| john__ | is there a trick to getting the hauppauge pvr-150 to display a tv channel? | 01:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Dr_willis | john__, in that one myth tv setting/setup area. it dont select the right card by default Ive noticed. | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | one of the pulldown menus. I had to be sure to pick the card. | 01:08 |
| Dr_willis | Other then that.. it was rather straight forward | 01:09 |
| john__ | okay i'll go and check the settings | 01:10 |
| john__ | I started recording a program so that will have to wait till later | 01:14 |
| john__ | I think i just selected the haupauge tv card | 01:14 |
| javatexan | howdy all!! | 01:42 |
| javatexan | i am having trouble ripping from DVD in mythbuntu | 01:43 |
| javatexan | can anyone help? | 01:43 |
| javatexan | I think it has to do with my user | 01:43 |
| javatexan | i keep getting errors where I have to do everything it seems in sudo | 01:43 |
| javatexan | so I am guessing that the process is working, just cant write the files | 01:44 |
| javatexan | ive tried chmod -R 777 on my recordings folder but doesnt seem to help | 01:44 |
| javatexan | any ideas? | 01:44 |
| javatexan | my user is in group mythtv and in group root, are there any others? | 01:45 |
| javatexan | at this point I am just swingin in thin air. Not sure what to do now | 01:46 |
| Dr_willis | actualy rips go to some tmp dir i thought | 01:48 |
| javatexan | it says that the temp files go there | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. i havent tried ripping in ages.. let me try one. | 01:50 |
| javatexan | at the end of the rip it says Something is thinking and then the transcode just stops and says there are no pending jobs | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | do you need the dvd css stuf finstalled to rip? Hmm | 01:51 |
| javatexan | I just when through the mythtv menus to rip | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | I cant even figure out how to do the ripping... :) | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis | optical -> disk.. -> hit 0 to start a job.. enter name.. then what.. heh heh. | 01:54 |
| javatexan | LOL...np..I will keep looking at it | 01:54 |
| javatexan | after that I get a 20min wait | 01:54 |
| javatexan | with some bars | 01:54 |
| javatexan | then when the 'rip' part is over, something starts to think and then nothin | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | Ok.. what am i missing here.. i see the 2 parts.. i arror left/right - i sleected the biggest one.. entered a name... NOW what.. :) | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | AHA.. '0 process selected title' :) i had to hit 0 | 01:56 |
| javatexan | I chose not perfect, but excellent....... | 01:56 |
| javatexan | yep. | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | I thoght it had 0 Processes going... :) | 01:56 |
| john__ | how hard is it to have mythbuntu get video files from another gutsy box? | 02:02 |
| javatexan | okay...ripping file again....we will cross our eyes | 02:04 |
| Daviey | john__: should be easy | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | john__, make a nfs share. mount it somewhere. | 02:06 |
| john__ | i assume on the gutsy box? | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | javatexan, it ripped here. to a .iso in the videos dir. | 02:07 |
| javatexan | maybe its because I am not using iso | 02:07 |
| javatexan | I am using excellent | 02:08 |
| javatexan | so it has to transcode the file too | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure about that. ;) I just stuck the disk in ripped. | 02:09 |
| javatexan | ;) | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | 4522901504 2007-12-30 21:05 MeaningOfLife.iso | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | Egads. Yes. it would be nice to get that transcoded to somthing smaller | 02:09 |
| javatexan | ya | 02:10 |
| javatexan | delete it and try it with excellent quality...It should make a mp4 | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | So what are you doing exactly? Execlent quality.. ahh.. Ok | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | How is that better quality then the dvd? :) | 02:10 |
| javatexan | prolly not | 02:11 |
| javatexan | I think perfect is mpeg2, excellent is mp4 and good is divx | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. divx is proberly good eniogh for me then. :) | 02:12 |
| javatexan | cool....I guess my transcode is not set up properly | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | I got Mythfrontend running from a terminal also. so i can watch the error messages/logs :) | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | it seems to be working | 02:12 |
| javatexan | cool | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | I know how to backup the wifes Movies now at least. | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | What is it with people that have to have 2000+ DVD movies.. ALL on the shelfs right next to the tv.. | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | its not like she even has them organized on the shelfs. | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:13 |
| javatexan | i am backing up my kids Ben10 Dvd before they destroy them....LOL | 02:13 |
| javatexan | ;) | 02:13 |
| Dr_willis | Of course the RIAA willproberly say tahts not legal.. | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | or is that the MPAA? | 02:14 |
| Dr_willis | Kids and their Movies.. If i NEVER have to see 'Cars' again.. it will be too soon. | 02:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | hello everyone. I am wondering what the install process looks like when you istall Myth, is their a progress indication? | 02:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | hey wy have you installed myth successfully? | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis | i installed it a few months ago. - i dont rember any profress bar. | 02:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | It's wierd it's been sitting there for an hour or two, there is just a little tiny window with nothing in it | 02:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | and then every few minutes something happens on CD Drive | 02:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | I'm restarting it using the hard drive and seeing what happens | 02:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | Now I'm getting a login/password prompt (command line) and then when I enter info it says -bash /dev/null permission denied | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | javatexan, well it seems to be transcoding. its on pass2.. but that will take it an hr or so.. | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | MythbuntuGuest21, sounds like the install failed. odd.. | 02:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | Thanks I guess I'll give it another try...I didn't really know what to do at the partitioning portion I guess it's possible I selected something wrong there | 02:32 |
| javatexan | crud...mine failed again.....lucky dog... LOL | 02:41 |
| javatexan | i wonder if something is wrong with transcode....wonder how I would test that | 02:41 |
| javatexan | although...I cant find anywhere it is saving a rather large tmp file | 02:42 |
| javatexan | i am still waiting on the cable co to send me a SA 3250HD with the firewire turned on | 02:43 |
| javatexan | so I don't havet the schedules setup anymore...they expired on the 25th I think | 02:43 |
| javatexan | i did the normal mythbuntu install | 02:44 |
| javatexan | and added this user as the non root user.....what could be amiss | 02:44 |
| Dr_willis | mine still has an hr+ to go.. | 02:45 |
| javatexan | well thats not totally true...I added the ubuntu desktop to it | 02:45 |
| javatexan | thats cool...mine crashes before that | 02:45 |
| javatexan | when it finishes readin the dvd drive, it says transcode is thinking...puts up a few "...." and then quits and says there are no jobs...I can rip a dvd by pressing 0 | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis | I guessi will know in an hr+ :) | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | i should of tested on a smaller movie | 02:49 |
| javatexan | lol...np...I will go kick my computer while we wait | 02:49 |
| javatexan | man I hate that I will eventually have to put qemu and winblows on this system....so sad | 02:50 |
| javatexan | i cant find a way to convert .tivo files to mpeg4 without the tivo desktop which only runs well on windblows | 02:51 |
| javatexan | Dr_willis: I am guessing there is something wrong with my install or some of the settings. Can I make changes vi ssh? | 02:53 |
| javatexan | or do I have to be on the box | 02:54 |
| Dr_willis | If you got sshd installed you could | 03:00 |
| javatexan | yeah I do | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | ssh -Y remotebox then run the mythtv config tool :) | 03:00 |
| javatexan | -Y? | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | dont run the frontend over ssh. it ... dont work too good. :) | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | or -X | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | local lan i think -Y is a little faster | 03:01 |
| Daviey | Dr_willis: worked for me as a test a few months ago | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | i got the front end.. but the videos dident work. :) i was all confused.. then i realized i had ssh'd to the machine.. and wasent running the actual mythtv front end on the local machine like i though i was doing. | 03:03 |
| javatexan | ok..what is the command line for the config tool again....sorry | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | hmm,. myth-setup ? mythtv-setup ? | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | mythtv-setup L:) | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | Ok- its taking 3 hrs total to transcode a 1 hr movie.. :) | 03:33 |
| Dr_willis | well it may be 1.44 hr movie. :) I should set up MythTV on my faster machine to do this. | 03:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | Hello everyone...Anyone available to help setup a tuner card, my seems to not be working | 03:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest21 | I should say help me setup | 03:52 |
| javatexan | Dr_willis: did it ever finish? | 03:56 |
| javatexan | i think my install is messed up. I have several groups with the same names buy different ids | 03:57 |
| javatexan | never mind...redraw and now its happy....what is this thing windows? LMAO | 03:58 |
| javatexan | so I want my user to be in what group(s)? | 03:58 |
| javatexan | right now, he is in admin | 03:59 |
| javatexan | mythtv | 04:00 |
| javatexan | i think that is it | 04:01 |
| javatexan | Dr_willis: did it ever finish? | 04:17 |
| javatexan | the dvd rip | 04:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest22 | total noob here, i just installed mythbuntu and i have a Radeon HD 2400XT and im using HDMI for both the video and sound, but i only get video, any ideas on what i can read to fix this? | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | well if Javatexan ever comes back.. it finished and worked fine. :) | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | Just took 3 hrs. | 05:51 |
| hansoffate | Dr_willis: what? | 05:55 |
| hansoffate | what did you do | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | ripped a dvd to video. He was having problems. | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | he could rip to .iso but none of the transcoding stuff worked for him | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | Somthing I always wanted to do. :) finially figured out how. | 05:56 |
| hansoffate | i see, awesome | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | Now if i could train the wife to put all her dvd's on the pc... | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | I wouldent have to have a whole wall of shelfs for her 'library' | 05:58 |
| hansoffate | lol, that's alot of work | 06:01 |
| hansoffate | i am waiting on my part's to build my new backend/frontend | 06:01 |
| hansoffate | they won't get here till the 4th | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Can a front end box. rip dvd's to the backend for 'storage' | 06:02 |
| pdragon | depends where you told it to store videos | 06:05 |
| pdragon | drawing a blank now, but doesn't it put the ripped dvd in the video file folder when it's done? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | Just wasent sure if the mythtv frontend's 'optical media' menus would see the front ends dvd diskdrive .. or the backend's dvd drive | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | I normally have the 'videos' dir on a NFS share for the frontend to access. :) | 06:07 |
| pdragon | pretty sure it sees the front end optical drive | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | pdragon, yea.. would be a little odd the other way.. BUT i could understand it seeing the backends | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | that way the frontends could play a dvd without a drive at all. | 06:07 |
| pdragon | i havent set up a separate frontend myself yet, so honestly just guessing | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | I got one.. but its just sitting there.. unused. :) | 06:08 |
| pdragon | hehe | 06:08 |
| pdragon | haven't had a need for one yet myself | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | id never made just a front end.. so i made one.. then needed the monitor somewhere else. | 06:08 |
| pdragon | my second tv is an old tiny one with no video inputs | 06:08 |
| rhpot1991 | Dr_willis: I have 2 backends, one rips to the other | 06:09 |
| rhpot1991 | just setup an nfs share | 06:09 |
| pdragon | off to bed. just browsin through my irc channels to see what's goin on | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Id like to be able to rip/transcode on the 3rd machine i got.. it has 8x the CPU power of the backend. :) | 06:10 |
| rhpot1991 | I prob shoulda read everything you said instead of seeing the question then skipping to the current time | 06:10 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not entirely sure if the drive is supposed to be on the back or frontend | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | heh. :) | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | I will try it tomorrow i guess | 06:19 |
| frink__ | moo | 10:14 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Can someone give me an estimation how long commercial flagging for a half-hour recording might take on a P4 1.8 GHz with 664 MB RAM, nothing else running? | 11:13 |
| frink__ | moooo | 12:00 |
| john__ | howdo i get back into the mythtv setup to change the input device? | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | to change the input device? | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | mythtv-setup | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | that gets you into mythtv setup | 18:43 |
| john__ | i want to make sure the right hauppuage card is listed | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 18:43 |
| john__ | i went into setup on the main screen but that doesn't show me what i want | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | well you can run mythtv-setup from the command line, and it will take you where you need | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | it will need to stop the backend though | 18:43 |
| john__ | my problem is i'm not getting any video when i select watch tv | 18:44 |
| pdragon | can also get to it from MCC, no? | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | yep | 18:44 |
| john__ | i will try that thanks | 18:45 |
| john__ | okay got tv output now. But it's so slow it's like watching a movie in slow speed | 18:56 |
| john__ | any ideas? | 18:56 |
| * Dr_willis has none | 18:58 | |
| Dr_willis | You do have the proper video card drivers isntalled? | 18:58 |
| Dr_willis | Guess i did have an idea. :) | 18:58 |
| john__ | i'm using the restricted drivers for an ati radeon 9500 series card | 18:59 |
| * Dr_willis shirks back from ati.. "Hurts Us.... My precciousssss" | 18:59 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 18:59 |
| pdragon | restarted the x session since you installed them? | 18:59 |
| john__ | yes | 18:59 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder if.. err.. DRI is enabled on them. | 18:59 |
| pdragon | hmm... not sure | 18:59 |
| laga | AAIK the free X driver supports tv-out as well | 18:59 |
| Dr_willis | but that wouldent affect the tv out would it? | 19:00 |
| laga | i suggest you check your playback logs | 19:00 |
| john__ | so how do i check if DRI is enabled? | 19:00 |
| john__ | i have the pc connected to a 51 inch wide screen tv thru the dvi cable | 19:00 |
| laga | ah, DVI | 19:00 |
| Iolaus | Hey laga: any word on that libmyth-perl trunk fix? | 19:01 |
| laga | Iolaus: sorry, got distracted by all kinds of stuff today :/ | 19:01 |
| laga | john__: why don't you try the free driver? | 19:01 |
| laga | i'm surprised that restricted-manager even let you use fglrx | 19:01 |
| Iolaus | no problem, can't look a gift horse in the mouth :) | 19:01 |
| john__ | how would i go about using the free driver? Just disable the restricted driver? | 19:02 |
| laga | i think so | 19:02 |
| laga | Iolaus: as i said, it should work if you remove mythtv-common or whatever package was conflicting ;) | 19:02 |
| john__ | i will give that a try and report back | 19:02 |
| Iolaus | laga: I'm not terribly familiar with the apt-get system. I ran into some problems. | 19:03 |
| Iolaus | I think by removing the myth-common it removed everything associated and then when I did apt-get dist-upgrade it didn't pull down the new stuff since it had been removed | 19:03 |
| laga | Iolaus: dependency problems i suppose. just wait then, i suppose it's not terribly urgent (?) | 19:04 |
| laga | right, that's ugly :/ | 19:04 |
| Iolaus | laga: yup, figured I'd just wait :) | 19:04 |
| Iolaus | I'm excited to try out some of the stuff they've apparently added to the trunk from the mythtv-vid branch | 19:07 |
| ickyb0d | hello all. quick question... is anyone familiar with a process "cnxscan" that runs on mythbuntu? I fear this process may have just killed my machine | 19:13 |
| laga | apt-file search does not find such a file here | 19:17 |
| laga | try google. looks like some cracked your box | 19:17 |
| tgm4883 | ickyb0d, killed your box? | 19:19 |
| ickyb0d | yeah, i tried google - didn't find too much | 19:19 |
| ickyb0d | killed, i'm not sure yet, still trying stuff out | 19:21 |
| ickyb0d | but basically, when i boot up, i get the mythtv setup screen saying that it can't connect to mysql and to check my settings | 19:21 |
| ickyb0d | upon trying to open a terminal, it immediately closes the terminal with no error messages | 19:21 |
| laga | Iolaus: is it possible to access your mythtv box from the internet? | 19:22 |
| ickyb0d | when i try and log in via command line (alt+ctrl+F6), it just keeps displaying : Ubunutu 7.10 <machine name> tty6 and re-prompting me for a login | 19:22 |
| john__ | ok with using the free driver's i lose the use of the dvi ouput.i can use s-video thou but the machine locks up when selecting watch tv.If i use the vga ouput on a monitor the picture is alright and plays fine when i start my box now i get a warning about running in low graphic mode | 19:23 |
| laga | ouch :/ | 19:23 |
| laga | wrt john__ i mean | 19:23 |
| * laga gotta run | 19:23 | |
| laga | have a nice new year's eve and don't get too wasted :) | 19:24 |
| ickyb0d | Then booting in recovery mode - it prompts me for a root password, (which doesn't work) so ctrl+d to get to command line, and everything just basically segfaults and dies. heh, so i'm pretty sure the computer the OS is dead :( | 19:24 |
| Iolaus | laga: sorry I missed your message. I could open up my myth box to the internet | 19:31 |
| slestak | im considering adding mythbuntu to an existing gutsy machine. its not too old of an install, so I may just toast it and go straight mythbuntu. i "may" want to run some other apps later, does it really make a difference. | 19:31 |
| john__ | anyone have any idea what screen setting i should use for a 51" widescreen tv? | 19:32 |
| laga | Iolaus: no, not you. i was referring to ickyb0d. i'm wondering if his mythtv box was compromised.. | 19:32 |
| Iolaus | ah :) | 19:32 |
| laga | slestak: no, it doesn't really make a difference. just follow the instructions on www.mythbuntu.org | 19:32 |
| laga | bye | 19:33 |
| john__ | or what do i have to add to the xorg file to use the s-video or dvi ouput of a ati 9500 series card | 19:34 |
| ickyb0d | heh, yeah... my mythtv box is not accessable to the internet. It's behind a router's firewall and only accessable to the local network | 19:35 |
| Viaken | nvidia-settings is getting a picture on the TV, but saving to xorg.conf doesn't seem to stick. That is, when I logout, it starts back up with automatic settings. | 19:46 |
| Viaken | Also, now "Watch TV" won't work. It just kicks back to the menu. | 19:47 |
| Viaken | I seem to've messed something up. :P | 19:47 |
| Viaken | ok...first problem was sudo. lol | 19:52 |
| Viaken | Second was 2 input sources defined. | 20:05 |
| john__ | okay i installed envy and let that app install the latest ati drivers i have good picture quality now.But when i have the wire from the sound card connected to the tv i get a loud hum also after about 3 min of playing the computer locks up any ideas? | 20:10 |
| Viaken | Does it lock up if you leave the sound off? | 20:13 |
| john__ | yes | 20:14 |
| john__ | i'm so close to getting this to work | 20:14 |
| john__ | i've built this system out of spare parts i had laying around. 2.4 ghz P4 2 gigs of ram and a 100 gig hard drive and a hauppuage pvr-150 | 20:15 |
| john__ | and a ati 9500 agp video card | 20:16 |
| Viaken | Yeah, I've basically got the same thing going on. lol Except mine only has 384MB of RAM. | 20:17 |
| john__ | didn't want to spend alot till i saw how it was going to work out | 20:20 |
| john__ | before investing in a better remote and computer case | 20:20 |
| john__ | the humming i can probably fix with ground isolation cables | 20:21 |
| john__ | just gotta figure out what is causing the lock up | 20:21 |
| john__ | also if i try to play a dvd it drops me back to the desktop | 20:32 |
| Viaken | Run memtest86 on it? | 20:41 |
| slestak | is it typical to get suspend working on mythboxes? | 20:47 |
| slestak | or do you just let them run 24x7 | 20:48 |
| john__ | ok i will let memtest run for a couple of hours and c what happens | 20:51 |
| john__ | i assume when the lower half of the screen when running memtest that isn't a good thing?lol | 20:57 |
| john__ | now the pvr-150 remote no longer works | 21:33 |
| javatexan | howdy all | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | Hi javatexan | 21:45 |
| javatexan | heres a fun topic.. i am trying to find a cheap video card to run mythbuntu on with svideo out.... any preference | 21:45 |
| Dr_willis | My DVD did reencode to an avi just fine last night. :) | 21:45 |
| Dr_willis | javatexan, low end nvidia card. fanless design. :) | 21:45 |
| Dr_willis | javatexan, they have several last i looked. | 21:46 |
| Dr_willis | Fanless = quiet, proberly in the $50 and under range | 21:46 |
| javatexan | awesome...i did the setup again and it worked...weird... | 21:46 |
| javatexan | does nvidia have to be the man or can it be pny or the others...are there any differences? | 21:47 |
| javatexan | lets, see i see xfx, evga, pny, kfa ......any favorites or one to stay awawy from | 21:51 |
| javatexan | XFX GeForce 7300 GS or a XFX GeForce 7600 GT | 21:54 |
| javatexan | or a XFX GeForce 8500 GT | 21:55 |
| javatexan | where is the supported video cards list for mythbuntu | 22:48 |
| javatexan | is it different for 7.10? | 22:49 |
| * Dr_willis wakes up.. :) | 23:04 | |
| Dr_willis | about any card that works with Ubuntu, or linux should work. Stick with nvidia. to be safe | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | I have a 5500 in my frontend box. It has a fan.. but its very quiet | 23:04 |
| Daviey | javatexan: *AVOID* ATI | 23:17 |
| javatexan | okay....I am looking at XFX, KF2...are any of the other nvidias manufactu any good......I am having a hard time finding one that is supported on the ubuntu page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia | 23:18 |
| tgm4883 | I use a gigabyte nvidia 7300GS | 23:20 |
| javatexan | I can only get a biostar 7300GS is biostar any good | 23:21 |
| CygnusX1 | Any reports of mythbuntu killing optical drives? | 23:27 |
| tgm4883 | nope | 23:27 |
| tgm4883 | javatexan, afaik, the differences between the different manu. is things like what ports are on the back, how much memory. But the chipset remains the same | 23:28 |
| CygnusX1 | Installed test system last night...could not get VNC to work post install --> no medium found. Took CDROM out of sources, got VNC installed. Going for a production install tonight and the CDROM is dead. Pioneer DVD-ROM actually. | 23:29 |
| tgm4883 | CygnusX1, very strange, but I've never heard of a optical drive being killed by a distro | 23:30 |
| CygnusX1 | tgm4883: There was a spate of that a couple of years back with LG drives I believe. | 23:30 |
| tgm4883 | link? | 23:30 |
| CygnusX1 | Don't recall the how or why. | 23:30 |
| CygnusX1 | http://groups.google.com/group/alt.os.linux.mandrake/browse_frm/thread/2d35423bd7ca1f25/f192ab3182dd3acd?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dalt.os.linux.mandrake#f192ab3182dd3acd | 23:31 |
| tgm4883 | interesting | 23:36 |
| tgm4883 | although I still have not heard of any problems with Mythbuntu (or Ubuntu) destroying optical drives | 23:37 |
| directhex | i heard one story about mandriva killing some drives a while ago | 23:38 |
| directhex | lg drives i think | 23:38 |
| tgm4883 | directhex, yes, see the above link | 23:39 |
| directhex | oh, is it a link about that? at least my memory's working | 23:39 |
| tgm4883 | although that was 4 years ago and it's kinda interesting that a distro would only break a certain manufacture | 23:40 |
| Daviey | Rude dvd's is known to make you blind - but not destroy the drive AFAIK | 23:41 |
| directhex | lg drives violated the ATAPI standard, by using the "flush cache" signal as a marker for "begin firmware update" | 23:41 |
| alexvd | Ok I cant figure out why my slavebackend backend is not working properly. I had to reinstall the masterbackend. Only thing that changed is the mysql password. Howeve the slavebackend doesnt restart properly. I had to go in manually edit the mysql.txt files to get it to stop giving an error about setting the ip adrress in general. Then it wiped out my capture cards. It wont restart properly at reboot. It wont restart | 23:42 |
| alexvd | when I run /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart as my user | 23:42 |
| alexvd | I can get it to start by running mythbackend -d | 23:42 |
| Daviey | logs show anything meaniful? | 23:43 |
| alexvd | I still have an issue with my capture card being listed as unavailable. I also dont see any information about the hard drive space etc.. in information | 23:43 |
| alexvd | directhex: is that still true. I just a bought a blueray hdvd drive that I am about to install | 23:44 |
| alexvd | Directhex: its a LG | 23:44 |
| directhex | i think they learnt their lesson | 23:45 |
| alexvd | Daviey: logs are not giving me any more errors now | 23:45 |
| alexvd | actually I am still getting the no setting found for this machine's backend server ip | 23:46 |
| alexvd | Daviey: I modified all the mysql.txt files I could find with locate | 23:47 |
| john__ | has anyone gotten a ati 9550 card to work? | 23:47 |
| directhex | john__, ati has issues under linux | 23:48 |
| john__ | yeah i know i was hoping to get lucky...lol | 23:48 |
| john__ | I didn't want to go out and spend alot of money on this project. So i'm using recycled parts to make sure it works well | 23:51 |
| CygnusX1 | Okay. I guess maybe it was just its time. | 23:51 |
| alexvd | john: they do have a script somewhere to support the ati cards. Head on over to the knoppmyth forums. Do a search for ati | 23:51 |
