[00:26] <superm1> hey kees if you get a sec, i'm looking for sponsorship on something prior to FF.  (As an added benefit, its !lirc :)) bug 261665
[00:26] <Zinn> Bug 261665 in hal (Ubuntu) "Package new libsmbios upstream version 2.0.3" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/261665
[00:28] <kees> superm1: hehe
[00:29] <kees> superm1: reading it, one sec
[00:29] <superm1> just the two parts out of main, i'll upload pommed after the other two would clear
[00:30] <kees> superm1: is there an API bump?  (why the rebuilds?)
[00:30] <superm1> yeah new binary packages
[00:30] <superm1> libsmbios2 instead of libsmbios1
[00:31] <kees> ah, so it has to get through NEW before we can rebuild hal/pommed
[00:31] <superm1> well hal i bumped the build depends
[00:32] <superm1> but pommed doesn't explicitly depend on it from what i see
[00:32] <kees> vim seems to think multi-line Build-Deps aren't valid.  hmpf
[00:34] <superm1> well that's how they were before at least, and i'm hoping to avoid too much delta to debian, they're just slow to adopt newer packages
[00:37] <kees> superm1: yup, not an issue -- more of a head-scratcher on vim.
[00:37] <kees> superm1: so, you've dropped libsmbiosxml*
[00:37] <kees> was anything using it?
[00:37] <superm1> well upstream dropped it actually
[00:37] <kees> heh, okay
[00:37] <superm1> no more libraries are produced
[00:38] <kees> I love these empty maintainer scripts in the old package.  :)
[00:38] <kees> are all the cstring changes in the current upstream now?
[00:39] <superm1> if debian continues to be unresponsive to newer versions, i'll just adopt this as maintaining in ubuntu myself probably
[00:39]  * kees nods
[00:39] <superm1> and clean a lot of that up
[00:40] <kees> the postinst can be removed -- debhelper already calls ldconfig
[00:40] <kees> but I get your point about lowering the debian delta.
[00:40] <superm1> i probably should have just attached a debdiff to point out the amount of delta i suppose
[00:40] <kees> interdiff -p1 is my friend.  :)
[00:41] <kees> yeah, okay, this looks okay to me.  I assume you've already tested this with hal, etc?
[00:41] <superm1> yeah i tested it on one laptop here
[00:42] <superm1> just basic bios reading functions and such
[00:42]  * kees nods
[00:43] <kees> cool, I'm building it now and will upload.  :)  ping me (or pitti maybe?) once the archive admins have let is past NEW, and we can get hal and pommed rebuilt.
[00:43] <superm1> okay will do.  thanks :)
[00:43] <kees> thanks for getting it updated!  :)
[00:44] <kees> you might want to report the gcc warnings to upstream, too.  nice to have them fixed.
[01:31] <kees> superm1|away: it's FTBFS :(
[01:31] <kees> bin-supported/dellMediaDirectCtl.cpp:206: error: impossible constraint in 'asm'
[02:10] <MythbuntuGuest27> how do i create a symlink to enable video view in mythweb??
[02:11] <superm1> kees, i did a build locally with no issues on i386?
[02:11] <superm1> it doesn't build on anything but i386/amd64/lpia
[02:13] <superm1> kees, https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsmbios/2.0.3-0ubuntu1/+build/701925
[02:13] <superm1> kees, and https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsmbios/2.0.3-0ubuntu1/+build/701923
[02:14] <superm1> kees, i'll let upstream know about these other arch's though
[02:15] <superm1> most of the code isn't applicable to non x86 stuff fortunately
[02:17] <MythbuntuGuest27> anyone got the answer for me, anyone, anyone??? :)
[02:20] <kees> superm1: lpia failed, though, it seems.
[02:20] <superm1> kees, no it didn't? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17105164/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-lpia.libsmbios_2.0.3-0ubuntu1_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
[02:21] <superm1> kees, regarding notifying upstream about the gcc warnings, it's a moot point. there is an effort going on to refactor it in C rather than C++
[02:22] <kees> superm1: erk, I swear I saw an email go by for lpia.  ah, nevermind then.  :)
[02:22] <superm1> i was expecting the other arch's to fail since i thought some assembly got introduced recently
[02:53] <abarber> i'm having trouble with an ir blaster
[02:53] <abarber> anyone use one?
[03:16] <acrousey> hi, i'm wondering what kind of hardware i should get to run Mythbunty. I have an older computer. It has a 750GB hard drive, but the rest is very unimpressive. It has a pentium 3 1GHz processor, no video card besides the integrated one, and 512MB RAM. Is there a way to capture TV with it?
[03:23] <abarber> need a capture card
[03:24] <acrousey> Would i need a video card to watch it on a TV after I capture it?
[03:29] <abarber> you need it to capture it
[03:30] <abarber> you can send to a TV through video card or mobo
[04:42] <pteague> i took my video card out & i'm having absolutely no problems...  only now i don't have a tv out :(
[04:42] <MythbuntuGuest32> Does anyone know how to change the card type for the bttv module?  The autodetect is wrong.
[04:43] <pteague> still not getting that to work? :(
[04:45] <abarber> pteague, just use vga or dvi on mobo
[04:45] <pteague> there's vga on mobo, but that won't work with my prehistoric tv
[04:46] <abarber> vga to s-vid?
[04:46] <pteague> which requires a coax tv out...
[04:46] <abarber> you were using coax?
[04:46] <abarber> hahahaha
[04:46] <abarber> oops
[04:46] <abarber> upgrade
[04:46] <abarber> asap
[04:46] <pteague> yeah, to replace my tv with an appropriate sized flat screen will cost me at least $2k usd
[04:49] <abarber> vizio ftw
[04:50] <pteague> vizio?
[04:51] <abarber> oh wow
[04:51] <abarber> where are you from?
[04:52] <pteague> us
[04:56] <abarber> vizio is sold by costco
[04:56] <abarber> very cheap, very awesome TVs
[04:59] <pteague> ok, maybe it wasn't that much...
[04:59] <pteague> if i've calculated this right... if it's a 16:9 i need a 33" & if it's a 16:10 i need a 30"
[05:00] <abarber> buy vizio
[05:00] <pteague> & so i was wrong in my remember of the price
[05:01] <pteague> s/remember/remembering
[05:15] <Alcomposer> pteague: why not get a cheep viewsonic?
[05:16] <Alcomposer> They have a 28
[05:16] <Alcomposer> 28" for about 600 USD
[05:19] <pteague> it must be the same height as my current tv or it's not worth wasting the money on it
[05:21] <pteague> sorry, already did the wide screen monitor & got overly frustrated at the smaller heightwise resolution
[05:23] <abarber> yeah
[05:24] <abarber> i hate widescreen monitors
[05:27] <Alcomposer> I got a 28" Viewsonic- as a replacement for my old TV- it was the same height size....  It is actually quite large in the room- and as an added bonus its 1080 HD- and it has just about every sort of video input at the back- HDMI, (DVI), VGA, svideo, component... just fantastic for $600,... and the picture is clear.   I suppose that there are some really nice LCD TV's comming out- but not anywhere near that price point
[11:14] <frink_> hey folks
[14:22] <jphillip> !hi | frink_
[14:22] <Zinn> frink_: Thanks for being polite.  But we are so dang awesome at solving problems that we wish you would just ask your question.  Thanks.
[14:25] <frink_> Zinn: no really, I wa sjust saying hello. I have no question.
[14:26] <frink_> I am so awesome that I do not need to ask questions :)
[14:26]  * frink_ can use google and read code
[14:26] <hads> Good comeback
[14:30] <frink_> ;-)
[14:30] <Lemont> wow, theres a lot of people in here
[14:30] <jphillip> lots of sleeping people
[14:30] <Lemont> aw
[14:33] <Lemont> How does one go about getting mythbuntu to run on a TV instead of a monitor? I'm basically having a "multiple monitor" problem. I have my hdtv plugged up to my video card's dvi port, but myth is only sending my tv the top right of the frame. Additionally, the signal is only 480p (according to my TV). I just have no resolution adjustment for my dvi port on my card, and I think that that is the problem.
[14:33] <Lemont> *not top right of the fram, top left
[14:37] <jphillip> Lemont how is it hooked up to the tv?
[14:38] <Lemont> out dvi port on nvidia mx440SE, over a dvi to hdmi cable and into my tv's hdmi port
[14:40] <Lemont> It just seems like my dvi port is getting a copy of the signal going to my vga out, instead of having its own properties - like resolution
[14:40] <Lemont> *as it would in windows
[14:43] <jphillip> it is only plugged into the TV, or into multiple display devices?
[14:44] <Lemont> it is plugged into a tv on the dvi port, and an lcd monitor running 1024x768 on the vga port
[14:45] <Lemont> in ubuntu, should two monitors each have their own controls/settings, assuming that they are installed correctly?
[14:47] <jphillip> yes but it might not be able to detect the settings from both easily
[14:47] <jphillip> Lemont try powering down, unplugging the vga and powering back up, see what it does
[14:48] <jphillip> you can also get some TV's/Cables that are a pain in the butt and don't send edid data properly so it will default to an incorrect resolution
[14:48] <jphillip> one of mine does this so I had to go and hardcode everything for it into xorg.conf
[14:49] <Lemont> jphillip: that results in no change at all. The resolution is still 1024x768, and the tv is only getting the top left of the frame
[14:50] <Lemont> if it helps... it all runs correctly when using xp pro
[14:50] <Lemont> all same hardware I mean
[14:53] <jphillip> have you modified your xorg.conf at all?
[14:53] <Lemont> I have not.
[14:55] <jphillip> Lemont are you running the propper nvidia/ati graphics drivers?
[14:56] <Lemont> Please elaborate on "proper"
[14:57] <Lemont> I'm running a driver that ubuntu used automatically; not any proprietary driver
[14:59] <jphillip> Lemont try the proprietary ones, open the driver manager and let it install whatever is detected
[15:00] <Lemont> ok, I will try that over lunch when I can run to my house. I will post results in here asap.
[15:00] <Lemont> Thanks for the help jphillip
[15:00] <jphillip> no problem
[15:00] <Lemont> now how does one get to the driver manager?
[15:01] <Lemont> applications >> system >> settings ?
[15:20] <jphillip> I don't recall off the top of my head, its somewhere in the menu system
[17:11] <slundell> MY HD sounds like it reads like mad, but olny when it is "idle". I have tried two different HDs, and both 8.04 and 8.04.1
[17:14] <Lemont> scsi?
[17:36] <slundell> SATA
[17:48] <thatdood> "idle"... so the backend isn't running on that system?
[17:49] <thatdood> i had something similar the other day, wasn't doing anyting on the system and my hard drive was going nuts.   did a tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log   and the log was filling up with errors like crazy
[17:51] <thatdood> pages and pages of "MythSocket(e67290:-1): writeStringList: Error, called with unconnected socket."
[18:33] <slundell> thatdood: That seemed to be it... Lots of errors were logged because mthconverg did not exist
[19:00] <Lemont> I have a video card that is malfunctioning, so I want to try using a proprietary driver, instead of the generic on that ubuntu is using currently. How do I change that driver? I do not see how in Applications > System >  Hardware Drivers
[20:49] <squish102> i built a new htpc and would like to install mythtv. I don't have a cdrom in it at the moment. is there any way i can do the install from a usb thumb drive?
[20:50] <laga> yes
[20:50] <laga> you can load the live disk from an usb thumb drive, check the ubuntu wiki for instructions
[20:52] <squish102> thanks
[20:52] <squish102> is that ubuntu or mythbuntu? laga
[20:52] <laga> is what ubuntu or mythbuntu?
[20:54] <squish102> istall ubuntu or mythbuntu?
[20:54] <laga> mythbuntu
[20:55] <squish102> ok so look on ubuntu's wiki to install mythbuntu from thumb drive
[20:55] <squish102> i got it
[20:55] <squish102> im slow
[20:56] <laga> ;)#
[21:31] <khaije1> hey ladies and gents
[21:32] <khaije1> i'm setting up myth now for the first time
[22:40] <khaije1> using hpg-150 i'm not getting any tv, but i also don't have a schdule guide set up yet, is the guide necessary to get any tv? i'm a little lost
[22:58] <bobbob1016> I have some HD movies I'm trying to play, and they are choppy.  I have a 3.2ghz HT P4, and an ATI x300 series card.  They play fine if I launch them from thunar in mplayer, but not in the Myth Frontend, any ideas?
[22:58] <bobbob1016> They are playing off of a local hard drive too.
[23:42] <Aquahallic> evenin' folks
[23:43] <Aquahallic> I used to run a version of mythtv way back that had a mame plugin....
[23:43] <Aquahallic> is there a mame plugin for mythbuntu?
