[00:28] Can someone help me w/ screen resolution [00:28] i have a 1080p TV and mythbuntu wont let me past 1280x720 [00:37] cackette....you will need to first modifiy the xorg.conf file and look at Xorg.0.log for results [00:37] also find out your monitors spec's...... [00:38] then either enable or disable the EDID in the xorg.conf file..... [00:38] you are going to have some trial and error getting it setup [00:41] i heard about a package called automatix [00:41] i'm gonna check that out, then mess w/ xorg [00:48] Cackette, automatix may help you install your restricted drivers, but they probably wont help you with your edid problem [00:55] tgm4883_laptop I had to blacklist the tuner audio to get the audio issue resolved [01:02] actually, 1080p showed up automatically after i rebooted after installing the restricted drivers [01:04] good [01:16] UGH [01:17] my comp is too slow to playback a 1080p movie [01:34] Cackette, specs? [01:44] amd 3000+, 2GB DDR1, nvidia 6600 [01:44] it works [01:44] but the audio is out of sync [01:48] Cackette, is this gutsy or hardy? [01:52] 7.10 [02:49] i have 8.04, it just updated, and now im at kernel 24-11, will this keep happening? [02:50] Cackette: still there? [02:53] Cackette: http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for-linux/ It's a better performing windows only H.264 codec that can be made to work in linux. I haven't tried it myself though. [03:22] Egghead3, yes [03:22] you will continue to get update [03:22] s [03:22] until 8.04 is release. Then there will only be a few updates [03:31] tgm, thanks [03:32] stuff keeps breaking, but only on one of 3 machines [03:34] swhat's breaking? [03:34] filing bus? :) [03:35] bugs [03:35] that is [03:36] well for starters, after update, navidia driver wouldnt load, it was the restriced-modules~~-11-generic didnt load... [03:37] but synaptic saw it, whent in manually and installed it, other 2 machines no problem, saw it and installed it [03:37] oh well that's stuff that gets sorted out on its own though [03:37] and happens during development cycle [03:37] anything else though? [03:37] hehe i guess [03:38] ummm yea the same machine, had the -386 kernel as the 0 (default) in the grub [03:39] i changed it but thought it was wierd, other two machines started with the -generic kernel [03:39] can you file a bug about that and attach your upgrade logs and dpkg logs? [03:39] someone else saw that too [03:39] and i'd like to narrow it down [03:40] ok will do [03:40] thanks [03:40] also, playing iso friles with internal player, it doesnt play audio on some iso's, known good isos [03:41] np, least i can do, for such a great proggie :0 [03:41] oops :) [03:43] on the good side, in 7.10, internal player would puke if thrying to fastfwd/ or rewind, nolonger a problem in 8.04, also video quality looks much better [03:49] superm1, how do i file a report?, ive only done it when there was a crash [03:50] http://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu [03:50] thanks :) [04:00] what is the upgrade log called? [04:01] i dont remember that [04:01] maybe /var/log/update-manager [04:01] or /var/log/upgrade.log? [04:03] dont see either of them, there is a an aptitude log [04:04] nope thta's not it [04:04] do a ls -alhR [04:04] and pastebin it [04:07] pastebin? [04:07] !pastebin [04:07] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:08] ok [04:08] wait this wasn't off an upgrade? [04:08] this was a fresh install from a2? [04:08] you just filed bug 197847 right? [04:10] if that was a fresh install, then there will be no upgrade log (and we have bigger issues ) :) [04:11] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58211/ [04:11] yes 197847 [04:12] so was that a fresh install then? [04:12] or a 7.10->8.04 update? [04:12] yes [04:12] nope feash [04:12] fresh [04:12] okay then dont worry - you won't have a log for updates [04:12] but we have a bigger issue then [04:12] thanks for the report, hopefully we can nail it :) [04:13] let me know if there is anything else u might need [04:13] that's very bzr that you ran into it. on the alpha 3 live disk at least, the only kernel is the generi [04:14] i think it was alpha 2, might have been 1 [04:14] well we'll see if we can reproduce it [04:14] in anycase i installed same disk on 3 different machines [04:16] only one exhibited that problem [04:17] that makes it even weirder then. [04:17] do they all have intarweb access during install? [04:17] no none did, i have static ip network [04:18] so it couldn't have gotten the kernels from the intarweb [04:18] hm [04:18] hay thats a suggestion, on install maybe have a static setup section, like in ubuntu installs [04:19] live installs dont have that unfortunately [04:19] we're working on an alternate disk [04:19] that will be able to [04:19] that and LVM [04:20] well right after install i run the gui network config, then edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and add auto eth0 right over the eth0 entry [04:20] well the problem with the alternate disk install is that its SLOW [04:20] like really slow [04:20] then do the updates [04:20] it installs every package from the deb off the git go [04:21] ahh then, scracth that suggestion :) [04:22] i do like the fact that the installs when really fast [04:22] did u guys revamp the internal player? [04:23] we didn't, but upstream did :) [04:24] seems like video is much clearer [04:24] upstream is ubuntu developers? [04:28] well time for bed, night all [04:28] upstream is mythtv developers [04:28] okay night [04:28] we're ubuntu :) [09:25] need urgent help!! [09:25] does anyone know what causes schedules not to be saved?? [09:27] can anyone of you 20 plus people help [12:32] superm1: today's mythtv-frontend fails because of a wrong chmod command in mythtv-frontend.postinst [12:32] superm1: I commented out the line chmod 2775 "$dir" and the apt-get upgrade worked again [12:32] just fyi [12:36] ugh gosh. [12:36] thanks beavis [12:52] does anyone know anything about my earlier problem? [12:53] still there superm1? [12:54] i'm not sure of your problem DiggThis. :( [12:54] check the sql tables make sure don't need to be repaired? [12:54] the record schedules dont save... [12:54] weird [12:55] fixed sql but did not restart should i do that? [12:55] you may need to [12:55] ill try it now and get back to ya in a few mins [13:00] superm1: does not help still says you haven't scheduled any programmes. Any other advice? [13:00] look at the logs and see what its saying [13:00] if it cant save to the table, if the table is still marked broken [13:00] etc [13:00] its usually pretty good at telling you these things [13:01] superm1: what logs am i looking for? I am not a linux expert only newbie sorry [13:01] DiggThis, /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [13:01] that's always the first point to look at when things are failing like this [13:01] superm1: thx [13:05] superm1: k the line that stands out is mythsocket (b0b02458:-1): writeStringList: Error, called with unconnected socket. [13:05] dont understand [13:05] DiggThis, well what you can do is adjust the verbosity of that log [13:05] run mythbackend --help [13:06] and you can see what log options are available [13:06] then modify /etc/default/mythtv-backend [13:06] to add more log options [13:06] and restart it via /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart [13:06] and look at your log again [13:06] k [13:24] superm1: would MainServer::HandleAnnounce Monitor be it? [13:32] superm1: nothing is working!! [15:06] hello [15:06] any programmers here [15:07] thusfar i only programmed in php,, i want to learn programming in linux.. where do i have to start [15:08] ... probably start by going to a programming channel [15:08] that's generally sound advice [15:08] holoduke_: no java/c++ experience so far? [15:08] as is "buy a book on programming and work through it", and "pick a project to work on, and just do it, learning as you go" [15:09] yes i have c++ experience [15:09] but i want to improve the game part of mythtv [15:09] someparts can be automated very easy i think [15:09] so catch the mythtv code and try to hack something in :) [15:09] apt-get source mythgame, get cracking [15:09] sounds very good :) [15:10] You'll likely need build-essential, too. [15:10] yea. i am just wondering if the step isnt too high [15:11] Viaken, apt-get build-dep mythgame [15:13] one advantage of windows mediacenter is that you can do things together. For example. i wish i could listen music and watch pictures [15:13] now in mythtv it isnt possible [15:13] can be done on 0.21 [15:14] you mean that processes will keep running even when you go back in the main menu? [15:14] i mean mythmusic supports backgrounding when you go back to the main menu, yes [15:14] hmm nice [15:25] I'm having problems getting my Atheros card to connect to my WPA2 network. :\ [16:46] could you guys check if you also have a conflict inside /var/lib/python-support/python2.{4,5}/MythTV/MythDB.py which belong to libmyth-python? [16:47] I have something like <<<<<<<< .mine and >>>>>>>>>>> .r161333 in there [16:47] which results in [16:47] <<<<<<< .mine [16:47] ^ [16:47] SyntaxError: invalid syntax [17:04] http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_8_04_Alpha_3_Released <-- dig it chaps :) [17:50] What happened? It is very important to note that this release is not compatible with Mythbuntu 7.10 or any other MythTV 0.20.2 based distribution. [17:59] frank232, AFAIK different versions of MythTV have never been compatible [17:59] and 8.04 contains MythTV .21 [18:06] ah .21 is it supposed to be released soon? [18:08] yes [18:08] it's in FF and IIRC is supposed to be out this month [18:54] even minor, patch releases aren't neccessarily compatible [18:55] the real issue is the protocol version, and if there's a protocol bunp for any reason, then versions won't talk to each other [18:55] iirc the current svn snapshot in 8.04 uses protocol 40, but it was 39 a few weeks ago [19:09] directhex I think it was 39 at 0.20.99 and 40 at 0.21.0 [19:10] rhpot1991_laptop, i think that was just a package name change for debian policy reasons though, pretty sure the protocol bump is coincidence [19:10] quite possible [22:54] are there any plans to put the screen setup wizard in the mythtbuntu trunk repo? === foxbuntu___ is now known as foxbuntu [23:13] hey guys [23:20] jduggan, screen setup wizard? [23:24] tgm4883 when I use xine to tune in channels using the channels.conf file....I get all the channels but... [23:24] when I use the channels.conf file in mythtv ...it does tune all the channels.... [23:25] the channels I don't get in mythtv I use to get before I reloaded gusty [23:25] sorry...it doesn't tune aal the channels in mythtv [23:26] any ideas?
