| MythbuntuGuest44 | hello ever1, i've got a very stupid question. i'm a total noob to mythbuntu. i just got everything setup and all works fine. how do i access external hard drive videos in the myth frontend? | 04:57 |
| CptFuzzy | i'm guessing you setup a mount point then symlink to it | 04:58 |
| MythbuntuGuest44 | when i connect it , it automatically mounts on the desktop | 05:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest44 | (the external hard drive that is) | 05:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest44 | how do i do a symlink? | 05:00 |
| CptFuzzy | ln -s target destination | 05:01 |
| CptFuzzy | destination = /var/lib/mythtv/videos/hd or something like that | 05:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest44 | thanks man | 05:03 |
| MythbuntuGuest44 | got it | 05:03 |
| CptFuzzy | :) | 05:04 |
| SpicyLemon | 1st time setting up a mythTV box and I can't seem to get my card to capture audio. I get sound if I watch a video stream but not when I watch TV. Any advice? | 05:56 |

| homercycles | I'm trashing Vista and installing Mythbuntu shortly. Is it safe to go straight to the x86_64 version or are there "issues" with it? | 08:50 |

| homercycles | I just bought an Hauppauge Nova-T-500 and it works in my Mythdora 5.0 disc I used to test it, but I think Mythbuntu looks better | 08:51 |
| andy_js | Hi, Mythvideo only seems to be able to rip dvd's to iso's. How can I rip them to an mpeg or divx instead? | 13:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | andy_js, you need to change the quality setting. | 15:14 |
| TheBlasphemer | Hmmmz, my new intrepid diskless client image is failing on "Mounting local filesystems" and mounting the NFS shares :S | 15:26 |
| TheBlasphemer | Don't suppose anyone would know what's up ? | 15:27 |
| howdyall | howdyall | 15:51 |
| howdyall | i moved from mythbuntu 8.04 to 8.10 but now there is something with my Marvel raid controller. When I have drives plugged into it, mythbuntu won't even boot, it puts me into a busy box shell. I have since tried a clean install of mythbuntu 8.10, but with no luck... Can I use a 8.04 kernel with the 8.10 mythbuntu? If so, how do I go about getting that via say synaptic, or apt-get. | 15:55 |
| superm1 | first off have you looked for a bug report on this issue? | 15:56 |
| superm1 | it might end up getting fixed by a later 8.10 kernel (there is one in -proposed right now even) | 15:57 |
| howdyall | yes..there is an open one | 15:57 |
| howdyall | really | 15:57 |
| howdyall | it shouldn't hurt to try the proposed then....how do I get to it | 15:58 |
| superm1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 16:02 |
| superm1 | search that page for proposed and it will show you | 16:02 |
| TheBlasphemer | superm1: Isn't it slightly risky to enable the entire proposed repository for just one package ? | 16:10 |
| superm1 | TheBlasphemer, well considering he can't boot at this point... | 16:10 |
| superm1 | howdyall, well actually as i'm looking, i'm not sure the publisher has published the new kernel yet even. you'll probably have to wait until monday for ubuntu archive admins to release it | 16:11 |
| superm1 | howdyall, so your original question, getting a 8.04 kernel on 8.10.. | 16:11 |
| superm1 | the easiest way to achieve that is to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 because the kernels aren't kept in the archive for intrepid. | 16:12 |
| superm1 | you can also add hardy repos to an intrepid install, but that will be asking for some trouble i'd expect | 16:12 |
| howdyall | thats what I thought too...thats why I came to the experts... :) | 16:15 |
| superm1 | i'd say until you sort out what the bug is with 8.10 and your raid controller, just stick with 8.04 then | 16:17 |
| superm1 | it's stable, it works, etc etc | 16:17 |
| howdyall | thats kinda how I was thinking too. Its just a pain to keep reinstalling...LOL | 16:21 |
| MythbuntuGuest19 | hey guys...i just installed mythbuntu 8.10...everything works great except for fetching movie posters...all other information for the movies are fetched except for the poster...any ideas? | 16:29 |
| henrik__ | I'm having terrible problems with my screen setup. Background information: I'm on an old regular widescreen TV (no LCD), We have Pal B as a video format where I live. I have an Nvidia graphic card and the nvidia drivers are loaded. I have without a doubt been trying to get this to work for more then a year. What I want, is that the mythtv shoud change resolution and not streech a 4:3 show to fit the 16:9 and I want th | 16:33 |
| henrik__ | e mythtv app to use the whole screen and not as it is today only about 2/3 so I still can se the meny and the background when the app is running. | 16:33 |
| henrik__ | I'm on the newest nvidia driver fron envyng and on the 8.10 version of mythbuntu | 16:38 |
| MrIch | is there anyone out there who has no sound with a pvr250 card and mythubuntu 0810? | 16:38 |
| TheBlasphemer | Hmmm, on 8.04 my diskless client automatically made an xorg.conf with the openchrome driver and most options all there but commented, how can I get 8.10 to do the same ? | 16:40 |
| MrIch | in which database table can in configure the default sample rate for recordings? | 17:05 |
| howdyall | wow...I've been looking...I cant even install the older version of linux-generic, apt-get and synaptic wont let me. Guess I will have to figure out what was in the linux-generic for 8.04 and download separately | 17:29 |
| camelreef | good evening from Scotland! | 18:14 |
| camelreef | rhpot1991, are you around ? | 18:14 |
| camelreef | anyone for help on mythexport | 18:15 |
| camelreef | ? | 18:15 |
| camelreef | I'm on 8.10, proper Mythbuntu install, updates, upgrades, security and medibuntu, up-to-date | 18:16 |
| camelreef | I'm trying mythexport | 18:16 |
| camelreef | for export to iPod | 18:16 |
| camelreef | it fails, complaining about "Unknown encoder 'mpeg4'" | 18:17 |
| camelreef | the wiki page tells about sourcing ffmpeg from Medibuntu, but they do not carry it | 18:18 |
| camelreef | oh well, for whatever reason ffmpeg with the right compile options has been removed from medibuntu | 18:26 |
| camelreef | -unstripped versions of the ffmpeg support packages are those to | 18:28 |
| camelreef | still got to edit the mythexport script to use libfaac instead of aac | 18:36 |
| camelreef | anyway | 18:59 |
| camelreef | ttyl | 18:59 |
| TheBlasphemer | Bleuh :( | 20:41 |
| TheBlasphemer | I should've made a backup of my hardy install before attempting this nightmare intrepid :/ | 20:56 |
| laga | TheBlasphemer: so, what's the matter? | 21:38 |
| TheBlasphemer | Ah, laga | 21:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | still there? | 21:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | Was monitoring the privmsg screen instead of the channel : | 21:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | :p | 21:47 |
| laga | channel is better in case other people want to chime in :) | 21:47 |
| rhpot1991 | TheBlasphemer: its always good to actually state your problem, people come and go | 21:47 |
| TheBlasphemer | Well, the first problem was that some init script referenced a configure-x.sh script that had been moved, but I was able to fix that myself (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975417 for anyone interested) | 21:48 |
| TheBlasphemer | Second is that I've added some NFS and Samba shares to fstab and installed nfs-common and smbfs, but now at boot time it says the mounting of local filesystem failed (before the NFS stuff is loaded), and afterwards it waits for all the shares for 2 or three minutes only to fail. | 21:49 |
| TheBlasphemer | weird thing is that running sudo mount -a after the system is up and running works without a hitch :/ | 21:50 |
| TheBlasphemer | Was hoping you could give me some hints as to how I could fix that :/ | 21:50 |
| laga | hum | 21:51 |
| laga | can you show me some logs? take a picture of the screen? | 21:52 |
| laga | i assume it's during bootup where you can't take screenshots :) | 21:52 |
| TheBlasphemer | Yeah, it is :) | 21:52 |
| TheBlasphemer | I don't have a camera with me at this point, but I coud boot it up and type it :p? | 21:52 |
| laga | just some context would be good | 21:53 |
| TheBlasphemer | (y) | 21:53 |
| TheBlasphemer | Checking file systems ... | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | [ OK ] | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Setting up LTSP client ... [ OK ] | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Mounting local filesystems [fail] | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Activating swapfile swap [ OK ] | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Configuring network interfaces [ OK ] | 21:54 |
| TheBlasphemer | Starting portmap daemon [ OK ] | 21:55 |
| jobob | howdy guys.... | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | Starting NFS common utilities [ OK ] | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | Waitinf for /var/lib/mythtv/music ... | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | (hangs here) | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | What I personally find weird is that apparently it tries to mount stuff *before* the network interfaces or the NFS utilities are loaded :/ | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | Oh, there it goes again: | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | [fail] | 21:55 |
| TheBlasphemer | * waiting for (each and every mount I have) [fail] | 21:56 |
| laga | i wonder why it's checking local file systems when you don't have any | 21:56 |
| laga | or did you add some? | 21:56 |
| TheBlasphemer | Nope | 21:56 |
| TheBlasphemer | There's no disk in there, at all | 21:56 |
| laga | i'm stumped then.. can you file a bug report? | 21:56 |
| laga | you can use a workaround in the meantime | 21:57 |
| TheBlasphemer | ... | 21:57 |
| TheBlasphemer | How ? | 21:57 |
| laga | ie mount your nfs share via /etc/rc.local | 21:57 |
| laga | but this shouldn't happen | 21:57 |
| rhpot1991 | have you checked your fstab to make sure that isn't in there? | 21:57 |
| laga | also post your fstab in the bug report ;) | 21:57 |
| TheBlasphemer | k, I'll do that | 21:58 |
| TheBlasphemer | As another workaround, is there any way I could get ltsp-build-client to build me a *hardy* image ? | 21:58 |
| TheBlasphemer | (I actually would like to downgrade to hardy completely as intrepid has given me nothing but trouble for now, but I really don't feel like re-installing the entire backend again) | 21:59 |
| laga | sure | 22:06 |
| laga | ltsp-build-client --dist hardy --mythbun... | 22:06 |
| jobob | from this webpage http://www.blushingpenguin.com/mark/blog/?p=24 Should I be doing all the ./setup.sh etc as sudo? | 22:06 |
| jobob | I am trying to set up my Harmony 670 which is pretending to be a Hauppauge PVR 150 in lirc. I have a serial IR blaster thingy hooked up to my machine. | 22:08 |
| laga | why are you trying to build lirc from source then? | 22:10 |
| jobob | just following the webpage...did a search for setting up Hauppauge PVR 150 in google....LOL. I couldn't get it to work from the control center | 22:11 |
| laga | everything you need is in ubuntu already :) | 22:12 |
| laga | just select lirc_serial and the pvr 150? | 22:12 |
| jobob | from where ...sorryh | 22:13 |
| laga | either in the control centre or in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc" | 22:14 |
| laga | i'm not sure *if* it's possible to do it there, though | 22:14 |
| laga | but it might be worth trying :) | 22:14 |
| laga | if it doesn't, select "custom" as the remote and set it up manually in /etc/lirc/ | 22:15 |
| jobob | it looks hung it says : * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail] | 22:19 |
| jobob | * Reloading kernel event manager... [ OK ] | 22:19 |
| jobob | doh..that didnt work | 22:19 |
| jobob | cant even Ctrl-C it....wow..thats impressive | 22:20 |
| laga | weird | 22:20 |
| wolfspirit | ok.. I did a dist-update to 8.10 and now my bdremoted won't work to pass button presses to lircd... can someone tell me what changed with lircd from 8.04 to 8.10? | 22:30 |
| TheBlasphemer | If I have a choice between reinstalling my backend (to downgrade to hardy), or only "reinstall" the diskless image, what would be better ? | 22:32 |
| TheBlasphemer | Option 1 is going to take a lot of work, but with everything I've learned I can prolly set everything up cleaner than it is now | 22:32 |
| TheBlasphemer | Option 2 will be faster, but rather ugly (as it'll be communicating with a newer backend version) | 22:32 |
| laga | protocol and schema version should be the same | 22:33 |
| laga | you can still use the weekly builds | 22:33 |
| wolfspirit | laga: was that a response to me? | 22:34 |
| laga | no, to TheBlasphemer | 22:34 |
| wolfspirit | anyone in here get their ps3 remote working with ubuntu 8.10 | 22:36 |
| jobob | laga: i found what you were talking about...I think i am missing something, I have: Remote: Custom; Driver: nothing; Modules: lirc_dev_lirc_i2c; configuration: lircd.conf.hauppauge; Device: /dev/lirc0; Generate dynamic button mappings is true | 22:38 |
| laga | jobob: driver should be "serial" or "lirc_serial" or "home brew".. don't remember the woring | 22:39 |
| laga | wording* | 22:39 |
| jobob | okay..thanks | 22:40 |
| jobob | why is it when I sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart, I can see that lircd is running; but when i try to run irw to test lircd stops | 23:18 |
| jobob | any ideas. | 23:18 |
| jobob | ? | 23:18 |
| jobob | is there a lirc log? I cant' figure out why its crashing when i start irw | 23:40 |
| laga | jobob: /var/log/daemon.log | 23:51 |
| jobob | you rock laga...where did you find that? | 23:54 |
| laga | in my head.. | 23:56 |
