| HunterSThompson | I just got digital cable and I'm trying to set up lirc to use the cable box's remote...I downloaded and untarred dct2000serial.tar.gz...but now I haven't a clue as to what I should do | 00:25 |
|---|---|---|
| rhpot1991_laptop | bah, why wont ntp run on this box | 00:52 |
| HunterSThompson | even an explanation of what goes where in this LIRC setup in Mythbuntu Control Centre would be helpful | 01:02 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | HunterSThompson: go look at the lirc howto's for past versions of ubuntu on wiki.ubuntu.com | 01:03 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | all that info is in there | 01:03 |
| HunterSThompson | I've read through one or two of them...I must have missed it | 01:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | /etc/lirc/ has a lot of files | 01:05 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | and ~.mythtv and ~.lircrc | 01:05 |
| HunterSThompson | I still don't see anything about what to do with crcgen.py and changechannel.py | 01:25 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I've never used any sort of IR blaster or channel changer, sorry | 01:28 |
| HunterSThompson | me either | 01:40 |
| will01 | anyone know how to get irkick to work with gnome applications? | 02:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | HunterSThompson, pastebin whats in crcgen.py | 02:25 |
| HunterSThompson | how do I copy that from nano? | 02:40 |
| HunterSThompson | nevermind that | 02:42 |
| HunterSThompson | http://pastebin.com/d581afa4 | 02:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | HunterSThompson, I'm not sure what crcgen.py does, where did you get it from | 03:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the other one should go into mythtv-setup though | 03:52 |
| HunterSThompson | help | 04:10 |
| HunterSThompson | oops | 04:10 |
| HunterSThompson | ummm | 04:10 |
| HunterSThompson | I got them from dct2000serial.tar.gz | 04:11 |
| tony_ | i'm getting "No UPnP backends found". anyone know how to completely reset my mythtv and mysql passwords. i'm so lost at this point i lost track of the passwords | 04:39 |
| superm1 | tony_, they're stored in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 04:42 |
| superm1 | so you wouldn't need to typically | 04:42 |
| tony_ | i get that error first and then "cannot login to database". thanks, i'll check that | 04:44 |
| superm1 | you can remove any user set passwords then by removing ~/.mythtv | 04:44 |
| superm1 | and trying again | 04:44 |
| superm1 | it regenerates the directory when you start myth | 04:44 |
| superm1 | and as of hardy makes symlinks into /etc/mythtv | 04:45 |
| superm1 | so that you dont create user specific passwords by accident | 04:45 |
| tony_ | so it's okay just to delete they whole ~/.mythtv folder? | 04:45 |
| superm1 | yeah | 04:45 |
| superm1 | its just a cache | 04:45 |
| superm1 | all the stuff is stored in mysql | 04:45 |
| superm1 | and it will regenerate the cache on first start | 04:46 |
| tony_ | same error, maybe i should reconfigure mythtv? or mysql? | 04:47 |
| superm1 | well how did you get into this conundrum in the first place | 04:49 |
| superm1 | did you set a root mysql password? | 04:50 |
| superm1 | and then got all these errors during install | 04:50 |
| superm1 | or did you misenter something | 04:50 |
| superm1 | or reconfigure something | 04:50 |
| tony_ | i think i just lose track of my passwords. one password was shamefully, "root" and it wasn't the root password, lol, so i'm lost now | 04:51 |
| tony_ | trying mythtv-setup now | 04:51 |
| superm1 | so things were working at one point? | 04:51 |
| tony_ | no, not successful yet | 04:51 |
| superm1 | okay so there is a good chance that something wrong got entered during installation then | 04:52 |
| superm1 | so the best bet is to follow this order of reconfiguration: | 04:52 |
| tony_ | i thought there was a way to reconfigure mysql | 04:52 |
| superm1 | 1) dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 | 04:52 |
| superm1 | enter a new root mysql password | 04:52 |
| superm1 | 2) reconfigure mythtv-database. enter that new root password you put in for mysql | 04:52 |
| superm1 | 3) reconfigure mythtv-common. make sure that you are pointed to localhost, but dont change user and pass | 04:52 |
| superm1 | 4) remove ~/.mythtv again and try again | 04:53 |
| superm1 | that should do the trick | 04:53 |
| tony_ | mysql admin account name? i changed to mythtv, should i change back to mythconverg? | 04:54 |
| superm1 | the admin user is typically root | 04:55 |
| superm1 | for mysql | 04:55 |
| superm1 | the database is mythconverg | 04:55 |
| superm1 | typically | 04:55 |
| superm1 | the normal mythtv user is typically mythtv )for mysql( | 04:55 |
| tony_ | same problems. this is why i fear mythtv on every install. out of 10, i've probably only got it running great once and not sure how i done it | 04:58 |
| tony_ | also get this error after restarting "No /usr/bin/mythbackend found running; none killed", not sure the relevance | 05:01 |
| superm1 | this is why we created mythbuntu... so you could just install directly without running into problems related to configuration | 05:13 |
| tony_ | but mythbuntu doesn't easily allow you to use apps, correct? | 05:15 |
| tony_ | i need a desktop in the same system | 05:16 |
| superm1 | well for cases that you still want a desktop, that's why there is installing this stuff from mythbuntu-control-centre. it abstracts a lot of the configuration stuff | 05:21 |
| tony_ | so i can install the control center and should be easier to config with no probs? | 05:29 |
| superm1 | if you wipe all your myth* packages | 05:32 |
| superm1 | and mysql server packages | 05:32 |
| superm1 | eg purge those packages | 05:32 |
| superm1 | (or completely remove them from synaptic) | 05:32 |
| superm1 | and then install the control centre that should resolve issues | 05:32 |
| tony_ | so what exactly should i purge? i tried to purge mysql* and it asked if wanted to remove a lot of other kde4 stuff | 05:37 |
| superm1 | mysql-server-* | 05:38 |
| superm1 | mysql-server* | 05:38 |
| superm1 | better yet | 05:38 |
| superm1 | and mythtv* | 05:38 |
| tony_ | thanks, i'll give it a shot | 05:42 |
| ChrisC35 | hi | 07:04 |
| ChrisC35 | in the install, how do I know what nvidia driver to use? I have a Radeon 9700 pro with svideo out, etc. the choices are nvidia 2-4, 5+ ? | 07:05 |
| superm1 | so you dont want to use nvidia drivers then :) | 07:05 |
| ChrisC35 | why not | 07:05 |
| superm1 | you dont have an nvidia card | 07:05 |
| ChrisC35 | ah yes right | 07:05 |
| superm1 | radeon 9700 is an ati card | 07:05 |
| ChrisC35 | ati | 07:05 |
| ChrisC35 | should i pick default open source driver? | 07:06 |
| superm1 | well you can try it | 07:06 |
| superm1 | if it doesnt work well for your needs, you can switch to the proprietary AMD driver instead | 07:06 |
| ChrisC35 | will it allow me to use the svideo out to my tv? | 07:07 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure tbh. it does for some AMD cards | 07:07 |
| superm1 | but not all | 07:07 |
| ChrisC35 | amd cards? | 07:08 |
| ChrisC35 | whats that | 07:08 |
| superm1 | AMD bought ATI | 07:08 |
| ChrisC35 | oh | 07:08 |
| ChrisC35 | so i should use the amd driver shouldnt i? | 07:08 |
| superm1 | well it's up to you | 07:08 |
| superm1 | you can switch back to the open source if you dont like the closed source | 07:09 |
| superm1 | or to the closed source if you dont like the open source | 07:09 |
| ChrisC35 | what is the difference? | 07:09 |
| superm1 | the closed source supports more features on the card generally | 07:09 |
| superm1 | but you are at AMD's whim then regarding support. if the open source has a bug, you can file it and then get community based support | 07:10 |
| superm1 | when i say features, i mean stuff like low power modes, better graphics acceleration in some cases, textured video on some cards | 07:10 |
| ChrisC35 | ic | 07:10 |
| superm1 | you are probably best trying the open source oe | 07:11 |
| superm1 | and if you dont like how its working | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | all i need is to watch tv | 07:11 |
| superm1 | or it doesnt cut it, doesnt do svid | 07:11 |
| superm1 | or something like that | 07:11 |
| superm1 | then try the closed one | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | wont be playing games | 07:11 |
| superm1 | it's easy enough to turn on post install | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | what is svid? | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | oh svideo out | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | ok | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | i'll try open first then, thanks | 07:11 |
| ChrisC35 | actually i chose amd, cause with open it disables tvout. I was able to choose svideo | 07:14 |
| ChrisC35 | it seems to hang on 5% though. It displays the HD as scsi ata - but its an ide drive. Is that normal? | 07:14 |
| superm1 | the open driver may support it without any configuration options | 07:14 |
| superm1 | that's why that section was greyed out | 07:14 |
| superm1 | it is formatting the drive at about that time usually | 07:15 |
| ChrisC35 | how long does it take to format a 250 gb drive? | 07:15 |
| ChrisC35 | and why would it show it as scsi | 07:16 |
| foxbuntu | ChrisC35, SATA is SCSI | 07:16 |
| ChrisC35 | ya but i have an ide drive | 07:17 |
| superm1 | everything goes through the scsi subsystem driver now on kernel 2.6.24 | 07:17 |
| ChrisC35 | ok | 07:17 |
| superm1 | its a common driver between the drives now | 07:17 |
| ChrisC35 | its taking a LOOONG time at 5% | 07:17 |
| superm1 | is the activity light flickering? | 07:18 |
| ChrisC35 | its saying creating ext3 file system | 07:18 |
| foxbuntu | superm1, thats really odd that they are using a scsi driver as a common ground now for all drives | 07:18 |
| ChrisC35 | dont see light flickering | 07:18 |
| ChrisC35 | mouse still works though | 07:19 |
| superm1 | ChrisC35, well if you suspect that something might have frozen/locked up during install, you can check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug | 07:20 |
| superm1 | open a terminal from the applications menu and you can look at those logs | 07:20 |
| ChrisC35 | from the opening install screen, with all the options? | 07:25 |
| superm1 | while the installer is running through it's little progress window | 07:27 |
| ChrisC35 | how do i get the terminal window then? | 07:34 |
| ChrisC35 | theres a little dialog with the progress bar | 07:34 |
| ChrisC35 | its still on 5% | 07:34 |
| ChrisC35 | for about 20 mins | 07:34 |
| ChrisC35 | thres nothing else on the screen besides the dialog | 07:35 |
| superm1 | ChrisC35, click the applications menu at the top left | 07:40 |
| superm1 | and open the terminal from taht | 07:40 |
| ChrisC35 | top left of what, the dialog? | 07:58 |
| ChrisC35 | there is nothing else on the screen besides the progress bar dialog | 07:58 |
| ChrisC35 | and on the dialog, there is no applications menu | 07:59 |
| superm1 | oh you just picked "install" | 07:59 |
| superm1 | rather than live mode | 07:59 |
| superm1 | if you boot into live mode | 07:59 |
| superm1 | you can still do a regular install | 08:00 |
| superm1 | but you'll have the ability to debug these sorts of problems | 08:00 |
| superm1 | although it hanging at this point is rather unassuring. you might make sure your drive is wiped before you start install | 08:00 |
| superm1 | this part of the installer doesn't differ from the normal ubuntu installation process, so it's surprising to see problems there | 08:00 |
| ChrisC35 | hmm the drive is brand new | 08:01 |
| ChrisC35 | although it was droppped 2.5 feet onto a carpeted floor by my son | 08:01 |
| superm1 | yeah well restart into live mode | 08:02 |
| superm1 | give things a run from there | 08:02 |
| superm1 | you'll be able to see a lot better if there are errors coming up | 08:02 |
| ChrisC35 | ok | 08:02 |
| superm1 | and if for some reason it being dropped did cause problems, you'll see those in the logs | 08:02 |
| superm1 | or at least in the output of the 'dmesg' command | 08:02 |
| ChrisC35 | gunna log on here from my laptop | 08:03 |
| superm1 | well i'm gonna hit the sack actually,best of luck. if you dont sort things out, l i'll see you again tomorrow :) | 08:04 |
| ChrisC35 | ok thanks | 08:05 |
| ChrisC36 | hi | 08:08 |
| ChrisC36 | I can never get past the 5% at install, where it is partition formatting | 08:34 |
| ChrisC36 | is there an error console? | 08:34 |
| ChrisC36 | also is there a util on the live cd for formatting the drive? | 08:34 |
| haffe | mke2fs -j should format the drive | 08:38 |
| ChrisC36 | k | 08:40 |
| ChrisC36 | is there a way to test the drive to make sure it is working right? | 08:45 |
| ChrisC36 | its brand new, but it was dropped | 08:45 |

| haffe | Ok. I think I've gotten most of mythtv to work. However I have some issues left that I would like som help with. | 09:37 |
| haffe | I have a remote, I wish the power button on the remote to put the system in hibernate and wake the system from hibernate. Is this possible? | 09:38 |
| ChrisC36 | hi - about this schedules direct with its fee - is there a free way? on other pvr software i've used in windows, the tv schedule is there and free | 09:57 |
| hads | I'm sure you could scrape web pages if you wanted to. | 10:01 |
| ChrisC36 | what do you mean | 10:01 |
| ChrisC36 | is that the only option for tv schedule data setup in mythtv? | 10:02 |
| hads | I have no idea, here we get data from the DVB stream. I'd guess schedules direct is probably your best option in the US. | 10:03 |
| ChrisC36 | i'min | 10:05 |
| ChrisC36 | I'm in Canada | 10:05 |
| ChrisC36 | my pvr on windows has all the scheduling for free | 10:05 |
| hads | OK | 10:05 |
| ChrisC36 | is there a configuration for it , is what i'm asking, in mythtv? | 10:06 |
| hads | I have no idea. I'm don't know anything about the setup in Canada. | 10:07 |
| ChrisC36 | what is scraping? | 10:08 |
| hads | I wouldn't have thought that $20/year was that bad anyway. | 10:09 |
| hads | http://www.google.com/search?q=scraping | 10:09 |
| ChrisC36 | its not bad, but free is better | 10:10 |
| ChrisC36 | do you always give your money out so easilly? | 10:10 |
| waxhead_ | hey everyone... | 11:20 |
| waxhead_ | should a Nvidia GeForce 8600GT with 512meg do the job for HD TV? | 11:20 |
| hads | That would depend what you mean by HD. | 11:25 |
| hads | If it's MPEG2 based then yes it should be fine with a decent CPU. | 11:26 |

| waxhead_ | famicom_: bit cynical... :) | 12:00 |
| mib_t4532b6z | can someone help me? | 12:01 |
| haffe | What is your problem? | 12:01 |
| waxhead_ | mib_t4532b6z: just as the question | 12:01 |
| mib_t4532b6z | i'm config the LinuxMce, I alreadt config, the DVD, Pictures, Lights and Shutters Controls | 12:03 |
| mib_t4532b6z | now is the TV | 12:03 |
| mib_t4532b6z | but exist a lot of informatiion about the MythTV | 12:03 |
| mib_t4532b6z | I'm a little confused | 12:04 |
| mib_t4532b6z | :)~ | 12:04 |
| mib_t4532b6z | I have a TV tuner, ASUS My Cinema - P7131 HYBRID, and want to start using | 12:05 |
| haffe | Start by configuring a capture card. | 12:05 |
| mib_t4532b6z | that is my problem! :) | 12:05 |
| mib_t4532b6z | it is necessary install any driver, or library? | 12:05 |
| haffe | No shouldn't be. | 12:06 |
| mib_t4532b6z | exist some tutorial? | 12:06 |
| mib_t4532b6z | he doesn't detected automatically | 12:08 |
| mib_t4532b6z | I have to config manually | 12:08 |
| waxhead_ | mib_t4532b6z: is the TV card supported? | 12:10 |
| waxhead_ | it's what I'm learning in general.. go with the hardware that is supported.. | 12:10 |
| mib_t4532b6z | I think the answer is yes, but I already have this card | 12:16 |
| mib_t4532b6z | I do not have choice | 12:17 |
| mib_t4532b6z | :) | 12:17 |
| mib_t4532b6z | where can i find a good tutotrial? | 12:26 |
| mib_t4532b6z | to learn how to config this? | 12:26 |
| waxhead_ | mib_t4532b6z: I'm going the easy way, but it's going to cost, I'm getting a new tuner card and video card.. | 12:51 |
| waxhead_ | mib_t4532b6z: just simpler in the end. | 12:51 |
