[00:42] <Zinn> superm1: Bug 229949 in mythbuntu "guide slow and unresponsive" [Low, Confirmed] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/229949
[01:03] <devsforev> Good evening everyone. I was curious as to how I change what display mythtv starts on? Currently it's running on :0, but I need it to start on :1. Any thoughts?
[01:16] <NTolerance> try putting DISPLAY=:0 in front of your mythfrontend command
[01:16] <NTolerance> DISPLAY=:0 mythfrontend --options-here
[01:17] <NTolerance> errr
[01:17] <NTolerance> DISPLAY=:1 mythfrontend --options-here
[01:18] <devsforev> excellent, thanks! that works great. Do you happen to know what script mythfrontend is called from during login when auto-login is enabled?
[01:23] <devsforev> nvm, i think i found it
[01:23] <devsforev> thanks for your help
[01:44] <NTolerance> sweet
[02:24] <Cardboardjesus> is somebody able to assist me with tuning of satellite channels? i'm a moron
[02:56] <thatdood> i can try
[03:07] <squish102> any1 after upgrading having problems with remotes?
[04:08] <javatexan> hey guys I am trying to setup a new frontend machine and it is asking me for the mythconverg information.  I can ssh to the mythbackend box and look directly at the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt file.  I copy/pasted the password right out of the file.  For the HostName I used the machine's IP address.  But it says the connection failed.  The only thing I can think of is in the mysql.txt, DBHostName=localhost on the BE box.  Will this caus
[04:10] <DogBoy> yea it needs to be set to accept connections from other than localhost
[04:10] <DogBoy> mysql does
[04:10] <javatexan> do I change that in the mysql.txt and reboot or what?
[04:14] <tgm4883_laptop> javatexan, enable the mysql service in MCC on the master backend
[04:15] <tgm4883_laptop> then reboot
[04:19] <javatexan> tgm4883_laptop: I love mythbuntu :)
[04:19] <tgm4883_laptop> um
[04:19] <tgm4883_laptop> mythbuntu loves you too ;)
[04:19] <javatexan> LOL
[04:19] <javatexan> my TIVO likes it now too....
[04:20] <javatexan> they are playing nicely together
[05:06] <petriborg> quick stupid question for people - new to mythtv and i was watching a show, and I wanted to make the show to be saved, in one of the menus i found "preserve this episode" but i wasn't sure when it was enabled
[05:06] <petriborg> how do i tell?
[05:07] <petriborg> if i hit space it becomes darker and says "do not preserve this episode" so i guess this is disabling that? by default it seemed to be "preserve this episode"
[06:02] <Cardboardjesus> which capture card type should i be selecting in the backend setup for a happauge nov-s plus card? the manual says "mpeg-2 encorder card (pvr-x50, pvr-500) for all happauge cards. but it says "failed to open" underneith. anybody struck this before?
[06:07] <foxbuntu> Cardboardjesus, I think the NOVA-S is a DVB card IIRC
[06:09] <Cardboardjesus> so i use what?, the cardtype "dvb dtv capture card v3.x" instead?
[08:30] <Belial6_> I am having trouble with my CommandIR II.  It shows the green light after I boot mythbuntu, but the first remote control button I press causes it to go red.  Any ideas?
[08:31] <Belial6_> I did notice in dmesg that I get 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = 10' before the first press, and 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = -32' after.  This is on two different computer systems.
[11:04] <MythbuntuGuest46> Anyone know how to get mythtv back up and running after upgrading to latest version of mythbuntu?
[11:30] <MythbuntuGuest36> Anyone here know how to get a soundcard workign?
[11:43] <laga> you need to ask more specific questions
[11:45] <MythbuntuGuest36> Well I have a Turtle Beach Soundcard that used to work and doesn't anymore.
[11:53] <laga> well, does it show up in dmesg?
[11:55] <MythbuntuGuest36> Never knew what that was, but yes it shows up...Although it says fails with error -5
[11:55] <MythbuntuGuest36> That could be because I'm trying to install a driver for it
[11:55] <laga> ugh :(
[11:56] <laga> "it doesn't work" and "i'm messing with my kernel to get it working" are different things ;)
[11:57] <MythbuntuGuest36> I don't know what messing with kernal means I was trying to follow directions from this site I found. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[12:01] <MythbuntuGuest36> Does the failed with error -5 mean I just need a new sound card
[12:04] <MythbuntuGuest36> Oh well I'll just get a new sound card see if that works...have a good day
[14:49] <versus> hi is there a way to change the boot splash image?
[14:53] <NTolerance> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplash
[14:53] <versus> thx
[14:53] <NTolerance> np
[14:56] <versus> does someone use a mythbuntu xen backend? when someone does, did you make an howto?
[14:56] <NTolerance> you mean running the backend in a virtual machine?
[15:47] <versus> yes
[16:48] <mrAshley> When trying to transmit from hauppage 150 to dct2000 i get this error: lirc_pvr150: failed to get data for code 0, key 9036 -- check lircd.conf entries
[16:49] <mrAshley> i've googled it, but there doesn't seem to be much regarding this. :-/
[17:43] <Shadow__X> hello everyone
[17:46] <mrAshley> Hey Shadow. :)
[17:49] <NTolerance> Shadow__X: i did my 720p MKV test
[17:49] <NTolerance> 30-40% CPU usage on one core
[17:49] <Shadow__X> not bad
[17:49] <Shadow__X> i guess iw as way off
[17:49] <Shadow__X> :)
[17:49] <Shadow__X> gladfully so
[17:49] <NTolerance> AFAIK deocding MPEG2 should be less CPU intensive, so playback of recorded HD shows in mythtv should be easy
[17:50] <Shadow__X> mhm
[17:51] <NTolerance> now 1080p MKV might be a different story
[17:51] <NTolerance> but i wonder....sine my TV is "only" 720P, does it still decode the whole stream or do I save some CPU because i'm running at a smaller resolution?
[17:54] <Shadow__X> afaik it will just run it at 720p
[17:54] <Shadow__X> and NTolerance why would you buy a tv that only does 720p :(
[17:55] <mrAshley> Shadow__X: got a minute or three?
[17:55] <NTolerance> i play games, games run at 720p
[17:56] <NTolerance> very little 1080p content out there other than blu-ray
[17:56] <Shadow__X> hmm yeah but movies dont
[17:56] <NTolerance> it's good enough for me, i don't buy into the 1080p hype
[17:56] <Shadow__X> what system
[17:56] <NTolerance> all of them
[17:56] <NTolerance> wii/360/ps3
[17:56] <Shadow__X> mrAshley, i saw the issue your having
[17:56] <Shadow__X> dont know how to fix that
[17:57] <mrAshley> my ps3 runs at 1080p quite nicely. :)
[17:57] <NTolerance> 95% of ps3 games do not run at 1080p
[17:57] <Shadow__X> NTolerance, if you get the small games that are like 10 dollars then run at 1080p on ps3 and 360
[17:57] <Shadow__X> :D
[17:57] <NTolerance> hmm yeah, not worth the extra 300-400 dollars for 1080p
[17:57] <mrAshley> Shadow__X: kthx. :)
[17:58] <NTolerance> i really love this whole thing though, go to a deal site like fatwallet, someone finds a good deal on a 720P TV
[17:58] <NTolerance> half the replies are like "omg it's only 720p, what's wrong with you!!!!"
[17:58] <Shadow__X> heh
[17:58] <Shadow__X> well i mean if i could get a tv cheap enough i would get 720-
[17:58] <Shadow__X> p
[17:59] <NTolerance> mine is a 40" and it's debatable whether you get the benefits of higher resolution at that screen size
[18:01] <Shadow__X> hmm it depends how close or far away you are
[18:01] <Shadow__X> and your eyes
[18:01] <NTolerance> exactly, not worth $400
[18:02] <NTolerance> $400 = PS3
[18:02] <NTolerance> new mythbox
[18:02] <NTolerance> savings account
[18:02] <NTolerance> who knows
[18:02] <NTolerance> beer?
[18:03] <Shadow__X> hmm
[18:03] <Shadow__X> i see the point
[18:03] <mrAshley> Shadow__X: try this one then. I've got ubuntu8.04 and i just want to use and ir blaster.. i've configured the mythbuntu control centre.. should it just work, or should i have to dl firmware?  any idea?
[18:03] <Shadow__X> i might get a 24 inch montior that has pip and use that for tv and mon
[18:03] <mrAshley> and = an
[18:04] <Shadow__X> mrAshley, you have to tell mytht backend to use it
[18:04] <Shadow__X> instructions are on the wiki
[18:04] <mrAshley> which wiki?
[18:04] <Shadow__X> i havnt used ir personlaly
[18:04] <Shadow__X> mythtv.org
[18:04] <Shadow__X> goto wiki there
[18:04] <Shadow__X> does no one read anymore
[18:04] <Shadow__X> :(
[18:04] <mrAshley> I've done 3 hours of reading. :P
[18:05] <Shadow__X> good to hear
[18:05] <Shadow__X> now read more
[18:05] <Shadow__X> :D
[18:05] <Shadow__X> P
[18:05] <mrAshley> >-C
[18:06] <squish102> any1 else figting with lirc after upgrading to 8.04?
[18:07]  * mrAshley is.
[18:07] <squish102> it was working just fine before upgrade but now i have nfc what broke
[18:07] <squish102> or how to fix it
[18:07] <mrAshley> squish102: Do you have a dmesg error?
[18:07] <squish102> and ive been reading for THREE weeks ;)
[18:08] <squish102> mrAshley i even have lircd running in debug mode and still cannot figure out the problem
[18:08] <mrAshley> do you have any error messages?
[18:09] <NTolerance> squish102: what remote do you have?
[18:09] <squish102> yes, but i don't know why i have error messages
[18:09] <mrAshley> what error message are you getting - and from where?
[18:09] <NTolerance> does irw give any output if you press buttons?
[18:09] <squish102> i have a firefly mini and initial setup was following wiki page
[18:10] <NTolerance> any of you guys tried the x11vnc service in mythbuntu control center, it doesn't work for me
[18:10] <NTolerance> not familiar with firefly mini =\
[18:10] <Shadow__X> it works for me
[18:10] <Shadow__X> the vnc thing
[18:10] <NTolerance> strange, no x11vnc process was spawned when i tried it
[18:10] <NTolerance> did you install it a long time ago or recently?
[18:11] <squish102> NTolerance nothing through irw
[18:11] <NTolerance> dang
[18:11] <NTolerance> if you restart lirc does it give any errors?
[18:11] <NTolerance> what about dmesg ?
[18:11] <squish102> it is like it does not match the IR receiver to the lircd.conf remote
[18:11] <Shadow__X> NTolerance, recently
[18:11] <Shadow__X> install on mythtbuntu 8.04.1
[18:11] <NTolerance> hmm, maybe i'm crazy, i had vino server running a few mins before i tried x11vnc
[18:12] <Shadow__X> hmm
[18:12] <Shadow__X> maybe
[18:12] <squish102> i will be back when i am in the room with the remote ;)
[18:12] <NTolerance> either way, i did the long and hard manual install, documented here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5548895&postcount=58
[18:12] <squish102> NTolerance i just run vncserver from the command line
[18:13] <NTolerance> that's no good for reboots
[18:13] <squish102> and change the xstartup, and hit it on port :2
[18:13] <squish102> NTolerance yip, i have a couple use services that i put in rc.local
[18:13] <NTolerance> my mythbox is a true server, serving up all kinds of crap, everything needs to run as a service for me
[18:13] <squish102> but that is my hack
[18:14] <squish102> i think i resorted to doing it that way, because mine didnt work
[18:14] <squish102> the proper way
[18:15] <Shadow__X> NTolerance, for a true server i would want vnc to give me a login screen and login to another session
[18:15] <Shadow__X> not sharing whats on the screen
[18:15] <squish102> ^^ that is what mine does
[18:16] <Shadow__X> i think sson i am going to need to get a hdvr :(
[18:16] <Shadow__X> squish102, did you follow a tut
[18:16] <squish102> nope, maybe once i fix the other 10 things wrong, i will get back to vnc
[18:17] <Shadow__X> squish102, howd you set it up
[18:17] <squish102> apt-get install vnc4server and then vncserver ;)
[18:17] <NTolerance> Shadow__X: to get into semantics, a true server wouldn't even have a GUI
[18:17] <NTolerance> but a true myth server should just give you access to what ever is on the TV
[18:17] <NTolerance> :D
[18:18] <squish102> NTolerance are you saying windows 2008 server is not a true server ;)
[18:18] <NTolerance> but yeah, a terminal server would give you an X login screen
[18:18] <NTolerance> not as true as a linux box :D
[18:18] <NTolerance> but hey, i love terminal server
[18:18] <squish102> NTolerance i thought your server was only a backend?
[18:18] <NTolerance> can't beat RDP, wish we had something like it on linux
[18:18] <NTolerance> it's everything
[18:19] <NTolerance> backend, frontend, upnp server, ampache, mpd, web, mysql, samba, nfs, backup storage, etc
[18:19] <squish102> well mine is an everything, but i dont want to interupt my tv viewing with a vnc session?
[18:20] <squish102> NTolerance i will take that, and double it :P (game server, ventrilo server, torrent server etc etc)
[18:21] <NTolerance> game server from home?
[18:21] <NTolerance> you got FIOS or something?
[18:22] <NTolerance> i like VNC on display zero because i have my laptop on a table in front of the TV, so i can put a web browser/youtube on the TV and control it from my laptop, no need to haul out the extra keyboard/mouse
[18:22] <Shadow__X> hmm i think the next server i build will be an all in one box
[18:22] <Shadow__X> thinking of quad core with like 4 gigs of ram
[18:24] <NTolerance> vino is so slow though, i'm running it through a gigabit lan and it's like i'm on a modem
[18:30] <NTolerance> all in one box?
[18:31] <Shadow__X> mythtvback/frontend webserver mysql server fs and whatever else i can think of
[18:31] <Shadow__X> i need a new server
[18:32] <NTolerance> you can be cool like me
[18:32] <NTolerance> but yeah, i like the mythtv-server workhorse, it keeps my windows machine clean
[18:32] <NTolerance> before i'd run the upnp and filesharing and other crap there
[18:32] <Shadow__X> hmm yeah
[18:32] <Shadow__X> i was thinking of starting with a dual core
[18:32] <NTolerance> now it's just strictly for games because the mythbox now does everything
[18:32] <Shadow__X> because i have the cpu then moving to a quad
[18:33] <NTolerance> hopefully this LGA775 thing will stick around for a while
[18:33] <Shadow__X> eh
[18:34] <Shadow__X> maybe one more release imo
[18:34] <NTolerance> =\
[18:34] <NTolerance> i fondly remember the socket 7 and slot 1 days
[18:34] <NTolerance> you'd go 5 years before you'd need a new mobo
[18:34] <NTolerance> now it's like every 8 months
[18:39] <Shadow__X> eh
[18:39] <Shadow__X> not 8 months
[18:39] <Shadow__X> like 1.5 years
[18:39] <NTolerance> i exaggerated
[18:39] <NTolerance> but still
[18:39] <Shadow__X> if you got a good mb to start with
[18:49] <Shadow__X> hmm what linux player supports connecting to mythtv backend with commerical skip
[18:55] <NTolerance> totem and vlc don't do it?
[18:57] <NTolerance> i got my totem mythtv plugin working halfway yesterday
[18:57] <NTolerance> found the option to bind mysql to ethernet in mythcontrol center
[18:57] <NTolerance> i can now get the show list, but then it says it can't play myth:// addresses
[18:57] <NTolerance> i think it's because i'm using totem-xine
[18:58] <Shadow__X> yeah or just install all the gstreamer plugins
[18:58] <Shadow__X> to support playing mpeg2
[18:59] <NTolerance> hmm, hope that will work, totem-gstreamer is worthless
[18:59] <Shadow__X> ah how come
[19:00] <NTolerance> doesn't play dvds properly
[19:00] <Shadow__X> ah
[19:39] <NTolerance> Shadow__X:
[19:39] <NTolerance> totem-gstreamer would always jump to some arbitrary spot on the DVD instead of starting from the beginning
[19:39] <NTolerance> could never get to the title menu
[19:39] <Shadow__X> ah
[19:39] <Shadow__X> hmm
[19:39] <Shadow__X> does mythtv plugin work though
[19:39] <NTolerance> plus i couldn't get libdvdnav4 working w/ it
[19:39] <NTolerance> dunno, i might test it later
[19:40] <Shadow__X> k
[20:15] <N0cturn0> can anyone help me with a hauppauge-350 not picking up channels?
[20:44] <lokus> foxbuntu u around?
[21:46] <jarle> On my mac mini frontend I have stereo sound through the optical output working just fine, however when I play DTS/AC3 I get no sound. Anybody have surround sound working on a mac mini frontend?
