KillerKiwi2005spikemcc: a better setup might be a dedicated  backend box and just mythfrontend on your laptop03:26
spikemcccan you point me a good tutorial for mythtv or another good dvb app setup ?03:27
KillerKiwi2005you done the worst bit.. trust me the rest of the setup is all gui03:27

KillerKiwi2005http://www.mythbuntu.org/installation_manual03:28
spikemccdoes it's hard with lirc for the ir remote ?03:30
KillerKiwi2005yeah lirc can be tricky.. if you have a common remote mythbuntu control center will do the hard work for you03:32

pteagueThere is -2 days worth of data, through to 2008-07-0404:29
pteagueis there a cronjob i can run to keep my tv guide data up to date without me having to manually do it all the time?04:30
tgm4883_laptoppteague, in the frontend you need to set mythfilldatabase to run daily.  It is undergeneral setup04:33
pteaguedoes that mean i need to keep a frontend running?04:34
tgm4883_laptopno04:34
tgm4883_laptopyou just set it on the frontend, it's a backend proces04:34
tgm4883_laptops04:34
Frans-Willemtgm4883_laptop: Quick question about mythfilldatabase, any idea as what user it runs when started automatically? running mythfilldatabase manually seems to work fine whereas the automatic always fails here (xmltv error code 256)04:35
pteaguecool04:37
pteaguedo you guys think 512mb ram is ok for a frontend?04:38
tgm4883_laptoppteague, should be fine04:39
tgm4883_laptopFrans-Willem, i'd have to guess the mythtv user04:39
hadsYeah, same as the backend04:45
hadsSo you'll need to take into account the $HOME for that user04:46
=== MythbuntuGuest59 is now known as Rimers
Rimershi guys, i got a slight problem, not with my mythbuntu install itself, but with the fact that i can't figure out what program is using the harddisk every 1/2 second, is there a way to troubleshoot that and what program can i use to see what programs access the harddisk09:12
jdugganRimers: if you're recording, its mythtv09:14
Rimersnot recording09:14
jdugganthere are lots of apps writing to disk, syslog etc09:14
Rimersas far as i can see mythtv is not doing anything09:14
Rimerseven tried stopping mythtv process to verify it was not the problem09:15
Rimersatm i have stopped mythtv, samba, nfs and cron to try locating the source09:17

spikemccI still have 4 issues to resolve with hardy my microphone , my keyboard layout for old canadian french keyboard ,19:36
spikemccmy hauppage wintvpvr usb 2 setup and my game controllers block each other ...19:36
KjetilKhas anybody compiled the latest mantis drivers for Ubuntu?21:25
zabbadappso I upgraded mythbuntu to 8.04, but mysql doesn't start ... it says: ERROR: Using expire_logs_days without log_bin crashes the server ... also, every /etc/init.d/mysql* file has a new version that ends in .dpkg-new ... i.e. mysql and mysql.dpkg-new and so on ... why isn't the one with the newer filedate replacing the old one? Upgrade only asked about my.cnf which I let it replace21:56
zabbadappok .. so letting the upgrade replace my.cnf was a mistake ... replaced it with the old one and mysql started22:03
zabbadappoh, "dpkg was interrupted" ... so the upgrade was never completed??! well, it did some kind of restart of X and the stopped with the desktop running at low res and a new theme ...22:11
lagahow did you upgrade?22:14
zabbadappstarted the upgrade manager22:15
lagawell, that certainly shouldnt happen then :(22:15
zabbadappi don't know if I was too quick to restart it when it seemed finished and just sat with the desktop, new theme and low resolution ...22:16
zabbadappmythbackend won't start either :-( /usr/bin/mythbackend: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen22:20
zabbadappah, I have to re-add weekly fixes for hardy first?22:25
rhpot1991there is some way to have dpkg finish what it was doing22:33
rhpot1991if you try to sudo apt-get upgrade again it should tell you the command22:33
zabbadappyes, i did that. fixed mysql. but mythtvbackend still didn't start, so I read that the weekly fixes repos in gutsy caused hardy mythtv not to be upgraded. So I added the hardy fixes repos and did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and lots of mythpackages where installed ... but still the same error after reboot and trying to start mythtvbackend22:35
rhpot1991check your mysql password, maybe it changed it?22:35
zabbadappi can connect with sql-yog (wine) to the db... and "symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen" sounds like something else is wrong22:37
zabbadapphmm, I started the update manager, and it says "a previous upgrade didn't complete" ...  "run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible" ... ok, i'll try22:39
zabbadappYES! it started :-D  ... wheeew22:46
zabbadappbut wtf happened to the xfce sensors plugin??!! purple and green text for my temperatures ... it looks sick, and there is no config in the properties for it :(22:49
zabbadappconfigfile had colour-settings .. hope they kick in next time22:55
zabbadappthe LCD stops displaying myth-stuff when I start the frontend, how come? if I start watching live-tv it starts showing info on the lcd23:32
zabbadappseems like it recovers and start showing mythinfo after using a jump point key .. i can live with that23:43
zabbadappuhm, no ... it returns to the LCDproc status page after a while :-(23:44
