NikasSo.. i have this problem with Mythbuntu 8.04 freezing. I have upgraded from 7.10 and had not this problem before. I have now isolated the problem. The system freezes when running mythcommflag.00:10
Nikasi have IDE-disks (E-IDE) that was recognized as hd* in 7.10 and some IDE-driver was used. In 8.04 some scsi-driver are used and the drives have changed names to sd*. Can this have something to do with commflag failing. Feels like intensive work makes the system freeze.00:12
MythbuntuGuest60Hi Any advice on how to keep my tv tuner cards from changing the order they load in?00:43
toorimaMythbuntuGuest60: blacklist moduels and then add them to /etc/modules00:45
toorimaNikas: mythbuntu uses uuid to locate disks so shouldnt mather that it changed from hd to sd but look in /etc/fstab to make sure00:46
Nikastoorima: I know.. :) The thing is that 8.04 is using other drivers00:46
Nikas7.10 -> IDE 8.10 -> SCSI-device00:47
Nikascomplete different stuff in dmesg in regard to the drives in 7.10 and 8.0400:47
toorimayes but when it comes to locating the disks its whats in fstab that mathers isnt it?00:48
Nikastoorima: no.. it does not matter but thats not the problem :)00:49
Nikasi only uses uuids in fstab00:49
Nikasuse00:49
toorimak00:49
Nikassomething makes my system freeze when running mythcommflag00:49
Nikasso.. i wounder if it could have something to do with how 8.04 handles my IDE-drives.00:50
Nikaswonder00:51
tgm4883_laptopNikas IIRC that is because of the new version of libata00:51
Nikashm..00:51
Nikasi have disabled mythcommflag for now.. i really dont want to go back to 7.10 because of this ;)00:53
Nikasconsole-kit-dae[5156]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7e79307 esp bfc81244 error 400:58
Nikaswhats that?00:58
MythbuntuGuest60hey toorima, i see a bunch of forum chatter about blacklisting not working in gutsy. was this fixed in hardy?01:18
toorimaMythbuntuGuest60: i blacklisted in gutsy for my pchdtv5500 and pvr150 just installed hardy yesterday but doesnt seem like i have to do it now01:25
toorimaguess time will tell tho01:25
MythbuntuGuest43I guess I'm not doing this right then, I blacklisted ivtv and bttv then added them in the order i want them to load to /etc/modules01:41
SoulBladecan someone help me with an audio problem?  i get an error regarding pulseaudipo01:50
SoulBladei was working earlier which is weird01:51
SoulBladeand now.. not so much01:51
SoulBladebut if i do a lsof | grep /dev/snd i get nothing - google says i should have mixer_app? or is that incorrect w/ hardy01:51
=== CME- is now known as CME
DueyI'm trying to load the ATI/Nvidia X10 RF (kernel) driver through the MCC.  If daemon.log shows "lircd(userspace) ready02:30
Duey", does that mean it's loading the userspace driver instead?02:31
MythbuntuGuest56evening03:09
MythbuntuGuest56I am having some issues getting my xorg modeline correct for my TV03:12
MythbuntuGuest56Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction03:12
ATLPeterPCould anyone help me troubleshoot an xorg issue with my Mythbuntu box? I have the entire thing set up except for the minor detail of actually displaying video on my tv!04:04
pdragonTried setting the TV-Out option in the Control Center?04:09
ATLPeterPno04:12
pdragonknow how to get to the Mythbuntu Control Center?04:13
ATLPeterPsort of04:13
ATLPeterPI am connected via VGA, though04:13
ATLPeterPI should back up a bit. I have had this setup working under vanilla mythtv on fedora core04:13
ATLPeterPBack in the day04:13
ATLPeterPThe stock xorg.conf did not work04:13
ATLPeterPSo I copy/pasted my old one in04:14
ATLPeterPBut I am new to mythbuntu, so its possible I am just flailing around like an idiot04:14
ATLPeterP;-)04:14
pdragonhmm... i'm not sure then. did you install from scratch?04:14
ATLPeterPyeah, from 8.04 beta, upgraded to release a couple days ago04:15
pdragonwhat kind of video card do you have in there now?04:15
ATLPeterPRadeon 8500 LE04:15
pdragonI'm not sure on ATI cards myself. I know people have still been having trouble with some models04:15
ATLPeterPThe splash screen looks fine, if that means anything04:15
pdragonit goes blank after that then tho?04:15
ATLPeterPwell, garbled04:16
ATLPeterPtheres stuff going on there, but the modeline is obviously very wrong04:16
pdragonwell, i know on my Nvidia card, when I first install it, if i want any video after the spash screen, I have to boot in safe graphics mode04:16
pdragonwhen it's plugged into the TV04:16
ATLPeterPhrmm04:17
pdragoni then choose the video driver during install and set the TV out04:17
pdragonand then it works fine after reboot04:17
ATLPeterPhow are you connected to the TV?04:17
pdragonbut, if you can get to the MCC now, you should be able to do that stuff04:17
pdragonWas Svideo at first then i got a better card and now it's component04:17
ATLPeterPHrmm04:17
ATLPeterPWell04:17
ATLPeterPI think I can try booting off the mythbuntu disc and get the MCC from there04:18
ATLPeterPmaybe?04:18
pdragonthat won't run the MCC on your hard drive tho, that would run the LiveCD MCC04:18
Dueyhave you enabled the VNC service?04:19
ATLPeterPyeah04:19
pdragonoh yeah... i always forget about that cause i don't use it :p04:19
Dueyyou could use VNC to control the PVR04:19
ATLPeterPyeah04:20
ATLPeterPhaha04:20
Dueyoh, nm04:20
ATLPeterPI forgot about it too!04:20
ATLPeterPwhere is that option in MCC?04:20
Dueyservices I think04:20
ATLPeterPk04:21
MythbuntuGuest35Hey I don't know if there are any developers or administrators in here, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone04:21
MythbuntuGuest35This is an amazing distro and -- EXACTLY -- what I was looking for04:21
DueyATLPeterP: "System Services" to be more exact04:21
MythbuntuGuest35All the beauty of ubuntu, brought to the pain and headache that is MythTV, you guys have done a great job04:22
pdragonMythbuntuGuest35: they're lurking around :)04:22
ATLPeterPDuey - Sorry, I meant the TV Out. VNC is enabled04:22
MythbuntuGuest35anyway, thanks for making it so easy04:22
MythbuntuGuest35I'm out!04:22
DueyATLPeterP: oooh, hmmm, I'm actually wondering about that too, heh04:23
pdragonI can't get to it now. Check the Restricted Drivers section04:23
pdragonnot sure if that's what it's called04:23
ATLPeterPk04:24
ATLPeterPno love. I'm just using the radeon driver04:24
ATLPeterPSo I'm not sure I even have that option04:25
Dueythere's an option for the ATI control center in there, I think04:25
pdragonoh... hmm... looks like that option for choosing TV-Out that I was thinking of it only there in the initial install04:26
pdragonyeah, the ATI control center would be your best bet. otherwise, need to find the xorg.conf settings to do it04:26
ATLPeterPbla04:27
ATLPeterPWell worst case I can try and reinstall the thing04:27
DueyOr possibly the Launch Xorg Config in Proprietary Drivers04:27
DueyATLPeterP: or try uninstalling your video drivers?  When I did that, it came back up on my monitor04:28
ATLPeterPhow did you do that? just blow away the xorg.conf?04:29
ATLPeterPor apt-get uninstall mesa04:29
DueyWell, actually, I did mine through the Proprietary Drivers dialog, but either that or Synaptic04:30
ATLPeterPahh04:30
ATLPeterPI'm not using proprietary drivers04:30
ATLPeterPthe open source radeon stack04:30
Dueyoh, I'm using nvidia04:31
ATLPeterPI'm this close to just going out and buying a newer agp nvidia card04:31
ATLPeterPSeems to work much nicer04:31
pdragonmight try asking on the forums04:31
pdragonmore people frequent there04:31
Dueyoddly enough, even though I have an nvidia 6200, when I use the "new" drivers (which Proprietary Drivers installs), mythfrontend and mythtv-setup don't work04:31
ATLPeterPyeah?04:33
ATLPeterP*sigh*04:33
ATLPeterPnothing is ever easy04:34
Dueyya04:34
pdragonwhat does work?04:34
Dueypdragon: are you asking me?  using the regular nvidia drivers work04:34
Dueymy ati remote wonder is not working for some weird reason04:35
pdragonyeah04:36
pdragonok. that's what i thought would work, was just wondering04:36
da4n1anyone know how to get mplayer-rar.pl to work?04:46
DueyATLPeterP: I just found this article:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Proprietary_Driver#Attaching_a_computer_monitor  says there's a couple lines you can change to enable/disable TV out in Xorg.conf04:47
ATLPeterPawesome04:52
ATLPeterPlemme read through04:52
ATLPeterPhrmm05:09
ATLPeterPyeah, it looks like I might be able to hook up an svideo cable and get it to work that way05:10
ATLPeterPwell thanks for your help Duey and pdragon05:13
ATLPeterPHopefully I'll figure it out tomorrow05:13
toorimaanyone have a solution to why xorg takes 100% cpu? totaly freezes my machine09:01

Dueyoh, if it's 8.whatever, it's the new one15:01

Zagro8.02somthing i THINK and it's from the windows installer (file on HD) duel booted but without all the repartitions15:02
Dueyok15:02
Zagrooh this is a fresh boot :) from after all the installing15:02
Zagrofunnything is all this mucking with the tv card fixed my webcam :p15:02

Zagrook15:04
Zagroif you can point me twards a vncish thing i'd be GLAD to let you take a look and i have skype15:04
Zagroi'm not a dunce just out of my elemint15:04
Zagro:p15:04
Zagrovista made me do it15:04
Dueyhmmm, looks like there are a few more things you need, are you comfortable with the command line?15:05
Dueyhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_IVTV_Feisty    ....this is for 7.10, but should work for what you have15:06
Zagroben around since dos 3.215:06
DueyThere's an ivtv-tune program that you'd have to use to switch channels15:06
Zagrook whats difrint with Feisty cus i've got the itv sorce and a few others it installed with the packige maniger15:07
Dueymostly versions of programs...but, the apt-get commands should work15:08
Dueyjust basically use the package manager to install stuff, you shouldn't need the sources unless you need to recompile15:09
Zagroi did15:09
Zagroi had to fark with the card's fermware to fix it in vista15:09
Zagroso i had to UN fark it to work here15:09
Dueyok15:09
Zagroyes i have the utils15:11
Zagrolets see if i can find them now :p15:11
Dueyshould be available via commandline right away15:12
wayneandleannehi all, i think my mythtv setup is missing some files, where can i get "mc.sql" from15:13
Dueyhttp://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Ivtv-tune  here's a site with info on the options for ivtv-tune, to make it a bit easier15:14
Dueywayneandleanne: on my system it's at /usr/share/mythtv/sql/mc.sql15:15
Zagroall this just so i can get a video window off to the side ;p15:15
Zagrohehe15:15
DueyZagro: or you could just install Mythtv  :P15:16
Zagroit loads to much extra junk15:17
Zagroleast all i've seen it's a full blown media center and nothing els15:17
Dueyat least it's useful junk15:17
Dueywell, ya, but if you mean the plugins, you don't need to install those15:17
wayneandleanneduey: got it, i downloaded the source from mythtv.org, unpacked and away i go, cheers anyway15:19
Zagrook frankly i'm nervous about putting in such a vast app bymyself after i spent all this time just getting TTS sound the right video drivers messengers secondlife exct working15:20
wayneandleannehmmm, i still get errors about not being able to connect to database15:20
Zagroi'd try it but it spooks me15:20
SolarbabyJust dump everything to a spare hard drive15:20
Solarbabythats easy enough15:20
Solarbabybackups are essential and I dont understand why people dont think ahead?15:20
wayneandleannecan somebody give me somepointers to getting mythtv running on kubuntu 8.04, please15:21
Solarbabybtw you could use Norton Ghost for making a duplicate hard drive, but I fully recommend getting a program called Acronis Backup-Restore Boot CD..  it happens to be the best backup software I've ever used15:22
Zagronaa all i gota do is copy one file15:25
Zagroit's 15gig tho :/15:25
Zagro:p15:25
DueyZargo: have you tried using the package manager?15:26
Zagrofor what?15:26
Zagromyth15:26
Zagro?15:26
Dueyyes15:26
Zagrolast time i tried it the forminchend file poofed but it wasnt myth it was ksay :p15:27

Zagrobaaa buger it15:28
Zagrowhat parts of myth do i need let me clean up these windows.......15:28
Zagrook i'm in synaptic15:29
Dueyif you're using the package manager, if you install "mythtv" it will add the required files, otherwise, hmmmm, not sure which parts except for mythfrontend and mythbackend15:29
Dueyya, just install the mythtv package15:30
Zagroi have synaptic software sorces and the add/remove (wich dosnt have myth in it)15:30
Dueywhen you do mythtv, it'll add the other packages it requires15:31
Zagrook i've got one hell of a list here and none just say myth tv packige15:32
Dueyif it's sorted by Package Name, just scroll down to the "mythtv" entry15:32
Zagrofound it downloading15:33
Dueyafter it installs it should take you through the setup15:33
Zagroit unchecked libshw and libldap15:34
Dueyhmmmm, I don't recognize those, do you need them?15:35

majoridiotgregL, put them in whatever folder mythvideo is config'd to look in18:49
tgm4883_laptopZagro, have you ever had this setup and working before?18:49
Zagronope18:50

Zagrofrankly if i could figure out the string to get it to use svideo that's all i need :p18:51
tgm4883_laptopZagro, did you setup a lineup and bind that to an input?18:51
gregLOk...my bad i didn't look at the configuration ...It never ocurred to me, i thought it had a specific folder...thanks..18:51
majoridiotZagro, do you have a schedulesdirect line-up set up in backend step 3 and did you bind and fetch channels in step 4?18:51
Zagrono lineup18:53
Zagronot sure about bind/fetch thing18:53
majoridiotyou MUST have a lineup18:54
tgm4883_laptopIIRC, you have to at the very least setup the bind/config18:54
majoridiotand those channels must be bound to the tuner18:54
ZagroOOOK found step 4 :p i feel silly18:57
majoridiothehe18:57
Zagrono grabber persay but i didnt setup the inputs18:57
Zagroi saw a list but didnt see the NONE :p selective reading18:58

MythbuntuGuest32I'm setting up a new system that is connected to cable TV. I've set up my account with Schedules Direct and have chosen a lineup from the website. When I use the channel scanner, it finds the appropriate channels, but it doesn't find the names for them. Is this a common issue? Is there an easy fix?22:00
majoridiotMythbuntuGuest32, what tuner are you using?22:04
MythbuntuGuest32PVR25022:04
MythbuntuGuest32(hauppauge)22:05
majoridiotyou do not "scan" for channels...22:05
majoridiotuse the "retrieve line-up" button22:05
majoridiot(or similar name)22:05
majoridiotthat will pull your SD line-up with the names and numbers22:05
MythbuntuGuest32should I delete the existing unnamed channels first?22:06
majoridioti would, yes.22:06
majoridioteasiest way...22:06
majoridiotjust delete the line-up in 322:06
majoridiotthen re-add it...22:06
majoridiotand do step 422:07
majoridiotdoing a retrieve instead of a scan22:07
MythbuntuGuest32Ok, I'll give that a try. Thanks very much!22:07
majoridiotholla back if you have probs.22:07
MythbuntuGuest32I was waiting for a mythfilldatabase to finsih while asking that question...just went back and the channel names are now there22:09
majoridiotah.. good.22:09
MythbuntuGuest32I know I had done both the retrieve line-up and used the channel scanner previously...doing mythfilldatabase must have been the missing piece22:09
majoridiotmight be ALL channels, not the ones you selected, tho... i'd check it.22:09
MythbuntuGuest32Downloading icons now :)22:09
MythbuntuGuest32I'll double check that it's got all the channels it should and no others22:10
majoridiotyes, no guide data at all without a mythfilldatabase22:10
majoridiotif you have extras...22:10
majoridiotyou can remove them in 5. channel editor22:10
MythbuntuGuest32seems like the channels/guide data are looking good now22:14
majoridiotvery good. :D22:15
MythbuntuGuest32next problem... :P I've got the grey remote that comes with the PVR250, but some (most) of the buttons aren't working22:15
MythbuntuGuest32I chose "Hauppauge TV Tuner" as the remote type22:15
MythbuntuGuest32the others looked like they were for other specific hauppauge models22:15
majoridiotis the receiver connected to the PVE or USB?22:15
MythbuntuGuest32PVR22:16
majoridiot^PVR22:16
MythbuntuGuest32up and down arrows work22:16
MythbuntuGuest32numbers work22:16
MythbuntuGuest32Ok seems to work sometimes22:16
majoridiotsec... lemme look22:16
majoridiotMythbuntuGuest32, what version are you running?22:17
majoridiotnevermind...22:18
majoridiotMythbuntuGuest32, in a terminal, run irw22:18
majoridiotsee if all of your buttons work22:18
majoridiotif so, you need to edit the .lircrc file in your home directory to define the buttons as you want them22:19
majoridiotthere's plenty of reference on how to do that in the forums22:19
MythbuntuGuest32gotcha, will look a little deeper there22:20
MythbuntuGuest32thanks for all of your help!22:20
=== MythbuntuGuest32 is now known as Cards
majoridiotif some work, you probably just need to edit .lircrc22:20
Cardsok22:20
CardsI wish there was an app that just said "push the up arrow", "push the pause button", etc until you had gone through every button22:21
Cardsthen it wouldn't matter what remote you were using22:21
bvidinli_hi22:22
Cardsthanks again, I might be back later22:27
majoridiotyw.  enjoy!22:27
