[00:02] jpdrawneek, I have not heard any issues with this...however doesn't mean it doesn't exsist...I would suggest checking out our fourms or even posting in there [00:03] k [00:03] just checking to see if it was a know problem [00:05] k 'nite [00:05] foxbuntu: the '-generator command seems to have done the trick! :D [00:06] thanks for your help... [00:07] anybody here know about loading mythtv frontend onto a appletv or a ps3? [00:08] how can I set up a remote using an ir receiver from irblaster.info and a hauppage remote [00:08] I have other remotes, if the hauppage one doesn't work like this [00:09] josiahw, appleTV and PS3 both have projects...google for them [00:10] sirbob, check out the docs for the irblaster and mythbuntu-lirc-generator will take care of the hap. remote [00:11] Just to clarify, I am not using the ir reciever on the hauppage card, [00:11] what is mythbuntu-lirc-generator? [00:11] just run that at a command line? [00:14] what are some good options to use with vlc when playing movies in myth? [00:29] mindframe pull up the MythVideo Wiki...they are posted there [00:34] got it [00:34] now next problem: all of my video files come up scrambled [00:36] mindframe, be more specific [00:38] any video file that i tell myth to play is 'scrambled'... blank green screen when vlc is full-screen. i can play this video files fine from the command line. [00:39] nvidia issue [00:39] so when you play them outside of myth with vlc they work? [00:39] yes [00:39] its an issue with the latest nvidia drivers [00:39] are you using QT or OpenGL? [00:39] mindframe where did you find that [00:39] QT [00:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3830263 [00:40] mindframe, switch to OpenGL [00:40] some guy in #mythtv-users [00:40] okay [00:41] same issue [00:41] mindframe the driver mentioned there seems to be an old one [00:41] what card are you using? [00:42] onboard 7050pv [00:42] gonna try out this beta driver [00:43] 100.23? [00:44] 169.04 [00:45] i currently have 114.19 installed [00:46] ah sorry..I was thinking for my card [00:46] differnt package [00:48] foxbuntu: I did mythbuntu-lirc-generator, but I am not sure what it did? [00:49] or where to go from there [00:50] sirbob, actually, you need to use it from Mytbuntu-Control-Centre, then you can select your remote and it will configure it for you [00:50] sudo mythbuntu-control-centre [00:50] foxbuntu, is there any way to speed up the menu fade time in opengl mode? also what are the advantages to using opengl? [00:51] opengl with nvidia usally is faster [00:52] is the fade super slow? or just different from QT?" [00:54] it's slow enough to be annoying [00:55] i'd rather have the instant switch that QT does [00:56] it's hard-coded. gl means fade [00:57] foxbuntu: It doesn't seem to be working, is there any way I can view a raw input of what lirc is getting? [01:10] foxbuntu: It doesn't seem to be working, is there any way I can view a raw input of what lirc is getting? [01:11] sirbob, after you setup the remote you should reboot your machine [01:17] foxbuntu: still doesn't seem to do anything, it should be able to navigate the mythtv menus, right? [01:18] sirbob, yes...do you have your irreceiver setup for the remote? [01:21] foxbuntu: how do you do that? I can't find any docs on the irblaster.info site [01:21] sirbob, usually those remotes have their own [01:21] and its usb [01:23] foxbuntu: I know, this remote uses one in the tv card i think, but I am using the card in a backend and the remote for a frontend [01:23] foxbuntu: how can I setup a generic remote (I have ones besides the hauppage) with this reciever? [01:23] in mythbuntu [01:24] sirbob, I am not sure, I would suggest to surf the forums and google [01:24] sorry, I have to go === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:53] Has anyone found problems with installing two DTV1000T tuner cards under Ubuntu? [02:01] Hi All, I'm having some trouble enable nfs sharing from the control centre, when I apply the settings, its not actually installing the service [02:58] anyone use vlc or xine for their dvd playback? [03:03] does mythbuntu have ltsp in it? [03:31] I have a problem where periodically the backend will fail, or something; it's still running, but no longer is receiving input from the RCA cables. [03:31] When this happens and I try to watch TV from the frontend, the screen goes black for a bit (as it normally does when selecting Watch TV), but then returns to the menu. [03:31] Any ideas what could be happening? [04:10] Anyone here? [04:13] yeah, but you have to idle for longer [04:13] the weekends are especially slow [04:13] Ah, OK. [04:24] I don't suppose you'd have any insight into why this serial cable I'm taking apart (a DB-9) lacks a lead to pin 3, which happens to be on of the three most important pins in the whole spec? (Pin 5 is ground, pin 2 is receive, and pin 3 is transmit.) [04:26] way above me, I'm afraid [04:27] I'm trying the whole "make your own cable to control the STB," but it isn't working for the aforementioned reason. Oh well. [08:26] God Bless MythBuntu [08:26] Howso? [08:26] not in a bad way silly [08:27] I didn't mean to imply that. [08:27] I've been away for a week, and needed something to say [08:27] Ah. [08:27] I'm new here, and am mainly sticking around in the hopes that someone can explain why I lose TV signal after a few hours. [08:28] If I reboot, it works again. [08:28] Im not a developer.. but I'd say check your logs [08:29] once you've found something fishy, post it on the bulletin board for the developers to look over.. they'll tell you whats up [08:29] I'll take a look. [08:30] im pretty sure the answer is in there somewhere [08:31] Ah, here we go: [08:31] 2007-12-01 21:34:55.038 TVRec(1): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to RecordingOnly [08:31] 2007-12-01 21:36:33.799 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding [08:31] I'll see what the internet says about that. [08:31] right on [08:33] Hmm...some stuff from 2006... [08:34] ...which claims this was fixed a year and a half ago. Suspicious. [08:37] I guess I'll just hang out here a bit and see if a dev comes on; maybe they have insight into whether this issue has really been resolved. Do you know when they frequent this room? [09:06] anyone here is used to Gmyth? [09:33] trimeta i see them hanging about close to 10 hours from now [09:33] Sunday afternoon, that is? [09:33] some.. superm1 is my favorite although all of them are great.. he's here on weekdays for sure [14:06] hi there. is there somebody who can help with the configuration of my hauppauge remote? [14:07] i've got a nova-t. and i can't get it to work properly (anymore). [15:07] I'm running into an odd boot problem during install. Any takers? [15:45] I get an irsend error when I try to send a poweroff signal === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [18:18] i am having some trouble trying to compile firewire_tester.c and was hoping someone could help me out? I am using mythbuntu 7.10 and had to install gcc first but it still wont compile [18:36] where should i look for problems when just installing mythbuntu and getting a black screen on my tv? [18:36] nothing at all on my monitor [18:58] johnd, ping [19:41] How do you change grub config with mythbuntu? === croppa_ is now known as croppa [20:30] on what days are the weekly svn builds made? [20:31] today [20:31] oh, sweet [20:32] also, copy/pasted from the weekly build site: This repository will be maintained for the latest Ubuntu release only (At the time, this is Ubuntu 7.10, gutsy Fawn) [20:32] ha [20:32] tgm4883, you want to fix that? [20:32] sure [20:32] i'll make it Feisty Gibbon, hows that ;) [20:33] just fix the capitalization of what's there already [20:33] : [20:33] argh it looks like that weekly build for -fixes is going to be in trouble [20:33] howso? [20:33] because the branch has changed significantly [20:33] I'm really more concerned with the svn builds [20:33] i'll try it, but i suspect a FTBFS on it [20:33] the trunk one should be fine [20:34] FTBFS? [20:34] fail to build from source [20:38] Mersault, they're pushing right now, so i suspect that they will be built and on the mirrors by tomorrow morning [20:41] great [20:42] say, I have some niggling little problems with my install. How do I turn off the accelerating scrolling in mythmusic? [20:42] beats me [20:42] and also, on a mythbuntu install, what would I change in order to pass startup options to mythfrontend? [20:42] don't use it at all [20:43] in /etc/mythtv/session-settings? [20:43] yeah [20:44] hmm.. weird. I put -d in there, and it still tries to do the auto-search thing... [21:00] hi, are the linux headers on the mythbuntu cd? [21:01] fxr, they are avail on the repos [21:02] yeah, but i need them to build my wireless drivers. [21:02] so its a copy to cd jobbie? defs not on the build cd? [21:13] fxr, no they're not on the cd [21:13] neither is gcc/build env and such [21:14] fxr, what wireless drivers do you need that aren't available directly? [21:15] its a belkin wireless driver rt73, i cant get them working here by fiddlin, was gonna just use a procedure i know that works for edgy [21:17] fxr, o i c [21:17] fxr, well you can install without a network connection [21:17] and then add things in later [21:17] for the wireless and such [21:18] that way you can open up synaptic, mark the debs you need, make a download list, and download them from another computer [21:18] and bring them in on a flash drive or something similar [21:19] yeah.. ok.. aye ll just make my list and grab them from the repo's.. thanks.. just looking for a shortcut as ever ;p [21:20] the download list in synaptic is actually pretty nice if you've never used it :) [21:23] ok.. cool.. ll have a look at that.. thanks again [22:43] hey [22:44] anybody here from chicago [22:46] i need some help for a sports journalism class i want to compare how sports games are anounced difrently according to their region so currenlty im recording the bears vs gianst game in ny and i want to figure out how i can show its annoinced difrently in chicago [22:49] DAAAA BEARS [22:50] ya [22:50] u hae an idea at what i should do [22:51] no, I hate sports [22:51] pro sports anyway [22:52] k i dont really wtahc sports i just need ot do this for journalism class lol [22:56] if anybody was from chicago here it would really help lol [23:03] is there any known bugs creating directory symbolic links with mythbuntu? [23:03] 'sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build' [23:03] it just doesnt work and when i got to get properties from the link icon, it freaks out and dissappears -s [23:22] fxr, that's pretty odd [23:22] there is nothing special done to any of the basic utils in mythbuntu [23:22] fxr, did you make sure you had the headers installed already? [23:23] fxr are you using the single quote key or the tilde key (although it's not tilde is the other one) [23:27] yeah installed the headers.. i used the full path to rule out anything with the uname -r [23:27] i think there might be something wrong with the make file [23:32] fxr, you are still using the edgy howto for your card though? [23:32] have you checked for a gutsy on [23:32] one [23:32] taht is more updated [23:33] yeah had a look for that, the gutsy how to , refers back to the edgy one.. [23:33] i think its got something to do with the headers src [23:33] with the naming convention [23:33] i mean [23:34] uname -r = 2.6.22-14-generic .. whereas linux headers is kept in /usr/src/2.6.22-14 [23:35] its no biggy if i rename that directory right? [23:46] well i'd symlink [23:46] rather than rename [23:46] if i were you
