| Aquahallic | seems like I remember my other frontend had it as opengl | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| laga | depends on the VGA card | 00:01 |
| laga | DRM works just as well i'd say. | 00:01 |
| Aquahallic | and I have a check in the box to use opengl as the timing method | 00:01 |
| laga | still can lock to the vertical retrace of your monitor IIRC | 00:01 |
| Aquahallic | true | 00:01 |
| laga | Aquahallic: htpt://wiki.mythtv.org has something on that | 00:01 |
| laga | err, http | 00:01 |
| Aquahallic | well... I'm just trying to figure out why when I spin my cube around the livetv goes black until I let it go to that window | 00:01 |
| Aquahallic | hmmm... says something about Force AIGLX setting in compiz... but I can't find where in compiz config...:/ | 00:10 |
| superm1 | someone said something about compiz? | 00:12 |
| superm1 | what's happening? | 00:12 |
| Aquahallic | superm1: heard you're the one to talk to about compiz and mythtv | 00:13 |
| Aquahallic | :) | 00:13 |
| superm1 | i know too much about too much | 00:13 |
| Aquahallic | lol | 00:13 |
| Aquahallic | here's what I have goin' here | 00:13 |
| superm1 | okay to start: | 00:14 |
| superm1 | Xgl? | 00:14 |
| superm1 | if so, lose it | 00:14 |
| Aquahallic | would that be a setting in xorg.conf? | 00:14 |
| superm1 | no it would be installing xserver-xgl | 00:14 |
| superm1 | if that's installed, that's your issue | 00:14 |
| superm1 | otherwise carry on | 00:15 |
| Aquahallic | hrm... xserver installed with ubuntu... I didn't configure it | 00:15 |
| superm1 | not xserver | 00:15 |
| superm1 | xserver-xgl | 00:15 |
| Aquahallic | let me see if that's installed real quick | 00:15 |
| Aquahallic | noop.. not installed | 00:17 |
| Aquahallic | ok... so... continuing on | 00:17 |
| Aquahallic | I have mythtv running full screen on one side of my cube... I saw a post "I think it was yours" about a setting under work arounds and I already had that set.. but I'm seeing panels sometimes | 00:18 |
| Aquahallic | and... when I'm viewing livetv and I spin my cube... that side is black until I actually release the cube on that side.. and if I go into expo it only show half (diagonal) the picture | 00:19 |
| superm1 | do other Xv apps perform the same way? | 00:20 |
| superm1 | such as vlc | 00:20 |
| superm1 | or xine | 00:20 |
| superm1 | or mplayer | 00:20 |
| Aquahallic | actually... I dunno | 00:20 |
| Aquahallic | lemme fire up a video or something and see | 00:20 |
| Aquahallic | sorry.. someone came to door | 00:38 |
| Aquahallic | ok... so... I fired up a mpg in totem and then moved my cube... and... it looked like the movie actually stayed in one place.. yet.. the totem window moved away from it | 00:38 |
| Aquahallic | it's hard to explain | 00:39 |
| Aquahallic | almost like the movie kinda stayed there.. but the window moved away from it...:/ | 00:39 |
| Aquahallic | that make ANY sense at all??? | 00:41 |
| Aquahallic | LOL | 00:41 |
| Aquahallic | superm1: you still around? | 00:42 |
| superm1 | ya | 00:42 |
| superm1 | that makes sense | 00:42 |
| Aquahallic | ah... that make ANY sense? | 00:42 |
| superm1 | and explains why myth isn't working | 00:42 |
| Aquahallic | k.. so I'm NOT nuts | 00:43 |
| Aquahallic | LOL | 00:43 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure you can override that behavior any more | 00:43 |
| Aquahallic | what on earth is that?? any idea? | 00:43 |
| superm1 | yes | 00:43 |
| superm1 | its because the Xv overlay can't take odd shapes | 00:43 |
| superm1 | like what would happen when you move the window around | 00:43 |
| superm1 | its gotta be a rectangle | 00:43 |
| Aquahallic | well they boast compiz as being able to continue playing in realtime while spinning your cube | 00:44 |
| Aquahallic | but it's like the movie itself is ripping away from the window it's in | 00:44 |
| superm1 | well if you can solve this issue, you will solve your myth issue too | 00:44 |
| superm1 | it all comes down to that Xv overlay | 00:44 |
| Aquahallic | ok | 00:45 |
| superm1 | the reason the old videos were able to d oit | 00:45 |
| superm1 | is because they used a software video renderer | 00:45 |
| superm1 | whereas you are using the hardware video renderer | 00:45 |
| Aquahallic | with ATI? | 00:45 |
| superm1 | which isn't a bad thing, the software one makes compiz run like crap | 00:45 |
| Aquahallic | and the opensource driver? | 00:45 |
| superm1 | yeah | 00:45 |
| superm1 | you've got a little more direction here to at least google on the issue though | 00:46 |
| superm1 | that's about what i can comment on it | 00:46 |
| Aquahallic | yup yup! | 00:46 |
| Aquahallic | least now I know what to look for | 00:46 |
| Aquahallic | :P | 00:46 |
| Aquahallic | MUCH appreciated | 00:46 |
| superm1 | no prob, good luck | 00:46 |
| superm1 | and if you sort it out, make a post in the mythbuntu section on the forums | 00:47 |
| Aquahallic | mythtv and compiz STILL RAWKS even if I can't get this working like I want...:) | 00:47 |
| superm1 | so other people will see it | 00:47 |
| Aquahallic | sure will | 00:47 |
| superm1 | thanks | 00:47 |
| bear | hey everyone i need help with repositories | 01:05 |
| bear | i'm trying to get sdlmame | 01:05 |
| bear | for gusty 7.10 and they only have a seriously old version of xmame instead | 01:06 |
| bear | for the mediabuntu reposity listed | 01:06 |
| met4llica | Anyone available to help me? im having trouble installing drivers on mythbuntu | 01:55 |
| Aquahallic | in mythtv themes... I see in the tv_menu xml file it's executing TV_WATCH_LIVE... anyone know where/what this is actually executing | 06:24 |
| superm1 | it doesn't execute a binary directly | 06:30 |
| superm1 | its within libmyth | 06:30 |
| Aquahallic | well... .I've found something I think on the problem with the video with a cube and this ATI card | 06:41 |
| Aquahallic | found some info that had me take mplayer, zine and set them to No Xv or xshm and they work fine | 06:44 |
| Aquahallic | now it's just the native player for livetv in mythtv I need to set I believe | 06:44 |
| Aquahallic | so I was trying to find the actual executable and see if I can set the argument there | 06:45 |
| superm1 | ugh no xv | 06:46 |
| superm1 | that's an ugly way to do things | 06:46 |
| superm1 | you may lose vertical sync | 06:46 |
| superm1 | but if you really want to do that | 06:46 |
| superm1 | NO_XV=1 mythfrontend | 06:46 |
| superm1 | will launch it without Xv | 06:47 |
| Aquahallic | from commanline? | 06:47 |
| superm1 | yeah | 06:48 |
| Aquahallic | ok.. .did that... | 06:49 |
| Aquahallic | fired up and now it looks great on the panel fullscreen... but it's slow... video lags | 06:49 |
| superm1 | like i said | 06:50 |
| superm1 | goodbye sync :) | 06:50 |
| Aquahallic | hmmm | 06:50 |
| Aquahallic | is there a list of flags like NO_XV=1 for mythtv somewhere? | 06:53 |
| superm1 | not that i know of | 06:54 |
| Aquahallic | :( | 06:54 |
| superm1 | i just messed with that ages ago when i was playing with compiz | 06:54 |
| superm1 | and found that one | 06:54 |
| Aquahallic | hmmm | 06:54 |
| Aquahallic | zine uses xshm | 06:55 |
| ille | what size do I need for / partition. I have a KnoppMyth install with 3.7 GB and planning to migrate to mythbuntu. | 08:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest39 | how do default a dvd drive, have a usb xbox 360 and a internal blu ray sata drive but has configured to the xbox drive? | 10:10 |
| MythbuntuGuest39 | does anybody know if you can get a udf driver for gutsy | 11:58 |
| zagibu | does anyone know if there is a developer's version of mythbuntu and if it contains an updated xserver-xorg-video-intel? | 12:25 |
| zagibu | cause the 2.1.1 is bugged | 12:26 |
| laga | how so? | 12:26 |
| zagibu | it only detects 4:3 resolutions on my system | 12:32 |
| laga | ah | 12:32 |
| zagibu | here is a bug report: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-x@lists.debian.org/msg71560.html | 12:32 |
| laga | well, there's no development version as such.. i think we've released an alpha recently | 12:32 |
| zagibu | i, too, have a 1366x768 resolution display, but I can't use this resolution | 12:32 |
| laga | but there might be an easier way. | 12:32 |
| zagibu | i'm listening | 12:33 |
| laga | you can try to get the xserver-xorg-video-intel source package from hardy (http://packages.ubuntu.com) and try to re-build that | 12:33 |
| laga | if it's a newer version | 12:33 |
| zagibu | ok, what do I have to write into sources.list? | 12:33 |
| laga | you, just download them manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com | 12:34 |
| laga | the source package | 12:34 |
| laga | which will consist of three files | 12:34 |
| zagibu | ah, ok | 12:35 |
| laga | then you have to install a few things first: sudo aptitude install build-essential fakeroot | 12:35 |
| laga | then you can run dpkg-source -x <name-of-that-file-you-downloaded>.dsc | 12:35 |
| laga | it'll create a new directory. | 12:35 |
| zagibu | yeah, it's newer | 12:35 |
| laga | cd to that directory | 12:35 |
| laga | and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot | 12:36 |
| laga | it'll complain because packages are missing. install those. repeat. | 12:36 |
| laga | once it's done, cd.. and install the deb it created | 12:36 |
| zagibu | very cool, will try that, thanks a lot | 12:36 |
| laga | i also suggest you download the gutsy deb (not the source package this time :)) from packages.ubuntu.com so you can roll back easily. | 12:36 |
| laga | make sore not to break anything :) | 12:36 |
| zagibu | sure ;) | 12:38 |
| zagibu | you know, this is the first time someone really suggested something useful...i've been researching about this problem for three months now | 12:38 |
| zagibu | most suggested 915resolution, which unfortunately doesn't work, because the driver somehow doesn't list all available modes from the card bios | 12:39 |
| laga | :/ | 12:39 |
| laga | the new intel driver shouldn't have to use 915resolution. IIRC: :) | 12:40 |
| zagibu | yeah, exactly | 12:40 |
| laga | does your panel give out correct EDID info? | 12:40 |
| zagibu | how do I check this? | 12:42 |
| zagibu | in xorg.log? | 12:43 |
| laga | no clue :) | 12:43 |
| zagibu | i don't think so, though, as it's a LCD TV connected via DVI to HDMI | 12:43 |
| laga | i wonder if a modeline would solve your problem | 12:43 |
| zagibu | it also has a VGA connection but this doesn't support widescreen, unfortunately | 12:44 |
| zagibu | yeah, I tried several modelines I found for 1366x768, but none worked | 12:44 |
| laga | we have an old LCD TV and you can set it to widescreen or non-widescreen | 12:44 |
| zagibu | mine lists only 4:3 resolutions on the vga port specs | 12:45 |
| laga | silly :) | 12:45 |
| zagibu | yeah, I haven't tried to force it...might be the next step if your suggestion doesn't work | 12:45 |
| === MythbuntuGuest16 is now known as thundersaurus | ||
| thundersaurus | anyone know a good and easy way to watch video podcasts from rss feeds in mythbuntu? | 12:48 |
| neopsyche | hi, can someone please help me setup | 12:55 |
| neopsyche | I have installed myth tv.. but am experiencing problems configuring it | 12:55 |
| neopsyche | anyone? | 12:58 |
| neopsyche | hello? | 13:02 |
| neopsyche | hello? | 13:02 |
| neopsyche | anyone here? | 13:02 |
| neopsyche | I need help to configure myth | 13:02 |
| neopsyche | is there anyone here out of the 51 users that is online? | 13:03 |
| laga | just ask a question and someone will answer if they know the answer | 13:03 |
| neopsyche | ok | 13:03 |
| neopsyche | Myth tv comes up when i access it from ubuntu menu.. but then it says database not found .. its a strange blue config thing | 13:03 |
| neopsyche | what do i do now | 13:03 |
| neopsyche | I tried a few times to configure the db.. but something to do with permissions maby could someone please talk me through it? | 13:04 |
| neopsyche | laga: do you know how to install it? | 13:04 |
| laga | neopsyche: um, i haven't installed a database in a long time. check http://wiki.ubuntu.com | 13:05 |
| laga | and search for "mythtv" there | 13:05 |
| zagibu | hmmm, laga, it needs a lot of other hardy packages...i'm wondering if it would be faster to just add the hardy repository to sources.list? | 13:07 |
| neopsyche | not sure. | 13:08 |
| neopsyche | im pretty new to ubuntu | 13:08 |
| zagibu | i'm sorry, this wasn't in context to your question...it's something we discussed earlier | 13:08 |
| laga | zagibu: you sure those packages are not in ubuntu? | 13:09 |
| laga | err, gutsy. | 13:09 |
| zagibu | no, it needs a newer version of xserver-xorg-dev | 13:09 |
| zagibu | i have the gutsy version, not new enough | 13:09 |
| zagibu | as to your question, neopsyche, how did you install mythtv? | 13:09 |
| laga | zagibu: maybe you can just redit the version number in debian/control | 13:10 |
| laga | zagibu: try it :) | 13:10 |
| laga | zagibu: if you just add the hardy entries to your sources.list, your whole box might get upgraded to hardy which is probably not what you want | 13:11 |
| zagibu | hmmm, yeah | 13:11 |
| zagibu | maybe later ;) | 13:11 |
| laga | :) | 13:11 |
| zagibu | the debian/control is the one in the source directory? | 13:11 |
| laga | zagibu: yes | 13:12 |
| neopsyche | zagibu: sudo apt-get install myth-tv .. I think.. it was awhile ago | 13:13 |
| neopsyche | zagibu: is there anything i can check.? | 13:13 |
| neopsyche | zagibu: to see if its running properly? | 13:13 |
| neopsyche | zagibu: Theres myth icons in the ubuntu toolbar | 13:13 |
| zagibu | hmmm, can't help you then, I've always used the prepared mythbuntu distribution and haven't even gotten to run this one properly yet | 13:14 |
| laga | neopsyche: that's not enough. | 13:14 |
| laga | neopsyche: please read the wiki | 13:14 |
| zagibu | but you should read up all you can on the link that laga provided | 13:14 |
| neopsyche | how can i check if my hw tuner is compatible? | 13:15 |
| laga | by reading the wiki | 13:15 |
| neopsyche | my hardware tuner works with tvtime and xawtv | 13:15 |
| laga | ;) | 13:15 |
| laga | then it should work with mythtv | 13:15 |
| neopsyche | where is this wiki to read? | 13:15 |
| neopsyche | i am on help.ubuntu.com | 13:15 |
| neopsyche | ;-) | 13:15 |
| neopsyche | ok | 13:15 |
| zagibu | there is no mention of the xserver-xorg-dev package in debian/control, laga | 13:15 |
| laga | control | 13:16 |
| laga | oops. | 13:16 |
| laga | Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), quilt, pkg-config, xserver-xorg-dev (>= 2:1.3.0.0) | 13:16 |
| laga | that's in the gutsy package at least. | 13:16 |
| laga | like the 5th line | 13:16 |
| neopsyche | do i need to install frontend and backend to record tv shows from tv card? | 13:16 |
| zagibu | if you want the interface to control it, you need both | 13:18 |
| neopsyche | ok | 13:18 |
| neopsyche | thanks | 13:18 |
| zagibu | otherwise you probably could control the recordings using the webinterface...but to watch them, you also need the frontend, i suppose | 13:18 |
| zagibu | and laga, you are right, i'm blind (and should use grep to verify, sorry) | 13:19 |
| laga | zagibu: ;) | 13:20 |
| zagibu | ok, it's compiling now | 13:22 |
| zagibu | reminds me of gentoo-times | 13:22 |
| laga | ARCH="~x86" emerge xserver-xorg.. ;) | 13:22 |
| neopsyche | if i install mythbuntu .. does that mean its going to change all my desktop settings? | 13:23 |
| neopsyche | im currently running ubuntu-studio??? | 13:23 |
| laga | neopsyche: no | 13:23 |
| neopsyche | from the website its saying - do you want to install the mythbuntu-desktop ??? | 13:24 |
| laga | can anyone recommend a remote which can learn new IR codes, can do macros and is usable with mythtv? and costs less than a small fortune? :) | 13:24 |
| neopsyche | laga: wont that change my desktop? | 13:24 |
| zagibu | mythbuntu is a distribution, i think it will change it | 13:25 |
| laga | neopsyche: mythbuntu-desktop is a meta package. it#ll install new software. wether you want to use that or not is your choice. | 13:25 |
| laga | unless you're using xfce i think | 13:25 |
| zagibu | unless you can somehow migrate to it without doing a reinstall | 13:25 |
| laga | it's possible that it'll set your default session to mythbuntu-desktop, but you can easily change that in the login manager | 13:25 |
| zagibu | wow, it seems it's more complicated than I can grasp...i'll just shut up :) | 13:26 |
| laga | no | 13:26 |
| laga | it's easier, actually | 13:26 |
| laga | it just installs a bunch of new software and some special config | 13:26 |
| laga | it *should* not disrupt your existing session. | 13:26 |
| neopsyche | now it says its adding something called universe-dialogue? | 13:27 |
| laga | you can even install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop etc in mythbuntu-control-centre. | 13:27 |
| laga | not sure about ubuntu studio, though :) | 13:27 |
| neopsyche | is mythbuntu an authorised mod? | 13:27 |
| neopsyche | in other words.. supported by canonical? | 13:27 |
| laga | i think we're recognized, but not officially supported due to licence problems with mythtv and some dependencies. | 13:28 |
| laga | "supported by canonical" is somewhat misleading. i doubt that you can buy support contracts for ubuntu studio from canonical :) | 13:29 |
| zagibu | ok, laga, the built deb installed, now trying to reconfigure the x-server...cross your fingers ;) | 13:34 |
| neopsyche | so.. mythbuntu will allow me to set timing recording of tv programs? | 13:34 |
| zagibu | i don't know if it allows manually timing show, but in combination with an EPG, it allows it, yes | 13:35 |
| zagibu | and getting an EPG to work is a completely different story (and can be quite hard, depeding on your location) | 13:36 |
| zagibu | laga: the new driver works, but doesn't change the situation at all | 14:27 |
| laga | :/# | 14:27 |
| zagibu | the only resolutions i can set for the desktop are 480p (720x480) and 1080i (1950x540) | 14:28 |
| zagibu | i guess it's the TV | 14:28 |
| zagibu | i just don't understand the whole thing with HDMI and videosignals in general | 14:28 |
| laga | i'm sure you can override it with a modeline | 14:29 |
| zagibu | I mean, why is it so hard when any off-the-shelf DVD-Player can output the right signal | 14:29 |
| zagibu | all i want is to use the whole screen estate, like my 50$ DVD-Player does | 14:30 |
| laga | :) | 14:30 |
| laga | no clue | 14:30 |
| laga | Option "ModeDebug" "boolean" | 14:30 |
| laga | Enable printing of additional debugging information about modesetting to the server log. | 14:30 |
| laga | see man xorg.conf / man intel | 14:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | how do get the tv guide to work | 14:32 |
| zagibu | good question, dude...i think that's the main piece of work you have to do to get MythTV running | 14:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | tuner is setup and working but unable to recieve channel listings | 14:37 |
| zagibu | i'm not even there yet, though, so I can't really help ya | 14:37 |
| portahex | it depends on where you live and your tuner type | 14:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | is taken me ages to setup | 14:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | hauppauge wintv 500 dt and ive in uk | 14:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | live | 14:39 |
| portahex | pvr 500, or nova-t 500? | 14:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | nova t | 14:40 |
| portahex | read http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=10005&page=7 | 14:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | have got the card recieving channels | 14:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | going to give this a go later | 14:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | thanks for this | 14:48 |
| fast_edi | while using mythfilldatabase it says connection timed out and ...set the proper ip-address | 14:51 |
| fast_edi | but i use localhost in setup as advised | 14:51 |
| fast_edi | eth0 is set to a private ip. does this matter? | 14:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | ok im lost already with this | 14:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | im using wireless connection | 14:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | back end set default i address | 14:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | 127.00 so on | 14:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | as my setup got two tuners how is possible to set one for live tv and the other to record | 15:24 |
| portahex | why would you compartmentalise it like that? why not use both for whatever they're needed for? | 15:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | well have tryed to record and watch another channel together but no joy | 15:27 |
| laga | keescook: is there an ETA on the unionfs fixes? | 15:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | got it working , found another web page on to configure | 15:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | it all trial and errors at the moment getting there slowly | 15:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | took me three trys to get the tunners to work | 15:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | know ive got to get the hauppauge remote to work properly it little bit sensitive | 15:47 |
| zagibu | just buy a windows media center remote, it's really easy to setup in mythtv and it works from a great distance | 15:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | will the hauppage ir pickup a windows media remote as i got one of these when a xbox 360 hd dvddrive | 15:54 |
| zagibu | i don't think so... | 16:06 |
| zagibu | it's more the reciever that counts, i feel | 16:07 |
| zagibu | i'm not an IR expert though, and in theory, it should work even | 16:07 |
| zagibu | but yeah, in theory, my video card should also be able to send a 720p signal to my monitor, which it isn't in practice | 16:08 |
| zagibu | if laga is still reading, i've found some lines in my Xorg.0.log that say my TV is reporting via EDID only the two resolutions I can set in XFCE | 16:09 |
| zagibu | so this might be where the problem lies | 16:09 |
| zagibu | i have no clue on how to make it ignore this EDID stuff, thoguh | 16:10 |
| zagibu | the guys in intel-gfx are not very responsive, unfortunately | 16:10 |
| laga | no worries, i'm sure it can be done somehow :) | 16:20 |
| zagibu | or is it maybe an xorg option i have to set? | 16:21 |
| laga | probably, yes | 16:26 |
| zagibu | i've found one: "Ignore EDID" "1" ...gonna try it now | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | Section “Device” | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | Identifier “your graphics card model” | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | Driver “your graphics card driver” | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | BusID “PCI:1:0:0″ | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | Option “IgnoreEDID” “true” < < put this line if this is missing | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | EndSection | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | :) | 16:27 |
| Aquahallic | Google is your friend....:) | 16:28 |
| zagibu | i've found it in section monitor, actually | 16:29 |
| zagibu | which makes more sense, since my driver (intel) has no ignore EDID option | 16:29 |
| Aquahallic | well... if that one doesn't work... give that one a whirl | 16:29 |
| zagibu | sure, thanks | 16:29 |
| Aquahallic | http://baudizm.blogsome.com/2005/09/27/ignoring-edid-to-impose-higher-resolution/ | 16:30 |
| Aquahallic | there's the actual link... it also has you put the actual resolution you want to use under the monitor section | 16:30 |
| zagibu | trying now...other stuff didn't work | 16:40 |
| zagibu | no luck, it's still using EDID | 16:46 |
| Aquahallic | can you throw your xorg.conf into a pastebin so I might take a peek? | 16:46 |
| zagibu | sure | 16:51 |
| Aquahallic | and what's your exact model of intel card? | 16:52 |
| zagibu | 945GM | 16:54 |
| laga | did you set a modeline? | 16:54 |
| zagibu | http://pastebin.ca/875079 | 16:54 |
| zagibu | http://pastebin.ca/875081 | 16:55 |
| zagibu | toilet time | 16:56 |
| Aquahallic | dunno.. I don't really see anything funky in your xorg.conf.... there's GOT to be a way to turn it off though...:/ | 17:07 |
| Aquahallic | I did read this though...... | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | Option "Ignore" "bool" | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be ignored | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | entirely, and not reported through RandR. This is useful if the | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | hardware reports the presence of outputs that don't exist. | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only) | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | think it's under the monitor section | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-July/026572.html | 17:14 |
| Aquahallic | that's where I was reading it.... | 17:14 |
| laga | don't think that "Ignore" is the right thing | 17:22 |
| Aquahallic | maybe not... just reading on his chipset.. thought I'd post it and maybe it'll lead him in the right direction...:) | 17:23 |
| zagibu | my last option is to use a tool to change the edid of the LCD, but i'm a bit worried about destruction here | 17:24 |
| laga | zagibu: have you tried specifying a modeline while setting ignoreedid? | 17:24 |
| zagibu | yeah | 17:24 |
| zagibu | i can try again IgnoreEDID true in the monitor section | 17:25 |
| zagibu | had ignore EDID 1 there | 17:25 |
| laga | tried the debugging output? | 17:25 |
| laga | you need IgnoreEDID true. | 17:25 |
| laga | not anything that comes close ;) | 17:25 |
| laga | s/anything/something/ | 17:25 |
| Aquahallic | close only works in horseshoes and hand grenades....:P | 17:26 |
| zagibu | hehe | 17:27 |
| zagibu | i had the other thing off another page | 17:27 |
| zagibu | it doesn't work with the new syntax in the monitor section, either | 17:28 |
| zagibu | i think a problem might be my DVI->HDMI connection | 17:29 |
| zagibu | maybe the LCD only accepts video timings over this connection | 17:29 |
| zagibu | but it's still strange that it doesn't list 720p in EDID | 17:29 |
| zagibu | cause the manual clearly states it's 720p compatible | 17:29 |
| Aquahallic | have you googled your model of monitor and EDID and Xorg | 17:31 |
| zagibu | yeah, it only yields crap results and some swedish forum posts which i don't understand the first word of | 17:36 |
| Aquahallic | what model is your monitor? | 17:36 |
| zagibu | the TV is unfortunately a pretty rare and basic consumer model, not really an enthusiasts choice | 17:36 |
| zagibu | Sony KDL-40U2000 | 17:37 |
| zagibu | i think i'm going to try it via the vga input again | 17:39 |

| MythbuntuGuest48 | tunner ok | 18:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | remote has limited fuction | 18:23 |
| Daviey | yea, with the latest 500's you need to compile v4l-dvb | 18:23 |
| Daviey | from source :( | 18:23 |
| Daviey | oww | 18:23 |
| Daviey | Remote is working somewhat? | 18:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Daviey, who has access to the rsync server? | 18:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | did that last night | 18:23 |
| Daviey | tgm4883_laptop: | 18:23 |
| Daviey | <--------------- does | 18:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | anyone else? | 18:23 |
| Daviey | erm, bendailey | 18:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 18:24 |
| Daviey | superm1 still has access but can't remember his password AFAIK | 18:24 |
| Daviey | tgm4883_laptop: why do you ask? | 18:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | heh, he can't remember any of it, ports etc | 18:24 |
| Daviey | he's a plank :) | 18:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well superm1 wanted to push the alpha builds to that server | 18:24 |
| Daviey | i can do that | 18:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well you weren't around | 18:24 |
| Daviey | so what happend? | 18:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i see your hiding out in here, and not the -dev channel ;) | 18:25 |
| Daviey | erm | 18:25 |
| Daviey | am i not in -dev? | 18:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | eh, nothing, never got pushed | 18:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest48 | a | 18:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nope | 18:25 |
| Daviey | MythbuntuGuest48: you should be able to use myth control centre from here | 18:26 |
| Daviey | I thought you had no functionality, some just means lirc isn't conf'd properly | 18:26 |
| frink__ | Daviey: !! | 18:39 |
| Daviey | frink__: wassup :) | 18:52 |
| met4llica | anyone awake? | 19:01 |
| frink__ | Daviey: not much.. heh. Is the box OK now? I found out what happened. | 19:08 |
| frink__ | The firewall had a session overload issue (netscreen bug) - fixed now. | 19:09 |
| Daviey | frink__: sounds nasty.. thanks for getting it back | 19:26 |
| Daviey | seems ok now tho, thanks | 19:27 |
| frink__ | good | 19:28 |
| frink__ | wasnt too nasty | 19:28 |
| frink__ | the bug was with the Screen OS - it held SNMP sessions open. We had a faulty detector on the site that keps sending SNMP traps to the management things | 19:29 |
| frink__ | which gradually built up sessions on the firewall | 19:29 |
| frink__ | but ICMP seemed OK. I culd ping it, but that was all. | 19:29 |
| frink__ | maybe it does not keep state for ICMP. | 19:29 |
| frink__ | Anywya, sorry about that! | 19:36 |
| met4llica | anyone else have trouble building v4l-dvb on mythbuntu? | 19:43 |
| boggystudios | If I have a bunch of media already on my system then how do I get that incorporated into mythtv ? | 20:21 |
| hugolp | hi, Ive re-installed the backend and the mysql password is new. Now one of the front-ends refuses to start. Where I should change the password? | 21:25 |
| hugolp | I remember there was some dpkg command but I cant remember exactly | 21:25 |
| jduggan | normally in ~/.mysql/mysql.txt | 21:33 |
| jduggan | er | 21:33 |
| jduggan | normally in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt | 21:34 |
| jduggan | :) | 21:34 |
| compy | if anyone rips dvds what do you encode it to... or whats the best option, VOB, ISO, Divx, etc? | 21:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | compy, i prefer ISO, but only because i backup the whole dvd | 21:44 |
| compy | tgm4883, cool | 21:46 |
| directhex | i rip to h264 | 21:53 |
| laga | jduggan: not quite true. it's recommend you set the password in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt (using sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common or in mythbuntu-control-centre) | 21:54 |
| jduggan | oh really? | 21:58 |
| jduggan | i only use mythbuntu for a backend, oops | 21:58 |
| jduggan | :) | 21:59 |
| laga | :) | 21:59 |
| laga | starting with hardy, ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt will be a symlink to /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 21:59 |
| laga | because just too much stuff can break if they diverge | 21:59 |
| hugolp | thanks jduggan | 22:02 |
| mrbean | Hi folks.. I upgraded my myth box and now the video on most channels is very unstable. | 23:53 |
| mrbean | Video shakes and you'll see pink and green | 23:54 |
| mrbean | Im wondering if anyone else has run into this. The same hardware worked fine with kernel 2.6.17.14 | 23:55 |
| laga | does it work with tvtime? | 23:59 |
| laga | or xawtv or any other app? | 23:59 |
