| hypnoz | hi all, has anyone had a problem where their usb2 ports come up as usb1.1 ? | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| levander | hypnoz: I think there are usb1.1 cables that don't work with usb2, have you checked this? | 00:13 |
| pdragon | levander: it might not without the binary driver if it's an nvidia card | 00:13 |
| hypnoz | im using the cable that came with my hauppage nova-t stick | 00:14 |
| pdragon | i know mine does not. i have to boot with safe graphics mode to install it | 00:14 |
| levander | pdragon: I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's using the nv driver... | 00:14 |
| pdragon | yeah, that may not let tv out work | 00:14 |
| pdragon | doesn't for mine | 00:14 |
| levander | pdragon: awesome, so then it's not just me | 00:14 |
| pdragon | try booting with safe graphics mode | 00:14 |
| levander | pdragon: nv is the binary driver | 00:14 |
| pdragon | no, nvidia is | 00:15 |
| levander | hypnoz: what's a nova-t stick? some things that don't need hi-speed, they're still making them in low speed. low speed is still part of the 2.0 spec. | 00:15 |
| levander | pdragon: You know, I think you're right. Damn, can't believe I got that backwards. | 00:15 |
| levander | pdragon: safe graphics mode works over tv out with the nv driver though? | 00:16 |
| pdragon | yes, does for me | 00:16 |
| pdragon | works enough for me to install it. can't use much like that | 00:16 |
| hypnoz | its a dvb usb dongle thing - dmesg is saying: dvb-usb: This USB2.0 device cannot be run on a USB1.1 port. (it lacks a hardware PID filter) | 00:16 |
| levander | Yeah, I just looked on my PC that I know has hardware accelerated graphics working. nvidia is the proprietary driver. | 00:16 |
| levander | hypnoz: What motherboard you have? | 00:17 |
| levander | hypnoz: You've verified the motherboard has USB 2.0? | 00:17 |
| levander | hypnoz: And, USB 2.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible. I've heard that like 10,000 times by now that it's backwards compatible. | 00:18 |
| hypnoz | the manufacturers website says it is :) | 00:18 |
| hypnoz | its a via cn-series mini itx board | 00:18 |
| levander | pdragon: What's weird is that it actually came up once under TV out... | 00:18 |
| pdragon | it is. just runs at 1.1 speeds | 00:18 |
| levander | pdragon: But, hasn't come up successfully again. | 00:18 |
| levander | pdragon: You see that he's getting error messages saying it won't work? | 00:19 |
| levander | hypnoz: Oh, maybe that error message isn't complaining about the versions. Maybe the key thing is the PID filter? Whatever a PID filter is. | 00:20 |
| pdragon | dunno anything about that. sorry :( | 00:20 |
| levander | hypnoz: Look in "Digital Hardware-MPEG cards" on this page: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Video_capture_card | 00:21 |
| levander | It says something about your problem, I didn't understand it reading it quickly. | 00:21 |
| levander | hypnoz: To find that, I googled for "it lacks a hardware PID filter" - if you don't understand an error message, google on the error message string itself | 00:22 |
| hypnoz | hmm thanks :) | 00:23 |
| levander | pdragon: It was weird. After it booted, I got a black screen with a mouse pointer I could move around. Then, I hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and X restarted. User ubuntu logged in after I waited thirty seconds, now I've got a desktop with the two icons. One being "Install Mythbuntu". | 00:29 |
| levander | pdragon: Is that how it works for you? | 00:29 |
| pdragon | no, for me i never get a desktop to load | 00:29 |
| pdragon | just shows the loading bar then a black screen after it finishes | 00:29 |
| levander | pdragon: I'm talking about in safe graphics mode. Does the same happen for you in safe graphics mode? | 00:30 |
| pdragon | oh yeah. i didn't have to restart X, tho | 00:32 |
| pdragon | just went right to the desktop after a few seconds after the loading bar | 00:32 |
| pdragon | but yeah, that's what you should have when the live CD boots up | 00:33 |
| levander | Just weird I had to restart X. | 00:35 |
| levander | What's the directory for myth recordings? /var/lib/mythtv/recordings? I'm partitioning my system now. | 00:35 |
| pdragon | dont remember off-hand. i changed mine | 00:38 |
| hansoffate | hello all, anyone have anyidea why when im listening to MythStream after a period of time (haven't really noticed how long ~20 minutes?) the tv displays "No Signal" and there is no display or audio. However, through the tv's audio out, it is still being sent to the reciever and the music is playing in the other room. Is there anyway to make it not lose signal? | 01:32 |
| Tar1 | hansoffate, blame DPMS | 01:56 |
| hansoffate | Tar1: DPMS? | 01:57 |
| Tar1 | after a period of inactivity, it'll stop giving video information (to save power) | 01:57 |
| Tar1 | you can disable it by editing a line /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:57 |
| Tar1 | comment out 'Option "DPMS"' somewhere in the Monitor section | 01:58 |
| hansoffate | Tar1: i just checked my xorg, i dont have DPMS in there anywhere | 02:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | hey guys, iam going to be setting up my first media center (linux). Is there any way to get free tv listings? instead of paying schedules direct? | 03:04 |
| JThundley | hansoffate: xset -dpms s off s noblank s noexpose | 03:11 |
| JThundley | make that run with X and you'll be golden | 03:11 |
| nettow0822 | anyone awake? | 03:14 |
| JThundley | of course | 03:15 |
| hansoffate | Back from dinner JThundley what do you mean? put it in xorg under monitor? or just go into terminal and type that in once? | 03:15 |
| JThundley | it's a command, run it in a terminal | 03:15 |
| JThundley | it takes effect immediately | 03:16 |
| JThundley | let me see how I made it run with X | 03:16 |
| JThundley | in ~/.config/Autostart you make shortcuts to applications, .desktop files | 03:17 |
| JThundley | I made one of those that just runs a shell script in my ~/bin | 03:17 |
| JThundley | would you like me to privately spam you some details so you can just paste it right in? | 03:17 |
| hansoffate | yea, that would be great | 03:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | i guess the only way to get tv listings is through schedules direct? | 03:22 |
| hansoffate | for US, yes, that i know of | 03:22 |
| hansoffate | oh wow, lots of myth updates | 03:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | what about Canada? | 03:23 |
| nettow0822 | hey all | 03:31 |
| hansoffate | MythbuntuGuest32: someone else should be able to answer that for you, i'm pretty new here | 03:34 |
| JThundley | and frankly, as an American I'm shocked to learn that people live elsewhere in the world. | 03:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | lol | 03:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest32 | iam pretty sure not everyone has to sub to schedules direct to get tv listings | 03:37 |
| Daviey | MythbuntuGuest32: Over The Air listings? | 03:38 |
| hansoffate | JThundley: i just pmed you alot of info | 03:40 |
| hansoffate | well more like questions | 03:40 |
| JThundley | I didn't get any of it | 03:40 |
| JThundley | you probably have to register your nick | 03:40 |
| hansoffate | oh, haven't done that | 03:40 |
| JThundley | check the server tab of your irc client | 03:40 |
| JThundley | good thing you told me in this channel | 03:40 |
| nettow0822 | I need some help... | 03:41 |
| JThundley | this one time I PM'd my buddy and waited on him for hours for a reply. We had this big miscommunication | 03:41 |
| JThundley | all because I lagged out and had an underscore after my nick | 03:41 |
| hansoffate | ugh, i don't know how to use this stupid mac irc client | 03:41 |
| nettow0822 | i just loaded the newest linuxtv drivers... | 03:41 |
| hansoffate | hahaah | 03:41 |
| hansoffate | that sucks | 03:41 |
| JThundley | you don't need to do anything special with the client | 03:42 |
| JThundley | to register, just /msg nickserv register passwd | 03:42 |
| nettow0822 | i'm trying to get a dvico fusion 5 express to work | 03:42 |
| JThundley | and then /msg nickserv ident password | 03:42 |
| nettow0822 | the funny thing is.....I have a fusion pci card that does work... | 03:43 |
| nettow0822 | but I can't get both to work | 03:43 |
| jumpkic1 | superm1: did you guys move off my server? | 03:43 |
| nettow0822 | the pci will work by itself and the pcie will work by itself | 03:44 |
| nettow0822 | but not both at the same time | 03:44 |
| nettow0822 | wow it is italian night | 03:46 |
| nettow0822 | daviey...any ideas? | 03:48 |
| nettow0822 | take your time...watching carmon electa video's...aerobics | 03:49 |
| nettow0822 | any idea's yet? | 03:52 |
| nettow0822 | hey mario | 03:53 |
| nettow0822 | or tgm4883 | 03:53 |
| === tritium_ is now known as tritium | ||
| nettow0822 | daviey...you awake? | 03:56 |
| nettow0822 | tgm4883 you there? | 03:57 |
| jupdike_ | I tried to register my nickname | 04:00 |
| nettow0822 | me too but it doesn't work.....something isn't right | 04:03 |
| hansoffate | i just registered my nick, and it worked | 04:03 |
| hansoffate | ~10 minutes ago | 04:03 |
| nettow0822 | i registered mine several months ago...doesn't work now | 04:04 |
| nettow0822 | I even changed it...still doesn't work | 04:05 |
| nettow0822 | wow no one is here to talk technical? | 04:09 |
| jupdike_ | I am new to IRC how can you tell if your nickname was registered? | 04:10 |
| nettow0822 | jupdike...what your problem? | 04:10 |
| jupdike_ | I am going to try and install Ubuntu-mythtv and thought that I would go to the irc and see what everyone was talking about. | 04:12 |
| nettow0822 | ok | 04:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest87 | Hi. I am having problems with my new Mythbuntu setup. I am new to Linux, so my problems will probably have easy answers, but lots of Google searching turned up no helpful answers for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running Mythbuntu on an AMD 5600+ X2 with 2 gig of RAM, using a Hauppauge HVR-950 USB HDTV tuner, and an ATI HD 2600 pro video card using the new 8.443.1 set of drivers. The problem is thus: When I play liv | 04:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest31 | Sorry, got logged out. In addition to the above specs, I am running Gutsy Gibbon | 04:57 |
| JThundley | MythbuntuGuest31: you got clipped dude | 04:59 |
| JThundley | "The problem is thus: When I play liv" | 04:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest31 | well that sucks | 05:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest31 | ok, here goes again | 05:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest31 | When I play live tv, I get a green bar across the top of the screen and there seems to be an overlay problem of some sort, as the colors are seperated from each other and "ghosting" on the screen. | 05:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest31 | lots of bleeding across as well | 05:01 |
| nettow0822 | well go to 169.04 | 05:23 |
| hansoffate | anyone got any idea why when i try accessing mythweb, i get database access denied? | 05:26 |
| hansoffate | nm, fixed | 05:55 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 09:20 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hey Daviey! | 09:20 |
| MilhousePunkRock | I am planning to do a fresh install of Mythbuntu (right now I have installed it on top of an existing Ubuntu) as I can't get my Nova-T 500's remote to work. Any thoughts on the partitioning scheme? Should I make a large seperate /var for the recordings or just have a large /home and have recordings stored there? | 09:33 |
| MilhousePunkRock | and what about the filesystem? I remember reading that ext3 is not a good choice somewhere... | 09:43 |
| JThundley | nah it's fine | 09:58 |
| MilhousePunkRock | JThundley: Interesting, people in #mythtv-users say XFS would be the best choice | 10:00 |
| hugolp | MilhousePunkRock: XFS is best for big files as recordings, but ext3 is better for small files like system files | 10:01 |
| hugolp | ideally you would put the system (mythtv included) in a ext3 hd | 10:01 |
| hugolp | and keep the recordings on a XFS hd | 10:01 |
| hugolp | In practice I have everything in a ext3 hd and never had no problem | 10:01 |
| JThundley | yeah, it's fine | 10:02 |
| hugolp | Ive been recording 3 channels at the same time and using the computer at the same time, and had no problem | 10:02 |
| MilhousePunkRock | hugolp: It a rather old machine, the hdd and/or IDE controller is probably not too fast as well... | 10:03 |
| hugolp | MilhousePunkRock: then the filesystem will even matter less | 10:05 |
| hugolp | if the controller is the slower piece, you wont notice a little performance change in the hd | 10:05 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Am I assuming correctly that mythbuntu only has a minimal xfce compared to xubuntu? | 10:09 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Ok, what about 15 GB / 5 GB /home, both ext3, 1 GB swap and the rest for the recordings in XFS? | 10:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | If I pass grub options to the live CD, those will be written in my menu.lst when installing, right? | 10:19 |
| popey | no | 11:02 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 14:58 |
| nettow0822 | hey all | 15:13 |
| nettow0822 | Where can I post something about the newest linuxtv drivers & pcie? | 15:14 |
| nettow0822 | and mythtv | 15:27 |
| rinaldi_ | hi im trying to map the buttons for my hauppauge remote control but its only detecting the arrow buttons, the number buttons and the ok button. is this all that is supported because it would be nice to have play/ rewind/record functions. thanks | 16:09 |
| levander | Last time I installed MythTV I did something so that I could access the database remotely. Now I can't find the doc.'s for what to do? Anyone got a link? | 19:37 |
| pdragon | phpmyadmin is installed | 19:45 |
| pdragon | that what you mean? | 19:45 |
| pdragon | it's at mydomain.com/phpmyadmin | 19:50 |
| superm1 | go to mcc and turn on mysql service | 20:04 |
| superm1 | and then make sure you are using public ips for BOTH boxes in mythtv setup | 20:04 |
| superm1 | and reboot | 20:04 |
| ille | levander: I would guess, #skip-networking in mysql config | 20:38 |
| superm1 | ille, that's handled by mcc | 20:54 |
| superm1 | it goes in mythtv.cnf file | 20:54 |
| superm1 | to override the main one | 20:55 |
| ille | didnt realise that I was in mythbuntu channel... | 20:57 |
| superm1 | :) | 21:10 |
| nettow0822_ | hello all | 21:20 |
| nettow0822_ | anyone awake? | 21:20 |
| Dr_willis | Howdy | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. Is theres some bug with one of the mythtv packages? its been saying 1 update for the last week or 2. :) it never watns to actually update | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | 'ubuntu-mythtv-frontend' never watns to update | 21:23 |
| Dr_willis | the avail, and installed version #/names seem to be the same. | 21:24 |
| superm1 | Dr_willis, known ppa bug | 21:24 |
| superm1 | its nothing wrong with the package | 21:24 |
| superm1 | its the package build system's bug | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | Ok. Just though it was a little.. odd. :) | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | Nothing to worry about then. | 21:24 |
| superm1 | yeah | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | I just always have that update icon in the panel. heh. | 21:25 |
| nettow0822_ | superm1.....where can I post an issue for mythtv? | 21:26 |
| superm1 | bug, or configuration issue? | 21:26 |
| nettow0822_ | well not sure... | 21:28 |
| nettow0822_ | i downloaded the latest linuxtv drivers to use a pcie fusion hdtv rt gold express card but mythtv doesn't recognize it | 21:31 |
| nettow0822_ | but it just so happens that I have the same card in a pci version..... | 21:32 |
| nettow0822_ | I swapped the pcie for the pci and mythtv didn't care....it worked | 21:32 |
| levander | Did zap2xml stop working? | 21:33 |
| levander | Hey, have yall seen this? cttvlistings.net offers TV listings cheaper than Schedules Direct! | 21:35 |
| superm1 | post on the forums then nettow0822_ | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | levander, and how cheap is cheap? | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | i ask.. since the web site isent wanting to load. | 21:43 |
| levander | Dr_willis: $7/year. Or four days of listings at a time for free. | 21:45 |
| levander | Dr_willis: their web site is working fine here: https://cttvlistings.net/ | 21:46 |
| Dr_willis | getting a problem loading the page.. lets try again | 21:50 |
| Dr_willis | there it went | 21:50 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. so let me get this straight.. for 'free' i can get 4 days worth of listings? | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | Then in 4 days - it updates again.? or am i missreading this. | 21:52 |
| Daviey | well, i'm guessing the xmltv source only has 4 days of listings at any time | 22:04 |
| Daviey | so when you mythfilldatabase, it will gra 4 days - if you do this daily - then you get 4 days for free (i guess) | 22:05 |
| Dr_willis | that makes sence.. and will work out nicely for me. :) | 22:17 |
| Dr_willis | Now if i can figure out how to make mythtv use the cttvlistings... | 22:22 |
| levander | I just looked into cttvlistings. It looks like they just came out of beta early this month. The only client I can find to download is a Windows client. | 22:28 |
| levander | Even though they have that it works for "CT TV Listings is a service that delivers U.S. TV listing data(Excluding OTA) for use in software based electronic TV guides. Software like MythTV, GB-PVR, Mediaportal, FreeGuide, Freevo and any other Open source or Free to use software." | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | yea. been googling now also. :P | 22:29 |
| levander | MythTV is listed first, and I can't find the Linux client anywhere. | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | I noticed that mention of MythTV also. can not find any info on it at all. | 22:29 |
| levander | Well actually, they came out of beta on Sept. 20: http://ctpvr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=337 | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | Im signed up.. i can see my schedule on their web site. :) | 22:31 |
| levander | Dr_willis: Yeah, I'm signed up to. | 22:31 |
| levander | Think I should post something on their forum asking where the Linux client is? | 22:31 |
| levander | This is getting ridiculous trying to find it. | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. glad you are having problems.. i thouhg I was being stupid.... :) | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | the 2 google hits i get - just talk about it.. | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | nothing on the mythbuntu forums | 22:32 |
| levander | I'm posting. Give me a second and I'll give you a link to the post. | 22:32 |
| levander | Dr_willis: this isn't promising: http://ctpvr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=341 | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | maybe best to just pay the otehr guys eh heh heh... | 22:33 |
| levander | That post is like the fourth one down on the Technical Support forum. | 22:34 |
| levander | I'm gonna post something in another forum. | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. Well the holiday seasons is not a good time for a lot of this stuff. | 22:34 |
| levander | Dr_willis: http://ctpvr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1897#1897 | 22:40 |
| Dr_willis | lets see... | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | righ now im not even getting any listings. :) | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | Im guessing that cttv will have some sort of file ya can download.. proberly goning to need to set up mythtv to point to the right file. but Im drawing blanks on my searching also. | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | The kind of jobs that should be trivial (like this one) always seem to be the hardest. :( | 23:02 |
| Dr_willis | if cttv is piowered by zap2it.. Hmm | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | Oh wait. thers no zap2it any more mentioned in the listing grabber pulldown menu in mythtv-setup | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | well i will keep an eye on it i guess. :() | 23:05 |
