[03:20] <sabhain> sorry if I'm in the wrong place .. but struggling with nvidia drivers for my mythbox
[03:20] <sabhain> had things running with the open source driver from nvidia.com .. but couldn't get xvmc to work with myth
[03:21] <sabhain> so now i'm trying to get the restricted binaries to go .. but 7.10 isn't recognizing the card, and there4 not loading the module / driver?
[03:44] <majoridiot> sabhain, still here?
[04:17] <sabhain> back .. you still here majoridiot?
[04:24] <sabhain> i'm able to see the nvidia identified within lspci .. so that's an improvment
[04:24] <sabhain> and modprobe nvidia-new loads up ..
[04:25] <sabhain> which allows me to boot to X .. and the restricted drivers manager says that the nvidia driver is in use and enabled
[04:26] <sabhain> but i can't run nvidia-settings .. says i'm "not using an nvidia driver" ...
[04:26] <sabhain> I know things aren't quite right .. gotta be close, but I'm migrting from mandriva .. and it's just different enought that I'm getting stuck
[04:44] <sabhain> trying to make every effort to use the restricted drivers .. per some mythtv specific advice i've gotten
[04:44] <sabhain> seems like the opensource driver is more problematic when it comes to good playback / xvmc
[08:41] <tbonemadz> hello
[08:44] <tbonemadz> I'm having a problem with MythTv locking up on any video being played.  I'm somewhat a noob at linux but know how to get around.  I upgraded to a large lcd tv and finally have my resolution fixed at 1920 x 1080 at 60hz.  Image colors are fixed but my video locks up any time i try to play a video within myth.
[08:44] <tbonemadz>  This makes me thing its the engine it uses to show video because VLC video player works perfect
[10:32] <KillerKiwi2005> hi I created a custom menu file but the music entry just does nothing... ive double checked the syntax.. is there a special trick for plugins?
[10:55] <KillerKiwi2005> hmmm JUMP music play works....
[12:23] <reclusivemonkey> hello everyone
[12:24] <Koffa> are the .nuv's that come out of transcoding viewable on eg. windows media player?
[12:24] <reclusivemonkey> looks like channels.dat is poorly again (no surprise there); http://talk.radiotimes.com/thread.jspa?threadID=300000226
[12:25] <reclusivemonkey> Koffa: No, I don't believe WMP has native .nuv support
[12:25] <Koffa> are there any instructions to get something else out from transcode?-)
[12:31] <reclusivemonkey> Koffa: you can change the file format of recordings to mpeg I think; there should be something on the Wiki
[12:34] <Koffa> first it records mpeg, but all transcoding-options I've tried produce these .nuv's
[12:35] <Koffa> (and tablet-encode producess off-sync videos, but that's not mythtv-problem (: )
[12:35] <reclusivemonkey> Yeah I never had any luck myself getting anything other than NUV out...
[15:17] <sebrock> how can I get to know which lirc package that is included in mythbuntu?
[15:17] <sebrock> I need a cvs version because of the iMON IR/LCD
[15:17] <laga> sebrock: apt-cache policy lirc
[15:18] <sebrock> ok is the info anywhere on the web? dont have access to the frontend right now
[15:18] <sebrock> Package: lirc (0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7) [universe]
[15:19] <Koffa> damn autocommit
[15:21] <sebrock> doesn not include the LCD driver... anyhow is it then possible to remove the lirc package from mythbuntu and install from cvs without having to remove all them other packages?
[15:21] <sebrock> apt-get suggests removing basically all mythbuntu stuff
[15:22] <laga> sebrock: create a proper .deb from the cvs source
[15:23] <sebrock> is that the only way?
[15:24] <sebrock> I suck at creating debs
[15:24] <sebrock> especially proper ones :D
[15:25] <laga> dunno.. maybe you can create a fake lirc deb.. or just install over your existing lirc isntall, but that'll make your system unsupportable
[15:27] <laga> haha

[15:28] <sebrock> compress that, I dont feel like reading :D
[15:29] <laga> gee. :)
[15:29] <laga> basically, some guy was making custom driver packs for creative sound cards to let them run properly on vista
[15:30] <laga> granted, he also made 'ported' some new features to older cards which might be the real issue why creative is pissed off
[15:30] <laga> yeah, so creative is basically telling him not to do that anymore, causing a nice uproar in their forums
[15:31] <laga> their drivers must be awful
[15:39] <laga> 86 pages. woohoow.
[15:51] <mishehu> bah.
[15:51]  * mishehu is happy, making progress on getting his mythbuntu frontend working again
[15:54] <mishehu> however, I do have an annoying problem still with sound
[15:57] <mishehu> mythtv on my system (gigabyte ga-ma69gm-s2h, uses intel-hd module) plays back normal PCM over SPDIF without any problem.  but DVD playback produces a pulsing sound isntead of the audio.  Xine plays dvds fine and outputs a52 out the SPDIF no problem.  I tried changing the settings for the alsa device and alsa spdif device to use, but when I change from default I get no sound at all
[15:57] <mishehu> I just updated to mythtv 0.21 on gutsy 7.10
[15:57] <levander> Can you burn an ISO to DVD using mytharchive?  Or, do most people use some other program?
[15:59] <kenzu> hey
[15:59] <mishehu> err I think gutsy is it's name, whatever, it's from 7.10
[15:59] <mishehu> the most recent stable
[15:59] <kenzu> I need some help with my imon pad remote
[16:00] <kenzu> I can get everything working on hardy, but the pad
[16:01] <mishehu> heh, I'm having problems with my ati remote wonder on 7.10.
[16:01] <mishehu> lirc is a bitch of a program sometimes.
[16:01] <laga> mishehu: ati remote wonder RF? the first one?
[16:02] <kenzu> I have found a page that say I should put a option line in/etc modprobe.d/options with "options lirc_imon pad2keys_active=1" but then It fail to load lirc_imon
[16:02] <mishehu> laga: yeah, the original one.
[16:02] <kenzu> do I have to patch lirc i hardy?
[16:02] <mishehu> laga: I was even running irw on the lircd socket, and it wasn't showing any key presses
[16:03] <mishehu> using the lirc_atiusb
[16:03] <mishehu> kenzu: you can do "modinfo lirc_imon.ko" and it should show you the accepted parameters.
[16:04] <laga> mishehu: it worked fine for me. i even provided the appriorite lircd.conf ;)
[16:05] <mishehu> laga: that's the funny thing, it did provide the right lirc files and all.
[16:05] <mishehu> I noticed that on the same machine I have a problem with USB mice as well.
[16:05] <laga> ouch
[16:05] <mishehu> something about kernel 2.6.22
[16:05] <laga> try a different usb port..
[16:06] <mishehu> laga: the ports on the machine are fine.  my USB keyboard works fine.
[16:06] <mishehu> and the mouse works fine on other machines (windows and slamd64 linux)
[16:06] <kenzu> mishehu: were is lirc_imon.ko?
[16:07] <mishehu> laga: you using kernel or userspace settings for your remote?
[16:07] <mishehu> kenzu: actually if you do "modinfo lirc_imon" it should work
[16:07] <mishehu> no need to enter the path
[16:07] <laga> mishehu: i think i was using the userpsace stuff
[16:08] <kenzu> mishehu: hmm and then pad2keys should be on the parm: line?
[16:08] <laga> it was a bit tricky to figure out nice repeat/delay values for that remote..
[16:08] <laga> i'm not using that remote anymore, tho
[16:08] <laga> too big and bulky and it couldn't control my TV
[16:08] <mishehu> laga: hmm I might just replace the damn thing.  I've had enough headache with it
[16:09] <mishehu> laga: shame this machine is too small for my audigy 2zs, the remote that came with that worked perfectly and without much hassle at all.
[16:09] <mishehu> laga: what do you use for a remote tehse days?
[16:10] <mishehu> kenzu: well you can check to make sure you're sending it valid parameters..

[16:10] <kenzu> hmm how doI patch lirc on hardy?
[16:10] <laga> mishehu: together with lirc_serial

[16:11] <mishehu> hard ot cut & paste from putty

[16:12] <laga> ;)
[16:13] <mishehu> laga: this is the one I like ;-)  http://tinyurl.com/2cmwvs
[16:14] <mishehu> looks like they might sell it separate
[16:14] <laga> i thought you already have that remote? maybe you can just use a separate receiver
[16:15] <mishehu> no, no they don't.  :-/
[16:15] <mishehu> laga: yeah, and there in lies the rub
[16:15] <mishehu> trying to find a receiver that can read the codes and work with lirc.
[16:16] <laga> ouch :/
[16:18]  * laga wouldn't buy creative these days ;)
[16:19] <mishehu> laga: why not?
[16:19] <mishehu> I wouldn't buy X-fi until they release REAL support for linux
[16:20] <laga> mishehu: there's some great web drama going on on their forums.

[16:22] <kenzu> no help on patching lirc on hardy?
[16:23] <laga> kenzu: how is it different than patching it on other distros?
[16:24] <kenzu> I don't no. have not done it before
[16:24] <laga> kenzu: apt-get source lirc
[16:24] <laga> to get the source package
[16:24] <laga> then apply your patch
[16:24] <laga> then rebuild using debuild or dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[16:26] <mishehu> laga: seems pretty typical of many major hardware companies these days.  :-/
[16:26] <mishehu> "you stole our IP!"
[16:26] <laga> heh
[16:26] <laga> yeah
[16:26] <mishehu> it's the streisand effect just waiting to happen.  though I think the guy might have slipped under the radar had he not solicited donations at all
[16:27] <mishehu> they did similar shit when teh sblive was first released.
[16:27] <mishehu> took it what, 2 or so years until they released anything for linux
[16:27] <mishehu> and then it took another 6 months to year to get opensource so it could be merged into alsa
[16:27] <mishehu> I wish gravis still made soundcards these days.
[16:28]  * mishehu looks at his old Interwave card that can't be used on anything anymore.  heh.

[16:41] <mishehu> ugh I can't find anything on google about my audio problem.  I can't see how this is an .asoundrc issue if xine can spit out a52 streams directly to SPDIF.
[16:41] <mishehu> and seeing that so far music works fine it's just dvds that don't...
[16:43] <mishehu> anybody else geetting crackling when you have dolby digital or dts spit out spdif on mythtv's dvd player?

[18:14] <dthacker-laptop> Hi, is there a way to probe the video card from the command line to determine what model it is?
[18:17] <zabadapp> dthacker-laptop: lspci maybe?
[18:18] <dthacker-laptop> that worked.
[18:18] <dthacker-laptop> tnx
[18:19] <dthacker-laptop> I don't need TV-out enabled to just playback to the monitor or to another front end, right?
[18:19] <zabadapp> correct
[18:20] <dthacker-laptop> this is a "dry-run" install.  Today's goal is to get an install that will record and playback to monitor.
[18:36] <dthacker-laptop> wow, the manual has very little on standard installation.  Guess I'll go back and choose advanced.
[18:37] <zabadapp> what were you missing?
[18:37] <dthacker-laptop> I'm on a screenshot for Host Address Backend Setup, and I don't see it in the manual.
[18:38] <dthacker-laptop> I chose the wrong fork in the road :)
[18:38] <dthacker-laptop> ah wait.
[18:39] <dthacker-laptop> back on track
[18:39] <zabadapp> don't know what you meant, but probably just localhost? btw: you did create a separate /home partition? much easier to do complete reinstalls and keep you good stuff then
[18:40] <dthacker-laptop> nah, but I'll do that next time.
[18:41] <dthacker-laptop> Will changing "Master Server IP Adress" actuall set the server address, because there was no where to do that on the install.  I'm still running a DHCP address
[18:49] <dthacker-laptop> my mouse only shows up in the "black" sections of the text box on the setup pages.  How can I fix that?
[18:57] <dthacker-laptop> well that's a showstopper.  off to the forums....
[19:09] <tgm4883_laptop> dthacker, the standard install is supposed to be pretty straight forward.  Where was it confusing you?
[19:15] <dthacker-laptop> oops didn't answer fast enough
[19:17] <MythbuntuGuest54> Help.  my installation continues to crash.
[19:17] <dthacker-laptop> MythbuntuGuest54: where in the process and with what error message?
[19:18] <MythbuntuGuest54> about 24 percent saying bad cd or hard drive
[19:19] <dthacker-laptop> MythbuntuGuest54: try another CD or try another hard drive.
[19:19] <ahave> hello room, if i am using irrecord.. can i hand edit the output .conf file to combine multiple recordings?
[19:20] <MythbuntuGuest54> I have been successful in installing Ubuntu 6.06 on this machine this morning.
[19:20] <MythbuntuGuest54> this is the 3 live cd of mythbuntu to try also.
[19:21] <dthacker-laptop> MythbuntuGuest54: was 6.06 a cd you burned?
[19:21] <MythbuntuGuest54> yes
[19:22] <zabadapp> MythbuntuGuest54: try the cd-check from the boot menu first, then try the mem-check from the same menu, then you know if it's the cd-reader, the cd or the memory that's broken
[19:22] <MythbuntuGuest54> i am in the process of running memtest at the moment
[19:22] <dthacker-laptop> cd's and cd readers are fickle things.  It's unlikely there is a bug causing your problems, you will have to change the variables one at a time until you get a successful outcome.
[19:24] <MythbuntuGuest54> cd check is ok and memtest is good so far.
[19:25] <dthacker-laptop> MythbuntuGuest54: I know this is frustrating.  It's bitten me several times.  Do you have another CD reader you could try?
[19:25] <MythbuntuGuest54> that is my next step.  i will install and try.  thanks for the help.
[19:26] <dthacker-laptop> good luck!
[19:26] <ahave>  if i have 2 irrecord output files, can i hand edit them into one file?
[19:27] <dthacker-laptop> ahave: I don't know anything about those. sorry... anybody else?

Reinstalled it with Kubuntu-desktop and now cant find the configuration. The password seemed the same and the frontend is not connecting to the database.

[20:06] <ahave> wow! can someone explain to me how mythbuntu-lircrc-generator works?
[20:23] <mpontillo> ahave: I have no idea how it works, but you can browse the source yourself, just run 'apt-get source mythbuntu-lirc-generator' from a terminal =) ... looks like a set of python scripts

[20:50] <schultza> mysql is not loading... now what? reinstall again?
[20:51] <dthacker-laptop> ok, I think I messed up.  On the input connections, all of my options say "none"   Shouldn't this be seeing my Haupage card at this point?
[20:51] <schultza> i have an hvr-950, what do you have dthacker?
[20:51] <zabadapp> you should be able to add a connection and then select your previously added card

[20:57] <schultza> and index
[20:58] <zabadapp> you should have a /var/log/mysql.log ... however, all my /var/log/mysql.logs (older ones are gzipped) are empty .. may be because nothing problematic ever happened?
[20:59] <schultza> cat mysql.log and mysql.err and empty

[21:04] <dthacker-laptop> at the command line sudo -i

[21:06] <dthacker-laptop> ok, my mythfill is done. rebooting and crossing fingers

[22:45] <zabadapp> bad luck ... but still i think there are some options (mysqld --verbose --help) to turn on debugging and try to start it that way ...
[22:49] <Piffer> Anyone here got the Microsoft Media Center keyboard/remote to work in MythBuntu?
[22:55] <ahave_> Piffer, still need help?
[23:09] <ahave> i am trying to setup my alsa device, I am having trouble finding where to do this step: Set it via the GUI or in the "settings" table for the "AudioDevice" and "AudioOutputDevice" values.
[23:09] <ahave> where can i find the settings table?
[23:14] <MythbuntuGuest57> I'm running gutsy, and the screen saver preferences has no screen savers listed, for the life of me I can't figure out what package(s) I need to get to install some screensavers?
[23:17] <javatexan> anyone doing bluray writing?
[23:17] <javatexan> is there a compat list somewhere for bluray writers in ubuntu 7.10?
[23:23] <Piffer> Just wondering if the microsoft MediaCenter keyboard/remote works, and if there is a way to get it working with Mythbuntu, I'm getting rid of my Windoze media center box :-)
[23:27] <TelnetManta> Piffer: AFAIK they work
[23:28] <Piffer> sweet.. then bye bye Microcrap media center box...
[23:37] <javatexan> never mind...I can get a 1T hdd for ~$300 which is a lot of bluray disks.....LOL  I'll just add hdds until bluray comes out of the clouds....LOL
[23:39]  * tgm4883_laptop hopes bluray dies
[23:39] <majoridiot> BD+ is broken... blueray is out of the clouds.
[23:47]  * javatexan too
[23:47]  * javatexan me too
[23:49]  * majoridiot makes all assurances the BR is not going any place anytime soon.
[23:49]  * majoridiot guarantees it.
[23:51] <destructar> hi all... just tried changing up my video drivers for nvidia (had manually installed them but reinstalled via restricted drivers)
[23:52] <destructar> now I'm stuck in "low graphics mode" because my screen and graphics card "could not be detected correctly"
[23:52] <destructar> not sure what to do now... tried various tutorials nothing seems to work
[23:53] <destructar> edited xorg.conf file and changed driver to "nvidia" but no luck...
[23:53] <destructar> any ideas or should I tried #ubuntu?
[23:53] <destructar> currently running ubuntu 7.10
[23:54] <majoridiot> sudo apt-get reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[23:54] <majoridiot> should get you into a safe gfx mode after you reconfig.
[23:54] <majoridiot> no
[23:54] <majoridiot> sorry
[23:54] <majoridiot> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[23:55] <destructar> what will this do exactly?
[23:55] <majoridiot> allow you to choose the x server settings
[23:55] <destructar> ok cool
[23:55]  * majoridiot has apt-get on the brain
[23:55] <majoridiot> sorry
[23:56] <destructar> "package 'server-xorg-phigh' is not installed and no info is available"
[23:57] <destructar> *xserver-xorg-phigh'
[23:57] <Piffer> apt-get is a drug
[23:58] <majoridiot> sorry again...
[23:58] <majoridiot> totally botched that one front to back
[23:58] <destructar> lol
[23:58] <majoridiot> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[23:58] <levander> Can I use myth to burn ISO's to a blank DVD-R?
[23:58]  * majoridiot slows down a little
[23:59] <destructar> so it autodetected nv instead of nvidia... any idea if that's correct? everything I read claims nvidia should be used
