[00:00] <Solarbaby> I used a Plextor ConvertX 402U for a while.. it wasn't bad
[00:00] <Solarbaby> thats usb
[00:01] <Solarbaby> not that its really an issue these days, just make sure your plugged into a usb 2.0 port
[00:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> if you just want OTA for now, I'd check out the HDHR
[00:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> works well, gets you OTA HD and clear QAM
[00:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> support is there out of the box
[00:02] <pdxguy> what is QAM?
[00:02] <rhpot1991_laptop> digital broadcast
[00:02] <Solarbaby> I need to look into that one myself
[00:03] <rhpot1991_laptop> most stuff is encrypted through cable companies, so you don't get a lot but you get some
[00:03] <rhpot1991_laptop> and your local's in HD
[00:03] <Solarbaby> oh its over the air.. I have satalite..  not a winning combination eh?
[00:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> not really
[00:05] <rhpot1991_laptop> Solarbaby: your best bet is to keep an eye on the HDPRV 1212 from hauppauge, there are beta drivers out
[00:05] <Solarbaby> will do..   Im still living with 1 single tuner card..  Hauppauge PVR 350..  I love the card..  but I've got HD in the next room and its just sitting there
[00:08] <pdxguy> When checking things out should I be looking for chipsets or API supported or what exactly? I'm not confident the sales people will know what will work or not. Or should I just buy online?
[00:09] <MythbuntuGuest58> hello... I have been working on this MythTV box for days, and I'm stuck
[00:09] <MythbuntuGuest58> when I click watch tv, the screen blinks and it goes back to the main menue
[00:14] <pdxguy> Anyone now how well (or if at all) the HVR-950Q works?
[00:28] <pcglue> SolarBaby, do you use the Composite In on your pvr350?
[00:43] <Solarbaby> pcglue: I use the svideo input..
[00:45] <pcglue> solarbaby, what version of ubuntu are you running and what kernel version?  I have trouble with composite in on hardy.  I had to change to use the RF input.
[00:46] <Solarbaby> pcglue: im using Mythbuntu 8.04
[00:46] <Solarbaby> and I've got to say everything worked right out of the box
[00:47] <pcglue> solarbaby, are you also using the audio line in on the pvr350?
[00:47] <Solarbaby> Yes
[00:47] <pcglue> hmm, ok.  thanks.
[00:47] <Solarbaby> perhaps its your settings in Myth config that are the problems
[00:48] <pcglue> actually, video for composite in works.  I just don't get the audio from the audio line in.
[00:48] <Solarbaby> I dont remember having a problem with that.. but you might try alsamixer
[00:49] <Solarbaby> just type that in from a shell and it loads up a gui that lets you config your sound
[00:49] <pcglue> ok, i'll give that a try.  thanks.
[00:49] <Solarbaby> good luck
[05:33] <Nostahl> hi all
[05:33] <Nostahl> i just installed mythbuntu for first time earlyer
[05:33] <Nostahl> just went to restart
[05:33] <Nostahl> and it appears poof
[05:33] <Nostahl> lol
[05:34] <Nostahl> i've already done several restarts thoughout the day
[05:34] <Nostahl> but this time it wont boot back up
[06:39] <Nostahl> hrmm
[06:40] <Nostahl> hey everyone i cant get past loading hardware drivers???
[09:40] <kernel_ghost> does anyone know how i can configure a button on my remote to launch mythtv if I am not running the frontend
[09:41] <kernel_ghost> like can i configure lirc events for xfce
[09:41] <laga> you can use irexec
[09:42] <kernel_ghost> laga, sorry could you please elaborate, or point me at a config file etc
[09:42] <kernel_ghost> i see the irexec app
[09:43] <laga> you need to edit ~/.lircrc and include a new config file - in that config file, you can add the irexec stanza
[09:43] <laga> i'd assume irexec has a man page
[09:43] <kernel_ghost> laga yes reading it
[14:09] <thefish> is there a new location for http://bit.blkbk.com/mythtv-xbox.0.4.5-beta.tar.gz ?
[15:31] <Nostahl> heyey guys
[15:31] <Nostahl> how's everyone thismorning
[16:51] <Ace2016> quick question
[16:51] <Ace2016> why is the desktop gnome?
[16:52] <Ace2016> mythtv is a qt application so should it not be kde?
[16:53] <tgm4883> Ace2016, um, it's not
[16:53] <tgm4883> it's xfce
[16:53] <Ace2016> oh
[16:54] <Ace2016> it looked like gnome and had the same lack of everything in kde
[16:54] <Ace2016> lack of everything i'm used to
[17:00] <Nostahl> hey guys im getting squashfs error : sb_bread failed reading block 0xfb26
[17:00] <Nostahl> tryin to boot the mythbuntu live cd
[17:01] <Nostahl> i've tryed burning couple other cd's
[17:01] <Ace2016> you have to burn it again, and run the disk check before installing
[17:01] <Nostahl> the last one i even tryed at 4x speed
[17:01] <Ace2016> i know this happened to me too
[17:01] <Nostahl> the disks come up clean with diskchecker
[17:02] <Ace2016> i had to burn 4 disks before the 5th one finally installed
[17:02] <Ace2016> hey mine also came up ok on the disk checker
[17:02] <Nostahl> i was able to boot into it once
[17:02] <Ace2016> maybe you have to try installing over and over again? possible that settings could be having an effect
[17:03] <Nostahl> the md5sum's come up clean too
[17:03] <Nostahl> ... just checked this disk 19 errors heh
[17:03] <Nostahl> thats new
[17:05] <Nostahl> wow so far 2 of my disks came up with 18 and 19 errors
[17:05] <Nostahl> wonder if the optical drive isnt good
[17:07] <Nostahl> ima download a new copy to burn
[17:07] <Nostahl> just incase
[17:26] <anon4455> hello?
[17:40] <Nostahl> k got a clean burn it seems
[17:40] <Nostahl> its havin troubles booting up
[17:40] <Nostahl> wonder if i have some bad hardware
[18:00] <Nostahl> any of you guys experience the black and white s-video out
[18:00] <Nostahl> or has mythbuntu fixed that?
[18:16] <Nostahl> what is the installed size of mythbuntu
[19:31] <Nostahl> anyone running mini-itx boxes?
[20:19] <tgm4883> bah
[20:20] <a1fa> anybody else having Streamzap remote control issues?
[20:20] <a1fa> It works fine in the menu, but it LAGS so bad during video playback
[20:20] <a1fa> i cant even navigate through the guide if the video is playing
[20:22] <Nostahl> hey guys
[20:22] <Nostahl> im havin troubles installing mythbuntu
[20:23] <Nostahl> its stuck at 93 percent configuring hardware
[20:23] <Nostahl> for like half hour
[20:57] <jphillip> a1fa does it act the same using a keyboard during playback?
[20:57] <jphillip> could be the OSD fades, or just an underpowered system or playback profile settings too high
[21:00] <wil_> Hi, I want to use acpi wakeup. And I know that I have to translate from time_t to a normal date, but I don't know how.... Does anyone have a pointer on how to do that?
[21:17] <laga> isn't there a script in the mythtv wiki
[21:22] <wil_> @laga I can't seem to find it...
[21:22] <wil_> well, go to go for now... Will find it out somehow or else just write my own python script
[21:22] <wil_> but thanks anyway
[21:23] <laga> "man date" ;)
[21:39] <Nostahl> lol my installation has been copying installation logs for like 40 minutes
[21:39] <Nostahl> why is it taking so long
[22:18] <Nostahl> hi all i just got an error botting up mythbuntu   it says Server Authorization director (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/lib/gdm but is not owned by user 108 and group 115. Please correct the ownership or GDM configuration and restart GDM
[22:18] <Nostahl> how do i fix that
[22:21] <laga> Nostahl: did the installation finish?
[22:21] <Nostahl> aye
[22:21] <laga> even the "copying installation logs" step?
[22:21] <Nostahl> aye
[22:22] <laga> odd
[22:22] <Nostahl> it took hours
[22:22] <laga> well, maybe google can turn up some hints
[22:22] <laga> but your installation probably is corrupt  somehow
[22:22] <laga> you can fix broken permissions/ownership using chmod/chown
[22:23] <Nostahl> can you see if we can get that fixed see if thats all thats corrupt or something
[22:24] <Nostahl> yeah its bad install
[22:24] <Nostahl> saying cannot create temp file for here document : read only file system
[23:25] <Avenged-Revenge> manual recordings don't show up in recorded shows unless I do the "live tv" profile. Why doesn't default show up?
[23:42] <Nostahl> heyey all i just finnished getting a great install of mythbuntu done
[23:42] <Nostahl> and i got it all downstairs at the entertainment system and hooked up
[23:43] <Nostahl> going svideo to tv
[23:43] <Nostahl> boot splash showed nicely
[23:43] <Nostahl> even bios showed through svideo i was suprized
[23:43] <Nostahl> now im in the OS the tv display shut off lol
[23:43] <Nostahl> how do i enable it
