| staind9383 | after the upgrade to .21, do i have to reconfigure my capture cards? | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| staind9383 | or card | 02:17 |
| staind9383 | so i was using firewire for cable capture... it was card 2 | 02:33 |
| staind9383 | after the update, i had to set up the firewire card again in the backend setup and now this new firewire is card 3 | 02:33 |
| staind9383 | and it does not work | 02:33 |
| staind9383 | :-/ | 02:33 |
| jamesd | has anyone tried to do a fresh install with the latest mythtv .21 parts... using an nvidia card, and closed source drives.. i can't get my upgraded system to play 1080i channels | 03:04 |
| staind9383 | anyone know how to get channel icon downloads working in .21? | 03:13 |
| staind9383 | the option is greyed out for me | 03:14 |
| tritium | Well, havign just gone through http://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=295, I can confirm that mythtv isn't populating my program listings properly from the schedules direct data. | 04:31 |

| sshirley | OMG!!!! | 05:42 |
| sshirley | I just upgraded from 0.20 to 0.21 and my system is all messed up! | 05:42 |
| superm1 | sshirley, hardy? | 05:44 |
| superm1 | i hope its not bug 201673 | 05:44 |
| superm1 | i just got hit by it myself... | 05:44 |

| sshirley | No. Less severe than that. | 05:48 |
| sshirley | MythVideo won't work and LiveTV plus recordings playback is choppy | 05:48 |
| sshirley | http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/322620?search_string=ZN18ConfigurationGroup6byNameE7QString;#322620 | 05:48 |
| rhpot1991 | sshirley: dpkg -l |grep myth | 05:49 |
| rhpot1991 | make sure mythvideo is the same version as everything else, if not sudo apt-get install mythvideo to force it to upgrade | 05:49 |
| rhpot1991 | what cpu does your box have? | 05:50 |
| sshirley | I have a dual-core AMD64 | 05:51 |
| superm1 | sshirley, well make sure on the versions | 05:51 |
| superm1 | that's the most common problem | 05:52 |
| sshirley | Hmmmmm....MythVideo is 0.20.2, MythDVD is 0.20.2 (I know it's going away anyways), mythstream is 0.18. I also have libmyth 0.20.0 AND 0.21.0 | 05:53 |
| sshirley | Plus some themes are different versions | 05:53 |
| superm1 | okay well install mythvideo | 05:53 |
| superm1 | it will remove mythdvd (it's integrated in mythvideo now) | 05:53 |
| sshirley | When I undated, I couldn't click the checkbox for MythVideo for whatever reason | 05:53 |
| sshirley | What about having 2 libmyth versions? | 05:54 |
| sshirley | updated | 05:54 |
| superm1 | it's because it didn't want to lte you remove mythdvd probably | 05:54 |
| superm1 | but it didn't know better:) | 05:54 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: should put a sticky about that somewhere, people seeing this problem a lot | 05:54 |
| superm1 | the 2 libmyth versions won't do anythign but waste space | 05:54 |
| rhpot1991 | want me to do a forum post about it? | 05:54 |
| sshirley | Ok, so from the command-line? | 05:54 |
| superm1 | i think there is a forum post about it | 05:55 |
| sshirley | rhpot1991: Please do | 05:55 |
| rhpot1991 | ok | 05:55 |
| rhpot1991 | just sticky it or something for the time being | 05:55 |
| * rhpot1991 doesn't check the forums enough | 05:55 | |
| sshirley | I also heard something about unchecking the nightly build backport repository | 05:55 |
| sshirley | ok, so from the command-line, how would i update mythvideo? | 05:56 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo apt-get install mythvideo | 05:56 |
| superm1 | sshirley, yes do uncheck the weekly build repo. you don't need it anymore | 05:56 |
| sshirley | also from the command-line how do i check which repositories i have? | 05:56 |
| javatexan | are you guys doing current dev against 7.10 or 8.04? | 05:58 |
| rhpot1991 | 8.04 | 05:58 |
| superm1 | sshirley, you'd edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:58 |
| javatexan | ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| sshirley | yes | 05:59 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: I don't understand what your asking | 05:59 |

| superm1 | please use that in the future | 06:00 |
| superm1 | but no you dont have any weekly stuff there | 06:00 |
| sshirley | Ok, sorry | 06:00 |
| javatexan | i am sorry bad question | 06:00 |
| javatexan | trying to get a dev vm setup and dont want to be behind...sorry | 06:01 |
| sshirley | Cool! | 06:01 |
| sshirley | I haven't said 'yes' yet, but by install mythvideo, it will remove mythdvd and upgrade mythvideo. Also by typing 'apt-get autoremove', it will remove libmyth-0.20 and mkisofs | 06:02 |
| sshirley | Don't I need mkisofs though? | 06:03 |
| superm1 | sshirley, you shouldn't | 06:03 |
| superm1 | and that's fine that you let it do that | 06:03 |
| superm1 | thats what has to happen for mythvideo to work | 06:04 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: you can do either mythbuntu or ubuntu, doesn't really matter | 06:05 |
| sshirley | I won't need mkisofs for MythArchive? | 06:05 |
| superm1 | unless you are making ISOs, no | 06:05 |
| javatexan | rhpot1991: okay... | 06:05 |
| sshirley | right.....true | 06:06 |
| javatexan | rhpot1991: which do you prefer for your work | 06:06 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: for example I do mythbuntu in my dev vm but ubuntu as my actual OS's and test everything all around | 06:06 |
| sshirley | But now that it has gotten rid of libmyth-0.20 I can reinstall mkisofs if i want to | 06:06 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: doesn't really matter, mythbuntu is built on ubuntu | 06:07 |
| javatexan | rhpot1991: cool...once you have ubuntu installed, you then install the control center and then the SVN or do you install just the SVN | 06:07 |
| sshirley | Does mythtv (or mythbuntu) take advantage of multi-core processors? | 06:08 |
| rhpot1991 | sshirley: 0.21 is supposed to | 06:08 |
| javatexan | i guess the db stuff will be easier installing mythtv all at once.....eh? | 06:08 |
| rhpot1991 | I couldn't tell you where the settings are | 06:08 |
| sshirley | Excellent!!!! So I should see some form of performance increase. | 06:08 |
| sshirley | Also the memory footprint has gone down, eh? | 06:09 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: I have just been running with the latest weekly trunk builds, but my stuff isn't really integrated into mythtv at this point | 06:09 |
| sshirley | rhpot1991: Believe me, I'll look for it! | 06:09 |
| sshirley | Ok....I'm going to reboot my mythbox and take a look. brb! | 06:09 |
| sshirley | Ok....MythVideo works now. Thanks! | 06:25 |
| sshirley | But LiveTV and recordings playback is still choppy | 06:25 |
| rhpot1991 | sshirley: try playing around with the playback profiles | 06:26 |
| rhpot1991 | they are new in 0.21 and your old settings are modified by them | 06:26 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles | 06:26 |
| sshirley | Yeah....I saw those. You mean like 'CPU+', 'CPU++', 'Normal', etc.? | 06:27 |
| rhpot1991 | yep, they added a few more on release as well | 06:27 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm running cpu+ with xvmc forced for HD | 06:27 |
| sshirley | Nice | 06:27 |
| rhpot1991 | cause I have a weak box now | 06:27 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd think you should be fine with out modifying it, but I'm not entirely sure | 06:28 |
| sshirley | I just have SD for right now but a good CPU (2.1Ghz dual-core AMD64) | 06:28 |
| rhpot1991 | maybe you have generic graphics drivers somehow? | 06:28 |
| sshirley | I tried normal as well but that didn't work (so I have only tried CPU+ and Normal) | 06:28 |
| sshirley | No....I recently installed drivers but they are using Mesa somehow and not OpenGL. I still haven't got that fixed. But it worked under 0.20.2 | 06:29 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like its defaulting to the generic drivers | 06:29 |
| rhpot1991 | check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 06:29 |
| rhpot1991 | would tell you if something was going wrong in there | 06:30 |

| sshirley | Ok | 06:37 |
| rhpot1991 | rule of thumb is if its longer than 3 lines put it in pastebin | 06:37 |
| sshirley | What kind of formatting | 06:37 |
| sshirley | syntax | 06:37 |
| rhpot1991 | people start to get angry if its spammy | 06:37 |
| rhpot1991 | bash, or leave it empty | 06:38 |
| rhpot1991 | doesn't really matter | 06:38 |
| sshirley | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59448/ | 06:38 |
| superm1 | sshirley, well it looks like you are missing the fglrx kernel module | 06:38 |
| superm1 | make sure that gets loaded | 06:38 |
| sshirley | superm1: With THAT kinda stuff I'm kinda n00b. How can I do that? | 06:39 |
| superm1 | sshirley, well unless you installed it some weird way, it should have been handled for you | 06:39 |
| superm1 | how did you install it? | 06:39 |
| sshirley | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.3_Driver_Manually | 06:42 |
| sshirley | xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version. | 06:43 |
| rhpot1991 | any reason why you didn't use the restricted driver manager? | 06:44 |
| sshirley | Because the restricted manager didn't have the latest version of the ati drivers for this new card | 06:45 |
| rhpot1991 | ah ok | 06:45 |
| sshirley | ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro | 06:45 |
| sshirley | But I think it's on actually. Hmmm. I might need to investigate that. | 06:46 |
| sshirley | I mean I believe the restricted manager is on | 06:46 |
| sshirley | I wonder if that would be in Ubuntu 8.10 | 06:47 |
| hugolp | I upgraded to .21 yesterday, and I have two isues | 06:47 |
| hugolp | while watching live tv the osd flickers | 06:47 |
| hugolp | thats in both my computers | 06:47 |
| hugolp | and also alt+tab does weird things while Mythtv is on (either using Qt and opengl) (Im using Compiz) | 06:48 |
| sshirley | Ok, rhpo1991....I gotta go to bed. Thanks for all your help! | 06:48 |
| rhpot1991 | np sshirley | 06:48 |
| rhpot1991 | hugolp: flickers like when it fades away? | 06:48 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991: its more like its not solid | 06:49 |
| hugolp | like its on and off really quick | 06:50 |
| hugolp | you dont see the on and off but feel theres flickering | 06:50 |
| hugolp | dont know if flicker is the righ word in english | 06:50 |
| hugolp | the osd is fine while using mythvideo | 06:51 |
| hugolp | and in the first seconds of watching livetv when the screen is black waiting for image, but as soon as image comes in, the osd flearkers | 06:51 |
| hugolp | flickers | 06:51 |
| hugolp | but only in live tv | 06:51 |
| rhpot1991 | hugolp: only osd things I know of is the osd fade checkbox under the playback profiles | 06:53 |
| rhpot1991 | you can try that, but it doesn't sound like your problem, it will studder when it goes to fade away | 06:53 |
| hugolp | no | 06:55 |
| hugolp | it sounds more like a bug | 06:55 |
| rhpot1991 | check the mailing list? | 06:55 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991: what improvements has .21 besides mythweb streaming? | 06:55 |
| rhpot1991 | hugolp: a lot | 06:55 |
| hugolp | cause I am thinking I might go back to .20 | 06:55 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991: like? | 06:55 |
| rhpot1991 | looking to see if I can find you a list | 06:56 |

| rhpot1991 | I'd say to post in the forums and on the mailing lists | 07:00 |
| rhpot1991 | and see if anyone has an answer, start filing bug reports if not | 07:00 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991: mythbuntu or mythtv directly? | 07:01 |
| rhpot1991 | for what the bugs? | 07:04 |

| Beanos | hello.. just installed mythtv on my ubuntu system and need some help, anyone game? | 15:36 |
| surlyjake | dish | 15:36 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | !ask | Beanos | 15:37 |
| ubotu | Beanos: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 15:37 |
| Beanos | roger.. I think I have't set up my mysql properly or something\when I run mythtv-setup it says can't read data base?\ | 15:37 |
| Beanos | as I said, I just installed | 15:37 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Beanos: maybe you set the mysql root password and are using that instead of the mythtv one? | 15:38 |
| Beanos | haven't done anything radical, just tried to run the setup program. Running kubuntu 7.10 | 15:38 |
| Beanos | no when installing it asked about setting a root pw for mysql, I left it blank | 15:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | ok, good | 15:38 |
| Beanos | do I need to initialize the db or something? | 15:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | are you sure you have the correct password for your mythtv mysql user then? | 15:39 |
| Beanos | not a clue how do I check? | 15:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | well first tell me this, what version of mythtv? | 15:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | dpkg -l mythtv-backend | 15:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | will tell you that | 15:40 |
| Beanos | standby | 15:40 |
| npurciful_ | superm1: you here man? | 15:41 |
| Beanos | is there a paste bin here? or just cut and paste to screen? | 15:41 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | !pastebin | Beanos | 15:41 |

| Beanos | thanks rhpot1991_laptop | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Beanos: in that version I believe there is an /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | check that | 15:43 |
| Beanos | ok on it standby in /etc? | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | /etc/mythtv | 15:43 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | should contain your mysql user and password | 15:44 |
| Beanos | rhpot1991_laptop http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59487/ | 15:45 |
| Beanos | so make sure its in the setup and I should be on my way? | 15:45 |
| Beanos | excellent | 15:45 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | yep | 15:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | also might not want to pastebin your passwords :P | 15:46 |
| Beanos | true, however.. the machine is standalone, if I get hacked oh well | 15:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Beanos: see if you can modify that pastebin to remove the password, just incase | 15:48 |
| Beanos | lol | 15:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | heh, ok | 15:48 |
| Beanos | It has happened, but on a web app | 15:49 |
| === npurciful_ is now known as npurciful | ||
| Beanos | and it works.. Just need to load the drivers for my carfds and I should be up and running | 15:59 |
| Beanos | any clue where to get the drivers for PVR-500 cards to run under ubuntu? | 16:02 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Beanos: should work out of the box | 16:02 |
| Beanos | hmm well wen I run the setup it dosn't see the video device | 16:03 |
| Beanos | do I need to create the devices? | 16:03 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | shouldn't need to | 16:03 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | try to sudo modprobe ivtv | 16:03 |
| Beanos | ok | 16:03 |
| Beanos | nad | 16:04 |
| Beanos | nada | 16:04 |
| Beanos | something she is missing? | 16:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | errored or ran without saying anything? | 16:04 |
| Beanos | ran without saying anything | 16:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | thats a good thing | 16:04 |
| Beanos | try to run setup again? | 16:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | try the setup again | 16:04 |
| Beanos | roger | 16:04 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991_laptop: I checked the forums yesterday and didnt find anything about ficklering in the osd, where should I report the bug? | 16:07 |
| Beanos | ok when I designate the capture device, it says failed to probe and no option to add like video0 or anything like that | 16:07 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hugolp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu | 16:07 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hugolp: did you post in the forum? | 16:08 |
| hugolp | rhpot1991_laptop: no | 16:08 |
| hugolp | should I? | 16:08 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hugolp: I'd do that first | 16:08 |
| hugolp | I was lazy cause the registering thing :-P | 16:08 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | might be a simple fix that someone in there could tell you | 16:09 |
| Beanos | I even tried to type /dev/video0 into the line, no joy | 16:10 |
| Beanos | I am missing smehting obviously | 16:10 |
| directhex|work | do you have a /dev/video0 and /dev/video1? | 16:11 |
| Beanos | ok in the /dev directory no video | 16:11 |
| Beanos | 1 2 or otherwise | 16:11 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | dmesg |grep ivtv | 16:12 |
| directhex|work | hm. and you modprobed ivtv? strange. pastebin the contents of "dmesg" | 16:12 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | and pastebin it | 16:12 |
| Beanos | ok | 16:12 |
| Beanos | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59490/ | 16:14 |
| Beanos | ok that is odd | 16:14 |
| Beanos | I have no firmware directory | 16:14 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | is your system up to date? | 16:14 |
| Beanos | I just installed the software (total install kubuntu 7.10 right before I installed myth | 16:15 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:15 |
| Beanos | seems the firmware on the capture card is the problem | 16:15 |
| directhex|work | odd, that file is 262144 bytes for me | 16:16 |
| Beanos | new version of myth? | 16:16 |
| directhex|work | it's in /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) | 16:16 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | directhex|work: I suspect that his box is out of date, if he just installed and didn't upgrade anything off of the cd | 16:16 |
| directhex|work | it's not part of myth, it's in the linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) package | 16:17 |
| Beanos | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59491/ | 16:18 |
| Beanos | well how is ythat for updated? | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | mine is 262144 as well | 16:18 |
| Beanos | I didn't install myth until I had already updated it all | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | maybe its a kubuntu issue? | 16:18 |
| directhex|work | kubuntu has the same kernel as ubuntu | 16:18 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | thats what I thought | 16:19 |
| Beanos | hmm I have nothing in my /lib/firmwatre directory | 16:19 |
| Beanos | I am guessing I need something in there? | 16:20 |
| frank_ | Beanos: do you have the linux-ubuntu-modules package installed? | 16:20 |
| directhex|work | Beanos, so install the linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) package | 16:20 |
| Beanos | Unknown if I have them installed | 16:20 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | try to install then | 16:20 |
| Beanos | apt-get install ??? | 16:20 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | what directhex|work said | 16:21 |
| directhex|work | actually, what kernel are you running? (uname -r) | 16:21 |
| directhex|work | you should really have the package already, courtesy of the linux-generic or linux-rt or whatever metapackage | 16:21 |
| directhex|work | whatever "uname -r" ends with, install "linux-foo", e.g. "linux-generic" | 16:22 |
| directhex|work | then try it again | 16:22 |
| Beanos | 2.6.22-14-generic | 16:22 |
| Beanos | well they are not installed | 16:26 |
| Beanos | when I look I get this | 16:26 |
| Beanos | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59493/ | 16:26 |
| Beanos | so off to find the meta-package | 16:26 |
| directhex|work | didn't i tell you to install linux-generic, like, 4 minutes ago? | 16:28 |
| Beanos | directhex|work I have it installed, just not the modules | 16:29 |
| directhex|work | Beanos, "dpkg -l linux-generic | grep ^ii" shows it's installed? | 16:30 |
| Beanos | directhex|work dpkg shows its not installed installing now | 16:32 |
| Beanos | well its installed, I suppose I need to reboot damn it. be back in a bit | 16:41 |
| tyce_ | anyone else realize that mythweb no longer posts the full url? so now after selecting a recording, you can't hit the back button and have to it go right back to the day and time you scheduling for? | 16:44 |

| copyofjohan | hi, i tried mythbuntu on hardy. Installed Hardy command-line system. Installed mythbuntu-desktop and mythtv-backend. now my problem: My HDD-access-led is blinking all the time. After stoping mythtv-backend this behavior disappears. IS that a bug?. | 22:22 |
| directhex | what kind of tv card are you using? | 22:23 |
| copyofjohan | hauppauge wintv pci | 22:23 |
| directhex | framegrabber? | 22:24 |
| copyofjohan | I dont know, I just installed like I said and did nothing else. | 22:25 |
| copyofjohan | how can I test? | 22:25 |
| directhex | analog card? dirt cheap? | 22:25 |
| copyofjohan | yeah sounds like my tvcard... | 22:26 |
| copyofjohan | not to forget: about 5 years old | 22:27 |
| directhex | hm. shouldn't be related then. the problem is definitely with the backend and not the frontend? | 22:28 |
| frank23 | somebody the other day was complaining about a big memory leak.... could be swap filling up? | 22:28 |
| copyofjohan | no, swap is empty. | 22:29 |
| frank23 | copyofjohan: is the backend running now? | 22:30 |
| copyofjohan | yes | 22:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | upnp? | 22:31 |
| hugolp | hi, when I change the go to settings -> aspect and re-render the them, then alt+tab starts doing very weird things (I am using copmiz) | 22:31 |
| hugolp | anyone having similar problem? | 22:31 |
| copyofjohan | directhex: Yes I think its the backend. When executing: "/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop" the blinkin stops. | 22:32 |
| directhex | tgm4883_laptop, not sure why the disk could be active for that though | 22:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | directhex, sec, i thought i remembered seeing a bug about that | 22:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or maybe that was just a memory leak too | 22:33 |
| rico42955 | ok ask about sasc here? | 22:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 22:34 |
| directhex | no | 22:34 |
| directhex | nor anywhere mythtv related. sasc is actively hated by all mythtv developers | 22:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can ask about it in #rico42955, although i'm not sure you will get much of an answer | 22:35 |
| rico42955 | i understand, so its not something needed to get mythtv working? | 22:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 22:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can run mythtv without it | 22:36 |
| copyofjohan | I think I found the Problem: mythtv cant connect to MYSQL-Server and is retrying all the time. | 22:36 |
| rico42955 | oh | 22:36 |
| directhex | it's needed to gain illegal access to stolen satellite signals, that's about it | 22:36 |
| rico42955 | ah i thought it might help me get mythtv working | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ? | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rico42955, is there a problem with your setup? | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | first^^ | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and second | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | why if you thought it would help get your mythtv setup working would you ask "ok ask about sasc here?" | 22:38 |
| rico42955 | i've installed it but don't have any short cuts to start it | 22:38 |
| rico42955 | from what i've been reading about it, yes i know it's nature, i was wondering if a part of it was needed to get a signal from my card | 22:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what card? | 22:40 |
| rico42955 | twinhan 102g | 22:40 |
| directhex | can't find any such card on twinhan.com | 22:42 |
| rico42955 | yeah i've noticed that, that's what the box says | 22:44 |
| directhex | also can't find any such identifier on http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TwinHan | 22:44 |
| rico42955 | its about 3 yrs old wondering if its the 1020 it does have the desc. of DST-03T | 22:49 |
| directhex | do you have a /dev/dvb/adapter0 folder? | 22:52 |
| rico42955 | uh yes | 22:53 |
| directhex | okay, the tv card is already working then, in theory | 22:53 |
| directhex | so set it up in mythtv-setup | 22:54 |
| ahave | hello room. could someone advise me on hardware recomendations (on what to avoid) for an upcoming mythtv project? | 22:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | avoid ati | 22:56 |
| ahave | my last custom linux box (car pc) i ended up getting not so nice hardware | 22:56 |
| rico42955 | i have tried, it sees the card | 22:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ahave, what do you plan on doing with it | 22:57 |
| ahave | tgm4883, HD video play back mostly | 22:57 |
| ahave | off network of blueray dvd | 22:57 |
| ahave | tgm4883, cable cards and such might be added at a later date. but for now it will just be a movie media box | 22:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC anything dual core should be able to handle that | 22:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | grab an nvidia 7 or 8 and you should be good to go | 22:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's been awhile since i built a machine | 22:59 |
| directhex | rico42955, run through mythtv-setup. complete ALL STEPS, IN ORDER. | 22:59 |
| directhex | rico42955, make sure you set up the diseqc settings correctly (i.e. tell it you have no diseqc switch if you have no diseqc switch) | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rico42955, what do you have hooked up to your card? | 23:00 |
| directhex | i don't know the specifics on diseqc config | 23:00 |
| ahave | tgm4883_laptop, what about motherboards? anychip sets better than others? | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | err | 23:00 |
| directhex | ahave, intel's best. nvidia next | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i want to say i've heard bad tings about via chipsets | 23:00 |
| directhex | ahave, beyond that, whatever - there's much suck | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | follow what directhex said | 23:01 |
| directhex | tgm4883, their modern chipsets are fine. it's the athlon era they sucked | 23:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 23:01 |
| rico42955 | I have the card cabled to an old primestar dish | 23:01 |
| ahave | not to start an intel vs amd war.. but for video codec ... what is a better choice? | 23:02 |
| * tgm4883_laptop prefers his C2D | 23:02 | |
| rhpot1991 | c2d tests better, but is it worth 2x as much is the question | 23:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dont listen to rhpot1991, he is a hippy | 23:11 |
| rhpot1991 | with a pretty new amd x2 5000+ | 23:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nice | 23:12 |
| directhex | depends on what your minmum requirements are | 23:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | beats my 3800+ | 23:12 |
| ahave | blueray playbac | 23:13 |
| directhex | to do european hd, for example, will take at least a 1.8ghz core 2 duo - or about 2.4ghz of amd | 23:13 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883_laptop: newegg had 6400+'s on sale for a great price, I wanted one | 23:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'm also sure that amd has caught up by now, but it's really nice that on my C2D the fan barely runs | 23:13 |
| rhpot1991 | but it needs 2x the cooling power and finding a cpu cooler for the antec fusion is a pain already | 23:13 |
| directhex | blu-ray will need a decent cpu | 23:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rhpot1991, see, thats why you need a cooler cpu | 23:13 |
| rhpot1991 | also worth nothing I have some amd and intc stock, and intc is destroying it | 23:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like mine, it has a racing stripe and a fin | 23:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I should really run some sort of benchmark on mine, see how they compare | 23:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rather than how it feels | 23:14 |
| directhex | tgm4883_laptop, depends on the app. 25% faster on intel in most cases | 23:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nice | 23:15 |
| rhpot1991 | directhex there are certain apps the amd cpu's are better at though | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | directhex, while thats true, it would be nice to know which of my 2 systems are better. Heck, i dont even know if the two processors are in the same class | 23:16 |
| directhex | rhpot1991, sure. 99% ram-bound apps, such as modelsim | 23:16 |
| rhpot1991 | and there is always that price difference | 23:16 |
| directhex | on paper, intel is twice as fast per clock than amd (and only 50% faster for phenom). in practice, that difference is less | 23:17 |
| rhpot1991 | it was $100+ for me to take a step back in the power and get a c2d instead, plus not as nice of a board | 23:17 |

| ed3120 | I just did a reinstall of 8.04A2 and I want to import my db. When I perform sudo mysql -u mythtv -p 'drop database mythconverg' (the first step of importing the database) I get ERROR 1049 (42000) after entering the correct password | 23:37 |
| ed3120 | a google search says it's a privilege issue, but I'm running it as sudo? | 23:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ed3120, get a newer alpha | 23:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the current one is alpha 4 | 23:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | secondly | 23:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your problem is the -p, and the sudo | 23:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | first question | 23:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you make a password for the root mysql user? | 23:39 |
| ed3120 | no i did not ...this is a fresh install. | 23:40 |
| directhex | then don't use -p | 23:40 |
| directhex | or -u mythtv, infact | 23:40 |
| ed3120 | should i still use sudo? | 23:40 |
| directhex | just use "sudo mysql" | 23:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and probably not sudo | 23:40 |
| ed3120 | hmmm | 23:41 |
| ed3120 | i tried: mysql 'drop database mythconverg' | 23:41 |
| ed3120 | i tried: mysql -u mythtv 'drop database mythconverg' | 23:42 |
| ed3120 | sudo mysql -u mythtv 'drop database mythconverg' | 23:42 |
| directhex | so every combo except the one i suggested! | 23:42 |
| ed3120 | sudo mysql 'drop database mythconverg' | 23:42 |
| Alowishus | no need for sudo since Linux permissions don't play into the equation | 23:42 |
| directhex | Alowishus, sue they do. uid0 gets full passwordless root access to mysql on ubuntu systems | 23:42 |
| ed3120 | directhex - you mean just go in with "sudo mysql" and run commands from there? | 23:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ed3120, is this db from a .20 install? | 23:43 |
| Alowishus | mysql -umythtv 'drop database mythconverg' | 23:43 |
| Alowishus | umm oh wait, -uroot probably | 23:43 |
| Alowishus | directhex: but you can lie and do 'mysql -uroot' too, no? | 23:43 |
| directhex | Alowishus, try it. | 23:44 |
| ed3120 | ok.... "mysql -uroot 'drop database mythconverg'" gave me something | 23:44 |
| ed3120 | error 1049 (42000) | 23:44 |
| ed3120 | "mysql -umythtv 'drop database mythconverg'" didn't work | 23:45 |
| directhex | ed3120, do me a favour and do "show databases" | 23:45 |
| Alowishus | directhex: yeah, has nothing to do with acutal Unix user id | 23:45 |
| Alowishus | directhex: mysql -uroot gives me full passwordless root access | 23:45 |
| Alowishus | directhex: even when run from my standard user account | 23:45 |
| directhex | how deliciously secure | 23:46 |
| Alowishus | directhex: hehe it's definitely not, but that's just how MySQL works... out of the box, the root user account is passwordless... msot distros will set up a big WARNING telling you to set one, and I think Ubuntu generally does that with debconf | 23:46 |
| ed3120 | mysql> show databases; | 23:46 |
| ed3120 | just returns: | 23:47 |
| ed3120 | Database | 23:47 |
| ed3120 | information_schmema | 23:47 |
| Alowishus | ed3120: you could always bypass the drop crap and just do 'mysqladmin -uroot drop mythconverg' | 23:47 |
| directhex | ed3120, guess why you can't drop mythconverg then | 23:47 |
| Alowishus | err bypass the mysql command line client I mean | 23:47 |
| ed3120 | i'm guessing because it isn't there? | 23:48 |
| directhex | ed3120, you guess correctly. that was always the problem. that's what error 1049 is | 23:48 |
| ed3120 | so now i'm trying: "mysql -umythtv 'create database mythconverg'" | 23:49 |
| ed3120 | error again | 23:49 |
| Alowishus | mythtv user probably can't create databases | 23:50 |
| ed3120 | i'm just trying to follow the db restore at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/WhatNext/Feisty | 23:50 |
| Alowishus | try "mysql -uroot 'create database mythconverg'" | 23:50 |
| ed3120 | error 1049 (42000): unknown database 'create database mythconverg' | 23:51 |
| Alowishus | ah | 23:51 |
| Alowishus | that makes sense | 23:51 |
| Alowishus | the mysql command line expects you to give it a db name before operatinons | 23:51 |
| Alowishus | try | 23:51 |
| Alowishus | mysql -uroot mysql 'create database mythconverg' | 23:52 |
| Alowishus | alternately | 23:52 |
