| Bob24 | could someone please tell me how i can remove all the nvidia drivers on my system and any other video drivers, so i can install the video from scracth | 03:22 |
| cckk | hello everyone, im am a new ubuntu user trying to replace windows in my home media computer, i have tried to setup mythbuntu by following directions but cannot figure out how to get it to connect to its server, is there a more newbie friendly way to install it? I downloaded the program from add/remove programs in the applications menu | 03:23 |
| hads | cckk: Did you install mythbuntu-control-centre | 03:28 |
| cckk | yes i did hads, thank you for responding :-) | 03:29 |
| hads | No problem. If you installed mythbuntu-control-centre (mcc) then you should be able to go into that and choose "Primary Backend" from the System Roles tab. | 03:31 |
| hads | As well as frontend. | 03:31 |
| cckk | yes i checked both of those options just as it say on the setup on the help on the site, | 03:34 |
| hads | OK, have you been into the MythTV configuration tab and tried the "Test MySQL Connection" button? | 03:35 |
| cckk | yes that where my problem is it cant find or connect to the server | 03:36 |
| cckk | i stuck with all the defaults eg, port ip password | 03:37 |
| hads | Well I'm not too familiar with how to setup things from scratch the proper Ubuntu way so I may just confuse the matter for you. | 03:41 |
| hads | It may be best to lurk around and wait for someone who can assist you more. | 03:41 |
| cckk | heres a little on my MMC (Sytem Roles) primary back end/ frontend/ubuntu desktop | 03:41 |
| cckk | ok hads thank you so much | 03:41 |
| hads | But basically you'll need to match the settings you put into mythtv-setup with the settings in the "MythTV Configuration" tab in m-c-c | 03:42 |
| hads | And if it's a standalone machine then you'll want to use localhost for the MySQL server. | 03:43 |
| cckk | all those setting were filled in by default oin the instalation | 03:43 |
| cckk | 127.0.0.1 right? | 03:43 |
| hads | That's localhost yes. I haven't setup an Ubuntu box from scratch the Ubuntu way so I'm not sure exactly what it does and when. | 03:44 |
| cckk | are you going to be on for a while hads? | 03:45 |
| hads | I'm always around but I'm at work so may not always respond. | 03:46 |
| cckk | ok im going to reformat that computer and start fresh with ubuntu 8.04 and the install a new myth package from the program add/remove, im am on irc on a different computer so if you dont mind ill ask questions when im stuck and hopefully you have time to help if you can :-) | 03:48 |
| LostinStGeorge | ok...so I have a problem....no matter what I try when I try to install or get into live cd of mythbuntu all I get to is busy box.....please help | 04:44 |
| cckk | LostinStGeorge: have you set you cd rom to be the first bootable in bios? | 04:50 |
| LostinStGeorge | yes | 04:54 |
| cmug | http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p189_Technotrend-Budget-T-1500-incl--CI-Interface-TT-Viewer.html is that a good card for cable usage? CI included, so I could watch payTV right? | 05:21 |
| cmug | "the newer cards (i.e. featuring a TD1316AL/IHP tuner with antenna in and out)) are reported to have bad signal quality on most frequencies due to unknown bug in driver " no it doesn't look very good | 05:24 |
| hads | cckk: The T in that URL makes it look like a DVB-T card. | 05:27 |
| hads | You'd want DVB-C | 05:27 |
| cmug | http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p185_Technotrend-Budget-C-1501-inkl--CI---TT-Viewer.html you are correct, this is what I was supposed to paste | 05:29 |
| cmug | i'm not cckk though :) | 05:29 |
| cmug | http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p144_SATELCO-EasyWatch-PCI-DVB-C--Basic-Edition-.html is supposedly better supported | 05:32 |
| hads | heh yeah cmug sorry. | 05:37 |
| cmug | np | 05:37 |
| hads | Why is the Satelco better? | 05:37 |
| hads | Oh, ...supported - long day. | 05:38 |
| cmug | its a bit cheaper and has a output aswell and the forums say its better supported out of the box | 05:38 |
| cmug | but the CI modules for the Satelco are more expensive | 05:38 |
| hads | We've sold loads of TechnotrendS1401/S1500/T1500 and they work fine out of the box. | 05:38 |
| hads | The C1500 should be the same | 05:39 |
| hads | *should* | 05:39 |
| cmug | 1500 yes, but 1501 is a different chipset | 05:39 |
| cmug | the one in my link is a 1501 | 05:39 |
| hads | I'll just stop talking, obviously I can't read today :) | 05:40 |
| cmug | I'm glad somebody is replying | 05:40 |
| cmug | what timezone are you in, hads ? | 05:40 |
| hads | +12 | 05:41 |
| hads | 16:41 currently | 05:41 |
| cmug | where the heck is that, past Japan somewhere | 05:41 |
| hads | hehe, New Zealand | 05:41 |
| cmug | Cool | 05:41 |
| cmug | I always wanted to visit :) | 05:41 |
| cmug | I hear you get strawberries 9 months out of 12 | 05:41 |
| hads | It sure is a nice place (well I think so). | 05:42 |
| cmug | I bet | 05:42 |
| hads | Hmm, dunno about the strawberries. I suppose I can normally get them all year so maybe :) | 05:42 |
| cmug | Is http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p50_CI-Interface-PCI-and-3-5--for-Satelco-KNC1-DVB-cards.html a "good" module for the Satelco cards? Or could I use the TT modules with Satelco cards, they are "common" right | 05:42 |
| cmug | I envy you :) | 05:43 |
| hads | I'm not overly familiar with CI as we don't have cable or de-cryptable satelitte here. | 05:43 |
| hads | So don't know if I can be much help sorry. | 05:44 |
| cmug | np | 05:44 |
| cmug | I wonder, if I buy a CI module, do I need to buy a CAM module separately that will fit to the CI module | 05:44 |
| cmug | I'm so lost ;) So far I have just been running my 2 -T cards for freetv | 05:45 |
| hads | Yeah, the CAM is a separate thing dependant on the provider. | 05:45 |
| cmug | now I move house, and I am afraid that they require the card for even freetv | 05:45 |
| cmug | oh so even the CAM modules are different | 05:45 |
| hads | Yeah the CAM is the bit that does the decryption so is dependant on what is being broadcast. The CI just gives you somewhere to plug it in. | 05:46 |
| cmug | yeah I thought the card does the decryption, and the card plugs to the cam and the cam plugs to the CI ;) | 05:47 |
| cmug | or is the CAM the same thing as the card | 05:48 |
| cmug | the pictures don't really tell me and its 7:48am so I am also unable to read ,) | 05:48 |
| NT | are there any tuner cards that can record in HD that are supported via kernel drivers? | 05:48 |
| NT | right now I've got a hauppauge MCE-150 that works well, but i want HD | 05:49 |
| hads | cmug: Nope, Card->CI->CAM - the CAM does the decryption, the CI is just an interface and the card does it's normal thing with the decrypted stuff. | 05:49 |
| hads | (AFAIK) | 05:49 |
| cmug | hads, ok | 05:50 |

| sling-shot | Hi guys. First time here. Using 8.04 and have installed mythtv package. After running the configuration and selecting Watch tv, nothing happens. Is there any guide I can refer to? | 15:36 |
| sling-shot | Should i scan for channels? | 15:41 |
| levander | I just went an did a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and it says a lot of myth packages are being held back. (I'm still running gutsy). Anyone know why that is? | 17:37 |
| CRXLNX | I have some recordings I made with an app in "another OS" and the audio creeps badly. what would you reccomend to fix it? or just give up on them? | 17:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | levander, packages get held back if they are trying to install new packages usually | 17:52 |
| Erhapp | Hello all | 17:59 |
| Erhapp | I've got a question regarding mythgallery. Mythgallery doesn't seem to be loading the images that are available in /var/lib/mythtv/pictures on my master backend. | 18:00 |
| Erhapp | Am I missing something here? | 18:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Erhapp, are you doing this on your master backend or on a remote frontend? | 18:01 |
| Erhapp | remote frontend | 18:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you have to manually mount /var/lib/mythtv/pictures on your remote frontend. Currently it does not use the mythtv protocol to stream anything but recordings | 18:06 |
| Erhapp | tgm4883: ok... now how would ik manually mount this folder??? (I'm a kind of new to some of those filesystems things...) | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to either use NFS or CIFS to do this. I have to run, so check the manual at http://www.mythbuntu.org/installation_manual If that doesn't help you there are others around or I will be back later | 18:09 |
| Erhapp | ok, thanks | 18:13 |
| Erhapp | Is there anybody who can help mee mounting /var/lib/mythtv/pictures to my remote frontend??? | 18:14 |
| cva | you can add something like this to your /etc/fstab | 18:17 |
| cva | mythtv:/var/lib/mythtv/pictures /var/lib/mythtv/pictures nfs hard,intr,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 | 18:17 |
| cva | the mythtv: indicates the hostname of my mythtv box, you;ll probably want to change it to the IP of your mythtvbackend system | 18:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | Hello. | 18:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | I´ve got a question about Mythbuntu | 18:19 |

| laga | sure. | 18:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | I want to set up my Hauppauge Nova S Plus TV Card, but I think it is not recognized | 18:29 |
| laga | what makes you think that? | 18:29 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | Iß m just in the first Installation of Mythbuntu | 18:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | I choose TV Cards (I use the German Version) | 18:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | What kind of Card Type do i have to choose for DVBs? | 18:32 |
| laga | dtv 3.x | 18:32 |
| laga | or something like that | 18:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | Ok....Device Number? | 18:32 |
| laga | 0? | 18:32 |
| laga | the first one i suppose ;) | 18:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | At "Frontend ID:" It is said, that no Information about the Card is available.....problem? | 18:33 |
| laga | probably.. does your card show up in dmesg? | 18:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | whats dmesg` | 18:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | ? | 18:34 |
| cva | dmesg | grep cx88 | 18:34 |
| laga | MythbuntuGuest67: it can show you the system logs.. you can open a terminal and type dmesg | grep cx88 | 18:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | How can I do this? I´m in the Mythbuntu Configuraion Menu... How do i open a console? | 18:36 |
| laga | you can bring up a start menu with a button in the left corner at the top of your screen | 18:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | Mmmmhh I cant do that. When i perform a Channelsearch it is said: Cant "talk to" card | 18:39 |
| laga | MythbuntuGuest67: well, you need to leave mythtv-setup in order to see the desktop | 18:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | Ok i have to restart the PC | 18:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | OK I´m at the Desktop | 18:45 |

| laga | yes | 18:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card? | 18:48 |
| rockhound | is there a way to prevent mythbackend going back to a different IP address on every update? | 18:49 |
| rockhound | some dpkg-reconfigure? | 18:49 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | When I perform the dmesg command the only thing i can find about a TV Card is: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card.... | 18:51 |
| laga | does /dvb/dvb/* exist? | 18:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | No, but my Hauppauge Card is regognized there with driver version loaded | 18:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | it is regognized as Win TV Nova S plus | 18:56 |
| laga | well, then it should work? | 18:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | hmmm now it is regognized in the setup | 19:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | then i have to choose Diseqc - > LNB? in Mythbuntu? | 19:06 |
| laga | yes | 19:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest67 | ok then i go to the next button Video source to check the EPG, right? | 19:08 |
| laga | no clue :) | 19:10 |
