[01:31] <barsofham> Is sudo aptitude remove mythbuntu-desktop an acceptable way to remove mythbuntu from my computer which is already running ubuntu?
[01:32] <rhpot1991> not to start a political war or anything but some of you may want to download this for your mythbox: http://slackeruprising.com/download/

[01:33] <Zinn> rhpot1991: All talk of politics is now off limits for 24 hours.  If you must talk about it please go to #off-topic or ##politics .  Talking about it further is a bannable offense.  If you need further info, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:33] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: bah
[01:33] <rhpot1991> I was being nice
[01:33] <rhpot1991> I coulda said hey tgm4883_laptop you smell by the way check this out :)
[01:34] <tgm4883_laptop> barsofham, no, unless aptitude removes all the other stuff you won't want too, mythbuntu-desktop is just a metapackage
[01:34] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, and I was being nice.  I could have just
[01:47] <barsofham> so what is the best way of removing mythbuntu and all of it's packages?
[01:48] <superm1> barsofham, apt-get remove mythbuntu-*
[01:48] <superm1> followed by apt-get autoremove
[01:51] <barsofham> hhmm..... it's stating that it cannot find mythbuntu-*
[01:51] <barsofham> I have already tried to remove everything mythbuntu related
[01:52] <barsofham> but a search for mythbuntu still turns up files
[01:53] <superm1> well you can open up synaptic
[01:53] <superm1> and do a search for mythbuntu
[01:53] <superm1> and remove packages that are related
[01:54] <barsofham> and is that pretty much the same thing as apt-get remove mythbuntu-*?
[02:01] <barsofham> thanks for being patient with me, I'm still pretty new to this.
[02:53] <TazgodX> superm1, does mythbuntu work with dual audio mkv files well? and what key would you use to change audio streams and or enable disable subtitle stream?
[03:35] <superm1> TazgodX, i believe myth supports multiple stream files for its recordings, but i dont know about mkv
[03:35] <superm1> experiment
[03:35] <superm1> install mythcontrols to look for keys that would do $stuff
[04:02] <TazgodX> says mythcontrols is already isntalled. guess ill play around with that
[04:04] <TazgodX> now to find out how this works
[04:09] <TazgodX> i think i found something
[04:09] <TazgodX> :)
[04:17] <d1g1ta7> I've gotten MythTV up and running with my DVB card, scanned in all my channels, and it's great.  However, when I actually try to watch a channel, the video only shows a frame every few seconds, and there is no audio.  It does not matter if I am watching a SD channel or a HD one (MPEG-2 or H.264 via CoreAVC).  I am using an ATI x1600 PCI-E graphics card and I have a Core2 Duo Processor, so processing power shouldn't be the bottleneck. I am able to pl
[04:17] <d1g1ta7> ay all these channels perfectly when booted into Windows.
[04:24] <TazgodX> hmmm, well i don't see any buttons for changing audio channel under video, and no way to add a new one that i can find.
[05:00] <pteague> anybody know if mythtv will play .mkv files?
[05:06] <rhpot1991> pteague: I believe yes but it doesn't handle them as well as other formats
[05:06] <hads> Yes
[05:06] <rhpot1991> might want to look into using xine or mplayer if its not working out for you
[05:07] <hads> They play fine generally
[05:07] <hads> Just the fancy stuff that mkv can do that it will have trouble with.
[05:08] <pteague> k, knew i could get them to play under kaffiene, but wasn't sure if mythtv had the codec...  didn't want to have to change interfaces ;)
[05:08] <pteague> ah ok...  i'm needing the english subtitles on it
[05:08] <hads> t
[05:09] <hads> And it's not a codec, it's a container :)
[05:09] <pteague> that's right... i think i remember reading something like that when i was looking it up... the site the person sent me to was all windows junk
[05:11] <pteague> which reminds me... i'm guessing i need to download the mkv package
[08:13] <superm1> kees, just a heads up, i've got one more patch i want to get put into lirc and then a little bit of testing to make sure that i'm not introducing regressions in a few other area, and then I'm hoping to slip in before the beta freeze window.  i'll ping you sometime tomorrow
[08:14] <superm1> I suppose you see this coming though, I always seem to do LIRC in spurts, sorry for the bug mail:)
[09:55] <tearor> is there a way to change the default transcoding profile of a recording made before i changed the default in the configurations?
[09:56] <tearor> i made a mpeg4 profile,but i can't transcode old recordings with it
[09:57] <tearor> in the menu popping up when i chose transcode my mpeg4 profile isn't listed
[09:57] <tearor> it just works for my new recordings where i can chose default
[09:58] <tearor> also, autodetect always fails with error 255 or something like that
[10:25] <zabbadapp> superm1: when I partition a usb-stick into two, and have the live-cd-iso-files on the first, the second is not mounted in /media when I boot into the live env ... Shouldn't it? I could mount it from the CLI. It would be awesome if it could and store theme cache and such there. Also if the mythbuntu-autostarter could check for a script called "autostart.sh" (or user selectable to make it obvious it's possible) and
[10:25] <zabbadapp> run it on boot as well, that would make it easy to add own tweaks to the live environment.
[15:03] <zabbadapp> best way from a frontend to "ping" and see if myth-backend is running? (not the server, but the actual myth-backend)
[15:18] <superm1> zabbadapp, can you adapt the python files to do that?  i'll be glad to sponsor a patch, but don't have a lot of time to write it myself
[15:19] <superm1> zabbadapp, if you can't, at least file a bug so that this doesnt get forgotten over time
[15:22] <zabbadapp> superm1: i'm a ruby guy, never done any python ... I may atleast write a bug report anyway
[15:22] <superm1> zabbadapp, alrighty :)
[15:23] <superm1> python reads over pretty easily, you might consider at least looking over the code, it might just make sense
[15:25] <zabbadapp> yes, I know .. I would probably manage to do it with some time at hand.
[16:46] <kees> superm1|away: heh, no problemo
[18:03] <superm1> kees, okay if you want to sponsor revno 36.  the branch is at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/lirc/ubuntu/ as it was before
[18:09] <ThatOtherGuy> Has anyone here gotten a serial IR Blaster working? Specifically, one from irblaster.info
[18:09] <superm1> it's been a while, but i had one working a long time ago
[18:09] <superm1> since then my serial port got fried
[18:10] <ThatOtherGuy> I've tried just about everything that pops up on google and the mythbuntu manual
[18:10] <ThatOtherGuy> and I can't get crap out of it
[18:10] <ThatOtherGuy> I don't have a digital camera to verify that the LED is blasting =/
[18:11] <superm1> well that's a very important piece to diagnosing this..
[18:12] <superm1> i'd say borrow one from a friend
[18:13] <ThatOtherGuy> Are there any blasters that are really, stupidly, simple to set up?
[18:13] <ThatOtherGuy> I'm going to have to go halfway across the state for the nearest friend with a camera that has a live to to lcd capable camera =/ effing digital slrs don't have it
[18:16] <ThatOtherGuy> Don't really care if I have to buy something else if there is something that is really easy to get working with mythbuntu
[18:17] <ThatOtherGuy> superm1 - what do you use now?
[18:35] <superm1> ThatOtherGuy, my mceusb2 does blasting
[18:35] <superm1> and my commandir
[18:35] <superm1> the commandir is more reliable for it
[20:15] <bah1976> mikal, hi
[22:16] <superm1> kees, er well i'm gonna have to get going in a little bit probably.  hopefully you dont see anything standing out about lirc, but ideally would like to get this upload done before we jump into beta freeze and have to file paperwork and get more people involved
[22:18] <kees> superm1: ah! right, sorry, let me get that shoved, one sec
[22:25] <kees> superm1: uploaded, thanks!
[22:26] <superm1> kees, okay thanks
[23:59] <MythbuntuGuest17> Does the 8.10 alpha build include an upgrade to 2.6.26 kernel?  I have a Hauppauge 1600HVR card and cannot get Mythbuntu to recognize it.  Everything I've read points to the new kernel to help with the fix...
