| swheatley | any long time ubuntu users know how often they add new kernel versions? | 02:28 |
|---|---|---|
| swheatley | still trying to get my HVR-950 working and from what I've read it seems to work best with 2.6.25 | 02:29 |
| ddgoose | hmm, mythmovies hard crashes frontend, I looked into it and seems that they moved the web service to a new url and mythvideo doesnt like the return. | 03:48 |
| dsmith_ | hi | 05:50 |
| dsmith_ | is there a hardware list for setting up a server to record shows? | 05:51 |
| baalsgate | why do cron jobs not work ??? | 10:06 |
| baalsgate | I have things in my crontab but they never run | 10:07 |
| baalsgate | whats wrong with ubuntu cron ? | 10:08 |
| bogus- | is your cron daemon running? | 10:20 |
| bogus- | do you have a <enter> behind your last cron entry? | 10:21 |
| baalsgate | i put in the crontab " 2 * * * * root /usr/bin/touch /tmp/testfile" and nothing is happening | 10:21 |
| baalsgate | ps -ax | grep cron shows cron running | 10:21 |
| bogus- | did you place an enter behind that line? | 10:22 |
| baalsgate | bogus , i will try that | 10:23 |
| baalsgate | 30 * * * * mythtv /usr/bin/touch /tmp/testfile | 10:24 |
| baalsgate | should give me a tmp/testfile in 30 mins ? | 10:25 |
| baalsgate | or only when the time is .... :30 | 10:25 |
| bogus- | indeed iirc | 10:28 |
| bogus- | */30 gives every 30 mins | 10:28 |
| bogus- | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron | 10:31 |
| baalsgate | its still not working | 10:35 |
| baalsgate | i put in "*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/touch /tmp/testfile" to see if it would do it every min but nothing | 10:35 |
| bogus- | you editted with crontab -e? | 10:42 |
| baalsgate | yep | 10:43 |
| bogus- | sure you hit enter a few times after your line? | 10:46 |
| baalsgate | yep | 10:47 |
| nuSharper | hi there! how can i make MythTV's window behave like the windows of ordinary video players? i wanna be able to change MythTV's from fullscreen to normal (windowed with borders) with a double-click or keyboard shortcut. this way i'd be able to keep the window on the corner of my screen while browsing the web and quickly switch to fullscreen when solely watching TV. | 14:40 |
| ddgoose | nuSharper: are you using a remote? | 14:54 |
| nuSharper | no. just my kbd | 14:54 |
| sardiskan | how do I get to the web interface of my mythbox | 14:55 |
| nuSharper | when watching a DivX video on MPlayer, i can switch in fullscreen or windowed mode witha double-click on the player... on MythTV i havent found a way. | 14:55 |
| sardiskan | MythTV is a full screen application. If you are running a video, it assumes you aren't doing anything else....nor can you. | 14:56 |
| sardiskan | if you wanted it windowed, you'd have to run the mythtv frontend windowed | 14:56 |
| WcktKlwn | does anyone know why my audio went away after an upgrade last night? | 14:57 |
| nuSharper | sardiskan: i've changed the settings to a 400x300 window but then i can play fullscreen... so cant i switch between fullcreen and windowed on the fly? | 14:58 |
| ddgoose | You dont need to use windowed, you can just to ctrl+alt+(left|right)arrow | 14:58 |
| sardiskan | nevermind | 14:58 |
| sardiskan | I found the web interface | 14:59 |
| ddgoose | just switch desktops to the next workspace | 14:59 |
| ddgoose | like I said above | 14:59 |
| nuSharper | ddgoose: so without changing the setting of the GUI size, i can use the shortcut you mentioned and switch from FS to windowed? | 15:00 |
| ddgoose | don't need to go out of windowed at all | 15:00 |
| nuSharper | ddgoose: hmmm... wont that cause higher CPU usage? | 15:00 |
| ddgoose | it switches you to a clean desktop | 15:00 |
| ddgoose | I don't think so | 15:01 |
| nuSharper | let me see if i understand you, i have to have MythTV open in both desktops? | 15:01 |
| nuSharper | i dont wanna lose sight of the TV... | 15:02 |
| ddgoose | do'h I missed that part | 15:02 |
| nuSharper | i have be able to have it windowed or fullscreen depending on what is on... | 15:02 |
| nuSharper | i wanna be able* | 15:02 |
| nuSharper | i've tried to run my Hauppauge card via MPlayer but the playback in it is choppy... i do get the FS x Windowed switch via MPlayer, but i lose in pic quality. :-( | 15:03 |
| sardiskan | ddgoose...in the mythweb interface....I'm getting an error when browsing to the Videos section | 15:07 |
| sardiskan | Could not create a symlink to /var/lib/mythtv/videos, the local MythVideo directory for this hostname (king-mythbox). Please create a symlink to your MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of MythWeb. | 15:07 |
| ddgoose | sardiskan: gimme sec I have an answer for you | 15:08 |
| sardiskan | thx | 15:08 |
| sardiskan | the symlink is in the /var/www/mythweb/data directory | 15:08 |
| sardiskan | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-05-12 16:12 video -> /var/lib/mythtv/video | 15:09 |
| ddgoose | yeah the symlink should point to videos not video | 15:11 |
| sardiskan | I'm not understanding | 15:12 |
| sardiskan | I have to create a symlink to EACH video manually? | 15:12 |
| ddgoose | negative | 15:12 |
| ddgoose | if you look in /var/lib/mythtv do you see a directory called video? | 15:12 |
| ddgoose | you should see a directory called "videos" | 15:13 |
| ddgoose | you need to repoint the symlink | 15:13 |
| sardiskan | cd d'oh | 15:13 |
| sardiskan | I see it now | 15:13 |
| ddgoose | so if you cd /var/www/mythweb/data/ | 15:13 |
| sardiskan | how do I report bugs? | 15:13 |
| ddgoose | then remove the video symlink | 15:13 |
| sardiskan | oh nevermind | 15:14 |
| ddgoose | and relink it to /var/lib/mythtv/videos | 15:14 |
| sardiskan | I said "REPOINT" not "REPORT" | 15:14 |
| sardiskan | thx | 15:14 |
| sardiskan | so just recreate the symlink | 15:14 |
| sardiskan | cool | 15:14 |
| ddgoose | yeah | 15:14 |
| sardiskan | easy enough | 15:14 |
| ddgoose | nuSharper as far as I can tell there is no fullscreen toggle, someone with more knowledge on that may reply in here at some point. | 15:15 |
| nuSharper | ok. i'll keep trying | 15:15 |
| sardiskan | ok...now I can get to it...but I'm having some other PHP errors | 15:20 |
| sardiskan | when I click on videos in mythweb, I get 4 php errors | 15:20 |
| sardiskan | ok, fixed it...permissions issue on the coverart file | 15:21 |
| hugolp | how can I export a mythtv recording? | 15:32 |
| sardiskan | just use Samba and move it via windows | 15:33 |
| sardiskan | under the "recordings" shared directory | 15:33 |
| sardiskan | assuming you did disable samba at install | 15:33 |
| hugolp | sardiskan: no | 15:34 |
| hugolp | first I dont use windows | 15:34 |
| hugolp | second, I want to send the mpeg file to a friend | 15:34 |
| sardiskan | then use NFS | 15:34 |
| sardiskan | NFS should also be running | 15:34 |
| hugolp | I have nfs, but I want to send a recording to a friend through email | 15:35 |
| sabhain | sardiskan, how's it going with that remote? Any luck with the extra buttons? | 15:35 |
| hugol1 | sorry, I hitted the quit button with the foot :-P | 15:38 |
| hugol1 | so, how can I send a recording to a friend through email? | 15:40 |
| sardiskan | oh yes sabhain...I figured it out | 15:49 |
| ddgoose | what do you use for mail? | 15:49 |
| sardiskan | I haven't got ALL the buttons configured...but I know how to do it now...just a matter of making it happen | 15:49 |
| sardiskan | thx for all your help | 15:49 |
| ddgoose | hugol1: what do you use for mail? | 15:50 |
| sardiskan | hugolp....use NFS to grab the file you want...then just attach it to an email | 15:50 |
| sardiskan | or post it to youtube. | 15:50 |
| sardiskan | private | 15:50 |
| ddgoose | or you could use rapidshare and megaupload | 15:54 |
| ddgoose | or gmail I think does large files | 15:55 |
| hugol1 | ddgoose: gmail | 15:56 |
| ddgoose | or you could give them a ssh account and chroot them to your recording directory | 15:56 |
| hugol1 | sardiskan: I though mythtv used a weird video format | 15:56 |
| hugol1 | but I see it doesnt | 15:56 |
| hugol1 | thanks | 15:56 |
| sardiskan | no problem | 16:03 |
| sabhain | sardiskan, are you keeping the "includes" file and modifying the .mythtv one .. or did you blow away and replace the whole .lircrc? | 16:25 |
| dispadertest | sabhain: Are you trying to override things in the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file? | 16:52 |
| sabhain | dispadertest, no .. just wondering how sardiskan handled the .lircrc thing. Older configs have everything in the base file (~/.lircrc), but the 8.04 sets that file up with a bunch of includes .. just wondering which approach he took. | 16:55 |
| sardiskan | ok, I just installed an ATI TV WONDER 550 card for capture and apparently, the system doesn't see it | 16:55 |
| sardiskan | sabhain...I'm just modifying the .lirc/mythtv file | 16:55 |
| dispadertest | sabhain: Ah, yeah... sorry about that. The ~/.lircrc with the little include statements. I wound up adding a ~/.lirc/mythtv, which seemed to override quite nicely. | 16:59 |
| ddgoose | sardiskan do --> lsmod |grep bttv | 17:05 |

| momelod | greetings channel | 17:41 |
| ddgoose | but I don't see it in here anyways so it will return nothing I suspect | 17:41 |
| sardiskan | that doesn't give anything | 17:41 |
| sardiskan | er...returns no results | 17:42 |
| momelod | i upgraded my mythbuntu box to 8.04 last night and now i cant start X | 17:42 |

| ddgoose | k? | 17:49 |
| sardiskan | cool | 17:49 |

| ddgoose | bleh | 17:50 |

| dispadertest | Is anybody heard of a case where one would get "Unable to initialize video." after a system has been running for a few minutes. | 17:57 |
| Solarbaby | I just installed Mythbuntu 8.04 and im seeing that lirc isn't starting up | 19:03 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: You've been a great help to me last time I had lirc issues.. I hope your around | 19:05 |
| laga | grr, i wish the openssl vulnerability was linked from ubuntu.com | 19:06 |
| laga | (from the front page) | 19:07 |
| Solarbaby | Maybe lirc was broken in the Mythbuntu install cd? | 19:21 |
| Solarbaby | Its too quiet in here for me.. I'm off to go get some lunch | 19:27 |
| Solarbaby | seeya all later | 19:28 |
| sabhain | anyone know if software Raid(1) works with XFS file systems? | 19:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sabhain, I don't see why it wouldn't | 19:36 |
| sabhain | getting some weird behavior .. I can create the raid array using mdadm .. but when I try and mount it, I get a "bad superblock" error. | 19:38 |
| sabhain | I have 2 setup .. one is ext3 and the other xfs .. the ext3 works ok .. xfs is the problem child | 19:38 |
| sabhain | trying a redo on the partitions & formats now | 19:39 |
| sabhain | tgm4883_laptop .. should I format after the array is assembled, or before? | 19:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's been a while since I set it up. I believe you have to do it after | 19:41 |
| sabhain | that was it .. stupid gparted .. I should know better than to use that. | 19:51 |
| sabhain | created the raid arrays .. then mkfs'd em .. now things seem pretty good. 500GB raid1 video partition up and running | 19:51 |
| rockhound | hi everyone | 20:05 |
| rockhound | do I need to specify hwac3 or hwdts in the video player command with mplayer? | 20:09 |
| sardiskan | ddgoose...are you back yet? | 20:37 |
| === ddgoose-AFK is now known as ddgoose | ||
| ddgoose | why yes, yes I am :P | 20:37 |
| ddgoose | just rolled in the door | 20:38 |
| ddgoose | have any luck searching around? | 20:38 |
| sardiskan | none | 20:47 |
| sardiskan | I was going to try a fresh install w/ the card in place to see if that fixes it. | 20:47 |
| sardiskan | but I haven't done it yet | 20:47 |
| ddgoose | well I did a little research and am getting conflicting information, on the one hand, mythtv is saying tv wonder works, but all-in-wonder does not, and on the other hand, v4l wiki is saying it does not work.. | 20:50 |
| ddgoose | so I will have to do more digging | 20:50 |
| sardiskan | well I don't have all-in-wonder...I have just the tv wonder | 20:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ddgoose, sardiskan, have you tried asking in #mythtv-users they might actually have someone that uses that card | 20:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that or check the hardware list to see if anyone there uses it in ubuntu | 20:52 |
| sardiskan | I already check the hardware list at http://pvrhw.goldfish.org/tiki-page.php?pageName=pvrhw_tuners | 20:53 |
| sardiskan | TV Wonder is the top used tuner | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sardiskan, that list is very outdated | 20:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | AFAIK, no longer maintained | 20:57 |
| sardiskan | crap | 21:02 |
| sardiskan | damnit and I just bought this card...this is my SECOND freaking tuner card I've tried | 21:02 |
| sardiskan | I can't get it right | 21:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | whats the other card? | 21:06 |
| sardiskan | its a AVerMedia A180 | 21:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 21:08 |
| sardiskan | that card worked in my system...but it wasn't for cable TV | 21:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you happen to check this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Tuner_Card#Cards_that_work | 21:08 |
| sardiskan | or soemthing | 21:08 |
| sardiskan | you see...it says the TV Wonder works | 21:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you just bought that card? | 21:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | how much? | 21:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'd take it back and get something with a hardware encoder | 21:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like a pvr-150 | 21:10 |
| sardiskan | other than being discontinued...the TV Wonder 550 should work | 21:11 |
| sardiskan | well...this one HAS mpeg encoding on it | 21:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 21:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which driver does it use? | 21:13 |
| sardiskan | bttv I think | 21:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sardiskan, error messages? | 21:17 |
| sabhain | yeah .. you want a pvr-150 or 500 | 21:20 |
| sardiskan | nope...no messages | 21:23 |
| ddgoose | The tv wonder 550 is a great card for windows it turns out, but that's not why we are all sitting in here | 21:23 |
| ddgoose | it's too bad you can't just intall the windows driver with some sorta wrapper and have it just work. | 21:25 |
| laga | "have it just work" doesn't sound like "let's insert windows binary blobs into our linux kernel" to me ;) | 21:25 |
| laga | it#s too bad that manufacturers won't release specs or pay someone to write free drivers. | 21:26 |
| ddgoose | yeah that to | 21:26 |
| sardiskan | oh well...newegg is so natzi about returns too | 21:27 |
| sardiskan | always wanting to charge restock fees....AND you loose your shipping costs | 21:27 |
| sardiskan | GAH | 21:27 |
| sardiskan | will the Hauppage PVR-150 work out of the box with mpeg encoding? | 21:27 |
| sabhain | sardiskan .. curious here about how much newegg charged .. and are you using this in a dual boot scenario? | 21:27 |
| sardiskan | no | 21:28 |
| sardiskan | the tvwonder was $40 | 21:28 |
| sardiskan | $50 I mean | 21:28 |
| sardiskan | the PVR-150 is going to run me $60 | 21:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what drivers have you tried loading for it? | 21:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and what steps have you tried troubleshooting it? | 21:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and yes, the PVR-150 works OOB | 21:29 |
| sabhain | oh .. ok. PVR-150 will work right out of the box if you end up going that way .. same with 500 (2 tuners) | 21:29 |
| ddgoose | i just happen to have the pvr-150 so there was no hassle, but I feel for the people who convert to linux and get stuck with having a great windows card that won't work in linux | 21:29 |
| * sabhain has forgotten how frustrating that can be. | 21:30 | |
| ddgoose | I also have this little mid quality emuzed usb that I wish worked with linux, but not gonna happen | 21:30 |
| laga | emuzed? | 21:31 |
| ddgoose | it has onboard mpeg2 it would have been nice for recording low quility archival type stuff | 21:31 |
| ddgoose | yeah they are owned by luminate now | 21:31 |
| laga | ah | 21:31 |
| ddgoose | I use it to record PBS on a 'doze box | 21:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sardiskan, just out of curiousity, what does lspci respond with? | 21:33 |
| ddgoose | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12081/ | 21:33 |
| ddgoose | that | 21:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so it says the device is unknown | 21:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 21:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | have you tried | 21:34 |
| ddgoose | don't get me wrong laga, I am not advocating tainting the kernel with windows code ;) | 21:34 |
| laga | ;) | 21:35 |
| ddgoose | I did some research on it tgm and it has rage audio and stuff so it most likely 'fully' work | 21:35 |
| ddgoose | high chance of not getting audio to work | 21:35 |
| ddgoose | *will not* | 21:36 |
| ddgoose | sorry | 21:36 |
| ddgoose | typing to fast | 21:36 |
| laga | i'm currently pushing a new -fixes build to the weekly fixes repository, for those who are interested. it should be ready in a few hours. | 21:36 |
| ddgoose | sweet | 21:36 |
| sabhain | what about the update of pci devices list? I had that issue before where realtek wasn't found, but some update pci database command solved it. | 21:36 |
| laga | i wish the weekly builds would live up to their name (automagically ;)) | 21:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo modprobe cx88xx | 21:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | laga, they do for me | 21:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if my automagically, you mean by laga | 21:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and if by weekly, you mean monthly | 21:37 |
| * laga stabs tgm4883_laptop with a rusty spork | 21:38 | |
| tgm4883_laptop | sardiskan, do sudo modprobe cx88xx then do lspci -v again | 21:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mmm rust | 21:38 |
| ddgoose | oh yeah, mythmovies is aborken, they moved the webservice url that ignyte uses. | 21:42 |
| ddgoose | dumps you right to the desktop | 21:43 |
| laga | woohoo. ;) | 21:44 |
| * rhpot1991 stabs tgm4883_laptop too | 21:46 | |
| laga | yay | 21:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | :( | 21:48 |

| MythbuntuGuest90 | hello all | 22:46 |
| === MythbuntuGuest90 is now known as Cursor | ||
| tgm4883_laptop | hi | 22:46 |
| === Cursor is now known as MythRookie | ||
| MythRookie | question about installing Mythbuntu, anyone got a minute? | 22:47 |
| MythRookie | specific to LVM | 22:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythRookie, only if you ask it | 22:47 |
| MythRookie | MythDora gives me the option of using all 3 of my 500GB disks as a single 1.5TB logical volume. | 22:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 22:48 |
| MythRookie | MythDora kinda sucks, so I'm trying to do the LVM setup in Mythbuntu | 22:48 |
| MythRookie | but it only lets me set up a single disk during install | 22:48 |
| MythRookie | i'd like to install across all 3 disks if possible | 22:48 |
| MythRookie | if not LVM, maybe software RAID? | 22:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythRookie, i'm not entirely sure why you prefer LVM over say, storage groups, but here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584473 | 22:50 |
| MythRookie | storage groups eh? | 22:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | currently they are for recordings only | 22:51 |
| MythRookie | so maybe I install Mythbuntu on an 80GB disk and set up a storage group across the 3 independent 500GB disks? | 22:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that would work | 22:51 |
| MythRookie | and if one disk dies, i don't lose all of my recordings? | 22:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC, you would lose 1/3 | 22:52 |
| MythRookie | only the recordings on that disk at that time | 22:52 |
| MythRookie | ok, thanks for the head's up | 22:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 22:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's new in MythTV .21 | 22:53 |
| MythRookie | and Mythbuntu 8.04 has the right version of MythTV? | 22:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythTV .22 is supposed to also include storage groups for music and movies | 22:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 22:53 |
| MythRookie | (suppose i could check that myself too) | 22:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Mythbuntu 8.04 has Mythtv .21 | 22:53 |
| MythRookie | thanks again | 22:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no prob | 22:54 |
| MythRookie | i might be back later leeching answers about the diskless setup for the frontend | 22:55 |
| MythRookie | lol | 22:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythRookie, sounds good | 22:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | be sure to bug laga about that ;) | 22:56 |
| MythRookie | cheers! | 22:56 |
| Ward1983 | tgm4883_laptop, was i not clear about my problem? or were you just joking? | 22:57 |
| Ward1983 | tgm4883_laptop, (i'm not native english, its hard for me to explain myself sometimes) | 22:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I was joking, because the first 2 words were messed up cause you had your left hand shifted to the left one key | 22:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your question does make sense though | 22:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I just don't have an answer for you :( | 22:59 |
| Ward1983 | tgm4883_laptop, i didn't notice that lol, i recently changed keyboards and even keyboard layouts so its still a bit confusing sometimes | 22:59 |
| ddgoose | switching xv off will make things slower won't it? | 23:00 |
| Ward1983 | (got a G15 keyboard with my new second hand PC :) ) | 23:00 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, that doesnt mather much, an update caused this so it'll most probably get fixed and then ill change it again | 23:00 |
| Ward1983 | its just for temporary | 23:00 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, and i tested it it played nice and smooth :) | 23:01 |
| Ward1983 | with totem | 23:01 |
| ddgoose | cool | 23:01 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, do you know how i can switch it off in myhtv? | 23:01 |
| ddgoose | for tv or videos? | 23:02 |
| ddgoose | for videos change the mplayer live from -vo xv to -vo x11 | 23:02 |
| ddgoose | not sure on the tv part | 23:02 |
| ddgoose | line* | 23:03 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, for videos, but its also possible the chroma format is wrong | 23:05 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, more likely even | 23:06 |
| Ward1983 | it looks really odd, everything got the wrong colors | 23:06 |
| Ward1983 | ffs lol does nobody know | 23:12 |
| TelnetManta | can anyone tell me how to fix my display from a alt terminal in mythbuntu? | 23:14 |
| TelnetManta | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesnt work for some reason | 23:14 |
| Ward1983 | ddgoose, i found it :) its under manage | 23:29 |
| Ward1983 | owrking fine now | 23:29 |
| Solarbaby | superm1: are you around? | 23:59 |
