[00:19] is there an update for the imdb script that grabs movie descriptions? [00:23] never mind found it on the mythtv wiki [01:53] 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 [02:59] can i still use mythbuntu as if it was ubuntu? [03:01] Yup [03:06] ok cool. [03:06] how do i get the nvidia drivers installed if i cant boot to a shell instead of gdm ? [03:14] Can you not log into gdm and then open a terminal? Otherwise just CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a terminal login. [03:19] 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] well i go to a shell window and it still doesnt install [03:22] ah your installing the drivers from nvidia [03:22] not using the restricted driver manager [03:23] I haven't done that in awhile, but you should be able to ctrl-alt-f1 and then kill gdm [03:24] cool [03:24] i will have to try that [03:25] waiting on mythbuntu to finish downloading [03:25] i was a little troubled trying to get myth tv installed under ubuntu [03:25] It's wise to use the packaged drivers if you can. [03:26] thats why i am going to just use mythbuntu [03:26] really thought the nvidia drivers would have been better than the ones that were in ubuntu [03:27] more of a headache than a solution [03:27] mythbuntu and ubuntu are the same thing [03:27] I haven't heard of many people having issues with the nvidia drivers lately though. [03:32] FAHTAW, just FYI, you can install the mythbuntu-desktop package in ubuntu and get a mythbuntu installation [03:39] hmmm [05:25] * Lud7773 sends greetings!

[07:31] The tuner works; mplayer displays the DVB just fine. [07:31] I get nothing but snow in Myth though. [07:32] Any ideas? === MythbuntuGuest72 is now known as craiga === craiga is now known as craig [09:20] hi [09:20] does anyone have any experience with HDMI? [10:36] is there a way of adding multiple folders to mythtv's video manager [10:37] use commas, or colons..cant remember which [10:37] cheers [10:39] np...dont suppose your using hdmi? [10:42] vga [10:42] why whats up? [10:43] craig, ? [10:45] psicobra, i cant see my post over hdmi [10:45] just wondering if i would see it when the nvidia driver loads [10:46] cant get that far due to a diskless error just now tho! lol [10:46] probably not u might need to specify in your bios where to look first i.e pci or agp pci-e ect [10:51] psicobra, told it to look on board, enabled hdmi etc [10:52] just wondering if the signal it gives out is outside my tv's range [10:52] psicobra, also doesnt show anything over dvi-hdmi [11:05] possible [11:07] psicobra, it is possible ill get a picture once i have the xorg configured? i hope so! [11:09] yes but not at post [11:11] 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 [11:20] if it is an nvidia gfx card downoad the nvidia utility [11:20] does it for you [11:25] psicobra, cant try it right now...but ill download it when i get home, it is in MCC right? [11:25] yes you can download through myth tv config or synaptics [11:32] psicobra, thanks mate...did the videos directory thing work? [11:39] just about to find out [11:39] kk, let me know [11:51] yeah it worked after some playing about [11:51] not quite the desired results but it works none the less [11:52] what were you looking to do? [11:54] 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] if you get what i mean [11:55] ah yea i see, you could try and set up lvm perhaps, then you could use many drives as 1 mount point [11:57] 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 [11:58] not raid, lvm...loads of myth docs on it [11:58] need to read up [11:58] not used it myself [11:59] storage directories did away with my need for it [11:59] my windows tv caed woks better under linux [12:00] dvb-t? [12:04] yeah [12:04] freecom [12:08] 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 [12:59] which country do you get dvb-c? [13:02] uk [13:05] oh reallllly [13:05] illegally then? [13:05] virgin media? [13:06] yes virgin, where you from jduggan [13:06] UK [13:06] are you on analogue or something? [13:06] * jduggan wasnt aware you could use dvb-c with virgin [13:07] dont they restrict devices by mac addr etc? [13:39] i am with virgin please explain how this works i have a v+ box at the moment do you get rid of it? [13:43] yes, get a dvb-c card [13:44] and just plug the cabel into it? [13:44] how many tuners? [13:44] yep, you need sasc-ng as well, but it is naughty [13:44] and cant be talked about here ;) [13:44] what is that? [15:22] hi [15:23] gonna try out mythbuntu, is there a difference between the desktop download and the alternate download? === scott_ is now known as Fenix-Dark [15:40] Fenix-Dark, the desktop will do a more complete install [15:40] ty [15:40] the alternate you still have a lot of manual steps post install [15:40] good, cause i'm downloading the desktop version [15:41] good :) [15:42] i just tried knoppmyth and that didn't work, so i'm going to give mythbuntu a try [15:44] okay well i'm gonna take off, best of luck. if anything else comes up, [15:44] !ask Fenix-Dark [15:44] Sorry I don't know about ask Fenix-Dark [15:44] !ask | Fenix-Dark [15:44] Fenix-Dark: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.

[19:51] ok...I'm totally nwe to linux and mythtv....I've bought an epia m10000, [19:53] 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] tried to find something on the pdf, but without success [19:54] how can I start the gui? [19:54] check your logs: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:54] should say in there what the problem is [19:55] that being said, I don't know any of that via video stuff so I can't help much other than that [19:55] I'd imagine you need to enable the correct restricted drivers [19:55] thanks [19:56] MythbuntuGuest75: the forums should have some info [19:56] thanks. [19:56] I've rebooted and now I've a gui! [19:57] uuuhm..

[19:57] MythbuntuGuest75: if it aint broke don't fix it [19:57] nope [19:57] sorry [19:57] np, how about hdmi? [19:57] negatory [19:57] let me guess, you want sound? [19:58] ever heard of hdmi working with one tv but not another, POST im talking about, not X [19:58] negatory :p [19:58] odd [19:58] sounds like the tv is the issue [19:58] i know, im hoping it will be fine once i load the nvidia X drivers [19:58] 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 [19:59] could just be a matter of the tv detecting the signal [19:59] but to get to that i need diskless working, and it is doing my head in...think is is my eth0 module [19:59] yep...hoping X with the right modeline will fix it [19:59] my one is real slow to show anything when the computer boots, but once it gets to the splash screen its all fine [20:00] splash as in loading screen, or POST splash [20:02] the mythbuntu/ubuntu loading thing with the progress bar [20:03] kk, just burning myself a new livecd..keep those fingers crossed, you heard from laga today? hoping he can help with the diskless thing [20:04] he is the guy to talk to, but I haven't seen him around at all today [20:04] hopefully tonight then [20:04] afk [20:04] craigyboytaz: he operate on european time, but kinda merges with american time [20:08] 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? [20:14] my mythtv box keeps freezing, and it sounds like the hard drive keeps on powering down [20:14] is it muted? [20:15] craigyboytaz: no I unmuted everything in alsamixer :) [20:20] saftaplan, that was all i had to do [20:22] craigyboytaz: yes but i unmuted everything and set all to volume >80.. and it still doesn't work :S [20:29] first i thought it were problems with pulseaudio but that doesn't seem to be included in mythbuntu 8.04? [20:30] saftaplan, i gtg...dont suppose you are connected to the wrong jack? always double check the obvious [20:30] I have gentoo still on the same hard drive and sound works there [20:30] but thanks for the effort craigyboytaz :) [21:04] saftaplan, did you get it? [21:09] craigyboytaz: heya. [21:09] craigyboytaz: sup? [21:12] laga, tink i might need your help soon! [21:14] 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. [21:15] craigyboytaz: good. feel free to ask, but i might not be around :) [21:15] ok, ill ask you the probelm i had last night..rebuilding the image right now so cant test yet [21:16] laga, i had an error like this http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32644.html [21:20] craigyboytaz: yeah. soo..? [21:21] laga, tried the fix it suggests, putting sky2 (Marvell yukon) module into /etc...then mkinitramfs then update-kernels [21:21] and it woouldnt get past the initrd download...so ruibuilding the image just now [21:22] okay, let me know how it goes.. i guess #ltsp can also advise on these more generic issues [21:23] laga, hoped you might have seen it before [21:23] yeah, i think we discussed that in the forums [21:25] laga, i saw a thread, but didnt seem to come to a conclusion...dont suppose you have a link [21:25] nope [21:25] gotta search the forums yourself, i'm too tired now ;) [21:25] guess that is fair enough [21:26] can i get you a coffee :p [21:27] no thanks, i don't trink coffee ;) [21:28] red bull [21:28] no caffeine at all :) [21:29] aw man, how will i keep you awake till we fix this :p [21:29] you also need to re-run ltsp-update-kernels outside the chroot [21:29] after rebuilding the initramfs. [21:29] ltsp-update-image shouldn't be necessary [21:30] 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] did that, thing went totally fuuny, just downloaded the kernel and initrd, then nothing [21:30] odd [21:36] ok laga, brand new image gets that /tmp/eth0 error [21:36] will it be the driver not being loaded [21:40] or the other thing it could be is the port is being setup as eth1? [21:45] possible.. check dmesg? [21:45] loading live cd just now [21:46] yeah, or in the initramfs prompt, assuming you get one [21:48] dont get a prompt netbooting [21:48] live cd usees eth0 with sky 2 module [21:50] what command in the chroot should i use to make the initramfs? [21:51] and can i just sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64 [21:52] yes, just chroot [21:52] then sudo update-initramfs -k all -c [21:52] IIRC ;) [21:52] then exit [21:53] craigyboytaz: i finally found it :) apparently, "line jack sense" should be *muted* to have sound :P thanks for your help [21:53] then sudo ltsp-update-kernels [21:53] but maybe you also need to run ltsp-update-kernels inside the chroot, too [21:53] i dont have a chroot here right now :( [21:54] thats ok and just to double check sky2 should go in /etc/init*/modules [21:55] saftaplan, well done mate :) [21:56] 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] lmfao! [22:00] i just installed mythbuntu [22:00] when i choose watch tv, it does nothing [22:05] laga, love you! seems to have worked! [22:06] laga, do i install the nvidia drivers on the client, do i need to update the img? [22:08] if you need the same nvidia driver on all clients, install it inside the chroot [22:08] else install it on the client. [22:08] gotta run, cya [22:08] later laga [22:28] ok, now i have diskless working - can someone help with my admi/dvi connection? === F4HT4W is now known as FAHTAW [23:39] bah, new futurama movie doesn't play in internal palyer [23:41] * tgm4883_laptop_ stabs rhpot1991 [23:41] !stab tgm4883_laptop_ [23:41] * Zinn stabs tgm4883_laptop_ with a rusty spork.
