[00:10] Hello, I have a question, which I have tried to find the answer for, and would be happy if someone knew the answer to or could guide me to where it's written: [00:10] Is the Happauge Win-TV-HVR-4000 supported by MythBuntu? [00:12] http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_hvr4000.html [00:14] ...or MythTV? [00:23] I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and mythtvbackend fails to start with a symbol lookup error [00:23] I'm fully upgraded, not sure where to start troubleshooting (besides the tidbits google has fed me) [00:27] benlake, look for any packages you manually installed (the local section in synaptic) [00:27] and also any stray make install stuff [00:27] or stuff in /usr/local [00:28] nuvexport is the only thing [00:29] well you can try to ldd mythbackend [00:29] to see where its linking to [00:31] symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0: [00:31] is what I get [00:31] when it fails to start [00:32] hmm when I ldd it it doesn't lis that lib === _taz_ is now known as TazgodX [00:35] hmm, 8.04 is released [00:36] guess ill update [00:36] when you say the local section in Synaptic, are you speaking of everything in Local/free|main|restricted|multiverse ? [00:37] TazgodX, not only is it released [00:37] but you can digg it http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_8_04_now_available [00:38] lol [00:38] you alwyas make a digg [00:38] it won't surpase teh ubuntu digg release LOL [00:39] still, digg it :) [00:39] already did [00:39] good [00:41] superm1: my only thought is that there is something dangling around from the ppa.launchpad source, synaptic says I have nothing from that source. [00:41] when I upgraded the upgrade manager disabled the ppa.launchpad source ad apparently pulled all the myth stuff from the normal mirrors [00:43] any NA DVBS users in here tonight? Need a comparison question.... [00:51] what exactly does it mean when dpkg --get-selection says something is "deinstall"? [01:01] hi all... i just upgraded to 8.04. everything seems to be fine thus far, except that I can't play music with mythmusic [01:01] i get the error "mixer unable to find control master 1" [01:01] (that's the command line error) [01:02] in the gui i get "aacDeoder: failed to open input" [01:02] any help would be awesome [01:03] it should be noted that i can hear audio while watching recordings. I am also unable to play music with rythmbox [01:04] so that error was for an m4a file i think... just tried mp3 and got "DecoderMAD: failed to open input" [01:05] Is anyone else having problems installing 8.04? [01:06] are you trying to install via cd? [01:06] yeah [01:06] it gets to about 80% then crashes [01:06] i wasn't able to ... kept getting "may not be debian" or something like that [01:06] i had to do it via internet which took forever to download for whatever reason [01:06] how did you get it installed? [01:06] bug reports bug reports bug reports! [01:07] if you encounter a problem, file a bug report and we'll get to it :) [01:07] install went smooth. I'm just having issues with mythmusic now [01:07] dflake_: i just followed the instructions and everything worked for the internet install [01:07] instructions from the website? pdf file? [01:08] from ubuntu [01:08] one sec [01:08] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [01:29] top [01:47] damn :P [01:48] archive.ubuntu.org is soooooo slow [01:48] archive.ubuntu.com [01:48] i mean [01:55] anyone have experience getting an ati igp 320 to do video out? [02:00] s a reinstall of mythbackend going to drop and rebuild the mythconverge db and wipe all config files? [02:00] cause I'm at a loss with this symbol lookup error on mythbackend startup [02:30] this is probably a noob mistake, but when I try to play an avi file in my new mythbuntu setup, it comes up with "loading.." and I can hear the sound of the file playing but no picture. Any ideas? [02:36] <_CT_> I've got a Mythbuntu 7.10 install with the Gnome Desktop installed. Can I use the Mythbuntu Alternate 8.04 CD to upgrade the install? [02:39] <_CT_> I've got a Mythbuntu 7.10 install with the Gnome Desktop installed. Can I use the Mythbuntu Alternate 8.04 CD to upgrade the install? [02:40] <_CT_> If I've got the Gnome Desktop installed on my Mythbuntu 7.10 do I have the normal Ubuntu Alt install CD? [02:57] why dont you upgrade through console? [02:57] or update manager? [02:57] and stop repeating yourself every 5minutes [02:59] ^2nded [03:00] !seen laga [03:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen laga - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:00] oh, he's already here haha [03:15] can anyone help me get an external monitor working with the open source radeon driver? [03:33] tgm4883_laptop: nope :P [03:33] also are you being serious? [03:42] rhpot1991, yes [03:49] tgm4883_laptop: dunno how much help it is, but back in the day I always did xinerama with my ati card (non open source drivers) [03:49] rhpot1991, unfortunatly my card isn't supported in the fglrx driver :( === otwin__ is now known as otwin [03:50] xinerama used to work with the open source driver as well, but I think its depracated now and there are other ways of doing multiple monitors [03:51] well i really don't want to do multiple monitors, I want to turn this old laptop into a frontend [03:52] hmm [03:54] I was finally able to get the opensource radeon wiki page to open [03:54] hopefully it will shed some light on this [04:04] anyone got a tip on why my vnc session keeps refusing connections? [04:05] mxpower, sec [04:06] heya tgm :) [04:06] mxpower, http://www.mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes [04:09] ok, how do i access the mythbuntu control center? I went through the screen config menu, but nothing about vnc is there [04:09] nm got it [04:09] :) [04:11] man, update servers are brutally slow tonight :( [04:11] yep === otwin__ is now known as otwin [04:15] someone show'd be a trick to get a better one. Go to the Repositories section of Synaptic [04:15] under the Ubuntu Software tab, in the Download From dropdown choose Other... [04:16] a box pops up. Hit the Select Best Server button [04:16] it'll go through and ping all the servers and you can pick the best one :) [04:17] gave him some mirror in Canada and he was downloading at full speed [04:17] bollocks! [04:17] there are no better mirrors than archive.org [04:17] haha [04:19] pdragon, actually this website has a search feature that allows you to find the mirror with the greatest connection speed, not just by ping time http://www.interenetisseriousbusiness.com [04:28] pdragon, still there? [04:29] yeah [04:29] cool [04:29] sorry about the link [04:29] someone just told me about the synaptic tool earlier tonight [04:29] said it worked great for him [04:29] yea it does [04:29] tgm4883_laptop, why not download the one from www.epicwinrar.com ? [04:30] bah [04:30] no epicwinrar [04:32] * tgm4883_laptop stabs Krusher00 [04:32] :-) [05:49] I thought there were some gui buttons on the bottom of the configuration screens, they seem to be scaled off the screen [06:21] Can anyone point me to info about how to get the mythbuntu video manager to work behind a http proxy? [06:35] is there a package name for the control centre? [06:37] got it: mythbuntu-control-centre [07:27] hmm... /etc/profile worked, but /etc/profile.d didn't [07:32] hi, I cant find the configuration file for the backend [07:32] can someone tell me where it is? [07:37] dang. forgot 'export blah' [07:39] hugolp: probably in /usr/share/mythtv/ [07:40] emja: it was a file where I had to put -no-upnp for the mythbackend [07:40] I have allredy checked that folder [07:40] hugolp: so you're looking for how myth is started? [07:41] emja: yes [07:41] mythbackend freezes the server if I dont use that option [07:41] depends on your distro, wm, etc [07:42] ubuntu hardy [07:42] which wm? [07:42] what wm? [07:42] whats wm? [07:43] window manager. KDE, Gnome, fvwm, IceWM, etc [07:45] gnome, but once I have the server configured I boot it without graphic mode [07:46] hang on. you're talking about mythBACKend, right? then you'll want /etc/initd./mythbackend [07:46] err... /etc/init.d/mythbackend [07:46] sorry. wrong again. /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend :-} [07:48] yes, but thats the executable file to restart/stop/etc the backend [07:48] I am looking for the configuration file of the backend [07:49] someone here pointed me to it when I upgraded to .21 in gutsy [07:51] but I cant find it now [07:55] brb [08:00] back [08:55] hello === otwin_ is now known as otwin === MythbuntuGuest39 is now known as S|eepy [09:54] Morning al! [09:55] looking to switch over to mythbuntu but cant seem to find out if it supports my FloppyDTV DVB-S2 card? [09:56] Anyone any idea if it will work? [09:57] S|eepy: have you checked the linuxtv wiki? [09:59] Yeah says unsupported - just hoped maybe it was outdated [09:59] Or someone had managed to get it working [10:00] Guess im stuck with WIndows :( [10:02] in windows it uses BDA drivers (generic i think?) so can mythbuntu not do the same? [10:02] S|eepy: make sure to ask the manufacturer why they don't support linux [10:02] S|eepy: linux is a completely different OS with a different architecture, driver API etc [10:02] that won't work [10:02] i can see some old threads on forum and they released driver code as open source [10:03] but seems nobody took it up and developed any :( [10:03] i find that hard to believe [10:03] do you have an URL? [10:03] www.digital-everywhere.com is the m/d [10:03] let me find url for open source driver code [10:06] umm cant find it - will keep looking [10:09] ahh this maybe it! [10:09] http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2006-February/120746.html [10:16] i'm amazed nobody has posted a follow-up [10:18] ah, i've found the thread on the linuxTV ml [10:18] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/23472/focus=23478 [10:18] doesn't look too promising [10:20] there are several other postings wrt updating the driver, but nobody seemed to be interested [10:56] what tool does myth use to download the movie poster (in video manager)? my system won't download the poster, but it happily retrieves all the metadata, including the postername. [11:17] emja: imd.pl [11:17] /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl AFAIK [11:17] laga: thx, but that seems to only retrieve the poster name, not the poster itself [11:23] can someone tell me where the back end configuration file is? [11:23] I need to add a boot option for the back-end and I dont remember where the file is [11:24] hugolp: look at the ARGS variable in /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend [11:25] there's an EXTRA_ARGS varialble, that's better [11:25] emja: ok, has this changed? in gutsy 0.21 was different [11:26] and it's in /etc/default/mythtv-backend [11:26] thats the one [11:26] thanks [11:26] ok, so I just learnt something new. ;-) [11:27] * emja goes back to his imdb poster download problem [11:30] laga: where can I found docs about the arguments? [11:30] hugolp: mythbackend --help [11:35] is anyone having problems with the new mythbuntu hardy heron? [11:36] !ask [11:36] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:36] i currently cant scan for any dvb-t channels in mythtv setup, hardware is working ok as i can watch tv through mplayer [11:37] it comes up as timeout error [11:37] when scanning for channels [11:37] ubotu: ok, sorry [11:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok, sorry - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:39] dbmister: dvb-t channel scan works here [11:39] clean hardy install [11:40] i assume mythbackend isn't running? [11:40] brb [11:51] good day ... anyone else have mythfrontend die after scalling images after doing a full upgrade from 07.10 to 8.04? [11:53] hugolp: i have a hauppuage hvr-1110? [11:53] laga: backend is running [11:59] dbmister: stop it [11:59] rockhound: check the logs in /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log [12:00] laga: will do once I have access to the system again ... ;-) thanks for the pointer [12:10] hello, does mythbuntu use pulse audio? [13:09] mythbuntu guided partiotion creates an ext3 partition - is taht good? [13:09] depends. for your recordings store, i'd recommend xfs. [13:10] we didn't get around to fixing this for this release, we'll try to add it in 8.10 :) [13:11] laga: Yes, i will do that. Are there more things I should be aware of? [13:12] no, i don't think so. if you've got the space to spare, you can make a 1-2GB partition for /var/lib/mysql/ to ensure it never gets full. of course, that's a bit overkill but it can be a good idea :) [13:13] laga: if I want to have two filesystems, one root and one for recordings, music, and all other data, how large does the root need to be? [13:13] laga: and where should the other parttition be mounted? [13:15] good question. :) [13:15] let's see if there is something in the manual [13:17] no, there isn't. [13:17] bad documentation monkeys. [13:17] laga: I don't see anything at all about partioning in the manual. [13:17] fstxx: 6-10GB should be enough for everything including /var/lib/mysql [13:18] and the recordings directory should be mounted in.. let's see [13:18] /var/lib/mythtv/ is a good call, but i'm verifying the plugin directories now [13:22] fstxx: yeah /var/lib/mythtv/ contains all the recordings [13:22] and plugin data [13:22] laga: thanks [13:23] i'd say with 10GB for / and the rest for /var/lib/mythtv/ you're on the safe side [13:23] it's often a good idea to have a separate /home [13:23] so you don't lose that when you reinstall. [13:23] although you don't store many data in /home in a typical mythtv install, mostly channel icons and maybe xmltv config files [13:24] I did 16G /, 8 G swap, 16 G spare, rest for xfs [13:24] laga: you say when, not if, :-) [13:24] 8G swap? that's massive :) [13:25] fstxx: oops. :) [13:26] laga: well I still follow the old rule, twice the max ram than machine can handle [13:28] fstxx: my ubuntu boxes usually run really well. then i try to do something very weird and end up reinstalling, which is why /home is separate here :) [13:31] laga: it's not a bad idea. [13:34] laga: is the mythbuntu default to run without swap sapce at all? Do you? [13:34] no [14:45] Some of you tried to change the mythbroser to firefox on Mythbynty 8.04? [14:46] I could not make work [14:51] people have been posting about it on the forunms [14:51] maybe you want to subscribe to those threads [14:58] hi all [14:58] i have installed mythbuntu and it seems to be configured correctly for the most part [14:59] it has picked up my tv card and scanned all the channels but when i try and view them the screen goes black then quits back to main menu does the same for dvd's [14:59] any help [15:02] psicobra: check /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log for hints [15:05] laga, checking now u want me to pastebin it? [15:06] encrypted dvd support unavalible [15:08] psicobra: sure [15:09] laga, http://pastebin.com/m397aa8cb [15:09] thanks [15:12] any joy laga [15:13] psicobra: for tv, you need to fix your backend setup [15:13] eg look around line 120 [15:13] the error messages there [15:13] for a master backend, *both* entries for IP addresses in mythtv-setup need to have the same value [15:14] sow how i change that [15:15] you can change that by running mythtv-setup [15:17] ok what should i change it to/ [15:18] my local i.p i.e 192.169.11.11? [15:18] yeah [15:18] or 127.0.0.1 [15:18] if you don't have other computers on your network using mythtv [15:19] this is the only pc on my network with myth TV installed [15:20] and the i.p address is already set to 127.0.0.1 [15:21] so whats next? [15:24] laga, sorry to be a pain i am trying my best honest [15:24] on that page [15:24] there are two fields for ip addresses [15:24] one for the address of that computer [15:24] yes [15:24] and one for the master backend [15:25] yes [15:25] both need to be set to the same value [15:25] they are [15:25] but ports are different [15:25] don't change the ports from the default [15:25] i haven't [15:26] good [15:26] then everything should work now, hopefully [15:26] both are 127.0.0.1 [15:26] they were already set that way [15:27] no tried again any ways still not working [15:27] did you restart the backend? [15:27] i think it did it automatically [15:28] how do i restart [15:28] yes, it should restart the backend automagically [15:29] ok then it's still not working [15:29] still with the same error message? [15:29] still doing the same thing [15:29] click on tv goes black for a second and then quits to main menue [15:30] new entries in the log file? [15:32] 2008-04-26 15:26:39.686 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost [15:33] http://pastebin.com/m37874821 [15:34] ah, a different error message. [15:34] psicobra: /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log is now interesting [15:35] yes i postedit in the pastebin [15:35] superm1: that's not the backend log [15:37] http://pastebin.com/m160aee3d [15:39] that better [15:42] /home/andy/livetv/', but this directory is not writeable [15:42] would that be it laga [15:48] yeah [15:48] mythbackend run as the "mythtv" user [15:48] so you need to set the permissions for that directory accordingly [15:50] i just changed them manually and now i can watch tv perfectly [15:50] but DVD still not working [15:51] psicobra: your dvd is most likely "copy-protected". if your legislation doesn't prevent you from watching the dvds you've legally bought on your computer, you can install the dvdcss package in mythbuntu-control-centre [15:51] but of course, many countries don't allow thaz [15:51] that* [15:58] i have already ticked the enable libdvdcss2 box still wont work [15:59] that's odd then [16:03] http://pastebin.com/m735e6e48 [16:03] try that [16:04] all of a sudden i got no recording schedules :( [16:05] psicobra: no clue. try a different dvd [16:07] nvm [16:07] all recordings are back :( [16:07] i dont get it [16:13] hm [16:13] maybe mythfilldatabase is not running automatically [16:13] how can i check? [16:21] anyone has found a solution for the Nova-T-500 and Hardy? [16:34] laga, thanks for all your help i sorted it [16:34] please don't ask what the problem was with the DVd [16:39] psicobra: okay. [16:39] what was the problem? :) [16:39] i didn't have a dvd disk in the drive [16:39] :( [16:39] yes, that'd explain it :) [16:39] i did have 1 but then i swapped it to install my wifi drivers and forgot [17:02] so I am guessing there is no solution for the Nova-T-500 in Hardy? [17:25] hello [17:25] i have an problem with a non working ati-remote 1 [17:26] irw doesnt display any codes seems lirc does'nt work propperly [18:58] hi [20:13] wierd question, I dont have a remote so i use a laptop to control my mythbuntu through vnc, is there a way to control the volume using keyboard commands? [20:14] hello [20:15] :) [20:15] heya [20:15] i recently upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now I get the following error trying to start mythfrontend: /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen :( [20:16] not many awake right now olov, and im a newby :( [20:18] i see, it is evening here about 9pm... [20:28] olov: that's a known issue, kind of. [20:29] olov: although i'm not sure what's causing it [20:31] laga: is there anything i can do, besides reinstalling? [20:34] olov: try reinstalling libmyth-0.21-0 and mythtv-frontend, eg sudo aptitude reinstall [20:34] olov: i assume you were using the weekly builds repository before upgrading? [20:44] laga: E: I wasn't able to locate file for the libmyth-0.21-0 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package [20:45] olov: what does apt-cache policy libmyth-0.21-0 say? [20:48] libmyth-0.21-0: [20:48] Installed: 0.21.0+fixes17120-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2 [20:48] Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes17120-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2 [20:48] Version table: [20:48] *** 0.21.0+fixes17120-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2 0 [20:48] 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [20:48] 0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3 0 [20:48] 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages [20:49] hum [20:49] i'll have to try to verify that in a VM [20:50] olov: you can folow this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765725 [20:50] olov: in the mean time [20:50] olov: can you try downgrading mythtv?

[20:56] Anybody know if the TV chip on Happauge Win-TV-PVR-4000 is the same as on Win-TV-PVR-350? [20:57] laga: downgrading helped... a lot... :) i can now start mythtv, both front and backend... [20:57] olov: great [20:58] laga: thank you !!! [20:59] olov: if you're registered in the forums, maybe you can post your workaround [21:00] olov: but you were using the weekly builds, correct? [21:01] laga: not sure, can I check? [21:01] olov: try looking in /etc/apt/sources.list [21:02] laga: what in the list am I looking for? keywords? [21:03] olov: maybe you can just pastebin the whole thing, there are some mirrors for it [21:05] I seem to have: hardy main, hardy-updates, hardy-security, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed (and src for all of them) all from se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [21:05] Is anyone here using Happauge 1300? It's listed on this page, but I wonder if there are any problems with it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Gutsy/Tuners [21:05] olov: nothing else? [21:06] olov: maybe something in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [21:06] laga: nothing more in /etc/apt/sources.list, I'll take a look in the next one.. [21:09] Anyone got a minute to help a Myth newbie? [21:09] laga: in medibuntu.list.save: deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free and in medibuntu.list.distUpgrade: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free thats it... [21:10] laga: what would weekly builds look like? [21:10] LeeSharp: what are you trying to do [21:10] LeeSharp: just ask the quesiton [21:11] olov: mine looks like "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu hardy main [21:11] " [21:11] olov: but you must have been using the weekly builds for gutsy, then you upgraded and that caused the problem i think.. [21:12] laga: am I likely to run into this problem again? [21:13] olov: i don't think so. does it ask you to upgrade mythtv now if you run whatever you usually to update your system? [21:14] laga: no [21:14] olov: do you have any other files which look like a sources.list in /etc/apt/? maybe with a "old" suffix or something. [21:14] olov: okay, then you should be fine [21:15] I just installed a new front/back from the real hardy live cd.

[21:21] olov: that'd explain a few things. how annoying.. :/ [21:22] laga: I think I might have turned something on to get a mythtv upgrade a few months back, possibly this? thanx again for helping me solve my mess :) [21:23] olov: yeah. [21:23] olov: it's not exactly your fault, it's just an annoying upgrade probkem [21:24] Any hint on my small font problem, or should it try an reinstall? [21:27] LeeSharp: what's the DPI of your monitor? check with 'xdpyinfo' in a terminal [21:29] It is an old 24 inch dell. I set it as 1024x768 as the max res, and the user is at 1024x768. [21:33] LeeSharp: yes, but what's the DPI setting? [22:48] hi [22:49] kommt hier jmd aus deutschland oder should i talk in english?

I know I need to setup RAID1 for boot but cant seem to make it work. [23:20] how can i use scan? what have i to type in the terminal?
