[00:00] i dont know how to kill modprobe process... [00:02] ps -ef | grep modprobe [00:02] it'll return some numbers [00:03] take the 1st number and use that in sudo kill -9 [00:03] ok [00:03] don't bother doing the last one since that process has already finshed (it was the grep one) [00:04] i killed it, and then recheck, and it is still there: [00:04] root 7238 1 0 18:56 ? 00:00:00 modprobe -k lirc_i2c [00:05] try killing it again [00:05] ok [00:05] hmm, it doesnt get killed! [00:06] rebooting the machine will kill it ;) [00:06] ok, back in a couples mins then! [00:06] I'll leave you with superm1 since I need to goto bed, got work in 7hrs [00:06] ok, thanks a lot for your help [00:07] superm1: will be around for ages, prob be here when I wake up ;) [00:07] i'm here transiently [00:07] ok [00:07] thx [00:07] now rebooting [00:08] (i am typing this from another computer) [00:10] ok, now rebooted,and modprobe is dead [00:11] should i retry the reconfig again now? [00:12] yeah [00:13] ok, now it did this: [00:13] Stopping remote daemons LIRC: fail [00:13] reloading kernel even manager... ok [00:13] loading LIRC modules... it is hung up there now [00:14] okay one more reboot... and try to manually unload those modules before you start [00:14] ok [00:15] 1 thing, this is mythbuntu, so mythtv starts all by itself... is this a problem for troubleshooting [00:15] ? [00:15] well it shouldn't be.. [00:15] ok [00:15] but you know what, it wont hurt to boot to recovery mode [00:15] if you can [00:15] ok [00:15] that's before these services start [00:15] and such [00:17] ok, now in recovery as root [00:17] just dpkg-reconfigure lirc [00:17] ok [00:18] ok, here it is: [00:18] *loading LIRC modules [00:19] [ 113.658730] kobject_add failed for i2c ir driver with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. [00:19] then [00:19] *Starting remote control daemons:LIRC fail [00:19] that's it [00:21] okay well then i say just modify that item DaveMorris was referring to automatically [00:21] if you dont know what event device you need [00:21] then do a cat /dev/input/eventX [00:21] and press buttons on the remote [00:21] when garbage is spit out, you found the right one [00:21] hehe [00:21] ok [00:21] if nothing is spit out, then hit ctrl c and try another [00:22] ok, rebooting [00:26] ok, i have to go for an hour. it was not event 0, but i got 4 more to go. I'll be back later, if you are gone, well thanks a lot for the help, much appreciated. If you are, I'll let you know how it goes. [00:51] i am here for 2 mins, none of the "eventx" worked. event2 output garbage without me pressing anything on the remote. but pressing a button did nothing. IRW still not working. [00:52] I will post the contect of my hardware.cong file, there is no driver... maybe you see something funky in there too. I'll be back in about 45 mins.

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) [00:57] so you want to make all your MODULES be lirc_dev and lirc_pvr150 [00:57] franky_the_pierr, ^ [01:01] hello all... does anyone have a program for rebooting an SA4250 STB over Firewire, or has the operands needed to do so? [01:18] superm1: i am back. oh, i am sorry, i will use the pastebin in the future. for pvr150 and i2c... i dont know what i2c is, it was there right from install, i touched nothing. I will change all the modules be lirc_dev and lirc_pvr150. Do i do this inside the hardware.conf file? [01:18] yes [01:18] ok [01:19] ok, now what, do i redo the event0 to 5 again? [01:19] well make sure that only lirc_pvr150 is loaded [01:19] not lirc_i2c [01:20] if both are loaded, reboot [01:20] its the easiest to get around this [01:20] ok, reboot i guess should accomplish this? [01:20] yah [01:20] ok [01:32] superm1: ha, no luck, still none of the event0 to 5 worked :-( but now there is a file "lircd" under /dev which was not there previously [01:32] franky_the_pierr, check dmesg [01:33] for lirc_pvr150 you might be needing some firmware [01:33] that we never automated [01:34] wo, there is a very long output to this. want me to put in pastebin? [01:34] yes pastebin [01:34] look for relevant to lirc stuff though [01:34] ok [01:34] maybe dmesg | grep lirc [01:34] ok, 1 sec [01:35] [ 54.908244] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [01:35] [ 55.098241] lirc_pvr150: ivtv i2c driver #0: no devices found [01:35] that's it? [01:36] yep [01:36] oh no devices found :) [01:36] that means your card might not be seated correctly [01:36] oh? but i can watch tv [01:36] or your card doesn't support blasting / receiving (which i'd doubt if you have a remote ;)) [01:36] right but, if one or two of the pins on the pci bus aren't making contact [01:36] this can happen [01:36] holey fuck, ok, i will reseat it [01:37] will shut down now for it [01:38] i will put it in a different slot, will that cause problems? [01:39] nope [01:39] ok [01:46] oh man, the grep is the same as before [01:47] i will attempt a reconfigure now [01:49] you sure the hw isn't bad? [01:49] stopping remote control daemon LIRC fail still [01:49] grep show the same, except now it shows it 3 times in a row [01:49] i cant be sure, but i just bought the card brand new [01:49] well if these modules are being loaded w/o functioning hw, i'd be surprised if everything was clean :) [01:50] i could put it in a windows mchine to test it :-((( [01:51] wont hurt at this point [01:51] can i show you my hardware.conf before trying that though? [01:51] in case i missed something [01:55] srue [01:55] 63126 [01:55] which pastebinis that ? [01:55] full url? [01:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63126 [01:57] Why is it that when I try to play a video I get audio of the video, but the screen just stays at "loading .... {filename.whatever}" ? [01:57] depends what you external player is set to [01:58] and if you are using one [01:58] Franky_the_Pier, yeah that looks sane [01:58] shittybonga [01:58] ok, i guess last thing is prove the hardware is good then [01:59] where do I check/change my player settings then? [02:00] /join #ubuntu-doc [02:00] superm1: I really appreciate al your help. I will put the card in winblows tomorrow to see if it's broken, with original hauppauge software, it should work. If it is good... you will see me here again in a couple of days! Cheers. [02:01] no prob. cya Franky_the_Pier [02:01] MythbuntuGuest12, look in your media settings [02:01] ..... [02:02] KillerKiwi2005, ? [02:02] sorry wrong window ;) [02:03] superm1: have you tried to get a remote working with any games yet? [02:03] i did ages ago [02:03] but decided it wasn't worth it [02:03] i use my wii for games and my pc for tv and mv tv for pc [02:04] yeah... i wrtoe a small script to catch button pushs etc... but the input seems to freeze.. its not responsive enough [02:04] ah i see [02:04] would you consider trying to resubmit your udev rules ideas back upstream to udev? [02:04] keescook, made an attempt at one point to get things changed [02:04] but they weren't receptive to his ideas [02:05] superm1: I could there is a bug makred as wishlist in launchpad [02:05] KillerKiwi2005, yeah that's how i recognized your name :) [02:05] lol [02:05] it drove me crazy when I came up against it [02:05] well until upstream udev agrees to put something in place we can't just go dropping them in our package [02:06] that's why its wishlist against our package right now [02:06] the fixes, unfortunately, need to be plumbed through the v4l drivers [02:06] ahh that's what it was :) [02:06] hi keescook [02:06] heya superm1 :) [02:06] I wish I had some time for it -- drives me crazy too. :) [02:07] what needs changing in v4l cant it just lock it down with udev for all video devices? [02:07] KillerKiwi2005: let me find the thread, one second [02:07] its just crazy the way it is at the moment.. [02:09] KillerKiwi2005: here's the start: http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m=118591152718294&w=2 [02:11] KillerKiwi2005: ah, here's a better thread-view [02:11] http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.linux.hotplug.devel/last=0/force_load=very/?page=7 [02:19] ugg it gets painful [02:23] ok so its a problem in v4l that device drivers do not return enough information ? [02:24] keescook: ^ [02:24] KillerKiwi2005: that's correct. Kay's patch to v4l is probably the best starting point, but I hadn't had time to try it yet [02:25] ok so there might be a fix in a years time ;) [02:26] * KillerKiwi2005 wondars how no one noticed the problem for so long [02:26] it's not that no one noticed the problem -- people just write a udev rule, and ignore it. :P [02:27] true [02:27] so what does mythbuntu do about things like this ... do you have a mythbuntu-hacks package or some thing ? [02:28] I mean while your waiting for the "proper" fix [02:59] i am loving this vnc thing [02:59] i shoud've done that long time ago [02:59] i just never run frontend inside of a window manager [02:59] =) [03:00] Does Mythbuntu support the Shuttle SD02XD? [03:09] SoulBlade, are you a mythbutu expert? [03:17] wasikevin, do you know anything about hardware support? [03:18] Munchkinguy, don't really understand your question. Can yo tell me more about your question? [03:19] I'm wondering if Mythbuntu supports the Shuttle SD02XD [03:20] Specs: http://global.shuttle.com/servlets/download?file_id=3119 [03:24] god no [03:24] im no expert that is [03:24] Hmmm [03:27] Any reccomendations for a MythBox, then? [03:34] superm1: i am back. I have checked HD with winblows, all is working perfectly... :-( means something funky is happening with my setup i guess, it is a common card though... can we check into it further? [03:38] hmm [03:38] well they like hauppauge tuners [03:38] do a wikipedia on mythtv and then check out ivtv - maybe that card on the shuttle is supported [03:48] Alright. Thanks [04:03] ah so close to working... got everything but sound now [04:03] and mplayer can play /dev/video0 w/ sound [04:03] so... close.. [04:45] hey guys im having trouble with mythweb and streaming asx [04:46] I use totem to play the stream, and it freezes after authenticating [06:37] hello, anyone ever use a frontend to connect to mythbutu backend? [06:38] robbysmith, no, i just like to record content. I never watch it [06:39] anyone use a frontend at all? [06:39] yea i can connect a frontend to a backend. What seems to be the trouble [06:39] :) [06:40] it seems that the backend is not ready to accept a connection, keep getting failed' when doing the sql test [06:40] how can i verify that the backend is ready to accept connections? [06:41] maybee i am wrong to assume that there can be multiple frontends? [06:41] robbysmith, did you enable the mysql service on the backend? [06:41] in MCC [06:42] i used to be able to see a checkbox for it in services [06:42] just installed and updated 140 some packages and its not there any more, ill see if theres anything similar... [06:42] hmm [06:43] it should be an enable/disable drop box [06:43] is this hardy or gutsy? [06:43] theres now 3 databse services [06:43] they are all checked [06:43] running i assumed [06:44] ? [06:44] what program are you looking in? [06:44] they are all "data storage system" sql services [06:44] mythbuntu 8.04beta backend amd64 (updated) [06:44] ok [06:45] did you open mythbuntu-control-centre [06:45] are the frontend and backend on the same machine or different machines? [06:45] ok, knew i saw that somewhere, [06:45] the service is enabled [06:46] both plus i am trying to get an additional frontend to work [06:46] is this even possible? [06:46] yes [06:47] so does the one on the same machine connect? [06:47] how can i make sure this service is enable on the interface? [06:47] not only is this possible, it is what it was designed to do [06:48] does the frontend on the same machine connect to the backend? [06:48] next to dropdown for service is says to make sure its enabled for the ethernet interface [06:48] yea works great, sometimes get an error "cant connect to backend" but reboot fixes [06:48] do you have more than one network interface card on this machine? [06:49] no, just 1 physical [06:49] and 'lo' [06:49] k [06:49] ok [06:49] currently the front/back is set to 192.168.1.3 [06:49] for both adds [06:50] should 1 be 127? [06:50] no [06:50] go to the remote frontend machine, open terminal, then start the frontend [06:51] open a command prompt on the remote frontend? [06:51] should i worry that the mysql test fails? [06:52] and start anyway>? [06:53] thnks for this by the way [06:53] wife thanks you too! [06:54] i wouldnt have gotten this far without the alltruism that is this linux community [06:54] so right now im not sure what you want me to do, [06:54] i have the frontednd booted with a livecd [06:54] sec [07:01] robbysmith, is the backend getting a static ip or a dynamic ip? [07:01] i just congigured for a static ip by editing /etc/network/interfaces [07:02] couldnt connect w/ dhcp either [07:02] static is goo, tested by unplugging cable and checkin ifconfig [07:04] gw is good, tested with google news [07:05] ok [07:05] do this [07:05] on the remote frontend, open a terminal [07:06] ok brb [07:07] terminal open [07:07] sec i gotta look up the command [07:08] just out of curiousity, what are you puting in mythbuntu-control-center for username, password, and host when doing the test? [07:09] you mean what am i trying to login with on the remote frontend? [07:09] yes [07:09] user=mythtv [07:09] pass= blank [07:09] dbase name= mythtvconverg [07:10] server = 192.168.1.3 (backend) [07:10] mythconverg you mean? [07:10] and is the password really blank? [07:10] yea [07:10] no theres nothing [07:10] pass = [07:10] ah [07:11] ok we need to get something from the backend first [07:11] ok [07:11] on the backend, open up /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [07:11] is this what you need... [07:11] DBUserName=mythtv [07:11] DBName=mythconverg [07:11] DBType=QMYSQL3 [07:11] no [07:12] ok brb [07:12] we need the password [07:12] DBPassword="your password here" [07:12] can i add that line? [07:12] no [07:12] it should be in there [07:13] it might be at the bottom [07:13] those are the only ones not remared out and i dont see the line you said [07:14] also, should DBHostName=localhost? [07:14] that should be ok [07:14] shoul i add a pass? [07:14] i'm a little concerned you don't have DBPassword= [07:14] no don't add pass [07:14] ok [07:15] it wouldn't help here, and has to be added a different way [07:15] should i log into mysql? [07:15] can you search the file for Pass [07:15] just to be sure [07:15] ok... [07:16] wow im an idiot [07:16] it is at the bottom [07:16] ok i see it [07:16] ill try to login with this inf... [07:16] brb [07:19] :) :) :) [07:19] works! [07:19] video anyway [07:19] no sound watching tv? [07:19] hmm [07:20] sounds like a hardware issue, drivers or something [07:20] what hardware? [07:20] so i need a diff tuner for each frontend? [07:20] no [07:20] i started the frontend on the backend and it switched to my hd tuner [07:20] do you have any sound? [07:21] ill restart front/back then retry remote front brb... [07:23] i think the sound prob is a driver issue on the remote frontend, no biggie i got spares that are compatible [07:24] but now i got reverse tuners, [07:24] started front/back and it went to my default (analog) tuner [07:24] went to remote and started it, and it went to my hd tuner [07:25] looks like hd homerun dont work over 802.1g very well either [07:25] slowmo [07:25] yea HD over wifi is too slow [07:25] nothing a cable cant fix [07:26] this is sweet [07:26] your the shit [07:26] i been racking my brain all weekend trying to get this going [07:26] np [07:27] thank you thank you thank you! [07:27] :) :) :) [07:27] i am mythically converged finally! [07:27] now i just got to get it to see my nas [07:27] but i think i can figure that out [07:28] k [07:28] do you have yours pointing to external storage? [07:28] yea [07:28] depending on the NAS, you may have to either mount via NFS or CIFS [07:28] was it hard to get going? [07:28] no [07:29] i got freenas and 3 500s rin raid5 [07:29] bout 900gb of storage [07:29] made it usb so i could eventually add 127 drives :) [07:29] ya right [07:29] 3s good for now though [07:29] what nas you use? [07:30] I actually have most my storage in a seperate fileserver [07:30] mounted via NFS [07:30] i have that option in freenas, do you recommend that over samba shares? [07:31] I prefer NFS to SMBFS, but I haven't used the newer CIFS [07:32] need to get a cifs share for my wrt54g maybee ill go that route [07:32] thanks again for your help man [07:32] np [15:24] hello [16:10] anyone in here have experience capturing multiple hardware encoded streams simultaneously [17:46] hti_pr1 I do [17:47] any issues with it [17:48] hd access times? I assume resource usage is pretty low considering they are hardware encoders [17:49] yeah, no problems, work great [17:49] what kind of hard drives do you run and how many simultaneous streams have you been able to record [17:50] Right now, I've only got a 40gb hd, I do mostly OTA HD recording, and I've only got 2 cards [17:50] so the most I've recorded at once is 2 HD streams [17:50] and no problems [17:53] sata or pata [17:59] pata [18:00]
