MythbuntuGuest59anyone have any luck fixing frontends with choppy video?01:23
john__i live in the us my lower channels from 2 to 13 come in fine the rest of the channels from 14 to 80 are all static. I'm using a hauppauge pvr 15001:35
john__in the mythbuntu manual it talks about downloading and installing firmware for the pvr 150 is this still necc with the latest version of mythbuntu?01:44
rhpot1991maybe when you setup your channels you didn't pick the right option, there is one that lists something along the lines of cable/broadcast/antenna01:45
john__i have it set to cable01:46
Davieyjohn__: type, dmesg | grep dvb THEN dmesg | grep DVB01:53
DavieyIt will tell you if it could load the firmware01:54
john__ok02:13
Aquahallicevenin' folks02:33
impotencelo02:33
impotencehas anyone seen any quad channel DVB-T (UK Freeview) PCI cards by any chance?02:34
AquahallicI have a lirc config file for my remote already from a previous install of myth... I'm using the homebrew serial receiver... is there a remote in the dropdown in the control center that will setup a remote (don't care which I can put my own config files in) and setup for the homebrew serial receiver???02:38
john__Daviey i did both of those commands and nothing shows up04:31
john__i guess that would explain why the remote for the pvr 150 doesn't work now also04:31
john__the way i read the manual i only need to download the firmware if i want the remote to control another device04:33
IolausHey laga, thanks for committing a fix for the mythlib-perl issue in trunk!04:57

frink__Hello - happy new year all!10:54
JGJonesGreetings everyone.14:12
JGJonesI have the Happauge Nova 500T (dual digital tuner card) in my mythtv backend server.14:12
JGJonesIt works, I don't have a problem with that. However my problem with the card lies in signal strength - on a Freeview box (crappy £30 model) - I get around 90% signal strength14:13
JGJonesBut on mythTV backend it's closer to 60% or so and so I cannot get some digital "blocks" (In UK I believe there's 6 of them?)14:14
JGJonesmeaning I cannot get those blocks that contain channels such as ITV and so on.14:14
JGJonesI've enabled the onboard booster in module options - but is it just the card that's a problem? Or something else?14:15
MythbuntuGuest68hi14:51
MythbuntuGuest68i was wondering if anyone online has managed to get the Hauppauge Nova-T remote control working correctly14:52
JGJonesHauppauge Nova-T remote does work now15:11
JGJonesLet me get the URL...15:11
JGJoneshttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_PCI#The_Nova-t_Remote_Control - there ya go (it worked for me on the backend while testing but my laptop doesn't have a IRC port that Ubuntu support so I don't use it)15:12
Iolausyou around laga?15:38
AquahallicMornin' folks15:41
AquahallicI did a new setup of Mythbuntu 7.10... my video card is a Nvidia GeForce 4 MX440... so I need the legacy drivers... when I go into the Mythbuntu Control Center/Proprietary Drivers.... it doesn't let me pick the legacy drivers....:(15:44
Aquahallicis there any way to set this to install legacy drivers???15:44
Dr_willisYou could manually apt-get install the gla-legacy pacakge i think15:45
pdragoncan try using apt-get to pick the legacy driver package15:45
Dr_willis!find legacy15:45
ubotuFound: edubuntu-addon-legacy, kmilo-legacy, legacyhuman-theme, xkb-data-legacy, nvidia-glx-legacy (and 2 others)15:45
pdragonbah... beat me to it15:45
Dr_willis:)15:45
Dr_willissudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy15:46
Aquahallicty.. I'll try that...:)15:47
Aquahallicthat will install everything?15:49
Aquahalliclegacy kernel source, driver and glx???15:49
JGJonesyes it will15:55
Dr_willisit should15:55
Dr_willis!nvidia15:55
ubotuTo install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto15:55
Aquahallichmmm16:15
JGJoneshttp://www.ukfree.tv/txdetail.php?a=IJ287750 - bah this probably explains why my MythTV backend cannot pick up some mux's (even though it picks up perfectly clear on a cheap digital set top box for all channels)16:15
Aquahalliclooks like glx didn't buld up correctly16:15
AquahallicXlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"16:15
Aquahallicthat's in my frontend log16:15
Dr_willisdid you restart the X server after installing the nvidia driver?16:19
Dr_willisis the nvidia driver actually being used.. Check the xorg.conf file. for a   Driver "nvidia"  line16:20
JGJonesI think you might need to reboot for kernal headers?16:20
Aquahallicyes.. .and yes16:23
Aquahallicxorg is trying to load glx...16:23
Aquahallicanyone else have experience with a GeForce MX 440 in Mythbuntu???16:54
Dr_willisthat card should work find with the ubuntus.16:58
Dr_willisfine.16:58
hassehello, mythstream, why isn't that updated when libmyth is ?17:02
Aquahallicyeah... I've had it working with knoppmyth fine... but the newest build of knoppmyth used a newer legacy driver and I had to revert back to 1.0.8776.... or all my fonts were jacked17:02
Aquahallicso I'm trying to figure out how to revert back on mythbuntu... but when I do it says it can't load GLX17:02
Aquahallic:/17:02
Dr_willischeck the xcorg.conf for a line mentioning GLX.17:03
Aquahallicyup17:03
Aquahallicit's there17:03
Aquahallicas an option17:03
Dr_willisTry commenting it out? :)17:03
Dr_willisperhaps the older cards cant do glx?17:04
Aquahallicyes it can17:04
AquahallicI had it with my other build17:04
Dr_willisive given away all my old cards. so cant even test abny more17:04
Aquahallicyeah... mine will support it17:04
Dr_williscould backup the xorg.conf - move/rename it and generate a new one.17:05
Aquahallicjust something isn't getting built right when I do apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy17:05
Aquahallicdid that already17:05
Aquahallic:)17:05
Aquahalliceven tried my old one I was using before17:05
Dr_willisI alwo see mention of glx here...  for legacy cards.17:05
Dr_willisXlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".17:05
Dr_willisSegmentation fault17:05
AquahallicI get that Xlib error17:06
Dr_willis/var/log/Xorg.0.log:17:06
Aquahallicbut I never did before....:(17:06
Dr_willis(EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension17:06
Dr_willisThe site says to disable the composite extension17:06
Aquahalliccomposite??17:07
Dr_willishttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia17:07
Dr_willisabout 1/2 way down17:07
Aquahallichmmm17:08
Aquahalliclet me give that a whirl...;)17:08
Aquahallicty17:08
* Aquahallic crosses all fingers and toes17:08
Dr_willisWell im off to get ready for work.. :( ugh17:08

Iolausanyone else having trouble with the US weekly build mirror?20:55
IolausI'm getting 403 forbidden on the web address20:57
mindofmetalSo, I edited the mythnews rss xml listing, and now it's broken when I try to go through setup and specify my new feed.  I get nothing but a blue empty screen.  I tried removing my new lines in the news-sites.xml but it's still just an empty blue screen.  Doesnt bother me to much as I have already set up the feeds I want, but is it not possible to add a new feed?21:09
superm1Iolaus, try again21:42
superm1i just manually resynced it21:42
MythbuntuGuest93helllo21:57
MythbuntuGuest93pls how can i increase the mplayer buffer when reading media from network21:58
Aquahallicevenin' folks22:04
Iolaussuperm1: I still seem to be getting 403 permission denied22:06
Iolauswhen trying to access this: http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu22:07
superm1Iolaus, you can't browse it22:07
superm1only apt can22:07
Iolausah22:07
Iolauslet me try apt again22:07
Iolaussweet, looks better now :)22:08
savageone1howdie folks22:08
savageone1my mythbuntu box rocks22:08
savageone1figured I'd give some poisitive feedback instead of asking a question haha22:08
superm1thanks savageone1 :)22:09
JGJonesI second that :)22:13
JGJonesIt's awesome...just a pity I'm unable to pick up some mux's in NIreland despite a set-top box being able to do so with full strength signal, but mythtv gives me 60% at best - I blame the hardware not mythbuntu in this case btw.22:14
JGJoneswhich remain me...22:16
JGJoneswhat's a good hardware that's very well supported on Linux for digital TV (Freeview in UK)?22:17
JGJonesIdeally a dual tuner if possible22:17
JGJonesI am using the Nova-T 500 card atm but as mentioned, it doesn't seem to be able to boost the signal itself so I have a weak signal and miss out on channels such as ITV, Film4 and so on.22:18
AquahallicAnyone using a "Homebrew Serial Receiver" for lirc with mythbuntu?22:22
JGJonesIs anyone using a sat for Mythbuntu as opposed to over-the-air digital TV?22:34
JGJonesam wondering what's a good sat card with a Common Interface (for card) to get?22:34
jcg42Is it easier to install Mythbuntu then the ubuntu-desktop package or to install the regular Ubuntu and Install Mythbuntu on top of that?22:52
IolausHey guys, I upgraded to trunk successfully now with the new build but I'm not able to get TV working.  I'm getting the following in the front-end log: http://pastebin.com/d174df2e823:03
IolausThe front-end is actually running on the same server as the back-end23:04
john__anyone here good with nfs shares?23:04
superm1Iolaus, check the backend log23:07
superm1is it actually running?23:07
IolausI'm not seeing anything unusual in the backend log and the process list seems to indicate the backend it up and running fine23:08
Iolaushere's what I've got from the backend log: http://pastebin.com/m45f1591523:10
superm1check what ports its listening on23:11
superm1with netstat then23:11
Iolausk23:11
Iolaushmm... should I be seeing mythtv in the netstat list?23:12
IolausI'm seeing mysqld but not myth23:13
superm1if you have it bound to the public interface, yes you should be seeing it23:15
torkelare there any know issues with gutsy and hauppauge 350's and no sounds in the recordings? Checking lp and the mythtv/ivtv mailinglists indicates that there may be problems but I can't find any definite answer23:15
Iolaussuperm1, is there any way it could have gotten mis-bound during the upgrade to trunk?23:15
Iolauseverything was working well before the upgrade23:16
superm1from an old trunk to a new trunk?23:16
superm1or from fixes to trunk?23:16
superm1toorima, not that i'm aware23:16
Iolausfixes to new trunk23:16
superm1Iolaus, the way that was configured might have changed, but i dont use trunk myself23:18
superm1so i'm not positive23:18
superm1i use fixes myself still :)23:18
Iolaushmm.. can you tell me how to check which interface myth is bound to?23:18
Iolausduring the setup it said it would use the first interface listed from ifconfig (which in my case is eth0 and is the active interface)23:19
superm1sudo netstat -antp | grep myth23:19
superm1should tell you23:19
superm1that is for mysql binding23:19
Iolaustcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6544            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     6148/mythbackend23:20
superm1that's a different port then normal23:20
superm1did that change in trunk perhaps?23:20
superm1its normally 6543 i thought23:20
IolausI think trunk said something about 6544 being the status port23:21
Iolausit was still set to 6543 for the master server port23:21
IolausThe lack of the 6543 port must be the issue though, I wonder what the deal is23:21
superm1well yours there isn't listening on 6543, so that's gotta be related23:22
Iolausstrange, you'd think mythbackend log would be yelling if there was a problem23:24
john__is there something that needs to be changed to allow a connection from a mythbuntu to a gusty box? I can ping my router and access the net from both pc's but can't ping each other23:32
tgm4883john__, you need to enable the mysql service in MCC23:35
tgm4883on the master backend23:35
