[00:45] <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
[00:46] <mryanbrown> Do I need to have the MySQL setup for the backend inorder to use the frontend viewing capabilities?
[00:56] <Shadow__X> you need mysql setup to use mythtv
[00:57] <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?
[00:58] <Xklark_> is that for the actual mysql server? or what mythtv uses to connect to it
[00:58] <squish102> in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <Xklark_> oh i found it, thank you squish102 and Shadow__X
[01:00] <Shadow__X> yup
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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?
[01:07] <bobbob1016> If I want something to run at startup, I just have to add it to my /etc/rc.local, right?
[01:09] <hads> Depends how you want to run it and what you want to run.
[01:10] <hads> There's several ways.
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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?
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <bobbob1016> hads, Never thought to use the address bar for that.  Thanks
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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
[01:22] <mryanbrown> chilli cheese fries to the rescue
[01:31] <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?
[01:35] <Xklark_> i have the same question mryanbrown
[01:40] <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
[01:42] <Xklark_> mryanbrown
[01:42] <Xklark_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[01:42] <Xklark_> do that
[01:43] <c3rb3rus5> ok.... so firewire was working for about 1 second... then it crapped out again
[01:44] <c3rb3rus5> so its not 5c encryption
[01:55] <Shadow__X> do firewire tester
[01:57] <c3rb3rus5> doesnt seem to be on in the version i have... .21
[01:57] <c3rb3rus5> mythprime is what i was using
[02:03] <c3rb3rus5> ok so here is my seemingly reproducible sequence
[02:03] <c3rb3rus5> mythprime does not prime successfully
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:06] <c3rb3rus5> i exit front end and now all priming fails
[02:06] <c3rb3rus5> rinse and repeat
[02:08] <Shadow__X> hmm
[02:50] <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.
[02:52] <Shadow__X> mythfilldatabase --refresh-all
[03:08] <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?
[03:11] <squish102> Xklark_ did u set up the backend to accept external mysql connections?
[03:12] <squish102> in the mychcontrol app, towards the bottom. if i remember correctly
[03:15] <Xklark_> ill chick
[03:15] <Xklark_> check*
[03:18] <Xklark_> whick setup squish102?
[03:18] <Xklark_> which*
[03:19] <squish102> oh.. um try the
[03:20] <squish102> mythbuntu control center
[03:20] <squish102> under system services
[03:20] <squish102> mysql service, it mentions something there
[03:28] <Xklark_> couldn't find anything in there
[03:35] <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
[03:42] <squish102> Xklark_  im looking at it i think
[03:43] <squish102> in  mythbuntu control center -> system services -> enable mysql service
[03:44] <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'
[03:45] <squish102> oh ok, what about firewall on backend?
[03:46] <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 <_<
[03:48] <squish102> lol
[03:49] <squish102> oh ok if it is the same machine... btw are u sure the backend is running?
[03:56] <tgm4883_laptop> mikal, ping
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <squish102> been there, done that
[04:00] <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
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <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?
[04:05] <tgm4883_laptop> it was from a week or so ago
[04:06] <tgm4883_laptop> also, I think I figured out why people were getting that error about no video dir
[04:08] <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?
[04:09] <tgm4883_laptop> i've semi fixed that, as now you can't set the cron job if you don't have a backend installed
[04:13] <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?
[04:14] <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
[04:17] <TazgodX> which one did you tyr?
[04:17] <TazgodX> try?
[04:17] <TazgodX> there are 2
[04:18] <TazgodX> i was wondering if one was better than the other
[04:20] <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
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <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
[04:26] <TazgodX> superm1, you get AT&T? last we talked you were thinking about it
[04:35] <superm1> TazgodX, na i never did
[04:37] <TazgodX> well if you do i have found you can't use coax from the box to mythtv. you have to use S-Vid
[04:38] <TazgodX> other than that, i can't get it working
[04:38] <TazgodX> lol
[06:26] <wheels1> how to Boot Mythbuntu off a USB flash drive?
[06:31] <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/ )
[07:41] <darthanubis> should mythtv users be running the ubuntu-server-kernel, since it is a LAMP package?
[07:44] <hads> Huh?
[07:46] <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?
[07:47] <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
[07:50] <darthanubis> thx
[08:42] <mryanbrown> 2008-09-22 20:03:55.968 ChannelBase(5) Error: InitializeInputs():                          Could not get inputs for the capturecard.                         Perhaps you have forgotten to bind video                         sources to your card's inputs?
[08:42] <mryanbrown> anyone know how to fix that?
[08:58] <hads> Bind a video source to your card input.
[08:58] <mryanbrown> how so
[08:58] <hads> mythtv-setup
[08:58] <mryanbrown> ive been in there 4 times
[08:58] <mryanbrown> specifics would help
[09:04] <hads> I just looked in the user guide for you, it's covered in section 9.5
[09:07] <mryanbrown> wheres the one you read at
[09:07] <mryanbrown> the one i have has 7 sections
[09:09] <mryanbrown> and this other ones 9.5 is about icons
[09:15] <mryanbrown> ok i see
[09:26] <mryanbrown> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m2e81c42f it seems the only real error now is ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database. which is lies!
[13:54] <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?
[17:21] <tgm4883_laptop> dgandhi, does that one box receive 2 dish network signals?
[17:58] <john_> how do i change the default movie player for mythtv?
[17:59] <john_> myplayer doesn't play my xvid files properly audio out of sync

[18:39] <RockHound> hi all ... I am wondering why there seem to be no weekly builds anymore. Is this intentional? Or has something change which I missed?
[20:23] <zabbadapp> process "mtd" has about 100% load, what does that mean?
[21:05] <neb__> hi, i'm running intrepid and i'm getting these warnings
[21:05] <neb__> http://www.gibbed.org/~ben/myth.txt
[21:05] <neb__> just wondering if this is a known issue?
[21:07] <neb__> thats not acutally the full output, can paste that if needed
[21:56] <Xklark> i just freshly installed mythbuntu as a primary backend
[21:56] <Xklark> didnt edit anything
[21:56] <Xklark> still in config, but when its setting up backend on the database
[21:56] <Xklark> its says cannot log into database
[21:57] <Xklark> what did i do wrong?
[22:25] <rhpot1991> Xklark: sounds like you fed it the wrong password when it asked what the mysql root password was
[23:10] <dgandhi> tgm4883_laptop: yes, two different channels on one box with two remotes, any way to control the UHF side?
