| Wicked | well i got my pvr-150 ir blaster to work when i use the cli...but now i cant figure out how to make it work my remote. any ideas on how i can do this? | 01:17 |
| Mersault | I've got a black Antec Fusion case with an iMON LCD display. Has anyone had success getting this to work with 8.10 Alpha 4? | 03:29 |
| foxbuntu | Mersault, yes. | 03:34 |
| Mersault | actually, I just rebooted and it works | 03:35 |
| Mersault | I'm not sure what I did | 03:35 |
| foxbuntu | Mersault, same thing happened with mine too | 03:35 |
| Mersault | heh | 03:35 |
| foxbuntu | Mersault, I need to reload it sometime and document it better | 03:35 |
| foxbuntu | its one of my test machines | 03:35 |
| Mersault | well, it's just reading out LCDproc server, now how do I get mythtv to load info into it? | 03:37 |
| Mersault | is there any way to get it to stop displaying LCDProc Server when idle? I found the settings in mythtv, and it showed the time for a minute | 03:50 |
| Mersault | but now we're back to default display | 03:50 |
| toto | hi all, today my mythtv doesn't render my tv sound. I believe it is caused by a recent package update of mythtv, does anyone know about it ? the log is : | 04:48 |

| Ekodude | So, i'm using a Hauppauge HVR-950Q. As far as i know, everything is working driverwise and whatnot. I can scan for channels, but only for ATSC channels. All i have is basic NTSC cable, and can't figure out how to scan for channels so i can fill my mythdatabase with all the good stuff from schedulesdirect.org. can anyone help on scanning normal channels? "Fetch channels from listings source" doesn't do anything. at all. | 07:29 |
| marcus_ | hello everyone | 08:13 |
| marcus_ | i was wondering if anyone could answer a few question for me...? | 08:14 |
| marcus_ | i am trying to force mythfilldatabase to use the output file 'xmltv.xml' from zap2xml.pl using this command format: | 08:17 |
| marcus_ | mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 xmltv.xml | 08:17 |
| marcus_ | all i keep getting is the error: | 08:17 |
| marcus_ | illegal option: 'xmltv.xml' (use --help) | 08:18 |
| chrisbrl88 | I keep getting a "cannot login to database?" error when I try to run the configuration... can anyone help? | 08:22 |
| marcus_ | hi chrisbrl88, i had the same problem, turns out i hadn't configured my tuner card and video input | 08:23 |
| marcus_ | did you setup any channels yet before running the fill database? | 08:24 |
| chrisbrl88 | I can't even get far enough to set up channels | 08:24 |
| chrisbrl88 | this is happening during the initial configuration | 08:24 |
| marcus_ | oh, sorry, i am new to ubuntu myself, sounds like something for a more experienced user | 08:26 |
| chrisbrl88 | there don't seem to be any awake and in the room at the moment haha | 08:27 |
| marcus_ | eheheh, it appears we are the only 2 who aren't snoring | 08:27 |
| chrisbrl88 | this has been driving me insane for 2 days and there's never anyone in here :-( | 08:28 |
| marcus_ | did you redownload your iso again? | 08:28 |
| marcus_ | i had a problem with my first burn, it kept crashing during install | 08:29 |
| marcus_ | i burned it again at the lowest speed setting i could do, and it did the trick for me | 08:29 |
| chrisbrl88 | im adding mythtv to an existing ubuntu desktop | 08:29 |
| marcus_ | sounds like a lot of fun ahead | 08:32 |
| chrisbrl88 | well, it normally shouldn't be an issue | 08:32 |
| chrisbrl88 | it basically converts the system to mythbuntu | 08:32 |
| chrisbrl88 | but since I don't know anything about mysql, I don't know how to correct the issue | 08:33 |
| marcus_ | i am a window-guru, ubuntu is new to me | 08:33 |
| chrisbrl88 | haha im better with windows | 08:33 |
| chrisbrl88 | as much as I hate vista | 08:33 |
| marcus_ | getting back into shell command brings back fond memories of dos | 08:34 |
| marcus_ | v1.1 to 6.2 | 08:34 |
| marcus_ | you are so right about vista, a real pita | 08:34 |
| toorima | chrisbrl88: did you follow any guide to add mythtv to ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| toorima | http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu ? | 08:36 |
| chrisbrl88 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Backend_Frontend_Desktop | 08:36 |
| toorima | you installing on gutsy or hardy? | 08:38 |
| chrisbrl88 | whichever 8.04 is | 08:39 |
| toorima | 8.04 is hardy so guessing that is why its not working for ya | 08:40 |
| toorima | try the link I posted | 08:40 |
| toorima | your trying 7.10 install on 8.04 | 08:41 |
| chrisbrl88 | I see... | 08:41 |
| chrisbrl88 | there doesn't seem to be a guide for 8.04 yet | 08:41 |
| chrisbrl88 | this isn't doing much to help my migraine... lol | 08:42 |
| toorima | yeah wierd there isn't anything on the wiki, i think there used to be a link to mythbuntu | 08:43 |
| chrisbrl88 | http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php | 08:45 |
| chrisbrl88 | seems to be an installation guide for hardy | 08:46 |
| marcus_ | toorima, do you have a minute to check this guide (http://vanvalkinburgh.org/blog/644) to setting up a data guide from zap2it? | 08:46 |
| chrisbrl88 | any idea how to clear the mysql root password? | 08:46 |
| toorima | chrisbrl88: that guide looks ok | 08:49 |
| toorima | try mysqladmin -u root -p oldpass blank | 08:50 |
| toorima | never tried clearing it, just changing | 08:50 |
| chrisbrl88 | access denied | 08:51 |
| chrisbrl88 | this is getting bothersome | 08:51 |
| chrisbrl88 | if I just downloaded and installed mythbuntu, could I configure it to act as a desktop? | 08:51 |
| chrisbrl88 | it can be mythtv first and a desktop second instead of the other way around | 08:52 |
| toorima | u sure you set a password? can you find it in /etc/mysql or something like that? | 08:52 |
| toorima | yeah u can add gnome or kde desktop to mythbuntu | 08:52 |
| chrisbrl88 | that's the thing... im not sure if I set one or not | 08:52 |
| toorima | do cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 08:53 |
| toorima | it should hold your password | 08:53 |
| chrisbrl88 | it shows the particular database password | 08:54 |
| chrisbrl88 | not the mysql user password | 08:54 |
| chrisbrl88 | I wish I knew how to use mysql haha | 08:54 |
| toorima | marcus_: u dont want to use schedules direct? | 08:55 |
| marcus_ | not for now, i am testing mythbuntu | 08:56 |
| marcus_ | i'm not sure if i will be using it or moving to a satellite service soon | 08:56 |
| marcus_ | schedules direct that is | 08:57 |
| toorima | isn't free for 2 weeks or something? | 08:57 |
| chrisbrl88 | GAH - my log has grown to half a gig | 08:57 |
| marcus_ | that is a good question, i haven't registered with the service yet | 08:58 |
| marcus_ | but since i have an account with zap2it i wanted to try making it work using the zap2xml perl script i found | 08:58 |
| toorima | chrisbrl88: what happens if u do mysql -u root | 08:58 |
| toorima | mythbuntu dont set a mysql root password so mysql will give access without password | 08:59 |
| chrisbrl88 | access denied for user root@localhost | 09:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | and now there's a bigger problem! I don't know which episode of law and order: CI to watch! its on 2 channels! | 09:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | if I could get mythtv working, my problems would be solved! | 09:01 |
| toorima | you could try this, i have never tried it myself tho http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting-permissions-unix | 09:01 |
| toorima | marcus_: ok where in the guide do you have problem? | 09:02 |
| marcus_ | the first mythfilldatabase commande was where i hit a brick wall | 09:03 |
| marcus_ | but it was because of the -1 in the line that it kept bugging out | 09:05 |
| marcus_ | i think | 09:05 |
| marcus_ | i am learning fast by bashing my head straight onto mythbuntu, and i am still getting my bearings using a ubuntu system | 09:06 |
| marcus_ | i guess reading the mythfilldatabase --help queued me onto my problem of the -1 | 09:09 |
| toorima | hmm yeah it seems it should only take one number there | 09:09 |
| marcus_ | aside from that, i am puzzled by crontab command | 09:10 |
| toorima | what about crontab? | 09:11 |
| marcus_ | when i do crontab -e, and exit from the editor, where can i find a list of all the task i have scheduled? | 09:12 |
| marcus_ | and which are currently running | 09:12 |
| chrisbrl88 | whoa... when I rebooted the splash changed to mythbuntu | 09:12 |
| toorima | marcus_: try sudo crontab -l | 09:13 |
| toorima | chrisbrl88: did you clear the mysql password? | 09:15 |
| chrisbrl88 | it won't let me | 09:15 |
| chrisbrl88 | I think im gonna try downloading the mythbuntu iso and add gnome to it after the fact | 09:17 |
| chrisbrl88 | im gonna have to remember what boot parameters I used to get into the system setup again though... ugh | 09:17 |
| chrisbrl88 | I really should take notes | 09:17 |
| toorima | yeah i tell myself the same thing but i never do hehe | 09:18 |
| marcus_ | thank-you toorima, that showed me the list of planned task | 09:18 |
| toorima | np | 09:18 |
| chrisbrl88 | before I take notes I should probably clean my desk, too haha | 09:19 |
| chrisbrl88 | its become more of a shelf since I got my laptop and stopped using the desktop | 09:19 |
| chrisbrl88 | ILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ZELDA AND WATCH TV AT THE SAME TIME ONCE THIS WORKS!!!! | 09:19 |
| marcus_ | is there a good book you'd recommand, or wiki i should read to get a good cross-reference to the good old days of Dos | 09:19 |
| chrisbrl88 | marcus_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/ | 09:20 |
| chrisbrl88 | good starting point | 09:21 |
| marcus_ | mainly, file organisation tree structure, authorisation level and so forth | 09:21 |
| chrisbrl88 | oo! I have something you'll like for the file tree structure | 09:21 |
| marcus_ | i am in your debts guys, i never dreamt to learn so much tonight | 09:22 |
| chrisbrl88 | im sending you a file | 09:22 |
| chrisbrl88 | its a pretty basic diagram, but it helps me remember what does what | 09:23 |
| marcus_ | thanks chrisbrl88 | 09:23 |
| marcus_ | it'll help me understand this monster of a system, it's seems so powerfull(linux) compared to windows | 09:24 |
| marcus_ | can't for the life of me think why i never made the jump to any linux system | 09:25 |
| marcus_ | say, does anyone know if the small games from www.gamehouse.com can work on ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| toorima | could maybe run in wine | 09:30 |
| toorima | depends if its a .exe or | 09:31 |
| toorima | shockwave games will not work | 09:31 |
| marcus_ | they are .exe file, with a a few .dll in a directory | 09:32 |
| marcus_ | windows is looking less and less interesting the more i read and understand everything you've sent me guys, thanks a bunch! | 09:33 |
| marcus_ | i have one last question on mythbuntu 8.04, about transcoding and comercial detection | 09:33 |
| toorima | could work with wine, check here http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 09:33 |
| marcus_ | i've added this page for my next reading | 09:35 |
| marcus_ | i did a few test today, but all of them returned an errored code in the frontend, is there a way for me to find out what is the error? | 09:35 |
| toorima | transcoding used to be problems with, not sure how it is now, dont used it, commercial detection works fine tho, once a while it will detect wrong but | 09:37 |
| marcus_ | ah, ok | 09:39 |
| marcus_ | is there a way to find out what the error was about? | 09:40 |
| toorima | u mean commercial detection? | 09:40 |
| marcus_ | yes, in the information screen(frontend) it said the task was errored | 09:42 |
| marcus_ | that is where the error message appeared about commercial detection task | 09:43 |
| toorima | should be in /var/log/mythtv/ | 09:44 |
| toorima | you should have some logfiles there u can read | 09:44 |
| marcus_ | alright, i'm going there right away, curious to find out what it was all about | 09:45 |
| marcus_ | say, whenever i try to open a file, it always ask me what program i want to use to open it | 09:46 |
| marcus_ | what should i install to have similar fonction to wordpad from windows, or better? | 09:47 |
| chrisbrl88 | marcus_: wordpad or MS word/office? | 09:47 |
| marcus_ | just a quick file reader, so wordpad would be best, i do not need the higher function of word/office(which i've heard called openoffice in linux) | 09:49 |
| toorima | vi, nano, gedit, openoffice | 09:49 |
| chrisbrl88 | gedit | 09:49 |
| toorima | first 2 are command line text editors, gedit is notepad/wordpad but better | 09:49 |
| chrisbrl88 | ubuntu installs with most everything you'll need | 09:49 |
| marcus_ | no wonder i couldn't read anything from files, gedit wasn't installed | 09:51 |
| toorima | it wasn't? comes default with most linux distros | 09:51 |
| chrisbrl88 | whoo! mythbuntu iso is downloaded and burning | 09:51 |
| marcus_ | the only software installed i could choose was firefox | 09:52 |
| chrisbrl88 | that's... really unusual | 09:52 |
| marcus_ | so it should have been installed with the mythbuntu image i used.. right? | 09:53 |
| chrisbrl88 | ill let you know shortly when I start installing it lol | 09:53 |
| toorima | it should have come with it yeah | 09:54 |
| toorima | probably it lost the settings, what files are opened with | 09:54 |
| marcus_ | probably | 09:57 |
| marcus_ | maybe it's because i didn't check in the setup option a different desktop? | 10:03 |
| marcus_ | i know i saw that option in the setups somewhere | 10:05 |
| marcus_ | well, time's up for me, now i will attack my pillow | 10:07 |
| marcus_ | thank-you chrisbrl88 , toorima | 10:07 |
| marcus_ | your help is very much welcomed | 10:07 |

| superm1 | kees, from what i understand, the binaries only run suid now, when the package was built without them that way - it wouldn't run, and would spit out an error saying that they need an effective id of root | 15:47 |
| superm1 | let me find the upstream changelog entry talking about it | 15:47 |
| superm1 | kees, well i'm having a hard time finding the changelog entry that brought it up - if you look in configure however, http://paste.ubuntu.com/48055/ | 15:53 |
| superm1 | so upstream had wanted it done that way | 15:53 |
| superm1 | kees, but if you have other suggestions on what to do about it or how to handle it more gracefully, i'd like to hear | 15:58 |
| chrisbrl88 | hey is anyone awake? | 16:00 |
| jphillip | perhaps | 16:00 |
| jphillip | !ask | 16:00 |
| 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. | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | whoo! | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | ah ic ok | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | well... I've got mythbuntu working | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | but when I go to scan for channels, it says I have no signal on any of them | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | its bt848 chip | 16:00 |
| chrisbrl88 | I've checked the cable connection to the wall and it works perfectly | 16:01 |
| chrisbrl88 | im wondering if there's some setting im missing somewhere | 16:01 |
| chrisbrl88 | capture device is /dev/video0 | 16:01 |
| chrisbrl88 | im going crazy trying to figure this out | 16:03 |
| jphillip | chrisbrl88 I'd search around for some info on the card, and try to tune it to a channel outside of mythtv first if thats the case | 16:03 |
| chrisbrl88 | what program would you suggest trying for that? | 16:04 |
| chrisbrl88 | it worked 2 days ago when I had windows xp on this system | 16:04 |
| jphillip | chrisbrl88 let me see if I can find info for how I've done it with my pvr-xxx card | 16:05 |
| chrisbrl88 | ok | 16:05 |
| chrisbrl88 | same in tvtime | 16:09 |
| chrisbrl88 | no signal | 16:09 |
| jphillip | what happens if you do at /dev/videoX > test.mpg | 16:10 |
| jphillip | errr | 16:10 |
| jphillip | cat /dev/videoX > test.mpg | 16:10 |
| jphillip | ^c that after a bit and then try to play back the video | 16:10 |
| jphillip | obviously replace X with the propper number | 16:11 |
| chrisbrl88 | tvtime froze the system.... I have to reboot | 16:11 |
| chrisbrl88 | ill stick my second card in there in the process | 16:11 |
| chrisbrl88 | nothing happens | 16:22 |
| chrisbrl88 | lspci is seeing both cards | 16:22 |
| jphillip | it doesn't capture anything? | 16:23 |
| jphillip | sounds like your cards aren't up and running | 16:23 |
| chrisbrl88 | I know they both work though | 16:24 |
| chrisbrl88 | and where would the capture file be? | 16:24 |
| chrisbrl88 | the composite in works fine on both | 16:25 |
| chrisbrl88 | I hooked a gamecube up to them | 16:25 |
| jphillip | works fine in mythtv, or when cat'ing them | 16:26 |
| chrisbrl88 | mythTV and tvtime | 16:26 |
| jphillip | it would be wherever you were when you ran that command | 16:26 |
| jphillip | perhaps you need to set the input in mythtv-setup? | 16:26 |
| jphillip | if it works with composite, it may just not be set to use the tuner | 16:27 |
| chrisbrl88 | all I can do is change the settings in the program to "tuner" or "cable" and that was the first thing I did | 16:28 |
| chrisbrl88 | no signal on scans | 16:28 |
| chrisbrl88 | on either cards | 16:28 |
| chrisbrl88 | and id rather not break out the ATI tvwonder because you can't even use that for live tv | 16:29 |
| jphillip | if its an ivtv card you can try this: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#Use_.22cat_.2Fdev.2FvideoX_.3E_test.mpg.22_to_test | 16:31 |
| chrisbrl88 | ones pinnacle and the other is pixelview | 16:32 |
| kees | superm1: ah-ha, okay, so it's using it's own thing that it calls "hardening". this isn't related to intrepid's compiler hardening options. cool. | 16:46 |
| superm1 | kees, yeah exactly | 16:47 |
| superm1 | kees, i think actually the concept of vboxusers owning /dev/vboxdrv might be able to go too w/ this | 16:48 |
| superm1 | kees, since the binary is launched suid | 16:48 |
| * kees nods | 16:49 | |
