ZinnPlease 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.01:22
tgm4883_laptopMythbuntuGuest95, you will catch far more answers if you ask your question01:23
tgm4883_laptopUsually we are so good that we can help you without you even asking your question, but Miss Cleo went on vacation this weekend so we are unable to read your mind01:24

Steven_Mhi all, I've just got mythbuntu working, which I'm really happy about, however livetv seems to be really jumpy, even though my card has a hardware mpeg 2 encoder. (note I only have analogue tv) Any ideas why?06:38

susa24hello all10:18
susa24i am using the Logitech Harmony 525 remote control and on Mythbuntu the control only seems to work when you assign keys on the mythbuntu frontend. Thing is it uses keyboard commands. Is their any way of using the remote control commands?10:20

quentusrexIs there a way to see which packages are customized by mythbuntu?10:51
quentusrexI'm trying to find a way to easily convert an Ubuntu 8.04 install to mythbuntu10:51

tim__I just installed MythBuntu (full install.. front and back).  I'm trying to figure out configuration, but it claims it can't communicate w/backend.  Asks if it's running.  Not sure where to go from here.18:28
superm1tim__, check if it's running :)18:41
superm1and look in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log for errors18:41
superm1most likely related to permissions18:41
superm1on your recording groups.18:41
anax83Hello everybody20:11
anax83i have some issues installing mythbuntu.20:11
anax83i would like to install it to my via epia m90020:11
anax83is there a non graphical installer?20:11
superm1eg alternate ccd20:11
superm1cd20:11
superm1yes20:12
anax83because the splash screen where you can normally choose the boot method of the live cd, cannot be displayed correctly20:12
anax83which number has the entry to install non graphical?20:12
anax83i cannot see it, so i have to choose it blindfolded20:13
superm1oh, you need the different cd to do it that way20:13
superm1safe graphics mode is another option for you though too20:13
jphillipsafe graphics might be the 3rd, but I cannot remember for sure20:16
anax83superm1: when i simply push enter, the x version is loading, but when i double click the installer, it lasts about 5 minutes until it starts the install application20:16
anax83what is safe graphics? is it x too or curses?20:16
anax83do you guys have any experience with using the dbox2 as the video input? i have a modded hacked dbox2 with neutrino and would like to use it as video card? is it a big deal to configure that?20:27
lagai havent tried it in ages20:28
lagajanneg had my dbox2, he wrote a channel scanner i believe20:28
lagaso it should be quite easy now20:28
superm1anax83, safe graphics is still X20:29
superm1just w/ vesa20:29
lagasuperm1: have you had your presentation alreadyß20:29
superm1yup20:30
lagasad, i missed it20:31
anax83laga: ok thx a lot20:31
anax83superm1: downloading the alternate iso atm, x just hangs at the installer20:32
superm1laga, well there are logs20:32
lagasuperm1: yeah, but now i can't ask insane questions20:32
superm1laga, wasn't too exciting imo20:32
superm1yeah i would've preferred insane questions20:32
superm1there was only one that really made me think20:33
lagahehe20:33
anax83a question related to the via-chipsets: do you know if the unichrome drivers are supported, so that mythbuntu uses the hardware-based mpeg2 chip?20:33
lagawell, i kept asking stuff like "what is a distroseries", "what is a reusable model" during cprov's soyuz session ;)20:33
superm1hehe, oh man i wish i knew there was a soyuz session20:34
superm1i would've attended that20:34
superm1anax83, yeah they are20:35
superm1laga, any other ones worth attending?20:35
lagalet me check the schedule20:35
lagai only read dholbach's blog postings20:35
lagadoes canonical pay him? he seems to do a good job20:35
lagasuperm1: introduction to bzr, but i missed that too20:36
lagasuperm1: bzr for packaging maybe, or introduction to PPAs20:37
lagaalthough i'd prefer stuff like "do awesome stuff with PPAs"20:37
superm1dholbach does work for canonical yes20:37
superm1i dont know what he does nowadays now20:37
superm1*now=though20:37
superm1introduction to stuff is usually meh.  i want advanced XYZ20:37
lagasuperm1: "how to avoid making archive admins unhappy"20:38
lagathat sounds good20:38
laga"ask matt zimmerman"20:38
lagahum20:38
lagahe used to maintain the mythtv packages, maybe we can harrass him about that20:38
lagasuperm1: "unit testing python code" sounds good, maybe also "automated testing for the desktop" for MCC20:39
lagaalso "introduction to the installer team" - is that about the people or about the code?20:40
Steven_Mhi all23:33
tgm4883_laptop!hi23:34
ZinnThanks for being polite.  But we are so dang awesome at solving problems that we wish you would just ask your question.  Thanks.23:34
Steven_Mare there drivers for ATI graphics cards available in the non-free repos?23:36
superm1in restricted yes23:36
superm1but ati cards are broken in 8.10 atm23:37
Steven_Msuperm1: oh :( I might have to switch to another myth distro then cause playback of livetv and recorded tv skips heaps of frames.23:40
rhpot1991are you using 8.10?23:40
hadsThat's 8.1023:40

superm1never know what people are using, so assume the worst and let them correct you23:42

rhpot1991I'd prob assume they were running the latest stable23:42
Steven_Mnope mythbuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd6423:44
superm1Steven_M, then the drivers are available23:44
superm1just use the restricted drivers manager23:44
Steven_MI don't remember seeing ATI on the list, but I may have been looking in the wrong place. thanks :)23:48
superm1it may be referred to as AMD23:48
superm1AMD bought ATI23:48
Steven_Msuperm1: found it, thank you so much :)23:54
superm1no problem23:54
Steven_Msuperm1: I was thinking of the drivers section in the installer23:55
