[00:15] i'm here superm1. you still need a tester? [00:15] yes JordyNew [00:15] if you can activate gutsy-proposed and update to the new mythtv on there [00:15] and make sure it still works with your hardware [00:15] i can test as my mythtv setup is still in early stages. [00:15] recordings and such [00:15] that'd be spectacular [00:16] i need a few people to comment on this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/mythtv/+bug/158562 [00:16] so that it can be released from proposed [00:16] um, you may have to walk me though it superm1 [00:16] JordyNew, if you click on system [00:16] or applications in mythbuntu [00:16] i do have a putty session into my myth box. [00:16] ah [00:17] well if you can VNC in, i'll walk you through gui, otherwise you comfy on terminal? [00:17] yes [00:17] okay edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [00:17] and copy and paste the line that says gutsy-updates [00:17] you want to change the pasted line to gutsy-proposed [00:18] got it. [00:19] okay once you do that [00:19] apt-get update [00:19] and apt-get upgrade [00:19] you should be offered a variety of updates [00:19] notate the ones that are myth related [00:19] and then hit ctrl c [00:19] and then run apt-get install BLAH [00:20] where BLAH is the myth related ones [00:21] its downloading the updates [00:21] didn't give me an option to select certain ones. [00:22] okay well you're updating more than you need to then :) [00:23] it's ok i can always reinstall, i hadn't gotten too far, was having remote control problems. [00:24] 80 percent done right now. [00:25] i see [00:25] now it put me into the setup. [00:26] it might ask a few debconf related questions [00:26] the important part is whether or not you can still record with your tuners [00:26] and watch your recordings [00:27] ok [00:28] looks like it's done. [00:28] do i need to reboot? [00:29] nope [00:29] just restart mythbackend [00:33] ok [00:34] it looks like it's still working. [00:34] can't do more testing now, need to go for a while. [00:36] Hey all, can anyone help me out with moving to the Trunk builds as explained here: http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds [00:36] When I go to do the apt-get upgrade it lists a bunch of packages as kept back [00:38] JordyNew, okay when you get a few moments, please notate on the bug [00:38] that it still works for you [00:38] Iolaus, do an apt-get dist-upgrade [00:38] instead [00:42] thanks superm1 [00:42] I'll give it a shot [00:49] superm1: The apt-get dist-upgrade bailed out with: [00:49] Errors were encountered while processing: [00:49] /var/cache/apt/archives/libmyth-perl_0.20.99+trunk15096-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1_i386.deb [00:49] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [00:49] any idea what the deal is? [01:01] Iolaus, bad download? [01:01] Iolaus, [01:07] hmm [01:08] can I just run the command again or are things going to be boinked now? [01:08] I wonder if I should change to the UK repository as this same thing has happened twice [01:15] Is anyone here running from the mythbuntu trunk repository? [01:15] yes [01:16] * Daviey runs the UK repo [01:16] hmm.. is it easy for me to switch that? [01:16] they are just mirrors of one another [01:16] yeah, just add a uk. in your /etc/apt/sources.list [01:17] I'll give that a try. [01:17] should I be able to run the apt-get dist-upgrade again without trouble even though it crapped out once? [01:17] superm1: When does the normal one resync? [01:17] the night after a build on the ppa [01:17] when i press the sync button [01:17] ah [01:18] uk. happens every sunday morning [01:19] guys, can I simply re-run the apt-get dist-upgrade? [01:19] or would there be some problem from the last upgrade not finishing? [01:22] no reason that would be trouble [01:22] Iolaus: apt-get update first [01:24] Daviey: thanks :) [01:29] ok superm1 if you're still around, everything seems to still be working [01:30] JordyNew, great [01:30] can you please comment on the bug? [01:30] just mention that you dont have the hardware, but were testing to make sure it didn't break anything on your hardware [01:31] ok, 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. [01:33] i do have m-a installed [01:36] i'm not a member, waiting on the email to be able to comment on the bug that you wanted me to do superm1 [01:38] JordyNew, okay so as for compiling lirc [01:38] did you install lirc-modules-source? [01:40] don't know how to do that. [01:40] i do have my putty session open though [01:40] i can check if you tell me how to. [01:40] apt-get install lirc-modules-source [01:41] already newest version. [01:42] okay then you need to extract that archive in /usr/src [01:42] ok. [01:42] and modify the file inside it [01:42] once you do, it needs to be repackaged [01:42] i'm sorry for being such a newbie at this. [01:42] if you can do this with a gui, it really is a ton easier [01:42] ok what do i do at the gui? [01:44] copy the archive from /usr/src [01:44] to somewhere else [01:44] and double click it [01:44] extract it [01:44] and then modify the file and you can drag it back in [01:44] the lirc-modules-source? [01:45] the file in /usr/src/ related to lirc modules source [01:45] i dont recall the filename for it [01:45] but it should be recognizable [01:48] i've copied it but when i double click on the tgz file it asks me what i want to use to open it? [01:49] oh file-roller might not be installed [01:49] install that quickly [01:49] and you should be able to double click it [01:50] apt-get install fileroller ? [01:51] file-roller? [01:51] apt-get install file-roller [01:51] i think [01:54] ok, 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 intact [01:58] well thats the thing [01:58] if you leave file-roller open [01:58] you can just drag it back to the right place [01:58] and not need to worry about repacking in the right place [02:01] ok, i think i'm getting it. [02:01] one sec while i try this. [02:03] ok, i have the file repackaged in a tar.gz in /usr/src/ [02:03] what's my next step superm1? [02:04] JordyNew, okay now run this [02:04] sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source [02:05] and pick the mceusb2 driver [02:05] only [02:05] ok and tell it no on automatically building? [02:07] ok, i chose no, and then what? [02:08] choose no [02:08] and let it replace the file [02:08] ok [02:08] check /etc/lirc/lirc-modules-source.conf [02:08] and make sure it is listed in there [02:08] in case you accidently mischose (its a common mistake) [02:09] yep, it's mceusb2 [02:11] i'm guessing the next step is actually getting it to compile? [02:11] yup [02:11] ok [02:11] sudo m-a update,prepare [02:11] will prepare it to build [02:11] and then [02:11] sudo m-a a-i lirc [02:11] will build it [02:11] and install it [02:13] ok and then i can try irw? [02:15] not yet [02:15] once its installed, you need to go and remove the old one [02:15] its in /lib/modules/`uname -a` somewhere [02:15] so issue a find /lib/modules/`uname -a` -name lirc_mceusb2.ko [02:15] and once you find it, you need to rename that file [02:16] make sure you rename the right one (its in a ubuntu/media/lirc/lirc_mceusb2 subdirectory) [02:21] ok, i've found the lirc_mceusb2.ko file [02:21] what do i rename it to? [02:22] sudo mv lirc_mceusb2.ko lirc_mceusb2.ko.old [02:23] that will handle it [02:23] once you've done that, you should still have another file sitting in the misc directory [02:23] ok, then i copy my lirc_mceusb2.ko from the /usr/src dir? [02:23] it should already be copied over [02:23] after running m-a a-i lirc [02:23] you should have found two in /lib/modules [02:24] there was only one [02:24] check in /usr/src for a deb then [02:24] like lirc-modules-0.8.2-blah-blah-i386.deb [02:25] there's a lirc_mceusb2.ko in /usr/src/modules/lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb2 [02:25] there should be a .deb in there too though [02:25] in /usr/src [02:25] there are a couple of deb files there [02:25] any related to lirc though? [02:26] both are [02:26] what are they called? [02:27] lirc-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_0.8.2-0ubuntu8+2.6.22-14.46_amd64.deb [02:27] and all that.47_amd64.deb [02:27] ah [02:27] which kernel are you booted to? [02:28] sorry, how do i tell? [02:28] uname -a [02:28] and have you rebooted since you updated it? [02:28] i rebooted after the update that you had me do regarding the bug. [02:28] okay so you should be in the new one then [02:28] okay then install the newer .deb [02:29] and it should copy the .ko for you [02:29] i'm running 6.22-14 [02:29] ok, how do i install it, sorry [02:34] i think i just double click on it in the gui, right? [02:36] it 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. [02:39] looks like it's putting the new .ko file into generic instead of lirc_mceusb2 [02:40] i mean misc [02:42] whoops sorry [02:42] stepped otu [02:42] it copies it to the misc directory [02:42] yes [02:42] in /lib/modules/`uname -a` [02:42] yes [02:42] that's fine [02:42] and also a lirc_dev.ko file there too [02:42] so what you do is run [02:42] sudo depmod -a [02:42] and then it will update the module list [02:42] you can then run [02:42] sudo rmmod lirc_dev [02:43] sudo rmmod lirc_mceusb2 [02:43] to unload the old ones [02:43] and then sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [02:43] and then [02:43] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [02:43] to restart lirc [02:43] Hey guys, I just started from scratch installing Mythbuntu 7.10 from the LiveCD and then changing to trunk. [02:43] I got the same error this time around. [02:43] Iolaus, something might be wrong with the trunk packages [02:43] i'll poke our guy who normally does the trunk stuff [02:44] any more information about it? [02:44] about the error? [02:44] I'm getting this error from the apt-get [02:44] Errors were encountered while processing: [02:44] /var/cache/apt/archives/libmyth-perl_0.20.99+trunk15096-0ubuntu0~mythbuntu1_i386.deb [02:44] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:44] Is there any other place I can dig deeper? [02:44] well you can try not installing that perl package [02:44] just install the others [02:44] and see if it lets you [02:45] i'm not sure how to (easily) look closer at the log though [02:45] /var/lib/dpkg.log [02:45] might tell you more [02:45] i'm not sure [02:45] how do I do that? The perl package installs as part of the apt-get dist-upgrade [02:46] doesn't look like dpkg.log has anything relavent [02:46] i get an error when i try to run rmmod lirc_dev [02:46] ERROR: Module lirc_dev is in use by lirc_mceusb2 [02:48] JordyNew, rmmod the lirc_mceusb2 first [02:48] then the lirc_dev then [02:50] ok superm1, it let me restart lircd [02:51] okay so with any luck $things should work now [02:51] do i start irw now? [02:51] you can [02:51] gets right back to a prompt. [02:51] guess it doesn't work [02:51] well check dmesg [02:51] and see if it loaded okay [02:52] and then check that lircd is still running [02:54] don't see anything in dmesg, and lircd is still running. [02:55] do i need to reboot? [02:56] going to try reboot now [02:59] okay [03:01] ok, rebooted, remote is not working. [03:01] how do i tell if it has the lirc_mceusb2.c changes that i made? [03:08] should i see lirc messages in my dmesg? [03:13] there is no /dev/lirc0 created. could this be part of the problem? [03:15] i do have a /dev/lircd however [03:18] JordyNew, you sure you modified the lirc_mceusb2 properly [03:18] ? [03:19] i can send it to you but i'm pretty sure i did [03:19] well the only possible issues here can be mismodified [03:19] or modified for the wrong kernel [03:20] so you can double check to make sure you put it in /lib/modules/`uname -a` once more [03:20] otherwise your modifications appear to have not worked [03:20] in the misc directory? [03:21] yeah [03:21] that's the right place [03:21] i have 2 .ko files in the misc directory [03:21] yeah that's it [03:21] from about 30 minutes ago. [03:21] yeah [03:22] so double check your modifications then [03:22] was it just adding a vendor/product id? [03:22] i suspect? [03:22] yes, added a vendor line and another case [03:22] sure the vendor was right? [03:22] double checked it? [03:22] checked commas, spacing etc [03:22] i'll check it again. [03:29] looks fine [03:31] JordyNew, well not sure what to tell you then :( [03:32] i see there is a mceusb2.c file i can download from the forum that is supposed to make this remote work. [03:32] it's the pinnacle mce usb remote [03:33] that's the thread i'm reading all this stuff in. [03:33] i'm trying to get my password as i forgot it so I can download the file. [03:38] if this doesn't work, it might be easier to just get one of the remotes supported natively in ubuntu [03:41] well 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 point [04:00] i sure hope this work..... === Solar_ is now known as Solarbaby [04:24] kind of dead in here [04:33] hey guys [04:34] anyone use netflix plugin? [04:36] is there a graphical text editor in mythbuntu? [04:44] install one [04:44] gedit [04:44] geany [04:44] mousepad [04:44] leafpad [04:46] nano, pico, fte (my fave) [04:47] * Dr_willis missed the question. :) [04:48] im just useing nano for now [04:48] trying to set up my STB [04:48] firewire [04:49] so superm1 i got this new STB from my cable company, there are 2 firewire ports on the back, and they both seem to work. does that mean i can connect 2 different cables and watch 2 different channels when its all done? [04:52] not usually [04:52] but you can try [04:56] its a new box, i thought i was gonna get the 6200 but i didn't [04:56] it has HDMI on it, its weird [04:57] shit im late, ill be back to finish testing this :) [07:45] If I have a wintv pvr-150 can I record one channel and watch another at the same time? [07:56] warriorforgod: no [07:56] toorima: Ok. Next question. What would you recommend for a digital/analog tuner card? [07:56] pvr-500 can do that [07:57] for hdtv i have the pchdtv5000 [07:57] hdhomerun is good if u want 2 hd channels [07:57] toorima: where did you get it? [07:57] I can't find those on newegg. [07:57] from there website [07:58] dont think hdhomerun will do sd tho but not sure [08:14] * laga waves [08:15] Iolaus: 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 myself [08:49] laga, i'm pretty sure what i brought to you was a full error [08:49] as in all he was seeing [08:54] superm1: 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] like "oh my god that's f'ed up" [08:54] ;) [08:57] damnit, my firewire isn't working! i hate life [08:59] nice tutorial tho, hands down one of the best ive read :) [09:00] i have one more trick up my sleeves for tomorrow, and then i give up for a day [09:00] g'night [13:23] hello everyone [13:39] hey all [13:39] would it be better to use the opengl option over qt for the paint engine? [13:45] anyone used the netflix addon [13:45] ? [13:45] i always remove that entry from my menus, :) [13:48] i was having trouble setting up [16:11] anyone awake? [16:15] I'm trying to setup mythflix....do I need to do this on the master backend? [16:15] might try the forums if no one is answering here [16:16] Hi, Just installed mythbunu, but on reboot it freezes at "LIRC is not configured" "Running local boot scripts! [16:16] Any suggestions how to get past this point? Thanks [16:40] how can I find out what is my root password for mysql? [16:54] have you tried http://keystoneit.wordpress.com/2006/10/28/resetting-mysql-root-password-in-ubuntu-dapper/ [16:58] theres either no root password [16:59] or it's stored in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [16:59] probably the latter [17:07] i get this message after entering password... [17:07] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' [17:07] i'm trying to do this on a slave backend / frontend [17:16] 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? [17:17] The issue is when i try to change channels from another frontend with capture cards on the masterbackend [17:17] avan3944 [17:17] oops [17:17] disregard that [17:23] hi, we currently have digital tv here instead of good ol' analog, can mythbuntu handle that in some way? [17:24] arnath01, with a tuner, yes [17:24] where do you live [17:24] belgium [17:24] hmm, not sure i know anyone from belgium [17:24] tgm4883: what do you mean "with a tuner"? (i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this particular subject :P) [17:25] well, you have to get the signal into your pc somehow [17:25] yes that was my problem :) [17:25] how do you receive the signal? [17:25] ie, satellite, cable, OTA, etc [17:25] i'm not entirely sure, but most of it is through coax i believe [17:25] although there is an ethernet component as well [17:26] you probably want a dvb-c card, but i'm not sure what you guys use in belgium [17:26] interesting [17:26] ah its laga [17:26] hm, mkight be IPTv then o_O [17:26] the exact guy i was going to ping [17:26] s/mkight/might/ [17:26] tgm4883: heh :) [17:26] well, arnath01: you should find out how you're getting the signal :) [17:26] laga, you're my official contact for europe [17:27] laga: heh, that nasty little task will have to wait i'm afraid, damned exams coming up :P [17:27] i'd love to talk to chat more with you guys, but i need have this midterm tomorrow :) [17:27] but thanks for the feedback, now at least i know where to start hehe [17:27] arnath01: hehe :) [17:27] s/need have/have/ [17:28] tgm4883: 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? [17:29] (i am currently running mythbuntu virtualized) [17:31] arnath01, probably NFS. Just setup an NFS share, mount in on the mythbuntu machine, and use mythvideo to watch the videos [17:31] do you know how to setup NFS? [17:31] tgm4883: ye :) [17:31] k [17:31] i'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] though 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 :s [17:32] hmm [17:32] i haven't found a pattern in it yet, it just seems to be random luck [17:32] strange [17:32] but it's massively annoying as nfs (afaik) depends on static environments [17:33] well, just NFS a directory, and force the usb drive to always mount in a subdir of that directory [17:33] does it? so let's say you share a directory.. [17:33] yeah, what he said. [17:33] :)\ [17:33] to the share, it will just look like you are adding something to the dir [17:33] hmm, i tried automounting it, but this had some other problems, but it's been a while, i forgot what they were [17:33] and should work fine [17:34] i shall have to delve into my nfs structure again i guess :D [17:38] can anyone recommend a USB HD tuner? [17:47] ok got mythflix working.....i had to be on the masterbackend [18:53] Hello everyone! [18:53] What's wrong when scanning for channels tells me "could not address card" and on the next page I get "Programmer error, see console"? [19:07] you need to look at the console [19:07]
