=== croppa_ is now known as croppa [02:03] Is it realistic to make a mythbuntu machine out of an old 98 beige box? [02:04] (windows 98, shipped in 00 [02:09] ffm: You'll probably have to be more specific about what's in that beige box, but I will predict "no" [02:10] iamlindoro: welll... 256mb ram... /me looks up... [02:10] iamlindoro: Pentium III (Katmai) [02:10] * ffm moves to #mythtv-users [02:12] ffm, the strait answer is no [02:13] ffm, video encoding/decoding is a very CPU/GPU/Memory intensive process that your old machine has no guts to handle... [02:13] foxbuntu: even sd? [02:14] ffm, even sd, I do mostly SD and my amd 3400+ with commflagging and everything else is maxed out [02:21] I'd argue it depends on what roll the box has [02:21] but as a whole you won't be too happy with performance on it [02:39] rhpot1991, comn...you always disagree with me just cuz you can === ffm is now known as ffm|away [02:51] foxbuntu: apparently we are destine to argue, 3rd time today [02:52] lol [02:52] its my 1337ness vs your hippiness [02:52] lol [02:52] now I just need to go through these 120 or so unnamed channels here [02:52] gonna be a pain [02:52] most are prob garbage [02:52] yup [02:53] I need to recover a hdd with a broken partition [02:53] dd it? [02:53] ddrescue [02:53] ya [02:53] yea [02:53] its running now [02:53] I'd do that then see what you can read [02:53] I need to ddrescue another dvd [02:53] freaking sony [02:54] problem is that the partition I have to rescue to is smaller than the amount of data on the other drive so I am hoping to grab the part info from the image and restore the partition [02:54] rather than recover and rebuild it [02:55] ouch [02:55] go buy a mybook to recover with and take it back [02:55] gonna go watch a movie, cya [02:55] later === ffm|away is now known as ffm === ffm is now known as ffm|sleep [04:11] hello, need help setting up usb tv tuner card with mythbuntu [04:11] anybody? [04:57] is there a problem with the latest 24-18 kernel and the lirc drivers? [04:57] I can't load the lirc_mceusb2 module (even after recompiling it) since loading -18 [04:58] FATAL: Error inserting lirc_mceusb2 (/lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/updates/dkms/lirc_mceusb2.ko): Invalid module format [09:36] Hello, I just finished installing mythbuntu-desktop from ubuntu-server 8.04 [09:36] I can manage to log in to the main desktop, but i can't seem to connect to the backend which is the same server [09:37] Looking at mysql there doesn't seem to be any mythtv databases created... is there a step which creates this? [09:59] name pobski [09:59] o dear =( === MythbuntuGuest52 is now known as pobski [10:00] any nightowls available to help a noob out with a quick question? [10:01] i guess not. I'll just write it here and check back periodically. I installed mythbuntu following the instruction manual, and got most of the features working well. [10:02] The problem I'm currently having is that my tuner (PVR-150) is only tuning in static to all of the channels i'm tuning in. [10:04] I've searched it quite a bit, but all of the solutions I find aren't pertinent to 8.04. A lot of them refer to an older(I'm guessing) file structure and I'm unable to get it to work well. === ffm|sleep is now known as ffm [14:45] > how can I easily remove mythbuntu, mythtv and mysql? [15:03] how can I easily remove mythbuntu-desktop and everything it installed [15:05] I've wondered this myself. I suspect the answer is the same for other metapackages. [15:05] Not that I know the answer though. [16:11] hi, has anyone been able to successfully burn a DVD from a video file imported into the Myth video manager?

I see all the control panes and the normal system /firefox etc, but no video playback. Video is playing fine on the laptops internal screen. Any ideas? [19:17] Add info: Lappie in docking bay, lid closed. Recall having ATI problems with video in XP, but did fix it then. 6months Linux user, so no expert. [19:19] i'd say you've got an overlay problem.. don't know for sure though ;) [19:23] anyone give me any help setting up the lirc?? :-) [19:28] what kind of remote do you use? === Wckt2 is now known as WcktKlwn [19:34] it's a nebula electronics [19:34] i;m just not sure where to put the files [19:35] i've got it working and recognised i'm just not sure where to put this file http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Nebula_DigiTV_Remote [19:37] in ~/.mythtv/lircrc [19:37] saved as what lol sorry i'm a total noob to ubuntu [19:38] in your homedir [19:38] you have a hidden folder named .mythtv [19:39] yep found it [19:39] so save the file as lircrc do i not need to put an extension on it [19:41] correct [19:43] cool i'll try it :-) cheers [19:44] np glad i could help [19:54] seems to work fine :-) thanks for that [19:54] do you have any idea how i can get it to run in a window, i've checked the option in settings but it still runs full screen [20:01] I'm having trouble with 6channel audio on spdif on my mythbuntu frontend :) Attempting a passthrough to my receiver, but whenver I check the passthrough boxes in mythtv, I get no output at all, instead of the 2channel pcm I get to the receiver. [20:02] I can send 5.1 and dts from mplayer using -channels 6 -ac hwac3 or hwdts -channels 6 as options, but I've tried just about every permutation of choices in mythtv's audio config page. [20:04] any ideas on something I might be missing? [20:32] so i was looking around until pretty late last night, and i couldn't find the solution to my problem [20:32] i go in to the backend setup and configure my capture card, video source, and input [20:33] then I can scan channels and it comes up with the channels my tv normally finds, so i assume it's all good [20:33] after that i go to the frontend, select watch tv, and all i get is static [20:34] my tuner is a PVR-150 (low profile if it matters) and i'm running 8.04 [20:35] has anyone else had a similar problem? i think i double checked the cable plugin about 10 times lol [20:42] pobski, did you scan for channels or get channels from schedules direct? [20:43] i got them from schedules direct [20:44] i tried the different varieties of cable as well hrc irc, i don't really know what they mean though >.< [20:44] there was a post on a forum from about a year ago that said you had to set "option mode = 50" in modprobe.conf [20:45] but being the mythbuntu scrub i am, i don't know where that file is located for me to edit [20:50] hello, I am new to mythbuntu. Can somebody please help me config my tv tuner? [21:40] hi all [21:42] I'm looking for help to set up my hauppauge HVR1300, for DVB channels === ffm is now known as ffm|remote === ffm|remote is now known as ffm [23:51] Hey I'm having a minor problem with my MythTV running in Ubunut 8.04, anyone around to help? I read the sound problems FAQ with no success. I am getting a sound echo on video playback and the only way to correct it is to mute the master audio. Whenever I exit mythtv, the sound "resets" and becomes unmuted again so it's quite a pain to have to mute the master audio every time I want to watch... [23:51] ...media. Any fixes?
