| famicon_ | Is there anyone "in charge" of mythbuntu? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Daviey | https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu | 00:14 |
| Daviey | The Mythbuntu team | 00:14 |
| famicon_ | Can i get involved? | 00:14 |
| famicon_ | I've built a small silent VIA based PVR | 00:15 |
| famicon_ | And i'm hoping to turn it into a commercial product | 00:15 |
| famicon_ | but I still need to work on the linux backend | 00:15 |
| Daviey | Sure, you can get involved - but you don't need to join the team for that to happen | 00:16 |
| Daviey | If there is something that can be improved you can submit patches | 00:17 |
| Daviey | helping in here and the forums is a *big* help | 00:17 |
| famicon_ | hah, I'll be here from now on 24/7 if needed | 00:17 |
| Daviey | cool! | 00:17 |
| famicon_ | also, is there any possibillity of perhaps rolling out a different kernel for mythbuntu | 00:18 |
| Daviey | why? | 00:18 |
| Daviey | remember mythbuntu mimics kernel version of ubuntu | 00:19 |
| famicon_ | support for certain PVR hardware and specific chipsets | 00:19 |
| famicon_ | true true | 00:19 |
| Daviey | well hardy isn't that far away really | 00:19 |
| Daviey | We are reluctant to push changes lke that mid-release | 00:20 |
| famicon_ | How many more months/ | 00:20 |
| Daviey | April | 00:20 |
| famicon_ | oooh | 00:20 |
| tgm4883 | 5 | 00:20 |
| famicon_ | yeah i understand | 00:20 |
| famicon_ | how much longer before upstream freeze? | 00:20 |
| Daviey | yonks | 00:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i believe it already has | 00:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule | 00:21 |
| famicon_ | I believe it did | 00:21 |
| famicon_ | 13th | 00:21 |
| famicon_ | hah | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | Daviey, do you know when the repo freezes? | 00:22 |
| Daviey | timeline is on the wiki somewhere | 00:22 |
| Daviey | but we have a good amount of time left | 00:22 |
| famicon_ | March 13th | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | is it the feature freeze or the beta freeze? | 00:22 |
| famicon_ | feature | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | that would be Feb 14th then | 00:23 |
| famicon_ | yeah | 00:23 |
| famicon_ | Eh, wouldnt know | 00:23 |
| tgm4883 | yea, it's the feature freeze | 00:23 |
| famicon_ | I have worked for a project before | 00:23 |
| tgm4883 | did we get excemption for .21 yet? | 00:23 |
| famicon_ | that got backported to i think feisty | 00:23 |
| famicon_ | its pretty cool to see your own code inside the repos | 00:24 |
| Yutlin | Hey all, I'm working on getting a diskless Ubuntu system to network boot. I've followed the guide online and the system now gets an IP and begins booting the provided kernel. The problem is, during boot I get a kernel panic with the error message: "Can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf". I've configured /tmp to be type tmpfs in fstab but there seems to be some problem. Any suggestions? | 00:51 |
| Yutlin | diskless mythbuntu that is | 00:52 |
| Daviey | Yutlin: i'd recommend NFS root (/) | 00:52 |
| Yutlin | Daviey, I'm not following | 00:53 |
| Daviey | PXE boot for the kernel.. then the root filesystem is mounted via VFS | 00:53 |
| Yutlin | Daviey, I do have the root specified as NFS in fstab | 00:54 |
| Daviey | hmm | 00:54 |
| Yutlin | it seems somehow though, despite the fact that I've marked /tmp as tmpfs in the fstab that there is some trouble writing to /tmp/net-eth0.conf while booting | 00:55 |
| Daviey | no idea, sorry | 00:55 |
| Daviey | worked for me :( | 00:55 |
| Yutlin | bummer, I'm a bit stuck | 00:56 |
| Daviey | Yutlin: if you find the solution can you let me know - just in case? | 01:01 |
| Yutlin | Daviey, I found something about adding the network module to /etc/initramfs/modules | 01:06 |
| Yutlin | but I'm not sure how I go about finding the module for my nic | 01:06 |
| Yutlin | here's a link to someone with, what seems to be the same problem, and the proposed solution: http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32644.html | 01:07 |
| Yutlin | Any idea how I can determine what module I need to add to the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file? | 01:08 |
| Yutlin | muahahahaha! PXE Boot success! | 01:54 |
| Yutlin | had to add a module for my network card and then had to overcome a bug with Network Manager trying to re-initialize the nic | 01:55 |
| jumpkick | where can I find the setting to tell XvMC off for Myth? | 02:33 |
| jumpkick | its seems to be the last thing the front end complains about before it crashes on my Nvida 7600 | 02:33 |
| skwashd | what would cause mythtv to have really low dvb-t signal < 25% ... while everything is fine with kaffeine? | 02:34 |
| skwashd | btw i am using a winfast usb with right up to date mythbuntu | 02:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | jumpkick, probably in the frontend playback settings | 02:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | jumpkick, also, can we setup a torrent server on your server? | 02:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | for the mythbuntu release | 02:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | superm1 was supposed to give me your contact info but never did, and I wasn't sure if he contacted you about this either | 02:49 |
| Yutlin | can anyone tell me if the taskbar is supposed to be showing on my front-end? | 03:41 |
| Yutlin | it seems to be pushing the mythtv front-end too low so the bottom of the app is cut off | 03:41 |
| JThundley | fullscreen the frontend | 04:15 |
| JThundley | there's an option in the setup, "run the frontend in a window" or some option | 04:16 |
| Yutlin | I believe it is running in fullscreen, that is the strange thing | 05:00 |
| Yutlin | I can't resize the window at all, but I do see the window's title bar as well as the task bar | 05:00 |
| Yutlin | I was wrong, the window mode was enabled | 05:42 |
| tazgodx | how does mythbuntu set up drives if i select guided use entire disk? | 06:20 |
| superm1 | nothing different than standard ubuntu atm | 06:24 |
| tazgodx | ?? MCC | 07:52 |
| superm1 | mythbuntu-control-centre | 07:54 |
| tazgodx | thanks | 07:54 |
| tazgodx | :) | 07:54 |
| tazgodx | decided i would reinstall everything and couldn't figure out how to type that :) | 07:54 |
| tazgodx | you truely are a great man superm1 | 07:56 |
| superm1 | :) | 07:56 |
| tazgodx | finally decided to switch out my HDDs | 07:59 |
| superm1 | whew that took you some time | 07:59 |
| tazgodx | yeah | 07:59 |
| tazgodx | haha | 07:59 |
| tazgodx | since then i havne't been using this box, live TV was driving me NUTS | 08:00 |
| superm1 | well so is it all better now? | 08:01 |
| tazgodx | so far seems so | 08:02 |
| tazgodx | my other tuner card is screwed up somehow | 08:02 |
| tazgodx | but ill work on it tomorrow | 08:02 |
| tazgodx | and im gonna need to set up the serial IR Blaster for my digital cable | 08:03 |
| tazgodx | god now that i look at this, i still have a lot of work :( | 08:03 |
| tazgodx | if i put a folder with a ripped DVD with all the .vob files in it in the videos dir, would it notice it as a DVD? | 08:08 |
| superm1 | um. i don't believe so | 08:09 |
| tazgodx | yeah didn't think so either | 08:10 |
| tazgodx | OHHH, and it does work...just FYI for ya :) | 08:22 |
| firekool | hi my mythtv will not play dvd and it does have the correct items installed | 11:50 |
| firekool | Hi I am trying to get my soundlaster audigy SE card working I can not seam to get surround sound | 13:20 |
| famicon | firekool did you load the driver | 14:09 |
| firekool | thanks famicon for helping I duno | 14:10 |
| famicon | "soundblaster audigy se" "surround not working" "ubuntu" | 14:10 |
| famicon | google that | 14:10 |
| firekool | I just did a fresh install this is driving me insane I tried going https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound?highlight=%28surround%29%7C%28sound%29 and following directions http://www.halfgaar.net/surround-sound-in-linux but /etc/asound.conf: is not found | 14:10 |
| directhex|bsp | firekool, when you say "surround not working", how exactly are you testing it? how are your speakers connected? | 14:11 |
| firekool | directhex|speakers are connected correctly | 14:12 |
| directhex|bsp | firekool, connected using what? | 14:12 |
| firekool | I only hear out of left and right they are connected regular audio jack | 14:12 |
| firekool | it is a 5.1 speaker system | 14:12 |
| directhex|bsp | three 3.5mm stereo jacks? | 14:13 |
| firekool | speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav is what I am using to test | 14:13 |
| firekool | yes directhex| | 14:13 |
| directhex|bsp | get rid of "-twav" | 14:14 |
| directhex|bsp | you should get static on each speaker in turn. when it says it's testing a rear speaker, do you get silence or sound from the front speakers? | 14:14 |
| firekool | only left and right front I hear sound | 14:15 |
| directhex|bsp | so it's silent otherwise? | 14:15 |
| firekool | yes | 14:15 |
| directhex|bsp | does your card have any combination jacks (e.g. rear speakers double up as line-in)? | 14:16 |
| firekool | I have a sound blaster audigy SE | 14:16 |
| firekool | so I think I do | 14:16 |
| firekool | yes i do directhex| | 14:18 |
| firekool | directhex| Do you think that buying a new sound card would be easyer and if so what one should I get | 14:19 |
| directhex|bsp | i'm looking | 14:20 |
| directhex|bsp | not 100% sure what to suggest, i don't see any evidence suggesting known issues with surround on that card | 14:21 |
| firekool | I got this card becouse the Via Chipset one was not working either | 14:22 |
| firekool | lol directhex| I found out what the problem was becouse my screen is cut off I could not find the mixer | 14:37 |
| firekool | i ran alsamixer turned up the volume and they all work now | 14:38 |
| directhex|bsp | well, that's some money saved | 14:38 |
| directhex|bsp | it certaily seemed odd that it wasn't working O_o | 14:38 |
| firekool | what is the command for the graphical mixer | 14:38 |
| directhex|bsp | alsamixergui, i think | 14:39 |
| directhex|bsp | or you can access all of alsamixer's functions via the gnome volume control if you know how | 14:39 |
| firekool | thank you a bunch for your help | 14:39 |
| firekool | well i am in xfce | 14:39 |
| directhex|bsp | xfce4-mixer ought to work | 14:40 |
| firekool | ya I need to ajust my resolution so I can see that part of the screen | 14:41 |
| firekool | thank you a lot | 14:42 |
| firekool | directhex| would I need to add a command to acculy utalize my surround sound in mplayer | 14:50 |
| directhex|bsp | mplayer? not sure, i use digital audio, so surround gets passed to my receiver | 14:53 |
| firekool | how much did the digital audio system cost ya | 14:53 |
| directhex|bsp | try adding "-channels 6" to the mplayer command | 14:53 |
| directhex|bsp | it's a high-end amp, so £400 for that. plus cost of speakers | 14:54 |
| firekool | eww ya I am not that rich yet | 14:55 |
| firekool | I just had a spare system laying around so i desided to put it to use | 14:55 |
| firekool | http://alsa.opensrc.org/SurroundSound says put in mplayer -channels 6 -ao alsa:mmap:noblock:device=hw=0.1 dvd://4 is all the rest of that nessesary | 14:56 |
| directhex|bsp | wouldn't have though so | 15:01 |
| directhex|bsp | try without, to start with | 15:01 |
| firekool | how much extra configuration did you do to use your digital audio | 15:05 |
| directhex|bsp | one tickbox in the myth config. i'm using the internal player for video, so no mplayer messing required | 15:06 |
| firekool | a internal player? | 15:06 |
| firekool | well I tried it both ways and they both do not work | 15:07 |
| directhex|bsp | the internal player. configure mythvideo to use "Internal" as the player command | 15:07 |
| firekool | I will try that that is in dvd configuration right | 15:09 |
| firekool | DVD player is set to internal | 15:10 |
| firekool | if I am using surround sound do I need to configure anything for audio | 15:12 |
| firekool | I think I am going to go check out some speakers becouse This is getting frustrating | 15:15 |
| firekool | I am sure i can find some cheap ones that will safice | 15:18 |
| Yutlin | Hey all, can anyone help me get my ATI Remote Wonder working with Mythbuntu? | 15:53 |

| marcelbkr | anyone around? | 19:42 |
| tgm4883 | !ask | 19:42 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 19:42 |
| marcelbkr | haha ok | 19:43 |
| marcelbkr | i'm trying to accomplish this.. | 19:43 |
| marcelbkr | i have windows vista with an lcd monitor and a hdmi connection to a lcd tv | 19:44 |
| marcelbkr | and i also have vmware workstation 6 with mythbuntu installed | 19:44 |
| marcelbkr | and will be using that as the media center for the lcd tv | 19:44 |
| marcelbkr | now when I try to install vmware tools on mythbuntu it mounts the drive but all I get is jibberish in the file manager | 19:45 |
| marcelbkr | anyone? | 19:52 |
| tgm4883 | wait a bit, people should come around and see your question | 19:53 |
| marcelbkr | ok :) | 19:54 |
| superm1 | i wouldn't use mythbuntu in that method | 20:05 |
| superm1 | you won't get very good performance | 20:05 |
| superm1 | you are better off with a dual boot | 20:06 |
| marcelbkr | i want to run them simulatenously | 20:06 |
| marcelbkr | it seems to be performing fast | 20:06 |
| marcelbkr | i have tried windows media center but it basically sucks | 20:08 |
| marcelbkr | i have also tried gbpvr and mediaportal but they aren't that good either | 20:08 |
| rhpot1991 | have a separate master backend that always runs and then just access that through the vm might run better | 20:12 |
| marcelbkr | how do i do that? | 20:14 |
| rhpot1991 | you would need the hardware first of all, and then its an option when installing mythbuntu where you select which roll the box will have | 20:17 |
| marcelbkr | what do i need for hardware | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | another computer | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | with all the parts you would need for any old backend | 20:17 |
| marcelbkr | all i want to use mythbuntu or any mediacenter program for is a center for playing music and videos i have on my hard drive and emulators | 20:18 |
| marcelbkr | not for recording tv or anything | 20:18 |
| rhpot1991 | but, if you are unhappy with media center why not just only boot mythbuntu | 20:18 |
| rhpot1991 | just wire up to your tv and use itunes then | 20:19 |
| marcelbkr | hmm | 20:19 |
| marcelbkr | the only problem i have with windows media center is the focusing issue..if you know what i mean | 20:20 |
| rhpot1991 | not really, never used it | 20:20 |
| marcelbkr | i much prefer ubuntu in general over vista but its not practical for me yet | 20:20 |
| tgm4883 | practical, whats practical | 20:21 |
| rhpot1991 | I guess having a drm loaded OS is much more practical.... | 20:22 |
| marcelbkr | i mean certain programs are only available for windows, i have tried wine but its not developed far enough | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991 | 2gb of ram to run an OS is practical too | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991 | like? | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | what programs? | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, I have 2GB of ram on my desktop | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | but then again, i run like 3 virtual machines at the same time | 20:23 |
| marcelbkr | simply accounting 2008, autocad architecture, quicken 2008, newsleecher, msn messenger w/ msg-plus and a-patch | 20:23 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, I'm saying you need 2gb of ram for vista to run decent, thats unnecessary | 20:23 |
| tgm4883 | wow | 20:23 |
| marcelbkr | vista is a hog for resources | 20:23 |
| rhpot1991 | msn messanger == pidgin | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | it's almost like you went to find a list of programs that dont run | 20:24 |
| rhpot1991 | quickern == gnucash | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | why do you run simply accounting 2008 and quicken 2008? | 20:24 |
| marcelbkr | for my job | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | just because you have 2 doesn't mean it's an independant auditor | 20:24 |
| marcelbkr | if i could seamlessly run simply and quicken and newsleecher i would switch in the next ten minutes | 20:25 |
| tgm4883 | what do you run for antivirus? | 20:26 |
| marcelbkr | kaspersky | 20:26 |
| superm1 | marcelbkr, perhaps it would make more sense to make mythbuntu the primary os however and having the windows apps you need running in your virtual machine | 20:26 |
| superm1 | since then it gets access directly to your hardware (tuners et al) | 20:26 |
| marcelbkr | i was thinking about that | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | yea, im not sure that runs well under wine either | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | yea | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | although im not sure i'd run vista | 20:26 |
| marcelbkr | i hate to say it but vista is running perfect for me with certain tweaks applied and multiple things disabled as well as having sp1 rc installed | 20:27 |
| rhpot1991 | I was going to say that, but then I thought boy vista would run like crap in a VM | 20:27 |
| marcelbkr | if i were to run ubuntu with a windows vm the vm would probably be xp | 20:28 |
| tgm4883 | well maybe not | 20:28 |
| tgm4883 | how much ram would you have? | 20:28 |
| * superm1 gets back to bug fixing | 20:28 | |
| rhpot1991 | ya xp should run fine there, wasn't sure if you had a license or anything | 20:28 |
| tgm4883 | my XP VM runs fine with 512 ram | 20:28 |
| rhpot1991 | marcelbkr: you don't have any old computers laying around? | 20:29 |
| marcelbkr | hmm i'm assuming that my ati radeon hd 2400 pro would run fine with ubuntu | 20:29 |
| marcelbkr | unfortunately i dont have any old computers around | 20:29 |
| rhpot1991 | go buy a $200 one from walmart and make that a mythbox and just samba share your music to it | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | might be easier than messing with vm's | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | and get you what you want | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | though I do hate walmart... | 20:30 |
| marcelbkr | i was trying to avoid spending any money | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | ok, just tossing it out there as an option | 20:30 |
| tgm4883 | i'd go the VM route | 20:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I wouldn't mess with mythbuntu just for music, but thats just me | 20:33 |
| marcelbkr | so how should I go about it if i want to run ubuntu as my main os with a guest xp vm but with mythbuntu on my second display | 20:33 |
| marcelbkr | or maybe i should just go the simplest way and just have some shortcuts to where my music/videos/emulators and such is stored shown on the second display | 20:34 |
| firekool | hello When I play avi files the video jumps and I have the codecs installed | 21:54 |
| firekool | what might I need to do to fix this? | 21:54 |
| beavis | buy a faster cpu? | 22:05 |
| tgm4883 | firekool, what system specs | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | and what kind of avi file? | 22:06 |
| firekool | it is a avi video files and how do i pull off the specs of the system | 22:07 |
| firekool | it might be divix encoded avi file though | 22:07 |
| tgm4883 | can you pastebin the outut of | 22:07 |
| tgm4883 | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 22:07 |
| firekool | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2820/ | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | do you know any other info about the avi file? | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | your specs do seem a little low | 22:09 |
| firekool | what do you mean any more info? | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | resolution? | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | framerate? | 22:09 |
| tgm4883 | my guess is that your processor isn't beefy enough to decode mpeg4 | 22:09 |
| firekool | tgm4883: ya I am testing that out right now on another system | 22:10 |
| firekool | it should be though it is a amd 2400 | 22:11 |
| tgm4883 | you sure? | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | cpu MHz : 1198.887 | 22:12 |
| tgm4883 | perhaps it's being clocked back | 22:13 |
| firekool | that is how amd's are | 22:13 |
| firekool | it is a AMD 2400 running at 1.9mhz | 22:13 |
| firekool | at least that is what I thought | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | according to what you posted, it's running at 1.2Ghz | 22:14 |
| tgm4883 | not 1.9 | 22:14 |
| firekool | sorry 1.2 | 22:14 |
| firekool | so you think that system has just got too old | 22:15 |
| tgm4883 | could be, although there are other factors to check | 22:16 |
| tgm4883 | what video card? | 22:16 |
| firekool | geforce 6200 AGP | 22:16 |
| tgm4883 | did you install the restricted driver? | 22:17 |
| firekool | yes and I just tested it on a intel centrino system and same thing happened | 22:17 |
| firekool | I think it is becouse it is a divix encoded avi | 22:17 |
| tgm4883 | try a different file | 22:18 |
| tgm4883 | sounds like that one is bad | 22:18 |
| firekool | it plays in windows fine | 22:18 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 22:19 |
| firekool | ya I just checked and it is a divix encoded avi file | 22:20 |
| firekool | and divix is not installed | 22:20 |
| Yutlin | Anyone have an idea why a smb mount I added to my fstab doesn't seem to mount at boot but will mount fine with a "sudo mount -a" ?? | 22:33 |
| firekool | Yutlin: is the mount passworded | 22:39 |
| Yutlin | firekool: yes, it is | 22:56 |
| Yutlin | I have the username and password specified in the the mount | 22:56 |
| firekool | can you mount it othereise | 22:56 |
| Yutlin | yea, when I execute "sudo mount -a", which in my undertanding just mounts everything in the fstab, it mounts fine | 22:57 |
| Yutlin | which is why I'm confused | 22:57 |
