JordyNewi'm here superm1.  you still need a tester?00:15
superm1yes JordyNew00:15
superm1if you can activate gutsy-proposed and update to the new mythtv on there00:15
superm1and make sure it still works with your hardware00:15
JordyNewi can test as my mythtv setup is still in early stages.00:15
superm1recordings and such00:15
superm1that'd be spectacular00:15
superm1i need a few people to comment on this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/mythtv/+bug/15856200:16
superm1so that it can be released from proposed00:16
JordyNewum, you may have to walk me though it superm100:16
superm1JordyNew, if you click on system00:16
superm1or applications in mythbuntu00:16
JordyNewi do have a putty session into my myth box.00:16
superm1ah00:16
superm1well if you can VNC in, i'll walk you through gui, otherwise you comfy on terminal?00:17
JordyNewyes00:17
superm1okay edit your /etc/apt/sources.list00:17
superm1and copy and paste the line that says gutsy-updates00:17
superm1you want to change the pasted line to gutsy-proposed00:17
JordyNewgot it.00:18
superm1okay once you do that00:19
superm1apt-get update00:19
superm1and apt-get upgrade00:19
superm1you should be offered a variety of updates00:19
superm1notate the ones that are myth related00:19
superm1and then hit ctrl c00:19
superm1and then run apt-get install BLAH00:19
superm1where BLAH is the myth related ones00:20
JordyNewits downloading the updates00:21
JordyNewdidn't give me an option to select certain ones.00:21
superm1okay well you're updating more than you need to then :)00:22
JordyNewit's ok i can always reinstall, i hadn't gotten too far, was having remote control problems.00:23
JordyNew80 percent done right now.00:24
superm1i see00:25
JordyNewnow it put me into the setup.00:25
superm1it might ask a few debconf related questions00:26
superm1the important part is whether or not you can still record with your tuners00:26
superm1and watch your recordings00:26
JordyNewok00:27
JordyNewlooks like it's done.00:28
JordyNewdo i need to reboot?00:28
superm1nope00:29
superm1just restart mythbackend00:29
JordyNewok00:33
JordyNewit looks like it's still working.00:34
JordyNewcan't do more testing now, need to go for a while.00:34
IolausHey all, can anyone help me out with moving to the Trunk builds as explained here: http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds00:36
IolausWhen I go to do the apt-get upgrade it lists a bunch of packages as kept back00:36
superm1JordyNew, okay when you get a few moments, please notate on the bug00:38
superm1that it still works for you00:38
superm1Iolaus, do an apt-get dist-upgrade00:38
superm1instead00:38
Iolausthanks superm100:42
IolausI'll give it a shot00:42
Iolaussuperm1: The apt-get dist-upgrade bailed out with:00:49
IolausErrors were encountered while processing:00:49
Iolaus /var/cache/apt/archives/libmyth-perl_0.20.99+trunk15096-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1_i386.deb00:49
IolausE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)00:49
Iolausany idea what the deal is?00:49
superm1Iolaus, bad download?01:01
superm1Iolaus,01:01
Iolaushmm01:07
Iolauscan I just run the command again or are things going to be boinked now?01:08
IolausI wonder if I should change to the UK repository as this same thing has happened twice01:08
IolausIs anyone here running from the mythbuntu trunk repository?01:15
Davieyyes01:15
* Daviey runs the UK repo 01:16
Iolaushmm.. is it easy for me to switch that?01:16
superm1they are just mirrors of one another01:16
Davieyyeah, just add a uk. in your /etc/apt/sources.list01:16
IolausI'll give that a try.01:17
Iolausshould I be able to run the apt-get dist-upgrade again without trouble even though it crapped out once?01:17
Davieysuperm1: When does the normal one resync?01:17
superm1the night after a build on the ppa01:17
superm1when i press the sync button01:17
Davieyah01:17
Davieyuk. happens every sunday morning01:18
Iolausguys, can I simply re-run the apt-get dist-upgrade?01:19
Iolausor would there be some problem from the last upgrade not finishing?01:19
superm1no reason that would be trouble01:22
DavieyIolaus: apt-get update first01:22
IolausDaviey: thanks :)01:24
JordyNewok superm1 if you're still around, everything seems to still be working01:29
superm1JordyNew, great01:30
superm1can you please comment on the bug?01:30
superm1just mention that you dont have the hardware, but were testing to make sure it didn't break anything on your hardware01:30
JordyNewok, and will you have a chance to help me with compiling lirc for my remote?  I know what I need to edit in the lirc_mceusb2.c file but every time i follow the guides that file gets rebuilt without my changes.01:31
JordyNewi do have m-a installed01:33
JordyNewi'm not a member, waiting on the email to be able to comment on the bug that you wanted me to do superm101:36
superm1JordyNew, okay so as for compiling lirc01:38
superm1did you install lirc-modules-source?01:38
JordyNewdon't know how to do that.01:40
JordyNewi do have my putty session open though01:40
JordyNewi can check if you tell me how to.01:40
superm1apt-get install lirc-modules-source01:40
JordyNewalready newest version.01:41
superm1okay then you need to extract that archive in /usr/src01:42
JordyNewok.01:42
superm1and modify the file inside it01:42
superm1once you do, it needs to be repackaged01:42
JordyNewi'm sorry for being such a newbie at this.01:42
superm1if you can do this with a gui, it really is a ton easier01:42
JordyNewok what do i do at the gui?01:42
superm1copy the archive from /usr/src01:44
superm1to somewhere else01:44
superm1and double click it01:44
superm1extract it01:44
superm1and then modify the file and you can drag it back in01:44
JordyNewthe lirc-modules-source?01:44
superm1the file in /usr/src/ related to lirc modules source01:45
superm1i dont recall the filename for it01:45
superm1but it should be recognizable01:45
JordyNewi've copied it but when i double click on the tgz file it asks me what i want to use to open it?01:48
superm1oh file-roller might not be installed01:49
superm1install that quickly01:49
superm1and you should be able to double click it01:49
JordyNewapt-get install fileroller   ?01:50
JordyNewfile-roller?01:51
superm1apt-get install file-roller01:51
superm1i think01:51
JordyNewok, i have the file edited in the directory under /tmp/modules/ ...  but i don't know how to repackage it into a tgz with all the directory structure intact01:54
superm1well thats the thing01:58
superm1if you leave file-roller open01:58
superm1you can just drag it back to the right place01:58
superm1and not need to worry about repacking in the right place01:58
JordyNewok, i think i'm getting it.02:01
JordyNewone sec while i try this.02:01
JordyNewok, i have the file repackaged in a tar.gz in /usr/src/02:03
JordyNewwhat's my next step superm1?02:03
superm1JordyNew, okay now run this02:04
superm1sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source02:04
superm1and pick the mceusb2 driver02:05
superm1only02:05
JordyNewok and tell it no on automatically building?02:05
JordyNewok, i chose no, and then what?02:07
superm1choose no02:08
superm1and let it replace the file02:08
JordyNewok02:08
superm1check /etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf02:08
superm1and make sure it is listed in there02:08
superm1in case you accidently mischose (its a common mistake)02:08
JordyNewyep, it's mceusb202:09
JordyNewi'm guessing the next step is actually getting it to compile?02:11
superm1yup02:11
JordyNewok02:11
superm1sudo m-a update,prepare02:11
superm1will prepare it to build02:11
superm1and then02:11
superm1sudo m-a a-i lirc02:11
superm1will build it02:11
superm1and install it02:11
JordyNewok and then i can try irw?02:13
superm1not yet02:15
superm1once its installed, you need to go and remove the old one02:15
superm1its in /lib/modules/`uname -a` somewhere02:15
superm1so issue a find /lib/modules/`uname -a` -name lirc_mceusb2.ko02:15
superm1and once you find it, you need to rename that file02:15
superm1make sure you rename the right one (its in a ubuntu/media/lirc/lirc_mceusb2 subdirectory)02:16
JordyNewok, i've found the lirc_mceusb2.ko file02:21
JordyNewwhat do i rename it to?02:21
superm1sudo mv lirc_mceusb2.ko lirc_mceusb2.ko.old02:22
superm1that will handle it02:23
superm1once you've done that, you should still have another file sitting in the misc directory02:23
JordyNewok, then i copy my lirc_mceusb2.ko from the /usr/src dir?02:23
superm1it should already be copied over02:23
superm1after running m-a a-i lirc02:23
superm1you should have found two in /lib/modules02:23
JordyNewthere was only one02:24
superm1check in /usr/src for a deb then02:24
superm1like lirc-modules-0.8.2-blah-blah-i386.deb02:24
JordyNewthere's a lirc_mceusb2.ko in /usr/src/modules/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb202:25
superm1there should be a .deb in there too though02:25
superm1in /usr/src02:25
JordyNewthere are a couple of deb files there02:25
superm1any related to lirc though?02:25
JordyNewboth are02:26
superm1what are they called?02:26
JordyNewlirc-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_0.8.2-0ubuntu8+2.6.22-14.46_amd64.deb02:27
JordyNewand all that.47_amd64.deb02:27
superm1ah02:27
superm1which kernel are you booted to?02:27
JordyNewsorry, how do i tell?02:28
superm1uname -a02:28
superm1and have you rebooted since you updated it?02:28
JordyNewi rebooted after the update that you had me do regarding the bug.02:28
superm1okay so you should be in the new one then02:28
superm1okay then install the newer .deb02:28
superm1and it should copy the .ko for you02:29
JordyNewi'm running 6.22-1402:29
JordyNewok, how do i install it, sorry02:29
JordyNewi think i just double click on it in the gui, right?02:34
JordyNewit said it was rebuilding the lirc module but it didn't copy another .ko file into that ubuntu/media directory, still just the .ko.old file there.02:36
JordyNewlooks like it's putting the new .ko file into generic instead of lirc_mceusb202:39
JordyNewi mean misc02:40
superm1whoops sorry02:42
superm1stepped otu02:42
superm1it copies it to the misc directory02:42
JordyNewyes02:42
superm1in /lib/modules/`uname -a`02:42
JordyNewyes02:42
superm1that's fine02:42
JordyNewand also a lirc_dev.ko file there too02:42
superm1so what you do is run02:42
superm1sudo depmod -a02:42
superm1and then it will update the module list02:42
superm1you can then run02:42
superm1sudo rmmod lirc_dev02:42
superm1sudo rmmod lirc_mceusb202:43
superm1to unload the old ones02:43
superm1and then sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb202:43
superm1and then02:43
superm1sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart02:43
superm1to restart lirc02:43
IolausHey guys, I just started from scratch installing Mythbuntu 7.10 from the LiveCD and then changing to trunk.02:43
IolausI got the same error this time around.02:43
superm1Iolaus, something might be wrong with the trunk packages02:43
superm1i'll poke our guy who normally does the trunk stuff02:43
superm1any more information about it?02:44
superm1about the error?02:44
IolausI'm getting this error from the apt-get02:44
IolausErrors were encountered while processing:02:44
Iolaus /var/cache/apt/archives/libmyth-perl_0.20.99+trunk15096-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1_i386.deb02:44
IolausE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)02:44
IolausIs there any other place I can dig deeper?02:44
superm1well you can try not installing that perl package02:44
superm1just install the others02:44
superm1and see if it lets you02:44
superm1i'm not sure how to (easily) look closer at the log though02:45
superm1/var/lib/dpkg.log02:45
superm1might tell you more02:45
superm1i'm not sure02:45
Iolaushow do I do that?  The perl package installs as part of the apt-get dist-upgrade02:45
Iolausdoesn't look like dpkg.log has anything relavent02:46
JordyNewi get an error when i try to run rmmod lirc_dev02:46
JordyNewERROR: Module lirc_dev is in use by lirc_mceusb202:46
superm1JordyNew, rmmod the lirc_mceusb2 first02:48
superm1then the lirc_dev then02:48
JordyNewok superm1, it let me restart lircd02:50
superm1okay so with any luck $things should work now02:51
JordyNewdo i start irw now?02:51
superm1you can02:51
JordyNewgets right back to a prompt.02:51
JordyNewguess it doesn't work02:51
superm1well check dmesg02:51
superm1and see if it loaded okay02:51
superm1and then check that lircd is still running02:52
JordyNewdon't see anything in dmesg, and lircd is still running.02:54
JordyNewdo i need to reboot?02:55
JordyNewgoing to try reboot now02:56
superm1okay02:59
JordyNewok, rebooted, remote is not working.03:01
JordyNewhow do i tell if it has the lirc_mceusb2.c changes that i made?03:01
JordyNewshould i see lirc messages in my dmesg?03:08
JordyNewthere is no /dev/lirc0 created.  could this be part of the problem?03:13
JordyNewi do have a /dev/lircd however03:15
superm1JordyNew, you sure you modified the lirc_mceusb2 properly03:18
superm1?03:18
JordyNewi can send it to you but i'm pretty sure i did03:19
superm1well the only possible issues here can be mismodified03:19
superm1or modified for the wrong kernel03:19
superm1so you can double check to make sure you put it in /lib/modules/`uname -a` once more03:20
superm1otherwise your modifications appear to have not worked03:20
JordyNewin the misc directory?03:20
superm1yeah03:21
superm1that's the right place03:21
JordyNewi have 2 .ko files in the misc directory03:21
superm1yeah that's it03:21
JordyNewfrom about 30 minutes ago.03:21
superm1yeah03:21
superm1so double check your modifications then03:22
superm1was it just adding a vendor/product id?03:22
superm1i suspect?03:22
JordyNewyes, added a vendor line and another case03:22
superm1sure the vendor was right?03:22
superm1double checked it?03:22
superm1checked commas, spacing etc03:22
JordyNewi'll check it again.03:22
JordyNewlooks fine03:29
superm1JordyNew, well not sure what to tell you then :(03:31
JordyNewi see there is a mceusb2.c file i can download from the forum that is supposed to make this remote work.03:32
JordyNewit's the pinnacle mce usb remote03:32
JordyNewthat's the thread i'm reading all this stuff in.03:33
JordyNewi'm trying to get my password as i forgot it so I can download the file.03:33
JordyNewif this doesn't work, it might be easier to just get one of the remotes supported natively in ubuntu03:38
superm1well if someone files a bug on this, i can add it for hardy (using the diff in that post), but if it doesnt work for you then its a moot point03:41

* laga waves08:14
lagaIolaus: i've heard you're having issue with the trunk packages. it'd be very helpful if you can give me the _full_ error message, preferably in a pastebin. if you can't do that i'll have to try and reproduce it myself08:15
superm1laga, i'm pretty sure what i brought to you was a full error08:49
superm1as in all he was seeing08:49
lagasuperm1: i kinda doubt that because it's totally useless. but maybe there was an error for which dpkg didn't know what to say.08:54

alexvd_Hi I have a directv external tuner box connected via cable and using the channel change script. I have enabled the script and permissions.  It worked at first however now it doesnt seem to be working.  I can still run the script at command prompt with no issues and I get no errors in the logs.  How do I troubleshoot this?17:16
alexvd_The issue is when i try to change channels from another frontend with capture cards on the masterbackend17:17
alexvd_avan394417:17
alexvd_oops17:17
alexvd_disregard that17:17
arnath01hi, we currently have digital tv here instead of good ol' analog, can mythbuntu handle that in some way?17:23
tgm4883arnath01, with a tuner, yes17:24
tgm4883where do you live17:24
arnath01belgium17:24
tgm4883hmm, not sure i know anyone from belgium17:24
arnath01tgm4883: what do you mean "with a tuner"? (i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this particular subject :P)17:24
tgm4883well, you have to get the signal into your pc somehow17:25
arnath01yes that was my problem :)17:25
tgm4883how do you receive the signal?17:25
tgm4883ie, satellite, cable, OTA, etc17:25
arnath01i'm not entirely sure, but most of it is through coax i believe17:25
arnath01although there is an ethernet component as well17:25
lagayou probably want a dvb-c card, but i'm not sure what you guys use in belgium17:26
tgm4883interesting17:26
tgm4883ah its laga17:26
lagahm, mkight be IPTv then o_O17:26
tgm4883the exact guy i was going to ping17:26
lagas/mkight/might/17:26
lagatgm4883: heh :)17:26
lagawell, arnath01: you should find out how you're getting the signal :)17:26
tgm4883laga, you're my official contact for europe17:26
arnath01laga: heh, that nasty little task will have to wait i'm afraid, damned exams coming up :P17:27
lagai'd love to talk to chat more with you guys, but i need have this midterm tomorrow :)17:27
arnath01but thanks for the feedback, now at least i know where to start hehe17:27
lagaarnath01: hehe :)17:27
lagas/need have/have/17:27
arnath01tgm4883: on another note -> i have most of my media (i tend to rip dvds/cds i have, because i dislike inserting dvds/cds all the time) on an external usb drive, what's the easiest way to share those files over my network to view on my tv?17:28
arnath01(i am currently running mythbuntu virtualized)17:29
tgm4883arnath01, probably NFS.  Just setup an NFS share, mount in on the mythbuntu machine, and use mythvideo to watch the videos17:31
tgm4883do you know how to setup NFS?17:31
arnath01tgm4883: ye :)17:31
tgm4883k17:31
tgm4883i'll have to go for awhile, but will be back later.  People will also check in so if you have a question, post it.17:31
arnath01though i'm having problems with my usb on NFS, as ubuntu only has a 50% chance of automatically mounting the usb when i start it up :s17:31
tgm4883hmm17:32
arnath01i haven't found a pattern in it yet, it just seems to be random luck17:32
tgm4883strange17:32
arnath01but it's massively annoying as nfs (afaik) depends on static environments17:32
tgm4883well, just NFS a directory, and force the usb drive to always mount in a subdir of that directory17:33
lagadoes it? so let's say you share a directory..17:33
lagayeah, what he said.17:33
tgm4883:)\17:33
tgm4883to the share, it will just look like you are adding something to the dir17:33
arnath01hmm, i tried automounting it, but this had some other problems, but it's been a while, i forgot what they were17:33
tgm4883and should work fine17:33
arnath01i shall have to delve into my nfs structure again i guess :D17:34
