[00:10] is there a filemanger in mythbuntu? [00:11] Thunar [00:11] cheers [00:25] hello. im still trying to get my divco dvb tuner to work.. I THINK its firmware/drivers are install properly, coz /dev/dvb is populated by adapter0 and also i get this : [00:25] michael@mediacentre:/dev/dvb$ dmesg | grep dvb [00:25] [ 31.481237] cx88/2: cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.6 loaded [00:25] [ 31.481241] cx88/2: registering cx8802 driver, type: dvb access: shared [00:26] but it cant bind in kaffine player. and cant open card in myth tv :( [00:42] look at more of dmesg [00:42] can you pastebin the whole thing [00:42] it will talk about the firmware in there [00:44] superm1: i told stowaway about Thunar hours ago in #mythtv-users [00:44] :S [00:44] Daviey, you hide in that bullpit? [00:45] :O [00:45] superm1: where else on freenode can you go to bully noobs. [00:45] #ubuntu? [00:45] heh [00:46] #noobs? [00:46] And on that note, i should go to bed. Catch you tommorrow chaps [00:48] night [00:49] I'm having a devil of a time getting my Mac Mini remote to work with Mythbuntu. [00:50] you need to see the right /dev/input/eventX device [00:50] in lircd.conf [00:50] that's not automatic unfortunatley [00:50] unfortunately even [00:53] it's /dev/input/event1 currently. `irw` never shows anything; but irrecord was able to create a conf file. [00:54] If I try to map a key using the Myth key editor, it always tells me "unknown key" [01:00] there is a conf out there already [01:00] in /usr/share/lirc [01:00] for apple remotes [01:00] try using that one [01:01] copy it your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf [01:01] restart lirc [01:01] and try irw [01:01] no joy. :( [01:02] and you are using the right driver? [01:02] evening everyone, I've got the cable problem sorted [01:03] superm1, macmini [01:03] DRIVER="macmini" [01:03] DEVICE="/dev/input/event1" [01:03] yeah that sounds right [01:04] now I've got another problem where TV listings keep getting the channels mixed up (e.g. it shows a Mythbusters marathon on channel 48 which is the Discovery Channel in Chicago, but here it's 55) [01:04] superm1, i can `sudo cat /dev/input/event1` and see stuff when I press the remote buttons. [01:04] but lircd doesn't seem to be seeing them. [01:04] Cygnet, sounds like you grabbed the wrong channel line up [01:05] in some areas of chicagoland there are like 4 or 5 lineups available to each area [01:05] I moved from Chicagoland to the Twin Cities [01:05] eg where i came from, i got lake zurich, arlington heights, highland park, and vernon hills line ups [01:05] it's still showing Chicago stuff in the lineups though [01:05] go and delete all the channels and refetch the channel listing [01:05] or even better delete the video source [01:06] and create a new one [01:06] I switched the lineup in schedulesdirect and in the settings to twin cities and refetched all the channels [01:06] will making a new video source make it start from scratch on the channel lineups? [01:06] I may try that [01:06] yeah just delete all the channels first [01:06] and that should work out right [01:06] all right [01:07] what was with the static earlier? [01:07] it was a problem with our cable subscription [01:08] we had full basic cable before (by accident, actually) and when we moved we started getting only the 20 or so channels that we were paying for :p [01:08] ah [01:31] hooray, I've got the new video source set up and refetched the channels and now all the shows are on the right channels [01:46] anyone use a dlink dsm-320 here as a frontend? [02:06] Hey guys, I'm having really painful issues with lirc. :o If I do "ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc" and then run it as root lircd works, but even after that if I try to run as a normal user I get: lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lircd.pid, can someone help me figure out why? [02:08] if I try to run the "lirc" service it starts, but then crashes when I run irw and outputs to the syslog: Feb 1 20:07:23 myth lircd-0.8.2[6404]: couldn't find a compatible USB device [02:09] anyone actually away here? ;) [02:23] dont do that [02:23] with the symlinks [02:23] you want things to startup via the init script [02:26] superm1, but it refuses to... [02:26] superm1, not sure what else I can do [02:26] well then you have something configured wrong somewhere [02:27] did you mis-list your modules in hardware.conf? [02:28] superm1, could be... [02:28] well pastebin your hardware.conf [02:28] superm1, I have an ATI Remote Wonder II [02:28] yeah seems some people have had trouble with those in gutsy [02:28] superm1, should I be running with userspace or kernel driver? [02:28] that's up to you [02:29] people have mixed luck [02:29] superm1, what reasons should I choose one over another? [02:29] different responsiveness i'd guess [02:29] i dont have one of these remotes myself [02:29] so i haven't compared [02:30] http://pastebin.com/m5dc26b29 [02:31] okay so when you are using the userspace driver, you shouldnt be having any /dev/lirc0 [02:32] so the fact that you are forcing LIRCD_ARGS [02:32] is throwing it [02:32] those are automatically populated by the init script when necessary [02:32] so comment out the DEVICE line? [02:33] or comment out LIRCD_ARGS? [02:33] comment out LIRCD_ARGS [02:34] and also you should have no lirc modules loaded right now [02:34] make sure that none are [02:34] if you have a /dev/lirc0, something is loaded [02:34] There is a /dev/lirc0 and a /dev/lircd [02:35] well unload any lirc_* modules then [02:35] how? [02:35] lsmod | grep lirc [02:35] to find out which are loaded [02:35] and then sudo rmmod MODULE [02:35] to unload one [02:36] unloaded lirc_atiusb and lirc_dev...assuming I shouldn't unload usbcore. :o [02:37] what now? [02:38] try to restart the init script [02:38] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [02:38] done [02:39] stopped lircmd lircd, started lircd [02:40] so see if its still running [02:40] and then try irw [02:41] ps -e | grep lirc found lircd [02:41] I invoke irw and it immediately returns [02:42] syslog says: Feb 1 20:41:45 myth lircd-0.8.2[6448]: couldn't find a compatible USB device [02:42] check if you have any other ati modules loaded [02:42] if not, switch to the kernel module driver in mcc [02:42] ati_remote2 is loaded [02:43] take that out [02:43] done [02:43] restart lirc and try again [02:43] k [02:44] same [02:44] okay so switch to the kernel driver and try it with that [02:44] mcc will handle the modifications to your hardare.conf for you [02:44] how do I do that? I had used the Mythbuntu Control Center previously [02:44] gotcha [02:44] yeah that's what mcc stands for [02:44] brb [02:46] now what? [02:46] well once you do that, check what modules are loaded again [02:46] and you should have the lirc_ ones [02:46] which is okay [02:46] so try irw [02:46] I rebooted...is that alright? [02:47] well not necessarily [02:47] check and see if that atiremote2 one came back [02:47] if it did that will need to be blacklisted (and where the trouble from the start likely was) [02:47] I have ati_remote2, lirc_atiusb, and lirc_dev [02:47] unload them all [02:48] and then restart lirc with the init script [02:48] lirc_atiusb should get loaded again [02:48] it says lirc_atiusb is in use [02:49] okay, now lirc_atiusb and lirc_dev came back up [02:50] irw? [02:51] I run irw but no information is feeding to the screen from my remote [02:51] ywah [02:51] but irw didn't die [02:52] no [02:52] okay well that's a good sign [02:52] dmesg look nice too now? [02:52] originally though if I were to create a symbolic link to /dev/lirc and run lircd as root irw would work and actually output stuff... [02:53] okay, lets see the new hardware.conf then [02:53] see if anything else stands out in it [02:53] http://pastebin.com/m116f2041 [02:54] okay that looks correct [02:54] lircd should be running as root right now [02:54] if you check the process listing [02:54] can you see the command that it was launched with right now? [02:54] how do I get the extra info in ps? [02:55] i usually do something like [02:55] ps aux | grep lirc [02:55] I get back: root 6374 0.0 0.0 15928 696 ? Ss 20:49 0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 [02:55] yeah so running as root [02:55] and pointing to the device file /dev/lirc0 [02:56] there is a /dev/lirc0 now [02:56] okay perhaps can you sudo cat /dev/lirc0 [02:56] and press some buttons [02:56] and see if you get output in the terminal? [02:56] cat: /dev/lirc0: Invalid argument [02:57] what's dmesg say about anything lirc'y [02:57] http://pastebin.com/m3f1cc2b2 [02:57] well that all looks right [02:58] try to irrecord [02:58] irrecord: could not get file information for /dev/lirc [02:58] irrecord: default_init(): No such file or directory [02:58] irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) [02:58] oops...sorry [02:58] irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 [02:58] you'll need to do [02:58] the default device is not /dev/lirc0 [03:00] that seems to have worked... [03:00] I had to run irrecord as root though [03:01] okay well this being the case, bad lircd.conf possibly? [03:02] I have a backup from a working one I had before. [03:03] you were right [03:03] I swapped out and it works now [03:03] okay so blacklist that atiremote2 module [03:03] file a bug against lirc [03:04] saying that module needs to be blacklisted [03:04] lirc in ubuntu that is [03:04] make sure you indicate that you are using gutsy [03:04] also post your two lircd.conf's [03:04] the functional one and non functional one [03:04] so those can get sorted out too [03:04] superm1, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - add "blacklist ati_remote2"? [03:05] that sounds right, but i don't remember offhand [03:05] superm1, I created the lircd.conf file that worked...I used irrecord [03:05] good thing I kept it. :) [03:05] that's interesting that you had to though [03:05] indeed [03:06] the lircd.conf that is included came from upstream [03:06] so it should have been okay [03:06] so everything should work when I reboot? [03:06] well you tell me :) [03:06] trying now. :) [03:07] In comparison to Mythdora, I love Mythbuntu, but there's still a LONG way it has to go. [03:08] darkfrog, well please file bugs with anything you catch [03:08] too many people go on the forums, say something doesn't work, and it gets lost :) [03:08] aha! [03:08] it works. :) [03:08] wonderful [03:09] if you can, at some point before hardy gets released, around beta/rc time - can you test again with hardy? [03:09] its good to have people with test hardware to verify these sorts of things [03:10] Thanks so much...you saved me a lot of headache and some frustrating glances from my wife. :-p [03:10] Test with Mythbuntu hardy? [03:11] yes [03:11] in about a month or two [03:11] you should be able to check just off the live disk then [03:11] without needing to sacrafice your install [03:11] yeah, I can do that [03:11] sacrafice even [03:11] sacrifice [03:11] hehe [03:12] Well, I'm a programmer, so if you ever need anything programming-wise just let me know...I'd love to be able to repay the debt I owe you. ;) [03:12] darkfrog, what's your language of choice? [03:13] superm1, Java [03:13] superm1, I wrote this: http://jseamless.org [03:13] superm1, but I know MANY languages [03:13] neat [03:14] darkfrog, well we can definitely use help. the best thing will be to sit down at some point and look at our open blueprints [03:14] and see what appeals to you to write [03:14] or if you have any of your own ideas, we're very open [03:15] I do like the way the installation and MCC works, but the fact that it is designed as a normal application window is somewhat strange I think. [03:16] well eventually there will be an effort to convert it to libmythui [03:16] to have it part of mythfrontend [03:16] MythTV is designed with the idea in mind that it's likely running on a tv and certain assertions are made about how text should be displayed...normal applications don't make those assertions [03:16] but that's some time out [03:16] do agree with you there though [03:16] Also, adding functionality to a web-based mcc would be useful as well [03:16] its just that python code is like talking english. you can write an entire fully functional app in a few hours [03:17] whereas writing it in libmythui, that would be a bit more involved - since having to learn the API that libmythui is using, and a lot of C callbacks [03:17] for things that are already handled with nice libraries in python [03:17] yeah, but the problem with Python is that it has similarities to Perl (granted not as bad), but it's something of a "write-only" language. ;) [03:18] maintainability is difficult with complex python projects [03:18] yeah i've noticed that about mcc [03:18] and started to abstract it some more [03:18] so as to not break it by so easily [03:19] the biggest complaint I've had with Mythbuntu is the remote functionality...everything else has been moderately smooth for me. [03:19] Except I had to run the install through safe-mode [03:19] yeah that's a problem for some people, but not anything that we can directly handle here [03:20] more of an upstream xorg issue there [03:20] the remote stuff has changed significantly already for hardy [03:20] its possible i already resolved your issue, but i have done so much this cycle, i forget a lot of the code i've written :) === slestak|away is now known as slestak [03:20] I noticed...I installed a few months ago and then rebuilt a CD for AMD64 and it was different, then I updated as soon as I installed and it was again different. :o [03:21] that was another thing [03:21] here's what the lirc pages are looking like in hardy: http://mythbuntu.org/image/tid/8 [03:21] when I first installed it let me choose "Other" (or something similar), but after updating that option was gone. [03:21] you're on gutsy still right? [03:21] That was an awesome feature...it let me explicitly choose each aspect [03:21] 7.10, yeah [03:21] okay good [03:22] yeah that other is back in hardy [03:22] as "Custom" [03:22] there was a lot of bugs with letting people customize stuff like that too much in ubiquity [03:22] which is why it was disabled for mcc [03:22] What would be great is a "Remote Wizard" that would take you through the process of either detecting or at least letting you try different remote drivers without having to do it manually. [03:22] well that, and a way to easily customize buttons via a gui [03:23] both specs, but more involved than initially expected :) [03:23] the wizard functionality would be involved, but I can't imagine it would be that complex [03:24] well actually again with hardy changes to lirc, it is a lot more feasible [03:24] it would be a life saver for people like me that were inches away from blowing it away and installing Fedora 8. :o [03:24] :) [03:24] seriously if you hadn't chimed in tonight I would probably be installing Fedora 8 right now [03:25] well how is the responsiveness with the kernel mode driver? [03:25] maybe just wiping the userspace one is an idea [03:25] to avoid the confusion [03:25] since I created my own lircd.conf the buttons don't work on MythTV, I'm going to write them by hand [03:25] so I can't really test yet [03:26] well - [03:26] I just wish I could use the built-in kernel module for my remote. [03:26] if you selected your button names to previously used names in the lircd.conf's [03:26] Most buttons work and I can even use it as a mouse...it just sucks that it doesn't capture several of the buttons. [03:26] the generate dynamic button mappings option [03:26] I didn't. :) [03:26] in mcc will generate lircrc's [03:26] oh nvm then :) [03:27] I planned to create a new one by handle anyway...too many buttons and I have very specific intentions for each one. :o [03:27] handle = hand [03:28] anyway...thanks again for your help. [03:28] I'm going to head to bed and probably work on writing out the control mappings in the morning. :) [03:28] okay great [03:28] night [05:55] I tried using the setup dialog for Mythbuntu and now Gnome's login manager won't boot. Does anyone know what's going on? [06:00] fireb0x [06:00] yiz0 [06:01] my gdm is t3h died [06:03] its cuz u is gay [06:04] :( [06:04] it h8s u [06:05] oh noez. i am epic fail [06:43] hello. i have installed mythbuntu and i can get everything working except i cannot figure out how to make the mythbackend start automatically. Can anyone please help. [06:43] If I manually start mythbackend the system works fine. I currently have it running in a screen session. [07:30] hi guys was just woundering if anyone could help me, i installed mythbuntu but cant seem to detect my VisionPlus DVB-T card. i tried mythdora before and it found it automaticly but i would much rather use mythbuntu. any thoughts? [07:57] hey all [09:06] I just installed a PVR-350 and after configuring the backend, I can't seem to watch tv on the frontend [09:07] it just gives me a black screen, then times out [09:07] at which point it goes back to the main menu [09:07] any suggestions? [09:15] Newy11, take a look and see if its just missing firmware [09:15] dmesg will tell you a lot [09:17] ok cheers for the reply ;) sorry im total noob when it comes to linux do i just type dmesg in a terminal? [09:17] Newy11, yeah [09:19] ok done that but not sure what im looking for. sorry for being noob :P [09:22] if you can pastebin the contents of it [09:22] i can help you look through it [09:22] !pastebin [09:22] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[09:30] yeah sorry i didnt mean to paste it in there :( [09:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54436/ [09:39] anything u can see that maybe making it not show up in the mythTV setup? [09:39] does this card do both analog and digital? [09:40] it looks like the digital frontend for it is fully recognized and setup [09:44] im not 100% sure if it does both [09:44] im just googleing atm to see if it does [09:44] well minimally it looks like it does digital [09:44] and that its working as expected [09:44] what happens when you configure it as a dvb device in mythtv-setup? [09:46] says could not open [09:48] did you try after you rebooted? [09:48] after install that is? [09:48] i've heard of some chaps that can't do some tuner stuff until after the reboot [09:49] yeah i did a install but i rebooted it a min ago and it actually has come up now ;) cheers heaps for your help [09:49] great :) [09:50] now i just have to get my head around installing Shepherd as im a aussie user [09:50] well if you get a good understanding of it and want to get some automation wrapped around it, we're open to patches :) [09:52] great sounds awesome, thanks heaps again ;) [09:53] best of luck [10:34] hey all, i was just trying to install Shepherd as i am a AUS user and i was trying to install perl dependencies using the cpan command and it wants me to setup cpan first. so i clicked yes setup, now its asking where is your unzip program? [path] [10:35] any ideas? [13:00] I have one tv card in an ubuntu box, running mythtv. Now I want to add another. How do I ensure that the old card still get /dev/video0, and the new new takes /dev/video1 [13:00] fstxx: If it starts mixing up, use a udev rule to fix the names... [13:01] fstxx: As described here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Device_Filenames_and_udev [13:01] It actually pretty simple [13:02] Thanks, I'll look at that page [13:54] Milhousepunkrock: That page seems to describe something else. Do you know is there is a way to [13:55] keep the /dev/video0 to point to the old card. [13:55] make a module alias and couple it to that dev node [13:59] adapter: did you talk to me? I don't know what a modules alias is, how I make one, or how to couple it to a dev node. [14:14] I presume you have two video cards, and need somehow to assign specific device nodes to them ? [14:14] my first question would be why [14:26] adaptr: sorry, i was away? Are you still there? [14:27] adaptr: I have one card in the box now, and i want to add another without fucking up what works now. [14:28] how would you fuck it up ? have you tried it ? [14:28] if you mean losing your outputs, yes, that may happen - remove it from the stack and hang a monitor and keyboard [14:28] you will have to reconfigure certain things regardless [14:29] as with all hardware changes [14:30] adaptr: no, I have no tried yet. I did have problems with sound when I had a pci sound card in the box in addition to the mootherboard sound devices. [14:33] adaptr: conguring mythtv was a pain, so I don't want to disturb that configuration. [14:34] did you install mythbuntu ? [14:34] it's about as painless as it gets [14:34] and is fully upgradable to the *buntu of your choice afterwards [14:35] adaptr: It was not pianless for me. But now it does work. I do not want to start over. But you suggested that there might be way. You said something about mdule alias> [14:36] no, if you want to add a TV card, you must add the TV card [14:36] reboot [14:36] then see what happens [14:37] adaptr: now: bttv card -> /dev/video0 what I want: bttv card -> /dev/video0, pvr-1110 -> /dev/video1. [14:37] fstxx: why ? the location of the card is irrelevant to its functionality [14:38] adaptr: wen I had two sound cards, the devices switched aournd on each boot. Will they vidoe devices do that? [14:38] adapter: because myth is configured to use /dev/video0, and I want to keep that working. I don't want [14:39] to remove the card in mythtv-setup. [14:39] fstxx: that is dependent on the way in which the module loader is configured, and for sound devices - and probably also video devices - you can "solve" this by defining module aliases [14:39] fstxx: you are making a LOT of assumptions about something that you have not yet tried [14:39] the first step, regardless of what you think or what you want, is to ADD THE HARDWARE [14:39] nothing makes sense until you do that [14:42] adaptr: If I do that, and /dev/video0 no longer is the bttv card, my daughter can't watch tv until I have figured out how to fix it. I prefer to figure out that before I do that [14:43] adaptr: pleeas be honest now. Do you know how do that with module aliases? [14:48] fstxx: so I'm dishonest now ? [14:48] fucking usless statement that seriously has no place here [14:49] in order to fix any ensuing problems, you will first have to EXPERIENCE them [14:49] qualcuno mi può aiutare ad installare lirc [14:49] peppe: EnNglish, please [14:49] Engrish, even [14:49] <[nrx]> hi folks! :) [14:50] can you help me to install lirc [14:50] <[nrx]> trying to get a remote working? [14:51] peppe: not at this distance, no [14:51] adaptr: so you don't know. thank you for trying to help. [14:51] sorry but i don't speach english very [14:51] fstxx: nobody knows, until you put it in and see what happens [14:52] smartass [14:52] judgemental smartass, even [14:52] <[nrx]> lol [14:52] ubunt get this msg "Couldn't build LIRC kernel modules" when i write "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source" [14:53] and you need the sources..why ? [15:36] adaptr: I looked a bit deeper into udev, as advised by MilhousePunkRock. It seems that the foolowing udev lines will do what I want, at least that is the way Iinterpret the output from udevtest:KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", DRIVERS=="bttv" , NAME="video0", SYMLINK += "video-bttv" [15:36] KERNEL=="vbi[0-9]*", DRIVERS=="bttv" , NAME="vbi0", SYMLINK += "vbi-bttv" [15:36] KERNEL=="radio[0-9]*", DRIVERS=="bttv" , NAME="radio0", SYMLINK += "radio-bttv" [15:36] KERNEL=="video[0-9]*", DRIVERS!="bttv" , NAME="v4l/video%n" [15:36] KERNEL=="vbi[0-9]*", DRIVERS!="bttv" , NAME="v4l/vbi%n" [15:36] KERNEL=="radio[0-9]*", DRIVERS!="bttv" , NAME="v4l/radio%n" [16:42] <[nrx]> can anyone help please? [16:42] <[nrx]> hi folks. I managed to see input from the remote control with irw earlier... I've been working through the doc on the wiki, and now i see nothing at all from irw [16:42] <[nrx]> oops [16:42] <[nrx]> :) [16:59] I needs some help with my remote control setup [17:15] <[nrx]> please please please someone help me with my remote :( :( [17:17] anyone knows why I get this from transcoder when trying to transcode a mpeg2 to AVi: [transcode] warning : (encoder.c) video export module error: init failed [17:17] it doesnt say mnore than that :| [17:19] Anybody good with remote setup? [17:20] <[nrx]> i'm having the same problem, MuthbuntuG [17:20] Can't seem to find any help [17:20] What is your problem nrx? [17:20] <[nrx]> some of the buttons not working correctly, or working at all [17:21] <[nrx]> what's yours? [17:22] I have hp media center remote with a usb-uirt that I am trying to use with my dish sat box. [17:22] <[nrx]> ah [17:22] <[nrx]> well, i wouldn't be able to help you there i'm afraid! [17:23] <[nrx]> just my 'ok' button on the remote has stopped working [17:23] <[nrx]> since i followed info on the wiki [17:23] what kind of remote do you have? [17:24] <[nrx]> hauppauge nova-t 500 jobbie [17:24] <[nrx]> the okay button isn't even shown with irw [17:24] <[nrx]> the rest are though [17:24] <[nrx]> :/ [17:25] <[nrx]> oh, and back/exit isn't [17:25] <[nrx]> which is annoyin because if you're in different menus in mythtv, you can'get back unless you use 'esc' key on keyboard [17:26] <[nrx]> seems the code isn't right [17:28] check this link out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611081&highlight=nova-t+remote [17:30] <[nrx]> yeah, it's just two buttons that aren't working [17:33] <[nrx]> the code for OK seems to be wrong in lircd.conf [21:34] my channel line up is way off [21:35] mythfilldatabase --do-channel-updates is not helping [21:43] LT_Tuvok, blow away the video source [21:43] and re-add it [21:43] aye [21:44] because I know Duke is not playing Miami on PBS :) [21:52] Bug #188456 in mythtv [21:52] i had a "MythTV-Database reconfigure required" information popup on my desktop which said to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database" [21:52] sorry [21:53] dwf_starband, and? [21:53] it doesnt work [21:53] I'm not quite sure where to go from here, things are working, but they are under channel numbers, and I don't know how to figure out which channels are under which channel numbers [21:53] access denied [21:53] dwf_starband, not enough details [21:53] It's also possible that mysql-server wasn't running. [21:53] KjetilK, what? [21:54] is what it said [21:54] LT_Tuvok: uhm, hard to explain... [21:54] I see [21:54] if I go "watch TV" now, I get some channels... [21:55] if I type "21" on my keyboard, I get Cartoon Network [21:55] and if I type "25" I get some other channel [21:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4111/ [21:55] superm1, thx [21:55] but I don't know how to figure out what channels are on which number [21:56] np [21:56] KjetilK, try read the faq @mythtv's wiki [21:56] dwf_starband, u2 [21:56] read the docs folks [21:56] ok [21:56] mmm, yeah... [21:57] its all there, then come back with detailed queries [21:57] its obvious when yyou don't even search [21:57] for common frequently asked questions [21:59] * KjetilK nods in shame [21:59] this is deeply confusing though, I've worked weeks with the lirc setup [22:00] and there things weren't documented, so I have read hundreds of pages without finding what I look for [22:01] I understand the frustration [22:01] lirc hurt me bad as well [22:01] but gotit working [22:01] * KjetilK has given up on PVR-150 for now [22:01] I'm not sure whether is is my lack of understanding or hardware failure [22:02] thats whatI have [22:02] give up why, it works great [22:02] remote and all [22:02] the capture now works great [22:02] I had the IR remote working for a while too [22:03] which kernel you using? [22:03] but with really bad sensitivity [22:03] stock MythBuntu [22:03] 2.6.22, I suppose [22:03] you run the mythbuntu control center [22:03] they make it so easy [22:03] when I got those to lircd daemons [22:03] i had really bad sensitivity with my remote, but now me and my wife use our nintendo ds's as network remotes, it works great [22:04] it makes the lirc file for you [22:04] so we dont even need the ir remote anymore [22:04] yeah, did that, but now neither mode2 nor irw reports anything [22:04] cool [22:04] dwf_starband: that's cool! [22:04] you need to do more doc combing [22:05] there are plenty copies of the lirc.conf online [22:05] LT_Tuvok: I doubt that's the problem [22:05] mode2 works by detecting the raw signals [22:05] without lirc even running [22:05] so, it is 100% not a lirc problem [22:06] either the IR detector is dead, or there is a really deep problem in some software somewhere... [22:06] nvr made the implication it was [22:06] gl [22:06] nvr? [22:06] never [22:07] oh :-) [22:07] got the volume knob on my Antec Fusion working though :-) [22:07] it uses lirc too [22:07] ever seen this page? [22:08] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PVR150_Remote [22:08] yup [22:08] I have the grey remote, though [22:09] but as I said, I had it running, and has made no changes in that part of the config since then [22:10] when that happened to me, somehow, my conf file was removed [22:12] hmmm [22:13] they are all in place here [22:20] can some one tell me what the command is to configure vnc? I am doing a fresh install and I forgot what I did last time. [22:45] ubuntu newsgroups are hillarious [23:05] onesojourner, open up mcc [23:05] and do it all from there [23:33] is it possible to put a picture on a folder in mythvideo? [23:46] is it possible to update my computer [23:46] is it possible to surf the web in ubuntu? [23:46] is it .... [23:47] geez [23:47] of course it is [23:47] I know [23:48] just mocking some of the questions that get posted in damn near ALL ubuntu channels [23:48] its amazing [23:48] is google really a mystery to folks? [23:49] new season of of flavor of love, and no hard disk space? [23:49] :( [23:49] the horror [23:50] * KjetilK thinks he is being bitten by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmltv/+bug/186216 [23:51] is that what's needed to get a mapping between the channel numbers and the channels? [23:51] * KjetilK feels really stupid [23:52] sorry if that is a stupid question but i did search mythtvtalk and found nothing
