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] hey everyone === MythbuntuGuest23 is now known as TrainAss [06:58] I've been looking for an answer regarding Blu-Ray/HD-DVD playback in Mythbuntu [06:59] I haven't been able to find anything concrete, so I thought I'd pop in here and see if there are any solutions === cann_ is now known as cann === croppa_ is now known as croppa [14:27] Hi all, does anyone here an HDTV tuner card? [14:28] 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] 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] hi, i have a question, how can i make my diskless client reach the internet connection? [17:35] should inherently be able to [17:38] Hello [17:38] anyone with experience with Mythbuntu 8.04 and VNC ? [17:43] !ask | MythbuntuGuest42 [17:43] 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] 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] MythbuntuGuest42, okay so what happened is vnc4server is broken in 8.04 [17:52] oic [17:52] if you go into MCC and deactivate/reactivate VNC it will transition you to x11vnc insetad [17:52] lovely :( [17:52] But at least I know I'm not losing my mind :-) [17:52] yeah a bit of an annoyance really [17:52] but upstream doesn't care about new X [17:52] so that's what happens [17:53] I just hate to fire up the projector and use my bulb to do something like add a package [17:53] or if I need to fiddle with stuff that needs a GUI [17:53] well you can X forward the app [17:53] ssh -X -Y [17:53] and then run mythbuntu-control-centre [17:53] yeah, but I don't have anything on this end yet to accept the X connections [17:54] my laptop is currently running Windblows [17:54] temporarily xhost + [17:54] oh [17:54] well cygwin? [17:54] or a live disk temporarily [17:54] My Solaris boxes are headless. Soon I'll have another Ubuntu PC I can use in the living room. [17:54] yeah [17:56] So why does x11vnc die as soon as I log in ? [17:56] and I have to restart it [17:57] that shouldn't be happening.. [17:58] but the command line options for it might be innaccurate [17:58] I'm guessing it's some kind of permissions problem. [17:58] i forget the exact ones that are set by mcc [17:59] Since I first have to start it with a -auth pointing to the /var/lib/gdm/0:Xauth [17:59] hi kirkland [18:04] 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] MythbuntuGuest42, it's started on the autologin [18:07] via the session script [18:07] MythbuntuGuest42, so you won't see it at the gdm screen, but as soon as you are logged in you do [18:08] OK ... so if it's started as part of the login ... then how do I log in ? [18:08] you should have been autologging in [18:08] is the idea [18:08] #x11vnc [18:08] if [ -x /usr/bin/x11vnc ] && [ -f /root/.vnc/passwd ]; then [18:08] x11vnc -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -shared -forever -nowf -norc -notruecolor -bg [18:08] fi [18:08] that's what gets ran on the autologin [18:09] ok [18:09] 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] 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] well that's not what you are supposed to do though [18:14] that mythtv user is meant ONLY for the mythbackend daemon [18:15] and for creating a mythtv group common among users [18:15] ah ok [18:15] I will create another userid for it to run as then [18:16] so my stuff stays separate [18:16] where is the autologin session script you mentioned with the x11vnc stuff kept ? [18:16] /usr/share/mythbuntu [18:16] cool thanks [18:16] you've been a great help [18:16] that's the session script that runs when you've configured autologin in mcc at least [18:17] no prob [18:17] I think I'll go see what I can work out from here :-) [18:17] if you've got ideas for how to make things work better at all, we're open to suggestions [18:17] just because it's done this way right now doesn't mean it's done "Right" [18:18] 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] A friend got me interested in mythtv, as I hated to install MS media center. [18:20] 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] in the forums [18:21] but i'm interested in what didn't work off the bat with the installer? [18:21] the installer offers questions about setting up the tv for your [18:22] I have a Radeon X1300 [18:23] 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] oh [18:23] well actually ati's command line utility generally does the trick [18:23] if you pass the right options [18:24] heheh ... yes but for me the question was what were the right options ? [18:24] which is what 8.04's installer should have covered, but since you upgraded, that explains things [18:24] It didn't recognize my old Westinghouse TV or the Panasonic [18:24] be wary, AMD hasn't released a driver for 8.10 [18:24] so don't upgrade to 8.10 until they do [18:24] Oh that's good to know ! [18:25] 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] 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] 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] well you need to identify who is to blame there [18:30] if it's the driver, or if the tv should be stretching it [18:30] the tv might be doing this so as to prevent overscan [18:31] ah [18:33] The TV just says "PC" and won't let me change the format so perhaps so [18:34] will dig around and see what info I can find on the TV [18:35] if it's the driver then how would I change it ? I'm using the fglrx driver [18:35] amd's control centre [18:35] amdcccle [18:36] ok thanks [18:36] I really appreciate all your help [18:36] Have a good day/evening depending where you are in the world :-) [18:38] no prob MythbuntuGuest42 . you too [18:45] 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] folks is there a way to have the live cd frontend work with a machine that has an nvidia card? [19:00] yeah, but not with the binary driver [19:00] you can use the open source driver no problem though when you do [19:02] superm1: thanks. is there a way to do a custom image using the standard build so it contains the binary driver? [19:02] lotia, casper unfortunately prevents that [19:03] it would take a nontrivial development effort [19:03] superm1: what is casper? [19:03] * lotia apologizes for his ignorance and googles [19:04] lotia, it's what prepares a lot of the live cd environment [19:04] it's a canonical written tool [19:29] anyone know how to fix mplayer audio syncing issues in mythbuntu? or other wise know how to use xine in mythbuntu instead? [19:31] there is a a wiki page explaining it [19:31] how to switch players [19:31] on help.ubuntu.com [19:31] i'm not sure if Zinn knows about it [19:31] !mythvideo [19:31] Sorry I don't know about mythvideo [19:32] !mythvideo [19:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythVideo [19:40] i know how to install and use xine [19:40] but if you just type in totem-xine as the player in mythbuntu [19:40] 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] d [19:40] im wondering which ones are needed for xine to work in mythbuntu [19:42] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_Xine [19:47] cool thanks, looks like it just needs some configuring, works much better than mplayer though [21:02] ajhtiredwolf: i use vlc which seems to behave quite well. [21:22] 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] I still can not get the EDID data back. [21:23] My fglrx driver is 8.471 which i think is the latest [22:36] 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] I didn't change the system date/time only mythbackend crashed and mythtv-backend became a zombie process. [23:08] 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] 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
