williammandahey guys00:10
williammandahow do i get / put videos under the "watch videos"?00:11
foxbuntuwilliammanda, you need to put them in the directory that you set MythTV to use for videos, and then once they are there open the video manager to update the DB00:13
williammandaok ty00:15
williammandaanother question....00:56
williammandawhen the master backend gets restarted....the slave backend doesn't reconnect automatically...how can I change that?00:56
williammandaI have to manually restart the slave backend00:57
foxbuntuwilliammanda, you could setup a cron job to make sure its connected and restart it if its not00:59
foxbuntuwilliammanda, why do you have more than one backend?01:00
williammandaseems like i remember a option in setup to wake the slave01:00
foxbuntuwilliammanda, oh correct01:00
foxbuntumythtv-seutp i believe it is01:00
williammandaI have four front / backends....one master and three backends01:00
foxbuntuwow...that seems excessive01:01
foxbuntubut ok01:01
williammandawhat do i type in the field to wake the slave backend?01:01
foxbuntuwilliammanda, you will have to look it up..I am not sure, never used it01:01
williammandaok ty01:01
hendrixskihas anybody here tried to run mythtv in a chroot before? know of anything special that needs to be done for the database to not crap out?01:13
tgm4883hendrixski, I don't know off hand anyone that has01:35
tgm4883why are you trying to do that?01:36
hendrixskitgm4883, to develop01:37
tgm4883ah01:37
tgm4883you may want to try over in #mythtv-users or #mythtv (which i think is the mythtv development channel).  Or were you planning on developing for mythbuntu directly?01:38
pdragonhmm... just noticed something weird. the PCM volume in alsamixer keeps resetting to the default level every time i commercial skip, change channels, pause tv or do anything that stops/starts playback01:42
pdragonhad it turned up cause the volume was kinda low. noticed the volume went down after i skipped a commercial01:43
williammandatgm ...hey01:43
williammandawhen the master backend gets restarted....the slave backend doesn't reconnect automatically...how can I change that?01:44
williammanda I have to manually restart the slave backend01:44
tgm4883williammanda, back in a sec01:44
sslashessuperm1: around?01:44
tgm4883williammanda, doesn't it periodically check?01:44
williammandanot sure01:45
williammandahow would i know?01:45
sslashessuperm1: give https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/mouse-idle-hide a look when you get a chance01:45
williammandaby the way...i ended up buying an LG tv.....works great01:47
magicrobotmonkeyhi i just upgraded to gutsy and I seem to be getting poorer video playback performance with gutsy then I had on fiesty - its kind of choppy now01:48
williammandai went to best buy and took my computer and tested all the tv's i was interested in01:48
magicrobotmonkeyi tried tweaking some of the playback settings, but nothing really helps01:48
magicrobotmonkeywow thats dedication01:48
williammandai got tied of bring home 42" tvs01:50
williammandatired01:50
magicrobotmonkeyheh good point01:50
williammandawas on the 4th tv01:50
solarbabyI'd love to get my Hauppage 350's TV out working02:04
solarbabyright now I just use a couple of Xbox's no real complaints there though02:05
iriehope this is an easy one to answer, when i view the channel guide i have no station logo's.  all i see is the channel number with 'g Chan' below it.  how can i get the station logo's to show in the channel guide02:24
pdragonit doesn't come with channel icons by default02:27
pdragonhttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Channel_icons02:27
pdragoncan use that guide to get them02:27
pdragonnot sure if the bug is still there02:27
iriethank you02:28
tritiumMitoTranin: filed a bug on MCC02:28
jtmoneyi don't get it... is there anyway to install mythtv using mythbuntu (added to my kubuntu installation) without xfce being installed?03:02
Davieyjtmoney: sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-control-centre03:04
* Daviey bed03:05
jtmoneyDaviey: that's what i did, but when i enable primary backend, frontend, and kubuntu, it installs xfce03:05
Davieyhmm.. i really need to go to bed.. maybe someone else can help03:05
jtmoneyokay03:05
jtmoneythanks anyways03:05
Daviey(it's 3am) nn03:05
jtmoneygotcha03:05
jtmoneyhmm, looks like mythbuntu automatically installs xfce03:12
jtmoneyoh well, i'll give it a shot03:12
yotuxLooking for a Giga nic any suggestions?03:23
MitoTranina cheap one with a high QoS rating :)03:25
* MitoTranin suggests google03:26
yotuxMitoTranin:  I have bought two cards and they seem not to be working03:26
yotuxI see them but they will not pull ips03:27
MitoTraninwell then wouldn't THAT be the more apropriate question?03:27
MitoTraninand, I will point out the topic...  that isn't anywhere near what this channel is for03:27
MitoTraninBUT, if you really do want to know what cards are good/bad/ugly, then google around for a few review sits03:28
yotuxwell mythbuntu is going to be using my Giga Nic to server the media03:28
MitoTranin*sites03:28
yotuxok03:28
MitoTranina quick google search gives:  http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gigeth32bit/gig-eth-32bit-2.html03:28
MitoTraninas for what type of nic would work best with mythbuntu, you'd be better off asking in #ubuntu rather than here03:29
yotuxok03:29
malociteGood evening all03:37
malociteI am just in the process of installing mythbuntu 7.10 on my mythbox, which is hooked up to a crt television through vga but the display is all garbled when it tries to install03:38
malociteanyone here?03:41
MitoTranindid you try to install using the safe mode graphics?03:44
malociteyes i did :(03:49
malocitewhen I do that, it does the same thing, after about 3 or 4 minutes a blue screen comes up and says that my screen has failed more than 6 times03:50
MitoTraninthen you're going to have to connect it to a standard computer monitor for the initial install and then move it to the TV after the install03:50
malociteI can ctrl alt f2 into a different login,03:51
MitoTraninthe included drivers can't use all the functions of the graphics cards due to driver issues03:51
malocitedoes the mythbuntu installer use the standard xorg.conf file?  I could use the settings from the previous installation there03:51
MitoTraninlinux distributions generally refuse, and in some cases are not allowed, to use restricted drivers for nvidia or ati fresh out of the installation03:52
MitoTraninrestricted because nvidia and ati refuse to release their source code to their drivers, or allow the linux community to know how to properly program drivers to work with their hardware03:52
malociteyeah, I don't need them too, its just an intel integrated chip03:52
MitoTraninthat is the difference between free and Free03:52
MitoTraninwell, intel has the same problems sometimes...03:53
MitoTraninanyways, the only solution if the safe mode doesn't work is to connect it to a real monitor, install the system using the restricted drivers if available for your hardware, and then move it back to the TV later03:54
MitoTraninmaking sure that you configure the xorg properly for your tv before you change it back over03:54
malocitehmm, I can't remember how I got around this when I installed 7.04 on there03:54
MitoTraninyou probably used the ubuntu alternate cd, but that's not available for mythbuntu03:55
malocitei just went and skrrewed up the 7.04 version :)03:55
malocitewhat is on the alternate cd?03:55
malociteI think I just used the same cd as I did for this machine03:55
MitoTraninit allows for a text-based install03:55
malocite(this being the one I am using now)03:55
MitoTraninnon-livecd installation03:55
malociteMito: No, it was a graphical install.... I remember the joy of trying to guess what was beyond the 640x480 display :)03:56
MitoTranin...  My suggestion is to connect it to a real monitor and go from there...03:57
MitoTraninif you want to figure out a way to do it otherwise, that's fine... but I cannot help with that03:57
MitoTraninsomeone else in here might...03:57
MitoTraninbut not I... (and not because I don't want to, but because I have many other things going on right now, and I really am not familiar enough with your system and/or how to get it to work otherwise)03:58
malocite:)03:59
malocitethats fine03:59
malociteI was just wondering if the installation took its data from the xorg.conf file for the screen types and resolutions03:59
malociteI figured I could skrew around from there03:59
MitoTraninI would assume so03:59
MitoTraninare you trying to upgrade a system or do a fresh install?04:00
malocitefresh install04:00
malocitethe old version is really skrewed04:00
malociteI tried to get creative :)04:00
MitoTraninthen I would really suggest moving the pc to a location that can use a real monitor temporarily until you get the system installed and working with the right drivers :)04:02
MitoTraninbut yes, it sounds like the livecd auto-config is not properly configuring the xorg.conf file04:02
MitoTraninif you were to find a way to configure that properly, it should work04:03
malociteyeah, I may have to - the problem is the pulling everything apart.... but it would seem I may not have much of a choice.... my concern is doing the install, and then just having this happen as soon as I hook it up to the tv04:04
MitoTraninis it possible to bring a monitor to the system rather than take the system to a monitor?04:06
MitoTraninthat way you can set it up for dual-display first to make sure it works04:07
malocitethe machine only has one monitor plug04:09
malociteits not a dual-monitor setup04:09
malocitethe tv has vga in,04:09
tgm4883malocite, what kind of tv?04:19
malociteok04:29
malocitewell, I've found a bug :)04:29
malociteneato :)04:29
tgm4883ok04:29
malociteALright, (its a 32" RCA CRT HDTV) btw04:29
malociteI took my lcd monitor over to the other side of the room and started up the mythbuntu install04:29
malocitegot it to the graphical portion, then changed the resolution to 800x60004:30
malocitethen boom, unplugged the lcd, plugged in the ol' tv, and whamo04:30
malociteit came up no problem04:30
malociteso something with the installer is not setting the right screen resolution04:30
tgm4883are you in the live env or have you already installed?04:31
malocitethe install is going now, does that mean its in the live env? (I assume thats envelope)04:31
tgm4883environment04:31
tgm4883but yea04:31
tgm4883it is04:31
malociteyes04:31
malociteits in that04:31
tgm4883sounds like the tv is giving crap edid data04:32
tgm4883hmm04:32
malociteimpossible04:32
malociteRCA is flawless in everyway04:32
tgm4883well of course04:32
tgm4883so is sony04:32
malocitethey even saved a kitten from a tree just last week04:32
malocite:)04:32
malocitesony put the kitten there04:32
tgm4883lol04:32
malociteso, you think the tv was sending out funny data to the installer?04:33
tgm4883sorta04:33
malocitecause the old 7.04 installer (not mythbuntu, just straight ubuntu) didn't have this issue04:33
tgm4883I actually think it wasn't sending any data04:33
malocitethe tv?04:33
tgm4883yea04:33
malociteyeah, I don't think it was, but isnt that why you set the resolution in the installer when you start?04:34
tgm4883well the installer is pulled from Ubuntu04:34
tgm4883and I had heard about some funky stuff happening when theres no data04:34
malocitehmph04:34
tgm4883such as way to high a resolution04:34
tgm4883so i'd file a bug if I were you04:35
malocitewell, I am sure there is not a huge rush to fix this problem04:35
malocitehow many people have CRT HDTV's with VGA inputs? :)04:35
malocitebut I will file the bug,04:35
malociteI support open source04:35
tgm4883huge problem or little problem, thats what triage is for04:35
malocitemostly by using it, and regularly complaining about it :)04:35
malociteswitched from xp ..... back in June04:35
malocitenow I only have an XP partition for video editing for my business, and of course... games :)04:36
tgm4883good to hear04:36
tgm4883sounds like you need a console :)04:36
malocite:)04:37
malociteI do04:37
malocitebut you show me the Xbox that can run Red Alert 2 :)04:37
malocitequestion, I am at the myth portion of the setup04:37
malociteit wants to know the ip address.... it is set to 127.0.0.104:37
malocitebut the ip for that machine is 192.168.1.101 - SHould I just leave it as the default?04:38
tgm4883isn't there C&C for the 360?04:41
malocitedunno04:41
tgm4883malocite, are you planning on running multiple mythtv machines?04:42
malocitebut I'm poor04:42
malocitenot initially04:42
malocite(see previous answer)04:42
malociteeheh04:42
tgm4883eh, set it to the actuall ip address (192.168.1.101).  Ideally you will want a static IP address, although I prefer static DHCP04:42
Pogonipinstalled mythtv on gutsy, but mythconverg didn't get setup, anyone know why?04:43
malociteahhhh balls - guess whos screen resolution just went skrewy04:43
malocitegotta take this monitor back - brg04:44
malocitebrb04:44
tgm4883Pogonip, what do you mean didn't get setup?04:44
PogonipThere is no mythconverg database.04:44
tgm4883how did you install it?04:44
tgm4883mythtv that is04:44
PogonipI used synapic package manager04:45
tgm4883well what did you install though?  What package?04:46
Pogonipgive me a second so i can look04:47
malocitewell, - after the install it made resolution 1400x120004:50
malocitechanged it to 800x600 - rebooted, and it stuck04:50
tgm4883sounds good04:51
malociteso, I'll be submitting that ol' bug :)04:51
tgm4883is that your native tv resolution?04:51
Pogoniptgm4883, i installed lib-mythtv-0.20,mythbackend, mythtv-backend-master,04:55
PogonipNautical,704:57
tgm4883_laptopwhat about mythtv-database?04:58
PogonipLet me try.05:00
Pogonipcommand not found.05:01
tgm4883_laptopi meant is it installed05:03
PogonipSorry, yes it is.05:03
tgm4883_laptophmm05:05
tgm4883_laptopand the database doesn't exist?05:05
tgm4883_laptopis mysql server installed?05:05
PogonipYes, SQL server is installed and I can log in as root.05:06
* superm1 wanders in aimlessly05:06
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, have you seen any issues with the database not being created?05:06
superm1tgm4883, only if the person set a root password05:07
PogonipI'm starting my laptop now too. I installed it on my laptop and the mythfrontend opens, but I never looked to see if mythconverg existed.05:07
tgm4883_laptopdid you set a password for the mysql server?05:08
PogonipI need to use a password to open sql if that's what you mean.05:09
tgm4883_laptopthen thats why theres no database05:10
tgm4883_laptopsuperm1, whats the work around for that?05:10
PogonipNice catch by the way.  That's the difference between the two systems.05:11
tgm4883_laptopPogonip, superm1 knows everything05:12
PogonipYou narrowed this one down pretty damn fast.  I'm impressed.05:13
tgm4883_laptopwell theres certain things that if you know to look for it does that05:14
superm1yes there is05:15
superm1dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database05:15
superm1and enter your root password05:15
superm1that you set05:15
tgm4883_laptopah05:16
tgm4883_laptopso that will ask for the root password then05:16
tgm4883_laptopi was wondering if it would05:16
superm1yup05:16
tgm4883_laptopsweet05:16
PogonipStill this was really fast work.05:16
tgm4883_laptopwe aim to please :)05:17
PogonipWorks great.  Thanks again.05:17
PogonipLet me say one more time.  GOOD JOB.  That was really impressive.05:19
superm1thx :)05:19

CCB0x45I am so stoked, hadnt built a pc in forever and just built the sickest myth tv box08:27
superm1awesome :)08:28
CCB0x45and I had forgotten to plug in this second power jack to my motherboard08:28
CCB0x45and it had this vga error08:28
CCB0x45and everyone was saying in forums that the bad boards of my kind08:28
CCB0x45had it08:28
CCB0x45and I was ready to just rip it apart and send it back08:28
CCB0x45and saw that little missing jack08:28
CCB0x45haha08:28
superm1its always the low tech solutions that work out08:28
CCB0x45the last time I had built a pc there was only one ATX power jack08:29
CCB0x45not 208:29
CCB0x45some tiny little one08:29
CCB0x45ok myth tv is still booting08:29
CCB0x45oooh08:29
CCB0x45different colors08:29
CCB0x45flashin08:29
CCB0x45nice08:30
CCB0x45it got to the gui08:30
CCB0x45I can install, thanks a ton man08:30
superm1okay have fun! :)08:30
CCB0x45but does this mean I am only gonna be able to run in 800x600?08:30
superm1Not at all.08:30
superm1during install you are offered to do proprietary drivers08:30
superm1or you can do them post install08:30
CCB0x45when I tried the nvidia drivers08:30
CCB0x45in the configure app08:31
CCB0x45and did test08:31
CCB0x45it crashed it down to the promp too08:31
superm1those aren't the proprietary ones08:31
superm1those are the open source nvidia ones08:31
superm1that were failing the first time around any way08:31
CCB0x45oh nice08:31
CCB0x45sweet08:31
CCB0x45the other thing was from some reason on my tv08:32
CCB0x45it like cuts off part of the bottom08:32
CCB0x45its an HD tv08:32
CCB0x45but none of the tv like horizontal stuff08:32
superm1worry about adjusting that after you have proprietary drivers on08:32
CCB0x45affects it?08:32
CCB0x45ok08:32

superm1(i'm one of they) :)08:33
CCB0x45haha nice job08:34
CCB0x45really well done, havnt used linux in forever08:34
CCB0x45im a programmer for apple in cupertino08:34
CCB0x45figured id finally try one of these myth tv boxes08:35
superm1neat :).08:35
CCB0x45you think standard is cool for me08:35
superm1depends on what your goals are for this box08:35
superm1you can add all the options under advanced later08:35
superm1if you so decide08:35
CCB0x45ok cool, I think its a pretty straightforward box08:35
CCB0x45alright im gonna push through this, thanks so much man im stoked08:36
superm1hope it all works out well08:36
superm1if your new to myth though, you'll probably be pretty confused by the last step08:36
superm1step 1508:36
superm1grab the pdf from the website08:36
superm1and it will walk you through it08:36
CCB0x45ok cool08:37
CCB0x45its asking to configure my remote08:37
CCB0x45and Its a remote I got with my hauppage 15008:37
CCB0x45but there is 3 hauppage ones08:37
CCB0x45is it just hauppage tv?08:37
superm1there is a hauppuage tv option08:37
superm1i believe08:37
CCB0x45ok08:37
CCB0x45cool08:37
superm1out of curiosity what do you work on programming for apple?08:38
CCB0x45pro apps08:39
CCB0x45work on some stuff shared by all the pro apps08:39
CCB0x45final cut studio etc08:39
superm1ah neat08:39
superm1common libraries and such08:39
CCB0x45yep08:39
CCB0x45a lot of "such" haha08:40
CCB0x45if im planning on using HDMI out08:40
CCB0x45or DVI ou08:40
CCB0x45out08:40
CCB0x45I dont need TV out set up do I?08:41
superm1then dont configure tv out08:41
superm1those show up as digital normal outputs08:41
superm1after the nvidia driver activates08:41
CCB0x45if I wanted to use maybe one or the other08:41
CCB0x45can I set it up08:41
CCB0x45and both will work?08:41
superm1well i'd say only plug in one for now, and worry about setting up both after you've got it working properly on one08:41
superm1because you'll have to deal with video overlays, and stretching across multiple displays08:42
CCB0x45ok so you can configure tv-out later on08:42
superm1deciding which ones does what08:42
superm1yeah08:42
CCB0x45ok cool08:42
CCB0x45are all the options pretty much like that?08:42
CCB0x45aside from partitioning of course08:42
CCB0x45and stuff like that08:42
superm1what do you mean "like that"?08:42
CCB0x45nm08:43
superm1that they can be changed later?08:43
directhex|workcompetition!08:43
CCB0x45just realised there wasnt any more options08:43
CCB0x45after that one haha08:43
directhex|workthe ubuntu-mce lot have picked up on my ps3 remote driver08:43
CCB0x45yea I meant like they can be changed later pretty easily08:43
CCB0x45I saw that ps3 remote working with linux on digg08:43
superm1CCB0x45, yeah a majority of them08:43
CCB0x45nice job08:43
superm1directhex|work, linky?08:43
CCB0x45ok cool08:43
directhex|worksuperm1, http://www2.apebox.org/wordpress/programming/28/08:44
CCB0x45directhex was that you on digg?08:44
CCB0x45oh wait nm08:45
CCB0x45that was a pc wireless thing working on ps308:45
directhex|workCCB0x45, pc wireless thing working working = no shit, sherlock08:46
directhex|workyou could use a xbox 360 pad if you swing that way fer chrissakes!08:46
CCB0x45haha08:47
superm1directhex, you talking about the the UMC team picked it up?08:47
directhex|worksuperm1, comment #1. actually, looks like http://ubuntu-mce.blogspot.com/ has nothing to do with ubuntu mce. bah.08:48
directhex|worknow i don't feel bad that my driver sucks!08:49
superm1haha08:50
CCB0x45is it possible to have like myth tv running on the main screen hooked up to the box but operate the box in a desktop like mode in vnc from another box?08:57
superm1you can do it that way, not out of the box immediately, but its configurable08:58
superm1also if you quit mythfrontend momentarily, you will be at a desktop08:58
CCB0x45ah and then just have a desktop vnc?08:59
CCB0x45cause I probably wont have a keyboard hooked up08:59
superm1well the VNC that you can install/configure via mcc runs for all of X08:59
superm1so your entire session shows up as VNC08:59
superm1and you can quit myth and use it in desktop mode if you fancy08:59
CCB0x45cool08:59
CCB0x45ok cool that works fine09:00
superm1or you can start another vnc only X server09:00
superm1your call09:00
superm1once you are up and running after the first boot, look at the mythbuntu control centre09:00
superm1and you can see a little more how to configure things09:00
CCB0x45yea09:01
CCB0x45im in it right now09:01
CCB0x45playing around with stuff09:01
CCB0x45for the remote to work do you have to do the generate dynamic button mappings?09:02
superm1no you dont09:03
superm1the hauppauge remote i've heard has some bad default mappings too from the dynamic generation09:03
superm1you may need to grab a lircrc to replace ~/.mythtv/lircrc and ~/.lircrc with09:03
CCB0x45ok09:03
CCB0x45ill worry about that in a bit09:03
CCB0x45where do you set up the wireless?09:04
CCB0x45I found it nm09:04
CCB0x45doesnt see any wireless networks though09:04
CCB0x45is there a way to check if my wireless card is working?09:05
superm1networks will show up right there if it finds them broadcasting an ESSID09:05
CCB0x45like on my macbook I see like 8 wireless networks09:07
CCB0x45I put a wireless card that supposably has linux drivers09:07
CCB0x45in the box09:07
CCB0x45and it looks like when I tried to type in09:07
CCB0x45the wireless network to connect to, it froze it09:07
CCB0x45haha09:07
superm1well that's not too good :(09:08
CCB0x45reboot09:08
CCB0x45is there a way to see what ubuntu is detecting for my wireless card?09:08
superm1well i'm going to be getting to bed myself.  it's a wii bit late here right now.  if you don't sort things out, post to the forums ok? :)09:08
CCB0x45sure09:08
CCB0x45thanks a lot for your help09:08
CCB0x45have a good one09:08
superm1no prob, good night~09:09

arcticblueRunning Mythbuntu here...  I turned on my PS3 today and to my surprise, my MythTV box showed up on it.  Well, recorded TV and stuff works, but I live in Japan so everything recorded is saved with a Japanese filename.  This causes the UPnP server some confusion and it sends garbled text to my PS3.  Any way to get the UPnP server to send the Japanese characters?  (configuring utf-8 support maybe?)15:17
arcticblueAlso, should a bug be filed about this?15:18
bendaileyarticblue: this should probably be checked with mythtv direclty15:18
bendaileyI am checking for an existing bug right now15:18
directhex|workarcticblue, do your shows get listed as 0 minutes long in XMB?15:19
arcticblueYeah15:20
arcticblueBut I don't mind.  I'm just happy it worked so easily.  If I could just read which show I was picking, it would be even better :P15:21
sslashessuperm1: up late, maybe up early too?15:21
directhex|workarcticblue, well, i'd look at reporting a bug about both issues into the Myth bug tracker - it'd be great to make myth as good as it can be for media center use15:22
MythbuntuGuest61hi, what is the dynamic remote mapping in the mythbuntu control?15:22
arcticbluethanks, I'll do that.  MythTV already is great for media center use (definitely better than it was this time last year), just a few rough edges to smooth out.15:23
arcticbluei was wondering what the dynamic remote mapping was too.  My first thought was "This sounds like it will walk me through configuring the buttons on my remote ("Push the button for 'Stop', etc)", but it doesn't seem to do anything at all.15:26
MythbuntuGuest61hm15:26
MythbuntuGuest61is there a wiki or so where i can search for it15:27
arcticblueI'm not sure.  New to mythbuntu myself.  Recent Knoppmyth convert.15:27
arcticblueWish I kept my Knoppmyth remote config around.  The config for the grey hauppauge remote that was included with it was perfect.15:27
MythbuntuGuest61hm hm ^^15:28
arcticbluewhere would be the best place to file bugs for mythbuntu be?15:31

solarbabyI remember there are a certain amount of programs needed to install things with make file.. but I dont remember which programs I need to download17:13
solarbabygrowl17:14
solarbabyI should have taken better notes the last time I installed17:14
pdragonthe build-essential package has the minimal ones needed17:15
solarbabyThats right.. I remember that, Thanks!17:15
solarbabyIm sure glad there are people like you here, with a good memory17:16
superm1growl is available in linux now adays?17:17
superm1really?17:17
solarbabyweirdo17:17
solarbabymaybe I should have stated it like this *GRowl*17:17
superm1haha.  growl is probably one of the neatest apps for OSX17:17
superm1so that would have made my day today if i found out it was ported :)17:17
solarbabyOh I've still never actually owned a Mac, just help Mac users when something go wrong hehe17:17
solarbabysuperm1: have you seen this? http://www.templetons.com/brad/myth/tvwish.html17:18
superm1solarbaby, a long time ago i did17:18
superm1but neer used it at all17:19
solarbabysuperm1: I am just getting ready to compile and use.. I hope it doesn't mess stuff up17:19
solarbabysuperm1: I like some of his ideas17:19
solarbabysuperm1: actually I like most of his ideas17:20
solarbabysuperm1: In your opinion, now that Ubuntu has become what it has, is there much reason for you to stay with Mac hardware seeing as Ubuntu can be run on inexpensive hardware?17:22
superm1solarbaby, i dont have mac hardware at all :)17:22
superm1i tried OSx86 for a little bit17:23
solarbabysuperm1: do you run OSX on anything other then mac?17:23
superm1solarbaby, yeah i was running it on a thinkpad for a bit17:23
superm1and saw a few things that i liked17:23
solarbabyHow do I try that?17:23
superm1but overall not worth the switch17:23
solarbabydoes OSx86 just expire on you as soon as you get it configured? heeh17:24
superm1solarbaby, it was a fairly complicated process (not worth the effort in the end imo)17:24
solarbabysuperm1: good to know.. and point taken17:24
arcticbluesince we're talking about macs, has anyone upgraded to leopard?17:24
superm1its not out i thought?17:24
superm1until Friday?17:24
arcticblueit's been released...trust me17:24
superm1oh then i dont follow the news dates closely enough17:25
superm1:)17:25
arcticbluenot officially17:25
superm1i thought it was 26th17:25
superm1oh not officially17:25
superm1of course :)17:25
arcticblueget what i'm saying *wink wink*17:25
arcticbluei'm trying to upgrade now, but it's giving me a hell of a fight17:26
arcticbluekeeps saying that it can't install to my hard drive and that i need to completely format it first.  wtf?  i think it has to do with bootcamp17:26
solarbabyok build essential is installed but make install still gives me "make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop."17:27
solarbabyi think I remember Automake or something17:27
solarbabymaybe I need that17:27
pdragonready for friday, superm1? :)17:28
superm1pdragon, not at all17:28
solarbabyany suggestions from the penut gallery?17:28
superm1i've got a lot to do between now and then too17:28
pdragonany leading questions you want thrown in there? ;)17:28
pdragonsolarbaby: did you run ./configure?17:29
solarbabythe directions didn't say to do that17:29
solarbabyso I didn't17:29
pdragonhmm17:29
pdragonsome packages have that script and some don't17:30
solarbabythis is what im installing http://www.templetons.com/brad/myth/tvw-install.html17:30
pdragonsee if there's an executable file called that in the folder17:30
pdragoni personally don't know much about compiling programs outside the configure/make/make install stuff17:30
solarbabyok17:30
solarbabyIm an idiot.. I was sitting in the wrong directory17:31
solarbaby*Smile*17:31
solarbaby*Blush*17:31
solarbabyIt seems to work..  there is a Pilot episode of Las Vegas sitting in my Upcomming Recordings List..17:33
solarbabythis is going to be kewl..  I wish Mythtv build in all these features17:33
pdragonwow that is cool17:35
solarbabypdragon: are you referring to the tvwish program? yeah it seems awesome17:40
solarbabypdragon: I feel like I stumbled upon a real Gem17:41
pdragonyeah. might have to give that a try17:41
solarbabypdragon: it seems to work alright..  seeing as a Pilot just appeard17:41
pdragonif that could be implemented into the scheduler, i think that's like one of the only things left that TiVo does that Myth doesn't17:50
solarbabyYeah17:54
solarbabyI was using SageTV a few years back, and I could do it with that, and I really enjoyed it17:54
solarbabycourse SageTV sucks compared to MythTV17:55
pdragoni had a basic DVR appliance for a little while. Was pretty much a digital VCR, nothing fancy17:55
pdragonmythtv is the first thing like it i've tried17:55
solarbabyyeah,  I've got a Basic PVR with Dish Network, and it just serves as a backup in case Myth crashes..  it only records a handful of my favorit TV shows, and Mythtv records that, and everything else17:56
solarbabyI suspect that soon I will have to figure out how to Record in HDTV, which im not looking forward too, but all the other TV tuners in my house are HD17:57
solarbabyIt'll be insane how much I can record with 2 tuners17:58
solarbabyactually..  I'd need a big hard drive in the HD one, probably a 750 gig would work well17:58
pdragonhehe yeah. i have too much to watch now with just one tuner!17:59
solarbabyIm still trying to get through Deep Space Nine.. haha17:59
pdragonmore HD tuners should start coming out next year after the february cut-off (even tho it's not mandatory anymore)17:59
solarbabynot to mention I just got Buffy The Vampire Slayer and SG-117:59
solarbabyas soon as Myth tells me they recommend 1 piece of hardware very highly because it works perfectly, is the time I think I'd like to buy one18:00
pdragoni'm waiting to see what haupaugge (sp?) comes out with18:00
solarbabythats what I did with my Hauppauge 350.. bought that years ago18:01
pdragoni just got a 150 for now18:01
solarbabyHigh Five on that one18:01
solarbabythe 350 was a good idea..  I still haven't gotten TV out to work in Myth, so I use my Xbox's for now..18:01
solarbabyI may just end up buying a small form factor video card with TV out and go that route18:01
arcticbluewith XBMC?18:02
solarbabyYeah, I use the XBMCMythtv.py and I also downloaded Xebian Linux and load up the MythTV frontend from time to time since that has more options18:02
solarbabyIf I could leave the xbox off, I'd be happier though.. less heat, noise, electricity18:03
arcticblueI tried the XBMC frontend option yesterday actually.  But, because all my recording are Japanese, it wouldn't play them because the filenames were all garbled.18:03
solarbabyOh crap, thats a new one18:03
solarbabyhaha18:03
solarbabysorry to hear it18:03
arcticblueI tried to put a Japanese font on it, but it didn't work too well.  I'm going to try the linux frontend next week maybe18:04
solarbabyyou could always try the Xebian Mythtv frontend.. its REALLY EASY to install18:04
arcticblueDoes it work well?18:04
solarbabyYeah, if you dont mind waiting 4 minutes for it to boot up..  its stable18:04
solarbabyit works with the most recent version of MythTV which makes me very happy18:04
arcticblueThat's good.  I was worried about the 64MB of RAM limitation18:04
arcticbluebonus question... Does it work well with the Xbox remote?18:05
solarbabyhttp://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Xebian_HOWTO  this is where I got it18:06
solarbabyIt works out of the box with xbox remote18:06
arcticblueThanks.  I'll check that out18:06
solarbabyIts the most easy install I've ever made..  you just ftp it to your E partition and load it up..  setup your frontend settings like ip address mysql user id and password and your in18:07
arcticbluesweet18:07
arcticbluewell, i have to get back to fighting with leopard now...  away i go18:07

tgm4883_laptoppretty much18:12
tgm4883_laptopyou should be able to import the database18:12
tgm4883_laptopand unless some funky stuff is done in centos, it should be fine18:12
tgm4883_laptopyou probably will want to resetup the tuners, if for some reason they switched device numbers or are mapped elsewhere18:13

tgm4883_laptop!ask18:54
ubotuDon't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)18:54
bronsonIs there an easy way to use my ivtv's FM tuner?18:55
Rimersi think i saw a mythtv plugin somwhere, but i don't think it's in the original plugin pack with mythtv18:58
bronsonAh, cool.  I'll look.18:59
bronsonFound some talk about "mythradio" but dunno what state it's in.18:59
Rimerssearch for mythtv radio on google, think that will find it for you18:59
Rimershmm that might be the one i'm thinking of, not sure of the state either, but seem to remember my brother using it at some point19:00
aEvhi, a question, are the desktop effects known to interfere with mythttv fullscreen? (any particular effects 'not to use'  or remedies). I just had the video clear up after disabling them..19:03
aEvand offcourse thanks for the wonderfull, mythbuntu control center thingie, made my day19:04
RimersaEv: not sure of the desktop effects, i disabled all of mine due to my Ati card not handeling them well and especialy not with mythtv19:07
tgm4883_laptopI think superm1 runs both, i'd bug him when he gets back on19:08
RimersI just installed the latest CD version of mythbuntu off the website, install ran perfectly, just had a small problem with the xorg.conf that needed some tweaking to work with the tv-out19:12
Rimersexcept from that everything went just fine with the openchrome drivers and all :)19:13
aEvthanks, not especially concerned about running em both, was mostly curious if it was known issue.19:13
aEvRimers: the nvidia-settings tool did that for me. seems to change quite a bit19:13
aEvto have changed..19:13
solarbabyRimers: if you have the Hauppauge 350 like I do and you get TV out working, I'd like to find out how you did it ;)19:14
aEvWhile busy, i have another Q,  i have been searching (mostly some time ago) for some way to 'visually' fine tune my mythtv channels.19:14
aEvthe freqs from teh cable company tend to be off19:15
Rimerssolarbaby: I have a Via Epia motherboard with a Via gfx chip on it, but the 350 should be fairly easy to get working, seem multiple guides on it19:15
aEvanyone else have issues with this, what is the best way to fine tune your chans19:15
aEv?19:15
tgm4883_laptophmm19:15
solarbabyRimers: I've failed the guides, or they've failed me19:15
tgm4883_laptopit would be nice if mythtv could do that19:15
tgm4883_laptopi'm not sure if that is possible though19:15
Rimerssolarbaby: oh, sad to hear that19:15
tgm4883_laptopi feel a spec though if its not19:16
aEvtgm4883_laptop: did you refer to the visual fine tuning? :)19:17
tgm4883_laptopyes19:17
tgm4883_laptopsorry19:17
aEvahh good :)19:17
Rimerssolarbaby: Ill have a look at my friends place, think he has that card somwhere in the mess19:17
tgm4883_laptopit should be possible19:17
solarbabyMost likely the Hauppauge TV out is going to be a waste of time anyways though, because there are going to be times I will want to play Avi files, and I doubt MythTV is going to knwo to transcode them to mpg files to suit the needs of my Hauppauge card19:17

tgm4883_laptopcan you start mythbuntu-control-centre from the command line, then try?19:23
Rimersbefore yes, this time the installer just crashed and i got the MCC page just fine19:23
tgm4883_laptopRimers, can you start mythbuntu-control-centre from the command line, then try to install w32codecs.  When it doesn't let you exit MCC and that should shed some info19:25
tgm4883_laptopRimers, 32bit or 64bit mythbuntu19:25
Rimersah found the error, it was trying to get the files of of the cd and that made it crash, just removed the cd from repo and it went fine19:26
tgm4883_laptopYea i hate that19:26
solarbabyI could use some very basic scripting help if anyone is willing to take a look here http://paste-it.net/4146  It seems that when run from chron the first command seems to run, the second and 3rd dont , but then the echo message to a text file does..  perhaps i need some kind of if and then statements or something.. please take a look if you know basic scripting19:27
jamssolarbaby-  when a script runs from cron it does not has a PATH set19:35
jamsset the path to each binary, or source /etc/profile19:36
jamsor whereever  ubuntu stores it's systemwide path info for bash19:36

chukI think I'm having a timing issue on my master server19:46
chukwhen I boot, the backend can't find my hdhomerun19:46
chukbut if I kill the process, and then start it up from the command line, it finds it fine19:46
chukso it seems like maybe it is trying to start mythbackend before I have my IP19:47
Rimerstgm4883_laptop: its in there, and no remarks on the driver part...19:47
Rimersmy mythtv setup just cant seem to find it19:48

MythbuntuGuest78can I just install it to use the whole free disk space of the mac mini...i dont want mac anymore on the box20:00
RimersMythbuntuGuest78: my first thought is yes, but i've never tried it my self20:04
MythbuntuGuest78hmm...ok20:04
MythbuntuGuest78as far as I know..the hardware is fully recognized with ubuntu 7.1020:04
MythbuntuGuest78so there should really be no problem to get it to work with mythbuntu20:05
gpdany idea how to stop screen blanking with gutsy and mythtv install - was working fine with feisty...20:13
gpdnvm - found it20:16
chukI'm having trouble accessing the master from a client PC20:44
chukcan't log into database20:44
chukI'm not sure if I have it set up properly for remote PC access20:44

superm1and then restart20:44
tritiumhi superm120:55
superm1cheers20:55
chukhmm, that didn't seem to help20:55
tritiumI filed the bug I felt was pertinent.20:55
chukalso, I tried to enable NFS service20:55
chukand it dumps out with this error:  http://www.pastebin.ca/74840220:55
superm1chuk, woah yuck.20:57

superm1oh ChanServ20:57

chukhow about this one:  http://pastebin.ca/74829920:57

chukcan't find my hdhomerun20:57
chukbut if I run /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart20:58
chukit finds it no problem20:58
chukseems like it is starting mythbackend before it has an IP?20:58
superm1chuk, what you'll want to do is go into network settings20:58
superm1and make sure that network manager doesn't manage your card20:58
chukdo you mean assing static ip?20:59
chukassigning...20:59
superm1chuk, not even that necessarily, but at least having normal debian networking stuff manage the interface21:00
superm1rather than NM21:00
chukI think I might be dense on this, what exactly is network manager?21:01
superm1chuk, it is for quickly switching between wireless and wired21:01
superm1and making networking esasier21:01
chukhow do I get in and enable/disable?21:02
chuksorry, I realize this is basic, but I'm having a brain-block21:02
superm1chuk, close mythfrontend21:04
superm1top right corner of the screen21:04
chukdone21:04
superm1is NM21:04
Rimersanyone but me been having firmware problems with mythbuntu? i cant get my tv tuner to work due to a firmware load problem, ive just decided to reboot it as the files is where they should be, so it must be somthing else21:04
chukoh, I think I have a problem with this, my screen only 640x480 and I have nothing in top right21:04
chukI think its off screen21:04
superm1Rimers, what firmware load problem?21:12
superm1chuk, you can run sudo network-admin then instead21:12
Rimersits for my tv tuner, hauppauge dvb-t card, but the firmware loaded after a reboot, now there is just a problem with a few error messages that looks wierd21:13
Rimerssomthing with RC Query Failed for the tv tuner, think its due to some remote control input on the tv tuner21:15
superm1does it work?21:19
Rimersnot sure, im getting spammed with errors every 150ms21:20
Rimersneed to patch my tuner cards driver to leave the remotecontrol part out21:20
superm1yuck21:23
solarbabysuperm1: I edited my crontab and achieved sucessfull results with out having to reinstall :)21:33
superm1great :)21:34
solarbabysuperm1: go ahead and laugh at me, thats expected21:34
solarbabysuperm1: I feel better knowing I can do it21:34
superm1what'd it end up being?21:34
solarbabywell, i had to settle on 3 different cron tasks.. because I just couldn't master it in 1 script21:35
solarbabysuperm1: 40  13 * * * sh /usr/local/bin/mythupdatetvwish.sh21:36
solarbabyI guess that sh <-- made the difference21:36
solarbabyearlier i was trying /usr/local/bin./mythupdatetvwish.sh and that didn't seem to work21:37
solarbabyand then it took me a while to master writing a litle script that loads it21:37
superm1glad you sorted that out :)21:40
superm1perhaps make a post on the forums about this21:40
superm1people besides you would probably want to use tv wish21:40

superm1yeah21:59
sslasheswhat do you think?21:59
superm1i'm lookinh forward to seeing this in action21:59
superm1seems like uve got it sorted out head on21:59
sslashesdo have any idea on how debian packaging works? I assume I would need to create a package for the python module...22:01
tgm4883_laptop!packaging22:01
ubotuThe packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources - See also !backports22:01
sslashestgm4883_laptop: great - thanks22:02
superm1sslashes, once you've got everythign together here, i can help you get it into a package22:03
superm1pycentral is used typically for python modules22:03
sslashessuperm1: ok, great - i'll stop by again at some point soon when i have everything functioning well22:05
NedHidenIs it worth building a mythbuntu box when cable/satellite companies encrypt their connections?22:48
sianHas anybody succeeded in using a Twinhan VP 1020A with MythTV and Ubuntu ?22:50
solarbabypdragon: seems that in this wishlist I cann't get goodmovies.txt to load up in the list.. shrug..  lots of other things work just fine but that wont.. for some reason23:03
pdragondon't think i'll be trying it myself. it's definitely something that would be a cool addition or plugin for mythtv tho23:08
solarbabyWhen setup is pretty nifty.. its just this one fricken thing that doesn't seem to work for me23:10
solarbabypdragon: yeah I agree it would be better if it was a plugin, the author wrote that he didn't want to make it a plugin because its easier to edit with a keyboard.. heh23:11
tazgodxYAY!!! someone just got a new HDD in the mail. now to decide if i want to just rip out my two old ones nad start a new, or just the one....23:13
solarbabyUse the quiet one, and the big one, and the one you dont want to use as a backup drive ;)23:15
NedHidenIs it worth building a mythbuntu box when cable/satellite companies encrypt their connections?23:29
tazgodxnot all, you can still get basic cable23:29
tazgodxand you can you a ir blaster to control a set top box, so you can decrypt throught hte box and get those23:30
tazgodxonly thing you can't get is digital i believe besides the free OTA channels23:30
tazgodxi mean HD23:30
NedHidenhmm... okay. thanks!23:31
