[00:21] <williammanda> can anyone tell me how to see what speed what nic is running? I tried ethtool but it won't work.
[00:35] <directhex> as root?
[00:35] <directhex> i.e. "sudo ethtool eth0"?
[00:48] <jmichelsen> I could use some help troubleshooting a capture device. lsubs detects it, /dev/video0 is present, when I cat /dev/video0, the capture box lights come on but the output vid file is empty, any help here?
[02:03] <mimo> hi - i got sent here from the myth-dev list. i posted my problem with gdb trace report here http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2008-September/063193.html
[02:10] <mimo> nevermind. i need to get some sleep. just in case someone reads this i notice that it's not crashing when launched from  different x session and under a different user. good night.

[14:27] <directhex> superm1 & Daviey, ping
[14:33] <superm1> yeah what's up?
[14:33] <superm1> directhex,
[14:33] <directhex> hm, never mind, google was faster ;)
[14:33] <directhex> was gonna ask about a bug in your mirror & sign script, but google found a seemingly newer one
[14:33] <directhex> without the bug
[14:34] <superm1> are you stealing our mirror and sign script? :)
[14:34] <Blain> Has anyone seen these errors in mythbackend.log before. I've googled to no avail. VIDIOCGCHAN: Invalid argument

[14:36] <directhex> superm1, stealing? someone put it on launchpadlibrarian
[14:36] <directhex> superm1, which officially makes it fair game ;)
[14:36] <superm1> directhex, i was kidding anyhow
[14:36] <superm1> steal away
[14:36] <superm1> there is a newer version directly in bzr
[14:36] <directhex> superm1, i already had to make some hax, so i just wanted that one bug fixed
[14:36] <directhex> stray \{\} file is messy
[14:38] <superm1> directhex, fix it?
[14:38] <superm1> and give us a patch...
[14:38] <directhex> superm1, it's fixed in the latest version of the script!
[14:38] <superm1> oh
[14:38] <superm1> well there you go
[14:38] <directhex> or the version i found
[14:39] <directhex> and find syntax is evil anyway, which is why i was looking for an update from someone less dumb than me :)
[14:39] <superm1> directhex, i think lp:~mythbuntu/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-weekly-build should be the latest branch
[14:39] <directhex> did you get your hands on those apache logs in the end?
[14:39] <superm1> no i didnt
[14:40] <directhex> aw, never mind

[17:54] <adam_> hi all, I have the latest version of Mythbuntu installed, I have been trying get diskless clients working but keep on getting an error half way through the boot process.  The client successfully connects to the dhcp server, loads the kernel and displays the mythbuntu splash screen.  Shortly  afterwoods I get an error: Server Authorization directory .. is set to /var/lib/gdm but is not owned by user ...  I have looked at the /etc/
[17:54] <adam_> passwd files on server and client and they are different, is this right and does anyone have any ideas what my problem is?
[19:51] <javatexan> hey all
[20:10] <balz> I'm having a bit of an odd problem with mythweb, and I honestly don't even know where to start.  When I access the Videos section of mythweb, Information for all of my videos appear, but there is no cover art, and clickin gon the title yields a "Not Foun" error.
[20:10] <balz> where should I start?  I know absolutely nothing about mythweb's workings
[20:13] <balz> any suggestions would be welcome, even if it's just which logs i should be looking at
[20:33] <jphillip> balz you should check your video_covers symlink in /var/www/mythweb/data
[20:33] <jphillip> its prob pointing to the wrong spot
[20:33] <balz> jphillip:  how do i do that on the command line?
[20:35] <jphillip> cd /var/www/mythweb/data
[20:36] <jphillip> ls -la will sow you them
[20:36] <jphillip> then try to cd to where the video covers are
[20:37] <balz> jphillip:  can i pastebin the output?  I'm a complete n00b..
[20:37] <balz> my movies and posters are on a separate drive under /media/500gb/video and /media/500gb/posters
[20:41] <jphillip> balz if you ls -la /var/www/mythweb/data/video_covers does it point at the posters dir you mentioned?
[20:41] <balz> ooh i see... hang on. sorry i got mixed up
[20:42] <balz> um... it appears that it does not
[20:42] <balz> louis@server:/var/www/mythweb/data/video_covers$ ls -la
[20:42] <balz> total 0
[20:42] <balz> drwxrwxr-x 2 mythtv mythtv  1 2008-06-03 06:59 .
[20:42] <balz> drwxr-xr-x 6 root   root   32 2008-07-05 00:20 ..
[20:42] <balz> whoops. sorry about the flood.
[20:46] <jphillip> !pastebin
[20:46] <Zinn> when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.
[20:46] <jphillip> balz it should look something like this http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d712df162
[20:50] <balz> yeah i have nothing below the first 5 lines, and line 3 reads total:0
[20:50] <balz> so i'm guessing the symlinks arent' there?  how do i add them?
[20:51] <jphillip> ln -s <target> <link_name>
[20:56] <balz> jphillip:  Ok. I'm guessing that the target is the folder containing the posters, but what do i put for link name?
[20:57] <jphillip> video_covers
[20:58] <balz> okay. thanks a bunch
[20:58] <balz> and that ought to fix it?
[20:58] <jphillip> it should
[20:59] <balz> hmm still nothing
[21:04] <balz> jphillip:  i think i have it figured out... just a few symlinks in wrong places
[21:04] <balz> thanks for the help!
[21:04] <balz> btw, what exactly is a symlink?
[21:04] <jphillip> no  problem
[21:04] <balz> is it like a shortcut?
[21:04] <jphillip> basically a pointer to a folder in a different location
[21:05] <balz> so why use that instead of pointing a config file to a different directory/
[21:05] <balz> ?
[21:06] <balz> it seems kind of pointless, but i feel i must be missing something lol
[21:07] <jphillip> thats essentially the same end results, but you have to realize that the website can only see things within its own directory
[21:07] <jphillip> so it can't randomly browse to a different folder on your hard drive
[21:08] <fishsponge_> hey people - i need a spot of advice... have new Mythbuntu PC hooked up to HDTV using VGA lead - can i get above standard (low) resolution?
[21:08] <fishsponge_> i think i'm on 1024x768 at the moment...
[21:10] <jphillip> fishsponge_ 1. are you sure your TV can display @ a higher res?
[21:11] <jphillip> 2. if so then perhaps your vga cable isn't transmitting the EDID data properly, you can try another one
[21:14] <directhex> nvidia?
[21:17] <fishsponge_> iphillip: it's a 1080P HDTV so i know it can display higher resolutions generally... not sure about high resolutions through VGA though. and the VGA cable does have all the pins... so surely that's not the issue...
[21:18] <fishsponge_> and yes - it's a 32MB nvidia GeForce 2 - a bit crap, but so's the PC...
[21:22] <jphillip> fishsponge_ sounds like you have some research to do, if it can't do higher through the vga you can't do anything else
[21:22] <fishsponge_> that's very true
[21:22] <jphillip> if it can then you can modify your xorg.conf to hardcode a resolution
[21:22] <fishsponge_> i'll figure that out tomorrow then...
[21:22] <fishsponge_> few more things though...
[21:22] <jphillip> hold on a second, I'll pastebin my config
[21:22] <fishsponge_> isn't mythTV a pain to configure still! lol
[21:23] <fishsponge_> secondly... i'm struggling to get any of the Internet streams to work...
[21:23] <fishsponge_> keep getting "no URLs found"
[21:23] <jphillip> pretty easy IMO, I've done it quite a bit though
[21:23] <fishsponge_> well, i'm comparing MythTV to Windows XP Media Center... XP Media Center is completely hands off and just somehow works!
[21:23] <fishsponge_> but anyway, it's not free, so MythTV is immediately better!
[21:24] <jphillip> when it does work :P
[21:24] <jphillip> are you using mythbuntu or adding to ubuntu?
[21:24] <fishsponge_> anyway... is the "no urls found" message normal, or is something misconfigured?
[21:24] <fishsponge_> i'm using mythbuntu
[21:24] <fishsponge_> from this month's "Linux Format" magazine
[21:25] <jphillip> I'm honestly not sure about the streams, I know we have some new stream functionality in testing, link is in the topic
[21:25] <fishsponge_> also, i have my photo gallery and music collection on another machine at the moment and i would like to copy it onto my mythbuntu box - where should i rsync it all to?
[21:26] <fishsponge_> and more to the point... what is my root password going to be?? i've not been asked to set it yet...
[21:26] <jphillip> there is no root password
[21:26] <fishsponge_> which surely means rsyncing my music and photo collection from my PC upstairs is going to be tricky, no?
[21:26] <jphillip> you use sudo to do everything
[21:26] <fishsponge_> how would i rsync in as root then, or don't i need to?
[21:27] <jphillip> as far as the rsync, you can just set up a share on the remote computer and access them through that
[21:27] <fishsponge_> basically, my photos are kept online - my web site is then rsync'd to my PC upstairs, and i want my PC upstairs to then rsync the photos with the mythbuntu box...
[21:27] <jphillip> PC == windows?
[21:27] <fishsponge_> the remote computer is notoriously unreliable, hence why i want to rsync them to mythbuntu...
[21:27] <jphillip> ah ok
[21:27] <fishsponge_> no, PC = Suse Linux 10.2
[21:27] <jphillip> running ssh?
[21:27] <fishsponge_> indeed
[21:28] <fishsponge_> but i want to initiate the rsync from the PC upstairs if i can...
[21:28] <fishsponge_> to rsync INTO the mythbuntu box...
[21:29] <fishsponge_> i am in fact, SSH'd into the PC upstairs and running xchat on it, exporting my display to mythbuntu! lol
[21:29] <jphillip> not sure what issue you have with rsync, can't you just use your user account and setup propper permissions on a folder?
[21:29] <jphillip> you can use scp as well
[21:30] <jphillip> setup an nfs share and pull over that, there are a lot of different ways to do it, depends what you are most comfortable with
[21:30] <fishsponge_> the thing with NFS is, it can hang indefinitely if the server goes offline...
[21:31] <fishsponge_> so i'm not keen on NFS unless it's used with automount, and automount is buggy, so that's not ideal..
[21:31] <jphillip> unmount remount, and there is a way to refresh stale nfs connections (I don't recall off the top of my head though)
[21:31] <fishsponge_> rsync is the same as SCP in concept, except has less network bandwidth when run multiple times, so that's my favourite option
[21:32] <fishsponge_> so anyway, i can rsync using my user account no problem, but what folder do i need to rsync the images into for mythTV to see them?
[21:32] <fishsponge_> i assume it's not /home/username/pictures...
[21:35] <fishsponge_> i might disappear accidentally... finally installing the online updates! if i do disappear, i will be back though - i wanna know where to rsync my music and photos to for mythtv to see them! :-)
[21:36] <jphillip> avoid home
[21:37] <jphillip> you can get into some problems when you use your home dir for things
[21:37] <fishsponge_> ok, will do... where should i rsync to though?
[21:37] <jphillip> make somewhere then point mythtv at it later
[21:37] <fishsponge_> isn't there a central directory somewhere that mythtv likes you to put things for it to index?
[21:37] <jphillip> default is /var/lib/mythtv/
[21:37] <jphillip> so you can just make an images folder in there
[21:37] <fishsponge_> ah, ok... cool :-)
[21:37] <fishsponge_> so if i create "/media/photos/" for example, i can tell mythtv to index that as well??
[21:39] <fishsponge_> if so, that's very cool... i think i'll stick to /var/lib/mythtv though...
[21:39] <fishsponge_> thanks!
[21:39] <fishsponge_> logging off to reboot...
[21:44] <zabbadapp> a second HD that is rarely used (backup of files) refuses to spin down ... hdparm -y /dev/sda will spin down, but only for a few seconds. What is accessing it?
[22:07] <fishsponge_> hello again, people
[22:07] <fishsponge_> can mythbuntu talk to a uPnP server on my network?
[22:11] <hads> There's no uPnP client in myth AFAIK
[22:12] <fishsponge_> hmm... ok, no worries
[22:12] <fishsponge_> i suppose the way to get around that would be to turn your uPnP box into another MythTV box, right?
[22:13] <hads> That would work
[23:02] <fishsponge_> can anyone help me to get my DVB-T card working? i know it works in XP Media Center, but can't get it working in Mythbuntu... it does recognise it though...
[23:07] <fishsponge_> also... i keep adding MP3 files and photos to the /var/lib/mythtv folders but they're not showing up in mythtv... any ideas how to tell it they're there?
[23:11] <fishsponge_> can anyone tell me how to get mythTV to recognise the new files i've put in /var/lib/mythtv/pictures and music?
[23:15]  * hads stabs X
[23:15] <hads> Stop messing with my xorg.conf
[23:19] <famicom> yeah
[23:19] <famicom> x can be gay like that
[23:20] <fishsponge_> do you know how to get mythtv to see the new files i've added to it's directories?
[23:35] <hads> Aha! Silly LTSP
