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