dmzanyone have any thoughts on where i set the output "decoder" type (to support hw mpg decoder in frontend)?01:26
JorophoseUhh, this is more of a MythTV question than anything else, but there are no mythtv IRC channels, so... My cable company gave me a cablebox for digital TV, because we're affected by the analog TV shutdown as well... According to the mythtv FAQ, for digital channels with digital cable, you need the box, but it says you need an analog card; is it just that the signal is transfered as analog in the end? If not, 01:58
JorophoseATSC card, assuming that's the digital tuner?01:58
hadsJorophose: There is a mythtv channel - #mythtv-users02:01
Jorophoseon Freenode NA? It's not coming up for me =/02:01
Jorophoseregardless, I think I solved my own problem; the tuner card I'm looking at is analog only, so if the cablebox outputs to analog, all the better I guess...02:02
hadsOK then.02:02
SHADOW__X1hello i am trying to run mysqldump but i am having an issue is it different for mybuntu02:03
hadsWhat's the issue?02:03
SHADOW__X1error 104502:03
SHADOW__X1access dennied02:04
hadsSo you're not using correct authentication credentials.02:04
SHADOW__X1which ok so i changed the -u command to --user and -p to --password=02:04
SHADOW__X1yeah well i am pulling it from the front end and its not working02:04
SHADOW__X1unless one char isnt right02:04
hadscat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt02:04
hadsThe credentials are in there.02:05
SHADOW__X1now i get a 1044 error and i was wrong on the pass the letter was different then it appeared02:11
SHADOW__X1nvm02:12
SHADOW__X1my bad i fixed it02:12
SHADOW__X1thanks hads02:12
hadsnp02:15
dmzquestion...where does mythbuntu save it's X settings? /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't show the driver or resolution settings02:15
hadsX now does magic stuff to figure that out automatically.02:16
dmzwell that magic stuff isn't working :)02:16
dmzi'm running on a via evia board02:16
hadsYou can override it by putting things in xorg.conf02:16
SHADOW__X1hey hads where are recordings saved again02:16
hadsSHADOW__X1: Whereever you setup02:16
dmzand the only video playback that works is when i use mplayer, live tv, recordings and non-mplayer recordings all cause frontend to die & it goes back to gdm02:17
SHADOW__X1by default using mythbuntu02:17
hadsNot sure02:17
dmzthe little preview window works in the recordings list, but whenever i choose a recording frontned dies and drops back to gdm02:17
dmzi've turned on "-v most" for the log (btw /var/log/mythtv isn't created w/frontend only so frontend logs are not created by default)02:18
SHADOW__X1hads va/lib/mythtv02:19
dmzbut the last message in the frontend log is that it's XvMC is the VideoOutputXV, then it starts to read/write then borks X :(02:19
dmzmplayer works great, but i can't use that for my recordings02:20
dmzX appears to be using XvMC drivers, so this makes no sense02:20
superm1kirkland, pong02:21
dmzalso i've modified the gdm config (both /etc/gdm/gdm.conf & /etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf) and changed GdmXserverTimeout to be 10 instead of 30 and whenever it dies it still waits 30 seconds to autologon02:22
dmzoh well guess i can try another distro for my frontend if it doesn't work on via boards, should i try mythbuntu 7 before i give up on mythbuntu 8?02:23
dmzno thoughts?02:27
dmzok i think it's the XvMC drivers in mythbuntu, i just retested with minimyth and it works "great"02:38
dmzok mythbuntu does not work on via boards02:44
MythbuntuGuest31booting diskless frontend gives the following 2 errors;  PXE-T02 : Forbidden Directory, PCE-E3C: TFTP error - access violation02:51
MythbuntuGuest31any ideas,  thanks02:56
MythbuntuGuest37I've got 8.04.1 running and it records just fine.... but the playback is really bad... Xine plays the recordings just fine. What did I do wrong?03:11
SHADOW__X1hey hads how do i restore the database03:12
MythbuntuGuest37googling "restoring database mythtv" turned up03:16
MythbuntuGuest37mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg -c > mythtv_backup.sql03:16
SHADOW__X1thats backing up03:16
MythbuntuGuest31got past that by editing /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf, now I see the mythbuntu boot screen the transtions to a fast blink cursor03:16
MythbuntuGuest37right03:18
MythbuntuGuest37there a bunch more....03:18
MythbuntuGuest37here's the link:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38451103:18
MythbuntuGuest31looks like it about to start x but instead it dies on a fast blink _03:19
MythbuntuGuest31how can I debug the front end at this point03:20
MythbuntuGuest37The playback in mythtv stutters horribly... so far I've tried changing in the config to a lower cpu setting and that helped some... but it played using 7.10 just fine and xine does too...03:23
MythbuntuGuest31fast blink transitioned to ; Busy box cv1.1.3 (Debien 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12)built-in shell (ash)  (initramfs)_03:29
MythbuntuGuest37I think I have to make my default player xine...03:31
MythbuntuGuest37there appears to be no way to change the which player should playback the 'recordings'.  Please correct me..03:58
rhpot1991it shouldn't be03:59

MythbuntuGuest37could the proprietary ATI drivers be a problem with mythtv's internal player?04:36
superm1depends on the type of problem04:42
superm1MythbuntuGuest37, ^04:42
dojehi, where should I put a bootup script in ubuntu ?  in suse I would put things in /etc/init.d/boot.local to avoid making an rc script.04:53
DurtDigglerwhat would be the best possible card I could get for mythtv05:04
superm1doje, depends05:14
superm1doje, if you need something at "login"05:14
superm1eg with a gui05:14
superm1then it will be part of your profile05:14
superm1if its adding a small action /etc/rc.local is a good place to modify05:14
dojesuperm1: someone told me in #ubuntu - /etc/rs.local was what I was looking for.05:14
superm1rc.local is what they mean05:15
dojesuperm1: my typo05:15
dojethanks05:15
superm1no prob05:15
superm1DurtDiggler, that's a pretty big opinionated question05:15
superm1and depends a lot on your locale, your goals05:15
superm1and your budget05:15
DurtDigglerI know that05:15
DurtDigglerbut there can still be some obvious answers05:16
superm1you are probably best summarizing the things i just mentioned in a form post05:16
superm1and having people respond to that05:16
dojesuperm1: is there any kind of GUI for configing LCD proc yet ?05:16
superm1doje, dont believe so05:16
dojesuperm1: who should I talk to if I wanted to work on such a thing ?05:17
superm1doje, well you can talk to the lcdproc authors05:17
superm1and see if one was in process already05:17
dojesuperm1: I guess I was thinking in terms of the mythbuntu control panel - are those panels authored by app authors ?05:18
superm1doje, ah if you'd like to add a panel to MCC, we are quite open to that05:18
superm1doje, the app is in the process of being overhauled to allow those things to be added on in separate packages05:18
dojesuperm1: cool. it would be nice to add some gui support for that i think05:18
superm1laga, is demonolithicizing it right now05:18
superm1and yes, that is a word starting now05:19
superm1doje, so you can either start and add the panel now, or wait a few weeks for the demonolithization to complete05:19
superm1and then there will be a good API for adding additional plugins without breaking or modifying existing things05:20
dojesuperm1: "demonolithization" hehe05:20
dojesuperm1: I think I'd be interested in learning what the new way of doing things will be05:20
superm1doje, okay well if you come back in a few weeks, we'd be glad to guide you into writing the first non monolithic plugin for it05:22
dojesuperm1:  Sweet!05:22
dojesuperm1: to boldly go...05:23
kirklandsuperm1: sorry, was out at dinner late tonight.  was just pinging about my patches to bug #251325 and bug #25133006:07
superm1kirkland, ah no problem.  i commented on one of those bugs, and someone else commented on the other06:07
superm1i was wondering about if those lsb functions are in < intrepid too06:07
* kirkland checks his mail now06:07
kirklandsuperm1: no, they're not06:08
superm1kirkland, any chances of a backport?06:08
kirklandsuperm1: well, it's really compact06:08
kirklandsuperm1: i'll bring it up in our next meeting06:08
superm1kirkland, okay great.  backportability is an important thing for myth folk06:08
kirklandsuperm1: yeah, good point06:09
superm1kirkland, they dont seem to want to jump to ubuntu+1 crack but just want to update myth sometimes06:09
kirklandsuperm1: well, one option would be to just drag-n-drop the status_of_proc() function itself into the downlevel myth init scripts06:09
kirklandsuperm1: that's what I did on my local setup :-)06:09
superm1kirkland, yeah that's a possible solution too, albeit a bit ugly06:09
kirklandsuperm1: ugly, agreed.06:10
superm1especially if a real backport can be done by the lsb stuff06:10
kirklandsuperm1: let me talk to slangasek06:10
superm1okay sounds good06:10
kirklandsuperm1: or even kees might have an opinion06:10
kirklandsuperm1: can you take the patch for intrepid going forward?06:10
kirklandsuperm1: or do you want to wait on the backport question?06:10
superm1lets hold off on the backport question06:10
superm1and then we'll see the right way to go06:10
kirklandsuperm1: k06:10
kirklandsuperm1: you know, backporting might be possible now that Debian took the patches06:11
superm1as for mythtv-status, was that the maintainer, Andrew who responded?06:11
kirklandlemme go read that one now06:11
kirklandsuperm1: okay he has a point on the mythtv-status bit06:13
kirklandlooking more closely at the script06:13
superm1yeah06:15
kirklandsuperm1: okay, i marked that one invalid and retracted my patch06:16

dmandellI've got an interesting/weird problem with the CPU usage of mythfrontend in Mythbuntu... it's a little bit long but I'll try to explain it as best I can.18:32
dmandellI started using Ubuntu for MythTV with Feisty, and have been upgrading regularly with each release... but it's not really a "mythbuntu" box, it's ubuntu with all of the Myth stuff added.18:33
dmandellI recently decided I wanted to increase the hard drive space on my machine and add mirroring, so I bought two 1tb drives and installed Mythbuntu using the alt install disk.  Other than the hard drives, all of the other hardware is the same.18:34
dmandellAfter the installation completed I installed the same version of the NVidia driver I was using on the old hard drive, copied xorg.conf from the old machine, backed up mythconverg from the old hard drive and restored it on the new hard drive.18:36
dmandellEverything works really well, but whereas before mythfrontend used between 35-50% of one CPU for HD playback, now it uses between 80 and 100.18:36
dmandellWith the same xorg.conf, nvidia drivers, and playback settings in Mythtv, I'm not sure what else to do... anybody have any idea of what would cause the vastly different cpu utilization?18:37
dmandellHardware for the machine (other than the hard drives): M2NPV-VM mb with onboard nvidia 6150, AMD x2 4600+ dual core cpu, 2gb memory.18:38
tgm4883_laptopdmandell, did you use xvmc on the previous system?20:08
darthanubisdoes mythzmserver start itself after install or do I have to make it a service?20:40
sebrockis screensaver after 10 minutes a feature or a bug...20:44
dmandelltgm4883:  I did not, no.20:48
dmandelltgm4883_laptop: no20:48
tgm4883_laptopdmandell, and you used MythTV .21 before?20:49
tgm4883_laptopdarthanubis, IIRC mythzmserver should start itself20:49
tgm4883_laptopdarthanubis, I haven't played with it all that much recently though20:49
tgm4883_laptopsebrock, during playback, or at the menu screen?20:50

TheBlasphemeron a user tightvnc server it seems fine21:12
TheBlasphemerOdd, but manageable21:13
TheBlasphemerMight be related to everything being oddly colored on the system-wide VNC :/21:13
dmandelltgm4883_laptop: Yes, I was using .21 before.22:22
dmandellAll of the myth packages are what's included in hardy.22:22
