[00:03] i kindof killed my system, i would like to do a clean isntall and take the mythbuntu settings with me [00:03] is thqt possible? [00:21] jarle, afaik, the sources.list should be the same between different architechures [00:22] hi all i have a prblem when i boot mythbuntu on login i get an error our $HOME/.drmc file has incorrect permissions and is being ignored. This prevents the session from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. [00:22] any ideas how to fix [00:23] psicobra, well first I would ask what the output of ls -l ~/.drmc is [00:25] ls: cannot access /home/andy/.drmc: No such file or directory [00:26] -rw-r--r-- 1 andy andy 29 2008-04-26 22:49 /home/andy/.dmrc [00:26] tgm4883, i yped it wrong [00:27] psicobra, I assume that andy is the user? [00:27] ... [00:32] still didn't wotk every time i reboot it goes back to read only [00:35] psicobra, it's currently has the correct permissions [00:39] http://liltux.wordpress.com/2007/06/04/how-to-fix-errors-with-the-dmrc-file/ [03:21] where can I find the config of the Ubuntu/Mythbuntu kernel for 8.04? [03:22] /usr/src/`uname -r` [03:22] or better yet [03:22] /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ [03:22] hmmm does the resume/bookmark feature work with iso's in mythvideo? [03:23] i wouldnt expect it to [03:23] thanks superm1. I don't currently have the source installed and I want to build it as close to the stock kernel [03:23] swheatley, dont need the source installed [03:23] it comes in the headers package [03:23] kinda figured superm1 [03:23] which should be installed by default [03:24] swheatley@pvr:~$ cd /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ [03:24] -bash: cd: /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-16-generic/: No such file or directory [03:24] swheatley@pvr:~$ cd /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`/ [03:24] -bash: cd: /usr/src/linux-2.6.24-16-generic/: No such file or directory [03:24] oh my bad [03:24] crap, sorry for double pasting [03:24] /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/ [03:24] there is a file .config in there [03:24] that is the config that is used [03:24] I wonder how happy my laptop would be if I hacked xorg to have a larger res [03:25] not enough realestate here [03:25] superm1: awesome, thanks! [03:25] I'm trying to compile the kernel without the built-in v4l support [03:25] no prob [03:25] why? [03:25] trying to get my PVR-950 USB tuners installed [03:26] oh [03:26] that forked driver [03:26] bleh [03:26] installing the em28xx-dvb drivers hoses my whole system [03:26] yeah, I'm not a big fan :) [03:26] i wish someone would properly fix that [03:26] so it can join the v4l tree again [03:26] you and me both [03:26] well then honestly let me tell you the best solutin [03:26] solution even [03:26] apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic [03:27] modify the config for your architecture [03:27] bump the changelog [03:27] and then debuild it [03:27] you'll get a nice deb that won't be very different [03:27] and that the ABI will still be valid etc [03:28] when you say modify the config for my architecture, what do you mean? [03:28] well the way those source packages work [03:28] there are a collection of configs [03:28] in debian/config i think [03:29] for i386, amd64, lpia, etc [03:29] ah ok [03:29] then there are ways to force it to only build one of those architectures etc [03:30] it's funny... I've been doing this for years, but not on a debian system [03:30] I was a Gentoo guy previously [03:30] but got tired of my system breaking if I didn't emerge on a daily basis [03:31] so now I'm learning "the debian way" to do things [03:31] yeah me too [03:31] i came from gentoo 3 years back or so [03:32] well this is something you can't hold up to ubuntu or debian's fault though ;) [03:32] I still love their forums... always had tons of great info [03:32] not that the ubuntu ones aren't great as well [03:32] oh no! certainly not. [03:32] there is a nice wiki page discussing rebuilding kernels actually [03:32] let me see if i can come across it [03:33] just trying to learn what the right way to rebuild the kernel is [03:33] only ever installed a new binary image on any ubuntu box I've worked with [03:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [03:33] nice, thnx [03:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [03:33] ooops [03:33] yeah follow that exactly [03:41] apt-got the source [03:41] but it's not in /usr/src like I expected [03:42] I'm going back and following their instructions now, doing the build-dep step [03:46] ah, it's in my home dir [04:10] superm1: looks like v4l isn't compiled in, at least not in the config you pointed me to [04:10] I guess I need to contact the driver maintainer [04:10] thanks for all your help [04:51] hello all. Anyone here also using an MVPMC device? [07:15] superm1: actually, the configs are in /boot too [07:39] kees, oh thanks. w/ an unintuitive name too, config-`uname -r` :). I could have sworn they were there too, but was looking for .config [08:16] hello [08:16] I'm having trouble getting the frontend of mythbuntu setup [08:17] first off it tells me "No UPnP backends found" [08:17] Then the Database Configuration 1/2 page comes up, and all the fields are populated (including the password) [08:18] for Database Configuration 2/2 I did enter any settings for custom identifier or enable database server wakeup [08:19] I did not* [08:19] when I hit enter it tells me "Cannot login to database?" [08:19] and kicks me back to the Database Configuration 1/2 page [08:20] I've tried searching the forums. I have mysql running and the password for the mythtv user is correct [08:20] any ideas on what could be wrong? [08:44] aha! it looks like my mythconverg database has not been setup [09:05] I went ahead and re-installed mythbuntu from CD (this time selecting install instead of live) [09:05] looks like I don't have that issue anymore [10:35] 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] what could i do [11:20] anybody give me pointers to change where mtd dumps the output file? [13:12] hi all [13:12] hey [13:12] can i get some help about tv card/remote? [13:13] I can sure try [13:15] 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 [13:17] what system are you using? [13:19] 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] mythbuntu 8.04 [13:19] hardware wise it was expensive and nothing special [13:22] dmesg says:http://pastebin.com/d6bd98832 [13:26] 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 [13:27] yes but i can't manage to work [13:27] 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 [13:28] another option is to reconfigure lirc manually ie http://www.doctort.org/adam/nerd-notes/mythtv-and-the-twinhan-remote.html [13:28] how can i test it? [13:28] run hexdump in a terminal then press buttons on the remote it should output to the terminal [13:30] 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 [13:31] hmmm its not in the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices [13:33] hmm ok looked similar dmesg so does how does the remote reciever plugin? [13:37] have you tried modprobe saa7134 pinnacle_remote=1 [13:39] nevermind i have two boxes and one display. the link above i think ok, but im not done now [13:42] the tvcard is in the other box of course :P [13:45] ah ic well then this would be a problem however the mce remote looks like a good option in that case [13:52] no succes :( [13:53] Hi [13:53] I upgraded 7.10 to 8.04 and now I have some problems with my Nvidia [14:04] cmug: get to the queue [14:06] i'm there [14:13] cmug: XD [14:13] cmug: whats the problem? [14:14] 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 [14:15] linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic is the linux kernel [14:15] cmug: I had problems with nvidia propietary drivers too and I installed Hardy clean [14:15] I don't want to go clean :( [14:15] cmug: theres a thread in ubuntuforums.org about posible solutions [14:16] ok let me look them up [14:16] cmug: no, I installed clean the first time and had problem anyways [14:16] in my case, at some point they got solved, and I have no idea why [14:16] ok [14:16] I just booted to a older kernel, and am running apt-get purge on the latest version [14:17] I have the nvidia-new package installed, will reinstall the latest kernel too [14:22] and I keep getting this "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [14:22] " when I run modprobe nvidia.. [14:23] cmug: in the forums I remember people suggesting to completely remove envy and the drivers it installed [14:24] I did that [14:24] cant help you [14:24] then [14:24] np [14:32] wow I fixed it [14:33] now only if I can stop mythfrontend from respawning 1000 times a second [14:59] cmug: try to install [14:59] I got it fixed now [15:23] 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 [16:35] hey guys I uninstalled ubuntu hardy's default package for mythtv so I could install 21-fixes from source.. [16:35] but now anytime I do anything with apt-get it says mysql is no longer needed [16:35] I would like to do a clean but I don't want it to wipe out mysql [16:38] Aval0n: sudo apt-get install mysql [16:39] ok will that screw any of my databases? [16:39] Aval0n: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [16:39] thats the correct [16:40] that's correct? [16:40] it WILL hose them?> [16:40] 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] that's cool [16:41] but not at the expense of losing any pre-configured databases [16:41] Aval0n: if the packet mysql-server its allredy installed it wont touch anything, it will just mark the package as installed on its own [16:42] ok [16:43] 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] and sudo apt-get install that package [16:43] Removing nvidia-glx ... [16:43] dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so' with [16:43] different file `/usr/lib/nvidia/libwfb.so.xserver-xorg-core', not allowed [16:44] arrg wtf is it trying to remove glx for when I install mysql-server [16:45] is there a way to force remove nvidia-glx [16:45] I have a driver from nvidia.com installed anyway [16:45] not using that package either. [16:46] this begs the question. Was there something you specifically needed from 21-fixes? [16:46] Aval0n: yes, you can force a package to not be installed [16:46] how [16:47] Aval0n: I dont know how to do it in apt-get, you can do it in synaptic [16:48] unfortunatly i'm relying on ssh atm [16:48] Im sure apt-get can do it, check the help [16:48] Aval0n, ssh host -X -Y [16:48] have been [16:48] to a vista box tgm? [16:48] will that work? [16:48] also, check if mysql-server is the package you have installed for the mysql server [16:49] Aval0n, was there something specifically that you needed from 21-fixes? [16:49] Aval0n, couldn't hurt to try? [16:49] tgm4883: lots [16:49] including a patch for skiploopfilter [16:50] well this seems like a lot of work for something that could be in the -fixes repo [16:50] i'de be fine if I could just get this darn nvidia-glx package off here [16:50] -fixes doesn't have the skiploopfilter patch [16:50] ah [16:51] http://pastebin.org/34223 [16:51] any idea how to fix that? [16:51] heh [16:52] nope [16:52] lol [16:52] that makes 2 of us [17:50] anyone had problems with SATA hard disks in Hardy/Mythbuntu? [17:50] I can seem to get a new partition created and formatted ext3 [18:22] 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 [18:25] 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? [18:28] anyone? its a bit urgent im working with the livecd now but i need to reinstall asap, i need my system [18:33] i believe most settings are stored in the database [18:33] not 100% sure, but that would be where i would look [18:34] pdragon: then ill just set it up again [18:34] i dunno anything about databases lol [18:34] anyway i cant wait any longer [18:34] need to install [18:34] byeybe [18:35] if you install the phpmyadmin package you can get to it from http://your.ip.address/phpmyadmin [19:11] pdragon: you here? i'm currently looking into the mythweb password problem [19:11] yeah, but not fully. i'm at work so may be delayed in responding sometimes [19:12] ah. you don't happen to have access to the box where mythweb is running right now? [19:12] i do [19:12] ssh and web [19:12] not directly or vnc tho [19:14] ssh will do. [19:14] so, the problem was that the password in the mythweb config was different from what was in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [19:14] yes [19:14] for me it happened after an update. seems it's happened for some people right at install too [19:15] 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] of course, omit the single quotes :) [19:20] that 'get' supposed to be there? i don't have that command [19:20] duh, sorry :) [19:20] echo get mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password | debconf-communicate [19:21] getting permission denied errors. where's the right place to put sudo when piping things? [19:21] the permission denied errors shouldn't matter.. isn't there some 'better' output in the last line? [19:23] debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied [19:23] 10 mythtv/mysql_mythtv_password doesn't exist [19:23] that's the output [19:24] odd. do you have mythtv-common installed? [19:24] yes [19:30] heh. doesn't work here either.. maybe that's the problem [19:30] thanks [19:30] np :) [19:37] HI @ ALL [19:44] 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] 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] Do i realy do everything wrong ? [19:44] sorry for my englisch [20:37] Anyone here good at sussing out wireless issues? [20:40] I am having quite the problem with one of my mythboxes and getting it to connect with my wireless router [21:00] * agamotto waves [21:10] so mythbuntu 8.04 is pretty buggy? [21:10] is there a stable release? [21:12] it seems as if nothing works properly [21:13] such as mysql and configuration utilities [21:14] mysql works fine here [21:14] Yup, everything pretty much quiet on this front too [21:14] astra-1, what configuration utilities are failing? [21:15] the mysql database [21:15] configuring shares [21:16] configuring login [21:16] actually nothing except the gui and networking seems to be functional [21:16] then file some bug reports/post in the forums [21:16] agrees with laga... recommend forums first. [21:17] is the alternate install cd have more problems than the livecd? [21:17] astra-1, be sure to post complete system specs... mobo, video card, etc. [21:17] the alternate disk isn't that well-tested. 8.04 the first release to have an alternate disk. [21:17] astra-1, the livecd worked 100% for me first try. have not tried the alt. [21:17] i'll try the livecd [21:17] you might [21:18] you think it'll run on 256 megs of ram [21:18] no [21:18] it _might_ work if you boot straight into ubiquity. there's a boot option to boot directly into the installer. [21:18] 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 .

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 ?!?!?! [21:18] Do i realy do everything wrong ? [21:18] sorry for my englisch [21:24] astra-1, works great here [21:25] astra-1, make sure you verified your md5sum on the iso, then verfied the burn (and burn at a slow speed) [21:25] ^^ sounds like it is exactly your problem [21:45] hello ? [21:46] oh , that wasnt me : cosmic hat (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) beendet [21:46] :) [22:35] would anyone know about getting the media center extender remote for the original xbox working with mythtv or linux in general? [22:45] hello there [22:45] i've just installed mythbuntu via alternate cd [22:45] and need a little help [22:46] I've launched mcc control center [22:46] I've launch the backend configuration [22:46] but i get an error with mysql database [22:46] --> access denied for user mythtv@localhost [22:46] can anybody help me? [23:02] nobody can help me with mysql? [23:10] seems like my ubuntu system is having some problems compiling myth: http://pastebin.ca/1009832 Any idea how to debug this?
