[00:04] <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
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <pteague> ah, ok... maybe that's the issue... i think it may have gotten set to PCM

[06:46] <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?
[06:57] <MythbuntuGuest23> hey everyone
[06:58] <TrainAss> I've been looking for an answer regarding Blu-Ray/HD-DVD playback in Mythbuntu
[06:59] <TrainAss> I haven't been able to find anything concrete, so I thought I'd pop in here and see if there are any solutions
[14:27] <faceplant> Hi all, does anyone here an HDTV tuner card?
[14:28] <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?
[14:30] <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!
[17:29] <massabuntu> hi, i have a question,  how can i make my diskless client reach the internet connection?
[17:35] <superm1> should inherently be able to
[17:38] <MythbuntuGuest42> Hello
[17:38] <MythbuntuGuest42> anyone with experience with Mythbuntu 8.04 and VNC ?
[17:43] <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.
[17:50] <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 
[17:51] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest42, okay so what happened is vnc4server is broken in 8.04
[17:52] <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
[17:53] <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
[17:54] <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
[17:56] <MythbuntuGuest42> So why does x11vnc die as soon as I log in ?
[17:56] <MythbuntuGuest42> and I have to restart it
[17:57] <superm1> that shouldn't be happening..
[17:58] <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
[17:59] <MythbuntuGuest42> Since I first have to start it with a -auth pointing to the /var/lib/gdm/0:Xauth
[17:59] <MythbuntuGuest42> hi kirkland
[18:04] <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 ?
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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 :-)
[18:11] <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.
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <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"
[18:18] <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.
[18:20] <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 ?
[18:21] <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
[18:22] <MythbuntuGuest42> I have a Radeon X1300
[18:23] <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
[18:24] <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 !
[18:25] <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 :-)
[18:26] <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 ....
[18:27] <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 ?
[18:29] <superm1> well you need to identify who is to blame there
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <MythbuntuGuest42> ah
[18:33] <MythbuntuGuest42> The TV just says "PC" and won't let me change the format so perhaps so
[18:34] <MythbuntuGuest42> will dig around and see what info I can find on the TV
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <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 :-)
[18:38] <superm1> no prob MythbuntuGuest42 . you too
[18:45] <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
[18:56] <lotia> folks is there a way to have the live cd frontend work with a machine that has an nvidia card?
[19:00] <superm1> yeah, but not with the binary driver
[19:00] <superm1> you can use the open source driver no problem though when you do
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <superm1> it would take a nontrivial development effort
[19:03] <lotia> superm1: what is casper?
[19:03]  * lotia apologizes for his ignorance and googles
[19:04] <superm1> lotia, it's what prepares a lot of the live cd environment
[19:04] <superm1> it's a canonical written tool
[19:29] <ajhtiredwolf> anyone know how to fix mplayer audio syncing issues in mythbuntu? or other wise know how to use xine in mythbuntu instead?
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <superm1> !mythvideo
[19:32] <Zinn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythVideo
[19:40] <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
[19:42] <jphillip> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine
[19:47] <ajhtiredwolf> cool thanks, looks like it just needs some configuring, works much better than mplayer though
[21:02] <lotia> ajhtiredwolf: i use vlc which seems to behave quite well.
[21:22] <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.
[21:23] <MythbuntuGuest07> My fglrx driver is 8.471 which i think is the latest
[22:36] <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?
[22:37] <LaschW> I didn't change the system date/time only mythbackend crashed and mythtv-backend became a zombie process.
[23:08] <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.
[23:10] <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
