| wos | anyone here? | 02:13 |
|---|---|---|
| wos | could anyone tell me if ubuntu and mythbuntu are the same thing basically if you take out the TV features? | 02:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | wos, kinda | 02:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I mean, they have different things installed | 02:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but underneath, they run the same kernel | 02:36 |
| wos | tgm4883_laptop, could i get support for mythbuntu in the ubuntu channel, for non tv related problems? | 02:37 |
| foxbuntu | wos, yes, for the most part, but folks here know a little more than MythTV | 02:38 |
| hads | Mythbuntu is Ubuntu, it's all the same packages. | 02:39 |
| wos | oh cool | 02:39 |
| foxbuntu | essentially | 02:39 |
| wos | then why is there a separate install CD? | 02:39 |
| hads | Same reason there;'s Kubuntu etc. | 02:40 |
| wos | yes but Kubuntu has a lot of differences | 02:40 |
| foxbuntu | its customized to the user groups, to make it very easy | 02:40 |
| foxbuntu | believe me when I say there is allot of differences between Ubuntu and Mythbuntu | 02:41 |
| hads | wos: Kubuntu is the same also, it's all the same packages. | 02:41 |
| hads | It's one repository. | 02:41 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I think that might be confusing for someone not knowing what the packages are | 02:41 |
| wos | kubuntu has separate packages for certain items though | 02:42 |
| hads | As does Mythbuntu, but you can install any of them on any install. | 02:42 |
| foxbuntu | wos, the point hads is making is that they all reside in the same repository | 02:42 |
| hads | foxbuntu: *shrug* I guess it could be, doesn't seem confusing to me. | 02:42 |
| foxbuntu | hads, nor me | 02:43 |
| foxbuntu | :) | 02:43 |
| hads | :) | 02:43 |
| wos | does mythbuntu have a different user interface? | 02:43 |
| foxbuntu | its XFCE | 02:43 |
| foxbuntu | so like Xubuntu | 02:43 |
| hads | Just with a customised theme etc. | 02:43 |
| foxbuntu | indeed | 02:43 |
| hads | From a package ;) | 02:44 |
| foxbuntu | haha | 02:44 |
| wos | its xfce? fxck | 02:44 |
| foxbuntu | wos, ? | 02:44 |
| foxbuntu | wos, its easily changed | 02:44 |
| foxbuntu | you dont like XFCE, pick KDE, or Gnome | 02:44 |
| wos | how? | 02:44 |
| hads | Or start mythfrontned from xinit or whatever :) | 02:45 |
| foxbuntu | Mythbuntu-Control-Centre | 02:45 |
| hads | So when it crashes you're not left with a blank screen :) | 02:45 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 02:45 |
| foxbuntu | hads, you are a cli hooker arent you | 02:45 |
| hads | :) | 02:45 |
| foxbuntu | always whoring out the cli | 02:46 |
| hads | Maybe a little | 02:46 |
| foxbuntu | lol | 02:46 |
| * hads cranks out irssi mutt and links | 02:46 | |
| foxbuntu | lol | 02:47 |
| foxbuntu | I'll stick with xchat and gnome | 02:47 |
| foxbuntu | with FF | 02:47 |
| === protonchris_ is now known as protonchris | ||
| hads | I only actually use irssi daily out of those. | 02:48 |
| hads | KMail and FF usually. | 02:48 |
| foxbuntu | ah, figures, usually those that are hardcore cli use KDE for their GUI | 02:50 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 02:50 |
| hads | I've actually been undecided lately, switching back and forth. | 02:52 |
| hads | But I just really prefer KMail to any other mail client, especially the keyboard shortcuts. Pity it eats my mail every once in a while but I've got backups :) | 02:53 |
| foxbuntu | I've never been into KDE | 02:53 |
| foxbuntu | but thats just me | 02:54 |
| foxbuntu | I should prob look at the new KDE4 though | 02:54 |
| hads | I'm looking forward to 4.2, 4.0 and 4.1 haven't really done it for me yet. Their work is amazing but just didn't quite fit me yet. | 02:55 |
| hads | The polish that Ubuntu has with Gnome is unrivaled though. | 02:55 |
| foxbuntu | indeed | 02:56 |
| foxbuntu | and its only getting better | 02:56 |
| hads | Yup | 02:57 |

| Chaorain | I am a linux newb and I would like to know how do I get a free tv guide for Myth TV | 03:37 |
| mee | i just installed mythbuntu, can anyone tell me how to watch tv now | 03:53 |
| mee | i have a hauppage wintv hvr 950q | 03:53 |
| mee | when i press "watch tv" nothing happens | 03:53 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | !blank | mee | 03:55 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about blank | 03:55 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | !blank% | mee | 03:55 |
| Zinn | mee: If 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 directory | 03:55 |
| mee | where is the recording direcrtory? | 03:57 |
| mee | rhpot1991_laptop, where is the recording directory | 04:01 |
| mee | can anyone help me please | 04:04 |
| foxbuntu | mee, its where ever you setup your storage group to reside, the default is /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ | 04:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, did you get the firmware for that card? | 04:06 |
| mee | no | 04:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats probably your problem | 04:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | were you able to scan for channels? | 04:07 |
| mee | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_HVR-950 | 04:08 |
| mee | no | 04:08 |
| mee | im confused | 04:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea follow those directions | 04:09 |
| mee | tgm4883_laptop, i dont understand those directions | 04:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what part? | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ] | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | download the firmware first: wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir: unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Copy the resulting firmware file into /lib/firmware: cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | 04:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | actually, i missed this step Next, go into the v4l/linux/Documentation/video4linux directory, there will be a file called extract_xc3028.pl Copy this file into the directory where you originally placed hcw85bda.sys. Run the file with the command: ./extract_xc3028.pl | 04:14 |
| mee | what????? Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir: unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | 04:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did you download the file? | 04:16 |
| mee | yes sir | 04:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, then open a terminal and do | 04:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | \unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | 04:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | 04:16 |
| mee | which one | 04:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the second one | 04:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | just like the directions say | 04:17 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | 04:17 |
| mee | unzip: cannot find or open HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip, HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip.zip or HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip.ZIP. | 04:17 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ | 04:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | where did you download the file to? | 04:17 |
| mee | desktop | 04:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 04:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | cd Desktop | 04:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then run the command | 04:18 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ cd desktop | 04:18 |
| mee | bash: cd: desktop: No such file or directory | 04:18 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ | 04:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | capitol D | 04:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's case sensitive | 04:19 |
| mee | ok | 04:20 |
| mee | im done | 04:20 |
| mee | now try it? | 04:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea | 04:20 |
| mee | no | 04:21 |
| mee | no its not working | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | error? | 04:21 |
| mee | blank | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what do you mean blank? | 04:21 |
| mee | then returns to the main screen in a half of a second | 04:21 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec | 04:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | do this | 04:22 |
| tgm4883_laptop | cd ~/ | 04:22 |

| mee | ok | 04:24 |
| mee | done | 04:24 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and it unziped? | 04:24 |
| mee | i followed your directions so i think so | 04:25 |
| mee | but the directions say something about a tarball | 04:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it would say something like inflating: hcw85bda.sys | 04:25 |
| mee | yes it did say that | 04:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, are you running 8.10 or 8.04? | 04:26 |
| mee | 8.10 | 04:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | good | 04:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so you don't have to worry about the tarball part | 04:26 |
| mee | ok | 04:26 |
| mee | ill try it now | 04:26 |
| mee | it doesnt work | 04:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what doesn't work? | 04:27 |

| mee | nothing happened | 04:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, did it copy | 04:30 |
| mee | i dont know, how would i know? | 04:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did it say not found? | 04:30 |
| mee | no | 04:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok then it should have worked | 04:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now do | 04:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ./extract_xc3028.pl | 04:32 |

| tgm4883_laptop | ./extract_xc3028.pl | 04:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that should have worked | 04:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i am trying to edit my fstab and it is telling me i do not have the permissions needed, can anyone help me | 04:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest14, what are you using to edit it? | 04:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, ah, do chmod +x extract_xc3028.pl | 04:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then try ./extract_xc3028.pl | 04:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | gedit | 04:38 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ ./extract_xc3028.pl | 04:38 |
| mee | Firmwares generated. | 04:38 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ | 04:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest14, open a terminal and do "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, great, now do | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, you will probably have to use sudo on that | 04:39 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ sudo cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | 04:39 |
| mee | mee@mee-desktop:~$ | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, looks like it worked | 04:40 |
| mee | ok | 04:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you should be able to just reboot and it should work after you scan for channels and do mythtv-setup stuff | 04:40 |
| mee | ok ill try. will you be tha here | 04:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i'm playing gears of war 2, but I should be around | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or you can bug foxbuntu ;) | 04:41 |
| mee | ok | 04:41 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | laptop, got any ideas of why i cannot edit my fstab now? | 04:42 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, no bugging foxbuntu tonight, I am busy with stupid web junk again | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest14, did you do what I said? | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, open a terminal and do "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" | 04:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | i just saw that i am going to try it | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | foxbuntu, ok, i'll field his questions then | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I do have about the same hardware | 04:42 |
| mee | ok how do i scan for channels, it did the blank screen agian | 04:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, you have to go though mythtv-setup and run the channel scanner | 04:43 |
| mee | ok | 04:43 |
| mee | wheree is that | 04:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mee, in a terminal, type mythtv-setup | 04:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | that worked, why do i have to do that now, i have edited it before without gksudo | 04:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest14, you have to have root privledges to edit system files | 04:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so you got them before somehow | 04:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest14 | cool...one more question i just reinstalled and now my portable drive will not show up on the desktop | 04:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest14, does it show up in your file manager? | 04:49 |

| wise_tamas | re all! I've just started using Mythbuntu 8.10( backend+frontend on a desktop, frontend only on a notebook ), and I'm bumped with settings and video windows... can anyone help me out? (more info on my system setup to come if wanted) | 15:11 |
| bobbob1016 | How can I get mythbuntu to talk to my receiver? I have a pioneer vsx-01txh. It has USB but for ipod connectivity. It has a com-port (9pin I think), anyone know how to get this working? | 15:18 |
| laga | bobbob1016: ask pioneer? | 15:36 |
| bobbob1016 | laga, Ok, I wasn't sure if there was mythtv thing to do it. | 15:37 |
| laga | bobbob1016: the commands are most likely vendor specific. i'd find out what commands are available and then go from there, eg write a script | 15:38 |

| LyosNorezel | quiet today | 20:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | Hey guys, how do I delay the loading of the backend? I did it before, but had to reformat and install and I can't remember how to do it. Seems like I changed it from S20 to S99, but I don't remember what folder. | 23:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest82 | I also need to get more volume out of Myth. Alexis is turned up all the way and the volume is 100%, but it's still very quiet. Again, I did this before, but I can't remember how I did it. | 23:23 |

| Tooncis | I mean alsamixer | 23:32 |
| LonEagle | there's a volume control in the setup in mythfrontend | 23:44 |
