| eric[d] | hey all, I'm still getting my feet wet with myth on ubuntu, and I thought I'd ask for some advice... | 14:12 |
| eric[d] | I'm running myth on standard fiesty, and am thinking of moving to a mythbuntu install, which runs on gutsy | 14:12 |
| eric[d] | should I upgrade my box to standard gutsy first, then install the mythbuntu components? | 14:13 |
| eric[d] | I'm running a box with two tuners: a Hauppage PVR-250 and an ATI All-in-Wonder. | 14:14 |
| eric[d] | The ATI card has started intermittently become "unavailable", and a reboot doesn't help | 14:15 |
| eric[d] | I'm hoping a standard mythbuntu install will help(?). | 14:15 |
| eric[d] | Thanks in advance, I'll sit back for a while. =) | 14:15 |
| superm1 | eric[d], surprised to hear you've had any luck with the all-in-wonder in the first place | 14:21 |
| superm1 | but i'd say, go for the upgrade from feisty->gutsy first | 14:22 |
| superm1 | and if things are smooth, add on the mythbuntu components | 14:22 |
| superm1 | if for some reason they're not smooth, backup whatever you need and then install from the live disk | 14:22 |
| eric[d] | I was able to get the AIW to work using the custom firmware surprisingly quickly | 14:24 |
| eric[d] | getting it to tune in any channels was the hard part. | 14:25 |
| eric[d] | thanks for the advice. | 14:25 |
| superm1 | eric[d], interesting | 14:25 |
| superm1 | i've not heard of this custom firmware | 14:25 |
| superm1 | do you have some documentation you can point me to for some (light) reading upon the matter? | 14:26 |
| eric[d] | I may have misspoke, it's not custom to the AIW per se. Let me double check what I did | 14:27 |
| eric[d] | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_hardware_list | 14:27 |
| superm1 | is it an HD TV wonder? | 14:27 |
| eric[d] | I had to download and run a script to d/l the firmware | 14:28 |
| eric[d] | heh, yes | 14:28 |
| eric[d] | my bad | 14:28 |
| superm1 | oh okay that makes a lot more sense | 14:28 |
| eric[d] | I see it listed here under fiesty, but not under gutsy. Would that be a problem, you think? | 14:29 |
| eric[d] | ah, I can look that up. | 14:30 |
| eric[d] | I'm sure that's documented on the myth site somewhere | 14:30 |
| superm1 | it's supported under gutsy, just that page for gutsy probably hasn't had anyone update it with a "verified" mark | 14:31 |
| superm1 | whereas the hardware on the feisty page has had someone ack it | 14:31 |
| superm1 | should be the same situation though with just needing the firmware | 14:31 |
| eric[d] | well, I suppose I could do it. | 14:31 |
| superm1 | there are plenty of cards that use that driver otherwise | 14:31 |
| eric[d] | cool. I'm feeling optimistic (famous last words). I'll give it a try over the weekend. Thanks! | 14:34 |
| superm1 | have fun :) | 14:35 |
| superm1 | if you end up needing to use the mythbuntu disk, hopefully it goes very smooth, that's it goal. | 14:35 |
| eric[d] | yeah, I'm tempted to do a backup and fresh install just to get every component talking to the others in the way they expect. | 14:37 |
| eric[d] | superm1: heh, just saw you in a thread on the ubuntu forums | 14:38 |
| eric[d] | Thanks again, superm1 | 14:46 |

| pdragon | my parents get free HD channels on their TV by tuning to stations between others (like 67.5). Would the HDHomrun be the thing to get for them to be able to record those channels plus the other normal ones? | 15:33 |
| pdragon | would like to make them a mythtv box | 15:33 |
| pdragon | they don't have a digital box or anything from the cable company | 15:34 |
| bendailey | pdragon: yes hdhomerun should work great | 15:34 |
| pdragon | any idea whether schedulesdirect.org gets those in-between HD channels for their listings? | 15:36 |
| pdragon | or just have to check and see? | 15:36 |
| bendailey | are they getting them via cable feed or off the air? | 15:36 |
| pdragon | cable feed | 15:36 |
| pdragon | just the same cable line they've had forever | 15:36 |
| pdragon | only reason they have those channels now is cause of the new tv they got | 15:36 |
| bendailey | you will have to check schedules direct then | 15:37 |
| bendailey | yeah their new tv has a ATSC/QAM tuner which is what the hdhomerun has 2 of | 15:37 |
| pdragon | ahh ok | 15:38 |
| pdragon | thanks :) | 15:38 |
| bendailey | schedules direct has a 7 day free trial period so you can check for lineups without a commitment | 15:38 |
| ejk | I was able to map over the air schedules to my HD tuner card's channels using schedules direct | 15:38 |
| pdragon | perfect. that was my only real concern about building them one | 15:38 |
| pdragon | oh, i'd still get them an SD account for their regular stuff anyway even if it didn't have the inbetween HD ones | 15:39 |
| pdragon | was just curious if anyone else had seen if their SD account had them in it | 15:39 |
| ejk | I have that exact setup | 15:41 |
| ejk | I have 2 lineups from Schedules Direct: one for comcast, one as Local Antenna listings that map to the HD tuner's channels | 15:42 |
| bendailey | pdragon: the hdhomerun will not do "regular cable" just a clarification | 15:42 |
| pdragon | hmm... how does that work then when they want to record things on regular chanels? | 15:43 |
| ejk | all the unencrypted HD channels on comcast have the same channel number as the Antenna channels so they line up perfectly | 15:43 |
| ejk | They'll see two guides, one for regular cable, and one for the HD channels | 15:43 |
| bendailey | you will need an ntsc capture card probably one with a hardware mpeg encoder | 15:43 |
| pdragon | like a regular hp150? | 15:44 |
| bendailey | yeah | 15:44 |
| bendailey | here is a list: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Video_capture_card#Analog_Hardware-Encoding_Cards | 15:44 |
| pdragon | yeah, i have an hp150 myself in my mythbox | 15:45 |
| pdragon | ejk: how does that work with multiple guides? they see one guide when tuned to regular channels and a different guide when tuned to HD? | 15:45 |
| bendailey | you could opt for a kworld ATSC-115 which does ATSC/QAM as wells as NTSC without hardware encoder in one card but you have to create dependencies on tuners | 15:47 |
| bendailey | pdragon: you will have one guide with all channels in the case of duplicate contents you can set a priority to the HD tuners to get used first | 15:47 |
| bendailey | pdragon: I should clairfy that I can only speak for the svn version so if something isn't true for you my apologizes but it will be coming | 15:48 |
| pdragon | well, before i'd go building it, i'd probably post all my hardware to the forums and see if it's a workable solution | 15:49 |
| pdragon | didn't know they had all-in-one cards like that | 15:49 |
| pdragon | any disadvantage to not having a hardware encoder for the NTSC stuff? | 15:49 |
| bendailey | your main cpu will be busy encoding captured video | 15:50 |
| pdragon | so, just get a better CPU in it, and it would be fine? | 15:51 |
| directhex|bsp | there are several limitations on the file format used by lamegrabbers | 15:52 |
| bendailey | yeah cpu encoding isn't super tasking but it does burn cycles | 15:52 |
| directhex|bsp | e.g. capture from a digital tuner card will just work, over a network, with non-myth things like a ps3, but that's not the case with framegrabber output | 15:52 |
| bendailey | directhex|bsp: when have you had problems iwthe the file format? | 15:52 |
| directhex|bsp | it's also very low quality video | 15:53 |
| directhex|bsp | bendailey, NUV? since forever. nothing except myth understands it | 15:53 |
| bendailey | directhex|bsp: understand I never watch video on anything but myth | 15:53 |
| pdragon | so stuff recorded on regular channels would look like crap? :/ | 15:53 |
| bendailey | it will look good but will be playable by only myth | 15:54 |
| pdragon | that's fine | 15:54 |
| pdragon | iffy reviews of that all-in-one card | 15:56 |
| pdragon | seems a lot of people having sound problems and bad NTSC quality | 15:57 |
| bendailey | pdragon: possible I only use off air ATSC | 16:01 |
| pdragon | hmmm... looking like the better (but more expensive) choice is separate HD and NTSC tuners | 16:04 |
| pdragon | honestly, i think most of the stuff they still watch/record is NTSC. might be best to just get them an hp150 and if they want to record HD stuff, get them an HDHomerun later | 16:05 |
| pdragon | actually, hp500. need dual tuner | 16:06 |
| padan | I just got the pinnacle mce kit and I am trying to get lirc setup. I have it setup for mceusb2, the module is loaded, but I have no actual device loading up (eg. ls /dev/lirc* just returns the daemon driver, /dev/lircd) | 16:08 |
| padan | i am assuming that for some reason the ir/usb receiver is not working | 16:08 |
| padan | it is seen in lsusb: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2304:0225 Pinnacle Systems, Inc. [hex] | 16:09 |
| padan | any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? | 16:09 |
| ejk | sry pdragon was afk for a while | 16:37 |
| ejk | yes, you see a separate guide on each tuner, but the full guide shows them together | 16:39 |
| sebrock | anyone knows if pad2keys-patch is included in mythbuntu 7.10? or if it is possible to patch the source? | 16:45 |
| sebrock | is the lirc source even included in mythbuntu? | 16:45 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, you can apt-get source | 16:45 |
| superm1_ | it's on the deb-src repositories | 16:45 |
| superm1_ | the source isn't shipped on disk though to save space | 16:45 |
| pdragon | ejk: cool thanks | 16:46 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, which patch are you referring to | 16:46 |
| superm1_ | for pad2keys? | 16:46 |
| sebrock | superm1_ so can I apply it to the source, compile and just replace the lirc_imon and lirc_dev? | 16:46 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, if its for a kernel module, that's a little more troublesome | 16:46 |
| sebrock | superm1_ its a patch that makes a sertain PAD working on the imon remote | 16:46 |
| superm1_ | can you point me at the patch? | 16:47 |
| superm1_ | i can double check | 16:47 |
| sebrock | sure hold on | 16:47 |
| sebrock | superm1_ http://www.brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html | 16:47 |
| sebrock | I have no idea why this is not in lirc sources already | 16:48 |
| superm1_ | Okay that isn't in ours no | 16:49 |
| superm1_ | if you want to see it in hardy though, file a bug in LP against lirc with that patch referred to and/or attached | 16:49 |
| sebrock | hm, how do I get this into my lirc_imon and lirc_dev sources? | 16:49 |
| superm1_ | i would also say that you should send a message to the lirc-list and see if you can get this applied upstream | 16:49 |
| superm1_ | okay well so to apply this... | 16:49 |
| sebrock | superm1_ I think someone did this but it was rejected and told to put into lirc bugs instead | 16:50 |
| padan | i have a more or less clean install of mythbuntu and i need to modify one the code for mceusb2 to include my remote, but when I try and autoconf the lirc cvs I get this: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL | 16:50 |
| padan | any ideas as to why? | 16:50 |
| superm1_ | padan, did you apt-get builddep lirc? | 16:50 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, so start out by getting the build dependencies for lirc | 16:50 |
| superm1_ | by apt-get build-dep lirc | 16:50 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:50 |
| superm1_ | and then apt-get source lirc | 16:50 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:51 |
| superm1_ | and then apt-get devscripts | 16:51 |
| padan | nope, i'll give that shot | 16:51 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, and then you will apply the patch to that lirc tree that you have | 16:51 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:51 |
| superm1_ | and then you will increment the changelog version via dch | 16:51 |
| superm1_ | dch -i | 16:51 |
| superm1_ | is what will do it | 16:51 |
| sebrock | what is the last bit? | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | it makes sure that the package doesn't conflict with anything | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | so the current version is | 16:52 |
| sebrock | can I then remove the source? | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | 0.8.2-0ubuntu8 | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | well after you build this and install the deb yeah | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | your version will be 0.8.2-0ubuntu8+sebrock1 | 16:52 |
| sebrock | will it overwrite the lirc I have installed now? | 16:52 |
| superm1_ | it will replace the package | 16:53 |
| sebrock | or do I have to clean this first | 16:53 |
| superm1_ | that way if things don't work you can roll back to the old package | 16:53 |
| superm1_ | you are going to be building a deb out of this | 16:53 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:53 |
| sebrock | the deb how? | 16:53 |
| superm1_ | well once you make the new changelog entry | 16:53 |
| superm1_ | you type | 16:54 |
| superm1_ | debuild | 16:54 |
| superm1_ | and then it will build everything and make you all the .deb's | 16:54 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:54 |
| sebrock | well, I'll try | 16:54 |
| sebrock | is this the easiest way of patching? | 16:54 |
| superm1_ | well this is the "cleanest" | 16:55 |
| superm1_ | because if things fail, you just open synaptic and roll the package back | 16:55 |
| sebrock | ok, so it saves the old package somehow? | 16:55 |
| superm1_ | well the old package is just pulled from http if necessary | 16:56 |
| superm1_ | if you roll back | 16:56 |
| sebrock | ok | 16:57 |
| sebrock | thanks I'll try it | 16:57 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, hopefully that works out well | 16:58 |
| sebrock | however, you can consider putting the patch into your sources aswell | 16:58 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, please file a bug against lirc | 16:58 |
| sebrock | I cant imagine anyone with this remote that doesnt want this | 16:58 |
| sebrock | I'll do | 16:58 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, and i'll get to it next time i update lirc | 16:58 |
| superm1_ | otherwise will most definitely forget :) | 16:58 |
| sebrock | alright | 16:58 |
| sebrock | thank you! | 16:58 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, okay i need to be running for a little bit here. if you run into difficulties that no one else in the room can help you with, ping superm1 and i'll get to it when i get back later on tonight | 16:59 |
| padan | ok I just finished installing lirc from source and i have /dev/lirc now... irw starts and doesn't crash lircd, which is nice, but when I hit buttons on the remote, nothing is coming up in irw | 17:01 |
| sebrock | superm1_ just saw this: 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu1 includes the patches | 17:03 |
| sebrock | Hardy rep that is | 17:05 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, oh so i did apply it to hardy then :) | 17:08 |
| superm1_ | see i forget these things easily | 17:08 |
| superm1_ | easier solution for you then | 17:08 |
| superm1_ | grab the sources for hardy | 17:08 |
| superm1_ | and build them | 17:08 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lirc/lirc_0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu1.dsc | 17:09 |
| superm1_ | sebrock, then dpkg-source -x *.dsc | 17:09 |

| padan | i think i have my remote almost setup, but i need to use irrecord to create the config file. however, when I use irrecord, about 60 or so dots into the recording, it crashes with this error: | 20:24 |
| directhex | you need to state your problem, you don't ask to ask | 20:24 |
| padan | irrecord: could not find gap. | 20:24 |
| padan | irrecord: gap not found, can't continue | 20:24 |
| padan | it doesn't happen on any particular key | 20:24 |
| padan | anyone know why this is happening? | 20:24 |
| Jeff_D | well my problem is basically this. I'm installing mythbuntu on a computer. I select the first option which is something like "install on hard drive". then i go through the loading process, and when i get to a screen thats supposed to have white writing, 2 icons, and a bar at the top the picture is all distorted. it looks like i have 4 blurry desktops on my one screen. | 20:27 |
| directhex | ati graphics card? | 20:29 |
| Jeff_D | yes | 20:29 |
| directhex | notice how i guessed that detail, without you mentioning it? what does that suggest | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: you around? | 20:30 |
| Jeff_D | its not compatable is it? | 20:30 |
| padan | ati hasn't been as forthcoming with linux developers as nvidia has, but basic 2d support is availbale for the majority of ati cards, 3d support and hw acceleration is available with the ati driver from ati | 20:33 |
| directhex | random screwups is not uncommon | 20:33 |
| padan | i had no problems with the new radeon series after installing hte newest ati driver | 20:34 |
| Jeff_D | so i should try updating the driver before running the instaliation? | 20:34 |
| padan | no you have to do it after installation | 20:35 |
| padan | i do not know why you get the error you are getting | 20:36 |
| Jeff_D | well i might be able to rough it through with screen shots | 20:36 |
| padan | if that doesn't work you could always just try installing ubuntu and hten myth tv over that | 20:37 |
| Jeff_D | yes good point | 20:38 |
| padan | ive long since moved to nvidia for desktop machines | 20:38 |
| padan | but i still have a radeon in my laptop | 20:38 |
| Jeff_D | yes i had a nvidia actually but it wouldnt fit inside the case | 20:38 |
| Jeff_D | so i moved to a radeion because its cut out in the area where a part had to lay | 20:39 |
| Jeff_D | Linux X86 or X86_64 driver? | 20:39 |
| padan | what processor do you have? | 20:39 |
| padan | intel or amd? | 20:40 |
| Jeff_D | intel | 20:40 |
| padan | go with x86 then | 20:40 |
| Jeff_D | ok, thank you for all your help | 20:40 |
| padan | gl | 20:40 |
| directhex | padan, that's a bit of an all-encompasing suggestion isn't it? intel has been 64-bit since late pentium 4's | 20:42 |
| padan | they do | 20:42 |
| padan | but the standard core-dou type line is 32bit | 20:43 |
| padan | is it not? | 20:43 |
| padan | desktop procs | 20:43 |
| padan | i know the xeon line is 64 | 20:43 |
| directhex | core 1 was never released as a desktop cpu | 20:43 |
| directhex | core 2 is 64-bit | 20:43 |
| directhex | pentium-d is 64 bit as well | 20:43 |
| directhex | the new "pentium dual core" | 20:44 |
| directhex | and even celeron these days | 20:44 |
| padan | ok well 32bit will work no matter what intel processor he has | 20:44 |
| padan | 64 may or may not | 20:45 |
| padan | it also depends if he installed the 32bit binaries of mythbuntu | 20:45 |
| padan | or thre 64 | 20:45 |
| directhex | yes, that's a rather big question | 20:45 |
| Jeff_D | :O | 20:46 |
| padan | i was basically assuming that if he had amd then he may have dl'ed something like 'amd64' disk | 20:46 |
| padan | :) | 20:46 |
| padan | but its nice to know that the intels are 64bit for hte most part | 20:46 |

| MythbuntuGuest07 | Hi, I got a question about mythbuntu. I just built my PVR and tried to boot the CD last night. I downloaded the AMD64 build and put the CD in. It boot the CD and I chose Start Mythbuntu. My screen went blank. I waited for around 5 minutes, and then gave up for the night and went to bed. It may just be because I didn't wait long enough, but it seemed wierd that the Monitor turned off. When I have installed ubuntu on other computer | 21:23 |
| tgm4883 | what video card? | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814127297 | 21:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | MSI NX8500GT | 21:24 |
| tgm4883 | does the motherboard have onboard video? | 21:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | yes | 21:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | i believe so | 21:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | i'll look it up on newegg | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | is it possible that it's trying to use the onboard video? | 21:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135039 | 21:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | yea it has onboard video | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | 6100, not bad | 21:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | I thought about that, and tried pluggin in the monitor on the onboard, but there was still no signal | 21:26 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 21:26 |
| tgm4883 | have you tried the safe graphics mode? | 21:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | then again, i was really tired last night when i was doing this. When i get off work, I am going to try again | 21:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | No, I didn't. I tried the Check for CD Defects, but when I ran that - the monitor turned off again, and I coudln't see the results | 21:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | btw, thanks tgm4883 for the help. I talked to you yesterday about C2D and HD and HDHomeRun. | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | np | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | i'd try the safe graphics mode and see if that works for yo | 21:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | k, thanks. I'll try it when I get off work. I should have thought of that last night | 21:29 |
| mindframe- | MythbuntuGuest07, safe graphics mode is best bet. After installation is complete go get the nvidia beta drivers and install them. | 21:36 |
| mindframe- | tgm4883, no surprise that LG still hasnt responded to my request for the specs on that TV. | 21:37 |
| mindframe- | i ended up using my girlfriends 30" olevia LCD | 21:38 |
| mindframe- | LG moved to the bedroom with the xbox | 21:38 |
| tgm4883 | kinda a little surprised | 21:39 |
| Jeff_D | (16:17:44) (tgm4883) Jeff_D, did you try the safe graphics mode? <- no im about to try that, thank you | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | LG at least sticks the RS232 commands in their books | 21:39 |
| mindframe- | well they were claiming that "your TV is not meant to be hooked up to a computer so we don't provide refresh rates for it" | 21:40 |
| mindframe- | i love the picture on that tv though | 21:40 |
| mindframe- | slim CRT | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | how do you have it hooked up? | 21:40 |
| mindframe- | i HAD it hooked up via HDMI | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | what TV is it again? | 21:41 |
| mindframe- | LG 32FS4D-UC | 21:41 |
| mindframe- | also known as 30FS4D | 21:42 |
| tgm4883 | heh | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | from the manual | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | Check the image on your TV set. There may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in HDMI | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | Source Devices. If noise is present, change the HDMI Source Devices to another resolution, change the refresh rate or adjust the bright- | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | ness and contrast on the menu until the picture is clear. | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | "oh just change the refresh rate, ok" | 21:45 |
| * tgm4883 blows up tv | 21:45 | |
| Jeff_D | well it works in safe graphics mode | 21:46 |
| Jeff_D | so should i continue to install and then update the graphics driver? | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | Jeff_D, I would say yes | 21:47 |
| Jeff_D | ok, thanks | 21:47 |
| * Jeff_D runs into other room | 21:47 | |
