| mryanbrown | Hello, I just did a clean install + latest updates + restricted ati driver install of ubuntu 8.04.1 and installed mythbuntu both backend, frontend, and desktop | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| mryanbrown | I'm trying to get firewire enabled to capture from my Scientific-Atlanta 8300HDC | 00:45 |
| mryanbrown | Do I need to have the MySQL setup for the backend inorder to use the frontend viewing capabilities? | 00:46 |
| Shadow__X | you need mysql setup to use mythtv | 00:56 |
| Xklark_ | How do I reset the mysql password used by mythtv in mythubuntu? | 00:57 |
| Xklark_ | I just set it up, and its not connecting becuase i mistyped the pass in setup | 00:57 |
| squish102 | isnt there a file called mysql.txt or something? | 00:57 |
| Xklark_ | is that for the actual mysql server? or what mythtv uses to connect to it | 00:58 |
| squish102 | in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 00:58 |
| squish102 | what mythtv uses to connect, afaik | 00:59 |
| Shadow__X | Xklark_, goto etc/mythtv | 00:59 |
| Shadow__X | and the pass is there | 00:59 |
| Xklark_ | k | 00:59 |
| Shadow__X | ah squish102 | 00:59 |
| Shadow__X | damn you | 00:59 |
| squish102 | im wide awake today ;) | 00:59 |
| Shadow__X | yeah ya got me | 00:59 |
| Xklark_ | oh i found it, thank you squish102 and Shadow__X | 01:00 |
| Shadow__X | yup | 01:00 |
| Xklark_ | tvserv@tvserv:/etc/mythtv$ mysql -h localhost -u mythtv -p mythconverg | 01:01 |
| Xklark_ | Enter password: | 01:01 |
| Xklark_ | ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 01:01 |
| Xklark_ | not working :( | 01:01 |
| Xklark_ | im using the pass in the mysql.txt | 01:01 |
| Xklark_ | brb a few minutes | 01:01 |
| mryanbrown | whats the best way to setup mysql for mythtv, i see it presents a preferred username/database/pass but that isnt whats created during the mysql install | 01:02 |
| mryanbrown | do i add the user? | 01:02 |
| bobbob1016 | If I want something to run at startup, I just have to add it to my /etc/rc.local, right? | 01:07 |
| hads | Depends how you want to run it and what you want to run. | 01:09 |
| hads | There's several ways. | 01:10 |
| bobbob1016 | I was thinking I'd want them to run at boot, but now that I think about it I'd want them to run only during either idle time, or between certain hours. | 01:11 |
| hads | Well you may be able to achieve that with cron and nice | 01:11 |
| bobbob1016 | I've heard of cron, what is nice? How would I do that? I've heard about it, but is there a good tutorial? | 01:12 |
| hads | This is what Firefox redirected me to when I typed 'linux nice' into the address bar. | 01:13 |
| hads | http://www.computerhope.com/unix/unice.htm | 01:13 |
| bobbob1016 | hads, Never thought to use the address bar for that. Thanks | 01:14 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so does anyone know how to get a firewire stb sommunicating with mythbuntu again? | 01:15 |
| hads | Not I | 01:15 |
| c3rb3rus5 | stopped working quite a while ago, just never got a chance to troubleshoot. | 01:15 |
| hads | Firewire isn't used much outside the US | 01:15 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i wouldn't use it if my tuner card would work correctly | 01:16 |
| hads | You might try your luck in #mythtv-users | 01:16 |
| c3rb3rus5 | it has this pattern of working for me for a long time. then dying for along time | 01:16 |
| mryanbrown | chilli cheese fries to the rescue | 01:22 |
| mryanbrown | So Should I setup mythtv to use my actual sql root login? or create a user in mysql for mythtv witht he specified pass/user and table? | 01:31 |
| Xklark_ | i have the same question mryanbrown | 01:35 |
| mryanbrown | i think im just gonna make the mythtv user | 01:40 |
| Xklark_ | but the database doesnt exist | 01:40 |
| Xklark_ | ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mythconverg' | 01:40 |
| mryanbrown | can create it | 01:40 |
| Xklark_ | mryanbrown | 01:42 |
| Xklark_ | sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 01:42 |
| Xklark_ | do that | 01:42 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ok.... so firewire was working for about 1 second... then it crapped out again | 01:43 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so its not 5c encryption | 01:44 |
| Shadow__X | do firewire tester | 01:55 |
| c3rb3rus5 | doesnt seem to be on in the version i have... .21 | 01:57 |
| c3rb3rus5 | mythprime is what i was using | 01:57 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ok so here is my seemingly reproducible sequence | 02:03 |
| c3rb3rus5 | mythprime does not prime successfully | 02:03 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so i pull the plug onthe stb | 02:04 |
| c3rb3rus5 | wait a min | 02:04 |
| c3rb3rus5 | plug it back in | 02:04 |
| c3rb3rus5 | when it reboots, i run mythprime... the first p2p prime fails, the subsequent broadcast prime succeeds then all p2p primes are successful | 02:04 |
| c3rb3rus5 | no matter what channel i'm on | 02:05 |
| c3rb3rus5 | known working ones | 02:05 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so i go into front end | 02:05 |
| c3rb3rus5 | and try to watch live tv | 02:05 |
| c3rb3rus5 | see about a second clip then the vid freezes, and i hear hard disk activity | 02:05 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i exit front end and now all priming fails | 02:06 |
| c3rb3rus5 | rinse and repeat | 02:06 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 02:08 |
| dthacker | Hi. I let my data direct membership expire and I'm having problems with mythfilldatabase. When I run mythfilldatabase -v it tells me it's missing an argument. What can I do to diagnose? | 02:50 |
| dthacker | btw, yes I renewed the membership and it shows active. | 02:50 |
| Shadow__X | mythfilldatabase --refresh-all | 02:52 |
| Xklark_ | Hi, I just installed mythbuntu, and configured everything (i think), but when I run the front end on the local comp, it is unable to connect to the backend | 03:08 |
| Xklark_ | i started up the backend and the mysql database, but its still not working | 03:08 |
| Xklark_ | where is the mythtv frontend so I can see if the configurations are correct? | 03:08 |
| squish102 | Xklark_ did u set up the backend to accept external mysql connections? | 03:11 |
| squish102 | in the mychcontrol app, towards the bottom. if i remember correctly | 03:12 |
| Xklark_ | ill chick | 03:15 |
| Xklark_ | check* | 03:15 |
| Xklark_ | whick setup squish102? | 03:18 |
| Xklark_ | which* | 03:18 |
| squish102 | oh.. um try the | 03:19 |
| squish102 | mythbuntu control center | 03:20 |
| squish102 | under system services | 03:20 |
| squish102 | mysql service, it mentions something there | 03:20 |
| Xklark_ | couldn't find anything in there | 03:28 |
| Xklark_ | i'm probably going to end up reinstalling the entire thing following the doc | 03:35 |
| Xklark_ | i probably messed up somewere within the setup | 03:35 |
| squish102 | Xklark_ im looking at it i think | 03:42 |
| squish102 | in mythbuntu control center -> system services -> enable mysql service | 03:43 |
| Xklark_ | yea that was enabled | 03:44 |
| squish102 | it says 'If you will be using a remote frontend ot backend, you will need to enable' | 03:44 |
| squish102 | oh ok, what about firewall on backend? | 03:45 |
| Xklark_ | squish102 its on the same server - the front and back | 03:46 |
| Xklark_ | im just going to reinstall | 03:46 |
| Xklark_ | my computer is messed up though, it keeps ejecting the cd drive when i boot | 03:46 |
| Xklark_ | i have no idea why, but it ejects sometimes - i think it has a mind of its own | 03:46 |
| Xklark_ | it goes in, out, in, out multiple times <_< | 03:46 |
| squish102 | lol | 03:48 |
| squish102 | oh ok if it is the same machine... btw are u sure the backend is running? | 03:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mikal, ping | 03:56 |
| Xklark_ | squish102, i gave up on that effort, im just going to reinstall tommorow following the installation manual | 03:58 |
| Xklark_ | thats how it happens for me - do it once and mess up, then have to do it again with the manul | 03:58 |
| squish102 | been there, done that | 03:59 |
| Xklark_ | :) | 04:00 |
| Xklark_ | thanks for all the help squish102, I really appreciate it | 04:00 |
| Xklark_ | i'm going to head off to bed now | 04:00 |
| squish102 | gl | 04:00 |
| mikal | tgm4883_laptop: pong | 04:03 |
| mikal | Sorry I've been real busy recently | 04:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mikal, yea I figured you had. Still going though all your email? | 04:03 |
| mikal | Yeah, I am three behind at the moment I think | 04:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | 3 days? | 04:04 |
| mikal | I'm trying to nail down the crazy characters in show titles bug at the moment | 04:04 |
| mikal | Three emails | 04:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 04:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you get a chance to look at that patch I submitted? | 04:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it was from a week or so ago | 04:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | also, I think I figured out why people were getting that error about no video dir | 04:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I think it was people installing mythnettv and trying to use it on systems without a backend | 04:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats just a guess though | 04:08 |
| TazgodX | anyone here have an iphone and use one of those remotes for mythtv? | 04:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i've semi fixed that, as now you can't set the cron job if you don't have a backend installed | 04:09 |
| === superm1|away is now known as superm1 | ||
| TazgodX | take that as a no | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | TazgodX, IIRC, superm1 tried it | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it doesn't work so well | 04:13 |
| superm1 | i didn't do anything | 04:13 |
| superm1 | er wait what's this about? | 04:13 |
| superm1 | oh iphone as a remote | 04:14 |
| superm1 | yeah i tried it, but the app is pretty flaky | 04:14 |
| mryanbrown | anyone know what this is? http://pastebin.com/m5a2d38ea | 04:14 |
| mryanbrown | ic ant get it to view firewire cablebox | 04:14 |
| TazgodX | which one did you tyr? | 04:17 |
| TazgodX | try? | 04:17 |
| TazgodX | there are 2 | 04:17 |
| TazgodX | i was wondering if one was better than the other | 04:18 |
| superm1 | i tried both | 04:20 |
| superm1 | one of them connects more reliably | 04:20 |
| TazgodX | they both suck | 04:20 |
| superm1 | but the UI sucks | 04:20 |
| TazgodX | ok | 04:20 |
| superm1 | the other one has a slick dynamic UI, but will only connect 1/10 times | 04:20 |
| TazgodX | i had high hopes, but guess ill hope for an update | 04:21 |
| superm1 | well there was an update for the one with the slick ui recently | 04:21 |
| superm1 | i havent tried it since then | 04:21 |
| superm1 | so maybe its gotten better | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | one of these days i have to finish this project again, i still havn't even connected my cable box to it | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | superm1, know which one that was? | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | ill give it a try | 04:22 |
| superm1 | mymote | 04:22 |
| superm1 | that's the one with the neat ui | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | thanks | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | ill give it a try | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | let you know what i find | 04:22 |
| TazgodX | superm1, you get AT&T? last we talked you were thinking about it | 04:26 |
| superm1 | TazgodX, na i never did | 04:35 |
| TazgodX | well if you do i have found you can't use coax from the box to mythtv. you have to use S-Vid | 04:37 |
| TazgodX | other than that, i can't get it working | 04:38 |
| TazgodX | lol | 04:38 |
| wheels1 | how to Boot Mythbuntu off a USB flash drive? | 06:26 |
| foxbuntu | !google | wheels1 | 06:31 |
| Zinn | wheels1: This seems like a question that you probably could have solved by looking the first few results from a Google search. Try to make sure to do the appropriate research before asking a question ( http://www.google.com/ ) | 06:31 |
| darthanubis | should mythtv users be running the ubuntu-server-kernel, since it is a LAMP package? | 07:41 |
| hads | Huh? | 07:44 |
| darthanubis | mythtv is a server basically no? | 07:46 |
| darthanubis | mythtv is a server basically, no? | 07:46 |
| darthanubis | mythtv is a server, basically, no? | 07:46 |
| superm1 | if you run a backend only sure | 07:47 |
| superm1 | but if you are running a frontend, you need more priority to user processes | 07:47 |
| superm1 | and pre-emptivitiy | 07:47 |

| dgandhi | I'm thinking of setting up a mythTV system, I have a dishNetwork dual reciever (one output controlled by IR, one by UHF remote). I know you can IR blast to control the first one, how can I control the side that runs on a UHF remote? | 13:54 |
