rhpot1991john__: I do videos across an nfs share for mythvideo00:32
john__rhpot1991 how did u do it? I have gutsy box with nfs server runnning i mounted the folder in fstab on the mythtv box i changed the location in mythtv on the frontend but yet when i go to media library-watch videos nothing shows up01:17
alexvdjohn_ did you use video manager and scan for videos01:24
alexvdyou have to do that first01:24
john__yes and nothing shows up01:24
john__if i go back to the desktop and use thunar file manager and browse to /mnt/movies i can c all the videos01:25
alexvdjohn: did you check permissions01:25
john__so i know the nfs share is working01:25
john__ley me vnc into the myth box01:26
alexvdjohn_ I had this issue for a long time.01:26
john__owner is john with read and write access01:27
alexvdyou double checked the location in the setup01:27
john__yes in mythtv front-end under setup01:27
alexvdI had issue for longtime where i didnt put the same nfs mount point01:28
john__i have the mnt point at this /mnt/movies01:28
john__mythtv i changed it to /mnt/movies01:28
john__should i change the group to mythtv?01:29
alexvdi am not an expert01:29
alexvdmythtv-users on freenode is a lot busier01:29
alexvdyou could verify with someone else01:30
john__yeah been there for 3 days no one suggested any info01:30
alexvdreally?  Did you ask Justinh: directly01:31
john__no but i will01:31
alexvdhe is on right now01:31
alexvddoes anyone know if you need to install the samba client for mythbuntu if you want to permanently mount a windows xp fileshare?01:40
alexvdthe share is setup in windoze and I get to it via places with no issues.  However I want to mount it to a new folder /media/videos01:42
rhpot1991john__: still here?02:27
john__ytes02:29
rhpot1991have you verified you can read and write from the folder outside of mythtv?02:30
john__let me try that02:30
john__yes i can read and write to that folder02:32
nettow0822_hey guys02:32
john__now it works02:36
john__i don't know why or how...lol02:37
rhpot1991I have problems where my 2nd backend loses the nfs share and I need to go in and mount it by hand randomly02:38
john__all i did was move a file from the mythtv box to the nfs share02:42
rhpot1991well as long as it works02:42
john__we'll c if it's still working tomorrow yet.. lol02:43

slestakquestion.  i only have 2 slots in my media pc.  both are occupied (radeon 9600 w dvi out) and gigabit nic.  i need to pull one for my hd tuner card.03:26
slestakif youhad to choose onboard video or 100M nic, which would you choose.03:27
slestaki think keep the video card w dvi and use the slower nic03:27
slestakor is regular rgb out sufficient for myth use?03:27
Tariunless you're doing hardcore streaming, you don't really need gigabit03:29
slestakwhich im not03:29
slestakno streaming03:29
slestakim having some trouble getting dvi to hdmi to be consistent03:30
slestakdoes anyone use rgb out for their lcd tv?03:30
rhpot1991does your network even support gigabit?03:30
slestakyes, i have a gig switch and a gig nic in my nas03:30
Tariwhat do you mean by RGB?03:31
slestaki keep my movies on the smb share of the nas.03:31
slestakregular vga cable, on the tv its labeled rgb03:31
rhpot1991tough choice, what is the onboard video?03:31
slestaki need to boot machine and see.  i havent used onboard video since i bought the machine in 0403:32
slestakits a bookshelf size dell, should be a good media pc.  p4, 3Ghz03:32
slestaki may just need to try both.03:33
slestakwell, thx for the onput.  guess i will just have to try thm all.03:34
TariI'd still go with taking out the NIC03:35
TariI can almost stream a raw MPEG-2 stream over my 802.11b, which is at best 10 mbps03:35
slestaki think so too.  having this thing with 2 nics always confuses Network Manager in Ubuntu03:35
slestakok, I'll ditch the nic03:35
slestakthis card has svideo out too.  that may be good enough for "tv" use03:36
slestakok, time to put it all back together.  thx03:37

EntityAnomlyhello anybody available to help me with a problem I'm having?04:17
rhpot1991!ask04:19
ubotuPlease don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)04:19
rhpot1991not sure who is here though04:19
EntityAnomlyI have a mythbuntu box that I have had up and running for a few months, now it boots up and when it loads the frontend it gives the error "Myth could not connect to the database"04:20
EntityAnomlyi'm newer to linux and i'm not sure what to check04:21
EntityAnomlyany ideas?04:21
Aquaevenin' folks04:21
superm1EntityAnomly, rm ~/.mythtv -rf and try again04:21
Aquaanyone running a homebrew serial reciever with lirc?04:22
EntityAnomlysuperm1, ran the command, the system took it without error, but it didn't seem to do anything04:25
superm1EntityAnomly, did you end up chaning passwords and such?04:26
superm1or what brought this on04:26
EntityAnomlymy son flipped the surge protector off when it was up and running04:26
AquaEntityAnomly did he shut the power off on the backend?04:31
rhpot1991EntityAnomly: that command wont report anything, just deletes04:33
EntityAnomlythe backend and frontend are all on the same machine04:34
EntityAnomlybasically seems like the mysql server is not running04:34
rhpot1991mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg04:35
rhpot1991and see if it connects04:35
rhpot1991gonna need your password04:35
EntityAnomlythat generates Error 2002 (HY000) Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)04:44
rhpot1991try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status04:46
EntityAnomlyit said that *MySQL is stopped04:50
EntityAnomlybut I did a mysql start and it stated that the partition that mysql is running off of is too full04:50
EntityAnomlyso i'm going to go see if i can clear some stuff off and try to start it again04:51
rhpot1991check for file space04:52
EntityAnomlyyea it looks like the hard drive filled up so it wouldn't start the mysql server04:58
EntityAnomlyi deleted some stuff and then the mysql server started04:59
EntityAnomlythanks for the help!04:59
rhpot1991no problem05:00
Aquaanyone ever seen this error.... I got it after running a mythfilldatabase.... ICE default IO error handler doing an exit()08:13
superm1keescook, if you get a moment some time: i need a sponsor on a lirc patch: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3300/11:34
cosmic_Hi @ aLL12:16
cosmic_I dont understand if i really need a Manager like Gnome KDE or FLuxbox , for running Myth-Frontend , is there a possibility to start it from Console where only an Xserver is installed ?????12:18
directhexcosmic_, it is possible, yes12:49
directhexcosmic_, you will have issues with focus if you launch any apps - e.g. when playing videos with anything but the Internal player12:49
cosmic_could you explain the last sentence in a different way please , cause my english issent the best12:50
directhexif you launch any applications inside mythfrontend - such as mplayer, or a game, or something, then there will be problems12:58
directhexyour input will go to the wrong app12:58
cosmic_mplayer-console too ?13:01
cosmic_wich window / Desktop Managaer would you prefer ? fluxbox ?13:02
directhexubuntu uses openbox as its minimal wm for myth13:05
savage1hey guys13:17
savage1I'm not seeing any support in here for diskless network booting etc13:17
savage1i thought that was sort of a staple for mythtv, I had it w/ knoppmyth13:18
savage1although my mythbuntu machine is working much much better then knoppmyth, i would love to do diskless network booting for my frontends13:18
Davieysavage1: watch this space14:28
AquahallicMornin' folks15:48
AquahallicI did an install of mythbuntu.... I've noticed that every so often when I go to switch screens (exit live tv or something) Xorg goes to 99.5% cpu usage15:49
Aquahallicanyone seen this?15:49
Aquahallicusing Nvidia-legacy drivers btw15:51
AquahallicIt seems like I've read that you don't want to use fb with nvidia15:51
Aquahallicis this true?15:51
lime4x4Daviey u here?17:36
Davieylime4x4: no17:38
Davieywell yes17:38
lime4x4lol17:38
lime4x4this is john from a few nights back with the odd network problem17:39
lime4x4i fixed the issue17:39
Davieyahh17:40
lime4x4my motherboard has 2 built in nvidia nics 10/100/100017:40
DavieyWow, not many mobo's have two onboard17:41
Davieyso the routing was set up for the wrong nic?17:41
lime4x4i never used the second nvidia nic and i had the bridge bound to the first nic17:41
Davieyheh17:41
lime4x4once i enabled the second nic it all worked17:41
DavieyI'd never have spotted that!17:41
lime4x4but i actually have to have the second nic tied into my network or my gutsy box won't c the mythtv box17:42
lime4x4which is very odd since i can c the rest of my network on the first nic17:42
lime4x4but i need the second nic to talk with the mythtv box17:43
lime4x4makes no sense at all17:43
lime4x4sp now even the nfs shares are working properly17:44
Davieythats great news17:50
lime4x4like i said it's just weird why the gutsy box will only talk to the mythtv box thru the second nic17:59
lime4x4but i ain't about o start messing with it...lol17:59
IolausHey guys, I think I'm running into this problem http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2008-January/059351.html with my mythbuntu trunk install19:17
Iolausexcept I'm getting it when trying to start the frontend19:17
Iolaussince I didn't compile but installed from the mythbuntu trunk packages19:17
Iolausis there a simple way to fix the problem?19:18
superm1something like that: probably not..19:50
keescooksuperm1: hm, the pastebin seems to have mangled the lirc patch -- can you put it up somewhere else?19:59
superm1keescook, sure19:59
superm1actually i've got it on a bzr branch too20:00
keescookcool.  back in a bit...20:00

T045Thi (: Quick question: is it possible (and feasible) to run two frontends on different screens in mythbuntu?21:36
T045Tit would be especially cool if one could "suspend" each one individually (with the backend running on the same machine, I don't have high hopes for that though)21:37
gclericYes...21:39
gclericJust to be clear... one backend, and two frontends.21:39
T045Tyup... all on one machine21:40
T045TI know I'd probably have to create a second user for the second instance21:40
gclericThen the answer is no.21:41
T045Twhy's that?21:41
gclericif you where talking 3 machines...yes...21:42
T045Tokay, what would the problem be? if it's the ability to "suspend" each one individually it's not a big problem21:43
gclericlets back up. why are you trying to do this...21:44
T045TI'm planning on building an HTPC with a 7" touch screen built into the case, and since the resolution of the touchscreen and my TV are never going to be even close, just cloning one to the other would not make much sense21:45
T045Tso I (being entirely new to mythtv and knowing what little I do from some massive googling) thought it would make more sense to have each run an instance of mythfrontend21:47
T045TI've seen some howtos and even a video, but none of them used mythbuntu21:47
gclericTo be honest.  I'm not sure that a touch screen under mythtv is supported...yet...21:47
gclericYou might be better off building a HTPC with just TV/Remote control.   Less headaches....21:49
T045TI'm pretty sure touchscreens are supported, at least the touchscreen "support" in .20 is apparently much improved21:50
T045Tthe hardware should work fine, too, since I was planning to use the same case that TVEase's "Seven" used... but you're right, it would save a lot of time and effort to stay with just a remote21:51
gclericAgain to be honest I've not delved  into touch screens for mythtv.   I'm running a Zalman HD160.21:52
gclerichttp://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.php/pName/zalman-hd160-htpc-enclosure-black/cName/htpc-cases21:52
T045TI've looked at that one (and a similar one from OrigenAE), too. They are nice cases, but my dad (this, if it ever happens, is going to be a "family htpc") seems to really like the idea of having that touchscreen... (http://www.origenae.com/en/htpc_x15e.htm <- that's the case I'm looking at)21:54
T045T... so much that it's basically "find a perfect solution with the touchscreen" or no HTPC -.-*21:59
gclericI find the idea of a touch screen neat but not really practical.22:02
gclericIf you think of it...you are 9 times out of 10 sitting down in front of a TV.  Not standing in front of a HTPC.  So a remote and a TV screen will win.22:03
T045Ttrue, but there are a couple of scenarios where I wouldn't switch on the TV: Listening to music or scheduling a recording for instance22:15
T045Tanyway, thanks for your advice, I'll consider dropping the touchscreen, but I don't think I'll be able to get that through (;22:22
