riddleboxok, there is a workaround for anyone who wants to compile the linuxtv drivers in the hardy version of mythbuntu00:28
cal_dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-databse (and set a root password)00:34
cal_dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common (and actually made no changes)00:34
cal_and I ran this to supposedly give access on my subnet...00:34
cal_grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"172.16.1.%" identified by "mythtv";00:34
cal_my volume doesnt go up as high once I upgraded to .21 ..i have it set to /dev/dsp like i did before. any ideas on this?00:37
mooseman089hey i just upgraded my ubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04 and it upgraded mythtv for me but now i cant access mythweb00:37
riddleboxtgm4883_laptop, hey00:39
riddleboxI am up and running with hardy, mythbuntu, got my linuxtv drivers working, with the hardy kernel00:40
riddleboxnow I have to go through and delete the cards, and add my hd tuner first, reboot then add my pvr after that to get sound00:40
riddleboxweird00:40
tgm4883_laptopstrange00:40
mooseman089what config file does mythweb use to tell apache what url to find mythweb at?00:40
tgm4883_laptopis there a reason for all that?00:40
riddleboxtgm4883_laptop, not sure thats how it was before00:41
TazgodXso if i use mythbuntu control center to configure a IR blaster to work with a motorola STB, whta should i put as an external channel change command?00:41
riddleboxthe devs told me that it has to deal with the card00:41
tgm4883_laptopTazgodX, you need to have an external channel changing program00:41
TazgodXso i need to make it?00:42
TazgodXor find it00:42
tgm4883_laptopmooseman089, did you use the upgrade manager?00:42
tgm4883_laptopTazgodX, there should be some already made on the mythtv website00:42
mooseman089yea nothing fancy at all00:42
tgm4883_laptopmooseman089, did you upgrade from what version of mythtv?00:42
mooseman089im not sure offhand whatever was in the 6.06 repos00:43
tgm4883_laptopk00:43
tgm4883_laptopanything go wrong with the upgrade?00:43
riddleboxtgm4883_laptop, the ubuntu kernel devs will not fix this problem with the kernel! but there is a pretty easy workaround00:43
mooseman089nope but there was a couple instances of the keep or replace file dialogs00:43
tgm4883_laptopso other than mythweb not working, everything else works ok?00:44
mooseman089well i guess so i havent done any fancy testing but my frontend shows all my recordings and stuff00:44
mooseman089would you mind showing me your mythweb apache vhost file?00:46
tgm4883_laptopapache vhost file?00:47
tgm4883_laptopwhere would I find that??00:47
mooseman089/etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf i believe00:48
mooseman089just paste it here http://apache.pastebin.ca/00:48
tgm4883_laptopok, http://apache.pastebin.ca/1001098  I XXXXXX my password in it00:50
tgm4883_laptopLet us know if you run across any other problems besides this mythweb problem00:51
mooseman089hmm mine is identical to yours00:54
tgm4883_laptopcan you restate the problem again?00:55
mooseman089when i go the page i used to access mythweb from (http://localhost/mythweb) i just get a 404 error00:56
tgm4883_laptopok00:57
tgm4883_laptopwhat do you have in /var/www/mythweb00:57
mooseman089looks all the normal stuff00:59
tgm4883_laptophmm01:00
tgm4883_laptopi'm wondering is something like dpkg-reconfigure mythweb would work01:01
mooseman089hmm i just dont know why i would get a 404 its really odd01:02
mooseman089i just tried the dpkg-reconfigure to no avail01:05
tgm4883_laptophmm01:06
mooseman089hmm do you think this could be a permission issue/01:13
tgm4883_laptopperhaps01:14
mooseman089if you do a ls -l in /var/www what kind of permissions does mythweb have?01:14
tgm4883_laptop77701:15
mooseman089owner?01:15
tgm4883_laptoproot:root01:15
mooseman089hmm still nothing and the apache error log shows nothing01:17
mooseman089haha i got it to work01:20
mooseman089apparently the update manager replaced the default apache vhost but i pulled one out of my backups and somehow it works now01:21
tgm4883_laptopsweet01:21
mooseman089yea im going to do some comparing and see what the problem was01:22
mooseman089hmm well i dont know what was cuasing it but whatever it is all good now01:25
Seeker`gah, the device my lirc remote appears as seems to change occasionally on boot from event2 to event5, and then a couple of boots later it changes back again01:27
filthpighi, does anyone know if Technotrend Budget C-1501 is supported in linux? I know the 1500 was, but that's discontinued... Couldn't find anything in google on it01:41

hansoffatehi, I just upgraded to 8.04, and now my MythFrontend doesn't work.06:24
hansoffateany help would be appreciated06:25
tgm4883_laptophansoffate, I have to go to bed, i'm dead tired.  But make sure that your frontend (which I am assuming is a remote frontend) is MythTV 0.21  Also, make sure you have the mysql service activated (not sure if you have to re do that after a upgrade)06:53
hansoffatethanks for the help tgm4883_laptop.  I ran mythfrontend through terminal, and it said I have to upgrade.  I just upgraded and I am running the mythfill.06:54
hansoffatenight06:55
hansoffatei think this should wokr06:55

tgm4883_laptopnight06:55
hansoffatewell, it seems as though it can't upgrade06:58
hansoffateeverytime I run mythtv-setup, it says upgrade from 1180 to 1214,  after I try it and run the mythfill (or not) I get the same issue.06:59
hansoffate_http://pastebin.ca/100143607:07

MythbuntuGuest92Hey, I see on the Mythbuntu web pages that NVidia is the recommended video card.10:16
MythbuntuGuest92http://www.mythbuntu.org/requirements10:17
MythbuntuGuest92Is that still the case? I was thinking of going ATI/AMD because they are getting more open-source friendly.10:17
MythbuntuGuest92But I want something that is easy to use, of course. :)10:17
famicomMythbuntuGuest92 dont use nvidia10:36
famicomits shit10:36
famicomget an ati amd card10:36
famicomthey kick ass10:36
famicomworking video accelleration and HDMI out10:36
hugolpMythbuntuGuest92:  Nvidia used to be the right choice for linux, but now its changing. In fact Nvidia has give me and others (check the forums) a lot of problems with Hardy. But I believe ATI support is still not complete for all cards. So I would check specifically for the card you want to buy before buying10:42
MythbuntuGuest92Hm... good to know, thanks guys.10:44
MythbuntuGuest92I mostly want whatever is cheapest. ;)10:44
MythbuntuGuest92Of course hardware mpeg decoding would be nice, but I don't think that matters so much.10:45
MythbuntuGuest92I didn't have it on my last MythTV box (I think) and never missed it.10:45
neopsycheHi im new to myth tv.. windows refugee using ubuntu.. have installed mythbuntu, not sure how to get this all working.. i want to do timed recording pvr for single channel.. i am currently watching tv on analog tv card with xawtv.13:29
famicomoh13:42
famicomwell13:42
famicomerhm13:42
famicomso your card is confirmed to work?13:51
MythbuntuGuest92Yeah, can you watch live TV with it?13:54
famicomwith mythtv?13:55
famicomyeah13:55
pdragonnvidia cards work perfectly fine if you use the binary driver. if you need a video card that works NOW, get nvidia14:00
famicomno14:00
famicomget ATI14:00
pdragonyes14:00
famicomthey got working hdmi out14:00
pdragondo you need hdmi?14:01
pdragonif you're an open source purist, then no, you don't want Nvidia. If you don't care and just want something that's cheap and works, you can get an nvidia card :)14:01
pdragoni've built three mythbuntu boxes, all with nvidia. old and new cards. they've all worked fine14:02
pdragonnot saying there's anything wrong with ATI. there isn't. just make sure what you're getting works before you get it14:03
pdragonat the time i was building mine, there were no cheap, working ATI cards14:04
famicomI personally love the new r2400hd pro14:04
pdragonthat's cool. and if it works great. just don't beat down on Nvidia saying it's crap. it's not. they work great, they're just not open source. least they are making linux drivers tho :)14:05
famicomwell14:08
famicomI had some HORRIBLE overscan problems with nvidia14:08
pdragonand there have been HORRIBLE issues (and still are) with ATI driver support. Issues that are still not worked out, especially if you're trying to get older/cheaper cards to work14:09
pdragonthey both have their good and bad.14:09
famicomwell14:12
famicomto be honest14:12
famicomthe state of gfx drivers is just plain pathetic14:12
pdragontrue. but they're getting better14:12
pdragonand, honestly, if you hang out in here, you'll see more people having issues with ATI than Nvidia ;)14:12
pdragoni agree that will probably change eventually14:13
pdragonbut that's now how things stand now14:13
pdragonnow=not14:13

Can someone help talk me throught the process of setting it up?14:49
pdragonyou just looking for advice on how to use it in general?15:14
cal_any way to get sound in the flash player on mythweb?15:15
pdragoni've seen several threads on that in the forums. might try searching there15:15
cal_i did. no resolutions on any of them.15:25
pdragonhmm... not sure then, sorry. just remember seeing a lot of people asking that there15:26
cal_does it work for you?15:28
pdragoni honestly haven't tried it yet15:28
cal_well... get on it! =)15:28
pdragonheh15:28
cal_i switched from knoppmyth to mythbuntu, and am liking it hella better.15:29
haffi__This might not be the right place to ask, but I'll try anyway: I have a problem with vnc server on Mythbuntu after upgrading to 8.04. It closes the connection every time I click the mouse or press a key.15:29
pdragonhttp://www.mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes15:30
haffi__hehe, right15:31
haffi__thanx15:31
pdragonnp15:31
haffi__ok google tells me that vnc4server is broken on hardy15:39
haffi__can you recommend a replacement?15:39
pdragonhrm... sorry, no. i just knew about that issue during the upgrade15:55
pdragontry asking in the forums?15:55
haffi__pdragon: it's kind of funny because I don't have a monitor plugged in the computer and the only way to configure vnc is with mcc15:57
pdragonnot much else i can tell ya. just user myself too :)16:02
MythbuntuGuest92I had a weird experience. I installed Mythbuntu 8.04 on a new system, and it was really sow.16:14
MythbuntuGuest92I mean, it would take like 3 seconds going between menus.16:14
MythbuntuGuest92("slow" not "sow")16:14
MythbuntuGuest92I then installed 7.10 and it was zippy.16:15
MythbuntuGuest92Then I upgraded to 8.04, and it is still zippy.16:15
MythbuntuGuest92:(16:15
MythbuntuGuest92I mean, glad it's responsive, but... :-P16:15
cal_grr16:23
cal_i turned off the screen saver. my screen still goes black after a few minutes.16:23
MythbuntuGuest92I ran a script running "xset s off" in a loop on my last MythTV box for that reason.16:26
MythbuntuGuest92Not a perfect solution, but at least the screen stayed on.16:27
pdragoncal_: install gnome_power_management16:29
pdragonthen go to the screensaver settings and set it to never turn off16:29
cal_pdragon: but i did that in the control panel already16:29
cal_pdragon: and i dont use gnome i use xfce16:30
pdragonyou turned the screen saver off, but not the monitor power saver16:30
pdragonright, it just installs a power management option in the screen saver menu16:30
pdragonit won't install gnome16:30
pdragoneasier than trying to find the setting in a config file somewhere16:30
cal_so there are two screen blanking processes running. dooooooooh!!!16:31
pdragonyep :)16:31
cal_thats bug imo16:31
cal_chmod a-x gnome-screensaver16:31
pdragonyeah, not sure where the bug really lies though, with xfce not having monitor power management or that package not being installed16:32
pdragonif you just install xubuntu, it has the same issue16:33
cal_heh16:33
cal_i still like it a lot better than knoppmyth16:34

hansoffateHi, I just did a distro upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04.  Everytime I run mythtv-setup, it says upgrade from 1180 to 1214,  after I try it and run the mythfill (or not) I get the same issue.17:11
hansoffateThis is what happens: http://pastebin.ca/100143617:12
hansoffateany ideas?17:12
cal_yeah i had the same issue17:14
cal_i gave up and wiped the database and started fresh17:14
cal_why are you running mythtv setup as root17:16
hansoffatenot sure17:21
hansoffateit wasn't working without root, so i figured i'll try with root17:21
hansoffatecal_: how did you wipe the database, i'm almost ready to just do that17:21
=== bronson_ is now known as hobot
famicomwhy the hell doesnt mythtv pick up my channels when i import an sql dump from my previous install18:14
hansoffatefamicom: I am having database problems too.  Did you upgrade?  I just upgraded and now my mythfrontend won't run becuase my DB isn't upgraded18:21
=== MythbuntuGuest15 is now known as GreggNJ
famicomnah, same transponder bs18:28
GreggNJGood afternoon; I just recenlyt updated to mythbuntu 8.04 and had a couple questions.  1) Mythweb is not working, i get an error message about the database not being able to be authenitated18:29
GreggNJalso, for the storage directories, what permissions shoudl they have for myth to read and write from them18:29
GreggNJi also noticed the mythtv group is not created like it was in 7.10..should i make this group manually?18:29
pdragonhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/22153218:30
pdragonthat's how to fix the broken mythweb18:31
pdragongroups need to have user & group read/write permissions for the mythtv user/group18:31
pdragonstorage groups i mean18:31
pdragonnot sure why the mythtv group isn't there anymore18:32
GreggNJok great.  for the mythweb password, the 2 files have to match?  Will i still use the password i set in the control center to access it?18:32
GreggNJif the mythtv group is not there can i make it manually?18:33
famicomGreggNJ yeah18:33
famicomoffcourse18:33
pdragonthis password is for the database access, not your login/password to access mythweb18:33
famicompdragon just reset your mysql root pass and try again18:34
famicom check etc/mythtv18:34
pdragonthat's not the root password18:34
pdragonthat's the mythtv mysql user password18:34
GreggNJfamicom: thanks, just wanted to make sure it would work if i created it normally. also a related question..i created a sotrage group for scheduleded recorings...how do i set it that myth will use that dir for recordings18:35
pdragonit's a bug that several people have run into now when updating the mythweb package18:35
pdragonwhen you create the recording schedule, there's an option to choose which storage group you want18:35
GreggNJpdragon:  ahh ok, i see...thanks a bunch, will have to give it a shot after work18:35
GreggNJpdragon: awesome thanks...haven't gotten that far into the whole process yet18:36
pdragonpersonally, i just set the default storage group and that's where all my recordings go18:36
pdragonbut if you want different recordings to go in different places, that's where you'd set it18:36
GreggNJsorry for all the questions but for the scheduleing, i joined schedules direct, but when it goes to retrieve the listings it opens the terminal window and seems to just run, trying to get the listings in a loop18:37
pdragonby default there's a LiveTV group you can set and livetv will automatically go there18:37
pdragonand the other "Default" storage group will be where scheduled recordings go unless you tell it differently18:37
GreggNJpdragon: great, thanks.  i have multiple drives so i have one for livetv and default and a large drives for the scheduled recordings18:37
hansoffateDoes anyone know what to do if my DB keeps failing to upgrade?18:37
pdragonGreggNJ: It looks like it's going in a loop, but it isn't18:38
pdragonif you look closely you can see the dates it's downloading are different. just let it go18:38
GreggNJahh ok..so it will eventually finsih and close the terminal window?18:38
pdragonGreggNJ: You'll want to set one of your drives as the LiveTV group and the other large drive as the Default group then18:39
GreggNJpdragon: thanks for the tip, i will edit that later tonite18:39
pdragonall the storage group needs is a full path, so just make sure the drives are mounted where you want them to be18:39
pdragonhansoffate: i'm not sure, sorry. try the forum if no one else here can help18:40
hansoffatek, thanks18:40
GreggNJpdragon: yup they are mounted and entered into fstab18:42

sabhaini'm looking for a few pointers on frontend installs for 8.04 / mythbuntu19:50
Seeker`any ideas on how to fix this? as every time it does, I need to change /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, as it doesn't autodetect it as a remote control19:50
sabhainI have a couple of frontends built that are flash disk boot to NFS / drives .. seem to be functioning well19:51
Seeker`it has only started doing this since I upgraded to 8.0419:51
sabhainright now only CLI with the mini-iso install from 8.04 LTS19:51
sabhainis there one package that i can command line install (mythbuntu .. ?) that will build up the minimum front end software?19:52
sabhainor do I need to go ahead and install ubuntu-desktop first.19:52
sabhainthe systems will be mythtv specific, with no other functions.19:53
sebrockplease anyone help me make a deb to replace the lirc version that came with 8.0419:53
tgm4883_laptopsabhain, there is a mythbuntu cd that you can do frontend only installations19:56
sabhaintgm4883_laptop, I do have that, but was wondering if there's a "master" install package that I can apt-get to trigger a network install.19:59
sebrockwhy should it be such a mess to create a replacement deb or update the existing package with cvs20:00
Tyborcan someone send me the sources.conf  of a 8.04 mythbuntu?20:04
hansoffatetgm4883_laptop: got any ideas on my issue?20:04
tgm4883_laptopsabhain, you might be able to get either the mcc package or just mythtv frontend package, not sure what dependencies those will pull in though20:12
tgm4883_laptopyou can also go diskless too20:12
sabhaintgm4883_laptop: thanks for the input.  I just poked around at the dependencies on the mythbuntu-desktop package, and I think it may pull everything in.20:14
sabhainI didn't want to play around with diskless .. since I don't want to alter my existing DHCP setup.20:15
tgm4883_laptopah20:15
sabhainso I've got a small 2GB CF card on IDE that has my /boot stuff .. and it mounts NFS right away20:15
tgm4883_laptopI just had to add a simple line to my dhcp server in order for it to work20:15
tgm4883_laptophelps that I use ddwrt20:15
sabhainthen everything else (/) resides on an NFS server that is also the primary backend20:16
sabhainit seems pretty good so far.  Lots of RAM so swap isn't an issue ..20:16
sabhainand it will end up being standard front end install .. not diskless20:16
tgm4883_laptopsounds good.  just FYI, AFAIK, diskless frontend can do the same as a regular frontend (well except boot without the network)20:17
sabhainI have my DHCP on a router .. so no ability to pass the PXE image stuff directly that way ..20:17
tgm4883_laptopsabhain, mine too.  A wrt-54gs running ddwrt20:17
sabhainI'm sure it can .. I'm just wary about the extra setup stuff .. seems really easy to do standard FE20:18
sebrockanyone used DKMS before?20:19
tgm4883_laptopnot in a long time20:19
tgm4883_laptopI used it in about 2002 with my inspiron 5100 and fedora20:20
sabhaintgm4883_laptop: I'll look into ddwrt .. thanks for the lead .. I just have out of the box router at the moment20:20
MythbuntuGuest01Hello i have the old 7.10 mythbuntu and i become the following error: Please create a symlink to your MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use21:04

tgm4883_laptopchairman, vnc changed between 7.10 and 8.04.  Did you re set it up?21:10
chairmanyes21:10
chairmanor what do you mean with re set it up?21:11
chairmanI startet the myth-control-panel21:11
chairmanand turned it on again and inserted a password21:11
MythbuntuGuest01ok error found the syslink at mythweb/data folder was frong.. from covers and video21:24
MythbuntuGuest01i have a other question in mythweb is a ftp server, but where can i edit the folder and with username can logged in?21:24
MythbuntuGuest01can nobody help me? :(21:28
pdragonMythbuntuGuest01: don't understand what you're asking21:29
MythbuntuGuest01in mythbuntu is integrated a ftp server?21:31
pdragonnot that i'm aware of21:34
pdragonmythweb runs from apache21:34
MythbuntuGuest01oh ok i've wrong. can you say me a good ftpserver easy to config pherhaps with a user interface?21:35
pdragonproftpd is a pretty popular one. don't know if it really has a gui interface though21:37
* tgm4883_laptop isn't a fan of ftp21:38
MythbuntuGuest01ok thanks i try to install21:38
MythbuntuGuest01its transer faster as samba21:39
tgm4883_laptopwhat do you need to transfer to your mythtv box so much?21:40
tgm4883_laptopuse scp21:40
pdragonyou can also use ssh or scp to transfer files21:40
pdragoni believer ssh server is installed by default21:40
MythbuntuGuest01the mythtv pc cant record tv films because its not good enough. and then i record it with wini visa and than transfer to samba.21:41
MythbuntuGuest01and look on mythtv the films... and the hd of mythtv pc isnt big, too. also i must transfer films offen21:42
MythbuntuGuest01samba and ftp is the easyest way that i know21:42
pdragonyou're recording on an windows vista computer?21:43
MythbuntuGuest01yes21:44
pdragonyou can use WinSCP or FileZilla to transfer files from the windows computer over scp21:44
MythbuntuGuest01i dont know these programs21:44
pdragonFileZilla is an FTP program21:44
pdragonit can do SSH file transfers, also21:45
pdragonhttp://filezilla-project.org/21:45
MythbuntuGuest01ssh is good, but at lan i think it hafe a lower bandwigth21:45
pdragonit's not any slower than FTP over a lan21:46
pdragonnot anything you'd even notice anyway21:46
MythbuntuGuest01is ith easy to install?21:47
pdragonnot any harder than any other windows program21:47
pdragonjust tell it your doing SSH over FTP for the connection type21:48
MythbuntuGuest01in win okay, but at mythbuntu?21:48
pdragonSSH server is already installed on mythbuntu21:48
MythbuntuGuest01ah ok greate21:49
MythbuntuGuest01with frotocol is it on winscp?21:50

MythbuntuGuest01mh i've restarted but the same speed :(22:07
neopsychepdragon: not sure where to start.. i installed some stuff from the repos22:07
MythbuntuGuest87Can anyone assist me in installing the diskless service?22:07
neopsychehave backend22:07
neopsychenot sure what the frontend "is" it says something about a database needing to be setup22:07
neopsychealso i am watching TV on XAWTV it works .. so i guess it can work with myth tv also22:07
pdragonnever used xawtv22:08
pdragonyou installed mythtv on an existing ubuntu desktop already?22:09
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest87, what is the problem?22:09
MythbuntuGuest87I installed the diskless service however none of the computers on the network will boot from it22:10
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest87, did you set up your dhcp server?22:10
MythbuntuGuest87I tried leaving my DD-WRT router with DHCP and removed it and installed in on my backend, but the only thing that accomplished was losing internet for everything22:11
MythbuntuGuest87unless I missed configureing something.22:11
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest87, you can configure ddwrt to do it22:12
tgm4883_laptopI did on mine22:12
tgm4883_laptopsec22:12
pdragonneopsyche: have to head out. Check these links: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV for installation & setup & http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Index for using it afterwards22:13
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest87, this thread helped me  http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4662&highlight=pxe22:13
tgm4883_laptopI'll be home in about 2 hours, I can look at my config then22:13
MythbuntuGuest87I looked at that and it didn't work out for me22:13
MythbuntuGuest87I think it is because I dont know how to make: dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.1  work on my system22:14
MythbuntuGuest87i changed the IP to my IP on the backend22:14
tgm4883_laptopyea thats wrong22:24
tgm4883_laptopsec22:24
tgm4883_laptopmaybe i can login from here22:24

MythbuntuGuest01do somebody know, that work a ato readon 7000 ve and tv out with mythbuntu 8.04? or have a how to for me?22:26
MythbuntuGuest95If i followed that thread for the DD-WRT then do i need the DHCP service installed for the diskless botting?22:27

MythbuntuGuest95hmmm... I must be missing something here with this diskless booting22:33
KillerKiwi2005Is there a list of capture cards that are known to work / not work, with mythbuntu?  a wiki page maybe?22:34
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest92, i'll post how mine is setup when I get home22:34
tgm4883_laptopI believe the problem is that you don't have the location of the image in there22:35
MythbuntuGuest95I made the image using the Mythbuntu control center22:35
MythbuntuGuest95do I need to do anything beyond there?  Or where should I move it to?22:35
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest95, are you the.fubz on the forums?22:37
MythbuntuGuest95yes.  I cant figure out how to change my name in IRC =p22:38
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest95, your image is fine where it is.  It's the config in ddwrt that you need to tweak22:38
tgm4883_laptop /nick name22:38
MythbuntuGuest95faf22:38
MythbuntuGuest95doesn't seem to work... maybe it's because im using the web IRC client22:38
tgm4883_laptopI'll answer your question when I get home.  Then I can post my config line and you will be setup22:38

tgm4883_laptoplaga, what is prometheus again?22:44
fubzya22:44
fubzsame question =p22:44
tgm4883_laptopfubz, it's either his backend or frontend22:45
tgm4883_laptopi think backend22:45
tgm4883_laptophostname22:45
tgm4883_laptopbut IIRC, it isn't needed22:45
lagait's the host name of the server where the tftpd resides22:45
lagaik forgot what those fields mean and i dont have the dnasmasq.conf documentation handy22:45
tgm4883_laptop dhcp-boot=ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.122:45
hansoffateIf anyone has some time, could you check out this forum post and see if you got any ideas on how to fix this.    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77444222:45
tgm4883_laptopfubz, this should work  dhcp-boot=ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.122:46
hansoffatelaga: i just realized it was you that posted to me originally22:46
fubzdoes "Apply Settings" work in DD-WRT or should I reboot it?22:47
tgm4883_laptoperr, i belive it wors22:47
tgm4883_laptopwhat version?22:47
lagahansoffate: sorry, the logs provide no clue. maybe you need to run "optimize_mythdb.pl" - you can do that in the control centre, "repair and optimize database" is the name of the button (or something similar)22:48
hansoffatelaga: i tried the repair and optimize button thorugh the Control Centre22:49
fubzStill getting no boot.... no error messages either.  Not that i know if they would even appear.22:49
lagafubz: read my reply to your thread in the forums :)22:49
fubzYa my control center is updated.  I know im not very detailed but there are no more details.  I get no error messages, everything to my knowledge has been configured, I followed the wiki 5 times, and followed the DD-WRT thread 3 times to make sure all the settings were "correct"22:51
lagafubz: what version of the control centre do you have now?22:52
hansoffatelaga: is there anyway to just blowout the DB and then upgrade?22:52
fubz0.27-0ubuntu122:53
lagafubz: you need 0.2822:53
fubzumm... hmmm.... package manager says that the 0.27 is the latest22:53
lagafubz: that's why i said you need to enable the -proposed repo :) it'll go into the normal -updates repo in a few days, after enough people have tested it. the fix didn't go into the normal repos, unfortunately :/22:54
fubzhaha, don't hate me... but.... how do I do that?22:55
lagahansoffate: yes. you can run "drop database mythconverg;" in a mysql shell (mysql -u root -p). then you can run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database' to reinitialise the database. of course, you'll lose all your saved stuff :/22:55
lagafubz: i'll hate you while i find out the easiest way, brb22:55
hansoffatelaga: sweet, i'll just lose all the DB stuff, but i'll keep the mpgs of the recorded programs?  I didn't want to realy lose my DB, but id rather lose my DB then reinstall from scratch again22:57
hansoffatedoes that mean all my saved settings as well... basically anything that has to do with myth?22:57
hansoffateor just my recorded programs info, watched, deleted, EPG, etc?22:57
lagahansoffate: yes. except for minor stuff like your lircrc. you can keep the recordings, but you'll have to re-import then22:58
lagahansoffate: there should be a database backup somewhere (don't remember where exactly), maybe that'll work better once restored22:58
lagagod, the ubuntu wiki drives me nuts sometimes22:59
lagafubz: do you mind editing configuration files? ,)23:00
tgm4883_laptoplaga, he can do it in synaptic23:00
fubzI would love to23:00
lagaoh.23:00
lagatgm4883_laptop: then you explain it to him23:01
lagai don't use the gUI apps often23:01
hansoffatelaga: thanks for all the info.  I couldn't find the DB backup.23:01
lagahansoffate: i'll try to find out where it lives23:02
tgm4883_laptopfubz, are you familiar with synaptic?23:03
fubzi have installed a few thigns from it if that counts23:03
tgm4883_laptopthat works23:03
tgm4883_laptopopen it up23:03
lagahansoffate: /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database23:04
tgm4883_laptopon the top click "settings" then "repositories"23:04
lagatake a look at that file :) it'll tell you where to find the backups23:04
tgm4883_laptopfubz, then on the third tab of the window that pops up, check the box next to proposed23:04
hansoffatealright, i'll take a look.  thanks laga23:04
fubz=D there it is! THANKS!23:05
fubzlets see if it works though....23:05
tgm4883_laptopthen just click close on that window, then reload in synaptic23:05
