[00:55] majoridiot, are you signed on? [00:55] no [00:55] :) [00:56] I'll set up ssh [00:56] karlec, did you get my pm? [00:56] yes [00:56] hm. i got no reply. [00:57] I just got it now, So I figured I'd try this to answer [00:57] k [00:58] ssh is now set up. What do you need? [00:58] pm [00:58] me [01:00] no pm? [01:00] I just did [01:00] hm. i got nothing here. [01:00] you registered your nick? [01:00] yes [01:01] i replied to your ubuntu message [01:01] i'm not getting your irc pms [01:02] karlec, do you have another messenger application? [01:06] karlec, ^^^ [01:09] majoridiot, it would appear that karlec is not identified to services [01:09] tgm4883, looks that way. [01:24] oh, the us repos are slow today [01:30] top [01:30] sorry backspace appears to not be working [02:23] hi anyone there? [02:23] I have no sound in MythTV on Mythbuntu 8.04 :( [02:33] hey all, I've just installed mythbuntu 8.04. when I go to configure the backend, I am told that there are "No UPnP backends found", then when I go try to configure settings and connect, I'm told that it "cannot login to database" [02:34] :( [02:34] I have no sound in MythTV after upgrade [02:49] I've tried to install mythbuntu on my pc (only hdd is SATA) but when I reboot all I get is "GRUB Loading stage1.5." and then it stops [02:50] yeah 8.04 changed the hard drive names :( [02:50] hda becomes sda [02:50] oh [02:50] is the drive bootable? [02:50] I've tried installing grub at "(hd0)" (the default), "/dev/sda" and "/dev/sda0" [02:50] reinstall grub [02:51] root (hd0) [02:51] setup (hd0) [02:51] It's a brand new drive. ...it doesn't actually come up in the BIOS "auto scan IDE" or whatever [02:52] is "hd0" == "/dev/sda" == "/dev/sda0"? [02:52] (single partition) [02:52] how did you install mythubuntu [02:52] with the mythbuntu live cd or ubuntu live cd? [02:53] mythbuntu live cd [02:53] try fdisk /dev/sda [02:53] to see if your partition [02:53] is bootable [02:54] how do you make it bootable if it's not? [02:56] oops my mistake, try [02:56] cfdisk /dev/sda [02:56] cfdisk is more intuitive than fdisk [02:56] or gparted if you have it [02:56] yeah gparted [02:59] perhaps I should not have chosen the "guided partition" option in the installation process? [03:00] do you have one partition that fills your entire hard drive [03:00] or you have a / and /boot partitions? [03:01] I should be able to boot off a Ubuntu 7 live cd to get a shell and fix MythBuntu 8.04? [03:01] yeah [03:01] fix grub with a live cd [03:02] so, I run UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mythtv') WHERE user='mythtv'; then FLUSH PRIVILEGES; and then try to log in to mysql w/ username mythtv and password mythtv, and it doesn't let me... [03:02] Whatever "guided partitioning" did for me - when I go back through the install process I think it's trying to show a small (orange) boot partition - perhaps [03:09] I selected the "Advanced" option at the confirmation stage and it asks where to install the boot loader - having gone through the guided partioning process I [03:09] I am not sure which option to select [03:09] is "root (hd0)" a grub command? [03:11] root (hd0,0) [03:12] tgelter: yes [03:12] http://pastebin.com/m50b3e658 [03:26] anyone know how to delete a storage group? where's that text file? [03:27] hmmm .. setting it back to the default seems to let me exit [04:41] Any one else using the RF FireFly Remote with 8.04? [05:03] hello [05:05] anyone in here? [05:11] yep [05:22] I have no sound in MythTV after upgrade [05:22] alsamixer is broken :( === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [07:50] hi everyone ... I am fighting with a mythfronted which refuses to start upon login on 8.04 ... a manual start via run dialog works ... any idea on what I forgot to do? is there an autostart entry for xfce that I missed? [07:53] I guess just dumping it into .xsession would help [07:55] well the way it normally happens [07:55] is a symlink in ~/.config/autostart [08:04] superm1: will check this [08:05] don't have autostart ... tnx for the correct solution [08:06] rockhound, it's what mcc does for you when you setup the automatic login [08:06] it fixes the gdm conf and sets that symlink up [08:07] hmm ... tried using this option in mcc but it never happend [08:09] interesting [08:09] well that's something to file a bug on :) [08:09] there are lots of circumstances that can cause odd behaviors like that [11:56] hello, i would like to use my laptop as a mythtv frontend, but when i start mythfrontend i get connection timed out how can i solve this [13:00] hi all i was getting pretty bad performance when playing hd on my mythbuntu box so i brought what should have been a better card it gets higher frams in glxgears but video playback is much worse [14:26] any one hot core avc working yet? === sabhain is now known as sabhain_ === sabhain_ is now known as sabhain [15:07] Hmmm...I just noticed I can no longer watch tv nor record tv... [15:08] working great a couple of days ago (pre update?) [15:09] tried a mythfilldatabase and reboot--but that didn't help [15:21] wilberfan, do you happen to have phpmyadmin installed? [15:25] Hello all, I've got a question; I've got a PVR500 from hauppage. I love it and am trying to get its remote working. I use the mythbuntu control center to set it up and it doesn't seem to take. I even rebooted. [15:27] foxbuntu, how do i confirm that's installed? [15:28] The 500 is a really great card all told, I recommend it. [15:28] I have a -350, meself... [15:29] the remote works--but now I can't watch or record tv! [15:29] Hooray! Well one out of two ain't bad! [15:29] :P [15:30] Seriously though, have you tried to record with it outside of mythtv? [15:30] There is a test you can do to see if the tuner is working (configuring a tuner in mythtv can be confusing, the card might be working and just not set up) [15:30] wilberfan, quickest way would be: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [15:31] mib_m0d340, everything worked great until a day or two ago? [15:31] cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg [15:31] haven't changed anything--cept ran an update [15:31] foxbuntu, let me do that now... [15:31] Run that, then ctrl-c to stop the output. [15:31] then open play the test.mpg [15:31] ok standby... [15:33] i'm installing phpmyadmin now.... [15:33] should i be seeing output from that cat command? [15:33] (the cursor is just sitting on the next line...) [15:33] hit ctrl-c [15:34] That stops it. [15:34] then play the /tmp/test.mpg in whatever media player you have handy. [15:35] "contains no data" (which is what happened this morning when I tried to play back a recording I made last night...) [15:36] verify that you have a /dev/video0? [15:37] i see one using nautilus, yeah... [15:37] are the repos slow today? 10 more minutes to install phpmyadmin?? [15:37] and test.mpg is 0 bytes? [15:37] mib_m0d340, yep [15:38] could the card have unseated itself or something....?? [15:38] :\ [15:39] It would be unlikely to show up on the file system if it unseated itself. [15:39] Did you update anything? [15:39] good point [15:39] is it possible some ivtv driver version was replaced? [15:40] yes, I did... a buttload of stuff that the update mgr said was avail... [15:40] Ah okay, and you've rebooted since I assume. [15:40] yep...just before i came in here [15:40] my phpmyadmin is asking me which web server to reconfigure automatically... [15:41] It's got to be related to the update. [15:41] apache2? apache? apache-ssl -perl lighttpd? [15:41] mib_m0d340, the timing would be right for that explanation... [15:41] I'd just go with apache2 [15:42] foxbuntu, that php thing is installed now... [15:43] mib_m0d340, how do you tell what it was in the update that borked things? and how do you fix it?? [15:48] That's the question [15:48] My suspicion is the ivtv driver isn't working for you. [15:48] If you want, you could supo apt-get install build-essential [15:49] And then build the latest ivtv drivers from source. [15:49] yikes... [15:51] would there be any log files anywhere that might point to...something illuminating (that might confirm the driver issue)? [15:53] Well, I think the 0byte video file is pretty damning. [15:54] i notice that ivtv doesn't have a hardy repo listed yet... [15:55] http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/ [15:55] think the feisty one would work...? [15:55] wilberfan, pretty sure the ivtv drivers are in the ubuntu main repos for hardy [15:56] foxbuntu, isn't that where i would have gotten the update that borked things? [15:56] wilberfan, open the phpmyadmin console in a browser http://your-backend/phpmyadmin [15:56] k [15:57] wilberfan, I run the ivtv drivers as well and haven't had any issues [15:57] username, password? [15:58] wilberfan, should be root and your MYSQL root password, if you didn't set one yet its blank [15:58] yeah, that worked.... [15:59] if this cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg didn't give you a video file, I don't think any database work is going to resolve anything. [15:59] now on the left click on mythconverg [15:59] mib_m0d340, I didn't see that [15:59] d'oh! [16:00] wilberfan, pastebin your dmesg | grep ivtv [16:01] what's the pastebin url again...? [16:01] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10940/ [16:02] "i2c hardware not found"? [16:05] wilberfan, were you using 710 and upgraded to 8.04? or fresh build on 8.04? [16:05] foxbuntu, fresh install of hardy last weekend... [16:06] foxbuntu, did you see the part where I said everything was fine until an update yesterday or the day before? [16:06] wilberfan, was there an ivtv update? [16:06] I havent looked in a couple of weeks [16:06] no idea... there were 2 or 3 dozen things listed! [16:07] wilberfan, I am researching...but in the mean time you could try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ivtv [16:07] cool ('preciate the help!) [16:08] "couldn't find package ivtv" [16:08] :O [16:09] There you go [16:09] sudo apt-get update [16:10] wilberfan, ^^ [16:10] still can't find that package... [16:10] did my sources list get screwed up?? [16:11] wilberfan, I am researching...but in the mean time you could try this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ivtv* [16:11] wilberfan, that should do it, sorry I forgot that they are meta packages [16:11] aaaaaaaaahhhh! [16:12] ;) [16:12] ok...about 16-dozen things are being installed... (50MB worth) [16:13] only, us.archive.ubuntu.com doesn't seem to be responding... [16:13] (damn) [16:14] wilberfan, just wait, sometimes that repo is slow to respond [16:14] [pant-pant!] [16:17] I've gotta leave in about 20 mins...and it's retreived 0 bytes so far! [16:19] us.archive.ubuntu.com is pretty bad IMHO .. times out too much. I used mx.archive.ubuntu.com for a CLI install and it pulled things in pretty quickly [16:20] yeah...i'm looking for a good mirror right now... [16:21] yeah...i'm looking for a good mirror right now... [16:21] OK...NOW we're cookin'..... [16:23] foxbuntu, ok, i've reinstalled all those ivtv packages... [16:24] time for a reboot, or...? [16:24] wilberfan, yeah, try a reboot [16:24] ok....brb [16:28] drat. still no live tv.... [16:28] try it: cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg [16:30] nope. still a 0 byte file... [16:30] Yeah, that's the crucial problem. [16:30] That video card isn't working on it's most basic level. [16:32] what does those "i2c hardware not found..." messages mean? [16:32] ("do those") [16:39] I think it's trying to tell you it doesn't know what hardware it has. [16:39] lscpi [16:39] find out what the readout of that says for your TV card? [16:45] trying lspci | grep uner might give you what you want. [16:46] that command doesn't display anything in the terminal.... [16:47] try lspci [16:48] it shows a "multimedia video controller" or is that just the video card? [16:48] I think so [16:49] I think it's your video card. [16:49] i wanna try something....brb [16:49] I'm not at my tivo box or I'd compare with you. [16:54] ok, boys.... I fixed it.... [16:54] what was it? [16:54] * I re-seated the hauupage card! * [16:54] D ' O H !! [16:55] [smacks forehead] [16:55] [smacks mib_m0d340 's forehead] [16:55] (lol) [16:55] But i'm late for work....gotta rush... [16:55] I seriously appreciate the hand-holding, though.... [16:56] laters...! [16:56] [bows to room] [17:01] hi all does any one know why disabling double buffer makes HD run better [17:17] hey, mib_m0d340 in retrospect, what would have been a clue that my card needed to be reseated? [17:17] (other than it not working!) [17:19] the lspci not listing it was the big one. [17:19] mib_m0d340: yeah, now that i think about it...that's probably what made me want to try th at... [17:19] I suspected that might be it. [17:20] do i get any points for thinking of it myself? ;) [17:20] unfortunetely on any given desktop, there will always be a /dev/video0 [17:20] yes you do. [17:20] did you get your remote working yet? [17:20] And you win a working PVR! [17:20] Congratulations. [17:20] yaaay! [17:24] mib_m0d340: no working remote yet? [17:33] Nope, I was wondering if someone had experience with the 500 [17:34] I'm at work so I can't test anything live; but I was thinking it had to be something simple. [17:34] Everything else works so damn well. [17:36] i've had a LITTLE trouble with my 350 remote...but it's always been fairly easy to get working... [17:37] i remember once there was a box i needed to check in the control center... (i'm at work, too...can't remember exactly what it said...) [17:38] I did that, it was a box to check for if you "have a hauppage TV Card remote" [17:40] no, it was something else... something about a...jeez what was it...? [17:40] are there screenshots of those config screens anywhere? [17:54] mib_m0d340: I found a screencapture of that box i was thinking of... [17:55] (uploading now) [17:56] mib_m0d340: http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/2484/mccremotexc2.png [17:56] anyone know where I can switch the guide and OK keys for use while in the live tv guide only === tgm4883_ is now known as tgm4883 [18:02] where are the key remote key assignments that are context sensitive kept? I want to change what happens when I press the ok button in the live tv guide not change the ok button to a different keyboard key. I've installed mythcontrols and dug through there, but nothing in there seems to be what I'm looking for [18:19] tgm4883, I'm looking for that too .. just got to the remote stage with my 2 front ends. They function .. but there's so much more that can be done if the context can be tweaked to our own liking [18:21] sabhain, yes. Seems like there should be a file somewhere where this is kept. [18:22] tgm4883, it's on my list for tonight I think .. I'll report back if I get it sorted out. [18:25] i have a LOT of buttons on my 350 remote that don't do anything... it would be very cool to assign some useful functions to them... [18:25] sabhain, it would appear that the context settings are kept in the db, but it only shows what I can change in mythcontrols, nothing more [18:26] wilberfan, if each remote button is mapped to a keyboard key, then you should be able to use mythcontrols to do what you want to do [18:28] tgm4883: hmmm. i don't usually use the keyboard (the tower/keyboard/mouse are in the next room), so i'd have to lookup what keys do what... [18:29] wilberfan, just install mythcontrols, then go into the frontend, general settings and there should be a menu for edit keys [18:30] tgm4883: really? cool. is 'mythcontrols' different than the mythcontrol center? [18:30] yes [18:31] wow. i need to hang out in here more often... [18:31] :) [18:31] then just go in there, find what you want to edit hit ok (twice I think) then press the button you want it mapped to [18:31] if nothing shows up when you hit that button, that means the button isn't mapped to a keyboard key [18:32] in which case we can fix that [18:32] but not right now, as I have to leave ;) [18:32] (oh. tgm4883 I remember you now. you've been REALLY helpful in the past!) [18:32] i'm not home anyway... later tonight! :) [18:32] i try to be [18:33] you've helped with a couple of problemos i've had in the past. good on ya. [18:35] wilberfan, thats cause superm1 keeps a short leash on us ;) [18:35] anyway, have to run now. School time [18:35] laters, dude... [18:36] ("superm" must stand for "supermom") [18:36] :P [18:36] actually, superm1 is the mythbuntu project leader [18:37] really have to run now [18:37] ciao [18:41] :) === MythbuntuGuest55 is now known as fubz [19:06] Hello, is anyone availble to help me get my diskless server working? [19:09] fubz, I know alittle about it, I can try to help [19:16] heyfoxbuntu, I have a thread started here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774719 [19:16] I installed it all correctly to my knowledge but the clients still refuse to boot [19:23] i'm curious: how does a diskless server work?? [19:23] :-\ [19:24] fubz, did you create the USB drive? [19:24] or are you using dhcpd + pxe [19:24] wilberfan, black magic ;) [19:24] :P [19:25] c'mon, seriously... where do the recordings, go, etc... [19:27] im using pxe but my router is running DD-WRT so i am letting that be the dhcp server [19:28] wilberfan, its all self contained in the server that hosts the Mythbuntu Diskless Server [19:28] fubz, well in the firewall dhcp config did you setup a pxe image? [19:28] yes [19:29] what error do you get when trying to boot to pxe on your diskless clients? [19:29] or what happens there of [19:29] hmm. i'm having trouble picturing that in my head...i'll have to do some research... [19:29] there is no error it just sits there for a bit... not sure what it does... then procceeeds to boot to hard disk [19:29] wilberfan, think of it as a frontend only client [19:30] all the storeage remains on the BE server but in this case there is an image that the client connects to rather than having the O/S on the client frontend machine [19:31] fubz, strange, I guess I am probably not familiar enough to ask the right questions, the man in the know about it is laga, he wrote most of it [19:32] re [19:32] fubz, and I have delivered him to you [19:32] :) [19:33] ah, i bookmarked your posting :) [19:33] was going to look at it tonight [19:33] laga, fubz can't get his diskless client to boot, he has a pxe env using dd-wrt for dhcp and the image on his be [19:33] well there ya go [19:33] wow. i understood almost NONE of that! :D [19:35] wilberfan, sorry, irc doesn't have crayons for me to draw it out on construction paper for you ;) [19:35] lol [19:35] heh [19:35] sorry, just had to take a poke at ya [19:36] * foxbuntu has the least patience of all core devs [19:36] no [19:36] i do [19:36] lol [19:36] ;) [19:36] fubz: so, what do you think is the problem? [19:37] [obviously 'pick on the new guy' day!] [19:37] ;) [19:38] wilberfan, naw... I have just been sick the last few days so my fuse is slightly shorter than most days [19:38] i'm only joshin' ya back... [19:39] sooo... the lesson is, don't take anything I say personally [19:40] i'll just put on a helmet and pads before i come in...that'll help... [19:40] lol [19:40] did you hear what my "no live tv'" problem turned out to be this morning? [19:40] * foxbuntu kicks wilberfan in the groined to test his pads [19:40] wilberfan, yeah I saw it in passing [19:41] I was actually going to say to try that but stupid work pulled me away from my desk [19:41] [catches breath from 'nad kick] [19:42] class over already, tgm? [19:42] we absolutely were NOT talking about you while you were gone, so don't worry... [19:43] wilberfan, tgm4883_laptop knows I don't talk about him behind his back...i always make fun of him to his face [19:43] lol [19:47] lol [20:01] i want to install mythbuntu on my ubuntu installation at home, but i have no internet acces there, how can i do it? [20:03] I suspect you could burn a mythbuntu CD and it could do the rest; though without internet you won't get TV-schedules. [20:04] the alternate disk might work for you. [20:05] well i have already installe ubuntu, with the mythbuntu install cd i could only get the nvidia drivers [20:05] or just burn the needed packages on a disk, i'm sure there are scripts which will do that. [20:06] is the translation package named mythbuntu-desktop ? [20:06] would the alternate cd have what i need? [20:06] MythbuntuGuest57: it has all the packages [20:06] for mythbuntu ;) [20:06] so it should work [20:06] let us know if it works ;) [20:06] the alternate disk is somewhat new, not all options have been tested [20:07] well, i will try that. [20:07] thanks [20:08] I would guess adding the mythbuntu dvd as a source in sources.list and installing mythbuntu-desktop will do what you want. [20:12] i tried adding the cd to sources but only got a couple of things, and asked form some perlthing that couldn't find [20:12] MythbuntuGuest57: did you try the desktop cd or the alternate cd? [20:12] the desktop cd, i'm downloading de alternate cd to give it a try [21:04] hello [21:04] I have a weird error i'm hoping you can help with [21:04] I just put mythbuntu on dual-boot with my windows media center box (trying it out) [21:05] three drives... one partitioned with ntfs, ext2, and then a swap partition [21:05] the other two pure ntfs [21:06] every time i reboot, the machine seems to decide a different drive is /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, or /dev/sda3 and so the drive mappings for mythbuntu get all screwed up [21:11] is it possible to define them by drive ID instead of the /dev/sda stuff? [22:15] hi! [22:15] i'd like to use a pc as backend for 3 clients(dvb-s). do i need a fullfeatured dvb-s card? (cpu power?) [22:16] or better dvb-s cards. [23:03] Hi all - I have Mythbuntu 8.04 with a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 using the remote control that comes with the tuner. The remote control appears to work perfectly, however no repeat events are generated when I hold down a button. Running 'irw' shows only one event is generated no matter how long I hold down the button. Any ideas what the problem might be? [23:04] my .lircrc includes 'repeat 3' for all buttons [23:22] posted here, any suggestions appreciated [23:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=787218 [23:22] thanks [23:49] hello
