[01:23] anyone have any luck fixing frontends with choppy video? [01:35] 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 150 [01:44] 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? [01:45] maybe when you setup your channels you didn't pick the right option, there is one that lists something along the lines of cable/broadcast/antenna [01:46] i have it set to cable [01:53] john__: type, dmesg | grep dvb THEN dmesg | grep DVB [01:54] It will tell you if it could load the firmware [02:13] ok [02:33] evenin' folks [02:33] lo [02:34] has anyone seen any quad channel DVB-T (UK Freeview) PCI cards by any chance? [02:38] I 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??? [04:31] Daviey i did both of those commands and nothing shows up [04:31] i guess that would explain why the remote for the pvr 150 doesn't work now also [04:33] the way i read the manual i only need to download the firmware if i want the remote to control another device [04:57] Hey laga, thanks for committing a fix for the mythlib-perl issue in trunk! [07:10] evenin' folks [07:10] 'er... mornin'...:) [07:51] im getting a 401 unauthorized error when running mythfilldatabase [07:51] is something screwed up with mysql? [10:54] Hello - happy new year all! [14:12] Greetings everyone. [14:12] I have the Happauge Nova 500T (dual digital tuner card) in my mythtv backend server. [14:13] It 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 strength [14:14] But 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] meaning I cannot get those blocks that contain channels such as ITV and so on. [14:15] I've enabled the onboard booster in module options - but is it just the card that's a problem? Or something else? [14:51] hi [14:52] i was wondering if anyone online has managed to get the Hauppauge Nova-T remote control working correctly [15:11] Hauppauge Nova-T remote does work now [15:11] Let me get the URL... [15:12] http://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) [15:38] you around laga? [15:41] Mornin' folks [15:44] I 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] is there any way to set this to install legacy drivers??? [15:45] You could manually apt-get install the gla-legacy pacakge i think [15:45] can try using apt-get to pick the legacy driver package [15:45] !find legacy [15:45] Found: edubuntu-addon-legacy, kmilo-legacy, legacyhuman-theme, xkb-data-legacy, nvidia-glx-legacy (and 2 others) [15:45] bah... beat me to it [15:45] :) [15:46] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy [15:47] ty.. I'll try that...:) [15:49] that will install everything? [15:49] legacy kernel source, driver and glx??? [15:55] yes it will [15:55] it should [15:55] !nvidia [15:55] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:15] hmmm [16:15] http://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] looks like glx didn't buld up correctly [16:15] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" [16:15] that's in my frontend log [16:19] did you restart the X server after installing the nvidia driver? [16:20] is the nvidia driver actually being used.. Check the xorg.conf file. for a Driver "nvidia" line [16:20] I think you might need to reboot for kernal headers? [16:23] yes.. .and yes [16:23] xorg is trying to load glx... [16:54] anyone else have experience with a GeForce MX 440 in Mythbuntu??? [16:58] that card should work find with the ubuntus. [16:58] fine. [17:02] hello, mythstream, why isn't that updated when libmyth is ? [17:02] yeah... 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 jacked [17:02] so I'm trying to figure out how to revert back on mythbuntu... but when I do it says it can't load GLX [17:02] :/ [17:03] check the xcorg.conf for a line mentioning GLX. [17:03] yup [17:03] it's there [17:03] as an option [17:03] Try commenting it out? :) [17:04] perhaps the older cards cant do glx? [17:04] yes it can [17:04] I had it with my other build [17:04] ive given away all my old cards. so cant even test abny more [17:04] yeah... mine will support it [17:05] could backup the xorg.conf - move/rename it and generate a new one. [17:05] just something isn't getting built right when I do apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy [17:05] did that already [17:05] :) [17:05] even tried my old one I was using before [17:05] I alwo see mention of glx here... for legacy cards. [17:05] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [17:05] Segmentation fault [17:06] I get that Xlib error [17:06] /var/log/Xorg.0.log: [17:06] but I never did before....:( [17:06] (EE) GLX is not supported with the Composite extension [17:06] The site says to disable the composite extension [17:07] composite?? [17:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [17:07] about 1/2 way down [17:08] hmmm [17:08] let me give that a whirl...;) [17:08] ty [17:08] * Aquahallic crosses all fingers and toes [17:08] Well im off to get ready for work.. :( ugh [17:09] thx for the help [17:26] hello, mythstream, why isn't that updated when libmyth is ? and when [17:27] hasse, should it be? [17:27] i cant execute it because of libmyth is wrong version [17:28] what version of mythstream? [17:28] and what version of libmyth [17:31] just a moment [17:32] the text on screen : the mythstream was compiled against libmyth version. 0.20.20070821-1, but the installed libmyth version is 0.21.20071211-1 [17:34] hasse, should have been queued up in this weekend's weekly build [17:34] laga added support for it [17:34] i'll check with him [17:35] great, [17:35] has it been pushed? [17:40] yeah it pushed [17:40] according to the .upload file [17:40] when [17:41] well a matter of when isnt the problem [17:41] because it doesnt show up in the list of packages [17:41] https://edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-trunk/+archive [17:41] ohhh, i thought that "pushed" means if it in the repository [17:42] superm1: When are we going to start building weekly hardy's? [17:43] Daviey, haven't considered it yet [17:43] hardy isn't a good idea to use until foxbuntu and i finish up the lirc changes anyhow [17:43] i finished up the main package 3 days ago [17:43] just need to finish up the revamp of mcc [17:43] anything i can do? [17:43] yes [17:44] if you can adjust ubiquity [17:44] to the lirc changes [17:46] I can take a look [17:47] Oh, still no reply RE: firmware [17:57] superm1: Any idea when the next trunk build will be released? [17:57] Iolaus, should show up today [17:57] it looks like laga comitted a patch to fix the problem I was having [17:57] after the mirrors sync [17:57] sweet :) [17:57] thanks [18:13] hello [18:14] pls how can i read media file over network from using mythbuntu and the files are stored in windows share machine ? [18:15] depends if its a one time thing and if you need to read it in mythtv [18:15] if you want to read it in mythtv [18:15] mount it using smbfs or cifs [18:16] superml so i have to make a symbolic link in the videos folder ? [18:16] either that or mount within the videos folder [18:17] superml can mythbuntu use more than one separated folder as video source folder ? [18:17] yup [18:17] just mount several of them below the videos folder [18:17] or at least symlink to several inside the videos folder [18:18] superml but i have to rescan folder every time i want to view new files ? [18:18] there is a setting to not do that [18:18] in mythvideo settings [18:20] superml in which part of the mythbuntu control center ? [18:21] it's in mythvideo settings outside of mcc [18:21] but in mythtv [18:23] superml another question pls i have a separated hard disk ext3 format wich i get from another linux machine and i mounted physically on the mythbuntu machine but i cannot write on it i can only read [18:24] are you keeping it there permanently ? [18:24] or just temp. [18:24] superml yes permanently [18:24] probably just need to chown it [18:24] to your user [18:25] superml ubuntu ask me for password every time i want to access to that drive [18:25] how do i do it automaticly ? [18:25] add it to your fstab [18:25] so that it mounts at boot [18:25] /etc/fstab [18:26] superml ok thaks man you are an angel :) [18:27] np [19:18] Hi. Could someone please help me with an audio problem I'm having? Thanks. [19:19] well [19:19] no? [19:54] Hey laga, thanks for committing a fix for the mythlib-perl issue in trunk! === croppa_ is now known as croppa [20:39] hey everyone [20:41] im kinda stuck in the middle of installing mythtv on mythubuntu [20:41] im stuck on the capture card setup screen [20:41] and i have a skystar2 dvb-s card can someone please help me? [20:55] anyone else having trouble with the US weekly build mirror? [20:57] I'm getting 403 forbidden on the web address [21:09] So, 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? [21:42] Iolaus, try again [21:42] i just manually resynced it [21:57] helllo [21:58] pls how can i increase the mplayer buffer when reading media from network [22:04] evenin' folks [22:06] superm1: I still seem to be getting 403 permission denied [22:07] when trying to access this: http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu [22:07] Iolaus, you can't browse it [22:07] only apt can [22:07] ah [22:07] let me try apt again [22:08] sweet, looks better now :) [22:08] howdie folks [22:08] my mythbuntu box rocks [22:08] figured I'd give some poisitive feedback instead of asking a question haha [22:09] thanks savageone1 :) [22:13] I second that :) [22:14] It'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. [22:16] which remain me... [22:17] what's a good hardware that's very well supported on Linux for digital TV (Freeview in UK)? [22:17] Ideally a dual tuner if possible [22:18] I 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. [22:22] Anyone using a "Homebrew Serial Receiver" for lirc with mythbuntu? [22:34] Is anyone using a sat for Mythbuntu as opposed to over-the-air digital TV? [22:34] am wondering what's a good sat card with a Common Interface (for card) to get? [22:52] Is it easier to install Mythbuntu then the ubuntu-desktop package or to install the regular Ubuntu and Install Mythbuntu on top of that? [23:03] Hey 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/d174df2e8 [23:04] The front-end is actually running on the same server as the back-end [23:04] anyone here good with nfs shares? [23:07] Iolaus, check the backend log [23:07] is it actually running? [23:08] I'm not seeing anything unusual in the backend log and the process list seems to indicate the backend it up and running fine [23:10] here's what I've got from the backend log: http://pastebin.com/m45f15915 [23:11] check what ports its listening on [23:11] with netstat then [23:11] k [23:12] hmm... should I be seeing mythtv in the netstat list? [23:13] I'm seeing mysqld but not myth [23:15] if you have it bound to the public interface, yes you should be seeing it [23:15] are 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 answer [23:15] superm1, is there any way it could have gotten mis-bound during the upgrade to trunk? [23:16] everything was working well before the upgrade [23:16] from an old trunk to a new trunk? [23:16] or from fixes to trunk? [23:16] toorima, not that i'm aware [23:16] fixes to new trunk [23:18] Iolaus, the way that was configured might have changed, but i dont use trunk myself [23:18] so i'm not positive [23:18] i use fixes myself still :) [23:18] hmm.. can you tell me how to check which interface myth is bound to? [23:19] during 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] sudo netstat -antp | grep myth [23:19] should tell you [23:19] that is for mysql binding [23:20] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6544 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6148/mythbackend [23:20] that's a different port then normal [23:20] did that change in trunk perhaps? [23:20] its normally 6543 i thought [23:21] I think trunk said something about 6544 being the status port [23:21] it was still set to 6543 for the master server port [23:21] The lack of the 6543 port must be the issue though, I wonder what the deal is [23:22] well yours there isn't listening on 6543, so that's gotta be related [23:24] strange, you'd think mythbackend log would be yelling if there was a problem [23:32] 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 other [23:35] john__, you need to enable the mysql service in MCC [23:35] on the master backend [23:37] do i have to restart the mythbuntu box then? [23:37] i used the mcc panel to enable it [23:37] yes [23:43] john@john-feisty:~$ ping 192.168.1.10 [23:43] PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10) 56(84) bytes of data.

[23:44] interweb? [23:44] internet [23:44] yes [23:44] plus both boxes can ping my router [23:44] does your backend get the ip via dhcp?

[23:48] And what sort of router do you have? [23:48] yes [23:48] a linksys wrt54g [23:49] I'd be blaming that atm.. but i can't see why [23:49] so both myth boxes can ping (example) google.com.. [23:49] can they ping non myth boxes? [23:49] and they can't ping each other tho? [23:50] john__, can you powercycle the router [23:50] did that [23:50] is one of the computers wireless? [23:51] yes the wife's windoze is wireless and i can ping the windoz box from both pc's [23:51] sill question, you are _certain_ that the myth boxes are holding the ip you think they are?
