[00:39] <frozenskunk1> hello? 3 hours, and not a single response!?!?!
[00:40] <tgm4883_laptop> !weekend | frozenskunk
[00:40] <Zinn> frozenskunk: It's a weekend.  Often on weekends a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question.  Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the week.
[00:40] <frozenskunk1> makes sense, in the past weekends have been when I got the best response, just glad to see there are people here, not just bots... Thanks!
[00:42] <squish102> frozenskunk1 not that i can help you, but i did the same thing, 7.10 worked fine, 8.04 screwed it up so bad, that i eventually bought a new remote
[00:43] <frozenskunk1> yeah, ready to pull my hair out, I had a box up and running for 2-3 years, and since 8.04 was released it has just gathered dust, I have even tried going back to knoppmyth, but it is sucha horrrible platform to try and work on when you used to ubuntu I gave up.
[00:44] <frozenskunk1> what remote did you go to? Buying a remote seems much cheaper than the professional help I will require from a mental health specialist... ;-)
[00:46] <frozenskunk1> I'm using a commanIR mini with Dish Network boxes, did that work for your setup?
[00:48] <squish102> i am using a microsoft mce remote ir receiver
[00:48] <squish102> worked out the box
[00:48] <frozenskunk1> Is that a card, usb-device?
[00:49] <squish102> usb device
[00:49] <frozenskunk1> I have a PVR-350, PVR-500, with the Hauppauge A415-HPG remote through a commandIR mini, with 3 dish network boxes...
[00:50] <squish102> well i have a pvr-150, and a ati HD tuner, and i dont controll anything else
[00:51] <squish102> although the mce remote has 2 ir transmitters
[00:51] <frozenskunk1> hmm... I need at least 3, since I have 3 dish network boxes. CommandIR gives 4.
[00:53] <squish102> im lucky, i dont need to control any boxes, and just tuner the tuners
[00:53] <frozenskunk1> I can get the commandIR to see signals, and even give the right output through irw sometimes, just not all the time, and I can't get irsend to work at all with it anymore. frustrating as hell since both commandIR and mythbuntu docs claims that it 'justworks'
[00:53] <squish102> eexactly my experience
[00:54] <squish102> it was just ment to work, which is how my previous ir receiver worked when on 7.10
[00:54] <squish102> went to 8.04 and spent weeks trying to figure out how to get it working again
[00:54] <squish102> installed old 7.10 on another machine, ir worked fine again
[00:55] <frozenskunk1> yeah, seems like I have to fiddle with the lircd.conf file a little with 7.10, but had it working with a small enough amount of work that I didn't bother to write it down, have spent almost 6 months now trying to get it to work under 8.04. I may just try to go back with 7.10 again since you say that
[00:56] <frozenskunk1> I am beating my head against a wall now, I thought that I had a grasp on myth/linux, but this is just silly!
[01:45] <bronson> mythcommflag[26498]: segfault at b1c9e620 ip b7236c67 sp bfe766e4 error 6 in libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0.21.0[b6fa4000+39c000]
[02:11] <CRXLPY> I just got done searching the forums, I could not find my issue but I know it has to be something silly. I can watch recordings and they skip commercials flawlessly, but if I burn a dvd all the commercials are part of the dvd.... not what I want of course. I have tried transcoding then making an iso, I have tried saving a cutlist then making iso. but I cant get rid of the commercials. what am I missing? I want to make an iso w/o co
[02:30] <frozenskunk1> anyone here that can help with ComandIR and a Haupaugge remote?

[02:55] <MythbuntuGuest71> Got a quick Q, has anyone had any success using a philips 7130 based tuner working with mythbuntu?
[02:57]  * MythbuntuGuest71 twiddles his thumbs
[02:58] <MythbuntuGuest71> is anyone available in here?
[03:06] <darthanubis> this is a slow channel
[03:06] <darthanubis> you generally have to ask, and just chillax
[03:13] <squish102> for like a day or 2
[03:14] <tgm4883_laptop> especially when you ask a question like that
[03:14] <tgm4883_laptop> cause now you have to find someone else with that piece of hardware
[03:25] <squish102> google may know who has one
[03:39] <MythbuntuGuest71> yah google knows to much...
[03:40] <MythbuntuGuest71> scares me
[03:46] <sentinel23> hey, anyone ever encountered GRUB "Error 2: Bad file or directory type"?    I ran updates on my Mythbuntu box and now it won't boot...
[09:06] <MythbuntuGuest14> hey all, quick question... what is the default video storage location for mythbuntu?
[09:31] <MythbuntuGuest14> nevermind... found it.  var/lib/mythtv/videos
[09:37] <pretender> Can anyone help me to get mytharchive working it just sits there and does  nothing when i run it.  my myth archive temp directory is var/lib/mythtv/mytharchive/temp/ running Gutsy
[13:23] <feltis> if I want to move to 8.10 from 8.04.1 what is the best way to do this? I downloaded the latest ISO but it does not seem to want to install, is there an alternate method that I'm missing?
[13:51] <directhex> sudo update-manager -c -d
[14:12] <jphillip> feltis you mean 7.10, or are you really talking about going backwareds?
[14:16] <directhex> he said to intrepid from hardy
[14:17] <directhex> i know usually people say them the other way round, but the "to" & "from" were valid
[14:22] <jphillip> directhex ya just wanted to check
[18:08] <v0lksman> hey all...I was able to use nuvexport to transcode a video yesterday.  but when I went to transcode the next one (the same way) it craps out without any error.  Running in debug it doesn't provide any help...just goes through all the steps in less than a second and says complete.  how can I troubleshoot this?  can dpaste the output if someone wants to check it
[18:16] <v0lksman> hrm...thought I had tried a different file but I just did again and it's working on the newer recording.  Weird...
[19:09] <weiser> does anyone know what mythfrontend do every 10 min. the cpu goes up for about 10 sek, but northing in the log?
[19:15] <jphillip> weiser opengl most likely
[19:51] <jmichelse1> I am looking to use mythbuntu to start my first media center PC. I have a tuner I bought a long time ago but I have been unable to find a guide or a post by anyone that has used this particular tuner, is there a complete list of compatible devices somewhere? it's a Kworld external USB tuner box
[19:51] <directhex> if it's linux-compatible (check the linuxtv wiki) it's myth compatible
[19:52] <jmichelse1> directhex: is that source pretty up to date?
[19:53] <directhex> meh. so-so. relies on non-lazy users updating it
[19:53] <jmichelse1> haha
[19:54] <jmichelse1> sounds like linux
[19:54] <directhex> well that also relies on non-lazy users updating it
[19:54] <jmichelse1> yea
[19:55] <jmichelse1> I have been looking all over at guides and things, I am semi new to linux and completely new to pc-tv, is there a good guide on getting a card installed and working ? generic guide that runs htourgh the diff commands to test the card and stuff?
[19:56] <directhex> digital tv?
[19:58] <jmichelse1> antenna
[19:58] <jmichelse1> just to install the tuner though-
[19:58] <directhex> digital or analog antenna?
[20:00] <jmichelse1> analog
[20:02] <directhex> right. is it plugged in?
[20:02] <jmichelse1> yea usb tuner, its plugged in
[20:02] <directhex> does "ls /dev/video*" return anything?
[20:05] <jmichelse1> lsusb shows the tuner, il check dev/video
[20:07] <jmichelse1> it doest see /dev/video
[20:07] <jmichelse1> *
[20:07] <directhex> lsusb only tells you whether a device has identified itself to the machine, it doesn't mean a thing about whether there are drivers or not, or whether it works or not
[20:08] <jmichelse1> ok
[20:58] <zabbadapp> I have added a second HD (PATA, /dev/sda) to my mythbox and it won't spin down with hdparm -S240 /dev/sda ... I noticed that if I force spindown with hdparm -y /dev/sda it only stays down for a second, then spin up again! Why is that?
[21:07] <jcastro> Hi, I am wondering why mythbuntu is linked to the mythtv package here: https://edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+packages
[21:14] <superm1> what's it mean for a package to be linked on that page?
[21:25] <jcastro> I have no idea
[21:25] <jcastro> the link screws up my upstream report though, that's why I was wondering what the link does.
[21:26] <superm1> i dont recall ever setting that up, but i also don't see anything obvious for how to remove it
[21:27] <jcastro> I think I can get it removed, but I have no idea what it's for
[21:27] <superm1> well nothing we did afaik
[21:27] <superm1> so feel free to get it nuked
[21:27] <jcastro> ok, if someone hollers send them my way and I'll try to figure something out
