ian_001i have the release from the 11th and just tried ot upgrade my nvidia drivers and now they dont work because they require the latest kernel i guess02:49
MythbuntuGuest69hi!02:52
MythbuntuGuest69I just had the nvidia problem02:52
MythbuntuGuest69had to apt-get update first02:52
Tari_yeah, that02:53

MythbuntuGuest92then run the control panel thingie03:01
MythbuntuGuest92it fixed the error that the file was not found03:01
ian_001restricted-manager or something?03:02
MythbuntuGuest92the control center03:03
MythbuntuGuest92you have to change the logon type03:03

tgm4883ian_001, feisty or gutsy?03:03
ian_001the mythbuntu install from sept 103:04
ian_001so the latest03:04
tgm4883you may want to try a dist-upgrade03:04
MythbuntuGuest92Sorry,03:04
MythbuntuGuest92I thought you had a different problem03:04
tgm4883although I don't know if that will fix your problem, as a regular apt-get upgrade should pull the package your looking for03:05
MythbuntuGuest92I downloaded the image tonight and installed it. The nvidia driver would not install until I did an update.03:06
ian_001because the previous driver wasnt there?03:06
ian_001thats hte problem i had03:06
ian_001i uninstalled just the nvidia driver and whe ni went to reinstall it it was gone03:06
tgm4883what do you mean it is gone?03:07
ian_001when i went to install the nvidia driver from the restricted mmanager it shoewd me the url and it couldnt download the file, i opened a browser and the file didnt exist on the server03:07
ian_001said it couldnt03:08
MythbuntuGuest92now, finally got pvr-350 working. last obsticle is lirc! No remote for me yet...03:08
ian_001ugh03:08
ian_001this always happens when i do na upgrade03:08
ian_001the remote never works03:08
MythbuntuGuest92that is the same problem that I had03:08
MythbuntuGuest92i did the apt-get update03:08
ian_001i knew i shouldnt have played with the nvidia driver03:08
ian_001did you try using the mythbuntu config application?03:09
ian_001rebooting, brb03:09
MythbuntuGuest92remote never works?03:09
MythbuntuGuest92What did he mean by that I wonder?03:10
tgm4883i suppose he meant that every time he touches his video card driver it breaks his lirc03:11
=== ian_001 [n=ian@ool-457d7cbf.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
ian_001ok now both my remote and my nvidia driver work03:15
[_Trimble_] @#$@#$  nvidia drivers broke my machine....  :(03:15
[_Trimble_] lol03:15
ian_001what worked for me was apt-get update, apt-get upgrade03:15
ian_001i thought my remote would break during the process but im fine03:16
[_Trimble_] nice :)03:16
[_Trimble_] I'm using the 7.10 mythbuntu iso, and I just asked it to install the "nvidia latest" drivers, and X broke.  /sigh  In my test rig i used the non-latest.. heh03:17
ian_001did yo utry the update?03:17
[_Trimble_] yeah03:18
MythbuntuGuest92Is there an easy way to get the remote working on a fresh install? It is a Hauppage remote03:18
[_Trimble_] before i asked it to install the nvidia drivers03:18
MythbuntuGuest92nevermind!03:19
MythbuntuGuest92apparently I just needed to install my old lircrc file03:19
[_Trimble_] well, my hauppage 150 silver remote worked immediately after install using the 7.10 iso03:19
MythbuntuGuest92mine is kinda working now03:19
[_Trimble_] mine worked perfectly on my test HD, except i had to edit the config to get the back/exit button working03:20
[_Trimble_] now i'm trying to put the same config on my real HD and it's being a pain03:21
MythbuntuGuest92yeah, that is the button that is broken on mine.03:23

MythbuntuGuest92glad I remembered to back up my highly modificated lircrc!!03:26
MythbuntuGuest92anyone remember how to make the ok/enter button go to a channel from the guide?03:31
[_Trimble_] wait, what?03:38
[_Trimble_] change ok/enter?03:38
[_Trimble_] i forgot what file i edited to fix my back/exit button heh03:39
MythbuntuGuest92I got that03:42
MythbuntuGuest92the lircrc mane did not match the lirc.conf name03:43
MythbuntuGuest92the volume names were screwy too03:43
MythbuntuGuest92only thing I dod not get working tonight is the DVD.03:43
MythbuntuGuest92There is a setting in the guide settings where it changes the function of the ok button while in guide to make it change channels. I found it03:44
MythbuntuGuest92otherwise the ok button goes to record settings03:45
MythbuntuGuest92heading to bed! Thanks to anyone involved in making MU. It is WAY easier than doing it from scratch like last time03:46

FatDavewow.  i'm on the site.  Just found out about "mythbuntu" Its a really cool idea.04:34
tgm4883_laptopthanks FatDave04:35
FatDavefirst question: is it going to support cards like hauppauge out of the box?04:35
tgm4883_laptopwell most of the support will come from Gutsy04:35
FatDavethats what I was thinking, but haven't looked at gutsy yet.  do you know if it has support for the ivtv drivers built in?04:36
tgm4883_laptopyes04:36
FatDavetit banger!  thats the one thing that pained me so every time that I installed mythtv on a fresh box04:36
FatDaveI see that mythbuntu isn't "official" yet, but I assume it is good enough to install?04:37
tgm4883_laptopwell, there are a few bugs04:37
tgm4883_laptopbut it is usable04:37
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, whats the time frame for the beta?04:38
FatDaveI also just found out about zap2it after seeing that there are no more channel listings in myth :(04:38
tgm4883_laptopThere is Schedules Direct though :)04:38
FatDaveyeah, but you have to pay04:41
tgm4883_laptopeh, it's only $15/6 months04:41
tgm4883_laptopbut to each his own04:41
[_Trimble_] yeah, 15 bucks for 6 months is wayyyyy better than tivo ;)04:42
FatDavei know.  i'm just hoping that there will be enough of an outcry04:42
tgm4883_laptopan outcry for what?04:42
FatDavehow does winblows media center work?  do you have to pay for channel listings or something with that?04:42
FatDaveoutcry for another free tv listing service04:43
tgm4883_laptopwell there are screenscraper programs04:43
FatDavei hear they don't work the best04:43
tgm4883_laptopthey dont04:44
FatDavemay not be accurate or something.  never tried them though04:44
tgm4883_laptopbut I wouldn't hold your breath for another free service04:44
tgm4883_laptopYou could also either get data OTA, or go without channel data04:44
FatDavewell, i am will be watching the progress with mythbuntu.  I think its very cool04:44
[_Trimble_] <-- lurking...   good night04:50

superm1_itzac, gnome-screensaver-preferences05:45
itzacgreat, thanks superml. figured it'd be something like that05:45
superm1_itzac, next alpha it should be in the xfce menus once we activate xfce05:46
itzacgood to hear, though I'm surprised it's enabled in the first place05:47
superm1_well it makes sense on tvs05:47
superm1_it shouldnt come on during the recordings though05:47
superm1_just the menus05:47
itzacyeah, that's what I'd expect05:48
superm1_is it coming on during recordings for you?05:48
itzacyup, and the remote doesn't turn it off. I have to use the keyboard05:48
superm1_is the screen turning black?05:48
superm1_or is the screensaver coming on05:48
superm1_you might be encountering the same thing tgm4883_laptop was05:48
itzacturning black slowly05:48
superm1_hm i wonder if the gnome screensaver support broke then recently05:49
superm1_your sure its a slow fade to black05:49
superm1_not just a sudden black05:49
itzacslow fade in menus, haven't seen it on tv, just came back to black05:50
superm1_okay then you are encountering dpms problems05:51
superm1_gnome screensaver support is working as expected though (in the menus its coming on)05:51
superm1_dpms is turning on otherwise though05:51
superm1_can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any info re: DPMS?05:51

itzacDPMS (Energy Star):05:58
itzacStandby: 1200    Suspend: 1800    Off: 240005:59
itzacetc..05:59
superm1_okay try this then05:59
superm1_xset s -dpms05:59
superm1_see if that resolves things05:59
superm1_if it doesn't, then it is the normal "X" screensaver breaking them05:59
itzacshould set values to 0?06:00
superm1_once you do xset s -dpms06:00
superm1_that turns them all off06:00
itzacdpms is disabled06:02

superm1_?06:15
CBiLLHi folks06:15
itzacdamn, looks like I was too optimistic, too06:16
itzacsame thing06:16
CBiLLgot rid of my flickering problem .. it was an VBI issue06:16
CBiLLsubmitted a report anyway06:16
superm1_well you guys are describing two different problems06:16
superm1_hi CBiLL06:16
superm1_oh you had vbi on?06:16
superm1_i could have told you vbi was buggy :)06:16
CBiLLI have to06:16
CBiLLI am deaf remember06:16
CBiLL=P06:16
itzacno, slow fade during tv06:16
CBiLLneed it on for CC but it fixed06:17
superm1_CBiLL, your deaf?06:17
tgm4883_laptopitzac, what is it doing to you?06:17
CBiLLyes06:18
superm1_CBiLL, sorry to hear that.  that would make things difficult wrg to vbi wouldnt it06:18
CBiLLwrg?06:19
superm1_with regard to06:19
CBiLLonly thing i need to do was change relsolution to 720 x 48006:19
CBiLLand it stop flickering06:19
superm1_and vbi works now too?06:19
foxbuntusuperm1_, btw...did the new Usplash work ok for you?06:20
superm1_foxbuntu, i uploaded it to the archive06:20
itzactgm, slow fade to black in menus or during tv06:20
foxbuntuawesome06:20
tgm4883_laptopitzac, yep same thing here06:20
superm1_foxbuntu, but i haven't rebooted my laptop yet, so i havent tried it06:21
foxbuntuoh you should06:21
foxbuntuits nice06:21
CBiLLsome bug in IVTV06:21
CBiLLyes06:21
CBiLLperfectly06:21
CBiLLjust change recording profile default and live tv06:21
CBiLLto 720 x 48006:21
superm1_itzac, tgm4883_laptop so then gnome-screensaver support *is* broken now or not.  i'm pretty confused.06:21
itzacwell, shutting off dpms didn't fix it06:22
superm1_CBiLL, we'll have to get that added to the wiki or to the manual06:22
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, I think it's gnome screensaver06:22
superm1_itzac, try the xset s off06:22
superm1_tgm4883_laptop, well this isn't good then.06:22
itzacI've already disabled the screensaver, will let you know if that solves it06:22
superm1_CBiLL, can you let DaveMorris know next time you see him06:22
CBiLLsuperm1_ : I submitted a bug report on it06:22
CBiLLbut yeah should be added to wiki06:22
CBiLLok if I see him06:22
CBiLLhe come to this channel?06:23
superm1_CBiLL, okay, well there is no general way to force it for everyone06:23
superm1_yeah he does06:23
=== dooder [n=nate@c-24-21-143-145.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-mythtv ["Leaving"]
tgm4883_laptopxset s off sets the screensaver to off?06:23
superm1_tgm4883_laptop, turns off the 'X' screensaver06:23
superm1_not the gnome-screensaver06:23
CBiLLIll remember it06:23
tgm4883_laptopah06:23
superm1_CBiLL, so everything else is working correctly for you now then right?06:23
CBiLLyes06:24
CBiLLperfectly06:24
CBiLLnice Closed Captioning too since i could change font and it size06:25
CBiLLI have not test recording and playing back on another player to see if it record the CC06:25
CBiLLI hope it does06:25
superm1_CBiLL, great.  and everything you've ran into along the way has either already had a bug filed or is fixed in a future release right?06:25
CBiLLI don't know about being fixed in future release but found a forum talking about it06:25
CBiLLso tried it and it fixed the problem06:26
CBiLLso I filed a bug with a link to that forum post about it06:26
superm1_okay so at least everything has bugs filed then06:26
CBiLLbut picture is perfect06:26
CBiLLthat is on PVR 500 composite in06:27
CBiLLwhere everyone says is grainy and crappy06:27
CBiLLand it not to me06:27
CBiLLlook clean and almost sharp06:27
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, i should also note that the remote doesn't bring it out of the black screen06:27
superm1_tgm4883_laptop, see that's characteristic of the "X' screensaver06:28
tgm4883_laptopI just disabled gnome-screensaver so we'll see06:28
superm1_but not gnome screensaver06:28
CBiLLthose fade in and out06:28
superm1_yeah06:29
CBiLLI seen them but only when I am in menu or left it there06:29
CBiLLnever saw it occur on live tv06:29
CBiLLit a normal thing right? to fade out when it in Menu listing?06:29
superm1_yeah that's normal06:29
superm1_tgm4883_laptop, and itzac claim that it is happening during tv too though06:30
superm1_i think they're lying, but that's just me :)06:30
superm1_CBiLL, re the picture being sharp to you: on a tv it looks a lot better to most people06:30
CBiLLok back to get my samba working .. thanks again for trying superm1_ and wanted to come in to tell you about it06:30
CBiLLlagas was a huge help pinpointing it too!06:30
CBiLLoh no s hehe06:30
CBiLLlaga06:30
superm1_thanks for getting us the info on what needs to be done about it, we'll be able to point others toward it now :)06:30
CBiLLyes06:31
CBiLLjust change the setting and it done06:31
tgm4883_laptopnope06:36
tgm4883_laptopdisabled gnome screensaver and it still does it06:36
CBiLLbios have screensaver on it?06:37
superm1_tgm4883_laptop, did you do xset s off?06:37
CBiLLolder copmuter did06:37
CBiLLI know lot of laptop bios had screensaver on it to save battery power .. are you using laptop? (just assuming due to your irc nickname )06:38
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, no, i'm doing that now thought06:39
tgm4883_laptopit takes about 10 minutes for it to happen, and the remote has no effect on it at all06:39
CBiLLhrmmm where the samba config saved at again?06:40

tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, that doesn't help either06:51
tgm4883_laptopalthough i did notice that when I did xset s off, i then did checked it and dpms was turned back on06:52
itzacshutting off gnome-screensaver seems to have fixed the problem06:52
tgm4883_laptopCBiLL, no, the problem is on my standalone system06:53
tgm4883_laptopitzac, how did you shut it off?06:53
itzacI sshed in and ran gnome-screensaver-preferences and unchecked activate screensaver when computer is idle06:55
tgm4883_laptophmm, thats what I did too06:55
tgm4883_laptopwell, i ran it from the control centre06:55
itzacmaybe it just hasn't turned on yet?06:56
itzacdid you log in with the same user as runs mythtv?06:56
superm1_well as of alpha 4 its the normal user06:56
itzacyup, just making sure there's nothing funny there06:56
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1_, would that differ though since the control centre brings up a root terminal?06:57
itzacit does?06:57
tgm4883_laptopyes06:57
superm1_well i don't know, perhaps that is where an issue is stemming06:58
superm1_only for gnome-screensaver-preferences would that matter06:58
superm1_not for xset stuff06:58
tgm4883_laptopheh06:58
itzacgnome-screensaver settings would be per user06:58
tgm4883_laptopthen maybe it will work for itzac06:58
itzacso you might want to su - user first06:58
tgm4883_laptopheh, now I get cannot open display06:59
itzacand I don't know how to fix that06:59
superm1_you have to do something like xhost +06:59
itzacmaybe instead try ssh localhost -X -luser07:00
itzacit's a hack, but it'll get'er done07:00
tgm4883_laptopim going to leave it activated but move it to 2 minutes and test it07:01
itzacclever guy07:01
tgm4883_laptopyay07:04
tgm4883_laptopdid it right at 2 minutes07:04
superm1_woah what happened with these gnome updates in gutsy.  gnome just got prettier again07:05
itzaccool07:05
itzacI bet the code that shuts off the screensaver is still pointed at the mythtv user07:05
=== tgm4883_laptop is not crazy
tgm4883_laptopand itzac is not crazy either07:06
superm1_well the code isn't dependent upon the user that is using it07:06
itzacnope07:06
itzacI'm too lazy to check the code out and look for myself, so I'll take your word for it07:12
superm1_well the code is a minor patch to the existing xscreensaver code already in myth07:12
superm1_to make it do similar causes to gnome-screensaver instead07:12
itzacin other oddities, my listings for today are off by 2 channels, but they fix themselves tomorrow07:12
superm1_so there is no reason that it should be behaving weirdly07:12

denbeirencould anyone here help me out in configuring my technotrend DVB card?10:35
lagamaybe. just ask a question :)10:36
denbeirenwhen i try to scan channels i get the error "error parsing ****"10:36
laga?10:36
lagadid you enter a transponder?10:36
denbeirenthe * stands for something, but i can't remember it right now :(10:36
denbeireni have the machine here next to me if you would be willing to guide me trough10:37
lagai can't guide you through it  because i don't remember the details. you need to give it an initial transponder, including modulation and other params10:38
lagayou can get those values from a channels.conf file10:38
denbeireni have tried running setup a couple of times,.. but without success10:40
denbeirenis a transponder the same as the LNB?10:41
lagano10:41
denbeiren"error parsing parameters" wat the error,.. now i remember10:41
lagathe transponder.. think of it as data stream on a given frequency which carries multiple channels10:41
lagayes10:41
lagabecause you didn't give an initial transponder10:41
lagayou could try to import a channels.conf and "scan all existing transponders"10:42

denbeirenfreq is empty10:47
denbeirenso i have to enter every channel manually?10:47
lagano10:47
lagayou have to enter one initial transponder. from that, it'll get all other transponders and the channels broadcast on those transponders10:48
denbeirencould i find a file somewhere that gives me all the transponders for astra 1 and astra 3 that i could import?10:49
denbeirenor could you give me the initial transponder?10:49
directhex|work"scan" from the dvb-utils package should work10:51
directhex|workor you could use lyngsat.com to get data if you really feel like it10:51
denbeirendvb-utils?10:52
denbeirendo i have to download that?10:53
directhex|workit's probably already included in mythbuntu. though laga will probably correct me10:53
denbeirenif it is included,.. how would i start it up and/or use it?10:55
directhex|workerm... with "scan" and the associated parameters?10:55
directhex|workalternatively, assuming the package is installed (why not just check? O_o) you could make use of the sample files it already provides10:56
directhex|worksuch as  /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E10:56
denbeirenbecause i am fairly new to linux and do not know where to find these things, and do not know how to load them10:57

directhex|workAstra 1 is on 19.2E, and there happens to already be a file in /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/ with the required frequency/transponder info in it11:00
denbeirenso i fill that "link" in where it sais import existing ......11:01
denbeirenchannels.conf import11:01
directhex|workrun "scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E" and it'll create a channels.conf gile for you11:02
directhex|workor you could try copying /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/channels.conf-dvbs-astra.gz to somewhere like /tmp, extract it (it's compressed) and use that. i don't know if any of the channels in that file are appropriate though11:03

denbeirenso when the scanning is finished,.. do i have to do anything else, or are the channels going to be visible right away?11:08
directhex|workwhich scanning? with "scan"? no, scan is just a utility to generate a channels.conf file. so run scan, put the output from it into a file, and give mythtv that file as an initial channels.conf file - it should then be able to rescan & fill in any blanks by itself11:09
=== behdha is now known as deffcon
denbeirenaha11:10
denbeirenthe only thing then is how to save that output to a file, because the scan is finished, and i'm on the cursor now11:10

directhex|workdenbeiren,  re-run it, and send the output to a file with >11:13
directhex|workdenbeiren, all unix commands have two types of output - STDOUT (for output) and STDERR (for errors). you can redirect either or both into a file (with > filename) or another program as input (with | appname)11:14
denbeirenso scan Astra-19.2E stdout (filename) ?11:18
denbeireni'm sorry i don't know a whole lot about unixcommands11:19

denbeirenand save is as blabla.conf ?11:26
directhex|workyeah11:26
directhex|workthere are also a lot of channels.conf examples on the net. you could google for channels.conf and the name of your satelite provider11:27
denbeirencan i load multiple .conf files, or do i have to merge them into one file?11:28
directhex|workyou'd have to merge them, i suspect. i really don't know, i use dvb-t so the extra step of filling in all this transponder mumbo-jumbo isn't neccessary11:30
denbeirenthere aren't a whole lot of flemish/dutch channels available here,.. so i have to use dbv-s11:31
denbeirenfailed to parse the file :s11:32
denbeirenthe file is there, and i can open it in the terminalscreen11:35
denbeirenwhat am i doing wrong here?11:35
lagai suggest we start a table for initial transponders in a wiki somewhere11:46
lagaor add them to those dro-down menus in mythtv (currently only available for dvb-t)11:46

directhex|workdownload http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/djmount/djmount-0.71.tar.gz and extract it to /tmp11:53
directhex|workdjmount is a basic way of viewing UPnP media shares. UPnP in theory makes sharing media across different apps on a network trivial. in practice, i think mythtv's implementation is broken on amd6411:54

frink_if i just kill gnome-screensaver will anything break do you think?07:25
tgm4883i wanted to lace it with profanities, but morals got the better of me07:25
lagai'd like to note that a 64biit libc6 does not work well wihenthe rest of your system is 32bit07:25
tgm4883frink_ why do you want to kill it?07:25
frink_tgm4883: because it (presumably) keeps blanking the screen and why ever would I want a screensaver on a PVR?07:26
tgm4883CBiLL didn't get back to you?07:26
lagafrink_: because your nice plasma might get burn-in07:26
tgm4883sorry, i thoung he was going to answer you07:26
tgm4883I was actually thinking your problem was dpms07:27
tgm4883not gnome screensaver07:27
lagayeah, PMs is the devil07:27
frink_laga: Well there is that and yeah, I guess it would be nicer if it were on and just didnt blank the screen during video play or livetv07:27
frink_tgm4883: Yeah it actually did look like a dpms blank07:28
frink_tgm4883: But I thought I would kill the screensaver and see if it stopped anyway.07:28
tgm4883gnome screensaver is more of a fade to black07:28
tgm4883I had that problem yesterday07:28
tgm4883you can test and disable it from the command line07:30
tgm4883but not from ssh in07:30
tgm4883xset -dpms07:32

MythbuntuGuest66How can I change the screen resolution in MythBuntu?  It selected a very high resolution, which I want to decrease (it's a backend, which I'm accessing via remote desktop)08:02
lagaMythbuntuGuest66: hum.08:03
laga"remote desktop"? vnc?08:03
MythbuntuGuest66actually, it's VMware Server console.08:03
lagaoh.08:04
MythbuntuGuest66I'm testing putting my backend within a VM, talking to MySQL in another VM, with a remote frontend on a Mac Mini08:04
lagawell, if you're logged in to X, you can run start xorg-config from mythbutnu-control-centre08:04
lagaMythbuntuGuest66: how are you accessing your capture cards?08:04
superm1wow that's an interesting setup08:04
superm1yeah how are capture cards going to work?08:05
MythbuntuGuest66I'm using an HDHomeRun08:05
MythbuntuGuest66(network based ATSC/QAM256 HD reception)08:06
superm1ah that would make sense08:06

MythbuntuGuest66For some reason, the "Launch Xorg Config" button is grayed out in control center08:10
superm1MythbuntuGuest66, you have to apt-get update/apt-get upgrade08:11
superm1there is a newer control centre08:11
superm1and then install displayconfig-gtk08:11
superm1lots has changed since the last alpha08:11
MythbuntuGuest66ahh.. great, I'll try that.08:11
superm1we're looking to have a new disk very soon that will reflect it all08:11
lagasuperm1: still alpha?08:12
superm1laga, i'm not sure if i want to call the next one beta08:12
superm1i want to see how well the xfce stuff works out08:12
superm1and DaveMorris has to commit the changes for it yet08:12
lagaah, right08:12
lagaand gutsy is still alpha, too08:12
lagaand personally, i do notice that. :)08:12
lagabtw, you were gonna elaborate on debconf.py.08:13
superm1but comparatively, we are following the gutsy cycle08:13
superm1so we really should be very close to beta too08:13
superm1laga, okay so regarding debconf.py, you have to either implement a full debconf frontend in your app08:14
superm1similar to what ubiquity does08:14
superm1or you have to call a noninteractive frontend08:14
superm1which i was doing for a bit in mythbuntu-live-autostart08:14
superm1i dont recall if i'm still doing that08:14
lagahum08:14
superm1and when you call the noninteractive frontend, it forks back into your app (is my understanding)08:14
superm1so it is then the parent process08:14
lagathat's above my head. i'll put it on the back burner...08:15
superm1so what really *should* be done for us i think is to write a shell script that will be passed a heck of a lot of parameters to update all the debconf stuff that gets changed by the control-centre08:15
superm1because then you figure you can pass all those debconf questions like remote frontends, mythweb, lirc changes08:16
superm1either way if that isnt done, something needs to be figured out before release08:16
superm1or suddenly people are going to be presented with a question during an apt-get update out of the blue08:16
lagahum.08:18
lagaand what so bad about using debconf-communicate08:19
superm1well if you can find a way to stop the debconf frontend08:19
superm1more power to you there08:19
superm1i just know i ran into the issue of not being able to08:19
lagauh08:20
lagais it it a locking problem?08:20
superm1yes08:21
superm1since you cant stop the debconf frontend08:21
superm1debconf is locked08:21
lagai'm not sure if i understand. do you mean - if a debconf frontend is already running, eg spawned by dpkg, i can't open a new one?08:22
superm1right08:24
superm1and if you start one via the control centre, you can't start dpkg08:24
lagadebconf-communicate08:25
lagadebconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable08:25
lagaalright.08:25
lagabut i dont understand why i'd have to stop the other debconf process. i mean, it's there for a reason - why can't i say "sorry, debconf is busy, please close dpkg and apt-get"?08:25
superm1well apt is used by the control centre08:26
superm1to install things08:26
lagaoh, so it's locked all the time when the control centre is run?08:27
superm1well there are two stages08:28
superm1one where all the packages are installed08:28
superm1and its locked there08:28
superm1and then the one when everything else is done08:28
lagai still don't know why we have to do things with debconf while it's locked08:30
=== MegaQuark_ [n=gary@pool-71-117-201-251.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv
superm1well you don't08:32
superm1but the problem is that you can't stop the debconf process08:32
lagathe one i'm spawning?08:32
superm1well if your spawning it like how i was08:32
superm1then you won't be able to08:32
lagait stops automagically here08:33
superm1take a look at this: http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-live-autostart/annotate/supermario%40portablemario-20070730052503-oehdpcngrnc7193p?file_id=mythbuntustartup-20070712081233-9hl417m08aey045i-108:33

superm1okay so your not launching it via python though08:34
superm1or debconf.yp more specifically08:34
lagayes08:34
superm1well that will work fine08:34
lagadebconf.py is launching debconf-communicate, btw.08:34
superm1but has nothing to do with 'import debconf'08:34
lagain class DebconfCommunicator08:35
lagaif you import DebconfCommunicator from debconf, it has08:35
lagawhich is was ubiquity/frontend/base.py is doing AFAIK08:36
MythbuntuGuest66Thanks for the tips..   I updated & installed displayconfig-gtk.  I was able to change my resolution somewhat..  Most choices resulted in an application crash, when it did change I would restart X and it would display at a different resolution.    Very Odd...08:38
MythbuntuGuest66To clarify: it was displayconfig-gtk that was crashing, not mythbuntu-control-center08:40
lagayeah, some things in gutsy just make you shake your head08:40
lagaand i'm not talking about the heavy metal way here08:40
MythbuntuGuest66yup.  But, a quick trip to vi to edit xorg.conf gets me back to a decent resolution.08:43
MythbuntuGuest66Shoulda just done that in the first place.08:43
MythbuntuGuest66Mythbuntu looks promising.   But, for my backend-only needs, I think I will end up going with a server oriented distro.08:44
DavieyMythbuntuGuest66: why?08:45
lagaubuntu is server-oriented.08:45
DavieyMythbuntuGuest66: Ubuntu can be server oriented08:45
lagajust dont install the gui crap, sudo aptitude install mythtv-backend-master and you're done08:45
DavieyAnd.. if you mix & match distro's - the packages could mismatch, come up date time08:46
MythbuntuGuest66The setup seems to assume HTPC frontend orientation..  I can see how it would greatly simplify setup for a frontend or combined back/front.   But for my needs, the pre-configuration just gets in the way.08:46
MythbuntuGuest66My server option may be Ubuntu-server.08:46
tgm4883_laptopdo a gutsy server install then08:47
DavieySo what is the difference between a mythbuntu backend (No X) and ubuntu server + mythtv-backend?08:47
lagaMythbuntuGuest66: there is no difference between ubuntu and myghbuntu. it's just a different set of packages. all packages are aailable to both distros.08:47
tgm4883_laptopThat would be practically zilch08:47
Davieyexactly..08:48
MythbuntuGuest66Maybe not much.  But, for server, I would go with Feisty at this point, and just install what I need.08:49
=== tgm4883 shrugs
tgm4883I wouldn't go with feisty08:49
tgm4883but to each his own08:49
lagai wouldn't use gutsy on a server yet, agreed.08:49
DavieyWell we are doing weekly fesity builds... so you are fine for now08:50
Davieybut I wouldn't be concerned with running Gutsy server on a home-lan08:50
MythbuntuGuest66My experience with gutsy seems to show it's still a bit bleeding edge.   And, for simple backend use, I don't see any big advantages to using gutsy.08:50
lagaDaviey: i'm seeing lots of segfaults in kbuntu gutsy here.08:50
lagait's not quite there yet for a production system08:51
lagaTBH, some issues i find rather embarrassing, but since it's alpha i'll keep my mouth shut08:51
Davieylaga: yeah.. unionfs is whinging at boot up for me08:51
tgm4883MythbuntuGuest66, I would expect Gutsy to be a bit bleeding edge, you know, being all not released and all08:51
MythbuntuGuest66Yeah, exactly.   Which is why I would stick with stable release for my use.08:52
tgm4883well good luck with that08:53
lagai'll extend the weekly builds to edgy, i think08:53
lagacant find motivation right now, though08:54
Davieylaga: Wouldn't dapper be more pressing than edgy08:54
DavieyThere is little reason for people to be using edgy, but dapper is th current LTS08:55
lagafor weekly builds? no08:56
lagadirecthex is maintaining 0.20.2 builds for dapper08:56
superm1laga, mind you that ubiquity doesn't ever stop their debconf communicator08:56
superm1until the app closes08:56
lagaDaviey: our packaging stuff won't backport easily to dapper anyways. i don't want to spend time backporting it.08:57
lagaor maintaining different package sets08:57
superm1it was bad enough doing the SRU's09:00
superm1i can't imagine doing that stuff regularly09:00
lagayup09:00
lagaeven edgy is gonna be a pain for mythweb09:00
lagatbh, i couldn't care less right now09:00
lagasuperm1: ok, it should be easy enough to close the debconf frontend. if we start it, we ought to have some control over it09:01
superm1laga, like i said if you figure out how to, more power to you :)09:03
lagaya, maybe i'll give it a try09:04
lagahad a different thought09:04
lagai've seen we can "reconfigure" packages in the control centre. will this spawn this apt window? where you could set the password then?09:04
MythbuntuGuest66Thanks for the help.     Later.09:05
superm1laga, those reconfigure options dont call apt actually09:06
superm1they end up just rewriting out config files09:06
lagaok.09:10
superm1that's part of the problem09:18
superm1those debconf questions aren't marked as 'seen'09:18
superm1so they get shown later if someone decides to use any type of update manager to update09:19
