tgm4883bah bah bah bah07:09
lagathanks for approving my rtc-video-timing blueprint, btw07:09
tgm4883i figured since it said it was going into 7.10 that it should be approved instead of new07:10
tgm4883that way the new ones jump out as us a little more07:10
lagaah07:10
lagadidn't know i selected it for 7.1007:10
lagaany news wrt to the site?07:10
=== tgm4883 shrugs
=== laga sighs
tgm4883i haven't seen superm1 or imbrandon around since i've been back07:11
tgm4883yea the rtc timing was selected for 7.1007:12
tgm4883the user jobs doesnt have a target release though07:12
lagathat'd require some changes in packaging since those scripts are in the mythtv-doc package07:14
lagaif they are packaged at all, there was a change in trunk07:14
tgm4883are we still planning on holding off on releasing until .21 gets released?07:15
=== claydoh_ [n=claydoh@66-252-48-212.dyn-adsl.midmaine.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
lagaAFAIK, we'll release when gutsy is released07:16
laga0.21.. there is no ETA.07:16
tgm4883ah07:16
tgm4883that was the last I had heard of it was we were waiting for .2107:17
lagai doubt that's gonna happn07:17
tgm4883its starting to look like .21 is not getting any closer07:17
lagano07:17
lagathe mythtv-vid branch is to be merged before 0.2107:17
lagawhich could delay it even further07:17
lagathere'll be a 0.20.2 release, though, due to schedulesdirect.com07:18
tgm4883are any of the .21 features going to make it into .20.2 or is it just fixes07:19
lagai'm going to add support for SiS tv-outs to the installer. after that, i'm not sure what to do. svn packages are on hold since i can't seem to produce a working mythbuntu CD.07:19
lagait's just fixes i believe07:20
tgm4883ah is schedulesdirect the new zap2it07:20
lagayes07:20
tgm4883nice to have a solution to the problem07:21
laganot a problem to me ;)07:22
lagaand TBH, i can't stand the bitching and whining anymore because of it. "it's too expensive" wah wah07:22
lagaglad it'll be over soon ;)07:22
tgm4883$5 a month is too expensive???  Seriously, TiVo costs more than that07:24
lagaheh07:24
lagathey aim for $20/year07:24
tgm4883i hear the same thing about xbox live, which is just under $5 a month07:24

lagawe use it as a communications device08:26
nuuser2i c. but wadya talk aboot?08:27
laganever mind08:28
nuuser2oh08:28
nuuser2is it private er sumthin?08:28
lagathis channel is about mythtv on ubuntu and mythbuntu, a ubuntu-derived distribution around mythtv08:29
lagano08:29
lagai was giving you a clue to speak properly since it's really hard for me to understand what you say08:29
nuuser2oh. then it is where a feller can find help on settin up n runnin mythtv on ubuntu08:30
nuuser2mah yanglish be immakalet, i'll have ya no08:30
nuuser2but ah gears it to the medyum i's usin'08:31
TelnetMantaoh boy..08:31
nuuser2irc have its own langij that don't bear no absolute resmlins to proper english08:32
nuuser2anyhooz, it'd appear that the place's almost deserted08:33
nuuser2lotsa names in the list, but nobuddy yakkin08:34
=== tgm4883 stares blankly at nuuser2
nuuser2be that az it may . . .08:35
nuuser2how duz a feller run mythtv-setup anew once he's gone thru the routine 1x?08:36
tgm4883type mythtv-setup in terminal08:36
nuuser2how do i get to a terminal?08:36
tgm4883are you running mythbuntu or ubuntu with mythtv installed08:37
TelnetMantait must take a lot of energy to speak like that.08:37
tgm4883to speak english or 1337?08:38
tgm4883or somewhere in between which seems to be this case08:38
nuuser2ubuntu with myth installed08:39
nuuser2started with the minimal cd and built up from there08:39
tgm4883do you have gnome?08:39
nuuser2no. openbox, it'd appear08:40
tgm4883hmm08:40
tgm4883ah08:40
nuuser2but any session i try to log in with as mythtv user i get the mythtv interface08:40
tgm4883what kind of setup is it?  FE/BE?  FE only?08:40
nuuser2FE/BE08:40
nuuser2i can get to a vt uh course08:41
nuuser2and even start an alternate xsession from there08:41
tgm4883laga, do you run mythtv-setup as the mythtv user or the regular user?08:41
nuuser2but it seems like i oughta be able to do it thru the main gui somehow08:41
tgm4883no, mythtv-setup is not run through the main gui08:42
tgm4883this is because mythtv-setup has to stop the backend to run properly08:42
nuuser2means i gotta start an alternate x session08:42
nuuser2and stp the backend08:42
nuuser2right?08:42
tgm4883well mythtv-setup will stop the backend for you08:42
tgm4883you should be able to log into openbox as the default user (not the mythtv user08:43
tgm4883)08:43
nuuser2k. i know i can do that. but is it suposed to be run by another user than mythtv?08:43
tgm4883i believe so, just a sec08:44
nuuser2wut is mythtv's passwd, btw?08:47
tgm4883yea you do run it as the other user08:47
tgm4883the mythtv user?08:47
nuuser2k08:47
nuuser2nvidia proprietary odules r in multiverse?08:47
nuuser2odules=modules08:47
tgm4883no restricted08:49
nuuser2user's gotabe added to mythtv group, btw. this indicates to me that mythtv shoul be able t do this, since that user's already a memeber of mythtv group08:51

nuuser2dual P3 (1.3Ghz), 1024 MB RAM, Adaptec SCSI ctrlr with 2 SCSI disks: sufficient resouces to run mythtv?08:59
tgm4883yes09:00
tgm4883well, depending on what you want to view, you probably won't get to view HD09:00
nuuser2don't want hd09:00
=== tgm4883 cant live without HD
tgm4883then your fine09:01
tgm4883IMO one of the most important specs in a mythtv system is the tuner card09:01
nuuser2wut kinda capture card recommended? attraction of hd escapes me. i'm not really doin this cuz i like to watch alot of TV anyways. more of a learning project09:01
tgm4883PVR-15009:02
tgm4883it's a popular card that works OOB in feisty and has a hardware encoder09:02
tgm4883also comes with a remote (although I prefer the MCE remote)09:02
nuuser2i got a hauppage win tv 38101 (el cheapo). any1 have any experience with those?09:03

superm1Chadarius, you here?09:15
ChadariusYeah hey... got some dialogue boxes that I'm finishing up todya09:16
superm1Chadarius, well i wasn't sure where you had ran off to, i took off and did some of the stuff myself09:16
ChadariusI need to tie them into an interface, but I'll have some stuff to show you probably tomorrow09:16
superm1so i hope that i didn't double up over what you did09:16
Chadariuswell if anything I'm sure it will help us either way09:17
superm1do you have a gutsy VM or anything you can check out the branch i've got thus far and see what i did?09:17
superm1see what's been doubled up09:17
Chadariusyeah I'll check it out tonight09:17
Chadariuswhat's the url09:18
superm1here is the LP url09:18
superm1https://code.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-control-centre09:18
ChadariusIf anything I can integrate my stuff into what you have or vice versa09:18
superm1you'll need to install a few packages in order to run it09:18
superm1lirc09:18
superm1python-mysqldb09:19
superm1python-glade2, python-gtk2, python-mysqldb, lirc (>= 0.8.2-0ubuntu4), mythbuntu-lirc-generator, synaptic, restricted-manager, expect, vnc4-common, mythtv-common, gksudo, python-apt09:19
Chadariusk think I already have most of those in the vm already09:19
superm1okay well this week we need to be full speed ahead on this.  it needs to be done by the end of the week if its going to make it into gutsy09:20
superm1a lot of the interface is done, and the python code is tied pretty tightly to it09:20
superm1the big thing is a matter of making sure that it can do all the actions as advertised09:20
superm1tgm4883, with revu being down, you might want to consider posting your source package somewhere on your webspace along with the output of linda and lintian on the dsc as well as resultant debs , and just asking for someone in -motu to look it over09:22
tgm4883ok, will do09:23
=== nuuser2 [n=jamtat@CPE-70-92-242-250.wi.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu-mythtv ["Kopete]
tgm4883superm1, so i can just put the .diff.gz, .dsc, and .changes on my webspace or do I need the .orig.tar.gz too09:28
superm1Not the .changes09:30
superm1but all the rest09:30
superm1including the .orig.tar.gz09:31
tgm4883superm1, just want to make sure this is all i need09:40
tgm4883http://linux.weilandhomes.com09:40
superm1yea that should be about it09:41
superm1i'll give the packages a quick look over09:41
superm1make sure i dont catch anything09:41
tgm4883ok, i'll wait a bit to ask in #ubuntu-motu09:41
superm1actually i do see something09:42
superm1you are creating a Makefile in the diff.gz09:42
superm1which shouldn't be done09:42
tgm4883no makefile09:42
superm1there is one in diff.gz09:43
superm1extract it and you will see it09:43
lagare09:43
superm1hey laga09:43
superm1tgm4883, also debian/copyright09:43
tgm4883so if thats the case, I should remove that from the root09:43
superm1there are extra spaces at the top of the file09:44
superm1and check the license,09:44
superm1the source is GPLv209:44
superm1but you claim the debian package to be GPLv309:44
superm1you might want to just make it all GPLv2 for simplicities sake09:44
lagasuperm1: i'm going to add support for SiS tv-outs to ubiquity-mythbuntu. is that OK with you?09:44
superm1yes laga09:44
superm1laga, you understand how to correct?09:45
tgm4883so I can just change the 3 to 2 in the copyright file?  I took it from the GPL site09:45
superm1yea09:45
tgm4883ok09:45
tgm4883and remove the makefile from the root dir09:45
lagasuperm1: i'll find out, i 'spose09:45
superm1laga, are those sis tv out drivers proprietary?09:46
superm1or no09:46
superm1tgm4883, yea09:46
lagasuperm1: not proprietary. they should be shipped with ubuntu already.09:46
superm1laga, then the wording on that page needs to be changed09:47
lagasuperm1: yeah :(09:47
superm1because currently that page only activates on proprietary support09:47
tgm4883ok, the new files are uploaded09:47
superm1and its functionality of hiding dialog boxes and such too09:47
lagasuperm1: i'll try to wrap my head around glade then09:48
superm1laga, be careful with it, it's easy to break things :)09:48
lagasuperm1: heh09:48

lagasuperm1: how do you run ubiquity when it's not installed?10:46
superm1laga, you don't10:46
superm1you install it10:46
superm1when i do development on it, the way i do it is a i have a vm running10:46

superm1and drop in my changes to the VM10:47
superm1in place where they would be installed to10:47
lagajoy. :)10:47
superm1its the easiest way i found10:47

lagasuperm1: hum. i'll add a drop-down menu to "Additional Drivers/Firmware" asking the user to choose his VGA hardware if he needs tv-out. first entry will be SiS, maybe intel can be added later.10:56
superm1laga however you do, mind you that when that button is pressed, it detects proprietary drivers10:58
superm1be it nvidia or ati10:58
superm1but that could always go10:58
lagai could also add some lspci magic but that can get ugly, especially since it's only needed for tv-out.10:58
superm1just for functionalities sake, get something10:58
superm1doesn't need to be pretty10:58
superm1or final yet10:58

superm1there is something called gtk-builder, but i've never messed with it11:02

superm1what's happening ?11:03

=== cooper77 [n=epieper@169.203.82.5] has left #ubuntu-mythtv []

lagacool11:07

lagai should RTFM11:07
superm1haha11:14
superm1took me a minute to figure that out too11:14
superm1not exactly intuitive11:14
lagano11:14
lagabut i just managed to place a widget in the ui, too11:14
superm1be careful not to cut and paste widgets11:15
superm1it breaks the signals attached to them11:15
superm1and renames them11:15
lagabecause of their properties?11:15
lagaah11:15
superm1so if you do do so, then just make sure to look at that widget, as well as all child widgets11:16
superm1and rename everything as it is supposed to11:16
superm1be11:16
lagak11:16
lagai'll just not copy & paste anything11:16
superm1well sometimes you will need to when adding or changing vbox/hboxes11:17

lagaalthough the GF just returned from sweden...11:17
superm1well if you're anything like me, you'll find time around her:)11:19
lagaluckily i read a guide about python programming with glade a while back.11:21
superm1well it's really not too bad once you get the feel for it11:23
lagai would be happier if it was PERL. but that's just because i'm lazy11:23
superm1well python reads pretty easy in general11:23
superm1so that's what i really like about it11:23
lagaubiquity looks like object-oriented code. i'm not familiar with that11:25
laga"inheritance" is a big conundrum to me11:25
superm1haha11:25
superm1it essentially means that you get all the functions of the class you inherit from11:25

keescooksuperm1: they need to give you some motu status, is what needs to happen.  :)12:14
superm1keescook, I completely agree :)  I don't know what more I can do though for it, I don't have time for going through an triaging bugs and doing syncs and merges for packages not relevant to mythbuntu/mythtv usage, and it appears that is what ScottK says i'd probably need to do to get my name better out there12:15
keescookhmpf.12:15
keescookI think that's crap; you're touching all sorts of areas.  a motu doesn't need to be a jack-of-a-trades, imo.12:16

superm1well there has been no response12:16
