[03:38] <tgm4883_laptop> laga, I have done a little testing, I will have to continue tomarrow though.  I do have a list of a few things I noticed though
[04:24] <MythbuntuGuest15> hi
[04:25] <MythbuntuGuest15> does anyone know how to setup lirc
[04:25] <MythbuntuGuest15> hello
[04:29] <Tari_> if you install from CD, it should do it automagically
[04:33] <MythbuntuGuest15> i dont have any cd
[04:34] <MythbuntuGuest15> this is not mythubuntu
[04:34] <MythbuntuGuest15> just an mythtv in ubuntu 7.04
[04:38] <Tari_> ah, ok
[04:40] <Tari_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Gutsy
[04:40] <Tari_> just follow those directions, and it should work
[04:44] <MythbuntuGuest15> is that for skystar2 remote
[04:44] <MythbuntuGuest15> thanks

[08:02] <kieran491> Hi
[08:02] <kieran491> just wondering how do you get "Channel Scanner" to work mine is currently greyed out
[09:50] <laga> kieran491: what capture card?
[09:52] <grndslm> can anyone help me figure out why mythbackend won't automatically start up anymore??  /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart is not giving any useful output, but mythbackend -v all starts it up A-OK...
[09:53] <laga> grndslm: make sure it's still listed in the runlevels
[09:53] <laga> ls -al /etc/rc2.d/*myth*
[09:53] <laga> or does it not work when you
[09:54] <laga> err, not work at all when you /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart
[09:56] <grndslm> laga: as far as i can tell, after start up I must run mythbackend -v all or else it doesn't start
[09:56] <grndslm> and it looks like all the runlevels are there
[09:57] <grndslm> any other ideas?
[10:29] <mactenchi> have you checked the log file?
[10:36] <laga> yeah, check the log file
[10:54] <juliux> hi all
[10:59] <juliux> can i use my channles.conf from xine also for mythtv?
[11:37] <juliux> yeah i get a sementation fault from mythtvbackend
[11:42] <cann> anyone that can type  in chan please? new shell and irssi, hust need to check if it displays ok =)
[11:42] <cann> just*
[11:46] <juliux> 
[11:46] <cann> nice =) thx
[01:15] <laga> morning
[04:00] <superm1> morning guys
[04:01] <superm1> tgm4883, any news on firewire?
[04:01] <tgm4883> a little, I have to retest today
[04:01] <superm1> well what happened yesterday?
[04:01] <tgm4883> but I have some ideas for some additions I think we need
[04:02] <tgm4883> can we add libraw1394-dev and libiec61883-dev to the install?
[04:02] <superm1> for what purpose?
[04:02] <superm1> what are they needed for?
[04:03] <tgm4883> to run plugreport to see which node the stb is on.  I think they combine for less than 100k
[04:03] <laga> morning guys
[04:03] <superm1> morning laga
[04:03] <tgm4883> morning laga
[04:03] <superm1> tgm4883, perhaps an option in the installer?
[04:03] <tgm4883> sounds good
[04:03] <laga> superm1: did you create a separate gpg key to sign the weekly builds?
[04:03] <superm1> laga, yes, its on atrpms and on uk.weeklybuilds
[04:04] <tgm4883> can we add a big close button to the control centre?
[04:04] <superm1> tgm4883, where, sure?
[04:04] <laga> superm1: ok, i'll do that too, then
[04:04] <tgm4883> at the bottom next to the other 2 buttons
[04:04] <laga> superm1: i guess you are not asked for a password when signing
[04:04] <tgm4883> its kinda hard to get the little x on a big screen
[04:04] <superm1> Na
[04:04] <superm1> tgm4883, good point
[04:04] <laga> k
[04:04] <tgm4883> how about a different terminal too?
[04:05] <superm1> laga, do you have somewhere you are going to mirror the builds too?
[04:05] <tgm4883> I can't figure out how to copy and paste into it
[04:05] <tgm4883> or from it
[04:05] <superm1> tgm4883, yea once DaveMorris gets xfce stuff added
[04:05] <tgm4883> ok
[04:05] <superm1> we'll have the xfce terminal
[04:05] <tgm4883> and last but not least
[04:05] <tgm4883> where do you set the resolution in mythbuntu?
[04:05] <superm1> on that proprietary drivers tab,
[04:05] <tgm4883> I ran the restricted driver manager after install
[04:05] <tgm4883> ah
[04:05] <superm1> displayconfig-gtk
[04:06] <superm1> can do it
[04:06] <superm1> or nvidia-settings
[04:06] <superm1> or amdcccle
[04:06] <superm1> depending on what card you have
[04:06] <laga> hum
[04:06] <tgm4883> ok, so do I have to run that from a terminal?
[04:06] <laga> nvidia-settings tends to overrwrite my xorg.conf here ;)
[04:06] <tgm4883> or can it be accessed from the pd tab
[04:06] <superm1> laga, but you can change the resolution from it though
[04:06] <laga> true
[04:06] <superm1> tgm4883, from the pd tab
[04:06] <tgm4883> ok
[04:06] <tgm4883> oh one more thing
[04:07] <superm1> although displayconfig-gtk isn't installed by default, but will be for next release since we are going to have bulletproofx
[04:07] <tgm4883> can we add a button for the terminal to the control centre
[04:07] <superm1> i've thought about that
[04:07] <superm1> i wasn't sure it was a good idea.
[04:07] <tgm4883> It would help
[04:07] <superm1> where should it go?
[04:08] <superm1> perhaps on its own tab?
[04:08] <tgm4883> heh, next to the firewire support button
[04:08] <superm1> or maybe some tab called "Advanced"
[04:08] <superm1> which includes synaptic, terminal, and update-manager?
[04:08] <tgm4883> yea
[04:08] <tgm4883> advanced works
[04:09] <tgm4883> ideally
[04:10] <tgm4883> it would be nice for a firewire user to either A)  remember that they have firewire and that they should run plugreport before hand, or B) have something in the installer/mythtv-setup that brought up the terminal
[04:11] <tgm4883> if we want someone else to test too, I haven't seen him in a loooooong time, but majoridiot uses firewire too
[04:12] <superm1> yea i mailed him, but he didn't respond
[04:12] <tgm4883> ok
[04:12] <superm1> well isn't firewire changing for 0.21 though?
[04:12] <elmargol> I try to set up mythv for a friend. I think the system is to slow :(
[04:12] <tgm4883> there is one more problem with the firewire that im not too sure about
[04:12] <superm1> somewhere i thought i heard that
[04:12] <elmargol> 800 MHZ and a TNT2
[04:12] <superm1> elmargol, that is a bit slow depending if its a Frontend or Backend
[04:13] <superm1> (or both)
[04:13] <elmargol> both
[04:13] <tgm4883> there is an added function called firewire_reset that resets the firewire bus
[04:13] <superm1> tgm4883, added function or added application?
[04:13] <elmargol> mythfrontend.rel uses about 70% cpu
[04:13] <tgm4883> ehh, application I think
[04:14] <elmargol> 23% for xorg
[04:14] <superm1> elmargol, yea that sounds about right on a slower machine like that
[04:14] <superm1> elmargol, what type of capture card?
[04:14] <superm1> tgm4883, ook
[04:14] <tgm4883> elmargol, mythbuntu or ubuntu?
[04:14] <elmargol> the backend uses about 10%
[04:14] <elmargol> I did install minimal gutsy and upgrade to mythbuntu
[04:15] <elmargol> It is basicaly ubuntu gutsy + mythbuntu-desktop
[04:15] <superm1> elmargol, what capture card though?
[04:15] <elmargol> Hauppauge HVR 1300
[04:15] <tgm4883> superm1, i'm not too sure how to handle the firewire tester problem though
[04:16] <superm1> tgm4883, i'm not sure if that is the only problem though.
[04:16] <tgm4883> well, it's a hurdle for new users
[04:16] <elmargol> Well It basicaly works. The image hangs sometime. And deinterlace is missing
[04:16] <tgm4883> and how to handle it for them
[04:16] <tgm4883> hmm
[04:17] <superm1> elmargol, the most likely solution at this point is a graphics card that can offload some of the video playback
[04:17] <tgm4883> elmargol, do you need a desktop on there?
[04:17] <superm1> nvidia G4 series
[04:17] <elmargol> No I don't need a desktop
[04:17] <elmargol> you think the GPU is to slow?
[04:18] <tgm4883> i'd try 2 things.  1st, running straight mythbuntu because it has a less intense desktop env, if that doesn't work then upgrade the graphics card
[04:18] <superm1> tgm4883, my understanding is that he is just using the mythbuntu-desktop setup, not a full out ubuntu-desktop
[04:19] <tgm4883> ah
[04:19] <elmargol> yes. I did the minimal install + mythbuntu-desktop
[04:19] <tgm4883> ah ok
[04:19] <superm1> elmargol, well its not that its a slow GPU, its just that one with XvMC would help
[04:19] <tgm4883> then you need to upgrade the vid card
[04:19] <superm1> assuming you turned on XvMC
[04:19] <elmargol> I use the closed source nvidia drivers
[04:19] <elmargol> maybe the open source drivers are faster?
[04:19] <superm1> well the TNT2 doesn't support XvMC i thought
[04:20] <tgm4883> a tnt2 card is pretty old
[04:20] <superm1> elmargol, http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC
[04:20] <elmargol> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro]  (rev 15)
[04:21] <tgm4883> superm1, would this still be used for gutsy and .20.2 "http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-20-fixes/mythtv/contrib/firewire_tester.c?format=txt"
[04:22] <superm1> tgm4883, i dont know for sure.
[04:22] <tgm4883> I was looking for an updated one, i'll poke around in #mythtv-users
[04:22] <elmargol> is there a list of GPUs that support XvMC?
[04:22] <superm1> well i mean that is the newest one
[04:22] <superm1> elmargol, in that link i gave you
[04:24] <elmargol> thx
[04:24] <elmargol> so basically I can say to my friend: buy a faster GPU or a Full Featured Card
[04:25] <superm1> likely yea :)
[04:26] <elmargol> maybe lowering the resolution helps?
[04:27] <superm1> you can try, but i'd be doubtful it makes a big enough difference
[04:31] <elmargol> what about those artefacts at the border?
[04:37] <superm1> which artifacts?

[08:07] <superm1> DaveMorris, any luck with getting the config stuff ready for mythbuntu-default-settings/xfce?
[08:08] <DaveMorris> I was playing with the iso today and managed to create a bug in my xession so itt crashes out
[08:08] <DaveMorris> btw I noticed a openbox-gnome session, whats that like?
[08:08] <superm1> eh? I dunno
[08:08] <superm1> i think it just uses openbox for a wm
[08:08] <superm1> and then gnome for the ui
[08:10] <DaveMorris> I'vee got a problem to sort out 1st on my laptop, meeemtest86 package for gutsy won't install
[08:10] <DaveMorris> and I have a sticky 'eee' key
[08:10] <superm1> that's a bit of an odd problem
[08:10] <DaveMorris> memtest or 'ee'
[08:11] <superm1> memtest
[08:11] <superm1> what happens when yo utry?
[08:11] <DaveMorris> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/memtest86+_1.70-2ubuntu2_i386.deb: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1
[08:11] <superm1> perhaps a bug in the memtest package.
[08:11] <superm1> wonder what was added to it
[08:11] <foxbuntu> tgm4883, afternoon
[08:11] <foxbuntu> superm1, afternoon

[08:12] <DaveMorris> also just noticed you can delete/write in the message box with the error message
[08:12] <foxbuntu> superm1, have you seen the sudo insults?
[08:12] <superm1> foxbuntu, i saw some post on digg about it but didn't click it
[08:12] <superm1> i've been a bit busy
[08:12] <foxbuntu> its great
[08:12] <superm1> DaveMorris, in which message box?
[08:12] <foxbuntu> I just did it to my lappy
[08:13] <DaveMorris> I've closed it so I'm not surer, if I can reproduce it I'll rreport it
[08:14] <tgm4883> morning foxbuntu
[08:14] <superm1> DaveMorris, in what app was it?
[08:14] <foxbuntu> hey tgm4883
[08:14] <foxbuntu> I have something you should give a whirl
[08:14] <foxbuntu> you will like it
[08:15] <tgm4883> thanks, but I have a GF

[08:15] <foxbuntu> sudo visudo
[08:15] <foxbuntu> then on the line Defaults
[08:16] <foxbuntu> add a ,insults to the end
[08:16] <tgm4883> why did firestarter pop up and say transmitting all personal data to foxbuntu?
[08:16] <foxbuntu> lol
[08:17] <foxbuntu> did you get it
[08:17] <tgm4883> besides, if I add that, my computer will do nothing but insult me
[08:17] <foxbuntu> no its funny however
[08:18] <foxbuntu> I just added it to mine
[08:18] <foxbuntu> a sample
[08:18] <foxbuntu> Hold it up to the light --- not a brain in sight!
[08:19] <foxbuntu> lol
[08:19] <foxbuntu> its so stupid its funny
[08:19] <tgm4883> nice
[08:20] <DaveMorris> superm1: it was the error box which told me the update had failed, so I guess synaptic
[08:20] <superm1> oh i see
[08:21] <foxbuntu> superm1, plans are being formulated for the new Lirc remote Centre
[08:21] <superm1> foxbuntu, i've seen a few of the emails

[08:49] <MythbuntuGuest29> Hi i am trying to configure my old mythtv ubuntu version to work with the new scedule direct
[08:49] <MythbuntuGuest29> how would I go about doing that
[08:49] <laga> what prevents you from upgrading?
[08:50] <MythbuntuGuest29> I am acculy just following the instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_Backend_Frontend
[08:50] <MythbuntuGuest29> there and it has the old datadirect on it
[08:50] <laga> um
[08:50] <laga> what are you doing/what are you trying to achieve?
[08:51] <MythbuntuGuest29> trying to get scedule direct to work
[08:51] <laga> with mythtv on feisty?
[08:51] <MythbuntuGuest29> with mythtv using feisty
[08:51] <laga> what version of mythtv was installed?
[08:52] <MythbuntuGuest29> how do i check
[08:52] <laga> type dpkg -l libmyth-0.20
[08:52] <laga> in a terminal for example
[08:53] <MythbuntuGuest29> it says libmyth-0.20
[08:54] <MythbuntuGuest29> version 0.20-svn20070122-0.0ubuntu6
[08:54] <laga> ok, that's old
[08:54] <MythbuntuGuest29> i tried a apt-get update and upgrade and it did not upgrade it
[08:54] <laga> you need to enable the feisty-updates repository in synaptic then
[08:55] <MythbuntuGuest29> ok i know how to get to the repos but what do i add in the line
[08:55] <MythbuntuGuest29> i currently have feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
[08:55] <laga> oh
[08:55] <MythbuntuGuest29> from archive.ubuntu.com
[08:55] <laga> that should be enough.
[08:56] <laga> odd.
[08:56] <laga> wait a sec
[08:56] <laga> i'm not using my normal computer right now, so things are a bit slower
[08:58] <laga> MythbuntuGuest29: ok. you have feisty-updates enabled and it didn't pull in the new mythtv, you say?
[08:58] <laga> can you please try again?
[08:58] <laga> it should be in feisty-updates
[08:58] <MythbuntuGuest29> ya i got the repos in the list of the link i gave you for the directions
[08:59] <laga> hum
[08:59] <laga> it says "Updates to MythTV and other universe based apps will be provided via feisty-backports."
[08:59] <MythbuntuGuest29> nope said 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 3 not upgraded
[08:59] <laga> interesting
[08:59] <laga> so, feisty-backports is enabled as well on your system?
[08:59] <MythbuntuGuest29> how do i check
[08:59] <MythbuntuGuest29> I am looking in sources.list
[08:59] <laga> is it in there?
[09:00] <MythbuntuGuest29> is it suppost to be deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
[09:00] <laga> yes, that's what it says in the guide.
[09:01] <laga> this is odd.
[09:01] <MythbuntuGuest29> and deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[09:02] <laga> and you ran apt-get *update* after that, right?
[09:02] <MythbuntuGuest29> yep
[09:02] <MythbuntuGuest29> what repos do you have
[09:02] <laga> and afterwards, you ran apt-get *upgrade*, right?
[09:03] <MythbuntuGuest29> yep
[09:03] <MythbuntuGuest29> apt-get update
[09:03] <MythbuntuGuest29> apt-get upgrade
[09:03] <laga> ok
[09:03] <laga> i'm not using mythtv from the normal repos, btw, so my settings wont apply to you ;)
[09:03] <laga> MythbuntuGuest29: how did you install mythtv?
[09:03] <MythbuntuGuest29> yay
[09:04] <MythbuntuGuest29> found something on mythbuntu.org/auto-builds-faq
[09:04] <MythbuntuGuest29> i installed it using the directions found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_Backend_Frontend
[09:04] <MythbuntuGuest29> mythbuntu itself did not partition how i wanted
[09:05] <laga> oh, did you try to make a big partition and it wouldn't let you?
[09:05] <MythbuntuGuest29> yep
[09:05] <MythbuntuGuest29> now that I have it partitioned it should work better
[09:05] <laga> we have a bug report for that, i'll likely be fixed for that next release
[09:07] <MythbuntuGuest29> ya i was moving from mythdora to mythbuntu
[09:07] <laga> MythbuntuGuest29: can you do a dpkg -l *myth* ?
[09:07] <MythbuntuGuest29> and it did not like my logical partions
[09:07] <laga> s/i'll/it'll/
[09:07] <MythbuntuGuest29> now now i am starting a mythbuntu install
[09:09] <laga> oh
[09:09] <MythbuntuGuest29> i rather have festy though
[09:09] <laga> well, that's another approach to fixing your problem..
[09:09] <laga> i'd love to know why it wasnt working for you
[09:10] <laga> the upgrade on feisty, that is
[09:10] <MythbuntuGuest29> ya I don't have time to troubleshoot
[09:10] <MythbuntuGuest29> this has to be done in a hr
[09:10] <laga> good luck
[09:11] <MythbuntuGuest29> fiesty and the older version don't have much of a differance do they
[09:11] <laga> feisty and edgy? hum
[09:11] <laga> not sure.. for the mythtv packages probably not, since they're built from the same source
[09:12] <laga> i think
[09:12] <MythbuntuGuest29> the repos are a bit diffrent
[09:12] <laga> edgy will lack automagic mythweb setup at least, kernel will be older etc
[09:12] <laga> i'd prefer feisty :)
[09:12] <MythbuntuGuest29> that is about it on the diffrence between edgy anf feisty
[09:13] <laga> i can't really tell you about the differences since i dont know what you are looking for
[09:16] <MythbuntuGuest29> do you know what the prerelease festy updates repo is
[09:17] <MythbuntuGuest29> I found bug 134726 and it points to a fourm to where it says add prerelease repo
[09:17] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 134726 in mythtv "MythTV 0.20.2 SRU " [High,Fix committed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/134726
[09:18] <laga> MythbuntuGuest29: that would be feisty-proposed
[09:20] <MythbuntuGuest29> ok now how do i update just mythtv
[09:21] <MythbuntuGuest29> and it's items
[09:21] <laga> try to add feisty-proposed
[09:21] <laga> like you did with feisty-updates
[09:21] <laga> sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:25] <MythbuntuGuest29> well that is not working and I am running out of time
[09:25] <laga> you must be doing something wrong ;)
[09:25] <MythbuntuGuest29> if i am don't have time to figure out what
[09:26] <laga> i'd verify it in a virtual machine, but my main box is not usable.
[09:26] <Alowishus> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
[09:26] <Alowishus> if it helps any
[09:26] <laga> MythbuntuGuest29: why are you so short on time? installing mythtv within an hour is not always possible..
[09:26] <Alowishus> sure it is, that's what Mythbuntu is for ;)
[09:26] <laga> heh
[09:26] <laga> well, i'm not used to nifty things like schedules direct
[09:26] <MythbuntuGuest29> I started about 3 hours ago
[09:28] <MythbuntuGuest29> I can upgrade to fiesty later
[09:29] <laga> huh?
[09:29] <laga> upgrade?
[09:29] <laga> what are you running now?
[09:30] <MythbuntuGuest29> I am downgrading right now
[09:30] <laga> how?
[09:30] <laga> ah
[09:30] <laga> i guess it's your business
[09:30] <MythbuntuGuest29> installing mythbuntu ya I have to have this working at 8am
[09:30] <laga> too busy myself to keep squeezing information out of you:)
[09:31] <MythbuntuGuest29> and i work in a half a hr and will not be home tell 11
[09:31] <MythbuntuGuest29> so running out of time
[11:15] <firekool> how do I check to see if my video card is installed properly
[11:15] <firekool> and not it's generic drivers
[11:15] <Alowishus> what brand
[11:15] <firekool> nvidia
[11:15] <Alowishus> do you see the nvidia splash screen when X starts?
[11:15] <firekool> no
[11:15] <firekool> so i think it is generic
[11:16] <Alowishus> then it's generic (unless you've explicitly edited xorg.conf to turn off the splash)
[11:16] <Alowishus> here's the answer - if you installed Ubuntu and did no further configuration to explicitly install the nVidia proprietary drivers, then you don't have them
[11:16] <firekool> fun
[11:16] <Alowishus> there's a wiki walkthrough
[11:17] <firekool> ya i know how to do it just last time i did it following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/WhatNext/Feisty?action=show&redirect=MythTV%2FInstall%2FWhatNext%2FFesity
[11:17] <firekool> X did not start
[11:17] <Alowishus> dunno that should wrok
[11:18] <firekool> bad part is I don't remember what nvidia card i have is
[11:18] <firekool> oh i know what I did wrong i instaled legacy and ordenary
[11:19] <Alowishus> lspci shoudl tell you what nVidia card
[11:19] <Alowishus> or at least a family
[11:20] <firekool> and that would be the other reason
[11:20] <firekool> it is a ATI
[11:20] <Alowishus> haha
[11:20] <Alowishus> there ya' go :)
[11:20] <Alowishus> follow the *other* section on that webpage :P
[11:21] <firekool> I love linux it requires you to be smart
[11:25] <firekool> the computer is telling me please copy configuration file teplate to /etc/X11
[12:40] <DaveMorris> I'm using lirc for my ati remote wonder2 on feisty, but it dosen't allways use the remapping of keys at times, any ideas?
[12:41] <laga> remapping?
[12:42] <DaveMorris> well the remote is setup as a keyboard and lirc remaps the commands for me
[12:42] <DaveMorris> but it dosen't always work
[12:43] <laga> ah, using the dev/input driver?
[12:43] <DaveMorris> so in my ~/ I have a file called lircrc which maps the buttons to mythtv commands
[12:45] <firekool> yay I get to manualy configure samba
[02:25] <williammanda> hey guys
