dick-richardsonI am trying to set up my mythtv box, but I'm in a loop regarding my sql server. Why do I need to have a sql server?00:39
foxbuntudick-richardson, MythTV is based on a MySQL DB, it is a required part of the install01:04
dick-richardsonwhen I run mythtv, I'm getting a fatal error: audio not configure, you need to run mythfrontend01:08
dick-richardsonwhen I run mythfrontend, I get 'This version of MythTV requires an updated database schema. Please run mythtv-setup or mythbackend to update your database"01:09
dick-richardsonwhen i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema"01:10
dick-richardsonwhen i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema"01:11
foxbuntudick-richardson, how did you do the MythTV install?01:15
dick-richardsonIt had been working after the install...went through the gui installer on the livecd...it stopped working after it kept complaining about the database and I reinstalled it from the command line01:17
MythbuntuGuest02burned dvd's does not work.. after using mytharchive.. did work before upgrading to new -fixes01:23
MythbuntuGuest02the player(s) cant read the dvd..01:24
MythbuntuGuest02i have had fixes all the time and as i said, it worked before with -fixes.01:24
superm1tritium, i do have a hdhomerun, but i dont have it in the same room as my tv01:46
superm1so i've not configured lirc for it01:46
tritiumsuperm1: thanks02:55
tritiumWell, my HDHomeRun appears to have died anyway.  The little red LED on the wall transformer is blinking, and all the LEDs on the face of the box are out.  I did two things today to it: upgraded the firmware, and enabled the IR port.  I wonder which one killed it...02:56
thedarkonehey all03:22
thedarkonei just got a new video card03:22
thedarkonecan some one help me set it up03:23
thedarkoneit a nvidia 6200 tc03:23
thedarkoneanyone here03:55
tritiumGreybeard: unbelievable!  I went to dinner, and I came back, and my HDHomeRun power adapter was toast!04:20
tritiumApparently, a known issue: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/power/04:22
foxbuntu_vmtritium, thats really odd on the HDHR power, really awesome of them to just admit it and have an in place procedure for replacing it...too bad though04:25
tritiumfoxbuntu_vm: yes, at least they are replacing them.04:25
tritium(It's still inconvenient.)04:25
foxbuntu_vmtritium, yeah...still suxor for you04:28
foxbuntu_vmtritium, I have had mine for quite some time and use it tons without issue, however I do suggest keeping the firmware on it up-to-date (or at least close)04:28
tritiumfoxbuntu_vm: I just upgraded the firmware today, as a matter of fact.04:29
foxbuntu_vmtritium, yeah, I have seen strange things with upgrades in MythTV sometimes causing the HDHR to act strange, but a simple firmware upgrade has always resolved it for me04:30
thedarkonehey all04:35
thedarkoneanyone help me with this nvidia 620004:35
thedarkone?04:35
tritiumthedarkone: that's a video card, not a tuner card, correct?04:37
thedarkoneyeah04:38
tritiumthedarkone: #ubuntu is probably a more appropriate channel for that question.  What's the problem?04:39
tritiumIsn't "Y" supposed to change tuner cards?04:52
tritiumNow with my HDHomeRun dead, I can't change tuner cards.04:53
tritiumPerhaps that's enough mythtv frustration for one day...04:55
foxbuntu_vmtritium, you should be able to exit the frontend and reopen it to reset it to use the default tuner card and get off your HDHR04:56
tritiumfoxbuntu_vm: the HDHR Tuner 0 _is_ the default04:57
foxbuntu_vmtritium, also if you restart the backend it will see that the HDHR is offline if you unplug it04:57
tritiumAnd the "Y" button does nothing.04:57
tritiumThanks, though, foxbuntu_vm.04:59
foxbuntu_vmtritium, no problem05:04
Greybeardsorry to hear about the dead HDHomerun, tritium05:27
tritiumGreybeard: thanks...05:28
Greybeardit sounds like it's just the wall-wart, not the device itself05:29
Greybeardif you had another one of the same voltage, you could use it05:29
tritiumI looked.  Nothing with the same voltage, or current for that matter.05:37
tritiumSurprisingly that thing draws 2A at 5V.05:37
DogBoyradio shack sells replacement ones that have switchable settings and multiple adapter plugs05:38
tritiumI have one -- closest voltage is 4.5V, but it only goes to 1000mA.05:38
superm1tritium, what was the root cause of that going out?05:38
tritiumsuperm1: no idea, other than it's common enough for them to have a support page for it.05:38
superm1tritium, well i think i'll order a new one then05:39
superm1in case this is gonna happen to me soon enough too05:39
superm1oh nvm.  i got a "not needed" when i put in my id05:39
tritiumAh.05:39
tritiumPerhaps yours is of a newer, improved design.05:39
superm1sorry to hear about yours then05:40
tritiumThanks!05:40
superm1well mines among the first that come out05:40
superm1so yours is the "improved" design :)05:40
tritiumheh05:40
superm1i'll shoot an email to a few other buddies with these though at least to have them double check theirs'05:40
tritiumGood plan.05:41
mm_202Hey guys, has anyone here gotten Mythbuntu to work on a VIA EPIA-M board?05:44
tritiumGood night!05:45
superm1night tritium05:45
tritiumTake care, superm1.05:45
Greybeardbye05:45
tritiumNight, Greybeard.05:45
peterbecker__does anyone have experience with getting duplicate inputs from a remote control?06:00
peterbecker__I've got repeat=0 on all events in .lirc/mythtv (as configured by mythbuntu-control-centre)06:00
peterbecker__and I've got "repeat_bit 2" in my lircd.conf06:01
peterbecker__still getting duplicates :(06:01
peterbecker__terminal window gets single digits, irw gets duplicate events06:01
=== gbutters is now known as gbutters_afk
=== gbutters_afk is now known as gbutters_zzzz
=== gbutters_zzzz is now known as gbutters_
=== gbutters_ is now known as gbutters
Greybeardso, this is a receiver with Linux input subsystem support?06:17
peterbecker__yes, it's a FusionHDTV Dual with an IR-receiver that appears on my system as /dev/input/event706:18
peterbecker__I made a config with irrecord myself06:19
peterbecker__used dev/input as driver06:19
Greybeardwhich lircd driver?06:19
peterbecker__dev/input06:19
peterbecker__(sidenote: I have no real clue what I'm doing, I just know how to use Google)06:20
Greybearddevinput?06:20
peterbecker__to create the configuration I used "irrecord --driver dev/input --device /dev/input/event7 test.conf"06:20
Greybeardso, the duplicates aren't a result of the app receiving both a key event and a lirc event?06:21
peterbecker__same driver is configured in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf06:21
peterbecker__I just realised that irw actually shows a repeat count of "00" each time06:21
peterbecker__so it might be an lirc problem06:21
peterbecker__I was considering the key event + lirc event06:21
Greybeard00 events keep coming as long as you hold down the button?06:22
peterbecker__but if I remove entries from .lirc/mythtv, the matching function stops working completely06:22
Greybeardthat definitely sounds like a lirc problem, but I don't know if it would be in lircd or what06:22
peterbecker__no, two 00 events come on each press06:22
Greybeardoh, exactly two06:22
peterbecker__yes06:22
peterbecker__and for all keys I tried06:22
GreybeardI'm using an MCE receiver, so I haven't tried lirc's "devinput" driver06:23
peterbecker__maybe I'm using the wrong driver?06:23
GreybeardI'm not sure06:23
peterbecker__as I said: I don't really know what I'm doing06:23
peterbecker__just doing the Google -> try -> repeat06:23
Greybeardso, MythTV didn't do what you wanted without lirc?06:23
peterbecker__MythTV works, but without remote06:24
Greybeardbut you said the remote buttons generate characters in the terminal, right?06:24
peterbecker__first step was using the control centre to configure the remote, but that gives the duplicates06:24
peterbecker__if you hit digits or up/down while the terminal is active you get single results06:24
Greybeardso, then those buttons should work for MythTV when lircd isn't running06:25
peterbecker__ack06:26
Greybeardbut other buttons don't do anything?06:26
peterbecker__(had to run into the living room to try)06:26
peterbecker__as far as I can tell only digits and directions work06:26
peterbecker__in particular the OK button doesn't do anything06:26
Greybeardbut it does generate a lirc event?06:26
peterbecker__two06:27
Greybeardok06:27
peterbecker__what maps the IR to the keyboard events?06:27
peterbecker__I thought lirc would do that, too06:27
GreybeardI was just wondering if you could get by without lirc entirely06:27
Greybeardthe kernel maps buttons to input events like I think06:27
Greybeardto apps, it's the same as if you hit that key on the keyboard06:27
peterbecker__I just tried taking the ArrowRight config out of .lirc/mythtv again06:29
peterbecker__without lirc directions work correctly06:29
peterbecker__with lirc left is double, right is dead06:29
Greybeardor with lircd not running06:29
Greybeardyeah, so if that worked for all buttons, you wouldn't need to mess with lirc at all06:30
peterbecker__but I don't understand why taking the config out of .lirc/mythtv results in the right direction being dead06:30
peterbecker__it seems it ignored the key event then, too06:30
Greybeardoh06:30
peterbecker__or the event doesn't happen anymore06:30
GreybeardI didn't quite understand what you were saying06:31
peterbecker__I commented the lines in .lirc/mythtv for the right arrow06:31
Greybeardthe right button does the same thing as the keyboard right arrow?06:31
peterbecker__then started mythtv with lircd running06:31
peterbecker__result: right arrow is dead06:31
peterbecker__it should do06:31
Greybeardwhat happens when you run irw?06:32
Greybeardif you hit one of the digits for instance, do you get a message from IRW about the lirc event as well as an extra digit in the terminal?06:32
peterbecker__no, just two irw lines06:33
Greybeardmaybe lircd inhibits the key events from being sent06:33
peterbecker__it looks that way06:33
peterbecker__would make sense06:33
Greybeardthat would be useful to avoid duplicate events to the app, but it still doesn't explain your duplicate lirc event problem06:33
peterbecker__my current theory is that the real problem is the repeat count not increasing06:34
peterbecker__that seems to stop all logic for handling repeats to fail06:34
peterbecker__s/stop/cause06:34
peterbecker__Greybeard: thanks for trying -- I gotta go, will try the forum later06:45
Greybeardok06:45
Greybeardsorry I couldn't help more06:45
peterbecker__no worries06:46
peterbecker__cu06:46
GreybeardI've only used serial and mce_usb lirc drivers06:46
MilhousePunkRockGood morning everyone!08:33
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: The update last week was awful, in case you remember me...08:33
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, thats too bad08:35
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, did you get it worked out?08:35
* foxbuntu just got back from work08:35
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Yes, but the WAF was at risk ;)08:36
foxbuntuWAF?08:36
MilhousePunkRockFirst I got bitten by a huge Gutsy->Hardy update bug, with the locales... WAF = Woman Acceptance Factor08:36
foxbuntulol08:36
foxbuntuoh, Im not familar with the locales bug08:37
foxbuntuodd though, one of the devs is in germany, he's never said anything I remember about it08:37
foxbuntusure hope its been resolved in 8.10 then, or going to be08:38
MilhousePunkRockNext the remote would not work...08:38
MilhousePunkRockhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86567908:38
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: It's not mythbuntu specific, and on both my Kubuntu machines this bug did not happen. I upgraded those early though, I think it might be something with 7.10 to 8.04.1 maybe08:39
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, that could be08:39
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats something in Ubuntu upstream08:39
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, what happened with the remote?08:40
MilhousePunkRockRemote got fixed by some guy here in the channel, he remembered that the config files get overwritten and pointed me to stock ones... Which I tweaked a bit to have the old functionality back...08:40
foxbuntuoh\08:40
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Well, it was not working, at all... Replaced the configs and was good to go again...08:40
foxbuntucrap, thats my bad, I forgot that you have to make sure to select custom remote during the upgrade or it overwrites it08:41
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, thats by design actually...I need to get that in a Wiki on my site08:41
MilhousePunkRocklol... Nevermind, I could have made backups of it as well... So now there are only a few minor issues left: 1. vnc does not work, it was not even enabled after the upgrade08:41
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats because the VNC package changed from Gutsy to Hardy08:42
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: I enabled it (with mouse and keyboard 1 m away from the TV screen), now the X session will crash as soon as I press a key on the client...08:42
foxbuntuif you open MCC you should be able to just enable it and give it a password08:42
foxbuntuhmm08:43
MilhousePunkRockOh, the TV screen reminds me of another issue: The resolution was totally wrecked, I had to replace the xorg.conf with the old one...08:43
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, what VNC client are you using? (not that it really should matter)08:43
MilhousePunkRockKRDC on KDE 3.5.9 that is...08:44
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah, are you using an ATI video card?08:44
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Nope, NVidia, GeForce 6200 something IIRC08:44
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, well I think unless you told it to keep the original rather than the new it would have backed up and replaced your Xorg.conf08:45
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: I dont think there was this prompt for the xorg.conf, I remember it for a few other config files...08:45
foxbuntuthen default is nvidia-auto-select which on most TV's the EDID data doesnt come in properly then the resoultion auto selects bad08:45
MilhousePunkRockexactly... That also reminds me that I have never ever ever dealt with the overscan of my TV, and gotten used to a small black frame by now...08:46
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, nvidia-settings will bring up the tool to change the overscan for the TV08:47
foxbuntuusually you just need to adjust it 1 - 3% to get rid of the black box08:47
MilhousePunkRockThe second real issue that exists is with mythlcd, when it's idle in the menu it will display the LCDproc default stuff, "Clients 1 Screen 7" and the heartbeat instead of the clock08:48
foxbuntuno, thats when the mythlcd isnt connected08:48
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Yeah, I have gotten so far, but I never figured out where to put the xsession.rc or where it was called to get this setting applied every X start08:48
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, this is a dedicated MythTV box isnt it?08:49
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Well, I thought so. But it will definetely display that when it's idle, and happily continue on the next keypress...08:49
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, this is a another Wiki I have every intention of writing, and havent gotten to ;)08:49
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, hmm, my box doesnt do that08:50
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, you have the Silver (v2) fusion right?08:50
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Dedicated, yes. It always displayed the clock on 7.10 as soon as mythfrontend or mythwelcome was up.08:50
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Right. I doubt it's a hardware issue though, since it will continue with mythlcd when it's not idle08:51
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, well, let me check something quick, brb08:52
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: OK, time for a coffee refil for me :)08:52
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, try this: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options08:56
foxbuntuadd this line in there: options lirc_imon islcd=0 (if you havent already)08:57
foxbuntuthen: sudo rmmod lirc_imon08:57
foxbuntuthen: sudo modprobe lirc_imon08:57
foxbuntuthen: sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd restart08:58
foxbuntuthen: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart08:58
foxbuntuthen: restart the mythtv frontend08:58
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, I assume you have already checked the setup inside the frontend for LCD devices08:59
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Welcome back... One moment, I need to turn the mythbox on first...09:02
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: I think I added the first line for the problems with the remote at first, but I will check again09:03
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, if its there the rest is not needed09:04
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Yeah, it's there... Oddly enough, right now the machine is idle on the main menu, and displaying the clock09:09
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, intresting09:09
MilhousePunkRockdamnit, I even went to Media --> Recordings blindly, and it still displays the clock...09:11
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, as memory serves, its when you roll over onto a recording the display changes09:11
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Well, it does display the menu for a moment (which can be specifies in the settings) before it falls back to the clock09:13
foxbuntuoh09:13
foxbuntuperhaps its just some settings need adjusted in the Frontend, afterall, your on MythTV .21 now09:14
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: There it was again: Left mythfrontend, and from mythwelcome I started it again, for a moment it would display the LCDproc screen.09:14
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, oh well thats normal09:15
foxbuntuIIRC Mythfrontend is the process that grabs LCDproc09:15
foxbuntuand when you exit and restart it it reset its connection to LCDproc09:16
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: But on 0.20 I never saw it again once mythfrontend was started.09:16
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, sorry I cant speak for that, I just started dev with the Fusion on .2109:16
foxbuntuit might be something different for .2109:17
MilhousePunkRockHa! I should be in the main menu now, and it also displays ||LCDproc Server| <3 Cli:1 Scr:7 now09:17
foxbuntuhmm09:17
MilhousePunkRockOn 0.20 it was cli:0 scr:1 though, but I guess that is because it was only displayed before mythlcd was started...09:17
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, you might ask around in the forums or #mythtv-users09:17
MilhousePunkRockAnyway, it's just a cosmetic issue. More important would be to fix VNC so I can deal with the overscan...09:18
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah...09:19
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Right, I totally forgot that this channel is "only" MythBuntu... ;)09:19
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, well, to be honest you will find mostly mythbuntu users, but our devs have been around09:19
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, I myself have used MythTV on several distros, Knoppix, Gentoo, Fedora09:20
MilhousePunkRockAnother minor issue that I noticed is a mixture of German and English in the menu and the OSD, whereas everything was in German on 0.2009:20
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, I would submit a bug related to that against MythTV09:20
MilhousePunkRockYeah, I shall do that... Translation would even be a thing I could help out with...09:21
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: So any ideas how to get VNC to live?09:21
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, we would be glad to have you help out here with that09:21
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, what is the output of: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc09:22
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Though whenever I check for project that I would care to give something back to, the German translation is always in the top 5. Would be better if I was fluent in Klingon or so...09:22
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, well, we have added several new apps this release and they will need translating09:23
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Well, but the "You are leaving this recording" screen was perfectly translated before... Though "No, keep it, I changed my mind" makes me laugh a bit... ;)09:24
vtvthi09:24
foxbuntuvtvt, hello09:24
MilhousePunkRockhttp://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d6c2a817609:25
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, always fun to see bad translations09:25
vtvthope you can spare some time to help me with mythtv problem09:25
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Odd line breaks, sorry..09:25
MilhousePunkRockvtvt: Hi...09:25
MilhousePunkRockvtvt: We can sure try... :D09:25
vtvtwhen i start the backend it asked me to connect to the database iv put in the correct login and pass but still says cannot login to database is there somethign i need to do first?09:26
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, np, do this, sudo dpkg -P libvncserver0 vnc4-common vnc4server09:26
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, then restart X and give VNC another try09:27
MilhousePunkRockvtvt: Did you set the correct hostname IP? That was the reason I could not connect lately...09:27
vtvti left it as localhost09:27
MilhousePunkRockvtvt: Try the real IP09:28
vtvt127.0.0.1?09:28
foxbuntuvtvt, is this a standalone machine (Frontend and Backend on the same machine?)09:28
vtvtyep09:29
foxbuntuvtvt, then localhost should work09:29
vtvthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWG3cR1aq7I this is what happens '' i found this on video when i was googling09:29

foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, ut oh...I dont know german09:34
foxbuntulol09:34
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: It's German though :( "Dependancy problems prevent removal of libvncserver0"09:35
vtvthangon09:35
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, then leave that one09:35
foxbuntujust run the smae thing but remove that one09:35
MilhousePunkRockx11vnc depends on libvncserver009:35
foxbuntuok09:35
MilhousePunkRocknext we have MCC depending on vnc4-common09:36
foxbuntuMCC depends on vnc4-common?09:36
foxbuntulet me check that09:36
* foxbuntu has the code for MCC09:36
foxbuntuso it does09:37
foxbuntuok well remove just vnc4server then09:37
vtvti pasted it09:37
foxbuntuvtvt, I need the link to it09:38
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Ha, that's not even installed09:38
foxbuntureally?09:38
foxbuntuit must have removed it from first run then09:38
vtvthttp://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m34c8d4fa09:39
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, do: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc09:39
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, then see if its listed there anymore09:39
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: libvncserver0, vnc4-common and x11vnc09:39
foxbuntuvtvt, have you run mythtv-setup yet?09:40
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, ok thats better09:40
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, try restarting X and retry VNC09:40
vtvtall i have done is installed the cd09:40
vtvtand then run the backend09:41
foxbuntuvtvt, ah you need to run the mythtv-setup to setup the backend before you run the frontend09:41
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: You are my hero! ;)09:42
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, nah...remember I broke it ;)09:42
foxbuntulol09:42
vtvthow do i do that is it a command i need to type in the terminal ?09:42
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: So now I have 18 minutes to fix the overscan before my girlfriend wants to watch Ghost Whisperer09:43
foxbuntuvtvt, you can do it that way, or from the desktop (exit the frontend), Click Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup09:43
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, ok, from terminal on system > nvidia-settings09:43
vtvtohh yea thats where i went' thought it was somethign els.e09:44
vtvti comes up with the login database and there i cant go any further then that09:44
vtvtit*09:44
foxbuntuvtvt, you need to make sure in general the IP in both IP fields are the same, and since its a local system, 127.0.0.109:44
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Oh dear... I left mythwelcome without locking the shutdown... 90 seconds was not enough for the 8 updates it had to perform09:45
foxbuntuvtvt, where did you get the username/password you are using then?09:45
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, lol09:45
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, guess you wanted to wait for a reboot anyhow right?09:45
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Not in the middle of upgrades09:46
foxbuntuut oh09:46
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, hope nothing breaks09:46
vtvti ran this mythtv command that setup the login and password.09:47
foxbuntuvtvt, what?09:47
vtvtreconfig somethign09:47
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: That's what --fix-missing is for... :)09:47
vtvtits set to root and pass is root09:47
foxbuntuvtvt, thats the wrong one to use09:47
MilhousePunkRockE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.09:48
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah...at least something isnt seriously broken09:48
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Not that I have anything better to do on a sunday than fixing the MythBox :P09:48
foxbuntuvtvt, sudo cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt from the terminal09:48
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, perhaps, but its 4A here09:49
foxbuntuvtvt, that will give you the correct username/password to the DB09:49
vtvtit says no such directory09:50
foxbuntu?09:50
vtvtoh wait the init/09:50
vtvtok i opened the mysql.txt09:53
foxbuntuusername should be mythtv09:53
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: It even seems that the overscan setting was saved, it was set to 8 already.09:53
vtvtDBUser = root  pass is root , DBname = mythconverg and DBtype = qmysql309:54
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah...its a session based thing09:54
foxbuntuvtvt, I think something got screwed up then, the settings are missing from the install09:54
foxbuntuvtvt, the install will set that stuff by default, and the root account should never be used for application DB's09:55
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Fair enough... I'll leave you alone now. VNC is working again, I will post the lcd issue to the mailing list, and over the week I will figure out how to set up multirec on my own...09:55
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, cool, multirec is something that does work here :(09:56
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Have a nice night once you are done helping vtvt..09:56
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, thanks, ttyl09:56
foxbuntuvtvt, I would suggest you just reinstall and dont touch those settings next time09:57
vtvt:( is there something im suppose to do09:57
vtvtiv installed it about 4 times09:57
vtvtwent with the default and everything cannot connect09:57
foxbuntuvtvt, run the setup on the last step of the install and then reboot and dont touch anything else09:57
vtvthow do i do that.09:58
vtvti did this database reconfig command to change it before isthat what i need to od ?09:59
vtvtdo.09:59
foxbuntuduring the install the last page has the link to SD and a button for the setup09:59
foxbuntuvtvt, no thats how you broke it09:59
vtvtok :S .. so am i booting of the cd ?09:59
foxbuntuyes10:00
vtvtok restarting now'10:00
vtvtits got installed mythbuntu and check cd for updates etc10:01
vtvtinstall*10:01
foxbuntuvtvt, this is the guide on setting things up, ignore anything about starting/stopping mythbackend10:01
foxbuntu"Install Mythbuntu"10:01
foxbuntuvtvt, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythtv-setup10:02
foxbuntuvtvt, ignore this in the wiki: joe@moon> /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop10:02
vtvti clicked on install mythbuntu10:02
vtvtdo i go to load installer components from cd?10:04
foxbuntuwhat?10:04
foxbuntuit should just start the installer10:04
foxbuntuwhat version of the CD are you using?10:05
* MilhousePunkRock is back already...10:07
MilhousePunkRockOverscan did not last a reboot :(10:07
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah, I forget what the option is to make it persistant10:09
foxbuntugoogle for it10:09
foxbuntunvidia-settings is session based, meaning its only while you are logged in10:09
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Another thing I thought about, now that I can use my laptop as a frontend and the backend's frontend is configured to skip mythwelcome if turned on manually, how will the backend shut down if the remote frontend is disconnected? (If that makes sense)10:10
MilhousePunkRockUnless I set up wake-on-lan for the backend...10:11
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, hmm, Im not sure, but IIRC there are some options for that in the Frontend and the Backend10:11
vtvtvthi foxbuntu  my area has no power im on dailup thanks for your hope i cant do much with out power im on laptop on dail up :S10:13
vtvtvtpower cut stinks....10:13
foxbuntuvtvtvt, yeah...thats too bad10:13
foxbuntuvtvtvt, check back with folks then later and that wiki for more help10:13
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: It's of lower importance anyway, we watch "remotely" maybe once a week. I will dig into the options and until that, I will just have to exit mythfrontend on the main machine when we watch on the laptop10:14
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, yeah...too bad electricity is so expensive over there, otherwise you could just leave it on like I do :)10:15
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: I would not, it's not only a money issue... Also the box is still a bit noisy, need to replace that ancient 80 GB harddrive10:16
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, alright well...I think I am going to sleep now, gl, stop back and catch me if needed10:17
MilhousePunkRockfoxbuntu: Alright, thanks for the support again, most likely I'll see you next sunday (my sunday)..10:17
foxbuntuMilhousePunkRock, indeed as I work into the wee hours of Sunday Mornings/Sat nights10:21
* MilhousePunkRock is out, enjoy your Sunday everyone!10:25

egynso that i can test if my surround/soundcard is working12:06
egynI found some at http://www.lynnemusic.com/surround.html.12:39

arocsHi ... Someone experienced with mythbuntu and suspend to ram mode ...?17:23
arocsI am able to suspend from mce remote , but when restarting mythtv watch tv is not working17:24
arocsmythtv works with videos ... but no tv17:24
rhpot1991_laptoparocs: check the logs for errors?17:26
arocslet's see17:26
superm1arocs, you have to restart lirc and mythfrontend i believe17:26
rhpot1991_laptopmaybe your modules for the capture card need to be reloaded or something17:26
arocshow can i reload mythtv and modules after suspend ?17:27
superm1arocs, well lets see...17:27
superm1for starters, figure out which part really needs to be reloaded17:27
superm1so after you resume, start irw17:28
superm1and see if you can capture some stuff on the remote17:28
superm1if not, then try to restart lirc service (/etc/init.d/lirc restart) and run irw again to capture17:28
arocsThe remote works ok17:28
arocsThe mythtv has the menu working and also videos ...17:28
superm1all of this?17:29
superm1wow.17:29
arocsProblem is the tv-card17:29
superm1last time i tried to suspend with lirc running, it flipped a shit17:29
superm1okay so for the tv card....17:29
superm1try to restart mythbackend after the resume17:29
superm1and see if that fixes it17:29
arocsok17:29
superm1if not, then you'll have to unload tv card modules, reload and restart mythbackend17:29
arocsok17:30
arocsi will try17:31
arocsanother question ... about brightness and contrast ...17:31
arocsin mythtv is possible to adjust it ...?17:31
arocsi try the key F while playing dvb-t but is only possible to adjust volume ... ;(17:32
superm1it's possible sometimes directly on the graphics card's control panel17:33
superm1also mythtv has some options supported on some cards17:33
arocsthanks17:34
arocsnad what about screen modes ... in dvb-t 4:3 and a LCD TV 16:9 .. what are the settings that you are using ?17:34
arocsi try half and 14:x mode ... because if not i get some strange artifacts in the topof the screen ...17:35
superm1VBI data probably17:38
superm1that's normal like a line of black and white17:38
superm1at the top17:38
arocsyes17:38
superm1yeah it's part of the stream17:38
superm1normally tvs will overscan it out17:38
superm1but you are seeing more of the picture in the recording17:38
arocsit is possible to avoid ?17:39
superm1i leave the aspect ratios alone (defaults).  when i watch a "letterboxed" show, then i adjust the fill settings17:39
superm1hit the menu key and you can change them on a per show basis17:39
arocsthanks17:41
ahavewould someone mind reviewing this and tell me if warnings like line#11 are normal?  http://rafb.net/p/D23v9C49.html18:55
ahaveI am having issues with mythvideo not playing the main soundtrack on dvd playback18:55
lirihey guys19:00
liriI just installed mythbuntu (8.04.1) and I configured tv out (enabled) but I don't see any video output on a TV-Out or on a VGA output connection19:03
liriis there a way to reconfigure this setting? I'd hate to have to re-install just to test which option is for the right one19:04
darthanubisthere is always a better option than a reinstall19:06
darthanubisI don't use TV-ouot so I can't help you with this one19:06
liriit's not just TV-Out though19:06
superm1liri, tv out means svideo or component19:07
lirieven when I got my VGA CRT screen connected I don't see anything19:07
superm1you picked one of those during install19:07
superm1and it disables other outputs19:07
lirisuperm1: yes, I chose SVideo19:07
superm1then it *should* be on svideo :)19:07
lirisuperm1: fine, but even on the SVideo I don't see anything.19:07
superm1you can tweak with the xorg.conf at this point19:07
superm1choose recovery mode on bootup19:07
superm1at the grub menu19:07
lirierr19:07
superm1and then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what went wrong19:07
liriany easier way?19:07
superm1reinstall19:07
superm1without a gui, not much else to do19:08
lirithere's no console configuration tool to reset output options?19:08
superm1that's whta recovery mode is19:11
liriI'll check it in a min. are there sample xorg.conf files maybe?19:11

pteaguehow can i get mythtv to run in a window instead of eating up my entire screen?19:46
pteaguenm19:46
tgm4883_laptoppteague, there is an option in the frontend setup, general setup I believe, which will allow you to run in a window and to set the amout of screen that it takes up19:46
pteagueah, ok...  i got it to run in window, but it's still taking up the full screen19:47
pteaguethere we go :)19:50

liriwhich folder should I put video files for the video media library to search for it?20:31
DGMurdockIIIwhat tv tuner shold i get20:37
foxbuntuliri, the default is /var/lib/mythtv/videos20:38
DGMurdockIIIi need the the red white yello connection on it20:38
DGMurdockIIIand would like it to have fm tuner as well20:38
foxbuntuDGMurdockIII, the PVR-150 is a good tuner20:39
lirifoxbuntu: yep, found it on the configuration screen20:41
liriany chance someone could point me to a working TV-Out setup for nvidia?20:42
foxbuntuliri, actually, what kind of TV out is it?20:44
foxbuntusvid? comp20:45
foxbuntu?20:45
DGMurdockIIIty20:48
lirifoxbuntu: svideo20:59
lirifoxbuntu: the card is a old, it's a Geforce2 MX/MX 40020:59
foxbuntuliri, many times if you plug in the svid only to the TV and restart X it will setup the TV out20:59
lirifoxbuntu: I actually managed to get tvout working like 2 minutes ago (I'll post the config) but it complained about low-graphics mode and so the frontend starts and I'm able to view pictures but it won't play videos. Says "loading..." but just hangs there until I press ESC and it quits back to the video browser21:01
lirifoxbuntu: I tested that video file when it was connected to a CRT and it played fine so it's something with the video driver or some other setting21:01
foxbuntuliri, its how you have your Monitor (TV) setup in your Xorg I would think21:02
lirifoxbuntu: would you take a look please? http://pastebin.ca/117641821:03
foxbuntuliri, sorry I cant atm sorry21:04
lirifoxbuntu: how do I check if a certain video driver for xorg is installed (like the nvidia driver)21:06
liriahh21:16
liriI think it used the vesa driver, that's all21:17
liriI'll have to see how to install the binary nvidia driver21:17
superm1apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy21:19
superm1i believe for that card21:19
liriactually it lists for the nvidia-glx driver21:22
liriis there any known special configuration required after installing it except than adjusting xorg.conf?21:24
lirino luck playing video even with the nvidia-glx driver installed21:31
liriuhm, maybe it's mplayer's fault, it's playing with -vo xv21:37
lirino wonder, xvinfo says "no adaptors present"21:41
superm1your card is supported by the legacy variant21:41
superm1not the normal variant typically21:41
liriwhich means?21:42
superm1install the right variant of the driver21:42
superm1the package is called nvidia-glx-legacy21:42
lirisuperm1: this website says that the Geforce 2 MX/MX400 is under the normal nvidia-glx driver though: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.12/README/appendix-a.html21:45
superm1that's a bit surprising tbh....21:45
superm1liri, but okay if it says so :)21:46
tgm4883_laptopum21:46
tgm4883_laptopno it doesn't21:46
tgm4883_laptopBelow are the legacy GPUs that are no longer supported in the unified driver. These GPUs will continue to be maintained through the special legacy NVIDIA GPU driver releases.21:46
tgm4883_laptopThe 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:21:46
tgm4883_laptopNVIDIA GPU product Device PCI ID21:46
tgm4883_laptopGeForce2 MX/MX 400 0x011021:46
liri?21:46
superm1oh yeah see....21:46
tgm4883_laptopunless im missing something21:46
lirithat GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is what I have, so it's in the 96.43 driver which is the nvidia-glx21:47
lirilook at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia21:48
superm1your right.  i'm used to the naming scheme in intrepid - which there are two legacy drivers21:50
superm1so look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if it loaded properly21:50
superm1or what's happening21:50
liriugh, I'm tired of it already22:01
