[00:16] I really hate Lirc [00:38] sorry important phone call [00:39] anyone have their remote set to restart (or start) their frontend in xfce? [00:40] Egghead2: I think I got it [00:40] Solarbaby, yes its driving me crazy, but it was a short drive, lol [00:40] tgm4883_laptop: I'd like to do that.. I think that requires a irxevent but i dont know much about that just yet [00:41] Egghead2: its controlling most buttons in both XBMC and Mythtv Frontend now.. I will soon test whether it is correctly controlling my satalite box real soon [00:41] Solarbaby, irexec will do it and I have it working in gnome [00:41] just not xfce [00:41] tgm4883_laptop: my bad.. xfce would be a nicer choice yes? [00:42] well yes thats the default in mythbuntu [00:42] makes sense [00:42] it works on my desktop but something strange happens on my frontend only [00:42] I want to configure a button on my reqmote to alt tab from mythtv frontend to XBMC frontend [00:43] of course I can put that at the end of my to do list, but ultimately very nice thing indeed [00:43] tgm4883_laptop, if you get it going let me know, id love to be able to restart the fe from the remote control [00:43] will do [00:43] me too.. [00:43] looks like after im done with all this hell.. im going to have to write up a new howto [00:44] it helps me remember what I did to make this god awful lirc work [00:44] right noiw every crash i have to fireup the lappy and vnc into that box :( [00:44] hehe i have a bunch of notes too, lol too many [00:45] gotta get some food, bbl [00:45] Egghead2: lemme knwo if I can help you later get it working [00:46] Egghead2: if theres anything I can do [00:47] ok will do, i think im gonna try and uninstall the lirc again on the backend one more time :) [00:47] chances are hardware.conf is screwed up [00:47] thats always a biggy [00:47] yea maybe, had a hella time getting blaster to work [00:48] usb uirt here [00:48] ok cya later, off to get some food [00:48] and yeah.. took a while [00:48] l8r [00:48] just cause im used to saying it.. I wanna say it again.. I hate lirc [00:59] Solarbaby, Egghead2 seems that it may be working now [01:00] tgm4883_laptop: irrecord seems to record every other button on this remote [01:00] gonna go watch some tv before I destroy things, I'll be around later [01:34] tgm4883_laptop: very good news :) [01:46] do i need to set something so my myth client knows where the server is? i keep getting "could not connect to the master backend server -- is it running? is the ip address set for it in the setup program correct?" [01:48] if its a backend you might want to enable Mysql Service in the Mythbuntu Control Center [01:50] i enabled the mysql service on my backend cause i can connect to it using the "test connection", but my frontend is apparently having problems figuring out what computer it's supposed to connect to [01:50] ah yah.. Im installing for the first time in 6 months myself.. when I get to that point i'll be sure to yell out at ya.. sounds like you might be a little further along then I [01:56] i wonder if i'm supposed to hardcode the ip address rather than use the computer's name [01:56] always try everything.. [01:58] I'd use the IP if you could [01:58] thats how I have always done [02:02] use the ip [02:04] ok, is there someplace i need to change it other than /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt ? [02:04] oh no.. it appears that the Plextor ConvertX might be difficult to setup [02:05] I thought that would be the easiest part [02:06] I was betting on plug and play.. [02:17] ok, this is weird... no matter what i seem to change i keep getting this error - "Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543" [02:17] or message rather [02:20] http://paste2.org/p/28720 [02:29] ok, where or how do i set the master server settings? [02:36] it seems im out of luck using the Plextor 402u in hardy :( [02:37] if anyone knows different please let me know.. this is dissapointing [02:41] plextor? [02:42] ah, that's why it sounds familiar [02:52] I'm having audio issues...the sound is VERY low. [02:53] also, the volume controls do not affect the volume on LiveTV at all [02:53] or the DVD [03:01] does NFS get automatically set up for sharing stuff? [03:13] is anyone else using a Plextor ConvertX 402u? [03:20] yo? [03:22] anybody have streamzap? [03:42] it's [03:42] so [03:42] hot [03:42] * tgm4883_laptop dies from the heat [04:51] howdy [05:02] i finally got a new error in my frontend... it's now giving me a difference in protocol error... yay for different packages between gutsy & hardy? [05:32] what error? [05:54] ddgoose: thank god I finally got that lirc thing worked out [05:54] oh cool [05:54] ddgoose: now the next big hurdle is that my Plextor 402u isn't supported by the Kernel [05:54] what was the answer? [05:54] so recording will not be possible until I figure out that whole mess or replace the recording device [05:55] ddgoose: probably just badly formated conf files [05:56] ddgoose: and lircrc needed to be setup right.. same with a configuration file in XBMC.. I got the whole show working now.. It broadcasts to the Dish Network tuner.. It listens for remote codes for Mythttv Frontend.. and it also listens to the same Remote for XBMC [05:57] I'll have to configure the remote to load and unload each frontend [05:57] that'd be sweet [05:57] the m402u should work [05:57] Possibly a simple Alt Tab might be enough.. Im not certain it might get messy with the remote [05:57] im using 8.04 and theres no Kernel support, unless you know how to apply the patches? [05:58] I spent a few hours on it and just gave up for now.. Im not good with that stuff [05:58] Im simply amazed I was able to come out on top with Lirc [06:00] http://home.comcast.net/~bender647/go7007/ I went here and saw there are patches.. but I followed the limited instructions and found myself no closer [06:03] pretty small patch [06:03] only a few changes [06:04] ok, how do i get mythbuntu to detect a network card? [06:05] what card? [06:05] not sure, it's a laptop... i used to run debian on it... i mounted the drive in terminal & checked etc/modules on it & it doesn't list anything for the lan [06:06] i know it worked cause i was using it as a backup file & test server [06:06] is it running now? [06:06] box is currently on, i've got mythbuntu live cd running & / from old box mounted as /media/sda6 [06:07] open terminal, run "sudo lshw" paste output to paste.ubuntu.com [06:07] post link in here [06:08] heh, that's gonna be somewhat hard considering it's not connected to the network ;) or do you want me to boot up the old debian? [06:08] yeah that works [06:11] ddgoose: did you take a look at that url? is that something you understand more then I? [06:13] ddgoose: or should I ditch this and get another piece of hardware that is way better? [06:14] ddgoose: its intended use is for a laptop [06:17] wow theres 50 different url's of my in google via irc and forums [06:18] wait.. make that 50 pages of me in urls [06:18] google is incredible [06:26] ddgoose> http://paste2.org/p/28783 [06:27] i see *-network at the bottom [06:33] pcimodules shows e100 & eepro100 [06:35] sorry had to step out for a minute [06:36] np, watching something i missed [06:38] k reboot to live cd and do "sudo lsmod| grep eepro100" [06:38] tell me if you get output [06:39] also do the lshw thing again and see if its listed in there with and ethernet interface designated [06:39] like logical name: eth0 [06:48] superm1: I miss you [06:50] ddgoose> nothing on lsmod for eepro100, lshw came up with an eth0 [06:50] hmm might be loading e100 [06:50] but sounds like you have an interface [06:51] what does ifconfig show? [06:51] did lshw | less & searched for eth & yes, driver=e100 & it's showing an ip address [06:52] ok so try ping google.com [06:52] is the ip proper for your network? [06:52] ifconfig seems to return expected & pinging google works [06:53] this is on livecd right? [06:53] yes [06:53] so its working :) [06:54] seems to be, but last time it wasn't letting me modify anything in networkmanager... ah, now it is... [06:54] i'm betting the reboot fixed it [06:54] glitch I guess [06:55] at least now you know what to do next time you run into that [07:34] ok... next question is tv-out... ;) it seems it wants to disable it & i'm not sure how to enable it... the opensource driver doesn't want to allow it & there isn't an intel or ati option [07:35] meh, i'll install & hope after reboot it'll want to install the ati binary [08:34] ok, i don't think this is good - "The ext3 file system creation in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed." [11:37] is there somewhere that has a list of supported hardware for mythbuntu... I'm building a box, and want to make sure I get well supported tv card, vfd's, remote etc [11:37] ? [11:41] there's a thread in the forums. i'm not sure if it has seen many updates for 8.04 [12:15] my backend is sharing certain directories for mythtv via nfs... do i need to mount those on my client in order to be able to watch videos i've recorded? [12:16] no [12:24] what about for dvds ripped on the server & such? [12:24] you'll have to use NFS for those [12:24] (or cifs, whatever floats your boat :)) [12:27] not sure what the diff is, but guessing both are better than samba [12:29] cifs is samba, i think. more or less. ;) [12:30] i haven't used that stuff in ages so i'm not up to date === MythbuntuGuest08 is now known as drmouse === drmouse is now known as drmouse81 [12:38] Hello all [12:39] anybody have a suggestion on a lightweight theme? [12:40] I have a problem that is currently bugging me. I have a cheap USB remote which appears as a HID kbd. I need to, somehow, stop it from being used as a keyboard, so that I can use it just though LIRC. Anyone know how? [12:41] pteague: regarding memory? iulius [12:42] drmouse81: i believe lirc can do that somehow. but i don't know how. inputlirc might be a good alternative. [12:42] install it and then read the man page, it can probably do everything you need [12:44] I have configured lirc, used irrecord to map the buttons then specified it in the mythbuntu controll panel using the dev/input driver and my irrecord-generated config file. but it is still being seen as a keyboard, so the key presses are coming through rather than the events defined in .mythtv/lircrc [12:46] oh, actualy, might a reboot help? just thought of that. I am used to linux not needing reboots (use it on servers all the time) [12:46] maybe X needs to be restarted. [12:46] laga: right, brb, i'll try that [12:48] ugh [12:48] so boring [12:48] i wish i had some weed [12:49] somoenhere know of any good ways to export the sorted mythtv channels [12:49] you live in .nl [12:49] go buy some [12:49] besides, keep this channel family-freindly. only talk about booze ;) [12:50] hehe [12:51] alcohol kills more people [12:53] there's a song about a guy who was killed when a shipment of weed was dropped on him. tragic. === MythbuntuGuest75 is now known as drmouse81 [12:53] ahahahahahah [12:53] yeah [12:53] still [12:53] writing documentation is SO DAMN TEDIOUS [12:53] yes. [12:54] grr. nope mythtv still picks up SHIFT-CTRL- for play [12:54] drmouse81 them just edit ~/.mythtv/lircrc to use shift-ctrl for play [12:55] drmouse81: i wonder if you need to specify the correct device for lirc [12:55] famicom: too true. documentation is the worst part of my job, specialy as it has to be written for retards [12:55] drmouse81 i know [12:55] I hate doing it [12:55] i'm thinking of getting some good hash, blaze a bit [12:56] then just get it over with [12:56] laga: that could be the reason. D'OH! just looked in mythbuntu controll panel and it has no device specified!! [12:57] well that's just silly [12:59] OK maybe I'm not a retard. just entered all the settings and after it finished applying them EVERYTHING has disappeard from the mythbuntu ctrl panel ir cfg [12:59] dang, i'm not seeing static or animated map in the weather plugin for my area... what kind of lousy plugin doesn't have a map of my area? ;) [13:00] wow [13:00] even my suburb has a map [13:00] you really must live in single cowville usa [13:02] lol [13:02] nope, i live in the biggest city in... the 2 states that it's in [13:03] binary city? [13:03] kansas city... it's a big cow town... they'd drive cattle here from texas to get to the train yards [13:04] actualy, quantum city. two states at once [13:04] hehe [13:04] it sprawls across kansas & missouri borders [13:06] hmm... maybe i should check oklahoma & see if there's a map for there... the region map tends to show oklahoma, kansas, missouri, & nebraska [13:06] anybody know what the 'menu' key is on a keyboard? [13:07] pteague: windows kbd right of right-win-key? [13:07] hehe [13:07] doesn't seem to work in mythbuntu client [13:11] Ah, wait a minute. What module should I be using in lirc? [13:13] YAY irw now at least picks up the keypresses. Its just its picking them all up as the same. D'OH [13:15] No wonder. My irrecord'ed file has all keypresses as 0x00! [13:17] you think i could run the frontend on just x ? [13:17] pteague: a window manager is usually better to avoid focus problems [13:18] k, i'll mess with icewm... i think that's lighter than xfce [13:21] hehe... there's a bit of lag between live & what's on backend/frontend [13:22] i'm watching tv on my normal tv & just got the client running on my laptop [13:33] this is so cool... this is better than seeing moving pictures on a computer screen! oh wait... =) [13:59] >:( [14:00] irrecord just keeps returning 0x0 for every button! [14:00] i have now nearly finished a full pack of cigs too. I HATE COMPUTERS! [14:19] drmouse81 [14:19] smoke weed [14:20] If it wasnt for drugs I wouldn't be able to write these god4mn kernel patches [14:26] famicom: i used to. stopped when I left university. now I just keep a bit by the bed to knock me out when I cant sleep. [14:27] find it tends to make me do nothing for hours on end [14:27] then i wonder why i havent done anything i needed to. [14:28] ah [14:28] I allways get really really motivated [14:29] drmouse81: stop smoking completely :) [14:29] someone shoot me please. i'm going to shop for shoes in half an hour. [14:30] with the GF. [14:30] laga shoot her instead [14:30] aww :( [14:31] i guess i got it easy [14:31] my girlfriend is a complete hesher [14:31] so we both have the same taste in clothes [14:31] PLUS [14:32] she's somewhat of a submissive girl in bed [14:32] so if she tries that stuff on me [14:32] i just take a very firm strong stand [14:32] and tell her no [14:32] :) [14:32] so instead of shopping i get laid [14:33] "hesher". interesting word. :) [14:34] laga: do what my bro does. his gf doesnt take him shopping anymore. he calls into every pub he passes and downs a pint. sometimes sneaks out of the shop and has a drink. so he ends up wasted. she doesnt like that, so doesnt take him. [14:35] UGH [14:35] alchohol == devil juice [14:36] famicom: you'll have to admit it's a good method to avoid shopping. [14:36] and btw, you're a bunch of weird guys. [14:36] ;) [14:36] by weird you mean FRIGGIN AWESOME [14:37] lol [14:37] yes [14:37] and by yes i mean no [14:37] yeah well [14:37] in that case [14:37] i think you are a great person [14:37] and I'm sure we could be friends [14:38] laga: try it. it didnt work for me (gf still dragged me round, then bollocked me) but it still made the shopping more fun. [14:45] drmouse81: i rarely drink [14:46] stopped smoking, reduced drinking a lot.. guess i've become boring ;) [15:12] Has anyone been successful in watching livetv over firewire from a SA4250hd STB? I believe that my configuration is working correctly as i can record from the STB manually and it works great its just the live tv that does not. [15:17] Has anyone been successful in watching livetv over firewire from a SA4250hd STB?

[15:30] hello? [15:36] hello? [15:50] irw gets it's info from lircd right? [15:59] bob2600: sorry i have no idea [16:00] its ok i'm pretty much stumped as well lol [16:26] hi @ all [16:27] howdy [16:27] ;) [16:27] howdy dude [16:27] how are ya ? [16:27] doing good, just woke up and its nice and sunny [16:28] hui [16:28] where you from? [16:28] Seattle, Wa [16:28] oh i see [16:29] you slept well and long , have you been out yesterday ?

[16:29] -8 [16:29] oh [16:29] pardon [16:29] ;) [16:30] I'm on the west coast :) [16:30] uuh [16:30] okidok [16:30] so then , good morning [16:32] do you use emulators with mythgames ? ddgoose [16:33] on a 64 system ? [16:33] no just i386 [16:33] why? having issues? [16:33] shame on these emus , i dont get them all work on x64 [16:34] yeah, issues with ePSXe , zsnes , and mupen64 [16:34] packages or source built? [16:35] and issues with my second dvb-t card (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1300 DVB-T/Hybrid MPEG Encoder) [16:35] i dont find packages for x64 so i tried to build [16:39] so what was wrong with the build? [16:40] zsnes , does configure fine , but it doesnt whant to "make" it says something like wrong or not supported CPU [16:43] i dont find the value to setup correct for my CPU [16:49] hmm [16:54] what configure options did you use? [16:55] i dont remember , let me look [17:04] try ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [17:12] error [17:13] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216716/ [17:24] are you on an Athlon 64?

[17:35] sorry for my english [17:36] by the way [17:50] brb = be right back [17:55] oh , ok [17:55] :) [17:58] Ultimately I think this is your answer -> http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9122 [17:58] are you compilimg to get a certain version? like 1.51? [18:00] compiling even [18:00] thx , will have a look at it [18:00] also -> http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216731/ will get you what you need [18:02] wait i have done : dpkg -i -force-arch for an zsnses package i386, it is installed [18:04] what a shame :http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216736/ [18:05] yeah to get the one that doesnt deg I think you need to follow that last paste [18:05] and install the znes32 [18:05] when i start with filename , then i get : File opened successfully ! before segmentation fault [18:05] deg ??? [18:06] seg fault [18:06] typo [18:06] soory i drunk beer ....... wants again please , and in other words , when possible [18:06] touch typing while watching tv causes bad output :P [18:07] if you add that apt source and install the zsnes32 instead of just zsnes, it should work [18:08] witch apt source ? : http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9122 : there is none [18:10] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216731/ [18:18] hmn [18:18] http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216744/ [18:29] As far I get it, the only component you can have too much of is the GPU, right ? [18:29] huh? [18:30] I mean, it's better to invest in a better CPU than a good GPU, right ? [18:30] since people seem fine with nvidia 6000's [18:32] That's probably fair to say. My nVidia 6150 does what I need it to do for mythv, and I don't use the machine for gaming, or other things that might require a better GPU. [18:34] why does it say 822-date in that line -> http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216744/#code-l10 [18:34] you didn't get the gpg key because the command didn't complete [18:35] should be just "wget http://packages.dfreer.org/5A22BD68.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -" [18:35] tritium: what's your system look like ? [18:53] nice [18:54] ok, where is the mythfrontend icon located at? [18:54] applications->multimedia [18:55] i'm looking for the xpm, png, or whatever [18:57] the actual icon, I see [18:59] -> /usr/share/mythtv/themes/blue/ [19:00] myth_tv_logo.png [19:02] * agamotto bows [19:02] Hallo all [19:03] * agamotto waves [19:09] bob2600: what happens with your live tv? [19:09] you might nee to just swith the input if you have others [19:10] or you may be hitting channels that are encrypted and then your firewire either hangs or crashes myth [19:10] disable those channels then [19:14] Hi Has anybody used the "install mythbuntu" link to add mythbuntu to ubuntu? I used it, but I'm not being able to launch mythtv setup off mythbuntu control center [19:15] i did : wget http://packages.dfreer.org/5A22BD68.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - but it didnt stop [19:15] !!! [19:15] ddgoose: [19:18] hmm [19:18] works fine for me [19:20] try again maybe [19:30] so you just clicked on the link, ubuntu was upgraded to mythbuntu and you were able to launch the setup? [19:30] I am trying to build a server backend and I am trying to understand what CPU (the most important component apparently) is fir for the job [19:30] is fit for the job* [19:31] because the mythbuntu page has examples, but it only says vague things like "3GHz cpu" [19:50] thnx for all ddgoose [19:50] CU @ ALL [19:50] o/ [20:01] * agamotto twiddles [20:02] Anyone very smart who feels like helping a lost soul in the journey that is mythbuntu? [20:04] I will attempt to help with what I know... the others seem to have no ability to speak... at least not in the last couple of days [20:06] So ask away... [20:08] I got this Pundit BB that I'm trying to convert into a mediacenter. Now, the problem is that I don't have a flatscreen telly, but a more old fashioned one, hooked up with s-video. That's all good and that, but I can't make it use 50 hz and defaults to 60, so it flickers constantly. I can also only choose 60 hz. [20:08] And I don't seem to be able to find a way to configure my telly while it's hooked up to a monitor I got laying about [20:08] trillex: PAL? [20:08] Yep [20:08] It's set to PAL-Danish [20:09] What is set to PAL-D [20:09] Somewhere I could change it from NTSC [20:10] TV format in general settings [20:10] Ahhh, ok, you made it that far [20:10] Everything is installed and it seems to be working alright on my monitor, but the TV is just flickering away [20:10] If your tv-out is PAL-D, then you shouldn't be having any problems with flicker [20:10] Ahhh, I see. What kind of telly? [20:11] An old hitachi 28" widescreen. [20:11] Hmmm, Pal-D format, or something else? [20:12] Should be. I can also try to just set it to PAL [20:12] 50 hz [20:13] That might do do the trick. When I lived in the UK, I remember having one telly that I had to set to Pal-K for some reason [20:13] Also, does your telly have a VGA input? [20:13] Nah, too old for that. 2 scart plugs, RGB on the side and a Antenna plug [20:14] RGB.... three separate color round bits? [20:14] I'm using an s-video cable with a color fix on the end for color. It works properly on my main computer (this one) but if I plug it in with colorfix on, it flickers. Without it doesn't. [20:14] Yeah [20:15] anyone knows, when I browse HD content with mythstream on my TV (reso set to 800x600) if I want to go fullscreen, my screen stays black [20:15] I wonder if the color fix is also trying to mess with the scan rate [20:15] So I'm thinking it COULD be something with the gfx [20:15] card [20:15] That does sound like a good possibility.... what card? [20:15] Onboard SiS 651 [20:16] Impossible to find drivers on [20:16] Hmmmm, don't know much about that [20:16] Have you had much luck putting your programs onto DVDs? [20:16] I was thinking of just grabbing a cheap PCI [20:17]
