lagalinux_trojan: try the torrent?14:40
linux_trojantorrent?14:41
lagalinux_trojan: bittorrent14:41
linux_trojanI dont have my router setup for torrent14:41
linux_trojanI dont even have a torrent client14:41
lagalinux_trojan: i can try do reproduce your problem in a few minutes14:41
linux_trojank14:42
linux_trojansomeone in Ubuntu chat tells me the problem is burn slower14:42
linux_trojanbut Desktop and Alternate have different file sizes14:43
lagawell14:43
lagathat's intentional.14:43
lagadoes the md5sum match?14:43
linux_trojanI checked yes they match14:45
linux_trojanintentional?14:45
linux_trojanit must require slower burning14:46
linux_trojan?14:46
linux_trojanHey, I logged out by accident14:47
lagahey14:47
lagathe alternate and the desktop disks are different14:47
lagaso they have different sizes14:48
linux_trojanso the program features are different?14:48
lagaalternate disk is text mode14:48
linux_trojaneekk14:48
lagai recommend the live disk14:48
lagaalternate is broken and will be nuked14:48
linux_trojanyea the first one, Desktop14:48
jphillipgenerally you only want alternate disc if hte live doesn't work for you14:48
linux_trojanwell the checksum definitely matched, so it must be what the other room said?  Just burn it slower?14:49
lagayes14:49
linux_trojanok I will give it a shot, bbl, maybe :)14:50
lagasome burn tools like k3b can verify the burn14:50
linux_trojanyes I might try k3b, thanks14:50

jphillipdepends what you want to capture, encryption is a pain on the HD front19:27
jphillipsomething like a HDHR works really good, but can only get unencrypted qam, normally only your OTA channels19:29

ZeroDamageMy MythBuntu is now set up but doens't play live tv or anything.  Just goes to a blank screen and then back to the menu.  Anything I may be over looking?21:23
tgm4883_laptop!blank%21:23
ZinnIf you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory.  It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory21:23
ZeroDamageZinn, everything is mythtv:mythtv and set to 77521:29
ZeroDamageWould there be anything else that would prevent it from working?21:32
superm1make sure you've ran mythtv-setup then21:37
superm1and gone all the way through each set of options21:37
jphillipZeroDamage make sure its not in your home21:44
ZeroDamage?21:44
ZeroDamageoh, it's not in my /home.  It is in the default of /var/lib/mythtv21:47
ZeroDamageis there a stand alone app that I can use other than mythtv to watch live tv?  I've heard of one before but cannot think of it off hand.21:50
Joe3421MythTV newbie here, I'm trying to import a DVD and it never detects any of the DVD's i put into the drive.  Stays at "no jobs. checking and/or waiting for DVD".  The DVD drive is seen by the system though.  Am i missing a step?21:55
Ward1983i have a small delay on my video when i press a button on my remote, i use a simple homemade serial receiver22:00
Ward1983can i somehow fix it, i souldnt mind if the remote had a bit of delay rather then the video22:00
ZeroDamageAny other Ideas before I go on and try out Linux MCE?22:02
mandjeyou should try out linuxMCE anyway. might be it rocks for you.22:05
javatexandoh...my upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 no worky..22:15
javatexanI am getting a give up waiting for root device22:15
javatexanerror22:15
javatexanafter the final reboot after the upgrade is done22:16
ZeroDamagemythtv def isn't  as easy as it should be.22:25
ZeroDamageit has  ways to go to replace windows mce22:25
ZeroDamageafter all the shit, it still will not work.22:26
javatexanokay it says that the root does not exist23:20
javatexanand I am at a shell prompt.  I looked at /proc/partitions and the partitions are still there..but it cant find the autocreated root=uuid=blahblah  how do I set it to hdc1 from this shell prompt at boot?23:21
javatexancan i burn the 8.10 mythbuntu and do a recover of some kind?23:23
superm1you can find uuid's by ls -alh /dev/disk/by-uuid23:23
superm1your UUID should never change though unless you go mucking with your partition table23:24
javatexani think it was the old way and when I upgraded to 8.10, it changed it but it made a booboo23:24
javatexanall I did was do the upgrade to 8.10 in the update manager23:25
javatexanI promise :)23:25
superm1well that's... scary then23:26
javatexani agree23:26
superm1so you've got two things you can try23:27
javatexanalll I said during the upgrade was yes I want to keep the smb.conf as is23:27
javatexanLOL23:27
superm1while you're at that shell, go ahead and try to mount /dev/sda1 or whatever your drive is at /mnt23:27
superm1if you can get it mounted you can try to recover.  if not, burn a live disk and you'll do it from there23:27
javatexanokay.,...hold on ... its in the other room23:28
javatexanokay that didn't work...it cant find fstab23:31
superm1so boot off a live disk23:31
superm1and you can do this diagnosis from the live disk23:31
javatexanokay.23:31
javatexanthats what i thought23:32
Joe3421I'm trying to import a DVD and it never detects any of the DVD's i put into the drive.  Stays at "no jobs. checking and/or waiting for DVD".  The DVD drive is seen by the system though.  Am i missing a step?23:32
superm1you might need to have libdvdcss2 installed Joe342123:33
Joe3421hmm, isthat on the 8.10 CD?23:36
Joe3421i did a advanced install and did virtually everythting optional23:37
tgm4883_laptopJoe3421, no it is not, it is activatable from mythbuntu-control-centre though23:37
Joe3421thanks i'll give it a shot.  I'm one of those die hard windows people trying out someting new for a HTPC :)23:39
Joe3421okay i installed libdvdcss2 and no change, still dosn't import DVDs.  what should i look at next?23:53
