[00:05] How do you ask MythTV to keep looking for a Movie until it finally comes out? [00:10] It looks like I can do that through the Mythweb [00:10] I guess thats good enough.. [00:21] it would appear that Title Search is buggy.. you can only have 2 Active Title Searches running in your scheduler at any one time [00:21] I am inputting Title Searches through MythWeb [01:01] Ive just downloaded the off of the Downloads page, when I boot from the CD it tells me that this is a "Live CD-ROM for Mythbuntu 7.1, built on 20070730" when I click enter to boot it loads into a gui interface with only a sand coloured background and mouse cursor... then it just stays there, I can use the mouse but nothing else loads... any suggestions? [01:03] I'd burn the cd much slower [01:04] okay, also wondering if this is the normal progression of events? Should I get a install screen after the live CD loads? [01:05] After the install cd boots up you should have a full desktop envirement and 2 icons on your desktop one for install and one for booting into live cd mythtv frontend.. you should also have applications tookbar on the top of the screen and a clock etc [01:05] there will be no password [01:06] great thanks for your help! [01:06] Anytime.. G'luck and Welcome [02:02] hello [02:03] !ask [02:03] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:06] what is the best way to update? will it update automatically. i thev 7.1 beta [02:07] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:08] ok cool [02:08] thanks [02:09] $upgrade [02:09] Although I didn't know, ubotu says: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:09] MythbuntuGuest70, 64-bit?

[04:49] I use the Hauppauge PVR 350, and I never experienced that problem [04:52] solarbaby:when i installed i simply selected mythtv in synaptic and let it install all relevant packages...do you see any potential issues with that? [04:54] I think the mythbuntu control center will set it all up for you, you can get it from the add/remove program [04:54] thats what im in the process of doing with 7.10 right now [04:55] dwf_starband:i wondered about that....let me grab that and see what happens...thanks [04:55] ok [04:55] ckw: do you have mplayer installed? [04:56] ckw: try mplayer /dev/video0 [04:56] im just now in the process of a clean 7.10 install, so im not sure what i have right now [04:57] its just to test the pvr-350 [04:59] frank23:hang on let me see [05:02] frank23:mplayer is up and running....what is the test procedure? [05:03] from a terminal run mplayer /dev/video0 [05:03] he means commandline, type "mplayer /dev/video0" [05:03] frank23:10-4 [05:04] at least I think it's /dev/video0 [05:04] think so... [05:06] frank23:mplayer: could not connect to socket [05:06] mplayer: No such file or directory [05:06] Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. [05:06] Playing /dev/video0. [05:06] File not found: '/dev/video0' [05:06] Failed to open /dev/video0. [05:07] hmmm [05:07] seems weird, i ahve a 350, and no problems [05:07] how did you install? [05:07] ubuntu, and hten mythtv after? or mythbuntu? [05:08] tazgodx:indeed...esp.since the card works over on the windows side and if i reinstall to 7.04 it works like a champ...go figure [05:09] tazgodx:i installed 7.10 from the cd...then used synaptic and checked mythtv and then apply and here i am [05:09] i did not check any of the mythbuntu stuff...i was under the impression that was not necessary and i could set it up just as i did on 7.04 [05:10] well, i recommend mythbuntu [05:10] it makes everything easier [05:10] tazgodx: i am about to try that now [05:10] installing mytbuntu control center? [05:11] tazgodx:yes [05:11] ckw: I doubt it will make a difference but you can try. [05:11] yeah, i can't think of much of a change to the 350 drivers. but can't hurt [05:12] frank23:i agree...the fact that the card cant be polled is not encouraging [05:12] i have the 7.10 mythbuntu CD and installed with that, and it worked perfect [05:12] ckw: go in a terminal [05:12] frank23:i am there [05:12] then sudo rmmod ivtv [05:13] sudo modprobe ivtv [05:13] dmesg [05:14] look between begin ivtv and end ivtv for errors [05:15] frank23:[ 2067.772644] ivtv: ==================== START INIT IVTV ==================== [05:15] [ 2067.772650] ivtv: version 1.0.0 (2.6.22-14-386 mod_unload 486 ) loading [05:15] [ 2067.773115] ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge card (cx23415 based) [05:15] [ 2068.392930] ivtv0: unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes) [05:15] [ 2068.392937] ivtv0: did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?

[05:20] i'm pretty sure it should be there by default. did you change kernel or anything like that? [05:22] hmmmnnnn...i was wrestling with a video card issue and had to install a legacy driver....if i remember correctly it had to recompile a kernel [05:22] ckw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting [05:23] frank23:i'll check it out....thanks [05:25] ckw: it's way past my bedtime. good luck [05:25] frank23:they are suggesting a total power off which i;ll try next ...thakns for the help [05:26] umm before that do [05:26] uname -a [05:26] and [05:26] ls /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/v4l-cx* [05:27] frank23:2.6.22-14-386 [05:28] frank23:lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw [05:28] /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw [05:28] /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg [05:28] /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/v4l-cx25840.fw [05:28] ls /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-386/v4l-cx* [05:30] frank23:bin/ls: /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-386/v4l-cx*: No such file or directory [05:30] ckw: ok. the simplest way is probably to use the -generic kernel.

[05:52] and for some reason when I try to enable vnc [05:52] through the ubuntumyth config, it wont do it [05:52] just crashes it [06:37] I've been battling a freeze in the mythbuntu install @ 94% done. Details are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589805 Any ideas? [06:42] Bueller? [06:44] Is anyone actually out there? [06:45] Anyone at all, feel free to say anything so I know that at least my session is working [06:45] hello [06:46] Ok cool, I was begining to wonder [06:46] anytime [06:46] did you see my original question? [06:47] no i just loged back on at 21:39 [06:47] Ok, here it is: I've been battling a freeze in the mythbuntu install @ 94% done. Details are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589805 Any ideas? [06:48] If you don't know, that's cool, I can try again tomorrow [06:48] sorry, im pretty new myself, ive been using ubuntu for almost a year, but still learning, installed mythbuntu on one computer and the control center on a fresh install of 7.10 [06:48] am still trying to get it all figured out [06:49] that's cool [06:49] MythbuntuGuest89, this is a known issue [06:49] You are installing using the Ati Video drivers correct? [06:50] No, actually nvidia [06:50] really? [06:50] thats strange [06:50] I have a geforce fx 5500 so I'm using the nvidia_new driver [06:50] any errors or does it just totaly hang up? [06:51] just totally hangs up, there's some screenshots on the ubuntu forums post I linked to above [06:51] another user told me he didn't see anything unusual [06:52] bear with me I am reading your post here [06:52] cool, thanks [06:54] ok...2 questions [06:54] ok, shoot [06:54] what tuner card are you using, and I assume you are using the final release version of MB? [06:55] the tuner card is a hauppauge pvr-350, the mythbuntu ISO I d/l was the 7.10 final, as far as I know (I just got it on Monday, which I know is when it released) [06:56] The iso file reads: mythbuntu-7.10-i386 and is 499 MB, is that the final? [06:57] MythbuntuGuest89, ok...as I know people have had issues with the PVR-350...try removing it and reinstalling [06:57] thats the final [06:58] I am not sure why the 350 is such an issue, but I personally use 2 150-MCE's [06:58] in myth-tv setup is it acceptable to use the ip address my backend/frontend uses on my network for the IP address and the Master Server Address? [06:58] i plan on having other frontends [06:58] when you say re-install, do you mean literally take it out of it's PCI slot and put it back in or something else, because I'm doing a clean install so I've never installed any drivers, etc for it [06:58] dwf_starband2, you got it [06:59] MythbuntuGuest89, sorry to be clear, pull the card out (leave it out) and reinstall Mythbuntu [06:59] why cant i connect to the backend then, even though its on the same computer? [06:59] dwf_starband2, did you set the backend to allow remote connections? [07:00] i think so, should that matter on the same comptuer? [07:00] yes [07:00] was that in the control center? [07:00] becuase MySQL security by default binds the listening IP to the loopback (127.0.0.1) [07:00] dwf_starband2, you can change it in MCC [07:01] ok, I'll give that a shot. I'll post my results on my ubuntu forum thread tomorrow. foxbuntu--thanks for the help [07:01] MythbuntuGuest89, np [07:03] i have mysql service set to enable [07:03] is it applied? [07:03] yes [07:04] i just disabled it, and applied and now its greyed out [07:04] try to disable it and then re-enable it [07:04] what changes did it say it was going to make? [07:05] remove mysql something [07:05] server maybe [07:05] mysql-server? [07:05] im not sure, i just clicked ok [07:06] is this a fresh install? [07:06] yes, fresh 7.10 with mcc installed right after [07:06] ok [07:07] 'go to the main tab of MCC and set it to be a master backend [07:07] and apply that and see what is days [07:07] says* [07:07] its already selected as primary backend [07:07] frontend [07:08] and ubuntu desktop [07:08] change the role to something else and then back [07:08] ok [07:08] im changing to no backend, then ill reselect it [07:08] k [07:11] ok after reselecting, the mysql services is still greyed out [07:11] do i need to run the setup again? [07:11] did it say it was installing some fun stuff? [07:12] not really [07:12] i can do it again and pay better attention, what specificly am i looking for? [07:14] the only thing i can think of is i was reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570073&highlight=mysql which said to delete ~.mythtv/mysql.txt [07:15] etc/mythtv/mysql.txt is still there though [07:16] does anybody know of an up to date how-to for getting tv out working on a pvr-350? [07:22] i just noticed a lightbulb at the top of my screen, says update information MythTV-Database reconfigure required, [07:22] The mythtv-database package was upgraded or installed, but was unable to contact a MySQL server. [07:22] If you were in the process of dist-upgrading, this is normal as mysql-server is stopped for a portion of the upgrade. [07:22] If this is a fresh package installation, verify that mysql-server is installed and running. Once you have verified the server is running, you can reconfigure the package by running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database'. [07:22] If your root password or location of the MySQL server are non standard, you can also update them via 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database'. [07:52] hello [07:53] fuck I can not get shit to work [07:53] so damn frustrating [07:54] hm.....after having installed mythbuntu....i quite like it, but there is still a lot i dont really get to work...
