[01:10] hi [01:11] I restarted my MythBox and now I can't access the folders such as /videos/ or /music/ over thet network. [01:20] any ideas? anyone? [01:32] permissions maybe, or network issues/ [01:32] ? [01:34] pretty sure its permissions [01:34] doubt its network, because i can get on mythweb [01:34] any devastating bugs arise since I left [01:35] \\Htpc\videos is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The network path was not found. [01:36] what are you using to access it [01:36] my windows XP computer [01:36] a samba share [01:36] it worked until i restarted the mythbox [01:37] what permisions do you have set in the samba.conf file [01:37] where is that [01:37] /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:37] any specific lines you wanna see? [01:38] all lines from config for the share you are having trouble with [01:38] http://pastebin.org/29332 [01:39] is it all shares or a specific one [01:39] all [01:39] and you said it worked fine until reboot, how long before the reboot did you have it running [01:39] weeks [01:40] have you tried accessing it using \\hostname\sharenam in windows explorer [01:40] i rebooted because i'm trying to find the loudest part of the mythbox so i can eventually replace it later, so nothing should have changed [01:41] \\Htpc\videos is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The network path was not found. [01:41] can you do a 'net view \\hostname' from the cli [01:42] System error 53 has occured. The network path was not found. [01:43] is there anything in the /var/log/samba/[xpmachinename].log or /var/log/samba/[[xpipaddress].log [01:44] have you verified that nmbd and smbd are running [01:45] [2008/04/12 14:47:30, 0] printing/pcap.c:pcap_cache_reload(159) [01:45] Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read! [01:45] thats from log.[xpmachinename] [01:46] how do i check that, hti_pro [01:46] ps aux | grep mbd [01:47] http://pastebin.org/29338 [01:48] nmbd is not running this handles netbios name resolution [01:48] try /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:48] http://pastebin.org/29339 [01:49] sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [01:49] http://pastebin.org/29341 [01:49] alright, we're good [01:50] is there any way to get it to do that every start? [01:50] it should do that at every start. try dmesg | grep mbd [01:50] maybe something odd happened this time [01:50] nothing happens if i type that [01:51] try grep mbd /var/log/syslog [01:51] nothing [01:51] then i have no idea why it didnt work that time, try rebooting again and make sure it works [01:52] i'm transferring stuff now, but i'll try it in a day or so when the DL is done [01:52] thanks [01:53] you might check to make sure there is a file called S##samba in your /etc/rc3.d/ directory [01:53] or should i say a link [01:54] good luck [01:56] anyone know if compiz is a dependencie for something or can i remove it [02:55] anyone alive in here [04:25] What kde package should I install to get all the qt styles? [05:12] anybody know why a user would not be able to use sound card but root can [05:48] the mythbuntu 7.10 "guided installation" formats the entire HD as ext3, is this OK? is using a separate XFS partition for recordings better? [07:28] what the best tuner card for making a home theater PC? I live in the US and I'm after something HD. [08:15] hdhomerun M_dugger :) [08:15] i love my hd home run [08:15] it doesnt steal pci slots from me [08:15] and gives me twice the tuner goodness [09:18] hey thanks, I was away [10:03] superm1: you're here all day and night, eh? [10:21] i'm having an issue with mythtv not taking focus... running on Hardy [10:22] no title bar on myth [10:22] but I can see background to the left and right... and the panel in xfce on top [10:59] can I add a suggestion to this project? [11:02] problem is the lirc-generator. It should include the latest from lirc-CVS. A lot of us have the iMON LCD which is inlcuded in CVS. And making a custom deb for this only takes time... [11:05] http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc/drivers/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.c?view=log [11:06] what about requesting a package update from the lirc maintainer? [11:06] I build my lirc modules from source [11:06] I would gladly, but how? [11:06] glady what? [11:07] contact the maintainer or build from source? [11:07] Raspberry: I tried it but it did not work as I expected with the mythbuntu-lirc-generator [11:07] well both then :) [11:07] I just did it today [11:07] and it worked [11:07] are you using module assisstant? [11:07] Raspberry: did you do a deb? [11:07] yes [11:07] the "right" way? can I have it? [11:08] if you used the CVS that is [11:08] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_lirc_install [11:08] and you used this with mythbuntu? [11:08] yes [11:09] well I followed http://codeka.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22 [11:09] sort of [11:10] but that doesnt work as doing the first step will remove mythbuntu stuff [11:10] if you have a deb can you send it to me? [11:15] Raspberry: or how do I contact the maintainer?= [11:16] look up the package on launchpad.net [11:16] then contact the maintainer [11:18] I try but cant find the maintianer anywhere [11:19] ah found it [11:31] ugh [11:31] my myth account just hangs on login [11:31] if I restart the machine sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't [11:31] if I restart X same thing [11:32] I'm going to change to a gnome sesions [11:32] see if that fixes it [11:33] Raspberry: you using Mythbuntu beta? [11:34] and did you install the VNC-server? [11:34] from what I know there is a rather nasty bug in the installation process that causes all kinds of nasty bugs [11:35] I migrated [11:35] from gutsy to hardy [11:35] running the beta [11:35] the vnc bug has been fixed [11:35] ok, I havnt had time to use the beta yet [11:35] it doesn't matter which session I run -- myth won't fullscreen [11:36] visual effects are set to NONE [11:36] hi can i run ubuntu mythtv from livecd without installing? [11:36] I'm going to check up on my lagging IR device... as soon as I press a button when somethng else is running there is a glitch... like a small break [11:36] but it doesnt seem to be any IRQ issues... I dont know [11:37] MeerkatMafia: yes [11:37] sebrock, great and this allows me to capture to a device too? or just watch tv [11:38] Watch tv should be fine I guess... assuming that all devices are OK [11:38] ty [11:38] I dont know how this works when using only RAM though [11:38] would it be possible to load mythtv all into ram [11:39] I suggest installing it anyway... its painfully slow to run from CD all the time [11:39] MeerkatMafia: that is what happens when you use LiveCD [11:39] k [11:39] ty [11:39] sebrock, but when i use knoppix and some livecds they decompress on the fly [11:39] sebrock, rather than loading everything into ram [11:39] oh you mean loading everything from start? [11:39] sebrock, so i didnt know how ubuntu mythtv worked in comparison [11:40] knoppix livedvd i mean [11:40] I think this works the same way, loading on the fly [11:40] i would like to boot from cd and load it all into ram [11:40] oh ok thanks some livecds work different i suppose [11:42] wow [11:42] deleting a recording while it's playing hangs myth [11:43] I mean deleting by pressing D [14:01] damn screensaver keeps turning itself on even after i turned it off [14:03] actually, its not the screensaver [14:03] video goes out on idle [14:22] Anyone know why, when using a dvi-hdmi cable I cant get my TV resolution to display correctly? [14:22] I'm going nuts here trying to figure it out =( [14:22] what tv? [14:22] its an LG DLP [14:23] i had to manually set my resolution [14:23] go to xorg.conf [14:23] and remove refresh rate (vert & horiz) [14:23] and set your resolution manually [14:23] restart X or reboot [14:23] where do i find xorg.conf.... I'm still new =D [14:23] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:24] you must be root to edit [14:25] so under the "monitor" section... delete the horizonal and vertical rates... just leave them blank? [14:25] completly remove those lines [14:25] and on the bottom of the file you will see modes [14:26] remove all the modes except the one you want [14:26] the "modeline" lines? or further down? [14:26] i dont even see the 720p resolution listed in there =P [14:28] its not going to be listed as 720p [14:28] i know... 1280x720 [14:28] there you go [14:28] but thats not even there [14:28] so ADD IT [14:29] Modes "1280x720" [14:29] got it? [14:30] make sure your TV is on [14:30] before you start X [14:30] or it wont go into 720p because [14:30] xorg is getting monitor information fromt he EDID [14:30] yeah, tv is on... its my main "monitor" [14:31] ok [14:31] i gave you the instructions, now execute [14:31] alright.. guess i need to reboot x... brb =D thanks [14:32] :P [14:32] no problem [14:37] no go =D [14:46] Hello. I've got a new intel motherboard (dp35dp), two 500 GB SATA drives and an ATI RADEON 7000 video [14:47] card [14:48] whats your question? [14:48] My problem is I am getting "grub installation failed" with the alternate-amd 8.04 -- sorry, not an IRC pro at all. [14:49] Is there a general cause for not being able to write to the MBR master boot record? [14:50] These are new disks and I have not prepared them in any way. [14:51] I then tried to install the "desktop" -- non-alternate version of Hardy and [14:52] it brings up the initial selection menu, but when I select the first option, run the live disk, it will appear to be booting and then at then end when it [14:54] would seem to be finished and ready to change modes --video modes perhaps, I just get a "no signal" on my monitor. [14:56] That's all I have to offer up. I have not been verifying checksums on these iso's so that's my next step. [15:02] The iso's I've been getting from direct download are not passing the checksum test, and the torrents are taking forever. [15:02] I'll report back when I get a good installer! [15:35] hello [15:36] Anyone seen this error before with a dvd/cdrom drive [15:36] [59624.100289] hda: tray open [15:36] [59624.100653] hda: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 [15:36] [59624.100657] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 1028 [15:43] Hey dave [15:43] I don't suppose Danny Haak is in here? [15:43] Have you ever seen this error before with cdrom/dvd drive [15:43] [59624.100289] hda: tray open [15:43] [59624.100653] hda: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x02 asc: 0x30 ascq: 0x00 [15:43] [59624.100657] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 1028 [15:44] when does this happen? [15:44] well i cannot open my cdrom drive [15:45] if i got to init 1 this error just repeats [15:45] how are you trying to open it? Via the button or via an eject command? [15:45] just though file manager [15:46] then i get [60079.205853] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0 [15:46] so the lines above repeat, then once in a while i get that buffer io error [15:47] is this in hardy/mythbuntu 8.04 [15:47] mythbuntu 7.10 [15:48] what type of media do you have in the drive? [15:49] just a dvd movie. [15:49] I tried other dvd's and cd's [15:50] and it's the same? [15:51] yeah [15:52] i used the drive to install the system so i know the drive works [15:53] can you pastebin the output of dmesg | grep DMA please [15:53] !pastebin [15:53] 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) [15:53] i don't get any results [15:54] when i do a dmesg | grep DMA [15:55] hmmm [15:56] yeah... [15:56] as root can you try hdparm -d /dev/hda [15:56] that command toggles DMA on/off. You can check by looking in the man file. man hdparm [15:57] vr@pvr-desktop:/$ sudo hdparm -d /dev/hda [15:57] /dev/hda: [15:57] using_dma = 1 (on) [15:57] and you've still got the problems? [15:57] does it require a restart [15:57] no [15:58] try manually ejecting the drive though and doing it again [15:58] yeah the message is still appearing [15:58] I've not seen the problem before you see and just trying to work through the options [15:58] I always eject using the button :) [15:58] let me check [15:59] humm, that message now stopped [16:00] is it working as expected now then? [16:00] no [16:00] new message [16:00] [61270.548112] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 278 [16:00] [61270.548160] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 279 [16:00] [61270.548207] Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 280 [16:00] [61274.101777] hda: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } [16:00] [61274.101787] hda: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 } [16:00] [61274.107826] hda: error code: 0x70 sense_key: 0x03 asc: 0x11 ascq: 0x05 [16:00] [61274.107832] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 1152 [16:02] I've seen similar looking errors with my old CD-ROM drives and I assumed they where hardware failures since they went away with a different drive. I had loads of old drives so I just threw them away rather than working out where the actual fault was. [16:03] humm.... [16:03] have you got another Ubuntu based box you could try the drive in? [16:03] it's odd, it's possible that this drive is faling [16:03] if you get the same errors in a different box with the drive I'd assume the drive is failing. [16:03] yeah, i don't have an ide card, but I do have a PCI Sata card, I guess I could install that and then hook my sats dvd drive to it and see what happens [16:04] sorry another ide dvd drive [16:04] you got another PC you could try the ide based drive in? [16:04] yeah, its a windows box though [16:05] !ohmy ;) [16:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy ;) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:05] i mean it's worth a shot [16:05] yeah, or try a live cd in the drive in the windows box [16:06] wife still likes windows, so it will be a good test [16:06] command line is not her thing [16:06] Thanks for the help, i will give that a shot! [16:07] my g/f uses Ubuntu after using Windows. She won't touch the command line and gets on fine with it. After the 1st couple of weeks of "I knew how to do this on Windows" [16:07] lol [16:08] just install the windows vista theme and tell her it's vista ;) [16:27] hello [16:28] Well i swapped drives, now how do i mount the new dvd/cdrom drive [16:33] Hi. Can anybody help with aspect ratio on mythbuntu 8.04? [16:51] hello room, could someone help me with my setup? I have all of a sudden lost the ability to play mpeg files.. all i get is a full screen of yellow/red noise, yet the 'preview box' appears to be properly showing the video [17:51] can someone explain this error: Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost [17:51] is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput. [18:06] ahave: have you ran mythtv-setup? [18:07] you have to configure your capture cards and inputs before running the frontend [18:07] TelnetManta, yes. i have had mythtv working for a few weeks now. it all of a sudden did this [18:08] perhaps the error is with VLC? I found the livetv recordings and played them with VLC and the video is still scrambled, yet the audio is there [18:08] the preview box in Media Library will show the video correctly [18:09] hmm, a simple restart fixed the problem [18:13] re [18:14] Raspberry: hey. have you tried running mythfrontend --reset? thaT'll reset all aperance settings in the frontend [18:22] no [18:22] I can try that [18:22] we worked on it for like 4hrs in here yesterday and nobody mentioned that :p [18:23] do I have to close the frontend before running that? [18:23] or can I run it and then restart the frontend [18:24] vnc is really really flakey in hardy right now :) [18:25] well with the new guidance, it should be fine [18:25] it crashes quite a bit [18:25] with the new guidance [18:25] moving the mouse of mythtv usually crashes [18:25] well i mean once you reconfigure it [18:25] it will disable libvnc4server [18:26] the popup / logoff menus crash :D [18:26] and use x11vnc instead [18:26] ah [18:26] well I'll reconfigure it again rightnow [18:26] (that's what you have to do) [18:26] when I ran the mythfrontend --reset [18:26] using SSH why did it detect my settings from the remote laptop instead of the local X settings :) [18:26] I'll have to run it again w/o -X on my ssh line [18:27] hmm [18:27] without ssh -X ... I can't run it remotely [18:27] can't connect to display [18:27] :) [18:28] mythfrontend --reset [18:28] reconfigure vnc and do it via vnc [18:29] I don't want to sound like an idiot by explaining all this stuff -- if it's not helpful to explain what I'm doing -- let me know and I'll quit :) [18:29] and what I'm finding [18:30] yay it makes it past reconfiguring now [18:31] it's not crashing ... so far :) [18:32] ah... much nicer -- not crashing every 5 sec :) [18:34] where's the mythbuntu desktop image located? [18:34] nvrmind found it /usr/share/mythbuntu [18:34] it's still not full screening it after running a reset [18:44] when I check the box to install just mythtv-frontend (on another workstation) it wants to install and configure the backend on THAT workstation [18:51] huh? [18:51] over ssh? [19:07] ? [19:09] module assistant isn't availabe in hardy? [19:09] then how am i running it? [19:10] I just checked my fresh hardy install -- it's on there too [19:11] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/module-assistant [19:15] hey Raspberry flood much [19:15] i don't know, do I? [19:15] just givin you crap, I just looked at the window and its mostly you [19:16] I like to have conversations on IRC -- otherwise I'd just file bug reports :p [19:16] :) [19:16] thats what keeps things interesting [19:16] hti you had a question and I went to respond to you about 9 hrs ago and you'd gone offline [19:16] I don't remember what your question was though [19:17] module assistant isn't used for lirc [19:17] it used to be [19:17] now dkms is used [19:17] Raspberry: re mythfrontend --reset: close the frontend, run mythfrontend --reset [19:17] laga: did that [19:17] superm1: lirc is still listed in MA [19:18] and it downloaded the correct lirc-module-source [19:18] Raspberry: oh. [19:18] Raspberry: so it's still broken with a different theme? [19:18] Raspberry, it shouldn't be... [19:18] it is -- as of yesterday [19:18] dkms automatically will build the modules though [19:18] so i'm not sure how that's possible [19:18] m-a wants the a special structure [19:18] that isn't in place [19:18] Raspberry: i don't remember either [19:19] I seem to do the impossible [19:19] well whatever the case may be [19:19] dont use it [19:19] laga: yeah with the G.A.N.T theme [19:19] superm1: already did ;) [19:19] Raspberry: can you attach the output of "xdpyinfo" and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to that ticket? [19:19] I have noticed a considerable performance increase by using the Blue theme as opposed to the G.A.N.T. [19:20] laga: ok [19:20] used to take like 10 seconds between menu screens, now it is almost instant [19:20] I used to use the blue theme then I switched to the titivi... whatever ... because it was much more readable and clear on my 4:3 analog tv [19:21] blue fonts were too small and not bold enough even when set to big [19:21] yuck i think both of those themes are really tacky for a tv :) [19:21] Hello! This is my first myth install with new hardware. I've got an intel q6600 cpu and I'm attempting, to put 8.04Beta desktop amd64 (checksum OK) on with the following error: [19:22] Busybox...(initramfs) [19:23] superm1: i'm trying the standard theme now ... the new black one... but the g/f will be the ultimate judge when she gets home from college next week [19:23] I've looked around and seen different causes from grub install fail to video card probs. [19:23] MythbuntuGuest59: hum. well. open a bug report :) [19:23] MythbuntuGuest59: if you want, you can try the alternate disk [19:23] is the theme change that happened yesterday a change from red highlight buttons to blue highlight buttons on the new standard theme? [19:24] MythbuntuGuest59: but it's not clear if the alternate disk works :) i'm going to try it later [19:25] Raspberry, yeah [19:25] Laga: I've tried the alternate iso and the grub install failed. I have not seen a way around this..some [19:25] MythbuntuGuest59: what alternate disk? mythbuntu or ubuntu? [19:25] some thing to add to the install parameter [19:25] laga: mythbuntu alternate. [19:26] i only have G.A.N.T. and Blue themes right now, I am gonna download all the themes and make my decision later [19:26] has anyone else had a prob with the G.A.N.T. theme being slow [19:27] I don't understand why the theme should slow it down though [19:27] laga: logs have been added [19:28] MythbuntuGuest59: maybe the ubuntu alternate disks works better for you. you can then visit www.mythbuntu.org and install mythbuntu on top of tjat [19:28] Raspberry: thanks [19:28] laga: will try ubuntu install. thanks. [19:31] hey guys im getting a php error when restarting apache2 with mythweb, what are the php requirements for mythweb [19:33] does anyone know where i can pickup a s/pdif optical bracket? everything i find is out of stock [19:37] hti_pro: how did you install it? [19:37] with apt-get [19:38] hti_pro: on hardy? [19:38] yep [19:38] :( [19:38] hti_pro: what's the php error? [19:39] Syntax error on line 106 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration [19:39] wait i dont think php mod is enabled [19:41] alright, that was it [19:45] where can i find mythvideo settings? [20:02] when watching liveTV on my frontends, I can watch it, change the channel once, but if I leave it a few mins myth doesn't respond to any keyboard/remote presses (gnome does though such as Alt + F4) Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using mythtv packages on Ubuntu Hardy rather than mythbuntu. [20:13] DaveMorris: it has happen to me a couple of times since I updated to .21 [20:14] ahave the settings are under: [20:14] Utilities/ Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Video Settings [20:14] hugolp: have you worked out whats causing it or filled a bug on it? [20:14] DaveMorris, thanks. [20:14] no [20:14] DaveMorris: no [20:14] It happens every time for me :( [20:14] because I can not reproduce it, it has only happened twice randomly [20:15] hugolp: you using Mythbuntu or ubuntu ? [20:15]
