MythbuntuGuest30so i did a reinstall since i had such good success with the base installer and got everything running02:38
MythbuntuGuest30then i tried to use restricted-manager to enable my nvidia drivers02:39
MythbuntuGuest30it cant get the file, so i went to the website it pointed to and sure enough the file didnt exist02:39
MythbuntuGuest30is there a way to update what restricted-manager should be looking for?02:39
MythbuntuGuest30or is that just an apt-get install update?02:39
MythbuntuGuest30and then hope i can get my remote working easily02:39
DavieyMythbuntuGuest30: Ah.. that sounds like a bug that will effect all gutsy users02:40
Davieynot just mythbuntu, but ubuntu aswell02:41
DavieyBeing that it effects so many people, an update should be out soon02:41
Davieyie sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade02:42
MythbuntuGuest30so running those three commands should allow me to get the latest nvidia drivers?02:44
MythbuntuGuest30and then ill have the follow the above instructions to *hopefully* get my remote to work again02:45
DavieyMythbuntuGuest30: I'm not promising regarding the driver02:47
Davieybut i suspect that's what it is02:47
Davieyfailing that, see if this helps02:48
Davieyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia02:48
MythbuntuGuest30why would they delete the old deb and add a new one so quickly?02:48
MythbuntuGuest30is that common?02:48
Davieyhmm02:51
DavieyI'm not too familar with restricted-drivers and nvidia tbh02:52
DavieyGutsy is unstable atm, and Mythuntu ISO is based from a snapshot of Gutsy02:52
MythbuntuGuest30oh good point, forgot mythbuntu was based on gutsy02:57

NineTeen67CometHi all .. Finally snagged Alpha4 and it is running (with a little dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to get it to show up on TV.03:02
NineTeen67CometBut now, I try to double click the install icon and it just changes color with each click, and goes back .. Is there a script I can fire up via cli that will install?03:03
bendaileyDaviey, hello03:03
NineTeen67CometI tried herd 5 of gutsy and it has the same xorg issues.. Totally dies when I try to get nvidia going .. glx or glx-new ..03:03
=== NineTeen67Comet I hope Edgy isn't the best Ubuntu has to date, I really liked the potential of Feisty, and the growth of Gutsy ...
NineTeen67CometDaviey: Is there a cli install for MythBuntu? .. My icon on the desktop is inop ..03:07
DavieyNineTeen67Comet: no.. we are working on it tho03:08
NineTeen67CometHummmm .. Okay .. No problem .. Like a Alternate install cd ala MythBuntu?03:08
DavieyNineTeen67Comet: You can install Ubuntu alternate; then add the mythbuntu packages tho03:09
Daviey<--- bed, nn03:09
NineTeen67CometOh, that's an idea .. Gutsy has issues with my box (I've only got a tv hooked to it) .. Feisty ran "well" .. could I do that? Toss Feisty back on, then use the mythbuntu packages?03:10
NineTeen67CometG'night03:10
DavieyNineTeen67Comet: before i go... the new Mythtv packages have been built for feisty03:12
Davieynn03:13
NineTeen67Cometokay thank you for the heads up .. I'll toss feisty on there, upgrade to gutsy (try to get around the xorg issue) and go from there.. g'night03:13

MythbuntuGuest30my remote is an hauppauge card, does this mean i should have /dev/lirc0 ?04:46
MythbuntuGuest30dmesg | grep lirc has 1 line that says the device loaded and the next complains about unregister plugin04:47

tgm4883yep08:55

tgm4883agreed08:55

defendguinadmittedly it was very very nice of them to give it away in the first place08:57
tgm4883AFAIK, it wasn't mythtv users.  It was other "services" that were reselling the data08:58
defendguinwhat a bummer08:58
defendguinits too bad a company like fluendo can't pick up the slack08:59
defendguinif they are going to turn Elisa into a tv viewing media center they are going to have to do something similar08:59

defendguin:-D10:27
defendguini hope that worked10:30
defendguinon the back end status of mythweb it still says my data direct subscription will expire on 10/05/2007 though  i guess that will get fixed later10:31
defendguinha ha changing the system time doesn't work well for mythtv while its playing a tv program10:42
superm1i've returned10:44
superm1looks like some people were looking for me above?10:44
superm1Tommck?10:44
defendguini don't suppose there is an option for mythtv just to remind you to watch something.  like if you are watching tv i need to remind you that you wanted to watch this?10:50

Davieydefendguin: bah.. who uses livetv!?11:06
defendguinDaviey: i almost exclusively watch live tv  i guess i'm home too much11:07
superm1Daviey, !11:13
superm1you got the mirror resolved11:13
superm1vg :)11:13
Daviey:)11:13
Davieybendailey's is ready, he just needs to sort out his vhosts11:13
superm1Daviey, we need some idears of how to properly detect graphics cards and choose the driver to get installed11:13
Davieyhow does ENVY do it?11:14
Davieyinfact.. would it be worth bundling envy?11:14
superm1ugh no11:14
superm1i'm not letting envy into mythbuntu11:14
DavieyWhat does restricted-manager do?11:14
superm1what does ubotu have to say about envy11:14
superm1!envy11:14
ubotuenvy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!11:14
superm1restricted-manager is what is currently used11:15
=== Daviey has never used envy ;)
superm1it does restricted-manager --detect or --list or somethign to that effect11:15
superm1i was almost thinking it would make sense to just leave an option "attempt automatic detection"11:15
superm1or just give a list of drivers11:15
superm1and if restricted-manager can figure it out, wonderful11:15
superm1if not then you can just choose your driver11:15
Daviey--check-composite Check if there is a graphics driver available that supports composite and offer to enable it11:16
Davieynot really what we want11:16
superm1restricted-manager -l11:16
superm1is what is currently used11:16
DavieyList available restricted modules11:16
DavieyHmm.. is that really what we want?11:16
superm1the problem i think is that it breaks when you have more than one module available11:16
superm1hence the bug that was filed earlier today11:16
Davieyokay.. lspci | grep VGA ... then load the relevant module11:17
superm1well cant do that11:17
superm1because nvidia-glx-new11:17
superm1nvidia-glx11:17
superm1nvidia-glx-legacy11:18
=== Daviey isn't familair with nvidia stuff
superm1at the moment, its just ignoring which should be used and saying, use nvidia11:18
superm1to hell with the rest11:18
DavieyIs there a graphics card to driver compability list?11:19
superm1that would make life useful wouldn't it11:19
Davieyyou'd think it had been done11:20
defendguinshould th default behavior of mythbuntu not upgrade the kernel?   just in case you had to build your own module for a IR receiver?11:21
superm1defendguin, if you need your own module, please let me know, and we'll get it in the kernel11:21
defendguini did in feisty11:21
superm1in gutsy all lirc modules should be shipped11:22
Davieydefendguin: for lirc?11:22
defendguinyeah11:22
superm1oh interesting Daviey. see /usr/share/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.22-10-generic/modules.alias.override11:22
Davieywoooooooooo11:23
Davieyproblem solved11:23
superm1looks like that might be how restricted manager figures $things out11:23
superm1well i don't know11:23
Davieyy?11:23
superm1i'd almost prefer to write a new class inheriting from restricted manager11:23
superm1because it has some intelligence in how it parses that already11:24
Davieyintelligence?11:24
Davieyerm.. 6 lines of bash!11:24
superm1um try 1000 lines of python11:24
superm1and still that doesn't cover cases of stuff like openchrome11:25
superm1which can't be detected for sure11:25
Davieyi think DaveMorris wanted to work on openchrome11:26
superm1how so?11:26
superm1its in gutsy11:26
Davieyoh11:26

superm1hehe11:28
superm1i don't know, this whole mess of video drivers just leaves a fairly stale feeling with me11:29
superm1and i dont know what a proper solution should be11:31
DavieyWell it's something to basic, should have been totally sorted pre-edgy imo11:31
superm1i have always wondered why its not an option normally during install11:31
superm1especially with compiz fusion by default on gutsy11:31
DavieyWe also need to use the FOSS drivers, unless the grpahics card needs the non-free ones11:31
superm1well no card "need" the non-free11:32
superm1just runs much better with it11:32
Davieyyeah.. framebuffer rocks :D11:32
=== sslashes [i=sslashes@209.67.252.122] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
sslashesi am having a problem with my remote in mythtv - when i press a button - it is registered four times in mythtv - but it is not an lirc problem, as running irw shows only one event11:35
sslashesany ideas?11:35
Davieylirc REPEAR option?11:36
DavieyREPEAT*11:36
sslashesDaviey: does nothing11:36
sslashesi can sert it to 1000 and it still moves four steps in mythtv11:36
sslashessert = set11:36
sslashesand as i said, irw only shows one event, even when mythtv registers four11:37
sslashesit is very weird11:37
sslashesi found one person in #mythtv-users who had the same problems , but no resolution11:38
Davieysslashes: Never experienced it, so i can't really help11:38
Davieymight be worth trying the mythtv-users mailing list11:38
defendguinre-install11:38
sslashesdefendguin: ?11:39
sslashesis there a basis to that, or a hope?11:39
superm1sslashes, this will sound odd, but is it listed 4 times?11:39
superm1in your ~/.mythtv/lircrc11:39
sslasheshmm - let me check11:39
superm1or is it listed as irxevent in ~/.lircrc and then also listed in ~/.mythtv/lircrc?11:39
sslashesit IS in both .lircrc and mythtv/lircrc11:41
superm1is it listed under the app mythtv?11:42
superm1or a different app?11:42
=== needinfo [n=chatzill@208-72-109-127.clients.ori.net] has left #ubuntu-mythtv []
sslashesit is listed under mythtv in both files11:43
superm1that shouldnt be a big deal then11:43
superm1i would add a REPEAT option to each one11:44
superm1to improve it11:44
superm1i've gotta run though.  good luck :)11:44

defendguini think i've got an issue i searched through the tv listings on my myth box and it says a show is going to be on at 830 and i know for a fact that it will be on at 7:30   what do i do if i think all my listings are on eastern time when i am in central time?12:25
defendguinwas that in myth setup somewhere?12:25
defendguinup until a few hours ago i had my system time synced with eastern time because i made a mistake i recently changed it to central time if i ran mythfilldatabase would it correct itself?12:28

frank__Daviey: If you have a network connection in the first place...12:48
Davieydefendguin: yes; but i'm not happy to recommend the line you need, incase i get the syntax wrong - ask in #mythtv-users12:49
