[00:38] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal,ping
[01:17] <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?
[03:29] <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?
[03:34] <foxbuntu> Mersault, yes.
[03:35] <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
[03:37] <Mersault> well, it's just reading out LCDproc server, now how do I  get mythtv to load info into it?
[03:50] <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
[04:48] <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 :

[07:29] <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.
[08:13] <marcus_> hello everyone
[08:14] <marcus_> i was wondering if anyone could answer a few question for me...?
[08:17] <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:
[08:18] <marcus_> illegal option: 'xmltv.xml' (use --help)
[08:22] <chrisbrl88> I keep getting a "cannot login to database?" error when I try to run the configuration... can anyone help?
[08:23] <marcus_> hi chrisbrl88, i had the same problem, turns out i hadn't configured my tuner card and video input
[08:24] <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
[08:26] <marcus_> oh, sorry, i am new to ubuntu myself, sounds like something for a more experienced user
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <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?
[08:29] <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
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:38] <toorima> you installing on gutsy or hardy?
[08:39] <chrisbrl88> whichever 8.04 is
[08:40] <toorima> 8.04 is hardy so guessing that is why its not working for ya
[08:40] <toorima> try the link I posted
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <chrisbrl88> this isn't doing much to help my migraine... lol
[08:43] <toorima> yeah wierd there isn't anything on the wiki, i think there used to be a link to mythbuntu
[08:45] <chrisbrl88> http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_ubuntu.php
[08:46] <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?
[08:49] <toorima> chrisbrl88: that guide looks ok
[08:50] <toorima> try mysqladmin -u root -p oldpass blank
[08:50] <toorima> never tried clearing it, just changing
[08:51] <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?
[08:52] <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
[08:53] <toorima> do cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[08:53] <toorima> it should hold your password
[08:54] <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
[08:55] <toorima> marcus_: u dont want to use schedules direct?
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <toorima> mythbuntu dont set a mysql root password so mysql will give access without password
[09:00] <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!
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <toorima> marcus_: ok where in the guide do you have problem?
[09:03] <marcus_> the first mythfilldatabase commande was where i hit a brick wall
[09:05] <marcus_> but it was because of the -1 in the line that it kept bugging out
[09:05] <marcus_> i think
[09:06] <marcus_> i am learning fast by bashing my head straight onto mythbuntu, and i am still getting my bearings using a ubuntu system
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <marcus_> aside from that, i am puzzled by crontab command
[09:11] <toorima> what about crontab?
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <toorima> marcus_: try sudo crontab -l
[09:15] <toorima> chrisbrl88: did you clear the mysql password?
[09:15] <chrisbrl88> it won't let me
[09:17] <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
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <chrisbrl88> marcus_: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <marcus_> i am in your debts guys, i never dreamt to learn so much tonight
[09:22] <chrisbrl88> im sending you a file
[09:23] <chrisbrl88> its a pretty basic diagram, but it helps me remember what does what
[09:23] <marcus_> thanks chrisbrl88
[09:24] <marcus_> it'll help me understand this monster of a system, it's seems so powerfull(linux) compared to windows
[09:25] <marcus_> can't for the life of me think why i never made the jump to any linux system
[09:26] <marcus_> say, does anyone know if the small games from www.gamehouse.com can work on ubuntu?
[09:30] <toorima> could maybe run in wine
[09:31] <toorima> depends if its a .exe or
[09:31] <toorima> shockwave games will not work
[09:32] <marcus_> they are .exe file, with a a few .dll in a directory
[09:33] <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/
[09:35] <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?
[09:37] <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
[09:39] <marcus_> ah, ok
[09:40] <marcus_> is there a way to find out what the error was about?
[09:40] <toorima> u mean commercial detection?
[09:42] <marcus_> yes, in the information screen(frontend) it said the task was errored
[09:43] <marcus_> that is where the error message appeared about commercial detection task
[09:44] <toorima> should be in /var/log/mythtv/
[09:44] <toorima> you should have some logfiles there u can read
[09:45] <marcus_> alright, i'm going there right away, curious to find out what it was all about
[09:46] <marcus_> say, whenever i try to open a file, it always ask me what program i want to use to open it
[09:47] <marcus_> what should i install to have similar fonction to wordpad from windows, or better?
[09:47] <chrisbrl88> marcus_: wordpad or MS word/office?
[09:49] <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
[09:51] <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
[09:52] <marcus_> the only software installed i could choose was firefox
[09:52] <chrisbrl88> that's... really unusual
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <toorima> it should have come with it yeah
[09:54] <toorima> probably it lost the settings, what files are opened with
[09:57] <marcus_> probably
[10:03] <marcus_> maybe it's because i didn't check in the setup option a different desktop?
[10:05] <marcus_> i know i saw that option in the setups somewhere
[10:07] <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
[13:12] <adac> The satandard layout for mythbuntu...how is this called? can i install this "theme" also in ubuntu?
[13:13] <adac> *standard
[13:51] <chrisbrl88> hey I installed the ubuntu desktop overtop mythbuntu... how do I get into gnome now?
[14:43] <adac> I thibnk mythbuntu is dead chrisbrl88...noone answers here ;)
[15:47] <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
[15:53] <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
[15:58] <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
[16:00] <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
[16:01] <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
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <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
[16:05] <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
[16:09] <chrisbrl88> same in tvtime
[16:09] <chrisbrl88> no signal
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <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
[16:22] <chrisbrl88> nothing happens
[16:22] <chrisbrl88> lspci is seeing both cards
[16:23] <jphillip> it doesn't capture anything?
[16:23] <jphillip> sounds like your cards aren't up and running
[16:24] <chrisbrl88> I know they both work though
[16:24] <chrisbrl88> and where would the capture file be?
[16:25] <chrisbrl88> the composite in works fine on both
[16:25] <chrisbrl88> I hooked a gamecube up to them
[16:26] <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?
[16:27] <jphillip> if it works with composite, it may just not be set to use the tuner
[16:28] <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
[16:29] <chrisbrl88> and id rather not break out the ATI tvwonder because you can't even use that for live tv
[16:31] <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
[16:32] <chrisbrl88> ones pinnacle and the other is pixelview
[16:46] <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.
[16:47] <superm1> kees, yeah exactly
[16:48] <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
[16:49]  * kees nods
[18:42] <adac> what is a program with a grafical interface which allows me to manage the mysql databases
[18:42] <tgm4883_laptop> phpmyadmin
[18:42] <tgm4883_laptop> through a web interface that is
[18:42] <adac> tgm4883_laptop. ok thx
[18:43] <adac> web interface is fine
[19:10] <toorima> anyone missing rating in mythvideo? i get 0.0 on all movies i,ve added in the last week
[19:11] <toorima> 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] <toorima> fixed it
[21:09] <leeko_> hello! first time in this channel
[21:10] <leeko_> is this the correct place to ask questions re: setting up mythbuntu?
[21:19] <jphillip> leeko_ sometimes, if people are paying attention
[21:20] <jphillip> try asking your question and wait a bit to see if anyone answers, if not hit the forums
[21:20] <jphillip> !forums | leeko_
[21:20] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about forums
[21:20] <jphillip> !forum | leeko_
[21:20] <Zinn> leeko_: The Mythbuntu forum is located at: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301
[21:27] <leeko_> hi - sorry, i didn't realise it wouldn't alert me when there was a response!
[21:28] <leeko_> thanks for the info
[21:38] <jphillip> leeko_ in the forums?
[21:48] <leeko_> yeah i've used the ubuntuforum before
[22:59] <abarbaccia1> anyone have audio sync issues when playing back mkv files? the audio always falls behind about 30min into the playback
[23:02] <hads> I don't think mkv playback is quite as well supported as some others.
[23:16] <abarbaccia1> hads: gotcha. its all h264 i thought
[23:16] <abarbaccia1> just mkv is the wrapper
[23:38] <link> 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?
