[00:05] Hey all, I'm trying to modprobe lirc_serial, but it keeps on telling me the device or resource is busy, any ideas? [00:20] Trying to install ndiswrapper; "make distclean" from ~/ndiswrapper-1.43 and -1.52 [00:20] Belboz92: setserial. use it free the device [00:21] Geting error: cannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/buiild. Is it configureed?. Stop. [00:21] *tried 2 different versions [00:24] Think prob may be a result from not having Linux Headers installed... [00:24] How should this be entered: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [00:25] laga: sorry, I'm not very familiar with setserial's syntax, could you give me more info on that? [00:26] Belboz92: i suggest you check the forums or google, i don't remember it off-hand. if you're using hardy, please file a bug report. it's supposed to be automagic there [00:27] k, thanks laga [00:29] Nevermind previous comments; was using the wrong charactor; used ' instead of ` [00:39] have we seen anything from superm1 tonight? [00:40] he's probably at work [00:40] not yet [00:40] k. no idea what his sched is like... will finish up a coupla things and be back in a few. [00:40] I think he is central time, so thats going for 8 there [00:41] yes, he's central. will check back after 8... good timing for me too. [00:41] laga: that worked btw, thanks [00:41] biab. [00:43] okay, I got the module loaded, now I'm having an issue where lircd dies whenever I try to access the ir blaster [00:45] gotta love that [00:48] back [00:48] hi majoridiot [00:57] hey, can anyone assure me that upgrading to Hardy will solve this problem with more ease than trying to figure out wtf is wrong with all this Gutsy stuff? [01:00] Belboz92, can't assure you, but it's likely :) [01:02] superm1: thanks, I'm upgrading now :) [01:04] 1407 packages to upgrade :-P [01:04] 1200MB [01:05] it always helps to try to determine the cause of issues [01:05] cause once you upgrade to hardy, and hit a bump, then what? [01:06] good luck though [01:06] Tuv0k: and if you upgrade and it's suddenly working? [01:06] Tuv0k, then we are able to fix said bump :) [01:06] then you just started froma clean slate, that could have happened with a clean install of fiesty [01:06] or dapper [01:06] and if you're stuck with a bug when no developer wants to spend time fixing old packages? [01:07] thats if the package was the fault to begin with [01:07] but how would one know, if they just upgraded? [01:08] how would they know if they didn't upgrade? [01:08] how would they know if they did? [01:09] if one does not isolate the problem, then they don't know anything about what will or will not fix it is all I was saying [01:09] take it or leave it [01:10] Finalizing installation of my wireless card. What to use WPA2 Personal; any documentation on setting this up? thanks [01:10] yeah, but isolating the problem is a bit more sensible after upgrading to a version which has seen some bug fixes, especially wrt irblaster support :) [01:10] but of course, upgrading can be a bit drastic just to get lirc working [01:10] hmm, on reboot my mixer has mic as record capture, not my cd audio line [01:11] is there a place to specify what source myth captures audio on? [01:11] mythtv-setup? [01:13] i don't see it there. never looked before. didn't have this issue with .20 [01:18] mcquaid, as long as you don't mention ubuntu #mythtv-users has some great advice there. They are not as tolerant of not doing your homework first though. [01:19] you get your hand held here [01:19] which is not a bad thing at all [01:19] hi all, i just had some major problems with mythtv after upgrading to 0.21 on ubuntu 7.10 so I reinstalled [01:19] now I can't get my capture card recognized [01:19] uh oh [01:20] where do we start? [01:20] using an HDHomeRun box... after selecting it in mythtv-setup I get a blank menu in Input Connections [01:20] when I go to channel editor and attempt to scan for channels it acts as though it can't see the capture "card" [01:21] however I'm able to detect HDHomeRun box and also ping it so I know it's there [01:21] well the blank menu is the show stopper [01:21] indeed [01:21] this is a clean isntall? [01:22] not an upgrade? [01:22] I'm guessing no as it seems to have saved my menu settings (using the apple tv rip off menu) and also all my channel info from before [01:22] however I did uninstall via synaptic and then install via synaptic (using mythtv 0.20) [01:22] correct it's not an upgrade [01:23] its not a clean install its a upgrade [01:23] also when running the frontend and attempting to watch live tv I get a message that says something along the lines "all inputs are being used"... i'm assuming it relates to not having a capture card working though [01:23] if thats the case, you will need to nuke all the old settings and start fresh [01:23] yeah [01:23] do this first [01:23] ah i see... how the heck do I get this thing uninstalled? [01:23] delete all capture cards [01:24] then readd them [01:24] that should do it [01:24] "unable to delete capturecards for ubuntu" [01:24] do it in mythtv-setup [01:24] ok ran the other option "delete all capture cards" and it seemed to work as I got no error [01:24] now readd the card [01:25] ping: superm1 [01:25] cheers [01:25] hola! [01:25] PM? [01:25] after adding the card it takes me back to the "capture cards" menu that shows "new capture card, delete all capture cards on ubuntu, delete all capture cards".... but hdhomerun isn't showing... should it be? I can't remember from last time [01:25] just come join the dev channel majoridiot [01:25] we'll talk there [01:26] (also input connections is still blank) [01:26] destructar, after deleting it readd it as I've repeated [01:26] one step at a time man [01:26] your getting ahead of yourself [01:27] you mean add via mythtv-setup under option 2. Capture Cards, right? that's what I did [01:27] right [01:27] did it show up after you deleted them all? [01:27] no [01:27] are all cards now deleted? [01:27] yes [01:27] k [01:28] now go back to capture cards, and attempt to search for yours [01:28] ok, choosing "HDHomeRun DTV tuner box" from Card Type. [01:28] right [01:29] entered on "finish" [01:29] true [01:29] back to the "capture cards" menu... hdhomerun card is not listed here [01:29] it is as though it refuses to add the card [01:29] odd [01:29] do you have the correct device set [01:30] exactly my thoughts... it's what I was trying to explain further up the chat but failed to convey :) [01:30] as in /dev/video0 [01:30] not sure let me check [01:30] or /dev/cideo1 [01:30] where do I check that? [01:31] oh i see... for most cards you have that option [01:31] not for the hdhomerun device though [01:31] same place as ... [01:31] it's an external box [01:31] right [01:31] below the cards selection [01:32] yea that option doesn't exist for hdhomerun [01:32] actually yes it does: it has device id which is correctly set [01:33] try changing it [01:33] it's something different than /dev/video[whatever] as it is an external device... just uses a hex id [01:33] ok [01:34] destructar, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HDHomeRun#head-1e1c830e6c6aadfe236d7e56698a762d73e3d7fb [01:34] ever seen that? [01:35] yea tried using it but it didn't help [01:35] i'm thinking that I should just completely reinstall mythtv [01:36] the upgrade was not a good idea [01:36] only I can do that l) [01:36] yea no doubt [01:37] so i'm looking at synaptic and apparently I don't have mythtv-backend-master installed.. should I? [01:39] no [01:39] its not required [01:39] but your database needs to be reconfigured [01:39] and or backed up [01:39] how to reconfigure? [01:41] you'll need to read up on it [01:41] dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [01:42] just like anything else [01:42] yea doing it now [01:42] or phpmyadmin [01:42] etc [01:42] actually i guess it's already done... that seemed fast [01:46] ok: reconfigured the database, attempted to add the capture card, no dice. [01:54] Need assistance with my Wireless Device... Have it connecting to the router, but cannot assign an IP. Could someone look at my /ect/network/interfaces to see if it is correct? [01:57] not t [01:57] it. === MythbuntuGuest96 is now known as JoshT76 [01:59] hello [01:59] anyone home? [02:01] Well, if someone can be of assistance, here are my settings: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61085/ [02:01] any one else experiencing issues with watching tv doing weird things with the video? [02:10] Stemming78, those are static settings? [02:10] not dhcp [02:10] Yah, I can set it using DHCP but am failing when I try and assign the IP address... [02:11] Wasnt sure or not if I had gateway or something else configured incorrectly [02:12] looks sane [02:12] and/or correct [02:12] strange, must be something with the router than (port not open) or something. [02:30] I GOT WIRELESS WORKING!!! very excited over here. Ready to turn in my green hat fellas [02:30] quick question: is the mythnettv plugin available in hardy mythbuntu? [02:31] * majoridiot wonders if it will survive a reboot [02:31] it did! thats the greatest thing [02:31] congrats! [02:31] now write down what you did. [02:31] before you forget. [02:31] Yah, will be a bool [02:32] *book [02:33] If anyone is needing help, just ask... I think I graduated today;-) [02:33] is there a way to make a php script that will make a podcast/vodcast from the contents of a folder? [02:34] if you can code php, i would think so. [02:34] uhg [02:34] ;) [02:34] not sure if this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythExport [02:35] JoshT76, there are better ways of coming out of the closet [02:37] that makes this much sense [02:39] the same goes for asking a php question in #ubuntu-mythtv [02:39] thanks for the link, i have my iPod file already generated, just lloking for a script that will allow me to use them in a podcast type format [02:40] famicom, its related i just didnt type the preface, sorry [02:41] yeah, i shouldnt be a douche either [02:41] but, i guess what you need is a cli oneliner [02:41] touche, douche. [02:41] hehe. [02:41] first of all, are tthe files you are trying to combine all in the same format [02:41] as in [02:41] all mpeg, all ogg all divex [02:41] or whatnot [02:43] i have a user job that ustilizes ffmpeg to convert my recordings to an iPod compatible format and saved into a specific folder as an .mp4 file [02:44] i just was curious if anyone had a php script that may dynamically generate podcast/vodcast rss feed based on the contents of this particular folder [02:46] quick question: is the mythnettv plugin available in hardy mythbuntu? [02:46] there is something similar called dir2cast that works for mp3s and i was asking if there may be something similar that folks here would use for video from mythtv in this manner [03:02] hi. i think I have royally screwed up my system... tried to upgrade mythtv to 0.21, then uninstalled it via synaptic, then reinstalled version .20, then capture device (hdhomerun) couldn't be detected even after deleting all cards and trying to re-add... [03:02] Is there a way to import imdb data from Backend Machine to a freshly installed Frontend box? [03:03] *and posters [03:03] ... then removed via synaptic again, installed mythbuntu control centre, still couldn't get capture device recognized... seemed troubles were coming from database so I backed up the db and then removed it from mysql... then uninstalled mythbuntu and reinstalled... now can't connect to database (on install mythbuntu didn't bother to make the db for me again) [03:03] so in short: WTF?? [03:04] restore your database backup [03:04] then I'll be back to square one [03:04] well when you upgraded it convereted that to 0.21 scheme [03:04] so you can't use that with 0.20.2 [03:05] it made a backup then [03:05] go find them and restore from them [03:05] I believe it left mine in my recordings directory [03:06] hmm why so it did, just found it [03:11] sweet jesus! rhpot1991: i owe you my first born child! [03:12] rather than that, just 'pay it forward' :) [03:13] destructar, you get your tuner back? [03:13] yes [03:13] it was all due to a bad database [03:14] plus now I'm using mythbuntu rather than regular mythtv which i think will make life easier [03:15] well that's the goal at least ;) [03:15] figured it was the db [03:17] yea... that makes total sense now... i thought that upon uninstall the db would be removed and then recreated on reinstall... but no [03:17] * rhpot1991 crushes everything wifi related around him [03:18] np destructar [03:18] now the question is: will my hd channels work again? they were seriously messed up upon attempted upgrade to .21 [03:50] i applied this patch to mythweb's stream module http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/5006 which provides nuv streaming by using mencoder instead of ffmpeg [03:51] but currently it's behaving the same as with ffmpeg. it shows the first frame but never plays the video in the flash player [03:51] is there a log for mythweb? something that would show the ffmpeg/mencoder requests? i don't see anything in the apache logs [03:56] mcquaid, yeahm its called mythlog [03:57] you mean /var/log/mythtv/ ? already looked in there. saw no mention of my streaming requests [03:57] thought mythweb might log somewhere else [03:58] its in mythweb [03:58] do you have mythweb up? [03:58] yep [03:58] last link to the right [03:58] backend log? [03:59] ok in the backend i see this: Could not connect to server "" @ port -1 [04:00] numerous times. i'm just testing this on a lan. does a port have to be open for mythweb to stream? [04:03] mcquaid, depends where you are streaming from [04:03] but on a lan , no [04:04] unless you have a firewall on the mythbackend [04:04] generally port 80 [04:04] no no firewall [04:04] I'm streaming via flash from 30 miles away through a firewall, with only port 22 open [04:05] not able to stream .asx through the ssh though [04:05] thus the flash in the browser viewing [04:05] hmm [04:06] I don't want to open port 80 though [04:06] then I'd have to setup a login for mythweb [04:06] and I don't feel up to it just yet [04:07] i wonder if the login could be causing the issue. the pkg provided in mythweb allows one to configure a login [04:07] this is what i keep seeing when trying to stream [04:07] http://www.pastebin.ca/957726 [04:07] well, i think those errors are referring to my stream attemtp [04:08] as i configured a login and you mention you haven't yet [04:14] *sigh*... about to give up for the night... front end was unable to connect to the backend so I restarted... now I can't even run mythtv-setup [04:14] when running this or trying to start front end, process hangs at "new db connection, total 1" [04:15] backend log says "No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP." and tells me to run setup, which of course I can't [04:15] mcquaid, never was asked for a login [04:15] but I believe you guys run "mythbuntu" [04:15] I don't [04:15] just mythtv [04:15] i'm running hardy beta with it's .21 in the reps [04:15] I don't go for the prepackaged [04:15] me too [04:16] so you should have more latitude [04:16] I need to learn how to better help others [04:16] I can fix any issue of my own [04:16] others not so much [04:16] "unable to connect to database. driver error" wtf?? "sqlquery::exec database not open" [04:17] mysql is running though [04:17] the login info for your database may be off? [04:17] the frontend and backend pw not matching? [04:17] the database need to be repaired then optimized? [04:17] how to edit this? is there a file to edit? can't run any setup programs [04:18] all things I had to check and double check when I had similar issues [04:18] i'll try to repair i guess... *sigh* [04:18] I use phpmyadmin when and if I can't pull up mythweb [04:18] I even will use webmin to administer my database [04:19] make sure /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt has the correct db username password [04:19] I have several methods to do one thing [04:19] thats right [04:19] also somehow my mythtv user didn't have privledges for mythconverg db [04:19] it helps to be a little experienced in linux to play with myth [04:20] that also is pertainent [04:20] once i fixed that, and made sure mysql.txt was right. everything worked [04:20] the documentation out there for myth is awesome [04:20] so is #mythtv-users [04:21] but if you mention ubuntu too much there, they point you here [04:21] they aren't as nice but very knowledgable [04:22] channel stays axtive [04:22] oh crap [04:23] i just saw my problem... have the ip address set to 172.0.0.1 instead of 127.0.0.1 [04:23] :) [04:23] crap... any easy way to change this in a file or somewhere? i have no way of getting in to setup [04:24] apparently setting wrong ip addy in the front end makes for bad experiences [04:24] careful modifying that file [04:24] try http://localhost/mythweb [04:24] mysql.txt that is [04:24] i've made some bonehead moves the last few days as well ;) [04:24] mysql.txt doesn't contain the ip addy [04:25] destructar: if its for the frontend you can do that in the setup menu under the frontend [04:25] if thats for a backend, it can be done under mythtv-setup [04:26] i can't run either setup script though... it just hangs while attempting to connect to the database on the wrong ip address [04:26] errors just slowly scroll by on terminal [04:26] destructar: if you let that run long enough I believe it will pop up anyways [04:26] and then you can change it [04:27] provided I am thinking about the same thing as you are saying [04:27] Hey all, which IR transmitter do I want to select in the config? [04:27] i see... ok i'll leave it alone [04:27] at this rate I might as well go to sleep first [04:27] I have a home-brew IR blaster with a Motorola DCT2224 [04:27] destructar: shouldn't take more than a few minutes though [04:27] he's probably referring to the bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf [04:28] Do I want "Command IR: Motorola Cable Box"? [04:28] i make that the actual ip address of the box so other frontends on the network will work [04:28] it's already been at the very least 10... it keeps trying to connect "no error type from sqlerror? strange..." [04:30] destructar: do you have a /home//.mythtv/config.xml file? [04:31] yes but it's empty [04:33] there should be a mysql.txt there as well [04:39] hmm, i tried watching a stream while looking at wireshark, but didn't see anything relevant as to why streams don't work [04:40] nothing in myth's log. i just connecting ip addy... in the browser i'm trying to watch [04:41] ha! unplugged my internet and then ran mythtv-setup... made it get past all the failed db connections in a hurry [04:42] of course frontend still can not connect to backend server... so i'm still screwed... so I shouldn't be all that excited i guess [04:54] awesome! got it working along with HD [04:54] \\ [04:54] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [04:54] geez... well that only took the entire night [04:54] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [04:54] \ [04:54] whoops :) dog [04:54] !pastebin | superm1 [04:54] superm1: 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) [04:54] heh === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 [05:33] hey all, I seem to missing all the text on the main menu of both the Frontend and Backend Setup, any ideas? [05:34] the menus still work btw, I can get to the TV by pressing enter [05:34] oops === flower_girl is now known as Belboz99 [05:35] Belboz99, try exiting the frontend and run it from terminal like this: mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=OpenGL [05:37] foxbuntu: thanks! [05:37] what was the problem? [05:38] Belboz99, you need to set the Frontend to use OpenGL [05:38] okay, done [05:39] ok..that should take care of things [05:39] thanks [05:39] QT is default and doesn't always work [05:39] depending on your video card [05:39] ah [06:12] hey foxbuntu, I now have video0, video24 and video32 listed in /dev, but video0 won't probe in Mythsetup, any ideas? [06:12] Belboz99, what type of tuner? [06:13] Hauppage PVR-150 [06:13] it was working just fine a minute ago [06:14] the system did hang for some odd reason when I went to vi a config file for lirc, but lirc now works [06:16] foxbuntu: [06:16] Belboz99, pastebin your dmesg [06:17] foxbuntu: only thing I find is this written with every attempt: [ 1021.444128] ivtv0: Failed to initialize on minor 0 [06:18] Belboz99, reboot [06:18] alright, I'll brb [06:24] back, I think [06:26] foxbuntu: that fixed it, but do you think it will break again next time I run the channel changer? [06:29] Belboz99, shouldn't, but I suggest enabling the IVTV Driver tweak in Mythbuntu Control Centre, it will reduce the chance of issues with that card [06:30] k, thanks [06:34] damn, still doesn't change channels :( [06:36] Belboz99, what method did you setup for changing channels? [09:43] foxbuntu, curiously, the "no menu text with qt" thing happens on mythfrontend/win32 [14:22] Mornin' [14:23] if initramfs blewup and won't let me boot into any kernel.... (can't find root filesystem) is there a way to boot with a cd and repair it? [14:24] yes [14:24] boot the live cd, mount the partition to somewhere [14:25] k [14:25] and then sudo chroot location /bin/bash [14:25] and then in there [14:25] update-initramfs -u -k VERSION [14:25] where VERSION is your kernel version [14:25] k... I tried chrooting in with linux rescue but it wouldn't let me use update-initramfs [14:26] oh and... btw.. laga hit my "smurfs" after hardy upgrade on ATI dead slam on the head [14:26] it jacked my hue [14:28] thanx again superm1 [14:29] no prob [14:29] you fixed the blue tint? [14:29] by turning off xv pic controls? [14:30] nope... just my hue was turned all the way down to 0 [14:30] ha [14:30] I set it to 50% (where it usually sets by default) and it was fine... [14:30] who'd a thunk it [14:30] lol [14:30] can you add that to the FAQ? [14:30] sometimes it's the SIMPLEST things that stump us the most! [14:30] lol [14:30] Can/does Ubuntu/MythTV download & playback content from sites like CBS Interactive, NBC's Hulu, etc? Or do I need additional 'tools' like Miro, VLC, etc? [14:31] JGleich, you need additional tools for that currently [14:31] Yup... I can do that.. it might already be out there... he said he knows about it and it should have been fixed though [14:31] JGleich, and remember those are in flash video format, so i'm not sure how nicely they will play in the internal player [14:31] I pasted my xvinfo to him [14:31] superm1: Hi. For the DL, or the playback or both? [14:31] so you can try at least [14:31] aha ... [14:31] JGleich, for the download for sure [14:31] playback maybe [14:32] superm1: Let's assume I use "another tool", then, to DL the content. Can MythTV be used to manage the content ... and then invoke a different tool to playback? [14:33] hi, I am not sure if its how it should be but myth .21 backend its a lot more cpu than .20 backend [14:33] anyone else have notice? [14:33] JGleich, yes that's possible [14:33] superm1: you want me to post it here?? [14:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301 [14:34] Aquahallic, in the link in there is a FAQ page [14:34] *eats [14:34] click that and the link in side that link [14:34] hugolp, not on the backend, but the frontend uses more [14:34] see the faq :) [14:34] superm1: That's good enoughh, then. Now to find a spare box around here ... thanks. [14:34] superm1: then something is wrong with my backend [14:34] best of luck with that JGleich [14:35]
