jsringstHelpl :)   Somehow my disk ran out of space... didn't realize it, shutddown system. Then today I boot it up and can't connect to frontend... try mythfilldatabase and says no database link defined.   How do I repair my broken database/link and get the frontend up and running again?00:08
hadsYour database is probably broken. You may be able to repair it.00:09
hadsYou will need the username and password from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt00:10
jsringstyeah checked that and all the fields were empty00:10
hadsYou checked "that" and "all the fields" were empty?00:11
jsringstDBUserName, DBPassword, DBName, DBType00:11

tritiumHello.  Due to adding and later deleting some capture cards, mythtv-status and mythweb report that I have tuners 1, 2, and 6.  Is there a way to renumber tuner 6 to 3?  Perhaps by editing the card id in a mysql database?04:23
hadstritium: Don't worry about it it's just a unique id.04:24
tritiumhads: it is exceedingly annoying04:24
hadsheh04:24
rhpot1991tritium: I think you can edit the ID in the db, don't quote me on it though04:24
rhpot1991just double check that other tables aren't referencing it04:24
tritiumhads: I know, I'm anal about that kind of thing...04:24
hadsYou could update it but since mysql doens't support foriegn keys you'll need to do it in each table that references it.04:24
tritiumThat sounds non-trivial.04:24
hadsThere's probably not that many tables but you'll need to figure it out by yourself.04:25
tritiumOK, thank you.04:25
hadsIf you can delete all the cards and start again then you could do it too.04:25
hadsA TRUNCATE in mysql will reset the auto increment.04:26
tritiumThat wouldn't be too bad...04:26
hads(from memory)04:26
hadsNot somethin that I've tried but the process should be, delete cards through mythtc-setup, go into mysql issue a TRUNCATE and then re-add cards in mythtv-setup.04:26
tritiumHmm, I'm a mysql novice, though.04:27
hadsNot difficult, just a `TRUNCATE TABLE foo` from the mysql prompt.04:27
tritiumhmm, ok, I'll look into it.  Thank you so much!04:28
hadsBeware that doing things in the database may snap your setup in halk though.04:28
hadss/halk/half/04:28
tritiumYeah, perhaps I'll use the intrepid release as an excuse to reinstall.04:28
tritium(and not touch the db)04:28

MythbuntuGuest83Can anyone help me out with cx18 and HVR-1600?05:53
rgvguplbhi... how does one watch live tv using mythbuntu? i see only snow...using mythbuntu with a pvr-350 card06:16
rgvguplbhow do i change the channel?06:17
rhpot1991rgvguplb: sounds like maybe you didn't setup the correct input or something06:22
rhpot1991that or your cable connection isn't working06:22
rgvguplbwell, i don't know anything about mythtv... this is the first time i've tried it...06:23
rgvguplbi just attached the cable into a three way splitter... one now goes to my regular tv, one to my cable modem, and the other to my computer... is that how it's supposed to be wired?06:24
rgvguplbthe remote seems to be working, but slowly... i have the tv guide displayed now and i don't know how to get out of it...06:25
rgvguplbi hit the back/exit button on the remote but it's not doing anything...06:25
rgvguplbi also have a dvd in the computer's drive, but don't know how to watch it...06:27
rhpot1991rgvguplb: try the stop button06:27
rgvguplbi'll try that as soon as i reboot the pc... it's starting up now...06:28
rhpot1991as far as dvd's I believe you need mythvideo installed to handle that06:29
rgvguplbokay, it's rebooted... and the menu is displayed... i choose 'watch tv' and....06:29
rgvguplbnow i see snow...06:29
rgvguplbi hit the "guide" button andnow i see the tv guide...06:30
rgvguplblittle screen on top right still shows snow though...06:30
rgvguplbi hit stop on the remote... and now the schedule is gone... and i see lots of snow...06:31
rgvguplbi actually was able to see a advertisement for a minute, and another time i could see the tv schedule channel from the cable company... that's all i've seen other than snow...06:32
rhpot1991try changing the channel?06:32
rgvguplbhow does one change a channel?06:32
rhpot1991hit some numbers then enter, or up and down or channel up and channel down06:33
rhpot1991do you happen to have a cable box for your cable?06:33
rgvguplbno cable box06:33
rgvguplbi hit the arrow (down) and some stuff came up on the bottom part of the screen...06:33
rgvguplbit shows a channel number, and "seinfeld", as well as some info on the episode...06:34
rgvguplbthen it disappears, and show me a screen full of snow...06:34
rgvguplbi hit the "ok" button and it says "position saved"...06:35
rgvguplbi hit it again and then it says "position cleared"06:35
rgvguplbwhat is it talking about?06:35
rgvguplbnow i see something...06:37
rgvguplbit's channel 2.. which is normally the channel guide from the cable company....06:37
rgvguplbwhat the heck did i press to do that????06:37
rgvguplbdo i need to press "ok" to change the channel?06:40
rgvguplbit appears that when i hit the up/down buttons on the remote, and it displays channel 12 at the bottom, and i hit "ok", it shows channel 2 on the screen...06:43
rhpot1991hit 2 then ok06:43
rhpot1991it lets you flip around but not change to that channel unless you tell it so06:43
rgvguplbokay, i tried hitting '2', then ok.... it showed me snow....06:44
rgvguplbi hit '12' and then hit 'ok', it shows me channel 2....06:44
rhpot1991unplug that cable and plug it into your tv06:44
rhpot1991make sure you are getting something on it06:44
rhpot1991verify you are plugged into the right spot on the card as well06:44
rgvguplbwell, it's coming out of a splitter already, and my daughter is watching tv.... not to mention the other cable is going to my cable modem, and i'm using that too....06:45
rgvguplbit seems the only channel i can get is channel 2, and the only way i get it is by selecting channel 12....06:45
rhpot1991double check your settings in mythtv-setup as well06:46
rhpot1991make sure you have the right input, channels are associated, etc06:46
rgvguplbi'm getting a good picture on channel 18, but am not sure what channel it really is that's showing....06:47
rgvguplbokay... i can see what channel it is...06:48
rgvguplbit's channel 3 showing on channel 18....06:48
rhpot1991there is an option at a point to specify if you are using broadcast or cable signal06:48
rhpot1991sounds like that is mixed up06:48
rgvguplbi guess you must be right....06:49
rgvguplbi will try to fiddle around with it some more...06:49
rgvguplbat least, i got something more than snow...06:49
rgvguplbthanks a lot for the assistance....06:49
rgvguplbi was really uncertain how to use the remote....06:49
rgvguplbbye!06:49
rhpot1991good luck06:51

squish102how do i get the latest ati catalyst drivers?16:01
squish102or how do i know what version of driver i have now?16:03
directhexdpkg -l xorg-driver-fglrx16:06
squish102thanks16:08
superm1the latest can be gotten from AMD's website squish10216:31
squish102superm1 so i should not select 'restricted drivers' to uninstall current drivers, then download and install them direct, no apt-getting anything?16:36
superm1squish102, well if you want the latest get them from AMD's site16:37
superm1if you want the ones that shipped with the distro, get them from restricted manager16:37

bronsonOh holy cow.16:47
bronsonMythbuntu won't allow me to install a front-end unless I can connect to the database AT INSTALLATION TIME?16:47
bronsonYou've got to be kidding.16:47
bronsonThis hoses anyone who needs ndsiwrapper or other obscure drivers.16:49
rhpot1991bronson: I was under the impression that you can continue even if it fails and clean up later.  Why not just hard wire it till the install is done then modify it later?18:16
superm1rhpot1991, that functionality was torn since people were breaking things18:26
superm1the only other option is to put up some kind of warning that it couldnt connect to your backend to set a few things up, but that's less than ideal18:26
rhpot1991hardwiring seems like the best option then18:34
|dthacker|I'm trying to log in to schedulesdirect.org.  I'm getting "Error establishing an encrypted connection to schedulesdirect.org. Error code 8048.  Any ideas"18:46

ajhtiredwolfHey is anyone here good with lirc? Im having some weird problems20:31
destructarhi all... i'm setting up a front end right now using mythbuntu 8.04. any guides you could direct me to for getting an apple bluetooth keyboard paired with this thing?20:35
destructari'm using the first generation bluetooth keyboard and a Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth dongle20:36
destructar(first gen apple bluetooth keyboard that is)20:36
bronsonsorry, was afk21:04
bronsonrhpot1991, because the Next button is grayed out until it succeeds at connecting to the backend.21:04
ajhtiredwolfim trying to get lirc to work with mythbuntu, im having a few issues, for some reason there is a big delay before it executes the button i push, and it will freeze for a split second when a button is pushed. Also, totem out of no where stopped working with lirc21:04
bronsonafaict, it's impossible to install a frontend unless you can connect to the backend during the install process.21:05
bronsonWhich I think is a bad assumption.21:05
bronsonajhtiredwolf, do you see the delay in irw?21:06
ajhtiredwolfbronson, no it doesnt happen with other programs21:06
bronsonwell, I get that delay too in Myth.  It's weird.  Sometimes it locks everything up for a few seconds, sometimes it works fine.21:06
ajhtiredwolfbronson, delay is set to 0 in the in the mythbuntu lirc config file21:06
ajhtiredwolfbronson, huh, so just a common bug?21:07
bronsonDunno.  All I can say is that it hasn't bothered me enough for me to spend much time on it.21:07
bronsonBigger fish to fry right now...21:07
ajhtiredwolfbronson, its pretty bad on my end, just turning the volume up or down can make it lock up while doing so, so if im turning up the volume say 50 percent, that is about 6 second where it locks up and no video or sound stream21:08
bronsonOuch.  Well...  if you figure out what it is, I hope you'll report back here.  :)21:10
bronsonMaybe ask on mythtv-users?21:10
ajhtiredwolfwill do, and nooo way hah, i went in there one time and they hate ubuntu users21:10
bronsonSo tell them you're using mythdora.  :)21:11
ajhtiredwolfi got called stupid noob, and useless ubuntu user a little too much21:11
ajhtiredwolfalright well besides that do you know how to tell mythbunu where to find the music and video files? I have the video and music plugin, but i dont see an option to set directory21:13
bronsonI forget.21:13
bronsonIt's some config option somewhere.21:14
bronsonI don't have Myth running right now or I'd look.21:14
ajhtiredwolfhmm i cant figure totem out, for whatever reason, some times after resetting lirc it works21:15
ajhtiredwolfsome times it stops working21:15
ajhtiredwolfits bipolar21:15
Redhammer_the_Olhello I have question about mythrename -- how do I use it in ubuntu ?21:58
Redhammer_the_OlI cannot seem to get it to run21:58
zabbadappRedhammer_the_Ol: example: mythrename.pl --link /var/lib/mythtv/tv/by_name/ --format "%T/%y%m%d  %- "22:02
Redhammer_the_Oloh let me try that22:02
zabbadappRedhammer_the_Ol: will in the directory "by_name" (must exist i think) create folders for each kind of show ... i.e. Simpsons, The Aprentice, and so on ... (thats the %T/ in the string) ... and in each such folder you have your simpsons episodes like this:080925 Del 418 säsong 19 - Lisa gör en dokumentär...mpg  ...22:04
rhpot1991Redhammer_the_Ol: you might need to chmod +x the script22:04
rhpot1991it lives in /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/22:05
Redhammer_the_OlI presume that /var/lib/mythtv/ should be replaced with where my recordigns are22:05
zabbadappRedhammer_the_Ol: Yes!  ... I also have another mythrename with a different format that creates content for a directory I call "by_date" ..22:05
zabbadappRedhammer_the_Ol: or no, where you want the generated soft links to be created ... it gets the data from the database .. no need to point out the actual recordings22:06
zabbadappRedhammer_the_Ol: (I use the softlink aproach ... --link ... I have never tried any other way)22:06
Redhammer_the_Olhmm I am confused22:06
Redhammer_the_Olwhen I run the script22:07
Redhammer_the_Olall I get is > symbol22:07
Redhammer_the_Olthis is what I entered:22:08
Redhammer_the_Olmythrename.pl --link /media/data/by-date/ --format "%T/%y%m%d %-22:08
Redhammer_the_OlI am missing a "22:09
zabbadapphmm, something is missing in the end: should be  --format "%T/%y%m%d  %- "22:09
zabbadapphehe, my irc-client transforms some of the % things into nothing :-)22:09
zabbadapptry this instead: --format "%Y-%m/%d %T %- "22:09
zabbadappgahh!! again22:10
frank23do I need to download a firmware to use the pvr-150 IR blaster in gutsy?22:10
Redhammer_the_Olwhat is the odd symbol mean22:10
zabbadappbut yes, the string should be ended with a " .. and you can read the help in mythrename about what each %<letter> does .. so you can make your own naming standard22:11
Redhammer_the_Olmythrename.pl --help22:11
Redhammer_the_Olbash: mythrename.pl: command not found22:11
Redhammer_the_Olodly enough that returns an erro22:11
zabbadappis it chmod ugo+x  ?  (executable)22:13
Redhammer_the_Olmythrename.pl --verbose --format "%c_%Y%m%d%H%i%s"22:13
Redhammer_the_Olis similar to what it should look like22:13
zabbadappand if you are in the same directory as the script, are you writing "./mythrename.pl"  ?? as executables in the current directory isnt run by default .. you have to specify the file by path (which ./ is the same as current directory)22:14
zabbadappyep, that string should do it ... there are many interesting options once you get --help to display22:15
frank23anybody here uses the ir blaster on pvr-150 in gutsy?22:16
tgm4883_laptopmikal, ping22:18
Redhammer_the_Oloh something is happening this time22:18
Redhammer_the_Olthank you now got it to work22:19
weiserHey I have an installation on the newest version, it is running on some old hardware but, normaly it is running fine, but every 10 min. it make 5-6 "prebuffering pause". because the mythfrontend goes up in cpu load, have anybody some ideas what it is, and if I can turn it off?22:33
BlaiddI have a question about recording digital cable without using a set to box.23:09
tritiumBlaidd: is it _unencrypted_ QAM-256?23:10
Blaiddno, that's the problem, unfortunately.  I know that I can record QAM from my provider for the channels that they don't encrypt, but that's not all of the channels that I get.23:11
BlaiddIs there anyway to digitally record the "premium" channels that they send?23:11
tritiumYes, that is a problem.23:11
Blaidd(that are encrypted of course)23:11
BlaiddOr am I just wanting too much for this stage of the game :)23:12
tritiumWithout an STB?  Not that I'm aware of.  And if there were, I would imagine it would be legally questionable.23:12
BlaiddAnd most set top boxes only send out a digital signal through things like firewire right?23:13
tritiumYes.23:13
BlaiddI don't mind using the set top boxes, so long as I can get a digital signal, but that doesn't seem to be be possible with the cards I've been looking at..23:13
Blaidd(get a digital signal to my mtyhbox I mean)23:14
BlaiddMaybe I can ask a quesiton then tritium?23:16
tgm4883_laptopyou just did23:16
tgm4883_laptopdidn't really give him a choice there did you23:16
BlaiddWell seeing as how we did answer it would appear that there's always a choice :)23:17
Blaiddhe*23:17
Blaiddand didn't*23:17
BlaiddI suffer from a case of difficulty typing23:17
tgm4883_laptopwell you would gather more answers if you did ask your question ;)23:18
tritiumBlaidd: sorry, I had stepped away.23:19
Blaidd:)  Since I can't get a digital signal to my mythbox, I'm using the Hauppage 500 cards, but I'm getting diagonal lines that are showing up and dark scenes are grainy..23:20
BlaiddIs that just a function of the analouge input, or is there something else I can do to try and change some settings23:20
Blaiddno worries tritium..23:21
tritiumSounds like an analog issue.23:21
Blaidddamn23:21
Blaiddoh well.. I guess I"ll have to find some way to cope23:22
BlaiddThanks23:22
tritiumI would like to see mythtv implement a liveTV commercial volume adjustment or mute.  I hate how commercials are *so* loud compared to actual programming.23:40
