maclyjust wanted to thank everyone, I just got my mythtv box running perfectly, except for one thing, the initial volume settings, I'm trying to match the mythtv volume to the TV volume, but I've set the master volume down to 60 and I can't really hear a difference from 80.02:25
maclyany suggestions?02:25
maclybasically, I don't want to change from tv to mythtv, and blow the speakers off the TV (currently, it's close, but I'm a fscking perfectionist)02:25

zabadappfoxbuntu_laptop: I just discovered that /root has a .gtkrc-2.0 also ... so i.e. synaptic (started with su rights) looks wrong too unless it is removed ...02:56
foxbuntu_laptopzabadapp, our package doesn't put those there02:56
foxbuntu_laptopgdm does because of a setting in our package02:57
foxbuntu_laptopI changed it like 2 hours ago02:57
foxbuntu_laptopThanks for the hit though made it easy to find for me02:57
foxbuntu_laptophint*02:57
foxbuntu_laptopand for posting the bug02:58
superm1foxbuntu, you completely removed the .gtkrc-2.0?03:40
zabadappfoxbuntu_laptop: here's another bug :-) in /var/www/mythweb/data the softlink "video" points to /var/lib/mythtv/video, should be ../videoS ... same for video_covers03:40
superm1in the home directory of users?03:40
superm1or what'd you change?03:40

tritiumIs QAM tuning on an HDHomeRun still not working properly on 7.10?08:58
tritiumI can get tuner 0 (connected to an antenna) to tune ATSC just fine, but I can't get tuner 1 (attached to cable) to tune QAM.08:59
tritiumI hope I didn't make a mistake in buying one...09:01
tritiumsuperm1: you have one, don't you?09:15
superm1i have a hdhome run09:16
superm1yeah09:16
superm1and qam tuning works fine on 7.1009:16
superm1make sure you update your firmware09:16
tritiumYeah, did that.09:16
tritiumI'm about to try VLC.09:17
tritiumI get an error in mythtv about being unable to display something or other.09:17
superm1try to tune a different station then09:17
superm1its very common that 90% of your stations dont come in over QAM09:18
tritiumit fades out and takes me back out to the menu09:18
superm1even though they were part of the scan09:18
superm1like tune into your local PBS09:18
superm1or FOX09:18
superm1those are pretty reliable typically09:18
tritiumInteresting.09:18
tritiumYeah, I tried changing stations too, but it had already taken me back out to the menu.09:18
superm1if that's your only tuner -09:19
superm1you need to set the default station09:19
superm1in mythtv-setup09:19
superm1to a different station09:19
superm1unfortunately09:19
tritiumIt's not.  I have a DViCO in the box as well.09:19
tritiumMaybe tuner1 is bad.09:22
tritiumNow I'm just getting "You should have gotten a channel lock by now..."  At least that's better than it dropping back to the menu.09:23
tritiumWell, perhaps I'll send it back.  Good night.09:31
superm1nigth09:32
tritiumYeah, this must be a bad tuner.  I can't tune to FOX, PBS, anything at all.09:36

MythbuntuGuest48can anyone help?16:31
directhexMythbuntuGuest48, how long are you waiting before assuming it's frozen?16:32
zabadappMythbuntuGuest48: try running with failsafe graphics mode (a choice in the very beginnig), helped when my install turned black and froze16:38
MythbuntuGuest48 i have waited about 10minutes16:41
MythbuntuGuest48i am connecting both hdd and dvd via one ide cable16:42
MythbuntuGuest48so i am aware that is supposed to decrease performence but should it be taking that long?16:42

nettowdoesn't alsamixer come loaded?17:04
nettowI didn't have to do anything before17:05
directhexthen it obviously works now, and you shouldn't try any suggestions on fixing it17:07
nettowit hasn't work since the install...where did I say it worked?17:09
nettowi'm not an idiot17:10
directhexso have you tried the solution as suggested 8 minutes ago?17:11
nettowyes...it didn't  work17:15
nettowI have since fixed it ty17:15
nettowit didn't take me 8 minutes either17:15
nettowi hope someone treats you the same way17:16

=== MythbuntuGuest39 is now known as S|eepy
S|eepyEvening folks18:38
S|eepyJust thought I wopuld drop by and see if anyone could tell me if MythBuntu works with FloppyDTV SVB-S2 cards?18:39
S|eepyWindows MCE is no good to me as it doesnt support HD in the UK - plus would rather go the linux route of possible anyway!18:39
directhexthere's no stable dvb-s2 api18:41
directhexand no FTA dvb-s2 service in the uk18:41
S|eepynot good :(18:42
directhexthe only fta hd channel in the uk is bbc-hd, which is on regular dvb-s18:42
S|eepyTrue.  Although I can clear C4 HD with my Sky card18:43
S|eepyWhich is a start I guess18:43
S|eepyWith regards to mythbuntu, does it support usals?  So could it drive my motor?18:43
directhexdiseqc is supported by mythtv18:44
directhexdon't think usals is18:44
S|eepymaybe a silly question, but could I use diseqc instead?  I have only ever used usals, entering my long/lat and away I go.  Is disecq totally different?18:45
directhexthat said, google suggests it IS supported, though buggy in 0.2018:45
S|eepyahh - nice one18:45
S|eepyhmm.  so i guess this could be viable.18:46
S|eepyguess i could just load it all in vmware to start with, prove it can do what I need. if so move across fully18:46
directhexi don't think vmware allows you to pass through devices like tuner cards to a sufficient degree that they work18:47
superm1only if they are usb18:47
superm1or ethernet18:47
S|eepydoh!18:47
S|eepyah well, gonna have to wait till the missus aint in and start messing about I guess :-)18:48
directhexit's superm1!18:48
superm1hi kids18:48
directhexpresumably there were problems too great for the regular m118:48
superm1well of course18:49
CacketteWhat are the difference between the Record Profiles: "Default, Live TV, High Quality, Low Quality"?20:28
adaptrthe... quality >?20:34
Rigologood evening21:12
Rigolosuperm1: any idea when alpha 3 will be released?21:12
superm1i'm just doing tests on the disk right now21:12
Rigolookee21:12
superm1so provided i dont find anything wrong tomorrow or the day after21:13
RigoloI will wait for it ...21:13
Rigolomaybe an other question in the mean time ... and it is not mythbunut specific21:13
RigoloI've installed a number of packages since I installed my mythbuntu system21:13
Rigolomost of them I do not need anymore ...21:13
superm1right21:14
Rigolothey were just to see things, or even to compile stuff21:14
Rigolohow can I ge a list of "additional" packages21:14
Rigoloso those that are not part of the default install21:14
Rigoloso that I can get through them and remove the once that are no longer intresting21:14
superm1well easiest way is to look at your dpkg.log21:16
superm1to see what you've installed21:16
superm1in /var/log21:16
RigoloI've looked at the dpkg logs .. but it also lists the upgrades of "base" packages21:16
superm1yeah21:16
superm1well any that you remember, remove those21:17
superm1and the dependencies then show up in autoremovable21:17
RigoloI'm working on that .. but isn't there a base list of packages that is used during an intall or something?21:17
superm1well yeah mythbuntu-desktop21:17
superm1and mythbuntu-live's dependencies21:17
Rigoloand then just compair that to the currently installed packages?21:17
superm1well i wouldnt do it that route21:18
superm1there are a few not listed in there that may have gotten installed21:18
superm1and additionally, that won't show all the dependencies that route21:18
RigoloI saw deborphan ... and you can do some "marking" or something like that ... but that only works when you start with a fresh install21:18
Rigoloso, take a clean system .. do an clean install .. do an apt-get update / apt-get upgrade21:19
Rigoloand then dump the installed package list21:19
Rigoloand compare that?21:19
superm1yeah well i'd not worry so much though21:20
superm1i mean how much more space are you really adding?21:20
RigoloI just like a clean system ... I'm moving all my builds and compiles to a vmware image at the moment .. so that I have a nice "clean" desktop21:20
superm1ah21:21
superm1well the other thing too is start removing packages -dev packages21:21
superm1and such21:21
superm1and look what else it is taking out21:21
superm1if anything touches mythtv xfce or mythbuntu stuff dont remove it21:21
superm1otherwise do so21:21
Rigolothat is a start .. but still more like a hit and run tactic than a real thourogh approach ...21:22
superm1i regularly use that tactic on my box :)21:22
superm1i notice that i try something and then something else and the list goes up21:22
superm1but i've got a good idea of what is supposed to be around21:22
Rigolosomebody else must have had this question before me .... but googleing for ubuntu clean packages etc gives you a lot of hits .. and most of them not really usefull21:23
Rigolobtw ... are there already weekly 0.21 builds around?21:23
Rigolohidden somewhere :-)21:23
superm1yes they are on the trunk repo21:26
superm1and on hardy21:26
Rigolotrunk == 0.21 still?21:26
superm1yes21:26
Rigolookee21:26
superm1okay only see one bug to fix with mcc21:30
superm1and then should be good21:30
Rigoloand this alpha 3 .. is based on the ubuntu alpha 3 also? or already on alpha 4 of ubuntu?21:31
superm1its on the latest ubuntu archive21:32
superm1which is later than the latest ubuntu alpha21:32
superm1its just the third disk we've spun so that's where it gets its title21:32
directhexsuperm1, will the mythbuntu auto-builds be explicitly switched to the 0.21-fixes branch anytime soon? i.e. safely before 0.21 releases?21:32
Rigolookee, so the mythbuntu alpha numbers do not match ubuntu's ... good to know21:32
superm1directhex, the autobuilds for trunk already do that21:32
superm1will just switch the ppa they push to21:32
superm1to go to mythbuntu instead of mythbuntu-trunk21:33
directhexso the "trunk" builds actually build 0.21-fixes? that makes me feel much safer21:33
superm1yeah they do21:33
directhexworth modifying the wobsite to reflect that?21:33
RigoloI was just going to say .. trunk is not trunk :-) .. but 0.21 fixes in reality21:33
superm1directhex, i think the website was already updated for that21:34
directhexRigolo, that's the case today21:34
superm1someone eas confused21:34
directhexRigolo, can you assure me it will be the case in 2 weeks? a month? 2 months?21:34
Rigolonot me :-)21:34
directhexRigolo, as someone who's been burnt by the difference between "testing" and "sarge", i think it's good to take measures in advance ;)21:35
directhex(back when sarge was testing, and stable)21:35
Rigolobut I agree with directhex , it would be good to put on the website that for the moment there are no "real" trunk builds .. but 0.21-fixes builds pretending to be trunk :-)21:38
superm1well its not like trunk is really changing right now21:38
superm10.21 fixes is21:38
superm1but okay21:38
directhexit'd eliminate confusion, which is the important thing really21:40
Rigolobrb ... doing a reboot and see if my installation still works after I have remove some packages :-)21:41
directhexIMHO one of the best features in 0.21 is the new renderer selection. with the gl renderer and osd, it looks infinitely better21:42
Egghead3directhex, i have to agree, it was weel worth changing from 7.1021:45
superm1directhex, i'm turning off xvmc opengl on the next build though21:46
superm1you just mean the opengl renderer right21:46
Rigolowell .. that worked :-)21:47
directhexsuperm1, well, duh, i've got more than 8mhz lying about, i don't need xvmc21:48
superm1i do unfortunately21:48
superm1on my 2.8ghz pentium d21:48
superm1i cant even do fscking bob with out it21:48
directhexreally? my FE/BE is a 3ghz pentium-d21:48
directhexhang on, you said you didn't have an amd64 box!21:48
superm1this is a FE only too21:48
superm1no i dont21:48
superm1its i38621:48
directhexyes you do!21:49
superm1well its not running amd64 code though21:49
directhexwell, yeah, but it *coukd* ;)21:49
superm1haha well yeah it "could" i guess, but try setting up a chroot for netbooting an amd64 from an i386 box...21:49
directhexsounds like fun!21:50
* Rigolo still needs to play with netbooting ... that is what the nslu2 I have standing next to me is going to do ...21:50
superm1directhex, but maybe i'll put a hard drive in there21:52
superm1and do an amd64 install of a321:52
superm1once davemorris or tgm generates one21:52
superm1then i can build them in the future too i guess21:52
directhexdisks are cheap21:54
superm1yeah but so am i ;)21:56
superm1and netboots are cool21:56

ViakenI'm just curious... how far behind do releases lag? How long might I expect to wait after Ubuntu's Hardy release for it to be a good time to upgrade my frontend?23:24
ViakenI know it can be hard to say, and any number is to be taken with a grain of salt..23:24
superm1the target is the same time release23:24
superm1the only fixes that go in after are installer fixes23:25
superm1and live mode fixes23:25
superm1the archives are frozen23:25
superm1Viaken, but the sooner you can upgrade the more beneficial it is to us.  Catching upgrade bugs early is very important23:25
directhexsuperm1, i'd love to upgrade, but my experiences with ubuntu pre-releases are that they can be *very* hairy until about a fortnight before release. i tend to upgrade 1 month before release, and usually end up hitting really sticky bugs23:27
ViakenI would if I was the only one using the system. :\ I'm on Hardy on my laptop already. Some fairly nice systems...23:28
directhexthe "udev in /etc/rc.* multiple times" one really screwed me over23:28
Viakennice upgrades* lack of sleep getting to me. lol23:28
ViakenHowever, this is my family's DVR, and none of them have touched Linux. Most are ...very..not computer savvy.23:28
superm1directhex, yeah as long as you do with some time left to fix upgrade bugs, that's fine :)23:28
Seeker`what is the minimum bitrate for analog recordings to look as good as the actual broadcast?23:34
superm1directhex, and fyi, 1 month is like 1-2 weeks from now :)23:35
Seeker`I am using it on a TFT monitor23:35
