| Ace2016 | Hi all | 14:08 |
| Ace2016 | i'm about to make a mythtv theme, i need a bit of help | 14:08 |
| Ace2016 | What theme should i base it on? | 14:08 |
| DaveMorris | Ace2016: Personally I'd base it on one you already like | 14:09 |
| Ace2016 | i'm redoing all the graphics from scratch | 14:09 |
| Ace2016 | so i want a theme that works | 14:09 |
| Ace2016 | i made a gtk2 theme to find that the theme was broken | 14:10 |
| DaveMorris | ahh, you want GTK2 themes | 14:10 |
| Ace2016 | no | 14:10 |
| Ace2016 | i want a working mythtv theme | 14:10 |
| Ace2016 | one thats complete and working well | 14:11 |
| DaveMorris | use one of the offical mythbuntu ones then | 14:11 |
| Ace2016 | where can i get the theme from? | 14:11 |
| DaveMorris | apt-get source mythtv-theme-mythbuntu on the command line will put it in your current directory | 14:12 |
| Ace2016 | but i haven't built the box yet so i need to download it from somewhere | 14:12 |
| DaveMorris | you have a ubuntu machine anyway? | 14:13 |
| DaveMorris | s/anyway/anywhere | 14:13 |
| Ace2016 | no i use debian | 14:13 |
| jphillip | packages.ubuntu.com should point you at it, though it may not be the most recent | 14:13 |
| jphillip | can't he get it from LP? | 14:13 |
| DaveMorris | you can, I'm just trying to find a url | 14:14 |
| Ace2016 | LP? | 14:14 |
| Ace2016 | is it a requirement to have a vertical menu? | 14:14 |
| Ace2016 | all the screenshots i see have a vertical list | 14:14 |
| Ace2016 | who designs the mythbuntu themes? | 14:15 |
| DaveMorris | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/mythtv-theme-mythbuntu/mythtv-theme-mythbuntu_0.20080421.tar.gz | 14:15 |
| DaveMorris | I can't remember atm, poke laga or superm1 they'll prob remember | 14:16 |
| Ace2016 | thanks | 14:16 |
| Ace2016 | can buttons overlap in the themes? | 14:17 |
| Ace2016 | is there a video of mythbuntu of the start up? | 14:18 |
| Ace2016 | i want to see if i need a matching splash screen too | 14:19 |
| Ace2016 | this would be nice as a boot splash http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv/themes/mythtv_addict_wide.png | 14:21 |
| DaveMorris | http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mythbuntu-artwork-usplash for the usplash theme and http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gtk2-engines-mythbuntu for the gtk+ theme | 14:21 |
| Ace2016 | do i need a gtk theme? | 14:22 |
| Ace2016 | its only a media centre | 14:22 |
| DaveMorris | it's used for the mythbuntu control center etc | 14:22 |
| DaveMorris | http://mythbuntu.com/files/images/7.10_final_usplash.preview.png is the usplash currently in use. | 14:22 |
| laga | no, we have the chrome one currently | 14:23 |
| Ace2016 | laga: who made the current mythbuntu theme? | 14:25 |
| laga | troy_s and foxbuntu, i believe | 14:27 |
| laga | it's based on justinh's work | 14:27 |
| Ace2016 | whats that? | 14:27 |
| Ace2016 | the old theme? | 14:27 |
| * DaveMorris hasn't got a mythbuntu usplash theme installed anyway, I should prehaps replace my ubuntu one | 14:28 | |
| laga | what's what?! | 14:29 |
| Ace2016 | I think i'll try and make this in mythtv http://xazac87.deviantart.com/art/Windows-Media-Center-2008-75565961 | 14:29 |
| laga | good luck. looks nice, but i don't know how well it'll work on a ten foot UI | 14:31 |
| Ace2016 | what is it based on? what is justinh's work? | 14:31 |
| Ace2016 | 10 foot ui? | 14:31 |
| Ace2016 | ... | 14:31 |
| Ace2016 | you have a 10 foot screen? | 14:32 |
| Ace2016 | o_o | 14:32 |
| Ace2016 | -.- | 14:32 |
| laga | no. when you're sitting 10 foot away from the screen :) | 14:33 |
| laga | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-foot_user_interface | 14:33 |
| Ace2016 | good point | 14:35 |
| Ace2016 | can things like date be displayed on the mythtv skin? | 14:44 |
| jphillip | the time is in a corner currently, so I would imagine so | 14:49 |
| Ace2016 | ah ok | 14:51 |
| Ace2016 | for some reason i thought making a theme would take me a day | 14:55 |
| Ace2016 | i see now that this is going to take longer | 14:55 |
| Ace2016 | What does the optical disks section do? | 15:05 |
| Ace2016 | does it play a dvd? | 15:05 |
| jphillip | play/rip optical discs | 15:09 |
| Ace2016 | so dvds and audio cds? | 15:10 |
| jphillip | vcd's as well | 15:12 |
| superm1 | oh noes i was called upon? | 15:42 |
| superm1 | Ace2016, if you are looking to base anything on our existing themes, or packaging to them, they are all available in apt | 15:43 |
| superm1 | mythbuntu-artwork-usplash, mythtv-theme-mythbuntu, gtk2-engines-mythbuntu | 15:43 |
| superm1 | first for usplash, second for myth theme, third for gtk2 theme | 15:43 |
| superm1 | you are probably working on the second itme | 15:44 |
| superm1 | so you can apt-get source from a hardy box or you can grab from launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/PACKAGE where PACKAGE is the package name i just said | 15:44 |
| Ace2016 | superm1: thanks | 15:55 |
| Ace2016 | superm1: would it be possible to add a disk space meter at the bottom? i think it would be something important to the end user to know how much space is left. i would hate if a recording stopped in the middle | 15:58 |
| superm1 | not without coding changes i dont think | 15:59 |
| superm1 | but recordings will auto expire | 15:59 |
| superm1 | if disk space is low | 15:59 |
| Ace2016 | does mythtv themes not support commands with say the watch command? so you could watch -n5 time or something like that | 16:00 |
| superm1 | well there is no widget for that stuff | 16:00 |
| superm1 | the new qt4 stuff would be more likely to show it | 16:01 |
| superm1 | there is a information center page that shows that information | 16:01 |
| Ace2016 | i wanted to get rid of the information center, put any important info into other areas | 16:02 |
| superm1 | you might consider asking to help with that in #mythtv | 16:03 |
| superm1 | for the next release | 16:03 |
| superm1 | they can point you with some ideas of how to do so | 16:03 |
| superm1 | with the new qt4 stuff and get you started there | 16:03 |
| Ace2016 | ok thanks | 16:04 |
| hti_pro | having trouble with video playback, it works fine at first but after a few minutes it starts gettin choppy, any ideas | 17:28 |
| ficoficofico | I guys, I'm not able to scan channels with my dual feed astra hotbird on mythtv | 17:48 |
| ficoficofico | I've configured the 4 stages | 17:49 |
| ficoficofico | but nothing....... maybe I need aid.. | 17:49 |
| ficoficofico | there's someone that want to aid me configuring my system? | 17:50 |
| ficoficofico | no one? | 18:17 |
| javatexan1 | hey guys that last update for mythbuntu 8.04 killed lirc...lirc starts but won't take inputs...It looks like it overwrote the existing setup (i guess)...anyone know of a forum article or something to fix it...updated it last night...sorry lost connection somehow...LOL | 18:42 |
| laga | javatexan1: let's see.. | 18:42 |
| jphillip | javatexan1 it should have mdae backips of the configs | 18:43 |
| jphillip | there was (not sure it still exists) a bug that lirc updates would overwrite custom configs | 18:43 |
| javatexan1 | well my 8.04 was an upgrade from 7. | 18:44 |
| javatexan1 | I have noticed some configuration differences between my upgraded box and native 8.04 installs...everything I've seen so far are cosmetic | 18:45 |
| laga | javatexan1: have you seen this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824870 | 18:47 |
| laga | not sure if there's a fix in there, didnt read it ;) | 18:47 |
| javatexan1 | nope...missed that one. LOL. did you google to find it? | 18:48 |
| laga | no | 18:48 |
| laga | used my eyes ;) | 18:48 |
| javatexan1 | doh.....I've been spoiled by google...It catches most things.... | 18:48 |
| laga | if they're indexed already.. and high enough in the search ranking | 18:49 |
| javatexan1 | darn...it looks like my hardware was backed up, but lircd.conf was overwritten. I have hardware.conf hardware.conf.old and lircd.conf all with the same time...but no lircd.conf.old | 18:59 |
| jphillip | do you have a lircd.conf.dpkg-old | 19:03 |
| javatexan1 | fixed....there was a backup from the lircd.conff.dpkg-old | 19:04 |
| javatexan1 | ah...LOL | 19:04 |
| javatexan1 | thanks jphillip | 19:04 |
| jphillip | np | 19:12 |
| mthaddon | anyone able to help me with this - https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+question/35542 | 19:38 |
| haffe | Have you run mythfilldatabase? | 19:46 |
| mthaddon | yes, still get the same error message telling me I need to run mythfilldatabase | 19:46 |
| haffe | Wait- | 20:02 |
| haffe | Are you running on external listings ie xmlttv ? | 20:02 |
| mthaddon | I have Schedules Direct - is that what you mean? | 20:03 |
| haffe | Yes. | 20:03 |
| haffe | Have you set up an account and such? | 20:03 |
| mthaddon | yep, and confirmed it's downloading data okay | 20:03 |
| haffe | I think you have to run mythfilldatabase --manual the first time if you're using an external source. | 20:04 |
| mthaddon | I can try that | 20:04 |
| mthaddon | haffe, ran "mythfilldatabase --manual" - http://paste.ubuntu.com/19428/ - and then ran mythtv-setup again, and still got the same message telling me I need to run mythfilldatabase | 20:20 |
| haffe | Did you answer all the questions? | 20:21 |
| mthaddon | it didn't ask me any questions | 20:21 |
| haffe | Ok, I'm really sorry, I'm out of ideas. | 20:22 |
| mthaddon | I've already put in my info about username/password for Schedules Direct | 20:22 |
| mthaddon | ok, thx anyway | 20:22 |
| laga | for SD, you don't need mfdb --manual | 20:22 |
| mthaddon | laga, mfdb seems to be working fine - it's just that mythtv-setup doesn't seem to think it is... (keeps prompting me to rerun it) | 20:33 |
| stu | anyone know why when I escape from live TV it crashes MythTV ? kicks me back to the desktop | 21:45 |
| foxbuntu | stu, what version of mythbuntu, what tuner, when did you last update the system? | 21:50 |
| stu | whatever is in the respos | 21:50 |
| stu | and im fully up to date... so like yesterday I guess | 21:50 |
| stu | I loose track of all the updates, drives me crazy | 21:50 |
| stu | respos = repos | 21:51 |
| foxbuntu | do a uname -r and give me that result | 21:51 |
| stu | 2.6.24-18-generic | 21:51 |
| stu | actually I turned off updates the other day thinking about it | 21:52 |
| stu | they keep breaking my hardware | 21:52 |
| foxbuntu | breaking your hardware? | 21:52 |
| stu | yeah.. for example to get my IR receiver to work I have to hack the source code for the appleir.c in ubuntu-modules | 21:53 |
| stu | to get sound to work I need to add options to alsa soruce | 21:53 |
| stu | whenever a new module update is available it un does all that and installs its own thing | 21:53 |
| stu | so I have to go and download the modules source, recompile etc | 21:54 |
| stu | you think an update may fix this issue ?? if so i'll do it... | 21:54 |
| foxbuntu | what tuner is it? | 21:54 |
| stu | hauppage wintv nova | 21:54 |
| stu | the front end on the back end doesnt have this problem | 21:55 |
| stu | so im doubtfull its the tuner | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | oh this is a FE only machine? | 21:55 |
| stu | its when I exit live TV on the FE only machine the whole FE crashes | 21:55 |
| stu | instead of taking me back to the menu | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | ok... | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | anything in the logs? | 21:55 |
| foxbuntu | what vid card is in this machine? | 21:56 |
| stu | I tried starting it from the terminal so I could keep an eye on it... not had a look at the logs but can do | 21:56 |
| stu | ATI | 21:56 |
| foxbuntu | which driver are you using? (i.e. fglrx) | 21:56 |
| stu | 2008-06-11 21:56:37.898 TV: Changing from WatchingRecording to None | 21:57 |
| stu | 2008-06-11 21:56:37.937 DPMS Reactivated. | 21:57 |
| foxbuntu | ok nothing in the logs then | 21:57 |
| foxbuntu | thats the normal actions | 21:57 |
| stu | i'm not entirely sure.. I installed the driver from the restricted drivers but I have made changes to xorg.conf | 21:57 |
| foxbuntu | check your xorg for the driver | 21:57 |
| stu | yes fglrx | 21:58 |
| foxbuntu | are you using QT or OpenGL in the Frontend? | 21:58 |
| stu | opengl | 21:58 |
| stu | i'll try QT | 21:58 |
| foxbuntu | no | 21:58 |
| foxbuntu | opengl is best | 21:58 |
| foxbuntu | for this | 21:58 |
| stu | yeah its still crashing :P | 21:59 |
| foxbuntu | is the frontend mythtv .21? | 21:59 |
| foxbuntu | ( I assume so...but just asking ) | 21:59 |
| stu | where do I check that ? | 21:59 |
| stu | in myth I guess | 21:59 |
| foxbuntu | no | 22:00 |
| stu | system status or so? | 22:00 |
| stu | oh | 22:00 |
| foxbuntu | apt-cache policy mythtv-frontend | 22:00 |
| stu | 0.21 | 22:01 |
| foxbuntu | k | 22:01 |
| stu | +fixes | 22:01 |
| foxbuntu | right | 22:01 |
| stu | this only started happening recently | 22:01 |
| stu | may have been after an update | 22:01 |
| stu | so perhaps I should do another update, reboot, and check | 22:01 |
| foxbuntu | when you run it in terminal and it crashes does anything inteligent show up as an error? | 22:01 |
| stu | nope, same as the logs | 22:01 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 22:01 |
| foxbuntu | yeah I guess try updates like this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | foxbuntu, the sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is redundent | 22:14 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, no its not | 22:15 |
| foxbuntu | they pull seperate upgrades | 22:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | dist-upgrade just says it's ok to install new packages if they are required | 22:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | perhaps you are right though | 22:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no time, have to run | 22:16 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I agree with tgm4883_laptop | 22:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | bah, now I feel dirty | 22:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | really leaving now | 22:19 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | heh | 22:19 |
| * tgm4883_laptop exits gracefully | 22:19 | |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991_laptop, I have seen it more than once apply updates that upgrade doesnt | 22:20 |
| foxbuntu | usually kernel upgrades | 22:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | dist-upgrade will | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | but it will grab everything that upgrade does too | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | From the man-page: | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | "upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | ... | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages" | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | so you only need to dist-upgrade | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | yup | 22:22 |
| foxbuntu | but not what tgm4883_laptop was saying | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I think we are all on the same page, but using different words | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | thats how I read what tgm4883_laptop said | 22:23 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 22:23 |
| foxbuntu | well no biggy | 22:23 |
| foxbuntu | just as well all understand | 22:23 |
| siwon | Am i in the channel | 23:00 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | yes | 23:00 |
| siwon | hmmm, got a question about the live cd, when i boot it up and its running | 23:01 |
| siwon | i launch the myth then it goes through its control center right | 23:02 |
| siwon | its asking me for setup of a backend? | 23:02 |
| siwon | does it need a backend to run it | 23:02 |
| laga | yes | 23:02 |
| siwon | so i must setup this on an external drive or a usb stick, i don't want to install on this system yet until i give it a trial runthrough | 23:05 |
| laga | basically, yes. or you need another backend somewhere on your LAN | 23:06 |
| siwon | manual is not clear on how to setup this way | 23:06 |
| siwon | all my pcs are vista, i do not have a backend installed anywhere | 23:07 |
| siwon | i have to build one | 23:07 |
| laga | while we're at it: you'll also need a tv tuner card in your computer which is supported by linux | 23:07 |
| siwon | ah i got a tuner card but its not installed, i have a dvb-s generic BDA card in it for sat reception | 23:09 |
| siwon | haven't set that up yet | 23:09 |
| laga | well, "generic BDA" probably also means there's a windows driver which provides a special interface.. it'll have to work in linux :) | 23:10 |
| siwon | not so much into the tv part yet, just the media library access only for now | 23:10 |
| laga | ah | 23:10 |
| siwon | i'm using vistas media center which you know is ***, and i've tried mediaportal but its limited | 23:11 |
| siwon | so though i'd try linux and myth | 23:12 |
| siwon | but not to familar with linux | 23:12 |
| siwon | tried linuxmce but wow thats a lot of work and failed miserably at it | 23:13 |
| siwon | maybe in the future again i will try | 23:14 |
| siwon | so haow do i get it to see anything on my lan | 23:14 |
| laga | heh, sorry. i haven't used windows in ages. maybe someone else knows what mythbuntu uses by default :) | 23:17 |
| siwon | will mythbuntu repartition a drive that has windows on it successfully? | 23:43 |
| stu | can anyone tell me how to revert my mythtv OSD settings to default? I've messed around with the fonts and now I cant get it to look decent anymore | 23:44 |
| siwon | sory | 23:45 |
| foxbuntu | stu, there is not revert to default option, you just have to put them back | 23:52 |
| foxbuntu | stu, sorry i had to run off, howd the updates work out? | 23:52 |
