| frozenskunk | Hello all! Can someone help me out getting my CommandIR working with mythbuntu 8.04? I had it working fine with 7.10 and when I upgraded it (among other things) stopped working. I have tried just about everything that I have found online, and think that I may have a problem with my hardware.conf file, but don't know for sure. It seems like it has been ridiculously difficult when the command IR site says it should 'just work', s | 03:17 |
| killerbeesateme | would anyone be able to help me troubleshoot a connection to a remote mysql server issue? I've already verified permissions, checked my configs, and i get a success in the mythbuntu config app | 03:28 |
| frozenskunk | I don't know if I can help, but I had an issue like that once. did you make sure to change the config ip from 127.0.0.1 to whatever your actual ip is? | 03:29 |
| killerbeesateme | yea, i've got the bind address on the server set to the external IP, and in the program itself it's registering the correct remote server IP | 03:30 |
| killerbeesateme | permissions are set to allow the mythtv user connection from the host, and I manually checked the mysql.txt file in ~/mythtv/ | 03:30 |
| frozenskunk | did you set the ip in the myth config also, not just the mysql? | 03:31 |
| frozenskunk | That was where I went wrong | 03:31 |
| killerbeesateme | yea, the frontend config is looking good | 03:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Hipsto1, ping | 03:31 |
| frozenskunk | Well, that's the extent of my knowledge on that one... Sorry. | 03:31 |
| frozenskunk | Don't suppose you know about getting a CommandIR to work with 8.04? | 03:32 |
| killerbeesateme | i don't actually. my LIRC skills aren't going so well either. i've can't seem to get my Hauppauge PVR150 blaster working on my Dish Network box either | 03:33 |
| ShiftyPowers | anyone know how why i have an extra encoder when i go to mythweb? | 03:33 |
| ShiftyPowers | i have 3 encoders but only 2 capture cards in my system | 03:33 |
| Egghead2 | problem playing music from mythweb when i password secure it, plays mp3s fine without password, any ideas on what to try? | 03:33 |
| Egghead2 | killerbeesateme, is your blaster led blinking? if so then its just probably the remote code | 03:35 |
| Nostahl | hrmm my am i not getting sound playing a video but i did when i was in dvd:rip ? | 03:36 |
| killerbeesateme | i can get it to blink via the command line, but past that i'm not getting anything during actual use | 03:36 |
| frozenskunk | I had it working just fine for a long time under 7.10, but the 8.04 upgrade killed it, and I can't figure it out for the life of me. | 03:37 |
| Egghead2 | kellerbeez8u, hmmm it doest change chnls when whatching tv, but will chnge chnls via irsend? | 03:37 |
| Egghead2 | doesnt | 03:38 |
| killerbeesateme | I haven't played with it for a week, but if i remember correctly it didn't change the channels, but it did actually blink while using the command line | 03:38 |
| killerbeesateme | using irsend | 03:38 |
| Egghead2 | ahh then probably remote code, i might have corrct code, what ird do u have? | 03:39 |
| killerbeesateme | ird? | 03:40 |
| Egghead2 | receiver | 03:40 |
| Egghead2 | ie 2700, 2800, 3800 | 03:40 |
| Nostahl | anyone available to help me get sound up | 03:40 |
| killerbeesateme | 301 i believe | 03:40 |
| killerbeesateme | sorry i'm not in front of it right now | 03:40 |
| Egghead2 | ahhh no problem | 03:41 |
| Egghead2 | i had a hella time finding right code to work with my dishnet 2800 and the haupauge pvr150 | 03:41 |
| frozenskunk | Egghead2: Can you give me a hand figuring my commandIR out when you get done with helping killerbeesatme? | 03:42 |
| Egghead2 | oh well i dont think 2800 is same as 301 | 03:42 |
| frozenskunk | killerbeesateme: Did you try the config ulitity from CommandIR? That worked fomr setting up my hauppage with my dish receivers. http://lircconfig.commandir.com/ | 03:43 |
| frozenskunk | Under 7.10 anyway... | 03:43 |
| Egghead2 | killer, i finally gave up on the pvr150 blaster and solder to gether a simple serial blaster, worked like a charm, if you can solder and have an old remote control for the led, i recomend going that direction | 03:44 |
| Egghead2 | imho | 03:44 |
| Egghead2 | :) | 03:44 |
| Egghead2 | frozen, sure | 03:44 |
| Egghead2 | if i can, kinda a newb myself :) | 03:44 |
| frozenskunk | Thanks, I had everything working just fine with 7.10, the upgrade to 8.04 killed my remote commands, I have reinstalled 8.04 from scratch to make sure I didn't have any files that just didn't get upgraded correctly. According to the commandIR website, 8.04 shold pretty much 'just work', so I think I'm missing something | 03:46 |
| killerbeesateme | Egghead, thanks for the idea. | 03:46 |
| Egghead2 | kilerr, no problem, had alot of issues with pvr blaster, been there myself | 03:47 |
| Egghead2 | frozen, what remote and lirc setup | 03:47 |
| killerbeesateme | i'm ready to freak out at this frontend though. i can do a command line client and connect to the stupid database, i can see the ports are open to the database, mythbuntu config says Success to the database, and mythfrontend has just decided it doesn't want to be my buddy | 03:47 |
| frozenskunk | I have tried all sorts of stuff, I can see input with mode2, but can't get irw going to check it, or see lircd running, I may have a problem with hardware.conf, but I'm not sure of anything | 03:48 |
| frozenskunk | I'm using a hauppage remote that came with my -350, It's the grey 'dog-bone' A-something part number | 03:49 |
| Egghead2 | frozen have u tried purging the lirc? and install again? | 03:49 |
| frozenskunk | no, just do sudo apt-get purge lirc? | 03:50 |
| Egghead2 | u said irw doesnt work right? | 03:50 |
| Egghead2 | yes | 03:50 |
| frozenskunk | yeah, can't get irw going, everything I see online tells me to check /proc/bus/input/devices to get the remote number, but I don't see anything there | 03:51 |
| Egghead2 | killer, when front end starts up it barks about not being able to connect to be? | 03:51 |
| Egghead2 | frozen, is /dev/lirc0 there? | 03:52 |
| frozenskunk | and in hardware.conf my REMOTE DRIVER="' | 03:52 |
| frozenskunk | no, for some strange reason I don't have a /dev/lirc0, I have a /dev/lirc1, which is what I have to use for mode2 to show me the raw data | 03:52 |
| Egghead2 | frozen, apt-get purge lirc, then delete /etc/lirc or anythting in it | 03:52 |
| Egghead2 | hmmm, not sure maybe your is on lirc1 | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | oh, and when I try to start the lircd it fails. | 03:53 |
| Egghead2 | i think u can try irw /dev/lirc1 | 03:53 |
| Egghead2 | u did a /etc/init.d/lirc and it pukes? | 03:54 |
| frozenskunk | Yeah, I tried that with irw, I have just lived with the lirc1 and forced that as an option when needed | 03:54 |
| Egghead2 | u did a /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 03:54 |
| frozenskunk | didn't restart, let me try that | 03:54 |
| Egghead2 | yea it sounds hoosed, purge and reinstall | 03:54 |
| killerbeesateme | Egghead, it doesn't bark until i try to enter any of the menu items | 03:55 |
| killerbeesateme | Egghead, i ran it from the command line and it's saying the backend server is listed as localhost...so now i'm on a config file hunt to find out where to set that...any idea? | 03:56 |
| Egghead2 | im no, but when u run mythsetup is the ip addys 127.0.0.0 or the 192.168.x.x? | 03:57 |
| frozenskunk | well, after the restart, irw seems to run, but don't see any input from the remote, let me play with this for a minute | 03:58 |
| Egghead2 | frozen | 03:58 |
| Egghead2 | im not sur eif its a problem, but the remote include files in lirc.conf didnt work so great for me... | 03:59 |
| Egghead2 | so if you have a copy of the old files used in 7.01 use then and rem out the include files | 03:59 |
| Egghead2 | or failing that, go to the include file, haupauge something or other and grab only the remote u need from that file and add that to the /etc/lirc/lirc.conf file | 04:00 |
| Egghead2 | ie pvr_350 i think its called | 04:01 |
| killerbeesateme | egghead, this may be a stupid question, but i'm trying to run only a frontend, do i need to install a backend? it doesn't give me a mythsetup option, and the only way to do that is to install the full mythtv package | 04:02 |
| frozenskunk | no, don't have the old ones, they were overwritten by the 8.04 upgrade :-( I have new ones from the same place I got the old ones. | 04:02 |
| Egghead2 | killer, yes, either on same puter sa fe or on a remote computer | 04:02 |
| Egghead2 | but yes u do | 04:02 |
| frozenskunk | Doesn't seem like those are my problem yet, since I can't run irw. I think anywat. | 04:03 |
| Egghead2 | frozen, hang on a sec ill find the location | 04:03 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I I'm thinking that it's my hardware.conf file. I don't have a remote listed there it seems. | 04:05 |
| Egghead2 | look in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge, grab the entire remote haupauge 350 and then add it to /etc/lirc/lirc.conf, and comment out the include file | 04:07 |
| Egghead2 | then u have to run the lirc generator | 04:07 |
| frozenskunk | ok, comment out which include file? | 04:07 |
| Egghead2 | and u should be good to gooo | 04:07 |
| Egghead2 | at the top of /etc/lirc/lirc.conf u will see a line that starts with include | 04:08 |
| Egghead2 | put a # infront of it | 04:08 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I was in the wrong file (hardware.conf) | 04:09 |
| Egghead2 | kiler,u dont have a backend anywhere? | 04:09 |
| Egghead2 | frozen sounds like hardware is working, so its sounds like remote is config correctly | 04:10 |
| frozenskunk | yeah, thats what I thought since I could see the mode2 data... should that be lircd.conf instead of lirc.conf? | 04:11 |
| Egghead2 | no after u mod lirc.conf, well runn a script to generate the lircd.conf | 04:12 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I don't have a lirc.conf file | 04:12 |
| frozenskunk | there is an include statement in the lircd.conf file | 04:12 |
| Egghead2 | in /etc/lirc? | 04:12 |
| Egghead2 | oops sorry ur right | 04:13 |
| Egghead2 | lircd.conf | 04:13 |
| frozenskunk | yeah /etc/lirc has hardware.conf lircd.conf lircmd.conf harware.conf.old lircd.conf.dpkg-old in it | 04:13 |
| Egghead2 | frozen put a # infront of the include file(s) in lircd.conf | 04:14 |
| Egghead2 | then open http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22503/ and copy/paste into the lircd.conf file | 04:17 |
| Egghead2 | then run sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-lirc-generator as whatever user myth starts up as | 04:17 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I was trying to copy the file out of the /usr/share/ directory you sent, should I use the pastebin instead? | 04:19 |
| Egghead2 | yes | 04:20 |
| Egghead2 | i just made it alittle easier for ya :) | 04:20 |
| frozenskunk | i like easy! ;-) | 04:20 |
| Egghead2 | after u run lirc generator get out of mythfrontend and the restart the frontend | 04:22 |
| Egghead2 | and with any luck ur remote should work | 04:22 |
| frozenskunk | ok , the apt-get says I have the most current version of gneraotr | 04:24 |
| Egghead2 | oops just run it, my bad , mythbuntu-lirc-generator | 04:24 |
| frozenskunk | ok, did that, it told me I have a .lircrc file now, where shoudl I move it? or di I have to? | 04:25 |
| Egghead2 | ummm u should need to | 04:25 |
| Egghead2 | are u loged in as root? | 04:25 |
| frozenskunk | no, as my user | 04:25 |
| frozenskunk | didn't sudo the command | 04:26 |
| frozenskunk | the 'normal' user that is, the one that will be running everythign | 04:26 |
| Egghead2 | ok then just restart the front end and press some remote keys | 04:26 |
| Egghead2 | yea the user mythstars as? | 04:26 |
| frozenskunk | yes | 04:26 |
| Egghead2 | oops the user myth starts as | 04:26 |
| Egghead2 | exit out of the front end | 04:27 |
| Egghead2 | then restart the front end | 04:27 |
| Egghead2 | or run /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 04:27 |
| frozenskunk | wasn't in the frontend when I did that, but when I strated it, it still won't work :-( | 04:28 |
| frozenskunk | do I need to restart lirc? | 04:28 |
| Egghead2 | yea do | 04:29 |
| Egghead2 | or run /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 04:29 |
| Egghead2 | and then run irw in bash | 04:29 |
| Egghead2 | and see if u get anything | 04:30 |
| frozenskunk | restarted lirc, and ran irw, get nothing... | 04:31 |
| Egghead2 | any errors when restarting lirc? | 04:32 |
| frozenskunk | no, tells me it stopped, loaded, and started lirc daemon ok | 04:32 |
| frozenskunk | wait, just saw that it is looking at lirc 0, how do I start lirc to make it look at lirc1? | 04:33 |
| Egghead2 | try irw /dev/lirc1 | 04:33 |
| Egghead2 | frozen i dont know how to do that | 04:34 |
| Egghead2 | also i made a mistake, u should run mythbuntu-lircrc-generator to generate the files | 04:35 |
| frozenskunk | yeah, no luck with that either, when I do a ps aux | grep lirc, I see that /usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0, when it should be lirc1, any idea how to change that? | 04:39 |
| Egghead2 | im not sure u can | 04:41 |
| Egghead2 | y do u think it should be lirc1? | 04:41 |
| frozenskunk | hm.. that's no good. This is the most difficult 'just-works' install I have ever done... | 04:41 |
| Egghead2 | hmmm i donno | 04:42 |
| frozenskunk | going to have to give up for tonight (yet again)... Thanks for all your help!!! I now know another dozen things that won't make it work... | 04:42 |
| Egghead2 | lol | 04:42 |
| Egghead2 | oh well good luck | 04:42 |
| Egghead2 | try reinstalling | 04:42 |
| Egghead2 | purge then install | 04:43 |
| Egghead2 | it seems that the hardy motto | 04:43 |
| Egghead2 | nite | 04:43 |
| frozenskunk | will give that a try. I might just try wiping the disc again and going from scratch, maybe I missed something the first time through. I just can't see it being this hard when the documentation says to plug it in, click here, set this, watch tv... | 04:44 |
| frozenskunk | that must be the 'long term support' they were talking about ;-) | 04:44 |
| frozenskunk | Thanks again! | 04:44 |
| Egghead2 | np | 04:44 |
| Egghead2 | problem playing music from mythweb when i password secure it, plays mp3s fine without password, any ideas on what to try? | 04:45 |
| kirkland | superm1: i have not succesfully generated a usb thumbdrive for the diskless client... i was playing with that (unsuccessfully) last weekend | 04:55 |
| superm1 | laga is the one that has done most of the work on that | 04:56 |
| superm1 | so you should pester him tomorrow european time | 04:56 |
| superm1 | and tell him to fix $stuff :) | 04:56 |
| kirkland | superm1: ;-) i'll chat with him tomorrow about that, then | 04:58 |
| kirkland | superm1: i had to upgrade my root disks to 4GB flash, instead of 2GB flash | 04:59 |
| superm1 | just to make the diskless chroot i take it? | 04:59 |
| kirkland | superm1: oh, no, the machine i'd generate them on has multiple TB | 04:59 |
| superm1 | kirkland, ah | 05:00 |
| kirkland | superm1: i switched my frontends to amd64, which has larger footprints | 05:00 |
| superm1 | kirkland, by that much though? | 05:00 |
| superm1 | i dont think my frontend takes up more than 2gb | 05:00 |
| kirkland | superm1: and i figured with intrepid installing "recommends", the install base is going to get bigger | 05:00 |
| superm1 | yeah hopefully we'll trim that down | 05:00 |
| superm1 | well actually my frontend is a bad example, doing 'du' on it will be skewed because i run sbuild on it too now | 05:01 |
| superm1 | it used to be very pristine | 05:01 |
| Egghead2 | superm1, do u know if there is any issues with password protecting mythweb? | 05:05 |
| superm1 | there may be a bug with the scripts for doing it? | 05:07 |
| superm1 | but i wouldnt know it offhand | 05:07 |
| Egghead2 | k thanks | 05:09 |
| darthanubis | superm1, don't you maintain the myhttv totem plugin? | 05:15 |
| * superm1 hides | 05:15 | |
| superm1 | i packaged it for hardy | 05:15 |
| darthanubis | lol | 05:15 |
| superm1 | its waiting for some updates in intrepid though | 05:15 |
| darthanubis | it does not ....oh...work for me. Is it supposed to? | 05:16 |
| darthanubis | Or not until the update? | 05:16 |
| superm1 | it should be working | 05:17 |
| superm1 | it's kinda clunky to set up | 05:17 |
| darthanubis | it seems straight forward to setup | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | enaable the plugin | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | done right? | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | it loads mythttv contentt | 05:18 |
| superm1 | well you need to go into gconf-editor | 05:18 |
| superm1 | and turn on the right info there | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | but errors 3111 on the play | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | I did that already | 05:18 |
| darthanubis | its enabled | 05:19 |
| superm1 | oh so it lists the shows | 05:19 |
| superm1 | just doesnt play them for you | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | but it just does not paly | 05:19 |
| superm1 | did it ever and just stop? | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | right | 05:19 |
| superm1 | or never worked | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | never | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | I thought it was a cool feature | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | but never been able to see it worked | 05:19 |
| darthanubis | I have since wondered has anyone seen it work | 05:19 |
| superm1 | okay so do you currently have any remote frontends? | 05:20 |
| darthanubis | no | 05:20 |
| superm1 | okay then that might be your issue.... | 05:22 |
| superm1 | if you go into mythtv-setup | 05:22 |
| superm1 | make sure that yo uare listing your network adapter's IP in both boxes for general | 05:22 |
| darthanubis | will do, but it says not content in stream or somethign like that | 05:23 |
| superm1 | yeah, everything streams from the backend | 05:23 |
| superm1 | so if the backend isn't actually broadcasting on the right ip | 05:23 |
| darthanubis | let me check it | 05:23 |
| superm1 | (it defaults to 127.0.0.1) | 05:23 |
| darthanubis | pretty sure its set to the ip address of the backend and not localhost | 05:24 |
| darthanubis | ok so the address was wrong | 05:26 |
| darthanubis | it was set to the routers address | 05:26 |
| superm1 | :) | 05:27 |
| darthanubis | :) | 05:27 |
| darthanubis | now the moment of truth | 05:27 |
| darthanubis | Stream contains no data. | 05:31 |
| darthanubis | :( | 05:31 |
| darthanubis | I should restart the backend | 05:31 |
| darthanubis | but I thought mythtv-setupdpes that for me\ | 05:32 |
| superm1 | mythtv-setup should do it for you | 05:32 |
| superm1 | as long as you didn't launch via mythtv-setup.real directly | 05:33 |
| darthanubis | then I'm back to square 1 | 05:33 |
| superm1 | well have you started totem again since yo udid this | 05:34 |
| superm1 | or that same run | 05:34 |
| darthanubis | this is maddening | 05:41 |
| darthanubis | when things only reak for ne | 05:41 |
| superm1 | well it's gotta be something else silly likely | 05:45 |
| superm1 | i'd recommend setting up a remote frontend if you can, and ensuring you can get that to work first | 05:46 |
| darthanubis | I try to catch you | 05:46 |
| superm1 | it provides a significant more debug info amount | 05:46 |
| darthanubis | will do | 05:46 |
| superm1 | even doing it off a live cd | 05:46 |
| superm1 | if you dont want to install the remote frontend | 05:46 |
| superm1 | mythbuntu 8.04 can run frontend on live disk | 05:46 |
| darthanubis | gotta sleep, I have one | 05:46 |
| superm1 | okay | 05:46 |
| superm1 | night | 05:46 |
| darthanubis | just not active | 05:46 |
| darthanubis | night | 05:46 |
| Hipsto3 | help i keep getting a Segmentation fault when i run mythbuntu-control-centre | 06:56 |
| Hipsto3 | i left and yet here i am | 07:01 |
| Hipsto3 | tgm4883 ping | 07:02 |
| tgm4883 | Hipsto3, does reverting to .27 remedy the problem? | 07:19 |
| tgm4883 | i'm going to bed so if it fixes it, we need to know | 07:19 |
| Hipsto3 | havnt tried that yet | 07:19 |
| Hipsto3 | afraid to break dependency | 07:20 |
| tgm4883 | what dependency would you break? | 07:20 |
| Hipsto3 | dunno synaptic just gives a generic warning it may break dependency | 07:22 |
| tgm4883 | by forcing the old version? | 07:22 |
| Hipsto3 | yes | 07:23 |
| tgm4883 | well i'll manually install it tomarrow and see if I can reproduce the error, then see what happens when reverting | 07:24 |
| tgm4883 | i'm on the US west coast, so i'll probably do it around 9:00 my time. So in about 9.5 hours | 07:24 |
| Hipsto3 | "If you force a different version from the default one, errors in the dependancy handeling can occur." | 07:25 |
| tgm4883 | ah | 07:27 |
| tgm4883 | I myself wouldn't worry about that, but I like to break things so YMMV | 07:27 |
| Hipsto3 | am in phoenix so same timezone | 07:27 |
| Hipsto3 | eh I'll try and force it | 07:28 |
| tgm4883 | alright, well i'm going to bed, so report back soon | 07:29 |
| Hipsto3 | nope didnt work still get Segmentation fault | 07:32 |
| Hipsto3 | :-( | 07:34 |
| laga | kirkland: yeah, let me know about your problems with -diskless. | 08:25 |
| laga | kirkland: i'll be back in 4-5hours | 08:26 |

| Mammoth | Hi all, I have a Mythbuntu setup with diskless frontends. The server is placed in the cellar, and i would like to place my frontends in the attic. Is there a universal RemoteControl that can control both my MythTV frontends (via RF, Bluetooth, WIFI, ?) and my TV, Receiver, Xbox360 via IR? | 10:35 |
| tplague | ir dont think has enough range from celler to attick | 11:09 |
| tplague | not sure if there is a rf/ir remote | 11:09 |
| Mammoth | I only need to be able to control my frontends. Logitech Harmony 895 uses both IR and RF - but it has it's own extender. If I have more than 1 frontend, would it then be possible to differenciate the signal (not controlling all everytime i click the remote) ? | 11:16 |
| Mammoth | I would like to be able to power-on, control and power-off the frontends. | 11:20 |
| tplague | shoot you know more on the sibgect then i do ..lol i didnt even know they had dual RF/IR remote ...lol | 11:20 |
| Mammoth | :-) - i have really been looking for a remote that could meet my needs, but I haven't been able to find one :-(. here are my findings uptill now... | 11:23 |

| Mammoth | I think my best bet is going for the Harmony 890/895 with multiple extenders... Is this supported in Mythbuntu 8.10 ? | 11:40 |
| Mammoth | is it possible to power-on / power-off frontends via the extender ? | 11:42 |
| Mammoth | sorry 8.04 :-) | 11:44 |
| Mammoth | I have posted my question here if anyone knowns how to do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839270 | 14:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | hello | 19:14 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | I know my tuner cards work, because I can record TV from the command line using cat /dev/video0 > tmp/test.mpg* and watch it with mplayer. | 19:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | However, when I try to 'Watch TV' in the Mythbuntu frontend, it blanks for a second before returning to the main menu. | 19:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Let me know if you have an idea on what to do or what information you'd like. | 19:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Thanks for your time. | 19:19 |
| jphillip | MythbuntuGuest53 it would help if you told everyone what kind of tuner you have | 19:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Oh, I'm sorry. | 19:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | I'm using 2 Hauppage PVR-150's. | 19:27 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | The video card is a 6600 GT AGP NVidia card. | 19:28 |
| jphillip | did you check your logs for anything in there? | 19:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Give me a couple minutes and I'll give you the exact text, but if I remember correctly they said something about failing to switch to TV watching. | 19:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Wow, that's really vague. | 19:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Let me get the actual log. | 19:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Sorry for the wait, I'm connecting a monitor instead of the TV so I can actually read the stuff. | 19:34 |
| jphillip | MythbuntuGuest53 you should just ssh into it if you can | 19:40 |
| jphillip | !logs | MythbuntuGuest53 | 19:40 |
| Zinn | MythbuntuGuest53: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ | 19:40 |
| MrChapendi | hey, this is mythbuntuguest53 from the actual mytbuntu box. | 19:43 |
| jphillip | hey | 19:43 |
| MrChapendi | ok, here seems to be a problematic excerpt from the log | 19:44 |
| jphillip | !pastebin | MrChapendi | 19:44 |
| Zinn | MrChapendi: Please use paste.ubuntu.com for all configs or multiple line output, pastebin is preferred for large amounts of output as it cuts down on spamming multiple lines. | 19:44 |
| MrChapendi | I'm new to IRC, could you walk me through that? | 19:45 |
| jphillip | open paste.ubuntu.com in your web browser, paste things in there then send us the link to it when youa re done | 19:45 |
| MrChapendi | k | 19:45 |
| MrChapendi | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22673/ | 19:46 |
| MrChapendi | sorry about that | 19:46 |
| jphillip | don't put recording in your home dir | 19:47 |
| jphillip | can run into some pesky permission problems that way | 19:47 |
| MrChapendi | Where is the default location? | 19:47 |
| jphillip | let me double check, as I don't use the default | 19:47 |
| MrChapendi | k | 19:47 |
| MrChapendi | Would a bad recording location cause my problem? | 19:48 |
| jphillip | /var/lib/mythtv/recordings | 19:48 |
| jphillip | MrChapendi it looks like it can't create the recording, sounds like your problem | 19:48 |
| MrChapendi | Let me change it to the default and test. | 19:49 |
| MrChapendi | Thank you! I get TV now. | 19:50 |
| MrChapendi | I appreciate the help immensely. | 19:50 |
| MrChapendi | Out of curiosity, where do your recordings go jphillip? | 19:50 |
| MrChapendi | i'm just curious because i'll be getting a new harddrive for my box later and i'm wondering how settinng up a harddrive as a dedicated recording drive works | 20:03 |
| jphillip | MrChapendi I have a /mythtv folder that I keep things in | 20:05 |
| jphillip | mainly left over from my days of using LVM | 20:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Isn't that a kind of software RAID utility? | 20:05 |
| jphillip | also no problem on the help, glad it worked | 20:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Thanks again! | 20:05 |
| jphillip | it lets you join multiple drives together and so on | 20:06 |
| jphillip | its neat, but no longer needed with the fancy storage groups we have now | 20:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | My next task is to get the box set up as a fileserver as well... | 20:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | I have little experience with that, but there's only one way to get it | 20:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | Is it possible to run a Myth frontend on a Mac? | 20:09 |
| jphillip | it used to be, check wiki.mythtv.org | 20:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | i will | 20:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | thanks for a third time, i really appreciate it | 20:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | off to configure | 20:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest53 | bye | 20:13 |
| DrMoss | Hi, I have trouble with installing Mythbuntu. I get the "initramfs" prompt | 23:03 |
| DrMoss | I read on several forums different ideas, but I can't seem to get a solution. | 23:04 |
| Nostahl | hi all | 23:04 |
| Nostahl | i got an ir receiver usb and a remote from a hp laptop | 23:05 |
| DrMoss | I used an iso, and then changed the boot option, deleting "quiet splash",... | 23:05 |
| Nostahl | as well as the pcmcia tuner card too that goes with it | 23:05 |
| DrMoss | and adding "all_generic_ide". | 23:05 |
| Nostahl | what is needed to start using the remote and ir receiver with my mythbuntu system | 23:05 |
| DrMoss | It then installs. | 23:05 |
| DrMoss | But upon reboot, hangs on the Mythbuntu startup screen... | 23:06 |
| DrMoss | and then after 5 minutes, back to the 'initramfs' prompt..! | 23:06 |
| DrMoss | Any ideas anyone??! | 23:06 |
| Nostahl | hey drmoss | 23:07 |
| DrMoss | yes? | 23:08 |
| Nostahl | how tuff is it to setup a usb remote | 23:09 |
| DrMoss | Sorry - no idea. I was explaining something I was trying to do when you came onboard, so my post isn't releated to your new usb reciever sorry! | 23:09 |
| Nostahl | what kind of hardware are you setting up | 23:10 |
| DrMoss | I've just bought new kit, and trying to install Mythbuntu. I'm a newbie! | 23:11 |
| DrMoss | From what I've read, I might have trouble because I'm using a... | 23:11 |
| DrMoss | Seagate HDD... and a blu-ray optical drive. | 23:11 |
