| ali1234 | wolfspirit: no matter what you do, you'll still need to use lirc | 00:01 |

| noii | Seeker`: yeah, rocking! the switch to master fixed the volume issue | 00:01 |
| noii | too | 00:01 |
| Seeker` | noii: :D | 00:01 |
| noii | Seeker`: thanks muchly for the help. i'm off to bed. | 00:01 |
| Seeker` | noii: not a problem - only reason I know this stuff is that I spent a few hours on it on saturday with my brothers computer | 00:02 |
| wolfspirit | hey ali1234... I got it working with cakemote! now I just have to understand how to configure the buttons a certain way | 00:42 |
| frozenskunk | Can someone please help me figure out how to get my dish network codes to transmit using a commandIR mini? I can transmit my Hauppage codes just fine, and receive the dish codes, but I can't transmit the dish codes. Thanks! | 02:01 |
| anthrax | having problems with mysql can somebody help me? | 02:08 |
| killerbeesateme | Hello, can anyone lend a hand with a PVR150 thats modules load correctly, has nodes, but shows a "failed to open" in mythsetup? | 02:16 |
| anthrax | hmm | 02:17 |
| anthrax | having major problems to get this program started | 02:17 |
| anthrax | cannot log in to mysql | 02:18 |
| frozenskunk | your msysql password is automatically set, have you looked it up and useing the right one? | 02:18 |
| anthrax | i look for this..just a moment | 02:19 |
| anthrax | is this in mysql.txt | 02:20 |
| frozenskunk | I'm not sure, it's been a long time since I did anything with that. It seems like it might be in you frontend setup? | 02:21 |
| killerbeesateme | I do see it in mysql.txt. I haven't changed the random one that was generated during install | 02:21 |
| anthrax | it is the same typed in the box | 02:21 |
| frozenskunk | ok, just so long as you are using that random one, when I had problems, I was using the one that I thought it was set to, not the automatic random one... | 02:21 |
| killerbeesateme | when trying to add the tuner in mythtv setup it shows as "Failed to Open". i have a /dev/video0 entry and ivtv is loaded | 02:22 |
| killerbeesateme | yea, this was working on a prior setup, I just changed hardware, and on the reinstall it didn't function. Same motherboard though. | 02:22 |
| killerbeesateme | I checked dmesg, and the cards being initialized properly, it just doesn't want to show up in mythsetup, even if i type /dev/video0 | 02:23 |
| anthrax | mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.2" identified by "mythtv"; | 02:23 |
| anthrax | setting privileges ^ | 02:23 |
| anthrax | nothing happend | 02:23 |
| anthrax | if i enter some settings there will popup the window....cannot find (ping) database host on the network | 02:25 |
| Ward1983 | how can i log in as the mythtv user? i need to rn zsnes once with my mythtv user to get my gamepad buttons calibrated | 02:27 |
| Ward1983 | i copied the configs which didnt work | 02:31 |
| Ward1983 | i synlinked them | 02:31 |
| Ward1983 | didnt work aswell | 02:31 |
| Ward1983 | damn thats not possible | 02:33 |
| Ward1983 | ffs | 02:33 |
| Ward1983 | i would LOVED to have a flag to set the configdir now... | 02:33 |
| killerbeesateme | if you pop into a root shell by doing "sudo -s" and then "su mythtv" that should do it | 02:34 |
| killerbeesateme | Ward1983 | 02:34 |
| Ward1983 | killerbeesateme, ill try thanx | 02:34 |
| Ward1983 | killerbeesateme, | 02:35 |
| Ward1983 | # su mythtv | 02:35 |
| Ward1983 | 02:35 | |
| Ward1983 | $ | 02:36 |
| Ward1983 | lol thats what i get then | 02:36 |
| Ward1983 | only a $ | 02:36 |
| killerbeesateme | can you cd into the directory you need? | 02:36 |
| killerbeesateme | or run whatever you need to run? | 02:36 |
| Ward1983 | yes it seems to run fine | 02:37 |
| Ward1983 | well | 02:37 |
| Ward1983 | so far | 02:37 |
| Ward1983 | hard to type in, some keys do freaky stuff | 02:38 |
| Ward1983 | liek tab lol | 02:38 |
| Ward1983 | no tab completing now | 02:38 |
| killerbeesateme | does mythtv have a home dir? | 02:38 |
| killerbeesateme | that may be why some of that stuff doesn't work quite right. you are in a mythtv shell though so you are operating under the same permissions and config files | 02:40 |
| Ward1983 | ah ffs lol | 02:40 |
| Ward1983 | stupid !@#!#!#!@ | 02:40 |
| killerbeesateme | ffs? | 02:41 |
| Ward1983 | it cannot open any gui software.... | 02:41 |
| Ward1983 | ffs / for fucking sakes | 02:41 |
| killerbeesateme | are you on the machine, or remoting into it/ | 02:41 |
| Ward1983 | i might be able to copy the folder now though | 02:41 |
| Ward1983 | killerbeesateme, remoting but trough vnc so its kindof the same | 02:41 |
| Ward1983 | ill just try to copy my other condigs | 02:42 |
| Ward1983 | from the other user | 02:42 |
| killerbeesateme | you could always do that with root and chown it to mythtv too | 02:42 |
| Ward1983 | yes mythtv has a home dir | 02:42 |
| Ward1983 | /home/mythtv/ | 02:42 |
| Ward1983 | i dunno anything about commandline + rights | 02:42 |
| killerbeesateme | if you want to change the owner to a file to another user its "chown user file" or if its a directory and you want everything in it to change "chown -R user file" | 02:43 |
| Ward1983 | cool starting zsnes allready made the dir, but because it couldnt start i couldnt calibrate yet | 02:45 |
| Ward1983 | aha | 02:45 |
| Ward1983 | thats actually change ownership???? | 02:45 |
| killerbeesateme | yea | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | if yes then THANX | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | lol | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | ive been wondering how to do that for a while | 02:46 |
| Ward1983 | i do all the other filerights with a file-explorer | 02:46 |
| killerbeesateme | ahh. i know in koqueror you can change users and groups in the gui | 02:47 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: You can use chmod for changing permissions from the command line | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | i knew chmod allready | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | but i dunno how to use it | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | i could look it up though | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | i vaguely remember something about numbers | 02:48 |
| Ward1983 | but not how they work | 02:49 |
| frozenskunk | chomd --help, basically + or - either r w or x | 02:49 |
| Ward1983 | brb lets see if it worked | 02:49 |
| frozenskunk | numbers can do it, but you have to think about them, r w and x are easy | 02:49 |
| Ward1983 | numbers are weird | 02:49 |
| Ward1983 | at least those numbers | 02:49 |
| frozenskunk | yeah, there is a scheme to them that I can never remember | 02:50 |
| frozenskunk | Can someone please help me figure out how to get my dish network codes to transmit using a commandIR mini? I can transmit my Hauppauge codes just fine, and receive the dish codes, but I can't transmit the dish codes. Thanks! | 02:54 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, you need to be using lirc 0.8.4a for the mini to work properly | 02:56 |
| foxbuntu | and the commandir userspace driver not the kernel module | 02:56 |
| frozenskunk | I have upgraded to the superm version | 02:56 |
| foxbuntu | 0.8.3pre1 or 0.8.4a? | 02:56 |
| frozenskunk | 3 pre1 I think | 02:57 |
| foxbuntu | ok, cuz superm1 just published the deb for 0.8.4a version on his PPA tonight | 02:57 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I'm not that recent, I did mine last week one day. How do I upgrade to the newest? | 02:58 |
| foxbuntu | just go pull the latest from his ppa here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~superm1/+archive, you need to remove lirc first then install this version and select the CommandIR (Userspace) in the setup | 02:59 |
| frozenskunk | just double checked, and I do have the 3-pre1 version | 02:59 |
| foxbuntu | sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc | 02:59 |
| foxbuntu | which will alert you that it will remove mythbuntu-control-centre, mythbuntu-desktop and some others, just take note of them and reinstall them after you install lirc again | 03:00 |
| frozenskunk | Ok, let me try that real quick | 03:00 |
| frozenskunk | (unrelated) is there an easy way to copy/paste into a remote desktop window? | 03:00 |
| foxbuntu | remote desktop as in rdp to windows? | 03:01 |
| frozenskunk | rdp to my myth box | 03:01 |
| foxbuntu | so VNC | 03:01 |
| frozenskunk | yes | 03:01 |
| foxbuntu | no, usually VNC does not map clipboards | 03:01 |
| frozenskunk | that's what I thought, but I always secretly hope I just haven't figured it out yet... ;-) | 03:02 |
| Ward1983 | killerbeesateme, frozenskunk still not working | 03:06 |
| Ward1983 | im getting extremely confused here | 03:06 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: while removing lirc, I got a warning that /etc/lirc wasn't empty so it wasn't removed. Do I want to delete that manually before installing the new version? | 03:09 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: what happened after doing that? | 03:10 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, you can, its prob just backup data however | 03:10 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, same thing as i allways had, no gamepads | 03:11 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, maybe its permissions for the gamepad? | 03:11 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: How do I install the new version, when I did the 3pre-1 I had to do it command line, can I use synaptic for this new version? | 03:11 |
| foxbuntu | no | 03:11 |
| foxbuntu | same process as the other | 03:11 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: what kind of gamepad is it? Can you see it in dev list? | 03:12 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, i got 2 gamepads, now once more to be very clear: they work fine when i start zsnes from a terminal | 03:12 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, they DONT work when i start them from mythtv | 03:12 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, I had superm1 build it for intrepid for now, its actually the build for jaunty | 03:12 |
| frozenskunk | sudo apt-get install lirc-0.8.4a-0unbuntu1~intrepid1 ?? | 03:12 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, i did copy .zsnes from my homedir to the mythtv homedir | 03:12 |
| Ward1983 | and changed the ownership to mythtv | 03:13 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, no | 03:13 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sudo dpkg -i lirc-0.8.4a-0unbuntu1~intrepid1.deb | 03:13 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, you will need to download it first | 03:13 |
| frozenskunk | so I don't have to add the ppa to my sources.list? | 03:14 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, so it cannot be permissions for /dev/input/js0 and js1 ? | 03:14 |
| foxbuntu | no, just download the deb matching your architecture (amd64/i386) from the link I gave you | 03:15 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: I was just getting ready to ask if you run zsnes from a terminal as the mythtv user if it would work? | 03:15 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, no thats the only difference, i run it as me own user | 03:15 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu, ok, that's a little different than I did the last time. | 03:15 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, i thought that was clear sorry | 03:15 |
| frozenskunk | no big deal, I was just thinking down the wrong path (as usual) | 03:16 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, ok, well in any case :) | 03:16 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: I can't seem to figure out where the link to the .deb package is on the web site, what am I missing? | 03:20 |
| foxbuntu | expend the lirc 0.8.4 package and you will see the links for it | 03:20 |
| frozenskunk | thanks, not sure how I missed that, must be clicking faster than I | 03:21 |
| frozenskunk | Im reading | 03:21 |
| frozenskunk | is lirc-0.8.4a-0unbuntu1~intrepid1.deb the only file I need to get? | 03:23 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, should be | 03:26 |
| frozenskunk | ok, just installed that, it never gave me an option for userspace driver | 03:26 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, well now i just launched zsnes with a gui and tried calibrating, only i cannot seem to calibrate any axis, not even dpad, buttons work fine though :s | 03:26 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: baby steps! At least you know you can see it now... | 03:27 |
| Ward1983 | true but im completely stuck | 03:28 |
| Ward1983 | this doesnt make any sense at all anymore | 03:28 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: I feel your pain, I've been trying to get these remote controls working again for over 6 months now!!! | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | :o | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | 6 months | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | whats the problem? | 03:31 |
| Ward1983 | i jsut setup lircd a couple of days ago | 03:32 |
| frozenskunk | something with lirc I think, they worked fine under gutsy, the hardy upgrade killed them, I think I'm finallly getting close (THANKS FOXBUNTU!) | 03:32 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: never got an option for userspace driver on the install, nothing seems to work now with irw, I'm going to redo my lircd.conf file real quick and see where that gets me. | 03:33 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc | 03:34 |
| foxbuntu | the first window that comes up tells you to select a remote | 03:34 |
| foxbuntu | Select CommandIR Multi (userspace) | 03:35 |
| frozenskunk | yes, I didn't see userspace on the list though, let me try again | 03:35 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, upgrading is something i dont even risk lol | 03:38 |
| frozenskunk | Ok, found it that time (I must be going half blind tonight). Selected it for the first, Command IR Dish for the second. everything seems ok, but irw doesn't see anything when push buttons on the remotes, do I need to redo my lircd.conf? | 03:38 |
| Ward1983 | i tried it two times, went wrong two times | 03:38 |
| Ward1983 | so i never try it again | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | if you look at something for too long you indeed become half blind on the subject | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | at least i am | 03:39 |
| frozenskunk | Ward1983: I normally dont' either, the girlfriend was being 'helpful' | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | hahaha | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, well at least she owes you lol | 03:39 |
| Ward1983 | its like a jokercard you can use when you want | 03:40 |
| Ward1983 | dunno how that card is called in enlish | 03:40 |
| frozenskunk | Yet somehow, I'm the one that alwasy pays... ;-) | 03:40 |
| Ward1983 | disable upgrading lol | 03:40 |
| Ward1983 | or better yet, dont give the root password to your gf | 03:40 |
| frozenskunk | You would think that would be just common sense, but no.... ;-) | 03:41 |
| Ward1983 | lol | 03:41 |
| Ward1983 | if the rest of the family would use my mythtv i would even strip the menu | 03:41 |
| Ward1983 | comment all the buttons to change settings out of the xml | 03:42 |
| frozenskunk | Usually it's not bad for me, she just wants to watch tv, so doesn't mess around in the menus. | 03:42 |
| Ward1983 | im curious how non IT people would find the usabillity of mythtv | 03:43 |
| Ward1983 | i think its pretty similar to them then any other mediacenter, and therefor is not hard to use | 03:44 |
| frozenskunk | once it's set up, she (who has no IT experience at all, uses MS OFfice at work) loves it | 03:44 |
| frozenskunk | when the remotes dont' work for 6 months, she gets pissed | 03:44 |
| Ward1983 | family is on vacation here, curious what my parents think of it | 03:45 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, lol 6 months :o | 03:45 |
| Ward1983 | she could have upgraded again in that time :p | 03:45 |
| Ward1983 | im planning on letting my family use mythweb to schedule recordings if something they liek is on, and they should allways set a lower priority then my shows :p | 03:47 |
| Ward1983 | or jsut give ma a couple of tuners :p | 03:47 |
| frozenskunk | just need to get more tuner cards! | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | lol timing | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | i just said that :D | 03:48 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: do I just add my personal lircd.conf files to the one with the new userspace in it? | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | i got a DC10+ in it as second card though | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | but that cannot tune | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | i can hook it up to the vcr that has a tuner though | 03:48 |
| Ward1983 | maybe i could do something with it with irblast | 03:49 |
| frozenskunk | I'm still using my hauppage 350 and 500 that I have had for a few years now | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | but too much work | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | i have a PVR-150 | 03:49 |
| frozenskunk | irblast is what I'm working on | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | it came with my second hand machine | 03:49 |
| frozenskunk | new commandir is supposed to be easier than the one I have. | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | i dunno commandir | 03:49 |
| Ward1983 | i never played with irblast | 03:50 |
| Ward1983 | dont have a transmitter yet | 03:50 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, yeah, you will need to edit the lircd.conf to add your remotes | 03:50 |
| frozenskunk | cammandir is the irblaster hardware | 03:50 |
| Ward1983 | didnt know that, i thought it worked with various devices including homemade ones? | 03:50 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: do I need to leave the hauppage remote that it added automatically (and labeled as userspace) | 03:50 |
| Ward1983 | or is that just lirc? | 03:50 |
| frozenskunk | you can use homemade also, I just wanted a 'cleaner' install | 03:51 |
| Shadow__X | hello everyone | 03:51 |
| Shadow__X | anyone know what happened to the mythtv plugin in totem in the 8.10 repos | 03:51 |
| Ward1983 | lol my homemade serial receiver was about as simple as it gets | 03:51 |
| Ward1983 | to isntall | 03:51 |
| Ward1983 | and it looks pretty slick too | 03:51 |
| Ward1983 | i built it into a tiny old mousereceiver for a old wireless IR mouse | 03:51 |
| frozenskunk | right, but commandir will support 4 transmitters over usb | 03:51 |
| frozenskunk | so I can control 3 dish network receivers and my TV all using my mythtv (hauppauge) remote | 03:52 |
| Ward1983 | you can just make 4 usb receivers and use a UAB hub | 03:52 |
| Ward1983 | USB hub | 03:52 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, no, but it wont hurt | 03:52 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, the changes it makes that are important are in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf | 03:52 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: ok, then what else did the user space remote selection do? (just tryign to learn what all is going on in the process) | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | ok | 03:53 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, you have 3 dishes? :s | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | I like answers before i ask! | 03:53 |
| Ward1983 | frozenskunk, i only have cable lol | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | One dish, 3 receivers running off of it | 03:53 |
| Ward1983 | aaaah ok | 03:53 |
| foxbuntu | Ward1983, yes, but I have cable as well with 11 tuners | 03:53 |
| Ward1983 | 11? | 03:53 |
| foxbuntu | indeed | 03:53 |
| frozenskunk | damn, now I got 'receiver envy'.... ;-) | 03:54 |
| Ward1983 | how come you people are so rich lol | 03:54 |
| Ward1983 | and what mainboard did you use for 11 tuners? or do you mean multiple backends? | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | I am actually a core dev for the project but I also own a business that I am working on a ready to use mythbuntu machine | 03:54 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: how do I restart lircd without rebooting? | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | Ward1983, multiple backends | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 03:54 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | foxbuntu: is just trying to cover his shortcomings :) | 03:54 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991_laptop, and short they are ;) | 03:55 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, nice, i was thinking of installing mythtv boxes at peoples houses myself, but it will probably be too much paperwork | 03:55 |
| foxbuntu | Ward1983, it can be... | 03:56 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, over here ISPs allow digital tv at shamefull quality and shamefull deatures | 03:56 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: I just included my lircd.conf file for the hauppage remote that was working earlier, and get nothing when running irw | 03:56 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, frozenskunk post your hardware.conf to pastebin | 03:57 |
| frozenskunk | do I need to add that to hardware.conf also? | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, cat /etc/lirc/hardware.conf | 03:57 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, yes but i know a guy that has a pc shop, maybe hes interested, im gonna ask him :) they also sell tvs and digital TV, etc etc | 03:57 |
| foxbuntu | Ward1983, let me tell you one thing, I have been working on this ready to use mythbuntu machine for over a year | 03:58 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: cat what/where? | 03:58 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, i love the fact that you can alter the xml files for the menus, to get options away that people cannot use because they can prevent the system from working well | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, just grab the contents of the hardware.conf file and post it to pastebin | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | !pastebin | frozenskunk | 03:59 |
| Zinn | frozenskunk: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 03:59 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, yes but what i mean is more just build a pc with hardwar that works, set it all up and place it | 03:59 |
| Ward1983 | foxbuntu, i think your idea goes much further | 03:59 |
| foxbuntu | Ward1983, yes to an extent | 04:00 |
| Ward1983 | over here the program guide, etc are the main selling points of set top boxes | 04:02 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m4bf40e0d | 04:02 |
| Ward1983 | so if peopel can choose to do that by buying a machine they can put all their media on, or by paying per month and hiring a crappy machine | 04:02 |
| Ward1983 | i know what i would choose :p | 04:02 |
| Ward1983 | mythtv is better, way more features and much cheaper down the line | 04:03 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, change this line in the hardware.conf: REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge" to REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="", then restart lirc again and see if irw works | 04:03 |
| frozenskunk | ok | 04:04 |
| frozenskunk | what about the TRANSMITTER line? | 04:05 |
| foxbuntu | leave it empty | 04:05 |
| frozenskunk | it is currently set to dish/general.conf, so I should blank it out also | 04:05 |
| foxbuntu | well your on Dish right? | 04:06 |
| frozenskunk | yes | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | I thought you meant driver, so then just dont touch it | 04:06 |
| frozenskunk | sorry, no I meant the TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF line | 04:06 |
| foxbuntu | leave that one alone | 04:07 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: nope still nothing... | 04:08 |
| foxbuntu | ok | 04:08 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sudo lircd --driver=commandir -n | 04:09 |
| foxbuntu | then in a seperate terminal window start irw again | 04:09 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: the lircd --dirver command gives and error, reading of file 'etc/lirc//lircd/lircd.conf' failed | 04:11 |
| frozenskunk | the extra slash is in the error message, not a typo on my part | 04:11 |
| foxbuntu | thats ok | 04:11 |
| foxbuntu | just ignore it | 04:11 |
| frozenskunk | nothing on irw still, the lircd window gives unable to claim CommandIR - Is it already busy? | 04:13 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: try 'rmmond commandir' or check for other lircds | 04:14 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, you can try it, sudo rmmod lirc_cmdir | 04:15 |
| foxbuntu | also sudo rmmod commandir | 04:15 |
| frozenskunk | stop, rmmod those, and start again? | 04:16 |
| frozenskunk | oh, wait, I just saw my note, I forgot to reinstall all the other packages after updating lirc, could that be a problem? | 04:17 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: ok, the rmmod got the lircd to run cleanly, but still no luck with irw | 04:20 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, no, but you will want to do that | 04:20 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, this all worked prior to an upgrade? | 04:21 |
| frozenskunk | yes, under gusty everything was fine, hardy broke it, and I haven't been able to get it going since. | 04:21 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, so are you on hardy or intrepid? | 04:22 |
| frozenskunk | I have been working with commandir support, and had it receiving from hauppauge and dish remotes, transmitting on hauppage, but not on dish | 04:22 |
| frozenskunk | I am on intrepid now, a fresh install | 04:22 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, hmm | 04:23 |
| frozenskunk | I am including the same lircd.conf file now that I had receiving (and transmitting) with my hauppauge remote | 04:23 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, that error you are receiving is similar to one I am having with the commandir driver as well, I am stumped atm and have been working with the guy that built these things | 04:23 |
| frozenskunk | the line 13 error? | 04:24 |
| foxbuntu | no, the unable to claim CommandIR - Is it already busy? | 04:24 |
| frozenskunk | doing the rmmod fixe3d those, | 04:24 |
| foxbuntu | oh | 04:25 |
| frozenskunk | only thing I get now is the line 13 error, reading of config file failed | 04:25 |
| foxbuntu | ok... | 04:25 |
| foxbuntu | well then put your whole config back together and try irw again | 04:25 |
| frozenskunk | which config? the lircd.config? | 04:26 |
| foxbuntu | yea | 04:26 |
| frozenskunk | that is the same now as it was before, it just includes the generic dish conf and another that I keep on my desktop | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | then start lirc back up: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 04:27 |
| frozenskunk | It was working with the older (3pre-1) lirc, I havn't seen it work with the 8.4 yet... | 04:27 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, I ran into issues with that as well with my MCE remote and receiver, I am wondering if there is a bug in 0.8.4a lirc | 04:28 |
| frozenskunk | just took the extra line out of the lircd.conf file just incase and restarted. | 04:28 |
| frozenskunk | after looking at this error message, I think there is a typo somewher in the lirc 8.4 where it tries to read in /etc/lirc//lircd.conf (instead of /etc/lirc/lircd.conf) | 04:30 |
| frozenskunk | so lircd never gets a lircd.conf file loaded when it starts up | 04:30 |
| foxbuntu | could be | 04:31 |
| frozenskunk | although now that I look closer, removing the extra line (userspace remote) from my lircd.conf changed the error from line 13 to line 15, line 13 was the one I commented out, and line 15 is the 'include' line that points to my lircd.conf on my desktop | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, well rolling back to 8.3 will get your receiver working but not the transmitter | 04:31 |
| foxbuntu | wait | 04:32 |
| frozenskunk | well, that's the thing, I had the transmitter transmitting the Hauppage remote codes, just not the dish codes... | 04:32 |
| foxbuntu | ? | 04:32 |
| foxbuntu | im confused | 04:32 |
| frozenskunk | which doesn't make a bit of sense to me because I know the .conf file was valid because irw would decode the dish remotes... | 04:33 |
| foxbuntu | I must have mis understood your original problem then | 04:33 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, on that same apge as before is the deb for lirc 0.8.3pre1 go download that in the mean time...I'll brb, going to look into something quick | 04:34 |
| frozenskunk | commandir woud receive codes using irw from both hauppage and dish remotes, commandir would transmit hauppage remote codes using irsend with no problem, it would NOT transmit dish codes at all, no flashing led's no signal received by dish boxes | 04:34 |
| frozenskunk | ok, roll back to that one then? | 04:34 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, yeah | 04:35 |
| frozenskunk | ok, I really appreciate all your help!!! | 04:35 |
| foxbuntu | if it was transmitting lets go back | 04:35 |
| frozenskunk | sounds good | 04:35 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: good news/bad news.... Something along the way got the transmit to work correctly for the dish codes!!! Thank you so much!!! However, now my wireless network connection doesn't work, and live tv won't play. I have reinstalled the mybuntu packages, rebooted, and still nothing... | 05:02 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, well im not sure how much transmitting helps vs no TV | 05:03 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 05:03 |
| frozenskunk | well, tv hasn't worked for 6 minutes, remotes have been broken for over 6 months, at least its a new problem to work on!!! ;-) | 05:04 |
| frozenskunk | what is the name of the wireless network connection manager package, so I can check if it was uninstalled? | 05:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | does anyone know if its possible to download videos from you tube and add them as .flv into the video manager? | 05:06 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, nm-applet | 05:06 |
| Ward1983 | does anybody have any idea why zsnes works fine from a terminal, but not from ubuntu? i copied the settings in /zsnes to the homefolder of the mythtv user | 05:06 |
| Ward1983 | so theres now also a /home/mythtv/.zsnes dir, which has the exact same contents as the one from my normal user | 05:07 |
| Ward1983 | also i changed ownership to mythtv | 05:07 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, with all the changes, I would go for a reboot and see if its fine when it comes back up | 05:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest42 | does anyone know why it mythbuntu hangs on reboot , if it wasn't shut down properly (i accently disconnected the power cord) and now its taking almost 20 mins to reboot | 05:08 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: tried that, I checked and network manager applet is set to start on boot, but ip addr shows that the wireless link is down. also, normally it wants my password on boot to connect, and it never asks now... | 05:12 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, click on the nm applet in the tool bar and see if it notices your wifi network | 05:13 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: got it going again, had to remove and reinstall nm-applet and it's fine. How do i get it to stop asking for my keyring passcod everytime on boot? | 05:27 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, it shouldnt...im not sure what is causing that | 05:28 |
| foxbuntu | my laptop doesnt do that | 05:28 |
| foxbuntu | that is something I would go google/surf the forums looking for an answer to | 05:28 |
| frozenskunk | yeah, it always wants the keyring passcode so it can get the wpa2 passcode for the network | 05:28 |
| frozenskunk | seems like it should be easy to fix, I thought you might know off top of your head. | 05:29 |
| foxbuntu | nope, sorry | 05:29 |
| frozenskunk | Running mythfill database to see if that fixes tv watching issue or not. | 05:29 |
| foxbuntu | the top of my head seems to have shrank over the years | 05:29 |
| frozenskunk | I seem to have the same affliction... | 05:29 |
| foxbuntu | what is the TV watching issue | 05:29 |
| frozenskunk | it won't... ;-) it used to, but now when i choose watch tv, the screen goes black briefly, and back to the frontend menu | 05:30 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sounds like a Backend issue, check the log: /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | 05:31 |
| Ward1983 | i found a good description of my problem, but no solution :( http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3162&highlight=mythtv | 05:33 |
| frozenskunk | when I run frontend from command line, I get TV Error: LiveTV not succesfully started, let me check the log | 05:33 |
| Ward1983 | what can cause this please? | 05:33 |
| frozenskunk | foxbuntu: looking at my log file, it seems that my channel changin script might be wrong, would that keep the live tv from loading? | 05:36 |
| Ward1983 | damn i need to READ | 05:36 |
| Ward1983 | thats from 2005 | 05:36 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, yes | 05:36 |
| frozenskunk | ok, the cammand line version would be ./chchange.sh dish1 1 for mythtv it should be './chchange.sh dish1 1 ' correct? | 05:37 |
| foxbuntu | frozenskunk, sorry, I dont know anything about the dtv channel changer, but, tgm4883_laptop ^ | 05:37 |
| Ward1983 | i would liek to compile the latest version of zsnes, can i get it from svn or something? | 05:38 |
| frozenskunk | that is just my script, it runs irsend for me | 05:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | frozenskunk, well if that is your script, then what does the last 1 do? | 05:38 |
| frozenskunk | the last 1 sets the commandir to transmit the command on transmitter 1 | 05:46 |
| Ward1983 | oh damn wrong channel | 05:48 |
| Ward1983 | sorry | 05:48 |
| mib_6cmbqv | Does anybody know if the hauppauge hvr 1250 is supported by mythbuntu? | 06:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | mib_6cmbqv: you need to be running trunk, so not currently | 06:04 |
| mib_6cmbqv | Whats Trunk? | 06:04 |

| CosmicTouch | If other people have the same problem that lirc works but mythfrontend ( MYTHBUNTU 8.10( doesent recognized it, than they have to run $mythtv-lirc-generator and replace the new linked /home/"username"/.lirc/mythtv with their usual lircrc-file | 20:23 |

| psicobra | any one able to help i'm sure it is a simple fix | 21:20 |
| noii | psicobra: do you mean the images downloaded through 'search' for ripped dvds? i think low res images are downloaded by an older imdb scraping script - i have seen a forum post on updating the script somewhere. | 21:21 |
| psicobra | yeah so have i | 21:23 |
| psicobra | it's not the res so much just the fact i only get a small image no large poster | 21:24 |
| noii | ah, not sure then | 21:24 |
| psicobra | do you get a large poster? | 21:24 |
| noii | not -sure. they've always been 'normal' size for me - i may not be understanding the question, i | 21:25 |
| noii | i'm pretty new to mythtv | 21:25 |
