| mutation | is there an update for the imdb script that grabs movie descriptions? | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| mutation | never mind found it on the mythtv wiki | 00:23 |
| atlanta800 | I'm running a fully updated Mythbuntu 8.04 and when I attempt to watch a DVD it just crashes, the most debugging output I could get was a simple seg fault | 01:53 |
| FAHTAW | can i still use mythbuntu as if it was ubuntu? | 02:59 |
| hads | Yup | 03:01 |
| FAHTAW | ok cool. | 03:06 |
| FAHTAW | how do i get the nvidia drivers installed if i cant boot to a shell instead of gdm ? | 03:06 |
| hads | Can you not log into gdm and then open a terminal? Otherwise just CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a terminal login. | 03:14 |
| FAHTAW | thats the thing, i could log into fine but to complete the install for the nvidia drivers its shells go to a prompt | 03:19 |
| FAHTAW | well i go to a shell window and it still doesnt install | 03:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah your installing the drivers from nvidia | 03:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not using the restricted driver manager | 03:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I haven't done that in awhile, but you should be able to ctrl-alt-f1 and then kill gdm | 03:23 |
| FAHTAW | cool | 03:24 |
| FAHTAW | i will have to try that | 03:24 |
| FAHTAW | waiting on mythbuntu to finish downloading | 03:25 |
| FAHTAW | i was a little troubled trying to get myth tv installed under ubuntu | 03:25 |
| hads | It's wise to use the packaged drivers if you can. | 03:25 |
| FAHTAW | thats why i am going to just use mythbuntu | 03:26 |
| FAHTAW | really thought the nvidia drivers would have been better than the ones that were in ubuntu | 03:26 |
| FAHTAW | more of a headache than a solution | 03:27 |
| hads | mythbuntu and ubuntu are the same thing | 03:27 |
| hads | I haven't heard of many people having issues with the nvidia drivers lately though. | 03:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | FAHTAW, just FYI, you can install the mythbuntu-desktop package in ubuntu and get a mythbuntu installation | 03:32 |
| FAHTAW | hmmm | 03:39 |

| craig | hi | 09:20 |
| craig | does anyone have any experience with HDMI? | 09:20 |
| psicobra | is there a way of adding multiple folders to mythtv's video manager | 10:36 |
| craig | use commas, or colons..cant remember which | 10:37 |
| psicobra | cheers | 10:37 |
| craig | np...dont suppose your using hdmi? | 10:39 |
| psicobra | vga | 10:42 |
| psicobra | why whats up? | 10:42 |
| psicobra | craig, ? | 10:43 |
| craig | psicobra, i cant see my post over hdmi | 10:45 |
| craig | just wondering if i would see it when the nvidia driver loads | 10:45 |
| craig | cant get that far due to a diskless error just now tho! lol | 10:46 |
| psicobra | probably not u might need to specify in your bios where to look first i.e pci or agp pci-e ect | 10:46 |
| craig | psicobra, told it to look on board, enabled hdmi etc | 10:51 |
| craig | just wondering if the signal it gives out is outside my tv's range | 10:52 |
| craig | psicobra, also doesnt show anything over dvi-hdmi | 10:52 |
| psicobra | possible | 11:05 |
| craig | psicobra, it is possible ill get a picture once i have the xorg configured? i hope so! | 11:07 |
| psicobra | yes but not at post | 11:09 |
| craig | cool, will try that tonight, hopefully I will get xorg configured...not sure how to get it to mirror from my vga monitor to my plasma thou | 11:11 |
| psicobra | if it is an nvidia gfx card downoad the nvidia utility | 11:20 |
| psicobra | does it for you | 11:20 |
| craig | psicobra, cant try it right now...but ill download it when i get home, it is in MCC right? | 11:25 |
| psicobra | yes you can download through myth tv config or synaptics | 11:25 |
| craig | psicobra, thanks mate...did the videos directory thing work? | 11:32 |
| psicobra | just about to find out | 11:39 |
| craig | kk, let me know | 11:39 |
| psicobra | yeah it worked after some playing about | 11:51 |
| psicobra | not quite the desired results but it works none the less | 11:51 |
| craig | what were you looking to do? | 11:52 |
| psicobra | i have 2 hard drives and i wanted to add a folder on the second one just as additional space but unfortunately it has now created 2 seperate folders instead of viewing as 1 folder | 11:54 |
| psicobra | if you get what i mean | 11:54 |
| craig | ah yea i see, you could try and set up lvm perhaps, then you could use many drives as 1 mount point | 11:55 |
| psicobra | tried setting up a raid when i first installed mythbunut but it doesnt seem to have that option suse was way easier to set up raid | 11:57 |
| craig | not raid, lvm...loads of myth docs on it | 11:58 |
| psicobra | need to read up | 11:58 |
| craig | not used it myself | 11:58 |
| craig | storage directories did away with my need for it | 11:59 |
| psicobra | my windows tv caed woks better under linux | 11:59 |
| craig | dvb-t? | 12:00 |
| psicobra | yeah | 12:04 |
| psicobra | freecom | 12:04 |
| craig | im using dvb-c, works perfect even HD, just upgraded my frontend...now wont netboot and hdmi/dvi show nothing, hopefully drivers will fix it htough | 12:08 |
| jduggan | which country do you get dvb-c? | 12:59 |
| craig | uk | 13:02 |
| jduggan | oh reallllly | 13:05 |
| jduggan | illegally then? | 13:05 |
| jduggan | virgin media? | 13:05 |
| craig | yes virgin, where you from jduggan | 13:06 |
| jduggan | UK | 13:06 |
| jduggan | are you on analogue or something? | 13:06 |
| * jduggan wasnt aware you could use dvb-c with virgin | 13:06 | |
| jduggan | dont they restrict devices by mac addr etc? | 13:07 |
| psicobra | i am with virgin please explain how this works i have a v+ box at the moment do you get rid of it? | 13:39 |
| craig | yes, get a dvb-c card | 13:43 |
| psicobra | and just plug the cabel into it? | 13:44 |
| psicobra | how many tuners? | 13:44 |
| craig | yep, you need sasc-ng as well, but it is naughty | 13:44 |
| craig | and cant be talked about here ;) | 13:44 |
| psicobra | what is that? | 13:44 |

| === scott_ is now known as Fenix-Dark | ||
| superm1 | Fenix-Dark, the desktop will do a more complete install | 15:40 |
| Fenix-Dark | ty | 15:40 |
| superm1 | the alternate you still have a lot of manual steps post install | 15:40 |
| Fenix-Dark | good, cause i'm downloading the desktop version | 15:40 |
| superm1 | good :) | 15:41 |
| Fenix-Dark | i just tried knoppmyth and that didn't work, so i'm going to give mythbuntu a try | 15:42 |

| MythbuntuGuest75 | ok...I'm totally nwe to linux and mythtv....I've bought an epia m10000, | 19:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest75 | installed mythtv, but I don't get any gui after restart. simply a shell (bash?). what I've to do to get a gui? | 19:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest75 | tried to find something on the pdf, but without success | 19:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest75 | how can I start the gui? | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | check your logs: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | should say in there what the problem is | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | that being said, I don't know any of that via video stuff so I can't help much other than that | 19:55 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd imagine you need to enable the correct restricted drivers | 19:55 |
| MythbuntuGuest75 | thanks | 19:55 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest75: the forums should have some info | 19:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest75 | thanks. | 19:56 |

| Zinn | MythbuntuGuest75: The Mythbuntu forum is located at: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301 | 19:57 |
| craigyboytaz | rhpot1991, you done any diskless stuff? | 19:57 |
| rhpot1991 | MythbuntuGuest75: if it aint broke don't fix it | 19:57 |
| rhpot1991 | nope | 19:57 |
| rhpot1991 | sorry | 19:57 |
| craigyboytaz | np, how about hdmi? | 19:57 |
| rhpot1991 | negatory | 19:57 |
| rhpot1991 | let me guess, you want sound? | 19:57 |
| craigyboytaz | ever heard of hdmi working with one tv but not another, POST im talking about, not X | 19:58 |
| craigyboytaz | negatory :p | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | odd | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like the tv is the issue | 19:58 |
| craigyboytaz | i know, im hoping it will be fine once i load the nvidia X drivers | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | I've heard words about needing to muck in the bios to get hdmi working nicely, but sounds like you are already past that point | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | could just be a matter of the tv detecting the signal | 19:59 |
| craigyboytaz | but to get to that i need diskless working, and it is doing my head in...think is is my eth0 module | 19:59 |
| craigyboytaz | yep...hoping X with the right modeline will fix it | 19:59 |
| rhpot1991 | my one is real slow to show anything when the computer boots, but once it gets to the splash screen its all fine | 19:59 |
| craigyboytaz | splash as in loading screen, or POST splash | 20:00 |
| rhpot1991 | the mythbuntu/ubuntu loading thing with the progress bar | 20:02 |
| craigyboytaz | kk, just burning myself a new livecd..keep those fingers crossed, you heard from laga today? hoping he can help with the diskless thing | 20:03 |
| rhpot1991 | he is the guy to talk to, but I haven't seen him around at all today | 20:04 |

| saftaplan | hi, I'm using mythbuntu and i get no sound at all with, for example, `aplay /dev/urandom`... however I get no errors, it just pretends to play... my sound card worked in gentoo with no problems and is also recognised in mythbuntu. any ideas what I should do? | 20:08 |
| Seeker` | my mythtv box keeps freezing, and it sounds like the hard drive keeps on powering down | 20:14 |
| craigyboytaz | is it muted? | 20:14 |
| saftaplan | craigyboytaz: no I unmuted everything in alsamixer :) | 20:15 |
| craigyboytaz | saftaplan, that was all i had to do | 20:20 |
| saftaplan | craigyboytaz: yes but i unmuted everything and set all to volume >80.. and it still doesn't work :S | 20:22 |
| saftaplan | first i thought it were problems with pulseaudio but that doesn't seem to be included in mythbuntu 8.04? | 20:29 |
| craigyboytaz | saftaplan, i gtg...dont suppose you are connected to the wrong jack? always double check the obvious | 20:30 |
| saftaplan | I have gentoo still on the same hard drive and sound works there | 20:30 |
| saftaplan | but thanks for the effort craigyboytaz :) | 20:30 |
| craigyboytaz | saftaplan, did you get it? | 21:04 |
| laga | craigyboytaz: heya. | 21:09 |
| laga | craigyboytaz: sup? | 21:09 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, tink i might need your help soon! | 21:12 |
| LB523 | hi guys, I would like to know if, my usb based ir recievier(mce hauppage kit), with a phono jack output for ir blasting will work to ir blast to my atlanta box. I know the other solution would be a serial based ir blaster, but this is what i have at the moment. Any input would help. Thanks. | 21:14 |
| laga | craigyboytaz: good. feel free to ask, but i might not be around :) | 21:15 |
| craigyboytaz | ok, ill ask you the probelm i had last night..rebuilding the image right now so cant test yet | 21:15 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, i had an error like this http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32644.html | 21:16 |
| laga | craigyboytaz: yeah. soo..? | 21:20 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, tried the fix it suggests, putting sky2 (Marvell yukon) module into /etc...then mkinitramfs then update-kernels | 21:21 |
| craigyboytaz | and it woouldnt get past the initrd download...so ruibuilding the image just now | 21:21 |
| laga | okay, let me know how it goes.. i guess #ltsp can also advise on these more generic issues | 21:22 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, hoped you might have seen it before | 21:23 |
| laga | yeah, i think we discussed that in the forums | 21:23 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, i saw a thread, but didnt seem to come to a conclusion...dont suppose you have a link | 21:25 |
| laga | nope | 21:25 |
| laga | gotta search the forums yourself, i'm too tired now ;) | 21:25 |
| craigyboytaz | guess that is fair enough | 21:25 |
| craigyboytaz | can i get you a coffee :p | 21:26 |
| laga | no thanks, i don't trink coffee ;) | 21:27 |
| craigyboytaz | red bull | 21:28 |
| laga | no caffeine at all :) | 21:28 |
| craigyboytaz | aw man, how will i keep you awake till we fix this :p | 21:29 |
| laga | you also need to re-run ltsp-update-kernels outside the chroot | 21:29 |
| laga | after rebuilding the initramfs. | 21:29 |
| laga | ltsp-update-image shouldn't be necessary | 21:29 |
| laga | although i guess it also updates the kernels, but it's probably silly to do so much work just to update the kernels | 21:30 |
| craigyboytaz | did that, thing went totally fuuny, just downloaded the kernel and initrd, then nothing | 21:30 |
| laga | odd | 21:30 |
| craigyboytaz | ok laga, brand new image gets that /tmp/eth0 error | 21:36 |
| craigyboytaz | will it be the driver not being loaded | 21:36 |
| craigyboytaz | or the other thing it could be is the port is being setup as eth1? | 21:40 |
| laga | possible.. check dmesg? | 21:45 |
| craigyboytaz | loading live cd just now | 21:45 |
| laga | yeah, or in the initramfs prompt, assuming you get one | 21:46 |
| craigyboytaz | dont get a prompt netbooting | 21:48 |
| craigyboytaz | live cd usees eth0 with sky 2 module | 21:48 |
| craigyboytaz | what command in the chroot should i use to make the initramfs? | 21:50 |
| craigyboytaz | and can i just sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64 | 21:51 |
| laga | yes, just chroot | 21:52 |
| laga | then sudo update-initramfs -k all -c | 21:52 |
| laga | IIRC ;) | 21:52 |
| laga | then exit | 21:52 |
| saftaplan | craigyboytaz: i finally found it :) apparently, "line jack sense" should be *muted* to have sound :P thanks for your help | 21:53 |
| laga | then sudo ltsp-update-kernels | 21:53 |
| laga | but maybe you also need to run ltsp-update-kernels inside the chroot, too | 21:53 |
| laga | i dont have a chroot here right now :( | 21:53 |
| craigyboytaz | thats ok and just to double check sky2 should go in /etc/init*/modules | 21:54 |
| craigyboytaz | saftaplan, well done mate :) | 21:55 |
| saftaplan | and note to self: when testing sound with /dev/urandom, check that the volume is not too high first :P my parents almost killed me :P | 21:56 |
| craigyboytaz | lmfao! | 21:56 |
| Fenix-Dark | i just installed mythbuntu | 22:00 |
| Fenix-Dark | when i choose watch tv, it does nothing | 22:00 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, love you! seems to have worked! | 22:05 |
| craigyboytaz | laga, do i install the nvidia drivers on the client, do i need to update the img? | 22:06 |
| laga | if you need the same nvidia driver on all clients, install it inside the chroot | 22:08 |
| laga | else install it on the client. | 22:08 |
| laga | gotta run, cya | 22:08 |
| craigyboytaz | later laga | 22:08 |
| craigyboytaz | ok, now i have diskless working - can someone help with my admi/dvi connection? | 22:28 |
