[02:34] or is it better to go mythbuntu install and add the desktop? [02:36] I cant get my digital audio to work and I am thinking about reinstalling to get benefit of all the auto sensing .... is there a way around this solution? [02:36] i have sigmatel digital audio on my intel mobo and just got the cable, plugged in and nothin...;(((( [02:46] hello? [02:46] can someone help me [02:54] alsa says i have to install alsa 1.0.15rc3 to get my mobo to work....how do I do that...its not in synaptic and I cant find it with apt-get either === Sphagnum is now known as Tari [02:54] google it [02:54] prolly on some /current/ ftp server [03:04] hello anyone know why my card is collecting video but not sound.. [03:04] well it processes sound but sends it straight out of my sound card [03:04] no way to record it.. [03:04] :-\ [03:26] hello [03:27] I'm running mythbuntu 7.10 and I just picked up a irblaster, I want to control my dishnetwork box. [03:27] Is the driver in the control panel? [03:31] i dunno [03:31] i know mythdora has support for an IR blaster [03:33] that's not very handy for me, I've got Mythbuntu installed. [03:45] am_dragon, not in the gutsy version in the panel no [03:45] it was just added to the hardy package a week or two ago === superm1_ is now known as superm1 [03:48] hmm [03:49] there is a gutsy lirc howto following that i reconfigured lirc as homebrew... [03:49] testing now [04:27] i havwe a relativley new install that was added to an existing gutsy machine. i just deleted 5-6 small recordings (<1 gig total) and abt the same time a new recording was starting [04:27] the frontend will no tleave the Delete Recroding screen [04:28] it still reports 15% disk used, but lsof only shows 21 mpg's open on the system, the new one being created (increasing in size) and the last one being deleted (which is not changing size. [04:28] i hav ethe slow delete option selected, and ext3 on a sata disk [04:30] you have a keyboard attached or can you ssh into the system? [04:30] im ssh'd in from my laptop [04:30] so i do have a shell [04:30] just to a ps -A and kill the frontend [04:30] the frontend doesn't affect recording [04:30] ahh [04:30] so killing it won't hurt your recording process [04:31] ls [04:31] ps -A, i have not seen, what does -A tell it? [04:31] forces it to show all processes not matter the user [04:31] not = no [04:32] will be a long list, but the front end should be near the end [04:32] well I can grep it for myth [04:32] should be called mythfronend.re [04:32] should be called mythfrontend.re [04:32] that too :) [04:33] not sure on the deleted file. it may not actually delete til you're current recording is done [04:33] oh, ok, because when i see the Previously recorded list, they are all still there [04:34] not sure [04:34] poor choice haveing ext3, i guess you cannot convert it after the fact [04:35] if you have an external usb drive or a network share, can copy the stuff there, remake the partition and move them back [04:35] long as the file paths don't change, should be fine [04:35] kinda of chancy with / [04:36] i may buy a larger disk, and move it with a livecd, so / is not mounted [04:37] well, thx for the help [04:37] sure [04:37] oh... [04:37] you don't want to make the installation of the OS partition xfs [04:37] just where you put the recordings [04:38] should stay ext3 [04:38] er... / should stay ext3 [05:00] javatexan: you can apt-get install mythbuntu-control-centre [05:00] notice the spelling [05:09] with my radeon 9600 i cannot get my avi's to play fullscreen in myth or at the desktop [05:18] man mplayer [05:18] oops === Sphagnum is now known as Tari|zzz [06:21] I bought a Cabled RS232 IR Receiver and I am trying to set it up inthe mythbuntu control center. I cant find the device listed...what should I do now? [06:22] I bought it from http://www.irblaster.info [06:22] as it was recommended by mythtv [06:37] I bought a Cabled RS232 IR Receiver and I am trying to set it up inthe mythbuntu control center. I cant find the device listed...what should I do now? I bought it from http://www.irblaster.info [06:41] I actually have a logitech harmony remote, is this what I am supposed to choose? [15:25] does anyone know how to get an irblaster working in Gutsy? [15:26] I tried to remove the preinstalled lirc and compile the lirc-0.8.3pre1 but I'm still getting no signal from the irblaster. [16:12] Superm1 I've seen a few of your post about lirc in the Ubuntu forums. I'm trying to get an IRblaster working in Gutsy. Is there any hope? [16:12] am_dragon, yes there should be [16:12] its just a wii bit difficult to do at this point [16:12] and if you are using a serial blaster, there are some known issues with the [16:12] them [16:12] yes serial [16:13] I tried to remove lirc, and compile lirc-0.8.3pre1 from source. [16:14] well there was a person on the forums that had luck using lircd from the 0.8.3 package [16:14] (the one in hardy) [16:14] because that's apparently where the bug sits [16:14] can I use a hardy package on gutsy? [16:15] well you can try.. [16:15] i'll warn you though [16:15] there are lots of *massive* changes to how transmitters are handled [16:15] mcc will break on gutsy [16:15] (you'd need hardy's mcc and the new mythbuntu-common) [16:17] so how stable is this going to be if I upgrade? [16:17] "shouldn't be too bad" is good enough for me. [16:18] well i use 0.8.3 on my gutsy box, but that is because i am developing changes for hardy on it [16:18] so i've got a weird mix on mine [16:19] ok so where/how do I get these packages? [16:20] packages.ubuntu.com should suffice [16:20] the way i'm using 0.8.3 i've rebuilt it for gutsy locally [16:20] so i dont run into library problems [16:21] but you can try to at least see if you can get away without doing that [16:22] I did compile lirc, but it's not working at all... I'm getting "irsend: could not connec to socket" [16:23] how did you compile it? [16:23] from the source package? [16:23] yes from lirc.org [16:23] * superm1 shrugs [16:23] we have a set of patches above whats on lirc.org [16:23] you should grab the "dsc, diff.gz and orig.tar.gz" from packages.ubuntu.com [16:23] and then build that using debuild [16:32] ok sorry, I"ve got the 3 files and installed debuild... I'm looking at the man page but i'm not sure what to do next. [16:33] okay next [16:33] dpkg-source -x *dsc [16:33] that will extract the source package [16:33] and then cd into the extracted directory [16:33] and run debuild [16:33] it may complain about missing deps [16:33] if so [16:33] apt-get build-dep lirc [16:38] um... [16:39] superman1: secret key not available [16:39] literally [16:39] superm1 actually. [16:39] on which command? [16:40] I did the debuild and got to debsigh:gpgerror occured [16:40] try with -us -uc [16:41] and if that doesn't work: [16:41] debuild -i -us -uc -b [16:41] well I least I know you know what you are talking about. :) [16:41] and thanks for the help. [16:42] that did something, no errors. [16:42] cool :) [16:42] np [16:42] should I reboot or just /etc/init.d/lirc start? [16:43] well that builds the deb [16:43] once its built you'd have to install it (if you want to go that route) [16:43] ah so I stil have to instal [16:43] ok [16:43] but [16:43] if you want to just grab the lircd binary [16:43] its somewhere in the debian/ directory [16:51] ok debian/lirc/usr/sbin/lircd [16:52] replace the one in /usr/local/sbin? [16:54] no... [16:54] get rid of the /usr/local/sbin stuff [16:54] replace the one in /usr/sbin [16:54] yeah, I notice ubuntu does that, drops the local [16:55] the local ones do take priority, but you will find its harder to debug problems [16:55] when you have stuff in /usr/local [16:55] there are probably other items in there in include bin lib [16:55] that you will want to clean up too [16:56] ok i've got the lircd in /usr/sbin [16:58] make sure to rm the stuff in /usr/local (if you haven't) [16:58] and then you should be able to restart lircd with the init script [17:06] the led on the irblaster is flashing but nothing happens... [17:06] going to check with my camera see if the ir is trasmitting. [17:19] I don't think it's transmitting ir. [17:20] I see the led flash but even with my digital camera, it's only the led. [17:21] The next release of mythbuntu, will that be April as Ubuntu 8.04 gets released? [17:22] sebrock: will be after offical ubuntu - but shortly. Don't think we have picked a date yet [17:24] alright [17:25] yep [17:29] so it looks like when I complied lirc from lirc.org, it put everything in /usr/local/... [17:34] I'm really making a mess of things now. [17:34] my mythbuntu control center is gone... [17:34] yeah if you removed lirc, it gets removed too [17:36] so what's the next step? [17:37] well you can reinstall mcc from apt [17:37] but regarding the transmitter, that was all the person with the troubles had to doo [17:37] *do [17:37] see the forums for that thread [17:37] i dont remember which one it is off hand [17:37] superm1: heard alot about you, glad I fixed my issue before now [17:37] I was hoping you could help, but I somehow fixed the issue [17:37] :) [17:37] good :) [17:38] i've been afk the last week or so [17:38] ah [17:38] I've got that thread right here. I don't think I compiled the lirc source correctly and it installed everything in /usr/local. [17:39] well if you created that deb, that would install it into /usr [17:39] if you installed that deb [17:39] if you made it from the source on lirc.org it goes in /usr/local [17:42] When I find a imdb number for movie of mine, none of the info shows up(no poster, no review) [17:44] Do I have to do something special to make it work? === Tari|zzz is now known as Tari [18:05] ok so I stopped lircd removed all the /usr/local stuff rebooted installed via the deb's we made before. copied lircd to /usr/sbin [18:05] started lirc again and nothing. [18:05] same results. [18:19] superm1: dunno if you remember me, I was looking at the imon pad and the hex codes for it [18:19] anyway, got an issue with all remotes I try to use with lirc, every time I press a key on the remote it interrupts somehow. If I play music theres a hack, aswell as watching TV [18:20] this does not happen with a USB keyboard [18:20] so thats something with lirc [18:44] is there a way of changing a recordings category? e.g from Animation to Drama [18:45] man, I still cant get the remote to work with mythtv...I dont know what I am doing wrong. [18:46] I have in Mythbuntu Control Centre I have enable a remote on and Remote: Logitech/AST....Is that all I need? [18:47] good morning all! [18:47] ;) [18:49] I am guessing that the serial ir receiver is not set up..... [18:53] I would bet that is what it is....I have the ~/.lircrc there [18:55] well theres the problem...there is no lircd running...can i fix via myth_setup? [19:00] Well, thanks for the help superm1, I've gone over everything again, still no luck. [19:00] sorry :( [19:00] not sure what more i can mention [19:01] should lircd be running? [19:01] is there a way to make sure I've completely removed lirc (any of the problem files)? [19:01] javatexan, yeah [19:01] try to restart it [19:01] using /etc/init.d/lirc restart [19:01] am_dragon, check /usr/local manually [19:02] did that when we talked about it [19:02] it's clean. [19:02] that should be it [19:03] hey its running....how does it know that I have a Serial IR receiver? [19:03] or does it [19:03] /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [19:03] is what is used to tell it what it is [19:05] here is what I have so far in it http://pastebin.ca/852303 [19:06] um [19:06] you dont have any modules listed [19:06] add lirc_serial [19:06] to the modules list [19:06] that would be a problem...right? [19:06] yes [19:06] LOL [19:07] all i know is that I have a Serial IR receiver and a Logitech Harmony 670 [19:07] I set it up using Mythbuntu Control Centre [19:07] okay well [19:07] there is a lot more to it [19:07] for serial stuff [19:08] you are best off having it emulate a mceusb2 remote [19:08] okey dokey....where do i start [19:08] start out at the gutsy lirc wiki page [19:08] on help.ubuntu.com [19:08] how do I do that? [19:08] you will need to follow the stuff there for configuring a serial port for lirc [19:08] and then dpkg-reconfigure lirc [19:08] choose the mceusb2 remote [19:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Gutsy [19:08] but change the modules to lirc_serial [19:09] instead of lirc_mceusb2 [19:09] and then in your logitech software have it emulate the mceusb2 (or windows media center remote) [19:09] it may already do that, it has a specific setting for mythtv.....:) [19:10] well i dont know what remote they emulate when doing that [19:10] you'll need to find out [19:11] When you go into the Harmony software you my need to tell it you want to control a windows media center pc. [19:12] Harmony software doesn't ask what you want do be like it just asks what you want to control... There my even be a config for a Mythtv using Windows Medai center remote. [19:58] lircd is not starting with the computer....any ideas [19:59] I can restart it from command line...hmmmm [19:59] lirc is in /etc/init.d/ [20:00] it probably is failing when a program tries to connect [20:03] okay...I Disabled kernel serial support and I made the /etc/modprobe.d/lirc and added options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8....next I rebooted.....then I dpkg-reconfigure lirc...then rebooted to test and lirc did not start with machine [20:05] okay...that didnt work....i went to /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and it is empty...hmm.hmmm [20:06] sorry...wrong file typod [20:25] still no modules...Is the Logitech setting in dpkg-reconfigure lirc empty? [20:26] so its setting the driver, but no modules...wow [20:30] anyone know the default user name and password for the mythbuntu install cd terminal? [20:30] javatexan, don't pick that settings [20:30] that will load a different config [20:30] than you need [20:32] okay....I called logitech...and it looks like for mythtv the remote can only send Hauppauge PVR150 commands, so I have to pick it [20:33] so in dpkg-reconfigure lirc I should be able to choose the Hauppauge...right? [20:33] yeah [20:33] so the Hauppague TV card it is [20:34] whats a Hauppauge DVB? [20:34] different card [20:35] okay thats done and lirc is reset.....how does lirc now find the serial receiver? [20:36] tell it to load the lirc_serial module [20:36] in /etc/modprobe.d/lirc right? [20:37] no [20:37] /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [20:39] that line in hardware.conf now reads MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c lirc_serial" [20:40] no [20:40] you want it to just read lirc_serial [20:40] doh [20:40] okay [20:41] when I set hauppauge it added those others [20:42] so /etc/modprobe.d/lirc needs: #COM1 equivalent, /dev/ttyS0 [20:42] options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8 right? [20:42] that line in hardware.conf now reads MODULES="lirc_serial" [20:43] that sounds right [20:43] should I reboot and give it a try? [20:44] kde4 does not like mythtv-frontend [20:45] the damnable panel prevents fullscreen [20:45] whoever is responsible for this panel, needs a talk to [20:45] you can try devilspie [20:45] to force it [20:45] but usually that is caused by compiz [20:52] hmmm [21:02] looking for help installing mythbunut... having issues with the partition step. It doesn't provide the window and I can't get the terminal up to apt-get gparted any recommendations? [21:34] do I have to set something up in FE to know there is now a remote? [21:36] yes [21:36] you have to run mythbuntu-lirc-generator [21:38] not found [21:38] well you need to reinstall it if you removed it [21:38] when you removed lirc [21:38] the command might actually be [21:38] mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [21:38] its one of those two [21:39] /usr/share/doc/mythbuntu-lirc-generator? [21:39] not in path? [21:39] mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [21:39] its in your path [21:42] shall I restart and give it a try? [21:42] do I dare.... :D [21:50] superm1: okay....irw works!!!!! when I restart...lircd still doesnt start, so I have to sudo after login, so that is prolly why mythtv is not getting the commands [21:50] but it does start properly from the "init" script? [21:50] like when you issue the restart command [21:50] lirc seems to [21:50] i cant see anything happening in mythtv though [21:51] well i'd suspect something in the lircrc of a client app [21:51] like myth [21:51] from ssh I put in sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart , and after that restart, I can irw and get the commands from the remote [21:52] after you do that try to restart mythfrontend [21:52] and see if lirc is still running [21:52] okay....hold on [21:53] wooooooooohoooooooo i restarted myth FE and the remote works.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:53] LMAO [21:53] now how do i get lirc to start at startup? [21:53] okay well you need to figure out why it wasn't coming up at startup [21:54] check out your logs [21:54] ex dmesg [21:54] /var/log/messages [21:54] /var/log/syslog [21:54] and see anything referencing lirc [21:55] mia@spacestation:~$ dmesg /var/log/messages | grep "lirc" [21:55] [ 61.807211] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [21:55] [ 62.305768] lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver [21:55] [ 62.305773] lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0 [21:55] i cant start mysql for unknown reasons. its not producing any errors to /var/log/mysql.log or mysql.err [21:55] any ideas?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [21:55] kmyth: are you sudo? [21:56] yes [21:56] kmyth, check that your drive isn't filled [21:56] drive is definitely not full [21:56] i lost power to the system before this [21:57] twice in a row, some crap is going on with my UPS [21:57] superm1: http://pastebin.ca/852505 [21:57] javatexan, nothing interesting there really. [21:57] thats what i thought too [21:58] anything about the serial port being used? [21:58] not necessarily lirc related [21:58] why else would mysql produce no error logs? [21:58] dont think so...I changed the file to disable kernel something or other [21:58] * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail] [21:58] sweet [21:59] maybe i should not have used xfs for my root FS [21:59] kmyth: mine did that too in the beginning [22:00] kmyth: It had to do with who made the folders and files, and I was logged in as my normal user and didn't have access to do things [22:00] so I fixed mine by reinstalling.....LOL [22:00] well my install was effing fine until 15 minutes ago [22:00] i really dont want to reinstall [22:03] i know what you mean....did you install anything after mythbuntu...it seems I had problems like that after I added the desktop and development tools [22:03] no but just the configuration i've gone through to get here [22:03] i guess i could backup ~ and /etc/ and BLEH [22:04] this is my first experience with xfs going haywire because of power loss [22:04] superm1 nothing about the serial port by itself either [22:05] do you have any stray stuff in /usr/local? [22:05] from a compile from source install non debian/ubuntu way [22:05] maybe lirc just isnt called at startup right now [22:06] how can I verify......when I setup i put no irc because I didnt have one at that point, so maybe???..... [22:07] all i have extra on the whole machine is g++, java 6, and something called galleon [22:08] http://pastebin.com/m776fd6e [22:08] superm1, can you take a lookie? [22:09] javatexan, did you change any of the startup scripts by hand? [22:09] not yet....shall I? [22:09] no [22:09] maybe if i clean /var/log/mysql dir [22:09] i'm just looking for anything that you have done here that wasn't in a deb [22:09] galleon installed itself to startup [22:09] kmyth, check the permissions on the directories [22:10] and also a fsck on the disk is probably a good idea [22:10] mysql:adm [22:10] javatexan, well you can try this [22:10] javatexan, update-rc.d lirc defaults [22:10] for the mysql bin log dir [22:10] kmyth, I bet super is right on the permissions [22:10] that will reset all init scripts [22:11] System startup links for /etc/init.d/lirc already exist. [22:11] do I need to remove and reinsert? [22:12] javatexan, if they are there already, then that probably isn't the cause [22:12] okay cool [22:12] can you try to start up in single user mode perhaps [22:12] and start it manually [22:12] and see if its running after that? [22:12] gonna go fsck [22:12] bbl [22:12] dont remember how...sorry [22:12] javatexan, choose the recovery option upon boot [22:13] okay....brb [22:18] okay in single mode....whats your pleasure? [22:19] superm1: okay in single user mode....what do you want me to try? [22:20] blargh [22:20] try to start lirc [22:20] via the init script again [22:20] and see if there is any error [22:23] says ready, but I am root@spacestation, usually I get auto logged in as mia....anyways, next [22:23] ? [22:24] right [22:24] so is it running? [22:24] did it keep running [22:24] after you ran the init script [22:26] yes I ./etc/init.d/lirc start and it is started and running (ready)....I checked with ps -la |grep "lirc*" [22:26] -lA sorry [22:27] okay [22:27] so type exit [22:27] and see if its running after the boot finishes [22:27] and watch for errors fly by [22:30] okay...boot over...no errors but no lirc running after boot [22:32] could it be an order thing? [22:34] can you try without letting it auto log in? [22:35] see if perhaps the first connection by myth is killing it [22:35] sure we can try that [22:39] okay...made the change going to see if if worked....I made the change in the mythbuntu control centre...is that okay? [22:41] lol...didnt work....still auto login [22:41] try this again..... [22:42] when I apply changes in Control Centre is says "no changes detected" so how do I do this manually? [22:43] did you restart [22:43] the comp [22:43] or just logout [22:43] i restarted [22:43] that'd be odd then [22:43] see /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf [22:44] still trure [22:44] true [22:45] set it to false [22:45] that's an odd bug [22:45] wonder why it hasn't plagued anyone else [22:45] alright looks like im going to go ahead and reinstall. should i backup anything else besides /home/ and /etc/ ? [22:45] im just lucky... ;) [22:45] restarting [22:46] kmyth, you might want to backup your sql [22:46] or your recordings [22:46] but that's up to you [22:46] * javatexan misses the days when he actually understanded linux in the Old days.... :) [22:46] dont care about recordings [22:46] how do i backup all my sql db's ? [22:46] understood ....my 4 yr old corrected me... LOL [22:46] haha [22:47] kmyth, if you dont care about recordings, dont bother with sql too [22:47] okay [22:47] thanks [22:47] lol [22:47] no more xfs for the root [22:47] i got burned [22:47] indeed that's a bad idea [22:47] superm1: okay to the login screen, whats the plan [22:47] i've been burned by that too [22:47] switch to a VT [22:48] and see if lirc is still running [22:48] yep [22:48] still kickin it! [22:48] so its the login [22:49] the thing I thought might have made it mad is running too, so it wasnt that either [22:50] has to be the login process some how [22:50] well its probably not the login itself, [22:50] but something else that is started at login [22:50] true [22:50] eg like the first time myth gets started [22:50] mythbackend is up and okay too right now [22:51] could it be in the users xfce startup? [22:52] well you can try to log in to the failsafe session [22:52] and start mythfrontend [22:52] i see something oddd [22:52] see if that kills it [22:52] .lircrc was created and owned by root and mia doesnt' have access to it [22:52] in home/mia [22:52] well that could be it [22:52] did you run mythbuntu-lircrc-generator as root? [22:53] sudo [22:53] ye [22:53] that's it then [22:53] wish me luck [22:53] rm ~/.lircrc and ~/.mythtv/lircrc [22:55] done [22:57] i get so used to having to use sudo to do anything not in my home directory......sorry [23:00] mythbuntu-lircrc-generator ....right....no sudo ;) [23:08] superm1: you are a steeley eyed missleman....it works [23:08] comes down to permissions all too often :) [23:08] where do i change it back to auto login [23:08] yeah...knowing when to sudo and when to not....sounds like .... [23:08] same file you can modify [23:08] or you can try in mcc [23:09] but it sounds like there might have been a bug with that in mcc [23:56] so obviously higher contrast ratio is better, but pratically speaking, what are some rules to go by on it?
