[01:46] <riegersn> vbman11_, do you have firestarter installed?
[01:47] <riegersn> vbman11_, try it out with firestarter running, i do that often so it alerts me if anything is blocked, then you know for sure if its your ip tables or not

[04:47] <CNLiberal> the sounds works perfectly for my TV and for my music

[06:09] <Androktasie> Hello, I'm trying to install Mythbuntu 8.04 AMD64 onto a used hard drive that used to contain one NTFS partition.  I've gone through the installer 3 times now, custom and standard, each time selecting "use the whole disk", and after it installs and ejects the CD I will reboot only to find that the BIOS won't load GRUB.  Gives an "Invalid partition table" error.  Is there an easy way to force...
[06:09] <Androktasie> ...this disk to become bootable?
[06:14] <buntunub> sounds like your issue is more ubuntu related
[06:15] <buntunub> mythbuntu is really just a specialized version of xubuntu
[06:15] <buntunub> ie.. its xubuntu with a mythbuntu theme and mythbuntu control center
[06:17] <buntunub> try installing ubuntu or xubuntu and then use synaptic to install the mythbuntu control center and do what you need from there
[06:18] <Tuv0k> mythbuntu is really just a specialized version of xubuntu, uh no
[06:21] <hads> ?
[06:23] <Androktasie> to be honest id much rather just have mythbuntu instead of the full ubuntu + control center.  there are a lot of packages that i wouldn't use and don't want to have to sort through.
[06:24] <buntunub> cool. do that then
[06:24] <buntunub> lots of options with linux
[06:26] <Androktasie> that's what im trying to do though... install linux and have it wipe out everything.  so far it's installed, it's wiped out everything, but it will not load grub
[06:26] <Androktasie> never had this issue with 7.10
[06:27] <buntunub> an invalid partition error suggests that there is a problem with the way you partitioned your setup
[06:27] <Androktasie> it was set to "use the whole disk"
[06:28] <buntunub> i got that so perhaps you could try manually partitioning instead
[06:28] <Androktasie> what options should i use?  is there a decent tutorial i should look at?
[06:28] <buntunub> from the livecd use gparted
[06:29] <buntunub> setup a /, /boot, /home, and some folks like a /var too
[06:29] <buntunub> oh and swap
[06:30] <buntunub> for mythtv i setup a seperate partition just for recordings as well
[06:30] <buntunub> works exceedingly well that
[06:31] <Androktasie> loading gparted now from a spare disc
[06:31] <Androktasie> its not included on the livecd surprisingly
[06:31] <buntunub> i think mythtv defaults to /var for recordings and livetv so you need to be careful there
[06:32] <buntunub> once you get all set up you need to check out the mythtv wiki
[06:32] <Androktasie> before i had it set to a RAID0 array i had going on.  im pretty much just trying to recreate my old setup, since the last one had a hdd failure
[06:32] <buntunub> its not so easy to setup
[06:33] <buntunub> gparted will be able to detect hdd issues pretty quick
[06:36] <Androktasie> right now im looking at what mythbuntu's installer set up by default.  i see /dev/sda1 as ext3 ( / ) with 140GB, /dev/sda2 as extended, and under that /dev/sda5 as linux-swap
[06:36] <Androktasie> no flags are set.  should i mark sda1 as boot?
[06:36] <buntunub> hard to say.. i dont know your drive setups
[06:37] <Steven_M> hi all, I'm about install mythbuntu again, I wan't to install grub on a boot partition instead of mbr. What size should the boot partition be and is ext3 a suitable filesystem?
[06:37] <Steven_M> wan't=want
[06:37] <buntunub> i have /boot, swap, and / on sda
[06:38] <Androktasie> butnub: just a 160 as the main mythbuntu drive, and two drives in raid as ext3 for the recordings.
[06:38] <buntunub> /home, /var, and /opt on seperate drives
[06:39] <buntunub> k so you have one primary drive and the rest for dumping stuff into
[06:40] <buntunub> for that i would put /boot, swap, /, and possibly /home
[06:41] <buntunub> Steven_M: 100 Megs is usually good for /boot and ext3 is fine
[06:57] <Androktasie> i think i figured out what was happening... mythbuntu was installing grub to the MBR of the wrong drive
[06:57] <Steven_M> buntunub: sorry I made  a  mistake I'm not talking about a boot partition I just mean a seperate partition for grub
[07:00] <Steven_M> so that it doesn't override the grub of my other distro
[07:09] <buntunub> thats weird
[07:10] <Steven_M> buntunub: what's weird?
[07:11] <buntunub> never had ubuntu do that to me before
[07:12] <buntunub> but i usually set a separate /boot partition
[07:23] <Steven_M> ahh ok
[07:23] <susa24> hello
[07:24] <susa24> i have mythbuntu installed and i have a couple of problems i cannot sort out on it
[07:25] <susa24> first of all is their a way of inserting a dvd or cd in the drive and automatically copying the contents of the disk to a specific location, and sort them into Video, Music etc..?
[07:26] <buntunub> susa24: there is but you have to set mythtv up for that
[07:26] <buntunub> see the mythtv wiki for details on how to
[07:27] <susa24> ok so u saying u cannot do it with mythbuntu u must use mythtv?
[07:28] <buntunub> you can do it in linux via scripts if you dont want to use mythtv or mytharchive
[07:30] <susa24> could you please point me in the right direction
[07:30] <susa24> ive been searching for a long time
[07:31] <buntunub> you can google for a script that someone may have written and posted for that sort of thing or you check to see if there is an app that has those options like possibly k3b or brasero
[07:32] <buntunub> if you want to learn some bash basics you can write the script yourself
[07:33] <susa24> k will have a look
[07:33] <susa24> thanks
[07:33] <buntunub> np i know it can be frustrating sometimes
[08:29] <susa24> hello people i have a Twinhad DTV-T, is it possible to use a different remote for it?
[08:29] <susa24> such as Logitech Harmony 525 Advanced Univeral Remote
[08:30] <susa24> or any other
[08:44] <susa24> anyone plz
[12:05] <MythbuntuGuest38> -nice stevetv
[12:05] <stevetv> :)
[12:05] <stevetv> hi
[13:05] <susa24> hello
[13:05] <susa24> anyone active at the moment
[13:06] <laga> maybe
[13:07] <susa24> hi laga
[13:08] <susa24> can u please tell me if the Logitech Harmony 525 remote works with MythBuntu
[13:08] <susa24> ?
[13:10] <laga> it's an universal remote, so it ought to work if it's configured properly
[20:00] <Dispader> Happy Labor Day, all.
[22:38] <MythbuntuGuest49> hi
