| ed3120 | it says db has new schema than expected when i start the frontend | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Alowishus | newer?? | 00:00 |
| ed3120 | i did an update at one point so i think my db backup was alpha 3 | 00:00 |
| Alowishus | oh | 00:00 |
| Alowishus | umm not sure how to deal with that | 00:00 |
| Alowishus | can you just update to 0.21 now? | 00:00 |
| ed3120 | i assume if i do an update now...i'll shoot straight from alpha 2 to alpha 4 | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | what version of the frontend are you running? | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | ed3120: you are thinking of it the wrong way | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | they contained trunk builds of 0.21 | 00:01 |
| ed3120 | the default in 8.04 alpha 2 | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | if you upgrade now, you get the final build of 0.21 | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | as far as mythtv goes | 00:01 |
| rhpot1991 | no reason not to upgrade | 00:01 |
| ed3120 | but will it be able to pull in the older db? | 00:01 |
| Alowishus | yes, db gets updated automatically | 00:02 |
| Alowishus | it's just going backward that's a problem :) | 00:02 |
| ed3120 | ok, i'll go for it | 00:02 |
| ed3120 | by the way ...you guys are great....i really appreciate it | 00:02 |
| rhpot1991 | well make sure you make a backup first | 00:02 |
| rhpot1991 | but ya, they should upgrade automagically | 00:02 |
| ed3120 | my mythbuntu was running great...but there is a flaw in mcc that when you update your mythweb password, it blanks it out | 00:03 |
| ed3120 | (yes, i filed a bug report) | 00:03 |
| rhpot1991 | ed3120: well that version is old, unless you upgraded it via apt | 00:04 |
| ed3120 | anyway, my mythweb was passwordless for a few days and someone on the internet found it and when into the config and destroyed my settings | 00:04 |
| ed3120 | and deleted all my recordings | 00:05 |
| ed3120 | luckily i have the backup db | 00:05 |
| a1fa | lol | 00:05 |
| a1fa | why did u open it to the net? | 00:05 |
| rhpot1991 | whats the point of mythweb if not to open it up to the net? | 00:06 |
| ed3120 | mythweb was open so i can schedule recordings - doesn't everyone use that? | 00:06 |
| a1fa | lol vpn? ssh tunnel | 00:06 |
| a1fa | etc | 00:06 |
| rhpot1991 | and to watch tv on your lunch break | 00:06 |
| a1fa | yeah | 00:06 |
| ed3120 | its fine assuming you set a password....which i did, but MCC ate it for some reason | 00:06 |
| a1fa | but i got a vpn | 00:06 |
| a1fa | and ssh | 00:06 |
| a1fa | so i can tunnel port 80 to my server | 00:06 |
| a1fa | lol | 00:06 |
| a1fa | newb mistake | 00:06 |
| a1fa | you wont do it again | 00:07 |
| rhpot1991 | ed3120: run http on a differnt port help | 00:07 |
| rhpot1991 | I run mine open to the interweb, but not on 80 | 00:07 |
| ed3120 | i know, but the key here is that the password was erased automatically...i wouldn't call it my mistake...but it's alpha software so i can't complain :) | 00:08 |
| copyofjohan | I found another problem: didnt install mysql-server and mythtv-database. I thougt mythbuntu-desktop includes these. So now I installed everything and configuerd it. looks quiet well. Now when I want to start mythtv I get this error:"TV Error: Failed to get recording show list" whats my problem? | 00:18 |
| mkargar | hello | 00:25 |
| mkargar | what in path of recording video in mythtv? | 00:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | huh? | 00:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ | 00:27 |
| rhpot1991 | thats the default, you can set it to anywhere you want in the setup menu | 00:28 |
| mkargar | very very thanks my friend! | 00:28 |
| mkargar | in setup menu? | 00:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in mythtv-setup | 00:29 |
| mkargar | please guide me?(i'm newbie in mythtv!) | 00:29 |
| mkargar | how to changing path of record in mythtv-setup?which section? | 00:33 |
| rhpot1991 | mkargar: I think its under general | 00:33 |
| rhpot1991 | can't check cause my backend is recording | 00:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's under storage groups in .21 isn't it | 00:35 |
| rhpot1991 | you'd know that better than I would, I haven't used them yet | 00:37 |
| mkargar | i checking general section and storage group!all path was wrong! | 00:42 |
| mkargar | anybody here? | 00:46 |

| camelreef | good morning from Scotland | 07:17 |
| camelreef | superm1, ? | 07:18 |
| superm1 | hey camelreef a little late. i'm headed to bed :) | 07:21 |
| camelreef | ah | 07:21 |
| camelreef | just a quicky | 07:21 |
| superm1 | sure | 07:22 |
| camelreef | you take care of the ipod-convenience | 07:22 |
| camelreef | do you own an iPod Touch ? | 07:22 |
| superm1 | yup | 07:22 |
| camelreef | I'm looking for one good experience with Linux to find an excuse to buy one | 07:23 |
| superm1 | well once it's jailbroken it's great | 07:23 |
| superm1 | i'd never buy one and keep factory firmware | 07:23 |
| camelreef | including videos ? | 07:23 |
| superm1 | yeah i had videos working | 07:23 |
| superm1 | with gtkpod-aac | 07:23 |
| camelreef | jailbreak is a given | 07:23 |
| camelreef | oko, enough for me | 07:23 |
| superm1 | you just need to transcode to the proper format | 07:23 |
| camelreef | thanks | 07:23 |
| camelreef | and good night | 07:23 |
| superm1 | well one sec | 07:23 |
| camelreef | ok | 07:23 |
| superm1 | minor warning, that transcoding can be finicky | 07:23 |
| camelreef | I've read that | 07:24 |
| superm1 | so you need to use atomicparsley | 07:24 |
| camelreef | ok | 07:24 |
| superm1 | and mythexport | 07:24 |
| superm1 | to do myth transcodes | 07:24 |
| superm1 | you can use handbrake for general stuff | 07:24 |
| superm1 | i used handbrake with mine | 07:24 |
| superm1 | for transcoding a dvd | 07:24 |
| camelreef | ok | 07:24 |
| superm1 | rhpot wrote the stuff for mythexport though | 07:24 |
| camelreef | thanks | 07:24 |
| superm1 | so if you've got trouble, both of us are here :) | 07:25 |
| camelreef | excellent, 32 GB, here I come | 07:25 |
| superm1 | hehe | 07:25 |
| camelreef | (plus I have a $100 gift card) | 07:25 |
| superm1 | have fun with it | 07:25 |
| superm1 | i notice i barely use mine for "music and video" | 07:25 |
| superm1 | i installed last.fm on it | 07:25 |
| superm1 | and use it when walking the dog close enough to the appt and web browsing | 07:25 |
| camelreef | I have normal IPods (nanos), the ability to extend and wi-fi are tempting | 07:26 |
| superm1 | my friends tell me i'm the most connected person they know | 07:26 |
| superm1 | and this is part of it | 07:26 |
| camelreef | no surprise | 07:26 |
| camelreef | I tend to be the same | 07:26 |
| superm1 | when i took a cruise for a week, it was honestly really hard to not be able to check mail inbetween waiting for food | 07:27 |
| superm1 | or similar | 07:27 |
| superm1 | :) | 07:27 |
| camelreef | yup | 07:30 |
| camelreef | I'm always lugging the big laptop | 07:30 |
| camelreef | even on vacation, to my wife's horror | 07:30 |
| camelreef | I have my own hosted mail server so I can have mail freedom and universal access | 07:32 |
| superm1 | ah both a blessing and a curse then | 07:32 |
| camelreef | a bit, yeah | 07:33 |
| camelreef | Touch does IMAP/SSL, huh ? | 07:33 |
| camelreef | and SMTP/TLS ? | 07:33 |
| superm1 | never really looked much into it. it does my gmail w/ imap | 07:34 |
| superm1 | so that makes me happy nough | 07:35 |
| camelreef | I have about 16 cores and 25 GB of RAM spread over the house, and a few TB computing-wise | 07:35 |
| camelreef | strangely enough, I want to keep my cell phone simple | 07:35 |
| camelreef | I don;t want a PDA/phone | 07:35 |
| camelreef | I don;t like to use phones too much either | 07:36 |
| superm1 | ah well then you're not as connected as me then | 07:36 |
| superm1 | i'll probably end up with a crackberry later this year when my phone contract with this current phone is up | 07:36 |
| camelreef | I like to keep a minimal space of disconnection | 07:36 |
| camelreef | that's one thing you will never see me with, a crackberry | 07:37 |
| superm1 | i've resisted it too, but only to have an internet plan on my crappy phone | 07:37 |
| superm1 | that is really slow | 07:37 |
| superm1 | and painful to use | 07:37 |
| hitme666 | any1 know the Jetway MiniQ Twin Barebone system, espectly the IR Device ... | 07:37 |
| camelreef | the "sent using my blackberry" in the sig is usually a sign that the message will be rubbish, probably written fromthe toilet in a hurry | 07:37 |
| superm1 | well in any which case though, i'm gonna hit the sack | 07:38 |
| superm1 | night camelreef | 07:38 |
| superm1 | sorry hitme666 not familiar | 07:38 |
| camelreef | I have internet on my phone, Opera installed on it, rarely use it | 07:38 |
| camelreef | sometimes for Google maps, or with the latop using bluetooth in a bind | 07:39 |
| camelreef | night Mario | 07:39 |
| camelreef | hitme666, nope, nt familiar | 07:39 |

| sonium | how do I setup the channels? e.g. entering the channel name and so on? | 11:48 |
| sonium | I don't find it in the install guide | 11:48 |
| directhex|work | run mythtv-setup. run all five steps IN ORDER. the channel editor is one of the steps | 11:50 |
| sonium | Is there an option to preview the channel so I can have a look at the channel logo? | 11:51 |
| directhex|work | from mythtv-setup? no | 11:51 |
| directhex|work | sorry | 11:51 |
| sonium | and how am I supposed to find out? | 11:52 |
| sonium | hrm... | 11:53 |
| directhex|work | mythweb allows for some editing of channel data, you could run the frontend and have mythweb's channel editor open on another machine | 11:53 |
| [_Snarf_] | Alright, I'm having some trouble setting up transcoding.. I just installed 7.10 and upgraded to .21... where do I go to configure transcoding at? | 12:27 |
| iulius | I'm patching the lirc source as described in http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Remote_Wonder_Plus but I have several lirc packages install (using mythbuntu). Do I need to remove all of them before I make install? | 14:16 |
| iulius | Seems like there are a few dependencies I would lose as well if I erased the lirc package | 14:17 |
| directhex|work | did you try it as-is? | 14:19 |
| iulius | Not yet | 14:19 |
| iulius | Wanted to be cautious before I borked my install | 14:19 |
| directhex|work | generally, avoid make install. if you want to replace packages, modify the packages | 14:23 |
| directhex|work | apt-get build-dep lirc && apt-get source lirc && cd lirc* && patch -p0 < /path/to/patch.diff && dpkg-build-package -us -uc -rfakeroot | 14:23 |
| directhex|work | you really should edit debian/changelog and bump the version number too | 14:24 |
| iulius | Thanks - I'll give that a try | 14:28 |
| superm1 | iulius, are you on hardy or gutsy? | 14:29 |
| iulius | Gutsy | 14:29 |
| superm1 | there is another method available now that is even easier than that... | 14:29 |
| superm1 | okay | 14:29 |
| superm1 | it's worth a shot at least :) | 14:29 |
| superm1 | grab lirc-modules-source from hardy | 14:30 |
| [_Snarf_] | Where do I go to set up transcoding? For some reason, if I attempt to transcode a video I've recorded via the mythweb, it comes back with "Autodetect (exit status 255, job status was "Errored")" | 14:30 |
| superm1 | and patch /usr/src/lirc-VER | 14:31 |
| superm1 | in that folder | 14:31 |
| === [_Snarf_] is now known as TehSnarf | ||
| directhex|work | superm1, looks like a crap patch to me - think it'll break regular remote wonder support :/ | 14:33 |
| superm1 | directhex|work, well this is a local patch :) | 14:33 |
| directhex|work | for local people! | 14:34 |
| Koffa | whoa | 16:14 |
| Koffa | 0.21 had some performance tweaks too? | 16:14 |
| Koffa | one channel fullscreen, one PIP and one watched live via another computer -- the load is insignificant... 0.20 only supported one channel at a time and caused bigger load | 16:15 |
| frank_ | Koffa: nice. I know that frontend can use much less memory depending on theme and resolution | 16:20 |
| Koffa | I like the UI-changes too (mostly... didn't like the new default(?) '6 round images' navigation though) | 16:21 |
| Koffa | but eg. mythweb seems better | 16:21 |
| Koffa | how can I force scan = progressive for good for all channels? | 16:22 |
| Koffa | all other video scans flicker a lot | 16:22 |
| Koffa | is the PIP-size configurable? | 16:57 |
| Koffa | didn't find it | 16:57 |
| pdragon | is anyone else getting slow script errors in firefox with the new mythweb? | 17:11 |
| pdragon | or, not errors. just the popup box asking if you want them to continue | 17:12 |
| rhpot1991 | pdragon: I do sometimes | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | I think normally when I have a lot of tabs opened | 17:14 |
| Koffa | them? | 17:16 |
| Koffa | javascript? | 17:16 |
| rhpot1991 | ya | 17:17 |
| rhpot1991 | it asks you if you want to stop the script | 17:17 |
| rhpot1991 | pdragon: I have noticed if I tell it to stop the script it seems to finish whatever it was supposed to be doing | 17:17 |
| Koffa | it still works with lynx, right?-) | 17:18 |
| Koffa | scheduling etc | 17:18 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure | 17:19 |
| Koffa | the killer-app for htpc was remote usability | 17:35 |
| Koffa | seems to work with Links... | 17:37 |
| Koffa | <3 | 17:37 |
| Koffa | 2008-03-14 19:46:38.078 Received a remote 'Clear Cache' request | 17:47 |
| Koffa | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 17:47 |
| pdragon | sorry, had to step ot | 18:07 |
| pdragon | out | 18:07 |
| pdragon | yeah, if i tell it to continue it works fine. | 18:07 |
| pdragon | just wondering what might be causing it. looked up some stuff about it and they said it's something in firefox that tries to stop scripts stuck in a loop | 18:08 |
| alanbshepard70 | I just downloaded the mythbuntu 7.10 release and when I boot it up I get a command prompt beginning with (intitramfs). Is this normal? How do I install it? | 18:11 |
| TehSnarf | Where can I find some settings for decent transcoding profiles? | 18:21 |
| alanbshepard70 | Ok since I couldn't get mythbuntu to boot I checked md5 and the hashes are different because of that I was going to try the torrent download instead of a direct download but the torrent link says torrent not found. Any have some suggestions? | 18:27 |
| Koffa | how long should it take to fill the program guide? | 18:36 |
| Koffa | upgrade nuked it and now I'm missing even some data not more than 20 minutes from now | 18:37 |

| camelreef | good evening from scotland | 18:38 |
| camelreef | is there someone atm with xmltv knowledge? | 18:39 |
| camelreef | evening tgm4883 | 18:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | hi | 18:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | morning | 18:40 |
| camelreef | I must be an idiot, as I have trouble wrapping my mind around XMLTV and MythTV when thousands are doing it | 18:41 |
| * tgm4883_laptop_ doesn't use xmltv | 18:42 | |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | bah | 18:42 |
| camelreef | I have my dvb-s card created | 18:42 |
| camelreef | I created a new video source and set the channels I am receiving | 18:43 |
| camelreef | I have attached the video source to the capture device | 18:43 |
| camelreef | and now I fail to understand mythfilldatabase --manual | 18:43 |
| camelreef | how do I match my tuned channels to the XMLTV channels? | 18:44 |
| Koffa | hmm.. my transcoding started working on upgrade :D | 18:53 |
| Koffa | that's nice... I was running out of space already :} | 18:53 |
| pdragon | oh nice. finally reading through all .21 options. that option to turn off livetv recording after a set idle time will be nice o.o | 19:04 |
| pdragon | accidentally left that running a few times and filled the drive | 19:04 |
| TehSnarf | Anyone have any suggestions as to some transcoding settings? for like, high/medium/low? Right now they're all set to the same thing and I've no idea where to even begin adjusting the levels to | 19:10 |
| pdragon | not myself. don't do much transcoding | 19:10 |
| TehSnarf | pits | 19:10 |
| Koffa | uuh... that flash-player should be nice -- with N800 :} | 19:17 |
| Koffa | anyone tried livetv on some sort of ramdisk? | 19:18 |
| Nikas | so.. i have this problem. i mount some stuff from my server with nfs. With every boot of both my frontends i get "Waiting for /var/lib/mythtv/recordings" for like one minute and then "Failed". The stuff mounts as it should. Why | 19:18 |
| Nikas | that wait time.. | 19:18 |
| Koffa | ddr2 seems to be free nowadays, some 3G ramdisk should be nice... | 19:18 |
| Nikas | mount -a = instant.. no wait | 19:18 |
| Koffa | hmm.. 4GB movie is now 5.5GB and 83% done | 19:29 |
| Nikas | Can i delete "OLDHOSTNAME" in the settings-table? | 19:30 |
| Koffa | so I'll take back my 'it works' :) | 19:30 |
| alexvd_ | koffa: u still around | 19:44 |
| Koffa | yeah | 19:44 |
| alexvd_ | so | 19:45 |
| alexvd_ | I am trying to setup a video share properly. I have a masterbackend and slavefrontend | 19:45 |
| alexvd_ | I have all videos on a hardisk and that mounts to the var lib mythtv videos directory on the backend. | 19:46 |
| alexvd_ | i can see the videos on the backend in that folder. | 19:46 |
| alexvd_ | I exported videos directory on the backend | 19:46 |
| alexvd_ | and setup the hosts file for slavefrontend | 19:46 |
| alexvd_ | I then setup a mount point on the slavefrontend to pull over nfs the videos into /var/lib/mythtv/videos on the slave | 19:47 |
| alexvd_ | i cant see the videos on the slave in videomanager | 19:47 |
| camelreef | guys, my tv_grab_fr does not automatically match channel ids, I have to do a mythfilldatabase --manual - I am a bit stumped there... | 19:47 |
| Koffa | sorry but I have a combined front/back, nuttin fancy :) | 19:48 |
| alexvd_ | oh ok | 19:48 |
| Koffa | just wondering if I could use my N800 as a telly :) | 19:48 |
| alexvd_ | you can | 19:48 |
| alexvd_ | google it | 19:48 |
| Koffa | without transcoding everything... more on-the-fly | 19:49 |
| alexvd_ | oh i dont know about that | 19:49 |
| Koffa | well, first semi-successful transcode -- 3.8G -> 6.3G | 19:51 |
| Koffa | needs some tweaking :) | 19:51 |
| Koffa | it's not lacking much... | 19:57 |
| Koffa | sound is fine, image smth like 5fps :) | 19:57 |
| Koffa | n800... | 19:57 |
| camelreef | good evening directhex | 19:59 |
| directhex | helo | 19:59 |
| camelreef | I'm looking for xmltv knowledge, do you have any? | 19:59 |
| directhex | not really. i use eit | 19:59 |
| camelreef | I use it too on DVB-T, but its sub-par on dvb-S | 20:00 |
| Dorward | I've just done a apt-get dist-upgrade and the backend is throwing the following when it starts: Duplicate column name 'oldrecduplicate' | 20:24 |
| Dorward | Is this is known problem? I can't find a reference on the site. | 20:24 |
| wilberfan | my system is hanging at every shutdown or reboot: "Running local boot scripts"... | 20:34 |
| wilberfan | It's happened before with previous installs... is there a fix?? | 20:34 |
| wilberfan | I can 'RSEIUB' out of it--but what a huge PIA! | 20:39 |
| wilberfan | Sometimes the screen goes to black with just a horizontal cursor blinking in the extreme upper-left corner of the screen... (it's doing that now..) | 20:48 |
| directhex | do you have any CIFS filesystems mounted? | 20:51 |
| wilberfan | I'm back... | 21:52 |
| surlyjake | sup | 21:52 |
| wilberfan | Hey, dude.... | 21:52 |
| wilberfan | I'm having a shutdown/restart problemo.... | 21:52 |
| wilberfan | It locks up! | 21:53 |
| wilberfan | Any way to fix that...? | 21:53 |
| surlyjake | how are you shutting down? | 21:53 |
| wilberfan | I have to RSEIUB out of it...every time. Pain-in-the-azz | 21:53 |
| wilberfan | The usual way?? Exit out of front end... either click on the exit icon and select 'restart' or shutdown... sometimes open a command-line... What's the RIGHT way?? | 21:54 |
| wilberfan | 'sudo shutdown -r now' if I'm using the command line... | 21:54 |
| surlyjake | ok. have you tried halt? | 21:55 |
| wilberfan | 'halt'? | 21:55 |
| wilberfan | you mean 'sudo shutdown -h now'?? | 21:55 |
| wilberfan | i guess i'm not sure what you mean by 'halt'.... | 21:57 |
| wilberfan_ | ok...this is me on the myth box... | 22:01 |
| wilberfan | surlyjake: where'd ya go, bud...? | 22:03 |
| surlyjake | here for 5 more minutes | 22:06 |
| surlyjake | halt is a meaner way to shut the machine down | 22:06 |
| surlyjake | try it | 22:06 |
| wilberfan_ | just type 'halt' into a command line...? | 22:07 |
| surlyjake | sudo halt -r | 22:07 |
| wilberfan_ | ideally, i'd like to 'fix' whatever the problem is... What could be happening to make it freeze like that? (It's done it on previous myth installs, too...) | 22:08 |
| wilberfan_ | let me try that now.... | 22:08 |
| wilberfan | Nope. freezes at the same place.... | 22:09 |
| wilberfan | "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) | 22:10 |
| surlyjake | have you taken a look at whats in there? | 22:11 |
| wilberfan | no...(not sure i'd know what to make of it anyway!) | 22:12 |
| wilberfan | but i'll look (rebooting now..) | 22:12 |
| surlyjake | lol. you might want to post those to the pastebin and have someone take a peek at them. | 22:13 |
| surlyjake | i GTG. sry peace | 22:13 |
| wilberfan_ | ok, THIS seems rather mysterious: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5702/ | 22:16 |
| wilberfan_ | wtf? | 22:17 |
| wilberfan | anyone else at home...? | 22:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wilberfan, looks fine to me | 22:28 |
| wilberfan | what could be causing my freeze-up? | 22:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | lots of things | 22:29 |
| wilberfan | It's just started doing it in the last day or so... (rats) | 22:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | what happens if you just log out? | 22:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | does that work ok? | 22:30 |
| wilberfan | let me go check (it's hung again...) | 22:30 |
| wilberfan | [whistles the 'rebooting' tune...] | 22:31 |
| wilberfan | it seems to be doing everything else ok: boots fine, records fine, plays back fine... | 22:32 |
| wilberfan | although there's another problem that started about the same time: any icons that would ordinarily be displayed in the system tray--are now showing up in little tiny separate windows at the upper left corner of the screen...! | 22:33 |
| wilberfan | (don't know if that's related or not....) | 22:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | 7.10 or 8.04? | 22:33 |
| wilberfan | gutsy (7.10) | 22:34 |
| wilberfan | OK...logout seems to work OK.... | 22:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | try to shutdown from there | 22:34 |
| wilberfan | from the logout screen, you mean...? | 22:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | no, i assume thats been locking up | 22:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | try to shutdown from the log in screen | 22:35 |
| wilberfan | sorry...that's what i meant... the LOGIN screen.... I tried both 'restart' and 'shutdown' from the login screen....and I just ended up back at the login screen... | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | strange | 22:37 |
| wilberfan | the screen flashes...i get an NVIDIA logo..then the login screen shows up... | 22:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | try this | 22:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | ctrl-alt-f1 | 22:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | log in at the command line | 22:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | try shuting down from there | 22:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | just sudo shutdown -h now | 22:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | back in a little bit, have to do some paid work | 22:39 |
| wilberfan | it's not recognizing any keyboard strokes!! | 22:41 |
| wilberfan | (although it DID recognize my REISUB...) | 22:42 |
| wilberfan | but i couldn't enter any characters at the login: prompt! | 22:44 |
| ahave | hello room. | 22:46 |
| ahave | if i am picking out hardware.. should i avoid onboard video? | 22:46 |
| ahave | ie, nvida 7 onboard | 22:47 |
| wilberfan | it's a little quiet in here...but stick around...someone will show up eventually! | 22:49 |
| ahave | ok :) | 22:53 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: Dude. I fingered-out what the problem was...! (with my freeze-on-shutdown situation) | 23:14 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: (you'll never guess in a bazillion years...) | 23:15 |
| atariman | hi. can anyone help me with Nvidia Geforce2 MX 400 and tv-out on mythbuntu? | 23:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | way to go and wait a whole 4 minutes atariman | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wilberfan, bugs in the power supply? | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | voodoo? | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | ahave, i used a nvidia 6 series onboard for a long time with my HD | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | it worked great | 23:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | only reason i switched is because I have to use a dvi-hdmi adapter now | 23:24 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: No, the problem was: | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | and a vga-dvi-dvi-hdmi wasn't working | 23:24 |
| wilberfan | [drumroll" | 23:24 |
| wilberfan | ONE EXTRA QUOTE-SYMBOL IN MY MOBLOCK.CONF FILE!! | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wow | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | how did that get in there? | 23:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | that will now be my first diagnostic question | 23:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | always | 23:25 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: oh, that was ME that did that! MY question is--how could ONE character in ONE .conf file mess things up so bad like that!! | 23:25 |
| wilberfan | yikers....! | 23:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | you would be amazed what one extra character can do | 23:25 |
| wilberfan | somehow i thought *nix was "smarter" than that.... | 23:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | well it is, but you have to remember that all computer are dumb | 23:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | they are just really really really fast | 23:26 |
| wilberfan | what about my OTHER problemo: All my systray icons showing up as SEPARATE windows in the upper-left corner of my screen?? | 23:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | thats very strange | 23:27 |
| wilberfan | Like the network thingie...and my mobloquer...and even UPDATES.... | 23:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | not really sure why they show up in different windows | 23:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | can we get a screenshot? | 23:27 |
| wilberfan | as a matter of fact....! | 23:27 |
| wilberfan | (let me find it...) | 23:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | me too | 23:29 |
| wilberfan | http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/wilberfan/systray_prob.png | 23:29 |
| ahave | tgm4883_laptop_, what do you think about this hardware setup? https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=8417086&WishListTitle=IBM%2DMediaPc | 23:29 |
| wilberfan | the mobloquer icon is the weirdest by far: it sits right on TOP of the little Ubuntu icon (at the extreme left of the panel) and makes it transparent! | 23:30 |
| wilberfan | (you can see the wallpaper 'underneath'...) | 23:30 |
| wilberfan | And if you start up the myth frontend...there's a little square that appears in that same position while you're watching your recording or video... | 23:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | strange | 23:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | is this xfce? | 23:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | ahave, what do you plan to do with it? | 23:32 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: no...gnome.... | 23:32 |
| ahave | HD mediapc box | 23:32 |
| ahave | hope to run mythtv on it | 23:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | HD? | 23:32 |
| ahave | outputing to a 46" HDTV | 23:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wilberfan, very odd. Have you asked over in #ubuntu | 23:33 |
| wilberfan | not yet; i did post something in the forum last night... | 23:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | k | 23:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | i've never seen that before | 23:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | ahave, hi def? | 23:34 |
| ahave | tgm4883_laptop_yes. sorry, hi def | 23:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | looks alright | 23:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | although if building a machine today, i might go amd | 23:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | just cause of the price difference | 23:35 |
| ahave | tgm4883_laptop_ It will need to be able to decode bluray/HD content from dvd or harddrive | 23:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | wilberfan, is that a dell ubuntu machine? | 23:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | or just the background | 23:35 |
| ahave | is it overkill for my needs? | 23:35 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: gotcha! no...it's just wallpaper I made to help me remember which of my two boxes I'm lookin' at! :) | 23:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | ahave, no, although if you do plan on decoding bluray, you will moost likely need a better video card | 23:36 |
| ahave | like how high? | 23:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | i really don't know as I have never done it myself | 23:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop_ | directhex|bsp, directhex|work ping | 23:37 |
| pat__ | is there anyone know in mythvideo, how to stretch the folder.jpg to fill up the yellow folder | 23:43 |
| wilberfan | tgm4883_laptop_: thanks for your help earlier, dude... | 23:56 |
| wilberfan | even though i kinda fingered it out on my own... (but i think you nudged me in the right direction...) | 23:56 |
