MythbuntuGuest00test00:39
* Seeker` is still annoyed by the fact that mythtv retunes when it starts to record a program, even if the channel to be recorded is the one you are currently watching01:04
Seeker`it means that if there are two programs in a row that I want to watch, I tend to miss 5 or 6 seconds at the end of a program01:08
Seeker`which usually happens to be the "important" bit01:08
superm1hey kees you were mentioning issues with NFS and mythplugins at some point right?02:30
superm1kees, would you be able to test the SRU packages for hardy to see that they resolve the issue?02:30
foxbuntusuperm1, so...since the "upstream" for the apple trailers is a static version while the upgrades I have made are going to be maintained in our branch do I just change TARFILE to the tar file name where I got it?02:52
superm1 foxbuntu are you forking their project?02:54
superm1or will the upstream still be maintaining02:54
foxbuntuI am forking as the author seems to have dropped it02:54
superm1well if that's the case you are the upstream?02:55
foxbuntuyeah I guess...since I modfied the code and gave credit where its due02:55
superm1okay well so then you'll need to package it just like we do packages that we've become the upstream02:55
superm1where we build the orig.tar.gz02:55
superm1from the branch, but dont include debian/ in that direcotry02:56
superm1all of our packages except for mythtv-theme-* do that02:56
foxbuntusuperm1, this is my rules file02:56
foxbuntuhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/20028/02:56
superm1okay so use that rule to build an orig.tar.gz file02:57
superm1that's what its there for02:57
superm1do you understand what it does?02:57
foxbuntuno02:57
superm1so when you call debian/rules get-orig-source02:57
superm1get-orig-source is the argument02:57
superm1so it runs all the stuff before get-orig-source, and then the get-orig-source target02:57
superm1so decipher the lines in get-orig-source one by one02:58
superm1it checks out from bzr02:58
superm1tars that up w/o debian/02:58
superm1and then removes the directory it just checked out02:58
foxbuntuok02:58
foxbuntuso how is this effecting the lintian issue?03:00
superm1well you are entirely missing that orig.tar.gz file03:01
superm1when you run this rule you build it for the first time03:02
foxbuntuand it runs via debuild right?03:02
superm1no03:04
superm1you run it your self03:04
superm1debuild calls dpkg-buildpackage03:04
superm1which calls debian/rules binary at some point03:04
foxbuntuoh... so the rules file is actually just a script?03:05
foxbuntuthats what I was missing03:05
superm1its a type of makefile03:07
superm1so to say03:07
foxbuntuok.. so now that I have that what do I do?03:08
foxbuntudpkg-buildpackage and then double check it with lintian?03:09
superm1have you not read the packaging guide at all?03:10
foxbuntuno I read it...parts anyways03:10
foxbuntuI knew you could help :)03:10
superm1well i'm just saying, you learn the best when you find on the guide pages what you are looking for03:11
superm1it sinks in better03:11
superm1if i just tell you do step a, then step b, then step c, you dont learn what step a b and c really are doing03:11
superm1so when you need to do step b.2 in the future, you dont understand what step b is supposed to accomplish03:11
foxbuntuno I really am learning it this way...03:12
foxbuntuI learn better this way than reading03:12
superm1you should attend the next packaging session that they hold in #ubuntu-classroom :)03:12
superm1they hold sessions teaching intricacies and $stuff03:12
foxbuntusure...but for the sake of now... what is step c? (and dont say Profit!)03:13
superm1well build the package with your favorite builder, and make sure that it is lintian clean03:14
foxbuntusuperm1, ok do I have to have the motu folks nuke my previous upload to upload my clean one?03:18
superm1no03:18
foxbuntuoh...but the package name has changed03:18
foxbuntuI had a the version as 0.1-0ubuntu1 and now its 0.1ubuntu103:19
superm1um03:19
superm1that was right before03:19
superm1upstream version 0.103:19
superm1debian 003:19
superm1ubuntu 103:19
foxbuntuoh...well debuild failed with the -0 in there03:20

keessuperm1: uhm -- a while back with the video viewer I had ended up in some weird endless symlink loop -- not sure why.  technically over NFS, but nothing since then.05:05
superm1kees, well these should have been errors at package upgrade/install time05:06
superm1causing the postinst to bork out05:07
keeshm, that wasn't me.  I did have _X_FS destroy my libc upgrade, but that was only related to mythtv in that it was the myth box's root partition that got destroyed.05:07
Solarbabyforking sporking.. I love programming tech talk05:07
superm1hum. i thought bryce said you also had issues with NFS05:25
superm1okay05:25

baalsgatemythbuntu 8.04 suxs broke my ir sending from 7.10 :(10:50
baalsgateusing ledxmit cant compile lirc-0.8.3pre1 thus cant fix :(10:52
baalsgateI said upgrading would break things but no I get told in here its all fixed in 8.04 I have more problems now then before upgrading not sure if its fixed the cron jobs10:55
baalsgateok cron is now working that is something good10:56
baalsgatebut my serial IR blaster is now broken :(10:57
* baalsgate crys and walks off to get some chocolate cake10:57
jo1hello, I'm having a problem with epg, using 2 DVB-T cards and Mythtv works mostly ok. I'm in Finland where the EPG is in two languages, most of the program info is in Finnish, but randomly has some programs in Swedish. I had this problem very rarely in Gutsy, but after upgrading to Hardy this problem appears in every channel everyday. Can anyone help with this?14:22
baalsgatehello ??14:42
sebrockwhats up with NFS in 8.04? I get mount.nfs: internal error on boot but works fine when I do mount -a logged in16:06
bazzawillI moved to sshfs only used nfs for a few months16:07
sebrockthat would be painfull on performance....16:08
bazzawillnever been a problem for me I use it for compressed avi's mainly but I have used it for HD with no problem16:09
tgm4883_laptopsebrock, my guess would be that the network isn't up when it tries to mount them at boot16:10
sebrockwas my guess aswell...16:10
sebrocknow is it dhcdbd that starts the network?16:11
sebrockat what point is fstab run?16:13
sebrockmoved it in rc.2 but didnt change anything16:14
sebrockI must say 8.04 just seems buggy right now16:14
tgm4883_laptopsebrock, all things seem buggy when they don't work for you16:17
sebrockif you would experience what I do here on this fresh install of mythbuntu 8.04 I think you would be convinced... same HW ran fine on 7.0416:18
sebrock7.10 sorry16:18
tgm4883_laptopyou missed my point16:18
tgm4883_laptopit's all relative16:18
sebrockof cause it is16:18
sebrockI didnt mean to be rude16:18
sebrockanyway, what starts the networking?16:19
sebrockI cant see anyhting in rc.2 that is networking, except dhcdbd. I still can see that the networking icon on the upper right is crossed out the first second I enter the desktop16:20
tgm4883_laptopsebrock, maybe start hal before dhcdbd16:24
sebrocknope does not work16:38
sebrocktgm4883_laptop, still mount.nfs: internal error (the best debug info ever :)16:38
sebrockrpc16:40
sebrockits def about the networking not beeing up anyway, rpcbind gets timed out16:41
sebrockwhy mythbuntu configures it this way is still a mystery for me16:44
ShiftyPowersis it possible to instlal mythbuntu on an existing desktop?16:45
ShiftyPowersusing hte packages?16:45
tgm4883_laptopyes16:45
tgm4883_laptopinstall mythbuntu-control-centre16:45
tgm4883_laptopthen configure the system from there16:45
ShiftyPowersnot mythbuntu-desktop?16:47
ShiftyPowersjust install mythbuntu-control-centre first16:47
ShiftyPowers?16:47
tgm4883_laptopyes16:47
tgm4883_laptopdo mcc first16:47
tgm4883_laptopand configure it16:47
tgm4883_laptopmcc will pull the packages it needs16:47
tgm4883_laptopdepending on what you select16:47
ShiftyPowersgotcha16:50
ShiftyPowerswas having all sorts of issues installing it just now16:50
ShiftyPowersi'm purging my system and going to try again16:50
ShiftyPowersshoudl I be running mythbuntu or just standalone mythtv?16:55
ShiftyPowershmm16:55
tgm4883_laptopyou can convert a ubuntu system into a mythbuntu system.  It really depends on what you want to use it for16:56
ShiftyPowersit will 99% of hte time be running mythfrontend16:57
tgm4883_laptopand when not?16:57
ShiftyPowersbut it already has been configured for FTP server, www server16:57
ShiftyPowersi'd rather not mess with those settings by reinstalling16:57
tgm4883_laptopare you going to be using it as a desktop?16:57
ShiftyPowersso hence i think installing the package for mythtbuntu is a better approach16:57
ShiftyPowersnope16:57
ShiftyPowersit's the HTPC16:57
tgm4883_laptopis it the primary backend?16:58
ShiftyPowersyeah it's the primary backend an dth efrontend16:59
ShiftyPowersit had mythtv installed for a while16:59
ShiftyPowersbut i was running SVN trunk16:59
ShiftyPowersand now i'm trying to revert back to a stable system16:59
ShiftyPowersand thought mythbuntu might be a good way to do it16:59
tgm4883_laptophmm16:59
tgm4883_laptopdid you remove all things related to that?17:00
ShiftyPowersyep17:00
tgm4883_laptopinstall mcc, then select primary backend and frontend.  It should also grab the theming stuff and set autologin17:00
ShiftyPowersyeah doing that right now17:00
ShiftyPowerslet's see if it works17:00
ShiftyPowersshould i select a desktop role?17:01
tgm4883_laptopno17:01
ShiftyPowersit's applying17:01
ShiftyPowerslet's see if this works17:01
ShiftyPowerslast time it gave me some issues with libmyth17:01
ShiftyPowersshould i reboot now17:02
ShiftyPowersit installed17:03
ShiftyPowersor should i stay in mcc?17:03
ShiftyPowersand finish the config?17:03
tgm4883_laptopconfigure the backend first17:03
ShiftyPowersah yes the old familiar backend config17:05
ShiftyPowersat least it works now17:05
ShiftyPowerstgm4883_laptop, do you have an HD card in your setup?17:11
tgm4883_laptopnot anymore17:14
tgm4883_laptopI moved an can only get directv now17:14
tgm4883_laptopwhy whats up?17:16
ShiftyPowerswhat the? how do i start the mythbackend?17:33
tgm4883_laptopShiftyPowers, should start automatically at boot17:36
tgm4883_laptopyou can also do17:36
tgm4883_laptopsudo /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart17:36
ShiftyPowersthere is not mythbackend in my init.d17:37
ShiftyPowersthat's what's weird17:37
tgm4883_laptopmythtv-backend?17:37
ShiftyPowersnope17:38
ShiftyPowersif i start it manually it works17:38
ShiftyPowersweird17:39
ShiftyPowersyeah that's weird17:41
ShiftyPowersmaybe something was missing on the install?17:41
ShiftyPowersso odd17:41
tgm4883_laptopnope, it would have grabbed all necessary packages17:50
ShiftyPowersyeah it's weird man17:50
tgm4883_laptopdid you reboot and all?17:50
ShiftyPowersi don't know how to get the script in there now17:50
ShiftyPowersi did17:50
ShiftyPowersbut there is no script in the init.d17:50
ShiftyPowerswell wtf...i'm stumped17:54
friggityfrogwhenever I do a manual record, it only shows up in my recorded shows if I change it to "live tv" profile. Why doesn't it show up when I record it in default?20:39
wilberfanLOVE my mythbuntu!  kudos to everyone involved!21:19
MythbuntuGuest79hi21:37
MythbuntuGuest79anybody here? i could use some help21:37
lagajust ask a question :)21:39
rorycan someone tell me how to change the verbose logging levels of xorg so that i can figure out why my tv is not getting set to the correct resolution22:37
hadsstartx -- -logverbose 622:45
roryhads: my problem is if i kill x, it just restarts... how do i stop it so that i can start it manually with those flags22:48
roryhads: or better yet, is there some type of init script for xfce or xorg that i can change so that it always logs at a higher leve22:49
roryhello?22:59
hadsDepending on what mythbuntu uses (I'm not sure as my setup is custom) then you should be able to stop it with `sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop`23:02
hadsYou can quite possibly adjust the logging level in there too.23:04
SolarbabyHello Rory23:26
roryok, got the logging working23:40
roryanyone have any luck getting a plasma or lcd tv to work using the right modelines23:41
