eidolonhi folks... i'm running a myth box that's based on an ancient install of knoppmyth.  I'm considering nuking the whole setup from orbit and starting over.  i do some myth stuff but mostly mythgame stuff with Mame et al.  question - will mythbuntu allow in-place updating of mythtv updates?  that's been my biggest problem with knoppmyth.  i can't just do 'aptitude update/upgrade' and have things brought up to date.00:17
eidolonand mythtv changes fast :)00:17
JThundleya wise decision, it's the only way to be sure00:32
JThundleywhat do you mean by in-place? I updated my mythbackend and frontend and it didn't break anything00:33
JThundleyI used to run a myth system so jacked that I couldn't update anything00:33
DiggThisafter upgrading to lastest update my tv card is not recognised anymore??00:52
Seeker`Can anyone confirm that the Hauppauge pvr 150 will receive analog signals?00:52
superm1_of course it will00:53
superm1_totem mythtv plugin. hells yeah :) http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap00:53
DiggThissuperm1_: why does the latest update break funtionality?00:53
superm1_what latest update00:53
superm1_broke what00:53
DiggThisupdate icon came up then i updated and now my card is not recognised anymore?00:54
superm1_what update?00:54
DiggThislast one rolled out i guess to mythtv features00:55
superm1_wha?00:55
superm1_when was said update released?00:55
superm1_i'm not aware of anything like this00:56
DiggThishow do i check?00:56
superm1_well there is some apt logging00:56
DiggThiscommand?00:56
superm1_i dont know where its at off hand00:56
tgm4883_laptopSeeker`, yes, it will not however receiver digital signals00:56
superm1_/var/log/dpkg.log00:57
DiggThis2.6.1 ubuntu00:58
DiggThisdoes that make sense?00:58
superm1_package name00:58
superm1_what got updated00:58
superm1_and why00:58
DiggThisdo you want me to post cause the list is huge?00:59
superm1_just look at the end of the log00:59
superm1_and you can see the last few things that were installed00:59
Seeker`tgm4883_laptop: Thanks. I cant get digital here anyway :(01:00
DiggThislast one was libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu1001:00
tgm4883_laptop:(01:01
superm1_well that wouldn't have changed anything.01:01
superm1_what else?01:01
DiggThisbefore that was mythtv 0.20.2+fixes1478901:01
superm1_oh you are using the fixes on weekly builds01:01
DiggThiswhat?01:02
DiggThisis there any way to fix?01:02
superm1_have you rebooted?01:04
superm1_since you installed the new updates?01:04
DiggThis2 times01:04
superm1_so what's happening that broke?01:04
superm1_the card isnt in mythtv-setup?01:05
superm1_or what01:05
DiggThisyes exactly says card could not be opened on frontend id no such file or dir01:06
eidolonJThundley: sorry, stepped away.01:06
DiggThisall was perfect before update01:07
eidolonso mythbuntu is allowing in-place mythtv (backend and frontend I assume) updates?01:07
eidolonthat would be -awesome-01:07
superm1_well it should....01:07
superm1_we have weekly builds going on a ppa01:07
superm1_that are optional01:07
superm1_but DiggThis appears to have run into some issues01:07
DiggThisi must be the first01:07
DiggThisgrep returns nothing01:07
superm1_DiggThis, well so in mythtv-setup, can you see your cards listed though01:10
DiggThisno not at all the message that i mentioned before comes up01:10
superm1_thats in the forntend though01:11
superm1_i mean in mythtv-setup?01:11
DiggThisno in the backend setup page01:11
DiggThisunder capture card setup no card recog.01:12
jargonjustinIs it recommended to have a separate /boot partition, or just / and swap?01:16
superm1_DiggThis, what kind of card?01:19
DiggThishauppauge nova-t 50001:20
superm1_DiggThis, okay so is the module for it loaded01:25
superm1_check out dmesg/lsmod/ etc01:25
jargonjustinFor setting up my video card, using the proprietary NVidia driver (ewww, but it'll work better), does it matter if I select composite or s-video?  There's only one port on the card at the default output resolution seems to be NTSC-M for both.01:26
DiggThiswhat you mean is that a command?01:28
superm1_go svideo jargonjustin01:29
superm1_DiggThis, well look at dmesg01:29
superm1_and see what hauppauge related stuff is mentioned01:30
DiggThisk01:30
DiggThisonly a bunch of sata stuff no hauppauge01:31
DiggThisshouldn't dmesg | grep dvb return results?01:32
superm1_according to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI01:35
superm1_you should get a dib0700 module loaded01:35
superm1_can you try to modprobe that yourself01:35
superm1_and see if you can01:35
DiggThiscommand?01:35
DiggThisok tried it and no message01:37
DiggThisthis is really weird a break like this01:38
superm1_you sure that you didnt install a new kernel too or anything like that?01:41
superm1_DiggThis, you tried:01:42
superm1_sudo modprobe dvb-usb-dib070001:42
DiggThispositive and yes returns to the prompt without notification01:42
superm1_dmesg01:44
superm1_afterwards01:44
superm1_and see if it loaded01:44
DiggThiskernel is 2.6.22-1401:44
DiggThisand the upgrade wsa huge upgrading all of myth components01:44
superm1_well but what i'm saying here, if the module isn't loading01:45
superm1_its irrelevant what else got upgraded01:45
superm1_so you need to figure out if its currently loaded01:45
superm1_or if its not01:45
superm1_why its not01:45
DiggThisk01:46
jargonjustinThe installation's been at "configuring mythtv" for about 10 minutes now: should I be worried?01:46
eidolonwow, a metrocast client :)01:46
magicrobotmonkeyhey a while ago someone pointed me to a PPA with mythbuntus myth theme, now i cant find it, dooes anyone know where it is?01:47
magicrobotmonkeyheh yea eidolon and its teh suck, i can only get like 8000B/s from archive.ubuntu.com01:47
eidolonwe have a house up in maine not far from you i bet (near sanbornville)01:47
DiggThissuperm1_: not loaded01:47
superm1_magicrobotmonkey, go to http://mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu01:48
superm1_and you'll find it there01:48
magicrobotmonkeycool, is that a new site?01:48
superm1_jargonjustin, perhaps perhaps not.01:48
superm1_jargonjustin, depends on what its really doing :)01:48
superm1_is the hd light flying?01:48
DiggThissuperm1: is there any way to roll back?01:49
jargonjustinsuperm1_: Both the drive and the CD look inactive.01:49
superm1_DiggThis, rolling back the packages wont load your module01:50
superm1_these sound like isolated issues01:50
superm1_DiggThis, you haven't said yet whether the module is loaded though01:50
superm1_jargonjustin, well you can check out /var/log/syslog01:50
magicrobotmonkey gar, 7.9 KB/s, whats the deal, metrocast?01:50
superm1_and see what the last item was there01:50
magicrobotmonkeylaunchpad cant be that far away01:50
DiggThisit is not loaded01:50
superm1_DiggThis, okay well try to01:52
superm1_sudo depmod -a01:52
superm1_and hten reload01:52
superm1_DiggThis, did you ever build this driver from mercurial, or need to?01:52
DiggThisno just placed into lib/firmware and was great guns01:53
jargonjustinsuperm1_: This looks bad: http://rafb.net/p/pvwhp365.html01:54
superm1_jargonjustin, that's definely bad01:55
superm1_jargonjustin, what kind of install was this?01:55
superm1_and did you choose a fun character in a password?01:55
superm1_that we didn't properly escape?01:55
jargonjustinsuperm1_, I did a backend/frontend (minimal desktop) and clicked advance, but ended up leaving the packages at their default.01:55
jargonjustinThere's an apostrophe in the password :-)01:56
superm1_there we go i bet01:56
superm1_can you please file a bug01:56
superm1_https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+filebug01:56
superm1_and choose a password without one for now01:56
superm1_add that /var/log/syslog to the bug01:56
superm1_and if you can specify where you placed the apostrophe01:56
DiggThissuperm1_: im gonna try to take out card and then reinsert maybe that might work01:56
jargonjustinOkay, thanks.01:56
superm1_DiggThis, hopefully01:57
superm1_jargonjustin, thanks for catching it and reporting it.  we'd have no idea other wise :)01:57
DiggThiswait and see01:57
jargonjustinsuperm1_: no problem, thanks for figuring out the problem so quickly02:02
jargonjustinWhen setting a password for mythweb, does that create another user account or is it just a mythtv configuration setting?02:03
superm1_jargonjustin, having written the ubiquity frontend, its pretty easy to know where to narrow these tihngs down02:03
superm1_jargonjustin, just an apache setting actually02:03
superm1_doesnt make any user accounts02:03
jargonjustinsuperm1_: Is this bug the same issue, or should I report mine? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/15935002:07
superm1_jargonjustin, thats different02:07
frozenskunkCan someone give me a hand getting a frontend running? I have have a working backend, and am trying to get my desktop to connect to it as a frontend. I have followed the guide at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Frontend_Desktop and for some reason can't get the frontend configured. It keeps crashing with 2007-11-05 21:02:07.235 Failed to init MythContext, exiting. when I try and put in the backend settings.02:08
superm1_frozenskunk, did you check the connection to the mysql server in mcc?02:08
frozenskunknot familiar with mcc...02:08
jargonjustinsuperm1_: reported https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/16036802:10
frozenskunkI have used more /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt to check the settings though02:10
superm1_frozenskunk, well open up the mythbuntu control centre02:11
superm1_frozenskunk, and then on the mythtv configuration tab hit the test connection button02:11
superm1_it will make sure that you can connect to mysql with the current settings as mythtv would02:11
frozenskunkI am only running mythbuntu on the backend box, I am trying to get the frontend running on my desktop which is a regular ubuntu install02:12
superm1_frozenskunk, well you can still install the control centre02:12
superm1_it doesnt hurt to do so02:12
frozenskunkOk, I will try that.02:13
DiggThissuperm1_: that did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!02:15
superm1_DiggThis, haha02:15
superm1_DiggThis, and you blamed package updates....02:15
DiggThisthankyou for your help anyway weirdness here02:16
DiggThismust have not been recognised somehow in biox02:16
DiggThisbios02:16
DiggThison a diff. question do you know if the restriced drivers problem with all ati cards has been worked out yet off the opt of your head02:17
superm1_i dont know what problem you're referring to02:18
DiggThisin gutsy forums alot of people are having trouble getting there new ati cards to work under it02:19
superm1_there have been no updates within the ubuntu archive to ati drivers02:20
superm1_there are however newer drivers available from the amd website02:20
DiggThisbut installing them on my system is not known to me...02:21
superm1_DiggThis, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide02:22
superm1_method 202:22
DiggThisalready tried that and does not work for me02:22
superm1_well that's the newest public driver on that page02:23
DiggThisk02:25
DiggThismust have been just updated02:26
superm1_well so you haven't tried it then :)02:27
DiggThisno i think i tried the one before that02:28
frozenskunksuperm1_, got mcc installed and tried the sql settings from there, and it fails. Is there something I have to do to the mythbuntu backend to make it accept the connection from the frontend box?02:30
superm1_frozenskunk,02:30
superm1_yes02:30
superm1_it has to be listening for mysql connection02:30
superm1_you can turn on the mysql service on the backend02:30
superm1_in the backend's mcc02:30
jargonjustinI'm trying to configure myth-setup, and I don't think things are working correctly with Schedules Direct (trial account) nor my capture card.  Is there a troubleshooting guide somewhere?02:30
frozenskunkok, let me try that.02:31
superm1_jargonjustin, download the pdf from the website02:36
superm1_it walks you through the proper way to run mythtv-setup02:36
superm1_and such02:36
frozenskunksuperm1_, enabled that on the backend, and still getting a failure on the frontend mcc02:43
frozenskunkhmm.. vnc doesn't seem to connect either (I just enabled it also) so I need to restart?02:44
superm1yes02:45
superm1there are no warnings for that as such yet02:45
superm1but should be adding that for hardy02:45
frozenskunkdo I need to restart the whole machine, or just ctl-alt-bkspc?02:46
superm1for VNC, restarting X is all you need to do02:46
superm1for sql, you can restart it via02:46
frozenskunkbut sgl takes a full reboot?02:46
superm1sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart02:46
frozenskunksql I mean02:46
solarbabyTranscode failed with status: 24702:58
solarbabyHmmm..  guess that didn't work as expected02:58
frozenskunksuperm1_, that let me connect with the frontend to the backend, but when I try to do anything on the frontend (watch recordings, setup, etc) I get an error telling me that it couldn't connect to the backend and asking if the IP was correct.03:08
jargonjustinWhat packages need to be installed to get the Xubuntu look-and-feel in XFCE?03:09
superm1frozenskunk, you need to have the correct IP put in place in mythtv-setup03:12
superm1if you didn't that's why03:12
superm1jargonjustin, xubuntu-default-settings i think03:12
frozenskunkisn't mythtv-setup only on the backend? I can't run it from the frontend...03:15
superm1frozenskunk, exactly03:15
superm1run it on your backend03:15
superm1and update the ip address in both general sections03:15
superm1to be your ip address03:15
frozenskunkbut the backend already has a frontend running on it. won't that screw it up? What do I need to change on the backend to allow multiple frontends to connect?03:16
jargonjustinsuperm1: I installed it, but the window chrome is still really dark.  Does Mythbuntu use a modified GTK engine?03:17
superm1yes03:17
superm1you can change that in the settings panels03:17
superm1the appearance one i think03:17
jargonjustinsuperm1, It'll let me change the theme, but I think it's still using the Mythbuntu engine.03:18
superm1jargonjustin, remove ~/.gtkrc-2.003:19
superm1i think03:19
jargonjustinThat did it, thanks03:21
frozenskunksuperm1_, Ok, I see. I had the backend set to 127.0.0.1, had to set it to it's actual local IP. Got it going now. Thanks for all your help!03:27
jargonjustinActually, that fixed it for applications run as the user, but not under sudo.  Do you know how to set the theme for however Mythbuntu handles root?03:28
frozenskunkbtw, you replied to one of my forum posts the other day about getting the PVR-350 doing the work for the CPU. I gave up on getting it to do that when I realized that if I cleaned all the gunk off the CPU heatsink fan, it wouldn't overheat... ;-)03:29
frozenskunksuperm1_, well, I thought that did it. When I try and watch a recording on the new frontend (my desktop) it crashed the desktop and took me back to the login screen (just like crtl-alt-bkspc would have). Any ideas?03:36
superm1turn off Xgl03:36
frozenskunkI thought that I had when I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy, how do I make sure?03:38
superm1it's on by default if you have it installed03:38
frozenskunkso just remove xgl?03:39
superm1xserver-xgl03:39
superm1is the package03:39
frozenskunkwill that screw anything else up?03:39
superm1well you will lose any bling that is provided by it03:39
frozenskunkis that what compix uses/03:39
frozenskunkcompiz?03:40
superm1depends upon your graphics driver03:40
superm1whether you need it or not03:40
superm1put it this way, its either myth or xgl, but there are alternatives to xgl03:40
frozenskunkyeah, myth wins out, just wanted to know what I was going to have to fix... ;-)03:40
superm1don't you find it odd that i knew it was xgl though.....03:41
superm1:)03:41
frozenskunknot really odd, so much as lucky... I have found all sorts of little quirks like that (If A and B, Not C, Or D) that if you find the right person to match to your odd failure... ;-)03:44
frozenskunkremoving xgl requires only actrl-alt-bkspc, right?03:44
superm1well after you uninstall it03:45
superm1yeah03:45
frozenskunksuperm1, You'r a genius! That took care of that... Now... (How is it I find every last problem there is to find?)03:58
frozenskunkwhen I am watching recordings on the front end, the audio is fine, but the video plays jerky (maybe 3-4 fps) both boxes are on the same LAN, so I don't think badwidth is the problem...03:58
=== Tar1 is now known as Tari|zzz
frozenskunksuperm1, you still here?04:27
superm1yeah04:28
frozenskunkI have every thing going, but the video on the frontend isn't very smooth, any ideas where to start looking?04:28
superm1in the video playback settings page04:29
frozenskunkvideo playback in recordings preview is fine, but to watch the video, it doesn't04:30
superm1there is a ton of options in there04:30
superm1and if its an nvidia card04:30
frozenskunk'flow' very welll04:30
superm1open up mcc04:30
frozenskunkcard is ati04:30
superm1and open nvidia-settings04:30
superm1okay nvm04:30
superm1well there is still a ton of options in the video playback settings page04:30
frozenskunkis odd though that playback on the previews is good , but to actually watch the playback is jerky?04:31
superm1not if its hidef04:31
superm1is it?04:32
frozenskunknot hidef04:33
frozenskunkeverything is fine from the main box which is the backend and frontend for the television. The frontend that I am having problems with is my desktop that I am running the frontend on to watch stuff while the woman is watching TV.04:34
tazgodx_so when watching TV i am noticing a split in the TV where the top half and bottom halves aren't matching up the video. is this just my retarded computer screwing up, or is there some kind of setting im missing?04:35
superm1well like i said play through those options for video playback settings04:35
superm1interlacing04:35
superm1realtime04:35
superm1etc04:35
superm1tazgodx_, its like a tearing picture?04:35
frozenskunkany idea where to start?04:36
superm1tazgodx_, you probably want to open mcc->nvidia-settings and adjust the vsync options04:36
tgm4883_laptopfrozenskunk, wireless?04:36
tazgodx_its like a line accross the middle and the top and bottom arn't quite matched. hard to explain04:36
tazgodx_ill try that04:36
tgm4883_laptoptazgodx_, thats vertical sync04:37
tgm4883_laptopor lack thereof actually04:37
tazgodx_but i don't notice it all the time. just somtimes04:37
frozenskunkno, everything is wired on the network04:38
tazgodx_hmmmm, i don't see any vsync options in nvidia-settings04:39
superm1yes there are04:40
superm1there are two or three checkboxes for it04:40
tazgodx_"synch to vblank"?04:40
superm1yes04:41
tazgodx_ok ill try that, thanks04:41
jargonjustinI'm setting up Samba, we've previously had a directory structure setup including movies that I'd like Myth to be able to interface with.  Should I just symlink /var/lib/mythtv/videos to the appropriate directory?04:44
superm1jargonjustin, yes04:44
superm1that's the easiest04:44
jargonjustinWhat kind of permissions need to be set?  Just read access?04:45
superm1that's up to you.04:45
jargonjustinWhat would Myth need to write to the directory for, anything?04:46
jargonjustinIt stores the metadata separately, right?04:46
superm1videos directory: no04:46
tazgodx_can you symlink a whole folder like that? or just file by file? and what is the link thru samba? "smb://ip"?04:53
superm1you can remove the folder and in its place put a symlink to a folder04:53
superm1if you are using nautilus it would be like that smb://machine_name04:54
tazgodx_hmm, this peaks my interest :) so in terminal is it the same link?04:55
jargonjustinNot a chance anyone here would have suggestions for troubleshooting an ethernet card Ubuntu's not picking up?  It worked under Debian Etch, but it's not showing up under ifconfig and I'm not sure what to look for under lsmod05:50
JThundleymaybe boot to knoppix or what have you, write down the modules it uses05:54
JThundleymanually modprobe it when you boot back to myth, or mess with different kernels05:54
jargonjustinJTundley, so use knoppix, see if it autodetects then compare it's lsmods to Myths, using modprobe to explore the differences?05:55
JThundleymodprobe is for inserting modules, like insmod but better05:56
JThundleybut basically yeah, maybe mythbuntu isn't autodetecting for some reason05:56
jargonjustinOkay, thanks.05:57

CCB0x45I was so stoked06:11
jargonjustinFor a U.S. cable input, should I use us-cable or us-bcast for the channel frequency?06:33
superm1us-cable06:34
jargonjustinOkay, setting up the capture card I want to use the MPEG2 interface (WinTV-Go, which I _think_ is like a PVR-x50), but doing so causes it to "fail to probe."  If I set it up as another interface though, it sets up as /dev/video0 and then I can go and change it to MPEG2.  Will this cause any problems?06:37
superm1the wintv-go has an mpeg encoder?06:37
superm1you sure about that?06:37
superm1i'm thinking ti doesn't06:37

CCB0x45or keep it blacklisted so it doesnt load automatically06:41
CCB0x45and lirc will load it from the init?06:41
superm1yea06:41
superm1unblacklist it i would say06:41
superm1otherwise it wont be able to load?06:41
superm1you may have to toy around though to figure out which one is loading first06:42
superm1and which should be your primary device etc06:42
CCB0x45the primary device should be the pvr15006:42
CCB0x45all im using the second device for is the VFD06:43
CCB0x45the first device is my remote and blaster06:43
CCB0x45do I need to edit any stuff in mythtv to make this work?06:43
jargonjustinI don't think SchedulesDirect is sending me channel information correctly, any way to verify this?06:44
superm1CCB0x45, shouldn't need to if you keep it that way06:44
superm1but you will have to play with blacklisting i think if imon still loads06:44
superm1you'll really have to see06:44
superm1jargonjustin, you need to bind your line up to your tuner card06:44
superm1so if you haven't done that06:44
superm1you won't get any data06:45
jargonjustinsuperm1: Via the schedules direct website?06:45
superm1no06:45
superm1in mythtv-setup06:45
superm1you need things setup in schedules direct for your location06:45
superm1but in mythtvsetup06:45
superm1when you choose it06:45
superm1it needs to be associated with the card06:45
superm1its all in the pdf06:45
jargonjustinOh, okay!  Thanks06:45
CCB0x45superm106:46
CCB0x45ok well my blaster still works06:46
CCB0x45but now it doesnt get my remote06:46
CCB0x45when I dmesg | grep lirc I get this06:46
CCB0x45http://pastebin.com/m72aa593a06:46
superm1yeah looks fine06:47
CCB0x45except my remote which was working06:47
superm1if you are restarting lircd, you know you have to restart myth still too06:47
CCB0x45stopped06:47
CCB0x45ahh06:47
CCB0x45mythbackend or front?06:47
superm1front06:48
CCB0x45lol06:48
CCB0x45you are right06:48
CCB0x45sweet06:48
CCB0x45remote works and blaster06:48
CCB0x45and it looks like imon is loaded on the second instance06:49
superm1make sure that is the same after reboot06:49
superm1it might swap06:49
CCB0x45yea06:49
CCB0x45I will06:49
CCB0x45I dont plan on rebooting this thing much06:49
CCB0x45especially since I control it remotely usually06:49
CCB0x45and my stupid motherboard needs a keyboard plugged in to boot06:50
CCB0x45so annoying06:50
bionight_hi has anyone had problem with key repeat on Gutsy?06:50
CCB0x45I see key repeat act annoying06:54
CCB0x45only over vnc06:54
CCB0x45it sometimes types like 50 of the same character06:54
bionight_yeah 7.10 is the first and I've run from 6.4 till now never a prob before06:55
superm1bionight_, you can tweak your lirc06:56
superm1bionight_, you can tweak your lircrc06:56
superm1to adjust the repeat value listed in it06:56
CCB0x45superm106:56
CCB0x45so it says to test this06:56
CCB0x45load lirc_imon06:56
CCB0x45and do an echo "Whatever" > /dev/lcd006:57
CCB0x45but it gives me permission denied06:57
CCB0x45even with sudo06:57
superm1that's because of the way that sudo works with pipes06:57
superm1you will need to do a sudo -s first06:57
bionight_superm1 I mean in any app06:57
CCB0x45superm1 you are always right06:57
CCB0x45you know everything06:57
CCB0x45works!!06:57
CCB0x45my lcd works!06:58

bionight_superm1 do you have any ideas I havent loaded any really tweaked out progs yet06:59
superm1bionight_, not really.06:59
bionight_superm1 I just wondered if you have heard anyone else with that prob07:00
CCB0x45every peice of hardware works perfectly now, and mythtv records perfectly, and I can stream live tv, and torrentflux works, and I have all my media on there07:01
CCB0x45its done07:01

bionight_superm1 thnx for your thoughts...07:05
superm1sorry couldnt be too helpful07:06
bionight_superm1 you were, it is my system if noone else has it07:07
CCB0x45does .lircrc just append to lircd.conf?07:09
superm1no07:09
superm1it maps07:09
CCB0x45ah07:09
CCB0x45whoops07:09
jargonjustinThe control center won't allow me to install the w32codecs or libdvdcss, do I need to add a particular repository?07:34
jargonjustinNevermind, apt-get update fixed it07:41
jargonjustinAttempting to install w32codecs via the Control Center causes it to crash, can I install them via apt-get or does the control center do anything special?07:45
CCB0x45jargon I doubt it does07:56
CCB0x45maybe adds it to mythtv07:56
jargonjustinWould it cause problems if I symlinked /var/www to /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb directly instead of needing the /mythweb path in the URL?08:17
jargonjustinHmm, well trying it broke mythweb, so I guess not :-/08:20

selinuxiumhi all, anyone about?13:38
selinuxiumhi jono, how is jokosher going?14:13
Seeker`What is the support like for a Hauppauge HVR-1300?14:42
directhex|workdigital or analog?14:43
Seeker`directhex|work: doesn't it do both?14:43
directhex|workit works in linuxtv svn, but the mpeg encoder is still a WIP (i.e. it behaves like a framegrabber currently, not an mpeg encoder)14:44

MythbuntuGuest56anyone run mythbuntu with only a hdhomerun as a tuner?  i'm having a backend startup timing issue with it16:22
superm1look on the forums16:23
superm1there is a post about network manager16:23
MythbuntuGuest56ah, got it.  thank you16:25
MythbuntuGuest56another question about the weekly trunk build, if anyone knows anything about it.  when I moved to mythbuntu, I did a database dump/restore of my programs from my previous install.  i was running trunk there, and the database schema doesn't match with the 20.1 in the default install.  after installing the weekly trunk build, i got it imported successfully, but now I am stuck with MythVideo and MythDVD being blocking to each other (only 16:30
superm1mythdvd is merged into mythvideo16:34
superm1in trunk16:34
MythbuntuGuest56ah, that would explain it.  ok, makes sense - i'll install mythvideo then and give it a try later on16:38
MythbuntuGuest56thanks16:38
Dr_WillisOdd. I got an .ogm file that vlc/xine/mythtv all play under linux but with garbled video (sound is good) avidemux can play it, and convert it.  .. windows vlc seems to play it fine..16:39
MythbuntuGuest56btw, kudos to all the people that worked on mythbuntu - it's very nice.  I've been using myth since 0.11? i think, and this has been the easiest setup yet for me.  great job, and keep up the good work16:39
Dr_Willisam i missing somthing.. obvious here.. :) or is it perhaps some odd codec. it looks like its xvid16:39

DANONURAwhat version of ubuntu works best with myth?16:51
rhpot1991DANONURA I'd use gutsy, has mythbuntu control centre in apt17:13
rhpot1991also the latest packages and all17:14
DANONURAok thanks17:15
DANONURAi,ve got 2 hard drives 1 with windows xp. the other pretty much empty17:16
DANONURAcan i boot empty hd using a cd iso of gutsy17:17
DANONURAor do i install gutsy on the 2nd hd17:20
DANONURADr_willis: sorry i was away17:54
Dr_willisYou were in #ubuntu :) i saw you! :)17:55
Dr_willisheh heh17:55
DANONURAlol17:55
DANONURAi wondered if i should install ubuntu to the empty drive?17:56
Dr_willisWeirdness. i got an ogm file that has currupted video on this box with a 6800 nvidia card.. but it plays fine on the 8800 nvidia machine upstairs.17:56
DANONURAor is it good enough to boot from live cd17:57
Dr_willisdepends on wha tyou want to do....17:58
Dr_willisDo you want an installed OS? or just a live cd to do a few tasks with....17:58
Dr_willisa HD install will be faster.. and you will be able to tweak your video card/otehr things...17:59
DANONURAhd install if i can still boot into windows. i guess by pressing f1 at startup18:10
rhpot1991DANONURA you can set up grub to automagically boot windows if you don't choose anything18:40
jargonjustinI'm having trouble getting my remote control to work.  I have a Hauppauge WinTV-Go and setup the remote using the control center.  Running mode2 or irw and pressing buttons doesn't produce any output.18:59
rhpot1991is WinTV-Go supported?19:42
rhpot1991seems that it is19:47
clayboHey everyone.  I enabled nfs on my Mythbuntu machine, but I can't connect to it from my OS X machine.  I read that you need to put the "insecure" tag into /etc/exports and the share you want which I did, but it still won't connect.  It just times out trying to connect.  Does anyone have any suggestions?19:55
jargonjustinrhpot1991, it should be, the tuner works and others report that the remote works (there's stock configuration files for it as well)20:24
clayboAs  an addition to my nfs question: running tail -f /var/log/daemon.log, I can see that nfs has "authenticated mount request from 192.168.1.105:888 for xxx", but I still get "not responding" errors on the client side.20:25

RealNitro_hi all22:23
RealNitro_I'm trying to get my fresh mythbuntu system to work22:24
solarbabyI love a good fresh Mythbuntu system22:24
RealNitro_can somebody tell me how I can check if my tv-card is working properly22:25
RealNitro_solarbaby: I love a good fresh, working, Mythbuntu system :p22:25
solarbabyafter I installed Mythbuntu for the first time I tried to record something from Television..  so providing your cables are all hooked up right..  try to watch live tv.. thats the first thing that works22:25
RealNitro_that's the problem22:26
RealNitro_live tv doesn't work22:26
tgm4883RealNitro_, what card?22:26
solarbabyrecording something from Television didn't work out of the box..  it was dissapointing.. the reason it didn't record when it said it would was because I didn't have amy TV Tuner INFRA Red device script working22:26
RealNitro_pinnacle pctv pro22:26
RealNitro_there is a /dev/video022:27
RealNitro_and it outputs rubbish when I 'cat' it22:27
solarbabytgm4883: I never really seem to ask the right questions do I?22:27
RealNitro_:D22:27
solarbabyRealNitro_: Hauppage cards work out of the box..  very nice22:28
RealNitro_solarbaby: unfortunately, I bought a pinnacle card :) (I wish I didn't though...)22:29
tgm4883RealNitro_, looks like you need firmware22:31
RealNitro_firmware?22:31
RealNitro_I have the card running fine on a Gentoo Linux system22:31
RealNitro_But I want to switch to Ubuntu/Mythbuntu22:31
tgm4883this is a pci card?22:32
RealNitro_tgm4883: it is22:33
tgm4883superm1, any quick thoughts on a pinacle pctv pro before i do mounds of research?22:34
solarbabyRealNitro_: I feel the same way about my Plextor 402u22:34
solarbabytgm4883: mounds of research..  your such a nice guy22:34
RealNitro_tgm4883: is there an easy way to check if the card works22:35
tgm4883and when i say superm1, i mean superm1__22:35
superm1__you super you dont mean superm1_?22:35
RealNitro_it could be a mythtv-config issue...22:35
superm1__there are 3 of me right now :)22:35
solarbabyI just wanna call you Super Man sometimes22:35
superm1__tgm4883, i know nothing of the that device22:35
tgm4883me neither, but it looks to use the bttv module22:36

superm1__it i didn't i would have been first :022:43
tgm4883lol22:43
tgm4883full sentances are for nerds22:43
tgm4883     ^^^^ spelling is too22:43
Brandenatworkwell, does 7.10 include the codecs for wmv, and mpeg 2.  I dont have internet access at home.22:43
superm1__Brandenatwork, there are no regressions from 7.04 ubuntu+mythtv -> 7.10 mythbuntu22:44
superm1__Brandenatwork, all of those things should be playable22:44
tgm4883with ^^^ being said, wmv would require either w32codecs or w64codecs no?22:44
RealNitro_hmm, there seem to be some issues relating video playback on my system atm22:45
superm1__tgm4883, no not really.22:45
superm1__tgm4883, there is native support for those22:45
Brandenatworksuperm1_: well i have the 7.04 repo on my computer at home.  So I would probably just be able to grab the codecs from there correct?22:45
tgm4883ah22:45
superm1__but you can use the w32codecs if you wanted to22:45
superm1__instead22:45
tgm4883RealNitro_, like no video from your tuner?22:46
RealNitro_tgm4883: like no video at all22:46
superm1__Brandenatwork, i dont know what codec package you are referring to22:46
RealNitro_problems with the video out device22:46
superm1__if you are meaning w32codecs, you can get the deb from tons of places22:46
RealNitro_totem crashes22:46
tgm4883RealNitro_, error messages?22:46
RealNitro_I think the fglrx drivers are to blame22:46
Brandenatworksuperm1__22:47
* tgm4883 vomits all over the ati drivers22:47
tgm4883could be22:47
tgm4883are they up to date?22:47
Brandenatworksuperm1__: well if there is native support for those, then i will fine.  So stuff like x264 I imagine is supported as well as xvid22:47
