[00:39] 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] dick-richardson, MythTV is based on a MySQL DB, it is a required part of the install [01:08] when I run mythtv, I'm getting a fatal error: audio not configure, you need to run mythfrontend [01:09] 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] when i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema" [01:11] when i run mythbackend, I get "couldn't upgrade database to new schema" [01:15] dick-richardson, how did you do the MythTV install? [01:17] 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] burned dvd's does not work.. after using mytharchive.. did work before upgrading to new -fixes [01:24] the player(s) cant read the dvd.. [01:24] i have had fixes all the time and as i said, it worked before with -fixes. [01:46] tritium, i do have a hdhomerun, but i dont have it in the same room as my tv [01:46] so i've not configured lirc for it [02:55] superm1: thanks [02:56] 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] hey all [03:22] i just got a new video card [03:23] can some one help me set it up [03:23] it a nvidia 6200 tc [03:55] anyone here [04:20] Greybeard: unbelievable! I went to dinner, and I came back, and my HDHomeRun power adapter was toast! [04:22] Apparently, a known issue: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/power/ [04:25] 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] foxbuntu_vm: yes, at least they are replacing them. [04:25] (It's still inconvenient.) [04:28] tritium, yeah...still suxor for you [04:28] 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] foxbuntu_vm: I just upgraded the firmware today, as a matter of fact. [04:30] 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] hey all [04:35] anyone help me with this nvidia 6200 [04:35] ? [04:37] thedarkone: that's a video card, not a tuner card, correct? [04:38] yeah [04:39] thedarkone: #ubuntu is probably a more appropriate channel for that question. What's the problem? [04:52] Isn't "Y" supposed to change tuner cards? [04:53] Now with my HDHomeRun dead, I can't change tuner cards. [04:55] Perhaps that's enough mythtv frustration for one day... [04:56] 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] foxbuntu_vm: the HDHR Tuner 0 _is_ the default [04:57] tritium, also if you restart the backend it will see that the HDHR is offline if you unplug it [04:57] And the "Y" button does nothing. [04:59] Thanks, though, foxbuntu_vm. [05:04] tritium, no problem [05:27] sorry to hear about the dead HDHomerun, tritium [05:28] Greybeard: thanks... [05:29] it sounds like it's just the wall-wart, not the device itself [05:29] if you had another one of the same voltage, you could use it [05:37] I looked. Nothing with the same voltage, or current for that matter. [05:37] Surprisingly that thing draws 2A at 5V. [05:38] radio shack sells replacement ones that have switchable settings and multiple adapter plugs [05:38] I have one -- closest voltage is 4.5V, but it only goes to 1000mA. [05:38] tritium, what was the root cause of that going out? [05:38] superm1: no idea, other than it's common enough for them to have a support page for it. [05:39] tritium, well i think i'll order a new one then [05:39] in case this is gonna happen to me soon enough too [05:39] oh nvm. i got a "not needed" when i put in my id [05:39] Ah. [05:39] Perhaps yours is of a newer, improved design. [05:40] sorry to hear about yours then [05:40] Thanks! [05:40] well mines among the first that come out [05:40] so yours is the "improved" design :) [05:40] heh [05:40] i'll shoot an email to a few other buddies with these though at least to have them double check theirs' [05:41] Good plan. [05:44] Hey guys, has anyone here gotten Mythbuntu to work on a VIA EPIA-M board? [05:45] Good night! [05:45] night tritium [05:45] Take care, superm1. [05:45] bye [05:45] Night, Greybeard. [06:00] does anyone have experience with getting duplicate inputs from a remote control? [06:00] I've got repeat=0 on all events in .lirc/mythtv (as configured by mythbuntu-control-centre) [06:01] and I've got "repeat_bit 2" in my lircd.conf [06:01] still getting duplicates :( [06:01] terminal window gets single digits, irw gets duplicate events === 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 [06:17] so, this is a receiver with Linux input subsystem support? [06:18] yes, it's a FusionHDTV Dual with an IR-receiver that appears on my system as /dev/input/event7 [06:19] I made a config with irrecord myself [06:19] used dev/input as driver [06:19] which lircd driver? [06:19] dev/input [06:20] (sidenote: I have no real clue what I'm doing, I just know how to use Google) [06:20] devinput? [06:20] to create the configuration I used "irrecord --driver dev/input --device /dev/input/event7 test.conf" [06:21] so, the duplicates aren't a result of the app receiving both a key event and a lirc event? [06:21] same driver is configured in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [06:21] I just realised that irw actually shows a repeat count of "00" each time [06:21] so it might be an lirc problem [06:21] I was considering the key event + lirc event [06:22] 00 events keep coming as long as you hold down the button? [06:22] but if I remove entries from .lirc/mythtv, the matching function stops working completely [06:22] that definitely sounds like a lirc problem, but I don't know if it would be in lircd or what [06:22] no, two 00 events come on each press [06:22] oh, exactly two [06:22] yes [06:22] and for all keys I tried [06:23] I'm using an MCE receiver, so I haven't tried lirc's "devinput" driver [06:23] maybe I'm using the wrong driver? [06:23] I'm not sure [06:23] as I said: I don't really know what I'm doing [06:23] just doing the Google -> try -> repeat [06:23] so, MythTV didn't do what you wanted without lirc? [06:24] MythTV works, but without remote [06:24] but you said the remote buttons generate characters in the terminal, right? [06:24] first step was using the control centre to configure the remote, but that gives the duplicates [06:24] if you hit digits or up/down while the terminal is active you get single results [06:25] so, then those buttons should work for MythTV when lircd isn't running [06:26] ack [06:26] but other buttons don't do anything? [06:26] (had to run into the living room to try) [06:26] as far as I can tell only digits and directions work [06:26] in particular the OK button doesn't do anything [06:26] but it does generate a lirc event? [06:27] two [06:27] ok [06:27] what maps the IR to the keyboard events? [06:27] I thought lirc would do that, too [06:27] I was just wondering if you could get by without lirc entirely [06:27] the kernel maps buttons to input events like I think [06:27] to apps, it's the same as if you hit that key on the keyboard [06:29] I just tried taking the ArrowRight config out of .lirc/mythtv again [06:29] without lirc directions work correctly [06:29] with lirc left is double, right is dead [06:29] or with lircd not running [06:30] yeah, so if that worked for all buttons, you wouldn't need to mess with lirc at all [06:30] but I don't understand why taking the config out of .lirc/mythtv results in the right direction being dead [06:30] it seems it ignored the key event then, too [06:30] oh [06:30] or the event doesn't happen anymore [06:31] I didn't quite understand what you were saying [06:31] I commented the lines in .lirc/mythtv for the right arrow [06:31] the right button does the same thing as the keyboard right arrow? [06:31] then started mythtv with lircd running [06:31] result: right arrow is dead [06:31] it should do [06:32] what happens when you run irw? [06:32] 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] no, just two irw lines [06:33] maybe lircd inhibits the key events from being sent [06:33] it looks that way [06:33] would make sense [06:33] that would be useful to avoid duplicate events to the app, but it still doesn't explain your duplicate lirc event problem [06:34] my current theory is that the real problem is the repeat count not increasing [06:34] that seems to stop all logic for handling repeats to fail [06:34] s/stop/cause [06:45] Greybeard: thanks for trying -- I gotta go, will try the forum later [06:45] ok [06:45] sorry I couldn't help more [06:46] no worries [06:46] cu [06:46] I've only used serial and mce_usb lirc drivers [08:33] Good morning everyone! [08:33] foxbuntu: The update last week was awful, in case you remember me... [08:35] MilhousePunkRock, thats too bad [08:35] MilhousePunkRock, did you get it worked out? [08:35] * foxbuntu just got back from work [08:36] foxbuntu: Yes, but the WAF was at risk ;) [08:36] WAF? [08:36] First I got bitten by a huge Gutsy->Hardy update bug, with the locales... WAF = Woman Acceptance Factor [08:36] lol [08:37] oh, Im not familar with the locales bug [08:37] odd though, one of the devs is in germany, he's never said anything I remember about it [08:38] sure hope its been resolved in 8.10 then, or going to be [08:38] Next the remote would not work... [08:38] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865679 [08:39] 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] MilhousePunkRock, that could be [08:39] MilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats something in Ubuntu upstream [08:40] MilhousePunkRock, what happened with the remote? [08:40] 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] oh\ [08:40] foxbuntu: Well, it was not working, at all... Replaced the configs and was good to go again... [08:41] 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] MilhousePunkRock, thats by design actually...I need to get that in a Wiki on my site [08:41] 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] MilhousePunkRock, yeah, thats because the VNC package changed from Gutsy to Hardy [08:42] 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] if you open MCC you should be able to just enable it and give it a password [08:43] hmm [08:43] 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] MilhousePunkRock, what VNC client are you using? (not that it really should matter) [08:44] KRDC on KDE 3.5.9 that is... [08:44] MilhousePunkRock, yeah, are you using an ATI video card? [08:44] foxbuntu: Nope, NVidia, GeForce 6200 something IIRC [08:45] 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] foxbuntu: I dont think there was this prompt for the xorg.conf, I remember it for a few other config files... [08:45] 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] 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] MilhousePunkRock, nvidia-settings will bring up the tool to change the overscan for the TV [08:47] usually you just need to adjust it 1 - 3% to get rid of the black box [08:48] 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] no, thats when the mythlcd isnt connected [08:48] 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] MilhousePunkRock, this is a dedicated MythTV box isnt it? [08:49] foxbuntu: Well, I thought so. But it will definetely display that when it's idle, and happily continue on the next keypress... [08:49] MilhousePunkRock, this is a another Wiki I have every intention of writing, and havent gotten to ;) [08:50] MilhousePunkRock, hmm, my box doesnt do that [08:50] MilhousePunkRock, you have the Silver (v2) fusion right? [08:50] foxbuntu: Dedicated, yes. It always displayed the clock on 7.10 as soon as mythfrontend or mythwelcome was up. [08:51] foxbuntu: Right. I doubt it's a hardware issue though, since it will continue with mythlcd when it's not idle [08:52] MilhousePunkRock, well, let me check something quick, brb [08:52] foxbuntu: OK, time for a coffee refil for me :) [08:56] MilhousePunkRock, try this: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/options [08:57] add this line in there: options lirc_imon islcd=0 (if you havent already) [08:57] then: sudo rmmod lirc_imon [08:57] then: sudo modprobe lirc_imon [08:58] then: sudo /etc/init.d/LCDd restart [08:58] then: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [08:58] then: restart the mythtv frontend [08:59] MilhousePunkRock, I assume you have already checked the setup inside the frontend for LCD devices [09:02] foxbuntu: Welcome back... One moment, I need to turn the mythbox on first... [09:03] foxbuntu: I think I added the first line for the problems with the remote at first, but I will check again [09:04] MilhousePunkRock, if its there the rest is not needed [09:09] foxbuntu: Yeah, it's there... Oddly enough, right now the machine is idle on the main menu, and displaying the clock [09:09] MilhousePunkRock, intresting [09:11] damnit, I even went to Media --> Recordings blindly, and it still displays the clock... [09:11] MilhousePunkRock, as memory serves, its when you roll over onto a recording the display changes [09:13] 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] oh [09:14] perhaps its just some settings need adjusted in the Frontend, afterall, your on MythTV .21 now [09:14] 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] MilhousePunkRock, oh well thats normal [09:15] IIRC Mythfrontend is the process that grabs LCDproc [09:16] and when you exit and restart it it reset its connection to LCDproc [09:16] foxbuntu: But on 0.20 I never saw it again once mythfrontend was started. [09:16] MilhousePunkRock, sorry I cant speak for that, I just started dev with the Fusion on .21 [09:17] it might be something different for .21 [09:17] Ha! I should be in the main menu now, and it also displays ||LCDproc Server| <3 Cli:1 Scr:7 now [09:17] hmm [09:17] 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] MilhousePunkRock, you might ask around in the forums or #mythtv-users [09:18] Anyway, it's just a cosmetic issue. More important would be to fix VNC so I can deal with the overscan... [09:19] MilhousePunkRock, yeah... [09:19] foxbuntu: Right, I totally forgot that this channel is "only" MythBuntu... ;) [09:19] MilhousePunkRock, well, to be honest you will find mostly mythbuntu users, but our devs have been around [09:20] MilhousePunkRock, I myself have used MythTV on several distros, Knoppix, Gentoo, Fedora [09:20] 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] MilhousePunkRock, I would submit a bug related to that against MythTV [09:21] Yeah, I shall do that... Translation would even be a thing I could help out with... [09:21] foxbuntu: So any ideas how to get VNC to live? [09:21] MilhousePunkRock, we would be glad to have you help out here with that [09:22] MilhousePunkRock, what is the output of: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc [09:22] 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] MilhousePunkRock, well, we have added several new apps this release and they will need translating [09:24] 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] hi [09:24] vtvt, hello [09:25] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d6c2a8176 [09:25] MilhousePunkRock, always fun to see bad translations [09:25] hope you can spare some time to help me with mythtv problem [09:25] foxbuntu: Odd line breaks, sorry.. [09:25] vtvt: Hi... [09:25] vtvt: We can sure try... :D [09:26] 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] MilhousePunkRock, np, do this, sudo dpkg -P libvncserver0 vnc4-common vnc4server [09:27] MilhousePunkRock, then restart X and give VNC another try [09:27] vtvt: Did you set the correct hostname IP? That was the reason I could not connect lately... [09:27] i left it as localhost [09:28] vtvt: Try the real IP [09:28] 127.0.0.1? [09:28] vtvt, is this a standalone machine (Frontend and Backend on the same machine?) [09:29] yep [09:29] vtvt, then localhost should work [09:29] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWG3cR1aq7I this is what happens '' i found this on video when i was googling [09:30] vtvt, pastebin the results of this: sudo tail -n /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [09:30] vtvt, oops [09:30] vtvt, pastebin the results of this: sudo tail -n 100 /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log [09:31] !pastebin | vtvt [09:31] vtvt: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. [09:34] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d65332517 [09:34] MilhousePunkRock, ut oh...I dont know german [09:34] lol [09:35] foxbuntu: It's German though :( "Dependancy problems prevent removal of libvncserver0" [09:35] hangon [09:35] MilhousePunkRock, then leave that one [09:35] just run the smae thing but remove that one [09:35] x11vnc depends on libvncserver0 [09:35] ok [09:36] next we have MCC depending on vnc4-common [09:36] MCC depends on vnc4-common? [09:36] let me check that [09:36] * foxbuntu has the code for MCC [09:37] so it does [09:37] ok well remove just vnc4server then [09:37] i pasted it [09:38] vtvt, I need the link to it [09:38] foxbuntu: Ha, that's not even installed [09:38] really? [09:38] it must have removed it from first run then [09:39] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m34c8d4fa [09:39] MilhousePunkRock, do: sudo dpkg -l | grep vnc [09:39] MilhousePunkRock, then see if its listed there anymore [09:39] foxbuntu: libvncserver0, vnc4-common and x11vnc [09:40] vtvt, have you run mythtv-setup yet? [09:40] MilhousePunkRock, ok thats better [09:40] MilhousePunkRock, try restarting X and retry VNC [09:40] all i have done is installed the cd [09:41] and then run the backend [09:41] vtvt, ah you need to run the mythtv-setup to setup the backend before you run the frontend [09:42] foxbuntu: You are my hero! ;) [09:42] MilhousePunkRock, nah...remember I broke it ;) [09:42] lol [09:42] how do i do that is it a command i need to type in the terminal ? [09:43] foxbuntu: So now I have 18 minutes to fix the overscan before my girlfriend wants to watch Ghost Whisperer [09:43] vtvt, you can do it that way, or from the desktop (exit the frontend), Click Applications > System > MythTV Backend Setup [09:43] MilhousePunkRock, ok, from terminal on system > nvidia-settings [09:44] ohh yea thats where i went' thought it was somethign els.e [09:44] i comes up with the login database and there i cant go any further then that [09:44] it* [09:44] 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] 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] vtvt, where did you get the username/password you are using then? [09:45] MilhousePunkRock, lol [09:45] MilhousePunkRock, guess you wanted to wait for a reboot anyhow right? [09:46] foxbuntu: Not in the middle of upgrades [09:46] ut oh [09:46] MilhousePunkRock, hope nothing breaks [09:47] i ran this mythtv command that setup the login and password. [09:47] vtvt, what? [09:47] reconfig somethign [09:47] foxbuntu: That's what --fix-missing is for... :) [09:47] its set to root and pass is root [09:47] vtvt, thats the wrong one to use [09:48] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [09:48] MilhousePunkRock, yeah...at least something isnt seriously broken [09:48] foxbuntu: Not that I have anything better to do on a sunday than fixing the MythBox :P [09:48] vtvt, sudo cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt from the terminal [09:49] MilhousePunkRock, perhaps, but its 4A here [09:49] vtvt, that will give you the correct username/password to the DB [09:50] it says no such directory [09:50] ? [09:50] oh wait the init/ [09:53] ok i opened the mysql.txt [09:53] username should be mythtv [09:53] foxbuntu: It even seems that the overscan setting was saved, it was set to 8 already. [09:54] DBUser = root pass is root , DBname = mythconverg and DBtype = qmysql3 [09:54] MilhousePunkRock, yeah...its a session based thing [09:54] vtvt, I think something got screwed up then, the settings are missing from the install [09:55] vtvt, the install will set that stuff by default, and the root account should never be used for application DB's [09:55] 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] MilhousePunkRock, cool, multirec is something that does work here :( [09:56] foxbuntu: Have a nice night once you are done helping vtvt.. [09:56] MilhousePunkRock, thanks, ttyl [09:57] vtvt, I would suggest you just reinstall and dont touch those settings next time [09:57] :( is there something im suppose to do [09:57] iv installed it about 4 times [09:57] went with the default and everything cannot connect [09:57] vtvt, run the setup on the last step of the install and then reboot and dont touch anything else [09:58] how do i do that. [09:59] i did this database reconfig command to change it before isthat what i need to od ? [09:59] do. [09:59] during the install the last page has the link to SD and a button for the setup [09:59] vtvt, no thats how you broke it [09:59] ok :S .. so am i booting of the cd ? [10:00] yes [10:00] ok restarting now' [10:01] its got installed mythbuntu and check cd for updates etc [10:01] install* [10:01] vtvt, this is the guide on setting things up, ignore anything about starting/stopping mythbackend [10:01] "Install Mythbuntu" [10:02] vtvt, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mythtv-setup [10:02] vtvt, ignore this in the wiki: joe@moon> /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop [10:02] i clicked on install mythbuntu [10:04] do i go to load installer components from cd? [10:04] what? [10:04] it should just start the installer [10:05] what version of the CD are you using? [10:07] * MilhousePunkRock is back already... [10:07] Overscan did not last a reboot :( [10:09] MilhousePunkRock, yeah, I forget what the option is to make it persistant [10:09] google for it [10:09] nvidia-settings is session based, meaning its only while you are logged in [10:10] 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] Unless I set up wake-on-lan for the backend... [10:11] MilhousePunkRock, hmm, Im not sure, but IIRC there are some options for that in the Frontend and the Backend [10:13] 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] power cut stinks.... [10:13] vtvtvt, yeah...thats too bad [10:13] vtvtvt, check back with folks then later and that wiki for more help [10:14] 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] MilhousePunkRock, yeah...too bad electricity is so expensive over there, otherwise you could just leave it on like I do :) [10:16] 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] MilhousePunkRock, alright well...I think I am going to sleep now, gl, stop back and catch me if needed [10:17] foxbuntu: Alright, thanks for the support again, most likely I'll see you next sunday (my sunday).. [10:21] MilhousePunkRock, indeed as I work into the wee hours of Sunday Mornings/Sat nights [10:25] * MilhousePunkRock is out, enjoy your Sunday everyone! === mAzGa is now known as Mazga [12:06] 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] so that i can test if my surround/soundcard is working [12:39] I found some at http://www.lynnemusic.com/surround.html. [15:18] 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? === gbutters is now known as gbutters_afk [17:23] Hi ... Someone experienced with mythbuntu and suspend to ram mode ...? [17:24] I am able to suspend from mce remote , but when restarting mythtv watch tv is not working [17:24] mythtv works with videos ... but no tv [17:26] arocs: check the logs for errors? [17:26] let's see [17:26] arocs, you have to restart lirc and mythfrontend i believe [17:26] maybe your modules for the capture card need to be reloaded or something [17:27] how can i reload mythtv and modules after suspend ? [17:27] arocs, well lets see... [17:27] for starters, figure out which part really needs to be reloaded [17:28] so after you resume, start irw [17:28] and see if you can capture some stuff on the remote [17:28] if not, then try to restart lirc service (/etc/init.d/lirc restart) and run irw again to capture [17:28] The remote works ok [17:28] The mythtv has the menu working and also videos ... [17:29] all of this? [17:29] wow. [17:29] Problem is the tv-card [17:29] last time i tried to suspend with lirc running, it flipped a shit [17:29] okay so for the tv card.... [17:29] try to restart mythbackend after the resume [17:29] and see if that fixes it [17:29] ok [17:29] if not, then you'll have to unload tv card modules, reload and restart mythbackend [17:30] ok [17:31] i will try [17:31] another question ... about brightness and contrast ... [17:31] in mythtv is possible to adjust it ...? [17:32] i try the key F while playing dvb-t but is only possible to adjust volume ... ;( [17:33] it's possible sometimes directly on the graphics card's control panel [17:33] also mythtv has some options supported on some cards [17:34] thanks [17:34] 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] i try half and 14:x mode ... because if not i get some strange artifacts in the topof the screen ... [17:38] VBI data probably [17:38] that's normal like a line of black and white [17:38] at the top [17:38] yes [17:38] yeah it's part of the stream [17:38] normally tvs will overscan it out [17:38] but you are seeing more of the picture in the recording [17:39] it is possible to avoid ? [17:39] i leave the aspect ratios alone (defaults). when i watch a "letterboxed" show, then i adjust the fill settings [17:39] hit the menu key and you can change them on a per show basis [17:41] thanks [18:55] would someone mind reviewing this and tell me if warnings like line#11 are normal? http://rafb.net/p/D23v9C49.html [18:55] I am having issues with mythvideo not playing the main soundtrack on dvd playback [19:00] hey guys [19:03] 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] 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] there is always a better option than a reinstall [19:06] I don't use TV-ouot so I can't help you with this one [19:06] it's not just TV-Out though [19:07] liri, tv out means svideo or component [19:07] even when I got my VGA CRT screen connected I don't see anything [19:07] you picked one of those during install [19:07] and it disables other outputs [19:07] superm1: yes, I chose SVideo [19:07] then it *should* be on svideo :) [19:07] superm1: fine, but even on the SVideo I don't see anything. [19:07] you can tweak with the xorg.conf at this point [19:07] choose recovery mode on bootup [19:07] at the grub menu [19:07] err [19:07] and then look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what went wrong [19:07] any easier way? [19:07] reinstall [19:08] without a gui, not much else to do [19:08] there's no console configuration tool to reset output options? [19:11] that's whta recovery mode is [19:11] I'll check it in a min. are there sample xorg.conf files maybe? [19:15] hey sup [19:15] ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [19:15] im still having no luck setting up this video card .. any tips?? [19:20] yes [19:20] ask a real question :) [19:37] hey do u ever get the gnome-panel bars over mythfrontend? [19:38] no. because i don't use gnome ;) [19:38] hahaha [19:38] that's one solution [19:46] how can i get mythtv to run in a window instead of eating up my entire screen? [19:46] nm [19:46] 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] ah, ok... i got it to run in window, but it's still taking up the full screen [19:50] there we go :) [19:50] any idea which theme is pretty light weight? as far as resources? [19:55] iulius [19:55] no idea [19:56] GANT maybe? [19:56] iulius. [19:56] 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] ProjectGrayhem-wie: 138m (229m, 40%), MePo-wide: 176m (221m, 20%), blootube-wide: 233m (531m, [19:57] laga, do you just have magic convo logs on every subject? [19:59] ? [19:59] ? [20:00] ;) [20:15] missing mythbuntu theme? [20:25] yes [20:25] superm1: janneg made that some time ago [20:31] which folder should I put video files for the video media library to search for it? [20:37] what tv tuner shold i get [20:38] liri, the default is /var/lib/mythtv/videos [20:38] i need the the red white yello connection on it [20:38] and would like it to have fm tuner as well [20:39] DGMurdockIII, the PVR-150 is a good tuner [20:41] foxbuntu: yep, found it on the configuration screen [20:42] any chance someone could point me to a working TV-Out setup for nvidia? [20:44] liri, actually, what kind of TV out is it? [20:45] svid? comp [20:45] ? [20:48] ty [20:59] foxbuntu: svideo [20:59] foxbuntu: the card is a old, it's a Geforce2 MX/MX 400 [20:59] liri, many times if you plug in the svid only to the TV and restart X it will setup the TV out [21:01] 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] 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] liri, its how you have your Monitor (TV) setup in your Xorg I would think [21:03] foxbuntu: would you take a look please? http://pastebin.ca/1176418 [21:04] liri, sorry I cant atm sorry [21:06] foxbuntu: how do I check if a certain video driver for xorg is installed (like the nvidia driver) [21:16] ahh [21:17] I think it used the vesa driver, that's all [21:17] I'll have to see how to install the binary nvidia driver [21:19] apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy [21:19] i believe for that card [21:22] actually it lists for the nvidia-glx driver [21:24] is there any known special configuration required after installing it except than adjusting xorg.conf? [21:31] no luck playing video even with the nvidia-glx driver installed [21:37] uhm, maybe it's mplayer's fault, it's playing with -vo xv [21:41] no wonder, xvinfo says "no adaptors present" [21:41] your card is supported by the legacy variant [21:41] not the normal variant typically [21:42] which means? [21:42] install the right variant of the driver [21:42] the package is called nvidia-glx-legacy [21:45] 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] that's a bit surprising tbh.... [21:46] liri, but okay if it says so :) [21:46] um [21:46] no it doesn't [21:46] 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] The 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs: [21:46] NVIDIA GPU product Device PCI ID [21:46] GeForce2 MX/MX 400 0x0110 [21:46] ? [21:46] oh yeah see.... [21:46] unless im missing something [21:47] that GeForce2 MX/MX 400 is what I have, so it's in the 96.43 driver which is the nvidia-glx [21:48] look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [21:50] your right. i'm used to the naming scheme in intrepid - which there are two legacy drivers [21:50] so look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if it loaded properly [21:50] or what's happening [22:01] ugh, I'm tired of it already [22:19] Needing assistance setting up my Mythbox; running the Install Disk v8.04.1 and need guidence [22:21] !manual | Stemming78 [22:21] Stemming78: http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual [22:21] Using a 7200 AGP card; Component Connection w/ 1080p output.
