[00:00] <foxbuntu> pteague, np
[00:32] <croppa> How can i boot with a live 8.04 cd and see the software raid drives on my 8.04 hard drives?
[00:32] <croppa> My mythtv box is playing up :-(
[00:49] <Steven_M> hi all
[00:50] <foxbuntu> !ask | Steven_M
[00:50] <Zinn> Steven_M: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[00:51] <Steven_M> foxbuntu: I'm typing out my question now, I was just being polite first
[00:53] <Steven_M> the md5 checksum file for 64 bit mythbuntu is a binary file instead of a text one, what do I need to read it?
[00:56] <foxbuntu> Steven_M, you should be able to open it with any text editor
[01:01] <Steven_M> foxbuntu: hmm, yes. I wonder why firefox reported it  as  a binary file instead of a  text one when it was downloading.
[01:01] <Greybeard> probably a wrong mime type from the server
[01:02] <Steven_M> ok
[01:02] <Greybeard> what file?
[01:02] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, thats possible
[01:03] <Greybeard> the type of an object served over HTTP is specified by the header
[01:03] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, its an md5sum
[01:03] <Steven_M> Greybeard: http://mythbuntu.org/download/?file=mythbuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.md5sum
[01:04] <Greybeard> well, you can check what mime type the server is giving with wget
[01:04] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, Steven_M the mirrors are not all controled by the Dev team, infact several are donated to us
[01:04] <Greybeard> ok
[01:04] <Steven_M> foxbuntu: ahh ok
[01:05] <Steven_M> anyway it's open now
[01:05] <foxbuntu> Steven_M, ok
[01:06] <foxbuntu> Steven_M, that download link is really a script we made to pick the right mirror and rotate between them to provide reliability
[01:06] <Steven_M> foxbuntu: oh, good idea
[01:07] <Steven_M> thanks all, be back later :)
[01:08] <Greybeard> yeah, the server calls it application/x-iso9660-image
[01:08] <Greybeard> which is wrong for the md5sum file
[01:12] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, which server?
[01:12] <Greybeard> mirror.internode.on.net
[01:13] <Greybeard> oddly, I don't seem to get the same content-type every time
[01:13] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, thats one of the donated servers then
[01:13] <Greybeard> ok, I was just noticing
[01:13] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, no prob..
[01:14] <Greybeard> IE has made webmasters lazy, though this isn't necessarily an example of that
[01:15] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, I think its a because of the mirroring software they are using rather than a vhost
[01:16] <foxbuntu> its parsing out the .iso file extension and not the md5sum
[01:16] <Greybeard> does the mirroring software set the mimetype?
[01:16] <Greybeard> yeah, that seems to be what's happening
[01:16] <foxbuntu> Greybeard, it appears to be handling it
[01:16] <Greybeard> it's not very important for the md5sum of course
[01:16] <foxbuntu> nope
[01:17]  * foxbuntu notices his mime type is wrong too
[01:17] <Greybeard> what's more problematic is when there's an image, sound file or video served as binary/octet-stream or something
[01:17]  * foxbuntu goes to fix it
[01:18] <Greybeard> since IE looks at the name of the object, people only testing with IE don't see those wrong mime types
[01:23] <astro__> im so dumb
[01:24] <astro__> i was messing with muthbuntu and xbmc for hours then i relized my tv only had spdif out
[01:24] <astro__> and not in
[01:24] <astro__> and thats why the sound wont work
[01:25] <Greybeard> I can see how that would be a problem
[01:26] <astro__> though i still have one problem left with mythbuntu
[01:26] <astro__> if i goto the setup screens half of it runs off the side of the tv
[01:26] <Greybeard> how is the TV connected?
[01:27] <astro__> hdmi to a dvi converter
[01:27] <Greybeard> what's the mode?
[01:28] <astro__> i have it set in the nvidia setup thing to 1080p rez
[01:28] <astro__> 1920x somthing
[01:29] <Greybeard> so, is all of the X desktop too big, or is it just mythtv-setup that goes off the edge?
[01:29] <astro__> just mythtv-setup
[01:29] <astro__> x looks pretty good
[01:29] <Greybeard> that's very odd
[01:29] <astro__> it runs off the screen just a tiny bit
[01:30] <Greybeard> but mythfrontend doesn't?
[01:30] <Greybeard> for old analog TV, I'd think the problem was overscan, but there shouldn't be any for a digital 1080p mode
[01:31] <astro__> i dont know if im in 1080p
[01:31] <Greybeard> can the TV tell you?
[01:31] <astro__> it does not say that anywhere in the nvidia setup
[01:32] <astro__> it just says 1920x1080
[01:32] <Greybeard> unless it's interlaced, that's 1080p
[01:33] <astro__> this lg tv has been a bitch
[01:33] <astro__> doesnt like to do hdmi sound passthrew for anything but ati cards
[01:33] <Greybeard> many TVs seem to be problematic
[01:34] <Greybeard> my LCD TV doesn't seem to be able to map pixels 1:1 from the DVI input
[01:34] <Greybeard> it's 1366x768 native resolution, which the video card doesn't like to do
[01:35] <Greybeard> for a while I had a mode that was close, but that stopped working, so now I'm just using 1280x720 (720p@60
[01:35] <thatdood> i just had to drop mine today from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 as well
[01:36] <astro__> shitty
[01:36] <Greybeard> mine's not very big, so 720p isn't really worse anyway
[01:36] <astro__> mines only a 46"
[01:36] <Greybeard> only, huh?
[01:37] <thatdood> yours is bigger than mine. lol
[01:37] <astro__> 42/46 is the average in box stores right now
[01:37] <astro__> im pretty sure
[01:37] <Greybeard> you mean average in sales?
[01:38] <Greybeard> average in models?
[01:38] <thatdood> we're only about 12 feet from the TV so 42" is fine
[01:42] <astro__> im trying to sell a 65" projection tv right now
[01:42] <astro__> i hate to give it away because i paid like 6k for it
[01:42] <astro__> but i cant even get 1000bux for it
[01:42] <Greybeard> how old is it?
[01:42] <astro__> 05
[01:43] <astro__> sony i think it only does 1080i
[01:43] <astro__> not p
[01:43] <Greybeard> not a big difference, since there's little 1080p content yet
[01:43] <astro__> i got like 4tb of 1080p stuff on my solaris box
[01:44] <Greybeard> how much time?
[01:44] <astro__> dunno
[01:44] <astro__> its jus all movies off usenet
[01:44] <Greybeard> what encoding?
[01:44] <astro__> scene releases
[01:44] <Greybeard> so, are they from Bluray movies?
[01:45] <astro__> id assume to
[01:45] <astro__> err so
[01:45] <Greybeard> I'm just wondering what kind of video bitrate
[01:45] <astro__> im just mounting my shares now so mythtv can access them
[01:45] <Greybeard> I wonder who the idiots were who thought interlaced encodings were a good idea for HDTV
[01:45] <astro__> whats the prefered method for that just add it to the fstab?
[01:46] <Greybeard> yes
[01:47] <astro__> i think i will finaly stick with mythtv
[01:48] <astro__> no more wasting time switching from vista to leopard to myth
[01:48] <Greybeard> for the media machine?
[01:48] <astro__> yea
[01:48] <Greybeard> yeah, that has to suck
[01:49] <astro__> i got xboxes in the bedrooms
[01:49] <astro__> i will upgrade to popcornhours when i can afford to waste cash
[01:49] <Greybeard> I still boot to windows on my desktop for a few games sometimes, but otherwise, I use Ubuntu everywhere
[01:50] <astro__> i use vista/xp/osx and solaris
[01:50] <astro__> not much of a linux fan anymore
[01:51] <astro__> openbsd on all the servers i setup usualy
[01:52] <Greybeard> yeah, OpenBSD is good too
[01:53] <astro__> just for server stuff though, youd have to be pretty hardcore to use it as a desktop os
[01:56] <Greybeard> yeah, I tried OpenBSD on a server once, but I didn't see a compelling enough reason to switch from GNU/Linux
[01:56] <Greybeard> but of course, OpenSSH and a few other projects are used by us all
[01:57] <astro__> security
[01:57] <astro__> i guess linux is not as bad anmore
[01:57] <astro__> but there used to be so many remote exploits for it
[01:57] <Greybeard> for Linux or for apps?
[01:58] <astro__> linux
[01:58] <astro__> and the apps people use on linux
[01:58] <Greybeard> there have unfortunately been a number of exploits for various popular servers like Apache and Sendmail
[01:58] <Greybeard> what's the default MTA on OpenBSD, btw?
[01:59] <astro__> sendmail as of the last version i installed
[02:00] <Greybeard> I'd replace it with Postfix or something if I cared about security
[02:00] <astro__> openbsd runs most daemons in a chroot
[02:00] <Greybeard> definitely a good idea
[02:01] <astro__> i cant get linux to mount this cifs share off the opensolaris box
[02:01] <astro__> for some reason
[02:01] <Greybeard> Samba is the server?
[02:01] <astro__> cifs
[02:01] <Greybeard> CIFS is a protocol
[02:01] <Greybeard> Samba serves SMB and CIFS
[02:01] <astro__> opensolaris has a "cifs" server
[02:01] <astro__> you can also use samba
[02:02] <Greybeard> does smbclient connect?
[02:04] <astro__> yea its a premissions issue
[02:04] <astro__> i can mount shares off the win2k3 domain controller
[02:05] <Greybeard> you
[02:05] <Greybeard> you're using Linux's cifs driver, right?
[02:06] <astro__> whatever mythbuntu uses by default
[02:06] <Greybeard> I didn't know it did remote mounts by default
[02:06] <astro__> i added it to /etc/fstab
[02:06] <astro__> then did mount -a
[02:07] <astro__> asks for a password for the solaris share
[02:07] <astro__> and it mounts the win2k3 share as guest
[02:08] <Greybeard> where did you configure this?
[02:08] <astro__>  /etc/fstab
[02:08] <Greybeard> so you did do it manually
[02:09] <astro__> how do you do it not manually?
[02:09] <Greybeard> you seemed to be implying it was set up automatically
[02:10] <astro__> mythtv should have a setup for smb built into it
[02:10] <Greybeard> yeah, that would be helpful
[02:10] <astro__> but i guess i dont use mythtv for its primary purpose
[02:10] <Greybeard> so, you're using "cifs" as the filesystem type in fstab, right?
[02:10] <astro__> yup
[02:11] <Greybeard> ok, that's what I was getting at
[02:11] <Greybeard> because there's also smbfs, which is less functional
[02:13] <astro__> ah
[02:22] <Jua1> buenas noches
[02:23] <Jua1> alguien habla español por favor?
[02:24] <Jua1> hello
[02:24] <Jua1> someone speaks Spanish please?
[02:26] <Greybeard> un poco
[02:26] <Jua1> gracias por tu respuesta, buenas noches
[02:26] <Greybeard> buenas noches
[02:26] <Jua1> estoy un poco confundido
[02:26] <Greybeard> con MythTV?
[02:26] <Jua1> si señor
[02:26] <Jua1> lo instale y corre sin problemas
[02:26] <Jua1> pero no puedo ver samba shares
[02:27] <Jua1> (comparticiones samba)
[02:27] <Jua1> esto es posible con mythtv?
[02:27] <Jua1> estoy usando mythubuntu
[02:27] <Greybeard> si es posible usar Samba o comparticiones de SMB
[02:28] <Jua1> podrias decirme como?
[02:28] <Jua1> u orientarme?
[02:29] <Greybeard> tienes que editar al /etc/fstab
[02:30] <Jua1> y montar la unidad de red como si fuera una unidad logica?
[02:30] <Greybeard> unidad significa filesystem?
[02:31] <Jua1> no, creo que aplica mejor a drive
[02:31] <Jua1> pero te entendi
[02:31] <Jua1> por cierto, hablas muy bien español
[02:31] <Greybeard> oh Ingles se llama "share" en SMB
[02:31] <Greybeard> gracias
[02:32] <Jua1> de donde eres greybeard?
[02:32] <Greybeard> de EEUU
[02:32] <Greybeard> pero vivia en Centroamerica
[02:32] <Jua1> entiendo
[02:32] <Jua1> donde naciste?
[02:33] <shaggywmirc> hello
[02:33] <Greybeard> en Los Estados Unidos
[02:33] <shaggywmirc> same
[02:33] <Jua1> bueno, agradezco mucho tu ayuda
[02:33] <Jua1> voy a editar fstab y si tengo alguna otra duda, te consulto
[02:33] <Greybeard> ok
[02:35] <Greybeard> tienes que usar //computadora/﻿comparticion para el comparticion
[02:36] <Greybeard> y "cifs" para el tipo
[02:36] <Greybeard> hay detalles en el manpage para "mount"
[02:49] <Jua1> //servername/sharename  /media/mountname  smbfs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[02:49] <Jua1> esta mal?
[02:49] <Greybeard> creo que es mejor usar "cifs"
[02:49] <Jua1> simplemente reemplazo smbfs por cifs?
[02:49] <Greybeard> si
[02:50] <Jua1> bien
[02:50] <Jua1> ahora vuelvo :d
[02:50] <Greybeard> cifs es mas nuevo
[02:50] <Greybeard> no creo que "codepage=unicode" esta correcto
[02:51] <Jua1> entonces lo quito
[02:52] <Jua1> bien
[02:52] <Greybeard> funciona?
[02:52] <Jua1> desde ubuntu ya puedo acceder a los smb shares
[02:52] <Jua1> si
[02:52] <Greybeard> bueno
[02:52] <Jua1> pero no se como verlos en mythtv
[02:52] <Greybeard> en "Setup" para Video
[02:52] <Greybeard> para el "Mythvideo" plugin
[02:54] <Jua1> perdon
[02:54] <Jua1> pero no encuentro la opcion
[02:55] <Greybeard> un momento
[02:56] <Jua1> bueno
[02:59] <Greybeard> Utilites/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos Settings -> General Settings
[02:59] <Greybeard> "Directories that hold videos"
[03:00] <Jua1> :)
[03:00] <Jua1> soy una persona molesta?
[03:00] <Greybeard> no
[03:00] <Jua1> :x
[03:00] <shaggywmirc> anoying?
[03:00] <Greybeard> puedes buscarlo?
[03:01] <Jua1> estoy haciendolo
[03:01] <Greybeard> ok
[03:01] <Jua1> el problema es que yo lo tengo en español
[03:01] <Greybeard> ok
[03:01] <shaggywmirc> habla ingles
[03:01] <Jua1> perfecto, ya le puse la ruta de montaje
[03:01] <Greybeard> bien!
[03:03] <Jua1> ahora voy a "Mediateca"... --> Ver Videos --> y ahi estan!
[03:03] <Greybeard> ok
[03:03] <Jua1> estoy corriendolo en vmware y solo se escucha el audio
[03:03] <Jua1> sera un problema de la maquina virtual?
[03:03] <Greybeard> posiblemente
[03:03] <Jua1> bien
[03:03] <Jua1> con la musica es el mismo procedimiento?
[03:03] <Greybeard> es similar
[03:04] <Jua1> si, acabo de verlo
[03:04] <Jua1> voy a intentar con mi musica
[03:04] <Jua1> no sabes cuanta alegria me haz dado :D
[03:05] <Greybeard> bien!
[03:11] <Greybeard> ﻿tgm4883_laptop: I just discovered ~/.mythtv/config.xml
[03:11] <Greybeard> that must be what you were referring to
[03:11] <Jua1> eso es para mi?
[03:11] <Greybeard> no
[03:11] <Jua1> ok
[03:11] <Jua1> perdon
[03:12] <Greybeard> no hay problema
[03:37] <Jua1> greybeard
[03:38] <Greybeard> si?
[03:38] <Jua1> ja
[03:38] <Jua1> como haces para contestar tan rapido?
[03:38] <Greybeard> no se
[03:38] <Jua1> bueno
[03:38] <Jua1> agregue felizmente la musica
[03:38] <Greybeard> bien
[03:38] <Jua1> pero no puedo escucharla
[03:38] <Jua1> quiero decir
[03:38] <Jua1> no puedo verla
[03:38] <Jua1> la agrega y todo
[03:39] <Jua1> pero cuando voy a "escuchar musica"
[03:39] <Jua1> solo sale algo acerca de un playlist
[03:39] <Jua1> y no mas
[03:39] <Greybeard> y hiciste el "scan"?
[03:39] <Jua1> si, lo hace perfectamente
[03:40] <Jua1> pero despues no me figuran para escuchar
[03:41] <Greybeard> hay que editar las lista de musica
[03:41] <Greybeard> con "3" en el teclado
[03:42] <Jua1> ya estoy
[03:42] <Jua1> all my music?
[03:42] <Greybeard> si
[03:42] <Jua1> esa es la opcion=
[03:42] <Jua1> ?
[03:42] <Jua1> ya la active
[03:42] <Jua1> ahora?
[03:42] <Greybeard> puedes ver las musica?
[03:43] <Jua1> activo "all my music" pero no pasa nada
[03:43] <Greybeard> ok
[03:44] <Greybeard> y en el setup para musica pusiste el directorio correcto?
[03:44] <Jua1> si, perfectamente
[03:44] <Jua1> de hecho, el scan parece encontrar archivos
[03:44] <Jua1> pero despues no los veo
[03:45] <Greybeard> que tipos de archivos son?
[03:45] <Jua1> mp3
[03:45] <Jua1> hice el mismo procedimiento con las fotos, y funciona perfecto
[03:45] <Jua1> pero con la musica no :S
[03:46] <Greybeard> posiblemente tienes que instalar los "restricted codecs"
[03:47] <Jua1> ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[03:47] <Greybeard> creo que si
[03:49] <Greybeard> en el "Mythbuntu Control Centre" hay boton que se llama "Proprietary codecs"
[03:49] <spamftw> hello world
[03:49] <Greybeard> hello spam
[03:50] <spamftw> haha
[03:50] <Jua1> acabo de activarlo
[03:50] <Greybeard> ok
[03:50] <spamftw> sooooo... i downloaded and installed Mythbuntu today and am having some issues
[03:50] <Jua1> me sorprende tu amabilidad
[03:50] <spamftw> hopefully someone can help me out, i've only used linux 2 or 3 times before
[03:51] <spamftw> (i know, i know, but i gotta start somewhere)
[03:52] <spamftw> greybeard, you think you can help me out?
[03:52] <Greybeard> entonces, puedes ver la musica?
[03:52] <Greybeard> possibly
[03:52] <Jua1> esta configurando el repositorio de medibuntu
[03:52] <Greybeard> ok
[03:53] <spamftw> once i got the machine booted up, "hardware devices" told me i needed to update my Nvidia card drivers
[03:53] <Greybeard> ok
[03:53] <spamftw> the program is a very nice gui app, so i clicked 'Enable' and the program looks as if its about to download driver
[03:53] <spamftw> s
[03:54] <spamftw> then i get a "failed to fetch http:// (blah,blah) .deb 404 not found
[03:54] <spamftw> i've tried a few times to download drivers myself and install, but i can't get it to work
[03:54] <Greybeard> is video working?
[03:54] <spamftw> defaintly, but i was hoping for some hardware acceleration
[03:54] <Greybeard> well, I mean is it working for MythTV playback
[03:55] <spamftw> havent tried yet
[03:55] <spamftw> its kinda hard for me to hookup to cable around here
[03:55] <Greybeard> well, it's probably just outdated URLs for the drivers or something
[03:55] <spamftw> right
[03:56] <spamftw> the file i got from nvidias website is a .run
[03:56] <Greybeard> tell the update manager to update itself
[03:56] <Greybeard> don't install it manually
[03:56] <spamftw> is there a button for that?
[03:56] <spamftw> ive already run update manager if thats what you think i should do
[03:57] <Greybeard> yeah, the "check button"
[03:57] <spamftw> well look at that, more updates
[03:57] <spamftw> im a 3rd year computer science major you know, if this fixes the issue i'll feel like a total ass
[03:57] <Greybeard> sometimes it's just too easy
[03:58] <spamftw> well, while im wating for these to install, is it true there isnt a free listings service anymore?
[03:58] <spamftw> you have to pay now
[03:58] <hads> Depends where you are.
[03:58] <spamftw> wisconsin
[03:59] <hads> (in the world)
[03:59] <Greybeard> for TV listings in the US, Schedules direct is the best (possibly only) choice
[03:59] <Greybeard> Schedules Direct <http://www.schedulesdirect.org/>
[03:59] <spamftw> right
[03:59] <spamftw> 20 a year i think it is
[03:59] <Greybeard> it's not much
[04:00] <Greybeard> and there's a 7 day free trial
[04:00] <spamftw> do you need a credit card to get the trial
[04:00] <Jua1> espero a que termines de hablar con la otra persona?
[04:00] <Greybeard> no es necesario
[04:01] <Jua1> bien
[04:01] <Jua1> para descartar un problema con smb
[04:01] <Greybeard> ok
[04:01] <Jua1> puse una ruta local, en un disco externo
[04:01] <Jua1> y tampoco puedo ver mi musica
[04:01] <spamftw> hads, you mind if i pm you?
[04:02] <Greybeard> puedes verlo con ls?
[04:03] <Jua1> ls /media/disk/Música perfecto
[04:03] <Jua1> puedo verlo bien en ubuntu
[04:03] <Jua1> es algun problema con el frontend
[04:03] <Jua1> pero no entiendo cual
[04:03] <Greybeard> y ﻿/media/disk/Música esta en el setup para mythmusic?
[04:03] <hads> spamftw: In the channel is fine
[04:03] <spamftw> ok
[04:04] <Jua1> si
[04:04] <Jua1> y hace el scan
[04:04] <spamftw> hads, what about the service that say windows media center uses, theres no way to use that?
[04:04] <Greybeard> puedes ver el log de mythfrontend?
[04:04] <hads> spamftw: I don't use Windows and am not in the USA so can't comment on either.
[04:05] <Jua1> donde puedo encontrarlo?
[04:05] <Greybeard> MS probably gets them from the same place as Schedules Direct
[04:06] <spamftw> any idea where that is
[04:06] <Greybeard> Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Music Settings
[04:06] <Greybeard> Schedules Direct gets their data from Tribune Media Services, as it says on the front page
[04:06] <spamftw> sorry
[04:07] <spamftw> greybeard, the drivers installed correctly thanks
[04:07] <Greybeard> good
[04:08] <Jua1> en Import Music, si pongo la ruta de media/disk/Música puedo ver los archivos
[04:08] <Jua1> Add all new?
[04:08] <Greybeard> no estoy seguro
[04:09] <Greybeard> creo que si
[04:09] <Jua1> acabo de ver que tengo 70 actualizaciones disponibles
[04:09] <Jua1> voy a instalarlars
[04:09] <Jua1> quizas sea un bug
[04:09] <Greybeard> en ﻿Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Music Settings -> General settings hay "Directory to hold music"
[04:09] <Jua1> si si, eso ya lo complete
[04:09] <spamftw> well, thanks again for your help... have a good night, or day whatever it is by you
[04:10] <Greybeard> no se que es actualizacion disponible

[04:12] <Jua1> where?
[04:12] <Greybeard> en "Player Settings"
[04:12] <Jua1> voy a buscarlo

[04:17] <Jua1> claro
[04:18] <Jua1> donde puedo encontrarlo?
[04:18] <Greybeard> "/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log"
[04:19] <Jua1> esta vacio completamente
[04:19] <Jua1> ah, no no
[04:19] <Greybeard> hmm
[04:19] <Jua1> tardo en cargar :D
[04:19] <Jua1> perdon
[04:19] <Jua1> ahora si

[04:22] <Jua1> jaja
[04:22] <Greybeard> y sobre musica?
[04:22] <Jua1> DB error music select directory id
[04:23] <Greybeard> puedes ponerlo en el pastebin?
[04:23] <Jua1> es que el log es otro pc
[04:23] <Greybeard> puedes usar SSH?
[04:25] <Jua1> no
[04:25] <Jua1> porque estoy usando bridged network en vmware
[04:25] <Greybeard> oh
[04:25] <Greybeard> no hay clipboard?
[04:25] <Jua1> momento!
[04:25] <Jua1> a ver...
[04:27] <Jua1> esperame un segundo por favor
[04:27] <Greybeard> ok
[04:28] <Jua1> sabes?
[04:28] <Greybeard> ?
[04:28] <Jua1> el log pesa 42 MB
[04:29] <Jua1> no es mucho?
[04:29] <Greybeard> que edad?
[04:29] <Greybeard> solo hoy?
[04:29] <Jua1> ja, si
[04:29] <Greybeard> si, es mucho
[04:29] <Jua1> el tamaño del log es 42 MB
[04:29] <Jua1> debe haber muchos errores
[04:30] <Greybeard> puedes copiar solamente parte del archivo
[04:30] <Jua1> bueno
[04:30] <Jua1> ahora lo hago
[04:30] <Greybeard> ok
[04:31] <Jua1> lo pego aqui mismo?
[04:31] <Greybeard> no, en el pastebin
[04:31] <Jua1> perdon
[04:31] <Jua1> no se lo que es eso
[04:31] <Greybeard> un momento
[04:32] <Greybeard> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/
[04:36] <Jua1> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m3fe46860
[04:37] <Greybeard> hmm, no puede conectar con MySQL
[04:37] <Greybeard> esta corriendo?
[04:37] <Jua1> pero yo no necesito de mysql o si?
[04:38] <termitor> hello
[04:38] <Greybeard> si los necesitas
[04:38] <Jua1> porque, creo que cometi un error
[04:38] <Jua1> quizas puedas explicarme
[04:38] <Jua1> yo quiero mythubuntu solo para reproducir via smb
[04:38] <Jua1> no necesito grabar tv
[04:38] <termitor> for use of coreavc and mplayer, i'm do compile new mplayer + patch ?
[04:38] <Greybeard> ok
[04:38] <Jua1> ni guia de programacion
[04:38] <Jua1> ni nada
[04:38] <Jua1> con el frontend es suficiente?
[04:38] <Greybeard> si entiendo
[04:39] <Greybeard> el frontend use MySQL tambien
[04:39] <Jua1> entonces debo haberlo configurado mal
[04:39] <Greybeard> esta corriendo MySQL?
[04:39] <Jua1> como puedo saberlo?
[04:40] <Greybeard> pgrep -l mysql
[04:41] <Jua1> 4775 msqld_safe
[04:41] <Greybeard> ok
[04:41] <Jua1> 4817 mysqld
[04:42] <Greybeard> puedes hacer /etc/cron.daily/optimize_mythdb.pl ?
[04:42] <Greybeard> termitor: does regular mplayer not keep up?
[04:42] <Jua1> ya lo hago
[04:43] <termitor> Greybeard: yes , not keep up (my english is very bad)
[04:44] <termitor> Greybeard: it's a core2duo 2ghtz
[04:44] <Greybeard> what resolution is the video?
[04:44] <Jua1> no existe la opcion dentro de cron.daily
[04:44] <termitor> Greybeard: 720p or 1080p when it's action scene  , mkv hd 8giga
[04:45] <Greybeard> I can play H.264 video 720p@24 on my Athlon64 X2 4800 using the regular mplayer with no problem
[04:45] <termitor> Greybeard: or for dvb-t hd (french )
[04:45] <Greybeard> maybe you have more demanding video than I do
[04:46] <termitor> not , it really laging , 1 frame/s no good
[04:47] <termitor> nobody have the mplayer + patch for dshowserve ubuntu package ?
[04:47] <Jua1> grey, creo que encontre el error
[04:47] <Jua1> que direccion ip debe ir en Master Backend?
[04:48] <Greybeard> en mythbuntu-control-centre, hay un opción en ¨Advanced Management" que se llama "Enable daily MythTV database optimization/repair"
[04:48] <Greybeard> termitor: you only get one frame per second?
[04:48] <Greybeard> I think you've got some other problem than the H.264 decoder
[04:49] <Greybeard> si solo hay una computadora, es 127.0.0.1
[04:49] <Jua1> igual que en local backend?
[04:49] <Greybeard> si
[04:49] <Jua1> eso puede ser el causante del error?
[04:50] <Greybeard> no creo que si
[04:50] <Greybeard> porque el error es con MySQL, no mythbackend
[04:51] <termitor> Greybeard: in the bad case
[04:51] <Greybeard> you can play other video fine?
[04:51] <termitor> yes
[04:52] <Greybeard> well, I don't know what's needed to use CoreAVC since I haven't needed it yet
[04:52] <termitor> Greybeard: it full hd movie !
[04:52] <Jua1> tambien vi que en storage groups antes habia creado accidentamente una entrada
[04:52] <Greybeard> I play 720p H.264 encodings of HDTV
[04:52] <Jua1> como puedo borrarla?
[04:52] <Greybeard> that may be less demanding than what you have
[04:52] <Greybeard> "d" ?
[04:53] <Greybeard> para borrar
[04:53] <Greybeard> oh "Del"
[04:53] <Greybeard> o "Del"
[04:53] <termitor> Greybeard: like stargate 45min 1.2g file ? but mkv have more bitrate , like 8giga for 120mins
[04:53] <Greybeard> well, MKV is a container
[04:53] <Greybeard> I haven't tried a file that big
[04:54] <termitor> Greybeard: ;-p
[04:54] <Greybeard> the files I play are MKV, but what matters is how the video is encoded
[04:54] <Greybeard> what you have is much higher bitrate, so that might be the difference
[04:54] <termitor> Greybeard: you whant test large files quality ?
[04:55] <Greybeard> you're saying you know where to get them?
[04:55] <Jua1> me sale un error que dice "No se pudo crear un fichero //.test - ¿el directorio es escribible? ¿Desea arreglar este problema?"  (test is my user)
[04:56] <Greybeard> de que programa?
[04:56] <Greybeard> de mythtv-setup?
[04:57] <termitor> http://tomtom2k5.free.fr/mkv/1080p/ Greybeard see here, it test file
[04:57] <Greybeard> la linea 13 en el paste es muy extraño
[04:57] <Greybeard> ok, thanks
[04:57] <Jua1> si de mythubuntu setup
[04:58] <Greybeard> but, you probably shouldn't mention infringing files here
[04:58] <Jua1> estoy maldito!
[04:58] <Jua1> deberia probar de reinstalar nuevamente?
[04:58] <termitor> Greybeard: see you cpu state , have 100% cpu someelse
[04:58] <Greybeard> talves
[04:58] <Greybeard> ok, I'll try it
[04:59] <Jua1> bien
[04:59] <Jua1> y que opcion deberia elegir?
[04:59] <Jua1> frontend solamente?
[04:59] <Greybeard> si
[04:59] <Jua1> hay varios frontend
[04:59] <Jua1> cual?
[04:59] <Greybeard> frontend solamente
[05:00] <Greybeard> cuales son los opciones?
[05:00] <Jua1> voy a hacerlo
[05:00] <Greybeard> es rapido en el VM?
[05:01] <Jua1> estaba confundido, frontend hay uno solo
[05:01] <Jua1> vmware es una maravilla en ubuntu
[05:01] <Jua1> estoy muy conforme
[05:02] <Greybeard> yo uso VirtualBox
[05:02] <Greybeard> es Software Libre
[05:02] <Jua1> yo tambien usaba virtualbox
[05:02] <Jua1> y entiendo la idea detras del software libre, grey
[05:02] <Greybeard> bien
[05:02] <Jua1> pero la verdad es que vmware es mas potente
[05:02] <Jua1> quizas en un tiempo virtualbox sea igual a vm
[05:02] <Jua1> pero por ahora es superior
[05:02] <Jua1> no te enojes conmigo, ja
[05:03] <Greybeard> cual es el problema con VirtualBox?
[05:03] <Jua1> me resultaba lento en ocasiones
[05:03] <Jua1> y tenia problemas para montar usb
[05:04] <Greybeard> ok
[05:05] <Jua1> que hora es alla?
[05:08] <termitor> Greybeard: you have some result ?
[05:08] <Greybeard> 00:08
[05:08] <Jua1> ah
[05:08] <Greybeard> yeah, I tried the Corpse Bride one
[05:08] <Greybeard> it played pretty smoothly
[05:08] <Jua1> aqui 1.08
[05:08] <Greybeard> one CPU was maxed out for a while
[05:09] <Greybeard> it looks like mplayer wasn't using both cores very effectively
[05:10] <termitor> Greybeard: YES , big probleme for me !
[05:11] <termitor> Greybeard: but coreavc do , no mplayer , but ffmpeg it not multithread
[05:13] <Jua1> grey
[05:13] <Jua1> estoy instalando nuevamente
[05:13] <Jua1> en una parte del wizard
[05:13] <Jua1> me dice mythtv related passwords
[05:14] <Jua1> y debo rellenar un campo Servidor MySQL
[05:14] <Jua1> que debo poner ahi?
[05:15] <Greybeard> right, it looks like ffmpeg's decoder only does multithreaded for MPEG 1/2
[05:15] <Greybeard> que dice ahor?
[05:15] <Jua1> tengo cuatro campos para completar
[05:16] <Jua1> servidor mysql
[05:16] <Jua1> base de datos mysql
[05:16] <termitor> ;c
[05:16] <Jua1> nombre de usuario mysql
[05:16] <Jua1> y contraseña de mysql
[05:16] <Jua1> base de datos dice mythconverg
[05:16] <Greybeard> hay defaults?
[05:16] <Jua1> y nombre de usuario dice mythtv
[05:17] <Jua1> esos son los defaults
[05:17] <Greybeard> si, es mythconverg para base de datos
[05:17] <Greybeard> localhost para computadora
[05:17] <Jua1> y un boton que dice test conection
[05:17] <Greybeard> mythtv para usario
[05:17] <Greybeard> ok
[05:18] <Jua1> conenections results: failed
[05:18] <Jua1> que puedo hacer?
[05:18] <Greybeard> oh, ahora yo se que es el problema
[05:18] <Jua1> de verdad=
[05:18] <Jua1> ?
[05:19] <Greybeard> tienes que instalar un backend y frontend
[05:19] <Jua1> no se puede instalar solamente el frontend?
[05:19] <Greybeard> y mysql
[05:19] <Greybeard> no, porque el frontend debe conectar con mysql y el backend
[05:20] <Jua1> y puedo instalar todo en 1 solo pc?
[05:20] <Greybeard> si
[05:20] <Jua1> bien
[05:20] <Jua1> go back wizard, ja
[05:21] <Jua1> ahora tengo muchas opciones
[05:21] <Jua1> backend primario con frontend
[05:21] <Jua1> backend secundario con frontend
[05:21] <Jua1> backend primario
[05:21] <Jua1> backend secundario
[05:21] <Greybeard> primario
[05:21] <Jua1> y frontend solamente
[05:22] <Jua1> creo que esa es la opcion que habia elegido la primera vez
[05:22] <Greybeard> ﻿backend primario con frontend
[05:22] <Jua1> mythtv service debo activarlo?
[05:23] <Greybeard> si
[05:23] <Greybeard> el frontend no funciona bien sin el backend
[05:24] <Jua1> set mysql database root password
[05:24] <Jua1> eso tambien?
[05:24] <Greybeard> puedes usar cualquier password
[05:24] <Jua1> bien, 123
[05:24] <Jua1> te confio el secreto, ja
[05:24] <Greybeard> no
[05:25] <Jua1> no?
[05:25] <Greybeard> no a nadie
[05:25] <Jua1> jaja, no pasa nada
[05:25] <Jua1> es solo una prueba
[05:26] <Jua1> bien
[05:26] <Jua1> ya comenzo la instalacion
[05:26] <Greybeard> bien
[06:57] <Tazsta|Desktop> hey guys any aussies here using shepherd as there grabber?
[06:58] <Greybeard> shepherd?
[06:58] <Tazsta|Desktop> its a xmltv grabber for australia
[06:58] <Greybeard> I guess you aussies don't mind perpetuating the stereotype that sheep are are everywhere down there
[06:59] <Greybeard> sounds like a lot more fun than Schedules Direct
[07:00] <Tazsta|Desktop> yeah it takes a little bit to setup
[09:35] <baalsgate> i have a problem that has just started the last couple of days , streaming to a remote front end just freezes after about 20mins
[09:36] <baalsgate> while this is very strange as it has been working where it would streem continualy for literaly days with no problems
[09:39] <baalsgate> also sometimes when i change channel the sound captured on the prv-150 is all scratchy , I change channel again and it must re init the card and its fine
[10:03] <hads> There's a bug in the driver for the PVR150 (ivtv) which causes the tinny audio issue.
[10:32] <baalsgate> is there  any patch ?
[11:07] <stevetv> in suffering really jerky live tv after upgrading from 8.03 via weekly builds?
[11:07] <stevetv> wondering if anyone could point me as to why
[11:10] <stevetv> 8.04 even :D
[11:52] <rockhound> hi everyone ... just tried to view my mythfrontend logs but it seems that they have not been written to since 3 months ... how do I enable them again?
[12:30] <rockhound> found it
[17:39] <Aquahallic> afternoon folks
[17:42] <tokabowla> Hey everyone.
[17:44] <tokabowla> I've burned the Mythbuntu 8.04 iso about 4 times & I keep getting "buffer i/o error on device fd0" errors everytime I boot.  Would there be some kind of hardware incompatibility that would cause this?
[17:47] <thatdood> bad drive on the target machine?
[17:47] <thatdood> have you tried using the drive you burned with, in the install target machine by chance?
[17:48] <tokabowla> I burned it on my laptop cd-rw drive.  The drive on my MC should be OK.  Never had an issue before, and I can boot to regular ubuntu live cd just fine.
[17:50] <tokabowla> I d/l the amd64 iso from via bittorrent.  corrupted?
[17:51] <tokabowla> The DVD-RW drive on my MC is less that 6 months old.
[17:52] <thatdood> once i had to install ubuntu on a machine, do a direct download of mythbuntu, burn it there with k3b, then boot to it and do the install.
[17:53] <thatdood> crazy i know, but I had no other choice.
[17:54] <thatdood> on a side note, i've just tried out the 8.10 alpha 4 on my intel quad core machine, and its pretty screwed up.  all kinds of problems in that release.
[17:54] <thatdood> at least for me
[17:55] <laga> then please report them.
[17:55] <thatdood> im embarassed to say this laga, but imma.... newb.  and dont wanna screw up the bug submission and look like an idiot.
[17:56] <tokabowla> You would think burning an ISO is... burning an iso!  I'll have to boot to a live ubuntu cd & burn it.
[17:59] <thatdood> you would certainly think so.  did you check the md5sum on the .iso you downloaded to what its supposed to be?
[18:04] <tokabowla> I tried but fastsum sucks.  Gotta find another.
[18:09] <tokabowla> Anyone know if mythbuntu has drivers for a Pixelview PlayTV Pro?
[18:12] <tokabowla> pixelview  pv-bt878p+ rev 10a
[18:37] <foxbuntu> tokabowla, I would guess so but...
[18:37] <foxbuntu> !google | tokabowla
[18:37] <Zinn> tokabowla: This seems like a question that you probably could have solved by looking the first few results from a Google search.  Try to make sure to do the appropriate research before asking a question ( http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ )
[18:43] <laga> rotfl
[18:44] <laga> foxbuntu: let's remove the last URL ;)
[18:44] <foxbuntu> laga, I didnt make it
[19:22] <tokabowla> Zinn: I did & it's still happening so that's why I can here.
[19:22] <tokabowla> came
[19:24] <tokabowla> 5th disk I've burned, Md5 checked OK, burned in Ubuntu, still getting "buffer i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0" when I try to boot from the CD.
[19:29] <tgm4883_laptop> tokabowla, remove your floppy drive?
[19:31] <tokabowla> Don't have one!
[19:31] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[19:32] <tgm4883_laptop> I wonder what fd0 is then?
[19:32] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[19:32] <tokabowla> checking my BIOS now...
[19:33] <tokabowla> Ah, floppy wasn't disabled.  let's see it fail when the BIOS has the drive disabled...
[19:34] <tokabowla> Now I get a Busybox prompt.  For Fxck sake!
[19:47] <tokabowla> Anyone know why it was fail to a initramfs prompt?
[20:54] <Egghead2> hey all
[20:54] <Egghead2> trying to setup a mythbuntu diskless server/client, anyone here done this ?
[21:00] <gabbernaster> I'm working on the same thing.
[21:00] <MythbuntuGuest40> hello world
[21:01] <Egghead2> grabber, when u setup the overlay and make the image , did u make another user?
[21:01] <gabbernaster> I didn't but I also have gotten everything working yet
[21:02] <gabbernaster> What problems are you having?
[21:02] <Egghead2> ie, the server box is myth5 (box that gonna make the image), im thinking i need to amke another user myth6, and then make image as myth6 instead
[21:02] <spamftw> i can tell you guys are busy, but i've got some issues with my new mythbuntu box and if anyone gets a chance to anwser let me know
[21:03] <Egghead2> did your ltsp-build-client go well?
[21:03] <tgm4883_laptop> !ask | spamftw
[21:03] <Zinn> spamftw: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[21:04] <gabbernaster> I tried a few times now.  None have gone without errors.  I have just updated my myth-control-centre to the hardy2 version and am currently trying a new build
[21:04] <Egghead2> grabber, well many, seems my client's lan boot doesnt want to see the dhcp of the server thru my router, to begin with
[21:04] <gabbernaster> Egg, how do you have your route and dhcp server setup?
[21:04] <spamftw> zinn, should i just ask my question then and check back every now and again for an anwser?
[21:05] <gabbernaster> router
[21:05] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, yes
[21:05] <Egghead2> but my server has two nic's in it, so i config the other nic to different subnet and the dhcp works, but the tftp isnt working after client connect
[21:05] <foxbuntu> !zinn | spamftw
[21:05] <Zinn> spamftw: I am a bot.  Like a woman, you have to know the right commands to get anything out of me.
[21:06] <Egghead2> grabber, the router is a netvanta 1224, the dhcp isnt running on it, its disabled
[21:06] <gabbernaster> Egg, do you have both your router and myth box running a dhcp server?
[21:06] <spamftw> Alright...I just set up my Mythbuntu machine, I have an ATI TV Wonder VE PCI tuner card and have sucsessfully scanned for channels and got program listings through SchedulesDirect. However, when ever I choose 'Watch TV' from frontend, the screen simply goes black for a sec, and then switches back to the frontend main screen
[21:07] <Egghead2> the dhcp setting off the server, i think are wiped out, i did an apt-get remove purge :(
[21:07] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, please pastebin your log file at /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
[21:07] <Egghead2> route , no dhcp
[21:07] <tgm4883_laptop> !pastebin | spamftw
[21:07] <Zinn> spamftw: 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.
[21:07] <Egghead2> mythbox yes to dhcp
[21:07] <tgm4883_laptop> !blackscreen
[21:07] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about blackscreen

[21:07] <Zinn> If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory.  It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory
[21:07] <tgm4883_laptop> there we go ;)
[21:07] <Egghead2> client will not see dhcp, but other computer's (ie win blows) does, wierd
[21:08] <spamftw> well thats a handy bot
[21:08] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, only handy if you know the commands
[21:08] <tgm4883_laptop> which apparenlty i don't ;)
[21:08] <spamftw> tgm4883, is there a friendly graphical way to change permissions
[21:08] <spamftw> or is it all terminal based?
[21:08] <spamftw> (this is only my 3rd or 4th time trying linux)
[21:08] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, terminal is easiest I think
[21:09] <spamftw> would you be willing to guide me through it
[21:09] <tgm4883_laptop> if you post your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log I can check to see if it's the issue
[21:10] <gabbernaster> Egg, when your client boots, does it get any dhcp info or any errors?  Does it show that it is trying to find a dhcp server?
[21:10] <spamftw> tgm what should i open with... ie whats the linux version of notepad
[21:11] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, do this first
[21:11] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo apt-get install mousepad
[21:11] <Egghead2> no errors, yes it sez error timout waiting for pxe responce, or somthing like that
[21:12] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, then do 'mousepad /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log'
[21:12] <spamftw> well tgm, that brings me to what will probably only annoy you more... the machine im on cant be connected to the TV and the internet at the same time
[21:12] <spamftw> i have managed to open the log though, and i am seeing a Opening file '/1002_(numbers).nuv' Permission denied
[21:12] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, how do you plan on getting channel data then?
[21:12] <spamftw> i already downloaded it, and have since moved the machine
[21:13] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, you know you will have to download it like every 2 weeks
[21:13] <spamftw> right, im moving .... its a long story but i understnad
[21:13] <tgm4883_laptop> ah ok
[21:13] <tgm4883_laptop> well then, um
[21:13] <tgm4883_laptop> sec
[21:14] <Egghead2> grabber, oops should have said, no errors in var/log using grep
[21:14] <Egghead2> but on client it times out waiting for dhcp addy
[21:15] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, do you have a usb key?
[21:15] <spamftw> yes
[21:15] <spamftw> wanna see the log for yourself?
[21:15] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[21:16] <gabbernaster> Egg, you said it works if you change the subnet of one of the nics in the server box?
[21:16] <Egghead2> grabber, yes, but
[21:16] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, post it to pastebin
[21:16] <tgm4883_laptop> !pastebin | spamftw
[21:16] <Zinn> spamftw: 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.
[21:17] <Egghead2> i think then, being on different subnet breaks the tftp or nfs share
[21:18] <gabbernaster> Egg, after you change the network information on one of the nics, have you tried restarting the inetd service to listen on the new address?
[21:18] <Egghead2> well on different sub, the dhcp to client sends a ip address correctly, tftp times out though
[21:18] <spamftw> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d3f46175b
[21:18] <spamftw> and im slowly understanding what happened
[21:19] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, yep, thats your problem
[21:19] <tgm4883_laptop> your recording directory is set to /
[21:19] <spamftw> when i was setting up, and it asked for a default directory, i simply hit enter and '/' was put in
[21:19] <tgm4883_laptop> which is very bad
[21:19] <spamftw> root
[21:19] <spamftw> yes
[21:19] <Egghead2> grabber, i do a sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart
[21:19] <spamftw> what should it be?
[21:19] <gabbernaster> Egg, try /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart  after you have the dhcp working to see if tftp will start working
[21:20] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, is this a default install of 8.04?
[21:20] <Egghead2> ill try that
[21:20] <spamftw> no really deafult
[21:21] <spamftw> i went to change it expecting a windows style choose a folder box
[21:21] <spamftw> and when that didnt come up i just hit enter
[21:21] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, what I meant was, did you do any special partitioning?
[21:21] <spamftw> which put it a '/'
[21:21] <Egghead2> i kinda wanted to find out why the dhcp isnt working on the main subnet, is there a diag too that could help withthis?
[21:22] <spamftw> no, not at all... i didnt even use the keyboard during the inital setup
[21:22] <spamftw> default install
[21:22] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, 8.04?
[21:23] <spamftw> yes
[21:23] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, how big is your hard drive?
[21:23] <spamftw> only a 40gb in right now, i got 3 more 250's ill add if everything seems to be working
[21:23] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, ok perfect
[21:24] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, change your storage dir to /var/lib/mythtv/recordings
[21:24] <gabbernaster> Egg, I don't know of any diag tools, but there should be a log file and a lease file that show all of the addresses that have been handed out.  You may also want to check the dhcp conf file to see what interfaces the service is listening on.
[21:24] <spamftw> one wec
[21:25] <Egghead2> grabber, cool ill do that, thanks for you help bud :)
[21:25] <spamftw> and im watching tv
[21:26] <spamftw> thanks tgm
[21:26] <gabbernaster> Egg, no problem
[21:27] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, np
[21:27] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, when you add new drives
[21:27] <spamftw> drivers for what?
[21:27] <spamftw> drive
[21:27] <spamftw> s
[21:27] <spamftw> yes?
[21:28] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, you need to partition them with XFS
[21:28] <spamftw> what if they're already full of media formatted ntfs?
[21:28] <thatdood> oh, i wanna hear this, i just installed a new 640GB hard drive and formatted it as xfs, wanna use it for my recordings dir
[21:30] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, if you already have a ntfs drive full of media then you could leave it like that
[21:30] <tgm4883_laptop> but you will get better performance with xfs
[21:30] <tgm4883_laptop> plus it handles large files bettere
[21:31] <spamftw> alright
[21:31] <spamftw> one more quick question
[21:31] <spamftw> when i get to the program guide the machine seems to be runing a litle slow
[21:31] <spamftw> is there anything i can do about that
[21:31] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, in live tv?
[21:32] <spamftw> right, when i go for the full screen program guide with the live tv in the corner
[21:32] <tgm4883_laptop> yep, theres a work around for that
[21:32] <tgm4883_laptop> it's due to the interlacer
[21:32] <tgm4883_laptop> sec, let me grab it
[21:34] <tgm4883_laptop> !bug 229949
[21:34] <Zinn> Bug 229949 in mythbuntu "guide slow and unresponsive" [Low, Confirmed] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/229949
[21:35] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, there is a deb posted that will fix that until it filters it's way into the packages
[21:35] <tgm4883_laptop> http://darkstar6262.googlepages.com/libmyth-0.21-0_0.21.0fixes16838-0ubu.deb
[21:35] <thatdood> heh, thx tgm, my wife was just bitching about that
[21:36] <spamftw> could you resend that last ling tgm
[21:36] <tgm4883_laptop> http://darkstar6262.googlepages.com/libmyth-0.21-0_0.21.0fixes16838-0ubu.deb
[21:36] <spamftw> link
[21:36] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, ^^^
[21:36] <tgm4883_laptop> thatdood, it's due to the deinterlacer
[21:36] <tgm4883_laptop> you can check to see if it's the issue by disabling it
[21:36] <tgm4883_laptop> let me see which deinterlacer it is
[21:37] <spamftw> tgm... you are not gonna like me
[21:37] <spamftw> how do you install a .deb
[21:37] <tgm4883_laptop> it's the bob deinterlacer
[21:37] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, sudo dpkg -i
[21:43] <spamftw> note to self, do not hit right arrow 200 or so times in the program guide
[21:43] <spamftw> it seems to recall every stroke
[21:44] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, yea it will catch up
[21:44] <spamftw> i know im taking advantage of you by this point but is mythbuntu capable of playing hd .mkv files
[21:45] <foxbuntu> spamftw, you have to add the file type for the interal player, but yes
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, as long as your machine is up to snuff
[21:46] <tgm4883_laptop> and like foxbuntu said, you have to add the file type
[21:47] <spamftw> i believe the program guide just locked, i think i may have to restart the machine
[21:47] <tgm4883_laptop> although I prefer xine, you would have to add the file type for that too
[21:47] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, wait
[21:47] <tgm4883_laptop> well
[21:47] <tgm4883_laptop> do you have a keyboard hooked up
[21:47] <spamftw> yes
[21:48] <foxbuntu> ctrl+alt+bksp
[21:48] <tgm4883_laptop> try ^^
[21:48] <tgm4883_laptop> if that doesn't work
[21:48] <tgm4883_laptop> then try
[21:48] <tgm4883_laptop> Holding down Alt and SysRq, then press REISUB
[21:49] <spamftw> nice
[21:49] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, either of those work?
[21:50] <spamftw> ctrl alt backspace
[21:50] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, FYI, hitting the reset button should always be the dead last resort
[21:50] <tgm4883_laptop> as you will most likely have to fix your db if you do that
[21:52] <spamftw> i swear to you this is the final question
[21:52] <tgm4883_laptop> thats what you think ;)
[21:52] <spamftw> before i had tv working, id downloaded a xvid avi
[21:52] <spamftw> when i tried to play it, the audio slowly became out of sync
[21:53] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, sounds like a bad avi
[21:53] <tgm4883_laptop> dropped frames
[21:53] <spamftw> when i tried to watch an internet stream (apple trailers) everything worked fine
[21:53] <foxbuntu> yay for apple trailers!
[21:53] <spamftw> im not sure it was, it was a legal video from a fairly reliable source
[21:53] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, try a different avi from a different source
[21:53] <tgm4883_laptop> what are you system specs
[21:53] <foxbuntu> spamftw, could be the deinterlacer/hardware you are using
[21:54] <spamftw> nvidia geforce 4 mx (i know), 512 mb ram (again, i know), 1.2 ghz processor
[21:54] <spamftw> ati tv wonder ve (possibly the worst card ever created)
[21:55] <foxbuntu> spamftw, Im going with your hardware
[21:56] <spamftw> what do you think specifically foxbuntu
[21:56] <foxbuntu> overall its too low
[21:56] <foxbuntu> ram is ok
[21:56] <foxbuntu> but graphics/proc are too slow
[21:57] <spamftw> thats what i was worried about
[21:57] <foxbuntu> it would be alright if it was a frontend only for SD video only
[21:58] <spamftw> see, the other machine i could use is a laptop, so the video on that one would be awfully poor aswell
[21:58] <foxbuntu> depends on the card
[21:58] <spamftw> 2.0ghz though, with 2gb ram
[21:59] <foxbuntu> its not Windowz 2G ram doesnt make a llot of difference in a Mythbox until you grow it to a super overkill system like mine
[21:59] <spamftw> lol
[21:59] <foxbuntu> 1.25TB of storage, 9 tuners, 3 backends...
[22:00] <spamftw> 9 tuners
[22:00] <foxbuntu> like I said
[22:00] <foxbuntu> super overkill
[22:01] <spamftw> do usb tuners work well?
[22:01] <foxbuntu> spamftw, some have better support than others
[22:02] <spamftw> on second though foxbuntu, are you sure my hardware is the problem
[22:02] <spamftw> i ran this machine with vista media center for a short (annoying) while, and after downloading the right codecs all my videos played well
[22:02] <spamftw> and im sure thats more of a resource hog than myth
[22:03] <foxbuntu> spamftw, the video playback is handled much different
[22:03] <spamftw> damn
[22:04] <spamftw> the only reason i cant use media center, is that my tv tuner isnt supported
[22:05] <spamftw> maybe i'll give xp media center a try.... hopefully i can get some drivers working for the card
[22:05] <foxbuntu> you dont want MCE anyways :)
[22:06] <spamftw> lol, why's that
[22:06] <foxbuntu> because Myth is way better once its setup
[22:06] <tgm4883_laptop> spamftw, we could test the avi and see if it works better here
[22:07] <spamftw> ill find you the link
[22:07] <tgm4883_laptop> featurewise, mythtv is more complete
[22:07] <tgm4883_laptop> bloat wise, MCE gets the nod
[22:07] <spamftw> lol
[22:08]  * tgm4883_laptop will not go back to windows

[22:08] <spamftw> gotta grab my power cord
[22:08] <tgm4883_laptop> heh
[22:08] <tgm4883_laptop> revision 3
[22:09] <spamftw> i needed an avi to test, and thats the only place i could think of with legal video
[22:10] <spamftw> im gonna grab and external with some of my downloaded vids and try thouse
[22:10] <spamftw> those
[22:10] <tgm4883_laptop> revision 3 is what spurred me to start packaging mythnettv
[22:12] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu, you want to try that ^^.  I've got some slow internet so it will take me awhile to grab
[22:13] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, uh...in a bit
[22:13] <foxbuntu> Im trying to fix the cronjob in apple trailers quickly
[22:13] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[22:14] <foxbuntu> alright, I will push that up if the cron doesnt fail tonight
[22:15] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, ok I will pull the latest and try it on my system
[22:16] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, send me the rss feed link for rev3
[22:16] <foxbuntu> Im too lazy to look it up
[22:17] <spamftw> dont worry about it guys
[22:17] <spamftw> ill try a different video, i got another drive hooked up
[22:17] <foxbuntu> spamftw, although related, its not for you
[22:17] <thatdood> when working with multiple tuners, is it best to get one card up and running, then add the others?
[22:18] <foxbuntu> thatdood, sure if your not really sure how to set it up
[22:19] <thatdood> i tried first with doing all 3 at the start, and had some issues.  resetting it up with just 1 card atm
[22:20] <spamftw> my videos work
[22:20] <spamftw> must be the codec they use
[22:20] <spamftw> forget mce, looks like i'll be using mythtv this year
[22:28] <MythbuntuGuest77> When I just scanned for channels on my hauppauge pvr-150, it only found channels from 2-13.  Makes me think it's set to anntenna instead of cable (which it should be).  Any ideas?
[22:41] <spamftw> is anyone aware of an easy way to enable svideo out on a Geforce 4 mx
[22:42] <spamftw> i looked in display settings and there doesnt seem to be any information about multiple outpus
[22:47] <spamftw> is anyone aware of an easy way to enable svideo out on a Geforce 4 mx
[22:47] <spamftw> woops, didnt mean to resend that
[23:05] <spamftw> !svideo
[23:05] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about svideo
[23:05] <spamftw> !s video

[23:06] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about kick spamftw
[23:27] <MythbuntuGuest11> I'm getting "cannot create a file //.test" on the backed setup.  Shouldn't I have permission by default?
[23:44] <foxbuntu_laptop> MythbuntuGuest11, not to write files in your storage group to /
[23:47] <MythbuntuGuest11> Well that's the default, so that's dumb.  Should I create a new default folder?
[23:48] <foxbuntu_laptop> thats not the default storage group, and either create a storage location with the correct permissions or use /var/lib/mythtv/recordings
