[00:26] <MythbuntuGuest77> I'm having problems with a mythbuntu front end being able to play ripped dvd's from a mythbuntu backend.  The front end "sees" the directory of DVD's but when I go to play one it says it can't find the .iso
[00:29] <hads> You'll need to mount the directory on the frontend, it won't stream them automatically.
[00:53] <MythbuntuGuest77> ah, ok.  is there any good doc on setting up the nfs for that?
[00:54] <Jonathon> I will try again with my question :)
[00:54] <Jonathon>  Why does my tv scan pickup my external STB, but a MythTV scan does not? I can't even get a picture when I set it to the specific channel?
[01:02] <hads> MythbuntuGuest77: You need to add a line to /etc/exports and restart the NFS server
[01:05] <gregL> Jonathon: A little more info would be helpful..What country? What capture card? What are you using for listings?
[01:07] <Jonathon> gregL: Australia. Leadtek DVT1000T is the card. The listings on the tv are from the tv grabber, but there are no listings for the satellite yet, I just want to get pictures first :)
[01:11] <Jonathon> gregL: I have the STB set to channel 28 at the moment, but I have also tried various other channels for it with similar results. I have tried scanning, but this channel does not show signal, so I define the channel and have set both channel number and frequency as different tests, but all the same result. When I access that channel, it says there should have been a lock already and just shows a black screen.
[01:18] <gregL> jonathon: Ok sorry i can't help you..I am in the US and we have a totally different system here...There are a few guys fron AU that hang out in # mythtv-users  you may be able to get help from them... Good luck
[01:19] <Jonathon> gregL: I would think the functionality would be the same though - it is just different frequencies. Thanks anyway.
[01:19] <gregL> Jonathon: One thing to check is make sure you permissions care correct..
[01:20] <Jonathon> gregL: Which permissions are those? I have one coax cable coming into the card and I can get all the tv stations, but not the satellite one? When I plug it into a tv, I can get everything?
[01:23] <gregL> Jonathon: Using you myth box with direct cable you get all stations? Correct?
[01:24] <Jonathon> gregL: Yeah, tv works fine, it is just the satellite coming through the same STB that is not working?
[01:24] <gregL> Jonathon: How are you hooking up your stb to your myth box?
[01:25] <Jonathon> gregL: The coax cable goes from rf-out on the STB to the antenna in on my tuner card :)
[01:26] <Jonathon> gregL: If you mean configuration-wise, I think I have tried all possible combinations, but it can't be this hard. I must be missing something obvious here.
[01:27] <gregL> Jonathon: Ok That's not how i do it here...I feed the stb to my card via svido cable...Then in set up i choose svideo as my input..
[01:28] <Jonathon> OK. I can understand that, and I have got the video that way, but I have not got sound working yet (at least through the same setup).
[01:28] <hads> Don't you have DVB in Australia? Why not use a DVB-S card for digital capture.
[01:29] <Jonathon> hads: Yes, I don't have a DVB-S card, but I do have the STB already there, so I thought that would be the simplest setup :)
[01:30] <hads> Ah okay. Well if you can pick one up cheap then it's probably a better solution. Higher quality and straight forward to do.
[01:31] <gregL> Jonathon: as for the sound you will need to run your audio from your stp to your capture card...
[01:31] <Jonathon> I guess my most fundamental question, I still don't understand is this - why can I scan using a tv and see the satellite on channel 45, but when I scan with mythtv (or set it manually), it does not show up anything on channel 45?
[01:31] <hads> Pass, I don't use analog.
[01:32] <Jonathon> gregL: yeah, the sound issue is mine. The card does not actually have audio input, it goes into the sound card directly.
[01:33] <Jonathon> hads: It is not analog - I am getting all the digital channels. Is this what you mean?
[01:33] <gregL> Jonathon: Try the svideo and audio suggestion i gave you..If that don't work,try #mythtv-users for more help..
[01:34] <hads> If you're using the RF output from a STB that's analog to myth.
[01:34] <Jonathon> gregL: Yeah, I am just one of those guys that need to know why something doesn't work! ;)
[01:35] <Jonathon> hads: Ah, okay.
[01:35] <Jonathon> Well, thanks anyway. I will try the other channel and see how things go.
[01:38] <gregL> Jonathon: Nothing wrong with trying to figure things out....I struggle with this a lot myself...I lurk alot..You learn alot that way...
[01:40] <Jonathon> gregL: Yeah, like I said, I am simply changing the tuner at the end of the cable - one works, one doesn't? Odd!?
[02:22] <MythbuntuGuest77> I'm trying to setup a frontend with an existing backend.  I have /etc/exports and /etc/hosts.allow setup on the backend.  When I try to mount the videos on the frontend I'm getting mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting
[02:24] <williammanda> what is the url for posting photos?
[02:48] <tgm4883_laptop> williammanda, imagebin?
[08:23] <psicobra> hi guys i just added a new hard drive to my media center i partitioned and formatted it as ext3 i mounted it using fstab as /home/username/media but when i trye and copy stuff to it i get an error about oermissions
[08:23] <psicobra> permissionsb
[08:25] <hads> It's probably a better idea to mount it under /mnt or something.
[08:25] <hads> And you'll want to give yourself and possibly other users access to it.
[08:25] <psicobra> i.e /mnt/media?
[08:25] <psicobra> how?
[08:25] <hads> Yeah, it's not a major but that would be more standard.
[08:25] <psicobra> i can copy stuff to it as rout
[08:26] <psicobra> am copying 120 GB now at 63 MB/sec
[08:26] <hads> If you copy as root then the files will be owned as root which is probably not what you want.
[08:26] <psicobra> no very true
[08:27] <hads> chown and chmod will allow you to give permissions to your user.
[08:27] <psicobra> so how do it change the drive to it is accsible by all
[08:27] <hads> If this is a mythtv box then you'll be a member of the mythtv group.
[08:27] <psicobra> yes
[08:28] <hads> `sudo chown :mythtv /mnt/media`
[08:28] <hads> `sudo chmod 775 /mnt/media`
[08:28] <psicobra> k so my drive is /dev/sdc fs is /dev/sdc1 it is mounted to /home/psicobra/media at the moment what do i need to do?
[08:28] <hads> The users group would be more standard but I'm not sure if Ubuntu adds users to that by default.
[08:28] <psicobra> ok i get ya
[08:29] <psicobra> if i leave it mounted where it is i would need to type sudo chown :mythtv /home/psicobra/media
[08:30] <hads> Correct
[08:30] <psicobra> then sudo chmod 775 /home/psicobra/media
[08:30] <hads> But if it's in your home directory then you may as well just own it yourself.
[08:31] <psicobra> i do own it i can view files can't copy to drive unless root tho
[08:31] <hads> Show me ls -l /home/psicobra/media
[08:33] <psicobra> http://pastebin.com/m1f65871c
[08:34] <hads> Oh, sorry, ls -ld, I wanted to see the permissions of the actual directoryl
[08:34] <hads> One line is safe to paste here.
[08:34] <psicobra> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-10-15 08:31 /home/andrew/media
[08:35] <hads> Yeah so you don't own it. That bit that says root root means that root owns it.
[08:36] <hads> so `sudo chown andrew:andrew /home/andrew/media`
[08:37] <psicobra> drwxrwxr-x 3 root mythtv 4096 2008-10-15 08:31 /home/andrew/media
[08:37] <hads> That should be fine too.
[08:37] <psicobra> drwxrwxr-x 3 andrew mythtv 4096 2008-10-15 08:31 /home/andrew/media
[08:37] <psicobra> better
[08:38] <psicobra> nice one thanks
[08:38] <psicobra> it's working great
[08:38] <hads> Sure
[08:39] <psicobra> will it now stay that way even after i reboot?
[08:39] <hads> Yup
[08:39] <psicobra> your a star thanks
[08:39] <hads> :D
[13:20] <balachmar> Hi, I upgraded to 8.10 a few days ago and now nvram-wakeup has broken. I get the following error message: nvram-wakeup: /dev/rtc: No such file or directory. And indeed there is no /dev/rtc but there is a /dev/rtc0! Anyone else has had these problems?
[13:26] <balachmar> OK, found a solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/252924
[14:23] <pteague> hmm... this isn't good in the log - Segmentation fault
[15:16] <nauseabond> Hi, i'm searching for an hybrid dvb-t card (as possible cheap) compatible out of the box with mythbuntu. Suggestions ? Thanks
[15:18] <nauseabond> the card must have pci bus
[16:15] <gladideg_> I have installed my PVR-150 card. Anyone with experience with it and ubuntu? I'm trying to capture from the S-VIDEO input, but with no luck. /dev/vide0 is snowy, propably the tvtuner, but /dev/video24 /dev/video32 is black, and gives me an error when I try to watch the files in outputs. Hopefully someone has experience, please tell me :)
[16:16] <tgm4883_laptop> gladideg_, are you trying to capture from command line?
[16:16] <gladideg_> tgm4883_laptop, yes I am. I'm just doing it by: cat /dev/... > test.mpeg
[16:17] <tgm4883_laptop> well theres your problem
[16:17] <tgm4883_laptop> you didn't change inputs did you
[16:17] <gladideg_> http://pastebin.com/d406f4ab6 <- dmesg for the devices
[16:17] <tgm4883_laptop> forget /dev/video24 and /dev/video32
[16:17] <gladideg_> hmm... I need to change the input, so /dev/video0 reads from the S-VIDEO port?
[16:17] <tgm4883_laptop> gladideg_, theres a command to run to get it to switch inputs
[16:18] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[16:18] <gladideg_> Oooh..
[16:18] <gladideg_> I'm so glad you told me )
[16:18] <tgm4883_laptop> sec, i'll grab the command if I can find it
[16:18] <gladideg_> I'll download ivtv utils in the mean time
[16:19] <gladideg_> ivtvctl -p [x]
[16:19] <tgm4883_laptop> that sounds about right
[16:22] <gladideg_> somehow it doesn't recognize the option
[16:22] <tgm4883_laptop> actually it looks like it should be
[16:23] <tgm4883_laptop> v4l2-ctl -i #
[16:23] <tgm4883_laptop> where # I think is 1
[16:23] <tgm4883_laptop> for svideo
[16:23] <tgm4883_laptop> it is on my pvr-500 anyway
[16:26] <gladideg_> Yes, it worked !
[16:26] <tgm4883_laptop> as it should have ;)
[16:27] <gladideg_> I have to thank you for that one :)
[16:28] <uncola> hi.. is anyone around?
[16:29] <tgm4883_laptop> !hi | uncola
[16:29] <Zinn> uncola: Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[16:29] <uncola> I haven't used linux in 5 years
[16:30]  * tgm4883_laptop quietly sneaks out
[16:30]  * superm1 trips tgm4883_laptop on his way out
[16:30] <uncola> I just ordered the parts to build an htpc and I want to run linux on it
[16:31] <uncola> but this htpc will be used to play downloaded avi files mostly
[16:31] <uncola> I'm not going to use a tv card at all
[16:31]  * tgm4883_laptop grabs superm1's leg on the way down and spins him around to face the user
[16:31] <uncola> also I want the htpc to download the files for me via usenet and torrent etc
[16:31] <uncola> basically I want the htpc to display the program "Boxee" on the tv
[16:32] <uncola> and I want to use my pc to remote desktop in and start the downloads of files
[16:32] <tgm4883_laptop> uncola, are you ever going to put a tv tuner card in there?
[16:32] <uncola> and I have a MS IR receiver and remote
[16:32] <uncola> no tgm4883
[16:32] <uncola> so, given what I want to do.. should I use mythbuntu or just use normal ubuntu and run the program "Boxee" and customize it to auto logina nd start boxee etc
[16:33] <tgm4883_laptop> doesn't sound like you want mythtv at all
[16:33] <uncola> hmm, I see
[16:34] <tgm4883_laptop> I was going to recommend xbmc or elisa, but looks like boxee is based on xbmc
[16:35] <uncola> yah it is..
[16:35] <uncola> what's elisa?
[16:35] <uncola> I used to run xbmc on my original xbox and it was great.. just couldn'
[16:35] <uncola> t do 1080p x264 mkv type stuff
[16:35] <tgm4883_laptop> http://elisa.fluendo.com/
[16:35] <tgm4883_laptop> you can also run xbmc on linux
[16:37] <uncola> elisa looks neat.. looking for video demos now
[16:37] <uncola> you seem pretty knowledgeable
[16:38] <tgm4883_laptop> thanks
[16:38] <tgm4883_laptop> I'll quote you to all those that say otherwise ;)
[16:38] <uncola> I tried out using the wiimote with my imac, over bluetooth.. and set up the thing where you can move the mouse cursor by pointing it
[16:38] <uncola> and it was really crappy and the battery ran out quickly
[16:38] <uncola> so I was going back to the ms remote and ir receiver because it seemed like the battery never ran out
[16:39] <uncola> is the wiimote good under linux?
[16:39] <tgm4883_laptop> never used it
[16:41] <uncola> yah it sucks anyway.. just gonna use the ms remote
[16:42] <uncola> the layout of the buttons etc.. definitely not home theater oriented and game oriented instead
[16:42] <tgm4883_laptop> I, along with some of the other developers, have the mceusb2 remote, and we like it
[16:43] <gladideg_> http://evoo.no/test2.mpg don't know if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone notice the layer of artifacts on the film? Is it due to any settings, or is it the camera? ($300 sony camera, brand new)
[16:47] <uncola> whoah crazy
[16:48] <uncola> I have a 1039 version 2
[16:48] <uncola> except it's not exactly like the ones pictured
