[04:35] well most of the support will come from Gutsy [04:36] thats 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] yes [04:36] tit banger! thats the one thing that pained me so every time that I installed mythtv on a fresh box [04:37] I see that mythbuntu isn't "official" yet, but I assume it is good enough to install? [04:37] well, there are a few bugs [04:37] but it is usable [04:38] superm1_, whats the time frame for the beta? [04:38] I also just found out about zap2it after seeing that there are no more channel listings in myth :( [04:38] There is Schedules Direct though :) [04:41] yeah, but you have to pay [04:41] eh, it's only $15/6 months [04:41] but to each his own [04:42] <[_Trimble_] > yeah, 15 bucks for 6 months is wayyyyy better than tivo ;) [04:42] i know. i'm just hoping that there will be enough of an outcry [04:42] an outcry for what? [04:42] how does winblows media center work? do you have to pay for channel listings or something with that? [04:43] outcry for another free tv listing service [04:43] well there are screenscraper programs [04:43] i hear they don't work the best [04:44] they dont [04:44] may not be accurate or something. never tried them though [04:44] but I wouldn't hold your breath for another free service [04:44] You could also either get data OTA, or go without channel data [04:44] well, i am will be watching the progress with mythbuntu.

[05:45] itzac, gnome-screensaver-preferences [05:45] great, thanks superml. figured it'd be something like that [05:46] itzac, next alpha it should be in the xfce menus once we activate xfce [05:47] good to hear, though I'm surprised it's enabled in the first place [05:47] well it makes sense on tvs [05:47] it shouldnt come on during the recordings though [05:47] just the menus [05:48] yeah, that's what I'd expect [05:48] is it coming on during recordings for you? [05:48] yup, and the remote doesn't turn it off. I have to use the keyboard [05:48] is the screen turning black? [05:48] or is the screensaver coming on [05:48] you might be encountering the same thing tgm4883_laptop was [05:48] turning black slowly [05:49] hm i wonder if the gnome screensaver support broke then recently [05:49] your sure its a slow fade to black [05:49] not just a sudden black [05:50] slow fade in menus, haven't seen it on tv, just came back to black [05:51] okay then you are encountering dpms problems [05:51] gnome screensaver support is working as expected though (in the menus its coming on) [05:51] dpms is turning on otherwise though [05:51] can you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any info re: DPMS? [05:51] does it matter that this is on my TV? [05:52] it shouldn't [05:52] tgm4883_laptop, get back here so you can say what you sorted out this with? [05:52] im back whats up [05:52] itzac is getting the same DPMS thing you were [05:52] what did you end up having to do for it? [05:52] sweet [05:52] heh, nothing [05:53] well [05:53] actually I have tried everything, and it still does it [05:53] not what you wanted to hear? [05:53] all seems joyful in the log [05:53] itzac, can you do [05:53] xset q [05:54] can I do it from ssh? [05:54] No [05:55] open up the control centre and choose the advanced management tab [05:55] and hit the terminal button there [05:55] your looking for a section like this in the results of xset q [05:55] DPMS (Energy Star): [05:55] Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 [05:55] DPMS is Enabled [05:55] Monitor is On [05:56] q, brb [05:58] tgm4883_laptop, in your xset q [05:58] can you check and see what the "Screen Saver:" [05:58] section indicates? [05:58] DPMS (Energy Star): [05:59] Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400 [05:59] etc.. [05:59] okay try this then [05:59] xset s -dpms [05:59] see if that resolves things [05:59] if it doesn't, then it is the normal "X" screensaver breaking them [06:00] should set values to 0? [06:00] once you do xset s -dpms [06:00] that turns them all off [06:02] dpms is disabled [06:02] hopefully that reoslves the issue [06:02] man if that works im going to be happy [06:02] and irritated [06:02] hehe [06:02] but mostly happy [06:02] well it still doesn't solve the problem permanently [06:02] it just will identify it [06:02] i swear i did that yesterday [06:02] yea, a reboot will change it back [06:03] I was about to ask [06:03] so if that *doesn't work* [06:03] then try this [06:03] xset s off [06:03] but dont do them both right now [06:03] how do I make it permanent? [06:03] because we need to identify which one is causing it [06:03] we'll get to that after we know if its the solution :) [06:04] off to watch a show. I'll know in less than 30 [06:04] evening superm1_ [06:04] hi [06:05] foxbuntu, i ran into travis today at the career fair [06:05] which one? [06:05] Farmer? [06:05] yes [06:05] wow really?

[06:15] sure [06:15] ? [06:15] Hi folks [06:16] damn, looks like I was too optimistic, too [06:16] same thing [06:16] got rid of my flickering problem .. it was an VBI issue [06:16] submitted a report anyway [06:16] well you guys are describing two different problems [06:16] hi CBiLL [06:16] oh you had vbi on? [06:16] i could have told you vbi was buggy :) [06:16] I have to [06:16] I am deaf remember [06:16] =P [06:16] no, slow fade during tv [06:17] need it on for CC but it fixed [06:17] CBiLL, your deaf? [06:17] itzac, what is it doing to you? [06:18] yes [06:18] CBiLL, sorry to hear that. that would make things difficult wrg to vbi wouldnt it [06:19] wrg? [06:19] with regard to [06:19] only thing i need to do was change relsolution to 720 x 480 [06:19] and it stop flickering [06:19] and vbi works now too? [06:20] superm1_, btw...did the new Usplash work ok for you? [06:20] foxbuntu, i uploaded it to the archive [06:20] tgm, slow fade to black in menus or during tv [06:20] awesome [06:20] itzac, yep same thing here [06:21] foxbuntu, but i haven't rebooted my laptop yet, so i havent tried it [06:21] oh you should [06:21] its nice [06:21] some bug in IVTV [06:21] yes [06:21] perfectly [06:21] just change recording profile default and live tv [06:21] to 720 x 480 [06:21] itzac, tgm4883_laptop so then gnome-screensaver support *is* broken now or not. i'm pretty confused. [06:22] well, shutting off dpms didn't fix it [06:22] CBiLL, we'll have to get that added to the wiki or to the manual [06:22] superm1_, I think it's gnome screensaver [06:22] itzac, try the xset s off [06:22] tgm4883_laptop, well this isn't good then. [06:22] I've already disabled the screensaver, will let you know if that solves it [06:22] CBiLL, can you let DaveMorris know next time you see him [06:22] superm1_ : I submitted a bug report on it [06:22] but yeah should be added to wiki [06:22] ok if I see him [06:23] he come to this channel? [06:23] CBiLL, okay, well there is no general way to force it for everyone [06:23] yeah he does === dooder [n=nate@c-24-21-143-145.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-mythtv ["Leaving"] [06:23] xset s off sets the screensaver to off?

[06:24] yes [06:24] perfectly [06:25] nice Closed Captioning too since i could change font and it size [06:25] I have not test recording and playing back on another player to see if it record the CC [06:25] I hope it does [06:25] 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] I don't know about being fixed in future release but found a forum talking about it [06:26] so tried it and it fixed the problem [06:26] so I filed a bug with a link to that forum post about it [06:26] okay so at least everything has bugs filed then [06:26] but picture is perfect [06:27] that is on PVR 500 composite in [06:27] where everyone says is grainy and crappy [06:27] and it not to me [06:27] look clean and almost sharp [06:27] superm1_, i should also note that the remote doesn't bring it out of the black screen [06:28] tgm4883_laptop, see that's characteristic of the "X' screensaver [06:28] I just disabled gnome-screensaver so we'll see [06:28] but not gnome screensaver [06:28] those fade in and out [06:29] yeah [06:29] I seen them but only when I am in menu or left it there [06:29] never saw it occur on live tv [06:29] it a normal thing right? to fade out when it in Menu listing? [06:29] yeah that's normal [06:30] tgm4883_laptop, and itzac claim that it is happening during tv too though [06:30] i think they're lying, but that's just me :) [06:30] CBiLL, re the picture being sharp to you: on a tv it looks a lot better to most people [06:30] ok back to get my samba working .. thanks again for trying superm1_ and wanted to come in to tell you about it [06:30] lagas was a huge help pinpointing it too! [06:30] oh no s hehe [06:30] laga [06:30] thanks for getting us the info on what needs to be done about it, we'll be able to point others toward it now :) [06:31] yes [06:31] just change the setting and it done [06:36] nope [06:36] disabled gnome screensaver and it still does it [06:37] bios have screensaver on it? [06:37] tgm4883_laptop, did you do xset s off? [06:37] older copmuter did [06:38] I know lot of laptop bios had screensaver on it to save battery power .. are you using laptop? (just assuming due to your irc nickname ) [06:39] superm1_, no, i'm doing that now thought [06:39] it takes about 10 minutes for it to happen, and the remote has no effect on it at all [06:40] hrmmm where the samba config saved at again? [06:42] /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:42] thanks === MegaQuark_ [n=gary@pool-71-117-201-251.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [06:51] superm1_, that doesn't help either [06:52] although i did notice that when I did xset s off, i then did checked it and dpms was turned back on [06:52] shutting off gnome-screensaver seems to have fixed the problem [06:53] CBiLL, no, the problem is on my standalone system [06:53] itzac, how did you shut it off? [06:55] I sshed in and ran gnome-screensaver-preferences and unchecked activate screensaver when computer is idle [06:55] hmm, thats what I did too [06:55] well, i ran it from the control centre [06:56] maybe it just hasn't turned on yet? [06:56] did you log in with the same user as runs mythtv? [06:56] well as of alpha 4 its the normal user [06:56] yup, just making sure there's nothing funny there [06:57] superm1_, would that differ though since the control centre brings up a root terminal? [06:57] it does? [06:57] yes [06:58] well i don't know, perhaps that is where an issue is stemming [06:58] only for gnome-screensaver-preferences would that matter [06:58] not for xset stuff [06:58] heh [06:58] gnome-screensaver settings would be per user [06:58] then maybe it will work for itzac [06:58] so you might want to su - user first [06:59] heh, now I get cannot open display [06:59] and I don't know how to fix that [06:59] you have to do something like xhost + [07:00] maybe instead try ssh localhost -X -luser [07:00] it's a hack, but it'll get'er done [07:01] im going to leave it activated but move it to 2 minutes and test it [07:01] clever guy [07:04] yay [07:04] did it right at 2 minutes [07:05] woah what happened with these gnome updates in gutsy. gnome just got prettier again [07:05] cool [07:05] I bet the code that shuts off the screensaver is still pointed at the mythtv user === tgm4883_laptop is not crazy [07:06] and itzac is not crazy either [07:06] well the code isn't dependent upon the user that is using it [07:06] nope [07:12] I'm too lazy to check the code out and look for myself, so I'll take your word for it [07:12] well the code is a minor patch to the existing xscreensaver code already in myth [07:12] to make it do similar causes to gnome-screensaver instead [07:12] in other oddities, my listings for today are off by 2 channels, but they fix themselves tomorrow [07:12] so there is no reason that it should be behaving weirdly === MnDBnDr [n=MnDBnDr@cpe-204-210-188-132.neo.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [07:13] heh, i have other oddities too [07:13] but maybe I AM crazy :) [07:13] I suppose mythtv has probably never actually had to run as a mythtv user [07:13] no, it's just been a matter of convenience/security and such [07:14] Hi All [07:14] Hi [07:14] I just trust my perimeter security.

[10:36] maybe. just ask a question :) [10:36] when i try to scan channels i get the error "error parsing ****" [10:36] ? [10:36] did you enter a transponder? [10:36] the * stands for something, but i can't remember it right now :( [10:37] i have the machine here next to me if you would be willing to guide me trough [10:38] i 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 params [10:38] you can get those values from a channels.conf file [10:40] i have tried running setup a couple of times,.. but without success [10:41] is a transponder the same as the LNB? [10:41] no [10:41] "error parsing parameters" wat the error,.. now i remember [10:41] the transponder.. think of it as data stream on a given frequency which carries multiple channels [10:41] yes [10:41] because you didn't give an initial transponder [10:42] you could try to import a channels.conf and "scan all existing transponders" [10:43] i am in mythtv setup now [10:43] i have my cardsettings [10:43] the card is recognised === nils_ [n=Rimers@0x5553320b.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [10:43] diseq settings are correct (as far as i know) [10:44] video sources, nothing [10:44] input connections,.. there i can scan for channels, but that gives me errors [10:44] Hi guys :) [10:45] and channel editor [10:45] where do i make the settings for those transponders you were talking about? [10:45] you enter them in the channel scanner window [10:46] there are a bunch of empty fields. [10:46] for frequency, modulation etc [10:47] yes i see those [10:47] you need to enter something there. [10:47] freq is empty [10:47] so i have to enter every channel manually? [10:47] no [10:48] you have to enter one initial transponder. from that, it'll get all other transponders and the channels broadcast on those transponders [10:49] could i find a file somewhere that gives me all the transponders for astra 1 and astra 3 that i could import? [10:49] or could you give me the initial transponder? [10:51] "scan" from the dvb-utils package should work [10:51] or you could use lyngsat.com to get data if you really feel like it [10:52] dvb-utils? [10:53] do i have to download that? [10:53] it's probably already included in mythbuntu. though laga will probably correct me [10:55] if it is included,.. how would i start it up and/or use it? [10:55] erm... with "scan" and the associated parameters? [10:56] alternatively, assuming the package is installed (why not just check? O_o) you could make use of the sample files it already provides [10:56] such as /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E [10:57] because i am fairly new to linux and do not know where to find these things, and do not know how to load them [10:58] dpkg -l dvb-utils [10:58] "ii" means "installed & configured" [10:59] i do not have that package [10:59] installing now [10:59] ii is stated now [11:00] right. [11:00] Astra 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 it [11:01] so i fill that "link" in where it sais import existing ...... [11:01] channels.conf import [11:02] run "scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E" and it'll create a channels.conf gile for you [11:03] or 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 though [11:03] the scanning is running in the terminal screen [11:04] In that dir i can find all of the sats? [11:06] some of them. they're just examples. === MegaQuark__ [n=gary@pool-71-117-201-251.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv === behdha [n=behdha@217.166.51.89] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [11:08] so when the scanning is finished,.. do i have to do anything else, or are the channels going to be visible right away? [11:09] which 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 itself === behdha is now known as deffcon [11:10] aha [11:10] the only thing then is how to save that output to a file, because the scan is finished, and i'm on the cursor now [11:12] laga : the problem i had yesterday about " no menu text in mythtv" had to do with fonts --> the problem is solved now [11:13] denbeiren, re-run it, and send the output to a file with > [11:14] denbeiren, 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) [11:18] so scan Astra-19.2E stdout (filename) ? [11:19] i'm sorry i don't know a whole lot about unixcommands [11:24] scan /path/to/scan/input/file > /path/to/outputfile [11:26] and save is as blabla.conf ? [11:26] yeah [11:27] there are also a lot of channels.conf examples on the net. you could google for channels.conf and the name of your satelite provider [11:28] can i load multiple .conf files, or do i have to merge them into one file? [11:30] you'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 neccessary [11:31] there aren't a whole lot of flemish/dutch channels available here,.. so i have to use dbv-s [11:32] failed to parse the file :s [11:35] the file is there, and i can open it in the terminalscreen [11:35] what am i doing wrong here? [11:46] i suggest we start a table for initial transponders in a wiki somewhere [11:46] or add them to those dro-down menus in mythtv (currently only available for dvb-t) [11:46] laga, yes! [11:47] yes to what? === laga is now running amd64, yay [11:49] laga, really? 0.20.2 or trunk? [11:49] i'm on amd64 as well [11:49] directhex|work: trunk [11:49] i have yet to install mythtv [11:49] well, rather: make packages for amd64 [11:49] okay, when someone has myth on amd64, can they test something for me? [11:49] i can [11:49] depends [11:50] denbeiren, are you on trunk or 0.20.2? [11:50] absolutely no idea [11:50] mythbuntu [11:50] that's 0.20.2 [11:50] gutsy [11:51] but no further knowledge [11:51] okay. can you install the "build-essential" and "libfuse-dev" packages? [11:52] installing build [11:53] download http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/djmount/djmount-0.71.tar.gz and extract it to /tmp [11:54] djmount 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 amd64 [11:54] could you give me the exact terminalcommands please? it would be so much faster [11:54] cd /tmp && wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/djmount/djmount-0.71.tar.gz && cd djmount* && ./configure && mak [11:54] e [11:54] that's make at the end, not mak [11:54] forgot to extract it? [11:55] whoops [11:55] let's try again [11:55] cd /tmp && wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/djmount/djmount-0.71.tar.gz && tar zxvf djmount* && cd djmount* && ./configure && make [11:55] should spend about 90 seconds on the "configure" bit, 32 seconds on the "make" bit [11:56] installing libdev [11:57] running your command [11:58] anything else? [11:58] yeah. did that all finish? [11:58] yes [11:59] okay. run "cd djmount && mkdir testy && sudo modprobe fuse && sudo ./djmount testy" [12:00] done [12:00] there's now a folder called "testy". if your mythtv backend is running, then there should be a subfolder for the mythtv machine inside it [12:01] i.e. "ls testy" will show something like "MythTV AV UPnP Server" [12:01] ffs.

[08:11] we're looking to have a new disk very soon that will reflect it all [08:12] superm1: still alpha? [08:12] laga, i'm not sure if i want to call the next one beta [08:12] i want to see how well the xfce stuff works out [08:12] and DaveMorris has to commit the changes for it yet [08:12] ah, right [08:12] and gutsy is still alpha, too [08:12] and personally, i do notice that. :) [08:13] btw, you were gonna elaborate on debconf.py. [08:13] but comparatively, we are following the gutsy cycle [08:13] so we really should be very close to beta too [08:14] laga, okay so regarding debconf.py, you have to either implement a full debconf frontend in your app [08:14] similar to what ubiquity does [08:14] or you have to call a noninteractive frontend [08:14] which i was doing for a bit in mythbuntu-live-autostart [08:14] i dont recall if i'm still doing that [08:14] hum [08:14] and when you call the noninteractive frontend, it forks back into your app (is my understanding) [08:14] so it is then the parent process [08:15] that's above my head. i'll put it on the back burner... [08:15] so 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-centre [08:16] because then you figure you can pass all those debconf questions like remote frontends, mythweb, lirc changes [08:16] either way if that isnt done, something needs to be figured out before release [08:16] or suddenly people are going to be presented with a question during an apt-get update out of the blue [08:18] hum. [08:19] and what so bad about using debconf-communicate [08:19] well if you can find a way to stop the debconf frontend [08:19] more power to you there [08:19] i just know i ran into the issue of not being able to [08:20] uh [08:20] is it it a locking problem? [08:21] yes [08:21] since you cant stop the debconf frontend [08:21] debconf is locked [08:22] i'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? [08:24] right [08:24] and if you start one via the control centre, you can't start dpkg [08:25] debconf-communicate [08:25] debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [08:25] alright. [08:25] but 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"? [08:26] well apt is used by the control centre [08:26] to install things [08:27] oh, so it's locked all the time when the control centre is run? [08:28] well there are two stages [08:28] one where all the packages are installed [08:28] and its locked there [08:28] and then the one when everything else is done [08:30] i still don't know why we have to do things with debconf while it's locked === MegaQuark_ [n=gary@pool-71-117-201-251.ptldor.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [08:32] well you don't [08:32] but the problem is that you can't stop the debconf process [08:32] the one i'm spawning? [08:32] well if your spawning it like how i was [08:32] then you won't be able to [08:33] it stops automagically here [08:33] take a look at this: http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-live-autostart/annotate/supermario%40portablemario-20070730052503-oehdpcngrnc7193p?file_id=mythbuntustartup-20070712081233-9hl417m08aey045i-1 [08:34] flood [08:34] laga@prometheus:~/dev/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-control-centre$ echo "get debconf/frontend" | debconf-communicate [08:34] line 18 and 19 [08:34] debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied [08:34] 0 Dialog [08:34] laga@prometheus:~/dev/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-control-centre$ [08:34] okay so your not launching it via python though [08:34] or debconf.yp more specifically [08:34] yes [08:34] well that will work fine [08:34] debconf.py is launching debconf-communicate, btw. [08:34] but has nothing to do with 'import debconf' [08:35] in class DebconfCommunicator [08:35] if you import DebconfCommunicator from debconf, it has [08:36] which is was ubiquity/frontend/base.py is doing AFAIK [08:38] Thanks 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... [08:40] To clarify: it was displayconfig-gtk that was crashing, not mythbuntu-control-center [08:40] yeah, some things in gutsy just make you shake your head [08:40] and i'm not talking about the heavy metal way here [08:43] yup. But, a quick trip to vi to edit xorg.conf gets me back to a decent resolution. [08:43] Shoulda just done that in the first place. [08:44] Mythbuntu looks promising. But, for my backend-only needs, I think I will end up going with a server oriented distro. [08:45] MythbuntuGuest66: why? [08:45] ubuntu is server-oriented. [08:45] MythbuntuGuest66: Ubuntu can be server oriented [08:45] just dont install the gui crap, sudo aptitude install mythtv-backend-master and you're done [08:46] And.. if you mix & match distro's - the packages could mismatch, come up date time [08:46] The 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] My server option may be Ubuntu-server. [08:47] do a gutsy server install then [08:47] So what is the difference between a mythbuntu backend (No X) and ubuntu server + mythtv-backend? [08:47] MythbuntuGuest66: 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] That would be practically zilch [08:48] exactly.. [08:49] Maybe not much. But, for server, I would go with Feisty at this point, and just install what I need. === tgm4883 shrugs [08:49] I wouldn't go with feisty [08:49] but to each his own [08:49] i wouldn't use gutsy on a server yet, agreed. [08:50] Well we are doing weekly fesity builds... so you are fine for now [08:50] but I wouldn't be concerned with running Gutsy server on a home-lan [08:50] My 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] Daviey: i'm seeing lots of segfaults in kbuntu gutsy here. [08:51] it's not quite there yet for a production system [08:51] TBH, some issues i find rather embarrassing, but since it's alpha i'll keep my mouth shut [08:51] laga: yeah.. unionfs is whinging at boot up for me [08:51] MythbuntuGuest66, I would expect Gutsy to be a bit bleeding edge, you know, being all not released and all [08:52] Yeah, exactly. Which is why I would stick with stable release for my use. [08:53] well good luck with that [08:53] i'll extend the weekly builds to edgy, i think [08:54] cant find motivation right now, though [08:54] laga: Wouldn't dapper be more pressing than edgy [08:55] There is little reason for people to be using edgy, but dapper is th current LTS [08:56] for weekly builds? no [08:56] directhex is maintaining 0.20.2 builds for dapper [08:56] laga, mind you that ubiquity doesn't ever stop their debconf communicator [08:56] until the app closes [08:57] Daviey: our packaging stuff won't backport easily to dapper anyways. i don't want to spend time backporting it. [08:57] or maintaining different package sets [09:00] it was bad enough doing the SRU's [09:00] i can't imagine doing that stuff regularly [09:00] yup [09:00] even edgy is gonna be a pain for mythweb [09:00] tbh, i couldn't care less right now [09:01] superm1: ok, it should be easy enough to close the debconf frontend. if we start it, we ought to have some control over it [09:03] laga, like i said if you figure out how to, more power to you :) [09:04] ya, maybe i'll give it a try [09:04] had a different thought [09:04] i've seen we can "reconfigure" packages in the control centre. will this spawn this apt window? where you could set the password then? [09:05] Thanks for the help. Later. [09:06] laga, those reconfigure options dont call apt actually [09:06] they end up just rewriting out config files [09:10] ok. [09:18] that's part of the problem [09:18] those debconf questions aren't marked as 'seen' [09:19] so they get shown later if someone decides to use any type of update manager to update === Mind [n=chatzill@85.199.32.177] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [09:19] ah.
