[00:38] mikal,ping [01:17] 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? [03:29] 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? [03:34] Mersault, yes. [03:35] actually, I just rebooted and it works [03:35] I'm not sure what I did [03:35] Mersault, same thing happened with mine too [03:35] heh [03:35] Mersault, I need to reload it sometime and document it better [03:35] its one of my test machines [03:37] well, it's just reading out LCDproc server, now how do I get mythtv to load info into it? [03:50] 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] but now we're back to default display [04:48] 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] 2008-09-17 23:43:03.715 Opening audio device 'default'. ch 6(2) sr 48000 [04:48] 2008-09-17 23:43:03.715 Opening ALSA audio device 'default'.

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. [08:13] hello everyone [08:14] i was wondering if anyone could answer a few question for me...? [08:17] i am trying to force mythfilldatabase to use the output file 'xmltv.xml' from zap2xml.pl using this command format: [08:17] mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 xmltv.xml [08:17] all i keep getting is the error: [08:18] illegal option: 'xmltv.xml' (use --help) [08:22] I keep getting a "cannot login to database?" error when I try to run the configuration... can anyone help? [08:23] hi chrisbrl88, i had the same problem, turns out i hadn't configured my tuner card and video input [08:24] did you setup any channels yet before running the fill database? [08:24] I can't even get far enough to set up channels [08:24] this is happening during the initial configuration [08:26] oh, sorry, i am new to ubuntu myself, sounds like something for a more experienced user [08:27] there don't seem to be any awake and in the room at the moment haha [08:27] eheheh, it appears we are the only 2 who aren't snoring [08:28] this has been driving me insane for 2 days and there's never anyone in here :-( [08:28] did you redownload your iso again? [08:29] i had a problem with my first burn, it kept crashing during install [08:29] i burned it again at the lowest speed setting i could do, and it did the trick for me [08:29] im adding mythtv to an existing ubuntu desktop [08:32] sounds like a lot of fun ahead [08:32] well, it normally shouldn't be an issue [08:32] it basically converts the system to mythbuntu [08:33] but since I don't know anything about mysql, I don't know how to correct the issue [08:33] i am a window-guru, ubuntu is new to me [08:33] haha im better with windows [08:33] as much as I hate vista [08:34] getting back into shell command brings back fond memories of dos [08:34] v1.1 to 6.2 [08:34] you are so right about vista, a real pita [08:36] chrisbrl88: did you follow any guide to add mythtv to ubuntu? [08:36] http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu ? [08:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Backend_Frontend_Desktop [08:38] you installing on gutsy or hardy? [08:39] whichever 8.04 is [08:40] 8.04 is hardy so guessing that is why its not working for ya [08:40] try the link I posted [08:41] your trying 7.10 install on 8.04 [08:41] I see... [08:41] there doesn't seem to be a guide for 8.04 yet [08:42] this isn't doing much to help my migraine... lol [08:43] yeah wierd there isn't anything on the wiki, i think there used to be a link to mythbuntu [08:45] http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php [08:46] seems to be an installation guide for hardy [08:46] 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] any idea how to clear the mysql root password? [08:49] chrisbrl88: that guide looks ok [08:50] try mysqladmin -u root -p oldpass blank [08:50] never tried clearing it, just changing [08:51] access denied [08:51] this is getting bothersome [08:51] if I just downloaded and installed mythbuntu, could I configure it to act as a desktop? [08:52] it can be mythtv first and a desktop second instead of the other way around [08:52] u sure you set a password? can you find it in /etc/mysql or something like that? [08:52] yeah u can add gnome or kde desktop to mythbuntu [08:52] that's the thing... im not sure if I set one or not [08:53] do cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [08:53] it should hold your password [08:54] it shows the particular database password [08:54] not the mysql user password [08:54] I wish I knew how to use mysql haha [08:55] marcus_: u dont want to use schedules direct? [08:56] not for now, i am testing mythbuntu [08:56] i'm not sure if i will be using it or moving to a satellite service soon [08:57] schedules direct that is [08:57] isn't free for 2 weeks or something? [08:57] GAH - my log has grown to half a gig [08:58] that is a good question, i haven't registered with the service yet [08:58] but since i have an account with zap2it i wanted to try making it work using the zap2xml perl script i found [08:58] chrisbrl88: what happens if u do mysql -u root [08:59] mythbuntu dont set a mysql root password so mysql will give access without password [09:00] access denied for user root@localhost [09:00] and now there's a bigger problem! I don't know which episode of law and order: CI to watch! its on 2 channels! [09:01] if I could get mythtv working, my problems would be solved! [09:01] 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 [09:02] marcus_: ok where in the guide do you have problem? [09:03] the first mythfilldatabase commande was where i hit a brick wall [09:05] but it was because of the -1 in the line that it kept bugging out [09:05] i think [09:06] i am learning fast by bashing my head straight onto mythbuntu, and i am still getting my bearings using a ubuntu system [09:09] i guess reading the mythfilldatabase --help queued me onto my problem of the -1 [09:09] hmm yeah it seems it should only take one number there [09:10] aside from that, i am puzzled by crontab command [09:11] what about crontab? [09:12] 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] and which are currently running [09:12] whoa... when I rebooted the splash changed to mythbuntu [09:13] marcus_: try sudo crontab -l [09:15] chrisbrl88: did you clear the mysql password? [09:15] it won't let me [09:17] I think im gonna try downloading the mythbuntu iso and add gnome to it after the fact [09:17] im gonna have to remember what boot parameters I used to get into the system setup again though... ugh [09:17] I really should take notes [09:18] yeah i tell myself the same thing but i never do hehe [09:18] thank-you toorima, that showed me the list of planned task [09:18] np [09:19] before I take notes I should probably clean my desk, too haha [09:19] its become more of a shelf since I got my laptop and stopped using the desktop [09:19] ILL BE ABLE TO PLAY ZELDA AND WATCH TV AT THE SAME TIME ONCE THIS WORKS!!!! [09:19] 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 [09:20] marcus_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/ [09:21] good starting point [09:21] mainly, file organisation tree structure, authorisation level and so forth [09:21] oo! I have something you'll like for the file tree structure [09:22] i am in your debts guys, i never dreamt to learn so much tonight [09:22] im sending you a file [09:23] its a pretty basic diagram, but it helps me remember what does what [09:23] thanks chrisbrl88 [09:24] it'll help me understand this monster of a system, it's seems so powerfull(linux) compared to windows [09:25] can't for the life of me think why i never made the jump to any linux system [09:26] say, does anyone know if the small games from www.gamehouse.com can work on ubuntu? [09:30] could maybe run in wine [09:31] depends if its a .exe or [09:31] shockwave games will not work [09:32] they are .exe file, with a a few .dll in a directory [09:33] windows is looking less and less interesting the more i read and understand everything you've sent me guys, thanks a bunch! [09:33] i have one last question on mythbuntu 8.04, about transcoding and comercial detection [09:33] could work with wine, check here http://appdb.winehq.org/ [09:35] i've added this page for my next reading [09:35] 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? [09:37] 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 [09:39] ah, ok [09:40] is there a way to find out what the error was about? [09:40] u mean commercial detection? [09:42] yes, in the information screen(frontend) it said the task was errored [09:43] that is where the error message appeared about commercial detection task [09:44] should be in /var/log/mythtv/ [09:44] you should have some logfiles there u can read [09:45] alright, i'm going there right away, curious to find out what it was all about [09:46] say, whenever i try to open a file, it always ask me what program i want to use to open it [09:47] what should i install to have similar fonction to wordpad from windows, or better? [09:47] marcus_: wordpad or MS word/office? [09:49] 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] vi, nano, gedit, openoffice [09:49] gedit [09:49] first 2 are command line text editors, gedit is notepad/wordpad but better [09:49] ubuntu installs with most everything you'll need [09:51] no wonder i couldn't read anything from files, gedit wasn't installed [09:51] it wasn't? comes default with most linux distros [09:51] whoo! mythbuntu iso is downloaded and burning [09:52] the only software installed i could choose was firefox [09:52] that's... really unusual [09:53] so it should have been installed with the mythbuntu image i used.. right? [09:53] ill let you know shortly when I start installing it lol [09:54] it should have come with it yeah [09:54] probably it lost the settings, what files are opened with [09:57] probably [10:03] maybe it's because i didn't check in the setup option a different desktop? [10:05] i know i saw that option in the setups somewhere [10:07] well, time's up for me, now i will attack my pillow [10:07] thank-you chrisbrl88 , toorima [10:07] your help is very much welcomed [13:12] The satandard layout for mythbuntu...how is this called? can i install this "theme" also in ubuntu? [13:13] *standard [13:51] hey I installed the ubuntu desktop overtop mythbuntu... how do I get into gnome now? [14:43] I thibnk mythbuntu is dead chrisbrl88...noone answers here ;) === superm1|away is now known as superm === superm is now known as superm1 [15:47] 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] let me find the upstream changelog entry talking about it [15:53] 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] so upstream had wanted it done that way [15:58] 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 [16:00] hey is anyone awake? [16:00] perhaps [16:00] !ask [16:00] 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] whoo! [16:00] ah ic ok [16:00] well... I've got mythbuntu working [16:00] but when I go to scan for channels, it says I have no signal on any of them [16:00] its bt848 chip [16:01] I've checked the cable connection to the wall and it works perfectly [16:01] im wondering if there's some setting im missing somewhere [16:01] capture device is /dev/video0 [16:03] im going crazy trying to figure this out [16:03] 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 [16:04] what program would you suggest trying for that? [16:04] it worked 2 days ago when I had windows xp on this system [16:05] chrisbrl88 let me see if I can find info for how I've done it with my pvr-xxx card [16:05] ok [16:09] same in tvtime [16:09] no signal [16:10] what happens if you do at /dev/videoX > test.mpg [16:10] errr [16:10] cat /dev/videoX > test.mpg [16:10] ^c that after a bit and then try to play back the video [16:11] obviously replace X with the propper number [16:11] tvtime froze the system.... I have to reboot [16:11] ill stick my second card in there in the process [16:22] nothing happens [16:22] lspci is seeing both cards [16:23] it doesn't capture anything? [16:23] sounds like your cards aren't up and running [16:24] I know they both work though [16:24] and where would the capture file be? [16:25] the composite in works fine on both [16:25] I hooked a gamecube up to them [16:26] works fine in mythtv, or when cat'ing them [16:26] mythTV and tvtime [16:26] it would be wherever you were when you ran that command [16:26] perhaps you need to set the input in mythtv-setup? [16:27] if it works with composite, it may just not be set to use the tuner [16:28] 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] no signal on scans [16:28] on either cards [16:29] and id rather not break out the ATI tvwonder because you can't even use that for live tv [16:31] 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 [16:32] ones pinnacle and the other is pixelview [16:46] 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. [16:47] kees, yeah exactly [16:48] kees, i think actually the concept of vboxusers owning /dev/vboxdrv might be able to go too w/ this [16:48] kees, since the binary is launched suid [16:49] * kees nods === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [18:42] what is a program with a grafical interface which allows me to manage the mysql databases [18:42] phpmyadmin [18:42] through a web interface that is [18:42] tgm4883_laptop. ok thx [18:43] web interface is fine [19:10] anyone missing rating in mythvideo? i get 0.0 on all movies i,ve added in the last week [19:11] can't find anything about it either, I've managed to fix the lowres poster problem without, dont know if that is fixed in weekly builds, i dont use that [20:25] fixed it [21:09] hello! first time in this channel [21:10] is this the correct place to ask questions re: setting up mythbuntu? === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [21:19] leeko_ sometimes, if people are paying attention [21:20] try asking your question and wait a bit to see if anyone answers, if not hit the forums [21:20] !forums | leeko_ [21:20] Sorry I don't know about forums [21:20] !forum | leeko_ [21:20] leeko_: The Mythbuntu forum is located at: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301 === superm1|away is now known as superm1 === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [21:27] hi - sorry, i didn't realise it wouldn't alert me when there was a response!

[23:16] hads: gotcha. its all h264 i thought [23:16] just mkv is the wrapper [23:38] hey, I managed to break nfs on my mythbox, I did some googleing and there is a bug in nfs? so i cant just reinstall it?
