[03:17] <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
[03:28] <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
[03:29] <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?
[03:30] <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/
[03:31] <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.
[03:32] <frozenskunk> Don't suppose you know about getting a CommandIR to work with 8.04?
[03:33] <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?
[03:35] <Egghead2> killerbeesateme, is your blaster led blinking? if so then its just probably the remote code
[03:36] <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
[03:37] <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?
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <Egghead2> ahh then probably remote code, i might have corrct code, what ird do u have?
[03:40] <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
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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...
[03:44] <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 :)
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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?
[03:50] <frozenskunk> no, just do sudo apt-get purge lirc?
[03:50] <Egghead2> u said irw doesnt work right?
[03:50] <Egghead2> yes
[03:51] <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?
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <killerbeesateme> Egghead, it doesn't bark until i try to enter any of the menu items
[03:56] <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?
[03:57] <Egghead2> im no, but when u run mythsetup is the ip addys 127.0.0.0 or the 192.168.x.x?
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <Egghead2> ie pvr_350 i think its called
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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
[04:05] <frozenskunk> ok, I I'm thinking that it's my hardware.conf file. I don't have a remote listed there it seems.
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <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
[04:09] <frozenskunk> ok, I was in the wrong file (hardware.conf)
[04:09] <Egghead2> kiler,u dont have a backend anywhere?
[04:10] <Egghead2> frozen sounds like hardware is working, so its sounds like remote is config correctly
[04:11] <frozenskunk> yeah, thats what I thought since I could see the mode2 data... should that be lircd.conf instead of lirc.conf?
[04:12] <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?
[04:13] <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
[04:14] <Egghead2> frozen put a # infront of the include file(s) in lircd.conf
[04:17] <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
[04:19] <frozenskunk> ok, I was trying to copy the file out of the /usr/share/ directory you sent, should I use the pastebin instead?
[04:20] <Egghead2> yes
[04:20] <Egghead2> i just made it alittle easier for ya :)
[04:20] <frozenskunk> i like easy! ;-)
[04:22] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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?
[04:29] <Egghead2> yea do
[04:29] <Egghead2> or run /etc/init.d/lirc restart
[04:29] <Egghead2> and then run irw in bash
[04:30] <Egghead2> and see if u get anything
[04:31] <frozenskunk> restarted lirc, and ran irw, get nothing...
[04:32] <Egghead2> any errors when restarting lirc?
[04:32] <frozenskunk> no, tells me it stopped, loaded, and started lirc daemon ok
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <Egghead2> frozen i dont know how to do that
[04:35] <Egghead2> also i made a mistake, u should run   mythbuntu-lircrc-generator  to generate the files
[04:39] <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?
[04:41] <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...
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <Egghead2> purge then install
[04:43] <Egghead2> it seems that the hardy motto
[04:43] <Egghead2> nite
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <Egghead2> problem playing music from mythweb when i password secure it, plays mp3s fine without password, any ideas on what to try?
[04:55] <kirkland> superm1: i have not succesfully generated a usb thumbdrive for the diskless client... i was playing with that (unsuccessfully) last weekend
[04:56] <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 :)
[04:58] <kirkland> superm1: ;-)  i'll chat with him tomorrow about that, then
[04:59] <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
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <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
[05:05] <Egghead2> superm1, do u know if there is any issues with password protecting mythweb?
[05:07] <superm1> there may be a bug with the scripts for doing it?
[05:07] <superm1> but i wouldnt know it offhand
[05:09] <Egghead2> k thanks
[05:15] <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
[05:16] <darthanubis> it does not ....oh...work for me. Is it supposed to?
[05:16] <darthanubis>  Or not until the update?
[05:17] <superm1> it should be working
[05:17] <superm1> it's kinda clunky to set up
[05:18] <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
[05:19] <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
[05:20] <superm1> okay so do you currently have any remote frontends?
[05:20] <darthanubis> no
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <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)
[05:24] <darthanubis> pretty sure its set to the ip address of the backend and not localhost
[05:26] <darthanubis> ok so the address was wrong
[05:26] <darthanubis> it was set to the routers address
[05:27] <superm1> :)
[05:27] <darthanubis> :)
[05:27] <darthanubis> now the moment of truth
[05:31] <darthanubis> Stream contains no data.
[05:31] <darthanubis> :(
[05:31] <darthanubis> I should restart the backend
[05:32] <darthanubis> but I thought mythtv-setupdpes that for me\
[05:32] <superm1> mythtv-setup should do it for you
[05:33] <superm1> as long as you didn't launch via mythtv-setup.real directly
[05:33] <darthanubis> then I'm back to square 1
[05:34] <superm1> well have you started totem again since yo udid this
[05:34] <superm1> or that same run
[05:41] <darthanubis> this is maddening
[05:41] <darthanubis> when things only reak for ne
[05:45] <superm1> well it's gotta be something else silly likely
[05:46] <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
[06:56] <Hipsto3> help i keep getting a Segmentation fault when i run mythbuntu-control-centre
[07:01] <Hipsto3> i left and yet here i am
[07:02] <Hipsto3> tgm4883 ping
[07:19] <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
[07:20] <Hipsto3> afraid to break dependency
[07:20] <tgm4883> what dependency would you break?
[07:22] <Hipsto3> dunno synaptic just gives a generic warning it may break dependency
[07:22] <tgm4883> by forcing the old version?
[07:23] <Hipsto3> yes
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <Hipsto3> "If you force a different version from the default one, errors in the dependancy handeling can occur."
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <Hipsto3> eh I'll try and force it
[07:29] <tgm4883> alright, well i'm going to bed, so report back soon
[07:32] <Hipsto3> nope didnt work still get Segmentation fault
[07:34] <Hipsto3> :-(
[08:25] <laga> kirkland: yeah, let me know about your problems with -diskless.
[08:26] <laga> kirkland: i'll be back in 4-5hours
[10:35] <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?
[11:09] <tplague> ir dont think has enough range from celler to attick
[11:09] <tplague> not sure if there is a rf/ir remote
[11:16] <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) ?
[11:20] <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
[11:23] <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...

[11:40] <Mammoth> I think my best bet is going for the Harmony 890/895 with multiple extenders... Is this supported in Mythbuntu 8.10 ?
[11:42] <Mammoth> is it possible to power-on / power-off frontends via the extender ?
[11:44] <Mammoth> sorry 8.04 :-)
[14:47] <Mammoth> I have posted my question here if anyone knowns how to do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839270
[19:14] <MythbuntuGuest53> hello
[19:17] <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.
[19:18] <MythbuntuGuest53> However, when I try to 'Watch TV' in the Mythbuntu frontend, it blanks for a second before returning to the main menu.
[19:19] <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.
[19:26] <jphillip> MythbuntuGuest53 it would help if you told everyone what kind of tuner you have
[19:27] <MythbuntuGuest53> Oh, I'm sorry.
[19:27] <MythbuntuGuest53> I'm using 2 Hauppage PVR-150's.
[19:28] <MythbuntuGuest53> The video card is a 6600 GT AGP NVidia card.
[19:31] <jphillip> did you check your logs for anything in there?
[19:32] <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.
[19:34] <MythbuntuGuest53> Sorry for the wait, I'm connecting a monitor instead of the TV so I can actually read the stuff.
[19:40] <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/
[19:43] <MrChapendi> hey, this is mythbuntuguest53 from the actual mytbuntu box.
[19:43] <jphillip> hey
[19:44] <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.
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <MrChapendi> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22673/
[19:46] <MrChapendi> sorry about that
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <MrChapendi> Let me change it to the default and test.
[19:50] <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?
[20:03] <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
[20:05] <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!
[20:06] <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...
[20:07] <MythbuntuGuest53> I have little experience with that, but there's only one way to get it
[20:09] <MythbuntuGuest53> Is it possible to run a Myth frontend on a Mac?
[20:12] <jphillip> it used to be, check wiki.mythtv.org
[20:13] <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
[23:03] <DrMoss> Hi, I have trouble with installing Mythbuntu.  I get the "initramfs" prompt
[23:04] <DrMoss> I read on several forums different ideas, but I can't seem to get a solution.
[23:04] <Nostahl> hi all
[23:05] <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.
[23:06] <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??!
[23:07] <Nostahl> hey drmoss
[23:08] <DrMoss> yes?
[23:09] <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!
[23:10] <Nostahl> what kind of hardware are you setting up
[23:11] <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.
