| pteague | how exactly does mute work? i'm clicking the mute on my remote & the OSD is saying mute on & mute off, but i'm getting sound whether mute is on or off | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| superm1 | pteague, turns on and off the master mixer's volume usually | 00:18 |
| superm1 | if it's not the master mixer you want to adjust you need to go into the settings and change which one it works with | 00:18 |
| pteague | ah, ok... maybe that's the issue... i think it may have gotten set to PCM | 00:19 |

| jmichelsen | I have some questions regarding mythtv/ATI wonder remote 5000015900A. I cant seem to get lirc to work properly. I have the /etc/lircd.conf with the remotes settings, and the ~/.lircrc as well, irw wont recognize signals from the remote, anyone have any ideas? | 14:28 |
| faceplant | I've installed an ATI hdtv wonder. I'm trying to follow these instructions to install it: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_HDTV_Wonder . The tuner card can be properly probed and detected. Unfortunately, I can't change the channel on the card! | 14:30 |
| massabuntu | hi, i have a question, how can i make my diskless client reach the internet connection? | 17:29 |
| superm1 | should inherently be able to | 17:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Hello | 17:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | anyone with experience with Mythbuntu 8.04 and VNC ? | 17:38 |
| superm1 | !ask | MythbuntuGuest42 | 17:43 |
| Zinn | MythbuntuGuest42: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. | 17:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I had the previous version of Mythbuntu installed and everything was good. I upgraded to the 8.04, and since then I have problems with VNC. I can connect fine, but as soon as I try to use the mouse or keyboard, the X server dies and I get 13 lines of backtrace in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If I instead run x11vnc on display 0, I can then at least connect and log in, but as soon as I do, the session dies with caught | 17:50 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest42, okay so what happened is vnc4server is broken in 8.04 | 17:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | oic | 17:52 |
| superm1 | if you go into MCC and deactivate/reactivate VNC it will transition you to x11vnc insetad | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | lovely :( | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | But at least I know I'm not losing my mind :-) | 17:52 |
| superm1 | yeah a bit of an annoyance really | 17:52 |
| superm1 | but upstream doesn't care about new X | 17:52 |
| superm1 | so that's what happens | 17:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I just hate to fire up the projector and use my bulb to do something like add a package | 17:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | or if I need to fiddle with stuff that needs a GUI | 17:53 |
| superm1 | well you can X forward the app | 17:53 |
| superm1 | ssh -X -Y | 17:53 |
| superm1 | and then run mythbuntu-control-centre | 17:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | yeah, but I don't have anything on this end yet to accept the X connections | 17:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | my laptop is currently running Windblows | 17:54 |
| superm1 | temporarily xhost + | 17:54 |
| superm1 | oh | 17:54 |
| superm1 | well cygwin? | 17:54 |
| superm1 | or a live disk temporarily | 17:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | My Solaris boxes are headless. Soon I'll have another Ubuntu PC I can use in the living room. | 17:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | yeah | 17:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | So why does x11vnc die as soon as I log in ? | 17:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | and I have to restart it | 17:56 |
| superm1 | that shouldn't be happening.. | 17:57 |
| superm1 | but the command line options for it might be innaccurate | 17:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I'm guessing it's some kind of permissions problem. | 17:58 |
| superm1 | i forget the exact ones that are set by mcc | 17:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Since I first have to start it with a -auth pointing to the /var/lib/gdm/0:Xauth | 17:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | hi kirkland | 17:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | OK I ran a reconfigure through the MCC for VNC, and logged out afterwards - now I can't connect back in. Where does MCC store the x11vnc options and how does it start it ? Or do I now have to go and run it manually everytime ? | 18:04 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest42, it's started on the autologin | 18:07 |
| superm1 | via the session script | 18:07 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest42, so you won't see it at the gdm screen, but as soon as you are logged in you do | 18:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | OK ... so if it's started as part of the login ... then how do I log in ? | 18:08 |
| superm1 | you should have been autologging in | 18:08 |
| superm1 | is the idea | 18:08 |
| superm1 | #x11vnc | 18:08 |
| superm1 | if [ -x /usr/bin/x11vnc ] && [ -f /root/.vnc/passwd ]; then | 18:08 |
| superm1 | x11vnc -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -shared -forever -nowf -norc -notruecolor -bg | 18:08 |
| superm1 | fi | 18:08 |
| superm1 | that's what gets ran on the autologin | 18:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | ok | 18:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I've been a Solaris and AIX admin for years ... but I feel completely lost with this stuff - it's like I"m in a new world, and nothing is where I expect it to be :-) | 18:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | One of the reasons I don't have it set to autologin, is that only my userid shows up in the list. The mythtv user doesn't, and I would rather stuff run as mythtv, than as me. | 18:11 |
| superm1 | well that's not what you are supposed to do though | 18:14 |
| superm1 | that mythtv user is meant ONLY for the mythbackend daemon | 18:14 |
| superm1 | and for creating a mythtv group common among users | 18:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | ah ok | 18:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I will create another userid for it to run as then | 18:15 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | so my stuff stays separate | 18:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | where is the autologin session script you mentioned with the x11vnc stuff kept ? | 18:16 |
| superm1 | /usr/share/mythbuntu | 18:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | cool thanks | 18:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | you've been a great help | 18:16 |
| superm1 | that's the session script that runs when you've configured autologin in mcc at least | 18:16 |
| superm1 | no prob | 18:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I think I'll go see what I can work out from here :-) | 18:17 |
| superm1 | if you've got ideas for how to make things work better at all, we're open to suggestions | 18:17 |
| superm1 | just because it's done this way right now doesn't mean it's done "Right" | 18:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | cool ... I don't feel qualified at the moment ... as I said, I seem to get lost with Ubuntu, but I'm trying to learn. I eventually want to completely get rid of every Mickeysoft POS operating system in my house :-) | 18:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | A friend got me interested in mythtv, as I hated to install MS media center. | 18:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Oh, one futher question - I was thrilled to finally get my video card and TV working - that took me 3 days of pulling my hair out. I'd like to post what worked for me, in case it will help others. Where is the best place to post it ? | 18:20 |
| superm1 | in the forums | 18:21 |
| superm1 | but i'm interested in what didn't work off the bat with the installer? | 18:21 |
| superm1 | the installer offers questions about setting up the tv for your | 18:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I have a Radeon X1300 | 18:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I couldn't for the life of me get the tv-out to work. Mind you, this was with the previous version. I ended up digging through various guides and trying different things until I found the right drivers that worked, and then had to figure out what lines to put in the xorg.conf to get the tvout enabled and the other monitor I had. | 18:23 |
| superm1 | oh | 18:23 |
| superm1 | well actually ati's command line utility generally does the trick | 18:23 |
| superm1 | if you pass the right options | 18:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | heheh ... yes but for me the question was what were the right options ? | 18:24 |
| superm1 | which is what 8.04's installer should have covered, but since you upgraded, that explains things | 18:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | It didn't recognize my old Westinghouse TV or the Panasonic | 18:24 |
| superm1 | be wary, AMD hasn't released a driver for 8.10 | 18:24 |
| superm1 | so don't upgrade to 8.10 until they do | 18:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Oh that's good to know ! | 18:24 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | My friend was bugging me to upgrade to 8.10 as soon as it comes out, and I told him I prefer not to live on the bleeding edge - I get tired of putting on band-aids :-) | 18:25 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | This time after the upgrade, it did work well with my new Mitsubishi TV, and all I had to do was fix the resolutions so it would work at 1920x1080 .... | 18:26 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Oh, that's soemthing else - I've noticd that while the TV says it does 1920x1080, and it works and looks great, the pixture is centered in the screen with about a 1.5" border around it, instead of fillin gup the screen .. any way to tell the xserver (and myth) to stretch it to fill whole screen ? | 18:27 |
| superm1 | well you need to identify who is to blame there | 18:29 |
| superm1 | if it's the driver, or if the tv should be stretching it | 18:30 |
| superm1 | the tv might be doing this so as to prevent overscan | 18:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | ah | 18:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | The TV just says "PC" and won't let me change the format so perhaps so | 18:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | will dig around and see what info I can find on the TV | 18:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | if it's the driver then how would I change it ? I'm using the fglrx driver | 18:35 |
| superm1 | amd's control centre | 18:35 |
| superm1 | amdcccle | 18:35 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | ok thanks | 18:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | I really appreciate all your help | 18:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | Have a good day/evening depending where you are in the world :-) | 18:36 |
| superm1 | no prob MythbuntuGuest42 . you too | 18:38 |
| ajhtiredwolf | anyone know how to get totem working in mythbuntu as a media player? I want to use it instead of mplayer because mplayer is having audio sync problems | 18:45 |
| lotia | folks is there a way to have the live cd frontend work with a machine that has an nvidia card? | 18:56 |
| superm1 | yeah, but not with the binary driver | 19:00 |
| superm1 | you can use the open source driver no problem though when you do | 19:00 |
| lotia | superm1: thanks. is there a way to do a custom image using the standard build so it contains the binary driver? | 19:02 |
| superm1 | lotia, casper unfortunately prevents that | 19:02 |
| superm1 | it would take a nontrivial development effort | 19:03 |
| lotia | superm1: what is casper? | 19:03 |
| * lotia apologizes for his ignorance and googles | 19:03 | |
| superm1 | lotia, it's what prepares a lot of the live cd environment | 19:04 |
| superm1 | it's a canonical written tool | 19:04 |
| ajhtiredwolf | anyone know how to fix mplayer audio syncing issues in mythbuntu? or other wise know how to use xine in mythbuntu instead? | 19:29 |
| superm1 | there is a a wiki page explaining it | 19:31 |
| superm1 | how to switch players | 19:31 |
| superm1 | on help.ubuntu.com | 19:31 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure if Zinn knows about it | 19:31 |
| superm1 | !mythvideo | 19:31 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about mythvideo | 19:31 |
| superm1 | !mythvideo | 19:32 |
| Zinn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythVideo | 19:32 |
| ajhtiredwolf | i know how to install and use xine | 19:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | but if you just type in totem-xine as the player in mythbuntu | 19:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | it will play in the background instead of the current window, mplayer has a bunch of special options at the end of the comman | 19:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | d | 19:40 |
| ajhtiredwolf | im wondering which ones are needed for xine to work in mythbuntu | 19:40 |
| jphillip | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine | 19:42 |
| ajhtiredwolf | cool thanks, looks like it just needs some configuring, works much better than mplayer though | 19:47 |
| lotia | ajhtiredwolf: i use vlc which seems to behave quite well. | 21:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | Hello, after making a few configuration changes (disabling/re-enabling VNC, creating a new mythuser and setting it to autologin), I restarted my X server and my resolution on the TV dropped to 1024x768. Checking the Xorg.0.log, I see it is no longer getting correct EDID data. I've tried restarting X, rebooting the machine, turning the TV off/waiting/turning it on (it's a DLP so have to wait for the lamp) and reboo | 21:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | I still can not get the EDID data back. | 21:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | My fglrx driver is 8.471 which i think is the latest | 21:23 |
| LaschW | My EPG suddenly shows all programms 1hour earlier. So a sending which starts at 20:00 is shown to start at 19:00. Any idea why / how this happened? | 22:36 |
| LaschW | I didn't change the system date/time only mythbackend crashed and mythtv-backend became a zombie process. | 22:37 |
| cobb28 | hello, i;ve been trying to get mythbuntu working for about 7 hours now and am wits end...i followed 2 different guides exactly and everything seems to work perfectly in the setup except for liveTV, when I click watchTV nothing happens. | 23:08 |
| cobb28 | i am using a HD Homerun and mythbuntu 8.04, DVI to HDMI cable from nvidia card into an Onkyo receiver, i do not have the sound working through the spdif connection yet | 23:10 |
