[00:08] +d = real name ban? [00:09] i use the cs script and just did a kicknameban [00:09] heh [00:10] * Daviey can't have the cs script.. irssi :( [00:10] ah [00:32] john__: I do videos across an nfs share for mythvideo [01:17] 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 up [01:24] john_ did you use video manager and scan for videos [01:24] you have to do that first [01:24] yes and nothing shows up [01:25] if i go back to the desktop and use thunar file manager and browse to /mnt/movies i can c all the videos [01:25] john: did you check permissions [01:25] so i know the nfs share is working [01:26] ley me vnc into the myth box [01:26] john_ I had this issue for a long time. [01:27] owner is john with read and write access [01:27] you double checked the location in the setup [01:27] yes in mythtv front-end under setup [01:28] I had issue for longtime where i didnt put the same nfs mount point [01:28] i have the mnt point at this /mnt/movies [01:28] mythtv i changed it to /mnt/movies [01:29] should i change the group to mythtv? [01:29] i am not an expert [01:29] mythtv-users on freenode is a lot busier [01:30] you could verify with someone else [01:30] yeah been there for 3 days no one suggested any info [01:31] really? Did you ask Justinh: directly [01:31] no but i will [01:31] he is on right now [01:40] does anyone know if you need to install the samba client for mythbuntu if you want to permanently mount a windows xp fileshare? [01:42] the 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/videos [02:27] john__: still here? [02:29] ytes [02:30] have you verified you can read and write from the folder outside of mythtv? [02:30] let me try that [02:32] yes i can read and write to that folder [02:32] hey guys [02:36] now it works [02:37] i don't know why or how...lol [02:38] I have problems where my 2nd backend loses the nfs share and I need to go in and mount it by hand randomly [02:42] all i did was move a file from the mythtv box to the nfs share [02:42] well as long as it works [02:43] we'll c if it's still working tomorrow yet.. lol === Egghead is now known as egghead2 [03:26] question. 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. [03:27] if youhad to choose onboard video or 100M nic, which would you choose. [03:27] i think keep the video card w dvi and use the slower nic [03:27] or is regular rgb out sufficient for myth use? [03:29] unless you're doing hardcore streaming, you don't really need gigabit [03:29] which im not [03:29] no streaming [03:30] im having some trouble getting dvi to hdmi to be consistent [03:30] does anyone use rgb out for their lcd tv? [03:30] does your network even support gigabit? [03:30] yes, i have a gig switch and a gig nic in my nas [03:31] what do you mean by RGB? [03:31] i keep my movies on the smb share of the nas. [03:31] regular vga cable, on the tv its labeled rgb [03:31] tough choice, what is the onboard video? [03:32] i need to boot machine and see. i havent used onboard video since i bought the machine in 04 [03:32] its a bookshelf size dell, should be a good media pc. p4, 3Ghz [03:33] i may just need to try both. [03:34] well, thx for the onput. guess i will just have to try thm all. [03:35] I'd still go with taking out the NIC [03:35] I can almost stream a raw MPEG-2 stream over my 802.11b, which is at best 10 mbps [03:35] i think so too. having this thing with 2 nics always confuses Network Manager in Ubuntu [03:35] ok, I'll ditch the nic [03:36] this card has svideo out too. that may be good enough for "tv" use [03:37] ok, time to put it all back together. thx === slestak is now known as slestak|away [04:17] hello anybody available to help me with a problem I'm having? [04:19] !ask [04:19] Please 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] not sure who is here though [04:20] I 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" [04:21] i'm newer to linux and i'm not sure what to check [04:21] any ideas? [04:21] evenin' folks [04:21] EntityAnomly, rm ~/.mythtv -rf and try again [04:22] anyone running a homebrew serial reciever with lirc? [04:25] superm1, ran the command, the system took it without error, but it didn't seem to do anything [04:26] EntityAnomly, did you end up chaning passwords and such? [04:26] or what brought this on [04:26] my son flipped the surge protector off when it was up and running [04:31] EntityAnomly did he shut the power off on the backend? [04:33] EntityAnomly: that command wont report anything, just deletes [04:34] the backend and frontend are all on the same machine [04:34] basically seems like the mysql server is not running [04:35] mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg [04:35] and see if it connects [04:35] gonna need your password [04:44] that generates Error 2002 (HY000) Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [04:46] try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status [04:50] it said that *MySQL is stopped [04:50] but I did a mysql start and it stated that the partition that mysql is running off of is too full [04:51] so i'm going to go see if i can clear some stuff off and try to start it again [04:52] check for file space [04:58] yea it looks like the hard drive filled up so it wouldn't start the mysql server [04:59] i deleted some stuff and then the mysql server started [04:59] thanks for the help! [05:00] no problem [08:13] anyone ever seen this error.... I got it after running a mythfilldatabase.... ICE default IO error handler doing an exit() [11:34] keescook, if you get a moment some time: i need a sponsor on a lirc patch: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3300/ [12:16] Hi @ aLL [12:18] 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 ????? [12:49] cosmic_, it is possible, yes [12:49] cosmic_, you will have issues with focus if you launch any apps - e.g. when playing videos with anything but the Internal player [12:50] could you explain the last sentence in a different way please , cause my english issent the best [12:58] if you launch any applications inside mythfrontend - such as mplayer, or a game, or something, then there will be problems [12:58] your input will go to the wrong app [13:01] mplayer-console too ? [13:02] wich window / Desktop Managaer would you prefer ? fluxbox ? [13:05] ubuntu uses openbox as its minimal wm for myth [13:17] hey guys [13:17] I'm not seeing any support in here for diskless network booting etc [13:18] i thought that was sort of a staple for mythtv, I had it w/ knoppmyth [13:18] although my mythbuntu machine is working much much better then knoppmyth, i would love to do diskless network booting for my frontends [14:28] savage1: watch this space [15:48] Mornin' folks [15:49] I 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 usage [15:49] anyone seen this? [15:51] using Nvidia-legacy drivers btw [15:51] It seems like I've read that you don't want to use fb with nvidia [15:51] is this true? [17:36] Daviey u here? [17:38] lime4x4: no [17:38] well yes [17:38] lol [17:39] this is john from a few nights back with the odd network problem [17:39] i fixed the issue [17:40] ahh [17:40] my motherboard has 2 built in nvidia nics 10/100/1000 [17:41] Wow, not many mobo's have two onboard [17:41] so the routing was set up for the wrong nic? [17:41] i never used the second nvidia nic and i had the bridge bound to the first nic [17:41] heh [17:41] once i enabled the second nic it all worked [17:41] I'd never have spotted that! [17:42] but i actually have to have the second nic tied into my network or my gutsy box won't c the mythtv box [17:42] which is very odd since i can c the rest of my network on the first nic [17:43] but i need the second nic to talk with the mythtv box [17:43] makes no sense at all [17:44] sp now even the nfs shares are working properly [17:50] thats great news [17:59] like i said it's just weird why the gutsy box will only talk to the mythtv box thru the second nic [17:59] but i ain't about o start messing with it...lol [19:17] Hey guys, I think I'm running into this problem http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2008-January/059351.html with my mythbuntu trunk install [19:17] except I'm getting it when trying to start the frontend [19:17] since I didn't compile but installed from the mythbuntu trunk packages [19:18] is there a simple way to fix the problem? [19:50] something like that: probably not.. [19:59] superm1: hm, the pastebin seems to have mangled the lirc patch -- can you put it up somewhere else? [19:59] keescook, sure [20:00] actually i've got it on a bzr branch too [20:00] cool. back in a bit... [20:00] bzr+ssh://superm1@bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Emythbuntu/lirc/ubuntu/ [20:01] or better yet here if you want to see the code.lp.net url: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/lirc/ubuntu [21:36] hi (: Quick question: is it possible (and feasible) to run two frontends on different screens in mythbuntu? [21:37] it 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) [21:39] Yes... [21:39] Just to be clear... one backend, and two frontends. [21:40] yup... all on one machine [21:40] I know I'd probably have to create a second user for the second instance [21:41] Then the answer is no. [21:41] why's that? [21:42] if you where talking 3 machines...yes... [21:43] okay, what would the problem be? if it's the ability to "suspend" each one individually it's not a big problem [21:44] lets back up. why are you trying to do this... [21:45] I'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 sense [21:47] so 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 mythfrontend [21:47] I've seen some howtos and even a video, but none of them used mythbuntu [21:47] To be honest. I'm not sure that a touch screen under mythtv is supported...yet... [21:49] You might be better off building a HTPC with just TV/Remote control. Less headaches.... [21:50] I'm pretty sure touchscreens are supported, at least the touchscreen "support" in .20 is apparently much improved [21:51] the 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 remote [21:52] Again to be honest I've not delved into touch screens for mythtv. I'm running a Zalman HD160. [21:52] http://www.pcalchemy.com/product_info.php/pName/zalman-hd160-htpc-enclosure-black/cName/htpc-cases [21:54] I'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) [21:59] ... so much that it's basically "find a perfect solution with the touchscreen" or no HTPC -.-* [22:02] I find the idea of a touch screen neat but not really practical. [22:03] If 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. [22:15] true, but there are a couple of scenarios where I wouldn't switch on the TV: Listening to music or scheduling a recording for instance [22:22] anyway, thanks for your advice, I'll consider dropping the touchscreen, but I don't think I'll be able to get that through (;
