| rockyrock | hi guys, i can't setup mythbuntu in my Ubuntu or even when i use the live version. I get this message at the end of "Launch MythTV setup". | 02:06 |
|---|---|---|
| rockyrock | what's the problem?? | 02:06 |
| rockyrock | I have ubuntu hardy, and i installed all needed packages like: Mythbuntu Control Center + mysql ....etc | 02:07 |
| rockyrock | i don't know what's the problem!!! | 02:07 |
| rockyrock | i also get the same result when i try to setup it in the Live CD of mythbuntu 8.04.1 | 02:08 |
| rockyrock | sorry i didn't mention the message!!! The message is this: "Cannot login to database" | 02:24 |
| rockyrock | :) | 02:24 |
| superm1 | with an existing backend? | 02:24 |
| superm1 | this was just a frontend you were setting up? | 02:25 |
| rockyrock | yeah | 02:25 |
| superm1 | so that means that you dont have the password right on the frontend | 02:26 |
| superm1 | or the backend isn't listening for connections on mysql | 02:26 |
| superm1 | test the connection using mcc | 02:26 |
| superm1 | on the mysql tab | 02:26 |
| rockyrock | superm1: what's mysql tab?? or where can i find it? | 02:28 |
| superm1 | open mythbuntu control center | 02:28 |
| superm1 | and it's on one of the side tabs | 02:28 |
| superm1 | mythtv configuration tab actually | 02:29 |
| rockyrock | i found it, but how to do mcc?? | 02:29 |
| superm1 | mcc just stands for mythbuntu control centre | 02:31 |
| rockyrock | when i click "Test mysql connection", i get Failure! | 02:31 |
| rockyrock | i'm sure i have the right password, cuz i got it from here: /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 02:32 |
| rockyrock | i will tell what i've done. I installed the packages, then directly i clicked "launch mythTV setup" in mcc. I didn't do any setup to backend or something!!! | 02:33 |
| superm1 | okay so then make sure that mysql port is open | 02:33 |
| superm1 | on the backend | 02:33 |
| superm1 | turn on the "Mysql" service on that box | 02:34 |
| rockyrock | how to do that? | 02:34 |
| superm1 | open up mcc on that box | 02:34 |
| superm1 | and its on the services tab | 02:34 |
| rockyrock | i did | 02:35 |
| rockyrock | some kind of installation is running | 02:35 |
| superm1 | have you restarted since then? | 02:35 |
| rockyrock | what do you mean by "restarted"?? The computer or the mcc?? | 02:36 |
| superm1 | the computer | 02:36 |
| superm1 | i dont remember if it takes effect immediately | 02:36 |
| rockyrock | should i go to restart now? | 02:36 |
| superm1 | well you can check if the port is open now | 02:36 |
| superm1 | netstat -ant | grep 3306 | 02:36 |
| rockyrock | how? | 02:36 |
| rockyrock | i got this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 02:37 |
| superm1 | okay so it's listening | 02:37 |
| rockyrock | what to do now? | 02:37 |
| superm1 | hum | 02:37 |
| superm1 | cry? | 02:37 |
| rockyrock | :'( | 02:38 |
| rockyrock | good? | 02:38 |
| superm1 | well on the frontend, did you make sure you entered the right ip address for the backend? | 02:38 |
| superm1 | in that mcc instance? | 02:38 |
| rockyrock | I'm not even sure if i have the backend installed and setup properly | 02:40 |
| rockyrock | ! | 02:40 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about | 02:40 |
| rockyrock | how can i check it? | 02:40 |
| superm1 | well if you cant connect to the sql database, that's a moot point | 02:40 |
| rockyrock | superm1: so...? | 02:41 |
| rockyrock | i feel that the problem is from the backend. How can i check if it's installed and running properly? | 02:41 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, well the backend doesn't matter if sql doesnt work | 02:42 |
| superm1 | because it has to connect to sql first before the backen | 02:42 |
| superm1 | dd | 02:42 |
| rockyrock | so?? | 02:42 |
| superm1 | so answer my other question.. | 02:42 |
| superm1 | are you sure you entered the right ip address on the frontend mcc? | 02:43 |
| rockyrock | which one? | 02:43 |
| rockyrock | no i'm not | 02:43 |
| rockyrock | i don't know what you're talking about!!! | 02:43 |
| superm1 | okay so in mcc on the frontend | 02:43 |
| superm1 | it asks for mysql user, mysql pass | 02:43 |
| superm1 | mysql database | 02:43 |
| superm1 | and ip address (or hostname) | 02:43 |
| superm1 | that ip address is the one of the backend | 02:43 |
| rockyrock | you mean Mysql server, righ? | 02:44 |
| superm1 | well they're the same box aren't they? | 02:44 |
| superm1 | should be the same ip addresss.. | 02:44 |
| rockyrock | yeah i have only one computer | 02:44 |
| rockyrock | Mysql server: localhost | 02:44 |
| superm1 | wait this is the same computer? | 02:44 |
| superm1 | as in frontend and backend on same box? | 02:45 |
| rockyrock | yeah | 02:45 |
| superm1 | oh that's a difference scenario | 02:46 |
| rockyrock | thnx god | 02:46 |
| rockyrock | :) | 02:46 |
| superm1 | if you dont have anything else actually working yet here, just redo your install | 02:46 |
| superm1 | it's a lot faster than debugging what the problem was | 02:46 |
| rockyrock | i get always the same result, even when i boot from the Live CD | 02:47 |
| superm1 | you wont be able to do it off the live cd | 02:47 |
| superm1 | the sql service isn't running | 02:47 |
| superm1 | it's only running after you finish install | 02:47 |
| rockyrock | ok i didn't know that. | 02:48 |
| rockyrock | but i want it to run on my Ubuntu Hardy | 02:48 |
| rockyrock | i don't want to install other distro | 02:48 |
| superm1 | okay well then you have to debug what went wrong here | 02:49 |
| superm1 | most likely you chose a root password when you installed the packages | 02:49 |
| rockyrock | yeah | 02:49 |
| superm1 | and that throws things off | 02:49 |
| superm1 | dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 02:49 |
| superm1 | and enter it when its asked for | 02:49 |
| rockyrock | ok, i got a question: On what host does the mysql server reside? | 02:50 |
| superm1 | localhost | 02:51 |
| rockyrock | next, asks for the root? i pressed enter. Now it asks for the password | 02:52 |
| rockyrock | what to do? | 02:52 |
| rockyrock | enter any password? | 02:52 |
| bluntz | can I watch tv live with mythtv? | 02:52 |
| superm1 | enter the root mysql password you chose before | 02:53 |
| superm1 | bluntz, sure | 02:53 |
| bluntz | ok with a cable tv tuner? | 02:54 |
| rockyrock | Q: Will you be using other computers running mythTV? Yes or No? | 02:54 |
| superm1 | sure | 02:54 |
| superm1 | bluntz, ^ | 02:54 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, well will you? | 02:54 |
| rockyrock | no | 02:54 |
| superm1 | then answer no :) | 02:54 |
| rockyrock | i did, and it disappeared. | 02:55 |
| rockyrock | what to do next? | 02:55 |
| superm1 | run dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common | 02:55 |
| superm1 | keep all the defaults | 02:55 |
| superm1 | and then try running mythtv-setup | 02:55 |
| rockyrock | it gave me this msg: * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [ OK ] | 02:55 |
| bluntz | I always manage to screw up the setup | 02:57 |
| bluntz | and the tv listings especially never worked | 02:58 |
| bluntz | can it be setup to work without the listings? | 03:00 |
| superm1 | sure | 03:00 |
| superm1 | makes less sense | 03:00 |
| rockyrock | superm1: when i clicked mythtv-setup, some "them image processing" happened and now i'm in the Main. I have these categories: General, Capture card...etc | 03:00 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, okay so it worked | 03:00 |
| bluntz | I couldnt find a free alternative | 03:00 |
| superm1 | carry on | 03:00 |
| superm1 | bluntz, depends where in the world you live | 03:00 |
| rockyrock | superm1: how to detect my card? | 03:00 |
| bluntz | us | 03:00 |
| superm1 | bluntz, in the US & canada, you can use schedules direct or over the air listings | 03:01 |
| superm1 | bluntz, or nothing at all | 03:01 |
| superm1 | bluntz, your call | 03:01 |
| bluntz | do you have a walkthru listed anywhere? | 03:01 |
| superm1 | look at the pdf on the website | 03:02 |
| superm1 | it will walk you through mythtv-setup | 03:02 |
| bluntz | I used a video for mythdora last time and got close | 03:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and by nothing | 03:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | he means you have to setup none | 03:03 |
| superm1 | theres a video for mythbuntu out there too, but the mythtv-setup part is the same | 03:03 |
| bluntz | and 1 more | 03:03 |
| bluntz | can it be run without it taking over the whole sys? | 03:04 |
| bluntz | would be nice if someone made a live mythtv distro | 03:05 |
| bluntz | hehe | 03:05 |
| superm1 | bluntz, doesn't make sense because you need to have a disk for buffer at very minimum | 03:07 |
| bluntz | it could use my swap | 03:07 |
| bluntz | but anyway | 03:07 |
| bluntz | wouldnt work for me cuz my card has to have the modules reloaded every boot | 03:08 |
| bluntz | kernel dont set it up rite | 03:08 |
| rockyrock | superm1: i have a DVB card, should i use PAL TV format?? This is not mentioned in the pdf. | 03:08 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, depends on your locale | 03:09 |
| superm1 | if you are somewhere that uses PAL, sure | 03:09 |
| rockyrock | i don't know actually. I have my DVB card connected directly with the Dish. | 03:10 |
| rockyrock | so i don't know | 03:11 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, well where do you live? | 03:11 |
| rockyrock | Syria | 03:11 |
| superm1 | i'm pretty sure you're pal | 03:11 |
| superm1 | http://www.geocities.com/fon_is_Fun/ntsc_or_pal.htm | 03:11 |
| rockyrock | ok | 03:12 |
| rockyrock | what about the channel frequency table? | 03:13 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure what's normally used by you | 03:13 |
| rockyrock | i don't know why do i need that! I should set the frequency of NileSat | 03:13 |
| superm1 | pick something that seems somewhat sensible, and if it doesnt work you can go back | 03:14 |
| rockyrock | ok, but where should i choose the frequencies of the satellite that i want? | 03:14 |
| rockyrock | like Hotbird for example | 03:15 |
| rockyrock | or nilesat | 03:15 |
| superm1 | i'm really not so sure | 03:15 |
| bluntz | I guess myth really needs its own box? will it work on a p3 450? | 03:16 |
| rockyrock | If you're not sure, i have a question now. Can mythtv play DVB channels?? i.e channels from satellites?? | 03:17 |
| superm1 | bluntz, for a backend sure, but for a frontend i would refer to the website for the requirements | 03:19 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, yeah it can | 03:19 |
| superm1 | as long as they're not encrypted | 03:20 |
| superm1 | you'd need a CAM of sorts to use encrypted channels | 03:20 |
| bluntz | Ive always been confused by the frontend/backend scheme | 03:20 |
| superm1 | well you dont need to do them separate | 03:21 |
| superm1 | but its a feature that you can | 03:21 |
| bluntz | do I understand frontend=encoder backend=viewer? | 03:22 |
| superm1 | other way around | 03:22 |
| bluntz | so the p3 would be ok to encode? | 03:23 |
| superm1 | if you have a hardware encoding tv tuner yes | 03:24 |
| superm1 | like a pvr-xxx | 03:24 |
| superm1 | or simila | 03:24 |
| bluntz | its an old pinnacle studio/rave | 03:24 |
| bluntz | analog cable | 03:24 |
| superm1 | thats a framegrabber | 03:24 |
| superm1 | aint gonna do the trick | 03:24 |
| bluntz | so it wont work for myth at all? | 03:25 |
| superm1 | you'll need a more power if you want to use that card | 03:25 |
| rockyrock | superm1: what's the video source?? I didn't understand it from the pdf | 03:26 |
| superm1 | EIT for you likely | 03:26 |
| rockyrock | superm1: what's EIT? | 03:26 |
| bluntz | I have the card in a k7 512 box and it runs all the other tv wares ok | 03:29 |
| bluntz | does anybody here have a box up and running? | 03:30 |
| rockyrock | superm1: what should i name the video source??? I don't know what's video source is. Can you explain it to me plz, cuz how can i name something i don't know what it is? | 03:32 |
| bluntz | /dev/video0 ?????????? | 03:32 |
| cbrunner | hey | 03:33 |
| cbrunner | I am trying to figure out how to set up my turtle bay | 03:33 |
| cbrunner | sound card, and get the optical out to work | 03:33 |
| cbrunner | currently my reciever says its not recieving a signal for it | 03:33 |
| cbrunner | my motherboard has onboard sound as well, I think alsa is using the onboard sound, how do I check? | 03:33 |
| bluntz | kernel has options for turtle beach cards | 03:34 |
| cbrunner | do you know how I could switch it on? | 03:34 |
| bluntz | recompile kernel | 03:34 |
| cbrunner | ok, I gotta recompile | 03:35 |
| bluntz | maybe modprobe if ur lucky | 03:35 |
| cbrunner | ok I guess I will try that | 03:35 |
| cbrunner | the card is detected | 03:35 |
| cbrunner | I can see it under the detected cards | 03:35 |
| cbrunner | I just dont think its being used | 03:35 |
| bluntz | lsmod and see if module loaded | 03:36 |
| bluntz | I run 2 cards also | 03:37 |
| rockyrock | superm1: oh god!!! I found how to scan for channels, but i should enter the frequencies for each channel!!!!! Is there anyway that it can scan for all frequencies for a specific satellite? | 03:37 |
| cbrunner | bluntz, when I look at alsamixer | 03:38 |
| cbrunner | its using the onboard sound | 03:38 |
| cbrunner | I dunno what the module I am looking for in lsmod would be | 03:38 |
| bluntz | I just pick witch card in properties under mixer | 03:39 |
| bluntz | I run both for 8 channell stereo lol | 03:39 |
| cbrunner | in properties | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | under mixer | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | I only see | 03:40 |
| cbrunner | Applications->Settings->Sound | 03:40 |
| bluntz | doubleclik the speaker | 03:40 |
| bluntz | volume control comes up | 03:41 |
| bluntz | look File | 03:41 |
| bluntz | change device | 03:41 |
| bluntz | see it there? | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | let me see | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | yea | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | that was where | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | I changed it before | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | its changed there | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | but it doesnt actually work | 03:42 |
| cbrunner | cause I think alsa isnt using it | 03:42 |
| bluntz | did you run alsaconf? | 03:44 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, sorry i've not worked with satellite directly | 03:46 |
| superm1 | rockyrock, cant help too much more at this point | 03:46 |
| cbrunner | let me try also conf | 03:48 |
| rockyrock | when i try to scan any frequency, i get no channels! I don't know what's the problem. I tried several frequencies that i'm sure they work | 04:00 |

| cbrunner | damn | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | this new mythbuntu | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | detects my hd screen at 1080i | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | the old one I could only get 720p | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | and it took forever to get that | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | this time it instantly detected it | 04:56 |
| cbrunner | and now with the optical sound out | 04:57 |
| cbrunner | it is fuckin sweet | 04:57 |
| cbrunner | for some reason | 05:09 |
| cbrunner | my Hauppage PVR 150 remote | 05:10 |
| cbrunner | doesnt work anymore | 05:10 |
| cbrunner | hey, I am getting this message I think whe lirc is trying to start | 06:13 |

| cbrunner | now I just need to get my damn onboard sound blocked | 06:32 |
| cbrunner | wait | 06:32 |
| cbrunner | I might know how | 06:32 |
| cann | morning, anyone here using wintv nova-s+ with mythbuntu 8.04 ? | 06:52 |
| cbrunner | gotta say | 08:48 |
| cbrunner | mythbuntu 8x is worlds above 7.10 | 08:48 |
| superm1 | yeah the first release was a mad rush for getting things in | 08:52 |
| superm1 | 8.04 is more polishing | 08:52 |
| superm1 | so will be 8.10 | 08:52 |
| superm1 | hopefully 9.04 will be some more reworking and features again | 08:52 |
| hads | And 0.22 :) | 08:53 |
| superm1 | personally i'm thinking that once i've abstracted the installer enough, i won't be stuck focusing on installer bugs most of the cycle like i did for 8.04 and i have been for 8.10 | 08:54 |
| superm1 | which will leave more time for working on the stuff that's interesting to end users | 08:54 |
| cbrunner | that would be awesome | 09:00 |
| cbrunner | I fixed all my issues I had last night superm1 | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | for some reason my mac was creating messed up install cds | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | which was why none of the options were working on the menu | 09:01 |
| superm1 | !stab cbrunner's mac | 09:01 |
| * Zinn stabs cbrunner's mac with a rusty spork. | 09:01 | |
| cbrunner | haha | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | and I got a monitor to use | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | and just reinstalled mythbuntu | 09:01 |
| superm1 | good good | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | and wow it works like a charm | 09:01 |
| superm1 | easy enough solution eh? | 09:01 |
| cbrunner | yea, on 8.0 my display worked flawlessly | 09:02 |
| cbrunner | I get 1080i now | 09:02 |
| cbrunner | and I got my optic audio working | 09:02 |
| cbrunner | which is sweet | 09:02 |
| superm1 | should have done this a while ago it sounds then | 09:04 |
| cbrunner | yea | 09:04 |
| cbrunner | didnt even realize there was a new release | 09:04 |
| cbrunner | the only thing that doesnt seem to be working is the nfs share | 09:05 |
| cbrunner | but I can work on that later | 09:05 |

| famicom | software freedom day is the gayest thing i've ever hyeard of | 10:16 |
| hume | hi... I am in the process of installing mythbuntu for the first time - in the partition manager, it suggests to use two partittions, one 22 % of the HD for /dev/sda3, and the rest for "mythbuntu" - anyone can tell the logic behind this? | 11:08 |
| hume | my intention was to use some 10 GB, rather than the suggested 97 GB, for system, and the rest for films etc, which is more like 5 % for sda3, not 22... but is there a good reason for mythbuntu's suggestion? | 11:09 |
| hume | i've just made a brand new installation of mythbuntu, and configured the computer to use propr drivers (fglrx) - but when watching live TV the image jumps, is not a steady flow. anyone got ideas on what to check? | 12:12 |
| hume | backend runs on other machine, connection via ethernet cable | 12:12 |
| Mez | Hey, any of the devvys around? I need to ask a couple of technical questions regarding what info a frontend needs to connect, and then put forward a suggestion for an app that might make mythbuntu that little bit cooler | 13:08 |
| hume_ | i have a script that I want to run on log in (sshfs-mount) - how do I set this to be done automatically, in xfce / mythbuntu? have used gnome sessions settings before | 13:39 |
| Mez | you can probably do the same... though generally, for stuff like that - I'd set it up as a script to run on boot... | 13:42 |
| Mez | or add to fstab | 13:42 |
| hume_ | fstab is not a good idea, it seems - the network is not up when it tries to mount from fstab... | 13:43 |
| hume_ | go another idea on where to put it? | 13:44 |
| hume_ | Mez, got any idea on where to put it so it is run on boot - after network is up? | 13:46 |
| Mez | hume_, er, yeah, one sec | 13:47 |
| hume_ | ok | 13:48 |
| Mez | create a script called /etc/rc2.d/S99sshfs-mount (the sshfs-mount can be anything) | 13:50 |
| Mez | actually | 13:50 |
| Mez | ignore that | 13:50 |
| Mez | edit /etc/rc.local ... | 13:51 |
| Mez | and add your commands before "exit 0" | 13:51 |

| eimajenthat | I have a single machine running mythbuntu in a standalone install (using the standard option from te 8.04 liveCD installer), and I have another regular Ubuntu desktop machine. The Ubuntu desktop has my music library (mp3 files) on a samba share. What's quickest easiest way to get the Mythbuntu standalone machine to see that samba share as part of its media library? | 17:23 |
| eimajenthat | sorry, that was longer than I'd planned | 17:23 |
| eimajenthat | !samba | 17:25 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about samba | 17:25 |
| eimajenthat | !help | 17:25 |
| Zinn | Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi | 17:25 |
| plan | hello! Anyone knows if it's possible to connect a stb SA explorer 4250 with mythtv throught firewire in ubuntu 8.04?? | 17:58 |
| rhpot1991 | plan: yes, depending on your cable co | 18:09 |

| zabbadapp | Anyone got the xbmcmythtv-script working? The new native support in xbmc for myth:// is lacking, so I decided to try the older py-script from sourceforge. But what is supposed to happen when you start it from the scripts menu? A small progressbar appear for a while, then nothing. The log says "no such file or directory: ./test/languages/English/langinfo.xml". | 18:14 |
| plan | my cable company is videotron... | 18:15 |
| rhpot1991 | plan: basically you need to get the box into debug mode and see if the channels are encrypted | 18:16 |
| rhpot1991 | some may be while others may be open | 18:16 |
| plan | ok... how can I put my box in debug mode? | 18:16 |
| rhpot1991 | then you need to figure out what is open and what isn't and only let the firewire access the open ones by removing the encrypted ones from your source | 18:16 |
| rhpot1991 | I don't know SA only motorolla sorry, google it | 18:17 |
| plan | ok.. thank you very much! | 18:17 |
| plan | rhpot1991: the debug mode on motorolla... is it a software switch or a hardware switch? | 18:22 |
| superm1 | plan, its something with holding the mail button when you turn it off i think | 18:23 |
| superm1 | i forget for sure though | 18:23 |
| plan | ok... when the device is in debug mode, how can I read the debug information? which software do you use to do it? | 18:27 |
| rhpot1991 | plan: its on your screen, you flip through the menus | 18:36 |
| plan | ok thank you again! | 18:36 |
| eimajenthat | When playing a DVD in mythbuntu, using the Internal player, it was real choppy, so I thought I'd try switching it to Xine, which has served me well on my desktop. I'm getting an error about there being no input plugin to handle dvd:/. Googling the error says that it's often caused by not having libdvdcss, but I have libdvdcss2 installed, and libdvdread and libdvdnav. The same DVD works fine in Ubuntu 8.04 on Totem-Xine. Is | 19:18 |
| eimajenthat | there anything mythbuntu does differently in this area that could be causing the trouble? | 19:18 |
| jeff45 | I'm a noob to linux/Mythbuntu: installed 8.04.1 release, configured back end, Sch. direct, but cant watch TV on frontend. I've searched and tried all the solutions I could find but to no avail. I do believe the problem is posting in the log file as follows: 2008-09-19 21:43:26.186 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingLiveTV | 20:40 |

| MythbuntuGuest45 | Hi. I live in Portland Oregon and do not understand which format tuner card to buy for local, over-the-air reception (we have no cable provider and do not want to go satellite. Do I need ATSC, NTSC, QAM? Thank you! John B. | 21:17 |
| squish102 | afaik you need atsc. ntsc is the old analogue and qam is the cable | 21:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest45 | Awesome, thank you for the immediate assistance! There is a lot to learn with this new technology! Thank you again! | 21:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest45, yep. You should get good HD reception from portland too, all of the stations are there | 21:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I live just over a hill in salem and get none :( | 21:23 |
| rhpot1991 | !black% | jeff45 | 21:55 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about black% | 21:55 |
| rhpot1991 | !blank% | jeff45 | 21:55 |
| Zinn | jeff45: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 21:55 |
| olskolirc | can someone tell me, is mythbuntu just a media center or is ubuntu desktop installed as well | 23:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | media center | 23:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can install ubuntu-desktop though if you want | 23:11 |
| olskolirc | ok tgm4883_laptop thanks | 23:12 |
| olskolirc | does mythbuntu work well with a PVR card or do I have to ivtv-tune my channels by hand? | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | works well | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like a PVR-150? | 23:20 |
| feltis | ok this is probably a really stupid question but I could not find the answer searching, how do I upgrade from 8.04.1 to test 8.10 without using CD's? Is it the same as update-manager -d? | 23:31 |
| olskolirc | does mythbuntu already come configured or do i have to set up SQL server and all that it asks for | 23:36 |
| olskolirc | yes tgm4883 PVR-150 is what I have | 23:36 |
| jeff45 | Thanks, Friendly bot Zinn. I had set up some storage directories under storage groups not really knowing what I was doing. deleted them and now it works | 23:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | olskolirc, yes, most things are already setup for you. You will have to run though mythtv-setup. PVR-150's work OOTB. Please read the manual | 23:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !manual | olskolirc | 23:45 |
| Zinn | olskolirc: http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual | 23:45 |
