[02:50] <davi2> can someone help me get mythubuntu going
[02:51] <iamlindoro> not unless you ask an actual question
[02:52] <davi2> i'm getting an error that says my backend can't connect to mysql
[02:53] <davi2> i installed mythbuntu already
[02:53] <davi2> i have mysql
[02:53] <davi2> hello?
[02:54] <iamlindoro> patient, that one.
[02:59] <flip_543> hello all--- I have a problem--- I can watch PCHDTV 3000 based recordings but live has really bad audio and video dropouts.  Is this a known issue?  I can better explain if needed.
[03:06] <flip_543> mythfrontend terminal output for livetv  is here: http://pastebin.ca/1037452
[03:15] <flip_543> sorry, I didn't read the MOTD-- here is my terminal output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16517/
[03:19] <flip_543> that was with playback profile = cpu--
[03:23] <flip_543> thinking it might be a  decoder problem,  here is playback profile CPU++   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16518/
[03:24] <flip_543> darn-- I forgot to mention this is QAM 256 ONLY problem.  Broadcast ATSC is fine live and recorded.
[03:31] <defendguin> does anyone know how to watch mythtv recordings using totem?
[03:32] <defendguin> my totem doesn't seem to pick any videos
[03:33] <defendguin> even though there is clearly a smb share called recordings on my mythbuntu box.   or does it rely on the myth box streaming the videos
[03:33] <defendguin> ?
[03:33] <superm1> you need to install the totem-plugins-extra package
[03:41] <defendguin> the plugin is installed
[03:41] <defendguin> and i don't mean i just installed it now
[03:42] <defendguin> the little sidebar drop down box says mythtv recording
[03:42] <defendguin> s
[03:45] <defendguin> do i have to enable the nfs service?
[03:50] <superm1> oh sorry
[03:50] <flip_543> does anyone know where I can start trying to find the root cause of QAM256 Live content not playing correctly, when recordings and  Live ATSC broadcast is fine?
[03:51] <superm1> you need to open gconf-editor
[03:51] <superm1> and then add your password
[03:51] <superm1> and hostname
[03:51] <superm1> and that's it
[03:51] <superm1> recordings of that same QAM256 work?
[03:51] <superm1> flip_543, ^
[03:51] <flip_543> yup
[03:52] <superm1> well that's just crazy
[03:52] <flip_543> I know-- I've been trying for over a week to figure it out.
[03:53] <flip_543> I'm at wit's end.
[03:53] <superm1> what kinds of errors do you get?
[03:54] <flip_543> there was a cx88 audio patch in the last kernel update, but it didn't help.
[03:54] <flip_543> my pastebins are above
[03:55] <superm1> so they open up
[03:55] <superm1> and what happens
[03:55] <superm1> no video or audio?
[03:55] <flip_543> garbled audio and blocky video
[03:55] <superm1> you using pulse audio?
[03:55] <flip_543> yup
[03:55] <superm1> do you have to?
[03:56] <flip_543> I suppose not
[03:56] <superm1> and when you say latest kernel, your on 2.6.24-17 right?
[03:56] <superm1> there was a scheduling related patch in it that should help folks with HD performance issues (which this can turn out to be)
[03:56] <superm1> if you can remove pulseaudio at least for now, it's just an extra item here that can cause complications
[03:56] <defendguin> superm1: that is so silly for them to release the plugin without the configuration tool
[03:56] <flip_543> I got -17
[03:56] <superm1> especially with the mmap errors you have listed
[03:57] <superm1> defendguin, yeah i know
[03:58] <defendguin> superm1: it needs my db username and password or the user account for the box?
[03:59] <flip_543> I can bypass pulse by setting everything to ALSA in Gnome Sound Setting manager right?\
[04:00] <superm1> db
[04:00] <superm1> defendguin, ^
[04:01] <superm1> flip_543, i'm not sure
[04:01] <defendguin> gracias
[04:01] <superm1> all i know is make sure pulseaudio's daemon isn't running
[04:01] <superm1> and it's not set in ~/.asoundrc
[04:02] <flip_543> is pulse a known issue for some?
[04:02] <superm1> it just can cause complications, so it's easier to prove things are working without it
[04:02] <superm1> and then add it back in after you do so
[04:03] <flip_543> right on- gimmee a minute to kill the server
[04:08] <defendguin> where the heck can i look at the DB password?
[04:09] <defendguin> i didn't see it in the backend setup screens
[04:09] <superm1> /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[04:10] <flip_543> brb
[04:16] <defendguin> superm1: mythtv took away the option to say what time of day to do a download of data from SD?
[04:16] <superm1> maybe?
[04:16] <defendguin> i needed that option and i don't see it anymore :(
[04:16] <superm1> why do you need it?
[04:17] <superm1> you can always have a cron job run and do it if you need to
[04:17] <defendguin> video playback would lock up when it did a download
[04:17] <iamlindoro> It's still where it's always been
[04:18] <defendguin> no its not i'm at that screen now and i don't see anything
[04:18] <iamlindoro> General settings in the frontend, seven pages in
[04:18] <iamlindoro> execution start and end, the end.
[04:18] <defendguin> why would you configure that on the front end side?   ugg so confusing
[04:19] <flip_543> <- had to restart X server
[04:19] <defendguin> i am in the backend setup where it asks for my SD user name and password
[04:19] <iamlindoro> So much for "No it's not."
[04:19] <defendguin> it used to be there i thought
[04:19] <iamlindoro> Nope.
[04:19] <defendguin> in the video source setup
[04:19] <iamlindoro> Nope.
[04:36] <defendguin> iamlindoro superm1   THANKS FOR THE INFO
[06:21] <emacla> Can mythbuntu get programs (the program guide) in Sweden?
[07:43] <foxbuntu> emacla, depends on your data source
[10:23] <Bob24> hello
[10:25] <Bob24> could someone please tell me what is a good program for partitioning on Mythbuntu?
[10:26] <hads> cfdisk is fairly easy
[10:28] <Bob24> hads could you please tell me how to see if mythbuntu has detected my 500gb hard drive
[10:29] <hads> If you issue a cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[10:29] <hads> from a terminal then you should see your drive listed.
[10:39] <bob25> does this apply for sata drives as well
[10:39] <hads> Yes. You could also use lshw
[10:40] <hads> `sudo lshw -class disk` should do it.
[10:42] <bob25> k cool, using the cat /proc/scsi/scsi command and found the hdd, but now how do i create a partition so i can use it
[10:43] <bob25> as a storage drive for recordings and videos for mythbuntu
[10:45] <hads> You would use fdisk/cfdisk to create a partition on it then mount it
[10:47] <hads> sudo cfdisk /dev/sdx (where x is a/b/c/whatever)
[10:48] <bob25> when i use the scsi command will where it says Host: scsi4 would that be the drive?
[10:49] <hads> Use `sudo lshw -class disk` - that should tell you.
[10:51] <bob25> cool yep worked
[10:52] <bob25> just another thing
[10:53] <bob25> it detects my 500gb as a 465gb, i no that its not supposed to detect it as exaclty 500 but is it suppoesed to be 35gb less?
[10:54] <laga> yeah, i think that's plausible
[10:54] <laga> that's 500000000000 bytes
[10:54] <laga> which is 465GB :)
[11:06] <Bob24> k ive just partitioned the disk, now how would i be able to use the disk with my recordings so i can see it in the frontend.
[11:06] <Bob24> ?
[11:07] <laga> you need to format it (i recommend xfs), add it to /etc/fstab, then add it in your storage group in mythtv-setup
[11:07] <laga> of course, you need also need to mount it and set up permissions :)
[11:07] <laga> we really need a nice graphical way for this
[11:18] <Bob24> laga could you tell me which section i go to to add the storage device
[11:18] <Bob24> ?
[11:18] <hads> Just to be different I'll recommend JFS :)
[11:18] <hads> Bob24: You'd do that in mythtv-setup
[11:19] <Bob24> is that in the frontend
[11:19] <Bob24> would it be Myth-Stream
[11:20] <hads> Huh? No, mythtv-setup
[11:26] <Bob24> ok on my Frontend i have an option Utilities/Setup
[11:26] <Bob24> then in their which one would i pick
[11:26] <laga> no
[11:26] <laga> it'S not in the frontend
[11:27] <laga> open the mythbuntu control centre
[11:27] <Bob24> oh
[11:27] <laga> or even better, just open mythtv-setup from the xfce menu
[11:31] <Bob24> ok yep then do i create a group?
[11:31] <Bob24> or db backup
[11:31] <Bob24> or live tv
[11:33] <laga> you should already have a default group
[11:50] <Bob24> laga could you please explain to me how to add the hdd to fstab
[11:51] <Bob24> sry i just not very familiar with this system
[11:51] <laga> Bob24: not off-hand. :) i'm sure google has lots of information.. maybe also the mythbuntu forums
[11:51] <laga> try searching the mythbuntu forums first, yeah
[11:51]  * laga goes back to homework
[11:52] <Bob24> ok thanks for your help
[11:54] <Bob24> ok i realized how to get into fstab, but im not sure what to type in their
[12:00] <Bob24> would i type /dev/sda    /mnt    logical     defaaults    0    0
[12:01] <Bob24>  i want to add a sata drive
[12:02] <laga> well, for starts
[12:02] <laga>  /dev/sda is the complete disk, you need the partition, eg sda1 or sda5
[12:02] <laga> and it's spelled "defaults", not "defaaults"
[12:02] <laga> and "logical" isn't a valid file system
[12:04] <Bob24> how would i find if its sda1 or sda5 in logical name it shows /dev/sda
[12:04] <laga> where do you see this logical name?
[12:04] <hads> You'd put the filesystem name in there, which is whatever you formatted the partition as.
[12:05] <Bob24> when i type lshw -class disk
[12:05] <hads> Yes well that's the name of the disk.
[12:06] <Bob24> i used cfdisk to partition it
[12:06] <hads> If you added one partition and one only then it would be called sda1.
[12:06] <hads> Which would be quite odd since you should already have a drive called that.
[12:07] <Bob24> k i found it, it says sda5
[12:07] <Bob24> in cfdisk
[12:07] <laga> where is your other disk?
[12:08] <Bob24> u mean the bootable one
[12:08] <laga> yes
[12:08] <Bob24> hda1
[12:08] <laga> ah. good.
[12:08] <hads> heh yeah :)
[12:09] <Bob24> k so would i add /dev/sda   /mnt/sda5 right
[12:10] <hads> No, you need to do some reading on the format of fstab
[12:11] <Bob24> is their a simpler way of just adding it automatically
[12:11] <hads> What filsystem did you put on the partition?
[12:12] <Bob24> Linux
[12:13] <Bob24> its a logical partition
[12:15] <hads> Adding a partition is the first step, you need to put a filesystem on it.
[12:16] <Bob24> is says FS tyoe: Linux
[12:16] <Bob24> or is that somrthing else
[12:17] <Bob24> what filesystem should i create as
[12:17] <Bob24> ?
[12:20] <Bob24> or should i keep it as Linux
[12:20] <laga> try XFS.
[12:20] <laga> you can't create file systems in cfdisk..
[12:20] <laga> hey, maybe try gparted, that's a graphical tool.
[12:21] <hads> Yeah, might be easier.
[12:21] <Bob24> im in the meno for it in cfdisk
[12:22] <laga> Bob24: no, you can mark the partition as containing a file system, eg "linux", but you still need to create it
[12:23] <Bob24> ok
[12:26] <hads> http://www.xawk.com/ubuntu-add-hard-drive.html http://www.smorgasbord.net/how-to-install-second-hard-drive-in-ubuntu-linux/
[12:30] <Bob24> is scanning devices in Gparted supposed to take a while
[12:34] <Bob24> is their any other program i can use
[14:04] <MythbuntuGuest48> Hello all
[14:04] <schamane_> moin
[14:05] <schamane_> got a small problem
[14:05] <schamane_> Fatal Error at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/tv/includes/channels.php, line 65:
[14:05] <schamane_> No channels were detected. Are you sure that MythTV is properly configured?
[14:05] <schamane_> how can i import an channellist?
[14:05] <schamane_> where can i get some?
[14:05] <MythbuntuGuest48> heh least yours seems to have installed! :)
[14:06] <schamane_> the problem ist, the technotrend card isnt connected right now :(
[14:07] <schamane_> can i download channellist?
[14:07] <schamane_> and codecs
[14:08] <MythbuntuGuest48> anyone able to help with some mythbuntu install issues?
[14:08] <laga> MythbuntuGuest48: just ask a question :)
[14:08] <MythbuntuGuest48> oh :)
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> Well, ive been tryin to install mythbuntu for over 5 hours now :(
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> and cant seem to have any luck!
[14:09] <schamane_> freezes?
[14:09] <schamane_> at 15 %
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> Yeah
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> not neccessarily 15%
[14:09] <schamane_> not enough ram
[14:09] <schamane_> got the same
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> but it seems to freeze randomly, more specifically after install
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> i have 4gbs!
[14:09] <MythbuntuGuest48> :_
[14:09] <schamane_> used more ram (and another PC, but RAM was the only difference)
[14:10] <schamane_> hui
[14:10] <schamane_> checked cd for defects?
[14:10] <laga> MythbuntuGuest48: try the alternate disk?
[14:10] <MythbuntuGuest48> i wrote the iso again, in case the initial write was a tad corrupt...
[14:11] <MythbuntuGuest48> im yet to try a new iso download...
[14:11] <MythbuntuGuest48> ive just popped out 2 1gb RAM modules..
[14:11] <MythbuntuGuest48> and can get the live environ. working...
[14:11] <MythbuntuGuest48> which isnt anything new...
[14:11] <laga> :(
[14:11] <laga> i gotta run now unfortunately, i'll probably be back later
[14:11] <MythbuntuGuest48> just about to try install... i have an nvidia 9600gt
[14:12] <MythbuntuGuest48> should i just use open source drivers ?
[14:12] <MythbuntuGuest48> oh ok, thanks anyway!
[14:13] <schamane_> MythbuntuGuest48: just check cd for defects when it boots
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest48> yeah ive done that...
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest48> it gets to the end of the progress bar...
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest48> and then just stops...
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest48> no reports or anything...
[14:13] <MythbuntuGuest48> and if i tap any key the system reboots! :)
[14:14] <schamane_> then i think its defect
[14:14] <MythbuntuGuest48> really ?
[14:14] <MythbuntuGuest48> hmm m
[14:14] <MythbuntuGuest48> maybe tomorrow ill try download again and write!
[14:14] <schamane_> its not normal
[14:14] <MythbuntuGuest48> whats the diff between alternate and destop downloads ?s
[14:15] <schamane_> but the idea with trying 2 GB is good too
[14:15] <MythbuntuGuest48> yeah, ive tried soooo many things! :D
[14:15] <MythbuntuGuest48> i thought trying to dual boot with vista would be the biggest part of my troubles...
[14:15] <MythbuntuGuest48> but i cant even get a singular install of myth going! :)
[14:15] <MythbuntuGuest48> 67% of install atm!
[14:16] <MythbuntuGuest48> 80%
[14:16] <MythbuntuGuest48> Schamane, thanks for your help, i appreciate it
[14:16] <MythbuntuGuest48> !
[14:16] <schamane_> no prob
[14:17] <MythbuntuGuest48> detecting hardware...
[14:17] <MythbuntuGuest48> hmm this is where id expect things to go bad! :)
[14:18] <MythbuntuGuest48> 96%!
[14:18] <MythbuntuGuest48> ok, the only REAL things i did differently here were an advanced install with all the efault options instead of standard!
[14:18] <MythbuntuGuest48> thats even MORE confusing! :(
[14:18] <MythbuntuGuest48> Its got as far as ive ever been
[14:19] <MythbuntuGuest48> wow....it seems to have worked.
[14:27] <schamane_> tada
[14:28] <schamane_> cd was broken?
[14:29] <MythbuntuGuest48> no doesnt seem to have been!?
[14:30] <MythbuntuGuest48> same one all along...
[14:30] <MythbuntuGuest48> i did an advanced installation, and removed 2gbs of RAM
[14:32] <MythbuntuGuest48> So im guessing one of those two things fixed it!
[14:33] <MythbuntuGuest48> anyway, more research tomorrow, its 2am here! :(
[14:33] <MythbuntuGuest48> thanks again schamane!
[15:25] <schamane_> someone able to help me with my channel list problem?
[15:25] <schamane_> No channels were detected.  Are you sure that MythTV is properly configured?
[15:25] <schamane_> were can i configure channel list?
[15:25] <schamane_> i switched to west germany
[15:26] <schamane_> where i am
[15:26] <schamane_> but same failure
[16:14] <sabhain> schamane_ do you have both the tuner card and the sources configured?
[16:14] <sabhain> and can you describe your setup?  analog / digital ... etc?
[16:39] <schamane_> sabhain: yes
[16:40] <schamane_> i switches to dvb
[16:40] <schamane_> cause i got an technotrend FF 1.5
[16:40] <schamane_> source is /dev/dvb0
[16:40] <schamane_> its digital
[19:46] <toorima> every few minutes i get the following in my auth.log any one know why?

[20:27] <tushyd> I want to build a HTPC with mythbuntu. Anyone know where I could get an IR reciever for cheap?
[20:27] <tushyd> preferrably USB
[20:29] <jphillip> newegg sells mce remotes with receivers
[20:29] <jphillip> can IR blast as well, and its well supported
[20:29] <tushyd> IR blast?
[20:30] <jphillip> send IR signals to a STB to change the channels and so on
[20:30] <jphillip> you might not need it, but it can do it
[20:30] <tushyd> ah i see
[20:33] <tgm4883_laptop> the MCEUSB remotes that jphillip is talking about are awesome
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> take a look here  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> I'd recommend the third one from the left (make sure it looks like that when you buy it)
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> It has programmable buttons for your TV and volume
[20:53] <tominglis> hi i am installing mythtv at the moment, with the text installer
[20:53] <tominglis> does anyone know how to use the console while doing this, as i need to determine which dev/ my remote control is?
[20:57] <tgm4883_laptop> ls /dev/lirc*
[20:57] <tgm4883_laptop> i think
[20:59] <tominglis> no, i mean
[20:59] <tominglis> how do i use the console whilst i am in the installer
[20:59] <tgm4883_laptop> oh
[20:59] <tgm4883_laptop> ctrl-alt-F2?
[20:59] <tgm4883_laptop> I assume
[20:59] <tgm4883_laptop> ctrl-alt-F1 should get you back I hope
[21:08] <tominglis> tgm4883_laptop: ace
[21:08] <tominglis> do you know how i pause something
[21:09] <tominglis> i have done cat /proc/bus/input/devices
[21:09] <tominglis> but it goes really quickly and i don't think i can scroll
[21:11] <iamlindoro__> more /proc/bus/etc/etc/
[21:15] <tominglis> that command doesn't work
[21:15] <tominglis> i just need to pause the cat command when it's running
[21:15] <tgm4883_laptop> you can use pg up?   it's like alt-pgup
[21:15] <tgm4883_laptop> or shift-pgup
[21:15] <tgm4883_laptop> or ctrl-pgup
[21:16] <tgm4883_laptop> or you could cat to a file
[21:16] <tgm4883_laptop> then just open the file
[21:17] <iamlindoro__> tominglis, there's mo reason more shouldn't work... you did take my "etcs" out, right?
[21:17] <tominglis> the pgup thing doesn't work
[21:17] <iamlindoro__> er no
[21:17] <iamlindoro__> more /path/to/any/file
[21:17] <tominglis> oh ok :)
[21:17]  * iamlindoro__ shakes his head sadly
[21:18] <tominglis> hahaha
[21:18] <tominglis> yeah that worked
[21:19] <tominglis> but, i can't see the remote sensor
[21:19] <tominglis> should i select lirc0 as i think it is the only thing not accounted for in the more thing
[21:20] <tominglis> although the top thing was macintosh compatible mouse, which i don't have (in addition to my actual mouse and keyboard)?
[22:14] <Nixus_Maximus> hey everybody, I have a lirc/mythtv problem: when I'm pressing e.g. menu/i on my hauppauge remot (nova-t pci), nothing happens and mythtv reports: 2008-06-03 23:07:23.235 Key M is bound to multiple actions in context Stream.
[22:14] <Nixus_Maximus> although it is only bound to a single action
[22:14] <Nixus_Maximus> this happens with several keys
[22:18] <Schamane_> hi
[22:18] <Schamane_> i seem to be to stupid configuring mythbuntu
[22:18] <Schamane_> i cant get channels
[22:19] <Schamane_> somebody here who is willing to help me
[22:33] <pteague> is there suddenly something wrong with connecting to nfs shares?  i set up my nfs shares & was able to mount them just fine, but now i just get a "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on server:/var/lib/mythtv/blah" error
[22:37] <hads> Sounds like you don't have nfs-common installed
[22:37] <Schamane_> channelscan is really difficukt
[22:38] <pteague> i do
[22:39] <pteague> hmm... then again... on which machine? both i'm assuming
[22:39] <pteague> ah, after last update there's a conflict on nfs-common for some reason... wtf?
[22:43] <pteague> ok, this doesn't look good on my client... seems to be multiple conflicts... anyway to get a complete list of conflicts?
[23:08] <tominglis> i've installed mythbuntu 8.04, but unfortunately i am not able to get the database to work
[23:09] <tominglis> in the mythtv setup i don't know what to enter as the password
[23:09] <tominglis> i entered a root MySQL password when setting up
[23:09] <tominglis> but it wants the password for the mythtv user
[23:09] <tominglis> the default option was mythtv but this does not work
[23:10] <tominglis> does anyone know what could be wrong?
[23:12] <tominglis> i've tried logging into mysql directly just now, and it seems that the mythtv user has no password
[23:12] <tominglis> however, i still get the cannot connect to database error
[23:13] <tominglis> if i do show databases; there is no mythconverg, only the information schema
[23:13] <tominglis> should i create it? or does it have some kind of structure that should already be there?
