[01:33] im trying to set up my remote its a pinnacle pctv (old SD capture card) with a serial adaptor for the remote. I cant seem to get it to work though. any one know how to trouble shoot this kind of thing? [02:12] <||ChAoS||> I am stumped, and I have been out on the ubutu channel trying to get help because this didnt seem like the right place. I have mythbuntu installed.. and I cant get my sound card working.. makes recording from my tvcard kinda hard... anyone have time to talk though this and offer up some suggestions?. [02:16] oobe, heya [02:20] <||ChAoS||> anyone around that can help with my audio problem? [05:38] Hi folks, I am trying to install a 0.20 frontend on my machine, but can't figure out how to install that older version [05:49] how do mythbuntu and linuxmce compare? [06:07] how does mythbuntu compare with elisa? === ihaaaaaa is now known as ukkopekka === wjs_ltop_ is now known as wjs_ltop [16:30] anyone here ever use the ati tv wonder ve? I got it working but it will only scan 14/98 channels. [16:30] !help [16:30] 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 [16:43] captmo, is that 14 and 98, or 14 of 98 [16:44] 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 [16:45] 14 out of 98 [16:46] i will try that also [16:47] other than the channel issue it is working great [16:48] yea try that, the symptoms of your problem are textbook us-bcast setting [16:50] is the us-bcast for over the air programming? [16:52] yep [16:52] bcast = broadcast [16:52] makes sense [16:53] now i just need a better card that is not fuzzy [16:54] yep, the hauppauge cards are nice [16:55] IIRC, the hvr-1800 works oob in 8.10 [16:57] what would i have to do to make my normal ubuntu run myth? so that i am not dual booting? [16:58] easiest way is to install mythbuntu-control-centre [16:58] then configure from there [17:01] so install mythbuntu and turn that into my regular desktop? [17:01] instead of install ubuntu and install myth after? [17:02] no [17:02] you could [17:02] or just install mythbuntu-control-centre from ubuntu [17:04] will that run the backend too? [17:10] captmo, yes, sec [17:10] captmo, you can add mythbuntu to a ubuntu system, or ubuntu to a mythbuntu system [17:10] which is already setup? [17:11] well both now [17:12] so im getting control-centre for my ubuntu build [17:12] ok [17:13] it will make it a lot easier so i dont have to reboot to watch tv [17:14] captmo, yep [17:14] i'd recommend installing the backend part from MCC, but for the frontend installing it via synaptic [17:16] i just did the control-centre from synaptic and it did the entire thing [17:16] should i change that [17:19] 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] you haven't installed the mythtv parts yet [17:20] take a look at this screenshot [17:20] http://www.mythbuntu.org/node/148 [17:20] 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 [17:24] ok i know that mythbuntu [17:24] so do i just enable the frontend and backend in cc? [17:25] you can, but like I said, I wouldn't enable the frontend part in CC [17:25] the reason is because it will install the themes, XFCE and such IIRC [17:25] so I'd just install the backend then install mythtv-frontend from synaptic [17:27] oh ok that makes sensse [17:28] 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 [17:29] ok [17:29] and it configures the same? [17:30] the frontend doesn't need much configuring. You might have to tell it the ip of the backend, but I doubt it [17:30] most configuring is done for the backend [17:30] which should be done for you [17:33] is there any way to transfer my settings from my mythbuntu build? [17:34] yea you need to backup your db and then restore it here [17:35] are you familiar with how to do that? [17:39] no not really i have used mysql for websites before but i have not run my own server [17:39] google has become my best friend [17:40] does anyone know of a website with specs (what hardware was used) for systems that are known to run mythbuntu [17:43] 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] or google is your friend ;) [17:44] 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 [17:45] !merch% [17:45] Sorry I don't know about merch% [17:45] http://www.mythbuntu.org/merchandise [18:11] tgm4883_laptop: thanks a ton for the help... If i have any troubles I will post here later [19:35] my .dmrc file is ok - now lost as to how to fix. [19:35] 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. [20:26] Setting up IR. PVR-150 or USB-UIRT. Experiences? [22:39] I need a link to a good doc to help me with migrating my dvr to new hdwr [22:40] I am swapping the mobo and cpu, the rest is staying the same [22:52] does the doc here backup the names of the recordings? http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Backup_your_database [22:54] 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] Hi [22:55] hi [22:55] do you know if the wintv hvr 1950 card works on mythbuntu? [22:56] I know of no wintv cards that DONT work. but I know nothing about that card [22:57] CRXLPY, which kernel runs the current stable mythbuntu? [22:57] mine is running 2.6.24-21 [22:57] is this the latest? [22:58] as far as I know..... I keep it updated [22:59] ok, thanks [22:59] not the latest kernel. but the latest kernel packaged for mythbuntu [22:59] thanks a lot CRXLPY [22:59] yw [22:59] going to battle this now... cya [23:00] maybe that karma will pay off and I will get help ;^) [23:01] your wish is granted [23:02] CRXLPY, i've never seen that script before [23:02] hi tgm4883_laptop how r u? [23:02] you could try it, but i'm not sure what would happen [23:02] in theory, it should work [23:02] what exactly do you want to migrate? Just recordings? [23:02] i'm good [23:02] well how would you backup your stuff b4 swapping the mobo? [23:03] I am upgrading the cpu+mobo [23:03] the rest is staying the same [23:03] so new chipset and all will make me need to do a new install (right?) [23:04] not necessarly [23:04] are you switching vid cards from ati/nvidia/intel to a different one? [23:04] moving from athXP to ath64 [23:04] ie, ati to nvidia [23:04] do you want to install the 64-bit version? [23:05] no, only the mobo+cp will change. same hdd, vid [23:05] maybe change the soundcard [23:05] the driver for the one in it has been flakey [23:06] well if you stay the same architecture, then you could just try switching out the boards [23:06] i'd backup though first just in case [23:06] but I play my recordings on remote frontends and the sound is fine there so the sound card isnt a big issue [23:07] I'd probably backup the entire db and all my recordings to a separate drive [23:07] I have a bunch of recordings and I dont want to loose the info on them [23:07] exactly [23:07] I record to a separate drive [23:07] sweet [23:07] then i'd just backup the db then [23:07] well some of my rec are on the system drive [23:08] do you have room to move them? [23:08] oh yeah [23:08] I believe you can just move them onto your other drive and they should be fine [23:09] and the db will still know what the rec is? it isnt drive dependent? [23:10] 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 [23:11] i don't belive so was directed toward the second part [23:11] the drive dependent question [23:11] ok [23:11] worst case, we move them back right? [23:11] you could probably test this right now by just moving one [23:12] yeh that make sense , I will try [23:12] gonna shut down the backend first (not the sys, just mythtv) [23:14] ummmm how do I tell the backend to shutdown w/o telling it to shutdown the computer? I never needed to do that b4 [23:16] sudo /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop [23:16] or [23:16] sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop [23:16] I forget which one it is [23:16] no dash ok [23:17] oops with hyphen [23:19] 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 [23:20] hmm [23:20] sec [23:21] do you have a desktop on your backend? [23:21] yes [23:22] would you recognize which show it was if you watched it? [23:22] I can find one ,sure [23:25] hmmm, I may be better off than I thought [23:26] I dont record to the system drive at all [23:27] I realized the dirs I have are on other drives once I started tracking one down to move [23:27] now about backing up the db [23:29] 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] I never set it [23:29] I don't know [23:30] I'd just make a backup of the whole db using phpmyadmin [23:31] ok I have never used that. is it a pkg I need to get? [23:34] I would, it allows you to manage your mysql db via a web interface [23:34] ok [23:36] Or use mysqldump [23:38] I screwed up. I picked the wrong apache now it wont finish installing [23:39] removing and starting over [23:40] mysqldump --all-databases > mysql_back.sql [23:40] Or if you just want the mythtv database `mysqldump mythconverg > mythtv_backip.sql` [23:40] mmm thx [23:45] 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? [23:48] tgm4883_laptop ? [23:49] CRXLPY: No idea [23:50] hads can mysqldump backup only the rec info (w/o setup info) [23:51] mysqldump will dump your database. If you want to remove parts of it you'll have to edit the dump. [23:52] sorry, had to take the dogs out [23:52] err [23:52] root [23:53] root I think [23:53] mysqldump should be able to do table only, but I don't know the commands for that [23:57] back [23:57] I cant login as root [23:58] access denied [23:59] CRXLPY, do you have a root password on your mysql? [23:59] I dont remember setting one
