[03:21] <Bob24> helllo
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <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
[03:28] <hads> cckk: Did you install mythbuntu-control-centre
[03:29] <cckk> yes i did hads, thank you for responding :-)
[03:31] <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.
[03:34] <cckk> yes i checked both of those options just as it say on the setup on the help on the site,
[03:35] <hads> OK, have you been into the MythTV configuration tab and tried the "Test MySQL Connection" button?
[03:36] <cckk> yes that where my problem is it cant find or connect to the server
[03:37] <cckk> i stuck with all the defaults eg, port ip password
[03:41] <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
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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?
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <cckk> are you going to be on for a while hads?
[03:46] <hads> I'm always around but I'm at work so may not always respond.
[03:48] <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 :-)
[04:44] <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
[04:50] <cckk> LostinStGeorge: have you set you cd rom to be the first bootable in bios?
[04:54] <LostinStGeorge> yes
[05:21] <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?
[05:24] <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
[05:27] <hads> cckk: The T in that URL makes it look like a DVB-T card.
[05:27] <hads> You'd want DVB-C
[05:29] <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 :)
[05:32] <cmug> http://www.dvbshop.net/product_info.php/info/p144_SATELCO-EasyWatch-PCI-DVB-C--Basic-Edition-.html is supposedly better supported
[05:37] <hads> heh yeah cmug sorry.
[05:37] <cmug> np
[05:37] <hads> Why is the Satelco better?
[05:38] <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.
[05:39] <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
[05:40] <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  ?
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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.
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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.
[05:47] <cmug> yeah I thought the card does the decryption, and the card plugs to the cam and the cam plugs to the CI ;)
[05:48] <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?
[05:49] <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)
[05:50] <cmug> hads, ok
[11:54] <GyroTech> 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
[15:36] <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?
[15:41] <sling-shot> Should i scan for channels?
[17:37] <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?
[17:51] <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?
[17:52] <tgm4883_laptop> levander, packages get held back if they are trying to install new packages usually
[17:59] <Erhapp> Hello all
[18:00] <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?
[18:01] <tgm4883_laptop> Erhapp, are you doing this on your master backend or on a remote frontend?
[18:03] <Erhapp> remote frontend
[18:06] <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
[18:08] <Erhapp> tgm4883: ok... now how would ik manually mount this folder??? (I'm a kind of new to some of those filesystems things...)
[18:09] <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
[18:13] <Erhapp> ok, thanks
[18:14] <Erhapp> Is there anybody who can help mee mounting /var/lib/mythtv/pictures to my remote frontend???
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <cva> the mythtv: indicates the hostname of my mythtv box, you;ll probably want to change it to the IP of your mythtvbackend system
[18:19] <MythbuntuGuest67> Hello.
[18:19] <MythbuntuGuest67> I´ve got a question about Mythbuntu
[18:20] <MythbuntuGuest67> Can i ask?
[18:24] <laga> sure.
[18:29] <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?
[18:31] <MythbuntuGuest67> Iß m just in the first Installation of Mythbuntu
[18:31] <MythbuntuGuest67> I choose TV Cards (I use the German Version)
[18:32] <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 ;)
[18:33] <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?
[18:34] <MythbuntuGuest67> whats dmesg`
[18:34] <MythbuntuGuest67> ?
[18:34] <cva> dmesg | grep cx88
[18:35] <laga> MythbuntuGuest67: it can show you the system logs.. you can open a terminal and type dmesg | grep cx88
[18:36] <MythbuntuGuest67> How can I do this?  I´m in the Mythbuntu Configuraion Menu...  How do i open a console?
[18:37] <laga> you can bring up a start menu with a button in the left corner at the top of your screen
[18:39] <MythbuntuGuest67> Mmmmhh  I cant do that.  When i perform a Channelsearch it is said: Cant "talk to" card
[18:40] <laga> MythbuntuGuest67: well, you need to leave mythtv-setup in order to see the desktop
[18:42] <MythbuntuGuest67> Ok i have to restart the PC
[18:45] <MythbuntuGuest67> OK I´m at the Desktop
[18:45] <MythbuntuGuest67> Upper Left Button...
[18:46] <MythbuntuGuest67> Terminal?
[18:48] <laga> yes
[18:48] <MythbuntuGuest67> cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card?
[18:49] <rockhound> is there a way to prevent mythbackend going back to a different IP address on every update?
[18:49] <rockhound> some dpkg-reconfigure?
[18:51] <MythbuntuGuest67> When I perform the dmesg command the only thing i can find about a TV Card is: cx2388x based DVB/ATSC Card....
[18:52] <laga> does /dvb/dvb/* exist?
[18:56] <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
[18:58] <laga> well, then it should work?
[19:05] <MythbuntuGuest67> hmmm now it is regognized in the setup
[19:06] <MythbuntuGuest67> then i have to choose Diseqc - > LNB? in Mythbuntu?
[19:06] <laga> yes
[19:08] <MythbuntuGuest67> ok then i go to the next button Video source to check the EPG, right?
[19:10] <laga> no clue :)
[20:33] <levander> Am I the only one who isn't getting any guide data in mythweb, but it works fine through mythfrontend?
