[00:00] nv is the open source driver [00:00] that will get you into a safe mode [00:00] oh i see [00:00] then use MCC restricted drivers manager to install the nvidia driver [00:03] anyone know if mythtv in the repos has a custom screensaver?? [00:05] majoridiot: i ran through the reconfiguration but I'm back where I was.. I think we have some miscommunication: I think I'm already in safe mode [00:05] when I boot up I have crappy 800x600 resolution going... Can't get anything higher and the installed restricted drivers show as if they are not in use [00:05] and now you want to install the nvidia driver? [00:05] it's already installed [00:05] in MCC restricted drivers tab- right pane... run nvidia settings [00:06] change resolutions there. [00:11] this blows... something is wrong here [00:12] clicked on nvidia settings from mcc and it brings me to the settings, but pops up a window that says "you do not appear to be using the vidia x driver. please edit your x onfiguration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root) and restart the x server. [00:13] so i ran it and just restarted my computer... rinse and repeat .... it's as though my settings won't save [00:14] undert the restricted drivers window: my nvidia accelerated graphics driver is enabled but has status "not in use" whatever that's all about... [00:14] the sad thing is i had this running previously with a manual instal direct from nvidia's site, but was given advice to switch to ubuntu restricted drivers install due to various issues i was having [00:15] under screen and graphics preferences i can't get the driver to change from "vesa generic" to nvidia... absolutely nothing will save when I change it [00:16] Is there a way to start the mythtv-frontend in a smaller window instead of fullscreen? [00:22] dthacker, there's a setting in frontend setup to run it in a window. under General, i think. [00:23] destructar, enable the restricted driver if it shows not in use. [00:23] enable how? the "enabled" box is already checked [00:23] but status is "not in use"...?? makes no sense [00:24] again: I had the driver from nvidia installed at first manually, however I figured that the restricted driver would overwrite it (and appears to have since my resolution sucks) [00:27] majoridiot: thanks! I found it in the appearance settings [00:31] dthacker, great! [00:31] now I've killed my audio.... [00:31] :) [00:35] nah, myth just adjusted the mixer. [00:38] i think i found the issue... i have generic kernel running but "common" restricted modules installed... doh! [00:41] awesome! fixed it [00:56] ok now i'm getting a weird error only when trying to run mythfrontend [00:57] "xlib: extention "glx" missing on display ":0.0" [00:57] any ideas? [01:35] i keep having trouble with connecting to the mysql database [01:35] any suggestions? [01:36] how can i check if its running? [01:36] mysql [01:43] well its not in the running processes [01:43] so how can i start it? [01:43] :s [01:44] and why does this happen automatically with EVERYONE EXEPT ME??? [01:44] i never had mythtv working :s [01:44] imagine tha [01:44] tand i tried at least 10 times, everytime i reinstalled i tried :s [01:44] allways cannot connect to mysql blabla [01:45] PEBCAK error [01:45] i have no clue what that means [01:46] have you tried connecting to it from the same machine? [01:46] yes thats all i want to do in fact [01:46] so from the same machine, do [01:46] mysql -u root [01:46] and see if it connects [01:47] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [01:47] did you have a mysql server setup before? [01:47] or did you setup a root user? [01:47] i have no clue :s [01:48] i didnt have a mysal server [01:48] is this a standard mythbuntu install? [01:48] well i had one but i uninstalled before i installed mythbuntu [01:48] yep standard mythbuntu install on gutsy [01:48] so you have a gutsy machine and installed mythbuntu on top of that? [01:48] allthough i had mythtv installed from the repo, but just uninstalled everything before i installed mythbuntu [01:48] correct [01:49] are you wanting this to be just a mythtv machine or a desktop too? [01:49] desktop too [01:50] why is mysql-server not running if i installed regular :s [01:51] sounds like it is running [01:52] why can mythtv not connect to it then? [01:52] ok simply: should i give up? [01:52] no [01:52] don't give up [01:52] sounds like you had it setup before and possibly had a root password set [01:53] ok so uninstall does never work [01:53] * Ward1983 notes never to uninstall any prog again [01:53] since apperantly it keeps settings etc [01:54] well unless you do a purge, then yes, it keeps settings [01:54] is that the same as choosing for complete removal in synaptic? [01:55] do [01:55] sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status [01:55] pastebin results? [01:55] yes [01:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61693/ [01:57] k [01:57] and you don't remember if you had a root password before? [01:57] not that i know of [01:58] i dunno what you mean [01:58] i have a regular root password yes [01:58] the one i use for sudo right? [01:59] sec [01:59] ok [01:59] try this [01:59] mysql -u root -p [02:00] then enter your root password [02:00] Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. [02:00] Your MySQL connection id is 261 [02:01] does it say [02:01] mysql> [02:01] ] [02:02] yep [02:03] ok, so you do have a root password set [02:03] apperantly [02:03] so most likely, you don't have a mythtv db setup [02:03] sec [02:05] do [02:05] dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [02:06] tgm4883_laptop, thanx connected now [02:06] * Ward1983 crosses fingers [02:12] pfff lol [02:13] i have absolutely no clue why it doesnt want to open my capturecard, etc [02:13] i saw aome other erros too but its all getting oto complicated [02:13] i need to go for a smoke first to calm down [02:13] * Ward1983 goes smoking [02:13] alright, well i'm off to dinner, but i'll be back on later [02:14] thanx for the help [02:14] enjoy dinner [02:14] see you later probably [02:26] ahave_: any luck with your fusion? [02:26] ahave_: I'd be interested in comparing lircd.conf's so I can know if this is something universal that other people could use my config and so on [02:28] hello rhpot1991 [02:28] i have the remote working [02:29] havent modified the .lirc file to use the volume knob yet [02:29] excelent, any chance you can pastebin your lircd.conf? [02:29] hmm [02:29] !pastebin | ahave_ [02:29] ahave_: 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) [02:29] yes, but i might have to wait till later [02:29] but i will get it to you [02:29] if I can verify the same configs work with fusion black and silver then it can be included into MCC [02:29] alright just yell [02:30] good to hear it worked [02:30] rather than having a 2nd box running myth backend db, can I setup the db locally? [02:34] Piffer: you can run a BE and FE on the same machine, if that is what you are asking [02:42] rhpot1991, know much about getting hd audio to work correctly? [02:42] ahave_: can't say I do [02:42] maybe in a few days if I ever feel like playing with mine [02:42] i am trying to get audio through hdmi, cant seem to get it configured correctly quite yet [02:46] its my understanding that that wont work [02:46] hi all... i have been having issues with mythbuntu all night (user errors)... reinstalled mythbuntu from synaptic just now... enabled machine for frontend, backend and ubuntu desktop... [02:46] though my understanding could be out of date [02:46] ... restarted computer, came up with two user logins as usual 1 login takes me to mythbuntu, the other takes me to Xfce 4... wtf? [02:47] i'm not even sure what xfce is... don't know what on earth i did [02:47] xfce is the default desktop environment in mythbuntu [02:48] how the hell do i get ubuntu back? [02:48] your 2nd login prob isn't enabled to run mythtv by default [02:48] that's fine... basically i just want to get my regular ubuntu secondary login back [02:48] there is a checkbox for gnome in MCC [02:48] if you want that [02:50] looking for it now... [02:50] hmm no luck... where is it located? [02:50] (i'm in mcc now) [02:51] when you go to log in, you need to change the session [02:52] ah i see [02:52] what session do i want? GNOME? [02:52] indeed [02:52] nice [02:53] sweet looks like everything is good again... couldn't start up anything requiring glx (which is a lot) but all better now :) [02:59] any ideas on why my windows would be popping up with no info bars? i can't move them around the screen or anything, very annoying [02:59] actually it looks like their info bar takes over the entire top bar of the screen... i'm guessing this is a setting somewhere? [03:11] back from dinner... Yes, if I can run Myth BE and FE on the same box, is there a setup app for the BE? [03:12] Piffer, mythtv-setup [03:13] Thanks [03:16] hmm I must have missed a step somewhere. When I fire up mythtv-setup, I'm asked for a db etc, but it says in cannot connect. [03:16] Is there a SQL script to get the database setup, as that might be the issue here? [03:17] strange [03:17] how did you install? [03:17] just from the CD... and I think I skipped one step.. [03:18] strange, the db should be setup [03:18] sec [03:18] Maybe I can run the installer again to see if I can fix it that way. Just looked in mysql, and there's only a information_scema db.. no myth stuff [03:18] dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [03:21] thanks, that did create the database. when I fired up mythtv, selected language, then filled in the info I still get Cannot login to database... [03:21] you went through mythtv-setup? [03:22] yes... [03:22] ok, what password are you using when you fire up the frontend? [03:22] I've set the same password on both BE and FE [03:23] Piffer, how did you set the password? [03:23] First time I booted, I got the nice GUI, and in settings I was able to set the password [03:23] I'll try one thing here... 2 sec [03:23] ok [03:24] thats not the right password it wants [03:24] look in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [03:24] use that password in mythfrontend [03:27] I must have screwed up somewhere. When I start the setup, I see that it's Unable to conect to database, and I get an access-denied error with the user I set duing the reconfigure db setup [03:30] I think I found it... when I do the reconfigure, I get an access denied warning. So I'll have to make some changes to mysql access rights before I can get this going [03:39] ha, a little grant command in mysql, and we're rock'n [03:50] if i try to watch tv trough mythtv it says all recording inputs are used, i dont have any recordings etc [03:50] i setup my device as /etc/video0 which is working [03:50] tested with mplayer [03:52] Is there an issue with mythtv not being able to play mp3 files? [04:02] Piffer, you need to enable restricted codecs in MCC [04:02] Ward1983, what does mythweb status say about the status of the tuners [04:08] tgm4883_laptop, never mind i foudn it :) [04:11] tgm4883_laptop: Thanks! [04:12] any nvidia restricted experts here? === dan is now known as sabhain [04:22] ok everything seems to work a bit now [04:22] only some stations dont work well [04:22] so now i can watch channels i dont want to watch lol [04:23] everything i want to watch doesnt work [04:34] good thing i have a VCR that can output it trough conponent [04:34] Ward1983, what isn't working? [04:35] tgm4883_laptop, just some channels [04:35] i get some interuptions at some channels [04:35] while my CVYs tuner has no problems with them [04:38] What is the command to start mythtv frontend from command line? [04:38] now im trying to setup my laptop as a second backend, and frontend offcourse [04:38] mythtv-frontend i think Piffer [04:38] not sure though [04:39] no, tried that... lemme do a search. Since it's still crashing upon playing mp3 files, I need to have something show me an error or some output. [04:40] Piffer, synaptic says: /usr/bin/mythtv [04:40] mythfrontend :-) [04:41] now I can see that I'm getting some errors too [04:41] just mythtv should work too lol [04:44] is it opssible to use the tuner of my desktop over the network with my laptop? [04:44] and stream the video to the laptop [04:46] oddly enough now my Myth plays MP3 files without crashing ... [04:47] lol just be glad :p [04:48] I know. Just have a weird feeling when things automagically starts to work :-) [04:52] offcourse over here things dont work [04:52] well half lol [04:52] desktop works laptop wont connect to it [04:53] firewall setting? [04:54] should be ok since it gets opened automatically if you choose that you want to connect other computers [04:54] ok. Have you tested nmap to scan the remote port, just to make sure it's open? [04:55] nope not yet [04:55] dunno all the commands and its getting too late to google for them [04:56] getting too late to google? No, Google is open 24/7 :P [04:56] ooohhh I finally got my wifi on the laptop to work ... [04:57] 5;56here [04:57] now I need the Buffalo wifi on the myth box to work... hopefully it's supported.. [04:57] wifi allways worked out of the box here [04:57] ah that's early... late? [04:57] hehe [04:57] only the intel 2100 gave some trouble a few years back [04:57] yeah didnt sleep yet [04:57] hopefully you don't need to got to work in about 3 hours? [04:57] and my vacation is over, today is the last day [04:57] that sucks [04:58] then back to the annoying shitty crappy school for every day [04:58] I was going to call in sick tomorrow if I could not get the wifi working... hehe [04:58] well its my choive, being unemployed or going to that crappy stupid school with their crappy unemployment courses [04:59] :-( [05:00] im doing a networking course now just because nobody will hire me without a higher diploma [05:00] did multimedia in the school you normally do untill 18, i allways forget the english term [05:01] Hopefully things will work out. [05:01] both in life and on the PC :-) hehe [05:01] on the PC they eventually allways work out [05:01] life on the other hand... lol [05:02] my passion os graphics, grphical compositions, layoutting, etc [05:02] 90% of the streaming stuff in MythTv seems to not work... either just harvesting or no URLs found... [05:02] Can harvesting take some time? Like 5 min plus? [05:02] and im studying networking just because nobody will hire me,while im confident there are a ton of jobs i could do in that aerea [05:03] over here it worked fast [05:03] the standard streaming stuff [05:03] where u at? I'm in Vegas, and this city sucks... [05:05] belgium [05:05] belgium sucks too lol [05:05] we barely have a government [05:05] thanks to Eu ... [05:06] nope [05:06] thanx to our own retarded politicians [05:06] well, did EU help? ... and almost all politicians are retarted one way or another [05:07] the EU is ok, the euro is not lol [05:07] since the euro everything became a TOn more expensive [05:08] that sucks... Well these days with the super low dollar exchange rate, you can get stuff from the US pretty cheap :-) [05:08] lol im gonna connect trough vnc to get this stuff working [05:08] not gonna leep i think [05:08] unless that stuff gets cought by the "duane" [05:08] dunno how its called [05:08] some osrt of cops that check import [05:11] brb [05:31] Is there a way to configure the buttons on a Microsoft Media center remote, so that the off button actually performs a shutdown/ [05:39] damn iptables --list doesnt show any open ports [05:39] You can install firestarter, and setup the IP of the remote PC to be allowed.. that should fix it [05:40] Not super secure... but... [05:40] i have a bad experience with firestarter [05:41] it's not the greatest... but since I haven't learned how to edit the iptables in plain text yet, it does what I want it to do. [05:48] what ports need to be open? [05:51] not sure... trying to get my remote to hibernate the myth box.... [05:56] ffs i cant finit [05:56] lol [05:56] find it [05:57] Just allow anything from A to B... unless we're not talking about the firewall anymore... [06:13] Laters, gotta get some sleep :-) [06:15] anyone here with a FE and BE on the same box that can verify something for me? === mpontill1 is now known as mpontillo [06:27] rhpot1991: what do you need? [06:29] can you tell me if your dbhostname in ~/.mythtv/config.xml is localhost or 127.0.0.1 [06:29] Sure - it's "localhost". [06:30] alright thanks [06:30] np === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [07:56] hi all [07:57] anyone with the latest beta who can get a Leadtek Winfast DVT2000H remote working? [08:10] hello [08:20] can anyone assist with my remote control? [08:20] its not being recognised [08:20] http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/MythTV#Digital_tuners [08:21] its this one Leadtek DTV-2000H [08:47] hello anybody [09:50] hello? [09:50] anyone with the latest beta who can get a Leadtek Winfast DVT2000H remote working? [11:18] I upgraded both the frontend and the backend to 0.21 and everything works fine except that the livetv doesnt work: in the log I get TV Error: LiveTV not successfully started. any ideas? [13:09] is there an 0.21-fixes branch for gutsy? [13:10] the packages in ubuntu-backports include the mjost important patches from -fixes [13:11] including CVE 2007-6036? [13:15] hm, seemingly not. [13:15] i blame superm1 [13:18] this is _exactly_ the situation i predicted a week or two ago when i noticed that we were going to be stuck with a single gutsy-backport of 0.21 until hardy came out. :-( [13:19] i guess i just don't understand why a gutsy 0.21-fixes branch is not being maintained given that all of the infrastructure to maintain a weekly fixes branch is already there. [13:46] they are in hardy.. [13:46] the newest backport [13:48] superm1: perhaps i am confused. how does that help gutsy users? hardy is still beta. [13:49] Shred00, sorry incomplete thought, my dog just woke up when i was typing [13:49] lol [13:49] as i was going to say, doing a backport is a bit of a pain [13:50] so if anything we'll do it once more right before hardy goes live as final [13:50] superm1: yeah, that is why i was wondering why not just set up an 0.21-fixes weekly for gutsy exactly as you do for 0.20-fixes [13:50] but the fix for that CVE is in hardy [13:51] Shred00, because that -fixes repo is "stable" to the 0.20 series [13:51] and dont want to force people to switch to 0.21 [13:51] superm1: yeah, i saw the CVE fix in hardy which is how i knew it was there. i only run hardy on my test machine though. i can't afford to be running development versions everywhere, including the (must be stable!) backend. [13:51] for hardy it will be stable on the 0.21 series [13:52] superm1: why would it force anyone to switch. i'm talking about a parallel 0.21-fixes branch for gutsy. [13:52] so gutsy users have a choice. [13:52] the PPA build system doesn't allow for different "components" [13:52] like that [13:52] if a 0.21 build were uploaded to the mythbuntu PPA, it would override the 0.20 build [13:53] hrm. not sure i understand, but what if you put an 0.21 into the package names for all of the *myth* packages for 0.21? [13:54] kinda like hardy had firefox and firefox-3 for a while. [13:55] i.e. mythtv-backend-0.21, mythtv-common-0.21, etc. [13:55] for gutsy users, i think that is perfectly rational along with an 0.21-fixes update repo. [13:55] well that would be possible but make a more difficult upgrade path. [13:56] why? hardy's myth-backend would Replace: myth-backend-0.21 [14:44] directhex, you in here? [14:47] yes [14:49] you were helping me a bit on friday, regarding nvidia drivers / xvmc [14:49] and I learned from you that the .run file from nvidia is not the best way [14:49] was i? i have memory loss issues, i'm afraid i don't remember [14:49] I had run the installer and was trying to get xvmc to work .. [14:49] right, okay, someone using nvidia-installer sounds familiar [14:50] but it was mentioned here that the proprietary was better since the installer didn't do things right [14:50] is envy a good way to get things running, or does it just do the same installer dirty work? [14:51] I can get gutsy to take the driver ok from the installer .. and I can do it from envy .. [14:51] but just using the restricted drivers manager runs me into a wall .. [14:51] I think i'm really close .. but that probably means I'm really far. [14:51] envy is generally disrecommended, but has worked well for me in the past. that said, removing it afterwards can take massaging [14:52] I figured it was just doing the installer for me .. so I wanted to stay away .. [14:53] I can get the system to try and load up the nvidia-glx .. but it craps out at loading a screen .. and every iteration I've tried just kicks it down to safe mode [14:53] it's using the installer, extracting the contents, and rebuilding packages from the contents [14:53] sabhain, craps out how? tried pastebinning the xorg.0.log file? [14:55] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6262/ [14:55] these are the logs when I run 'startx' at the shell, with gdm stopped and no xinit or xorg running. [14:56] I've also posted a bunch of stuff here --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702406&page=2&highlight=nvidia+proprietary+driver [14:57] from boot up .. the logs don't even mention the nvidia driver, but I'm not sure the log isn't just the "safe mode" log [14:59] sabhain, remove any line with "busid" in it from xorg.conf [15:03] actually......... what's the hardware in question? [15:06] 7300gt, breaking for some reason. driver 100.14. i'd update it using envy. [15:08] but you *must* remove envy before upgrading to hardy [15:17] is there any way to improve reception? [15:19] generally, a better antenna [15:28] It's a 7100 I think. [15:29] I saw the busid thing .. and thought it was odd that it didn't match the lspci output [15:30] am I best off going straight to hardy? it's stable enough for a day to day myth core? [15:30] i think hardy is stable enough now. i'm upgrading my third office pc to hardy. [15:35] for starting from scratch, are the mythtv packages pretty stable also? I'm just getting going on moving my whole house to mythtv after running a single box for 6-8 weeks. [15:36] mythtv setup pretty good except for the framedrop issue [17:53] hello. Can i transcode recordings after they have been recorded to one of my profiles.. choose wich one i mean [17:53] i want to transcode my recordings from mpeg2 to mpeg4 now and i have 100+ recordings in mpeg2 [18:23] can anyone help me out with a diskless question? [18:26] !ask | chuk [18:27] I edited the ltsp-client-setup to add my NFS shares to /etc/fstab [18:27] my clients all get the correct /etc/fstab, but the shares do not load at boot. If I do a mount -a then they mount [18:32] what options are you passing in fstab? what does the line look like? [18:33] 192.168.25.5:/var/lib/mythtv/videos /mnt/videos nfs [18:40] try adding the following to the end of the line: rw,user,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,exec,hard 0 0 [18:40] that's what I have .. and they (NFS shares) automount for me [18:40] on boot [18:40] how did you create your fstab? [18:41] I modified the ltsp-client-setup script [18:41] or am I just supposed to make an /etc/fstab in the client environment on the server? [18:47] I have small solid state drives .. not using ltsp-client .. so it's different. Can't really clear up that end of it. Just thought I'd share my fstab line which automounts. [18:47] sure, thanks, I'll give it a shot [19:02] there is no cablecard support on linux is there? [19:04] im trying to get a now frontend to connect to my font / backend desktop but it cant seem to connect to the mysql database, what can i try? [19:05] whats a cablecard? [19:06] never mind i used google :) [19:06] cablecard is a pcmcia card which allows you to decode cabletv signals without a settop box [19:07] How hard should getting a remote set-up be? Just a case of selecting it in the list and that's it? [19:07] if anyone has experience setting up an htpc on cablevision please pm me [19:08] has anyone had any luck with pinnacle? [19:09] EvilGuru, depends on the remote, if its supported (i.e. in the list) selecting it and restarting MythTV Frontend, if its running, should be all you have to do [19:09] free1, what kind of pinnacle? [19:09] Ward1983, did you enable the MySQL service in MCC? have you set the IP's in the Primary Backend Correctly? [19:10] Ward1983: anyone will do :) [19:10] foxxbuntu, you mean i need to add the ip of the new frontend somewhere on the master backend? [19:10] foxxbuntu: It is the one which came with my PVR-150 and I just selected Hauppauge tv card from the list [19:10] Ward1983_: but I was thinking of the Pinnacle pctv hd pro stick [19:10] free1, i have a DC10+ that works fine with the zoran driver [19:11] free1, thats a completely different card [19:11] the DC10+ is a MJPEG capturecard with both in and outputs :D [19:12] cost me 10 or 15euros :) [19:13] Ward1983_: I was looking for a usb for my lappy [19:14] free1, i need to buy one like that too someday [19:14] Ward1983, no you need to change the DB IP Setting in the myth-setup of the backend so its a reachable IP on your network, i.e not 127.0.0.1 [19:14] EvilGuru, that remote should work fine, what receiver are you using?
