| captmo | anyone here ever use the ati tv wonder ve? I got it working but it will only scan 14/98 channels. | 16:30 |
| captmo | !help | 16:30 |
| Zinn | Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi | 16:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | captmo, is that 14 and 98, or 14 of 98 | 16:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I don't know jack about your card, but if it's only scanning 14 of 98 channels, you probably have it set to us-bcast instead of us-cable in mythtv setup | 16:44 |
| captmo | 14 out of 98 | 16:45 |
| captmo | i will try that also | 16:46 |
| captmo | other than the channel issue it is working great | 16:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea try that, the symptoms of your problem are textbook us-bcast setting | 16:48 |
| captmo | is the us-bcast for over the air programming? | 16:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yep | 16:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | bcast = broadcast | 16:52 |
| captmo | makes sense | 16:52 |
| captmo | now i just need a better card that is not fuzzy | 16:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yep, the hauppauge cards are nice | 16:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC, the hvr-1800 works oob in 8.10 | 16:55 |
| captmo | what would i have to do to make my normal ubuntu run myth? so that i am not dual booting? | 16:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | easiest way is to install mythbuntu-control-centre | 16:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then configure from there | 16:58 |
| captmo | so install mythbuntu and turn that into my regular desktop? | 17:01 |
| captmo | instead of install ubuntu and install myth after? | 17:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 17:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you could | 17:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or just install mythbuntu-control-centre from ubuntu | 17:02 |
| captmo | will that run the backend too? | 17:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | captmo, yes, sec | 17:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | captmo, you can add mythbuntu to a ubuntu system, or ubuntu to a mythbuntu system | 17:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which is already setup? | 17:10 |
| captmo | well both now | 17:11 |
| captmo | so im getting control-centre for my ubuntu build | 17:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 17:12 |
| captmo | it will make it a lot easier so i dont have to reboot to watch tv | 17:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | captmo, yep | 17:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'd recommend installing the backend part from MCC, but for the frontend installing it via synaptic | 17:14 |
| captmo | i just did the control-centre from synaptic and it did the entire thing | 17:16 |
| captmo | should i change that | 17:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no thats fine, you installed the control ceentre, but that only allows you to configure the parts so it only will install what you need | 17:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you haven't installed the mythtv parts yet | 17:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | take a look at this screenshot | 17:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | http://www.mythbuntu.org/node/148 | 17:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | this is MCC and this is where you will tell it what type of system you want so it can install and configure the mythtv parts | 17:20 |
| captmo | ok i know that mythbuntu | 17:24 |
| captmo | so do i just enable the frontend and backend in cc? | 17:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can, but like I said, I wouldn't enable the frontend part in CC | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the reason is because it will install the themes, XFCE and such IIRC | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so I'd just install the backend then install mythtv-frontend from synaptic | 17:25 |
| captmo | oh ok that makes sensse | 17:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea if you wanted to convert the whole thing to a frontend only, then you use mcc to install the frontend, but sincce you want to use it as a desktop too i'd use synaptic | 17:28 |
| captmo | ok | 17:29 |
| captmo | and it configures the same? | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the frontend doesn't need much configuring. You might have to tell it the ip of the backend, but I doubt it | 17:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | most configuring is done for the backend | 17:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which should be done for you | 17:30 |
| captmo | is there any way to transfer my settings from my mythbuntu build? | 17:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea you need to backup your db and then restore it here | 17:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | are you familiar with how to do that? | 17:35 |
| captmo | no not really i have used mysql for websites before but i have not run my own server | 17:39 |
| captmo | google has become my best friend | 17:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest76 | does anyone know of a website with specs (what hardware was used) for systems that are known to run mythbuntu | 17:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | captmo, i'd use phpmyadmin if I were you, it seems easier to use for me anyway. Either someone else will have to run you through the steps or i'll have to do it later, I have to run | 17:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or google is your friend ;) | 17:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest76, the only one I know of is not Mythbuntu related and is out of date. I do know of some vendors you can purchase preinstalled mythbuntu on though | 17:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !merch% | 17:45 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about merch% | 17:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | http://www.mythbuntu.org/merchandise | 17:45 |
| captmo | tgm4883_laptop: thanks a ton for the help... If i have any troubles I will post here later | 18:11 |
| gpd | my .dmrc file is ok - now lost as to how to fix. | 19:35 |
| gpd | I lost my /home drive. I setup using mythbuntu-control-panel - to auto login and stat mythbuntu session - but it just comes up with a standard XFCE desktop and doesn't run mythfrontend. | 19:35 |
| Marcus-R | Setting up IR. PVR-150 or USB-UIRT. Experiences? | 20:26 |
| CRXLPY | I need a link to a good doc to help me with migrating my dvr to new hdwr | 22:39 |
| CRXLPY | I am swapping the mobo and cpu, the rest is staying the same | 22:40 |
| CRXLPY | does the doc here backup the names of the recordings? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Backup_your_database | 22:52 |
| CRXLPY | I dont care about hardware setup info. I have alot of recordings that are named in the gibberish that mythtv names them and I dont want to be forced to spend days renaming them by hand after I change my mobo and reinstall | 22:54 |
| mighty-d | Hi | 22:54 |
| CRXLPY | hi | 22:55 |
| mighty-d | do you know if the wintv hvr 1950 card works on mythbuntu? | 22:55 |
| CRXLPY | I know of no wintv cards that DONT work. but I know nothing about that card | 22:56 |
| mighty-d | CRXLPY, which kernel runs the current stable mythbuntu? | 22:57 |
| CRXLPY | mine is running 2.6.24-21 | 22:57 |
| mighty-d | is this the latest? | 22:57 |
| CRXLPY | as far as I know..... I keep it updated | 22:58 |
| mighty-d | ok, thanks | 22:59 |
| CRXLPY | not the latest kernel. but the latest kernel packaged for mythbuntu | 22:59 |
| mighty-d | thanks a lot CRXLPY | 22:59 |
| CRXLPY | yw | 22:59 |
| mighty-d | going to battle this now... cya | 22:59 |
| CRXLPY | maybe that karma will pay off and I will get help ;^) | 23:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your wish is granted | 23:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, i've never seen that script before | 23:02 |
| CRXLPY | hi tgm4883_laptop how r u? | 23:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you could try it, but i'm not sure what would happen | 23:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in theory, it should work | 23:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what exactly do you want to migrate? Just recordings? | 23:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'm good | 23:02 |
| CRXLPY | well how would you backup your stuff b4 swapping the mobo? | 23:02 |
| CRXLPY | I am upgrading the cpu+mobo | 23:03 |
| CRXLPY | the rest is staying the same | 23:03 |
| CRXLPY | so new chipset and all will make me need to do a new install (right?) | 23:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not necessarly | 23:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | are you switching vid cards from ati/nvidia/intel to a different one? | 23:04 |
| CRXLPY | moving from athXP to ath64 | 23:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ie, ati to nvidia | 23:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | do you want to install the 64-bit version? | 23:04 |
| CRXLPY | no, only the mobo+cp will change. same hdd, vid | 23:05 |
| CRXLPY | maybe change the soundcard | 23:05 |
| CRXLPY | the driver for the one in it has been flakey | 23:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well if you stay the same architecture, then you could just try switching out the boards | 23:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'd backup though first just in case | 23:06 |
| CRXLPY | but I play my recordings on remote frontends and the sound is fine there so the sound card isnt a big issue | 23:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I'd probably backup the entire db and all my recordings to a separate drive | 23:07 |
| CRXLPY | I have a bunch of recordings and I dont want to loose the info on them | 23:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | exactly | 23:07 |
| CRXLPY | I record to a separate drive | 23:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sweet | 23:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then i'd just backup the db then | 23:07 |
| CRXLPY | well some of my rec are on the system drive | 23:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | do you have room to move them? | 23:08 |
| CRXLPY | oh yeah | 23:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I believe you can just move them onto your other drive and they should be fine | 23:08 |
| CRXLPY | and the db will still know what the rec is? it isnt drive dependent? | 23:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I don't believe so. IIRC, it is just dependent on the file name, so as long as you have that drive in a storage directory then it should be able to find it | 23:10 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i don't belive so was directed toward the second part | 23:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the drive dependent question | 23:11 |
| CRXLPY | ok | 23:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | worst case, we move them back right? | 23:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you could probably test this right now by just moving one | 23:11 |
| CRXLPY | yeh that make sense , I will try | 23:12 |
| CRXLPY | gonna shut down the backend first (not the sys, just mythtv) | 23:12 |
| CRXLPY | ummmm how do I tell the backend to shutdown w/o telling it to shutdown the computer? I never needed to do that b4 | 23:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop | 23:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I forget which one it is | 23:16 |
| CRXLPY | no dash ok | 23:16 |
| CRXLPY | oops with hyphen | 23:17 |
| CRXLPY | there is a flaw in this test...... I have so many recordings I wont know if it gets lost or not. I have no way to know which file I am moving | 23:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec | 23:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | do you have a desktop on your backend? | 23:21 |
| CRXLPY | yes | 23:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | would you recognize which show it was if you watched it? | 23:22 |
| CRXLPY | I can find one ,sure | 23:22 |
| CRXLPY | hmmm, I may be better off than I thought | 23:25 |
| CRXLPY | I dont record to the system drive at all | 23:26 |
| CRXLPY | I realized the dirs I have are on other drives once I started tracking one down to move | 23:27 |
| CRXLPY | now about backing up the db | 23:27 |
| CRXLPY | I am noticing that there is a "create DB backups group" option in the setup. Is that part of making backup of the recordings db tgm4883_laptop? | 23:29 |
| CRXLPY | I never set it | 23:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I don't know | 23:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I'd just make a backup of the whole db using phpmyadmin | 23:30 |
| CRXLPY | ok I have never used that. is it a pkg I need to get? | 23:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I would, it allows you to manage your mysql db via a web interface | 23:34 |
| CRXLPY | ok | 23:34 |
| hads | Or use mysqldump | 23:36 |
| CRXLPY | I screwed up. I picked the wrong apache now it wont finish installing | 23:38 |
| CRXLPY | removing and starting over | 23:39 |
| hads | mysqldump --all-databases > mysql_back.sql | 23:40 |
| hads | Or if you just want the mythtv database `mysqldump mythconverg > mythtv_backip.sql` | 23:40 |
| CRXLPY | mmm thx | 23:40 |
| CRXLPY | I was in the process of bringing up phpmyadmin hads. so since I have it in front of me now.... I cant log in. what user/passwd is it wanting? | 23:45 |
| CRXLPY | tgm4883_laptop ? | 23:48 |
| hads | CRXLPY: No idea | 23:49 |
| CRXLPY | hads can mysqldump backup only the rec info (w/o setup info) | 23:50 |
| hads | mysqldump will dump your database. If you want to remove parts of it you'll have to edit the dump. | 23:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sorry, had to take the dogs out | 23:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | err | 23:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | root | 23:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | root I think | 23:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mysqldump should be able to do table only, but I don't know the commands for that | 23:53 |
| CRXLPY | back | 23:57 |
| CRXLPY | I cant login as root | 23:57 |
| CRXLPY | access denied | 23:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, do you have a root password on your mysql? | 23:59 |
| CRXLPY | I dont remember setting one | 23:59 |
