[00:40] now MCC won't install packages [00:40] Hardy is the buggiest [00:40] Works well here. [00:41] try enabling xfs optimizations if you can? [00:41] it won't download xfsdump [00:41] it thinks other software managers are running [00:41] I don't use XFS [00:51] Hi, does anyone else have crackly audio issues with the latest release? In everything, not just live tv or playback. [00:55] used to [00:55] goto sound settings and change the defaults [00:56] from/to...? [00:57] from whatever it is now to anything that does nto give scratchy sound [00:57] or search the forums for the known issue and get your read on [00:57] whichever is easiest [00:57] super unhelpful. Done all that, thanks. [00:58] then it'd be fixed [00:58] don't cry because you can follow diretions [00:58] not [00:59] apparently not. You didn't really read my question right either. Never mind, you can sit here and act superior I'll try other stuff. [00:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/196287 [00:59] lazy [01:00] You scared them off already [01:00] yeah right [01:00] they bit the hand that fed them [01:01] and I still was proving the link [01:01] go figure [01:01] my main pc has always done that, through different iterations of mobos and speakers, I've always assumed it was something related to the case introducing interference [01:02] Can someone give me a hand getting lirc to work with a command IR mini? It hasn't worked wince the upgrade to 8.04. I can see input using mode2 -m -d /dev/lirc1, but can never see anything using irw. I've tried multiple hardware.conf and lircd.conf files. [01:02] while palying regular sound you heard crackling? [01:02] mostly music, and popping [01:02] frozenskunk1, I feel for you [01:03] others have this joy then? [01:03] I just have had issues before with lirc and my remote [01:03] but I guess mythbuntu got it covered now [01:03] even after a fresh kernel [01:04] but that was when I was running unstable [01:04] Hardy Alpha [01:04] I had gotten it working without too much trouble when I switched to the commandIR under 7.10, but when I upgraded to 8.04 it broke, and I STILL haven't gotten it working... [01:05] I've tried everything I can find and gone through all the steps on the commandIR troubleshooting section, but just can't get it going... [01:10] and he logs off like that? [01:26] Sorry, router crashed, did I miss any ideas on my lirc issue? [01:30] negative [01:30] any ideas on where I might look for answers, other than the usual places? I've scoured them pretty well over the last 3 months... [01:34] frozenskunk, using the new driver? [01:34] or the old one? [01:34] not sure, everything is up to date on update manager... [01:34] haw can a verify? === Tuv0k is now known as darthanubis [01:54] frozenskunk, well if you aren't intentionally using it, then you dont have it [01:54] i'm notsure how well the old style commandir is supported on it anyhow [01:54] so whats happening with yoru device though? [01:54] dont see anything on irw, so maybe try to re-record your lircd.conf for your remote [01:55] basically it hasn't worked since I upgraded to 8.04, i've tried several lircd.conf files from the internet which appear to be well supported, and I never had problems iwth that before ,I am using a hauppage A415 remote [01:56] I can see input using mode2 -m -d /dev/lirc0, but nothing in irw. [01:57] although since you mentioned the driver, I've been poking around looking at that, and when I check the syslog, I never see this: COMMANDIR USB device now attached to commandir0 [01:57] Receiving on #1 Transmitting on #1 2 3 4, which according to a web page I found, I should [02:14] well so do try to record with irrecord [02:14] see if the lircd.conf that it spits out is anybetter [02:15] ok, i haven't done that yet, let me give it a shot [02:25] any idea if I should chase down the syslog issue? [03:16] superm1: I tried to do an irrecord on a lircd.conf file I had downloaded to use with my remote, when i do 'irrecord testlirc' I get the following: [03:16] irrecrod: could not get file information for /dev/lirc [03:16] irrecord: default_init(): NO such file or directory [03:16] irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) [03:17] frozenskunk, you have to provide -d /dev/lirc0 [03:17] or similar [03:19] i just enabled network control but when trying to connect to the machine over telnet i am getting connection refused, i checked iptables and it seems to have no rules installed, is there something i could be missing? [03:20] superm1: that got me started, thanks! [03:22] sorry for the question, of cours ethe second i asked i solve dmy issue, i had changed the port and didnt realize i needed a reboot [03:23] ian_001, most people use SSH instead of telnet though [03:23] in an effort to be more secure [03:27] ill be honest, im somewhat new to network control, if i use ssh does it become ssh->telnet ? [03:28] or is ssh a replacement for telnet? [03:28] yup [03:28] its a secure replacement for telnet [03:28] telnet = not encrypted [03:29] ok, i wasnt sure if ssh was a wrapper around telnet [03:29] afik its a completely different project [03:31] ian_001: You mean network control in mythfrontend? If so you'll need to restart the frontend. [03:31] And you can't use ssh for that. [03:32] SSH is a replacement for telnet, but controlling mythfrontend via telnet is something different again. [03:32] sadly i just tried connecting remotely and was unable to do it [03:33] locally it works absolutely fine [03:33] You mean on the frontend `telnet localhost 6546` ? [03:34] oh didnt realize you were trying to do remote control of mythfrontend via telnet [03:34] defendguin, you pung earlier? [03:34] superm1: That's what I'm guessing [03:35] ok, i had left the local connection open, closing that allowed the remote connection, i assumed multiple connections were allowed [03:35] yeah i was reading some ubuntu forums and i saw a post of yours about how you were configuring your mouse and i thought you might be able to shed some light on something [03:38] let me find the post [03:41] superm1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217086&highlight=cm3000 [03:42] i was using the mouse driver in my xorg file but i switched to evdev after reading this post and it seems as though each time i try to use the tilt wheel or middle click x crashes [03:44] Option "WHEELRelativeAxisButtons" "4 5" can you use these options if you use the mouse driver? [03:53] superm1: I've tried to irrecord and it goes through the motions, but never saves any changes to the file I am running it on, I'm doing 'sudo irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 testlirc' and when I check test lirc after running there are no changes. [03:56] superm1: never mind, I just saw it was output as testlirc.conf [03:58] hello everyone [03:59] i was wondering how i can fix ntsc audio using a pinnacle pctv hd 800i because of an also issue i do not hear anything [03:59] i am currently using mythbuntu 8.04 [04:01] using the telnet control of mythtv is there a way to get a list of the songs or play a specific song? i see that i can jump to mythmusic and use the key command to change the song but i dont see a way to jump to a specific song [06:45] hi all, I just installed mythbuntu 8.04 and the install failed during install packages select. can I get back to that from the CLI now that it's booted up ? [07:39] doje, sure [07:40] you can look at the log in /var/log/syslog first though [07:40] and see if it tells you where went wrong [07:40] but the command is "ubiquity" [07:40] which should automatically choose the mythbuntu frontend [07:41] I have the log console here - "Couldn't find task mythbuntu-frontend" [07:42] superm1: I was using the alternate CD so I could PXE boot it - I also tried burning it but the result was the same [07:42] superm1: I'm buring the "Desktop" version now [07:57] superm1: there's nothing starting with "ub" in root or user paths - I'm going to try the other CD [07:58] superm1: I saved the /var/log directory and a dmesg if you want me to check for anything [14:57] from where is the x11vnc server started in 8.04? I need to change a option parameter [15:54] its started from the /usr/share/mythtv/session.sh i think [15:54] or at least some script /usr/share/mythtv [15:54] sebrock, ^ [16:21] whats the trick to getting the audio output louder? i have tried 2 sound cards and now have a sb live [16:33] ron_, you could try a couple things [16:33] first, have you increased the volume in alsamixer? [16:33] second, make sure mythtv volume is up [16:33] last you could increase the volume that mythtv records shows at [16:35] gregL, it's either in the recording profiles found in the frontend or it's tuner specific and found in mythtv-setup [16:36] default is 70 [16:36] which i've found is good, but some tv's don't have very good speakers [16:37] that only will increase the volume on the recordings though, so if you have trouble hearing dvd's too it wont help that [16:37] Ok yeah i seen that..My dvb card is always low for some reason... [16:38] Sometimes to the point that you really have to strain to hear... [16:38] oh [16:38] that you probably won't be able to fix [16:38] sorry, i always forget the disclaimer about preencoded content [16:39] eh, I'd look anyway though, just in case [16:39] I like the card, it's an air2pc and it work's well except for the sound. [16:42] Thanks... [17:08] superm1, thanks [18:42] superm1, sorry cant fint anything x11vnc in any script [18:54] nervermind I found it [18:55] /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh [18:56] how do you setup mythfilldatabase to grab only the channels found by the tuner [19:58] if I have a nova-t 500, why is it that when I have something due to record and I am watching tuner 1, with nothing happening on tuner 2, it doesn't automatically start recording on tuner 2, and instead takes over tuner 1 for recording and leaves tuner 2 doing nothing [20:53] Seeker`: there is an option "minimize live-tv collision" or some such, which will pick recordings from the beginning of available tuners, and live-tv from the end of available tuners (if the have the same channels) ... it is not perfect, and live-tv may pick a currently recording tuner if multirec is enabled and if the default channel is available within that mux. Someone else may explain better, because I always [20:53] record a show to avoid any surprises if more than one recording starts. [21:47] Seeker`, zabbadapp another solution that exists right next to that option is to allow live tv to move scheduled recordings to different tuners. [22:13] anyone here? [22:13] yes [22:14] hi! great! [22:14] can you help me with my mythbuntu setup? [22:14] what is the problem [22:15] got a new mboard today and try to set it up from the scratch. however, channelscan does not work (dvb-t germany ruhrgebiet) [22:16] ...it DID work with a former installation... [22:20] zabbadapp? still there or not interested? need more info? [22:24] sorry, was looking at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ7RkyBoBc ... [22:25] anyway, was that the channelscan from within mythtv? [22:26] yes [22:27] sry, dont have flash support, yet... [22:29] i tried to import a channels.conf but mythtv told me that it's not able to parse the file. [22:29] ok, have you tried just letting it scan the entier frequency range? it will find your channels, even if it take longer time [22:30] i had problems importing any kind of frequencies also and gave up ... until i realised i didn't need one [22:30] i'll try again, but i'm sure that i tried everything for about a thousand times... anyway... just a sec [22:34] got the german version installed. I tried sth like "entire scan of all known transponders" and it returns sth like "error adjusting transponder frequency" then the next dialogue box appears and does ... nothing... [22:34] else you can install "apt-get install dvb-utils" to use the command "scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-NameOfClosestTransmitter" ... you may get better error messages from the commandline [22:35] how can i find out about my closest transmitter? [22:35] it has a normal name ... tab to see all de-(something) [22:35] de-Hamburg or whatever [22:36] scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-Ruhrgebiet [22:36] using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' [22:36] main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 16 Device or resource busy [22:36] ok, you got mythtv running and it locks all .. [22:36] ok. mom [22:36] there is an option to have it releas a tuner if it not is in use [22:37] cant i just close mythtv? [22:37] yes .. that works too [22:38] scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/de-Ruhrgebiet [22:38] using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' [22:38] initial transponder 538000000 0 2 9 1 1 3 0 [22:38] initial transponder 586000000 0 2 9 1 1 3 0 [22:39] a working channel should give a line like this: "0x0000 0x0316: pmt_pid 0x0316 D -- SILVER (running, scrambled)" [22:40] ah! i think I know the problem, have you enabled the internal amplifier of the T-500 ? [22:40] ok. hmmm. how can i get this ;-) .... however, thanks for your help so far! [22:41] internal amplifier? i don't think so. never heard of it [22:41] had good reception(?) during scan (99%) [22:42] do you have a line "options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1" in the file /etc/modprobe.d/options ? [22:42] where should i look for this line? [22:42] less /etc/modprobe.d/options [22:43] not at all [22:43] shall i add? [22:44] yes, do that -- it can't get any worse .... lna = low noise amplifier (or something like that .. I have a T-500 too, and without that line it didn't work at all for me .. and it is a common knowledge for this card) [22:45] wow. didnt know that... how can i load the new options [22:45] by the way: Great to have a patient and nice helper online! THANK YOU SO MUCH! [22:46] i don't know, i would do the windows way (reboot) ... [22:46] ok, then I'll be off for a couple of minutes... cheers and cu later [22:47] do you have the T-500 firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.xxxx-generci/ also? [22:47] just a sec [22:49] called dvb-usb-dib0700-(something).fw .... dmesg | grep -i dvb will show if it is loaded (and what name your version of v4l expects it to be named) [22:50] i hae got that le. hoi am u th pceson oth crd [22:50] it should be ok, because i don't think you would have any dvb-device else [22:50] sorry, again [22:50] i have got that file. however i have the pci version [22:51] yes, but the T-500 has an usb-device built in to the pci card (really!) .. som the dvb-hardware is actually two usb-dongles put on a pci-card [22:52] ok?! wow... [22:52] confusing but nothing to care about .. it works, and was probably a lot cheaper/faster for Hauppage to manufacture [22:52] jack@mediencenter:/lib/firmware/2.6.24-19-generic$ dmesg | grep -i dvb [22:52] [ 42.488577] saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.

[23:01] http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_Antennen [23:02] just checked the plug again .. was fine [23:04] did the scan command say anything important at all? use the pastebin if needed: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/ [23:04] i'll try ... can i delete options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1 [23:05] yes, but i don't think it makes any difference, so you don't need to reboot right now [23:05] (since you dont have that module at all) [23:06] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d1ce49f1a [23:07] ok, so i'll throw it out again .. for the cleanliness :-) [23:09] yes, you should remove it... :-) i have no idea what could be wrong ... when I had a really bad directional antenna, i would get the channels of at least one mux (depending on how I pointed it), so I knew that my card wasn't completly dead ... but you get nothing :-( [23:10] i mean, i got the channels of one mux when doing scan ... i could never watch them because there were so many errors in the reception :-) ... bought a new antenna then [23:11] ??? Maybe something wrong with drivers or so? the ardware should be fine... This antenna is a lot better than an amplidied one I tried. [23:11] especially since you know it has worked before [23:12] i have to give up, maybe someone else can step up and resolve this? [23:12] yep. and the area i live in is only a couple of kilometres out of a major city. i had about 25 perfect programmes [23:13] however: thank you so much for your help!! [23:13] no problem, good luck [23:13] thx [23:13] anyone else any idea? [23:30] can anybody help? signal strenght: 99% ... [23:31] timeout scan no signal [23:40] is there a way to get xmltv to download only the listings for channels that can be found by scanning [23:45] Seeker`: during the configuration of xmltv, you should have answered "yes" only to channels you wanted, you can correct that by editing .mythtv/.xmltv so that channel=tv1.com becomes channel!tv1.com to disable a certain xmltv channel [23:46] is there a way of doing it automatically, so I dont have to go through the 250 or so channels [23:48] there is most certainly some way to automate that :-) but i don't think there is a ready solution for it [23:49] see it as a chance to flex those scripting skills a bit :D
