a1fa_anybody running mythbuntu + ltsp on top of that?00:08
tgm4883_laptoplightdarkness, sounds like dpms/screensaver issue00:15
tgm4883_laptopdo you have a mouse hooked up?00:15
lightdarknessYes00:15
lightdarknessI don't know if I've tried moving it... how do I access the settings for the screensaver?00:16
tgm4883_laptopwell test moving it first.  You can access the screensaver settings from the main menu (not in the frontend00:16
hadsYou could also try running `DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force on` via ssh00:17
lightdarknessbut wouldn't hitting a key on the keyboard exit out of the screensaver?00:19
tgm4883_laptoplightdarkness, if you want to verify, bust open the xfce control panel, set the screensaver to 1 minute, then see if it blanks in 1 minute during tv00:21
lightdarknessWell... I just checked and there was a screensaver after 10 minutes... which has activated int he paste while not watching tv... I disabled that... and I ran the command you gave me00:22
Solarbabyok this ASX stream in Mythweb is the coolest thing ever00:29

tritiumWell, no X from the 8.04 desktop CD.  Downloading the alternate now.  X worked on the 7.10 desktop CD, however.02:45
tritiumAnyone else experienced this regression?02:47
tritiumWhen X tries to load, the TV goes blank, and then colored stripes are displayed.02:49

HaffeHi, I could really need som help. I want to bind the input from my Nova-T 500 ir-reciever to /dev/input/dvb-ir. I have the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules KERNEL=="input*", ATTRS{name}=="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver", SYMLINK+="input/dvb-ir" I have rebooted, and still there is no device node for /dev/input/dvb-ir I', running ubuntu 8.0416:33
tritiumThank goodness for alternate CDs and backups of old xorg.conf from 7.10, or I'd have no working X.16:48
MythbuntuGuest47trying to set up diskless front end and it will not boot.  get a tftp timeout displayed and the following in the log, "Jun 16 21:44:57 myth-tv in.tftpd[31333]: cannot set groups for user nobody"17:21
tritiumHow to fix error message "Cannot login to database?" when running mythtv-setup?  I've already "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common", and set the desired mysql password.17:48
tritiumAlso, on the MCC "MythTV Configuration" tab, all of the MySQL Server Information section is grayed out.17:51
tritiumAlso, I recall setting the password during install, so I'm surprised to be getting this error at all.17:53
tritiumBroken alternate install CD, I guess.  Perhaps I'll re-install 7.10 (with *working* X), and upgrade, unless there are any ideas.17:57
sebrockchecked my.sql?18:14
sebrocksorry mysql.txt18:15
sebrockAnd where do you download 7.10, I think 8.04 has to many bugs and stuff that doesnt work at all... for once kjournald and pdflush keeps writing to my disk like every second.18:16
tritiumsebrock: yes18:16
tritiumI've noticed that mythbuntu 8.04 is extremely buggy as well.  I may revert to 7.10.18:16
sebrocktritium, mmm though I will miss dkms support18:17
sebrockyou have B/F on the same machine?18:18
tritiumI also see mythweb doesn't work.18:18
tritiumyes, I do18:18
sebrockand the DB doesnt work after install then?18:18
tritiumNo, it does not.18:18
sebrockcan you manually connect to the db with admin?18:18
tritiumHow would I do that?18:18
sebrockopen console18:19
tritiumyes18:19
sebrockthen mysql-admin or something like that18:19
sebrockwait I'll check18:19
tritiumyes, mysqladmin18:19
sebrockthen login as user mythtv18:20
sebrock-u mythtv -p18:20
sebrockand you will be asked the passwd18:20
tritiumwow, it does not ask18:21
sebrockif you are able to login then it at least is accessable18:21
tritiumIt does nothing18:21
sebrockok wait18:21
sebrocksorry never mind mysqladmin18:22
tritiumright, I used taht18:22
sebrockmysql -u mythtv -p18:22
tritiumthat*18:22
tritiumThat fails as well.18:23
tritiumERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)18:23
sebrockso somethings wrong with that passwd18:24
tritiumI'm using the one that I setup during install.18:24
sebrocku really really sure you are using the right one?18:24
tritiumQuite.18:24
sebrockwhat says cat ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt18:25
tritiumDBPassword=, followed by the password I'm using18:25
sebrockok18:26
tritiumsame password is at the bottom of /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt18:26
sebrockhave you got the root access to mythtv18:27
tritiumsebrock: what do you mean?18:28
sebrockmysql -u root -p18:29
tritiumyes18:30
sebrockotherwise try to google "recover lost mysql mythtv" and so on18:30
sebrockalright, then change the mythtv user password if you are logged in as root18:30
tritiumAmazing you can lose something you never had.18:30
tritiumI'm unfamiliar with mysql.  I'll have to do some reading.18:31
tritiumIn the past, I've not had to delve in to mysql to use mythtv.18:32
sebrockwell, its strange that it doesnt work if you set the password18:33
sebrockanyway, just read up on how to change the password for user mythtv18:33
sebrockprobably something like passwd mythtv18:33
tritiumThanks, I'll give that a try.  I appreciate your help.18:34
sebrocknp18:34
sebrockgood luck18:34
tritiumthanks18:34
tritiumsebrock: even "mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mythtv') WHERE user='mythtv';18:40
tritium" results in ERROR 1046 (3D000): No databse selected18:40
tritiumI'm going to attempt a reinstall, and if it still fails, revert back to 7.1018:41
tritiumsebrock: thanks again for your help18:41

slundellWell... it worked well under gentoo :-)20:42
sebrock_tell me :D20:43
slundellI have no idea...20:43
slundellWhat have you tried=20:43
slundell?20:43
sebrock_ah you ran gentoo20:43
slundellDo you use LVM?20:44
sebrock_well I have tried noatime when mounting20:44

lagadoes it happen when the backend isnt running?20:45
sebrock_ext320:46
sebrock_yes all the time20:46
lagahum20:46
jphillipmaybe check things out with hdparm?20:46
sebrock_its not heavy writing just a constant flicker approx 1-2/sec20:46
jphillipwonder if maybe its a chipset issue or something20:46
sebrock_I tried some yesterday but it didnt help20:46
sebrock_hm... well I did update the BIOS actually20:47
sebrock_but this is clearly kjournald and pdflush20:47
sebrock_dont know how chipset will get affected y that20:49
sebrock_also no problems using 7.1020:49
slundellJust switched SATA ports... no difference... Have you tried to boot the disk on another computer?20:50
MythbuntuGuest47laga sorry for the delay, "grep nobody /etc/group"  returns nothing20:51

MythbuntuGuest47sorry 8.0420:58
lagaheh, good20:58
lagaMythbuntuGuest47: is tftpd-hpa installed? use apt-cache policy tftpd-hpa to find out20:59

lagayeah, that looks good.21:01
slundellsebrock_, do you use LVM?21:01
MythbuntuGuest47no21:02
MythbuntuGuest47sorry, that question was no for me21:02
lagaMythbuntuGuest47: does "echo "get tftpd-hpa/use_inetd" | debconf-communicate" return true or false? (ignore the error message)21:02
sebrock_slundell, I dont think so, unless it is default21:03
slundellits semi-default... You can select guided partitioning with lvm during setup21:03
sebrock_ok no I dont use it, its a basic mythbuntu setup21:04
MythbuntuGuest470 true is returned21:04
lagaMythbuntuGuest47: that's interesting. so, if you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tftpd-hpa", it should add the missing tftpd entry in /etc/inetd.conf21:05
slundellsebrock_, When you upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 did you do a complete reinstall or a dist-upgrade?21:07
sebrock_slundell, its from scratch21:08
sebrock_CD install21:08
MythbuntuGuest47I should answer "yes?  tftpd-hpa can be started by the inetd superserver ?21:11
lagayes21:12
