tgm4883_laptopso it's running or not?02:28
tgm4883_laptopwhat does the log say?02:28
cornellIt's running, according to egrep, and the terminal that started it.  Where's it's log?02:29

cornellUm... log ... last thing it says is New DB connection (1), connected to data base 'mythconverg' at host local host, running as the master server.  Then two other New DB connection's connected to database 'mythconverg' at host localhost.02:33
cornellbefore that Some comments about liveTV recording, when I was switching about.  You'd suggested changing channels02:34
cornellJust for g&g, I started mythtv-setup.  Window came up asking if it's ok to close the backend process.02:36

tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, you want to take a  look at this?02:43
superm1umm.02:44
tgm4883_laptopif your busy thats cool02:44
superm1never seen such things prior02:44
superm1i'm at a loss for an answer here02:44
tgm4883_laptoplolthats what I said02:45
cornellI'm special that way...  My problems aren't normal ;-(02:52
superm1cornell, what tuner?02:52
cornellI'm guessing that would be the ASUS.02:52
tgm4883_laptopand a 35002:53
cornellAnd I'm wondering if the 1730 entries are from when I tried switching the cards, some one had said the Y or C cards.02:53
cornellYes, I've a 350.  Last evening, myth switched from the hauppauge to the ASUS.02:54
superm1so which one is /dev/video0 theren?02:54
superm1then02:54
cornellDon't know why.  It was right after I installed the lircrc.02:54
superm1and perhaps didt they accidently flip02:54
cornellI'm thinking that video0 is 350...  lspci doesn't say.  How else can I confirm02:55
cornelllspci --> http://cornell.pastebin.com/m1abc104c02:56
cornellCan't start mythtv-setup...  Won't run with backend running.  Won't kill the backend, there isn't one running.02:57
cornell;-(02:57
cornellRebooting02:58
superm1well dmesg shows you likely02:59
superm1which is which02:59
cornellk02:59
cornellfrom dmesg:Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350, card #003:01
cornellIs that what we want?03:01
cornellps aux shows two backend entries, one the egrep and one /usr/bin/mythbackend belonging to mythtv.  So backend is running03:04
cornellmmmm03:05
cornell?????03:05
cornellmythtv-setup started... looking at capture cards... /dev/video2 is card type MPEG-2encoder card (PVR-x50, etc...  Probed info: ASUS PVR-41603:06
cornellThat don't sound right03:06
cornellvideo0 is card type Analog V4L capture card... probed info Hauppauge WinTV PVR-35003:08
cornellShouldn't the card type match the probed info?03:09
superm1well i'm wondering if you are hitting the annoyance03:09
superm1of them switching back and forth03:09
superm1experiment by rebooting 2 or 3 more times03:10
superm1and see if they show up the same03:10
cornellWell but... um...  ok.03:10
cornellNow, backing out, it says, twice, card 0 (type ) is set to start on channel 2, which does not exist.  Do you want to fix these problems.03:11
cornellYes or no?   Just hit no and go ahead and reboot?03:11
superm1well don't mind those problems.  if the cards are set wrong03:11
cornellK03:11
superm1because your just going to reboot and come back in to look again03:11
cornellWant to see the dmesg?03:13
cornellOk.... now  video0 card type Analog V4L capture card, probed ASUS, video 2 card type MPEG-2 (PVR-x50, probed.... ASUS03:15
cornellAnd, from dmesg: Initialized Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350, card #003:16
superm1okay so same as last time around03:17
cornellRebooting03:17
cornellBTW, I went into mysql manually before, seeing it the users got screwed up.  select * from user.  There's an entry, forget the user, but the domain is some domain I've never heard of.  That doesn't seem right.03:19
superm1debian-sys-main?03:19
superm1debian-sys-maint03:20
cornellNo...  I saw that one, figured it was ok03:20
superm1Yea it is03:20
cornellpgasus.imbrandon.com03:21
cornellAnd it's root !03:21
superm1as a user?03:21
cornellIn the user table03:21
superm1that was from the build host03:22
superm1i have no idea how thta would have gotten in though?03:22
cornellLooks like the password's mine, so they can't get in with it.03:22
cornellvideo0 is Analog V4L, Hauppauge, video2 is MPEG PVR x50, ASUS03:23
cornellSHould I just delete these and create them again?03:23
superm1well just set the type of them appropriately03:23
superm1dont need to delete them03:23
cornellOk... recollection says that the ASUS is an Analog V4L SO I'll set that03:24
cornellvideo device video2, Audio device /dev/dsp03:25
cornellAudio sampling None (?)03:25
cornellDefault input Tuner103:25
cornellVBI device empty03:25
cornellSound right?03:25
superm1just make sure it matches the autoprobe03:25
jamssuperm1-  good work with the lirc-generator  it's an easy way to get started with new remotes03:25
superm1jams, you gave it a shot?03:26
jamsa quick one, but yeah i did look at it03:26
cornellAudio sampling rate of none?03:26
superm1jams, yea that's the goal for it.  its not meant to be a permanent solution for the problem currently, but until the standardized namespace is done03:27
superm1it will do the trick03:27
jamsi see you even added the options i was goint to suggest =)03:27
superm1to turn on and off different apps?03:27
jams -l and -L03:27
superm1ah03:27
cornellOk, changed.  Try watching TV?03:27
superm1yup cornell03:28
superm1hopefully better this time round03:28
jamsi almost overwrote my own configs03:28
superm1well that's why it renames the old ones03:28
cornellSame messages about card 0 (type ) si set to start on Channel 203:28
superm1go back in and make sure channel 2 exists then03:28
jamsit's good work03:29
jamsalso glad it's in python =)03:29
superm1yea, i've started to really like python03:29
jamsfar to many apps are tainted by perl03:29
superm1since thats all i've coded this summer in03:29
cornellCOuld not connect to the master backed server03:29
superm1that's what the control centre and the live autostart are too03:29
cornell:-(03:29
superm1cornell, check and see if it started in the backend log again03:29
superm1and if not why03:29
jamslive autostart?03:30
superm1jams, its an app for configuring a mythbuntu frontend to run off a cd, but its able to save settings to a flash drive03:30
superm1so your "live frontend" can start immediately03:30
jamsah03:30
superm1if you plug the flash drive in03:30
cornellLooks like, superm1, Three DB connections, first one says starting up as the master server.03:31
superm1cornell, then try the fe again03:31
cornellk03:31
cornellOk... terminal says trying to connect to backend server: 192.168.1.27, timed out. ummm it's timing out in .001 second.  Isn't that kind of quick?03:33
superm1did your ip change?03:33
cornellMe...nope  Same Ip.  (already did an ifconfig.  mmm I was going to say ipcop agrees, but I can't connect to it :-(03:35
superm1well nmap your ip the (192.168.1.27)03:36
superm1and make sure the backend is listening on it03:36
cornellAh... nonstandard port...03:36
cornellnmap my ip?03:37
superm1you changed the port?03:37
superm1apt-get install nmap03:37
superm1and then nmap IP03:37
superm1shows ports open03:38
cornellNo... ipcop... the web console, doesn't use 80.  ipcop says mythtv's on 27 also.03:38
cornellIt also seems I've some uninvited guests.03:38
cornellBut ipcop config's anotherquestion.03:38
superm1try restarting the frontend process?03:39
superm1perhaps03:39
cornellok...nmap 192.168.1.27... Not shown 1695 closed ports.. ssh open http open.  That's it03:39
superm1so no mythtv on it03:40
superm1did you change the port number03:40
superm1or did you change its listening behavior03:40
cornellDid not change any mythtv ports03:40
superm1double check them03:40
cornellActually\, haven't changed any ports03:40
superm1in the general page03:40
superm1because if nmap is saying its not listening03:40
superm1but the backend log shows it running03:40
superm1that is the most logical place to look03:40
cornellHappen to be in mythtv-setup... host address backend setup, ip addresses are right, explicit, server runs on port 6543, shows status on 6544, port master runs on 654303:42

DaveMorrisopenbox then, you know what the size difference is?04:43
lagaDaveMorris: use apt-cache show to find out04:44

tgm4883i think it's the mouse pointer04:50

tgm4883i think i prefer the alternate cd05:32
cornell_2Well, I kinda used the livecd, got screwed up, probably because I interrupted in the middle ;-)  And there's a nice wiki page going step wise through the alternate CD.05:33
tgm4883well if your going to use the guide, use the cd that comes with it.  I prefer the alternate cd just because I don't need the live env during install05:34
