[00:02] zorglups2: is it green for all resolutions (800x600 and so on), or just for the res for the 42" ? [00:04] and remember that the color temperature is different for a tv than for a monitor ... [00:04] Well, I tried a few and even during the boot, the 'white' text turns green. I guess this is not really an xorg matter [00:05] In my TV setup page, I checked for the color temperature... This was set to default. I tried the 'warm' and 'cold' but this did not change much. [00:07] A few monthes ago, I did connect my laptop to the TV and did not see this problem. [00:07] My laptop run's WinXP... [00:07] I should try again but would need to reboot (after having connected the TV) and can't do that now. [00:08] as a workaround, can't you get the colors right if you adjust them? (on the computer ... X server color correction in nvidia-settings if you have such a card ... ) [00:10] I have this usb tuner card... made in taiwan but it has a phillips chipset. [00:10] Shouldn't it work with myth [00:10] ? [00:10] I've downloaded the myth packages, but somehow I think I am missing something because it doesn't seem to recognize the usb tuner [00:11] zabadapp: I should check but need to invest a bit in understanding those graphical stuffs in Linux. I feel soo stupid there... [00:11] zabadapp: What I tried was playing with those RGB settings on the tv set. I did not find any suitable setting yet. [00:11] Dboy: did you take a look at linuxtv.org to see if it is supported by their drivers? [00:12] zabadapp: The strange thing is that I don't have such a green cast with the laptop. [00:12] zorglups2: i agree it's strange ... what graphics card is it? [00:13] Dboy: the kernel modules for v4l are coming from the linuxtv.org site also [00:15] zabadapp: The MoBo is the Intel D201GLY2 an has a SiS chipset. The Laptop (XP) has an ATI video controller. [00:15] zabadapp: Both work fine with the 22" LCD but the "green" issue only happens when connecting the Intel Mobo to the TV. [00:15] zorglups2: same cables in both cases? [00:15] Yes :-( I tried another cable as well... [00:16] zorglups2: and did you had it working with a "plain vanilla" ubunut live cd for example? [00:18] I will go reboot my XP laptop connected to the TV and make sure I don't see this green problem (last time I tried was a few monthes ago). [00:18] The live cd was my next idea as well. I planned using a GeexBox or something I have on CD already. [00:18] zorglups2: see what happens when you boot your pc connected to the 42" and then boot your live cd [00:19] I will give it a try now. Thanks anyway for your support... I'll let you know. [00:19] zorglups2: I prefer ubuntu live cd's .. or knoppix or something like that .. with hardware detection for screens [00:19] 01:19 here ... time to go the bed soon :-) [00:19] here too ;-) [00:19] here too :-D [00:19] From Namur (Belgium) [00:19] .nl [00:19] sweden [00:20] So I guess you won't be there when I'll post my result. Have nice dreams... [00:20] * Rigolo is waiting for mythtv to finsih compiling ... want to test a patch for a bug [00:21] well ... I leave this window open most of the time :-) [01:04] all is irman still broken in current build of mythbuntu [01:04] that is the lirc version that is included [01:06] if there is anyone using firewire with a Scientific Atlanta cable box or other cable box that requires p2p priming, please pm me... testers are needed for a new version of the firewire primer. **will not require any changes to your configuration!!** [01:25] man am I bummed [01:25] I can't work on my plugin for a couple of weeks because of work... :( [01:27] javatexan, what is you plugin? [01:34] its super top secret, but it will be very very cool when I am finished :) [01:38] give us a hint at least [01:39] i cant...but its a bummer that I cant work on it for a while... [01:43] I bet it involves tivo [02:02] with nvidia I'm getting 1/4 of the screen randomly showing the myth theme background and a progress bar, while watching tv, or in the guide, any ideas? [02:02] like bad X expose events, but that's probably not it :) [02:17] Hey guys --> I finally got my Remote Frontend Openchrome driver setup correctly (fresh install) and now I cannot watch LiveTV or Recordings ---Frontend closes [02:38] rhpot1991: you are so right [02:38] :) [02:39] yeah...it is prolly completely useless to most myth users [02:40] who knows...right [02:40] javatexan: I'm sure there are those who will appreciate it [02:45] It's working now in script form...I am about to start the gui [03:02] how are you doing the gui javatexan? [03:12] javatexan, super top secrete? [03:12] i like secrets [03:12] want to tell me? [03:13] rhpot1991, mythstream finally got backported today i think [03:24] superm1: thats good to hear [03:24] I'll check the FAQs and see if anything needs to be altered to indicate that [03:38] has anyone used ubuntu with JMicron RAID? [03:38] (successfully) [03:57] i upgraded one of my frontends to hardy and the sound stoped i asked around and googled and finaly found that it was using a 386 kernel instead of the generic, so i followed to instructions to use the generic and remove the 386 one [03:57] now the sound works [03:58] but, my tv is black and white without color [03:58] when i access it with vnc its color, so im sure its something with the video card, any ideas? [04:08] anyone? [04:12] anyone know where irexec starts from? I can't find it in /etc/ or in ~ [04:19] ok, bad question. in what startup script is irexec referenced? [04:24] emja- [04:25] put it in /etc/rc.local [04:25] ? [04:25] no. I'm asking where is it already? [04:25] irexec is not started by default [04:25] realy? [04:25] on my fresh mythbuntu build it *is* starting [04:25] so sudo edit your /etc/rc.local and add [04:25] irexec -d [04:25] before the exit 0 [04:26] hm... ok. must have been a new addition. [04:26] sure, but it is already starting. I'm trying to find where so I can nuke it, then I can start it in my preferred location [04:26] emja, are you sure about it starting automatically? [04:27] yep. If I reboot, it starts [04:27] i just check a fresh 8.04 install and it is not running [04:27] If I kill it, then restart gdm, it also starts [04:27] 7.10 here [04:27] doesn't run by default in my 7.10 either. [04:28] weird [04:28] very very weird [04:29] something is starting it on login or when X/gdm starts [04:29] not during boot. that much I've confirmed [04:30] emja: grep -r iexeced / :) [04:30] irexecd even [04:30] :) [04:30] yes, did that too [04:30] hence my complete lack of folicular growth [04:31] majoridiot: Finally got my remote frontend setup/ 3D enabled... Have a problem watching TV or recordings --> Frontend crashes.. [04:31] Stemming78, i saw your earlier post... successful misery. [04:32] Stemming78, just out of curiosity... why are you beating yer head against a wall to get 3D working on a pvr? [04:32] yah, quite the headache; but think the DRI problem I was experiencing was the worsk [04:32] majoridiot: awesome screensavers! :) [04:32] No, throwing the kids against the wall... Dont want to ruin the looks ;-) [04:33] * emja laughs [04:33] * majoridiot has no sympathy for eye-candy induced problems [04:33] :P [04:34] Must mention, I had to do another install after the last post; screwed up the xorg once again and couldnt recover. [04:34] SO, the kids have been traumatized today! [04:35] Anyways, what do you think? throw the box to the curb? or is there a reason for Frontend crashing.... Can play Videos [04:36] Dar1us & majoridiot: found it; /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh [04:39] majoridiot: was unable to get smooth video when watching TV or Recordings... Thats why I went 3D not to sure if it helped as I cannot get them to play... [04:39] 3D shouldn't have anything to do with video. [04:40] ahhh, well that was unnecessary work for me then.... [04:40] well.. you can use open gl to scale & colour space convert [04:40] So, any ideas as to how to rectify the frontend crashing? [04:41] Dar1us, you *can*... [04:41] Stemming78, what kind of errors do you get in your logs when it crashes? [04:41] majoridiot: and it can be beneficial [04:42] Dar1us, if the driver cooperates... yes, it can. [04:42] majoridiot: yeah :) [04:42] 2008-03-28 22:29:47.164 VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'ivtv' not available. [04:42] codec 'MPEG2' makes 'opengl,xv-blit,xshm,xlib,' available, using 'opengl' instead. [04:42] 2008-03-28 22:29:47.305 GLVid, Error: Fatal error [04:42] Sorry... should have pastebin [04:44] not for that. not an abuse. [04:45] what are you using as a tuner? [04:45] Tuner is on the Backend --> PVR500 [04:46] can anyone recommend a RAID1 card (cheap) that will work with ubunutu? [04:46] I'm allergic to reinstallin because of dead disks [04:49] majoridiot: Well, I disabled 3D (bs) and now Recordings are playing back smooth!!! [04:50] no crashes of course. You have a minute for a small fav por favor? [04:50] well whut'cha know. [04:50] * majoridiot is crunched for time, atm... what's up? [04:51] Hey, but the video is smooth... [04:51] 'twas the point, no? [04:51] Xorg is my pitfall... Have it setup for TV, would like to implement LCD into it... You up for the challenge? [04:52] do you have a dual head card? [04:52] well, what sort of card do you have? [04:52] The Epia has Composite and VGA output. BIOS has TV and CRT settings... Currently both TV and LCD are on, but resolutions are off.... [04:53] * majoridiot is buried with the firewire primer atm... and just about out of steam. [04:53] Using the default xorg.conf [04:53] np major! [04:54] if X already groks them then you should be able to change res with xrandr or some gui tool [04:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4608647#post4608647 [04:59] Dar1us: Tried the Display settings and that made it worse... Not sure which display res is being used, but it seems as if it is for a widescreen [04:59] So, it works just doesnt feel completed. [05:00] odd [05:00] pastebin the output of xrandr? [05:00] var/log/? [05:00] xrandr --screen 1 --prop [05:01] and xrandr --screen 0 --prop [05:01] are you xrandr-ey, baby? [05:03] nothing shows on the screen. Does it write to a log? [05:04] odd [05:05] it should dump what resolutions the displays can do [05:05] yah... Actually, it didnt open a new line; just fashed then back to the same $ prompt [05:06] the output from my laptop looks like.. http://pastebin.ca/961779 [05:06] Stemming78, try redirecting it to a log file? [05:07] Thank you... did not have a space w/ between "screen 0" [05:08] ahh [05:08] learn to read :) [05:08] * majoridiot recommends the fine art of cut-and-paste to Stemming78 [05:09] I am on the Vista box, thanks idiot; cannot run that command from a SSH session [05:09] ahh [05:09] well you could [05:09] log in locally and do xhost + [05:09] then inyour putty do [05:09] export DISPLAY=:0 [05:10] * majoridiot runs before Stemming78's computer asplodes [05:11] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6182/ [05:11] HAH [05:12] is that run locally? [05:12] or via putty? [05:12] local, but same output w/ putty [05:12] thanks for the command... like that [05:12] well that says you onlyhave one screen [05:13] you could try xrandr -d :1 --prop too [05:13] ie xrandr -d :1 --prop [05:13] didnt like either command --- at help [05:13] pastebin what it says [05:14] Can't open display :1 [05:14] xrandr -d :1 --prop [05:14] ok [05:14] * majoridiot is burnt. [05:14] X thinks you only have 1 display [05:14] nite guys. [05:15] k, but some how both screens are displaying ---> just not correctly [05:15] you wish to see the xorg? [05:15] well the video card is probably mirroring them automagically [05:16] but that means you can only have 1 resolution.. [05:16] so, If I were to remove the VGA mon, the video would go out? [05:16] your LCD panel would have a native res, without it it will look crappy [05:16] no I don't think that would happen [05:16] Here is my situation, I dont want to reinstall again... Been doing that tooo many times... [05:16] I wasn't suggesting you reinstall.. [05:17] This box is destined to be setup in my bedroom and be connected to the TV only. If wireless goes down. I will need to be able to fix (cannot on a TV - resolution) so the LCD will be needed at that time. [05:18] Could have an xorg set to have both? or will I need to # fields not in use [05:18] can you explain what the problem is now? [05:18] the TV looks bad or the LCD looks bad? [05:18] Yah, that is why I dont wish to mess w/ the Xorg as everytime I do, I have to reinstall [05:19] Currently dpi looks good on both.... Mouse travels out of screen (btm, left, right) [05:20] Hence, resolution is no good (cutting off about an inch at each local). [05:20] odd [05:20] press the auto button on your LCD? [05:20] I am not sure what knobs there are for tuning the TV out for epia [05:21] No change... Xorg does not have any references to resolution [05:21] Think you can set the resolution from within xorg; but I already tried this (wrong field) and crashed and burned... [05:22] I am covered in blood ATM [05:22] I dunno then sorry [05:22] bad wipeout [05:22] I don't have a problem with pressing ctrl-alt-f1 and editing the file directly.. [05:23] huh? [05:23] nevermind.. [05:23] still learning [05:23] i think you need to find someone with epia experiencce [05:24] Ok, well thanks for trying.../ [05:25] Have a good evening.... Going to setup the wifi and take to the bedroom and watch some skin [05:25] ;-) [05:25] heh cya [05:33] is there a way to get rid of the bar with the application menu at the top of the screen? === MythbuntuGuest86 is now known as JoshT76 [05:43] hello [05:43] has anyone experienced the desktop not filling the entire screen with an nvidia card? [05:43] 7950gt specificall [05:44] y [05:48] anyone here [05:50] no one has said anything for a while, i asked how to get rid of the task bar from the top of the screen but no answer in a half hour or so [05:52] ok [06:03] MythbuntuGuest97: Are you seeing the app bar while in Myth? [06:04] JoshT76: have you tried loading the proprietary driver in MCC [09:11] yes im seeing it while in myth, which is annoying [12:45] After I updated MythWeb music and video sections are not to be seen anymore? [12:45] not even from settings [15:07] hello room. anyone here have an antec fusion black 430 case with working IR receiver? [15:07] I have a silver working [15:08] did you have to do anything special to configure? [15:09] and what remote do you have? [15:09] one of the MCE usb2 models [15:10] here is what I did: setup irmon vfd/lcd in MCC [15:10] then run sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop [15:11] then go to your home directory and run sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 lircd.conf [15:11] could you explain how to setup irmon in MCC? [15:11] follow that, do all your buttons, go twist the wheel [15:11] ahave: MCC == mythbuntu control centre [15:11] launch that, its on the IR tab [15:11] right [15:11] and i have selected a MCE driver [15:12] i am using a remote that came with a hauppauge pvr-500 [15:12] i believe it to be a MCE remote [15:13] perhaps i can selecting the wrong driver? [15:14] rhpot1991: the VFD crashes after a few ir-codes from either my tv-remote (changing volume etc on the tv), or my hauppage remote (trying to get it to work with the built in ir-eye). [15:14] ahave: I think the pvr-500 remove is the same as the pvr-150 one [15:14] EvilGuru, ok. so should i select a MCE driver or a hauppauge one? [15:15] rhpot1991: lcdproc stops to function and dumps an error message to the syslog (about 10 lines per second) [15:15] Try setting it as the 150 one [15:15] (I would be more helpful, but my system is not booted up) [15:15] rhpot1991: do you know what that could be? since you got it working :) [15:16] EvilGuru, I only have 3 options under hauppauge... DVB-s card, Nova-T 500, and TV-card [15:16] try tv card [15:16] should i generate dynamic button mapping? [15:17] if you want it to work, select the imon VFD/LCD one [15:17] then you can test your remotes by doing sudo cat /dev/lirc0 [15:17] if garbage shows up, it can read your remote [15:17] then you just need to irrecord to make your config [15:17] gotta walk my dogs, I'll be back in a bit [15:18] i do not see the 'imon VFD/LCD' one [15:26] my remote looks kinda like this... http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mceusb/PVR_500_MCE.jpg [15:28] what type of remotes do people use? i was debating getting something good [15:29] sony ps3 remote! [15:30] yeah? did u build a receiver [15:30] it's called "bluetooth". why build a receiver [15:31] i was unaware. so how did you get that to interface with lirc [15:31] i didn't. keyboard emulation. [15:32] interesting approach. runs into problems though if you use more than one application like mythtv + xine + mplayer, right? [15:32] if the keyboard maps vary, yes [15:32] fortunately, i don't run more than one application [15:32] yeah - it would be interesting to see the direction of the lirc package as bluetooth becomes a more viable option [15:33] i think its going to be more of an interface daemon not just IR [15:33] lirc is a relic. it needs replacing from scratch [15:33] directhex i wouldn't say that. it's a very usable package [15:34] it's not remotely usable. compiling per-system kernel packages is not usable [15:34] i have my remotes setup so that I can read them, now how do i map the buttons to actions? [15:35] true, but what other choice do you have? [15:35] ahave: .lirc [15:35] do i have to use irrecord? [15:35] do you have configuration files already [15:35] idk [15:35] because there is a configuration file saying "this hex code = this button" [15:35] i think i found my remote here: http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/mceusb/ [15:35] directhex you have a good point. but it does get the job done [15:36] ahave: good. did you install that file, etc [15:36] no i have not [15:36] can you link me to a guide? or is just a simple copy [15:36] i could not find that file in the MCC [15:36] what ubuntu are you using? [15:36] abarbaccia, so did the 2.2 kernel, MKNOD, and XF86Config-4. but we've moved on since then [15:37] 7.10 [15:37] directhex agreed. i'm interested in seeing where its gonna go esp because more people are using remotes with computers, etc [15:37] i've seen snippets of code to handle remotes in dbus. i'll wait & see, i think [15:37] abarbaccia, MCC claims to be using the mceusb config file [15:37] ahave: run "irw" and then push buttons on your remote - do you get output? [15:38] abarbaccia, no i do not [15:38] ahave: run lsmod | grep lirc -- are the modules loaded? [15:38] abarbaccia, but i do with cat /dev/lirc0 [15:39] ahave: you want to look at your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file [15:40] abarbaccia, lsmod | grep lirc -- leads me to think that modules are not loaded.. i only have information next to the last 3 lines, the frist 3 have the text '0' [15:40] ahave: you want to see what remote control file its defining. and look at the lircd process (ps aux | grep lircd) to make sure its loading the right now [15:40] Hello i have just installed mythtv on ubuntu gutsy, and it says: no UPnP backends found [15:40] ahave: if they are listed, then they are loaded [15:40] if i click it further: another message: cannot login to database? [15:41] boritek: you need to setup you db connection and dont worry about the uPNP right now [15:41] boritek, how can i do that? [15:42] did you just ask youself? [15:42] abarbaccia, what do i need to loof for in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file [15:43] ahave: that's what defines how the driver is loaded - which modules and what arguments. is lircd running? (ps aux | grep lirc) [15:43] abarbaccia, i get 2 lines outputed after (ps aux | grep lirc) [15:43] one with root, the other with my username [15:44] ahave: well, you only need one running and it should be root [15:44] so kill that other one [15:44] the one as root is /usr/sbin/lircd--device=/dev/lirc0 [15:44] abarbaccia, how can i set up the db connection? [15:45] abarbaccia, is that correct? [15:45] boritek: run mythtv-setup [15:45] i have already done that [15:45] ahave: is that the only argument that's being passed to it? [15:45] that is when it tells the error [15:45] that i mentioned above [15:46] boritek: okay, there's a file somewhere that it reads for the initial connection. let me try to locate where it is [15:46] abarbaccia, yes. i believe so.. let me see if i can post the output somewhere [15:47] boritek: i can't seem to find it.... but theres a file somewhere that spells out the the initial connections [15:47] boritek: its in /usr or /home i think [15:48] abarbaccia, /home/you/.mythtv/mysql.txt? [15:48] abarbaccia, http://www.rafb.net/p/IjCxY979.html [15:49] boritek: yes [15:49] ok, what shal i do now, [15:49] ? [15:50] ahave: that file is not loading the configuration file. it needs to be like "lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 /path/to/myremote.conf" [15:50] boritek: make sure that has the correct information [15:50] abarbaccia, ok. so i need to chanage that in the /etc/lirc/hardware/conf file? [15:50] abarbaccia, i dont know, coz i never used mysql earlier [15:50] ahave: that would be the best way [15:50] it came with the mythtv package [15:51] boritek: sorry - i gotta run. but you gotta get mythtv what it needs to login to the database [15:51] abarbaccia, is there another way? [15:51] ahave: you can test by just starting the daemon by yourself [15:51] ahave: i gotta run but you can just type "sudo lircd >" [15:52] i guess i have to setup mysql somehow first. but i dont know how [15:52] boritek: it's all part of the game [15:52] does it just take the .conf as an argument? [15:53] ahave: man lircd - but yes [15:53] abarbaccia, ok. thanks alot! [15:54] abarbaccia, is there a setup GUI for mysql? [16:02] ahave: you don't have any imon in MCC? [16:02] correct [16:02] you need imon for the onboard receiever if you choose mce it will look for an external usb dongle [16:03] hmm [16:03] so why is imon not listed? and how can i add? [16:03] are you actually seeing /dev/lirc0 when you choose mce? [16:04] under modules? or config? [16:04] under /dev/lirc0 [16:04] cd /dev/ [16:04] oh [16:04] ls -la lirc* [16:04] one sec [16:06] http://www.rafb.net/p/9OSXhO58.html [16:06] if you sudo cat /dev/lirc0 [16:06] and hit buttons on your remote does it show junk on the screen [16:06] yup [16:07] and with the knob [16:07] ok, now run irw [16:07] but if i run irw [16:07] and see if anythign happens [16:07] it does not [16:07] nothing [16:07] what happens then just empyt, but it continues to run? [16:07] it just sits there [16:07] ok good [16:07] do sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop [16:08] then go to your home dir and do sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 lircd.conf [16:08] follow that, do your buttons and knob [16:08] then copy that to /etc/lirc [16:08] then run mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [16:08] then restart [16:08] so i must remap my entire remote? [16:08] is there not a config file already made/ [16:09] there might be, but its easier to just make one instead of messing with ones that may or may not work [16:09] I can give you mine, but who knows if it has all the buttons, and who knows if it will work since I used lirc_imon [16:09] it only takes like 5 minutes to map your buttons [16:09] ok, i will just do it then [16:10] is there a guide on how to map? [16:10] then you can go in and tweak .lircrc [16:10] check your home dir for .lircrc [16:10] I think in your version you don't have a .lirc folder yet [16:11] hmm [16:11] i see a lircd.conf [16:11] but it is empty [16:12] in your home directory? [16:12] yes [16:12] do you have a mythtv user on there? [16:12] use [16:12] yes [16:12] run this [16:12] locate .lircrc [16:12] and go check the places that points at [16:12] not found [16:12] whatever user runs the frontend, thats where you want to change it [16:13]
