[00:19] <mutation> is there an update for the imdb script that grabs movie descriptions?
[00:23] <mutation> never mind found it on the mythtv wiki
[01:53] <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
[02:59] <FAHTAW> can i still use mythbuntu as if it was ubuntu?
[03:01] <hads> Yup
[03:06] <FAHTAW> ok cool.
[03:06] <FAHTAW> how do i get the nvidia drivers installed if i cant boot to a shell instead of gdm ?
[03:14] <hads> Can you not log into gdm and then open a terminal? Otherwise just CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a terminal login.
[03:19] <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
[03:22] <tgm4883_laptop>  ah your installing the drivers from nvidia
[03:22] <tgm4883_laptop> not using the restricted driver manager
[03:23] <tgm4883_laptop> I haven't done that in awhile, but you should be able to ctrl-alt-f1 and then kill gdm
[03:24] <FAHTAW> cool
[03:24] <FAHTAW> i will have to try that
[03:25] <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.
[03:26] <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
[03:27] <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.
[03:32] <tgm4883_laptop> FAHTAW, just FYI, you can install the mythbuntu-desktop package in ubuntu and get a mythbuntu installation
[03:39] <FAHTAW> hmmm
[05:25]  * Lud7773 sends greetings!
[05:26] <Lud7773> anyone run into a problem where the guide on their mythbuntu tends to pause or even crash their system?
[07:31] <bronson> I just added an HD tuner to my mythtv setup...
[07:31] <bronson> The tuner works; mplayer displays the DVB just fine.
[07:31] <bronson> I get nothing but snow in Myth though.
[07:32] <bronson> Any ideas?
[09:20] <craig> hi
[09:20] <craig> does anyone have any experience with HDMI?
[10:36] <psicobra> is there a way of adding multiple folders to mythtv's video manager
[10:37] <craig> use commas, or colons..cant remember which
[10:37] <psicobra> cheers
[10:39] <craig> np...dont suppose your using hdmi?
[10:42] <psicobra> vga
[10:42] <psicobra> why whats up?
[10:43] <psicobra> craig, ?
[10:45] <craig> psicobra, i cant see my post over hdmi
[10:45] <craig> just wondering if i would see it when the nvidia driver loads
[10:46] <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
[10:51] <craig> psicobra, told it to look on board, enabled hdmi etc
[10:52] <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
[11:05] <psicobra> possible
[11:07] <craig> psicobra, it is possible ill get a picture once i have the xorg configured?  i hope so!
[11:09] <psicobra> yes but not at post
[11:11] <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
[11:20] <psicobra> if it is an nvidia gfx card downoad the nvidia utility
[11:20] <psicobra> does it for you
[11:25] <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
[11:32] <craig> psicobra, thanks mate...did the videos directory thing work?
[11:39] <psicobra> just about to find out
[11:39] <craig> kk, let me know
[11:51] <psicobra> yeah it worked after some playing about
[11:51] <psicobra> not quite the desired results but it works none the less
[11:52] <craig> what were you looking to do?
[11:54] <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
[11:55] <craig> ah yea i see, you could try and set up lvm perhaps, then you could use many drives as 1 mount point
[11:57] <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
[11:58] <craig> not raid, lvm...loads of myth docs on it
[11:58] <psicobra> need to read up
[11:58] <craig> not used it myself
[11:59] <craig> storage directories did away with my need for it
[11:59] <psicobra> my windows tv caed woks better under linux
[12:00] <craig> dvb-t?
[12:04] <psicobra> yeah
[12:04] <psicobra> freecom
[12:08] <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
[12:59] <jduggan> which country do you get dvb-c?
[13:02] <craig> uk
[13:05] <jduggan> oh reallllly
[13:05] <jduggan> illegally then?
[13:05] <jduggan> virgin media?
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <jduggan> dont they restrict devices by mac addr etc?
[13:39] <psicobra> i am with virgin please explain how this works i have a v+ box at the moment do you get rid of it?
[13:43] <craig> yes, get a dvb-c card
[13:44] <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?
[15:22] <Fenix-Dark> hi
[15:23] <Fenix-Dark> gonna try out mythbuntu, is there a difference between the desktop download and the alternate download?
[15:40] <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
[15:41] <superm1> good :)
[15:42] <Fenix-Dark> i just tried knoppmyth and that didn't work, so i'm going to give mythbuntu a try
[15:44] <superm1> okay well i'm gonna take off, best of luck.  if anything else comes up,

[19:51] <MythbuntuGuest75> ok...I'm totally nwe to linux and mythtv....I've bought an epia m10000,
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <rhpot1991> MythbuntuGuest75: the forums should have some info
[19:56] <MythbuntuGuest75> thanks.
[19:56] <MythbuntuGuest75> I've rebooted and now I've a gui!
[19:57] <MythbuntuGuest75> uuuhm..
[19:57] <rhpot1991> !forum | MythbuntuGuest75
[19:57] <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?
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <craigyboytaz> splash as in loading screen, or POST splash
[20:02] <rhpot1991> the mythbuntu/ubuntu loading thing with the progress bar
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <rhpot1991> he is the guy to talk to, but I haven't seen him around at all today
[20:04] <craigyboytaz> hopefully tonight then
[20:04] <craigyboytaz> afk
[20:04] <rhpot1991> craigyboytaz: he operate on european time, but kinda merges with american time
[20:08] <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?
[20:14] <Seeker`> my mythtv box keeps freezing, and it sounds like the hard drive keeps on powering down
[20:14] <craigyboytaz> is it muted?
[20:15] <saftaplan> ﻿craigyboytaz: no I unmuted everything in alsamixer :)
[20:20] <craigyboytaz> saftaplan, that was all i had to do
[20:22] <saftaplan> ﻿craigyboytaz: yes but i unmuted everything and set all to volume >80.. and it still doesn't work :S
[20:29] <saftaplan> first i thought it were problems with pulseaudio but that doesn't seem to be included in mythbuntu 8.04?
[20:30] <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 :)
[21:04] <craigyboytaz> saftaplan, did you get it?
[21:09] <laga> craigyboytaz: heya.
[21:09] <laga> craigyboytaz: sup?
[21:12] <craigyboytaz> laga, tink i might need your help soon!
[21:14] <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.
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <craigyboytaz> laga, i had an error like this http://www.mail-archive.com/ltsp-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32644.html
[21:20] <laga> craigyboytaz: yeah. soo..?
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <laga> okay, let me know how it goes.. i guess #ltsp can also advise on these more generic issues
[21:23] <craigyboytaz> laga, hoped you might have seen it before
[21:23] <laga> yeah, i think we discussed that in the forums
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <craigyboytaz> can i get you a coffee :p
[21:27] <laga> no thanks, i don't trink coffee ;)
[21:28] <craigyboytaz> red bull
[21:28] <laga> no caffeine at all :)
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <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
[21:36] <craigyboytaz> ok laga, brand new image gets that /tmp/eth0 error
[21:36] <craigyboytaz> will it be the driver not being loaded
[21:40] <craigyboytaz> or the other thing it could be is the port is being setup as eth1?
[21:45] <laga> possible.. check dmesg?
[21:45] <craigyboytaz> loading live cd just now
[21:46] <laga> yeah, or in the initramfs prompt, assuming you get one
[21:48] <craigyboytaz> dont get a prompt netbooting
[21:48] <craigyboytaz> live cd usees eth0 with sky 2 module
[21:50] <craigyboytaz> what command in the chroot should i use to make the initramfs?
[21:51] <craigyboytaz> and can i just sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64
[21:52] <laga> yes, just chroot
[21:52] <laga> then sudo update-initramfs -k all -c
[21:52] <laga> IIRC ;)
[21:52] <laga> then exit
[21:53] <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 :(
[21:54] <craigyboytaz> thats ok and just to double check  sky2 should go in /etc/init*/modules
[21:55] <craigyboytaz> saftaplan, well done mate :)
[21:56] <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!
[22:00] <Fenix-Dark> i just installed mythbuntu
[22:00] <Fenix-Dark> when i choose watch tv, it does nothing
[22:05] <craigyboytaz> laga, love you! seems to have worked!
[22:06] <craigyboytaz> laga, do i install the nvidia drivers on the client, do i need to update the img?
[22:08] <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
[22:28] <craigyboytaz> ok, now i have diskless working - can someone help with my admi/dvi connection?
[23:39] <rhpot1991> bah, new futurama movie doesn't play in internal palyer

[23:43] <rhpot1991> this is the first movie I cared about that hasn't worked
[23:43] <tgm4883_laptop> as did I, but i think xine might just be better
[23:43] <rhpot1991> I have some livdvdnav and libdvdread errors in here
[23:44] <rhpot1991> bunch of errors cracking CSS keys too
[23:46] <tgm4883_laptop> yea thats no deal :(
[23:46] <rhpot1991> hmmm I see words about using regionset to make sure your on the correct region correcting this one error
[23:46] <rhpot1991> guess I could try that
[23:47] <rhpot1991> alright, off to eat, I'll mess with it later and let you know how it goes
