| foxbuntu | well my general point is that you will prob have just as many issues rolling back to 8.04 as fixing 8.10 at this point | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| darkwizard | i might have to reload it | 00:00 |
| foxbuntu | thats your progative | 00:02 |
| darkwizard | well never gona take another update ever | 00:04 |
| hads | heh | 00:05 |
| darkwizard | it always goes wrong | 00:08 |
| foxbuntu | darkwizard, yeah...that will solve it | 00:10 |
| foxbuntu | darkwizard, perhaps dont act without knowing what you are doing... use google/forums/irc before doing | 00:11 |
| darkwizard | lol maybe | 00:13 |
| foxbuntu | darkwizard, or learn after breaking rather than giving up | 00:13 |
| darkwizard | i am not giving up | 00:14 |
| darkwizard | just reloading it | 00:14 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hey, I have a network device that mounted for mythtv, but for some reason it causes it to hang when rebooting, if i do /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop. and then reboot, it works fine so I am trying to add the command /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop to when the computer shuts down, i tried adding it to a scrtipt in /etc/rc0.d but for some reason it is executing | 00:14 |
| darkwizard | i don't have time to freaking around with it | 00:14 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Iti sn't executing * I mean | 00:15 |
| foxbuntu | ajhtiredwolf, what kind of network device | 00:16 |
| foxbuntu | ? | 00:16 |
| CptFuzzy | anyone running mythbuntu on 8.10 yet? | 00:48 |
| Spirits-Sight | what is new in 8.10 for mythbuntu | 00:52 |
| CptFuzzy | i donno... it's my first crack at mythtv. can't get the mysql part working | 00:53 |
| rhpot1991 | CptFuzzy: how is it not working? | 00:53 |
| CptFuzzy | failure to connect. | 00:54 |
| CptFuzzy | fresh install - it made some weird password, but it's not connecting in the mythtv setup screen | 00:55 |
| rhpot1991 | !mysql% | CptFuzzy | 00:56 |
| Zinn | CptFuzzy: If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common | 00:56 |
| CptFuzzy | thx... i'll try it | 00:56 |
| CptFuzzy | ... for some reason, it did not install the backend at all. weird. | 00:59 |
| sparr | i installed the mythbuntu packages in my kubuntu system a long time ago. now when i upgrade everything, mythtv makes unwanted config changes. currently, my gdm splash screen shows mythtv, automatically logs into the mythtv user session, and when i kill that it wants to re-login as mythtv after 30 seconds at the gdm screen. how can i fix this now and forever? | 01:10 |
| hads | mythbuntu-control-centre will help with the auto-login | 01:14 |
| superm1 | mythtv user session? remove ubuntu-mythtv-frontend | 01:17 |
| superm1 | if you've got it installed. it can wreck havock | 01:17 |
| hads | If you're using kubuntu why not KDM out of curiosity? | 01:18 |
| sparr | i dont remember. i switched from kdm to gdm years ago for some reason related to sessions | 01:19 |
| * sparr wonders if 12 years counts as decades... 1.2 is plural | 01:20 | |
| sparr | superm1: isnt that the gui frontend? | 01:23 |
| superm1 | sparr, no | 01:23 |
| superm1 | it's an old package that doesn't do good things on mythbuntu boxes | 01:23 |
| superm1 | its good for putting together your own system without mythbuntu packages, but that's about it | 01:23 |
| sparr | in control centre, trying to add the "kubuntu desktop" role | 01:24 |
| sparr | it tells me i have adept/synaptic/apt/something running | 01:24 |
| sparr | but i dont [think i do] | 01:24 |
| sparr | ahh, had a broken dpkg run from my upgrade | 01:27 |
| sparr | back to that, i guess | 01:27 |
| justdave | so I upgraded my Mythbuntu box to Intrepid, and now the update-notifier applet doesn't run, so I can't easily tell when there are updates. If I try to run it manually, it tells me "not starting for system user". | 02:02 |
| justdave | of course, the "mythtv" user that it's logged in as is a system user. what's the point of that though? | 02:03 |
| justdave | (the point of making that not run for system users) | 02:03 |
| justdave | if you made it to a GUI desktop, you must be capable of running it I would think | 02:04 |
| justdave | that's probably more a question for upstream Ubuntu devs I suppose | 02:04 |
| justdave | ah, found it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286037 | 02:09 |
| justdave | looks like someone's workaround for another bug they didn't feel like fixing | 02:10 |
| justdave | maybe this thing shouldn't really be running as 'mythtv'... I've been running it since Edgy, has that changed in the default install since then? :) | 02:13 |
| sparr | can you elaborate on what a "system user" is? | 02:15 |
| justdave | userid less than 500 | 02:17 |
| justdave | reserved for system use. | 02:17 |
| justdave | and I just looked at the installation manual, and it actually has in italics boldfaced "please don't use the userid 'mythtv'" now. :) | 02:17 |
| justdave | so I guess that's an artifact of this thing being upgraded over an over from an ancient system :) | 02:17 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hey, I have a network device that mounted for mythtv, but for some reason it causes it to hang when rebooting, if i do /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop. and then reboot, it works fine so I am trying to add the command /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop to when the computer shuts down, i tried adding it to a scrtipt in /etc/rc0.d but for some reason it is executing | 02:19 |
| justdave | is it chodded executable? | 02:21 |
| justdave | er, chmodded even | 02:21 |
| justdave | you put the INIT INFO comments at the top of the file? | 02:22 |
| justdave | so it knows what it has to run before, what has to run before it? | 02:23 |
| justdave | and rather than stoping Network Manager, might it be safer to unmount the fileshare in question? | 02:24 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, | 02:46 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, well i was going to unmount it, but the problem seems to only go away when i type that commadnd | 02:46 |
| justdave | the initscript that you write needs to be in /etc/init.d/ | 02:47 |
| justdave | and you include in the comments at the top which runlevels to run it in | 02:47 |
| justdave | then use the update-rc.d command on it to insert it into the startup/shutdown sequence | 02:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, yeah I put it in /etc/init.d/ and then linked to it in /etc/rc0.d | 02:48 |
| justdave | which both drops those symlinks into the appropriate rc.x directories and updates an xml database somewhere where upstart keeps track of startup/shutdown dependencies | 02:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | just | 02:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, let me show you the script | 02:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, http://www.pastebin.ca/1243691 | 02:50 |
| CRXLPY | dvr migration complete..... aaahhhhhhhh | 02:50 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, does that look appropriate to you? | 02:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | hello all | 03:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | i'm looking for a suggestion for a video device (card?) to install in my PIII 733mhz machine to get the video signal from my computer to my TV (analog, low-def) ... any sugestions? | 03:23 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | afk... | 03:23 |
| CRXLPY | any wintv pvr card MythbuntuGuest01 | 03:34 |
| CRXLPY | ooops you meant out, not in.... | 03:35 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Hey, I have a network device that mounted for mythtv, but for some reason it causes it to hang when rebooting, if i do /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop. and then reboot, it works fine so I am trying to add the command /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop to when the computer shuts down, i tried adding it to a scrtipt in /etc/rc0.d but for some reason it is executing | 03:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest01 | my main concern is for out (but i'll take in too if i can get it - if not ... out ifs fine) suggestions? | 03:41 |
| justdave | ajhtiredwolf: you left before I got back to answer your question about the pastebin earlier... no, that script is missing all the INIT INFO stuff that upstart needs | 03:43 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, sorry, this is the first one ive really written myself, what should i put in i t? | 03:43 |
| justdave | take a look at the other scripts in init.d, you need the section from BEGIN INIT INFO to END INIT INFO, and update the information accordingly | 03:43 |
| justdave | Ubuntu doesn't just blindly run all the symlinks in the rc.X directory in order anymore like older linuxes, it has a smart boot script that runs things in parallel if possible | 03:44 |
| justdave | it uses those comments at the top to decide what things have to run before or after it | 03:45 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, hmmm k, im looking for one that has INIT info | 03:45 |
| justdave | but even without that, it may do the right thing if you use the update-init.rd script to add it to the boot/shutdown process | 03:46 |
| justdave | you might be able to supply it the necessary info on the command line with that | 03:46 |
| justdave | er, update-rc.d actually | 03:47 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, well how about that http://www.pastebin.ca/1243726 would that work? | 03:47 |
| justdave | I think upstart keeps a database somewhere, and the update-rc.d will update that database in addition to setting the symlinks | 03:47 |
| justdave | don't know about the required and should stuff... | 03:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, was just something in a different script | 03:48 |
| justdave | the Required-Start stuff is things that need to run before that can during startup, Required-Stop is stuff that needs to run before that can during shutdown | 03:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | ajhtiredwolf, im just trying to make this run first | 03:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, im just trying to make this run first | 03:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, before anything else does | 03:49 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, on shut down | 03:49 |
| justdave | clear all those lines out then | 03:49 |
| justdave | Default-Start and Default-Stop are what runlevels to run it in start mode and stop mode | 03:50 |
| ajhtiredwolf | should i keep those ones? | 03:50 |
| justdave | the required and should lines are optional from what I can tell | 03:50 |
| ajhtiredwolf | alright so all i need is default start and sotp? | 03:51 |
| justdave | yeah | 03:52 |
| ajhtiredwolf | does it need the #!/bin/sh | 03:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | # | 03:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | # rc.local too? | 03:53 |
| justdave | the #!/bin/sh yes, the rest no | 03:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, alright heres what it looks like http://www.pastebin.ca/index.php | 03:53 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, woops here http://www.pastebin.ca/1243730 | 03:54 |
| justdave | update-rc.d yourscriptname defaults | 03:55 |
| justdave | (run that, replace yourscriptname with the filename of the script you wrote (just the name, not the path) | 03:55 |
| justdave | assumes the script is located in /etc/init.d/ | 03:55 |
| ajhtiredwolf | sorry | 04:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | net crashed | 04:05 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, so anyway, alright i did that, do i need to do anything else to it? | 04:06 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, hmm when i ran that command it got mad, complained that it was missing required stop | 04:08 |
| justdave | ah, look at the other init scripts... they have function calls for start, stop, restart, etc in them | 04:09 |
| justdave | case "$1" in start) | 04:10 |
| justdave | etc | 04:10 |
| justdave | should be a newline before start there | 04:10 |
| ajhtiredwolf | what would i put under required start and stop though? they dont require anything, just leave it blank? | 04:11 |
| justdave | I'm probably not the best person to talk to, I've never actually messed with initscripts on Ubuntu before (just on rhel :) | 04:12 |
| ajhtiredwolf | hmmm | 04:12 |
| ajhtiredwolf | alright | 04:12 |
| justdave | the start/stop/restart stuff is the same, but Ubuntu does a lot of it quite differently | 04:12 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave do you know how to mount a network device? | 04:13 |
| justdave | I would put your network manager stop thing inside either start) or stop) depending on how you set it up for the runlevels | 04:13 |
| justdave | mount devicename:/path/to/mount /path/to/mount/at | 04:13 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, i mean actuall i know how to do it, i just need it to mount after the network starts | 04:13 |
| justdave | put it in /etc/fstab if you want it to happen automatically at boot | 04:14 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, I want it to happen at boot. BUT I need it to happen after the network starts, right now it freezes for a while because it cant mount it, then after a long time it skips it and starts up | 04:15 |
| ajhtiredwolf | yet... it has been mounted once i login though | 04:15 |
| justdave | what's it have for the fstype in fstab? | 04:15 |
| justdave | is it nfs? | 04:15 |
| justdave | usually if it knows the type is nfs it'll wait till the network is up before it tries | 04:15 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, not cifs | 04:16 |
| justdave | hmm, ought to do the same for that, in theory | 04:16 |
| justdave | that's why it does "mounting local filesystems" and not "mounting filesystems" at the early part of boot. :) | 04:16 |
| ajhtiredwolf | well let me see if this script worked | 04:16 |
| ajhtiredwolf | brb need to reboot | 04:16 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, alright cool looks like that worked for the shut down | 04:20 |
| ajhtiredwolf | justdave, now just gotta get the start up | 04:20 |
| konung | hi | 04:27 |
| konung | I was wondering if somebody could point me to a link: "recommended hardware for ubuntu-mythtv" or something like that? or is there a company that build "ready" to use boxes, or sells kits? | 04:29 |
| konung | thanks in advance | 04:29 |
| konung | I'll stick around | 04:29 |
| formol-qc | hi | 04:40 |
| formol-qc | would it be possible to install GPROFTPD in MythBuntu? | 04:40 |
| justdave | konung: putting "recommended hardware for ubuntu-mythtv" into Google provides some links that look pretty relevant | 05:08 |
| justdave | personally, I've found that Mac Minis make pretty decent standalone front ends (wipe OS X off and put Mythbuntu on them) | 05:09 |
| foxbuntu | konung, I am a core dev on the mythbuntu team and also the owner of www.foxmediasystems.com, I am working on developing ready to use Mythbuntu systems | 05:09 |
| justdave | my backend is a full-on HTPC unit, which I bought pre-built with MythTV already installed on it, but the company I got it from has since gone out of business. | 05:10 |
| hads | Mainly use Intel based hardware myself. | 05:10 |
| konung | justdave: ahh, the sensible thing to do :-) I'll check that out - thanks | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | hads, in testing, intel seems to be my winner for MythTV as well | 05:10 |
| justdave | Mac Minis are Intel-based | 05:10 |
| justdave | (in case you were implying that they weren't - but maybe I'm just reading too much into what you said. :) | 05:11 |
| justdave | and yeah, I'd have to agree. Better codec support and so forth for intel stuff | 05:11 |
| hads | My comment was unrelated to yours | 05:12 |
| justdave | trying to find modern codecs for PPC is hard. :) | 05:12 |
| foxbuntu | well..just have to move over to Gentoo rather than Ubuntu for better PPC support | 05:12 |
| justdave | (I have a PPC laptop I'm using as a front end on one TV until I come up with enough money to buy another mini to replace it) | 05:13 |
| justdave | oh, video drivers is the other thing. | 05:13 |
| foxbuntu | as usually is with everything | 05:14 |
| justdave | that laptop has no working video drivers that'll drive the S-video output on it in Linux | 05:14 |
| justdave | and there's no decent remote-control support on OS X without spending a ton of money on it | 05:14 |
| justdave | (the little white Apple Remotes are almost useless with Myth ;) | 05:14 |
| konung | so guys you don't recommend AMD | 05:15 |
| konung | ? | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | no | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | as is I would use it | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | I do use it | 05:15 |
| justdave | so I had a choice of running it in Linux with no video, or running it in OS X with no remote | 05:15 |
| justdave | so it runs in OS X and the "remote" is a bluetooth keyboard | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | konung, Intel generally is more expenisive but if that doesnt bother you its a better choice, but not to say AMD is bad | 05:16 |
| justdave | so anyone know how to debug usplash? | 05:17 |
| justdave | the splash screen goes away within seconds after the grub menu clears and the entire boot process goes in text mode | 05:17 |
| konung | ok guys thanks | 05:18 |
| justdave | I want my pretty Mythbuntu splash screen. :) | 05:18 |
| foxbuntu | justdave, I built that USplash | 05:18 |
| justdave | I get it during shutdown fine, but not during startup | 05:18 |
| konung | checking out - will check out those links | 05:18 |
| konung | thanks | 05:19 |
| foxbuntu | justdave, thats usually a sign you have something going on at boot up that it wants you to see thus killing the splash | 05:19 |
| justdave | This machine started life on Edgy, and has been upgraded every OS version | 05:19 |
| hads | justdave: bug 205990 | 05:19 |
| Zinn | Bug 205990 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "[hardy] splash screen disappears after a few seconds" [Medium, Triaged] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/205990 | 05:19 |
| justdave | had this problem for a couple revs, so it's not new, I'm just now getting around to trying to deal with it finally. :) | 05:19 |
| justdave | aha | 05:25 |
| justdave | my resume uuid indeed does not match that of the swap partition | 05:25 |
| * justdave fixes that and rebuilds the initramfs | 05:26 | |
| justdave | rebooting... | 05:27 |
| justdave | success, I have a splash screen with a progress meter. :) Thanks hads | 05:27 |
| hads | np | 05:28 |
| foxbuntu | hads, as usual the human bug indexer | 05:31 |

| jphillip | CRXLPY not all aps have menu entries | 16:45 |
| CRXLPY | seems like I have a nack of picking ones that dont | 16:47 |
| CRXLPY | but it is a small thing jphillip, I have other issues to fix | 16:48 |
| CRXLPY | thanks for the reply | 16:48 |
| jphillip | CRXLPY you can just add items yourself | 16:51 |
| === Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker` | ||
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, which app? | 16:52 |
| CRXLPY | most recently gtkdiskfree | 16:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | idk about that app sory | 16:53 |
| CRXLPY | should I have chosen kdiskfree instead? | 16:53 |
| * tgm4883_laptop shrugs | 16:53 | |
| tgm4883_laptop | I use df -h | 16:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ;) | 16:53 |
| CRXLPY | I figured since xfce is gtk I would go gtk when I could | 16:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well if it had a menu entry, then it should add it | 16:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but i dont know if it does | 16:54 |
| CRXLPY | ok, no big deal, just curious | 16:54 |
| NicEXE | I want to install mythtv to a single PC (with Ubuntu 8.10 installation) (I already have a MySQL server) | 16:56 |
| NicEXE | which files do I need? | 16:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | NicEXE, well the frontend, backend, and database packages I suppose | 16:57 |
| CRXLPY | tgm4883_laptop my mobo swap went well for the most part. (at least I dont know what is broken by it yet LOL) | 16:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, thats good. Mine is going less than stellar ;) | 16:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I moved my backend which went fine, but I ordered a case from newegg with a bum power supply | 16:58 |
| CRXLPY | I was surprised I moved from AthXP to Ath64 (NForce2 to NForce3Ultra) | 16:59 |
| wilberfan | morning boys! (& girls) | 16:59 |
| CRXLPY | tgm4883_laptop why didnt your order one with a good psu? :P | 17:00 |
| CRXLPY | what case tgm4883_laptop? | 17:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, forgot to check that on the order form ;) | 17:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | antec fusion black | 17:00 |
| wilberfan | is there a way to set up more than one, erm, profile on the front end? one would use "Internal", another would use "xine", another "mplayer", etc...? | 17:01 |
| jphillip | tgm4883_laptop thats why it was on "sale" | 17:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | jphillip, I guess so ;) | 17:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ran for about 2 days | 17:01 |
| CRXLPY | did you forget to feed the gerbels? | 17:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which was just enough time to move my backend and get the remote and LCD working | 17:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | CRXLPY, no, I kept shoving handfuls of food in there and it just stopped ;) | 17:02 |
| neoneddy | Hello everyone, long time Mythbuntu user, first time chatter | 17:03 |
| wilberfan | lol | 17:03 |
| CRXLPY | the new PETA-ium cpu | 17:03 |
| wilberfan | [rimshot] | 17:03 |
| CRXLPY | thank you, thank you | 17:03 |
| neoneddy | I was thinking today how cool it would be if mythbuntu had a twitter account we could follow | 17:03 |
| CRXLPY | greetings neoneddy | 17:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | neoneddy, thats pretty freedom hating no? | 17:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | we do have an identi.ca account though | 17:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not that it gets used that often | 17:04 |
| neoneddy | ah yes, indenti.ca | 17:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | most of the devs dont' know what to write | 17:04 |
| neoneddy | I need to get on that | 17:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so what do you want to see in that feed? | 17:04 |
| jphillip | you kids and your interweb sites | 17:04 |
| neoneddy | well like when the new 8.10 was relaeased.. I follow it closely, but maybe other cool updates "hey remotes work better now" etc | 17:05 |
| neoneddy | actually, it sounds liek remotes will work better in this new release yes? | 17:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I add stuff to it when I push new releases to mythbuntu-testing | 17:06 |
| neoneddy | there has to be a way to sync the identi.ca and twitter right? | 17:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i thought I heard there was, it's a one way sync though twitter > identi.ca | 17:20 |
| neoneddy | stink ... oh well | 17:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well that would just mean we would post to the twitter acct | 17:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'll look into it | 17:21 |
| CRXLPY | ok, I have poked around enough I feel justified to ask help. I recorded a movie immediately after I swapped the mobo. all seemed fine. I set the cutlist around commercials and transcoded. but now if I try to put it in an ISO to burn it fails. whether I re-encode or not it fails... getting dvr online, will post a pastebin in a sec | 17:22 |
| neoneddy | Question: I have 2 drives in my mythbuntu box, an IDE and a sata, the IDE is the boot drive, but it keeps switching to the sata for boot, like when my wife reboots it. | 17:26 |
| crxdvr | http://pastebin.com/fafc6a02 | 17:26 |
| neoneddy | also, anyone here use the antec fusion case? with the nice VFD ? | 17:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | neoneddy, sorry, mine has the LCD | 17:27 |
| neoneddy | is yours the black one or the silver one? | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | black | 17:29 |
| neoneddy | mine too, maybe I mean the lcd then :-) | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | could be | 17:29 |
| neoneddy | I've had a heck of a time getting it to work right | 17:29 |
| neoneddy | have you had any luck? | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yep | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | other than my power supply dying | 17:29 |
| crxdvr | when I look in mytharchive/temp/logs/mythburn.log I see this... | 17:30 |
| neoneddy | if you don't mind me asking, what did you do to get it working?... I'm using the Phillips Microsoft MCE remote with the USB receiver | 17:30 |
| crxdvr | http://pastebin.com/f4e22bcdf | 17:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | neoneddy, are you using 8.04 or 8.10? | 17:30 |
| neoneddy | 8.04 | 17:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats perfect | 17:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the guide I followed was for 8.04 | 17:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I haven't rewritten it for 8.10 yet though | 17:31 |
| crxdvr | why would changing mobos cause a perm issue? | 17:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | let me grab the link for you | 17:31 |
| neoneddy | member:crxdvr have to deleted your ICE file? in your home folder?.. let me look it up | 17:31 |
| neoneddy | cool | 17:32 |
| neoneddy | crxdvr try this http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=610856&page=2 | 17:33 |
| neoneddy | I had to add a line in the startup script to kill that file for my mythburn to work right | 17:33 |
| neoneddy | .ICEauthority I think it is | 17:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | neoneddy, start at post 12, then follow the instructions. It should work. http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=d3f7c9e7cd0e4eff5dddd6473dd55b86&t=907256&page=2 | 17:34 |
| crxdvr | I never had a problem before the swap (I did not reinstall, just swapped mobo, same drives and everything else) | 17:34 |
| neoneddy | can I keep my MCE IR receiver? | 17:34 |
| neoneddy | I recently unplugged my Imon LCD because I think it kept switching from lirc0 to lirc1 every time it rebooted, and then the remote would quit working, would this solution mean not using the MCE IR receiver ? | 17:37 |
| neoneddy | I was hoping to keep that because it has 2 "blaster" ports to control other devices | 17:38 |
| crxdvr | well since according to that thread, ice has something to do with kde apps (and I use kvirc) I will exit here and delete it | 17:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | neoneddy, yea I don't know yet ;) | 17:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | neoneddy: your mce remote should work with the imon internal receiver | 17:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'm working on that too, but I need a new PS first | 17:38 |
| CRXLPY | u need a ps NOT a pos | 17:39 |
| neoneddy | I plan on rebuilding the box soon with 2 sata drives, I like the antec case, but why only 2 drive bays, seriously | 17:39 |

| * neoneddy following mythbuntu now | 17:40 | |
| CRXLPY | neoneddy as it turns out. that file is not present. so it cant be the .ICEauthority issue | 17:41 |

| neoneddy | crxlpy , hmm, that fixed it for me, oh well | 17:42 |
| CRXLPY | I think you had a different issue | 17:42 |
| neoneddy | probably... anyone have that issue where the dvd's won't play on some PC's or other players? | 17:43 |
| CRXLPY | due to old dvd drives yeah | 17:43 |
| CRXLPY | or cheap media | 17:44 |
| CRXLPY | unless you are burning to non-standard specs | 17:44 |
| neoneddy | as an experiment I once took the ISO that mythburn made, and burned that on my mac, and got the same goofy disc | 17:44 |
| neoneddy | my only work around was to load the burned disc into the mythbuntu box then use SSHFS and pull the data off the disc and reburn on OSX | 17:45 |
| CRXLPY | the dvdrom in my dvr wont even read factory dl, much less dvd-r | 17:45 |
| neoneddy | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=840998 this was the issue I had | 17:49 |
| CRXLPY | welll actualllyyyyy looking again (with both eyes) I saw a ICE file, rm'ed it. now trying to make the iso again | 17:49 |
| neoneddy | off to get lunch.. let me know how that turns out | 17:50 |
| neoneddy | odd that a MB change would cause it IMO | 17:50 |
| CRXLPY | but I successfully made a test iso with a short recording made b4 the mobo swap so I dont know if this will end differently or not | 17:50 |
| CRXLPY | the 3 permission denied errors at the end of mythburn.log make me wonder...... | 17:52 |
| neoneddy | When I get "permission denied" I usually have my wife try | 18:40 |
| CRXLPY | huh? | 18:49 |
| neoneddy | nevermind.. married joke | 18:49 |
| CRXLPY | thought so | 18:49 |
| neoneddy | there is an XKCD about it someplace | 18:49 |
| CRXLPY | more married humor? | 18:51 |
| Seeker` | "make me a sandwich", "sudo make me a sandwich"? | 18:52 |
| neoneddy | yeah that one | 18:52 |
| CRXLPY | neoneddy success! iso created. I guess something did not shutdown/startup properly when I swapped mobos yesterday and left some ICE on the floor | 18:56 |
| neoneddy | YES!.. I came in here for some help and ended up helping someone else | 18:57 |
| CRXLPY | karma works like that | 19:06 |
| CRXLPY | now I am burning it and will see how it works on my player | 19:08 |
| MythbuntuGuest65 | hey everyone ... looking for an video output option from computer to TV (low-def) on a PIII 7333mhz machine ... any suggestions? | 20:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest65 | afk | 20:09 |
| jphillip | MythbuntuGuest65 Nvidia card running XvMC should do pretty well for you, do you have a capture card already? | 20:15 |
| camelreef | good evening everyone from Scotland | 20:55 |
| camelreef | I'm running Hardy 64-bit, Medibuntu, Mythbuntu -fixes, backports, updates, security and up-to-date | 20:57 |
| camelreef | and DVDs do not play | 20:57 |
| camelreef | even ripped ISOs | 20:57 |
| camelreef | or DVDs I could play a few weeks ago | 20:58 |
| camelreef | 2008-11-03 20:51:10.261 NVP: Couldn't find a matching decoder for: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/RETURN_KING_EXT_D1.iso | 20:58 |
| camelreef | 2008-11-03 20:51:10.261 TV Error: StartPlayer(): NVP is not playing after 20000 msec | 20:58 |
| camelreef | please point at my stupidity, laugh, then tell me where I did wrong | 20:59 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | camelreef: maybe your missing libdvdcss or something | 20:59 |
| neoneddy | question: why doesn't mythbunutu jsut come with al lthat stuff pre-installed ready to go? | 20:59 |
| superm1 | questionable legality | 20:59 |
| superm1 | it's easy to activate in mcc, but it cant be turned on by default | 21:00 |
| camelreef | rhpot1991_laptop, libdvdcss2 is there | 21:01 |
| camelreef | keys are there | 21:01 |
| camelreef | same for libdvdnav and libdvdread | 21:01 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | camelreef: stupid question, have you tried rebooting? | 21:02 |
| neoneddy | fair enough | 21:03 |
| camelreef | rhpot1991_laptop, rebooting? Am I runnning Windows? | 21:04 |
| camelreef | I guess I could, but really? | 21:04 |
| camelreef | I'll try, though, but really? | 21:05 |
| hads | Yeah, shouldn't really be nessecary | 21:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest65 | i'm excited to say i can get the database running in my machine ... this whole project seems over my head as i don't have any linux experience | 21:17 |
| camelreef | rhpot1991_laptop, a reboot did it, I'm stunned | 21:19 |
| camelreef | I wish I had restarted the front or backend first | 21:20 |
| camelreef | no reason for a kernel reload | 21:20 |
| camelreef | anyway, if this happens again, that's what I'll do | 21:20 |
| camelreef | and I'll report back | 21:21 |
| camelreef | thanks for the time | 21:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | camelreef: well keep an eye on it I guess, if it happens again we can try to find something | 21:21 |
| camelreef | sure thing | 21:21 |
| camelreef | bbfn | 21:21 |
| hads | rhpot1991_laptop: Fair enough | 21:24 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hads: I'm assuming it was some hung process, easier to just reboot than sit here all day trying to figure out which one | 21:29 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | if he comes back again then we can dig deeper | 21:29 |
| CptFuzzy | i still can't seem to get a fresh install of ubuntu + mythubuntu to work: mysql login problem. i tried the dpkg reconfig thing | 22:35 |
| CptFuzzy | 8.1 | 22:36 |
| CptFuzzy | it's almost like it's not creating the mythtv mysql user or something | 22:37 |
| laga | are you using the alternate disk? | 22:38 |
| CptFuzzy | ubuntu-desktop first, then apt install mythbuntu-desktop | 22:38 |
| versus | hi does one know whether mythbuntu is able to play m2ts files within a folder like VIDEO_TS ? | 23:03 |
| gregL | m2ts is that a blue ray rip? | 23:05 |
| versus | yes | 23:05 |
| versus | this seems to be the only way to play blu rays with linux as far as I know | 23:06 |
| gregL | Yeah, i don't think you can...There is a wiki that give some info on it.. do a search for blue ray mythtv.. | 23:06 |
| gregL | do a search doom9 blueray linux | 23:07 |
| versus | thx Ill have a look | 23:08 |
| gregL | :) | 23:08 |
| versus | looks nice, it seems all I need is mplayer and a special codecs | 23:15 |
| versus | codec not codecs btw.: there seems to be a folder like HVDVD_TS (similar to VIDEO_TS) and mplayer is already implemented into mythtv, so it should be able to make mplayer handle it like the blu ray disc it is (with menus subtitles ...) | 23:18 |
