[07:25] <MilhousePunkRock> Hello everyone!
[07:27] <MilhousePunkRock> I wonder if building v4l-dvb from mercurial will help me get my Nova T-500's remote to live... Any T-500 users present who got the remote working?
[09:04] <MythbuntuGuest04> Would anyone here be able to help me with my iMon LCD problem? (Antec fusion R2)
[09:26] <MythbuntuGuest04> Anyone?
[11:45] <filleokus> hello
[12:51] <rinaldi_> ok, i installed mythbuntu the other day and everythings going well. Its just i have a hauppauge ir remote control for my dvb card. I set it up but when i go to map the buttons it ony detects the up/down/left/right/ ok/ number buttons. i was wandering if there was any way to enable use of the fastforward/rewind or channel up/down buttons?
[15:50] <WackoRobie> How goes
[15:50] <WackoRobie> anyone have ePSXe running in mythgame?
[15:55] <Dr_willis> Not me.
[15:55] <Dr_willis> actually I think my MythGame stuff is totally empty.
[18:46] <alexvd_> Hi running into an issue with my serial ports and the change channel script.  After several crashes the port begins to timeout when the script is called.  It also happens if i manually call it from the command line.  The script is enabled and the ports are not busy.  It works fine for a while then starts timing out.  If I touch the port or use for instance dtvcontrol from another laptop it works fine.  Then it will work
[18:46] <alexvd_> s one time in myth and then lockup.  Anyone have any clues before I reinstall?
[18:49] <savageone1> howdie folks
[18:49] <savageone1> mythtv to linuxmce convert, now converting back to mythtv via mythbuntu
[18:49] <alexvd_> hey savageone1
[18:50] <savageone1> my question:  I'm reading about the upgrade process...  Is it as easy as it looks?  My beef has always been updating to a new version has been ridiculous w/ knoppmyth and the like
[18:50] <alexvd_> savageone1: thats why i moved to ubuntumyth too
[18:50] <savageone1> also, it looks as though I could install a full gnome environment, but will that effect my upgrades...  It says on the site "The upgrade procedure will only upgrade Mythbuntu packages if you don't have a gnome or kde desktop installed."
[18:50] <savageone1> alex:  I mean, linuxmce is amazing, but it's just not there yet
[18:51] <alexvd_> savageone its very easy to install mythbuntu
[18:51] <savageone1> and the community is ridiculous, bunch of people arguing in the channel etc.  hard to get help, hard to pitch ideas
[18:51] <savageone1> alex:  I've installed it before, but just to check it out never used it a lot
[18:51] <alexvd_> and the upgrade is just like if you upgrade ubuntu just enable the repos
[18:51] <savageone1> I'm not so worry about ease, I am savvy, it's just I don't want a to be fucking w/ it all the time know what I mean?
[18:51] <alexvd_> yeah well sorry but myth is myth
[18:52] <alexvd_> no matter what distribution
[18:52] <savageone1> true true
[18:52] <alexvd_> good thing about mythbuntu is its based on debian which is the same for knoppmyth and linuxmce
[18:52] <savageone1> if I were to do the mythtv updates via apt-get, does that break the system
[18:52] <alexvd_> so that made the commands and logs
[18:52] <alexvd_> no
[18:52] <savageone1> since it appears there's some additional stuff mythbuntu did to make things easy
[18:52] <alexvd_> knoppmyth it would
[18:52] <alexvd_> yes
[18:52] <savageone1> yup, knoppmyth is a pig ;)
[18:52] <savageone1> i used it for a year
[18:53] <savageone1> it's easy as pie, but it's friggin knoppix so what do you want haha
[18:53] <alexvd_> So here is the skinny.  Mythbuntu still has some warts
[18:53] <alexvd_> knoppmyth probably a little more mature
[18:53] <savageone1> tell me about them
[18:53] <savageone1> I'm not above beta testing hehe
[18:53] <savageone1> does mythbuntu have the newest mythtv running
[18:53] <savageone1> what I'm looking for is ubuntu and mythtv, I'm a ubuntu man
[18:54] <alexvd_> ok so if you run pchdtv cards they have a bug that when you do the install you cant do channel scan until next reboot.  its like the backend is not started
[18:54] <savageone1> so if this is just that minus the full process of instlaling ubuntu and then mythtv, I'm game
[18:54] <alexvd_> yep
[18:54] <savageone1> that's not so bad
[18:54] <savageone1> what else
[18:54] <savageone1> gimme the worst ;)
[18:54] <alexvd_> no static ip at first
[18:54] <alexvd_> need reboot
[18:54] <savageone1> can it act as my router too easily?
[18:54] <savageone1> that I didn't mind aboutlinuxmce
[18:54] <savageone1> makes pxe stuff easier
[18:55] <alexvd_> hmm that I dont do.  I run cisco routers standalone
[18:55] <savageone1> coool
[18:55] <alexvd_> little worried about the fact the box goes down i lose my network
[18:55] <savageone1> I generally use an ipcop box
[18:55] <savageone1> every time?
[18:55] <savageone1> sure it's not an adapter issue?
[18:55] <alexvd_> cool just have to many issues with myth and i end up reinstalling
[18:56] <alexvd_> no I have strange issue with serial ports and the external change scripts
[18:56] <alexvd_> it seems to get borked after a while and I cant figure out how to fix
[18:56] <alexvd_> it just starts to timeout
[18:57] <savageone1> wow it looks like I can just do a brandy new ubuntu install and then do mythbuntu through the package manager
[18:57] <savageone1> mythtv still has voip support right?
[18:57] <alexvd_> yes
[18:57] <alexvd_> although i just use it to register to asterisk
[18:57] <alexvd_> probably want to just do ubuntu then load the packages
[18:57] <savageone1> I'll be doing a broadvoice account from home
[18:58] <savageone1> I have asterisk in my business though ;)
[18:58] <savageone1> trixbox and elastix are my friends hehe
[18:58] <alexvd_> mythbuntu works better if you want to just pop the disc in and do install
[18:58] <savageone1> I'll do the ubuntu first way definitely
[18:58] <alexvd_> it has some good stuff in it for the remote
[18:58] <savageone1> I might do that then
[18:58] <alexvd_> u dont need to do with mythbuntu
[18:58] <alexvd_> just load the disc
[18:58] <savageone1> I've always had issues w/ my remote
[18:58] <alexvd_> installs the whole shebang
[18:58] <savageone1> either way I end up w/ essentially the same product right
[18:59] <alexvd_> except for some of the newest themes like blootube
[18:59] <alexvd_> yes
[18:59] <savageone1> my thing is, I want to have full access to my gnome
[18:59] <alexvd_> you can install mythbuntu and then install the desktop
[18:59] <savageone1> you ever make your own themes?
[18:59] <alexvd_> I wish.  I can barely keep my boxes stable.  Too much mucking around
[18:59] <savageone1> what's that gnome version they got w/ all the crazy screen changing effects?
[18:59] <savageone1> I wanted to check that out
[18:59] <alexvd_> latest ubuntu works out of box with compiz
[18:59] <alexvd_> just enable desktop effects
[19:00] <savageone1> is compiz installed?
[19:00] <alexvd_> and install the control manager
[19:00] <alexvd_> yes
[19:00] <alexvd_> yes compiz installed
[19:00] <savageone1> if I do the mythbuntu method it is?
[19:00] <alexvd_> just enable desktop effects
[19:00] <savageone1> nice
[19:00] <alexvd_> hmmm I dont know about mythbuntu
[19:00] <savageone1> but I'm sure I can get it w/ the package manager
[19:00] <alexvd_> yes
[19:00] <alexvd_> mythbuntu is basically 7.10 gutsy
[19:00] <savageone1> so far it seems if I don't want to have to do my remote manually, I should do the mythbuntu instead of manual install
[19:01] <alexvd_> so its probably thier
[19:01] <alexvd_> yes well it also has a control panel thats nice.
[19:01] <alexvd_> the tv out setup is really sweet
[19:01] <alexvd_> it enables vnc and nfs all nicely
[19:01] <savageone1> that's what I'm doing then
[19:01] <alexvd_> so it make life much easier
[19:01] <savageone1> less work = good
[19:01] <alexvd_> it really does
[19:02] <savageone1> what's your involvement w/ the project?
[19:02] <alexvd_> it also has some scripts for mysql database
[19:02] <alexvd_> i am just a user
[19:02] <alexvd_> trying to fix my setup
[19:02] <savageone1> I hear ya
[19:02] <alexvd_> i run knoppmyth for 3 years
[19:02] <alexvd_> however i got tired of the upgrade path and i run ubuntu on my desktops
[19:03] <alexvd_> so it seemed the better way to go
[19:03] <alexvd_> so are you good with mounting drives and nfs etc
[19:04] <savageone1> a little
[19:04] <savageone1> ;)
[19:04] <savageone1> it's nice to have the gui for that, honestly
[19:04] <savageone1> hehe
[19:04] <savageone1> I can do:  man mount
[19:04] <savageone1> ;)
[19:04] <alexvd_> ok
[19:04] <alexvd_> I will figure it out or just reinstall
[19:04] <savageone1> you got your data seperate I assume
[19:05] <savageone1> my beef w/ mythtv before,a nd with linuxmce now, is it isn't as geared towards "collectors" as aI'd like
[19:05] <savageone1> I mean, I've got a HUGE movie collection, a lot of different formats
[19:05] <savageone1> and I want to keep collecting
[19:05] <alexvd_> yeah that is the plan.  I dont want to keep losing all my data and recordings everytime this stupid friggin probles with the serial ports
[19:05] <savageone1> I also want to be able to pop in a dvd, and rip it to the core w/ or w/o compression on a per case basis
[19:05] <alexvd_> well i have only couple terabytes
[19:05] <savageone1> same here hehe
[19:06] <alexvd_> you can do that pretty easy in knoppmyth or any mythtv
[19:06] <savageone1> linuxmce you damned near had to reboot to see data
[19:06] <savageone1> yup
[19:06] <savageone1> my knopmmyth box is still up haha
[19:06] <savageone1> it's my backup when the girl starts bitching
[19:06] <alexvd_> linuxmce looks intriquing but i cant see all that stuff working
[19:06] <alexvd_> yeah tell me about it girl start bitching my wife hates mythtv
[19:07] <alexvd_> i have to fix it today or she is going to kill me
[19:07] <alexvd_> ok hey good luck going to take my daughter to the park.  Good luck.
[19:35] <savageone1> how would you change the mythbuntu loading screen graphics
[19:35] <savageone1> I want to put my name in there hehe
[19:41] <Daviey> loading screen?
[19:41] <Daviey> the usplash boot?
[19:46] <savageone1> yes
[19:46] <savageone1> I believe
[19:46] <savageone1> when yo9u turn it on, after the bios tests etc, when it's loading mythbuntu
[19:47] <savageone1> w/ the load bar
[20:03] <Daviey> aayes thats usplash.. check out the source and replace the pics .. google will help
[20:04] <Daviey> http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=usplash&btnG
[20:10] <rinaldi_> on mythtv on mythbuntu why am i not able to see videos in the library section? do the files have to be in a certain folder/ certain file type. also if i want to access the files from my laptop should i just run the frontend from the laptop and configure to connect to the backend on my pc? thanks
[20:10] <Daviey> if you like, or use vlc et
[20:10] <Daviey> etc
[20:10] <Daviey> and yes, video's have to be in a certain location, and the default setup requires a 'scan'
[20:12] <rinaldi_> daviey: when i scan a small box falshes blue and then goes off. im not sure it has even scanned. i also changed the video store location to where my videos are and scanned but still no luck
[20:12] <Daviey> permissions?
[20:13] <rinaldi_> well i pu the location as being /home/videos/. so i dunno, not sure about permission
[20:13] <Daviey> I think the solution is for you to keep trying different things :)
[20:14] <rinaldi_> yeh il keep at it! thanks
[20:38] <rikardot> can anyone help me with lirc for imon?
[20:42] <rikardot> does has any
[20:42] <rikardot> does anybody have any expirience with imon drivers for soundgrapth components?

[22:16] <Daviey> rikardot: if you don't state
[22:16] <Daviey> we can't answer - most of us are using lirc
[22:38] <pteague> anybody know what the url for the buy one get one is? for the laptops?
[23:51] <rikardot> Daviey: I have Zalman case HD160XTplus (it has built in SoundGraph touch LCD display and IR receiver), it should work with imon drivers but it doesnt
[23:52] <rikardot> it is funny that zalman remote just works without lirc until I press buttons that are not sending mouse commands
