[01:21] are you using an IR blaster or a serial connection? [01:21] ir blaster, receiver and blaster, on pvr-150 card [01:22] did you re-run the setup? [01:23] yup a few times, even tried freash install, all :( [01:23] rhpot1991, pong [01:23] even on a fresh install it doesn't work? [01:23] well no [01:23] Egghead2, permission problem? [01:23] well.... [01:23] tgm no [01:24] from bash i run irsend and the channels will change, but it (the script ) will not run from myth [01:24] it like it never gets called [01:24] what if you run the script from the command line? [01:25] i run "/usr/bin/dish1.pl 1 2 2" [01:25] and itll change channels [01:25] are you changing to channel 122? [01:25] oops i ment, i run "/usr/bin/dish1.pl 122" [01:25] ah ok [01:26] that changes channels but wont from mythtv [01:26] whats the backend log say about it? [01:26] not much, well to me, sez it calls lirc and then closes it [01:27] no error [01:27] whats the output of [01:27] ls -l /usr/bin/dish1.pl [01:27] -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1612 2008-05-27 19:10 /usr/bin/dish1.pl [01:28] hmm [01:28] i also call that script in the input section of backend setuo [01:28] what command did you put in mythtv-setup for it to call the script? [01:28] you put the full path? [01:28] "/usr/bin/dish1.pl" [01:29] no quotes :) [01:29] hmm [01:29] looks right to me [01:29] i know, im running out of hair lol [01:29] try changing the owner to mythtv:mythtv [01:29] of the script? [01:29] heres my directv script [01:29] -rwx------ 1 mythtv mythtv 20897 2008-03-06 17:47 directv.pl [01:29] ok [01:30] hmmm, i made the file as root, maybe try remaking file as myth1? [01:31] no you shouldn't need to remake the file [01:31] just [01:31] itll run from myth1 bash [01:31] sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /usr/bin/dish1.pl [01:31] hmm [01:31] cool ill try it [01:32] nope [01:33] hmm [01:33] pastebin your backend.log [01:34] also tried -rwx------ 1 mythtv mythtv 1612 2008-05-27 19:10 /usr/bin/dish1.pl [01:34] ok brb [01:36] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15192/ [01:38] Egghead2, where do you get your channel data from? [01:39] and where do you live? [01:39] florida, usa [01:39] and thru the defaul, i forget the name of the chnnl service [01:40] schedules direct? [01:40] yup thats it [01:40] ok [01:40] 2 things you need to check [01:40] first, go to mythweb [01:40] then go to listing [01:40] ok, ill have to install it [01:40] i dont think it is [01:41] Egghead2, it should be by default [01:41] on your backend [01:41] try [01:41] ok [01:41] backendip/mythweb [01:41] ok, @ listing [01:41] ok [01:41] make sure you have a channel 122 in there [01:42] also, how is your dish box hooked up to your pc? [01:42] its there, sez sci fi, but then next to it no data [01:42] thru the svideo [01:42] ok [01:43] do all your channels have no data or just that one? [01:43] Anyone have any luck configuring an HP media center remote with mythbuntu? [01:43] yes [01:43] Egghead2, yes? [01:43] tgm, yes [01:43] all chnls have no data nect to them [01:44] just chnnl number and name [01:44] Egghead2, ok [01:44] hmm [01:44] Egghead2, have you run mythfilldatabase? [01:44] no i havent [01:44] try running that [01:45] ok [01:45] When I run lsusb I see a Hewlett-Packard device but nothing else that looks like a remote, shouldn't the remote show up as a Philips? [01:45] once thats done try testing it again [01:45] GeraldNunn, do you have a link to the remote? [01:45] ok will do, thanks tgm [01:46] GeraldNunn, your remote won't show up in lsusb, only your ir receiver will [01:47] It's the remote that comes out of the box with HP computers, Vista shows it as a ehome remote [01:47] Here is a picture if it helps http://www.trustedreviews.com/images/article/inline/3932-remote.jpg [01:48] When I run irw I get the message 'Connection Refused' which I think implies the device is not there. I've configured mythbuntu for the newer philips remote [01:50] Also I'm running mythbuntu 8.0.4 [02:02] OK, I hink I understand lsusb now, te IR rceiver is from Fomosa [02:02] Bus 004 Device 004: ID 147a:e018 Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc. [02:02] Question though still is why isn't it working? [02:03] GeraldNunn, it would seem that the receiver needs different modules [02:03] sec [02:06] GeraldNunn, what verson of lirc do you have installed? [02:08] lircd 0.8.3pre1 [02:08] hmm [02:08] I think I found the problem [02:09] let me see if I can get some verification [02:09] how savvy are you in linux? [02:09] Thanks, I appreciate the help [02:10] Not that savy but I am technical, my day job is developing in Java and j2ee [02:10] ah [02:11] would you have a problem with compiling the lirc from source? [02:11] Nope, already had to compile and install the realtek network drivers for the 8168 card to fx a problem with it [02:11] alright [02:11] let me give you a link to what I think is the problem [02:11] http://www.nabble.com/Setting-up-USB-remote-receiver-td17033448.html [02:12] basically the ir receiver isn't recognized as needing the mceusb2 module [02:12] not until lirc 0.8.3~pre3 [02:13] D'oh, I'm two e versions too early. Thanks or the tip, I'll give it a go [02:13] I usually try to stay away from compiling from source, but I'm not seeing any other way [02:15] I've found instructions on it previously so I'll gve it a go, thanks for the help [02:16] np, good luck [02:17] tgm, mythfilldatabase finished, still doesnt change chnnels, also mythweb list errors out with: [02:17] Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes) in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/tv/includes/objects/Program.php on line 291 [02:34] tgm, i found the problem, user-head-gap, i set the "preset tuner to channel" box to 122, i guess this should be left blank [02:35] tgm, but thanks foryour help [02:40] how do i tell if i am getting a signal from my cable box through firewire? dmesg reports getting a GUID, but i have no video on mythtv using the firewire input [03:00] I was goofing around and managed to get the application bar stuck at the top of the screen. I cannot find how to get rid of it.... [03:07] I didn't have "display mythtv in a window" [03:24] MythbuntuGuest41, you need to go into the screen setup wizard in the frontend and reset it to defaults [03:24] that is most likely what happened [03:24] IIRC, there is a bug about it [03:28] that did it, thanks [03:29] p [03:29] np [03:37] tgm4883_laptop: Thanks for the earlier assistance with my remote, however I compiled 0.8.3 of lirc (it was just released) and still no joy [03:37] no irw joy? [03:37] :( [03:38] try modprobing mceusb2 [03:39] If I run 'modprobe mceusb2' I get no module mceusb2 found [03:40] sorry, lirc_mceusb2 [03:41] Weird, with 'modprobe lirc_mceusb2' it doesn't show anything, shouldn't it fail or show the module? [03:42] Also, in /etc/init.d I have just a lirc script here, shouldn't lircd be here instead? [03:43] nope [03:43] I don't believe so [03:43] try irw now [03:43] OK, I just see people refering to running /etc/init.d/lircd restart instead of lirc [03:44] those people are crazy ;) [03:44] Still get 'Connection Refused' [03:44] hmm [03:44] restart lirc, then try irw, i'm going to look something up [03:44] Looking at the system/modules/lirc I see everything dated today [03:46] When I restart, it says 'FAIL' for stopping but OK for restart. Also irw just drops me back to the command line on the first try and then says 'Connection Refused' on the second try [03:46] hmm [03:47] ok [03:47] try this [03:47] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop [03:48] run this [03:48] sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -n [03:48] hopefully you should get some errors [03:49] The stop still returns a [fail], the -n command hangs the prompt, should I break out of it? [03:50] doesn't respond with anything? [03:50] open another terminal [03:50] and try irw [03:50] Sorry yes it does, I get lircd-0.8.3pre1[23065]: lircd(userspace) ready [03:50] hmm [03:50] Whoops, isn't that the wrong version [03:50] it would appear so [03:51] When I run irw in another terminal I get this and then it breaks out [03:51] lircd-0.8.3pre1[23065]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd [03:51] lircd-0.8.3pre1[23065]: could not open /dev/lirc [03:51] lircd-0.8.3pre1[23065]: default_init(): No such device [03:51] lircd-0.8.3pre1[23065]: caught signal [03:52] interesting [03:52] i'm thinking that we need the new version of lirc to load [03:53] then it will work Hopefully [03:53] OK, how do I do that? [03:53] irw seems to be crashing because it doesn't know you have a ir receiver [03:53] what does apt-get remove lirc try to uninstall? [03:55] root@linux-media-pc:~# apt-get remove lirc [03:55] Reading package lists... Done [03:55] Building dependency tree [03:55] Reading state information...

[03:55] After this operation, 3191kB disk space will be freed. [03:56] I'm not sure I should remove lirc if strips out all that other stuff, what do you think? [03:57] Or I suppose I could remove it and then add the non lirc packages back in [03:57] BTW, I just started setting this up so if we hose it and I start from scratch no big deal [03:57] GeraldNunn, sec, i'm discussing with another dev [04:02] GeraldNunn, post the output of 'ls /dev/lirc*' [04:05] GeraldNunn, alright [04:05] lets go ahead and remove lirc [04:05] but [04:05] do it this way [04:06] Here is what I get for the ls command [04:06] /dev/lirc /dev/lircd /dev/lircm [04:06] sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc [04:06] then we can add in the other stuff it removes later [04:06] but lets do that first [04:06] are you doing this via ssh? [04:07] Nope, I'm on the machine. Using the default terminal mythbuntu has in xfce [04:07] ok [04:07] Got an error trying to remove lirc [04:07] dpkg - warning: while removing lirc, directory `/etc/lirc' not empty so not removed. [04:07] ok [04:08] Sorry, warning, I guess I can ignore it [04:08] that probably because we already compiled lirc [04:08] hmm [04:08] BTW also it tried to stop lirc when removing it and failed [04:09] ok [04:09] GeraldNunn, try stopping lirc then [04:09] ctrl c out of it from the terminal [04:10] Maybe I am an idiot but what do you mean ctrl c out of it from the terminal, I'm not running a process in the terminal. The apt-get remove finished, just had those messages [04:10] we started it in a terminal via /usr/sbin/lircd -n [04:11] otherwise try sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop [04:11] Sorry, that stopped when I ran irw, I pasted the output rom that above [04:11] ah ok [04:12] we are also going to need to forcibly remove everything from /etc/lirc [04:12] then recompile [04:12] this is one of those instances where we need to run [04:13] OK, /etc/lirc deleted and removed [04:13] rm -rf /etc/lirc [04:13] the whole thing is gone? [04:13] sweet [04:13] There was only one file in it, hardware.conf.something, looked like a backup. Maybe it was write protected? [04:14] lets do a sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc one more time [04:14] just to be sure it's gone [04:14] trying to work from a clean slate [04:14] Looks fine, here is the result [04:14] Reading package lists... Done [04:14] Building dependency tree [04:14] Reading state information...

[04:14] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 59 not upgraded. [04:15] alright [04:15] looks good, lets recompile it now [04:16] OK, when I compiled I ran '../setup.sh' followed by 'make' and 'make install'. In the setup I pick the USB remote and the new Philips remote o get the mceusb2 driver. Anything else I need to do? [04:16] I think that should be it [04:17] Doing it now... [04:17] OK all done [04:18] ok [04:18] lets try modprobing lirc_mceusb2 again [04:18] err [04:18] Do I need to start it first? [04:19] depmod lirc_mceusb2 [04:19] then modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [04:19] yea start it [04:19] then we can try irw [04:19] and hopefully I haven't failed you [04:19] root@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3# depmod lirc_mceusb2 [04:19] WARNING: Can't read module lirc_mceusb2: No such file or directory [04:20] root@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3# modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [04:20] FATAL: Module lirc_mceusb2 not found. [04:20] Seems like there is still a problem, maybe I'm missing something when compiling? [04:21] BTW, when I run the setup.sh, I am doing the save and run configuration option which should set things up for the make command right? [04:22] 2 questions [04:22] first, why are you logged on as root [04:23] secondly, is your root account actually root [04:23] I'm lazy, instead of typing sudo all the time I just switched to root using sudo -s temporarily [04:23] I lied, 3rd question. try [04:23] sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [04:23] root@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3# sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [04:23] FATAL: Module lirc_mceusb2 not found. [04:24] hmm [04:24] And you could be right that root is not actually root, let me try recompiling again [04:26] No difference, depmod still fails [04:26] gerald@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3$ sudo depmod lirc_mceusb2 [04:26] WARNING: Can't read module lirc_mceusb2: No such file or directory [04:26] yea I noticed that too [04:26] try [04:26] sudo rmmod lirc_mceusb2 [04:27] Just went right back to command prompt on that one [04:27] root@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3# sudo rmmod lirc_mceusb2 [04:27] I think* that is a good thing [04:28] now modprobe it [04:28] gerald@linux-media-pc:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.3$ sudo modprobe lirc_mceusb2 [04:28] FATAL: Module lirc_mceusb2 not found. [04:32] I could try the apt-get remove again, when you do this should the module be removed from /sys/modules? [04:32] well the apt-get remove should only remove things installed by apt [04:32] which since we are compiling it isn't there anymore [04:33] Oh, ok [04:33] just for fun, lets try rebooting [04:33] OK, back in a second [04:41] tgm4883_laptop: Well maybe rebooting wasn't a great idea, I lost the network driver and nvidia driver. I assume this because of the things that got uninstalled when we removed those other packages [04:41] Should I run depmod now? [04:44] I still get the no file or directory error [04:47] Hey tgm4883_laptop, not sure if you saw my earlier message but my system got a little hosed with the reboot as I lost network and video [04:48] GeraldNunn, what we removed shouldn't have had any effect on that [04:49] I'm surprised too, there used to be this Hardware Driver applet in the System folder that showed my network driver and realtek network driver. It's gone now along with those items [04:51] Sorry, actually the 'Hardware Driver' applet is there but it's not showing my other drivers anymore. Anyways, I'll have to call it a night. [04:51] If you have an in with the [04:52] GeraldNunn, i'll ask around. See whats up with that and find out if lirc is going to be backported [04:52] Damn keyboard, I was going to suggest that if you have an in with the MythBuntu developers maybe you could get them to make lirc 0.83 available in the package manager since it was released in early May [04:52] heh, i'll see what i can do ;) [04:52] Thanks again for the help, I learned tons which is useful in of itself. Have a good night === Penfold_ is now known as Penfold [12:40] hello all [12:41] could someone please tell me how i can setup a remote to work on Mythbuntu? [12:42] anyone please [12:42] its not working correctly [12:42] whats the best setting for generic brands [12:43] like Twinhan [12:59] hello anyone here [13:12] hello anyone here [15:50] Sorry, failed to fetch http://localhost:6544/xml. why? [15:56] darthanubis, when do you get that error? [15:57] often, no rhyme or reason [15:57] just in my email [15:57] in your email? from the mythserver? [15:57] yes [15:57] it sends an email to root [15:57] or my user [15:59] this is the master backend [15:59] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475106 [16:00] check that out .. are you running the latest version of everything? [16:01] yes [16:01] always [16:02] I'm going o take a look at the script now [16:03] add --host=$HOST to this /usr/bin/mythtv-status --email $EMAIL $EMAIL_ARGS? [16:05] and there is no remote host [16:06] anymore [16:06] maybe I need to run mythtv-setup and clear the remote host option? [20:04] anybody tried to compile the latest v4l-dvb drivers with 8.04? [20:06] I'm having trouble getting the saa7134-alsa module to compile [21:36] anybody? [22:50] I have an error on my mythbox...I set some movies to transcode...and I get this error in the status window [22:50] exit status 255, job status was "errored"
