[01:19] what does that mean? [01:19] what you mean proprietary stuff [01:19] libdvdcss2 [01:20] therethinker, do you remember where the control centre is from the frontend [01:20] System [01:20] Admin [01:20] i'd look, but the LSU kentucky game just went to OT [01:20] Good...for... you? [01:20] no, from inside the frontend [01:20] cool [01:20] Oh, I didn't know it was IN the frontend [01:20] i need to be watching that. i am watchin ou game [01:20] yep [01:21] Go Missiou [01:21] ou just intercepted [01:21] :( [01:21] anyway, i think in the frontend it is at [01:22] Settings > General Settings > Mythbuntu [01:22] ok then just type libdvdcss2? === Binary_Crap50 [i=1010101a@gateway/tor/x-1a5d82d6264b9e6b] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [01:23] no, then click on Proprietary codecs [01:23] then enable libdvdcss2 [01:25] ok i have a check box for enable prop codec support but the boxes below are greyed out [01:25] did you click enable medibuntu? [01:25] umm hold on it is doing something [01:26] downloading packages [01:26] good [01:26] uk about to scoore [01:28] uk scoressssssssssssssssssss [01:29] ok now i have the options [01:30] ffmpeg is checked [01:30] do i check the other 2 [01:30] ok, now you should be able to install libdvdcss2 [01:30] w32codecs also? [01:30] if you want, but it shouldn't be needed for dvd playback [01:30] for divx, xvid, etc probably [01:31] ok [01:31] ok it is installing packages [01:32] k [01:46] ok, that installed easy. i am now installing w32codecs [01:46] you could have installed both at the same time [01:48] i have a orange star should i install updates from here? [01:49] or do i have to quit? === katie- [n=katilici@EASTCAMPUS-THREE-FIFTY-THREE.MIT.EDU] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [01:51] ok i am installing updates from here [01:52] i am hoping this also corrects my 7 wired connection icons [01:52] i think theres another fix for that. You're not getting any more are you? [01:53] not sure. i will check. after i reboot [01:55] hey, simple question, whats the best way to reinstall mythbuntu? booting from the install disc, "install" and "start mythbuntu" are the same option, how can I start the installer instead of booting from the (broken) installation? [01:55] katie-, is your computer set to boot from CD first? [01:56] well, it isn't but it can be, I just go to the boot menu and tell it to load the cd [01:56] ok [01:57] well if you tell it to boot from cd, then just install it like you did the first time right over the existing installation [01:57] just make sure you tell it to format the partition [01:57] i guess the issue is the installer assumes that if you have mythtv, of course you'd rather boot from it and not install it again, but i accidentally killed something during installation, so it doesn't work right [01:57] the option on the menu is "Install or Start mythbuntu" [01:58] well thats because the live cd can be used as a frontend. You should be able to install from that. [01:58] or maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like I'm doing what I did to install it, and it just boots [01:58] hmm [01:58] ok [01:59] do you see grub come up at all? [02:00] no actually, i think thats part of the problem, the install stopped before grub started [02:00] well thats good [02:00] because if you tell it to boot from cd, then you shouldn't see grub [02:00] just booting from disc with no cd, i get something like no operating system found [02:00] ohh [02:01] ok [02:01] ok, then it is definetly booting from disk [02:01] if without disk it cannot get to the desktop [02:01] AFAIK, there is no code that changes between install and live. It's the same environment [02:02] is this the RC or an earlier CD? [02:03] if rc = the one out yesterday, then its that! [02:03] yea === Nixus_Maximus [n=simon@i577B4B17.versanet.de] has left #ubuntu-mythtv [] [02:05] its going again, I'll see if I can get the install now [02:05] ok, keep us updated [02:05] thanks! === billf [n=bill@203-214-21-112.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv === mindframe_ [n=mindfram@ip72-207-244-33.br.br.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [02:11] i just about have everything working ok - but the samba shares seem to disapear any idea's?

[02:35] even more then changing channels, I'd be stoked if I could record something [02:35] I have a USBUIRT [02:36] ahhh i dont have to worry about that - i just got plain jane DTV and i download the rest [02:36] its weird that live tv does fine.. but you ask it to record something and it thinks its recording but its not [02:36] Yeah, that's really odd [02:36] Suggley: sweeet deal there [02:36] You've set everything up, right? [02:36] sure have [02:37] I just dont understand.. I even rebooted [02:37] Hmm [02:37] I even reran the setup [02:38] hmm [02:40] what is lirc?

[02:46] Hmm... solar_: no clue, tgm4883 should be back soon to help [02:46] MythbuntuGuest nothings in great danger here [02:47] therethin: thanks for looking it up [02:47] correct but the only thing i can get to work is the weather [02:47] Solar_: sorry :( [02:48] anyone use automysqlbackup that can help me? [02:48] therethin: all we can do is try [02:50] G'Day all, i've just booted a mythbuntu 7.10 rom to try mythbuntu for the first time. When I pick "Start or Install" or "Start in safe graphics", after a short while, the screen freezes at the mythbuntu logo with the purple bar going back and forth. Any ideas? [02:50] how long was it going back and forth, and what are the approx system specs? [02:51] maybe 20-30 sec [02:51] its not a brilliant spec... 1.7ghz [02:51] hmm [02:51] how long was it going back and forth? [02:51] i think 380mb ram ... bit low i know [02:52] i can time it if you like... about 20-30 sec i think [02:52] anyone use automysqlbackup that can help me? ity's not running from cron.daily? [02:52] Wait, but how long did you leave it before you considered it frozen? [02:53] 380MB is a bit on the "edge" for the live CD [02:53] not exact time, but like 4 minutes, or an hour? [02:53] about 10min... caps, scroll etc stopped working and it needed a hard reset [02:53] just rebooted [02:53] Hm... I'll test it out with those specs [02:53] ill check timing [02:54] no [02:54] I don't need timing, I just wanted to know approx [02:54] like i said.... 20-30 sec [02:54] Give me 20 minutes to get the iso ;-) [02:54] do scripts in cron.daily need to be owned by rot? [02:54] root to run? [02:54] I think... [02:56] like i said.... 20-30 sec from when i select "Start or Install" [02:56] (what kind of mythbuntu dev am I, that doesn't have the ISO!? :P) [02:56] sorry, [02:56] Yeah, that's fine. I know I've thought it locked up, and I gave ti some time [02:56] Its not your fault :P [02:56] I should have gotten it by now [02:57] that was meant to be its 1min 20sec from hitting "Start or Install" [02:57] cool [02:57] is it possibly a driver issue at that stage? [02:58] I don't think so, SGM would have done it [02:58] and you would have gotten an error [02:58] I'm 90% sure it's a spec thing [02:58] ah ok... wierd [02:58] i figured its a bit on the low spec side, so im not expecting miracles [02:59] just thought it would be cool to try [02:59] No, it should work [02:59] i wouldnt really have expected a live distro to run in that sort of ram, but figured i might get the installer up... [03:00] Is there an option like "install from command line" or "alternate installer" [03:00] or "OEM install"? [03:01] cant remember, will have to reset to check [03:01] Try that out, if it exists [03:02] no menu option as such... there was accessibilty and options (F5 and F6 i think) [03:03] hmm [03:03] just running a "Check CD for defects" as well [03:03] the md5 of the iso was fine [03:03] Yeah, but after burning [03:03] and i verified the burn, but yeah, probably worth the check as well [03:06] is it safe to allow Feisty to upgrade mysql-server-5.0 [03:06] Don't know [03:08] turns out hitting esc will exit the menu to a text mode [03:08] ah [03:09] any suggestions for what i can use a the "boot:" prompt though? hitting enter goes back to the purple bar [03:16] bugger... gotta go.

[03:46] I was able to install on that with the beta [03:46] i've installed it in a 285MB VM [03:47] therethinker: it's like the linux-source package [03:47] it isn't really a package itself [03:47] but, can someone say "sudo apt-get install mythbuntu" and install everything? [03:47] but it is a group of packages that is referenced by a single package [03:47] I believe so [03:47] similar to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [03:47] (that's what I'm told... haven't done it yet) [03:47] you mean a meta-package? [03:47] yep [03:47] mythbuntu-desktop [03:51] tgm4883: I've been waiting for you to come back [03:52] solarbaby, can you give me 10 more minutes? [03:52] hey guys... [03:52] i need to run the GF somewhere then i will be back to help [03:52] having some problems with my tuner: [03:52] tgm4883: I've got myself a problem that I just can't seem to get through.. I've got the newest install of UbuntuMyth as of today.. Live to works great, but recordings say they are recording but just dont [03:52] tgm4883: sure [03:53] this is a thumbnail of a recording... every recording or live-tv looks like this: http://mitopia.net/files/1009_20071013043500.nuv.png [03:53] I had this problem in feisty with it, but I thought that it was due to a graphics problem... but I'm getting the same thing in a VMware install [03:54] (that pick is installed into a VMware VM) [03:54] *pick = pic [04:10] and im back [04:11] wb [04:11] tgm4883: Heya [04:12] MitoTranin, what card [04:12] solarbaby, what is the permissions of your recordings dir [04:12] tgm4883: im kinda stocking you cause im just desperate [04:12] Plextor TV402U [04:12] tgm4883: ;) [04:12] solarbaby, I guess thats ok. I'm in a good mood cause LSU lost ;) [04:13] MitoTranin, can you record outside of mythtv? [04:13] tgm4883: drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 2007-10-13 18:46 recordings [04:13] it's a specialized tuner that does on-the-fly divx encoding, MythTV is one of the few programs that are said can read it [04:13] it's works in Windows perfectly [04:14] but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it's default player/recorder (gorecord) to use the tuner instead of a video input [04:14] that just proves that the card isn't broke. I'm interested to make sure the correct drivers are loaded and such in linux [04:15] tgm4883: with live tv working so well, i can't imagine why i can record anything.. hehe.. i double checked my settings.. and I even put my normal log in user into the mythtv group [04:15] solarbaby, this is a default mythbuntu install? [04:16] tgm4883: yeah.. default and as recent as version 7.10rc [04:16] tgm4883: my tv tuner card is a Hauppauge 350 using Svideo 1 input [04:17] solarbaby, is nothing being recorded, or is something being recorded and it not showing up in the recorded programs list [04:18] tgm4883: It sez its recording anything I ask for.. but nothing records to the directory and nothing shows up in the frontend [04:18] tgm4883: my recording directory is set to default.. [04:18] so the recordings dir is empty then, hmm [04:18] what filesystem? [04:18] tgm4883: yeah there is a lock file that keeps getting created there [04:18] tgm4883: you know, im just not sure how do I check? [04:19] theres nothing like 3081_20071012233500.mpg in the dir? [04:19] no.. but if I watch live tv it leaves an mpeg [04:19] strange [04:21] MitoTranin, did you set up the recording profiles for the device? [04:21] I googled it and checked over the most common things I have found recommendations for [04:23] MitoTranin, also, you may want to skim some of this as it may help https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/px-tv402u-support [04:24] tgm4883: I'm the one that made that blueprint [04:25] and tgm4883, it depends on what you mean by the recording profile... [04:25] heh, so you've already seen it? [04:25] are you talking about the device settings in myth-setup? [04:25] heh, yeah [04:25] also, FYI, you would be the drafter of the blueprint [04:26] and there's lots more, but I was waiting until I actually got it functional before I added the more part [04:26] recording profiles should be under settings, general settings in the frontend (I think) [04:27] interesting... [04:27] solarbaby, is this a master backend? [04:27] I just saw an old MythTV mailing list article that said they could only watch the channel that gorecord told it to tune to [04:28] so I checked the options, and found how to get gorecord to tune into a channel, and got it to record, and it does, actually, record... kinda [04:28] tgm4883: yes [04:29] MitoTranin, kinda? [04:29] tgm4883: just a sec... [04:29] tgm4883: this keeps on reappearing in my recordings directory nfslockfile.lock [04:29] solarbaby, did you change the mysql.txt file at all [04:30] hello [04:30] $hello [04:30] Welcome to #Ubuntu-mythtv. Please state your question or comment. [04:31] tgm4883: I dont believe I did [04:31] solarbaby, anything in the backend log about it? [04:31] tgm4883: I have to find the log.. never seen it [04:32] tgm4883: I did change one thing [04:32] /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [04:32] I changed the mysql password for the mythtv user to an old_password so its compatable with mysql 4.0 [04:32] tgm4883: thanks [04:32] what do you mean old password? [04:32] any why do you need it to be compatible with mysql 4? [04:33] tgm4883: I have a xbox script that can connect to mythtv and schedule recordings and stuff.. but its only compatable with mysql 4.0 so I had to make the password use older scheme [04:33] where did you change that? [04:33] also, how did you get mysql 4 installed? [04:34] tgm4883: this is what I mean by kinda: http://mitopia.net/files/testing.avi [04:34] tgm4883: mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('secretmagicpasswd') WHERE User = 'live'; [04:35] that is with the gorecord program that comes with the tuner driver [04:35] tgm4883: I didn't install mysql to the backend [04:35] tgm4883: i mean i didn't install mysql 4.0 to the backend I left it alone, I just told it to use an older password scheme for mythtv user [04:35] MitoTranin, you're going to have to help me. Whats the problem there [04:35] ok, i tried the codec stuff and I still cant play dvd [04:35] did you watch it? [04:36] the video quality is utterly terrible [04:36] BUT: it does give video, and audio [04:36] solarbaby, did you tell the backend the new password? [04:36] the problem is that I still can't get MythTV to get even that much [04:36] MitoTranin, so just the quality is bad? [04:36] tgm4883: the new password is the old password [04:37] tgm4883: its just using a different scheme [04:37] ah [04:38] MythbuntuGuest14, does the dvd try to spin up when you tell it to play? [04:38] let me try again [04:39] no spin, no light. screen goes black and it comes back [04:39] ok [04:40] real fast less than half a second [04:40] did you set mythdvd so it knows where your dvd drive is? [04:40] umm no.. how? [04:40] sec [04:40] do you know which device your dvd drive is? [04:40] ie /dev/hdc [04:40] master?? [04:40] primary or secondary master [04:41] only have one hooked up [04:41] no cd [04:41] you have a hard drive hooked up? [04:41] secondary ide controler.. master on cable and jumpter [04:42] yes i got a hard drive. that is how i boot [04:42] ok [04:42] then it's secondary master i presume [04:42] which is [04:42] /dev/hdc [04:42] ok, now what? [04:43] should i check? [04:43] MythbuntuGuest14, Utilities/Setup > Setup > Media Settings > DVD Settings > General Settings [04:43] solarbaby, any backend log errors? [04:44] MitoTranin, so the gorecord program is able to tune and record [04:44] ok [04:44] now what [04:44] location of dvd device: /dev/dvd [04:44] set location of dvd device to /dev/hdc [04:45] ok got it. now try it?.. i clicked finish also [04:45] yes try it now [04:46] tgm4883: yes... but feel free to take care of the others, I can wait :) [04:46] MitoTranin, are you saying I can't defend the three man weave? [04:46] I'll even try to keep-up and chime in when I know something about it :) [04:46] lol [04:47] aww samething.. this is a new install.. anything I might of missed?
