[03:28] <Bantak> hi, i am trying to listen to my music on my PS3 via MythMusic. But all my Mp3s are listed as "unsupported data". i found a bugreport, which should be fixed about a year ago, but it doesn't work for me. does anyone know something about it?
[03:57] <Bantak> if anyone has an answer to my question or is intersted in, my mail is schoendorfer.m@gmail.com
[03:57] <Bantak> I am leaving now
[04:07] <sayjack> I would like to introduce the mythmote tonight.  http://www.mythmote.com  It's still being tested but will be available soon.
[04:09] <sayjack> if you are interested let us know.
[04:18] <toorima> anyone can recommend a good usb ir receiver? I have a hauppage 150 with remote today but are planing on removing the card, so need a new ir receiver, have a logitec harmony 880 as remote so only need receiver part
[04:18] <tgm4883_laptop> sayjack, you replaced lirc?
[04:19] <sayjack> not required for the mythmote.
[04:20] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting
[04:21] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm assuming you have a working unit that has been tested with mythtv?
[04:22] <sayjack> Yes it's working and I'm using it with mythbuntu.
[04:22] <tgm4883_laptop> what do you use instead of lirc?
[04:24] <sayjack> python program with xautomation
[04:24] <tgm4883_laptop> you say you will provide the documentation for it?
[04:25] <sayjack> yes, we will.
[04:26] <tgm4883_laptop> would it be possible for me to get that?
[04:26] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm curious about this remote
[04:27] <sayjack> We need to get it polished up so stay tuned we'll be getting it out soon.
[04:27] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[04:27] <tgm4883_laptop> any possibility of getting it by sunday?
[04:27] <tgm4883_laptop> i'd like to have it for the dev meeting
[04:34] <sayjack> We're not quite ready to release but we are getting closer.  How often do you meet?
[04:35] <tgm4883_laptop> well we are meeting this sunday to wrap up 8.10, and will meet again soon after release for the initial 9.04 meeting
[04:35] <tgm4883_laptop> then usually we will meet before each release starting around alpha 3-4
[04:38] <sayjack> Good luck with 8.10.  And check back to our site.  Pass it along too.
[04:38] <tgm4883_laptop> well if you would like to try and include this into the repos or onto the live disk let me know.
[04:38] <tgm4883_laptop> will do
[04:39] <sayjack> thanks.
[05:00] <rhpot1991> that remote seems interesting, they need to provide some images of it too
[05:10] <hads> It is trademark infringement though.
[05:14] <hads> I believe he's been told a number of times by Isaac to change the name
[06:03] <vbc> I have a question.. hopefully somebody can help
[06:04] <vbc> muthbuntu seems to freeze when it loads the gui portion of the OS on startup.. but normal ubuntu or kubuntu has no problems on my system
[06:04] <vbc> is there any issues with xfce desktop in this area?
[06:13] <vbc> ok.. well should I just switch to another myth distro?
[06:13] <vbc> looking for the easiest solution to get my kworld atsc 115 going
[06:13] <vbc> and totalmedia on win is trash
[06:15] <superm1> vbc, try recovery mode
[06:15] <superm1> and see if you have more luck booting
[06:15] <superm1> or at least be able to look at logs to see where the freeze is happening
[06:15] <superm1> and what's causing it
[06:16] <vbc> ok I'll try it right now
[06:16] <vbc> brb
[06:19] <vbc> how do I do recovery mode on the live cd?
[06:19] <vbc> I can't even install
[06:25] <vbc> well I gotta run, I'll keep trying it.. thx

[11:12] <oobe> does anyone have any other suggestions
[12:25] <Lunar_Lamp> I have just two tv-aerial points in my house.  Both of which are in rooms where I do not want a loud backend mythtv box running.  So, I can try and build a nice quiet combined back/front end box, but I'm left wondering - is it possible to build a very minimal machine that has just the tvcard and minimal spec (thus quiet) that then offloads it's work to a power-house backend over the network?
[12:27] <Lunar_Lamp> It would seem that I can use multiple backends happily, but I want to know if there are any minimum specs for the minimal-backend I want as it would be the only one with a TVcard.
[14:08] <giver> hello
[14:09] <giver> I'm trying to install mythbuntu,and installation finishes,but freeze at restart
[14:09] <giver> can anybody help?
[14:15] <ronny__> Hi all, I just installed Mythbuntu-8.04 on a offline system (no Internet, just TV) with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350. Everything looks fine but I just can not switch channels!!?? I googled a bit but all I tried failed here. Is there a way to find and fix the problem?
[14:19] <oobe> Lunar_Lamp, i would post this question in a forum cause there are many different answers that are in fact correct but also just a matter of opinion
[14:19] <oobe> i dont see any reason why you can do that depending on what you consider minimal
[14:20] <oobe> do you want to playback hdtv
[14:21] <oobe> will the network be wired or unwired? why dont you try installing a new aerial socket ( its actually cheaper and easier than building and maintaining a backend)
[14:21] <giver> anyone have any idea why this pc cant restart from mythbuntu install or from live cd?
[14:21] <oobe> giver you could try acpioff
[14:22] <giver> new in this,to tell the truth
[14:22] <giver> where can I read about acpioff
[14:22] <oobe> try running the cd boot options
[14:22] <oobe> and select noapic
[14:22] <oobe> forget i said acpioff that was a mistake
[14:22] <giver> noapic
[14:23] <oobe> also just try the basic install
[14:23] <giver> is some option in the splash screen?
[14:23] <oobe> before the splash screen
[14:23] <oobe> the are options to edit its boot paremeter
[14:24] <giver> it only show the pc slash screen,then boot into mythbuntu spash screen
[14:24] <giver> have some selections
[14:24] <giver> but don;t see anything related to noapic
[14:25] <oobe> you can type it in manually
[14:25] <giver> humm,trying to understand,there is no console to write into,
[14:25] <giver> onlt start with selecting language
[14:25] <giver> then timezone
[14:26] <giver> then spalsh screen with selections
[14:26] <giver> no prompt
[14:26] <giver> this is mythbuntu 8.041
[14:26] <giver> into an amd64 machine
[14:26] <oobe> giver this thread should help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591443
[14:27] <giver> ok,I'll read it
[14:29] <giver> ok,that's something to try
[14:29] <giver> while I don;t have a black screen
[14:29] <giver> I do have on board video
[14:30] <oobe> yeah sorry i though the thread was refering to booting the cd
[14:30] <oobe> but its talking about an installed system
[14:31] <oobe> anyway when you boot the cd it should let you press F6 key or F5 im going off memory
[14:31] <oobe> to edit the boot options
[14:31] <oobe> dont remove anything just add noapic to the end
[14:32] <giver> ok,still can't see the boot options
[14:32] <giver> let me get there
[14:33] <giver> I do see safe graphics mode,selected
[14:33] <giver> then went to other options (F6)
[14:33] <giver> then it booted the cd
[14:33] <giver> didn;t give me time to see boot options
[14:35] <giver> the main problem I see is that like now,I try to restart to go again to those options,but shut down and restart only freeze at the slapsh screen
[14:35] <giver> it never restart or shut down
[14:35] <giver> have to remove the power to start again
[14:35] <giver> which is actually the main problem I have
[14:36] <giver> I can install mythbuntu no problems,goes all the way to the end
[14:36] <giver> but won;t restart
[14:36] <giver> maybe this is disabled in bios?
[14:36] <giver> is there any setting in bios to stop the shutdown?
[14:55] <giver> ok,trying the noapic option
[14:55] <giver> is at 95% of the install
[14:55] <giver> I suspect the same thing will happen and won;t restart
[15:00] <oobe> i think it may be installing fine but you cant boot it properly until you edit you grub options
[15:01] <oobe> press the esc key when you boot it for the first time then edit your boot options
[15:01] <giver> well,the next time I start the live cd,I go to terminal and cfdisk show me no partitions,only the large hard drive
[15:01] <giver> like nothing was written to it
[15:01] <oobe> oh
[15:01] <giver> but
[15:01] <oobe> i dont know then
[15:02] <giver> if I don;t restart after the install,I can go to cfdisk and see the swap and boot parition
[15:02] <oobe> you can always install xubuntu the sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop
[15:02] <giver> this is without restart it
[15:02] <giver> I should check the bios,I guess,maybe something preventing the restart
[15:02] <giver> but is all chinise
[15:02] <giver> chinese
[15:03] <oobe> wow
[15:03] <giver> can't find a combo to get into bios
[15:03] <giver> has some kind of pass
[15:03] <giver> only went there once
[15:03] <oobe> you might want to restet the cmos using the jumper
[15:03] <giver> and all seemed norma;
[15:03] <giver> I should,yes

[16:28] <Zinn> Have you dugg it?  http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_8_10_RC_Released
[16:47] <videorechner> hi how can I check if there is a mysql database on my system?
[17:06] <videorechner> hi i had to reboot but still: how can I see whether a mysql database is up?
[17:06] <giver> humm,downloaded unbuntu and this one does restar,still,don;t boot from the hard drive,nothing was written,drive has no partitions
[17:07] <giver> installation went through ok
[17:08] <giver> but no OS is into the hard drive
[17:09] <giver> always ask for the cd to boot
[17:09] <videorechner> maybe its a grub related problem?
[17:09] <rhpot1991> videorechner: dpkg -l mysql-server |grep ^ii
[17:10] <videorechner> rhpot thx
[17:10] <rhpot1991> dpkg -l mythtv-database |grep ^ii
[17:10] <rhpot1991> is useful as well
[17:10] <giver> my question is,grub is not installed,in fact,nothing is written,how could I fix something that's not written?
[17:11] <giver> ok,now gives me the option to keep using live cd
[17:11] <rhpot1991> giver: do you have any other hard drives on the system or usb devices or anything?
[17:11] <giver> no
[17:11] <giver> only the sata hard drive
[17:11] <giver> a 60 gb seagate
[17:11] <rhpot1991> you actually went through the install process and not just into the live cd?
[17:12] <giver> well,I booted from the live dc
[17:12] <giver> cd
[17:12] <giver> then went through all the installation
[17:12] <rhpot1991> boot back to the live cd and check the HD to see if there are files on it
[17:12] <videorechner> http://pastebin.com/m413e673d does this mean there is database I can use for mythtv?
[17:12] <giver> went throguh without problems,ask me to restart to use the new installation,or keep in live cd
[17:13] <giver> that's what i said,the hard drive doesn't boot
[17:13] <rhpot1991> videorechner: well it means the packages are installed, in theory they may not have been able to configure if you didn't give it a good password when they asked for one
[17:13] <giver> like there was nothing written to it
[17:13] <rhpot1991> here is what we can do, go look in /etc/mysql.txt
[17:13] <rhpot1991> wait let me check that
[17:13] <giver> how to check the tree structure ?
[17:13] <giver> using terminal?
[17:13] <rhpot1991> /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[17:13]  * rhpot1991 thought it didn't look right
[17:13] <rhpot1991> get the password from there
[17:13] <giver> first time using ubuntu
[17:14] <rhpot1991> then do mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg
[17:14] <giver> sorry for all the newbie questions
[17:14] <rhpot1991> and supply that password when it asks
[17:14] <rhpot1991> giver: it should throw an icon for the drive on the desktop or in the places menu
[17:14] <rhpot1991> you should be able to just browse it there
[17:14] <giver> I did all that
[17:15] <giver> I can browse through the drive now
[17:15] <rhpot1991> is there anything on it?
[17:15] <giver> yes
[17:15] <giver> i'm in /boot.grob folder
[17:15] <giver> pff
[17:15] <giver> in /boot/grub
[17:16] <rhpot1991> there are other things though like an /etc /var /usr and so on?
[17:16] <giver> let me check
[17:16] <giver> yep,var,usr
[17:16] <giver> tmp
[17:17] <giver> seem is all there,but I'm afraid I will loose if I restart
[17:17] <videorechner> I did as tol, and this is what I get back:http://pastebin.com/m6ff0d358
[17:17] <giver> it seem to see the 6.3 gb partition made at installation
[17:18] <rhpot1991> videorechner: sounds like you didn't tell it the mysql root password when it asked, do you know what it is?
[17:18] <giver> the rest of the hard drive is not mounted
[17:18] <rhpot1991> giver: so what exactly happens when you restart?
[17:18] <giver> will I loos the OS again if I restart?
[17:19] <giver> nothing,pc comes back to original state
[17:19] <giver> that's what happen
[17:19] <rhpot1991> define original state
[17:19] <giver> well,hard drive not partitioned,no booting from hdd
[17:19] <videorechner> rhpot1991 I know all passwords on this pc, but it never asked for a root password except when I used sudo
[17:19] <giver> only asking to boot from cd
[17:19] <rhpot1991> videorechner: well lets do this then
[17:20] <rhpot1991> videorechner: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[17:20] <giver> and then,when I do,cfdisk finds the hard drive empty
[17:20] <rhpot1991> and set a password when it asks you
[17:20] <videorechner> it didnt ask for a password
[17:20] <videorechner> all I get is an empty command line
[17:21] <giver> I wonder why the hard drive doesn't keep the OS? I wouldn;t think I need the cd after the installation,right?
[17:21] <giver> is not needed,correct?
[17:22] <rhpot1991> giver: sounds like grub isn't pointing to the right place
[17:22] <giver> how to correct that
[17:22] <rhpot1991> do you even get any grub error or anything?
[17:22] <giver> nope
[17:22] <rhpot1991> did you take the cd out?
[17:22] <giver> no
[17:22] <giver> is working off the cd yet
[17:22] <giver> I didn;t restart since installation finished
[17:23] <giver> last time I restarted,the pc went back to an empty drive,and asks to boot from cd
[17:23] <giver> I did check bios
[17:24] <giver> and is set to boot from hdd as first option
[17:24] <rhpot1991> take the cd out and reboot
[17:24] <rhpot1991> like it says
[17:24] <giver> ok
[17:24] <rhpot1991> videorechner: can you do mysql -uroot -p
[17:25] <videorechner> asks for the password but denies for user root
[17:25] <tgm4883_laptop> what about just "mysql -u root"
[17:25] <giver> nope,keeps asking to boot from cd
[17:25] <rhpot1991> videorechner: leave the -p off and try
[17:25] <giver> all is lost again
[17:26] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, how many hard drives do you have?
[17:26] <rhpot1991> giver: is your bios configured to boot from HD?
[17:26] <giver> only one
[17:26] <giver> yes
[17:26] <videorechner> access denied
[17:26] <giver> bios is set to boot from hddd
[17:26] <rhpot1991> videorechner: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0
[17:27] <giver> one think I noticed,at the end in the summary ,there is an advance option setting boot to hd0
[17:27] <giver> I tried setting it to sda1
[17:27] <giver> but same thing
[17:27] <videorechner> ok mysql got a new root password by now
[17:27] <giver> not sure is important
[17:28] <videorechner> what shall I do next?
[17:28] <giver> it is puzzling me,because nor ubuntu nor muthbuntu installs at all
[17:28] <rhpot1991> ok good, now do sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[17:28] <rhpot1991> and tell it root and that password when it asks
[17:28] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, which disk are you using?
[17:28] <giver> seagate 60 gb
[17:29] <giver> laptor ones
[17:29] <tgm4883_laptop> no, which mythbuntu disk
[17:29] <giver> laptop
[17:29] <giver> ohh
[17:29] <giver> latest stable
[17:29] <giver> 8.041
[17:29] <giver> same for ubuntu
[17:29] <videorechner> it asks where I the mysql server is hosted
[17:29] <videorechner> shall I keep localhost?
[17:30] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[17:31] <rhpot1991> videorechner: yep
[17:31] <giver> I have seen some network manager error at the end,but they go away so fast,I can't read them well
[17:31] <giver> does the network need to be connected?
[17:31] <videorechner> I wont be using other computers running mythtv but should I enable remote connectivity to avoid probable errors?
[17:32] <rhpot1991> videorechner: not if you wont be using others, you can always enable this in MCC later
[17:32] <videorechner> ok done, whats next?
[17:32] <rhpot1991> should be good now
[17:33] <rhpot1991> try to connect
[17:33] <videorechner> how?
[17:33] <videorechner> just start mythtv frontend
[17:33] <videorechner> ?
[17:33] <rhpot1991> do the backend setup first, they both need the info
[17:34] <giver> the cd has an option to boot from fisrt hdd,and it doesn't boot
[17:34] <videorechner> shall I use root as username and its password?
[17:34] <giver> I tried the install directly from the cd,and also from inside live cd
[17:34] <rhpot1991> videorechner: use mythtv and the password in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[17:35] <giver> none of them write anything to the hard drive
[17:35] <videorechner> cannot login to database
[17:36] <rhpot1991> have you checked that file, it should have updated the password
[17:36] <rhpot1991> so it wont be the same as the last time
[17:36] <giver> maybe I have to change the hard drive?
[17:36] <videorechner> definately my fault I changed the password by myself
[17:37] <videorechner> /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt
[17:38] <giver> not sure what to do
[17:38] <giver> never found a hard drive that don't write
[17:39] <videorechner> so I need to do dpkg -reconfigure mythtv-database again and then have a look at /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and use this password for the backend setup?
[17:39] <rhpot1991> videorechner: did you modify mysql.txt you are saying?
[17:39] <videorechner> yes i did
[17:39] <rhpot1991> that stores the mythtv user's password not the mysql root's
[17:40] <videorechner> at the backend setup i tried to login as mythtv using the password i had written into mysql.txt but it didnt work
[17:41] <giver> this must be a bad drive,I will see if I can get a new one
[17:41] <rhpot1991> videorechner: well you can either modify the mysql user's password to match or just reconfigure mythtv-database again, tell it your root user like you did before but this time don't touch that file
[17:41] <rhpot1991> then tell the setup exactly what is in that file
[17:41] <videorechner> kk
[17:41] <giver> tell me,how to check the hard drive in ubuntu?
[17:41] <rhpot1991> ya cause setting it in that file doesn't change it in the database, so they don't match now
[17:41] <rhpot1991> videorechner: I gotta run, good luck
[17:42] <videorechner> thx
[17:43] <giver> can I check dish in ubuntu?
[17:43] <giver> disk
[17:45] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, you can mount the disk and see if there is stuff on there, from the live disk
[17:45] <giver> does it make a difference if this drive is an oem unit? do they lock it up to be used only in their units?
[17:46] <tgm4883_laptop> doesn't matter
[17:46] <giver> it shouldn;t matter,right?
[17:46] <giver> ok,let me boot again
[17:46] <tgm4883_laptop> right, shouldn't  matter
[17:46] <giver> I can mount it from terminal,right?
[17:47] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[17:47] <giver> ok,give me asec until it boots
[17:47] <videorechner> grml I had to reboot and forgot the command rhpot1991 told me to reconfigure mysql can someone please post it again?
[17:48] <giver> dpkg -reconfigure mythtv-database
 videorechner: well you can either modify the mysql user's password to match or just reconfigure mythtv-database again, tell it your root user like you did before but this time don't touch that file
[17:48] <giver> is this the one?
[17:49] <videorechner> yes thanks!!
[17:49] <giver> ok,I'm in terinal now
[17:49] <giver> terminal
[17:49] <giver> how to mount the drive?
[17:50] <giver> sorry,if you guys think I should read more,I will
[17:50] <tgm4883_laptop> you need to make a dir for it first
[17:50] <tgm4883_laptop> mkdir ~/drv
[17:50] <tgm4883_laptop> then
[17:51] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/drv
[17:51] <tgm4883_laptop> that might work
[17:51] <giver> ok
[17:51] <tgm4883_laptop> not sure if we need to specify other options
[17:51] <videorechner> this command should have changed the password at /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt right?
[17:52] <tgm4883_laptop> videorechner, no, that should have changed it for the db
[17:52] <giver> humm,must specify file system type
[17:53] <tgm4883_laptop> I believe you also need to reconfigure mythtv-common
[17:53] <videorechner> i do the same with common
[17:53] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 ~/drv
[17:53] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, ^
[17:54] <giver> where is /drv folder located now? in tmp?
[17:54] <tgm4883_laptop> no, in your home dir
[17:55] <videorechner> does /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt store the informations used to access the database or is it a database config file telling the database which password is used by which user?
[17:56] <giver> dev/sda1 doesn;t exist
[17:56] <giver> tried sda and says wronf fs type
[17:56] <giver> bad superblock on /dev/sda
[17:57] <giver> missing codepacge or helper program
[17:57] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[17:57] <giver> or other error
[17:57] <giver> detects 60 gb
[17:58] <giver> disk id is all 000
[17:58] <videorechner> ah ok seems like it stores the information mythtv uses to access the mysql database so all I need to do is add a user called mythtv with a password to the mysql database. how can I do this? all commands I used till now only changed the root password
[17:58] <giver> nothing for device boot
[17:58] <giver> no start or end
[17:58] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, pastebin it
[17:58] <giver> ok
[17:58] <giver> is pastebin.com?
[17:58] <tgm4883_laptop> videorechner, there should already be a mythtv user
[17:59] <tgm4883_laptop> !pastebin | giver
[17:59] <Zinn> giver: 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.
[17:59] <giver> ok
[17:59] <videorechner> how can I change the password of the mythtv user?
[18:00] <tgm4883_laptop> in the db or on the system?
[18:00] <videorechner> in the db
[18:00] <videorechner> dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database -user mythtv?
[18:01] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[18:01] <tgm4883_laptop> IIRC, dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[18:01] <videorechner> IIRC?
[18:02] <tgm4883_laptop> if i recall correctly
[18:02] <tgm4883_laptop> yes it is
[18:02] <tgm4883_laptop> and you reconfigure mythtv-common to update mysql.txt
[18:02] <videorechner> i used this command and all I could change was the administrator account and its password (I stayed with root)
[18:03] <tgm4883_laptop> you reconfigured mythtv-database or mysql-server?
[18:03] <videorechner> mythtv-database
[18:04] <giver> mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d724d1302
[18:05] <giver> this is the original state of the drive
[18:05] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, interesting, go though the installation but don't reboot when it's done
[18:06] <giver> yes
[18:06] <giver> is very strange
[18:06] <giver> it does partition,load files and all,while the cd is running
[18:06] <giver> then,at restart and pull out the cd,all comes back to no OS
[18:07] <giver> maybe the hard drive is bad?
[18:07] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, I want to check the partition after install, and possibly some log files
[18:07] <giver> it ok,just tell me what to do
[18:07] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, just go though a normal installation but don't reboot at the end
[18:07] <giver> yes,ok,I did that before
[18:07] <giver> give me some minutes
[18:07] <giver> what file you need?
[18:07] <giver> syslog?
[18:08] <giver> also,I'm sure all I did was to use default installation
[18:09] <giver> changed couple things,at times,but never changed the outcome
[18:10] <giver> let me ask you,whe it list the settings,I can see an advance icon
[18:10] <giver> going there
[18:10] <giver> shows me
[18:10] <giver> install bootloader in hd0
[18:10] <giver> is that normal?
[18:11] <giver> shouldn;t it be in sda?
[18:11] <tgm4883_laptop> no that sounds about right
[18:11] <tgm4883_laptop> if not, it's the least of our problems right now
[18:11] <giver> okI leave it then
[18:11] <giver> ok
[18:11] <giver> installing now
[18:11] <giver> will take some minutes
[18:12] <giver> what logs you need?
[18:12] <giver> and from where?
[18:14] <videorechner> ok I tried to login to the database as root and it worked out, but I actually dont like to use root rights all the time and I forgot the password given to the mythtv database account, how can I change its password within the database?
I know there are some networks errors at the end,but disapear so fast from screent to know what those are
[18:15] <giver> where is the logs? in /tmp?
[18:16] <tgm4883_laptop> SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('passwordhere');
[18:16] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, /var/log
[18:17] <giver> ok
[18:19] <videorechner> bash: SET: command not found
[18:20] <tgm4883_laptop> videorechner, you have to log into mysql first
[18:20] <videorechner> how can I do this? simply:  mysql?
[18:22] <tgm4883_laptop> mysql -u root -p
[18:23] <videorechner> thx
[18:23] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, probably need syslog and ubiquity logs
[18:23] <giver> ok,finished
[18:23] <giver> going into computer now
[18:24] <giver> syslog has 0 bytes
[18:24] <giver> no ubiw=quity logs
[18:25] <giver> ok,found isnatller/syslog
[18:25] <giver> installer
[18:26] <giver> humm,can;t even open those files,no permissions
[18:26] <giver> want me to try to upload the file somewhere?
[18:26] <giver> let me see
[18:26] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo them
[18:27] <giver> but I'm not in terminal
[18:27] <giver> let me try to upload it
[18:31] <giver> can't upload it either
[18:32] <tgm4883_laptop> open a terminal and sudo it then
[18:32] <tgm4883_laptop> that will give you permissions
[18:33] <giver> ok
[18:33] <giver> sudo is the same as chmod,right?
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo runs the command as root
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> so like
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo gedit syslog
[18:34] <giver> Ohh I see
[18:34] <giver> got you
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> well gedit isn't installed
[18:34] <tgm4883_laptop> so sudo mousepad syslog
[18:35] <giver> is that the cmd I should use?
[18:35] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[18:36] <giver> mousepad not found
[18:36] <tgm4883_laptop> interesting

[18:37] <tgm4883_laptop> which one?
[18:37] <giver> amd64
[18:37] <tgm4883_laptop> thats not a text editor
[18:37] <giver> ohh,you aksed about the text editor
[18:38] <giver> says only text editor
[18:38] <tgm4883_laptop> try gedit
[18:39] <giver> nope,it opens but is blank
[18:40] <giver> is all screwed up,right?
[18:40] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo gedit syslog
[18:40] <giver> I did
[18:40] <giver> sudo gedit /var/log/installer/syslog
[18:41] <giver> which is where the file is
[18:41] <giver> opens blank
[18:41] <giver> is a binary file?
[18:41] <tgm4883_laptop> no
[18:41] <tgm4883_laptop> what other files do you have in there
[18:42] <giver> casper.log,partman,syslog,version
[18:42] <tgm4883_laptop> partman
[18:42] <tgm4883_laptop> get that log
[18:43] <giver> blank also
[18:43] <giver> gedit don't seem to read it
[18:43] <giver> because those files are not empty
[18:44] <tgm4883_laptop> try nano
[18:44] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo nno
[18:44] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo nano
[18:44] <giver> version says ubiquity 1.8.12
[18:45] <giver> ok
[18:45] <giver> hummm,it opens gedit file
[18:46] <giver> not the program
[18:46] <giver> ok
[18:46] <tgm4883_laptop> can you email me those two files?
[18:46] <giver> worng cmd'
[18:46] <giver> wait
[18:46] <tgm4883_laptop> ok
[18:47] <giver> nano won;t open it,only opens nano
[18:48] <giver> ok,I tried to grab the files from there,but I can;t move them
[18:48] <tgm4883_laptop> copy them
[18:48] <giver> can;t copy,to where?
[18:49] <tgm4883_laptop> to the desktop
[18:49] <giver> would be great I could grab them from the network
[18:49] <giver> how to set this pc into the network?
[18:49] <giver> not sure where sharing is done in ubuntu
[18:50] <giver> have no permission to move or copy
[18:50] <giver> probably why it doesn;t open in editor
[18:50] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, how about thihs
[18:51] <tgm4883_laptop> where is the file located?
[18:51] <giver> in /var/log/installer
[18:51] <giver> is frustrating
[18:51] <giver> all this
[18:51] <tgm4883_laptop> ok do this
[18:51] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo chmod -r 777 /var/log/installer/
[18:51] <giver> ok
[18:52] <tgm4883_laptop> then you should be able to do whatever you wnt with the files
[18:52] <giver> should be chmod 777  ?
[18:53] <giver> it sees 777 as the destination directory
[18:53] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo chmod 777 -r /var/log/installer/
[18:54] <giver> ok
[18:55] <tgm4883_laptop> did that work?
[18:55] <giver> nope
[18:55] <tgm4883_laptop> sec
[18:56] <tgm4883_laptop> ah ok
[18:56] <tgm4883_laptop> sudo chmod -R 777 /var/log/installer/
[18:56] <tgm4883_laptop> capital R
[18:56] <giver> 777 -R ?
[18:57] <giver> or the -R first? doesn;t seem to work with -R first
[18:57] <tgm4883_laptop> the -R first
[18:57] <giver> humm
[18:57] <tgm4883_laptop> the command I just gave you
[18:57] <tgm4883_laptop> what does it say?

[18:59] <giver> cannot access
[18:59] <videorechner> hi does one of you know how to add german weather stations as sources to the weather plugin?
[18:59] <giver> wait
[19:01] <tgm4883_laptop> videorechner, <laga> there is no grabber script for germany. i think some scripts have some german cities
[19:01] <videorechner> oh
[19:02] <giver> mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d44112a8d
[19:02] <tgm4883_laptop> giver, where is syslog?
[19:02] <tgm4883_laptop> it's not in there?
[19:03] <giver> well,it is there in the folder
[19:03] <giver> but not in the list
[19:03] <tgm4883_laptop> in /var/log or /var/log/installer
[19:03] <giver> debug is definitely not in the folder
[19:03] <giver> var/log/installer
[19:04] <giver> unless is casper.log
[19:04] <tgm4883_laptop> will the command worked, you should have permissions now
[19:04] <giver> I know
[19:04] <giver> but I still cna;t copy or open it,or move
[19:04] <giver> can'
[19:04] <giver> t
[19:05] <tgm4883_laptop> pastebin this again sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

[19:07] <giver> also the disk id is there
[19:07] <giver> now,when I restart,none of that is there anymore
[19:07] <tgm4883_laptop> have you looked at that before?
[19:07] <giver> yes
[19:08] <giver> I saw the partitions there all the time if I don;t restart
[19:08] <giver> basically,it seem the disk has data
[19:09] <giver> all seem ok,but a restart of the pc erase all of it
[19:09] <tgm4883_laptop> which doens't make sense
[19:09] <giver> right
