=== tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [03:21] helllo [03:22] 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 [03:23] 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 [03:28] cckk: Did you install mythbuntu-control-centre [03:29] yes i did hads, thank you for responding :-) [03:31] 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] As well as frontend. [03:34] yes i checked both of those options just as it say on the setup on the help on the site, [03:35] OK, have you been into the MythTV configuration tab and tried the "Test MySQL Connection" button? [03:36] yes that where my problem is it cant find or connect to the server [03:37] i stuck with all the defaults eg, port ip password [03:41] 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] It may be best to lurk around and wait for someone who can assist you more. [03:41] heres a little on my MMC (Sytem Roles) primary back end/ frontend/ubuntu desktop [03:41] ok hads thank you so much [03:42] 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 [03:43] And if it's a standalone machine then you'll want to use localhost for the MySQL server. [03:43] all those setting were filled in by default oin the instalation [03:43] 127.0.0.1 right? [03:44] 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. [03:45] are you going to be on for a while hads? [03:46] I'm always around but I'm at work so may not always respond. [03:48] 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 :-) [04:44] 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 [04:50] LostinStGeorge: have you set you cd rom to be the first bootable in bios? [04:54] yes [05:21] 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? [05:24] "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 [05:27] cckk: The T in that URL makes it look like a DVB-T card. [05:27] You'd want DVB-C [05:29] 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] i'm not cckk though :) [05:32] http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p144_SATELCO-EasyWatch-PCI-DVB-C--Basic-Edition-.html is supposedly better supported [05:37] heh yeah cmug sorry. [05:37] np [05:37] Why is the Satelco better? [05:38] Oh, ...supported - long day. [05:38] its a bit cheaper and has a output aswell and the forums say its better supported out of the box [05:38] but the CI modules for the Satelco are more expensive [05:38] We've sold loads of TechnotrendS1401/S1500/T1500 and they work fine out of the box. [05:39] The C1500 should be the same [05:39] *should* [05:39] 1500 yes, but 1501 is a different chipset [05:39] the one in my link is a 1501 [05:40] I'll just stop talking, obviously I can't read today :) [05:40] I'm glad somebody is replying [05:40] what timezone are you in, hads ? [05:41] +12 [05:41] 16:41 currently [05:41] where the heck is that, past Japan somewhere [05:41] hehe, New Zealand [05:41] Cool [05:41] I always wanted to visit :) [05:41] I hear you get strawberries 9 months out of 12 [05:42] It sure is a nice place (well I think so). [05:42] I bet [05:42] Hmm, dunno about the strawberries. I suppose I can normally get them all year so maybe :) [05:42] 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 [05:43] I envy you :) [05:43] I'm not overly familiar with CI as we don't have cable or de-cryptable satelitte here. [05:44] So don't know if I can be much help sorry. [05:44] np [05:44] I wonder, if I buy a CI module, do I need to buy a CAM module separately that will fit to the CI module [05:45] I'm so lost ;) So far I have just been running my 2 -T cards for freetv [05:45] Yeah, the CAM is a separate thing dependant on the provider. [05:45] now I move house, and I am afraid that they require the card for even freetv [05:45] oh so even the CAM modules are different [05:46] 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. [05:47] yeah I thought the card does the decryption, and the card plugs to the cam and the cam plugs to the CI ;) [05:48] or is the CAM the same thing as the card [05:48] the pictures don't really tell me and its 7:48am so I am also unable to read ,) [05:48] are there any tuner cards that can record in HD that are supported via kernel drivers? [05:49] right now I've got a hauppauge MCE-150 that works well, but i want HD [05:49] 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] (AFAIK) [05:50] hads, ok [11:54] Hi, I am having issues setting up the digital output for my MSI Media Live machine - I can't get digital output at all, the device shows in alsamixer and is unmuted === GyroTechUK is now known as GyroTech [15:36] 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? [15:41] Should i scan for channels? [17:37] 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? [17:51] 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? [17:52] levander, packages get held back if they are trying to install new packages usually [17:59] Hello all [18:00] 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] Am I missing something here? [18:01] Erhapp, are you doing this on your master backend or on a remote frontend? [18:03] remote frontend [18:06] 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 [18:08] tgm4883: ok... now how would ik manually mount this folder??? (I'm a kind of new to some of those filesystems things...) [18:09] 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 [18:13] ok, thanks [18:14] Is there anybody who can help mee mounting /var/lib/mythtv/pictures to my remote frontend??? [18:17] you can add something like this to your /etc/fstab [18:17] mythtv:/var/lib/mythtv/pictures /var/lib/mythtv/pictures nfs hard,intr,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0 [18:18] the mythtv: indicates the hostname of my mythtv box, you;ll probably want to change it to the IP of your mythtvbackend system [18:19] Hello. [18:19] I´ve got a question about Mythbuntu [18:20] Can i ask? [18:24] sure. [18:29] I want to set up my Hauppauge Nova S Plus TV Card, but I think it is not recognized [18:29] what makes you think that? [18:31] Iß m just in the first Installation of Mythbuntu [18:31] I choose TV Cards (I use the German Version) [18:32] What kind of Card Type do i have to choose for DVBs? [18:32] dtv 3.x [18:32] or something like that [18:32] Ok....Device Number? [18:32] 0? [18:32] the first one i suppose ;) [18:33] At "Frontend ID:" It is said, that no Information about the Card is available.....problem? [18:33] probably.. does your card show up in dmesg? [18:34] whats dmesg` [18:34] ? [18:34] dmesg | grep cx88 [18:35] MythbuntuGuest67: it can show you the system logs.. you can open a terminal and type dmesg | grep cx88 [18:36] How can I do this? I´m in the Mythbuntu Configuraion Menu... How do i open a console? [18:37] you can bring up a start menu with a button in the left corner at the top of your screen [18:39] Mmmmhh I cant do that. When i perform a Channelsearch it is said: Cant "talk to" card [18:40] MythbuntuGuest67: well, you need to leave mythtv-setup in order to see the desktop [18:42] Ok i have to restart the PC [18:45] OK I´m at the Desktop [18:45] Upper Left Button... [18:46] Terminal? [18:48] yes [18:48] cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card? [18:49] is there a way to prevent mythbackend going back to a different IP address on every update? [18:49] some dpkg-reconfigure? [18:51] When I perform the dmesg command the only thing i can find about a TV Card is: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card.... [18:52] does /dvb/dvb/* exist? [18:56] No, but my Hauppauge Card is regognized there with driver version loaded [18:56] it is regognized as Win TV Nova S plus [18:58] well, then it should work? [19:05] hmmm now it is regognized in the setup [19:06] then i have to choose Diseqc - > LNB? in Mythbuntu? [19:06] yes [19:08] ok then i go to the next button Video source to check the EPG, right? [19:10] no clue :) === CRXLNX is now known as CRXLNAWAY [20:33] Am I the only one who isn't getting any guide data in mythweb, but it works fine through mythfrontend?
