| ward1983 | i kindof killed my system, i would like to do a clean isntall and take the mythbuntu settings with me | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| ward1983 | is thqt possible? | 00:03 |
| tgm4883 | jarle, afaik, the sources.list should be the same between different architechures | 00:21 |
| psicobra | hi all i have a prblem when i boot mythbuntu on login i get an error our $HOME/.drmc file has incorrect permissions and is being ignored. This prevents the session from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. | 00:22 |
| psicobra | any ideas how to fix | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | psicobra, well first I would ask what the output of ls -l ~/.drmc is | 00:23 |
| psicobra | ls: cannot access /home/andy/.drmc: No such file or directory | 00:25 |
| psicobra | -rw-r--r-- 1 andy andy 29 2008-04-26 22:49 /home/andy/.dmrc | 00:26 |
| psicobra | tgm4883, i yped it wrong | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | psicobra, I assume that andy is the user? | 00:27 |
| tgm4883 | ... | 00:27 |
| psicobra | still didn't wotk every time i reboot it goes back to read only | 00:32 |
| tgm4883 | psicobra, it's currently has the correct permissions | 00:35 |

| swheatley | where can I find the config of the Ubuntu/Mythbuntu kernel for 8.04? | 03:21 |
| superm1 | /usr/src/`uname -r` | 03:22 |
| superm1 | or better yet | 03:22 |
| superm1 | /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ | 03:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hmmm does the resume/bookmark feature work with iso's in mythvideo? | 03:22 |
| superm1 | i wouldnt expect it to | 03:23 |
| swheatley | thanks superm1. I don't currently have the source installed and I want to build it as close to the stock kernel | 03:23 |
| superm1 | swheatley, dont need the source installed | 03:23 |
| superm1 | it comes in the headers package | 03:23 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | kinda figured superm1 | 03:23 |
| superm1 | which should be installed by default | 03:23 |
| swheatley | swheatley@pvr:~$ cd /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ | 03:24 |
| swheatley | -bash: cd: /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-16-generic/: No such file or directory | 03:24 |
| swheatley | swheatley@pvr:~$ cd /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ | 03:24 |
| swheatley | -bash: cd: /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-16-generic/: No such file or directory | 03:24 |
| superm1 | oh my bad | 03:24 |
| swheatley | crap, sorry for double pasting | 03:24 |
| superm1 | /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/ | 03:24 |
| superm1 | there is a file .config in there | 03:24 |
| superm1 | that is the config that is used | 03:24 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I wonder how happy my laptop would be if I hacked xorg to have a larger res | 03:24 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | not enough realestate here | 03:25 |
| swheatley | superm1: awesome, thanks! | 03:25 |
| swheatley | I'm trying to compile the kernel without the built-in v4l support | 03:25 |
| superm1 | no prob | 03:25 |
| superm1 | why? | 03:25 |
| swheatley | trying to get my PVR-950 USB tuners installed | 03:25 |
| superm1 | oh | 03:26 |
| superm1 | that forked driver | 03:26 |
| superm1 | bleh | 03:26 |
| swheatley | installing the em28xx-dvb drivers hoses my whole system | 03:26 |
| swheatley | yeah, I'm not a big fan :) | 03:26 |
| superm1 | i wish someone would properly fix that | 03:26 |
| superm1 | so it can join the v4l tree again | 03:26 |
| swheatley | you and me both | 03:26 |
| superm1 | well then honestly let me tell you the best solutin | 03:26 |
| superm1 | solution even | 03:26 |
| superm1 | apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic | 03:26 |
| superm1 | modify the config for your architecture | 03:27 |
| superm1 | bump the changelog | 03:27 |
| superm1 | and then debuild it | 03:27 |
| superm1 | you'll get a nice deb that won't be very different | 03:27 |
| superm1 | and that the ABI will still be valid etc | 03:27 |
| swheatley | when you say modify the config for my architecture, what do you mean? | 03:28 |
| superm1 | well the way those source packages work | 03:28 |
| superm1 | there are a collection of configs | 03:28 |
| superm1 | in debian/config i think | 03:28 |
| superm1 | for i386, amd64, lpia, etc | 03:29 |
| swheatley | ah ok | 03:29 |
| superm1 | then there are ways to force it to only build one of those architectures etc | 03:29 |
| swheatley | it's funny... I've been doing this for years, but not on a debian system | 03:30 |
| swheatley | I was a Gentoo guy previously | 03:30 |
| swheatley | but got tired of my system breaking if I didn't emerge on a daily basis | 03:30 |
| swheatley | so now I'm learning "the debian way" to do things | 03:31 |
| superm1 | yeah me too | 03:31 |
| superm1 | i came from gentoo 3 years back or so | 03:31 |
| superm1 | well this is something you can't hold up to ubuntu or debian's fault though ;) | 03:32 |
| swheatley | I still love their forums... always had tons of great info | 03:32 |
| swheatley | not that the ubuntu ones aren't great as well | 03:32 |
| swheatley | oh no! certainly not. | 03:32 |
| superm1 | there is a nice wiki page discussing rebuilding kernels actually | 03:32 |
| superm1 | let me see if i can come across it | 03:32 |
| swheatley | just trying to learn what the right way to rebuild the kernel is | 03:33 |
| swheatley | only ever installed a new binary image on any ubuntu box I've worked with | 03:33 |
| superm1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 03:33 |
| swheatley | nice, thnx | 03:33 |
| swheatley | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 03:33 |
| swheatley | ooops | 03:33 |
| superm1 | yeah follow that exactly | 03:33 |
| swheatley | apt-got the source | 03:41 |
| swheatley | but it's not in /usr/src like I expected | 03:41 |
| swheatley | I'm going back and following their instructions now, doing the build-dep step | 03:42 |
| swheatley | ah, it's in my home dir | 03:46 |
| swheatley | superm1: looks like v4l isn't compiled in, at least not in the config you pointed me to | 04:10 |
| swheatley | I guess I need to contact the driver maintainer | 04:10 |
| swheatley | thanks for all your help | 04:10 |
| mgpaulus | hello all. Anyone here also using an MVPMC device? | 04:51 |
| kees | superm1: actually, the configs are in /boot too | 07:15 |
| superm1 | kees, oh thanks. w/ an unintuitive name too, config-`uname -r` :). I could have sworn they were there too, but was looking for .config | 07:39 |
| lymz | hello | 08:16 |
| lymz | I'm having trouble getting the frontend of mythbuntu setup | 08:16 |
| lymz | first off it tells me "No UPnP backends found" | 08:17 |
| lymz | Then the Database Configuration 1/2 page comes up, and all the fields are populated (including the password) | 08:17 |
| lymz | for Database Configuration 2/2 I did enter any settings for custom identifier or enable database server wakeup | 08:18 |
| lymz | I did not* | 08:19 |
| lymz | when I hit enter it tells me "Cannot login to database?" | 08:19 |
| lymz | and kicks me back to the Database Configuration 1/2 page | 08:19 |
| lymz | I've tried searching the forums. I have mysql running and the password for the mythtv user is correct | 08:20 |
| lymz | any ideas on what could be wrong? | 08:20 |
| lymz | aha! it looks like my mythconverg database has not been setup | 08:44 |
| lymz | I went ahead and re-installed mythbuntu from CD (this time selecting install instead of live) | 09:05 |
| lymz | looks like I don't have that issue anymore | 09:05 |
| adc | hello, i've just installed mythbuntu 8.04 after restart my system stays waiting with the message "Loading, please wait" for quite a while and then it gets into a sort of shell saying initramfs and thats it. | 10:35 |
| adc | what could i do | 10:35 |
| wayneandleanne | anybody give me pointers to change where mtd dumps the output file? | 11:20 |
| scd_hu | hi all | 13:12 |
| bazzawill | hey | 13:12 |
| scd_hu | can i get some help about tv card/remote? | 13:12 |
| bazzawill | I can sure try | 13:13 |
| scd_hu | thank. I have a Pinnacle pctv50i and i cant get to work the remote. The riciever connected to the card. I was googled a lot, try howtos without succes | 13:15 |
| bazzawill | what system are you using? | 13:17 |
| Solarbaby | So I was browsing around the web for pre-made mythtv systems suitable for being in an entertainment system.. and I've got to say i wasn't impressed | 13:19 |
| scd_hu | mythbuntu 8.04 | 13:19 |
| Solarbaby | hardware wise it was expensive and nothing special | 13:19 |
| scd_hu | dmesg says:http://pastebin.com/d6bd98832 | 13:22 |
| bazzawill | looks like your remote has been used as a ir key board similar to a twinhan card I used to have there a a few options here | 13:26 |
| scd_hu | yes but i can't manage to work | 13:27 |
| bazzawill | one is to use it as is and reset keybindings using the command hexdump should confirm that keypresses from the remote are mapped to std kybrd presses | 13:27 |
| bazzawill | another option is to reconfigure lirc manually ie http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/mythtv-and-the-twinhan-remote.html | 13:28 |
| scd_hu | how can i test it? | 13:28 |
| bazzawill | run hexdump in a terminal then press buttons on the remote it should output to the terminal | 13:28 |
| bazzawill | honestly I have never really got into remotes I tend to stick to a wireless keyboard although I am thinking of switching to the mce remote which looks cool | 13:30 |
| scd_hu | hmmm its not in the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices | 13:31 |
| bazzawill | hmm ok looked similar dmesg so does how does the remote reciever plugin? | 13:33 |
| bazzawill | have you tried modprobe saa7134 pinnacle_remote=1 | 13:37 |
| scd_hu | nevermind i have two boxes and one display. the link above i think ok, but im not done now | 13:39 |
| scd_hu | the tvcard is in the other box of course :P | 13:42 |
| bazzawill | ah ic well then this would be a problem however the mce remote looks like a good option in that case | 13:45 |
| scd_hu | no succes :( | 13:52 |
| cmug | Hi | 13:53 |
| cmug | I upgraded 7.10 to 8.04 and now I have some problems with my Nvidia | 13:53 |
| hugolp | cmug: get to the queue | 14:04 |
| cmug | i'm there | 14:06 |
| hugolp | cmug: XD | 14:13 |
| hugolp | cmug: whats the problem? | 14:13 |
| cmug | well, I installed my 7.10 mythbuntu long ago, I got a nice nvidia 6200 something into it. Then I used the envy software to setup the nvidia drivers (brr), now I upgraded the system to 8.04 and my nvidia broke down. I uninstalled envy with --uninstall-all option, also dpkg -l | grep nvidia and uninstalled all those packages too but I am unable to get the proprietary driver to work again | 14:14 |
| cmug | linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic is the linux kernel | 14:15 |
| hugolp | cmug: I had problems with nvidia propietary drivers too and I installed Hardy clean | 14:15 |
| cmug | I don't want to go clean :( | 14:15 |
| hugolp | cmug: theres a thread in ubuntuforums.org about posible solutions | 14:15 |
| cmug | ok let me look them up | 14:16 |
| hugolp | cmug: no, I installed clean the first time and had problem anyways | 14:16 |
| hugolp | in my case, at some point they got solved, and I have no idea why | 14:16 |
| cmug | ok | 14:16 |
| cmug | I just booted to a older kernel, and am running apt-get purge on the latest version | 14:16 |
| cmug | I have the nvidia-new package installed, will reinstall the latest kernel too | 14:17 |
| cmug | and I keep getting this "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia | 14:22 |
| cmug | " when I run modprobe nvidia.. | 14:22 |
| hugolp | cmug: in the forums I remember people suggesting to completely remove envy and the drivers it installed | 14:23 |
| cmug | I did that | 14:24 |
| hugolp | cant help you | 14:24 |
| hugolp | then | 14:24 |
| cmug | np | 14:24 |
| cmug | wow I fixed it | 14:32 |
| cmug | now only if I can stop mythfrontend from respawning 1000 times a second | 14:33 |
| scd_hu | cmug: try to install | 14:59 |
| cmug | I got it fixed now | 14:59 |
| adc | hello after installing mythbuntu the backend setup asks me for a user, the default is mythtv but there is no mysql user mythtv, the installatin process gave me a password but dont know the username | 15:23 |
| Aval0n | hey guys I uninstalled ubuntu hardy's default package for mythtv so I could install 21-fixes from source.. | 16:35 |
| Aval0n | but now anytime I do anything with apt-get it says mysql is no longer needed | 16:35 |
| Aval0n | I would like to do a clean but I don't want it to wipe out mysql | 16:35 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: sudo apt-get install mysql | 16:38 |
| Aval0n | ok will that screw any of my databases? | 16:39 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 16:39 |
| hugolp | thats the correct | 16:39 |
| Aval0n | that's correct? | 16:40 |
| Aval0n | it WILL hose them?> | 16:40 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: if you have installed mysql from repos that will make the package mysql-server not a package that depends on another package but a package that you want installed on its onw | 16:40 |
| Aval0n | that's cool | 16:40 |
| Aval0n | but not at the expense of losing any pre-configured databases | 16:41 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: if the packet mysql-server its allredy installed it wont touch anything, it will just mark the package as installed on its own | 16:41 |
| Aval0n | ok | 16:42 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: if you want to be sure, check in synaptic (or whatever you want to use) what mysql-server package you have installed | 16:43 |
| hugolp | and sudo apt-get install that package | 16:43 |
| Aval0n | Removing nvidia-glx ... | 16:43 |
| Aval0n | dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so' with | 16:43 |
| Aval0n | different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core', not allowed | 16:43 |
| Aval0n | arrg wtf is it trying to remove glx for when I install mysql-server | 16:44 |
| Aval0n | is there a way to force remove nvidia-glx | 16:45 |
| Aval0n | I have a driver from nvidia.com installed anyway | 16:45 |
| Aval0n | not using that package either. | 16:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | this begs the question. Was there something you specifically needed from 21-fixes? | 16:46 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: yes, you can force a package to not be installed | 16:46 |
| Aval0n | how | 16:46 |
| hugolp | Aval0n: I dont know how to do it in apt-get, you can do it in synaptic | 16:47 |
| Aval0n | unfortunatly i'm relying on ssh atm | 16:48 |
| hugolp | Im sure apt-get can do it, check the help | 16:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Aval0n, ssh host -X -Y | 16:48 |
| Aval0n | have been | 16:48 |
| Aval0n | to a vista box tgm? | 16:48 |
| Aval0n | will that work? | 16:48 |
| hugolp | also, check if mysql-server is the package you have installed for the mysql server | 16:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Aval0n, was there something specifically that you needed from 21-fixes? | 16:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Aval0n, couldn't hurt to try? | 16:49 |
| Aval0n | tgm4883: lots | 16:49 |
| Aval0n | including a patch for skiploopfilter | 16:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well this seems like a lot of work for something that could be in the -fixes repo | 16:50 |
| Aval0n | i'de be fine if I could just get this darn nvidia-glx package off here | 16:50 |
| Aval0n | -fixes doesn't have the skiploopfilter patch | 16:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 16:50 |
| Aval0n | http://pastebin.org/34223 | 16:51 |
| Aval0n | any idea how to fix that? | 16:51 |
| Aval0n | heh | 16:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | nope | 16:52 |
| Aval0n | lol | 16:52 |
| Aval0n | that makes 2 of us | 16:52 |
| TelnetManta | anyone had problems with SATA hard disks in Hardy/Mythbuntu? | 17:50 |
| TelnetManta | I can seem to get a new partition created and formatted ext3 | 17:50 |
| ward1983 | is there a way to take over my mythbuntu settings? i killed my ubuntu so im gonna reinstall but i was hoping i could copy some files so that i dont have to setup mythbuntu again | 18:22 |
| deviantintegral | hi - simple question. I have an ubuntu box with freevo set up, but I want to look at mythbuntu. If I decide I don't like it, I can just remove mythbuntu-desktop? | 18:25 |
| ward1983 | anyone? its a bit urgent im working with the livecd now but i need to reinstall asap, i need my system | 18:28 |
| pdragon | i believe most settings are stored in the database | 18:33 |
| pdragon | not 100% sure, but that would be where i would look | 18:33 |
| ward1983 | pdragon: then ill just set it up again | 18:34 |
| ward1983 | i dunno anything about databases lol | 18:34 |
| ward1983 | anyway i cant wait any longer | 18:34 |
| ward1983 | need to install | 18:34 |
| ward1983 | byeybe | 18:34 |
| pdragon | if you install the phpmyadmin package you can get to it from http://your.ip.address/phpmyadmin | 18:35 |
| laga | pdragon: you here? i'm currently looking into the mythweb password problem | 19:11 |
| pdragon | yeah, but not fully. i'm at work so may be delayed in responding sometimes | 19:11 |
| laga | ah. you don't happen to have access to the box where mythweb is running right now? | 19:12 |
| pdragon | i do | 19:12 |
| pdragon | ssh and web | 19:12 |
| pdragon | not directly or vnc tho | 19:12 |
| laga | ssh will do. | 19:14 |
| laga | so, the problem was that the password in the mythweb config was different from what was in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 19:14 |
| pdragon | yes | 19:14 |
| pdragon | for me it happened after an update. seems it's happened for some people right at install too | 19:14 |
| laga | mythweb uses the password from the debconf database. can you run 'get echo mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password | debconf-communicate' to find out what password is in debconf? is it the correct one? | 19:15 |
| laga | of course, omit the single quotes :) | 19:15 |
| pdragon | that 'get' supposed to be there? i don't have that command | 19:20 |
| laga | duh, sorry :) | 19:20 |
| laga | echo get mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password | debconf-communicate | 19:20 |
| pdragon | getting permission denied errors. where's the right place to put sudo when piping things? | 19:21 |
| laga | the permission denied errors shouldn't matter.. isn't there some 'better' output in the last line? | 19:21 |
| pdragon | debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied | 19:23 |
| pdragon | 10 mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password doesn't exist | 19:23 |
| pdragon | that's the output | 19:23 |
| laga | odd. do you have mythtv-common installed? | 19:24 |
| pdragon | yes | 19:24 |
| laga | heh. doesn't work here either.. maybe that's the problem | 19:30 |
| laga | thanks | 19:30 |
| pdragon | np :) | 19:30 |
| cosmic | HI @ ALL | 19:37 |
| cosmic | Hey Guys , I have a problem ... I just installed Mythbuntu Hary (8.04) restarted as usual and everything seem to work fine just one of my DVB-T cards couldnt find any channels ... but frontend worked good , i installed some packages like ia386-libs and build-essentials, and so on . Then i copied my config files (like .lircrc / vsftpd.conf , and so on) and i restarted again to see if my rcS scripts will work fine ... but i couldnt watch | 19:44 |
| cosmic | t live tv anymore, i started mythtv-setup and tried to rescan channels but this time my first card didnt get any channels!?!?!?!?! Whats that ? the second thing ... for having lirc control i had to : cp lircrc to /home/cosmic/.lirc/mythtv after restart i had to do it again ?!?!?! | 19:44 |
| cosmic | Do i realy do everything wrong ? | 19:44 |
| cosmic | sorry for my englisch | 19:44 |
| agamotto | Anyone here good at sussing out wireless issues? | 20:37 |
| agamotto | I am having quite the problem with one of my mythboxes and getting it to connect with my wireless router | 20:40 |

| astra-1 | so mythbuntu 8.04 is pretty buggy? | 21:10 |
| astra-1 | is there a stable release? | 21:10 |
| astra-1 | it seems as if nothing works properly | 21:12 |
| astra-1 | such as mysql and configuration utilities | 21:13 |
| majoridiot | mysql works fine here | 21:14 |
| iamlindoro_ | Yup, everything pretty much quiet on this front too | 21:14 |
| majoridiot | astra-1, what configuration utilities are failing? | 21:14 |
| astra-1 | the mysql database | 21:15 |
| astra-1 | configuring shares | 21:15 |
| astra-1 | configuring login | 21:16 |
| astra-1 | actually nothing except the gui and networking seems to be functional | 21:16 |
| laga | then file some bug reports/post in the forums | 21:16 |
| majoridiot | agrees with laga... recommend forums first. | 21:16 |
| astra-1 | is the alternate install cd have more problems than the livecd? | 21:17 |
| majoridiot | astra-1, be sure to post complete system specs... mobo, video card, etc. | 21:17 |
| laga | the alternate disk isn't that well-tested. 8.04 the first release to have an alternate disk. | 21:17 |
| majoridiot | astra-1, the livecd worked 100% for me first try. have not tried the alt. | 21:17 |
| astra-1 | i'll try the livecd | 21:17 |
| majoridiot | you might | 21:17 |
| astra-1 | you think it'll run on 256 megs of ram | 21:18 |
| laga | no | 21:18 |
| laga | it _might_ work if you boot straight into ubiquity. there's a boot option to boot directly into the installer. | 21:18 |
