[00:03] pigs will have wings in the next version? [00:04] you have no idea what thats gonna do for my love life! [00:04] woohoo, we've been made popular [00:04] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_7_10_Release_Final [00:05] \o/ [00:06] someone going to answer that last guys question on there about the live cd? [00:13] 95 diggs...wow [00:15] hello [00:15] anyone home? [00:15] yep [00:15] little crysis right now === MythbuntuGuest29 is now known as redsix [00:15] whats up [00:15] hm....what is the root-password....doesnt take the sudo passwort ! [00:15] it should be whatever you sent for the first user [00:15] no its not... [00:16] if i wanted to upgrade or reinstall Mythbuntu and keep my recorded programs, what part of the db do i need to export, just the recorded table? [00:16] ok give us a minute, we have to deal with something [00:16] no prob....seen your website has some probs [00:17] I tried the entire db, but that caused some issues, although my recorded shows were there, it broke som eother functions... [00:18] would just the recorded table work? [00:22] ? [00:23] tafkaz, okay no root password on ubuntu distros [00:23] use sudo [00:26] superm1, i know... [00:27] the problem was that the keyboard at in xfce is still us [00:27] which is odd cause in the terminal it is right....german [00:27] so whenever i typed in the users sudo password i mispelled it without knowing that [00:28] but...now that i found out i can go on configuring ! ;-) [00:28] hi superm1 [00:28] tafkaz, that's really odd [00:28] i'm surprised laga didn't catch it [00:28] hi redsix [00:29] well....just in case your planning to release some bug fix...:-) [00:29] frink_, your box is holding up it would appear :) [00:29] tafkaz, can you file a bug after things calm down? [00:29] well later yes.... [00:30] but now we re all busy arent we ? :-) [00:30] superm1, if i wanted to reload then restore my recordings, do i need the entire db or just the recorded table? [00:30] redsix, well that depends on if you want old recording lists too [00:30] * directhex needs to magic an extra 500 words from somewhere for his article [00:30] nom just whats on the 2nd hd as recorded shows [00:31] superm1, what does old recordoing lists provide? re-record info? [00:31] can't you just copy over the actuall recorded shows, and not mess with the DB? [00:31] redsix, yeah [00:31] dont reallt need that, it will just re-record some stuff right? [00:34] superm1, you ever used knoppmyth? [00:35] redsix, i tried to install it in a vm once [00:35] but it never worked [00:35] superm1, was curious if adding the restart and shutdown menu items to mythbuntu would be hard, like in a "Power" menu item as options [00:36] redsix, its one of our specs for hardy [00:36] just wasn't addressed for 7.10 [00:36] sweet [00:36] definitely like the new mythbuntu theme. thanks to whoever did that up :) [00:36] pdragon, juski did :) [00:36] its based off his old "free" blootube [00:36] superm1, do you know if there are any plans for ReplayTV support? [00:37] redsix, not that i know of right now [00:37] if you want to write a spec for it though [00:37] go for it [00:37] $spec [00:37] http://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec [00:37] mythbot on vacation? [00:38] pdragon, mythbot never seems to stay alive [00:39] * superm1 glares at therethinker [00:46] superm1, i just reinstalled and now it seems like the backend isn;t starting automatically, any clues? [00:46] redsix, check /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [00:47] likely permissions [01:03] what key changes what tuner i am curently watching? [01:04] Y i think [01:06] ty [01:43] im having a weird problem here, not sure whats to blame for it either [01:44] but when i watch TV with a PIP and switch, the screen i was watching rewinds all the way to the beginning where i started watching it [01:45] of course you could blame this on my ever dieing HDD and ill believe it :) [01:47] PIP works? [01:48] * tgm4883 hasn't tried it in ages [01:48] well it works in the sense that i can watch another screen. jsut switching between during commercials is useless [01:49] what are these commercials you speak of? [01:49] :) [01:49] you know those annoying things you are forced to watch durring live tv.... [01:49] live tv, im drawing a blank [01:50] haha [01:50] do you seriously not watch live tv? [01:50] nope [01:50] no point :) [01:50] wha? [01:50] live tv? [01:50] eh? [01:50] live sporting events [01:50] i dont watch sports personally [01:50] so no [01:50] sports is not the same recorded [01:51] sports is way better recorded [01:52] well im watching chuck, and trying to switch to Monday night football during the commercials, but everytime i switch my PIP it goes all the way back to the beginning of chuck [01:52] hmm [01:52] no way, if i waited to watch sports they would be spoiled for me. my friends would ruin everything [01:52] tazgodx, thats why you only wait about 45 minutes [01:52] then start watching [01:53] and chuck and heroes, my friend watches, and sends me texts wanting to discuss parts with me [01:53] during the show, so if i don't watch it live, that is also spoiled for me [01:53] heh, I haven't tried PIP since MajorIdiot told me it didn't work [01:53] at that was at the begining of feisty [01:53] s/at/and [01:56] well, besides that one problem, it looks like it works for me [01:56] i've seeded 7GB in an hour [01:56] sweet [01:56] my u/l speed SUCKS i couldn't do that [01:57] now if i could just find a good benchmark for my Hard drive [01:57] i'm using my school's connection [01:57] I had to remote desktop in to do that [01:58] i want to get a better connection to do that [02:00] foxbuntu!!! [02:00] did you digg it? [02:00] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_7_10_Release_Final [02:01] tgm4883 yes I did [02:01] ok [02:01] it's hard to tell [02:01] I see your back to being the Digg slut tonight [02:01] nope [02:01] not anymore [02:01] just to you [02:01] no need to :) [02:01] holy crap [02:01] :) [02:01] is our server dead yet? [02:01] thats awesome [02:01] no [02:02] our server is holding up very well [02:02] except for a small hiccup [02:02] that was our own fault [02:02] want to know something really awesome? [02:02] whats that? [02:03] I am like weeks away from filling my papers of Incoroporation [02:03] sweet [02:04] and we are going to smash our traffic records tonight [02:04] 1991 right now [02:04] already beat some [02:04] wild stuff [02:04] i think we beat the ISO d/l before we hit popular on digg [02:04] and hopefully tonight my stupid truck will be fixed [02:05] so its been a great day [02:05] wow almost a 50% dl rate today [02:05] thats impressive [02:06] yep [02:06] torrents are running great too [02:06] wow [02:07] arg we still don't have updated stats for most things :( [02:08] only through 4:00 CST [02:08] CST?

[02:08] ok [02:08] Wanted to be sure [02:08] yea [02:08] it think its that becuase I setup the acct [02:08] 55,411 total visiting since 9/10 [02:09] 222,203 page views [02:09] 200 more diggs to make the top 10 in tech [02:09] wow [02:09] and its only been there like 8 hours [02:14] tgm4883...uh you may want to look at the updated visitor numbers [02:14] it just updated [02:14] I just saw that [02:14] * tgm4883 jaw drops [02:14] we destroyed the records [02:15] * foxbuntu drools [02:15] look at the d/l [02:16] mine hasn't updated [02:16] 961 [02:16] still...holy crap [02:17] almost 6000 visitor tonight alone [02:17] thats insane [02:17] and we added 6 countries [02:17] foxbuntu, join -dev [02:18] we're looking over it in there === MythbuntuGuest21 is now known as stevetv [02:39] hello :) ... has something clever happened to the mythbuntu website and the forum? [02:39] like what? [02:40] stevetv, clever? [02:40] err.. well tgm i noticed you updated the mythbuntu page.. now it doesnt seem to fit on one page.. like the support button is on a different line. [02:41] if you're talking about the sweet new look then yes [02:41] hmm [02:41] looks alright to me [02:41] depends on the font that you have set for your web browser [02:41] whats clever about the forums? [02:42] and the forum seems way different.. wish i could post a frame grab. but there is a whole bunch of blue hyperlinks on the top of each page [02:42] maybe its just me.. cause the mythtv wiki seems screwy also.. [02:43] i wish you could too [02:43] because nothing was changed on the forum [02:43] does www.ubuntuforums.org look the same [02:44] its looks the same as the mythbuntu forum yes.. different to what it used to yes.. it must be my isp .. maybe theyre caching things differnet.. [02:44] http://img526.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshoter9.png [02:44] that is how they look for me [02:45] must be the sweetness of mythbuntu release [02:45] Mythbuntu - too powerful for the internet [02:45] only 223 people online right now [02:46] lol.. well its very different for me.. must be my isp. the bastards.. [02:46] tgm4883, remember everything on the website is 15 minutes delayed now [02:46] due to caching [02:46] stevetv, try restarting your web browser? [02:47] wait.. ill upload a screen shot.. just to applore that im not retarded.. [02:47] yup... done that.. i think ive got isp issues somehow [02:47] ah [02:52] naa... im not clever enough to upload a screenshot. im sure its just my isp.. [02:52] its not important anyway.. sorry to bother [02:54] ha .. works a treat using ms explorer.. my firefox settings must be screwy. [02:56] anyway.. tgm / superm1 .. im working on a script to automagically setup xmltv for australian users [02:56] stevetv, cool! [02:57] stevetv, that's be a great thing to include for 8.04 and put on the forums for people to use on 7.10 [02:57] i can write.. pretty much.. the script to run as a post install executable.. [02:58] stevetv, what language? [02:58] it just needs polishing.. but ill post it on the forum once its reasonable.. im not much of a programer [02:58] its python [02:59] stevetv, well if you abstract it well enough, perhaps it can grow into a generalized script [02:59] for people to use [02:59] and then eventually add on pyGTK gui to possibly [02:59] yes that was my hope [02:59] im not entirely sure.. possibly it could be improved to apply to other tv_grab_xx as well .. [02:59] yeah it can then become *the way* to setup xmltv :) [03:00] lol... [03:01] actually.. i won't bother asking you guys much.. the forums a good place for it so someone better than i can polish it up [03:04] stevetv, well if we rowl up some more python guys this friday [03:04] that can be something they might want to take up [03:04] can you right a spec for it? [03:04] *write [03:08] yeah .. im just about to get on a plane do fly to brisbane tho. I'm away till next wednesday. [03:09] I'm just post what i have on the forum next week ... i used it already.. it works fine.. ill leave it to someone with more than my over so slight skill to make it more user friendly [03:10] stevetv, okay sounds good [03:13] currently.. each user will need to modify the script to reprent their location of the .xmltv file .. so mine is /home/steve/.mythtv/"$SOURCENAME'.xmltv .. i can't figure out a way to automate that .. but im sure it's possible [03:14] anyway... i wont waste your time.. have fun. im on holidays as of now so i don't care about anything.. enjoy [04:16] superm1: how was your test today? [04:16] tritium, less than optimal actually. [04:16] oh, sorry to hear that. How about your interview? Or is that later this week? [04:16] tritium, that went pretty good. [04:16] Great! [04:17] The mythbuntu intsallation went very well for me with the alt key allowing me to re-position the ubiquity windows :) [04:17] tritium, there was a bug filed today about making ubiquity work on low res displays [04:17] so hopefully that ends up happening [04:17] so you dont need to do things like that [04:17] cool, did you file that? [04:17] but great that it worked [04:18] Yeah, thanks again :) [04:18] no someone else did. i get all the ubiquity bug mail [04:18] so i saw it fly by [04:18] cool [04:18] bug 155107 [04:18] if you want to subscribe to it [04:18] * superm1 kicks ubotu [04:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155107 [04:19] Thanks! [04:19] Only annoyance now is the slight overscan problem I have. [04:19] that can be adjusted in nvidia-settings in mcc [04:19] And I still need to enable XvMC [04:20] I'll work on that, but I've been unable to correct it to date. [04:20] hm [04:36] I'm thinking about installing the mail server task on the box... [04:38] tritium, i like that as an idea [04:38] like something that can email you when things go astray? [04:39] That's one idea, but mainly because all of my current email accounts are either forward-only, or webmail-only accounts. [04:39] I want to run my own server so I can use a mail client like evolution. [04:40] ah yeah [04:41] I have dyndns, so I believe I can do it. === MythbuntuGuest63 is now known as DrtyVicar [05:04] hello? can anyone paste the MD5? I was able to download the ISO but cant get the md5 to verify it. [05:04] sorry, the md5 for mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso [05:05] the md5 files should be posted on the website [05:05] is a download link for some reason & apparently it's now swamped... [05:05] yes it SHOULD be posted as text... [05:06] http://mythbuntu.org/download/?file=mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso.md5sum [05:07] it's impossible to be swamped... there's a pool of almost a dozen mirrors [05:07] did you bother to click on that? I get a blank tab & no test or download... still... [05:07] anyways, here's the text of the md5 file that I got when I clicked the link I just posted... [05:07] 4608c04122a65d828c3417f330e3eee0 mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso [05:07] yes I actually gave you the link, then clicked on it [05:07] can you tell me what mirror you're getting those errors from? [05:07] wierd I get nothing... been like that since 9:30 [05:08] what mirror is it trying? [05:08] when you click on the link, what is the location it tries to grab it from? [05:08] I cant tell. i just a blank tab with the address of http://www.mythbuntu.org/download/?file=mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso.md5sum [05:09] It might be this stupid windows machine... [05:09] can you do a shift+refresh of the main download page, and then try again? [05:09] sure brb [05:09] * MitoTranin is using a windows machine, using firefox [05:09] me too but this one is ready for reinstallation... [05:11] DrtyVicar, where are you located? [05:11] chicago [05:11] do you happen to know which mirror it was trying to d/l from? [05:11] ok I tried that IE too and disabling my firewall to boot no joy [05:12] how could i tell? [05:12] it would be in the address bar [05:12] looks something like this [05:12] http://us-az.cdimages.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso.md5sum [05:12] it would be the [05:12] us-az part [05:12] http://www.mythbuntu.org/download/?file=mythbuntu-7.10-i386.iso.md5sum is all it says [05:12] ok [05:13] and a little download box doesn't pop up? [05:13] it's opening in a new tab no no box, [05:13] i got the ISO ok [05:13] i should probally reboot & try again [05:14] this pos if getting pretty flaky [05:14] if = is [05:14] ok, let me know if it persists [05:14] I can't get it to duplicate here [05:15] good news is that the md5 is a match, Thanks! [05:15] I'll be darned if I can't get vnc or a remote myth frontend to work! [05:16] tritium: did you static the IP after enabling those options? [05:16] MitoTranin: yes [05:16] thaks 4 the help! I have to go play now [05:16] it's a bug that I found, and reported, that if you static the IP after making those options, then they no longer work [05:17] MitoTranin: did you find a work-around? [05:17] I had to do a reformat anyways for a different reason, so I didn't really work on it too much [05:17] and when I reformatted, the first thing I did was static the IP [05:17] then after that, I enabled the others, and it worked like a charm [05:18] as for the vnc I would suggest just disabling it and then re-enabling it [05:18] Shoot, I'm too far along to reinstall. [05:18] Did you try disabling/enabling in MCC? [05:19] I did, and it didn't work, but there were many other problems that I was having that could have had effect [05:19] that, and it was the beta, not release [05:19] so bugs have been fixed, etc [05:19] I'm working with the reelase. [05:19] so I would definitely try it [05:19] release* [05:19] I guess I will. [05:22] Disabling the MySQL service seems to have hung on "Configuring MySQL tweaks"... [05:24] tgm4883: any ideas? [05:25] tritium, hm that's not good. [05:26] tritium, did apport catch it? [05:26] or is it just sitting there [05:26] superm1: apport? [05:26] crash reporting service [05:26] I Ctrl-Ced it. Now I can't re-enable MySQL [05:26] No, it didn't. [05:26] tritium, can you launch it from a command line? [05:26] MCC? yes [05:26] /usr/share/mythbuntu-control-centre/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre [05:26] like that [05:27] sudo /usr/share/mythbuntu-control-centre/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre [05:27] actually [05:27] one sec... [05:27] hopefully catch a backtrace [05:27] okay [05:28] MySQL Server Information is all greyed out now on the MythTV Configuration tab. [05:28] is it still a master backend role? [05:28] oh not there. [05:28] the services tab [05:28] Primary Backend yes [05:29] MySQL Service is greyed out on that tab. [05:29] well that's really odd. [05:29] Can't do anything to that control. [05:29] can you check and make sure that mysql-server is still installed? [05:29] i wonder what you did to get it into this weird state [05:29] No, I saw it being uninstalled when I disabled it. [05:29] Just like vnc-server was uninstalled when I disabled that. [05:30] mysql-server-5.0 is installed [05:30] but not mysql-server [05:30] install mysql-server [05:30] but not mysql-server [05:30] what did you disable to cause it to be removed? [05:31] MySQL Service on the System Services tab [05:31] wow that's very odd [05:31] I thought so too, as was the removal of the vnc server package on disabling that. [05:31] well you probably should have just "reconfigured" it [05:32] not disabled it [05:32] Okay, had to quit/restart MCC, but it's there now. [05:32] reconfiguring didn't work, though [05:32] Still can't VNC to box. [05:32] it didn't? [05:32] Hm. [05:32] nope [05:32] you restarted X [05:32] after reconfiguring it? [05:32] No [05:32] haha [05:32] well that's it [05:32] Didn't know to. [05:32] it starts the vnc server as an X module [05:32] I see. [05:32] i guess that needs to be indicated [05:33] So, "MySQL Server Information" is still grayed out. [05:33] can you file a bug against MCC that a message telling you to restart needs to be put in place for multiple areas [05:33] What other areas? [05:34] well there are other similar situations [05:34] I can, but I'm only aware of the vnc case. [05:34] i anticipate [05:34] like changing autologin [05:34] or the autologin user [05:34] Okay. Now, should the mysql info be greyed out on the mythtv config tab? [05:35] is mythtv-database installed still? [05:35] yes [05:36] woah yuck i just tested that on my system. that is bad that you can remove the mysql server so easily [05:36] wow. [05:36] How did you test? [05:36] installed a master backend role [05:36] and then enabled the mysql service [05:37] can you file a bug about that too actually? [05:37] that disabling "MySQL service shouldn't remove mysql-server" [05:37] yes [05:37] now the thing is after changing that setting, it doesn't restart mysqld [05:37] so it odesnt take effect until you restart mysql or restart the comp [05:38] which is probably why it seemed like it wasn't working [05:38] (Another item that needs to be addressed) [05:38] I've tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database", which failed the first time. [05:39] I then "sudo invoke-rc.d mysql restart", and then retried the above, which appeared to work. [05:39] still greyed out in mcc, though [05:40] well the only code that ungreys that checks to make sure "mysql-server" and "mythtv-database" [05:40] are installed [05:40] note that's mysql-server [05:40] not mysql-server-5.0 [05:40] (which I reinstalled) [05:41] Hm [05:41] ii mysql-server 5.0.45-1ubuntu3 MySQL database server (meta package dependin [05:41] ii mysql-server-5.0 5.0.45-1ubuntu3 MySQL database server binaries [05:41] okay [05:41] what aobut this [05:41] are you missing a file /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf? [05:41] nope [05:42] [mysqld] [05:42] bind-address=0.0.0.0 [05:43] and I just checked -- mythweb tells me database access denied [05:43] wow. how did things get so broke? [05:43] simply by disabling MySQL server. [05:43] Nothing more. [05:44] that's crazyness :) [05:44] And I did that because mythfrontend wasn't working (both from ubuntu-desktop install, and mythbuntu livecd) [05:44] superm1: now that he mentions all this, this happened to me to with the beta [05:44] because mysqld hadn't been restarted [05:44] and I reported it etc [05:44] MitoTranin, you reported this exact issue? [05:44] yes [05:44] i thought we had resolved issues you reported [05:44] lets see [05:44] MitoTranin, do you have a bug number? [05:44] MitoTranin mentioned these problems occur if you change your IP to static after install. [05:45] it all was caused when I changed my IP from dhcp to static after enabling such things [05:45] well because mysqld needs to be restarted [05:45] because of my overscan, I couldn't even see the network-manager applet, so I didn't think to config network at that time [05:45] vnc didn't work, and I couldn't get anything remote (such as remote frontend or mythweb) to work [05:45] mythweb had worked prior to this mess [05:45] but mythweb worked fine when browsed by the local machine [05:46] superm1: I'll look to see if I can find the bug number [05:46] check your launchpad page, MitoTranin ? [05:46] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/%7Emito-im/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INVALID&field.status%3Alist=WONTFIX&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.status%3Alist=FIXRELEASED&assignee_option [05:46] =any&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.bug_contact=&field.bug_commenter=&field.subscriber=&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch.used=&field.tag=&field.has_cve.used= [05:46] MitoTranin, that shows all the bugs you had reported [05:47] hmm... [05:47] you know, I remember now [05:48] I went to put this bug report in, then talked about it in the chan first, and ended up reporting bug 150389 [05:48] MitoTranin: so, you have to set the IP static while running the LiveCD before you launch the installer? [05:48] as the solution, but it didn't say the reason... [05:48] silly/stupid me [05:48] but we did talk about it in the channel a lot [05:49] tritium: no, I installed the system, rebooted into the main system, and then the first thing I did was exit the frontend that auto-started up and then staticed the IP [05:49] rebooted, then continued from there [05:49] (well, that's what I ended up having to do to solve the issue) [05:49] But you setup mysql root password, etc. during install [05:49] yes [05:49] * tritium thinks this calls for a reinstall [05:50] tritium: sorry, if I had remembered that this was the result of disabling it, I really would have tried to stop you from doing it :) [05:50] well i knew if there was anything that would screw up with release it would be something mysql server related. [05:50] but I didn't remember that this was the result of that [05:50] MitoTranin: :) [05:51] superm1: do you want me to create an account for you on my machine to do some detective work? [05:51] superm1: that's why I made that bug/suggestion about the static IP though, as an avoidance of this [05:51] tritium, MitoTranin well please get all this into bugs :) [05:51] Or shall I reinstall? [05:51] tritium, actually yeah can you do that quickly [05:51] one sec [05:51] i'd like to poke really quick [05:51] I'll report the bug now [05:51] MitoTranin, unfortunately setting up static before hand is a bit troublesome to put into the installer :( [05:51] thanks guys :) [05:53] tritium: I just remembered [05:53] MitoTranin: what? [05:53] or rather, though [05:53] thought [05:53] when I installed, I did the typical install [05:53] I didn't do advanced [05:54] so when you asked about the mysql password, I don't know the answer really [05:54] but I would not enable the remote front-end option until after you setup the static IP [05:56] ah okay [05:56] I did advanced [05:57] Thanks, MitoTranin, superm1 [06:00] MitoTranin: so you got mythfrontend to work finally? [06:00] and vnc? [06:01] tritium, after you restart X hopefully VNC should be good now [06:01] !bug 156087 [06:01] MitoTranin, ubotu broke somehow [06:01] superm1: That would be cool. I'll try that. [06:01] and so did mythbot [06:01] ouch [06:01] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/156087 [06:01] frontend still not working, though [06:01] tritium: I got it working via a reinstall.... :( [06:02] MitoTranin, could you actually link that to a separate bug? [06:02] i'm pretty sure that will get overlooked and forgotten there [06:02] given that static ip addy's will be a tough problem to solve [06:02] so superm1, how much has changed in mythbuntu since the last time I tried it? [06:02] Mersault|Home, when's last you tried it? [06:03] RC2 [06:03] superm1: so you want them listed as two separate bugs then? [06:03] Mersault|Home, we had an RC2? [06:03] lol [06:03] i thought we only had a RC [06:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1230/ <--mythfrontend error from CLI [06:03] that was my first thought :) [06:03] MitoTranin, yeah sep bugs if you can [06:03] ah, then that would have been it [06:04] Mersault|Home, bug fixes in the installer and a new default theme [06:04] excellent. I ran into some weird problems with the installer last time [06:04] tritium: try installing mysql-server via apt-get and command line [06:04] tritium, did you reset the normal mythtv mysql password somehow? [06:04] MitoTranin: it's installed [06:04] but I did get it so that mythfrontend did work after screwing it up like that [06:04] yes, but try it again [06:05] tritium, oh [06:05] superm1: it's definitely not what I setup during install. It's totally random, but I've copied that [06:05] rm ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt [06:05] ah... [06:05] no, that has the right password [06:05] yeah the systemwide /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt is what you should be using [06:06] that has the right password? [06:06] yes [06:06] DBHostName=localhost [06:06] DBUserName=mythtv [06:06] DBName=mythconverg [06:06] DBPassword=wFI2Kyjt [06:06] can you try to connect to mysql manually with it? [06:06] oh wait [06:06] DBHostName=192.168.1.100 [06:06] DBUserName=mythtv [06:06] DBPassword=wFI2Kyjt [06:06] DBName=mythconverg [06:06] DBType=QMYSQL3 [06:06] i see three different hostnames here [06:06] localhost [06:06] 1.100 [06:06] 1.2 [06:06] what is it supposed to be? [06:07] first paste is from the backend [06:07] second paste is from the laptop [06:07] backend is at 192.168.1.100 [06:07] laptop is 192.168.1.2 [06:07] where is that pastebin from then? [06:08] running "mythfrontend" from CLI on laptop [06:08] tritium, launch MCC on the laptop [06:08] and on the mythtv configuration tab [06:08] double check the info there [06:08] and hit the test mysql button [06:08] I don't have MCC on laptop. I installed mythtv-frontend [06:08] superm1: how do I make the bug reports related? [06:09] ie: I just submitted the 2nd, but how do I link them? [06:09] MitoTranin, just add a comment between in them [06:09] with a link to the other one [06:09] ah, np [06:09] tritium, that pastebin you posted showed it trying to connect to mysql on the laptop [06:09] which won't work [06:09] superm1: but when I tried the livecd, it never worked [06:10] it needs to connect to 192.168.1.100 [06:10] I think that's the server rejecting the request from 192.168.1.2 [06:11] okay lets start from the backend and work forward [06:11] https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/156089 [06:11] do a netstat -ant | grep 3306 [06:11] on the backend [06:12] make sure its listening on all ports [06:13] Shall I pastebin the output? [06:13] tritium, sure [06:13] I see ports 41035 through 41048 listed for 192.168.1.2 [06:13] superm1: interesting non-related problem that might be a bug [06:14] how come people find bugs *after* release. :( [06:14] what's that MitoTranin ? [06:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1232/ [06:14] do you remember my problem with not being able to delete my recordings etc when they are stored on my network share? [06:14] tritium, okay so its listening on the correct ports [06:14] tritium, next thing [06:14] good... [06:15] try to connect from the backend via command line [06:15] mysql -umythtv -p [06:15] superm1: I have had this problem since I got my tuner to work, which was around rc, but I hadn't narrowed it down yet enough to file a bug [06:15] and then type your password thats in mysql.txt [06:15] from which machien? [06:15] MitoTranin, no i dont recall that problem [06:15] machine* [06:15] tritium, from the backend [06:15] want to isolate the issue [06:16] superm1: ok, well I was initially having problems with my backend not starting due to the nfslockfile.lock file not being removed when the backend stopped [06:16] no worky [06:16] (access denied, blah blah) [06:16] so to get the backend to run again I would have to remove the file manually, then restart the backend [06:16] tritium, okay then i suspect your backend isn't working either. [06:17] tritium, in terms of mythbackend process [06:17] then I found these messages in the backend log: [06:17] 2007-10-22 06:26:08.280 Error deleting '/data/mythtv/recordings/1010_20071017001445.nuv' could not open [06:17] eno: Permission denied (13) [06:17] 2007-10-22 06:26:08.284 Delete Error '/data/mythtv/recordings/1010_20071017001445.nuv' [06:17] eno: Permission denied (13) [06:17] 2007-10-22 06:26:08.285 Error deleting file: /data/mythtv/recordings/1010_20071017001445.nuv. Keeping metadata in database. [06:17] tritium, can you dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [06:17] and make sure you put in the correct root password [06:17] when it asks you for it [06:18] So, I then su'd to the mythtv user and he can remove the files without problems etc [06:18] which is that random string from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt ? [06:18] MitoTranin, it sounds like the mythtv backend process doesn't have write access [06:18] tritium, no [06:18] very odd [06:18] tritium, that's whatever you set when you first installed [06:18] in the advanced install [06:18] I'll try [06:18] well, the mythtv user can remove without problems... [06:18] done [06:18] tritium, okay well try again now [06:18] just now I manually started the backend process via console (where before I would always use the init.d/rc.d scripts) [06:19] no luck [06:19] and now it works perfectly when deleting them [06:19] so I checked again what the difference was... [06:19] the only difference is that when root deletes the file, it just deletes it. when the mythtv user deletes the file, it asks if I'm sure [06:20] tritium, okay one more idea here. dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common. set all the stuff that is in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [06:20] and then dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database one last time [06:20] superm1: this is the result of the delete commands when used as the mythtv user: [06:20] $ rm deleteme [06:20] rm: remove write-protected regular empty file `deleteme'? y [06:20] it will reset the password to the info that it gets from when you set mythtv-common [06:21] MitoTranin, that's normal for any user [06:21] okay [06:21] MitoTranin, how did you login as the mythtv user? [06:21] fstab [06:21] well... [06:21] MitoTranin, well you can't login as the mythtv user that way [06:22] just then I did a sudo su to get a root console [06:22] and then I did a su mythtv [06:22] to get a mythtv console [06:22] okay [06:22] I'm in... [06:22] tritium, okay that worked? [06:22] yes [06:22] tritium, okay phew [06:22] Thanks :) [06:22] that was way more hectic than it should have been [06:22] I'm sorry. [06:24] cool, frontend works too :) [06:24] thanks, superm1 [06:24] tritium, no prob [06:25] tritium, but was this all from just disabling mysql-server? [06:25] or were you fsck'ing with passwords and stuff before? [06:25] Yes, superm1. Without a doubt. [06:25] Nope. [06:25] my gosh [06:25] that's really bad. [06:25] And remember, I disabled it because none of these remote services were working. [06:26] all due to setting a static IP [06:26] Now, I'm trying to recall which bugs I have to file... [06:26] which is something that all primary-backends should have [06:26] 1) vnc reconfigure needs to notify to restart X session [06:26] mysql-server being remove MitoTranin made [06:26] okay [06:26] but mysql-server needs to be restarted when that happens either way [06:28] superm1: so, about the files being removed... [06:28] anything else for me to report? mythweb and frontend breakage appear related to mysql-server being removed, yes? [06:28] the permisions before were set as -rwxrw-rw- [06:29] but that wasn't working, so I changed some options and they were then -rwxrwxr-x [06:29] ah, mythweb access denied again.. [06:30] dpkg-reconfigure appears to have fixed... [06:30] now, why was that necessary? [06:31] foxbuntu: Hit me with pm if you are around. [06:31] foxbuntu: I will have those bits for you, but I would like you to have the final cluster of tones and such for approval etc. [06:32] tritium, hopefully you dont have to do that once again [06:33] but please file a bug against mcc for mythweb reconfigure not working as well [06:33] MitoTranin, this all seems rather odd [06:33] superm1: yes... I know.... which is why I hadn't filed a bug report yet, since it's so odd that it might not actually be a bug [06:33] superm1: okay, I hope I can keep all the cause/effect straight in all of this... [06:34] my network storage is on a debian system that I'm using as a NAS [06:34] via a samba share [06:34] tritium, yeah a lot of the cause and effect here are related but i suspect that they were not directly from the removal of mysql-server [06:34] but rather steps done after that [06:34] the samba share right now is set to assign the file and directory mode 777 to all new files and directories [06:34] to try to to resolve $things [06:35] it used to be set to assign all files and directories to the nobody group too, but since that wasn't working, I removed that [06:35] perhaps, although there wasn't much that I did before you came around and helped [06:35] tritium, well its the stuff after i came and helped here [06:35] that mixed around things [06:35] ah [06:35] particularly the dpkg-reconfigure's [06:36] it is also set to be "read/write to all known users" [06:36] MitoTranin, what is it mounted using? [06:36] smbfs? [06:36] cifs [06:36] smbfs gives mounting errors [06:36] well, not errors, but it doesn't actually mount properly on boot [06:37] fstab entry is: //192.168.200.15/risk /data/nas-mounts/risk cifs username=tvmyth,password=mythtv 0 0 [06:37] if I change the cifs to smbfs, it works fine if I mount manually via mount -a [06:38] but during bootup it locks those dirs and any program that tries to access them [06:38] i'm really not sure [06:38] but the cifs works fine [06:38] as far as the share goes (it always mounts without problems, etc) [06:38] and it is mounting properly [06:38] and all users, including the mythtv user, can delete the files via the share [06:39] and they can write the files there [06:39] but when the backend is started via the init.d script, it gives the cannot delete error [06:39] I have it started via a root console and they are deleting perfectly fine [06:39] I'll be back... [06:40] MitoTranin, [06:40] do you perhaps need a 'user' parameter [06:40] in that mount command [06:41] I don't know why I would... it works properly, as far as all the files being accessible etc [06:41] recordings are being made properly etc [06:41] I can touch new files [06:41] all while su'd into the mythtv user even [06:42] Cool, VNC works now, as you said it would, superm1 :) [06:42] :) [06:42] tritium, did you not activate it during ubiquity? [06:42] or were things broken off ubiquity? [06:42] here is a question [06:43] I managed to screw up a recording playing around in edit mode [06:43] now I made a backup first, so I restored that [06:43] but my 30 second skips are all crazy, jumps 10 mins at one point, and then jumps all the way to the end again later [06:43] something in the db I need to clear out? [06:44] superm1: I don't recall for sure, but I thought that I did. [06:44] rhpot1991, just hit Q [06:44] in edit mode [06:44] to clear the edit points [06:44] superm1: I think MitoTranin said it breaks if you change to a static IP post-install. [06:44] still doing it [06:44] tritium: no... [06:44] no? [06:44] tritium: I got it to work by setting it to static in the post-install [06:44] tritium, well that shouldn't be the case, just restart X after turning on static ip [06:45] BUT, it has to be the FIRST thing you do [06:45] hmm [06:46] q removes them, but it doesn't seem to save it [06:46] cause if I go back in to edit again and hit z, they come back up [06:46] well hit escape when you are done [06:46] ya did that [06:51] superm1: I really need to get to bed [06:51] I'll catch you later about this delete file oddity [06:51] okay [06:51] night mindframe [06:51] or MitoTranin [06:51] :) [06:51] lol [06:51] :) [06:51] night [06:54] Good night, MitoTranin. Thanks again. [06:56] Good night, superm1. I'd best file those bugs tomorrow. I need some sleep before work. [06:56] tritium, okay great :) [06:56] try to remember to do so, i know i'll forget about them otherwise [06:56] Thanks again. Have a good night. [06:56] night [06:56] I will. [06:56] got it fixed, had to use mythcommflag --rebuild [08:00] just wondering ... how do people connect their pvr to the home TV box (I'm currently using uverse from att, but I think the same would be true of dishtv or any service that requires a set-top box)... is doing the ir-blaster the only way to do it? or are there simpler ways? [08:53] tgm4883_laptop: i can digg it \o/ [14:03] How do I disable all of the baloon notices pop up, like "Software Updates Available" ? === pdragon_ is now known as pdragon [17:19] superm1: I'm accessing my mythbox from home. Normally, when I go to http://my.server.example.com, I see two directories: apache2-default, and mythweb. Now, mythweb doesn't show (even though the symlink is there in /var/ww), but if I go to http://my.server.example.com/mythweb, mythweb does load. And after mythweb loads, refreshing http://my.server.example.com will them show the mythweb dir. [17:19] Is this expected behavior? [17:20] Is something hiding the mythweb dir from being viewed at the root level? [17:29] I've not seen mythweb or apache2 act this way in past installatinos. [17:29] installations* [17:30] are you sure that you weren't loading a cached root page previously? [17:35] tritium, mythweb is hidden by default [17:37] tritium: don't forget to file those bug reports from last night into the mythbuntu bug tracker please! :) [17:37] https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ [17:38] and on that note, I need to head out and actually do some work... later all [18:04] MitoTranin: I will, after work [18:04] tgm4883: that's a new feature? [18:05] tgm4883: i.e., mythweb was not hidden by default in feisty [18:06] tritium, true, it has to do with now using schedules direct [18:06] afaik [18:06] ah, I see. [18:06] Thanks! [18:06] because people will access it over the net [18:06] Where is that setting made? apache config file somewhere? [18:07] SD doesn't want you to start hosting channel data [18:07] hmm [18:07] probably in the .htaccess for mythweb [18:11] Thanks, tgm4883 [18:11] Glad it's not another bug :) [18:39] hi [18:40] hi [18:40] mythbuntus install went pretty fine [18:40] i only need some little answers...havin had myth running under gnome before....where dfo i put my gnomerc equivalent ? [18:41] i need to start nvidiasettings [18:41] you can start that from mythbuntu control center [18:41] and i didnt get my lircrc to be read... [18:41] hm....going there moment [18:42] ok where can i set nvisia-settings to be loaded on startup ? [18:42] wait, why would you want to load that on startup? [18:43] /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -l [18:43] to have my screen maximezed ! [18:43] that was the line i started in a .gnomerc file [18:45] another one....how to start mythwelcome instead of mythfrontend at startup ? [18:45] tafkaz, you need to make sure to setup your settings in niviia-settings for that user and the it will write a conf in the users ~./ to keep those settings [18:45] your screen should be maximized from startup. nvidia-settings should be adjusting xorg.conf to do so [18:46] hm....well i wasnt very happy with the generated xorg.conf so i took my own working one....maybe i should look into that then [18:48] hm cant find anything in the old xorg.conf that would load nvidia-setting's settings [18:48] look at the differences in the screen section [18:49] Modes "nvidia-auto-select" [18:49] is that it ? [18:49] tafkaz, no [18:49] well... [18:49] thats an app that selects the res based on probing info from the monitor [18:50] there is no other line that would load settings [18:51] actually my screen section is huge.... [18:51] and the old one is small [18:51] but the picture is much beter now [18:53] also i copied my working lircrc file into /home/user [18:53] what else do i have to do to make it be the one ? [18:57] i never worked with xfce....so i dont know [19:11] hm...irw says connection refused [19:24] ok....dont get my remote to work....have a perfect lircrc here...have the lircd.conf ond hardware.conf from my last installation....but i just dont get it to work like it used to [19:24] i only have basic functions [19:24] like up down aso [19:26] m......this is odd....i actually like the whole idea of mythbuntu...but it all worked on ubuntu 7.04 [19:29] tafkaz, what remote are you using? [19:29] haupauge nova-s [19:29] what buttons are you having trouble with? [19:29] plus [19:30] actually i really only have some basic buttons... [19:30] and which remote did you select in the Remote Setup? [19:30] not even back worx [19:30] i used all three haupauges [19:30] but i do have a copy of my working lirc files... [19:30] hardware.conf & lircd.conf [19:31] I don't think that remote is currently supported by Lirc is why...and becasue of that I wasn't able to add support for it (I manage remote support) [19:31] and i have a very long and individual lircrc [19:31] it worked a week ago on 7.04 [19:31] perfectly [19:31] with Mythbuntu? [19:31] but now that you say it.... [19:32] no with ubuntu and your weekly builds.... [19:32] but now it comes to my mind, that i built my own lirc then or found some other lirc.deb somewhere [19:32] because it worx with the latest version of lirc [19:33] we only support what upstream Lirc does...however alot of unsupported remotes can be configured to be used with Lirc, just not via our remote config system [19:33] do you know some deb ? [19:33] no [19:41] damn [19:48] Daviey: fglrx 8.42.3 was released [19:48] Daviey, have fun with it :) [19:56] i will try and build my lirc from cvs... [20:00] you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver [20:00] but it is installed [20:00] linux-source and linux-headers [20:04] argh [20:05] what kernel-src could configure mean....

[20:15] $wiki [20:15] MythTV -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [20:16] $theend is the beginning is the end [20:16] Although I didn't know, ubotu says: Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops. Thank you for your attention to detail [20:16] aw poot. mythbot's much less fun than dpkg [20:16] :P [20:16] Although I didn't know, ubotu says: LjL wants you to know: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops... [20:16] Oh crap [20:17] yeah, #ubuntu-ops meaning the main ops channel [20:17] Well, no [20:17] I'm thinking that phenny might be in a conversation w/ ubotu :P [20:18] it;'s still smelly, and less fun than dpkg! [20:19] $diggit [20:19] Why haven't you dugg it? http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_7_10_Release_Final Once you digg it.

[20:25] define sexy before tgm goes and gives feedback... [20:25] he qualifies, you don't ;) [20:26] tgm4883, sure is not the person you want [20:27] Foxbuntu, dispite his foxy handle, is not foxy at all [20:27] and despite your pseudonym, you don't think freely at all? [20:28] Shh! [20:28] and contrary to you're handle, you prefer to count in binary, not hex [20:29] indirectly of course [20:29] And contrary to YOUR handle, you were not born on 4/8/83... [20:29] don't forget that tgm doesn't stand for The Great Man [20:30] Ooh [20:30] I thought it was completely random [20:30] nope [20:30] everyone tries to be random these days [20:30] i prefer not to be a sheep :) [20:31] so instead of being random, i try to be unrandom [20:31] :P [20:31] Pass the salt, please [20:33] $shrink foxbuntu [20:33] Sorry, foxbuntu is beyond help. [20:34] so true [20:34] you got that right [20:34] heh [20:34] you should ask my poor wife about that [20:34] more like [20:34] $shrink mythbot [20:34] :P [20:34] Sorry, mythbot is beyond help. [20:34] :P [20:34] $shrink tgm4883 [20:34] Sorry, tgm4883 is beyond help. [20:37] Can someone help me get a ati usb remote to work in mythbuntu? [20:37] NeoFax, use MCC [20:37] I tried to use the mythbuntu center, but it does not work [20:37] $man tgm4883 [20:37] tgm4883 is the man, and don't forget it [20:37] I only get basic functionality [20:37] explain further [20:38] who set the man command? [20:38] I have atiusb driver installed and running in 2.6.22-14 kernel on the most current gutsy kubuntu setup [20:38] $man laga [20:38] Neither I, ubotu, or Wikipedia knows about "man laga", sorry. [20:38] oh, nevermind [20:39] When I push buttons on my remote nothing happens in mythtv. however, in KDE i can move the mouse and use the pseudo mouse buttons [20:39] which remote did you select in MCC? [20:39] These r the only buttons that work on the remote [20:39] * directhex prods tgm4883 [20:39] ATI kernel [20:40] did you have the Frontend running when you made the change? [20:41] Yes [20:41] fine then, /me tries therethinker [20:41] what? Oh, I need to fix that [20:41] I got inturrupted [20:42] $slap directhex [20:42] /action slaps directhex [20:42] that's odd... [20:42] * therethinker slaps directhex [20:43] * directhex beats therethinker with a herring [20:43] :P [20:43] does that show up for you? [20:43] it doesn't for me, it says "/action slaps directhex" [20:43] mythbot isn't doing it right yet [20:43] what is it supposted to be? [20:44] foxbuntu_: irw even does not work [20:46] ACTION i think [20:46] with some kind of prepended control character [20:46] its doing "/action" [20:46] ACTION is running [20:49] http://youtube.com/watch?v=iWtxR_61CaY -- aww... even little kids love Ubuntu :-) [20:51] i'm not a little kid though, hence by hate and rage! [21:09] wonder how many users they'll get in the classroom when Mark shows up tomorrow
