slestakis the repo packages.medibuntu.org the weekly svn build?  im troubleshooting a mythvideo "symbol not found" error after upgrading to 21 through gutsy backports.03:26
BobSlobso sirs... any idea why i'm getting the "display server has shutdown 6 times in the last 90 seconds" error?03:28
tgm4883_laptopslestak, no03:31
tgm4883_laptopthat would be the medibuntu repo03:31
slestaki see a forum thread that looks like the guy did a dist-upgrade to "fix" the issue.  dont really want to go up to hardy yet.03:32
BobSlobweird thing is, i've booted off the disc earlier today03:37
BobSlobokay... i tried the new hardy based install... it works but now i cant do any updates.. getting 404 errors03:58

jms1989_xpWhat would be a good video capture card for linux. Ideally, it should support video4linux.10:53
Iggle-Pigglemythstream is broke since i upgraded to 0.21 is this easily fixed?11:28
sokkaNETI'm thinking about installing mythbuntu on a computer in my home network! Is it possible for a muthbunto installtion to join a domain ?11:38

sokkka:)14:24
tuvookwhy not?15:19
pdragonwhere are the settings to control when the screen turns off? after i updated recently, I've been having to move my mouse or hit a key for the screen to come up15:41
pdragonit's not the screen saver. i have that turned off15:41
Sartschenthi15:48
Sartschentdoes anyone know how i can get TV-Out working on my ATI Rage 123 AGP? it work while booting, but as soon as the MythTv frontend starts my TV turns dark15:49
SartschentATI Rage 128 AGP that is...15:49
tuvookhave you tried the setup?15:50
Sartschentoh and I am running Mythbuntu 7.10...15:50
tuvookdo you have a webcam connected?15:51
Sartschentunder propirietary drivers->launch xorg.conf? it defaults to Mach8, Mach16...... changing to Rage 128 doesn't help15:52
Sartschentno webcam15:52
tuvookhow about mythtv-setup since thats what we are discussing?15:53
Sartschentwhere in myth-tv setup? all I found was under utilities/setup->setup->mythbuntu15:55
tuvookI suggest a little more reading16:01
Sartschenttrust, me, I wouldn't be here if I hadn't done lot's of reading...16:07
directhexproprietary drivers for a pre-radeon card? not happening16:19
retardedWhat Tv Shows Are On Sunday Be Avalavle To Download Online later tonight? for example desperate housewives16:22
Sartschenthmm, so there is pretty much no chance to get tv-out working with a rage 128? a gforce2mx should work better though, right?16:22
directhexSartschent, yes, but video quality on pre-geforce5 cards on tv-out is crap16:48
Sartschentok, thx directhex. I just wanted to see if MythTv is what I am looking for, so crappy TV-Out will be enough for now :)16:53
protonchrisdirecthex: you don't happen to have a recommendation of video card with good quality tv-out?16:59
pdragonthe geforce 5000 series cards work fine17:09
pdragonany of the low end current geforce cards with an svideo out will work too17:09
pdragoncan even spend a little more and get component out17:10
protonchrispdragon: thanks.  Maybe some day, I'll have a hd tv and I can just use dvi->hdmi :)17:12
lime4x4odd problem with the hardy version and network.I have 1 hardwired ethernet card and 1 wireless card but yet network manager is saying i have 2 hardwired ethernet connection eth0 and eth1 and it's showing my wireless card as wired and it keeps renaming it17:46
asmythehello I am a new user to mythtv19:10
JThundleywelcome to the club19:15
tgm4883_laptopasmythe, was there a question that you had?20:06
JThundleyI've got a question that should be easy to answer if you're itching for one20:07
JThundleyhow can I make my fast forward, rewind, play/pause buttons on my remote NOT navigate the menu?20:07
JThundleyI have the same system set up on mythbuntu that I did on my old mythtv installation, where hitting certain keys spawns mplayer processes for me20:08
JThundleythe problem is when I fast forward and rewind the new mplayer video, it takes me back and fourth through the menus and sometimes even starts playing tv shows in the background or messing with settings20:08
a1fai am tempted to hose my mythtv box and install ubuntu-mythtv ;P20:11
a1fatalk me out of it20:11
tgm4883_laptopa1fa, what is your current mythtv box running?20:12
a1fadebian20:12
a1faunstable20:12
a1fai am sitck and tired of updating it20:13
a1faeverytime i have to update something, something brakes20:13
a1fabreaks20:13
tgm4883_laptophmm20:13
tgm4883_laptopJThundley, that is odd20:13
a1fai got a 512 mb flash drive.. anyway to install myth-fronted with a 512 mb flash drive?20:13
tgm4883_laptopa1fa, i'd say upgrade, or wait until the end of april and upgrade20:13
a1fai may have to wait for 8.0420:14
a1faits almost out20:14
tgm4883_laptopa1fa, yes, although i'm not entirely sure how, i do know someone was working on it20:14
a1faanyway to get mythbuntu fronted to install with flash drive?20:14
tgm4883_laptopa1fa, i'm checking to find out who was doing it20:16
tgm4883_laptopalthough i'm guessing that 512mb might be pushing it20:16
tgm4883_laptopa1fa, there is also the netboot option20:17
HeManHi! Was there any update to weekly build to day?20:19
tgm4883_laptopHeMan, trunk or stable?20:20
HeManstable20:20
HeManah! just read the 0.21 releas info20:21
HeManI have the backports to gutsy20:21
tgm4883_laptopah, well the backports are only going to get .21 release20:21
tgm4883_laptopand there will be no more weekly builds for gutsy20:21
JThundleya1fa: mythbuntu is great dude20:22
JThundleyI've never had anything break after an update20:22
HeMando backports get updated?20:22
JThundleyand it had ivtv and my remote working out of the box20:22
tgm4883_laptopHeMan, they only get what are deemed important.  ie, they got .21, but they won't get .21-fixes20:23
HeMantgm4883_laptop: ok20:24
HeManis there any .21-fixes repository?20:24
tgm4883_laptopHeMan, not for gutsy20:24
tgm4883_laptopis there something important that you need from it?20:25
HeMani'm having some stability problems when watching DVB-content in HD20:25
HeManand my first step is usually update20:26
tgm4883_laptopis there a specific fix that you can reference for this?20:26
superm1_HeMan, especially has that fix been added to -fixes branch20:26
HeMantgm4883_laptop: no, I haven't looked at it that seriously yet20:27
HeManI found one problem with a theme that made mythmusic crash, but I just changed theme20:28
HeManhmm, just realised that I haven't tried HD since changing the theme20:28
superm1_the themes packages (all of juski's and such) should all be backported sometime this week20:28
superm1_so if it was one of those, that should improve20:28
HeManit works after changing the theme20:29
superm1_what theme was broke?20:32
HeManneon-wide20:38
HeMani guess i should disable the mythbunth repo since I have gutsy-backports?20:41
superm1_yeah that's been updated in hardy and is coming in the backport this week20:41
superm1_HeMan, yeah20:41
HeManI'll remove the mythtv-additional-themes package to20:42
tyceI'm trying to install using the 7.10 disk and when it boots up gdm/gnome the instructions in the middle show up telling you to double click install mythtv, but the rest of it doesn't, so there isn't any icons for me to double click and get the install going.  anyone know how to fix that?20:50
tgm4883_laptoptyce, are you getting the menu bar and such?20:54
tyceno21:05
tycejust a mouse cursor, the xfce/myth logo and the instructions21:05
tyceand if I try the safe graphics options, my monitor goes into power off stanby mode21:06
tyceis there a way to install via the command prompt?21:06
tgm4883_laptopgutsy or hardy?21:07
tycegutsy (7.10)21:08
tyceis the install disk for hardy far enough along I should just use that instead?21:08
tgm4883_laptopmany of us are using hardy, and did install using the alpha disks, but only you can make that decision21:09
tycewilling to give anything a shot at this pont21:09
tyce*point21:09
tycedo you have a link for where I can grab the ISO?21:09
tgm4883_laptopwww.mythbuntu.org/hardyalpha421:10
tycenot seeing it in the main download section21:10
tycethanks21:10
tyceoh nice, you can get it without the live crap.. sweet.21:12
tyceguess I'll go kill an hour while that downloads....  thanks for the heads up!21:13
tgm4883_laptopyes21:13
tgm4883_laptopalso21:13
tyce?21:13
tgm4883_laptopyou can also have only the installer load up in the live env21:13
tgm4883_laptopwhich, IMO, is better than the alt cd and live disk21:13
tyceyeah, wish I could do that now with the gutsy disk21:15
superm1_hopefully those alternate disks work properly.  i was just testing the amd64 one, and things weren't going as expected -21:19
MythbuntuGuest42Hello, everyone!  Was hoping someone can help a newbie out.  Needing to configure a Firefly mini remote - having hangups on wiki instruction...  Can someone help me out.21:55
sslashesi'm jumping into the 8.04 alpha, but i'm getting hung up on the install (using the alt. install cd) - the partitioner sees all my disks, but shows their address (for all of them) as (0,0,0) except for the one non-sata drive21:59
sslashesany ideas?21:59
sslashesalso, the partitioner can partition the drives fine, but when it comes to mouting them it always fails22:00
superm1_sslashes, that may be a bug with the alternate install cd (unfortunately)22:01
superm1_did you grab the amd64 or the i386 one?22:01
sslashesheh, i tried both =)22:01
superm1_sslashes, okay well one more thing to try before some deeper investigation is necessary..22:02
superm1_can you grab the latest from cdimages.ubuntu.com?22:02
superm1_those are generated every day, so if it was a transient bug - should be fine there22:02
sslashesyeah, i'll give it a try22:02
sslashesbtw - why os xfs the only fs option?22:04
sslashes*is22:04
superm1_that probably is where the bug is :)22:08
superm1_we should pull out those alternate builds from the announcement i fear.22:08
superm1_it looks like they were broken across the board.  i only tested the daily the day before :(22:09
sslashessuperm1_: the latest alt. cd exhibits the same issue for me22:26
superm1_sslashes, ooh that's really not good then22:26
superm1_i wonder what could have changed with it22:26
superm1_sslashes, i'll investigate then22:27
sslashesalso, the mythbuntu desktop release doesn't let me change the menu options on the boot menu22:27
superm1_sslashes, in the interim, you may be interested in a "ubiquity only" install22:27
superm1_that doesnt open up the gui22:27
superm1_it just boots right into ubiquity22:27
superm1_if you hit f6 you get that option to change things22:27
superm1_you should still be able to22:27
directhexsuperm1_, any chance of including a changeset?22:28
superm1_directhex, sure22:28
superm1_what changeset22:28
rhpot1991anyone happen to have an antec fusion in here?22:28
superm1_and more importantly why :)22:28
directhex16577 - fixes assorted upnp behaviour, especially accessing mythvideo videos from a ps322:28
rhpot1991directhex: hack us a patch to include the recordings dir in upnp while you are at it :)22:29
directhexrhpot1991, it's not my patch. and recordings access on the ps3 is busted due to some kind of MIME issue, iirc22:30
rhpot1991superm1_: if irw is saying connection refused, and nothing looks bad in dmesg, then it has to be the wrong module, right?22:30
javatexancan you look at the cable schedules without the firewire actually hooked up?  I am able to do a filldb, but I still cant see the schedule in the guide, I guess because I don't have a working input just yet.....  is there an alternate way to look at the schedules for a channel?22:30
superm1_directhex, yeah tgm4883 was wanting me to put that in too22:31
superm1_directhex, so i guess why not22:32
superm1_as soon as laga's patch is ready i'm going to do another big upload22:32
superm1_so i'll add it then22:32
superm1_rhpot1991, so here's what's probably appening22:32
superm1_check what lirc_* modules are loaded22:32
superm1_they are probably getting loaded in a funky order22:32
superm1_or you have modules you aren't expecting loaded22:32
* rhpot1991 is spoiled by his hauppauge cards working too easily22:33
superm1_well see this is why people who have newer swankier hardware need to help make it easier to use22:33
rhpot1991superm1_: lirc_imon, lirc_dev, usbcore22:34
rhpot1991in that order22:34
rhpot1991when I greped lirc22:34
superm1_rhpot1991, okay so that's not the issue then22:34
superm1_so is lircd running?22:34
rhpot1991dunno whats up with this 2nd line, appears to have other modules22:34
directhexsuperm1_, excellent :)22:34
superm1_directhex, any other magic you'd like to see?  This will probably be the last upload for hardy unless anything pressing shows up22:35
directhexsuperm1_, not that i can think of. all the cool stuff like opengl is already included. though it's unfortunate that the gl renderer is broken with 169.x drivers22:36
rhpot1991ps aux |grep lirc, should show it, right?22:37
superm1_rhpot1991, yeah it should22:37
rhpot1991its not22:37
superm1_okay then do this22:37
rhpot1991even after I started it22:37
superm1_sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart22:37
superm1_is that how you started it?22:37
rhpot1991s/restart/start22:37
superm1_do it with restart22:38
superm1_in case there is a stale pid22:38
rhpot1991restart spawned something22:38
rhpot1991my irw is just quitting now22:38
superm1_okay so once it starts and you see it on the process list, copy the entire command its using to start it22:39
superm1_and look what user its being started as22:39
superm1_what you will want to do is use that exact command line with the switch to not daemonize22:40
rhpot1991looks like irw is killing it22:40
rhpot1991that command doesn't return anything, just throws me to the next command prompt22:41
rhpot1991I wonder if the device is wrong22:41
superm1_well so lets see /etc/lirc/hardware.conf then22:42
superm1_and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf22:42
superm1_in a pastebin or two22:42
rhpot1991ok give me a min22:42
MythbuntuGuest80When installing via Manual format does Mythbuntu delete contents of existing partitions?22:44
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest80: only if you tell it to22:45
MythbuntuGuest80so if i have mythbuntu 7.1 installed and try to install 8.04 over the top and tell it to install my existing / parition and check the format box but leave the format button unchecked on my other paritions it should be ok?22:47
superm1_MythbuntuGuest80, that's a different case22:48
superm1_when you assign it to /22:48
superm1_if has to format the existing contents22:48
superm1_coming from 7.10, you are better off just upgrading22:49
superm1_sudo update-manager -d will do it22:49
MythbuntuGuest80i do not mind it formating / it it my media partition i want to keep? this will mean i can setup with 8.04 and only apply the fixes i need to get it back working on my hardware - hopefully most of the problems will be solved with the new version of Ubuntu?22:52
superm1_well you get the same fixes by upgrading22:55
superm1_that's why i'm saying formating isn't necessarily the best solution22:55
MythbuntuGuest80i think i will just upgrade and hope all the things i have changed to get 7.1 working are still needed in 8.04.  should i be doing a "-c -d" or just a "-d"?22:59
rhpot1991superm1_: I'm wondering if I didn't hook something up right, lsusb doesn't show me anything23:01
lime4x4i have an avi file that plays find on my computer but yet when i play it thru mythtv the audio is off23:09
superm1_rhpot1991, is it a usb device?23:10
superm1_or what?23:10
rhpot1991ya23:11
rhpot1991has some fancy adapter to plug it into your board23:11
rhpot1991gonna try to plug it right into a port and see what happens23:11
superm1_okay23:11
rhpot1991nothign :(23:14
rhpot1991hope its not busted23:14
sokkkaI'm thinking about installing mythbuntu on a computer in my home network! Is it possible for a muthbunto installtion to join a domain ?23:27
superm1_sokkka, yeah it is23:28
superm1_as for a 'howto', any of the ubuntu howto's for it are applicable23:28
sokkkaokay23:29
sokkkacool23:29
sokkkathen I'll set it to download, and look at it tomorrow23:29
superm1_there probably isn't much usage in actually having it as part of the domain though i'd suspect23:30
superm1_just setting the workgroup to the same name as the domain would probably suffice23:30
rhpot1991superm1_: I think I am getting somewhere, got it to show up as /dev/lirc0, cat /dev/lirc0 shows junk on screen when I button press, but irw doesn't do anything yet23:49
superm1_then you need a nicer lircd.conf probably23:49
superm1_you said there are like 6 avail23:49
rhpot1991well part of the problem is that its an imon receiver that is supposed to work with mce remotes23:50
rhpot1991so I'm not entirely sure which to choose23:50
rhpot1991and antec doesn't tell you squat about it23:50
superm1_do you have a mce remote?23:50
rhpot1991ya23:50
rhpot1991m$ 103923:50
rhpot1991I have a usb dongle here for it as well, but I'd rather not use that23:51
superm1_okay well so then you need the mceusb lircd.conf23:51
superm1_just modify /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to include that one instead23:51
rhpot1991thats what I was thinking23:52
rhpot1991wanted to try out the mce ones to see if they worked  nice first though23:52
superm1_well it's a simple one line change :)23:53
rhpot1991no go23:59
rhpot1991mceusb is the only choice there right?23:59
