| gankthoven | noob question, where does the zsnes emulator install when you use the apt-get install zsnes command | 02:46 |
|---|---|---|
| gankthoven | want to setup mythgame with zsnes and it kind of helps to have the install directory lol did a google search couldnt find it | 02:47 |
| fiyawerx | if i use the 8.10 alpha 4 install, i won't have to reinstall as newer versions come out, right? | 02:47 |
| fiyawerx | hm, You don't have permission to access /mythbuntu-8.10-alpha4-desktop-i386.iso.md5sum on this server. | 02:48 |
| hads | Yes you will be able to dist-upgrade like normal. It could be a good idea or not depending on your situation. | 02:51 |
| gankthoven | hads do you know how to get desktop icons to appear like trash and my computer etc | 02:51 |
| hads | I don't used the mythbuntu desktop | 02:55 |
| Brenny | I keep getting .asx streaming files spat out with the wrong port, so I used the force port option to force it to 8888. yet the playlists outputted are still using port 80. Any work around? | 03:13 |
| Brenny | For now I can edit the .asx files and change 80 to 8888 and that works, seems a bit tedious though. | 03:32 |
| fiyawerx | hm, so much for trying the alpha 4 desktop iso, i got up to a black screen after about 15 minutes of loading stuff on "install" | 03:42 |
| fiyawerx | if i hit like alt f1 etc.. i can see the screen change, but its still pure black | 03:42 |
| hads | It is alpha for a reason :) | 03:50 |
| === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop | ||
| fiyawerx | gonna give the alternate install a shot for the heck of it | 04:07 |
| fiyawerx | heh, whoops, i thought i read that the lvm setup would use xfs for storage, but a guided install just set me up with a 900 or so gig lvm root of ext3 | 04:38 |
| fiyawerx | where can i find out what "mythbuntu additional roles" means? under software selection | 04:43 |
| cbrunner | hey | 06:10 |
| cbrunner | anyone around? | 06:10 |
| cbrunner | I could really use some help with my mythbuntu box | 06:10 |
| superm1 | !ask | 06:10 |
| 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. | 06:10 |
| cbrunner | sorry | 06:10 |
| cbrunner | well, basically | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | I tried to update mythbuntu | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | from 7.10 | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | to the 8 release, through the updater | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | and my system got completely hosed | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | and all my graphics settings are messed up | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | so it no longer shows the entire screen | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | on my tv | 06:11 |
| superm1 | it shows part of it? | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | yep | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | just the top left corner | 06:11 |
| cbrunner | nothing works at all on it really, the lcd stopped working | 06:12 |
| superm1 | what if you vnc in? | 06:12 |
| superm1 | do you get the whole thing? | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | I cant vnc in haha, the network | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | doesnt work | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | well | 06:12 |
| superm1 | yikes | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | the system hung | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | in the last stage of the the installer | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | pretty sure that is why it is so messed up | 06:12 |
| superm1 | back in 7.10 it did? | 06:12 |
| cbrunner | yea | 06:13 |
| superm1 | or during the upgrade | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | during the upgrade | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | like it downloaded all the parts | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | then it was running the scripts | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | and like 75% into that | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | the system just hung | 06:13 |
| superm1 | well so usually if it looks "hung" you have to hit the little expander | 06:13 |
| superm1 | and it wants some input | 06:13 |
| superm1 | ...... | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | no no no | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | it straight up crashed | 06:13 |
| superm1 | it was literally "hung"? | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | it turned off | 06:13 |
| superm1 | okay | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | and actually | 06:13 |
| superm1 | overheated perhaps? | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | wouldnt turn back on | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | yea | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | thats what I was thinking | 06:13 |
| superm1 | ah fun fun | 06:13 |
| cbrunner | cause it wouldnt turn back on for a few minutes | 06:14 |
| superm1 | so at this point, you've got two things you need to accomplish | 06:14 |
| cbrunner | I dunno why though I have kept it on for long long periods of time | 06:14 |
| cbrunner | and it never crashed | 06:14 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:14 |
| superm1 | first off, get a live disk and boot off of it. run a file system check on the drives | 06:14 |
| cbrunner | a live disk? | 06:14 |
| cbrunner | like the mythbuntu disk? | 06:14 |
| superm1 | yeah like a live cd | 06:14 |
| superm1 | a mythbuntu disk, ubuntu disk, whatever you've got handy | 06:14 |
| superm1 | they should all have the tools you'll need | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | I got a mythbuntu disk | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | so | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | when I start that up | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | it only has | 06:15 |
| superm1 | open up a terminal | 06:15 |
| superm1 | after it boots up | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | I have a terminal up | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | but the cd doesnt show up in the /media/cdrom folder | 06:15 |
| superm1 | that's fine | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | I was just gonna try to reinstall mythtv | 06:15 |
| superm1 | as long as the hard drives aren't mounted, thats the most important part | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | through the mythbuntu disk | 06:15 |
| cbrunner | oh well im in | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | the os | 06:16 |
| superm1 | well i wouldnt go through and start reinstalling things until you are sure the drive wont cause further corruption | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | I have a terminal open | 06:16 |
| superm1 | yeah you *need* to do this off a live cd | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | I dont think there is any corruption | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | so what should I do | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | get to the boot: | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | prompt? | 06:16 |
| cbrunner | I can get there | 06:16 |
| superm1 | so i'm saying boot off the live cd and run fsck.ext3 on the partitions that are ext3 | 06:16 |
| superm1 | and then fsck.xfs on partitions that are xfs | 06:16 |
| superm1 | etc | 06:16 |
| superm1 | hit enter at the live cd prompt | 06:17 |
| superm1 | and it should boot the live cd | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | yep it does | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | and a menu comes up | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | like | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | Mythbuntu Live Environment | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | Install Mytbuntu | 06:17 |
| cbrunner | etc | 06:18 |
| superm1 | right so pick live env | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | so that brings me to my next problem | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | picking any of those options | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | does not do anything | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | but I dont know if its because I cant see the whole screen | 06:18 |
| superm1 | so you'll need safe graphics mode | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | and its printing something at the bottom | 06:18 |
| superm1 | i think it's F6 | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | let me try that | 06:18 |
| cbrunner | pressing | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | f6 | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | brings up | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | what I can barely see as a box | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | at the bottom | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | the only option I can see | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | is aspi=off | 06:19 |
| superm1 | yeah there is a menu option in there for safe graphics somewhere | 06:19 |
| superm1 | maybe it's F4 then | 06:19 |
| superm1 | if you dont see it | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | let me try that | 06:19 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:20 |
| cbrunner | f4 did bring one up | 06:20 |
| cbrunner | with a safe graphics mode | 06:20 |
| cbrunner | I hit enter on it | 06:20 |
| cbrunner | and nothing happened | 06:20 |
| superm1 | yeah it's a checkbox | 06:21 |
| superm1 | so pick the live option again after its checked | 06:21 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:21 |
| cbrunner | still not working | 06:22 |
| cbrunner | safe graphics mode makes me slightly able to see a little more of the screen | 06:22 |
| cbrunner | but not much | 06:22 |
| cbrunner | and I still cant go into live environment | 06:23 |
| superm1 | do you have a different screen you can use? | 06:24 |
| superm1 | maybe a monitor? | 06:24 |
| cbrunner | haha currently no | 06:24 |
| cbrunner | I gotta get one but I cant do that tonight | 06:24 |
| cbrunner | this really sucks | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | cause I had all the settings perfect | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | in my xorg.conf | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | for my screen | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | but for some reason it doesnt work | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | I think it must be failing to load the nvidia drivers | 06:25 |
| superm1 | i'm wondering if more hardware got toasted in this overheat than you are thinking | 06:25 |
| superm1 | it could have easily been a fan on the vid card burned out | 06:25 |
| superm1 | or seized | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | yea | 06:25 |
| cbrunner | its an onboard video | 06:25 |
| superm1 | which would explain a lot of this | 06:26 |
| superm1 | well that's less likely then, but i wouldn't rule out hardware failure here | 06:26 |
| superm1 | especially if you are having issues on the *live disk* | 06:26 |
| cbrunner | hardware failure on the video card | 06:26 |
| superm1 | got an extra vid card you can add to the system? | 06:26 |
| cbrunner | I guess the only way to know that would be to try a normal monitor | 06:26 |
| cbrunner | nah I dont have any video cards here | 06:26 |
| superm1 | less useful then | 06:27 |
| superm1 | well if worst comes to worst, you can try to grab a server cd or alternate cd to boot up and try to recover as many settings and data as you can | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | its really weird the network isnt working | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | I already backed up | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | all the data | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | and settings | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | onto a different drive | 06:27 |
| cbrunner | I just wanna try to reinstall the damn thing | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | but the mythbuntu cd wont work | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | also when i book into ubuntu | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | it says | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | HAL failed to load! | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | what is HAL? | 06:28 |
| superm1 | ... | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | book = boot | 06:28 |
| cbrunner | its strange because the bios screen | 06:30 |
| cbrunner | looks like the correct resolution | 06:30 |
| cbrunner | or at least a viewable resolution | 06:30 |
| superm1 | well low resolution likely | 06:30 |
| superm1 | eg 640x480 | 06:30 |
| superm1 | or similar | 06:30 |
| cbrunner | yea | 06:31 |
| cbrunner | why cant I get that low res | 06:32 |
| cbrunner | in the live cd | 06:32 |
| superm1 | well could be other memory failure | 06:32 |
| superm1 | if this is onboard vid, it's probably using shared mem | 06:32 |
| cbrunner | should I do a memory test in the bios? | 06:33 |
| superm1 | on the live cd | 06:33 |
| superm1 | it will take a while though | 06:33 |
| superm1 | its a boot option on that cd | 06:34 |
| superm1 | like run it for 6-12 hours | 06:34 |
| cbrunner | yea | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | I noticed that | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | but I cant use any option | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | on the live cd | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | except boot from hard drive | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | hitting enter on any of them | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | result in nothing | 06:36 |
| cbrunner | except boot from drive | 06:37 |
| cbrunner | which boots from the drive | 06:37 |
| superm1 | hit esc on the the grub screen there then | 06:37 |
| superm1 | the memtest option is there too | 06:37 |
| cbrunner | ok | 06:38 |
| cbrunner | im running memtest | 06:40 |
| cbrunner | from there | 06:40 |
| cbrunner | did you say it takes 6-12 hours? | 06:40 |
| cbrunner | looks like it does | 06:41 |
| cbrunner | only at 6% | 06:41 |
| cbrunner | alright im gonna goto bed and leave this running I guess | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | and try to get access to another monitor | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | thanks for the help | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | this test though does correctly show | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | the full screen | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | is there any type of mythbuntu installer | 06:42 |
| cbrunner | that is text only? | 06:42 |
| TazgodX | hmm, i can't get my mythweb to upload cover art for movies, i hit edit and select the cover art, and nothing happens | 09:41 |
| TazgodX | can anyone tell me where mythbuntu stores the cover art for videos? | 09:57 |
| TazgodX | well, found most of my problems | 12:55 |
| TazgodX | new question, is there a known way to be able to upload thumbnails from mythweb? when i upload them i see them in mythweb fine, but they won't show on my mythbox. until i change CHMOD to 777 of the image | 12:56 |
| city_wok | hi guys, i'll be installing mythbuntu for the first time shortly, should i go for the 8.04.1 or the 8.10 alpha 4 release? | 14:14 |
| === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop | ||
| superm1 | city_wok, for the first time, 8.04.1 | 14:54 |
| superm1 | city_wok, alpha releases are just that, alpha quality :) | 14:54 |
| city_wok | kk just making sure. many thanks | 14:55 |

| stevieman | Does anyone have any experience with irrecord? I keep getting this error message when I run irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 IIRC "irrecord: gap not found, can't continue" | 17:09 |
| stevieman | My IR receiver works as I can use the hauppauge remote to control mythtv | 17:09 |
| stevieman | I'm trying to read the codes for a STB remote and create a blaster script. | 17:10 |
| jphillip | stevieman perhaps the receiver can't read the IR your remote is sending it? | 17:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which IR receiver is it? | 17:15 |
| jphillip | hauppauge only receives the phillips controls IIRC | 17:34 |
| oasisone | hi, i installed mythubuntu, everything sems to be working except the watch tv function wich doesnt staret, how could i see if the drivers are installed correctly | 17:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | oasisone, doesn't start? | 17:49 |
| oasisone | yes, when i click on it it doesnt start | 17:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | can you pastebin your backend log? | 17:49 |
| oasisone | everything else seems to be working fine | 17:49 |
| oasisone | where can i find this log,in /var/log? | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !logs | 17:50 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !pastebin | 17:51 |
| Zinn | when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 17:51 |
| oasisone | ok | 17:51 |
| oasisone | one sec | 17:51 |
| oasisone | ok | 17:54 |
| oasisone | ERROR: no valid capturre cards are defined in the database | 17:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm, well thats not exactly pastebinning your log file, but it works I guess | 17:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | looks like you need to go re-run mythtv-setup | 17:56 |
| oasisone | sorry but im on my lappie and mythtv is on my tv | 17:56 |
| oasisone | aha, what futher | 17:56 |
| oasisone | (my tv card has been installed correctly by ubuntu 7.04 | 17:57 |
| oasisone | so i supposed it should work also here | 17:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is this a fresh install? | 17:58 |
| oasisone | yes | 17:58 |
| oasisone | on a new pc | 17:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, well you need to configure mythtv to use your cards | 17:59 |
| oasisone | im in the capture ard setup( | 17:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and get guide data and such | 17:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !manual | 17:59 |
| Zinn | http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual | 17:59 |
| oasisone | my card is an avertv somethin | 17:59 |
| oasisone | in probed info it has found the correct card | 18:00 |
| oasisone | i see | 18:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | oasisone, well that doens't help me a whole lot. Grab the manual, it should guide you through the steps | 18:00 |
| oasisone | and video device is /dev/video0 | 18:00 |
| oasisone | i went throu the manual:/ | 18:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well it may have probed your device, but you need to know whether it is a v4l device, hardware encoder, etc | 18:02 |
| oasisone | ok | 18:02 |
| oasisone | (the card has a bt878a chip on it) | 18:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC, probably the v4l one then | 18:04 |
| oasisone | so, in card type there is analogue v4l card selected | 18:07 |
| oasisone | in video device is /dev/video0 | 18:07 |
| oasisone | robed info bt878 video | 18:08 |
| oasisone | vbi device /dev/dsp | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, looks like that part is setup then | 18:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now do steps 3 and 4 | 18:08 |
| oasisone | one sec | 18:08 |
| oasisone | ill check the manual | 18:08 |
| oasisone | hmm, in the chanel scaner it doesnt let me scan for channels | 18:11 |
| oasisone | plus | 18:11 |
| oasisone | i annot delete the cards added to the system | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you delete the cards by highlighting them and hitting the d key | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you setup guide data? | 18:11 |
| oasisone | no | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to do that | 18:12 |
| oasisone | whats the guide data? | 18:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | channel data, like what shows are on when and such. You have to set that up even if you set it up and none | 18:13 |
| oasisone | aha | 18:14 |
| oasisone | one sec | 18:14 |
| oasisone | i set it up, no grabber, western europe but i had to type in manually the video source name | 18:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 18:16 |
| oasisone | now, channel scanner is still grayed out | 18:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you connect the tuner and channel data in step 4 | 18:18 |
| oasisone | UH! | 18:19 |
| oasisone | wait wait | 18:19 |
| oasisone | something seems to be working | 18:19 |
| oasisone | sure, antenna isnt connected, but still its scanning(at least were further one step | 18:20 |
| oasisone | i think it was because the video source wasnt written anywhere it was on none the whole time | 18:21 |
| oasisone | ok, its connecting time, ill be back after a econd scan | 18:22 |
| oasisone | thank you guys, it works!!! | 18:30 |
| oasisone | wow, i can even scroll back(like ive seen on tv,sorry, im from romania, technology gets here later) | 18:31 |
| oasisone | ok, ill go and enjoy the luxury of scroll back tv | 18:32 |
| oasisone | thank you again guys | 18:32 |
| stevieman | tgm4883_laptop: Sorry I ran out for lunch. The receiver is the one that came with the PVR-150 card. | 18:47 |
| stevieman | jphillip: Is there a command other than IIRC that I should use for a generic STB? | 18:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | stevieman, yea you can only use the hauppauge remote with that one | 18:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to get a new receiver | 18:48 |
| stevieman | tgm4883_laptop: You're kidding right? So like a serial port receiver? | 18:48 |
| stevieman | tgm4883_laptop:I can't believe I need to get another IR receiver just to read the hex codes from my remote. | 18:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hey don't blame us, blame hauppauge | 18:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you could get a serial ir receiver, or probably something like the mceusb2 receiver | 18:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | just a standard usb one | 18:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats the same crap error I was getting though when I tried to do the same thing that you are | 18:55 |
| stevieman | tgm4883_laptop: Oh I'm not blaming you, just a statement of disbelief :) so dumb | 18:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i agree | 18:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | since their remote is so cheesy anyway | 18:56 |
| stevieman | in my basement in a box far far away lays a serial receiver | 18:57 |
| stevieman | well it's time to conduct an interview | 18:57 |
| sabhain | got a friend trying to use an ATI Radeon 9600 .. wasting his time? or not? He can get video playback from Totem, but not the internal player from mythbuntu .. | 19:04 |
| stevieman | Does anyone have a sample script of a blaster script? | 20:22 |
| zabbadapp | how do i see what version of mythtv i'm running | 20:34 |
| stevieman | mythtv --version? | 20:44 |
| stevieman | mythbackend --version maybe? I can't remember | 20:44 |
| zabbadapp | i found it (looked in synaptic what was installed) ... | 20:45 |
| stevieman | you could do that too | 20:47 |
| stevieman | :) | 20:47 |
| zabbadapp | anyone tried xbmc as a mythtv-frontend to a mythbuntu backend? ... the xbmc-mythtv-scripts at sourceforge are for myth 0.20 (i'm 0.21), but it should apparently have integrated support by now ... | 20:49 |
| zabbadapp | i just can't find any settings | 20:51 |
| jphillip | zabbadapp http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xbox_Frontend#Running_XBMC_with_native_MythTV_Support | 20:57 |
| jphillip | I'd venture your xbmc build isn't new enough | 20:57 |
| zabbadapp | thank you! i could not find any setting even close to mythtv-stuff ... but your link stated the (too easy) myth:// protocol ... i'm gonna try and see if it accepts it :) | 21:00 |
| zabbadapp | it coredumps when trying to list recordings :-( | 21:22 |
| stevieman | I never got xboxmyth running. I did get xbmc myth script running but it was very very very basic and limited | 21:28 |
| jphillip | the script is meh | 21:43 |
| jphillip | xbox myth was full featured, but slowwwww | 21:43 |
| jphillip | xbox only has 50 some megs of ram, and is a celeron 400mhz | 21:43 |
| stevieman | So does anyone have or know where I can find a blaster script (or howto) so that I can make my own? | 21:50 |
| bobbob1016 | I'm looking at http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.4 to enable the realtime kernel for myth, so video gets priority. It says I need PAM .79+, where would I find that? | 22:15 |
| toma | hi, one of my repositories is http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/, but that does not exist anymore, to what should i change that? | 22:44 |
