tgm4883superm1, regarding the lircrc file12:32
superm1yea12:33
tgm4883ideally, would we want to have the user select their own button configuration, or have some sort of standard configuration?12:33
=== foxbuntu [n=nfoxqci@12-216-24-171.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
superm1standard i'd say12:33
superm1is the best way12:33
OpenMediaFor some remotes there should be reasonable standards.12:33
superm1see thats part of the problem12:34
superm1there is that effort12:34
superm1to standardize the namespace12:34
superm1and i talked to Arnaud about it today12:34
OpenMediatgm4883: We make sure all the funky custom keys behave correctly - http://openmedia.co.nz/openmedia/content/view/27/59/12:34
superm1and i'm still pretty worried about things being ready in time12:34
foxbuntuopenMedia, thats my remote12:35
foxbuntu:)12:35
OpenMediaWant a customer lirc file that maps the keys like this?12:35
tgm4883could we do something along the lines of implementing this in some form?  lircconfig.commandir.com12:36
superm1tgm4883, that's who i was speaking with this morning about it12:36
tgm4883ah12:36
superm1and he joined with Arnaud to help with the standardization of the name space12:36
foxbuntusure12:36
=== tgm4883 didn't know who Arnaud was
tgm4883ah12:36
superm1ah he is leader of Ubuntu Media Center12:36
superm1if everything doesn't play out in time, we will have to fall back to prebuilt configs for a variety of "popular" remotes12:37
superm1in which case OpenMedia, yours will be very appreciated12:37
superm1but the UMC team is very friendly, they will be using some of the work i put into making lirc work, and anything that we want a hand on they are willing to help12:38
superm1with other common areas12:38
superm1since there will undoubtedly be some12:38
superm1but given what time frame we're in right now, and how much I know has to get in yet, someone needs to start on Daviey's control centre idea12:38
foxbuntusuperm1, where did you get your programmable mce remote?12:39
superm1foxbuntu, um bby?12:39
superm1i think12:39
foxbuntuhmm12:39
foxbuntuguess i will look around12:39
tgm4883got mine on ebay12:39
tgm4883for about $30 after shipping12:39
tgm4883great remote ;)12:40
foxbuntuok...I am tired of the extra remotes12:40
superm1it's only 3 programmable buttons12:40
tgm4883Yea, it's not a whole lot.12:40
foxbuntuthats ok...tv, and audio are good with me12:40
superm1i still keep my other two remotes around12:41
superm1so i can switch video sources12:41
foxbuntuyea12:41
superm1since my ir transmitter doesn't work on my tv12:41
tgm4883just make sure if you have a 360 to turn off the MCE remote function12:41
superm1and since my serial cable didn't work the first time around, and i haven't had time to retry it12:41
foxbuntubut I am tired of finding the other remotes for turning the tv on and adjusting volume12:41
=== tgm4883 still needs to get a serial IR receiver so he can capture his TV remote
superm1foxbuntu, you could always get any other brand of learning remote too12:42
superm1and use it12:42
superm1it doesn't have to be that mceusb2 one12:42
superm1just teach it the mceusb2 codes12:42
foxbuntubut isnt the mceusb2 remote easiest to deal with in lirc?12:42
tgm4883or any JP1 remote should work12:42
superm1foxbuntu, you can use a universal that learns the mceusb2 codes12:43
superm1if you wanted to12:43
tgm4883it's not actually the remote, just the codes12:43
foxbuntuoh...you mean get a learning universal and teach it my lirc remote and then add my other devices to it12:43
tgm4883if you could get your eyes to transmit the mceusb2 codes12:43
superm1OpenMedia, did you have anything else you wanted to add towards mythtv/mythplugins during my next update, or are you guys good?12:43
superm1right foxbuntu12:44
foxbuntugotcha12:44
foxbuntuhmm12:44
foxbuntucould be a good time to buy a stupidly overkill remote for my system12:44
tgm4883I think there is a pretty nice logitech learning remote for around 10012:45
superm1harmony12:45
tgm4883yep12:45
superm1its a very neat remote12:45
superm1i got it for my dad for xmas12:45
superm1last year12:45
tgm4883thats what all the 360 people talk about12:45
superm1but the problem is that you need to program it on a windows box12:45
tgm4883:(12:45
tgm4883Is it a JP1 remote?12:46
superm1i'm not sure what jp1 is12:46

superm1foxbuntu, thats one of the nicer ones12:48
superm1you dont need to go that overkill12:48
=== tgm4883 cue angels ahhhhhhhhh
OpenMediasuperm1 I was going to donate the packaged up version of the myth-webremote package, but had a bit of a busy week.12:48
superm1OpenMedia, ah okay12:49
superm1well that would likely go in a sep. package for the time being either way12:49
superm1until a patch was made to link directly into mythweb12:49
superm1tgm4883, i dont believe it was jp112:49
superm1the harmony12:49
tgm4883im thinking its not12:49
superm1because i read some problem a guy had on digg with getting logitech to budge on spcs12:50
foxbuntusuperm1, please boot your otherself...it annoying in tab complete12:50
tgm4883you would notice 6 little prongs when you open the battery compartment12:50
foxbuntu:)12:50
superm1foxbuntu, i'm the first tab complete12:50
superm1not the second12:50
superm1it should be easy12:50
foxbuntubut it makes me use a space after it becuase its there12:50
superm1tgm4883, this looks like neat stuff12:51
superm1so you can make macros on cheapo remotes12:51

tgm4883yea the jp1 stuff is pretty nice12:52
OpenMediasuperm1 I have a package for myPVR that just want a couple of tweaks. Still haven't had time to read the whole REVU process anyway12:52
tgm4883if you don't want to spend $$$12:52
superm1OpenMedia, well if you don't want to go through the whole submitting process, i'll package it up and submit it with you listed as the author in debian/copyright and just put the maintainer as this mailing list (ubuntu-mythtv@lists.ubuntu.com, so anyone on the list could comment on issues with it)12:53

superm1crazyness12:58
foxbuntuhmm12:58
foxbuntuI found one that seems to be a good buy12:59
foxbuntuwith macro control12:59
foxbuntufor about 9512:59
tgm4883yea, theres my remote01:00
tgm4883good stuff01:00
OpenMediasuperm1 Thanks for the offer, I'll see how I do this weekend, but I'd like to have a good at submitting.01:06
superm1OpenMedia, alright, i'll give some advice before -motu does after you've got it on revu if you want too then01:07

RAOFHey02:54
RAOFsuperm1: So, that worked.  Kinda.02:55
superm1RAOF, gdm issues likely02:55
superm1?02:55
superm1i know post alpha2, some issues developed that need to be addressed02:55
RAOFNah.  I ran into bug #11853902:55

RAOFAlso, no LVM on the live disk :(02:56
superm1oh well go bug cjwatson about no LVM :)02:56
superm1okay so nothing thats too much of our faults then :)02:57

RAOFBah02:58
RAOFI do have one comment that is your fault, though: The gtk theme makes it *very* difficult to tell whether or not a checkbox is selected.02:59
superm1Yes someone has already commented that03:00
superm1foxbuntu, ^^ :)03:00
superm1it also causes a few oddities with FF03:01
RAOFOh, didn't notice that.03:01
RAOFWould an "alternate" cd be possible, with LVM support?  Mythtv really is a killer app for LVM03:02
superm1well starting with 0.21 LVM won't matter03:03
superm1with the introduction of storage groups03:03
superm1and as Daviey pointed out the target for 0.2103:03
RAOFSo they're implementing some of LVM's functionality into mythtv?03:03
superm1we're going to delay release until after 0.2103:03
superm1so if its a month or two after gutsy, it will be a month or two after gutsy :)03:04
superm1storage groups lets you set multiple recording locations03:04
RAOFAh.03:04
superm1without tying you down to making them be on a continuous set of space03:04
superm1so you could have one mount point be a NFS server03:05
superm1one hard drive03:05
superm1and then add an additional hard drive to the box03:05
superm1without needing to expand anything, just add the new mount point to mythtv-setup03:05
RAOFOk, so it's not just a poor-man's lvm :)03:05
superm1na, its supposed to be somewhat decent :)03:06
superm1laga could comment more since he is a trunk fella03:06
superm1if he is around03:06
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, did you see the latest feature request?03:12
superm1tgm4883_laptop, where at?03:12
tgm4883_laptopfeature miguel03:12
tgm4883_laptophttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/miguel03:12
tgm4883_laptopi read that and i was like wtf?03:12
superm1right...03:13
superm1okay well i'll nuke that03:13
tgm4883_laptopok03:13
tgm4883_laptopalso, i was looking at the nfs-shares spec, and wondered if there should be a samba-shares spec also?  Or are we assuming that most people seting up mythbuntu run only linux?03:19
superm1well samba is setup  if they ask for it in the installer right now03:19
superm1some of those specs are partially implemented in the installer03:20
tgm4883_laptopit auto detects samba shares?03:20
tgm4883_laptopah ok03:20
superm1i should probably go through and update them accordingly03:20
superm1well it automatically shares them03:20
superm1eg it checks what plugins you have installed03:21
superm1and makes shares for those03:21
tgm4883_laptopwait im confused, does it share local files on the myth box, or connect to shares on another box?03:21
foxbuntuI was thinking on the lircrc thing...isn't that pretty generic, just includes the lirc.conf?03:22
tgm4883_laptopcrap, gotta run, back in 4503:22
superm1well the problem is that lircrc's need to adapt to the 100s of possible configs03:22
foxbuntubut just the same the signal and main buttons is all you would have to consider right?03:23
foxbuntuall the generics03:23
foxbuntuplay, stop, pause ect ect03:23
superm1well those would be the most important03:23
superm1but there is still a trouble03:23
superm1different lircd.conf's03:23
superm1use Play03:24
superm1or play03:24
superm1or PLAY_UP03:24
superm1or PLAY_en03:24
superm1etc03:24
superm1tons of different varieties03:24
foxbuntucouldnt you parse that somehow...reas it in and generate a consitant lirc.conf?03:24
foxbunturead*03:24
foxbuntuso that Play = play03:25
foxbuntuect03:25
superm1well thats part of what the RemoteControls spec talks about03:25
superm1a standard namespace03:25
foxbuntuoh03:25
superm1if the namespace is standardized, then you can get around that03:25
superm1and easily generate these configs03:25
foxbuntubut that is not looking to happen in time for gusty release either is it03:26
superm1well its looking to happen upstream,03:26
superm1i'm not sure on an eta03:26
superm1foxbuntu, and upstream doesn't really have a "schedule"03:26
superm1so it makes for trouble03:27
foxbuntuwell like I was saying, in the mean time wouldn't it just be easier to generate a parser to standardize the namespace for MythBuntu's use?03:28
superm1well i'm not sure how difficult that would be03:28
superm1if its possible03:28
superm1then that is a very good idea03:28
superm1you can look in /usr/share/lirc/remotes03:28
superm1to see the lircd.confs that need to be standardized03:29
foxbuntuwell, it couldn't be that hard because you only have to look for key words03:29
foxbuntuand output a standard forma03:29
foxbuntut03:29
superm1well feel free to take a look :)03:30
foxbuntusay the standard is "play" look for the indescriminate of play and find Play or Play_en and change it to "play" and drag in all of he codes beyond the whitespace03:31
foxbuntuok ok03:31
foxbuntuI will see about a parser...I recently put something similar together for work03:32
foxbuntubut that was vb script03:32
foxbuntuI think you should try my MySQL memory settings out on your backend and see if you want to drag them into the build...they are working great03:34
superm1foxbuntu, well parsing is easy in perl or python03:35
superm1so either of those are the way to go03:35
foxbuntuok...I will bug you for help with those then03:35
superm1such a standardization might even be doable with sh/awk/grep/sed/tee03:35
foxbuntuuh03:44
foxbuntuexplain03:44
foxbuntuthis could get intresting03:48
superm1sed is a fun utility for text manipulation among many files03:52
superm1i'm not sure the most appropriate way to do this though03:53
foxbuntuI was thinking rather than stardinzing the namespace in the lirc.conf, why not just grab the code names and drop them into he lircrc on the fly03:54
superm1there is no lirc.conf03:54
superm1what do you mean?03:54
superm1lircd.conf?03:54
foxbuntuyea03:55
superm1well that probably is more feasible03:55
foxbuntusry, something wrong with my keyboard03:55
superm1at least in the interim until the namespace is finalized03:55
superm1it would likely do the trick03:55
superm1would need a list of what possibilities are there right nwo though03:56
foxbuntubecause...no matter the format...they all have "begin codes"03:56
foxbuntuand "end codes"03:56
foxbuntuand only read the line until whitespace is inncurred03:57
foxbuntuor read the entire line and then drop all whitespace and 0x and beyond03:58
superm1i'm thinking more and more this is doable in python03:58
superm1using regular expressions03:58
superm1for the common buttons03:58
superm1not for sure though03:58
foxbuntuits going to take some tweaking...to get everything we need and to covert it as needed03:59
superm1http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29605/04:01
superm1that is how i parse the lirc.hwdb04:01
superm1if you want to use it for a basis to get an idea of how to parse a few files04:01
superm1and put examples in04:01
foxbuntuok04:04
foxbuntuand this is perl04:04
foxbuntu?04:05
superm1python04:05
foxbuntuok04:05
foxbuntuso just paste it to a text editior and save as .py?04:06
superm1yes04:06
superm1i spelled the top line wrong04:06
superm1it should be import04:06
superm1not mport04:06
superm1just copied and pasted poorly04:06
superm1but you can get an idea to biuld from with that04:06
superm1how to filter files04:06
superm1for certain expressions04:07
foxbuntuyea, I see here you were reading on semi colan delimerter04:07
superm1well that was breaking a file into fields04:08
superm1you likely wouldn't need to do that04:08
superm1but more so just try to figure out which variant of a regex a line has04:08
superm1and cut off the end of it04:08
superm1after the text with the name04:09
foxbuntuk04:09
foxbuntulet me switch over to my over lappy04:09
superm1probably take a lircd.conf as a basis and see if you can do such things04:09

foxbuntuit boots prob at least 10 secs faster04:15

foxbuntuok its working now05:09
ChadariusHey yeah05:09
superm1if you'd like to get something to work towards, any python experience?05:10
ChadariusEnough to hack around sure05:11
superm1Chadarius, perhaps you'd like to begin the control centre then05:12
ChadariusControl Center. The spec is up on launchpad?05:12
superm1We were thinking a pygtk app05:12
superm1it should be05:13
superm1let me make sure05:13
superm1ah no its not05:13
superm1i'll write out the spec quickly then05:13
superm1and you can see if it makes sense to you05:13
ChadariusOK05:13
ChadariusSo is this a remote control app like thing?05:15
Chadariuspygtk would make it crossplatform too eh?05:15
superm1you'll see, give me a min here :)05:21
Chadariusnp05:21
superm1https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/mythbuntu-control-centre05:24
superm1More important right now is the frontend to it, the Glade pygtk would use05:24
superm1a lot of those functions i have backend code ready for05:25
superm1that is used in the installer05:25
superm1now not exactly cross platform, but if written modular enough, other distros might find use to it05:29
superm1Chadarius, the remote control functionality will be very basic in this first iteration05:30
superm1later revisions would implement more regarding that05:30
Chadariusbasic for first rev is good :)05:31
superm1but as you can see its a pretty hefty list of toys to enable disable05:31
superm1change05:31
superm1have you worked with glade designer before?05:31
ChadariusIs it up on blueprints now?05:32
superm1yes05:32
Chadariusno I haven't05:32
superm1okay well thats something else to learn here, i just learned how to use it not more than 1.5 months ago05:32
superm1in order to write the installer :)05:32
ChadariusSo is the control centre something that will be built into the MythTV interface itself or is this a separate app05:35
superm1sep app05:36
superm1it will be used when the user wants to administer the box05:36
Chadariussuperm1: I assume this will be using pyGTK 2 and Glade 2 correct?05:50
superm1I believe glade is actually at glade 305:50
superm1i developed my ubiquity gui stuff with glade 3.2.005:50
Chadariushmmm OK default on Ubuntu repos is 2.12.1-605:51
superm1there are two glade apps there05:51
superm1in feisty05:51
Chadariusah yes I see05:51
superm1you want glade-305:51
Chadariusjust glade installs 205:51
Chadariusgot it05:51
superm1make sure to remove that older one, they both leave icons in the programming group otherwise05:54
RAOFAlso note that glade is superceded by gtkbuilder, but I'm not sure how the python bindings are.06:42
superm1RAOF, as of when?06:43
RAOFsuperm1: As of gtk-2.latest, I believe06:44
superm1is gtkbuilder present in feisty then, or only gutsy?06:44

foxbuntuso that my temp list file is only the names of the codes08:00

superm1do they always start with 0x?08:01

foxbuntu0x yes08:03
superm1well than look for that?08:04
superm1split a line on that08:04
superm1and take the first field08:04
RAOFfoxbuntu: pyparsing08:09
foxbuntuhmm ok08:11
RAOFPyparsing is cool if you need anything remotely complex08:12
superm1RAOF, you by chance worked with the debconf python module ?08:12
RAOFNope08:12
RAOFI could look at it sometime, I suppose08:13
superm1trying to identify where my code is failing with it :)08:14
RAOFUgh08:14
foxbuntuRAOF, if I use this module for parsing will it have to be included in the MythBuntu for the installer to work properly?08:16
RAOFI suppose so, yes08:16
foxbuntuugh08:17
RAOFBut pyparsing is all of 100K or so08:17
superm1foxbuntu, just get it working, and it wont be a big deal for me to include it08:17

Kenzu_I need to know if a frontend install will fit on a 800mb disk?11:22
bjweeksI think the ubuntu servers uses almost that much alone, not sure though11:24
Kenzu_but a standard debian installl will only take 150mb or something like that11:26
lagaKenzu_: i'd like an answer to that question, too :)12:00
lagaKenzu_: i'll try it out in a VM now.12:07
Kenzu_cool... can you give som feedback please?12:11
lagasure. i'm now downloading the iso12:12
DaveMorrisKenzu_: a standard ubuntu desktop use 2GB, you can run the livecd as a frontend though12:19
DaveMorrisIn the future I'm thinking of making it easy to install on small disks/diskless systems12:19
lagaoi'm prolly gonna install mythbuntu on an USB stick.12:22
lagafor my s100..12:22
lagaduh.12:24
lagai fail at mythbuntu. it says "double click to install" and i did a single click :(12:24
Kenzu_usbstick install could be cool12:25
DaveMorrisyeah, I always struggle to double click it12:26
DaveMorrisKenzu_: I'm thinking usbstick/flashdrive/old small HDD12:26
Kenzu_my epia m1000 will be total silent with a usbstick and no hd12:26
Kenzu_do we have a eta for mythbuntu 7.10 and maybe an usb install?12:27
DaveMorrismythbuntu 7.10 will be shortly after the gutsy release12:29
lagausb install should already work out of the box, right?12:30
lagai'm probably gonna pick up a 2G stick later12:30
DaveMorrisas for usb install, you can do it now, its just a case of getting a large enough usb stick, although swap will kill the drive.12:30
lagathey're easily replacable :>12:30
lagai could stillswap over nfs *cough*12:31
lagamy box has 128M ram.12:31
DaveMorristhe better way to have diskless clients are to download the image over the network using pxe boot, with swap over nfs12:31
Kenzu_how do I install it on usb?12:31
lagadownload the image? naw, that'd kill my RAM :)12:31
DaveMorristhis will allow you to quickly add extra clients etc, and I'll work on it once I've done my Masters (next summer)12:31
DaveMorrisKenzu_: select the usbstick as the target drive12:32
lagaKenzu_: i'd assume you plug in an usb stick and tell the installer to install on the usb stick-12:32
lagaDaveMorris: yes. maybe you/we could steal some stuff from the ubuntu ltsp project.12:32
Kenzu_will grub work on a usbstick? normally i use syslinux12:32
DaveMorrislaga: thats excautly how I was thinking of doing it, as I've run LTSP before12:33
lagai know that lilo will work. grub should work as well. it's a matter of the bIOS as well.12:34
lagaDaveMorris: i meant to run mythfrontend on ltsp but it proved to be too much of a hassle12:34
DaveMorrisKenzu_: grub will work, the usbstick will appear as a /dev/sdX drive12:34
laga"coyping files (less than one minute remaining)12:34
DaveMorrislaga: well hopefully we can make it so you download the image from the mythbuntu site for each release12:34
lagawhat image?12:35
DaveMorrisfor ltsp12:35
lagaah.12:35
lagahum.12:35
DaveMorriswith mythbuntu12:35
lagai dunno how ltsp on ubuntu is implemented.12:35
DaveMorrisso it will just be a few mouse clicks to install and get running12:35
lagai still want to get minimyth working on my diskless box.12:35
laga1.2G is used for the frontend install with most of the plugins and all themes.12:37
laga2G usb stick is it :(12:37
lagawell, i shouldn't have to pay more than 20 for it12:40
Kenzu_how can I help with mythbuntu development if I want to?12:45
Kenzu_have been playing with mythtv for 2 years now...12:45
lagayou can help writing documentation, you can help by implementing features <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/>12:46
laga<ou can help by making suggestions12:46
Kenzu_ok i have a good suggestion... drop ltsp and use a usbstick for boot/kernel and nfs for root... maybe a shared read only root for more than one frontend...12:49
=== jono [i=jono@ubuntu/member/jono] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
Kenzu_then you dont have to set up dhcp and tftp server12:49
Kenzu_only nfs12:49
lagaKenzu_: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/disklessfrontend :)12:49
lagathere is more than one approach to netboot, unfortunately.12:50
Kenzu_and i know myth stores settings in the database based on hostname, so if you could set the host name via kernel cmdline... i.e in grub12:51
lagathat should be possible.12:52
Kenzu_and maybe set the display driver to and resolution12:52
lagaKenzu_: it looks like 1.1G are needed for a frontend install12:52
Kenzu_ok thanks12:52
laga*sigh* it'12:52
lagas using ram disks. great. i'll have to disable that for my meagre 128M RAM :)12:52

lagaare you talking about nfsroot?02:34
lagaor netboot?02:34
Kenzu_becuase then will my diskless senario with boot from usb and nfs root be smarter than ltsp02:34
Kenzu_nfsroot02:34
DaveMorrisKenzu_: I don't think it's possible02:36
lagayou can set up a wireless connection before you mount root. it'd have to be done in the initramfs.02:36
lagayou'll have to set up encryption in there as well02:36
DaveMorrisyeah, but you still need a location to load the initramfs from, which you don't with PXE booting02:37
lagayeah, he wants to store kernel and stuff on an usb stick02:37
Kenzu_DaveMorris, and that location will be the usb stick02:37
DaveMorristhen why not have the whole install on the usb stick?02:38
lagaheh02:38

lagai haven't started yet, i was busy playing with mythbuntu today08:16
superm1_ah08:17
superm1_that 700 meg install, how minimalized is it?08:17
lagaum. it's missing mythweather, mytharchive, the backend, mplayer, firefox, vlc, xine, and /usr/share/doc/08:18
lagaand some other stuff that deborphan gave me08:19
lagaas well as the restricted drivers08:19
lagado you want a package list? ;)08:19
superm1_well i was going to say, some of the stuff can be pulled from the lists08:19
superm1_because i got a little sloppy in the removals08:19
superm1_what would be better is a list of stuff removed08:20
superm1_if you could08:20
lagasure, i'll see what i can do.08:20
superm1_and then i can better see if there is anything else to pull off the list08:20
lagaKenzu: did have some trouble with installing to a 2 GB usb stick, i might as well try to reproduce that08:20

superm1_i haven't looked at Kenzu's posted logs too much in depth yet08:23
superm1_but it looked like partman was where things dies08:23
superm1_*died08:23
superm1_it might actually be a ubiquity problem, not a mythbuntu only problem08:23
superm1_Kenzu, are you still here?08:23
lagahum08:26
lagacopying my mythbuntu install to an usb disk in virtualbox is not exactly fast08:26
superm1_Daviey, you here?08:26
superm1_yea i can see that..08:26
lagadarn.08:37
lagai did an rsync -av to sync my install to the usb disk. it's 700M on the virtualbox disk and 600M on the usb disk. i wonder if i have to blame block size or something.08:38
lagaah, the FS has errors.08:39
KenzuI'am back...08:48
superm1_Kenzu, could you repeat an install on that usbstick08:49
superm1_ifi  was to give you a different way to try something08:49
superm1_to rule out a problem08:49
KenzuI did it 3 times08:49
superm1_right08:49
superm1_i want to make sure that it isn't caused by our code08:49
superm1_in the mythbuntu ui08:49
superm1_that its actually upstream's fault08:49
Kenzuwith normal partioning and manual08:50
Kenzuand in danish and english only08:50
superm1_okay08:50
superm1_if you pull up a terminal08:50
superm1_and launch it like this:08:50
superm1_sudo ubiquity gtk_ui08:50
superm1_it will deactivate all the changes we have for mythbuntu08:51
superm1_so you can run a vanilla copy of the upstream installer08:51
Kenzuok... I could try that...08:51
superm1_and if the same thing happens, we can reclassify that bug to ubiquity08:52
Kenzuplease give me some time...08:53
KenzuI try to locate a problem on my backend to...08:53
Kenzumy recordings get deleted after a day or so08:53
Kenzuand it startet after mythweb was installed... maybe a search robot on the net is trickering the delete link on the recordings?08:54
superm1_that is very possible08:55
superm1_if its not locked down08:55
lagait's probably auto expire..08:55
lagayou should lock down your mythweb!08:55
lagaKenzu: see /var/log/apache2/access.log08:56
Kenzuauto expire will only delete livetv08:56
superm1_autoexpire will delete anything if it needs more space08:56
Kenzuand recording if i'am lov on space08:56
KenzuI have 400Gb left08:58
Kenzuubiquity will not run with gtk_ui after09:04
Kenzuonly sudo ubiquity09:04
Kenzuok... It's not mythbuntu... same error on normal ubiquity09:06
superm1_okay then we can reclass that bug09:08
superm1_as ubiquity instead09:08
Kenzufound my problem on the backend... google bot09:12

Kenzumaybe some safety is a good place to start... he09:13
superm1_Kenzu, this doesn't happen when installing to a hard drive for you right?09:22
superm1_i reclassed the bug as a ubiquity bug09:22
Kenzuright09:22
lagasuperm1_: should i still try to reproduce it?09:22
superm1_laga, if you can09:23
lagaok09:23
superm1_i think i see the cause of it09:23
lagawhat is it?09:23
superm1_when a label is set on the flash drive09:23
superm1_with a name that has a space in it09:23
superm1_it automounts09:23
superm1_but then isn't able to unmount09:23
superm1_Kenzu, your flash drive did have a space in the label correct?09:23

lagagood question.09:30
Kenzucan you please tell me one thing about mythweb... i have to set chmod 644 on the password fil and not 640 as i the wiki...09:30
Kenzuwhy?09:30
superm1_http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=36566109:30
Kenzuok.. now it show up as mythbuntu09:32
Kenzubut ubuntu still think it's a mp3player09:32
superm1_thats fine09:33
superm1_as long as the label doesn't have a space in the name09:33
Kenzubut i don't want it to be an mp3player09:34
superm1_if your booting off of it, it won't matter09:34
KenzuIll try the install again09:34
Kenzuso far it's a go09:37
Kenzuit's installing09:37
Kenzusuperm1_, your the man09:37
superm1_Kenzu, more room for trouble though :)  Hopefully you don't hit any other walls09:37
laga error creating directory `./usr/share/doc/libc6': No such file or directory09:39
lagai know i shouldn't have deleted random stuff ;)09:39
Kenzunormally i use archlinux and larch on usb... this was used on my old setup... larch with xfce4.4 and mythfront and lots of plugins could fit on 350-400mb09:42
superm1_well there are a lot more thing that are installed here, and likely a few that can endure some cleanup09:43
superm1_but the install here should fit within ~1GB09:43
superm1_i'd gander09:43
Kenzularch is pretty smart for usbstick... and it uses read on compressed filesystem with overlay so you can save your setting or stuff09:44
Kenzuread only09:44
superm1_i'm working on a spec yesterday and today actually09:44
superm1_that will save a conf file to a flash drive09:44
superm1_and use that to start mythfrontend09:44
superm1_mount network shares09:45
Kenzumaybe that could be a good place to learn something for live mythbuntu09:45
superm1_so you just need a flash drive and cd09:45
superm1_and you have a complete fully configured frontend09:45
Kenzuhttp://four.fsphost.com/gradgrind/ take a look09:45
superm1_actually what that does is already supported in Ubuntu09:46
Kenzularch can save the setting to cd to... it will just burn a new session09:46
superm1_an overlay like that09:46
superm1_onto a flash drive09:46
superm1_i opted to not use it for mythbuntu though09:46
superm1_because that means you have to allow it to overwrite the whole drive09:47
superm1_the way i'm doing it with a configuration file, you will be able to use the drive for other stuff too if you awnt09:47
superm1_*want09:47
superm1_i'll be back in a bit09:47
superm1_i'm gonna grab some lunch09:47
