[00:28] ok, there is a workaround for anyone who wants to compile the linuxtv drivers in the hardy version of mythbuntu [00:34] dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-databse (and set a root password) [00:34] dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common (and actually made no changes) [00:34] and I ran this to supposedly give access on my subnet... [00:34] grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"172.16.1.%" identified by "mythtv"; [00:37] 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] hey i just upgraded my ubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04 and it upgraded mythtv for me but now i cant access mythweb [00:39] tgm4883_laptop, hey [00:40] I am up and running with hardy, mythbuntu, got my linuxtv drivers working, with the hardy kernel [00:40] now I have to go through and delete the cards, and add my hd tuner first, reboot then add my pvr after that to get sound [00:40] weird [00:40] strange [00:40] what config file does mythweb use to tell apache what url to find mythweb at? [00:40] is there a reason for all that? [00:41] tgm4883_laptop, not sure thats how it was before [00:41] so 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] the devs told me that it has to deal with the card [00:41] TazgodX, you need to have an external channel changing program [00:42] so i need to make it? [00:42] or find it [00:42] mooseman089, did you use the upgrade manager? [00:42] TazgodX, there should be some already made on the mythtv website [00:42] yea nothing fancy at all [00:42] mooseman089, did you upgrade from what version of mythtv? [00:43] im not sure offhand whatever was in the 6.06 repos [00:43] k [00:43] anything go wrong with the upgrade? [00:43] tgm4883_laptop, the ubuntu kernel devs will not fix this problem with the kernel! but there is a pretty easy workaround [00:43] nope but there was a couple instances of the keep or replace file dialogs [00:44] so other than mythweb not working, everything else works ok? [00:44] well i guess so i havent done any fancy testing but my frontend shows all my recordings and stuff [00:46] would you mind showing me your mythweb apache vhost file? [00:47] apache vhost file? [00:47] where would I find that?? [00:48] /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf i believe [00:48] just paste it here http://apache.pastebin.ca/ [00:50] ok, http://apache.pastebin.ca/1001098 I XXXXXX my password in it [00:51] Let us know if you run across any other problems besides this mythweb problem [00:54] hmm mine is identical to yours [00:55] can you restate the problem again? [00:56] when i go the page i used to access mythweb from (http://localhost/mythweb) i just get a 404 error [00:57] ok [00:57] what do you have in /var/www/mythweb [00:59] looks all the normal stuff [01:00] hmm [01:01] i'm wondering is something like dpkg-reconfigure mythweb would work [01:02] hmm i just dont know why i would get a 404 its really odd [01:05] i just tried the dpkg-reconfigure to no avail [01:06] hmm [01:13] hmm do you think this could be a permission issue/ [01:14] perhaps [01:14] if you do a ls -l in /var/www what kind of permissions does mythweb have? [01:15] 777 [01:15] owner? [01:15] root:root [01:17] hmm still nothing and the apache error log shows nothing [01:20] haha i got it to work [01:21] apparently the update manager replaced the default apache vhost but i pulled one out of my backups and somehow it works now [01:21] sweet [01:22] yea im going to do some comparing and see what the problem was [01:25] hmm well i dont know what was cuasing it but whatever it is all good now [01:27] 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 again [01:41] hi, 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 it [01:56] !hardware | filthpig [01:58] Hello- anyone here?

[02:32] nope, analog [02:32] cheap onboard audio, but i swear it was louder before [02:33] I had a similar problem when I was using the analog on my digital card, but it went away when I switched to the optical out... [02:34] is there a mixer setting i am missing somewhere? [02:34] played with alsamixer? [02:34] or is that just digital? (I don't know) [02:35] how do i load alsamixer?

[03:03] does anybody know why the mythbuntu CD is not install grub on my computer? [03:03] err i guess i mean not setting up grub, it's installed [03:09] Is there anyone here that can help me with an issue that I am having involving channel listings? [03:26] Possibly, shoot [03:34] Hrm. Anyone else have speed issues playing back h.264 and mpeg4(apple) video? [06:24] hi, I just upgraded to 8.04, and now my MythFrontend doesn't work. [06:25] any help would be appreciated [06:53] hansoffate, 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) [06:54] thanks 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. [06:55] night [06:55] i think this should wokr [06:55] work* [06:55] night [06:58] well, it seems as though it can't upgrade [06:59] 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. [07:07] http://pastebin.ca/1001436 [07:07] thats what happens when I try to update my DB when running mythtv-setup. [07:07] any ideas? [07:18] fucken isp. [07:30] tgm4883: you there? [09:18] i'm trying mythbuntu livecd and i got troubles to connect to database [09:18] i'm in mythtv group [09:19] please help [10:16] Hey, I see on the Mythbuntu web pages that NVidia is the recommended video card. [10:17] http://www.mythbuntu.org/requirements [10:17] Is that still the case? I was thinking of going ATI/AMD because they are getting more open-source friendly. [10:17] But I want something that is easy to use, of course. :) [10:36] MythbuntuGuest92 dont use nvidia [10:36] its shit [10:36] get an ati amd card [10:36] they kick ass [10:36] working video accelleration and HDMI out [10:42] MythbuntuGuest92: 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 buying [10:44] Hm... good to know, thanks guys. [10:44] I mostly want whatever is cheapest. ;) [10:45] Of course hardware mpeg decoding would be nice, but I don't think that matters so much. [10:45] I didn't have it on my last MythTV box (I think) and never missed it. [13:29] Hi 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. [13:42] oh [13:42] well [13:42] erhm [13:51] so your card is confirmed to work? [13:54] Yeah, can you watch live TV with it? [13:55] with mythtv? [13:55] yeah [14:00] nvidia cards work perfectly fine if you use the binary driver. if you need a video card that works NOW, get nvidia [14:00] no [14:00] get ATI [14:00] yes [14:00] they got working hdmi out [14:01] do you need hdmi? [14:01] if 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 :) [14:02] i've built three mythbuntu boxes, all with nvidia. old and new cards. they've all worked fine [14:03] not saying there's anything wrong with ATI. there isn't. just make sure what you're getting works before you get it [14:04] at the time i was building mine, there were no cheap, working ATI cards [14:04] I personally love the new r2400hd pro [14:05] that'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 :) [14:08] well [14:08] I had some HORRIBLE overscan problems with nvidia [14:09] and 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 work [14:09] they both have their good and bad. [14:12] well [14:12] to be honest [14:12] the state of gfx drivers is just plain pathetic [14:12] true. but they're getting better [14:12] and, honestly, if you hang out in here, you'll see more people having issues with ATI than Nvidia ;) [14:13] i agree that will probably change eventually [14:13] but that's now how things stand now [14:13] now=not === jduggan is now known as NEO- === NEO- is now known as jduggan [14:49] Hi 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. Can someone help talk me throught the process of setting it up? [15:14] you just looking for advice on how to use it in general? [15:15] any way to get sound in the flash player on mythweb? [15:15] i've seen several threads on that in the forums. might try searching there [15:25] i did. no resolutions on any of them. [15:26] hmm... not sure then, sorry. just remember seeing a lot of people asking that there [15:28] does it work for you? [15:28] i honestly haven't tried it yet [15:28] well... get on it! =) [15:28] heh [15:29] i switched from knoppmyth to mythbuntu, and am liking it hella better. [15:29] 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. [15:30] http://www.mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes [15:31] hehe, right [15:31] thanx [15:31] np [15:39] ok google tells me that vnc4server is broken on hardy [15:39] can you recommend a replacement? [15:55] hrm... sorry, no. i just knew about that issue during the upgrade [15:55] try asking in the forums? [15:57] 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 mcc [16:02] not much else i can tell ya. just user myself too :) [16:14] I had a weird experience. I installed Mythbuntu 8.04 on a new system, and it was really sow. [16:14] I mean, it would take like 3 seconds going between menus. [16:14] ("slow" not "sow") [16:15] I then installed 7.10 and it was zippy. [16:15] Then I upgraded to 8.04, and it is still zippy. [16:15] :( [16:15] I mean, glad it's responsive, but... :-P [16:23] grr [16:23] i turned off the screen saver. my screen still goes black after a few minutes. [16:26] I ran a script running "xset s off" in a loop on my last MythTV box for that reason. [16:27] Not a perfect solution, but at least the screen stayed on. [16:29] cal_: install gnome_power_management [16:29] then go to the screensaver settings and set it to never turn off [16:29] pdragon: but i did that in the control panel already [16:30] pdragon: and i dont use gnome i use xfce [16:30] you turned the screen saver off, but not the monitor power saver [16:30] right, it just installs a power management option in the screen saver menu [16:30] it won't install gnome [16:30] easier than trying to find the setting in a config file somewhere [16:31] so there are two screen blanking processes running. dooooooooh!!! [16:31] yep :) [16:31] thats bug imo [16:31] chmod a-x gnome-screensaver [16:32] yeah, not sure where the bug really lies though, with xfce not having monitor power management or that package not being installed [16:33] if you just install xubuntu, it has the same issue [16:33] heh [16:34] i still like it a lot better than knoppmyth [16:34] ls [17:11] Hi, 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. [17:12] This is what happens: http://pastebin.ca/1001436 [17:12] any ideas? [17:14] yeah i had the same issue [17:14] i gave up and wiped the database and started fresh [17:16] why are you running mythtv setup as root [17:21] not sure [17:21] it wasn't working without root, so i figured i'll try with root [17:21] cal_: how did you wipe the database, i'm almost ready to just do that === bronson_ is now known as hobot [18:14] why the hell doesnt mythtv pick up my channels when i import an sql dump from my previous install [18:21] famicom: I am having database problems too. Did you upgrade? I just upgraded and now my mythfrontend won't run becuase my DB isn't upgraded === MythbuntuGuest15 is now known as GreggNJ [18:28] nah, same transponder bs [18:29] Good 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 authenitated [18:29] also, for the storage directories, what permissions shoudl they have for myth to read and write from them [18:29] i also noticed the mythtv group is not created like it was in 7.10..should i make this group manually? [18:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/221532 [18:31] that's how to fix the broken mythweb [18:31] groups need to have user & group read/write permissions for the mythtv user/group [18:31] storage groups i mean [18:32] not sure why the mythtv group isn't there anymore [18:32] ok 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? [18:33] if the mythtv group is not there can i make it manually? [18:33] GreggNJ yeah [18:33] offcourse [18:33] this password is for the database access, not your login/password to access mythweb [18:34] pdragon just reset your mysql root pass and try again [18:34] check etc/mythtv [18:34] that's not the root password [18:34] that's the mythtv mysql user password [18:35] famicom: 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 recordings [18:35] it's a bug that several people have run into now when updating the mythweb package [18:35] when you create the recording schedule, there's an option to choose which storage group you want [18:35] pdragon: ahh ok, i see...thanks a bunch, will have to give it a shot after work [18:36] pdragon: awesome thanks...haven't gotten that far into the whole process yet [18:36] personally, i just set the default storage group and that's where all my recordings go [18:36] but if you want different recordings to go in different places, that's where you'd set it [18:37] sorry 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 loop [18:37] by default there's a LiveTV group you can set and livetv will automatically go there [18:37] and the other "Default" storage group will be where scheduled recordings go unless you tell it differently [18:37] pdragon: great, thanks. i have multiple drives so i have one for livetv and default and a large drives for the scheduled recordings [18:37] Does anyone know what to do if my DB keeps failing to upgrade? [18:38] GreggNJ: It looks like it's going in a loop, but it isn't [18:38] if you look closely you can see the dates it's downloading are different. just let it go [18:38] ahh ok..so it will eventually finsih and close the terminal window? [18:39] GreggNJ: You'll want to set one of your drives as the LiveTV group and the other large drive as the Default group then [18:39] pdragon: thanks for the tip, i will edit that later tonite [18:39] all the storage group needs is a full path, so just make sure the drives are mounted where you want them to be [18:40] hansoffate: i'm not sure, sorry. try the forum if no one else here can help [18:40] k, thanks [18:42] pdragon: yup they are mounted and entered into fstab [19:06] tgm4883_laptop: are you there/do you have some time? [19:10] Hi all, got a problem with VNC, trying to configure from mythbuntu-control-centre freezes the app, i can connect to vnc but as soon as i press a button on mouse or a key i get disconnected and xserver resets [19:27] hansoffate, maybe [19:27] <- in class [19:28] ah, i see. Well if you have sometime check out my problem. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4835172#post4835172 [19:28] basically, it looks like my DB is corrupt or something, because it doesn't want to upgrade. [19:29] any ideas? [19:31] anyone have a clue to my vnc problem? [19:33] Rimers: I kinda had a problem like that, but all I needed to do was restart the computer. I'm guessing you already tried that. [19:35] the problem has been there for a week or more now, so the computer have been off / restartet a few times [19:36] Rimers, sounds like you are trying to connect to a hardy vnc from a gutsy vnc [19:37] err, gutsy vnc client [19:37] im using an XP to connect to my MythBuntu install , its a hardy (upgraded from gusty) [19:38] an XP install with RealVNC viewer [19:48] I need some help installing the latest cvs from lirc on a brand new installation of mythbuntu [19:49] I never got my head around installing from cvs when the package is already installed on my system [19:49] removing lirc removes other stuff [19:50] ARGH! my lirc remote keeps on changing from event5 to event2 [19:50] and then back again [19:50] i'm looking for a few pointers on frontend installs for 8.04 / mythbuntu [19:50] 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 control [19:51] I have a couple of frontends built that are flash disk boot to NFS / drives .. seem to be functioning well [19:51] it has only started doing this since I upgraded to 8.04 [19:51] right now only CLI with the mini-iso install from 8.04 LTS [19:52] is there one package that i can command line install (mythbuntu .. ?) that will build up the minimum front end software? [19:52] or do I need to go ahead and install ubuntu-desktop first. [19:53] the systems will be mythtv specific, with no other functions. [19:53] please anyone help me make a deb to replace the lirc version that came with 8.04 [19:56] sabhain, there is a mythbuntu cd that you can do frontend only installations [19:59] tgm4883_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. [20:00] why should it be such a mess to create a replacement deb or update the existing package with cvs [20:04] can someone send me the sources.conf of a 8.04 mythbuntu? [20:04] tgm4883_laptop: got any ideas on my issue? [20:12] sabhain, you might be able to get either the mcc package or just mythtv frontend package, not sure what dependencies those will pull in though [20:12] you can also go diskless too [20:14] tgm4883_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. [20:15] I didn't want to play around with diskless .. since I don't want to alter my existing DHCP setup. [20:15] ah [20:15] so I've got a small 2GB CF card on IDE that has my /boot stuff .. and it mounts NFS right away [20:15] I just had to add a simple line to my dhcp server in order for it to work [20:15] helps that I use ddwrt [20:16] then everything else (/) resides on an NFS server that is also the primary backend [20:16] it seems pretty good so far. Lots of RAM so swap isn't an issue .. [20:16] and it will end up being standard front end install .. not diskless [20:17] sounds good. just FYI, AFAIK, diskless frontend can do the same as a regular frontend (well except boot without the network) [20:17] I have my DHCP on a router .. so no ability to pass the PXE image stuff directly that way .. [20:17] sabhain, mine too. A wrt-54gs running ddwrt [20:18] I'm sure it can .. I'm just wary about the extra setup stuff .. seems really easy to do standard FE [20:19] anyone used DKMS before? [20:19] not in a long time [20:20] I used it in about 2002 with my inspiron 5100 and fedora [20:20] tgm4883_laptop: I'll look into ddwrt .. thanks for the lead .. I just have out of the box router at the moment [21:04] Hello 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 use [21:05] its on mythweb-video [21:05] can someone help me, please? [21:10] hmm, I upgraded to latest mythbuntu and I have to start x11vnc manually. shouldn't it be startet automatically? [21:10] chairman, vnc changed between 7.10 and 8.04. Did you re set it up? [21:10] yes [21:11] or what do you mean with re set it up? [21:11] I startet the myth-control-panel [21:11] and turned it on again and inserted a password [21:24] ok error found the syslink at mythweb/data folder was frong.. from covers and video [21:24] i have a other question in mythweb is a ftp server, but where can i edit the folder and with username can logged in? [21:28] can nobody help me? :( [21:29] MythbuntuGuest01: don't understand what you're asking [21:31] in mythbuntu is integrated a ftp server? [21:34] not that i'm aware of [21:34] mythweb runs from apache [21:35] oh ok i've wrong. can you say me a good ftpserver easy to config pherhaps with a user interface? [21:37] proftpd is a pretty popular one. don't know if it really has a gui interface though [21:38] * tgm4883_laptop isn't a fan of ftp [21:38] ok thanks i try to install [21:39] its transer faster as samba [21:40] what do you need to transfer to your mythtv box so much? [21:40] use scp [21:40] you can also use ssh or scp to transfer files [21:40] i believer ssh server is installed by default [21:41] the mythtv pc cant record tv films because its not good enough. and then i record it with wini visa and than transfer to samba. [21:42] and look on mythtv the films... and the hd of mythtv pc isnt big, too. also i must transfer films offen [21:42] samba and ftp is the easyest way that i know [21:43] you're recording on an windows vista computer? [21:44] yes [21:44] you can use WinSCP or FileZilla to transfer files from the windows computer over scp [21:44] i dont know these programs [21:44] FileZilla is an FTP program [21:45] it can do SSH file transfers, also [21:45] http://filezilla-project.org/ [21:45] ssh is good, but at lan i think it hafe a lower bandwigth [21:46] it's not any slower than FTP over a lan [21:46] not anything you'd even notice anyway [21:47] is ith easy to install? [21:47] not any harder than any other windows program [21:48] just tell it your doing SSH over FTP for the connection type [21:48] in win okay, but at mythbuntu? [21:48] SSH server is already installed on mythbuntu [21:49] ah ok greate [21:50] with frotocol is it on winscp? [21:50] scp :) [21:51] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_copy [21:52] a perferkt connected. and verey easy, i thry to send a file [21:55] oh 800KB/s slow [21:57] whats from do you know? [21:57] now 540KB/s === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [22:00] i ssh files between my computers at home and get full 100base speed. dunno what's going on for you [22:01] Please anyone .. im really desperate to setup ubuntu-mythtv [22:02] my luck :( [22:03] just trying to get it installed or what? [22:06] hello! [22:06] a [22:06] neopsyche: just trying to get it installed or what? [22:07] .name [22:07] mh i've restarted but the same speed :( [22:07] pdragon: not sure where to start.. i installed some stuff from the repos [22:07] Can anyone assist me in installing the diskless service? [22:07] have backend [22:07] not sure what the frontend "is" it says something about a database needing to be setup [22:07] also i am watching TV on XAWTV it works .. so i guess it can work with myth tv also [22:08] never used xawtv [22:09] you installed mythtv on an existing ubuntu desktop already? [22:09] MythbuntuGuest87, what is the problem? [22:10] I installed the diskless service however none of the computers on the network will boot from it [22:10] MythbuntuGuest87, did you set up your dhcp server? [22:11] I 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 everything [22:11] unless I missed configureing something. [22:12] MythbuntuGuest87, you can configure ddwrt to do it [22:12] I did on mine [22:12] sec [22:13] neopsyche: 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 afterwards [22:13] MythbuntuGuest87, this thread helped me http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4662&highlight=pxe [22:13] I'll be home in about 2 hours, I can look at my config then [22:13] I looked at that and it didn't work out for me [22:14] I think it is because I dont know how to make: dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.1 work on my system [22:14] i changed the IP to my IP on the backend [22:24] yea thats wrong [22:24] sec [22:24] maybe i can login from here [22:24] hmm, apparently not [22:26] do somebody know, that work a ato readon 7000 ve and tv out with mythbuntu 8.04? or have a how to for me? [22:27] If i followed that thread for the DD-WRT then do i need the DHCP service installed for the diskless botting? [22:27] booting* [22:27] no [22:28] :( because updating from 7.10 dont work it will be abordet to the end and say, you system ma be a dont work.. and than it dont work :( [22:29] and please report this bug.... [22:31] ok i must go know bye bye and thanks for oyur help... [22:33] hmmm... I must be missing something here with this diskless booting [22:34] Is there a list of capture cards that are known to work / not work, with mythbuntu? a wiki page maybe? [22:34] MythbuntuGuest92, i'll post how mine is setup when I get home [22:35] I believe the problem is that you don't have the location of the image in there [22:35] I made the image using the Mythbuntu control center [22:35] do I need to do anything beyond there? Or where should I move it to? [22:37] MythbuntuGuest95, are you the.fubz on the forums? [22:38] yes. I cant figure out how to change my name in IRC =p [22:38] MythbuntuGuest95, your image is fine where it is. It's the config in ddwrt that you need to tweak [22:38] /nick name [22:38] faf [22:38] doesn't seem to work... maybe it's because im using the web IRC client [22:38] I'll answer your question when I get home. Then I can post my config line and you will be setup === MythbuntuGuest95 is now known as fubz [22:39] looks like it works to me [22:39] Ok thank you tgm4883. Do you know about how long untill you are home so i can come back to check? [22:40] probably about 1 hour 20 minutes [22:40] alright. [22:40] I get out of class in 40 minutes, and have 1 stop to make [22:41] diskless questions anyone? [22:41] fubz, you still there [22:42] fubz: ah, you also posted on the forums [22:42] yep [22:42] he uses ddwrt which is what i use [22:43] yes im here [22:43] laga, he's here [22:43] this is his config line dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.1 [22:43] let me log into my openwrt [22:43] dhcp-boot=ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,prometheus,192.168.0.137 [22:43] fubz, laga = diskless god [22:44] tgm4883_laptop: ha! [22:44] only problem is that he is from germany :/ [22:44] laga, what is prometheus again? [22:44] ya [22:44] same question =p [22:45] fubz, it's either his backend or frontend [22:45] i think backend [22:45] hostname [22:45] but IIRC, it isn't needed [22:45] it's the host name of the server where the tftpd resides [22:45] ik forgot what those fields mean and i dont have the dnasmasq.conf documentation handy [22:45] dhcp-boot=ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.1 [22:45] If 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=774442 [22:46] fubz, this should work dhcp-boot=ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0,,192.168.230.1 [22:46] laga: i just realized it was you that posted to me originally [22:47] does "Apply Settings" work in DD-WRT or should I reboot it? [22:47] err, i belive it wors [22:47] what version? [22:48] hansoffate: 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) [22:49] laga: i tried the repair and optimize button thorugh the Control Centre [22:49] Still getting no boot.... no error messages either. Not that i know if they would even appear. [22:49] fubz: read my reply to your thread in the forums :) [22:51] Ya 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" [22:52] fubz: what version of the control centre do you have now? [22:52] laga: is there anyway to just blowout the DB and then upgrade? [22:53] 0.27-0ubuntu1 [22:53] fubz: you need 0.28 [22:53] umm... hmmm.... package manager says that the 0.27 is the latest [22:54] fubz: 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 :/ [22:55] haha, don't hate me... but.... how do I do that? [22:55] hansoffate: 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] fubz: i'll hate you while i find out the easiest way, brb [22:57] laga: 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 again [22:57] does that mean all my saved settings as well... basically anything that has to do with myth? [22:57] or just my recorded programs info, watched, deleted, EPG, etc? [22:58] hansoffate: yes. except for minor stuff like your lircrc. you can keep the recordings, but you'll have to re-import then [22:58] hansoffate: there should be a database backup somewhere (don't remember where exactly), maybe that'll work better once restored [22:59] god, the ubuntu wiki drives me nuts sometimes [23:00] fubz: do you mind editing configuration files? ,) [23:00] laga, he can do it in synaptic [23:00] I would love to [23:00] oh. [23:01] tgm4883_laptop: then you explain it to him [23:01] i don't use the gUI apps often [23:01] laga: thanks for all the info. I couldn't find the DB backup. [23:02] hansoffate: i'll try to find out where it lives [23:03] fubz, are you familiar with synaptic? [23:03] i have installed a few thigns from it if that counts [23:03] that works [23:03] open it up [23:04] hansoffate: /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database [23:04] on the top click "settings" then "repositories" [23:04] take a look at that file :) it'll tell you where to find the backups [23:04] fubz, then on the third tab of the window that pops up, check the box next to proposed [23:04] alright, i'll take a look. thanks laga [23:05] =D there it is! THANKS! [23:05] lets see if it works though.... [23:05] then just click close on that window, then reload in synaptic [23:05] heh :) [23:05] fubz: if something breaks, let me know in the forums so we can fix it. [23:05] i'm off to watch some mythtv [23:05] Oh i will [23:05] lucky you =p [23:06] I cant get that far yet [23:06] i envy you laga [23:07] lol yesterday before i upgraded to 8.04, I came in here and asked if there would be a problem, because somehow whenever i upgrade, something breaks. I eventually just did it, and my mythfrontend didn't work. [23:08] not having the frontend sucks, I always have musik playing through it. if not, i'm watching tv. [23:09] I've gotten so used to having mythtv, I cant watch live tv anymore. [23:10] While im here, anyone reccomend a remote that will be easy to setup and work? [23:10] MCEUSB2 [23:10] Seconded [23:11] yea get the windows media center remote [23:11] it's awesome [23:12] greetings all! [23:12] laga, are you herE? [23:12] when im trying to drop mysql database, it keeps giving me access denied when im logged in as myself, or if i do it with sudo [23:12] MythbuntuGuest13: he just went to watch some tv [23:12] is it this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100851&Tpk=media%2bcenter%2bremote === MythbuntuGuest13 is now known as MitoFromWork [23:13] fubz, yes [23:13] Ok sweet =) can't wait to get it [23:14] yea [23:14] well new control center didn't help at all [23:15] tgm4883_laptop: I am having troulbe dropping mysql database with "mysql -u mythtv -p" [23:15] it gives me "ERROR 1045 (28000): access denied for user 'hansoffate@localhost' (using password: yes) [23:16] do you have to be the mythtv user? [23:16] or whatever the username is for the database [23:17] errr it said 'mythtv@localhost' i realized the first time i had syntax wrong [23:17] but i still get it when i try to use the mythtv login [23:18] I think i remember the mysql password being randomly generated. I don't remember what it was. I just used my login password [23:20] Well not sure what to do, but i updated my post on the forum, hopefully laga will be back one day to solve this mystery [23:22] wheres your post? [23:24] found it, nice you got a dd-wrt router. i've been meaning to put the firmware on mine [23:24] i had one before, but i gave it to a friend when I got a new wirless N router [23:37] hey all [23:37] any devs around? [23:38] superm1: you here?
