[00:45] 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] I'm trying to get firewire enabled to capture from my Scientific-Atlanta 8300HDC [00:46] Do I need to have the MySQL setup for the backend inorder to use the frontend viewing capabilities? [00:56] you need mysql setup to use mythtv [00:57] How do I reset the mysql password used by mythtv in mythubuntu? [00:57] I just set it up, and its not connecting becuase i mistyped the pass in setup [00:57] isnt there a file called mysql.txt or something? [00:58] is that for the actual mysql server? or what mythtv uses to connect to it [00:58] in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [00:59] what mythtv uses to connect, afaik [00:59] Xklark_, goto etc/mythtv [00:59] and the pass is there [00:59] k [00:59] ah squish102 [00:59] damn you [00:59] im wide awake today ;) [00:59] yeah ya got me [01:00] oh i found it, thank you squish102 and Shadow__X [01:00] yup [01:01] tvserv@tvserv:/etc/mythtv$ mysql -h localhost -u mythtv -p mythconverg [01:01] Enter password: [01:01] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [01:01] not working :( [01:01] im using the pass in the mysql.txt [01:01] brb a few minutes [01:02] 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] do i add the user? [01:07] If I want something to run at startup, I just have to add it to my /etc/rc.local, right? [01:09] Depends how you want to run it and what you want to run. [01:10] There's several ways. [01:11] 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] Well you may be able to achieve that with cron and nice [01:12] 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] This is what Firefox redirected me to when I typed 'linux nice' into the address bar. [01:13] http://www.computerhope.com/unix/unice.htm [01:14] hads, Never thought to use the address bar for that. Thanks [01:15] so does anyone know how to get a firewire stb sommunicating with mythbuntu again? [01:15] Not I [01:15] stopped working quite a while ago, just never got a chance to troubleshoot. [01:15] Firewire isn't used much outside the US [01:16] i wouldn't use it if my tuner card would work correctly [01:16] You might try your luck in #mythtv-users [01:16] it has this pattern of working for me for a long time. then dying for along time [01:22] chilli cheese fries to the rescue [01:31] 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] i have the same question mryanbrown [01:40] i think im just gonna make the mythtv user [01:40] but the database doesnt exist [01:40] ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'mythconverg' [01:40] can create it [01:42] mryanbrown [01:42] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database [01:42] do that [01:43] ok.... so firewire was working for about 1 second... then it crapped out again [01:44] so its not 5c encryption [01:55] do firewire tester [01:57] doesnt seem to be on in the version i have... .21 [01:57] mythprime is what i was using [02:03] ok so here is my seemingly reproducible sequence [02:03] mythprime does not prime successfully [02:04] so i pull the plug onthe stb [02:04] wait a min [02:04] plug it back in [02:04] when it reboots, i run mythprime... the first p2p prime fails, the subsequent broadcast prime succeeds then all p2p primes are successful [02:05] no matter what channel i'm on [02:05] known working ones [02:05] so i go into front end [02:05] and try to watch live tv [02:05] see about a second clip then the vid freezes, and i hear hard disk activity [02:06] i exit front end and now all priming fails [02:06] rinse and repeat [02:08] hmm [02:50] 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] btw, yes I renewed the membership and it shows active. [02:52] mythfilldatabase --refresh-all [03:08] 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] i started up the backend and the mysql database, but its still not working [03:08] where is the mythtv frontend so I can see if the configurations are correct? [03:11] Xklark_ did u set up the backend to accept external mysql connections? [03:12] in the mychcontrol app, towards the bottom. if i remember correctly [03:15] ill chick [03:15] check* [03:18] whick setup squish102? [03:18] which* [03:19] oh.. um try the [03:20] mythbuntu control center [03:20] under system services [03:20] mysql service, it mentions something there [03:28] couldn't find anything in there [03:35] i'm probably going to end up reinstalling the entire thing following the doc [03:35] i probably messed up somewere within the setup [03:42] Xklark_ im looking at it i think [03:43] in mythbuntu control center -> system services -> enable mysql service [03:44] yea that was enabled [03:44] it says 'If you will be using a remote frontend ot backend, you will need to enable' [03:45] oh ok, what about firewall on backend? [03:46] squish102 its on the same server - the front and back [03:46] im just going to reinstall [03:46] my computer is messed up though, it keeps ejecting the cd drive when i boot [03:46] i have no idea why, but it ejects sometimes - i think it has a mind of its own [03:46] it goes in, out, in, out multiple times <_< [03:48] lol [03:49] oh ok if it is the same machine... btw are u sure the backend is running? [03:56] mikal, ping [03:58] squish102, i gave up on that effort, im just going to reinstall tommorow following the installation manual [03:58] thats how it happens for me - do it once and mess up, then have to do it again with the manul [03:59] been there, done that [04:00] :) [04:00] thanks for all the help squish102, I really appreciate it [04:00] i'm going to head off to bed now [04:00] gl [04:03] tgm4883_laptop: pong [04:03] Sorry I've been real busy recently [04:03] mikal, yea I figured you had. Still going though all your email? [04:04] Yeah, I am three behind at the moment I think [04:04] 3 days? [04:04] I'm trying to nail down the crazy characters in show titles bug at the moment [04:04] Three emails [04:04] ah [04:04] did you get a chance to look at that patch I submitted? [04:05] it was from a week or so ago [04:06] also, I think I figured out why people were getting that error about no video dir [04:08] I think it was people installing mythnettv and trying to use it on systems without a backend [04:08] thats just a guess though [04:08] anyone here have an iphone and use one of those remotes for mythtv? [04:09] i've semi fixed that, as now you can't set the cron job if you don't have a backend installed === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [04:13] take that as a no [04:13] TazgodX, IIRC, superm1 tried it [04:13] it doesn't work so well [04:13] i didn't do anything [04:13] er wait what's this about? [04:14] oh iphone as a remote [04:14] yeah i tried it, but the app is pretty flaky [04:14] anyone know what this is? http://pastebin.com/m5a2d38ea [04:14] ic ant get it to view firewire cablebox [04:17] which one did you tyr? [04:17] try? [04:17] there are 2 [04:18] i was wondering if one was better than the other [04:20] i tried both [04:20] one of them connects more reliably [04:20] they both suck [04:20] but the UI sucks [04:20] ok [04:20] the other one has a slick dynamic UI, but will only connect 1/10 times [04:21] i had high hopes, but guess ill hope for an update [04:21] well there was an update for the one with the slick ui recently [04:21] i havent tried it since then [04:22] so maybe its gotten better [04:22] one of these days i have to finish this project again, i still havn't even connected my cable box to it [04:22] superm1, know which one that was? [04:22] ill give it a try [04:22] mymote [04:22] that's the one with the neat ui [04:22] thanks [04:22] ill give it a try [04:22] let you know what i find [04:26] superm1, you get AT&T? last we talked you were thinking about it [04:35] TazgodX, na i never did [04:37] 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] other than that, i can't get it working [04:38] lol [06:26] how to Boot Mythbuntu off a USB flash drive? [06:31] !google | wheels1 [06:31] 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] should mythtv users be running the ubuntu-server-kernel, since it is a LAMP package? [07:44] Huh? [07:46] mythtv is a server basically no? [07:46] mythtv is a server basically, no? [07:46] mythtv is a server, basically, no? [07:47] if you run a backend only sure [07:47] but if you are running a frontend, you need more priority to user processes [07:47] and pre-emptivitiy === superm1 is now known as superm1|away [07:50] thx [08:42] 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] anyone know how to fix that? [08:58] Bind a video source to your card input. [08:58] how so [08:58] mythtv-setup [08:58] ive been in there 4 times [08:58] specifics would help [09:04] I just looked in the user guide for you, it's covered in section 9.5 [09:07] wheres the one you read at [09:07] the one i have has 7 sections [09:09] and this other ones 9.5 is about icons [09:15] ok i see [09:26] 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] 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? === bronson_ is now known as bronson === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [17:21] dgandhi, does that one box receive 2 dish network signals? [17:58] how do i change the default movie player for mythtv? [17:59] myplayer doesn't play my xvid files properly audio out of sync [18:08] !xine [18:08] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine [18:08] !vlc [18:08] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/VLC [18:08] thanks [18:39] 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] process "mtd" has about 100% load, what does that mean? [21:05] hi, i'm running intrepid and i'm getting these warnings [21:05] http://www.gibbed.org/~ben/myth.txt [21:05] just wondering if this is a known issue? [21:07] thats not acutally the full output, can paste that if needed [21:56] i just freshly installed mythbuntu as a primary backend [21:56] didnt edit anything [21:56] still in config, but when its setting up backend on the database [21:56] its says cannot log into database [21:57] what did i do wrong? [22:25] Xklark: sounds like you fed it the wrong password when it asked what the mysql root password was [23:10] tgm4883_laptop: yes, two different channels on one box with two remotes, any way to control the UHF side? === superm1 is now known as superm1|away
