[00:39] <dick-richardson> I 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?
[01:04] <foxbuntu> dick-richardson, MythTV is based on a MySQL DB, it is a required part of the install
[01:08] <dick-richardson> when I run mythtv, I'm getting a fatal error: audio not configure, you need to run mythfrontend
[01:09] <dick-richardson> when I run mythfrontend, I get 'This version of MythTV requires an updated database schema. Please run mythtv-setup or mythbackend to update your database"
[01:10] <dick-richardson> when i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema"
[01:11] <dick-richardson> when i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema"
[01:15] <foxbuntu> dick-richardson, how did you do the MythTV install?
[01:17] <dick-richardson> It 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 line
[01:23] <MythbuntuGuest02> burned dvd's does not work.. after using mytharchive.. did work before upgrading to new -fixes
[01:24] <MythbuntuGuest02> the player(s) cant read the dvd..
[01:24] <MythbuntuGuest02> i have had fixes all the time and as i said, it worked before with -fixes.
[01:46] <superm1> tritium, i do have a hdhomerun, but i dont have it in the same room as my tv
[01:46] <superm1> so i've not configured lirc for it
[02:55] <tritium> superm1: thanks
[02:56] <tritium> Well, 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...
[03:22] <thedarkone> hey all
[03:22] <thedarkone> i just got a new video card
[03:23] <thedarkone> can some one help me set it up
[03:23] <thedarkone> it a nvidia 6200 tc
[03:55] <thedarkone> anyone here
[04:20] <tritium> Greybeard: unbelievable!  I went to dinner, and I came back, and my HDHomeRun power adapter was toast!
[04:22] <tritium> Apparently, a known issue: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/power/
[04:25] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, 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 though
[04:25] <tritium> foxbuntu_vm: yes, at least they are replacing them.
[04:25] <tritium> (It's still inconvenient.)
[04:28] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, yeah...still suxor for you
[04:28] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, 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)
[04:29] <tritium> foxbuntu_vm: I just upgraded the firmware today, as a matter of fact.
[04:30] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, 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 me
[04:35] <thedarkone> hey all
[04:35] <thedarkone> anyone help me with this nvidia 6200
[04:35] <thedarkone> ?
[04:37] <tritium> thedarkone: that's a video card, not a tuner card, correct?
[04:38] <thedarkone> yeah
[04:39] <tritium> thedarkone: #ubuntu is probably a more appropriate channel for that question.  What's the problem?
[04:52] <tritium> Isn't "Y" supposed to change tuner cards?
[04:53] <tritium> Now with my HDHomeRun dead, I can't change tuner cards.
[04:55] <tritium> Perhaps that's enough mythtv frustration for one day...
[04:56] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, you should be able to exit the frontend and reopen it to reset it to use the default tuner card and get off your HDHR
[04:57] <tritium> foxbuntu_vm: the HDHR Tuner 0 _is_ the default
[04:57] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, also if you restart the backend it will see that the HDHR is offline if you unplug it
[04:57] <tritium> And the "Y" button does nothing.
[04:59] <tritium> Thanks, though, foxbuntu_vm.
[05:04] <foxbuntu_vm> tritium, no problem
[05:27] <Greybeard> sorry to hear about the dead HDHomerun, tritium
[05:28] <tritium> Greybeard: thanks...
[05:29] <Greybeard> it sounds like it's just the wall-wart, not the device itself
[05:29] <Greybeard> if you had another one of the same voltage, you could use it
[05:37] <tritium> I looked.  Nothing with the same voltage, or current for that matter.
[05:37] <tritium> Surprisingly that thing draws 2A at 5V.
[05:38] <DogBoy> radio shack sells replacement ones that have switchable settings and multiple adapter plugs
[05:38] <tritium> I have one -- closest voltage is 4.5V, but it only goes to 1000mA.
[05:38] <superm1> tritium, what was the root cause of that going out?
[05:38] <tritium> superm1: no idea, other than it's common enough for them to have a support page for it.
[05:39] <superm1> tritium, well i think i'll order a new one then
[05:39] <superm1> in case this is gonna happen to me soon enough too
[05:39] <superm1> oh nvm.  i got a "not needed" when i put in my id
[05:39] <tritium> Ah.
[05:39] <tritium> Perhaps yours is of a newer, improved design.
[05:40] <superm1> sorry to hear about yours then
[05:40] <tritium> Thanks!
[05:40] <superm1> well mines among the first that come out
[05:40] <superm1> so yours is the "improved" design :)
[05:40] <tritium> heh
[05:40] <superm1> i'll shoot an email to a few other buddies with these though at least to have them double check theirs'
[05:41] <tritium> Good plan.
[05:44] <mm_202> Hey guys, has anyone here gotten Mythbuntu to work on a VIA EPIA-M board?
[05:45] <tritium> Good night!
[05:45] <superm1> night tritium
[05:45] <tritium> Take care, superm1.
[05:45] <Greybeard> bye
[05:45] <tritium> Night, Greybeard.
[06:00] <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)
[06:01] <peterbecker__> and I've got "repeat_bit 2" in my lircd.conf
[06:01] <peterbecker__> still getting duplicates :(
[06:01] <peterbecker__> terminal window gets single digits, irw gets duplicate events
[06:17] <Greybeard> so, this is a receiver with Linux input subsystem support?
[06:18] <peterbecker__> yes, it's a FusionHDTV Dual with an IR-receiver that appears on my system as /dev/input/event7
[06:19] <peterbecker__> I made a config with irrecord myself
[06:19] <peterbecker__> used dev/input as driver
[06:19] <Greybeard> which lircd driver?
[06:19] <peterbecker__> dev/input
[06:20] <peterbecker__> (sidenote: I have no real clue what I'm doing, I just know how to use Google)
[06:20] <Greybeard> devinput?
[06:20] <peterbecker__> to create the configuration I used "irrecord --driver dev/input --device /dev/input/event7 test.conf"
[06:21] <Greybeard> so, 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.conf
[06:21] <peterbecker__> I just realised that irw actually shows a repeat count of "00" each time
[06:21] <peterbecker__> so it might be an lirc problem
[06:21] <peterbecker__> I was considering the key event + lirc event
[06:22] <Greybeard> 00 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 completely
[06:22] <Greybeard> that definitely sounds like a lirc problem, but I don't know if it would be in lircd or what
[06:22] <peterbecker__> no, two 00 events come on each press
[06:22] <Greybeard> oh, exactly two
[06:22] <peterbecker__> yes
[06:22] <peterbecker__> and for all keys I tried
[06:23] <Greybeard> I'm using an MCE receiver, so I haven't tried lirc's "devinput" driver
[06:23] <peterbecker__> maybe I'm using the wrong driver?
[06:23] <Greybeard> I'm not sure
[06:23] <peterbecker__> as I said: I don't really know what I'm doing
[06:23] <peterbecker__> just doing the Google -> try -> repeat
[06:23] <Greybeard> so, MythTV didn't do what you wanted without lirc?
[06:24] <peterbecker__> MythTV works, but without remote
[06:24] <Greybeard> but 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 duplicates
[06:24] <peterbecker__> if you hit digits or up/down while the terminal is active you get single results
[06:25] <Greybeard> so, then those buttons should work for MythTV when lircd isn't running
[06:26] <peterbecker__> ack
[06:26] <Greybeard> but 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 work
[06:26] <peterbecker__> in particular the OK button doesn't do anything
[06:26] <Greybeard> but it does generate a lirc event?
[06:27] <peterbecker__> two
[06:27] <Greybeard> ok
[06:27] <peterbecker__> what maps the IR to the keyboard events?
[06:27] <peterbecker__> I thought lirc would do that, too
[06:27] <Greybeard> I was just wondering if you could get by without lirc entirely
[06:27] <Greybeard> the kernel maps buttons to input events like I think
[06:27] <Greybeard> to apps, it's the same as if you hit that key on the keyboard
[06:29] <peterbecker__> I just tried taking the ArrowRight config out of .lirc/mythtv again
[06:29] <peterbecker__> without lirc directions work correctly
[06:29] <peterbecker__> with lirc left is double, right is dead
[06:29] <Greybeard> or with lircd not running
[06:30] <Greybeard> yeah, so if that worked for all buttons, you wouldn't need to mess with lirc at all
[06:30] <peterbecker__> but I don't understand why taking the config out of .lirc/mythtv results in the right direction being dead
[06:30] <peterbecker__> it seems it ignored the key event then, too
[06:30] <Greybeard> oh
[06:30] <peterbecker__> or the event doesn't happen anymore
[06:31] <Greybeard> I didn't quite understand what you were saying
[06:31] <peterbecker__> I commented the lines in .lirc/mythtv for the right arrow
[06:31] <Greybeard> the right button does the same thing as the keyboard right arrow?
[06:31] <peterbecker__> then started mythtv with lircd running
[06:31] <peterbecker__> result: right arrow is dead
[06:31] <peterbecker__> it should do
[06:32] <Greybeard> what happens when you run irw?
[06:32] <Greybeard> if 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?
[06:33] <peterbecker__> no, just two irw lines
[06:33] <Greybeard> maybe lircd inhibits the key events from being sent
[06:33] <peterbecker__> it looks that way
[06:33] <peterbecker__> would make sense
[06:33] <Greybeard> that would be useful to avoid duplicate events to the app, but it still doesn't explain your duplicate lirc event problem
[06:34] <peterbecker__> my current theory is that the real problem is the repeat count not increasing
[06:34] <peterbecker__> that seems to stop all logic for handling repeats to fail
[06:34] <peterbecker__> s/stop/cause
[06:45] <peterbecker__> Greybeard: thanks for trying -- I gotta go, will try the forum later
[06:45] <Greybeard> ok
[06:45] <Greybeard> sorry I couldn't help more
[06:46] <peterbecker__> no worries
[06:46] <peterbecker__> cu
[06:46] <Greybeard> I've only used serial and mce_usb lirc drivers
[08:33] <MilhousePunkRock> Good morning everyone!
[08:33] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: The update last week was awful, in case you remember me...
[08:35] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, thats too bad
[08:35] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, did you get it worked out?
[08:35]  * foxbuntu just got back from work
[08:36] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Yes, but the WAF was at risk ;)
[08:36] <foxbuntu> WAF?
[08:36] <MilhousePunkRock> First I got bitten by a huge Gutsy->Hardy update bug, with the locales... WAF = Woman Acceptance Factor
[08:36] <foxbuntu> lol
[08:37] <foxbuntu> oh, Im not familar with the locales bug
[08:37] <foxbuntu> odd though, one of the devs is in germany, he's never said anything I remember about it
[08:38] <foxbuntu> sure hope its been resolved in 8.10 then, or going to be
[08:38] <MilhousePunkRock> Next the remote would not work...
[08:38] <MilhousePunkRock> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865679
[08:39] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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 maybe
[08:39] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, that could be
[08:39] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats something in Ubuntu upstream
[08:40] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, what happened with the remote?
[08:40] <MilhousePunkRock> Remote 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] <foxbuntu> oh\
[08:40] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Well, it was not working, at all... Replaced the configs and was good to go again...
[08:41] <foxbuntu> crap, thats my bad, I forgot that you have to make sure to select custom remote during the upgrade or it overwrites it
[08:41] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, thats by design actually...I need to get that in a Wiki on my site
[08:41] <MilhousePunkRock> lol... 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 upgrade
[08:42] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats because the VNC package changed from Gutsy to Hardy
[08:42] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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] <foxbuntu> if you open MCC you should be able to just enable it and give it a password
[08:43] <foxbuntu> hmm
[08:43] <MilhousePunkRock> Oh, 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] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, what VNC client are you using? (not that it really should matter)
[08:44] <MilhousePunkRock> KRDC on KDE 3.5.9 that is...
[08:44] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah, are you using an ATI video card?
[08:44] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Nope, NVidia, GeForce 6200 something IIRC
[08:45] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, well I think unless you told it to keep the original rather than the new it would have backed up and replaced your Xorg.conf
[08:45] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: I dont think there was this prompt for the xorg.conf, I remember it for a few other config files...
[08:45] <foxbuntu> then default is nvidia-auto-select which on most TV's the EDID data doesnt come in properly then the resoultion auto selects bad
[08:46] <MilhousePunkRock> exactly... 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...
[08:47] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, nvidia-settings will bring up the tool to change the overscan for the TV
[08:47] <foxbuntu> usually you just need to adjust it 1 - 3% to get rid of the black box
[08:48] <MilhousePunkRock> The 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 clock
[08:48] <foxbuntu> no, thats when the mythlcd isnt connected
[08:48] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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 start
[08:49] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, this is a dedicated MythTV box isnt it?
[08:49] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Well, I thought so. But it will definetely display that when it's idle, and happily continue on the next keypress...
[08:49] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, this is a another Wiki I have every intention of writing, and havent gotten to ;)
[08:50] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, hmm, my box doesnt do that
[08:50] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, you have the Silver (v2) fusion right?
[08:50] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Dedicated, yes. It always displayed the clock on 7.10 as soon as mythfrontend or mythwelcome was up.
[08:51] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Right. I doubt it's a hardware issue though, since it will continue with mythlcd when it's not idle
[08:52] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, well, let me check something quick, brb
[08:52] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: OK, time for a coffee refil for me :)
[08:56] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, try this: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options
[08:57] <foxbuntu> add this line in there: options lirc_imon islcd=0 (if you havent already)
[08:57] <foxbuntu> then: sudo rmmod lirc_imon
[08:57] <foxbuntu> then: sudo modprobe lirc_imon
[08:58] <foxbuntu> then: sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd restart
[08:58] <foxbuntu> then: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
[08:58] <foxbuntu> then: restart the mythtv frontend
[08:59] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, I assume you have already checked the setup inside the frontend for LCD devices
[09:02] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Welcome back... One moment, I need to turn the mythbox on first...
[09:03] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: I think I added the first line for the problems with the remote at first, but I will check again
[09:04] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, if its there the rest is not needed
[09:09] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Yeah, it's there... Oddly enough, right now the machine is idle on the main menu, and displaying the clock
[09:09] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, intresting
[09:11] <MilhousePunkRock> damnit, I even went to Media --> Recordings blindly, and it still displays the clock...
[09:11] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, as memory serves, its when you roll over onto a recording the display changes
[09:13] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Well, it does display the menu for a moment (which can be specifies in the settings) before it falls back to the clock
[09:13] <foxbuntu> oh
[09:14] <foxbuntu> perhaps its just some settings need adjusted in the Frontend, afterall, your on MythTV .21 now
[09:14] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: There it was again: Left mythfrontend, and from mythwelcome I started it again, for a moment it would display the LCDproc screen.
[09:15] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, oh well thats normal
[09:15] <foxbuntu> IIRC Mythfrontend is the process that grabs LCDproc
[09:16] <foxbuntu> and when you exit and restart it it reset its connection to LCDproc
[09:16] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: But on 0.20 I never saw it again once mythfrontend was started.
[09:16] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, sorry I cant speak for that, I just started dev with the Fusion on .21
[09:17] <foxbuntu> it might be something different for .21
[09:17] <MilhousePunkRock> Ha! I should be in the main menu now, and it also displays ||LCDproc Server| <3 Cli:1 Scr:7 now
[09:17] <foxbuntu> hmm
[09:17] <MilhousePunkRock> On 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] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, you might ask around in the forums or #mythtv-users
[09:18] <MilhousePunkRock> Anyway, it's just a cosmetic issue. More important would be to fix VNC so I can deal with the overscan...
[09:19] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah...
[09:19] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Right, I totally forgot that this channel is "only" MythBuntu... ;)
[09:19] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, well, to be honest you will find mostly mythbuntu users, but our devs have been around
[09:20] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, I myself have used MythTV on several distros, Knoppix, Gentoo, Fedora
[09:20] <MilhousePunkRock> Another minor issue that I noticed is a mixture of German and English in the menu and the OSD, whereas everything was in German on 0.20
[09:20] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, I would submit a bug related to that against MythTV
[09:21] <MilhousePunkRock> Yeah, I shall do that... Translation would even be a thing I could help out with...
[09:21] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: So any ideas how to get VNC to live?
[09:21] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, we would be glad to have you help out here with that
[09:22] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, what is the output of: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc
[09:22] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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...
[09:23] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, well, we have added several new apps this release and they will need translating
[09:24] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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] <vtvt> hi
[09:24] <foxbuntu> vtvt, hello
[09:25] <MilhousePunkRock> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d6c2a8176
[09:25] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, always fun to see bad translations
[09:25] <vtvt> hope you can spare some time to help me with mythtv problem
[09:25] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Odd line breaks, sorry..
[09:25] <MilhousePunkRock> vtvt: Hi...
[09:25] <MilhousePunkRock> vtvt: We can sure try... :D
[09:26] <vtvt> when 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] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, np, do this, sudo dpkg -P libvncserver0 vnc4-common vnc4server
[09:27] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, then restart X and give VNC another try
[09:27] <MilhousePunkRock> vtvt: Did you set the correct hostname IP? That was the reason I could not connect lately...
[09:27] <vtvt> i left it as localhost
[09:28] <MilhousePunkRock> vtvt: Try the real IP
[09:28] <vtvt> 127.0.0.1?
[09:28] <foxbuntu> vtvt, is this a standalone machine (Frontend and Backend on the same machine?)
[09:29] <vtvt> yep
[09:29] <foxbuntu> vtvt, then localhost should work
[09:29] <vtvt> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWG3cR1aq7I this is what happens '' i found this on video when i was googling
[09:30] <foxbuntu> vtvt, pastebin the results of this: sudo tail -n /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[09:30] <foxbuntu> vtvt, oops

[09:34] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, ut oh...I dont know german
[09:34] <foxbuntu> lol
[09:35] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: It's German though :( "Dependancy problems prevent removal of libvncserver0"
[09:35] <vtvt> hangon
[09:35] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, then leave that one
[09:35] <foxbuntu> just run the smae thing but remove that one
[09:35] <MilhousePunkRock> x11vnc depends on libvncserver0
[09:35] <foxbuntu> ok
[09:36] <MilhousePunkRock> next we have MCC depending on vnc4-common
[09:36] <foxbuntu> MCC depends on vnc4-common?
[09:36] <foxbuntu> let me check that
[09:36]  * foxbuntu has the code for MCC
[09:37] <foxbuntu> so it does
[09:37] <foxbuntu> ok well remove just vnc4server then
[09:37] <vtvt> i pasted it
[09:38] <foxbuntu> vtvt, I need the link to it
[09:38] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Ha, that's not even installed
[09:38] <foxbuntu> really?
[09:38] <foxbuntu> it must have removed it from first run then
[09:39] <vtvt> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m34c8d4fa
[09:39] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, do: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc
[09:39] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, then see if its listed there anymore
[09:39] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: libvncserver0, vnc4-common and x11vnc
[09:40] <foxbuntu> vtvt, have you run mythtv-setup yet?
[09:40] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, ok thats better
[09:40] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, try restarting X and retry VNC
[09:40] <vtvt> all i have done is installed the cd
[09:41] <vtvt> and then run the backend
[09:41] <foxbuntu> vtvt, ah you need to run the mythtv-setup to setup the backend before you run the frontend
[09:42] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: You are my hero! ;)
[09:42] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, nah...remember I broke it ;)
[09:42] <foxbuntu> lol
[09:42] <vtvt> how do i do that is it a command i need to type in the terminal ?
[09:43] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: So now I have 18 minutes to fix the overscan before my girlfriend wants to watch Ghost Whisperer
[09:43] <foxbuntu> vtvt, you can do it that way, or from the desktop (exit the frontend), Click Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup
[09:43] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, ok, from terminal on system > nvidia-settings
[09:44] <vtvt> ohh yea thats where i went' thought it was somethign els.e
[09:44] <vtvt> i comes up with the login database and there i cant go any further then that
[09:44] <vtvt> it*
[09:44] <foxbuntu> vtvt, you need to make sure in general the IP in both IP fields are the same, and since its a local system, 127.0.0.1
[09:45] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Oh dear... I left mythwelcome without locking the shutdown... 90 seconds was not enough for the 8 updates it had to perform
[09:45] <foxbuntu> vtvt, where did you get the username/password you are using then?
[09:45] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, lol
[09:45] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, guess you wanted to wait for a reboot anyhow right?
[09:46] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Not in the middle of upgrades
[09:46] <foxbuntu> ut oh
[09:46] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, hope nothing breaks
[09:47] <vtvt> i ran this mythtv command that setup the login and password.
[09:47] <foxbuntu> vtvt, what?
[09:47] <vtvt> reconfig somethign
[09:47] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: That's what --fix-missing is for... :)
[09:47] <vtvt> its set to root and pass is root
[09:47] <foxbuntu> vtvt, thats the wrong one to use
[09:48] <MilhousePunkRock> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[09:48] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah...at least something isnt seriously broken
[09:48] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Not that I have anything better to do on a sunday than fixing the MythBox :P
[09:48] <foxbuntu> vtvt, sudo cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt from the terminal
[09:49] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, perhaps, but its 4A here
[09:49] <foxbuntu> vtvt, that will give you the correct username/password to the DB
[09:50] <vtvt> it says no such directory
[09:50] <foxbuntu> ?
[09:50] <vtvt> oh wait the init/
[09:53] <vtvt> ok i opened the mysql.txt
[09:53] <foxbuntu> username should be mythtv
[09:53] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: It even seems that the overscan setting was saved, it was set to 8 already.
[09:54] <vtvt> DBUser = root  pass is root , DBname = mythconverg and DBtype = qmysql3
[09:54] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah...its a session based thing
[09:54] <foxbuntu> vtvt, I think something got screwed up then, the settings are missing from the install
[09:55] <foxbuntu> vtvt, the install will set that stuff by default, and the root account should never be used for application DB's
[09:55] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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...
[09:56] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, cool, multirec is something that does work here :(
[09:56] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Have a nice night once you are done helping vtvt..
[09:56] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, thanks, ttyl
[09:57] <foxbuntu> vtvt, I would suggest you just reinstall and dont touch those settings next time
[09:57] <vtvt> :( is there something im suppose to do
[09:57] <vtvt> iv installed it about 4 times
[09:57] <vtvt> went with the default and everything cannot connect
[09:57] <foxbuntu> vtvt, run the setup on the last step of the install and then reboot and dont touch anything else
[09:58] <vtvt> how do i do that.
[09:59] <vtvt> i did this database reconfig command to change it before isthat what i need to od ?
[09:59] <vtvt> do.
[09:59] <foxbuntu> during the install the last page has the link to SD and a button for the setup
[09:59] <foxbuntu> vtvt, no thats how you broke it
[09:59] <vtvt> ok :S .. so am i booting of the cd ?
[10:00] <foxbuntu> yes
[10:00] <vtvt> ok restarting now'
[10:01] <vtvt> its got installed mythbuntu and check cd for updates etc
[10:01] <vtvt> install*
[10:01] <foxbuntu> vtvt, this is the guide on setting things up, ignore anything about starting/stopping mythbackend
[10:01] <foxbuntu> "Install Mythbuntu"
[10:02] <foxbuntu> vtvt, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythtv-setup
[10:02] <foxbuntu> vtvt, ignore this in the wiki: joe@moon> /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop
[10:02] <vtvt> i clicked on install mythbuntu
[10:04] <vtvt> do i go to load installer components from cd?
[10:04] <foxbuntu> what?
[10:04] <foxbuntu> it should just start the installer
[10:05] <foxbuntu> what version of the CD are you using?
[10:07]  * MilhousePunkRock is back already...
[10:07] <MilhousePunkRock> Overscan did not last a reboot :(
[10:09] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah, I forget what the option is to make it persistant
[10:09] <foxbuntu> google for it
[10:09] <foxbuntu> nvidia-settings is session based, meaning its only while you are logged in
[10:10] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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)
[10:11] <MilhousePunkRock> Unless I set up wake-on-lan for the backend...
[10:11] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, hmm, Im not sure, but IIRC there are some options for that in the Frontend and the Backend
[10:13] <vtvtvt> hi 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 :S
[10:13] <vtvtvt> power cut stinks....
[10:13] <foxbuntu> vtvtvt, yeah...thats too bad
[10:13] <foxbuntu> vtvtvt, check back with folks then later and that wiki for more help
[10:14] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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 laptop
[10:15] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, yeah...too bad electricity is so expensive over there, otherwise you could just leave it on like I do :)
[10:16] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: 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 harddrive
[10:17] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, alright well...I think I am going to sleep now, gl, stop back and catch me if needed
[10:17] <MilhousePunkRock> foxbuntu: Alright, thanks for the support again, most likely I'll see you next sunday (my sunday)..
[10:21] <foxbuntu> MilhousePunkRock, indeed as I work into the wee hours of Sunday Mornings/Sat nights
[10:25]  * MilhousePunkRock is out, enjoy your Sunday everyone!
[12:06] <egyn> moin, i'm building a htpc. i have no dvd at the moment. does a resource on the net exist where one legally can download sound which is recorded in different setups (such as example music in 2.0/5.1/7.1)?
[12:06] <egyn> so that i can test if my surround/soundcard is working
[12:39] <egyn> I found some at http://www.lynnemusic.com/surround.html.
[15:18] <ahave> can someone help me fix my audio issue with mythdvd? i am not receiving the main audio signal, but i do get the background tracks.. any ideas?
[17:23] <arocs> Hi ... Someone experienced with mythbuntu and suspend to ram mode ...?
[17:24] <arocs> I am able to suspend from mce remote , but when restarting mythtv watch tv is not working
[17:24] <arocs> mythtv works with videos ... but no tv
[17:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> arocs: check the logs for errors?
[17:26] <arocs> let's see
[17:26] <superm1> arocs, you have to restart lirc and mythfrontend i believe
[17:26] <rhpot1991_laptop> maybe your modules for the capture card need to be reloaded or something
[17:27] <arocs> how can i reload mythtv and modules after suspend ?
[17:27] <superm1> arocs, well lets see...
[17:27] <superm1> for starters, figure out which part really needs to be reloaded
[17:28] <superm1> so after you resume, start irw
[17:28] <superm1> and see if you can capture some stuff on the remote
[17:28] <superm1> if not, then try to restart lirc service (/etc/init.d/lirc restart) and run irw again to capture
[17:28] <arocs> The remote works ok
[17:28] <arocs> The mythtv has the menu working and also videos ...
[17:29] <superm1> all of this?
[17:29] <superm1> wow.
[17:29] <arocs> Problem is the tv-card
[17:29] <superm1> last time i tried to suspend with lirc running, it flipped a shit
[17:29] <superm1> okay so for the tv card....
[17:29] <superm1> try to restart mythbackend after the resume
[17:29] <superm1> and see if that fixes it
[17:29] <arocs> ok
[17:29] <superm1> if not, then you'll have to unload tv card modules, reload and restart mythbackend
[17:30] <arocs> ok
[17:31] <arocs> i will try
[17:31] <arocs> another question ... about brightness and contrast ...
[17:31] <arocs> in mythtv is possible to adjust it ...?
[17:32] <arocs> i try the key F while playing dvb-t but is only possible to adjust volume ... ;(
[17:33] <superm1> it's possible sometimes directly on the graphics card's control panel
[17:33] <superm1> also mythtv has some options supported on some cards
[17:34] <arocs> thanks
[17:34] <arocs> nad what about screen modes ... in dvb-t 4:3 and a LCD TV 16:9 .. what are the settings that you are using ?
[17:35] <arocs> i try half and 14:x mode ... because if not i get some strange artifacts in the topof the screen ...
[17:38] <superm1> VBI data probably
[17:38] <superm1> that's normal like a line of black and white
[17:38] <superm1> at the top
[17:38] <arocs> yes
[17:38] <superm1> yeah it's part of the stream
[17:38] <superm1> normally tvs will overscan it out
[17:38] <superm1> but you are seeing more of the picture in the recording
[17:39] <arocs> it is possible to avoid ?
[17:39] <superm1> i leave the aspect ratios alone (defaults).  when i watch a "letterboxed" show, then i adjust the fill settings
[17:39] <superm1> hit the menu key and you can change them on a per show basis
[17:41] <arocs> thanks
[18:55] <ahave> would someone mind reviewing this and tell me if warnings like line#11 are normal?  http://rafb.net/p/D23v9C49.html
[18:55] <ahave> I am having issues with mythvideo not playing the main soundtrack on dvd playback
[19:00] <liri> hey guys
[19:03] <liri> I 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 connection
[19:04] <liri> is there a way to reconfigure this setting? I'd hate to have to re-install just to test which option is for the right one
[19:06] <darthanubis> there is always a better option than a reinstall
[19:06] <darthanubis> I don't use TV-ouot so I can't help you with this one
[19:06] <liri> it's not just TV-Out though
[19:07] <superm1> liri, tv out means svideo or component
[19:07] <liri> even when I got my VGA CRT screen connected I don't see anything
[19:07] <superm1> you picked one of those during install
[19:07] <superm1> and it disables other outputs
[19:07] <liri> superm1: yes, I chose SVideo
[19:07] <superm1> then it *should* be on svideo :)
[19:07] <liri> superm1: fine, but even on the SVideo I don't see anything.
[19:07] <superm1> you can tweak with the xorg.conf at this point
[19:07] <superm1> choose recovery mode on bootup
[19:07] <superm1> at the grub menu
[19:07] <liri> err
[19:07] <superm1> and then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what went wrong
[19:07] <liri> any easier way?
[19:07] <superm1> reinstall
[19:08] <superm1> without a gui, not much else to do
[19:08] <liri> there's no console configuration tool to reset output options?
[19:11] <superm1> that's whta recovery mode is
[19:11] <liri> I'll check it in a min. are there sample xorg.conf files maybe?
[19:15] <mnk0> hey sup
[19:15] <mnk0> ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
[19:15] <mnk0> im still having no luck setting up this video card .. any tips??
[19:20] <laga> yes
[19:20] <laga> ask a real question :)
[19:37] <abarbaccia1> hey do u ever get the gnome-panel bars over mythfrontend?
[19:38] <laga> no. because i don't use gnome ;)
[19:38] <abarbaccia1> hahaha
[19:38] <abarbaccia1> that's one solution
[19:46] <pteague> how can i get mythtv to run in a window instead of eating up my entire screen?
[19:46] <pteague> nm
[19:46] <tgm4883_laptop> pteague, 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 up
[19:47] <pteague> ah, ok...  i got it to run in window, but it's still taking up the full screen
[19:50] <pteague> there we go :)
[19:50] <pteague> any idea which theme is pretty light weight? as far as resources?
[19:55] <laga> iulius
[19:55] <tgm4883_laptop> no idea
[19:56] <tgm4883_laptop> GANT maybe?
[19:56] <laga> iulius.
[19:56] <laga> 20:38 < Falballa> laga: 'ram' could be (#1) 1600x1200: Iulius: 51M, blue: 81M, mythcenter: 120M, Retro und GANT: 215M, Titivillus: 260M, blootube: 299M, ProjectGrayhem: 300M, or (#2) 1920x1080 #3506: mythcenter-wide: 87m (168M, 48%), minimalist-wide: 103m (118m, 13%), blootubelite-wide: 106m (205m, 48%), neon-wide: 118m (248m, 52%),
[19:56] <laga>  ProjectGrayhem-wie: 138m (229m, 40%), MePo-wide: 176m (221m, 20%),  blootube-wide: 233m (531m,
[19:57] <foxbuntu> laga, do you just have magic convo logs on every subject?
[19:59] <foxbuntu> ?
[19:59] <foxbuntu> ?
[20:00] <foxbuntu> ;)
[20:15] <superm1> missing mythbuntu theme?
[20:25] <laga> yes
[20:25] <laga> superm1: janneg made that some time ago
[20:31] <liri> which folder should I put video files for the video media library to search for it?
[20:37] <DGMurdockIII> what tv tuner shold i get
[20:38] <foxbuntu> liri, the default is /var/lib/mythtv/videos
[20:38] <DGMurdockIII> i need the the red white yello connection on it
[20:38] <DGMurdockIII> and would like it to have fm tuner as well
[20:39] <foxbuntu> DGMurdockIII, the PVR-150 is a good tuner
[20:41] <liri> foxbuntu: yep, found it on the configuration screen
[20:42] <liri> any chance someone could point me to a working TV-Out setup for nvidia?
[20:44] <foxbuntu> liri, actually, what kind of TV out is it?
[20:45] <foxbuntu> svid? comp
[20:45] <foxbuntu> ?
[20:48] <DGMurdockIII> ty
[20:59] <liri> foxbuntu: svideo
[20:59] <liri> foxbuntu: the card is a old, it's a Geforce2 MX/MX 400
[20:59] <foxbuntu> liri, many times if you plug in the svid only to the TV and restart X it will setup the TV out
[21:01] <liri> foxbuntu: 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 browser
[21:01] <liri> foxbuntu: 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 setting
[21:02] <foxbuntu> liri, its how you have your Monitor (TV) setup in your Xorg I would think
[21:03] <liri> foxbuntu: would you take a look please? http://pastebin.ca/1176418
[21:04] <foxbuntu> liri, sorry I cant atm sorry
[21:06] <liri> foxbuntu: how do I check if a certain video driver for xorg is installed (like the nvidia driver)
[21:16] <liri> ahh
[21:17] <liri> I think it used the vesa driver, that's all
[21:17] <liri> I'll have to see how to install the binary nvidia driver
[21:19] <superm1> apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy
[21:19] <superm1> i believe for that card
[21:22] <liri> actually it lists for the nvidia-glx driver
[21:24] <liri> is there any known special configuration required after installing it except than adjusting xorg.conf?
[21:31] <liri> no luck playing video even with the nvidia-glx driver installed
[21:37] <liri> uhm, maybe it's mplayer's fault, it's playing with -vo xv
[21:41] <liri> no wonder, xvinfo says "no adaptors present"
[21:41] <superm1> your card is supported by the legacy variant
[21:41] <superm1> not the normal variant typically
[21:42] <liri> which means?
[21:42] <superm1> install the right variant of the driver
[21:42] <superm1> the package is called nvidia-glx-legacy
[21:45] <liri> superm1: 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.html
[21:45] <superm1> that's a bit surprising tbh....
[21:46] <superm1> liri, but okay if it says so :)
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> um
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> no it doesn't
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> Below 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_laptop> The 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> NVIDIA GPU product 	Device PCI ID
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> GeForce2 MX/MX 400 	0x0110
[21:46] <liri> ?
[21:46] <superm1> oh yeah see....
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> unless im missing something
[21:47] <liri> that GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is what I have, so it's in the 96.43 driver which is the nvidia-glx
[21:48] <liri> look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[21:50] <superm1> your right.  i'm used to the naming scheme in intrepid - which there are two legacy drivers
[21:50] <superm1> so look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if it loaded properly
[21:50] <superm1> or what's happening
[22:01] <liri> ugh, I'm tired of it already
