| DaveMorris | well if wweasel comes back and reads the logs, just change it from composite to svideo in the /etc/X11/xorg file if you are unsure how to do that it may be quicker to reinstall since it's a new system if you don't know what to change since I'm off to bed now after been at the pub | 00:14 |

| hansoffate | hi | 03:33 |
| hansoffate | I have a question about setting up the display w/ a TV. I have the comp hooked up w/ Svideo, but my left and right sides are cut off a bit | 03:34 |
| hansoffate | is there anyway to fix this? | 03:34 |
| hansoffate | also, i can't seem to pull the data from schedule direct | 04:23 |
| hansoffate | tgm4883: do you know why I am unable to pull data from schedule direct? | 04:31 |
| bkr | evening everyon | 04:53 |
| bkr | everyone even | 04:53 |
| bkr | having an issue getting installed... | 04:54 |
| bkr | xorg keeps erroring out with the message "can't read vbios". I'm currently running with an ATI rage 128 and the onboard graphics... any suggestions? | 04:54 |
| firekool | Hi i am setting up my mythbuntu system and trying to get svideo to work on my nvidia gefource 6200 all I can get it the command prompt becouse the settings are incorrect in svideo how to I run a reconfiguration | 04:57 |
| bkr | firekool, is the rest of the system set up? | 04:59 |
| firekool | yes I just completed the install | 04:59 |
| firekool | and enabled svideo with defaults and it did not work and took out my monitor that is connected to it | 05:00 |
| bkr | ah, I think you can look at the xorg.conf file, though I haven't played with things in a very long time. I'm having video issues myself | 05:00 |
| firekool | well i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org and it said it was not installed | 05:00 |
| bkr | hmm, you have an active x windowing system though? | 05:01 |
| firekool | yes | 05:05 |
| firekool | i just installed it | 05:05 |
| bkr | hmm, well, see if you can view the config files in vi or emacs or something and check the s-video settings there | 05:06 |
| bkr | I'm not sure how you'd reconfigure just that part since I'm just coming back to linux after a long time and many things have changed... | 05:07 |
| firekool | ya i forgot where those were at | 05:07 |
| bkr | go to / and do a find *xorg.conf | 05:08 |
| bkr | that should find the files you're looking for | 05:08 |
| bkr | wish I could be more help than that | 05:09 |
| firekool | nno that is not it ither | 05:09 |
| firekool | now I just have to figure out how to get my x to work composite | 05:14 |
| skwashd | what would cause mythtv to have really low signal < 25% ... while everything is fine with kaffeine? | 05:24 |
| hansoffate | anyone active here? | 05:52 |
| hansoffate | i am wondering on accessing mythweb | 05:52 |
| firekool | hi I just installed my system and it seams as if vnc is not working | 09:36 |
| firekool | i am using vnc viewer and it does not want to connect | 09:36 |
| KjetilK | I have discovered that I have two IR receivers in my box, one is supported by lirc_imon, the other is supported by lirc_pvr150 | 10:37 |
| KjetilK | (the latter is a attached to a Hauppauge PVR-150 card) | 10:38 |
| KjetilK | only the imon device was detected bu Mythbuntu and configured | 10:38 |
| KjetilK | I haven't got a remote for the imon, only for the pvr150 | 10:38 |
| KjetilK | and mode2 doesn't detect anything, so I figured I should get the pvr150 working in addition to the imon | 10:38 |
| KjetilK | If I try to insert the lirc_pvr150 module, I get | 10:39 |
| KjetilK | [184080.864195] kobject_add failed for i2c ir driver with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. | 10:39 |
| KjetilK | Supposedly, I would need to get them to use different /dev/lirc's, but how do I do that? | 10:39 |
| KjetilK | I'm trying to follow the guide in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Gutsy for setting up two devices | 13:17 |
| KjetilK | but I'm stuck at Starting lirc daemon: lircd/etc/init.d/lirc: 147: -d: not found | 13:17 |
| KjetilK | anybody else seen that? | 13:17 |
| sebrock | anyone knows how I can add music by album in mythmusuc? | 14:13 |
| sebrock | *mythmusic | 14:13 |
| alexvd | Hi just wondering if this can be fixed quickly. I have seen the posts in the forums and I have had this issue on other distros but I will ask anyway. I have a pvr-250 and using the silver dogbone remote A415. I set it up in the control panel by selecting happaugge. It basically works except for the "back/exit" key which is really annoying. Now I know I can go into the lircc file and edit but why would just the back/ex | 14:19 |
| alexvd | it key not work? I saw reference to running a new script? Should I do this or just modify the lircc file and then setup the jumpoints for the top few keys that TV videos music. etcc.. | 14:19 |
| alexvd | Ok I looked at the lircc file. Who set this up and why is this the default? The escape key is mapped to the stop button. I sure hope this is a bug because that is just plain dumb | 14:32 |
| alexvd | looks like the lircc file has multiple happaugge remotes all in one. Sort of smart but why not just have more options on the startup menu and Like Happaugge Grey Remote, Happaugge Silver remote, Nova T, blah blah | 14:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | When trying to install the latest mythbuntu on my system, I do not get very far... I select install, and after a few minutes I see a gray screen with lines and dots scrolling from side to side. | 17:18 |
| DaveMorris | MythbuntuGuest59: have you got a digital camera to take some pics with? | 17:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | i will try that | 17:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | Where can I post it? | 18:04 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, did you try safe graphics mode? | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | sounds like he seeing the usplash | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | just corrupted | 18:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | i tried both modes. yes | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, you will have to post the picture to some online pic place | 18:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | okay, give me a minute to post it | 18:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=227557&id=592379882 I dont know if that will work for you or not... | 18:17 |
| tgm4883 | nope | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | i have no facebook account | 18:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | ok, let me try to get into image shack... | 18:18 |
| alexvd | Hi just got completed putting together a slavebackend/frontend for hdtv viewing that connects to the mythbackend. My issue is that when I launch Livetv for the ivtv cards the screen goes green garbled blocks. I can hear audio but its foobar. | 18:19 |
| alexvd | It doesnt happen all the time | 18:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | http://picasaweb.google.com/Jared.Renee/Computer/photo?authkey=Rli1nliaXXQ#5144637163061773746 | 18:20 |
| tgm4883 | DaveMorris, ^^ | 18:20 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, does it sit like that forever? | 18:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | yes.. at least 4 hours until I gave up | 18:21 |
| tgm4883 | strange | 18:22 |
| tgm4883 | what vid card? | 18:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | its a kworld globa tv terminator | 18:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | tv 7135, I think | 18:24 |
| alexvd | Hey TGM4883 I have an older motherboard and udev keeps changing the card assignments is thier a easy way in ubuntu to lock them | 18:24 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, thats the tuner, what video card do you have | 18:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | onboard | 18:25 |
| tgm4883 | what kind of computer? | 18:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | custom... ADM sempron 3000+ | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | what motherboard? | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | alexvd, same question | 18:26 |
| alexvd | asus pc3ls | 18:27 |
| alexvd | its old | 18:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | ECZ Goal3 | 18:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | * sorry, ECS Goal3 | 18:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813135060 | 18:27 |
| alexvd | i dont want to lock the irq is bios | 18:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | any ideas? | 18:38 |
| tgm4883 | back | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, does a ubuntu live cd work | 18:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | I dont have one... I have run openSUSE 10.2 on this computer before | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | my best guess is that it is a video card issue, which from the research im doing, i still don't know what it is | 18:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | does the install require a tv tuner card? | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | no | 18:45 |
| tgm4883 | you can strip it down to bare bones and try to install | 18:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | I can try it on a spare HDD on my desktop to see the results | 18:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | I will report back it a little while | 18:46 |
| tgm4883 | MythbuntuGuest59, i think i found the video chipset | 18:47 |
| tgm4883 | Integrated SiS Ultra256 2D/3D Graphics | 18:47 |
| alexvd | tgm4883 sorry had to do baby stuff, so I know that I can write udev rules but its a pain in the butt. Anyway in ubuntu to keep the device assignements from changing | 18:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest59 | I installed a different graphics card and it worked, thanks | 19:10 |
| ricanelite | i have directtv and my receiver has s-video and my Geforce 8400 GS has S-Video input can I record or watch tv using Mythtv? | 19:43 |
| directhex | are you absolutely positive your geforce has s-video in? most only have it out | 19:44 |
| directhex | if so, then yes, but all encoding is done by your host cpu, which has many downsides besides increased cpu load | 19:45 |
| ricanelite | oh wait you know what, let me see | 19:46 |
| ricanelite | oh forget it is out | 19:46 |
| ricanelite | lol | 19:46 |
| Iolaus | Hey all, I'm looking to set up my new PC as a diskless front-end. Is this supported by Mythbuntu yet? | 20:18 |
| Daviey | not out of the box | 20:34 |
| Daviey | Iolaus: ^ | 20:34 |
| Iolaus | Daviey, are there instructions available anywhere to set it up for diskless operation? | 20:39 |
| alexvd | Hi i am getting tons of iobound errors and buffer overflow | 20:40 |
| alexvd | How can I check DMA | 20:40 |
| alexvd | in ubuntu | 20:40 |
| Iolaus | alternatively, do you know if a diskless OOTB option is coming? | 20:40 |
| Daviey | Iolaus: Not AFAIK, but if you mimic the ubuntu ones - then report any bugs, that would be good | 20:40 |
| Daviey | PXE + NFS root should be good | 20:40 |
| Iolaus | sounds good, I'll look up some Ubuntu PXE boot guides and see if I can't get Mythbuntu to work diskless then | 20:41 |
| Daviey | Iolaus: infact, if you can document it - we can include it in the manual... next should include a tool as part of myth-control-centre | 20:44 |
| alexvd | anyone ever have an issue when you launch livetv you get screen filled with green pixel garbage | 20:52 |
| alexvd | i have used this same setup for knoppmyth and had no issues i was also able to watch livetv for a bit without issue but now i get green garbage all over the screen with good audio | 20:53 |
| Daviey | alexvd: what graphics card? | 20:55 |
| alexvd | nvidia 6600 pcx | 20:55 |
| alexvd | running latest driver nvidia restricted | 20:55 |
| alexvd | i am running it with componenent out never had a problem before | 20:56 |
| alexvd | Daviey today I mucked in nvidia settings and turned off vsync but thats about it | 20:57 |
| alexvd | i am getting terrible performance in mythbuntu for some reason | 20:57 |
| alexvd | Daviey: My performance sucks in ubuntu. I just read about issues with enabling hdparm. What kind of speeds should I see on a udma 100 drive | 21:02 |
| KjetilK | alexvd: I seem to remember that I've had around 40 Mb/s | 21:03 |
| alexvd | ok how do i check on a scsi drive ? ultra 160 | 21:04 |
| alexvd | also should udma drives be at 4 or 5? | 21:06 |
| KjetilK | alexvd: you can check with hdparm -t /dev/sda | 21:09 |
| KjetilK | for example.. | 21:09 |
| alexvd | on a scsi drive? it doesnt return a value | 21:09 |
| alexvd | i dont think hdparm works on scsi drives | 21:09 |
| KjetilK | errr, right, you may be right | 21:10 |
| * KjetilK had SATA on his mind... | 21:10 | |
| alexvd | i think you need to run sdparm | 21:10 |
| alexvd | so i am getting buffered read speeds on the 4 pata drives from 30mb to 76 | 21:10 |
| alexvd | wierd | 21:11 |
| KjetilK | right, I've never done this on a SCSI drive... | 21:11 |
| alexvd | well what is screwing me up is the move to scsi emulation for all drives under new debian/ubuntu | 21:11 |
| alexvd | i have another drive in my box that is sata | 21:11 |
| alexvd | i have to check that one as well | 21:12 |
| KjetilK | Anybody know if patching LIRC for IR receiving only is needed as described in http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24 ? | 21:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest70 | Hi, anyone know much about having to re commflag after transcoding? | 21:48 |
| hansoffate | Is there a way to make the picture quality better on a PVR 150? | 22:44 |
| famicon | Hi there! | 22:51 |
| famicon | I just got my mythbuntu install running | 22:51 |
| famicon | The configuration app is brilliant | 22:51 |
| puzzled | hi | 22:52 |
| puzzled | with which app can I change the sysv init services to start during boot? | 22:53 |
| famicon | VI | 22:53 |
| puzzled | as in the editor? | 22:53 |
| famicon | yes | 22:54 |
| puzzled | really? rhel/centos/fedora have ntsysv and system-config-services. ubuntu has vi? | 22:54 |
| puzzled | so there isn't a gui with which I can change this stuff? | 22:55 |
| famicon | real men don't need gui's | 22:55 |
| famicon | but all manliness aside | 22:55 |
| famicon | there should be a proggy called "BUM" | 22:55 |
| puzzled | locate comes up empty | 22:57 |
| famicon | komop zeg patrick | 22:57 |
| famicon | wees ff niet zo'n lui iemand | 22:57 |
| famicon | check gewoon ff met synaptics | 22:58 |
| puzzled | ok | 22:58 |
| puzzled | niet lui, gewoon totaal onbekend met *buntu/debian. lijkt alsof ik op een andere planeet ben aanbeland | 22:59 |
| hansoffate | what language is that? | 23:01 |
| puzzled | Dutch | 23:02 |
| hansoffate | interesting, cool | 23:03 |
| puzzled | my /var/lib/myth/videos is an nfs share. problem is that during boot, it tries to mount the nfs share before the NetworkManager service is started. Obviously it fails. Anyone know how I fix this? | 23:07 |
