DavieyI do agree that we shoukd keep away from donations atm; but i don't think we should rule it out in the future01:12
superm1if you look at other similar projects, which ones actually have a donation system?01:14
superm1not a bounty system01:14

superm1since you had issues?02:19
superm1or did you just mis-install it?02:19

superm1feisty, hm.  i dont know how long archive admins take to ack SRUs02:56
superm1keescook might know better than i02:56
keescookshouldn't be much more than a few days, I think.02:56
keescookprobably be in -proposed by the end of monday02:56
superm1keescook, do you already have an edgy vm?02:58
keescooksuperm1: yup, I use one for testing security updates02:58
superm1let me dput the edgy sources somewhere then02:58
superm1and you can give those a spin02:58
superm1i haven't got the space on this laptop to setup another VM :)02:59
keescooksuperm1: cool, I'll get it running.  :)02:59
superm1keescook, i'm not gonna dput the .orig's, since my upstream bw is horrible.  they are the same ones used for the gutsy packages03:00

frank23what is the easiest way to get mythtv to work with schedulesdirect in ubuntu? I just signed up03:05
superm1frank23, new packages will be arriving this week on the feisty-proposed repository03:06
superm1they were submitted this weekend.  if you are on gutsy, the packages already support it03:06
superm1if your on edgy, they will be a little bit after the feisty packages arrive03:06
frank23ok. will they be in feisty-updates eventually too?03:06
superm1that's the plan03:06
frank23perfect03:06
superm1they need 7 days to clear -proposed03:07
frank23ok03:07
keescookFrom what I can tell, datadirect is still providing date past sept 1, so we'll have a few days of data overlap.03:07
keescooksuperm1: did you encounter any weird issues with channels, scheduling, or duplicates when you tested the switch-over?03:08
superm1Not at all03:08
superm1the only issue i had was something present with zap2it prior03:08
=== keescook nods
superm1my hidef channels weren't configured right since i dont get callsigns for some channels03:08
superm1you have to match the callsign and the channel number up perfectly03:09
superm1to get the data03:09
keescookweeee  Expires:  Sunday, December 02, 200703:13
superm1haha.  you think you'll get data that long?03:14
keescookno, no, that's the SD account.  :)03:14
superm1ah i still haven't paid for mine03:15
superm1on the trial period right now03:15
keescooksuperm1: ooh! you got motu? awesome!03:15
superm1keescook, hehe you didn't realize?? :)03:15
superm1how you think i uploaded the sru?03:15
keescookI didn't see it happen, but have been (obviously) hoping for it.  :)  congratz!03:16
tgm4883_laptopaparently keescook doesn't frequent the test mythbuntu site03:16
superm1thanks!  i somehow get the feeling i inherited more responsibility than i bargained for, but i like it :)03:16
keescookhehe03:16
dhrI have mythtv on an Edgy and on a Feisty.  I need to use SD.  Do I take it that a normal update will get me a sufficiently fresh version on Feisty in a week (after clearing -proposed)?  How about Edgy?03:16
keescookI saw the mythbuntu-control-centre_0.1-0ubuntu1_source.changes is NEW email03:16
keescookand saw: signature from "Mario Limonciello <superm1@ubuntu.com>"03:16
frank23wow. I was thinking of finally setting up automatic backups of the mythtv database but when I checked the ubuntu wiki I found out that this is automatically done. ;-)03:17
keescookdhr: that's the goal.  do you have an edgy myth box?  we could use someone testing with a "real" system.  :)03:17
superm1frank23, you still might want to setup a cron job to copy them somewhere else03:17
dhrAs I understand it, the database schema for myth have (has?) changed -- will the update work anyway?03:17
frank23superm1: that's right03:18
superm1dhr, yes, the update updates the scheme automatically03:18
keescookdhr: that's the expectation (but also the reason for needing some testing)03:18
superm1they are incremental updates03:18
dhrkeescook: I could test but the edgy box is not the master.  The master is even odder: Fedora Core 5, no longer supported.  So I have the work on that myself.03:19
keescookyikes03:19
=== superm1 still has a dapper backend he has to do packages for too :)
dhrOne problem is that current (open source) X server for ATI does not support TV out. The Gatos patch for TV out works with old X.03:20
superm1dhr, i thought heard that patch was being merged into X?03:20
superm1is that not the case?03:20
dhrMy understanding is that much of Gatos was merged but the TV out was too much of a hack.  In the last few weeks, the copyright on the TV out patch has been made suitable for merging but I don't think that the code has actually been improved or even updated to current X.03:21
dhrI think that there are no public specs for the TV out feature of the ATI card.03:22
superm1even the R200 cards?03:23
dhrYes.  My cards are 9200 family.03:23
superm1considering ATI scrapped support on them, i'm surprised that there are no docs on the tv out features03:23
dhrI've also had nVidia problems.  I started with a 5200.  The nVidia closed souce drivers dropped support.  The latest version had a bug that TV out chopped the bottom ~30% of the picture.03:25
superm1yikes.  really getting the short end of the stick multiple times then03:25
superm1foxbuntu, u here?03:44
dhrkeescook: I would be willing to test on edgy.  Nothing much to lose since the recorded programs are on a different machine.  Timing is unclear.  I might be able to test tonight, depending on luck installing the version I've built for the master (FC5).  Do you have a pointer to edgy .debs or test repo?  Would this cut me off from using the normal repos afterwards?03:47
superm1dhr, as soon as keescook acks that they work in his edgy vm, i'm going to push them to edgy-proposed03:48
superm1they should be available as soon as archive admins ack them03:48
troy_ssuperm1: Did you see the latest flip on the log?03:48
troy_ssuperm1: logo.03:48
superm1troy_s, no?03:48
troy_shrm...03:48
superm1i haven't read all of IRC scrollback though between you and foxbuntu03:49
superm1been focused mainly on these SRUs and a few other items03:49
dhrsuperm1: can I enable just myth stuff from -proposed or do I get everything?  I guess I have to use synaptic or apt-get to be selective.03:50
troy_ssuperm1: There isn't much IRC between myself and him.  Lol.03:50
superm1dhr, i dont anticipate much else is sitting in proposed, but by turning it on, you do get everything03:50
superm1you can be selective via apt-get or synaptic however03:50
dhrOK.  Glad to see progress on this is being made before the clock runs out!03:52
superm1it's going to be close for actually making it into edgy-updates and feisty-updates since it takes 7 days to clear -proposed, but anyone who needs to will be able to enable -propsed by the deadline03:54

tgm4883so I have 1 vote for heavy and 1 vote for simple?06:25
tgm4883we can probably mix and match06:25

superm1other than on that laptop06:30
foxbuntuoh, I bet I know what it was06:30
foxbuntuI had to change the perm's on the files and stupid me did the chmod 777 instead of chown06:30
foxbuntubecause I pulled it all down with a root key the first time and fixed that but hadn't reworked the files yet06:31
foxbuntuwhat's the perm level they should be at?06:32
superm1what they come down as06:33

troy_sfoxbuntu: Did you have a peek at the chromes?06:35
foxbuntutroy_s, yes, sorry I didn't get back to you yet06:35
foxbuntulet me pull them up again06:35
troy_sfoxbuntu: Tis' ok -- horrible weekend for time.06:35
troy_sfoxbuntu: Although learning how to do chrome in inkscape took me a little longer than I expected.06:36
troy_sfoxbuntu: So as it stands, if you are more or less happy with the chrome idea, we migrate to finding a palette06:36
troy_sfoxbuntu: and building outwards (I have _zero_ idea how to mix the chrome with a 60s pastiche palette, but again -- that is what the experimentation is for)06:36
foxbuntuyea, I think I like it06:36
foxbuntujust need to work out colors and lighting I think06:37
troy_sfoxbuntu: I showed it to superm1 and he said something that I already thought -- it was a tad wide.06:37
troy_sfoxbuntu: So that pretty much means I will need to finigle with the font and customize it further.06:37
foxbuntuyea06:37
troy_sfoxbuntu: The lighting for the chrome that seems best for me is the one in 'logo'06:37
foxbuntuprob have to narrow it up a bit06:37
troy_sfoxbuntu: The homogenous chrome is a little too cliched.06:37
foxbuntuI would agree06:38
troy_sanways, version 'logo' seems pretty solid... i'll show you a better res version... hold.06:38
troy_sfoxbuntu: The palette is the real cruncher.06:39
troy_sfoxbuntu: As more or less everything evolves from that element.06:39
troy_sfoxbuntu: That chroming turned out better than I expected -- I think it will work if we can somehow bridge that 'car' to the original pastiche idea.06:39
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, ygm06:41
tgm4883_laptopcan you load that into the pjirc dir and test to see if you can connect?  I want to make sure we have firewall permissiions and such to get out of the server06:42
foxbuntutroy_s, great, no concerns from me06:42
foxbuntutroy_s, I will give you whatever you need06:42
troy_sfoxbuntu: Ok ... so assuming I don't have a crap ass week like I did with this night shooting last week, I will hopefully get a little more done.06:42
troy_sfoxbuntu: I'll try to hammer out a few palettes and apply them to the television.06:42
foxbuntutroy_s, Thanks again!06:42
foxbuntutroy_s, that sounds good to me06:43
troy_sfoxbuntu: It also might be worth considering a sublogo with the chromed myth from that link I gave you with06:43
troy_sfoxbuntu: with two knobs below it -- channel and volume (as in olderskool television sets)06:43
troy_sfoxbuntu: and a pair of antenna stemming from the text.06:43
troy_ssomething simple that delivers the communication quickly and effectively.06:43
foxbuntutroy_s, that might be cool, see if you can get a rough sample so I can see what you are thinking06:44
troy_sfoxbuntu: Okie.  Out for now.  Crap ass next week starts too soon.06:44
foxbuntutroy_s, lol, catch you later06:44

superm1_so as to not overwrite anyone's changes by accident on the branch06:54
foxbuntuyea06:54
foxbuntusuperm1, the deal I have been offered from the decision makers at the ISP is that their DC is full right now, but I can put in some bigger HDD's into one of their VM servers and have a full access VM on it to use their bandwidth, which I found out is actually 145MB each way06:57
superm1_sounds sensible06:58
foxbunturight, I like the idea anyhow...just gotta dig up the money for the parts06:58
foxbuntusince 2 or 3 500GB Drives isn't exactly pennies06:59
superm1woah um foxbuntu this still doesn't look right07:00
foxbuntusuperm1, what doesn't?07:00
superm1load it in gnome07:00
superm1and take a look07:00
foxbuntuI did07:00

foxbuntuugh07:06
foxbuntuok07:06
superm1do you see what i mean though?07:06
foxbuntuyea07:07
foxbuntuI need to drop that blue color  back like 5 shades07:07
superm1its the same color as the buttons07:07
superm1which is also trouble07:07
foxbunturight07:08
foxbuntuwell there is an issue with the GTK theme all around that I am trying to work around until I can re-write the whole thing and make it less retarded07:08
superm1well currently this is a step in the wrong direction07:09
superm1tgm4883, now what you really should do i think is fit that java applet into a drupal node07:11
superm1drupal supports full out html, so you can probably fit the code to include the applet right on a node07:12
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, working on that07:12
tgm4883_laptopbut it's not working07:12
tgm4883_laptopfoxbuntu is looking at the code for me07:12
superm1in which case i'll probably move the client over to a different directory07:12
superm1so that you can still use mythbuntu.org/chat07:13
superm1to point to that node07:13
foxbuntusuperm1, I made it a super ugly shade of purple want that?07:30

lagahuh?02:54
cornell_workIsn't it Schedules Direct that's supposed to be a new listing service to replace Zap2It?03:17
lagayeah03:17
lagawhat do you want to know?03:17
cornell_workI was wondering if anybody knew anything, like when one can register.  I'd hit the site last week and it said registrations are closed.  And the site seems to be down since Sunday.03:18
lagaTMS is having problems, according to their website.03:19
cornell_workYeah, that's why the site's down at the moment.03:19
lagai guess they'll be back up soon *shrug*03:20

spinkhamAs far as I can tell, the CVS revision of the weekly build from mythbuntu is before the SD changes were added...04:14
=== foxbuntu [n=nick@75-167-96-45.desm.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
gandi see there's now 64-bit version of mythbuntu, is there any benefit of using this, there's not 64 bit version of mythtv is there?04:15
spinkhamgand:  I'm not sure, but I don't see them in the weekly builds, only a 32 bit edition...04:19
gandok thanks spinkham, i'm pretty sure there is only 32-bit version of mythtv, so if gonna use system mostly for watching tv, i don't see that 64-bit OS would make sense.  I've read that there can be problems when 64-bit system drops into 32-bit emulation mode04:24
rhpot1991I thought mythtv could be built as 64bit binaries04:52
rhpot1991just going off of words I have seen though, so take it with a grain of salt04:52
spinkhamYes, I believe it can.. Directions here: http://patrick.wagstrom.net/tutorials/mythTV64/mythTV64.xml05:01
spinkhamBut I haven't seen any premade packages for 64 bit yet...05:01
spinkhamComments on the mythtv list seem to indicate little to no benefit to 64 bit mode at the moment..  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/210421?search_string=64;#21042105:04
rhpot1991well the rest of your system would be running 64bit, so I would guess you would get some boost out of that05:21
cornell_workWell... if it's a 64 bit box, shouldn't it be a 64 bit OS?  And if it's a 64 bit OS, shouldn't one use 64 bit applications when possible?05:24
spinkhamNot necessarily.. 64 bit binaries are larger then 32 bit, so less code fits in the cache on the processor, often resulting in a net slowdown.05:26
gandi'm building a mythtv box at minute and have amd64 processor. would you recommend i put 64-bit version of mythbuntu on there, even though i'll mostly just be using system for mythtv?05:35
spinkhamI would search the mythtv archives at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ for "64 bit" to see what's current05:39
spinkhamSEemsDOn't run 64 bit myself on 64 bit hardware I have, because of some kernel drivers I need not working correctly..05:40
spinkhamDepends on your hardware, doesn't really make much difference either way unless you need to address more the 4 Gig of memory05:40
gandok thanks05:43

hendrixskihey, quick question06:14
hendrixskiif I installed mythtv, and messed up the install...06:14
hendrixskierr, the config... then to uninstall and re-install it do I _have_ to re-install everything?06:14
hendrixskithere seems to be a lot of residual stuff when I uninstall06:15
rhpot1991mythtv stores everything in a database06:22
rhpot1991you can just back that up if you don't want to lose it06:22
hendrixskiit's not a problem of loosing it06:23
rhpot1991http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.506:23
hendrixskiit's that I fill it up with the wrong crap06:23
rhpot1991well then you can just delete the database06:23
rhpot1991and your good to start from scratch06:23
rhpot1991dpkg --purge should get rid of everything, if your really woried about it06:24
hendrixskiright, but the configuration generates a new password and all06:24
rhpot1991I seem to recall it only generates a new mysql password if the account doesn't exist (I could be wrong though)06:25
hendrixskiright, we've tried apt-get uninstall --purge mythtv and it didn't help.... that calls dpkg --purge right?06:25
rhpot1991I have always uninstalled then purged it seperately06:25
rhpot1991I think "complete removal" in synaptec does the same too06:25
hendrixskithat's what I would have anticipated, but somehow didn't seem to work like that for us06:27
rhpot1991mysql db might be hanging around06:27
rhpot1991if your removing myth it probably left mysql hence the db still being there06:27
hendrixskihhmm, maybe it would help if I knew what it was doing under the hood.... I'll try it again and pay attention to mysqldb06:28
hendrixskiI should probably purge mysqldb as well, before re-installing?06:28
tgm4883_laptopwhat did you do wrong?06:29
hendrixskitgm4883_laptop, hell if I know... it just doesn't want to work if I try to re-install it after uninstalling it06:30
tgm4883_laptopright, but what info did you input wrong that makes you want to redo it06:30
hendrixskiprobably running mythtvfrontend without running mythtvsetup first06:30
tgm4883_laptopwell you can always run mythtv-setup06:31
hendrixskiI think that's what hozed it,, and then running mythtvsetup afterwards doesn't do anything because it's not granted the password like it usually is06:31
tgm4883_laptopthat doesn't require a reinstall06:31
hendrixskior something like that06:31
tgm4883_laptopare you running it as the mythtv user or the user you specified during install?06:31
tgm4883_laptopdid you follow any guides?06:32
hendrixskiI've installed it before without problems off of the guides, but this time was going off of memory06:33
hendrixskiso I did things out of order06:33
hendrixskithe problem is it's not forgiving when you do that... and I'm wondering if that isn't a bug we can't fix on the packaging end?06:34
tgm4883_laptopthe thing is, im not sure whatever the problem is that it isn't fixable06:35
hendrixskik06:35
tgm4883_laptopwhat is it doing?06:35
hendrixskiit won't access the database06:38
tgm4883_laptopany error messages?06:38
hendrixskiand when you run mythtvsetup it's normally supposed to show the generated password06:38
hendrixskibut this time it doens't06:38
hendrixskiumm... error messages  were like "couldn't connect to mysql databse"06:38
hendrixskithat sort of thing06:38
tgm4883_laptopwell thats an easy fix i believ06:38
=== hendrixski is all ears
tgm4883_laptoplaga do you remember the command?06:39
tgm4883_laptopi think it is06:39
tgm4883_laptopdpkg --reconfigure mythtv-database06:39
hendrixskisweet... I'll give that a try06:39
hendrixskithanks tgm4883_laptop :-)06:40
=== hendrixski has never used dpkg --reconfigure before but has heard of it... should probably read up on what it does

superm1keescook, any update on the edgy packages testing in your VM?06:51
keescooksuperm1: had some issues with my build (duh, requires newer mythtv) so I started it again today, I think it just finished06:52
superm1oh do you not have a pbuilder hook to use old built binaries?06:53
superm1or wait you use sbuild, don't ya :)06:53
keescookI use sbuild.  yeah.  but no problem, I just spawn a chroot and install everything.  I just forgot about it when I went to bed last night06:53
superm1ah06:53
keescookI'm also trying to figure out how to test the install once it's installed in edgy...06:54
superm1well perhaps test just the frontend (assuming your backend is schedules direct ready)?06:54
superm1that's what i did in my feisty VM, launched mythtv-setup and launched the frontend, made sure they could connect to my backend outside the vm06:55
keescooknot a bad idea.06:55
keescookI haven't upgraded the feisty mythtv yet06:55
superm1too bad proposed still hasn't cleared06:56
superm1at least i don't have a mail that it did yet06:56
superm1i dont know if i should be expecting one or what not06:56
keescookdid you catch seb128 or riddell online?06:56
superm1last night seb128 was online, but i didn't want to poke too soon06:57
superm1since i wasn't sure on an eta to expect to this06:57
=== keescook nods
keescookso, it's been forever... in edgy I'm flooded with database errors when I try to start mythtv-setup.  I'm already in the group, and the db has been built, so the mysql side must be working...06:59
superm1are you trying to connect to an outside backend?07:00
superm1or to the one in the vm?07:00
keescookthe one in the vm -- I want to make sure the upgrades and all work07:00
superm1right.07:01
superm1just in case you hit that weird bug that sometimes the db is corrupt on the first run, perhaps remove them, drop the sql table and do it once more?07:01
CBiLLanyone got UIRT USB?07:02
keescooksuperm1: odd, there are no tables.07:03
keescookand a dpkg-reconfigure -plow mythtv-database didn't fix it07:03
superm1hm...07:04
keescookah, mythbackend needed to start once07:10
keescookstill can't run mythtv-setup07:11
keescookhmpf, works as the mythtv user.  ;)07:12
superm1haha.07:12
superm1perhaps you had a ~/.mythtv directory07:12
superm1with a bad mysql.txt07:12

superm1keescook, see why i wanted to backport more of the packaging :)07:17
keescooksuperm1: yeah, I know; it's tempting, but best not to introduce further changes, even if they're almost certainly safe.07:17
superm1right07:18

superm1keescook, i'll look at maybe bringing it up to feisty packaging at least08:07
superm1since config.php isn't used still08:08
superm1everything else appearing OK?08:08
keescooksuperm1: well, I think fixing the postinst to avoid the problem is sufficient, the feisty packaging is pretty radically different isn't it?08:08
=== Tari [n=Tari@CPE-72-133-204-1.wi.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
superm1well i'll meld the two and see08:09
keescooksuperm1: yeah, near as I can tell, everything loads and runs after I fix that postinst with a || true  :)08:09
lagahendrixski: got your DB issues fixed?08:11
superm1keescook, it is indeed radically different.  the htaccess isn't prepared at all on edgy packages, and directories aren't made08:13
superm1nor symlinks08:13
keescooksuperm1: yeah, I'd just || true it and skip everything else.08:14
keescookthe configuration bits for the plugins can get a little odd; I know mythweb was still broken in feisty too (I had to manually move some things around when I upgraded), so I'm not very concerned with these things.08:15
keescookusers of these plugins will know how to deal with breakage.08:15
hendrixskilaga, we're still working on it.  thanks for checking up on us :-)08:15
lagahendrixski: good.08:15
superm1that feels like such a dirty hack to do here. okay i'll switch it over to add the || true08:15

superm1if that works out, i'll use that instead08:19
keescooksuperm1: that's the path of the target08:20

superm1keescook, the target should be /etc/mythtv/mythweb-settings.php08:21

seabagwe formatted (lowest common denom), re-installed mythtv and this time ran mythtv-setup first before mythfrontend08:23
hendrixskiso, is it a bug that we can allow users to run mythfrontend before mythfilldatabase is called?08:23
seabagrunning mythfrontend first was the problem08:23
tgm4883hendrixski, what if it's a frontend only?08:24
tgm4883then you don't call mythfilldatabase08:24
seabagi suggest we have a message appear when the user tries to run mythfrontend first, such as "please run mythtv-setup first, otherwise your system will be hosed. if this is a frontend only, then ignore this message"08:24
hendrixskitgm4883, is there a way of knowing that when the package is installed?  if so then it may save a lot of peopl ea lot of pain08:24
seabagyou still need to run mythtv setup even as a frontend only, right? to tell it what the backend's IP is?08:24
tgm4883hendrixski, you may be able to see if mythtv-setup has been ran, and if not then run it08:25
tgm4883superm1 would know more08:25
tgm4883as I just do what he tells me :)08:26
seabag:D08:26
superm1seabag, mythtv-setup already offers to run mythfilldatabaes08:26
superm1at the end of setup08:26
keescooksuperm1: are we supposed to subscribe a motu-sru team to the SRU bugs?08:26
tgm4883superm1, they are talking about how they were able to start the frontend without doing mythtv-setup08:26
seabagright, heh wish i had a whiteboard to draw up trees of possibilities08:26
superm1keescook, I didn't see anything about that on the SRU page08:26
seabagright08:26
hendrixskiah, so mythtv setup has to be run in both instances, just mythfilldatabase is called or not depending on the setup?08:26
keescooksuperm1: yeah, me neither08:27
tgm4883seabag you do08:27
tgm4883openoffice.org drawing is a good one i used once08:27
seabagoh no i meant on the fly here08:27
superm1keescook, but my gut feeling was thinking so too.08:27
tgm4883ah08:27
seabagso whether you have a front end or a fe/be, you still ought to run mythtv-setup first before mythfrontend, right?08:28
hendrixskiso... if mythtv setup has to be run anyway, can't we put a binary bit to check that it's been run before anyone runs mythtvfrontend?08:28
hendrixskiso... seabag and I may want to file a bug/feature-request about this... should it go on Ubuntu's Launchpad or Mythtv's Trac?08:30
seabagi'm guessing trac?08:30
hendrixskiyeah, because that's probably requires changes in the sourcecode...08:32
tgm4883probably trac, but you could always ask over in #mythtv-users08:32
hendrixskihowever08:32
hendrixskiif we file it on launchpad08:32
seabaghendrixski, fyi, http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/wiki/TicketHowTo08:32
hendrixskiwe can modify the package to automatically run mythtv-setup on install maybe?08:32
seabagalso hendrixski fyi http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bug_Tracking_System08:34
seabagbrb guys08:34
hendrixskiseabag, I know... but I was hoping that superm1 or tgm4883 may weigh in on the possibility of having that handled in a package for now until upstream decides that it actually wants people to use mythtv08:34
superm1hendrixski, the gutsy packages do prefill the database now08:35
superm1upon install08:35
superm1so mythtv-setup isn't "necessary"08:35
superm1but this doesn't happen off the mythbuntu install disk yet08:35
superm1only when the packages are installed08:35
hendrixskiSWEET08:35
hendrixskiso it is fixed for the next release, but not yet backported?08:36

=== tgm4883 salivates at the idea of his toaster running mythtv
keescooksuperm1: after that little fix, yeah, go for it.  (though these procedures are a bit vauge)08:39
keescooker, vague08:39
hendrixskilol... yes, a toaster with mythtv... kind of like the gas pumps with TV's on them, or the deep-fryers with RSS feeds08:40
tgm4883sweet08:40
superm1keescook, yea i know.  Well i pinged Riddell in -devel, i'll double check with the procedure with him, and see if he could ack these given the whole no data upcoming so soon08:40
tgm4883although he just left, you may want to talk with foxbuntu about that, as i think he is doing something along the same lines08:40
hendrixskiwell... I dunno that anyone made dee[-fryers with RSS... but I know Linus was absolutely shocked when in the 90's someone showed him a gas pump running LInux so that customers could watch CNN while filling up08:40
tgm4883yep, i think they have those in SoCal08:41
hendrixskiah cool, I'll def. have talk to him then08:41
hendrixskiwe've been at the idea phase for a long time now and think we finally have the business model, and now need to get the technical things... and neither of us have enough linux experience... so we'll be hiring :-)08:42
hendrixskibut talking to others doing similar things always means good opportunities for collaboration08:42
tgm4883what kind of appliance though?  strictly pvr or more?08:42
hendrixskitgm4883, making just another pvr isn't a successful business model08:43
tgm4883well, mythtv isn't just another PVR08:43
hendrixskilol, I know08:43
tgm4883so in terms of MythTV vs any other PVR, i would think that MythTV could be very successful08:44
hendrixskiand there are plugins that allow it to do RSS stuff, so it already is the next generation... but you have to build on top of that, and make a long-term model08:44
tgm4883also, remember that the more things you have it do, the more potential conflicts and things that can break occur08:44
hendrixskivery tru08:44
tgm4883whats your target market?08:45
hendrixskihhmm... I'm trying say as much as I can without giving away our edge...08:46
hendrixskithe target market would be...08:46
hendrixskipeople who aren't necessarily technically capable (which is the mistake that many appliances that use linux and others that use mythtv hvae made)08:46
tgm4883hmm, an edge would mean that your going into a market in which no one has gone before/doing something that they haven't done before08:47
tgm4883and since mythtv is part of it, im having trouble seeing this idea08:47
hendrixskitgm4883, :-) exactly08:47
tgm4883hmm08:47
hendrixskiwe'll create a service that nobody has created before08:48
tgm4883what country do you live in?08:49
hendrixskiI'm in the USA.... but we're looking at European markets too08:49
tgm4883hmm08:49
tgm4883I'm having trouble seeing your service, as everything im thinking of has either been done/attempted or is illegal08:50
tgm4883pm more info?08:51
hendrixskisure08:51
tgm4883ygpm08:52
hendrixskitgm4883, are my responses to the PM coming through?08:55
tgm4883nope08:56
hendrixski:-(08:56
tgm4883are you registered?08:56
hendrixskioh right08:56
hendrixskisuperm1,   hhmm... so if it's in gutsy, but not backported to feisty.... will that be backported to dapper LTS?09:02
superm1hendrixski, give me a few minutes. i'll respond in a bit09:02
hendrixskik09:03
hendrixskisuperm1, I'm just wondering at this point... no hurry... and if it's not at current, I may try to find time and offer to backport it myself. :-)09:04
DavieyIs it really worth the effort?09:04
tgm4883yea, why not update to gutsy?09:04
tgm4883although it should be in dapper09:05
tgm4883my opinion, not any fact ^09:05
DavieyYou are welcome to do it; but i can't see there is a demand09:06
rhpot1991tgm4883: how is your name showing up in the side of the mythbuntu page?09:06
DavieyPlus it makes support potentially more difficult09:06
tgm4883rhpot1991, im logged in09:06
rhpot1991logged in where, I don't see any register page or anything09:06
=== rhpot1991 might be blind
tgm4883rhpot1991, there isn't one, it's just for updating the site and such09:06
rhpot1991ah ok09:07
rhpot1991is there any reason for me to isntall mythbuntu when I already have a working ubuntu setup running the weekly builds?09:07
tgm4883IMO< probably not09:08
rhpot1991from the screenshots I gather that all that would give me would be a gui for setup09:08
tgm4883the .20.2 package should be backported to dapper, only because of the changes with SD09:08
Davieytgm4883: good point09:08
DavieyBut seriously.. how many people still use dapper+mythtv?09:09
rhpot1991the .20.2 will hit the weekly builds right?09:09
Davieyespecially as gutsy+1 will be lts09:09
tgm4883Daviey, I don't see why not, I would use dapper+mythtv if I was around back then.  Why upgrade the whole system if it isn't broke?09:09
tgm4883just upgrade every LTS09:09
=== hendrixski wasn't talking about ackporting .20.2... was talking about backporting the functionality that it calls mythtv-setup automatically
tgm4883hendrixski, why use dapper on a new install?09:10
rhpot1991seems like a waste of time, does it tell you to do that when you install?09:10
hendrixskiDaviey, do we know for a fact gutsy+1 is?  'cause I remember hearing during open-week that it may just be gutsy +209:10
tgm4883yep, gutsy+1 will be LTS09:10
Davieytgm4883: yeah.. i see your point.. but personallly i cba as i see little demand.. Maybe a poll? :D09:11
tgm4883every 3 - 4 releases are LTS, gutsy +1 will be #409:11
hendrixskibecause people who don't want to have to face the horrors of updating every 6 months09:11
Davieyhendrixski: i don't know for fact no... that was last i heard09:11
tgm4883hendrixski, feisty has support longer than dapper09:11
DavieyO RLY09:12
Davieyhttp://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download09:12
hendrixski??? doesn't dapper have support for like another 2 or 3 years?09:12
Davieyhendrixski: check the link09:13
tgm4883whoops, my bad, brain freeze09:14
tgm4883it's not 6 months though, its 1809:15
tgm4883so feisty will get you into Gutsy +109:15
hendrixskiso yeah, 'tilll 2009, meaning 2 years09:19
hendrixskiso backporting it to dapper means it would be around for longer than the support time of feisty09:19
tgm4883yea, feisty will get you into the next LTS, Gutsy will get you into 2009.  If your using LTS, wouldn't you upgrade at the next LTS?09:20
superm1okay i'm back.  keescook did you see in -devel what Riddell said?  I'm hoping that the TB does approve this.  I'm not sure what other convincing will still be necessary after my last mail to them09:20
=== tgm4883 agrees with Daviey, demand is probably very low for this
tgm4883expecially combined with the advances in hardware detection in gutsy09:21
tgm4883and feisty09:21
hendrixskicool, the hardware detection includes tuners, right?09:23
tgm4883yep09:23
tgm4883wait09:23
tgm4883just to be clear, im talking about ubuntu detecting the hardware, not mythtv09:23
hendrixskioh, k09:24
tgm4883hopefully, mythbuntu can auto detect hardware for mythtv in 7.10 + 109:24
hendrixskigood deal09:25
hendrixskinow, mythbuntu will come out the same time as gutsy, right?09:25
hendrixskior will there be a delay?09:25
superm1depends on the release date of 0.2109:25
superm1if it is going to be far off, then it will come out same time as gutsy09:26
superm1if it is a month or so different09:26
hendrixskiah, so mythbuntu will be tied to the mythtv release cycle, and not canonical?09:26
superm1then we'll go right after 0.2109:26
superm1well its still tied more to canonical09:26
superm1but mythtv 0.21 is big enough that i would say its worth of the delay09:26
hendrixskifrom what I've heard, that sounds like that's the case09:27
hendrixskilots of new features, etc. etc.09:27
hendrixskisome serious branches that are still waiting to get merged.09:27

henkpoleyHi, i've migrated from an old Gentoo installation to a new Ubuntu based setup, but now mythfilldatabase isn't automatically run by the backend10:45
henkpoleyAlso running mythfilldatabase from cron doesn't seem to do anything10:46
superm1henkpoley, You need to set it up in a frontend10:46
superm1there is no cron job for it anymore10:46
henkpoleyanother one ?10:46
superm1because Zap2It didn't want it ran from cron10:46
henkpoleyIt runs a local frontend10:46
henkpoleyI'm not in the US10:46
henkpoleyI use grab_tv_nl an XMLTV grabber10:47
superm1well mythfilldatabase was removed from cron because of US users :)10:47
superm1in the frontend setup section10:47
superm1there is an area to setup to schedule regularly to fill the database10:47
superm1if you don't want to do it from there, then add a cron job for the mythtv user and you'll be fine10:47
henkpoleyAh, I had entered a /usr/bin/myth.. with crontab -e myself10:47

henkpoleyI *have* set it up to run10:48
superm1its better to do from the fe though10:48
henkpoleyIt just doesn't run10:48
superm1can you already run it as your normal user?10:48
superm1have you tried?10:48
seabaghey laga if you're around i've got something interesting for you and superm110:48
henkpoleyyup, I run it from SSH and from a terminal under X10:48
superm1well there is no reason it *shouldn't* work from cron then :)10:49
superm1did you get a dead.letter explaining why it didn't?10:49
henkpoleyI'd like the backend to run it btw10:49
superm1yea then just configure it in the FE, and that schedules it to do in the BE10:49
henkpoleyI know, I did that, it doesn't run..10:49
henkpoleyIs there anywhere besides the dev-ML where I could ask?10:50
henkpoleysomeone with XMLTV experience here10:50
superm1well have you checked the backend log?10:50
superm1to see if it tried to launch10:51
superm1but just didn't work10:51
superm1or something to that effect?10:51
superm1and do you need to have something like a .xmltv directory for that xmltv grabber to work normally?10:51
superm1if so, then you will want to add such directory to the mythtv user10:51
henkpoleyI read that there was some change in the -fixes branches that it requires some file to exist "for the grabber" (even though my grabber doesn't need, nor generate, that file)10:51
superm1hm didn't hear of that myself.10:52
henkpoleyyes I have a .xmltv directory10:52
henkpoleywell something with a bug report of a guy with multiple frequency setups10:52
henkpoleyso they now have different -forced- config files for all the different grabbers10:52
henkpoleymultiple different cable connections I mean10:53
henkpoleyso they each have differenct channels, that need different grabbers10:53
superm1well i can't say i can comment much there myself - as i'm US bound10:53
henkpoleyI just don't know what the file should be named10:53
henkpoleytried about 4 names10:54
superm1you can ask some of the overseas guys perhaps: laga Daviey jono10:54
=== Daviey ears are burning
henkpoleylike '.xmltv/tv_grab_nl' etc.10:54
Davieywhat have i voluntered to do?10:54
henkpoleyhehe10:54
henkpoleyCurrently I have a .xmltv/tv_grab_nl.conf10:56
henkpoleybtw, the backend logs show no errors with mythfilldatabase10:57
henkpoleythe mythfilldatabase log stays empty10:57
Davieyhenkpoley: how are you calling it?11:00
henkpoleyLike the backend does (?)11:01
henkpoleyOr from the commandline like: $ mythfilldatabase11:01
Davieyah.. i manually cron mythfilldatavase11:01
henkpoleyMy old setup did everything by itself, which meant it ran when the system was online11:02
henkpoley...and not when it was shutdown11:02
henkpoley(tried to run when it was shutdown)11:02
Davieyif you manually call the mythfilldatabase does it work?11:02
henkpoleyIf I call it from the commandline it works, yes11:03
henkpoleyBut it gets kind of long in the tooth to do that every 4 days..11:04
Davieythen add it as a cron job?11:05
Davieythen it will do it automatically.. that's how i do it11:05
henkpoleyDoesn't cron try to run it at a set time, and when it couldn't that, it doesn't run at all11:06
Davieyanacron ftw11:07
DavieyIf it misses it, will do it on reboot11:08
Daviey*boot11:08
henkpoleyIs the 'cron' package on Ubuntu just a dummy package, or do I need to figure out if regular cron takes preference over anacron (which is also already installed on my system)11:09
Davieyno11:13
Davieybut AIUI anacron providers the /etc/cron.daily etc... Just drop a shell script in there and it will do it daily11:13
Davieynormally 6:00am - or when the server is on11:14
Davieyin /etc/cron.daily i have:11:16
henkpoleyCan I just run mythfilldatabase, or does it need QT libs specified or something?11:16
Daviey#!/bin.sh11:16
Davieysu mythtv -c "mythfilldatabase --quiet"11:16
Daviey(which basically makes it run as user mythtv, rather than root)11:17
Davieyerm.. shouldn't do11:17
Daviey < Daviey> #!/bin.sh  *should* be: #!/bin/sh (obv)11:18
henkpoleyOkay, will try that11:18
Davieyremember to `chmod + x thescript.sh`11:19
henkpoleyalready doing that :-)11:19
henkpoleyIs there any setting for cron so it can mail me, or does it end up in some logfile?11:22
henkpoleythere is no /var/log/cron11:22
DavieyI think you can just add an echo "myth's listings done" and it will email that to root@localhost11:23
henkpoleywhich means you need exim4 or something running..11:24
Davieynot for simple mail11:24
henkpoleyoh, then how do you open that mail?11:24
Daviey`sudo mail`11:25
henkpoley'mail' from 'mailx' or 'mailutils' package?11:26
Davieyhmm11:26
Davieyprob mailutils11:26
henkpoleymailutils is a IMAP file editor afaik11:27
Davieyi don't know tbh11:27
henkpoleyI've used that on a shared server account before11:27
Davieyprobably provides the same binary11:27
Davieyah11:28
Davieyuse mailx11:28
Davieymailx = "A simple mail user agent"11:28
henkpoleyyeah, seems to be a 'mail reader' according to apt11:28
henkpoleypulls in postfix? hmkay..11:29
henkpoleyLet's hope it works that way :-P11:29
Davieyaptitude or apt?11:29
henkpoleyapt-get11:29
Davieyhmm11:29
henkpoley"No mail for root"11:30
Davieyaint ran yet.11:31
Daviey cat /var/mail/$USER will do the same11:31
henkpoley'anacron -f' doesn't do anything11:31
henkpoleyshould force the tasks to run11:31
=== Daviey shrugs
henkpoleyWill check tomorrow11:32
Davieycoool.. lemme know11:33
henkpoleyThanks for the help :-)11:33
