[00:01] light: maybe try mythfrontend -v playback [00:08] anybody running mythbuntu + ltsp on top of that? [00:15] lightdarkness, sounds like dpms/screensaver issue [00:15] do you have a mouse hooked up? [00:15] Yes [00:16] I don't know if I've tried moving it... how do I access the settings for the screensaver? [00:16] well test moving it first. You can access the screensaver settings from the main menu (not in the frontend [00:17] You could also try running `DISPLAY=:0 xset dpms force on` via ssh [00:19] but wouldn't hitting a key on the keyboard exit out of the screensaver? [00:21] lightdarkness, 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 tv [00:22] Well... 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 me [00:29] ok this ASX stream in Mythweb is the coolest thing ever [00:29] my congrats go to anyone who deserves them ;)( [00:43] Well I converted to using packages, it was painless. [01:39] What does the ivtv tweak in MCC do? [02:05] hads look at the tooltip [02:15] foxbuntu: Aha thanks, silly me didn't see that :) [02:45] Well, no X from the 8.04 desktop CD. Downloading the alternate now. X worked on the 7.10 desktop CD, however. [02:47] Anyone else experienced this regression? [02:49] When X tries to load, the TV goes blank, and then colored stripes are displayed. [03:51] trying 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 [10:03] hey just tried to upgrade a festy machine and the upgrade keeps failing yet i upgraded an identical machine just a day ago [10:04] says .... packages.bz2 hash mismatch [11:59] Hi all [11:59] how much space is required to install mythbuntu? [11:59] i plan to have the recordings stored in an external mount point [12:02] "depends", I'd allow 20GB if it were me [12:24] what for? [12:25] Base install, package cache, nfsroot for diskless clients, scratch space for encoding, etc. [12:28] i want to install to a usb pen drive [12:29] and then have hard drives mounted to /storage/drive-1,2,3... [12:29] so that my hard disks can go to sleep if they are not being used [13:46] hi everyone. [13:46] does anyone know what i could do here ? i am trying to install libocamlnet-ssl-ocaml-dev [13:46] doing apt-get install libocamlnet-ssl-ocaml-dev [13:46] then it say that it cant install because the lacking libssl-ocaml-dev [13:46] so i go [13:47] apt-get install libocamlnet-ssl-ocaml-dev libssl-ocaml-dev [13:47] libssl-ocaml-dev: depends: libssl-dev (>= 0.9.6) but isnt going to be installed [13:47] E: broken packages [13:48] any idea ? [14:46] can someone with a vanilla sources.list for mythbuntu please put it on a pastebin for me? [14:55] hehe [14:55] i could ! [14:55] but i guess its not vanilly anymore [15:01] !status === Tuv0k is now known as darthanubis [15:29] hi, ive installed mythbuntu 8.04 and im trying to install saa7134-alsa (a sound driver or something) and i cant get it to work [15:33] oh wait, it works [15:35] how can i improve the tv + sound quality? i'm also hearing noise sometimes [16:33] Hi, 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 8.04 [16:48] Thank goodness for alternate CDs and backups of old xorg.conf from 7.10, or I'd have no working X. [17:21] trying 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" [17:48] How 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. [17:51] Also, on the MCC "MythTV Configuration" tab, all of the MySQL Server Information section is grayed out. [17:53] Also, I recall setting the password during install, so I'm surprised to be getting this error at all. [17:57] Broken alternate install CD, I guess. Perhaps I'll re-install 7.10 (with *working* X), and upgrade, unless there are any ideas. [18:14] checked my.sql? [18:15] sorry mysql.txt [18:16] And 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] sebrock: yes [18:16] I've noticed that mythbuntu 8.04 is extremely buggy as well. I may revert to 7.10. [18:17] tritium, mmm though I will miss dkms support [18:18] you have B/F on the same machine? [18:18] I also see mythweb doesn't work. [18:18] yes, I do [18:18] and the DB doesnt work after install then? [18:18] No, it does not. [18:18] can you manually connect to the db with admin? [18:18] How would I do that? [18:19] open console [18:19] yes [18:19] then mysql-admin or something like that [18:19] wait I'll check [18:19] yes, mysqladmin [18:20] then login as user mythtv [18:20] -u mythtv -p [18:20] and you will be asked the passwd [18:21] wow, it does not ask [18:21] if you are able to login then it at least is accessable [18:21] It does nothing [18:21] ok wait [18:22] sorry never mind mysqladmin [18:22] right, I used taht [18:22] mysql -u mythtv -p [18:22] that* [18:23] That fails as well. [18:23] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [18:24] so somethings wrong with that passwd [18:24] I'm using the one that I setup during install. [18:24] u really really sure you are using the right one? [18:24] Quite. [18:25] what says cat ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt [18:25] DBPassword=, followed by the password I'm using [18:26] ok [18:26] same password is at the bottom of /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [18:27] have you got the root access to mythtv [18:28] sebrock: what do you mean? [18:29] mysql -u root -p [18:30] yes [18:30] otherwise try to google "recover lost mysql mythtv" and so on [18:30] alright, then change the mythtv user password if you are logged in as root [18:30] Amazing you can lose something you never had. [18:31] I'm unfamiliar with mysql. I'll have to do some reading. [18:32] In the past, I've not had to delve in to mysql to use mythtv. [18:33] well, its strange that it doesnt work if you set the password [18:33] anyway, just read up on how to change the password for user mythtv [18:33] probably something like passwd mythtv [18:34] Thanks, I'll give that a try. I appreciate your help. [18:34] np [18:34] good luck [18:34] thanks [18:40] sebrock: even "mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mythtv') WHERE user='mythtv'; [18:40] " results in ERROR 1046 (3D000): No databse selected [18:41] I'm going to attempt a reinstall, and if it still fails, revert back to 7.10 [18:41] sebrock: thanks again for your help [18:43] sebrock: re your flushing issues: are you running the latest kernel? [19:09] laga yes [19:10] happens on both the shipping kernel and the latest [19:14] any godsent clues? [19:45] laga? [19:45] superm1 ? [19:52] huh [20:00] yes laga, you asked about me running the latest kernel, thus giving me the impression you've heard about this before? [20:00] !status [20:00] I am alive. Logging is off. [20:01] !status [20:01] I am alive. Logging is off. [20:02] sebrock: no, i was just guessing. there have been some interactiveness problems with older kernels [20:03] laga, ok well 7.10 worked fine [20:09] !rhpot1991 [20:09] !foxbuntu [20:09] :( [20:16] cool, Wine 1.0 was released [20:27] trying 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" any iders? [20:29] no. :) [20:29] that's odd [20:29] !help [20:29] help - commands: !logging, !learn, !delete, !#topic#, !status [20:30] I installed mythbuntu 8.04, and my hard drive rattles constantly. It worked quite and nice under gentoo [20:31] slundell: i think sebrock has that problem, too. [20:31] Ok, did he solve it? [20:31] i dont think so. [20:33] MythbuntuGuest47: let's see about that message [20:35] MythbuntuGuest47: what does "grep tftp /etc/inetd.conf" return? [20:36] sebrock_, you there? [20:38] MythbuntuGuest47: what does "grep nobody /etc/group" return? [20:41] MythbuntuGuest47: you're probably affected by http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245017 but if you're not responding i can't help ya ;) [20:42] slundell, yess [20:42] please tell me you got the magic solution :D [20:42] Well... it worked well under gentoo :-) [20:43] tell me :D [20:43] I have no idea... [20:43] What have you tried= [20:43] ? [20:43] ah you ran gentoo [20:44] Do you use LVM? [20:44] well I have tried noatime when mounting [20:45] its similar to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=369759 [20:45] what file systems are you running? [20:45] does it happen when the backend isnt running? [20:46] ext3 [20:46] yes all the time [20:46] hum [20:46] maybe check things out with hdparm? [20:46] its not heavy writing just a constant flicker approx 1-2/sec [20:46] wonder if maybe its a chipset issue or something [20:46] I tried some yesterday but it didnt help [20:47] hm... well I did update the BIOS actually [20:47] but this is clearly kjournald and pdflush [20:49] dont know how chipset will get affected y that [20:49] also no problems using 7.10 [20:50] Just switched SATA ports... no difference... Have you tried to boot the disk on another computer? [20:51] laga sorry for the delay, "grep nobody /etc/group" returns nothing [20:51] same here. ;) [20:54] MythbuntuGuest47: what's in /etc/inetd.conf for tftp? [20:55] 9571 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/ldminfod [20:56] 9572 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdswapd [20:56] 2000 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdrootd /opt/ltsp/images/i386.img [20:56] are the 3 entries [20:56] how are you running the tftp server? did you do any manual setup? [20:58] I tried not to, it was a conversion from running minimyth then did the install of 8.10 with the diskless options [20:58] 8.10? [20:58] sorry 8.04 [20:58] heh, good [20:59] MythbuntuGuest47: is tftpd-hpa installed? use apt-cache policy tftpd-hpa to find out [21:01] Installed: 0.48-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.48-1ubuntu1 *** 0.48-1ubuntu1 0 [21:01] yeah, that looks good. [21:01] sebrock_, do you use LVM? [21:02] no [21:02] sorry, that question was no for me [21:02] MythbuntuGuest47: does "echo "get tftpd-hpa/use_inetd" | debconf-communicate" return true or false? (ignore the error message) [21:03] slundell, I dont think so, unless it is default [21:03] its semi-default... You can select guided partitioning with lvm during setup [21:04] ok no I dont use it, its a basic mythbuntu setup [21:04] 0 true is returned [21:05] MythbuntuGuest47: that's interesting. so, if you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tftpd-hpa", it should add the missing tftpd entry in /etc/inetd.conf [21:07] sebrock_, When you upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 did you do a complete reinstall or a dist-upgrade? [21:08] slundell, its from scratch [21:08] CD install [21:11] I should answer "yes? tftpd-hpa can be started by the inetd superserver ? [21:12] yes [21:13] ok, there are the same 3 entries in the /etc/inetd.conf file [21:13] and there is no entry for tftp?! [21:14] no [21:14] that's scary. [21:18] something is broken on your box :) [21:18] that doesnt sound good [21:19] MythbuntuGuest47: you can just add this line manually to /etc/inetd.conf [21:19] http://pastebin.com/m7ab18c48 [21:19] then sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart [21:22] that is done [21:22] now stuff should work.. [21:23] i still get cannot set groups for user nobody [21:23] what do you have in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa ? [21:24] RUN_DAEMON="no" OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot" [21:26] Hi all... wonder if anyone can help... i have an LCDProc issue [21:26] okay [21:27] MythbuntuGuest47: do you have any clue why the tftpd is actually started? i mean, it shouldnt be started if it's not in inetd.conf [21:29] I have no idea [21:29] myth-tv:~$ ps -ef |grep tftp nobody 6591 5800 0 15:22 ? 00:00:00 in.tftpd /tftpboot [21:30] udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:* [21:32] god what will I do with this HD thing, my disc will be dead by the end of this year...
