[00:45] mythtv, "password", mythconverg, localhost [00:46] ok [00:46] lets check the password first [00:46] the password is kept at ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt [00:46] DBPassword=HMfrsQ0m [00:46] copy the password from that file and try again [00:46] its from there [00:47] did you copy that password into the password box in MCC?

(it shows the buttons pressed) [01:10] frank23, irw [01:11] tgm4883_laptop: thanks [02:18] ive got a problem with mythtv. all my icons on the menu have disappeared [02:20] have you tried picking another theme.. [02:20] happened to me [02:21] picked another , then back to the original , it rebuilt the theme it seems, [02:21] I dont understand the particulars, yet, but it worked for me [02:22] i can't get to the menu to change themes [02:23] wolv: is there a command line way to change themes? [02:24] sorry , I have just recently gotten into the programming of myth , I dont understand much of it yet [02:24] I have had it running for some time, but just recently had the time to learn whats making it tick [02:26] its hard to change the theme without seeing whats going on [02:27] i even tried uninstalling that theme and rebooting to see if it would pick a different theme [02:29] hmm [02:48] could be a permissions problem ? [02:48] but guessing your looked into that [02:50] not really sure i didn't mess with any permissions [02:51] well, [02:52] I am sure there are a LOT of others here with a ton more knowledge [02:52] mythfrontend -O Theme=themename if you ever want to start up myth with a different theme [02:53] maybe something like imagmagic, or something that resizes pics that it uses to scale the themes? [02:53] might be messed up ? [02:54] I am completely taking a guess that it uses something liek that [02:59] i have a few ideas let me confirm something [03:01] i switched from the nvidia driver to the nv driver and that is why the opengl painter isn't working [03:01] ahh [03:01] thats what happened i'm sure of it [03:01] Well yeah [03:01] can tell myth to not render using the opengl [03:02] yeah i'd rather get xorg.conf fixed [03:23] whats the command to get dpkg to configure a package again [03:31] dpkg-reconfigure ? [03:31] dpkg-reconfigure [03:52] superm1|away: heya, let me know when you're back [03:52] hello can anybody help me a quicky [03:53] YukiNewbie, quicky eh? just my type... what is your question? [03:54] Cannot connect to master backend server -- is it running? Is the IP address for it in the setup program correct? [03:54] smallville is almost starting oh no hehehe [03:54] YukiNewbie, you just finished the install? [03:54] yah [03:55] tgm4883 was helping me :) [03:55] did you run through the backend setup? [03:55] i dont know [03:55] :( [03:56] you need to setup the backend kfor anything to work [03:56] YukiNewbie, foxbuntu is the best. He helped me with my initial setup. Had me up in no time [03:56] no no [03:56] Im just a newb [03:56] He's very good at giving precise instructions to noobs like me [03:56] cool [03:56] foxbuntu, you are just being modest. [03:56] !stab tgm4883_laptop [03:56] * Zinn stabs tgm4883_laptop with a rusty spork. [03:56] YukiNewbie, foxbuntu is one of the elite Mythbuntu Developers [03:56] as is tgm4883_laptop [03:56] awesome [03:56] :) [03:57] no, i'm just a noob myself [03:57] I run windows most of the time [03:57] lol [03:57] haha [03:57] hehe, umm so I guess i have install backend then hehehe [03:57] YukiNewbie, no its already installed [03:57] you just need to set it up [03:58] so what do I do to watch tv thats all i need [03:58] i have tv tuner that worked with my vista ultimate [03:59] YukiNewbie, you need to setup the Network Config, Tuner, Data Sources, and Storage [03:59] then you can watch tv [03:59] yah but it says thing when I click watch tv thingy "Cannot connect to master backend server -- is it running? Is the IP address for it in the setup program correct?" [04:00] YukiNewbie, exactly [04:00] thats the frontend trying to contact the backend [04:01] sorry I dunno its like rocket science my bad [04:03] YukiNewbie, nope, if tgm4883_laptop can do it, anyone can [04:03] :) [04:04] he/she was like an expert when I talked to him/her [04:06] He [04:06] though some would consider him a her [04:06] ;) [04:06] bah [04:06] her that mofo [04:07] YukiNewbie, this is what you need to do [04:07] follow the installation manual, if you have questions then, ask them here [04:07] !manual | YukiNewbie [04:07] YukiNewbie: http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual [04:08] ty [04:46] Hi all, I just installed mythbuntu on a machine I had lying around and for some reason the network card is not reconized anybody care to help me through this? (i am not extremely knowledgeable in linux) [04:58] whats the brand of nic [05:00] I am not exactly sure, but i just found a nother nic in my stash, so i am gong to try and switch it out and see if that solves this [05:00] do intel pro 100 normaly work? [05:03] switched to the intel and it works like a charm === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [06:48] doje, yea i'm here now [07:07] morning [07:09] so i never got the nova-s+ to work so i bought a sky star 2 (rev 2.6d) instead. but i dont get that to work either, it simply wont tune using scan , kaffeine or mythtv. anyone know if there is any patch or something out there ? running 2.6.24-19 latest v4l [07:10] i can scan channels if i use a a "normal" decoder box like dreambox or whatever [12:05] are any statistics produced estimating the number of people who use the mythbuntu weekly repos? [12:15] directhex: i could run through the logs, maybe awstats etc to generate some if you really want them [12:16] Daviey, i'm mainly curious [12:16] Daviey, i want to know how many hits a "major" third party repo gets [12:16] i'm tracking unique IPs pulling Packages.gz, per-arch [12:18] directhex: I'll do that when i find 5 mins! :) [12:18] Daviey, neato! [12:18] Daviey, i'd ask the medibuntu people, but i suspect the number would be "one hundred beeeelion" [12:20] Daviey, some numbers for my repo at the foot of http://directhex.mfgames.com/hardy.html [12:21] directhex: neat [14:39] well i'm not sure we have that kind of power on the US repo [14:39] i dont think i have acces to the logs [14:40] really? none at all? shame :/ [14:40] also, AFTERNOON MARIO! 8D [14:54] superm1: you can't see the apache logs?! [14:55] Daviey, k well lets see, ill try to look again - but i thought he had a mirroring system [14:55] Daviey, and the machine i connect to isn't the machine that actually runs apache [14:55] oh' [14:55] what was the hostname again for the us site?..... [14:55] hum [14:56] (lazy web) [14:56] superm1: weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org [14:57] yeah that's the host people see, not the one that i ssh into.. [15:00] oh yeah [15:00] it's the ol' mythbuntu.org server, isn't it? [15:00] no it's not [15:01] is this one of jumpkicks? [15:01] no, axel thimm's [15:01] okay i found my way in, and the logs are mirrored to this box too [15:02] but unfortunately [15:02] cd httpd/ [15:02] -bash: cd: httpd/: Permission denied [15:02] fedora? [15:02] i think probably RHEL [15:03] Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga) [15:04] hah @ logs without permissions :/ [15:05] sounds like the only option is a php page to process logs O_o [15:05] logs directory is owned by root [15:05] so thinking still that wouldnt work [15:07] feh :| [15:09] those crazy RHEL'ers [15:11] they probably think we do some weird/crazy stuff === superm1 is now known as superm1|away === superm1|away is now known as superm1 [22:04] hi...I have a mythbuntu-installation, where I have installed a new nvidia-graphics card, but I have problems getting the res right. TV is panasonic TH-42PV80P, documentation says native res is 1024 x 768 (which is strange since it is a wide screen TV) - nvidia vard reads EDID and tries with 1240x1024 res, but it shows only part of the desktop - anypne can help configure this card correctly? [22:10] Daviey, did you extract any stats? [22:42] I´m looking to upgrading my mythbox so it´s HD compatible. I´ve got a PVR-150 card right now... I´m assuming I´m going to have to upgrade. How about my graphics card? Just wondering what other people have as far as a HD setup for myth? [22:47] graphics card sadly makes no odds in linux right now for hd [22:47] you're US based? [23:03] directhex, yup [23:04] should get away with it CPUwise then [23:04] planning on receiving your broadcasts how? [23:07] cable [23:07] so my pvr 150 will receive HD signals? [23:08] no. [23:08] analog or digital cable? [23:08] analog [23:08] I don´t have a cable box on my tv if that´s what you mean. [23:09] no idea then. yank tech is out of my comfort zome. ask #mythtv-users [23:09] heh [23:09] * hads also [23:10] I´ve seen some hauppauge units like hvr-1250 just wondering if that´s the sort of tuner that I´ll have to upgrade my pvr-150 to? [23:13] ubun2Junky, something like the HVR-1600 would do you well [23:13] it's supported in 8.10 [23:14] is that all I need to upgrade? [23:15] well being that all I know that you have is a PVR-150, I don't know [23:15] geforce 5600 video card for the output [23:15] running on a amd 2.5mhz with 500mb [23:16] I read that HD is processor intensive... so I´m also assuming that PC will need to get upgraded... [23:17] well the video card might do, the processor might do also. Upgrade both of those would help [23:17] "HD" just means "video which is at least 720 pixels tall" [23:17] anything else is a per-case question [23:17] yes, that is very true [23:18] low bitrate 1280x720 mpeg2 will play on any old thing. high bitrate unsliced paff-encoded h264..... [23:18] at 1920x1080..... [23:19] if you wanted the higher resolution then you need better tuner, video and processor? [23:19] honestly i have no idea about analog hd cable. i simply can't help you on that topic [23:20] i don't know anythikng to receive that direct, off the top of my head, but frankly i don't give a toss about products which only help americans [23:20] directhex, you using cable then? [23:20] dvb-t [23:20] satellite... gotcha. [23:20] which is what everyone in the world who isn't america uses instead of atsc, for digital over-the-air broadcast [23:20] satellite is dvb-s [23:21] woops... [23:21] where are you at? [23:21] check the hostmask. [23:21] nice... common wealth nation! [23:26] Haha h264 1080i is annoying yes. [23:28] has anyone tried this HDHomeRun? [23:30] yeah a bunch of us have one [23:30] quite nice toys [23:31] sounds pretty cool... will it stream to vnc player? [23:32] vnc? [23:32] vnc doesn't support Xv, so usually video doesnt make sense to watch [23:32] but if you are meaning VLC, yeah you can stream to VLC [23:32] superm1, woops... yeah that´s what I meant [23:34] so if you´re getting regular tv cable without the need for a cable box is that what they refer to as QAM? [23:35] vs ATSC which is what you get with the rabbit ears? [23:35] QAM means digital unencrypted cable [23:35] you can get it without a cable box yes [23:35] if your HDTV supports QAM, you can go do a scan and see what you would get with it [23:35] ATSC is the OTA variant of digital TV [23:35] what I get with comcast for $12 a month! [23:36] well it's only the unencrypted stations [23:36] so you'll have to see how many are actually unencrypted [23:37] so currently I´m also viewing encrypted channels? But with the HD switch they´ll be encrypted? [23:39] homerun sites says at my location I can get 23 programs with digital antenna and 88 programs with digital cable. [23:39] digital switch [23:39] not HD switch [23:39] there is a difference [23:40] so this says that without the cable box! I will get 23 programs... if I purchase digital cable from comcast I will get 88 programs? Sry really newbie here on this subject! [23:41] ubun2Junky, well do you have a high def TV right now? or at least a TV that supports digital TV? [23:41] you can do an experiment and see what you'll get [23:41] I have HD tv, but nothing that will push a HD signal to it. [23:42] tv model number? [23:42] I'm guessing he is refering to a digital tuner. [23:43] samsung 32"series 5 lcd [23:44] instructions say that I have ntsc, atsc, qam tuner [23:44] theres the info we're looking for [23:45] so you can use your TV to see what channels the HDHomerun would get [23:45] I´m just trying to make sense of what those abbreviations mean... [23:45] well superm1 did tell you earlier [23:45] approx 10 minutes ago [23:45] yes he did... it really helped... [23:46] so then hook your cable up to your TV and scan for channels [23:46] so ntsc is what is eventually going away? [23:48] cool... thx for you´re help guys... I think I can better understand what I´m reading now! I´ll give this another try. [23:55] hello, when i enter http://192.168.100.104/mythweb/tv to upload files via mythweb i got this: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d963115a [23:55] whats the matter for that? [23:55] is your backend configured properly? do you have any channels set up? [23:56] ahh no i didnt set up channels, i dont have a tuner/tv card [23:56] backend is configeres [23:56] d [23:56] then why are you trying to go to the /tv address? [23:57] /tv shows you your listing data [23:57] oh, i thought... [23:57] where can i upload video files? [23:57] Huh, what do you upload files for? [23:57] Oh video files, you wouldn't upload those. [23:58] what should i do? [23:58] what exactly are you trying to do? [23:58] or should I guess? [23:58] :) [23:59] i want to get a video file on my frontend/backend [23:59] Put it on the disk. [23:59] Like a movie? [23:59] yes [23:59] well stick the movie in your mythvideo directory [23:59] via smb?
