[00:10] <Avenged-Revenge> i installed mythbuntu on my machine but it asks me to do a database configuration
[00:10] <Avenged-Revenge> not sure how to do it
[00:10] <Avenged-Revenge> can anyone help?
[00:14] <darthanubis> http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Database
[00:14] <darthanubis> Avenged-Revenge, really you should not have to do anything
[00:15] <darthanubis> just use the mythbuntu command center
[00:15] <darthanubis> it makes it too easy
[00:25] <avihayb> tgm4883_laptop: Hi, I think I figured out why the mythubunto didn't work
[00:26] <avihayb> it gan from the cd burner, and in the new 8.04 kernel undoes what the previous kernel did with emulating scasi on ide, somth like that
[00:26] <avihayb> gan->
[00:27] <avihayb> adding the kernel boot option all_generic_ide should solve it. untested.
[00:33] <geraldnunn> tgm4883_laptop: Don't know if you remember, but you were helping me with upgrading lirc last weekend and we ran into some issues. I'm pleased to say I finally got it working now, thanks again for the help.
[03:06] <dan__> hey i've got an interesting (at least in my mind) question about installing a mythbuntu diskless server on an *old Debian box*
[03:07] <dan__> i've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Hardy/Diskless but am a little curious because the LTSP plugins on the Debian box don't include any of the mythbuntu stuff
[03:07] <dan__> does anyone have any ideas?
[03:08] <dan__> my guess as to why it's different is because i installed ltsp-server from the Debian package, not the mythbuntu
[04:09] <Lud7773> trying to program my remote to do "Previous channel" does anyone know which context and action I have to reference in "edit keys" that will do this action for me?
[05:44] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991_laptop, it works!
[05:45] <rhpot1991_laptop> heh
[05:47] <jbroome> Just got mine setup and working too, this is so badass
[05:52] <waxhead_> what's working?
[05:53] <waxhead_> I'm gutted.. the tuner card I got isn't supported...
[05:53] <waxhead_> hardware revision..
[05:53] <waxhead_> sigh
[05:53] <tgm4883_laptop> my wax sculpture machine.  I'm going to start a museum
[05:53] <tgm4883_laptop> believe it or not
[05:53] <waxhead_> got a suprise though, the logitech dinovo mini keyboard works...
[05:54] <waxhead_> what's the trick with getting visible fonts on a CRT?
[05:54] <waxhead_> I'm in the window manager, and if it wasn't for the monitor, I wouldn't be able to see the fonts on the menu
[05:55] <waxhead_> I'm running 640*480@100hz...
[05:56] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, dont make me get superm1
[05:56] <rhpot1991_laptop> haha
[05:57] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu, don't make me stab you
[06:00] <Kevin`> does mythbuntu support installing to lvm?
[06:01] <tgm4883_laptop> no, if you try it will take your left nut
[06:01] <foxbuntu> lol
[06:01] <Kevin`> lol
[06:01] <tgm4883_laptop> why would you want to though?
[06:02] <Kevin`> so I can expand partititions if they get filled up, use striping for data, etc
[06:02] <Kevin`> all the lvm goodness
[06:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> storage groups
[06:06] <Kevin`> so? or do I just try it in a few days and see what happens =p
[06:06] <tgm4883_laptop> Kevin`, you could try the alternate disk
[06:07] <Kevin`> that uses the normal debian/ubuntu installer?
[06:07] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm not sure what you mean?
[06:07] <Kevin`> nevermind then
[06:07] <Kevin`> i'll just try it
[07:11] <waxhead_> how do I get the screen size to better fit?
[07:12] <waxhead_> I can't modify some settings because I can't see all the screen
[07:37] <waxhead_> can mythtv play ISO's of DVD's?
[07:42] <hads> Yes
[07:48] <waxhead_> it's a permissions thing I think...
[07:48] <waxhead_> just have to wait for the files to copy then i'll check
[07:56] <Kevin`> waxhead_: connect via vnc to modify the settings
[08:30] <waxhead_> Kevin`: thanks.. been trying to, but for some reason I can't connect to it...
[08:30] <waxhead_> using ubuntu on a laptop to get to it
[08:31] <waxhead_> where/what do I do with ISO's of DVD's?
[08:36] <waxhead_> right.. well vnc works... sigh
[08:38] <waxhead_> hmm... random lockups now...
[08:38] <waxhead_> it's just getting better... :-/
[09:25] <waxhead_> Hm... video play back is choppy and spdif out isn't working...
[09:28] <jduggan> two unrelated problems no doubt, choppy video is 9 times out of 10 video driver related
[09:28] <waxhead_> jduggan: likely... it's an ATI card...
[09:29] <waxhead_> I have the restricted driver installed
[09:29] <waxhead_> what's the simplest problem to fix?  do that first.. :)
[09:29] <jduggan> i hear mixed results about ATI - ive heard recent people saying its not so bad, but since forever its always been said if you want good video in linux steer clear
[09:29] <jduggan> unfortunately i have no experience with ATI
[09:30] <jduggan> however, try the bleeding edge drivers
[09:30] <waxhead_> yeah, nvidia seem to be the one to go with...
[09:30] <jduggan> i heard a developer say theyre not so bad
[09:30] <waxhead_> jduggan: I think it's down to the support given by the manufacters..
[09:30] <waxhead_> nvidia are a little better at it...
[09:31] <waxhead_> where do I look to setup spdif out?
[09:33] <jduggan> have you checked the mythtv wiki?
[09:33] <jduggan> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Digital_Sound_with_AC3_and_SPDIF
[09:33] <waxhead_> OK.. thanks.
[09:41] <waxhead_> jduggan: got sound coming out now...
[10:25] <waxhead_> right..
[10:26] <waxhead_> what's the best nvidia card for HD output?
[10:26] <waxhead_> I'm over this ATI card already...
[10:27] <hads> Any relatively new card should be fine.
[13:17] <jduggan> anything 5200 FX or newer with dvi output :)
[13:17] <jduggan> so you can convert into HDMI :)
[14:12] <jbroome> .0
[15:39] <raslac> hi folks - just wanted to follow up with my spdif passthrough on intel-hda (ALC883)  problems.. I finally found the clue in http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/225991 I had to set my audio output device as "ALSA:iec958:CARD=0,AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2". That makes everything work like a charm.
[19:26] <vbman11> Hi all! I can't get mythtv backend to see my storage dir's
[19:26] <vbman11> here is the paste bin of the backend log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/18845/
[19:29] <tgm4883_laptop> vbman11, your permissions are not correct
[19:29] <tgm4883_laptop> 2008-06-09 12:07:57.060 TFW, Error: Opening file '/home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/live/1002_20080609120756.nuv'.
[19:29] <tgm4883_laptop> 			eno: Permission denied (13)
[19:29] <vbman11> I know, how do I change that
[19:29] <vbman11> chmod?
[19:29] <tgm4883_laptop> chmod 775
[19:30] <tgm4883_laptop> and chown mythtv:mythtv
[19:30] <vbman11> I'll try that thanks
[19:31] <jphillip> tgm4883_laptop should be 2775, sticky bit
[19:31] <jphillip> though it really doesn't matter much
[19:31] <vbman11> chmod 2775?
[19:31] <jphillip> yep
[19:31] <vbman11> or 775?
[19:31] <jphillip> either will work
[19:31] <vbman11> ohh
[19:31] <vbman11> ok
[19:32] <vbman11> I got an error with chown "chown: missing operand after `mythtv:mythtv'
[19:32] <vbman11> Try `chown --help' for more information."
[19:33] <vbman11> ohh never mind!
[19:35] <vbman11> I tried watching tv again but i still get the same error
[19:35] <tgm4883_laptop> i've never used the sticky bit, further, upon googling for information on it it appears that it was A) "No version of Linux has ever supported the traditional behavior." and B) obsoleted
[19:36] <vbman11> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/18849/
[19:37] <tgm4883_laptop> vbman11, what commands did you do?
[19:37] <tgm4883_laptop> post them here
[19:37] <tgm4883_laptop> also post the output of 'ls -l /home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/'
[19:37] <vbman11> chmod 775 /home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/live/
[19:37] <vbman11>  sudo chown mythtv:mythtv /home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/live
[19:37] <vbman11> both of them
[19:38] <tgm4883_laptop> post the output of 'ls -l /home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/'
[19:38] <vbman11> paste bin?
[19:38] <tgm4883_laptop> yes, unless it's just 1 or 2 lines
[19:39] <vbman11> 4 lines
[19:39] <vbman11> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/18850/
[19:40] <vbman11> and i just checked, I am part of the mythtv group
[19:40] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[19:40] <tgm4883_laptop> you know what
[19:40] <tgm4883_laptop> I bet this is your problem
[19:40] <vbman11> what
[19:40] <tgm4883_laptop> 2008-06-09 12:34:15.091 SG(LiveTV) Error: FindNextDirMostFree: '/home/kevin/Videos/mythtv/live' does not exist!
[19:41] <tgm4883_laptop> you might be part of the mythtv group
[19:41] <tgm4883_laptop> but mythtv isn't part of your group
[19:41] <vbman11> ??
[19:41] <tgm4883_laptop> I *think* that the mythtv user can't see inside of /home/kevin/
[19:42] <tgm4883_laptop> do
[19:42] <tgm4883_laptop> ls /home/
[19:42] <tgm4883_laptop> and how are your partitions setup ?
[19:43] <vbman11> kevin  mythtv  super
[19:43] <vbman11> super is an old user that I removed
[19:43] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[19:43] <tgm4883_laptop> how are your partitions setup?
[19:43] <tgm4883_laptop> and how many hard drives do you have?
[19:44] <vbman11> 1 hard drive
[19:44] <vbman11> Windows ntfs
[19:44] <vbman11> ubuntu ext3
[19:44] <vbman11> linux-swap
[19:44] <vbman11> hp recovery
[19:44] <vbman11> thats all
[19:44] <tgm4883_laptop> do
[19:44] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo fdisk -l
[19:45] <vbman11> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/18856/
[19:46] <tgm4883_laptop> ok so you have one large partition
[19:46] <vbman11> yes
[19:46] <tgm4883_laptop> I'd move the recordings directory somewhere else besides your home dir
[19:46] <tgm4883_laptop> somewhere like /mythtv/recordings
[19:46] <vbman11> ok... where
[19:47] <tgm4883_laptop> then set the right permissions on those, then fix your recording directory location in mythtv-setup, then try again
[19:47] <vbman11> ok just a sec
[19:51] <vbman11> IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[19:51] <vbman11> YOU ARE AWESOME!!
[19:51] <vbman11> !!
[19:52] <vbman11> is there a webpage for the key commands?
[19:52] <tgm4883_laptop> yea, i know ;)
[19:52] <tgm4883_laptop> for the key commands in the frontend?
[19:52] <vbman11> yep
[19:52] <tgm4883_laptop> I don't think so.  You could install mythcontrols and set the key mapping yourself
[19:52] <tgm4883_laptop> actually there probably is one on the mythtv wiki on mythtv.org
[19:53] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm doing homework right now so I can't look it up myself
[19:53] <vbman11> ok thanks a lot
[19:53] <laga> there's keys.txt
[19:53] <vbman11> ok here it is: http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1
[19:57] <jphillip> there is a section on mythweb for them as well
