[00:10] i cannot get my pvr-150 to work :s [00:10] the system finds the card and everything [00:10] but when i scan for channels i get no signal [00:10] 0% signal strength [00:11] the cable is ifne i tested it into the tv which showed an image [00:11] any ideas? [00:11] !help pvr-150 [00:11] !help [00:11] 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 [00:11] !pvr-150 [00:11] Sorry I don't know about pvr-150 [00:12] !ivtv [00:12] Sorry I don't know about ivtv [00:12] :o [00:12] * Ward1983 is shocked [00:12] !hauppauge [00:12] Sorry I don't know about hauppauge === havocc is now known as zerodamage [00:35] Ward1983, what version of ubuntu are you using? What did you set your card up as in mythtv-setup? [00:37] perhaps you didn't set the correct broadcast type for your area === rhpot1992 is now known as rhpot1991 [00:37] Anyone recommend any particular capture card. I've honestly been researching all day and haven't found anything that I can order and know it will work for sure. Has to be PCI (not express) and hopefully support both analogue and digital but digital not required. I would hope it will work out of the box or very easily. [00:38] tgm4883, mythbuntu 8.10 [00:38] pvr-150/250/350/500 [00:38] tgm4883, i set my card up as a pvr-x / pvr-500 [00:38] ZeroDamage: ^ [00:38] tgm4883, and /dev/video1 [00:39] they are end of life though, so hard to find now [00:39] rhpot1991, lol most of the times that stuff is suported best [00:39] besides i can view tv with a program and ivtv-tune [00:39] so its not the card [00:39] its mythtv [00:40] doesnt find channels if i scan [00:40] check the broadcast type [00:40] where? [00:40] mythtv-setup [00:40] what part of it lol? [00:40] just so i cannot make a mistake [00:40] I think its on the input page, not positive though [00:40] ok thanx [00:40] ill chedck it out after my smoke [00:40] rhpotl1991 That's just it. The one card I see a lot of is the hvr 1600 but it seems to use different chips and it is not supported too well. [00:41] ie been trying for ohurs now so i need alittle break first :) [00:41] hope that does not seem ungratefull lol [00:45] rhpot1991, i logged in trough vnc onto my other box running mythbuntu, but i cannot fidn anything liek it [00:45] i can only set the frequency [00:46] Ward1983: give you choices like us-bcast? [00:46] yeah i set try all there to make sure [00:47] thats called the cahnnel frequency table [00:47] thats why i didnt find it :p [00:47] Is there any card out there that isn't EOL that I can easily buy that will work more or less out of the box? [00:47] I would rather not have to install something else on my Ubuntu machine just to get the pvr stuff working [00:47] do you also have a pvr ? [00:48] I've got two consecutive recordings on the same channel being assigned to different tuners [00:48] Seeker' what are you using for cards? [00:48] man this is depressing lol [00:49] i wish there was a normal prog that actually worked normally to wach tv [00:49] mythtv never just works [00:49] ZeroDamage: the hvr-1600 is supposed to work in intrepid fairly easily, might want to search the forums and see what people are reporting on it [00:49] second card i try second tiume same problem [00:49] ZeroDamage: Nova T 500 [00:49] i dont even remember what the problem was with the other card, i got it fixed after ike half a year [00:51] Ward1983, shouldn't it be /dev/video0 [00:52] tgm4883, no thats my old MJPEG capturecard [00:52] Seeker' that seems to be a UK based card. :) I am in the US. [00:52] a DC10 :) [00:52] V4L [00:52] ok [00:52] that one doesnt have a tuner [00:52] its from 1998 :) [00:53] its PERFECT because i use mjpeg to VJ :) [00:53] this thing even outputs it lol [00:53] all hardware :) [00:53] Its been a while since I set up my 150, maybe you chose the wrong inputs? [00:53] very unlikely [00:53] it lets you pick between the svideo/tuner/etc [00:53] yes thats tuner [00:53] (im not retarded :p) [00:54] try choosing usbroadcast for the frequency [00:54] i live in belgium :s [00:54] heh, or not :) [00:54] whatever is appropriate for your area then [00:55] europe-west [00:55] tried that too [00:55] and try all [00:55] both of those [00:56] u in the US? [00:56] yep [00:56] dotn forget to vote then :) [00:56] I wont :) [00:56] i really hope o bama wins to be honest [00:56] tgm4883_laptop: will forget I hope :) [00:56] * rhpot1991 may get banned [00:57] from ehre or the us lol? [00:58] that depends who is watching [00:58] lol [01:01] pfffffffffffff [01:01] are there any mythtv alternatives? [01:01] i only know of mediaportal but thats windoze only [01:01] dont really feel like buying a windows license [01:04] !politics [01:04] All talk of politics is off limits in this channel. If you must talk about it please go to #off-topic or ##politics . Talking about it further is a bannable offense. If you need further info, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:04] aaaah lol [01:05] didnt know that, and meant no harm :) [01:06] in most channels its ok unless it starts to become a fight [01:06] anyway what can be my problem? [01:06] being the only republican on the internet I have to keep a close eye on it [01:06] ie looked everywhere [01:06] lol [01:07] i have no problem with anyones opinion :) (but i realise not everyone is like me so i understand the rule) [01:17] looks like 8.10 fixed some of my issues [01:28] lol it doesnt work with my capturecard for some sick reason [01:44] anyone still awake in here? [02:28] has anyone tried installing mythbuntu on top of ubuntu 8.10? i can't seem to get it to install/setup the mysql stuff... [03:33] So, anyone using 8.10 w/ static IP finding that since it is handled by the NM applet now instead of /etc/network/interfaces, the IP isn't established early enough and mysql doesn't have anything to bind to, and fails? [03:36] iamlindoro_: you can still configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [03:39] In fact, Intrepid should still ship with "unmanaged" as the default mode. See /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian [03:40] tritium, It does not AFAICT [03:40] all interfaces defaulted to managed here, and changed to interfaces went ignored [03:40] er changes [03:40] both in the GUI (reset themselves after reboot) and in /etc/network (ignored altogether) [03:42] Possible to get the NM stuff to "take" if you uncheck "System Setting," but those settings get set up too late in init for mysql [03:44] iamlindoro_: that's interesting [03:52] how do i setup the mysql part of a fresh mythtv setup? no matter what i do, it can't connect to mysql [03:54] My remote is all set up except the Back button doesn't work. [03:54] It works fine in irw. [03:55] When I try to use the MythTV frontend to reassign the key, it just sits there waiting forever for a keypress. [03:55] It sees all other keys but for some reason not the Back key. [03:56] Any ideas what I can do? [04:00] bronson: check the stop button [04:01] you can modify ~/.lirc/mythtv to fix it if thats the case [04:02] CptFuzzy:$ mysql -u root -p < your path to /database/mc.sql [04:02] rhpot1991, the stop button works great. [04:02] For some reason my changes to .lirc/mythtv don't seem to take hold. [04:03] Do I need to restart the front end or the whole computer? [04:03] you need to restart the frontend, possibly gdm [04:03] foxbuntu: ^ [04:03] not gdm [04:03] lirc then the frontend [04:04] I normally do gdm to restart my frontend remotely, might be what I'm thinking [04:05] cool, trying [04:08] rhpot1991, yeah, its easier than logging in via vnc or something else [04:08] why is lircd not running on my mythbuntu 8.10 :s [04:09] i setup a remote in mythbuntu control centre [04:09] but lircd is just not even running lol [04:09] Ward1983, did you try to restart it? [04:10] foxbuntu, i restarted my system after applying those settings to make sure and it still didnt come up, i tried to start it manuallt which worked, only irw didnt start then, that just started a new prompt line [04:10] foxbuntu, that what i tried in a nushell [04:10] its a creative breakout box btw [04:11] from a audigy 2 [04:11] Ward1983, from ssh: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:12] foxbuntu, but i cannot do that every time i boot the system :s [04:14] Ward1983, shouldnt need to, got all the updates? post this file to pastebin: /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [04:14] foxbuntu, * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail] [04:14] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] [04:14] * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [ OK ] [04:14] yep got all the updates [04:14] ok will pastebin [04:16] http://pastebin.com/m52eccbd5 [04:17] foxbuntu, http://pastebin.com/m758ca7bf [04:18] foxbuntu, could line 6 of the second link be the problem? [04:18] lol [04:19] Ward1983, no [04:19] damn [04:19] why would lircd not start if i setup a remote :s [04:20] Ward1983, are you sure it wasnt running? [04:21] foxbuntu, what command would make sure? [04:21] ill do a complete reboot to make sure [04:21] reboot clean and then run: ps ax | grep lirc [04:22] pastebin those results [04:23] while its rebooting: do you think 512MB DDR (and a Athlon xp 2800+) will do? [04:23] i used to run mythtv on my new rig [04:23] a core2duo witj 4gb ram [04:24] Ward1983, you doing any HD Video? [04:24] nope [04:24] and only analog [04:24] but im planning to use mythweb again [04:24] with flv [04:24] and streaming full quality in the homenetwork [04:25] foxbuntu, 19947 pts/0 R+ 0:00 grep lirc [04:26] Ward1983, ok so lirc isnt running [04:26] yep like i was allready fairly afraid of [04:26] hmm [04:27] do i need the mythtv-backend for mythbuntu? or is that just for PVR functionality? [04:27] where is that stuff located? [04:27] CptFuzzy, it requires at least one backend [04:27] foxbuntu could i manually set it to start lircd? where is the file located i should alter? [04:28] Ward1983, something isnt working right, is this a clean install or an upgrade to 8.10 from a previous version? [04:29] foxbuntu, clean install, and everyting seemed normal i used ubuntu, debian and mythbuntu before, did tons of installations so that part was all fine [04:29] the mythtv settings are good too, tuner works etc [04:29] why is it the mythbuntu-desktop meta-package doesn't install it? this makes no sence [04:29] *sense [04:30] thats the desktop alone i think [04:30] lol [04:30] i use mythbuntu on my old box now because i wanted a allways on tv server :) [04:30] so everyone can use it [04:33] foxbuntu, any more ideas lol? [04:33] this is one retarded problem [04:33] i found a bug for 8.04 though [04:33] or 7.10 im not sure let me find the link [04:34] foxbuntu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/123557 [04:34] Ward1983, you could just try reinstalling lirc and reconfiguring the remote to see what happens [04:35] !bug 123557 [04:35] Bug 123557 in lirc (Ubuntu) "lirc with livedrive on audigy2 zs" [Undecided, Fix Released] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/123557 [04:35] foxbuntu, whats the best way to do that in mythbuntu? [04:35] Ward1983, : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall lirc [04:35] thanx [04:36] * Ward1983 is restarting again [04:38] hi all [04:38] foxbuntu, its still not runnign after a reboot, reinstall went fine [04:38] * Ward1983 goes insane [04:38] hi planeracer [04:38] I have a problem with myth install. Can someone help me? [04:38] hi [04:39] whats the problem? [04:39] i probleble cant help but if peopel dunno the problem they cant help you :) [04:40] Im installing 8.04 all goes ok, but at the end it shows me install screen again [04:40] 8.10 is out you know that right? [04:40] yes i saw it [04:41] ah ok [04:41] but what the problem with 8.04? [04:41] you mean after isntalling and setting up it shows you the installscreen again? [04:41] os after the files and everything are copied? [04:42] yup, not first install screen. it looks diff. but it shows me 2 icons [04:42] just reboot from harddisk [04:42] i did [04:42] got a error or something? [04:42] it goes to terminal. [04:43] i had that once, but i rebooted again and it was fixed [04:43] no resume image , doing normal boot [04:43] thats no error [04:43] ok [04:44] maybe if nothing else is possible make a pic of your screen [04:44] and post it somewhere at some free pic hosting [04:44] so peopel can see the xact error [04:44] i tryed maybe 5-6 times to reinstall [04:44] hopefully [04:45] now i reboot, is froze it [04:45] froze at no resume image doing normal boot? [04:45] thats weird [04:46] froze at mythbunty at the screen [04:46] sure its frozen? [04:46] it takes a bit time to boot [04:46] it stopped, progres bar not moving [04:47] damn, it use to work ok. [04:47] if your sure you can go ask in ubuntu aswell if nobody replies here, they should be able to help you aswell as its a startup problem and probably unrelated to mythtv [04:47] also try 8.10 [04:47] any diff between them? [04:48] oh something else [04:48] try booting in recovery mode [04:48] when you see the grub message to press escape blabla, press escpe and choose recovery mode [04:48] which one i have to download, live cd image or other one? [04:49] desktop-proper [04:49] altenate? [04:49] well im sure desktop and proper are in the name lol [04:49] dunno what comp do you have? [04:49] ram and cpu [04:49] 64 dual [04:49] athlon [04:49] just the regular one then [04:50] 1g memory 160g hard [04:50] i presume the alternate is the same as the ubuntu alternate cd [04:50] should mather much anyway [04:50] shouldNT [04:50] it use to work ok. but now [04:51] here lirc doesnt work [04:51] the rest works fine [04:51] im think maybe some prob with memory? [04:51] pc memory [04:51] test it? [04:51] you can test it from the mythbuntu cd even :) [04:51] its an option in the menu [04:51] itsll test you ram [04:52] your [04:52] i did for 18 hours [04:52] oh also test your cd while your there anyway :) [04:52] LOL 18hours [04:52] your rma is fine then lol [04:52] :) [04:52] was no errors [04:52] it was still going [04:53] lol [04:53] what yo choosed on partitioning., guided? [04:53] manual or so? [04:54] your partitioning is fine if it starts to boot [04:54] if you get past grub that part is fine [04:54] im trying to install again [04:55] you did that 5 or 6 times [04:55] its not gonna help lol [04:55] i know [04:55] just wait for help or try #ubuntu [04:55] reisntalling would be wasting time [04:55] in the meantime you can download 8.10 and test that one [04:56] any extra thinks init/ [04:56] ? [04:57] or more stable? [05:00] dunno what you mean [05:01] aaaah [05:01] well they wouldnt have released it if it wasnt changed [05:02] it formats hd now, will see it will go or not [05:04] im wondering why lircd is not running when i boot [05:04] its killing me lol [05:06] LOL [05:06] Did you really laugh out loud then? [05:07] yep [05:07] How odd. [05:07] luckily im not at the point that im pissed off at it yet [05:11] i foudn something [05:11] as soon as something tries to use lirc, lircd stops running lol [05:11] if i restart it its running fine [05:11] then i start irw [05:11] which gives me a new lien with a prompt and if i then check licrd is no longer running [05:11] same if i start mythtv [05:12] what a retarded problem [05:12] Ward1983, what lirc module are you trying to use again? [05:13] ah yes, lirc_i2c [05:13] foxbuntu, not sure how you mean that but the hardware was a creative breakout box [05:13] foxbuntu, yes and another moodule aswell [05:13] lirc_dev [05:14] does lirc have logs that might tell me what is going on? [05:14] Ward1983, try starting lirc up and then: sudo modprobe lirc_i2c [05:15] foxbuntu, same problem if i then start irw [05:15] no more lircd lol [05:15] this is sooooo stupid [05:15] Ward1983, did you try what I said? [05:15] foxbuntu, yes [05:16] foxbuntu, i did what oyu said and then started irx to check if it worked and it didnt :( [05:16] pastebin the output of: dmesg | grep lirc [05:16] irw i meant [05:17] foxbuntu, http://pastebin.com/m5989491b [05:17] did anyone uses wireless keyboard with myth? [05:17] Ward1983, and this: ls /dev/lirc* [05:17] used? [05:18] planeracer, I know people have [05:18] foxbuntu, only /dev/lircd [05:18] foxbuntu, if i restart it there would be a device though [05:18] i just got 1 , dont wanna work with it [05:18] Ward1983, restart lirc and look again [05:19] install. whent ok now, that is crazy [05:19] foxbuntu, i was wrong no device [05:19] Ward1983, then thats your problem [05:19] foxbuntu, yes but why is there no device? [05:20] the module for the your IR receiver is failing or is the wrong one for your hardware [05:20] do some googling to find more info on your specific hardware and lirc [05:21] foxbuntu, that is my hardware http://www.tweakers.net/ext/i.dsp/1004913152.jpg [05:21] foxbuntu, it is a creative breakout box [05:21] foxbuntu, google told me to use that driver [05:21] Ward1983, ok, is it supported by lirc? [05:21] :S [05:21] i selected it from the list [05:21] so yes [05:22] i go to mythbuntu control centre [05:22] i click infrared devices [05:22] its in that list [05:22] foxbuntu, ffs sorry apperantly it was still set wrong thats probably why i didnt get a device.... [05:23] i set it off to see if it helped to re enable it [05:23] and it was still off [05:24] foxbuntu, nope still no device :( [05:24] wtf can this be [05:25] Ward1983, sorry dont know anything about that IR setup, would suggest google/forums to find out more about it and lirc [05:26] allready tried that :( thanx anyway [05:26] until you can get a module to load and create the device node lircd wont start [05:26] google todl me it was supported so i put it into that pc [07:41] hey guys [07:43] i just installed mythbuntu on a 3 year old toshiba laptop [07:46] all was working fine until i updated the system [07:47] and now i have no sound [07:48] can anyone please help me? [07:49] what version did you install? [07:50] i've tried all the forums and all the recommended steps [07:50] no 1? [07:50] 8.04, 8.10? [07:54] 8.10 [07:56] hum [07:56] try posting in the forums, i have no clue about that one [07:59] oh ok, is there a way to roll back updates? it was just working fine about an hour ago [08:00] you'd have to find out which package broke it [08:00] and with the update it killed it [08:00] can you check sound levels in alsamixer? [08:01] also, if there's an M below a mixer then it's "muted" [08:06] so it should say 00 under the mixer rather than MM? [10:57] I was wondering if Mythtv is easy to install and configure? just point and click? [11:05] no, it's not [11:13] does it come packaged with UBUNTU or is it a different OS? [12:25] Hi, can i ask something plz [12:26] has anybody noticed that when you install Ubuntu over mythbuntu 8.10 (this is through the mythbuntu control centre, when u click on the 'ubuntu-desktop' option.), the amount of new packages installed is significantly less than when u do the same thing in mythbuntu 8.04 [12:29] ? [12:29] btw, core packages like pidgin and open office to name a few are missed out [12:29] i think in 8.04, 800-ish extra packages were installed but in 8.10 its more like 100-ish [12:32] hey quick qn, hoe come your iso release is smaller than the official release. Isnt mythbuntu just ubuntu + mythTV [12:32] plus a bit of integration smarts [12:32] i think cos mythbuntu doesnt include openoffice ando other nonessential stuff [12:32] non-essential for a media-centre that is [12:33] okay so it's nothing low level it'll only be userspace stuff like openoffice etc that will not b there [12:33] think so [12:34] hmm might dlow ubuntu and then add mtyhbuntu retrospcetively unless anyone knows a list of what exactly is missing [12:34] yes [12:35] because i think the option to add a standard ubuntu install to mythbuntu is broken [12:35] cos i did it and it installed gnome ok, but missed out loads of other packages compared to 8.04 [12:35] like openoffice etc. [12:36] oh really, u saying that one cant dload/install 8.10 and then add mythbuntu atm? [12:37] no you can [12:38] what im saying is that within MYTHBUNTU 8.10, there is an option to convert/upgrade it, to a standard ubuntu installation, i.e. installing gnome and all the other packages, whilst still retaining mythtv [12:39] but i think its slightly broken in 8.10, as loads of packages didnt install [12:39] they werent even marked for download [12:39]
