=== Sphagnum is now known as Tari [00:19] I dont see any option to delete a transcoder for Recording Profiles [00:23] If you simply delete the profile name it still leaves an entry in there [00:23] this bites [00:36] I guess that doesn't matter or else there would be a delete option in there [00:49] A lot of changes happened since my first post here tonight [00:49] and most stuff seems to work [00:50] but the last bit, watching tv using mythtv locks up my system :/ [00:51] This error appears in mythfrontend.log: "NVP::AddAudioData():p1: Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!" [00:54] superm1: one of the things that I noticed really sucks is that If I play a transcoded mpg file it messes up my 350 TV Out, so that I can't play anything that hasn't been transcoded, until a reboot [00:55] superm1: does the same thing with avi files [01:03] * RealNitro goes to sleep [01:03] thx for the help [01:08] if I wanted to do a net install of mythbuntu, could I? [01:09] the CD drive on the machine throws read errors, and I verified the disc when I burned it [01:12] anyone intersted in helping with display driver problems? [01:27] Woot, linux MMO! [01:48] anyone intersted in helping with display driver problems? [01:49] POWERTOWER, what seems to be the issue? [01:50] unable to get the x1250 drivers working properly [01:51] I have folowed tuturials from AMD to install the drivers but after finishing, i run fglrxinfo and Mesa instead of ATI drivers are loaded [01:51] did you change the xorg? [01:52] The xorg states its using ati drivers [01:52] ok [01:53] is your card supported by the drivers? [01:53] it was a link specificaly under the 1250 site for amd [01:53] I would hope so but that wou explain lots [01:53] have you tried using the opensource drivers instead? [01:54] mebe, which one is that? [01:54] fglrx [01:54] yeah tried that [01:54] have you tried the restricted drivers manager? [01:54] I think this ati chipset juist came out a few months ago [01:54] oh that would be an issue [01:55] yeah, when allowing restricted drivers, the screen boots black [01:55] it may not support the chipset yet? [01:55] er [01:55] the drivers may not support the kernel yet [01:55] let me look [01:56] Well I dont want to wait, could you recomend a easy to install Make and Model video card with RCA out? [01:56] I assume you pulled the driver from the ati website? [01:56] yeah [01:56] or amd rather [01:57] you shouldnt have to reboot the machine after the install [01:57] I have tried the driver for windows and it worked OK, but no go on ubuntu [01:57] but try running the install via ssh or plain shell [01:57] I ran it in the terminal [01:57] you grabbed the linux drivers right? [01:57] Of course...lol [01:58] well...you should see the questions sometimes [01:58] sorry [01:58] I bet.... [01:58] I a semi noober myself [01:58] do this [01:58] alt+f2 [01:59] (I think) [01:59] should bring up the shell [01:59] shows desktop [01:59] nope [01:59] alt+f1 [01:59] yeah [01:59] is it the run command or the black shell? [01:59] its the shell/terminal [01:59] ok [02:00] login to that [02:00] then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:01] then sudo ./driver-pkg.run [02:01] whatever the name and location is [02:01] hrmm... [02:01] should have done this through putty [02:02] either way works [02:03] did you get that? [02:04] tring to figure out how to navigate to my desktop in the command line [02:05] /home/username/Desktop [02:06] OK its rinning [02:06] k [02:07] asking to install driver 8..... or generate distribution specific driver package [02:07] let it generate one [02:07] it will build the kernel driver for it then [02:08] enter install path [02:09] Um, why are you using that instead of using the version of the fglrx driver that creates a .deb? [02:09] just hit enter and it should use its defaults [02:09] no write permissions [02:09] afaik, the fglrx package lets you make a .deb package for your appropriate distro (ubuntu/gutsy) [02:09] Wy|laptop, I dont think his chipset is supported by fglrx yet [02:09] It is. [02:09] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [02:10] POWERTOWER, did you run it as sudo? [02:10] I use a x2400HD on mine [02:10] yea [02:10] hmm [02:10] follow the method 2 instructions there, POWERTOWER [02:10] from the wiki? [02:10] POWERTOWER, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_1:_Install_the_Driver_the_Ubuntu_Way [02:10] Wy|laptop, thanks...didnt see that before [02:11] yeah [02:17] How would anything in linux get done without documentation.... [02:17] Carefully. [02:17] and by self documenting code. :P :P :P [02:18] when I run this code "gksu gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common" i get "cannot open display" [02:18] cause im in putty? [02:18] yes [02:19] unless you have an xserver and xtunneling expressly enabled on your windows and myth boxes, it won't work [02:19] Your windows box will need http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming [02:20] Yeah no go on that, if i hit escape on grub loader what option could i use to enter the command line? [02:20] why not just vim /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common ? [02:20] or nano [02:20] or any other editor [02:28] no worries its already been edited [02:53] Hey Wy|laptop, that tutorial fixed my display problem...but noy my mythtv front end is broken...any ideas? [02:58] how is it broken? [02:59] opens then closes imediatly [02:59] same with the backend [03:00] is there a howto for opening up your mythweb to outside your local network? [03:01] no howto, I don't think [03:01] is it complicated? [03:01] BUT, you shouldn't need one, because it's not a mythweb issue [03:01] What is your 'local network'? [03:01] dsl/cable + router? [03:02] then look into port forwarding on your router, + using encryption on mythweb [03:02] everything inside my router, i have port 80 forwarded, but that doesnt work [03:02] you should have port 80 forwarded [03:02] it should work [03:03] it workes from a computer with a 192.168.0. address, but not from outside [03:04] are you set up to allow outside connections? [03:04] on apache [03:04] if i browse to my outside address from within my network it forwards me properly [03:05] thats probably my problem, how do i change that? [03:05] Now when I run mythtv backend, its says the libraries are missing [03:06] powertower: er... [03:07] did you screw something up? the wiki I showed you shouldn't have done anything [03:07] wrt to your myth binaries [03:07] I think im going to run fresh install, been trying to many tutorials - something probably gave in [03:07] but the wiki did work so im going to book mark that [03:07] Yeah, I think you broke something [03:08] dwf: lemme check. stand by. [03:08] ok thanks [03:08] someone needs to post that in ubuntu forms, there is many users looking for that info [03:08] powertower: reinstall and then use the tutorial I showed you to get X working [03:08] powertower: Sounds like you've got yourself a job [03:08] Will do thanks Wy|laptop [03:09] dwf: gimme a sec [03:10] no worries, im trying to google too [03:10] Not googling, sshing to my setup to figure it out [03:10] oh, ok [03:19] implement a password by using vim /var/www/mythweb/.htaccess [03:19] or nano [03:21] and you're sure that your firewall forwarding works? [03:21] if I browse to my outside address from inside my network it forwards me, so I am assuming it is [03:22] ok, what do i do in /.htaccess [03:23] also, what provider are you using? [03:24] starband [03:25] that's a satellite provider, right? [03:25] they may not allow inbound connections [03:25] they do, i had a personal wiki on my windows machine a year or so ago, it worked fine [03:26] i can ssh in, and vnc works as well [03:26] okay [03:26] hrm. can you change your port forwarding to your windows machine and fire up a web server? [03:28] um, [03:28] then i would need to get one working on there again, [03:29] just wondering if it's a provider problem [03:29] I dont even have a keyboard or monitor on that machine [03:30] *nod* [03:30] hrm [03:51] woah! [03:52] woah! [03:52] /var/log/mythtv filled up my hard drive by churning out 64GB of log files! [03:52] that's tough to fathom [03:53] anyone heard of such buggage? [03:57] what is your loglevel at? [03:57] crazy [04:06] default [04:06] this is a fresh install [04:11] crazy [04:11] what are the log errors? [04:52] Anyone available to help me figure out why I've got no sound? [04:54] I get test tones from the Sound Preferences window, but nothing in MythFrontend or any of my media players (xine, totem) [04:55] Never had sound in MythFrontend, but Totem was working fine until I installed DVD support and whatever updates were telling me they needed to be installed. Post-install, I've lost my previously working sound. [04:57] galileo, have you checked in Mythfrontend if you are using the internal sounds controls or external, what your output source is, and alsamixer to see if anything is muted? [04:57] er... correction: since my last reboot, even the Sound Preferences window has stopped making noise. :-/ [04:58] the mixer looks good. Everything but the microphone is unmuted and non-zero volume. [04:59] galileo, in alsamixer are the letters at the bottom MM or 00 [05:00] Master, PCM, CD, Video, and External are all 00 [05:00] k [05:01] I was watching videos in totem earlier tonight with no problems. [05:01] and it only stopped working when you installed mythtv? [05:02] have you checked the audio settings inside mythfrontend? [05:02] I installed a) libdvdcss and some associated items and b) some updates from the update manager. I did both consecutively, so I'm not sure which might be responsible. [05:03] My mythfrontend has always been spotty, so I've been operating mostly from the GNOME/openbox desktop. I'm pretty sure my mythfrontend settings have never been quite right.; [05:03] though now i've lost the ability to make sound outside myth as well [05:03] galileo, try this (to make sure you have everything you need) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:05] working... [05:05] k [05:05] ran to the point of my normal error at this point: [05:05] normal error? [05:05] Errors were encountered while processing: [05:05] lirc [05:05] mythbuntu-lirc-generator [05:05] mythbuntu-control-centre [05:05] mythbuntu-desktop [05:05] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:05] happens every time. I've not had time to trouble shoot it. [05:06] you need to fix that [05:06] mythbuntu-desktop has allot of settings in there [05:06] lol, probably, yeah [05:06] and MCC is super nice [05:06] which brings me to another snag: [05:07] kyle@Kepler:~$ mythbuntu-control-centre [05:07] File "/usr/share/mythbuntu-control-centre/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre", line 26, in [05:07] from MythbuntuControlCentre.core import ControlCentre [05:07] ImportError: No module named MythbuntuControlCentre.core [05:07] I am now assuming you installed Ubuntu desktop and you are upgrading to Mythbuntu [05:07] I installed mythbuntu first, then apt-get'd the desktop... (or something like that) [05:08] so you installed MB from the CD? [05:08] yes [05:08] ok [05:08] sounds like you need to yank MCC and put it back in [05:08] try [05:09] back in September, and I've been messing with it off and on ever sense. It's my first myth system. It's an older computer (though capable) and it's the only one running myth-anything at this point. [05:09] sudo apt-get remove --purge mythbuntu-control-center [05:09] galileo, have you installed with our Release disk? [05:10] not if it's more recent [05:10] remove finished [05:10] We had release one on Ubuntu 7.10 a few weeks ago [05:11] sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-control-centre [05:11] I've not re-installed since then. No.l [05:11] I've only been keeping up with Update Manager [05:11] ok [05:11] install done [05:11] sudo apt-get install -f [05:12] still getting the same "no module" error if I run it. [05:12] galileo, thats really stragne [05:12] strange rather [05:13] center/centre, strange/stragne... it's all good. :-) [05:13] lol [05:13] i am on a roll tonight [05:13] * foxbuntu can't type tonight [05:14] anyhow.. [05:14] that error really makes no sense [05:14] I'm removing the lirc stuff too... it was a lirc update that failed and grabbed my attention a couple weeks ago. I've just been ignoring it until I had time to deal. [05:15] galileo, you might want to try a reload..unless you have a ton of recordings or something you are trying to save [05:15] you seem to have several broken packages [05:15] I could probably do that. [05:16] guess there goes another weekend. :-) [05:16] naw [05:16] galileo, where do you live [05:16] ? [05:16] I will send you to a fast server [05:16] Arkansas, US [05:16] ah [05:16] mine then [05:17] http://mirror.foxmediasystems.com [05:17] whoa! [05:17] removed and reloaded lirc and now my mcc is open [05:17] first time I've ever seen it! [05:17] oh [05:17] hmm [05:17] wonder how lirc got so broken [05:18] I *might* have chosen the wrong remote, but I really wouldn't have expected that to cause this much headache [05:18] naw [05:18] ugh, it's telling me I have to restart my login session... brb [05:18] k [05:23] welcome back galileo [05:23] thanks [05:24] anything else I ought to try to fix before tackling my sound problems? :-) [05:25] did you get those upgrades in? [05:27] everything seems happy. there's one mythfrontend package running right now [05:28] and even when I install it, it rescans and says it needs to be installed again. [05:30] I assume the one that says its needs upgraded is ubuntu-mythtv-frontend? [05:30] yes [05:30] yea..I actually have that on my machine as well...but I am not sure the cause [05:30] so ignore it [05:30] ignored [05:31] got sound now? [05:31] so, I'm checking my sound preferences and just noticed that all of my playback settings say "VIA 82C68A/B rev590 (Not Conntected)" [05:31] They did not used to say Not Connected. [05:31] hmm [05:31] is it disabled in the bios for some reason? [05:32] And now my greater Linux ignorance kicks in. I'm not sure who disconnected them or how to reconnect it. [05:32] I've not touched my bios in weeks and it was working earlier this evening, so I'm going to venture that it's not turned off in the bios. [05:32] that really sounds like they are disabled in the bios [05:32] however, I'll be more than happy to restart and verify [05:32] ok [05:33] back in a bit. [05:33] k [05:33] anyone have any idea why telling a job to stop in the info center doesn't seem to do anything? [05:34] (custom) job keeps running till its done, unless I kill it myself [05:38] rhpot1991, what job and where in the infocenter? [05:39] custom script to export to ipod video [05:39] rhpot1991, you mean myth2ipod/ [05:39] ? [05:39] and info center, system status, job queue [05:40] rhpot1991, are you using myth2ipod? [05:40] its a variation of this script here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ipod_export [05:40] myth2ipod is out dated so I decided not to mess with it [05:42] rhpot1991, prob a good idea...however Im not sure why it wouldnt kill for you... [05:42] but info center seems to act like that allot [05:42] galileo, any such luck there/ [05:42] ? [05:43] ya, not really a big deal, I'm just messing with some bugs now and its annoying to have to kill it myself every time [05:43] Progress... I get the incredibly annoying test screech from the sound preferences. [05:43] Still nothing from mythfrontend or totem [05:43] iTunes likes to complain about long file names and all [05:43] rhpot1991, agreed [05:44] rhpot1991, actually I am start devel on better ipod support for MythTV [05:44] and I suppose while were fixing all the little (big) things I keep ignoring, I'll mention that everytime I exit the frontend it tells me it can't connect to the master backend server. [05:45] galileo, hrm [05:45] I am stumped [05:45] foxbuntu what are the plans? [05:45] I left a comment in the ipod task for mythbuntu [05:46] is there some reason my aps just aren't going through the ALSA driver? Are they hooked up to the wrong device? [05:46] (ramblings of a clueless madman, btw) [05:46] rhpot1991, this export feature, Mythmusic PnP support, and perhaps iTunes streams [05:46] galileo, try looking at the Mythfrontend settings menu [05:47] it usually defaults to its interal audio controls [05:47] (which I dislike) [05:48] is there a way to open that in a window so I can keep switching back here? [05:48] just switch back with alt+tab [05:49] I'm just going through my apps trying to find what works and what doesn't. Rythmbox makes noise. Not everything is broken [05:49] ok [05:50] foxbuntu I'd be interested in helping out some, tgm4883 invited me to the last developer meeting but I couldn't make it [05:50] rhpot1991, we have another one coming up [05:50] ya, I'll have to try and make it [05:51] would I need any special setup, or can I be doing work on my main mythbox? [05:51] rhpot1991, we certialy could use the help...we have tons of specs to get through by release [05:51] fox, my audio output device is ALSA:default [05:51] rhpot1991, you will destroy your mythbox so thats not a great idea [05:51] galileo, thats right, but is the box checked to use internal controls? [05:52] the passthrough output is just default, but I've got an ALSA:iec598... option as well. [05:52] Yes, internal controls were checked. uncheck that? [05:52] how do most people normally do it, do I need actual hardware for it to touch or can I just set up an instance on vmware or something [05:52] galileo, yes uncheck it [05:52] done [05:53] rhpot1991, most testing is done in virtual machines [05:53] certian things have to be tested on hardwre ,but we have pleanty of people that test on hardware [05:54] does the vm need to have access to a tuner? [05:54] rhpot1991, nope [05:54] excelent [05:54] still no sound. thanks for your help on the other stuff... at least now I can get to all my settings. I'm headed to bed for tonight though. The rest will have to wait. [05:54] rhpot1991, what kind of code experience do you have? (just wondering) [05:54] galileo, alright [05:54] god luck [05:55] good luck* [05:55] perl is the most relivant [05:55] rhpot1991, awesome [05:55] c++, java, vb [05:55] no python sadly [05:55] * foxbuntu shutters at java [05:55] I do asp.net work for work [05:55] currently that is [05:56] rhpot1991, you will pickup python pretty easy [05:56] I did [05:56] ya I'd imagine it wouldn't be too far of a stretch [05:56] brb, gotta make some iced tea for work tomorrow [06:14] now if only my comcast connection wasn't crap... [06:37] foxbuntu, still around? [08:11] Somebody was in here telling me the packge to install if I just want all the mythbuntu stuff on top of a regular GNOME ubuntu system. I thought it was just called "mythbuntu", but apparently, there's not package named that. [08:13] What's the name of the package? [08:15] Okay, apparently it's "mythtv" that I install. But, from looking and guessing, it doesn't look like I also get MCC if I do it that way... [08:36] levander, [08:36] http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu [08:36] :) === Tar1 is now known as Tari [17:33] hi [17:34] could someone please help me myth will not connect to mysql [17:37] hi [17:43] hi [17:47] hi [17:47] Moo!
