pammyodd problem here my tv guide shows "unknown" for all channels and dates02:39
pammyhow can i update the guide from command line02:39
superm1hey kids someone want to help me with an experiment?04:02
npurcifulhey like what04:05
superm1okay so here's the low down.04:05
superm1network manager comes up a little later than mythbackend does in some cases04:05
superm1so people run into issues on slave backends04:05
superm1or when they have say a hd home run04:06
superm1so i was proposing an if-up-down script that would restart mythbackend if it caught networkmanager playing funny business.04:06
superm1follow that?04:06
npurcifulyeh04:06
npurcifuli just got my HDHR working like 2 hours ago04:07
superm1does that affect you at elver?04:07
superm1ever even04:07
npurcifuli have seen it yet04:07
npurcifuli am using dhcp direct connect04:07
superm1okay very good04:08
npurcifulbut i was reading about it may be a issue04:08
superm1so you still use network manager then right?04:08
npurcifulyeah04:08
superm1okay then i'm going to have you drop this script in place04:08
superm1and restart the machine04:08
superm1if mythbackend comes up right, nothing broke04:08
superm1if it didn't, u can remove the script04:08
superm1and pretend like it never happened04:08
npurcifulokay04:08

superm1well all artwork is kept in those branches, and any images available on the website are already available at full resolution from the website09:05
famicomas well as posting transponder lists and xmltv listing09:05
superm1so hopefully that should be enough to get you going09:05

MythbuntuGuest15Hey guys, having some issues with my DViCO IR, anyone care to offer some insight?13:14
=== MythbuntuGuest15 is now known as Nasha
npurcifulhello, i cant seem to get my IR to work on HDhomerun, anyone willing to help15:15
rhpot1991_laptopnpurciful: have you tried posting in the forums about it?15:25
npurcifulmo not yet15:28
npurcifuli tried seaching15:29
rhpot1991_laptopI'd try that, you would have better luck getting a response in there than in here15:29
npurcifuli thinking the signal isnt even making it out of my hdhr15:29
rhpot1991_laptopunless you can find someone in here who has a HDHR15:30
rhpot1991_laptopyou can try #mythtv-users as well15:30
npurcifulwell superm1has one15:31
npurcifulguess he isnt in right now15:32
superm1ive never used the ir in mine15:32
superm1there is  how to somewhere for it15:32
superm1that involves setting up lirc for udp15:32
superm1i want to say15:32
npurcifulyeah, hdhomerun <ID> set /ir/target "<IP>:5000 no_clear"15:33
npurcifulthe start lircd in udp mode, be it never gets the signal15:33
superm1wireshark it15:38
npurcifuli have a usb reciever15:39
npurcifuli just wanted to use the builtin on that was already there15:40

npurcifulnope just kidding usb recevier was pugged in16:16
npurcifulokay now it is working thanks for the tip on wireshark superm1!16:18
npurcifulbrb going to reboot see it still works16:23
npurcifulgood deal it still works16:33
ViakenI have tried everything I know how to, but I still can't get my box to connect to my wireless network reliably. Using WPA2 on a WRT54G with an Atheros AR5212/AR5213 card. NetworkManager worked reliably, but I'd prefer to avoid having to put in the password to unlock the keyring every boot.17:24
ViakenI've tried setting it up by hand in /etc/network/interfaces and by using gnome-network-preferences.17:25
ViakenAny suggestions?17:25
rhpot1991_laptopViaken: when you set it up in /etc/network/interfaces you need to make another file, let me check my box17:25
rhpot1991_laptopViaken: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26313617:27
rhpot1991_laptopthats how mine is done17:27
rhpot1991_laptopactually this is a better link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834&highlight=wpa+supplicant+wext17:28
ViakenAh! Figures there'd be something I was missing. :)17:29
rhpot1991_laptopyou can put a wep right into interfaces17:30
rhpot1991_laptopbut wpa needs the wpa_supplicant file17:30
frank_It would be nice if mythbuntu could include network-manager with some sort of automatic connection once you set it up17:32
adaptrwhaddayamean17:33
rhpot1991_laptopfrank_ I believe there was some sort of method of bypassing the password prompt, but I think it broke in gutsy17:33
rhpot1991_laptopI've always just done my work in network/interfaces so I'm not really sure other than what I've read on the wiki17:33
frank_call me lazy but it really frustrates me to edit files to setup networking ;-)17:35
adaptrfrank_: why would you do that ? NMapplet works fine17:35
frank_adaptr: is it installed in mythbunt?17:36
frank_mythbunut?17:36
ViakenI think so?17:36
frank_mythbuntu there17:36
adaptrjust enable xubuntu desktop and you'll have a full desktop with applications17:36
adaptrrunning mythtv without a desktop is a pain17:36
rhpot1991_laptopadaptr: not really17:37
adaptryes, really17:37
frank_Yeah but I don't have a wired connection to install that after a mythbuntu install17:37
adaptroh , I could SSH and arrange it to my liking, but there's still quite a bit of cusomization required17:37
rhpot1991_laptopfrank_: you can install anything over wifi17:37
rhpot1991_laptopadaptr: I prefer to do everything in ssh17:38
adaptrmplayer config, mounting my half a dozen NASen17:38
rhpot1991_laptopdrop those NAS into /etc/fstab17:38
adaptrrunning like a baby to IMDB as soon as I start wondering about something :)17:38
rhpot1991_laptopthen they will mount on boot17:38
adaptrrhpot1991_laptop: I need to set them up ONCE17:38
adaptrduh17:38
adaptrplus, the audio "player" is utter crap and unusable - my brain needs amaroK17:39
frank_rhpot1991_laptop: What I can't do: Install mythbuntu, set up networking with WPA using gui with the packages installed17:39
rhpot1991_laptopall my mythboxes are only attached to TV's though, so I don't go using them for anything else17:39
ViakenIt seems gnome-network-preferences keeps setting wpa-proto as WPA instead of RSN...17:51
ViakenRegardless of which WPA version I choose in the GUI>17:51
rhpot1991_laptopViaken: there is a file you need to delete17:51
Viakendelete?17:51
rhpot1991_laptopsuperm1 knows what it is17:51
rhpot1991_laptopya gnome saves that stuff somewhere, you  need to delete it17:51
Viakenah17:51
rhpot1991_laptopits somewhere under a .g* folder17:51
Viaken~/.config somewhere, maybe?17:51
Viakenah17:51
rhpot1991_laptopthere is a profiles folder and you need to find the one that applies to that and get rid of it17:52
ViakenThanks for the help. :)17:52
rhpot1991_laptopbackup first17:52
ViakenOf course17:52
rhpot1991_laptopincase you delete too much17:52
ViakenI usually "mv .folder{,.old}"17:52
ViakenOH! You mean the mythtv user needs READ rights, as well as execute, in order to use the directv.pl script? :P So that's why the recordings were failing! *facepalm*19:05
kjetil_I bumped into two issues when ripping a DVD, don't know if I should report the issues somewhere?19:15
=== kjetil_ is now known as KjetilK
KjetilKthe path was /var/lib/mythtv/videos/ in one config and /var/lib/mythtv/video/ in another19:16
KjetilKand then, I had no script to start mtd19:19
ViakenWhen is automated transcoding supposed to take place?19:27
ViakenNevermind... *goes to search the dogs*19:27
Viakendocs*19:27

tgm4883_laptopno23:10
Egghead3found my problem with pvr-150 not being recognized, agin after update my grub defaulted to 11-386 kernel, just change it to 11-generica and all is well again23:10
tgm4883_laptoprico42955, is this a single system setup?23:11
rico42955single as in front and back on one pc, yes, or dual boot?23:12
epilidoI made a backup of my saved shows by backing up the directory.  now after a new install can i import the old data so that the new install sees the files??? I can record shows currently but cant seem to figure how to get the old stuff back??23:20
tgm4883_laptopepilido, did you back up your db?23:21
tgm4883_laptoprico42955, front and backend23:21
epilidodo I did not back up the db on the backend.  the back end was the reinstall23:21
directhexthere's a script in contrib to do it23:22
directhexbut messy messy23:22
epilidomessy enough to just pitch the previous recording their not that big of a deal but I would like them??23:24
frank23I'm trying to setup a combined frontend/backend in kubuntu hardy desktop. I used mythbuntu-control-centre to install the backend and frontend. Now I'm in the backend setup database configuration and it says "Cannot login to database?"23:25
frank23not sure what to try next.  the password is the right one that was created randomly23:26
