linux_trojanI recently tried the live CD and tried to watch TV on my pc with has a NVIDAIA and HAUPPAGE card.  I wasnt sure quite what to do so I tried several things including FREEVO.  Any suggestions on how to watch TV using the Live CD?18:11
superm1you generally need to set up a backend first18:12
superm1and then you can watch tv on a frontend from the live cd if you want18:13
superm1you can try to use VLC on the live cd though for watching tv18:13
linux_trojanI see, I wasnt sure if it was just plub and play18:13
linux_trojancan VLC be scheduled to record TV programs?18:13
linux_trojanautomatically change channels, etc?18:14
linux_trojanwhich backend do you recommend I use?18:14
superm1no VLC can't18:17
superm1if you were just looking for something to try on the live cd its something to try18:17
linux_trojanyes thats a good idea18:17
superm1do a full "normal" install of mythbuntu  and you will get a backend18:17
superm1its part of the standard installation18:17
linux_trojanI see18:17
linux_trojanits "all or nothing"?18:18
superm1i'm giving you a solution to your problem is all18:18
superm1you can install just the backend if you want; that's fine18:18
linux_trojanI have to take the leap of faith and delete my windows partion18:19
superm1i'd recommend you use another hard drive18:20
superm1especially if you are just evaluating this18:20
linux_trojanI would prefer to use the backend on the CD and fee 100% confortable with it before I delete windows18:20
superm1the architecture of mythtv unfortunately doesn't allow for that18:20
linux_trojanohhhhhh!!!!!!!18:20
linux_trojanwell, I do have another windows box where I can experiment with this18:21
linux_trojanI have two computers one with HAUPAGGE and another with ATI All in Wonder18:21
superm1all in wonder isn't support in linux for recording18:21
superm1unfortunately18:22
linux_trojanor "All In BLUNDER" as I like to call it18:22
linux_trojannow you see why I call it the all in BLUNDER?18:22
linux_trojanI thought I read something on a website that said the FREEVO or somethone did work with All In Wonder but was limited, but did have some features?18:23
linux_trojanoh I see can view with ATIAW but not record?18:24
linux_trojanwell, I guess that about covers it?  you guys dont appear to have a sense of humor18:37
linux_trojanIts times like this that I actualy consider paying $ for PARTITION MAGIC, I dont like to pay for software18:46
superm1there is a partitioning tool included with ubuntu disks (i forget if we included one on the mythbuntu disk)19:04
linux_trojanpartitioning tool?19:09
linux_trojanlike cfdisk?19:09
linux_trojanor fdisk?19:09
linux_trojanI was refering to something that lets you repartition without destroying data19:09
superm1gparted19:14
superm1it lets you repartition without destroying data19:14
linux_trojanoh really?  which linux program lest you do that?19:22
linux_trojan*lets19:23
linux_trojanoh sorry, I see it, GPARTED19:23
linux_trojannever new that, I gotta try it19:23
linux_trojanok lets say I install MythTV and the backend is auto installed and configured as you say, which front end do I use?19:24
superm1one is installed for you with the default install19:46

linux_trojanok I was just hoping to know what its called, the frontend, so I can know I am doing it right20:31

dorio_manIt's linux under the hood.  If your at a keyboard you can possibly get a virtual termianl ctrl+alt+f1. You can remote in from another machine too.23:05
dorio_manThis will at least tell you if it's frozen or not.  If not you can kill the process.23:06
MythbuntuGuest04it does not get an ip address now, it does not get far enough enough into the process.23:08
MythbuntuGuest04it flashes Mythbuntu, then shows something that says Debian1:3.1  or something like that, it is a shell prompt23:08
dorio_manIf $ or # then yes23:09
MythbuntuGuest04?23:09
dorio_manUbuntu and Mythbuntu are based of Debian.23:10
MythbuntuGuest04so it is stopping before the mythbuntu gets going23:11
dorio_manPossible.  So does it get past the kernel messages.23:12
dorio_manIf your getting an ip you can remote in from another computer.  SSH preferable.23:13
MythbuntuGuest04i get the grub loading, it gets past that, then i get the Mythbuntu splash for about 5 seconds then i get the shell prompt23:13
dorio_mana # or $23:13
dorio_man# is root , $ a user23:14
MythbuntuGuest04i don't get either23:14
MythbuntuGuest04it says something like itramfs)23:14
dorio_mantry a command like ls23:14
MythbuntuGuest04i get the etc modules usr and so on23:16
dorio_manso linux is running.23:16
MythbuntuGuest04yes23:16
dorio_manDid you just install it23:16
MythbuntuGuest04no it has been installed and running, i was browsing videos in mythtv and it froze so i rebooted and this is what happens23:17
dorio_manyou can find out if your root or not by typing the command whoami23:17
MythbuntuGuest04it says not found23:18
MythbuntuGuest04.../n/sh: whoami: not found23:19
dorio_manok23:19
dorio_manIs this the first time reboot since the freeze.23:19
Cew27anyone here23:19
Cew27i need help, i installed mythbuntu and have a variety of problems23:20
MythbuntuGuest04i have done it several times23:20
dorio_manI know Linux and am installing mythbuntu now.  I know there a command you can run to get to the configuration screen.23:21
MythbuntuGuest04i did make a new directory call smb_videos in my video directory before all of this23:22
dorio_manTry myth and tab two times.  It will bring up a list of all the command which start with myth23:22
dorio_manDid you do it using the gui?23:23
Cew27dvd playback in mythbuntu is messed up, i get multiple screens and messed up playback23:24
MythbuntuGuest04no, i did it in command line, it worked i saw the folder, i watched a movie then went to scan for more videos and it froze23:24
MythbuntuGuest04myth and two tabss does nothing23:25
dorio_mannothing?  I don't know the command but try scan and hit tab twice.  I'm new to mythbuntu too but I know linux.23:27
dorio_manI get scantv when I type scan and hit tab twice.23:28
MythbuntuGuest04nothing if i just hit tab twice i get a list of stuff23:29
dorio_manCent27 go through some of the configurations.  It is probably pointing to the something wrong.  There is a good install manual.23:30
MythbuntuGuest04i dont think any part mythbuntu is present23:30
Cew27dorio_man: its installed ok i think?23:32
Cew27problem is my video card only has dvi and  vga out, there is no good way to get sound into my tv as its all hdmi inputs23:32
dorio_manCew27: Same problem my friend is having with dhmi out23:33
Cew27dorio_man: what you mean?23:34
dorio_manCew27: He is having sound problems and hdmi problems.  I thinks it's a configuration problem on his side.23:35
Cew27im not having problems with it. i just dont know how i can get sound into hdmi23:36
MythbuntuGuest04busybox v1.1.323:38
dorio_manCew27: It's in one of the configuration files.  My friend finally found it.23:38
Cew27dorio_man: no, i mean hardware23:38
Cew27my graphics card only has dvi out23:39
dorio_manCew27: I believe you can find it in the configuration.  It should pick it up.  If I remember right there is a backend configuration too.23:40
Cew27dorio_man: no.... i dont think you are understanding me23:41
Cew27i have a dvi to hdmi convertor hooked up23:41
dorio_manahh. ok23:41
Cew27and i dont know how to get sound23:44
dorio_manI looked it up.  From the Info about the converter it should work.  There is a lot of configuration files my friend had to go through to get it up and running.23:45
dorio_manGave my friend a call.  Hopefully he will call back soon and answere the hdmi question.23:48
dorio_manHe says it should work but no sound.23:55
