| tgm4883_laptop | pretender_, pastebin your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| pretender_ | Whats paste pastebin? bringing up the log now | 00:10 |
| rhpot1991 | !pastbin | pretender_ | 00:19 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about pastbin | 00:19 |
| rhpot1991 | !pastebin | pretender_ | 00:20 |
| Zinn | pretender_: 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. | 00:20 |
| pretender_ | i have pasted the log as advised | 00:22 |
| rhpot1991 | now paste the url to it in here so tgm4883_laptop can see it | 00:22 |
| pretender_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25291/ | 00:23 |
| pretender_ | thanks | 00:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wow | 00:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so, how many steps of mythtv-setup did you do? one?....two at the most? | 00:24 |
| pretender_ | i used mythbuntu then ran through all the menues in mythtv-setup | 00:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | except the ones where you link the card to some channel guide? | 00:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and / isn't a suitable place for recordings | 00:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well first things first | 00:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | go back into mythtv-setup, and set a recording directory that can be written to | 00:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like /mythtv | 00:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then make it writable by mythtv:mythtv | 00:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and 775 it | 00:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then make sure you have a channel lineup in step 3 of mythtv-setup | 00:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and have linked it to a card in step 4 | 00:28 |
| pretender_ | i know / isn't good how can i delete that location i can only see add as an option not delete | 00:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | select it and hit d | 00:32 |
| pretender_ | thanks ill try do as advised and come back to the irc later if i'm still having trouble | 00:33 |
| bmathis | hello | 01:32 |
| bmathis | does anyone have a recommendation on a cheap machine for backend and frontend... maybe barebones or a full desktop? | 01:33 |
| bmathis | maybe a cheap machine for just a front end? | 01:35 |
| stoneymonster | trying to do a second debuild after pulling the source with apt-get source mythtv fails, even after "debuild clean" any suggestions? I don't want to redo all my patches... | 02:02 |
| stoneymonster | had to remove the symlnk in programs/firewire-tester | 02:35 |
| stoneymonster | debuild clean didn't do that | 02:35 |
| harmony32641 | Hi all, | 03:46 |
| harmony32641 | I have a new pcHdtv5500 tuner that seems to be working during the channel scan | 03:46 |
| harmony32641 | but when i choose "watch tv," it just returns to the menu | 03:46 |
| harmony32641 | and I don't see any telling error messages in either the frontend or the backend logs. | 03:46 |
| harmony32641 | What should I be looking for to get this working? | 03:46 |
| harmony32641 | Thanks. | 03:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | harmony32641, please pastebin your backend log | 03:51 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: should i restart the frontend, backend or both, and/or try to "watch tv" before copying the log? | 03:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 03:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'll have you do that if I don't see anything | 03:53 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: ok, thanks, just a sec... | 03:53 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: that's me on the other computer. hmm... ps shows the backend running but the log is empty! | 03:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log is empty? | 03:58 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883_laptop: was the old bot slow when it got bugs, or was it snappy? | 03:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rhpot1991, depending on the load, it was relatively snappy | 03:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | until the end, when it was hours later | 03:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but usually we got bug reports in < 10 minutes | 03:59 |
| rhpot1991 | LP is just slow in general with them | 03:59 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: yes, completely empty (never saw that before). this is a secondary backend/frontend. | 03:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what backend is your 5500 on? | 04:00 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: this one, not the master. | 04:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 04:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | pastebin your master backend log | 04:01 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883_laptop: it takes back about as long as it does to look up a bug via http | 04:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | rhpot1991, test? | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883_laptop: don't have it on him yet, I'll move it over in a bit, gonna go watch some TV first | 04:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | k | 04:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'll probably be watching vantage point later | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | still waiting for netflix to get me that | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | just gonna watch some recordings | 04:04 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: my first pastebin, did that work? | 04:07 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: my master backend also has a tuner that isn't working, a hvr950 usb stick. | 04:14 |
| harmony32641 | it was working fine for a few weeks but now it's the same as the 5500: just returns to the menu. | 04:14 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: should i restart the master backend? | 04:27 |
| harmony32641 | it seems like that log is mostly looping on a free space scan. | 04:27 |
| harmony32641 | or should I dig around in the older logs and pastebin something from there? | 04:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | harmony3264, what first pastebin? | 04:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you have to post the link for us ;) | 04:38 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: as i said: my first pastebin. let me see if i can find its link... | 04:40 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25329/ | 04:41 |
| harmony64322 | is that it? | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is that from the master backend? | 04:41 |
| harmony64322 | i meant "first ever" | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, do this | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | restart the backend, then try watching something, then pastebin your backend log | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hopefully we will get something important | 04:42 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: start watching on the remote frontend or on the backend, or do you care? | 04:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | don't care | 04:43 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: nice! maybe we'll get them both fixed! | 04:45 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25329/ | 04:48 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: oops, here's the new one: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25347/ | 04:49 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: how about this: | 04:50 |
| harmony64322 | 2008-07-05 23:45:46.834 DVBChan(4:0) Error: Opening DVB frontend device failed. eno: No such file or directory (2) ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database. Perhaps you should read the installation instructions? | 04:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea that looks bad | 04:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you run through all the mythtv-setup steps? | 04:52 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: yes, and this tuner was working (as you can see in the log there's like 300 hours of recordings i got before it quit). | 04:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what changed? | 04:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and which tuner is this? | 04:53 |
| harmony64322 | i'm not sure if it's related but it quit about the same time as i had another problem: | 04:54 |
| harmony64322 | i ran out of hd space and due to a permissions problem, it was unable to delete old recordings to make room. | 04:54 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: this is the hvr950 usb stick. | 04:54 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: other than that, i don't know of anything that changed. | 04:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | doesn't sound related, try deleting the tuner and readding it. I'm gotta go watch a movie but will be back later. Also, check your permissions on your recording dir and make sure it isn't in your home dir | 04:56 |
| harmony64322 | tgm4883_laptop: ok, thanks a lot! | 04:56 |

| thedarkone | WattoDaToydarian /etc/fstab | 06:42 |
| harmony3264 | tgm4883_laptop: | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | Ok, i deleted all capture cards on my master backend, | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | then tried to re-add but now the WIN_HVR_950 is not recognized: | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | Capture Card Setup | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | Card type: DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | Frontend ID: | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | Could not get card info for card #0 Subtype: Unknown error | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | I originally followed the directions from post #53 here: | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=740473&page=6#post5221175 | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | and as it said, I rebooted and it was recognized in mythtv-setup as | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | but he doesn't say what the module's name is | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | and I can't tell what it is from looking inside the make file. | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | I'm considering starting over with these directions: | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | http://u32.net/MythTV/WinTV-HVR-950/ | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | or would that mess something up, or just be repetitious? | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | btw, my recordings dir is under my home dir | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | because I've mounted a raid there (Data) for them | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | but i think it's ok because it was recording there fine | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | when the tuner's module would load. | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | ls -l Data/mythtv | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 16384 2008-07-06 02:24 recordings | 07:41 |
| harmony3264 | tgm4883_laptop: I'm going to get something to eat but I will check back here. | 08:08 |
| harmony3264 | Thanks again! | 08:08 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: actually i just had to restart x on that machine. | 08:23 |
| harmony32641 | I'll still check back in a while... | 08:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | harmony32641, IIRC you have to rebuild that every time there is a kernel upgrade | 08:28 |
| harmony32641 | tgm4883_laptop: yeah, a pain huh. | 08:38 |
| harmony32641 | but I built it on 2.6.24-19 and I just checked that my kernel is still the same. | 08:38 |
| jeffery | when I exit out of mythtv-setup, it says "Path live/ doesn't exist." ... where should I create the path? | 08:58 |
| XLV | i just installed mythbuntu, now i want it to have same desktop theme, menu/panel items etc as ubuntu, i have already installed ubuntu-desktop, can it be done? | 12:09 |
| laga | XLV: log out, choose gnome as your session in gdm, log back in | 12:34 |
| XLV | laga, thanks, i am using vnc to control htpc, cause its on a crt tv atm with svideo tvout at 1024x768, and its annoying to try to do any maintenance on it using the crt tv as display, so i couldnt see that mythbuntu offered there the option for WM | 12:39 |
| noisymime | If anyone would like to try out a new experimental myth frontend, gloss 0.1 has just been released, including packages for 8.04. Testing/feedback greatly appreciated. | 13:16 |
| laga | noisymime: great stuff. can't try it right now, though, my backend is offline | 13:17 |
| Aquahallic | Mornin' folks | 13:54 |
| XLV | mythbuntu comes with threaded fddshow included? | 14:06 |
| XLV | or i should try to install coreavc for linux? | 14:06 |
| laga | ffdshow? isn't that windows stuff? ;) | 14:07 |
| laga | mythtv in mythbuntu 8.04 can do multithreading for certain content | 14:07 |
| XLV | my bad, i meant ffmpeg or whatever its called ;-) | 14:08 |
| Aquahallic | mythtv comes with ffmpeg but it doesn't come with the restricted. You have to enable the medibuntu repositories to get the restricted drivers. | 14:36 |
| laga | the internal player in mythtv does not care about the ffmpeg packages | 14:38 |
| gpd | So I installed ubuntu hardy, then apt-get installed mythbuntu-desktop. | 14:59 |
| gpd | now i have a working system - but the mythconverg tables and mythtv user are not in the mysql | 15:00 |
| gpd | mythtv-setup doesn't want to do that stage - do i create by hand - or is there a reconfigure i should do? | 15:00 |
| gpd | probably because I set a root password for mysql? | 15:15 |
| laga | gpd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 15:16 |
| gpd | laga: fantastic - thank you! :) | 15:17 |
| laga | gpd: kudos for not forgetting your root password for mysql. :) | 15:18 |
| Frans-Willem | Has anyone every attempted to get the MythBuntu diskless client to login via LDAP and share the home dir from the server ? | 18:32 |
| laga | not me. | 18:34 |
| laga | i'd be interested in that, tho | 18:34 |
| laga | Frans-Willem: you don't even need ldap if you just want the home dir | 18:38 |
| Frans-Willem | Well, I've considered just mounting the entire homedir or even just /home/mainuser, but I feel LDAP would be nicer :p | 18:50 |
| laga | i wasn't aware LDAP had special file sharing powers | 18:52 |
| Frans-Willem | Well, I'm not that sure about LDAP, but I'm afraid that things might get ugly if the credentials on the client and the server don't match | 18:53 |
| laga | no, LDAP doesnt seem to be able to transfer real files. or at least let you mount directories | 18:53 |
| laga | .. over the network | 18:53 |
| Frans-Willem | So how would you do it then? simply share /home read-write and mount it on the clients ? | 18:54 |
| foxbuntu | laga, no but LDAP will allow you to create a home dir or at least universal creds to prevent issues when creating mount points | 18:54 |
| laga | foxbuntu: what would be issues? different UID/GID on server and client? | 18:55 |
| laga | Frans-Willem: yes, assuming the UIDs match. nfs-kernel-server doesn't really have any fancy UID mapping :( but that might have changed with nfs version 4 | 18:56 |
| foxbuntu | yeah...for the most part it wouldnt matter, the permissions just have to be matched up, it only becomes an issue with a large environment | 18:56 |
| Frans-Willem | So would it be safe to just share /home ? | 18:57 |
| Frans-Willem | Or would it be better to mount /home to something like /var/cache/mythbuntu-diskless/clienthome ? | 18:58 |
| Frans-Willem | (Although that would make it complicated if your main box is supposed to be a frontend too | 18:58 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, why are you trying to share /home? | 18:59 |
| Frans-Willem | foxbuntu: Because things like video covers are by default shared in the homedir | 18:59 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, create a shared location and symlink to it from the default location? | 19:00 |
| foxbuntu | that would be much safer | 19:00 |
| Frans-Willem | Hmmmz... | 19:01 |
| Frans-Willem | That *is* a nice solution indeed :) | 19:01 |
| Frans-Willem | Hadn't thought of that yet | 19:01 |
| Frans-Willem | so like creating /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers and "ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo" on the server and "mainip:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo nfs ..." in the fstab of the clients ? | 19:03 |
| foxbuntu | no | 19:04 |
| Frans-Willem | ? | 19:04 |
| foxbuntu | not far off | 19:04 |
| foxbuntu | you want the /home location to think its a folder when it really is a symlink to the nfs location | 19:05 |
| foxbuntu | so the symlink is actually on the clients | 19:05 |
| foxbuntu | the directory is on the server | 19:06 |
| foxbuntu | and the clients nfs mount to the server's shared directory | 19:06 |
| foxbuntu | so: | 19:06 |
| foxbuntu | On Server1: /var/lib/mythtv/SharedFolder1 | 19:07 |
| foxbuntu | On Client1: nfs mount /somedir/ | 19:07 |
| foxbuntu | (which is the server location then) | 19:07 |
| Frans-Willem | Ok, so to recap, on the server: | 19:08 |
| foxbuntu | then On Client1: ln -s /home/someuser/.mythtv/MythVideo /somedir/ | 19:08 |
| Frans-Willem | How is that different to simply mounting /home/someuser/.mythtv/MythVideo to a network share ? | 19:09 |
| foxbuntu | because you dont want your server writing to the /home directory | 19:09 |
| foxbuntu | permissions would get all screwed up to make it work | 19:09 |
| foxbuntu | you want the server writing to a local spot that is shared to the clients and then if you want to use that default location symlink to it to maintain security | 19:10 |
| Frans-Willem | Hmmm, just to be sure we're both on the same page | 19:11 |
| Frans-Willem | what's the difference between (on the client) doing either: | 19:11 |
| Frans-Willem | mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo | 19:11 |
| Frans-Willem | and | 19:11 |
| Frans-Willem | mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers | 19:12 |
| Frans-Willem | ln -s /var/lib/mythtv/videocovers /home/mainuser/.mythtv/MythVideo | 19:12 |
| Frans-Willem | Isn't the second doing exactly the same as the former but with one extra redirection ? | 19:12 |
| foxbuntu | Im sorry I was misunderstanding what you were trying to accomplish before | 19:14 |
| foxbuntu | it sounded like you wanted to share /home and mount it on the server or other clients and write to the clients | 19:14 |
| laga | !spork foxbuntu | 19:14 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about spork foxbuntu | 19:14 |
| foxbuntu | !stab laga | 19:14 |
| * Zinn stabs laga with a rusty spork. | 19:14 | |
| laga | ah, thanks. | 19:14 |
| Frans-Willem | heh :p | 19:17 |
| Frans-Willem | foxbuntu: Yes, that was one of my possible solutions | 19:18 |
| Frans-Willem | I was thinking about: | 19:18 |
| Frans-Willem | - Either creating a shared dir (safest, but requires me to create a seperate dir for every shared thing) | 19:19 |
| Frans-Willem | - Sharing /home on the server and mounting that on the clients (credentials fuckup, probably) | 19:19 |
| Frans-Willem | - Sharing a random dir (like /var/lib/mythtv/clienthome) and mounting that to /home on the clients (clients have same credentials, so less of a fuckup, but doesn't allow the server to be a frontend too) | 19:20 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, you have your ideas, my only advice is to stay away from sharing /home | 19:20 |
| Frans-Willem | But that third solution looks safe too ? | 19:21 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, yeah...it wouldnt be an issue | 19:24 |
| Frans-Willem | K :) | 19:25 |
| Frans-Willem | So who else is actually using the diskless setup ? | 19:30 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, you are the only one | 19:30 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 19:30 |
| Frans-Willem | Ok, so let's say that I write down everything I did to make my config useful (e.g. shared media, everything working correctly), who should I send it to for review and possible inclusion in MythBuntu ? | 19:31 |
| foxbuntu | Frans-Willem, put it in a Wiki | 19:33 |
| laga | i wish i used the diskless tuff | 19:34 |
| laga | +s | 19:35 |
| foxbuntu | laga, that funny considering its your baby | 19:35 |
| laga | yeah | 19:36 |
| laga | :) | 19:36 |
| laga | i'm kinda glad it's so.. complete. all the functionality is there, and most stuff i'd consider adding is minor hacks to MCC | 19:36 |
| foxbuntu | laga, its really grown pretty quickly | 19:37 |
| Frans-Willem | It's just great being able to put the main box outside of the living room, and simply have a completely passive box in the living room :) | 19:39 |
| Frans-Willem | It's quite good actually, but there are quite a bit of things that I feel should've been in there by default | 19:41 |
| Frans-Willem | e.g. the mounting of the videos, music, and pictures dir | 19:41 |
| laga | yes | 19:42 |
| laga | but you need lots of magic to do that. | 19:42 |
| laga | maybe using bonjour.. | 19:42 |
| Frans-Willem | :/ | 19:42 |
| Frans-Willem | Hell no :/ | 19:42 |
| laga | it's kinda there. you can tell mythbuntu to export your stuff in MCC | 19:42 |
| laga | but i'm not sure if mounting is automagic | 19:42 |
| Frans-Willem | For mounting you need to add some lines to the fstab of the diskless one, and fix the lts.conf file to not rewrite it on each boot | 19:43 |
| laga | such things - shares etc could probably be put into the mysql DB. but you probably dont want to depend on that. | 19:43 |
| laga | for mythtv itself, there'll probably be support for just streaming media using the mythtv protocol | 19:43 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | the recordings dir and stuff get shared automagically IIRC | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | via samba | 19:44 |
| laga | rhpot1991_laptop: you need to enable it first | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | only works if you use the defualt as well | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | its really not that hard to do that yourself either :) | 19:44 |
| Frans-Willem | Hmm, I've got all dirs shared through samba and NFS, yet my diskless clients didn't mount it | 19:44 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Frans-Willem: You need to setup your client to mount them | 19:45 |
| laga | rhpot1991_laptop: i meant to make it more dynamic by getting the location for the various directories from the DB, but i'm not sure if that happened. | 19:45 |
| Frans-Willem | rhpot1991_laptop: Are we talking about the Live CD or the Diskless setup? and if we're talking about the diskless setup, how did you set it up then ? | 19:46 |
| * rhpot1991_laptop searches for a good wiki entry to describe the process | 19:46 | |
| Frans-Willem | I basically just adjusted fstab myself | 19:46 |
| laga | rhpot1991_laptop: i think he already knows how to setup fstab | 19:47 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | ah ok | 19:47 |
| Frans-Willem | :) | 19:47 |
| Frans-Willem | Oh btw, did you also have to adjust lts.conf and add that extra "[default]" line ? | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | mine isn't diskless, just another backend, all I did was added the shares to fstab myself | 19:48 |
| Frans-Willem | Ah ok | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I don't use default shares either so I had to go and create them and all | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | s/shares/folders/ | 19:48 |
| laga | Frans-Willem: the [default] thing is a known bug, i just never got around to fixing it.. | 19:49 |
| Frans-Willem | Yeah, that's basically what I did, but on top of that I also had to add a line to lts.conf as that was missing and causing LTSP to syntax error and ignore the directive not to overwrite fstab | 19:49 |
| laga | which is a shame ;) | 19:49 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | laga: I wonder if you could mysql all that and have clients/backends/etc read that upon install from the master backend | 19:49 |
| laga | rhpot1991_laptop: yeah, and if the mysqld is down? ;) | 19:50 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | epic failure | 19:50 |
| laga | heh | 19:51 |
| laga | indeed | 19:51 |
| Frans-Willem | If the mysqld is down the whole backend is prolly down in which case your diskless client shouldn't be booting anyway :p | 19:51 |
| laga | Frans-Willem: wanna bet? | 19:51 |
| laga | ;) | 19:51 |
| laga | go to MCC, make a bootable thumb drive, check the "wake on lan" option, enter MAC address. done | 19:51 |
| laga | although i have to admit i never really tested it ;) | 19:52 |
| Frans-Willem | heh :p | 19:53 |
| Frans-Willem | Btw, has anyone ever attempted making a mythbuntu backend without an actual videocard ? | 19:54 |
| Frans-Willem | Like have X run in VNC mode only ? | 19:54 |
| m_tadeu | hi everyone | 20:49 |
| m_tadeu | is there a way to display the mouse cursor? | 20:50 |
| m_tadeu | think I got it :) | 20:58 |
| laga | Frans-Willem: i'd probably use X tunneling in ssh | 21:17 |
| Frans-Willem | laga: I use a Windows machine as my main desktop ;) | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | Frans-Willem: you can still forward X to that, its a bit of a pain though | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | have to get cygwin running to forward apps to | 21:21 |
| Frans-Willem | Yeah, I've already looked at it before, and figured it'd be easier to just stick to VNC :p | 21:22 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | agreed | 21:22 |
| talmagec | Can anyone help me with mythtv setup? | 21:40 |
| talmagec | I have a Hauppauge winTV card and I built the device driver, tried to set up in backend, but all I get is a green screen when I try to watch tv. Everything works fine in windows, so nothing wrong with cable source, etc. | 21:41 |
| laga | you built the device driver? | 21:50 |
| talmagec | yes | 21:52 |
| talmagec | i think its configuration of backend | 21:52 |
| talmagec | not sure | 21:52 |
| talmagec | i did the aptitude install mercurial build-essential linux-source, then cd /usr/local/src and then hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb followed by make & make install | 21:53 |
| laga | does it work in other applications? | 21:54 |
| talmagec | i have only tried in windows | 21:55 |
| talmagec | i haven't tried to get it to work in linux except in mythtv | 21:55 |
| talmagec | i'm thinking it has something to do with backend setup | 21:55 |
| laga | why did you build the v4l-dvb drivers from hg? | 21:55 |
| Frans-Willem | My Hauppauge WinTV 500MCE was pretty much plug and play, why would you want to build it from source :p? | 21:56 |
| laga | anyways, i recommend trying it in another application first, like xawtv or mplayer | 21:56 |
| talmagec | i was reading directions from linux magazine | 21:57 |
| talmagec | installing xawtv now | 21:58 |
| talmagec | i'm going to reboot and brb | 21:59 |
| talmagec | i cant get xawtv to even start | 22:02 |
| talmagec | no luck in motv either. | 22:10 |
| talmagec | i'm in the USA using cable (no box), so i assume my settings are: NTSC-M, us-cable | 22:11 |
| talmagec | is that right? | 22:11 |
| bmathis | hello | 22:37 |
| bmathis | does anyone have a good walkthrough of setting up the remote that comes with a hauppauge pvr-150? I cant seem to get it to work, even with the mcc. | 22:38 |
