[00:13] <famicon_> Is there anyone "in charge" of mythbuntu?
[00:14] <Daviey> https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu
[00:14] <Daviey> The Mythbuntu team
[00:14] <famicon_> Can i get involved?
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <Daviey> Sure, you can get involved - but you don't need to join the team for that to happen
[00:17] <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!
[00:18] <famicon_> also, is there any possibillity of perhaps rolling out a different kernel for mythbuntu
[00:18] <Daviey> why?
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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
[00:21] <tgm4883_laptop> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule
[00:21] <famicon_> I believe it did
[00:21] <famicon_> 13th
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <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
[00:24] <famicon_> its pretty cool to see your own code inside the repos
[00:51] <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?
[00:52] <Yutlin> diskless mythbuntu that is
[00:52] <Daviey> Yutlin: i'd recommend NFS root (/)
[00:53] <Yutlin> Daviey, I'm not following
[00:53] <Daviey> PXE boot for the kernel.. then the root filesystem is mounted via VFS
[00:54] <Yutlin> Daviey, I do have the root specified as NFS in fstab
[00:54] <Daviey> hmm
[00:55] <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 :(
[00:56] <Yutlin> bummer, I'm a bit stuck
[01:01] <Daviey> Yutlin: if you find the solution can you let me know - just in case?
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <Yutlin> Any idea how I can determine what module I need to add to the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file?
[01:54] <Yutlin> muahahahaha!  PXE Boot success!
[01:55] <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
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <skwashd> what would cause mythtv to have really low dvb-t signal < 25% ... while everything is fine with kaffeine?
[02:35] <skwashd> btw i am using a winfast usb with right up to date mythbuntu
[02:49] <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
[03:41] <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
[04:15] <JThundley> fullscreen the frontend
[04:16] <JThundley> there's an option in the setup, "run the frontend in a window" or some option
[05:00] <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
[05:42] <Yutlin> I was wrong, the window mode was enabled
[06:20] <tazgodx> how does mythbuntu set up drives if i select guided use entire disk?
[06:24] <superm1> nothing different than standard ubuntu atm
[07:52] <tazgodx> ?? MCC
[07:54] <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 :)
[07:56] <tazgodx> you truely are a great man superm1
[07:56] <superm1> :)
[07:59] <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
[08:00] <tazgodx> since then i havne't been using this box, live TV was driving me NUTS
[08:01] <superm1> well so is it all better now?
[08:02] <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
[08:03] <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 :(
[08:08] <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?
[08:09] <superm1> um.  i don't believe so
[08:10] <tazgodx> yeah didn't think so either
[08:22] <tazgodx> OHHH, and it does work...just FYI for ya :)
[11:50] <firekool> hi my mythtv will not play dvd and it does have the correct items installed
[13:20] <firekool> Hi I am trying to get my soundlaster audigy SE card working I can not seam to get surround sound
[14:09] <famicon> firekool did you load the driver
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <directhex|bsp> firekool, when you say "surround not working", how exactly are you testing it? how are your speakers connected?
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <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|
[14:14] <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?
[14:15] <firekool> only left and right front I hear sound
[14:15] <directhex|bsp> so it's silent otherwise?
[14:15] <firekool> yes
[14:16] <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
[14:18] <firekool> yes i do directhex|
[14:19] <firekool> directhex| Do you think that buying a new sound card would be easyer and if so what one should I get
[14:20] <directhex|bsp> i'm looking
[14:21] <directhex|bsp> not 100% sure what to suggest, i don't see any evidence suggesting known issues with surround on that card
[14:22] <firekool> I got this card becouse the Via Chipset one was not working either
[14:37] <firekool> lol directhex| I found out what the problem was becouse my screen is cut off I could not find the mixer
[14:38] <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
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <directhex|bsp> xfce4-mixer ought to work
[14:41] <firekool> ya I need to ajust my resolution so I can see that part of the screen
[14:42] <firekool> thank you a lot
[14:50] <firekool> directhex| would I need to add a command to acculy utalize my surround sound in mplayer
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <directhex|bsp> it's a high-end amp, so £400 for that. plus cost of speakers
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <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
[15:01] <directhex|bsp> wouldn't have though so
[15:01] <directhex|bsp> try without, to start with
[15:05] <firekool> how much extra configuration did you do to use your digital audio
[15:06] <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?
[15:07] <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
[15:09] <firekool> I will try that that is in dvd configuration right
[15:10] <firekool> DVD player is set to internal
[15:12] <firekool> if I am using surround sound do I need to configure anything for audio
[15:15] <firekool> I think I am going to go check out some speakers becouse This is getting frustrating
[15:18] <firekool> I am sure i can find some cheap ones that will safice
[15:53] <Yutlin> Hey all, can anyone help me get my ATI Remote Wonder working with Mythbuntu?
[19:42] <MythbuntuGuest41> hello0
[19:42] <marcelbkr> anyone around?
[19:42] <tgm4883> !ask
[19:42] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[19:43] <marcelbkr> haha ok
[19:43] <marcelbkr> i'm trying to accomplish this..
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <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
[19:52] <marcelbkr> anyone?
[19:53] <tgm4883> wait a bit, people should come around and see your question
[19:54] <marcelbkr> ok :)
[20:05] <superm1> i wouldn't use mythbuntu in that method
[20:05] <superm1> you won't get very good performance
[20:06] <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
[20:08] <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
[20:12] <rhpot1991> have a separate master backend that always runs and then just access that through the vm might run better
[20:14] <marcelbkr> how do i do that?
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <rhpot1991> just wire up to your tv and use itunes then
[20:19] <marcelbkr> hmm
[20:20] <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
[20:21] <tgm4883> practical, whats practical
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <marcelbkr> if i could seamlessly run simply and quicken and newsleecher i would switch in the next ten minutes
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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
[20:29] <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
[20:30] <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
[20:32] <tgm4883> i'd go the VM route
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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
[21:54] <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?
[22:05] <beavis> buy a faster cpu?
[22:06] <tgm4883> firekool, what system specs
[22:06] <tgm4883> and what kind of avi file?
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <firekool> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2820/
[22:09] <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
[22:10] <firekool> tgm4883: ya I am testing that out right now on another system
[22:11] <firekool> it should be though it is a amd 2400
[22:12] <tgm4883> you sure?
[22:12] <tgm4883> cpu MHz         : 1198.887
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <firekool> so you think that system has just got too old
[22:16] <tgm4883> could be, although there are other factors to check
[22:16] <tgm4883> what video card?
[22:16] <firekool> geforce 6200 AGP
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <tgm4883> try a different file
[22:18] <tgm4883> sounds like that one is bad
[22:18] <firekool> it plays in windows fine
[22:19] <tgm4883> hmm
[22:20] <firekool> ya I just checked and it is a divix encoded avi file
[22:20] <firekool> and divix is not installed
[22:33] <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" ??
[22:39] <firekool> Yutlin: is the mount passworded
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <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
