the specy' [10:51] Daviey: At first you get "You're not having a computer in the lounge", next thing, your b@lls are being busted because "the thing isn't working!" [10:51] Heck I was doing embedded development using Linux 9 years ago. === OpenMedia finds another grey hair. [10:52] OpenMedia: How old are you? [10:52] My first computer was an Acorn Electron === reclusivemonkey looks for some hair... [10:53] 37 [10:54] OpenMedia: Ah, the screech of code on cassette tape is music to your ears then ;-) [10:54] Guys where is the gutsy mythbuntu iso [10:54] Heck I could tell which game my brother was loading by the sound of the tape. [10:56] OpenMedia, http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/iso [10:56] Ah sorry found it.. [10:56] OpenMedia, be wary though, something is bugging up glib [10:56] Now quite awake yet here [10:56] Heck its just for a play in virtualbox [10:56] the installer is fairly functional now, but since glib is buggy, it doesnt always launch [10:57] i've been trying to track it down (it happens with the upstream ubuntu installer too) [11:00] Has anyone from the UK signed up to the BBC Archive Trial? [11:01] rogue780, i think you might have encountered bug 106864 the other day [11:01] Launchpad bug 106864 in linux-source-2.6.20 "Feisty boot fail "can't access tty" IDE SATA problem" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106864 [11:02] reclusivemonkey: no; but wish i had [11:02] superm1, that sounds about right [11:02] didn't hear about it until too late [11:02] Daviey: there's not that much on at the moment. 372 programs so far. Quite a varied bunch though [11:03] booo. wish i was [11:03] Is it using DRM? [11:03] rogue780, so it is all gutsy round then. good to hear at least [11:04] Daviey: Can't see there being any issue with you using my log in; reclusive.monkey@gmail.com PIN: 580896 [11:04] http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/trial [11:05] reclusivemonkey, you shouldnt have posted that in this channel [11:05] its logged [11:05] you might want to change the pin and pm it to Daviey [11:05] Daviey: nope WMV or RP [11:06] yeah; might be an idea to change it if you can [11:07] But thanks; i really appreciate it! [11:08] superm1 Daviey TBH I don't think I'll use it much. Not sure I can change the pin... [11:08] Daviey, I was thinking today after i spoke to loops [11:08] what if 3 boot options were available [11:08] 1) Install or Run Mythbuntu (Free Graphics Drivers) [11:09] 2) Install or Run Mythbuntu (ATI Proprietary Graphics Driver) [11:09] 3) Install or Run Mythbuntu (NVIDIA Proprietary Graphics Driver) [11:09] and casper was used to append a part of the filesystem [11:09] that included the appropriate piece [11:09] 4) Install or Run Mythbuntu (Unichrome Driver) [11:09] ^^ [11:10] good idea [11:10] I'm not sure how feasible it actually is [11:10] but what if johnny doesn't know what is best? [11:10] then he chooses Free [11:10] okay [11:10] i heard that casper could do such magic though [11:10] because thats how you can save changesto flash drives [11:11] maybe hold old though - i' certain they must be working on something dor this upstream [11:11] well i asked in ubuntu-installer about it [11:11] didnt get an answer [11:11] cjwatson is out of town though [11:11] he would be the most likely person to ask [11:12] bbl 10 [11:14] superm1, has there been any consideration for unichrome drivers in mythbuntu? [11:15] yes [11:15] its on the horizon [11:15] but have other things first [11:15] sweet [11:15] someone needs to package it first if anything [11:15] so if anyone wants to step up and do that [11:15] i'll be glad to help revu it before hand [11:15] cd [11:16] su - [11:16] root@#ubuntu-mythtv:> [11:18] I wish I knew how to package things [11:19] rogue780, if you'd like to learn, there are plenty of people around that would be glad to help [11:19] !packagingguide [11:19] The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources - See also !backports [11:19] is a good start [11:19] thanks [11:19] i've got a pretty good idea what it will take to pakcage these openchrome drivers [11:19] just no time to execute that [11:22] Daviey, come to think of it - if that idea works for proprietary drivers [11:22] using casper [11:23] that means that virtual machine accelerated drivers can be done too that way [11:23] this can really be something neat [11:24] "virtual machine accelerated drivers"? what do you mean? i think there'll be some kind of unified interface in the kernel [11:24] well if you use virtual box [11:24] or vmware [11:24] they provide a "guest services" [11:24] pack [11:24] that includes a higher performance networking and display driver [11:24] virtualbox provides a better networking driver? i didn't know that [11:24] oh indeed [11:24] but you are right wrt the display driver [11:25] well i know that vmware does the networking [11:25] i'm pretty sure virtual box does too, but i'm not 100% on virtual box's networking [11:26] vbox normally uses an AMD pcnet driver afaik [11:27] heh [11:27] FYI: i'm not working on mythweb, i'm packaging the perl bindings. i need them desperately [11:28] virtual machines are great for demostrations; but i feel that is a minor feature requirement atm [11:29] well its a pretty easy add if the casper stuff works for proprietary drivers [11:29] true [11:30] How much time delay do you suspect making a change like this at runtime will take? [11:31] minimal [11:31] cool [11:31] think of it this way [11:31] how long does that 380 meg image take to boot? [11:31] fair point [11:31] great. awesome, really. ./configure --prefix=/usr results in the perl bindings being installed to debian/mythtv/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/ [11:31] you add another 40-50 megs more to it, and you'll have 40/380 or about a 10.5% increase [11:32] wow why? [11:32] broken upstream configure script? [11:33] superm1: probably. i'll go through the last commits now to check if there is a fix. i don't want to svn up because of the latest ffmpeg merge [11:33] ah [11:33] laga, no network driver in virtual box additions [11:33] its vmware only [11:34] why avoid latest ffmpeg? [11:34] is it borked? [11:34] Daviey: not necessarily, but those merges tend to introduce new bugs [11:34] ah [11:35] they're teasing, hovering around 91-98 tickets this last week === Daviey runs for the hills [11:36] Daviey, you better come back and get those themes in before running.... [11:36] :) [11:36] i'll take the laptop [11:37] what about web access? [11:37] hopefully there will be unsecured wifi / bluetooth to mobile :) [11:38] don't fancy doing 100meg dputs tho :s [11:38] OT: don't suppose any of you guys have any idea about Bug 121612 [11:38] Launchpad bug 121612 in linux-source-2.6.20 "[sata_sil] SATA PCI not working (chipset: SiI3512)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121612 [11:40] can't say so [11:41] :`( [11:43] hey has anyone here ever played the game Just Cause? [11:44] yup [11:44] we do it all the time in #mythtv-users [11:44] "why is my livetv broken [11:44] " [11:44] "just because" [11:44] pmsl [11:44] hah [11:45] Daviey: at first, i thought you were making a PMS reference to the "just cause" thing [11:45] well i play a similar game with my old roomate who happens to be a vegetarian. every time something goes wrong with him, his school, woemn, anything. i blame it all on him being a vegetarian. [11:47] heh my gf is a vegetarian aswell .. i like bloody meat .. so its not a good match :> [11:48] its a lot of fun to do, you should try it next time she starts complaining about something :) [11:48] qemu virtualmachine provides rtl-8029 networking device [11:48] just say "it's because you are a girl" [11:49] kruuli: have you tried curing her? [11:49] it can be overcome with support [11:49] meat is *great* [11:50] sure thing .. i still buy alot of meat cuting it up infront of her face .. always gets her in a good mood lol [11:51] I wonder what kind of a front end this would make: [11:51] http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/More-Like-DidgeriDont!.aspx [11:51] http://store.dataevolution.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DT-7001&Show=TechSpecs [11:52] 366Mhz.....hmm [11:52] * still kind of slow (366 MHz processor) <-- would that be enough for a FE? [11:52] i'd say not a good one [11:52] no [11:54] rogue780: http://www.jadeintegration.com/images/ani_chippc.gif (animated gif)
