wilberfanooooh...i'm close!!     my front-end isn't scaling properly on my TV...  is there a way to force that?00:03
wilberfanplus, my gnome panel is showing at the top of the screen...00:04
MythbuntuGuest86well, if i stop the gdm the system disk finally stops. and when i start the gdm again all hell break loose00:07
MythbuntuGuest86maybe some package or something has been corrupted in the update, is there any way to verify that?00:08
wilberfanhow do i resize my front-end screen?  http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa82/wilberfan/dscf0078.jpg00:23
wilberfancould it be something in here?:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/65436/00:24
wilberfanone front end config screen said it was "1280x1024"   Shouldn't it be 1024x768?00:26
wilberfanthat xorg file is from my hardy-myth install (which works great)00:26
superm1wilberfan, that looks like two monitors plugged in and configured funny00:27
superm1wilberfan, xorg.conf handling changed in intrepid...00:27
superm1you might consider rerunning nvidia-settings and reconfiguring it00:27
wilberfansuperm1: yes, one "monitor" is the TV..the other is my lcd connected to the backend box...00:28
superm1wilberfan, the other thing that looks funny is probably it's just mythtv settings00:29
wilberfanand, yes, i've seen that intrepid handles xorg differently...00:29
superm1it looks like your task bar works right00:29
superm1so go into mythtv's settings and just set it appropriately perhapss00:29
wilberfanyeah...the desktop seems fine...00:29
wilberfanit's hard to do that when the frontend extends off the bottom of the screen!00:29
wilberfan:O00:29
wilberfanwonder if i could vnc in...?00:30
superm1you can hold alt when you click it to drag it around00:30
superm1and get to different parts you cant see00:30
wilberfanyou happen to remember which myth settings i would need to change?  frontend, right?00:31
superm1yup00:31
superm1well appearance is the section you need00:31
wilberfanthis is weird:  i'm trying to alt-drag   it goes left-right-down...  but not up...   and you can see the desktop behind it when you move it over!00:32
wilberfanthe top edge of the frontend window won't go past the taskbar at the top of the screen...00:33
wilberfanand it's the bottom of the frontend screen i need to see...00:33
wilberfani don't understand why the taskbar stays visible... didn't on hardy...00:34
wilberfanthe appearance wizard says "Size: 1280x1024".   That can't be right for a tv...?00:36
foxbuntuwilberfan, its a configuration thing, I run intrepid without that issue00:36
wilberfanconfiguration of what, though?  myth or xorg or...?00:37
foxbuntuwilberfan, depends on the TV some will run that, some will accept it and down convert it00:37
foxbuntuwilberfan, prob myth00:37
wilberfanit's gotta be something about intrepid...cuz it works great under hardy...00:37
foxbuntuthere is a "run in a window option"00:37
foxbuntuok fine Im wrong00:38
* foxbuntu goes to get a beer00:38
wilberfanlol00:38
wilberfanbring me one, will ya?00:38
wilberfani know just enough to really screw this up...00:38
wilberfanif i run the frontend on the 2nd screen (the monitor) it looks great, too...00:39
wilberfanthe nvidia-settings look correct...  could it have something to do with the fact that the first time i ran the frontend, it was on the 1280x1024 lcd monitor?00:42
wilberfanany way to 'reset' that?00:42
foxbuntuwilberfan, attach it to the TV only restart X and see what happens00:45
wilberfanfoxbuntu: you mean unhook the monitor?00:50
foxbuntuyes00:50
wilberfanhmmm...  it went through the "pre-scaling theme images" on the TV...and it looks fine now...00:53
wilberfan:)00:53
wilberfanwonder what will happen if i plug the monitor back in...?00:53
wilberfanguess only one way to find out...00:53
wilberfanfoxbuntu: well..it went through the pre-scaling...but it's back to being too big00:58
foxbuntuwith the monitor plugged in?00:59
wilberfanfoxbuntu: yeah.. no monitor, frontend scales properly on the tv... WITH monitor, frontend scales on tv...but is too big, leaves top panel visible, etc...01:01
foxbuntuwilberfan, ok...so its and xorg issue, what kind of card and connections are you using?01:02
wilberfannvidia 5200:  vga (is that what the non-dvi is called?) to the monitor, s-video to the tv01:04
wilberfani'm using the xorg from hardy (minus the 'input' sections)...wondering if i should re-run nvidia-settings and save to xorg?01:06
wilberfanfoxbuntu: too many beers, bud?  ;)01:15
foxbuntuwilberfan, nope just busy...01:16
foxbuntuwilberfan, you prob need to setup twinview01:17
foxbuntu...google for it01:17
* wilberfan sighs01:17
wilberfanany idea why that xorg is fine for hardy, but not intrepid?01:19
foxbuntuwilberfan, changes in the drivers and upgrade to Xorg 1.501:20
foxbuntuand the way its all handled01:20
wilberfanhmmm...01:20
wilberfanany idea how 'xinerama' is different from 'twinview'?01:21
foxbuntuwhy are you trying to have a monitor hooked up to a frontend with a TV already on it?01:21
wilberfancuz it's awesome that way.. is the short answer01:21
wilberfanthe tv is in the next room, and I can still use the 'puter in the kitchen as a puter01:22
wilberfanit was the best of both worlds in hardy...01:22
wilberfantwinview in nvidia-settings seems to turn off the monitor...01:31
foxbuntuwilberfan, sorry, i gtg...gl with it01:33
* wilberfan scratches his ass in thought01:34
MythbuntuGuest93hey is anyone else having trouble accessing schedules direct?01:36
rhpot1991MythbuntuGuest93: looks like their site is down01:50
Decepticoni have a pvr150, dmesg detects it properly afaik, but "cat /dev/video0 > video.mpg" gives a video.mpg that is 0 kb in size, even after tuning to a known channel with "ptune --input /dev/video0 --channel 5 --freqtable ntsc-cable"02:24
Decepticonas a result i keep getting timeout scanning for channels in mythtv-setup02:24
Decepticonplease advise02:24

raptorjrhello guys. Hoping to be lucky today and maybe someone is awake and kan help me with my problem i got after upgrding to 8.10. Look at this http://pastebin.com/m1e20fee908:57
raptorjrMy system cant start the desktop anymore becuase of hundreds of processes is started, and after some hour the desktop is restarted, and i try to login again it starts all over again08:58
lagawow08:59
lagathat looks wrong08:59
raptorjryes it does =)08:59
lagalet me fire up my mythbuntu box08:59
MythbuntuGuest66good morning...08:59
raptorjri'm hoping tha someone a little more skilled than me have some ideas i can try. It would be really sad to have to reinstall everything09:00
lagaraptorjr: i'll take a look09:00
raptorjrthank you =)09:00
lagaraptorjr: so, your ~/.dmrc says "mythbuntu" as the session type?09:01
lagaraptorjr: what files do you have in ~/.config/autostart/ ?09:02
raptorjri guess? i followed the upgrade procedure and haven't changed anything else, but let me check to be sure09:02
raptorjrsince the system is busy to create all those processes it takes soome time for me to check things, but give me a minute i will lock what i have in autostart09:03
lagaraptorjr: you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop09:03
lagato kill X09:03
raptorjryes, but even that takes a long time =) takes me a minute or two just to get into ssh09:04
raptorjrnow, the .dmrc says mythbuntu09:09
raptorjrin that autostart folder i have a mythtv.desktop link09:09
lagaand mythtv-desktop says "Exec=mythfrontend --service"?09:10
raptorjryes09:10
raptorjrwith some other things too, but it is there09:10
lagaokay09:10
lagai don't think the mythtv-desktop file is to blame09:11
lagait looks like the session itself is started multiple times09:11
raptorjra loop from hell09:11
lagaraptorjr: what do you have in your /etc/mythtv/session-settings?09:12
lagaor in $HOME/.mythtv/session09:13
raptorjrnothing at all really, all lines have a # infront of them, in /etc/mythtv/session-settings09:13
raptorjrdont have a session in .mythtv09:14
lagayeah, ok09:14
lagaso, both mythfrontend and jockey-gtk are started multiple times09:15
lagaother stuff isn't09:15
raptorjrupdate-notifier will start multiple times also, but that is not shown in that output, it freaks out later09:16
raptorjrbut those three09:16
lagaraptorjr: what's in /etc/xdg/autostart/ ? any freaky symlinks?09:17
raptorjrhave four files, no links, jockey-gtk.desktop,update-notifier.desktop,bluetooth-applet.desktop,nm-applet.desktop09:19
lagahum. looks sane09:20
lagait is possible that the session management in xfce screws up09:20
lagado you have ~/.xfce* ?09:20
lagano, wait09:20
lagatry moving ~/.config/*xfce* out of the way09:21
raptorjrok09:21
raptorjrthen restart?09:22
lagayeah09:22
raptorjri think it worked =)09:26
lagaoh, great09:27
lagaso let's blame the session management09:27
raptorjrwas it anything important in those directorys? something i will miss?09:27
lagayou can try partially restoring those directories so we can nail down that broke it09:27
lagaum, i don't know :)09:27
raptorjryes, will try to put it back and see09:28
MythbuntuGuest66i have problems to connect to my backend... one computer is running mythbuntu 8.1 standardinstallation... i booted a vm with live session but can not connect to the backend... any ideas?09:28
MythbuntuGuest66i took mysql mythtv password from etc/mythtv/mysql.txt but test result says failure09:33
MythbuntuGuest66ty... bye09:48
raptorjrfinally =) it is something with the xfce4-session folder, and the two files in that folder09:55
raptorjrhmm10:03
raptorjrbefore this little problem i could export DISPLAY=:0 and start applications. but now i only get unable to open display :010:04
raptorjrin what files should i enable xforwarding? maybe something has been restored in the upgrade10:18
raptorjrnever thought so much would go wrong when i upgraded, now i have no sound either10:36
lagaraptorjr: i have the same problem.10:36
lagare DISPLAY=:010:36
lagasuperm1: ^^ see? it's a regression.10:36
lagaraptorjr: i wonder if consolekit is to blame10:36
lagaraptorjr: where do you have no sound?10:37
raptorjrin mythtv10:38
raptorjrhaooy i'm not alone with the DISPLAY problem =)10:39
raptorjrhappy10:39
lagadoes mplayer work?10:39
raptorjri will try10:39
lagaraptorjr: the DISPLAY problem is something that makes me wanna scream10:39
raptorjrnope, no sound in mplayer10:40
lagacheck alsamixer?10:40
raptorjreverything is on 100%, and when there is 00 below the bars, it is unmuted, yes?10:41
lagayes, i think so.10:41
lagawhat does aplay -L say?10:41
raptorjrit seems to find all speaker output10:42
lagaand aplay -l?10:43
lagado you use spdif out?10:43
raptorjrit finds one analog and one digital output10:43
raptorjrno, dont use spdif10:43
lagahum10:43
lagathen i'm stumped..10:43
raptorjri only use the speaker out, dont even have surround10:44
lagawhat does mplayer say when it's playing back audio?10:44
raptorjrthe only thing i can see is No hardware mixing, inserting volume filter, other than that it looks like mplayer thinks it is playing sound10:45
raptorjrbut that could be because i added in mplayer config to use software mixing because the volume was so low10:45
raptorjrhmm, thought the point with upgrade was to get more things to work better, not working things to stop working =)10:47
raptorjrguess i have learned: if it aint broken dont fix it, the hard way =)10:47
KeithamusDoes anyone here have an Ati card? Im on intrepid and I cannot get the thing to work for the life of me12:19
MythbuntuGuest09I'm having troubles with my ubuntu 8.10 upgrade. My X locks at "Starting the desktop manager", see http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f5db9139d for pastebin12:22
raptorjrso, back to the DISPLAY=:0 problem, is there anything i can do to help to find the problem?12:39
raptorjrMythbuntuGuest09, are you still here?12:42
MythbuntuGuest09yep still here12:42
raptorjrdont know, but you could have the same problem i had. is your system disk working like crazy?12:42
MythbuntuGuest09yep12:43
MythbuntuGuest09it first hang during a "performing autostart"12:43
raptorjrdo a ps -A, and you probably have A LOT of mythfronted.re processes12:43
raptorjrsame as me12:43
MythbuntuGuest09yep12:43
MythbuntuGuest09same here12:43
raptorjrand you probably have A LOT og jockey-gtk and update-notifier processes too12:43
MythbuntuGuest09i'm currently seeing if the livecd works12:43
MythbuntuGuest09have to, see, i'll check my logs12:44
raptorjrwhat you should do, and that worked for me, thanks to laga. in your .config folder in your homedirectory you have a xfce4 folder and a xfce4-session folder. Move those out of that folder and restart. For me it was enough to move the xfce4-session folder12:45
MythbuntuGuest09i can remember the jockey-gtk processes, don't know sure about the update-notifier (have to see)12:45
raptorjrthat is not important, we seem to have the same problem, but moving thos folders helped12:46
raptorjrthe xfce4 folder will be created again and it seems that the xfce4-session folder is the problem12:47
raptorjrit only has two files, but when i moved it back, the problem was back12:47
MythbuntuGuest09i'm rebooting to the ubuntu system (nearly started installing from scratch)12:48
raptorjrit would be fun to see if it worked for you too. And also, if it works, if you can do a export DISPLAY=:0 from a ssh session, that wont work for me after the upgrade. No Xforwarding =(12:48
lagaraptorjr: doesnt work for me one a fresh install12:49
raptorjrnice to know it isn't my system then12:50
lagas/one/on/12:50
lagasuperm1 claims it's been that way for ages, but he's wrong :)12:50
raptorjrit worked before the upgrade12:50
MythbuntuGuest09should i only move the xfce4-session folder to try?12:51
raptorjrwhy not, try that first12:51
MythbuntuGuest09btw now it's hanging at "Performing autostart" again12:51
raptorjrit was the samefor me, sometimes performing autostart, and sometimes starting desktopmanager12:52
raptorjrbut start whith the xfce4-session folder first12:52
raptorjri was so happy when it worked, but if i cant get the sound working i'll be reinstalling anyway =(12:53
lagaraptorjr: does sound work in the livecd?12:53
raptorjrhmm, haven't tried, could try that. only need to find a empty cd first =)12:53
MythbuntuGuest09whoo, thanks! i can confirm that renaming ~/.config/xfce4-session to some other name works12:55
raptorjr=)12:55
raptorjrall thanks to laga12:56
MythbuntuGuest09thanks laga12:56
lagai'm a bit unhappy that it happened..12:56
MythbuntuGuest09should we file bug report?12:57
lagayes, that'd be most appreciated12:57
MythbuntuGuest09is this a ubuntu or a mythbuntu problem?12:57
lagamythbuntu13:00
MythbuntuGuest05i reported a mythbuntu bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/292125 (After upgrade to mythbuntu 8.10 system hangs at "Performing Autostart" or "Starting the Desktop Manager" (xfce4-session problem)). thanks lago/raporjr13:40
superm1MythbuntuGuest05, do you have the "splash" screen turned on?13:49
superm1the xfce splash that is13:49
superm1MythbuntuGuest05, if so, this sounds like an old xfce bug13:50
raptorjris it turned on in a standard 8.04.1 installation? that was what i had and then did a upgrade to 8.10, and got that problem too13:55
MythbuntuGuest05yes i have the splash turned on. i'll upload my session config to the bugreport14:04
superm1MythbuntuGuest05, ah yes, then you have a duplicate14:09
superm1if this is still quite reproducible might be able to help get it fixed too ! :)14:09
superm1raptorjr, no its off by default due to this exact bug14:09
superm1we never could root cause it14:09
MythbuntuGuest05raptorjr or somebody else, can you set this bug to confirmed?14:10
aI'm having trouble getting my asus-dh remote working in mythbuntu 8.10. I'm getting a no gap found error, which is probably because I'm calling lirc with the wrong device, but I'm not.14:13
MythbuntuGuest05superm1/lago/raptorjr, what's need to be done to get this fixed?14:14
aso I think there's something wrong with the irdevice, and I was wondering what to try next14:14
athe irdevices driver that is, because it worked in 8.0414:15
superm1MythbuntuGuest05, so that attached directory, that's the old .config/xfce4-session that will cause problems?14:16
superm1it looks empty14:17
raptorjrso it is off by default, but get turned on when upgrading?14:38
superm1no it shouldnt get turned on afaik14:45
superm1do you have a broken .config directory you could upload though?14:45
superm1it looks like piterb's wasn't complete14:45
raptorjrwell, back to my sound problem. I had sound in 8.04.1, but after upgrading to 8.10 the sound is gone. Have tried mplayer, vlc and xine. However, running 8.10 LiveCD gets me sound. Any clue on what file could be broken?14:46
raptorjrsure, i'll look14:46
raptorjrhow do i upload?14:46
raptorjrnow i have uploaded a broken xfce4-session folder, that one messes up my system14:53
raptorjrlook if you can see get the files inside14:53
raptorjrbut, could need some place to look for the problem with my sound. if the 8.10 LiveCD works it must be some file that did not get updated that is wrong. But i dont even know where to look14:57
raptorjrand everything is maxed in alsamixer, so that is not the problem14:57
TheBlasphemerHi, would anyone know why network connections are no longer working in a diskless chroot enviroment ?15:35
TheBlasphemererr, nevermind, resolv.conf still had some old info15:47
MarLaw_Hello all - I'm on 8.10 and I'm trying to get up and running with mythtv. I install the metapackage mythtv which includes both front and backend, I followed the instructions. I want to use it with a Skystar2, which I can see with lspci and already works with Kaffeine, however in mythtv WatchTv doesn't do anything and scan channels within the settings page is always grayd ..can someone give me a hint / hand in setting it up?15:52
MarLaw_the idea is that once i can see the frontend work on local, i want to use it on an apple tv connected to the big tv15:54
superm1MarLaw_, well check permissions on the /dev/dvb pieces16:11
superm1and make sure the user you are launching mythtv-setup as is able to read the /dev/dvb pieces16:12
lagasuperm1: he's already being supported in #mythtv-users16:12
superm1oh16:12
superm1okay16:12
MarLaw_yeah thanks superm1, laga16:12
raptorjris it possible to reinstall the parts that handle the sound in some way?16:13
superm1raptorjr, do you by chance have pulseaudio installed?16:16
superm1if so - remove it...16:16
raptorjrhmm, maybe. i dont know =) if i have i have not seleted it16:17
raptorjrhow can i tell?16:17
superm1synaptic16:17
superm1open it up and search16:17
raptorjri'll check16:17
raptorjrno, only libpulse0, but not the server16:19
raptorjrbut it is so strange, worked before upgrade, and works with 8.10 livecd, but not on my upgraded system16:19
raptorjri thought that the xfce bug would force me to reinstall, but laga saved me. And now i'm back again to thinking about reinstall. This is killing me =)16:21
TheBlasphemerI'm going crazy, I've got a VIA Eppia EX10000EG board, and for some reason the TV keeps telling me it's got "no signal" unless I set openchrome to VBEModes, but that won't allow me to set the native 1360x768 resolution :(16:23
raptorjrlol, now export DISPLAY works again, maybe i should wait a while and the sound will work also =)16:24
raptorjrdont know if this could be to any help, but when i try to watch a recording in mythtv i get this error: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL /dev/mixer16:29
raptorjr AudioOutput Warning: Mixer attach error -2: No such file or directory16:29
raptorjrbut i do have a /dev/mixer, and have rw permissions for everybody16:29
Seeker`will NOVA-T 500's be able to record HD when it start being broadcast on freeview?16:31
ldcHi all, just wanted to check if there are any known issues with the 8.10 release and that the network is brought down on diskless clients during shutdown?18:21
ldcor semi-known18:21
superm1ldc, that sounds like that would be a problem :)18:28
superm1laga, ^?18:28
ldchehe, yea... been trying to figure out what's causing it18:30
ldcsuperm1, just getting a nbd0 Receive control failed (event -4), ie write failed to socket18:32
ldcsuperm1, and even disabled the networking init.d script.. nothing seems to be going as i want it to today :P18:36
lagaum.18:41
lagano clue, i'll have to try that18:41
ldcAlso an issue that i have experienced, but also know the fix for... The latest ubuntu fglrx drivers dont work as they should with HDMI output if you try to get rid of the black borders via the aticonfig app... If you do that the borders will go away for the current session but as soon as you restart the system it will freeze the kernel (nothing out via netconsole either) and the system even stops responding to pings..18:47
ldc Workaround for this (if the latest drivers are wanted) is to remove the /etc/ati/amdpcsdb file before fglrx is loaded and rerun the aticonfig at every reboot.18:47
ldcjust something i thought i share with the rest of you18:47

ldclaga, oh, just managed to switch to the shutdown log console this time after some tricks.. seems like this is happening just after the killprocs script has run... might this be something as simple as that is killing of the nbd-client18:52
laganot again.18:56
laga:(18:56
lagageo_: so?18:56
lagai actually wrote about mythtv in linux user in 2005 :) but that was the german issue18:57
ldclaga, just found the problem19:02
ldcsendsigs (and maybe killprocs) seems to terminate nbd-client19:02
ldcafter doing a quickfix for it the system shuts down as it should19:03
lagaldc: there is a way around that19:03
lagalet me fire up my VM19:03
ldclaga, yea, just fix so the sendsigs also check the /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/ folder (where the nbd-client pid-file is) and not just /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/19:07
lagaldc: well, that seems to be the case for my intrepid install?19:09
lagacan you confirm your /etc/init.d/sendsigs does not check that directory?19:09
ldcyep19:09
ldcfor omitfile in /var/run/sendsigs.omit /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit; do19:09
ldcfor pidfile in /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/*19:09

lagaooooh.19:09
ldc^^19:10
lagai wish i could remember where i added this back then19:11
LynetWill I have any problems with an 8.04 backend and 8.10 frontend (that is, is the mythtv version in hardy and intrepid the same - if not, should I add a ppa to make sure the mythtv versions are in sync?)19:12
lagaLynet: it should work.. of course, you can add the weekly builds repo19:12
Lynetlaga: How stable is the weekly? Would hate it if the backend went loopy and refuses to record on a regular basis.19:13
lagaLynet: it should be stable, but there are no guarantees. if you're worried, just don't use them :)19:14
ldclaga, /etc/init.d/mythbuntu-diskless-client:    mkdir -p /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/19:14

ldclaga, while you are in that script fixing this maybe you feel like adding a minimal feature :)19:16
lagahmm?19:17
ldclaga, remove all files/dirs specified in /etc/shutdown-clean or what it now should be named19:18

ldclaga, and also a way for you to implement cleanups of stuff19:20
* laga is very slow tonight.19:20
ldclaga, it's the ati configuration-file19:20
tgm4883_laptopah19:20
lagaah. and why do you wanna delete that? ;)19:20
ldclaga, yep... because it causes the fglrx driver to completly freeze the kernel on mysetup19:21
lagaah :)19:21
ldclaga, it's a bug in the fglrx driver (think it's powerplay related)... and no idea when that will go away...19:24
lagathe joys of closed source kernel modules19:24
* ldc will be running in the streets cheering when the new RadeonHD is stable enough to use! :)19:26
lagaheh19:29
lagaso, SRU time for mythbuntu-diskless then :)19:29
ldcoh, already fixed and uploaded?19:30
lagano19:30
lagaand your fix was simply replacing /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/ with /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/ ?19:32
ldcyep19:32
ldcportmap already uses that19:32
lagasounds sane.19:32

Mr-AtomicI'm having trouble using a nfs share as a storage group.  Recordings dont start.  I think it may be a directory ownership problem.  It's mythtv for both owner and group but when I mount the remote directory to the local, the ownership changes to my log-in.  Anyone have experience using nfs remote storage for recordings?19:57

Zinnkito0: 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.20:02
kito0mythtv can't connect to mysql, is says "Acces denied" for my user20:04
ldclaga, oh.. just remebered something else that might be good to include that i had to do a ugly fix for... mythfrontend must be started with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true when using fglrx on some systems..20:05
lagaldc: you can add that to /etc/mythtv/session-settings20:05
ldckito0, remote frontend?20:05
kito0no20:05
kito0ldc, no20:06
ldclaga, do you use the default user/password?20:06
ldcerr20:06
ldckito0, do you use the default user/password?20:06
kito0ldc, yes20:07
ldclaga, yea, but would be nice to have the option to set that via the control-center... Maybe also add an option to selected the wanted gfx-driver in there too for automatic installation20:08
ldckito0, is it the frontend or backend you are having problems with?20:08
ldcor maybe both?20:08
kito0ldc, frontend20:09
lagaldc: you can select the VGA driver in jockey-gtk20:09
lagaldc: and i'd rather ATI fix their driver20:09
ldclaga, hehe.. me too... but we should probably never count on them to do it :)20:09
sngbkHi everyone.  I'm having trouble with my PS3 seeing my mythbuntu backend.  It's my understanding that uPnP should be turned on by default, but how can I verify this?20:09
kito0ldc, in fact i've never been able to launch the program20:09
ldckito0, try executing "mysql -u <user> -p mythconverg" where <user> is the mythtv user for the system20:10
kito0ldc, that user should be me?20:11
ldcno20:11
ldcthe mysql user20:11
kito0ldc, ok20:12
ldckito0, lets go private20:12
lagaldc: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythbuntu-diskless/+bug/29231920:13
ldclaga, ah.. nice...20:26
lagaldc: you might wanna subscribe so you can test the bug fix in -proposed20:27
sngbkThanks, I figured out my previous question so you can cancel it if I was in a queue.  :)20:56
ldcsngbk, feel free to drop me a msg if mythtv and the PS3 works good together... been thinking about getting one but cannot decide if i want another x86 frontend or a PS3 ;)21:06
sngbkI'm just giving it a try now, it seems to work well.21:07
sngbkI've got a pretty standard setup, hauppauge 150, so I'm doing standard def.21:15
sngbkI've read that if you're using certain cards you will need to transcode the video for the PS3 to be able to play it back properly.21:15
sngbkbut overall, seems good so far for simple playback.21:15
fatmonkTypical problem here (I believe from googling around) - am having trouble setting up S/PDIF output. Hardy Heron MythBuntu install on a GigaByte MoBo with built in S/PDIF output. Anyone around that may be able to help out?  Been tryoing to sort this for a couple of weeks now but getting nowhere, although main mythtv.org site has the board listed as 's/pdif wound working out of the box'! Standing by to give more info as re21:22
lagafatmonk: you can also try the forums if you dont get an answer in here21:29
fatmonkThanks laga. I posted on mythtv-talk earlier in the week and just one response from someone saying they had similar problmes and gave up. Not very encouraging, but I intend to keep trying as I'm convinced it should work. Work so far points to the bits being there for it to work.21:32
lagafatmonk: i meant the mythbuntu subforums at ubuntuforums.org21:35
fastie81morning all.21:37
fastie81I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I have..21:37
fastie81I am building me a mc box for my home and got my self a nice silverstone GD01B-MXR case that has a remote and nice lcd display that comes with it..21:39
fastie81not to worried about the display as yet cause I cant even get the remote working21:39
fatmonklaga: ah, not tried there... off to check...21:39
fastie81if I do a lsusb it comes up with "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. "21:40
fatmonkfastie81: similar situation here with Antec Veris fusion. Remote works with direction pad, mouse clicks and numbers, but any other button kills lirc and restarting the process doesn't help - full reboot needed.21:41
fastie81now when I asked google it looks like everyone got an imon pad or something next to it..21:41
fastie81well mine does not work at all.. nothing..21:41
fastie81and no matter what I try nothing seams to happen21:42
fastie81I have downloaded the new 8.10 version hopping that it will give me something.. but not even a crash21:43
fatmonkfastie81: Mine IS an iMon PAD remote for the Veris using the same IR receiver (Bus 001 Device 002: ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc.). Loads of googling and loads of refs as you say to lsusb mentioning the iMon PAD, but as you can see mine doesn't. Got a Huapagge card in my box, so considering trying that to see if that gets me further forward, but the Veris remote is sooo much nicer.21:44
fastie81that is exactly what I got..21:45
fastie81would love getting it working21:45
fastie81what version of mythbuntu you running?21:45
lagasomeone buy me an antec fusion and i'll try to write a howto ;)21:45
fastie81you need a soundgraph not an antec fusion21:46
fastie81I can lend you mine if I can get it working21:47
fastie81fatmonk: how did you get yours working? well I know you say only a few buttons work but it will be nice if can get that far21:48
lagafatmonk has a fusion so i thought it was the same21:48
fastie81the boxes is diffrent but the remote and lcd is the same21:49
rhpot1991silver or black?21:53
fastie81I got the black21:54
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: ever get yours working?21:54
tgm4883_laptoprhpot1991, working on it right now22:01
tgm4883_laptopbut actually, have some bigger fish to fry first22:01
fatmonkbizarrely it just worked after the standard Hardy based MythBuntu install from a couple of months ago.. whats the best way to check installed version as I also got the updates all enabled...22:01
rhpot1991tgm4883_laptop: did you try setting the lirc device to imon and using the config in my bug report?22:01
rhpot1991curious as if that would work22:01
fatmonkoops, that was in reply to fastie81.22:01
tgm4883_laptopI didn't try that, but only cause the ir receiver is low on my priority22:04
fastie81well as I take all the latest lirc pits is in the new release so I was thinking it would work..22:04
rhpot1991fastie81: you can try this and see how it works with yours: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/21596022:05
rhpot1991mine is a silver though, so I can't promise you anything22:05
fastie81well I think they have the same soundgraph in it.. well I thinkg22:06
fastie81thanks I wil have a dig and let you know22:06
rhpot1991they are both imon, but the black one is newer22:07
fastie81o ok22:07
raptorjrAny new people that could have some suggestions on what i could try to get my sound working again.Worked on 8.04.1, stopped after upgrade to 8.10, but work with 8.10 LiveCD22:11
fatmonkrhpot1991: The files on the launchpad page... if I save the to the correct locations what's the 'MLG' taht you ran on them and how do you reckon I might get the remote responding after the odd disabling of it I'm seeing (after pressing any button other tha the direction pad, 0-9 and mouse clicks)?22:22
=== ihaaaaaa is now known as ukkopekka
Mr-Atomica recording on the backend = choppy playback of video on remote thin client.  Hints or advice?22:32
rhpot1991fatmonk: mythbuntu-lirc-generator22:34
rhpot1991Mr-Atomic: any way you can copy the recording to the frontend?22:36
fastie81hi rhpot1991 just a question. on 8.10 I have not got a dev lirc0 but have lircd and lircd1. how would know witch on it the soundgraph?22:36
Mr-AtomicThe thin client is a playback device... Popcorn hour it is not running the Myth frontend22:38
fastie81how would I know witch one is the soundgraph? what sound better22:38
Mr-AtomicNFS SAMBA or UPNP all same result22:39
Mr-AtomicI don't know if it's hard drive or nic related22:39
Mr-Atomicrhpot1991: I tried setting the popcorn as a mounted nfs share to the myth box to record directly to the gadget but had issues with it working with myth as a storge group22:40
rhpot1991Mr-Atomic: I know nothing of popcorn, sorry22:41
rhpot1991fastie81: the fusion has an imon, do you have a soundgraph as a seperate device?22:42
Mr-Atomicits a playback device22:42
Mr-Atomicany thin client would have the same issue.  Through put is upset by either over taxed hard drive or nic I think22:43
fastie81rhpot1991:  I have have soundgraph if I do a lsusb22:44
fastie81it is just in the link you send me on the hardware.conf it say remote is lirc0 but I don;t have a dev/lirc022:45
fatmonkfastie81: once again, same here. seems we're sharing the same pain...22:46
fastie81this is so weird.22:46
fastie81there must be a fix22:47
rhpot1991you guys should search the forums for some info on the black fusion22:47
rhpot1991once upon a time you needed to get some things that weren't new enough in hardy to use it22:47
rhpot1991I have the silver so I have no idea what the state of the black is22:47
fastie81ok do you know if I need to create the lirc0 or should they just be there?22:48
tgm4883_laptopthere is a link in the howto thread on the forum about the black fusion.  I haven't tested it though22:50
tgm4883_laptopit's for hardy22:50
fastie81do you have the link on hand?22:50
