ahavehello, can anyone help me configure MTD to work with mythtv/mythdvd?00:19
tgm4883_laptopahave, should work out of box00:22
ahavetgm4883_laptop, hello again.00:23
ahavetgm4883_laptop, well. I get a 'No Jobs. Checking and/or waiting for DVD.'00:23
ahaveI setup a symbolic link to my /media/cdrom (dvd drive) in order to play DVDs - which works fine.. should this also effect the dvd rip process?00:24
tgm4883_laptopahave, I don't remember of hand if there is a different location for the ripping info, i'll check when I get home though00:26
ahaveok, thanks00:27
ahavetgm4883_laptop, is there a way to check a log file to see why the rip is not working? mythfrontend.log does not seem to catch it01:05
tgm4883_laptopis there any reason that xfs should just break and the os no longer recognize what xfs is?02:25
tgm4883_laptopso who in here is a linux guru?02:32
tgm4883_laptopcause I got a problem for you02:32
foxbuntutgm4883_laptop, have you tried xfsrepair from a livecd?02:35
tgm4883_laptopfoxbuntu, not yet02:37
tgm4883_laptopwhole thing is appearing to freak out02:37
tgm4883_laptopi just did a shutdown -r now and it's still trying to shutdown02:38
tgm4883_laptopappears to have hung02:38
foxbuntumine did that when one of my drives died02:38
tgm4883_laptopI don't think it's the drive though02:38
tgm4883_laptopas it's a single drive that holds that partition and root02:38
tgm4883_laptopand recordings are on another drive02:38
tgm4883_laptopIt's not doing crap right now, i'd hate to have to hit the power button02:39
foxbuntuI think your going to have to, and I also think your drive is nearing its end02:39
tgm4883_laptopfoxbuntu, do I really need to run xfsrepair from the live cd?02:40
tgm4883_laptopI think the xfs progs are still available02:40
tgm4883_laptopbleh, just did a reisub reset02:40
foxbuntuyou cant run them on a mounted volume02:40
tgm4883_laptopfoxbuntu, the xfs ones wont mount02:40
tgm4883_laptopso I guess i'm ok then02:40
foxbuntuyou can try02:40
tgm4883_laptopis there a way to kill the usplash while booting?02:41
foxbuntunot that I am aware02:41
hadsIf you remove quiet from the boot line in grub,02:41
hadserm, splash02:42
tgm4883_laptopyea i'm getting "mount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs' " during boot02:42
foxbuntutgm4883_laptop, thats really odd02:42
tgm4883_laptopi know02:42
foxbuntudid you upgrade kernels recently02:43
foxbuntu?02:43
tgm4883_laptopi don't think so.  In fact IIRC, a kernel upgrade was held back02:43
foxbuntuperhaps that will fix it02:43
foxbuntutry a dist-upgrade02:43
tgm4883_laptopcan't02:44
tgm4883_laptophave no network02:44
foxbuntulol02:44
tgm4883_laptopit's really fscked up02:44
foxbuntuHAL not working?02:44
tgm4883_laptopbleh, and now my keyboard doesn't work02:44
* tgm4883_laptop takes a 12 guage to the backend02:44
foxbuntutis after a reboot?02:44
tgm4883_laptopyea02:45
tgm4883_laptopworked before the reboot02:45
foxbuntusounds like a borked kernel upgrade and HAL is broken now too02:46
tgm4883_laptopjust hit the reset button02:46
tgm4883_laptopheh, should i try to revert?02:46
foxbuntuuh02:46
tgm4883_laptopit's currently trying to load 2.6.24-1602:46
* tgm4883_laptop boots into recovery mode02:47
foxbuntutgm4883_laptop, try running hal-device and see if you get an error02:48
tgm4883_laptopok, sec.   Still booting02:48
tgm4883_laptopit's waiting on NFS shares02:48
tgm4883_laptopyep02:49
tgm4883_laptophal-device errored out02:49
tgm4883_laptop/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory02:50
foxbuntuyup HAL is borked02:50
tgm4883_laptoptheres more to the error than just that02:50
tgm4883_laptopfoxbuntu, sweet02:50
* tgm4883_laptop loads the 12 guage02:50
foxbuntulol02:50
tgm4883_laptopi'm not exactly sure how i'm suppose to procede from here.  Even if I could get a network, i still couldn't upgrade cause dpkg can't run02:51
foxbuntuI suggest rebuilding your system partition...02:52
foxbuntufixing HAL has to be done before anything else, and that could take a month02:52
tgm4883_laptopwhat about fixing xfs?02:52
foxbuntuI bet its not broke02:52
tgm4883_laptopwell thats a fricken catch 22 then02:53
foxbuntuits prob the kernel and HAL02:53
foxbuntuyou could try loading a livecd and chrooting to your system and then dist-upgrading02:56
foxbuntutgm4883_laptop, ^02:56
tgm4883_laptophmm02:59
tgm4883_laptoplets see what happens02:59
tgm4883_laptopI just told it to load a older kernel03:00
rhpot1991quit breaking things03:00
tgm4883_laptoprhpot1991, I blame you03:00
foxbunturhpot1991, !!03:00
tgm4883_laptopand Obama03:00
tgm4883_laptopbut mostly you03:00
rhpot1991what did Obama do now?03:00
tgm4883_laptopand your tree hugging waya03:00
rhpot1991met with some dude about an "internet marketing" opportunity today03:00
tgm4883_laptopObama broke my backend03:00
rhpot1991apparently "internet marketing" == pyramid scheme03:00
tgm4883_laptopheh03:01
rhpot1991I was under the impression it was gonna be some web work on the side03:01
grndslmok, so... i've had this new hardy/myth setup for a week or so at least now... but the recordings DON'T show up in the "media library"...03:48
rhpot1991grndslm: you prob have you view switched to show live tv03:48
rhpot1991hit your menu button (m key)03:49
rhpot1991change group filter, should prob be default03:49
grndslmyup, that was it!03:50
grndslmthanks!!03:50
rhpot1991no problem03:52
=== tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop
HunterSThompsonanyone know if there is such a thing as a flat-panel tv stand (mounted) made for tvs smaller than 50"04:50
HunterSThompsoncause all the ones I see are for 50" plus...and they would all leave weird crap sticking out from the sides of the tv04:51
tgm4883_laptopHunterSThompson, you mean wall mounts for LCD screens?05:18
HunterSThompsonnot a wall mount...like a media cabinet...but the ones made for lcds with the mount on an extended "arm"05:21
HunterSThompsonor some such05:21
HunterSThompsona piece of furniture as opposed to just the mount05:22
tgm4883_laptopHunterSThompson, not entirely sure what you mean.  Link?05:22
tgm4883_laptopI think* I've seen them at wall mart05:23
tgm4883_laptopthat is if we are thinking about the same thing05:23
HunterSThompsonhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3771366&CatId=153205:23
HunterSThompsonsomething like that but made for smaller tvs05:24
tgm4883_laptopare you talking about the horizontal bars that would show?05:27
tgm4883_laptopwhat size tv do you have?05:27
tgm4883_laptopHunterSThompson, depending on the size of your tv (width), that comes with 2 sets of horizontal bars.  I've also found another at walmart, but not sure the size of the horizontal bars there either05:31
HunterSThompson26"05:33
tgm4883_laptop26" screen?  or 26" wide?05:33
HunterSThompsonscreen05:34
tgm4883_laptopok05:34
HunterSThompsonthe stands(?) are little pricey for me and I don't know anyone with one...Don't have much to go on here...just what's advertized05:34
HunterSThompsonperhaps I'll just build one05:34
ny00123hey07:49
ny00123oh oops, am I in the wrong channel maybe07:50
ny00123or not...alright,07:52
ny00123I've tried looking for the answer over the Internet but couldn't find it, so I'd ask here if that's ok...07:52
ny00123Has someone got the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 to work on Linux with 4GB of RAM or more? (Not Vista where I know there may be issues, without some "beta" fixed I've found somewhere)07:52
ny00123*fix07:53
ny00123oops, I think I've maybe found the answer. If someone else wants to know the answer, it could be here (the asked question is different though):07:55
ny00123http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=8319507:55
ny00123I understand that guy in the posted link has already got the PVR-150 capture card to work on distros other than Mandriva, and he's got 4GB of RAM.08:04
selfskhi all08:12
selfskdoes someone install sasc-ng for mythtv on ubuntu?08:13
ddgoosewhy on god's green earth would you have only 4 megs or ram?09:31
ddgoose^of09:32
ddgooseembeded device from 1999?09:32
ny00123Talking to me?09:32
ny00123I've said 4GB (oh and I don't have any new hardware, yet)09:33
ny00123If not to me, you can ignore ;]09:33
ddgooseoh man, I shouldn't try to be a smart ass right after I wake Up :P09:34
ddgooseheh09:34
lagaselfsk: no sasc-ng in here, sorr10:54
ny00123Reading  the following, there could be issues with the PVR-150 remote control:11:26
ny00123http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=74212911:26
ny00123If anybody has got a PVR-150 with the remote working probably or not, please tell me. Please also tell the version of Mythbuntu and if it's 64-bit in that case.11:27
ny00123Oh, and just to be sure - What's the difference between LIRC and IR blaster? LIRC - For MythTV, IR blaster - For e.g. external cable/satellite decoder?11:28
ny00123oh..the latter is with LIRC...11:28
ny00123I think I know... The LIRC let's you use a remote control.11:30
ny00123(to basically control the MythTV)11:30
ny00123The IR blaster is another remote control, this time controlled by the Media Center and may control e.g. a Satellite decoder.11:31
lagai wish my mastr backend wouldn't shut down while mythtv-setup is running on another box ;)12:36
tbiccan I upgrate my mythbuntu 7.10 to 8.04 by modifing source.list?15:25
ny00123Although untested by me, the following might help you:15:29
