[01:22] <Zinn> 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.
[01:23] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest95, you will catch far more answers if you ask your question
[01:24] <tgm4883_laptop> Usually 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 mind
[01:27] <keirian> Hello.  I am trying to install a mythbuntu frontend on an i386.  However, the install seems to hang at 87% with the message "getting the time from a network time server."  I am using the 8.04.01 disk to install.
[01:54] <pteague> anybody know what key on the keyboard relates to the info button?
[02:26] <hads> pteague: i

[06:38] <Steven_M> hi 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?
[07:31] <Steven_M> hi all, I've just got mythbuntu working, which I'm really happy about, however livetv and recordings seem to be really jumpy, even though my card has a hardware mpeg 2 encoder. (note I only have analogue tv) Any ideas why?
[10:18] <susa24> hello all
[10:20] <susa24> i 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?
[10:51] <quentusrex> Hello all
[10:51] <quentusrex> Is there a way to see which packages are customized by mythbuntu?
[10:51] <quentusrex> I'm trying to find a way to easily convert an Ubuntu 8.04 install to mythbuntu
[11:06] <laga> quentusrex: no packages are costumized. all packages are in the repo.
[11:06] <laga> s/repo/ubuntu archives/
[11:07] <laga> but let's keep this in the dev channel
[12:01] <sebrock> I'm trying to find ttfont.cpp but cant find it in mythbuntu...
[12:02] <sebrock> or ttfont.o
[12:38] <laga> you need to look in the source code..
[15:56] <Lemont>  I'm having issues getting the DVI on my Radeon 9200 to work with ubuntu. Can anyone recommend a good cheap PCI or AGP card with dvi or hdmi out?
[18:28] <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.
[18:41] <superm1> tim__, check if it's running :)
[18:41] <superm1> and look in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log for errors
[18:41] <superm1> most likely related to permissions
[18:41] <superm1> on your recording groups.
[20:11] <anax83> Hello everybody
[20:11] <anax83> i have some issues installing mythbuntu.
[20:11] <anax83> i would like to install it to my via epia m900
[20:11] <anax83> is there a non graphical installer?
[20:11] <superm1> eg alternate ccd
[20:11] <superm1> cd
[20:12] <superm1> yes
[20:12] <anax83> because the splash screen where you can normally choose the boot method of the live cd, cannot be displayed correctly
[20:12] <anax83> which number has the entry to install non graphical?
[20:13] <anax83> i cannot see it, so i have to choose it blindfolded
[20:13] <superm1> oh, you need the different cd to do it that way
[20:13] <superm1> safe graphics mode is another option for you though too
[20:16] <jphillip> safe graphics might be the 3rd, but I cannot remember for sure
[20:16] <anax83> superm1: 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 application
[20:16] <anax83> what is safe graphics? is it x too or curses?
[20:27] <anax83> do 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?
[20:28] <laga> i havent tried it in ages
[20:28] <laga> janneg had my dbox2, he wrote a channel scanner i believe
[20:28] <laga> so it should be quite easy now
[20:29] <superm1> anax83, safe graphics is still X
[20:29] <superm1> just w/ vesa
[20:29] <laga> superm1: have you had your presentation alreadyß
[20:30] <superm1> yup
[20:31] <laga> sad, i missed it
[20:31] <anax83> laga: ok thx a lot
[20:32] <anax83> superm1: downloading the alternate iso atm, x just hangs at the installer
[20:32] <superm1> laga, well there are logs
[20:32] <laga> superm1: yeah, but now i can't ask insane questions
[20:32] <superm1> laga, wasn't too exciting imo
[20:32] <superm1> yeah i would've preferred insane questions
[20:33] <superm1> there was only one that really made me think
[20:33] <laga> hehe
[20:33] <anax83> a 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] <laga> well, i kept asking stuff like "what is a distroseries", "what is a reusable model" during cprov's soyuz session ;)
[20:34] <superm1> hehe, oh man i wish i knew there was a soyuz session
[20:34] <superm1> i would've attended that
[20:35] <superm1> anax83, yeah they are
[20:35] <superm1> laga, any other ones worth attending?
[20:35] <laga> let me check the schedule
[20:35] <laga> i only read dholbach's blog postings
[20:35] <laga> does canonical pay him? he seems to do a good job
[20:36] <laga> superm1: introduction to bzr, but i missed that too
[20:37] <laga> superm1: bzr for packaging maybe, or introduction to PPAs
[20:37] <laga> although i'd prefer stuff like "do awesome stuff with PPAs"
[20:37] <superm1> dholbach does work for canonical yes
[20:37] <superm1> i dont know what he does nowadays now
[20:37] <superm1> *now=though
[20:37] <superm1> introduction to stuff is usually meh.  i want advanced XYZ
[20:38] <laga> superm1: "how to avoid making archive admins unhappy"
[20:38] <laga> that sounds good
[20:38] <laga> "ask matt zimmerman"
[20:38] <laga> hum
[20:38] <laga> he used to maintain the mythtv packages, maybe we can harrass him about that
[20:39] <laga> superm1: "unit testing python code" sounds good, maybe also "automated testing for the desktop" for MCC
[20:40] <laga> also "introduction to the installer team" - is that about the people or about the code?
[23:33] <Steven_M> hi all
[23:34] <tgm4883_laptop> !hi
[23:34] <Zinn> Thanks for being polite.  But we are so dang awesome at solving problems that we wish you would just ask your question.  Thanks.
[23:36] <Steven_M> are there drivers for ATI graphics cards available in the non-free repos?
[23:36] <superm1> in restricted yes
[23:37] <superm1> but ati cards are broken in 8.10 atm
[23:40] <Steven_M> superm1: oh :( I might have to switch to another myth distro then cause playback of livetv and recorded tv skips heaps of frames.
[23:40] <rhpot1991> are you using 8.10?
[23:40] <hads> That's 8.10
[23:40] <hads> 8.04 is the current release.
[23:41] <Steven_M> I'll just check
[23:42] <superm1> 8.10 is the development release
[23:42] <superm1> never know what people are using, so assume the worst and let them correct you
[23:42] <hads> :)
[23:42] <rhpot1991> I'd prob assume they were running the latest stable
[23:44] <Steven_M> nope mythbuntu-8.04.1-desktop-amd64
[23:44] <superm1> Steven_M, then the drivers are available
[23:44] <superm1> just use the restricted drivers manager
[23:48] <Steven_M> I don't remember seeing ATI on the list, but I may have been looking in the wrong place. thanks :)
[23:48] <superm1> it may be referred to as AMD
[23:48] <superm1> AMD bought ATI
[23:54] <Steven_M> superm1: found it, thank you so much :)
[23:54] <superm1> no problem
[23:55] <Steven_M> superm1: I was thinking of the drivers section in the installer
[23:57] <superm1> it's there too
[23:59] <Steven_M> I must have missed it somehow, sorry
