=== a1fa_ is now known as a1fa [02:47] I'm trying to troubleshoot a new system's not playing any sound. Anyone know what steps I should take? [02:57] hello hello [02:58] new setup of mythbuntu 8.10 and need help getting PVR 250 setup [03:03] SteveH: check that the card is detected, what kind of sound setup do you have, optical to amp or just regular jack to speakers etc [03:05] Claud-SLC: the pvr 250 is supported ootb so should just work [03:06] yeah.... I thot it would be... [03:06] right now sound is just headphones 'til I can move it closer to big screen [03:12] not sure how to get the program guide to update [03:13] selecting TV doesn't do anything [03:14] i think i messed up the samba shares [03:14] did the recommended update and no more shares show up [03:29] toorima: I believe that the sound is on the MB. I've beena unoid/linoid for years, but never really played with sound. [03:30] (Sorry for the delay ... we're in the middle of turkey left-overs) [03:31] SteveH: had to much turkey yesterday, can't even think about turkey today... hehe [03:32] SteveH: do u get sound outside of mythtv? [03:37] SteveH: if not, could be its muted, check alsamixer === Timrit_away is now known as Timrit [04:05] toorima: I asked about the sound device to look for in the dmesg, but I lost network connectivity ... [04:05] OK, OK, so I dislodged the enet cable [04:09] SteveH, did you break the little retention tab off your net cables again? [04:10] fuxxy: Aren't you spozed to take that tab off, to show that they've been used? [04:10] SteveH, ! [04:11] * gbutters is back. [04:11] I thot it was like the shrink-wrap on a bottle of medicine. {grin} [04:11] I need to disable KDE use flag, too much KDE junk on this sytem that I never use. [04:11] oh, sorry wrong channel :) [04:12] Anyone know how to troubleshoot sound on a brand new system?

[04:36] fuxxy: NOW you tell me! [04:40] This one's better, albeit at twice the price - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131348 [04:48] hello, has anyone had issues with ubuntu installer today? since some patches came through, i'm getting "no UPnP backend found"? anyone else having this issue? [05:26] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [07:01] I have a Nvidia 7900GS graphics card. Is there any special drivers I need? Do I install the Nvidia 177 drivers or Nvidis 175 or the generic [07:52] does any one know if there is a button that you can hit in mythtv when watching tv to start recording. like you would with a vcr and remote [08:09] can anyone advise how i can record from the front end (Watch live TV) is there a keyboard shortcut to start recording when watching live tv [08:13] pretender: try R on the keyboard [08:14] just tried it thanks [08:14] np [08:56] * gbutters is back. [10:47] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [11:46] hello, i wanted to get my mythbackend allow frontonds via LAN. therefore i switched bind 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.5. but during boot my mysql will not start as there is no NIC running. Knetworkmanager gets my local IP when entering X. [11:47] i am really new to mythbuntu, but using gentoo since years, so what is the best to do? i would suggest to replace knetworkmanager with something that gets the IP before mysql gets started? [11:47] but how? [11:48] writing an now file in /etc/rc.2/ ? [12:54] * gbutters is back. [13:17] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [13:19] * gbutters is back.

[15:43] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [15:44] * gbutters is back. [16:07] I have a Dish Network sateillite box and I'm trying to get it to work with my Hauppage HVR 1600. The card has 2 coaxial inputs: Digital and Analog. Which do I plug in the coaxial cable coming from the sateillite box? [16:09] Also what channel frequency table should I use? us-bcast us-cable us-cable-hrc or us-cable-irc ? [16:19] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [16:22] * gbutters is back. [16:28] hey all [16:28] i have a wierd problem i can not record a set program [17:05] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [17:16] * gbutters is back. [17:21] what would cause me not to beable to schedule a recording? [17:46] evaryont_: I would plug the coaxial cable into the analog side- it doesn't matter what frequency you use- us-bcast is fine [17:58] evaryont_, my brother's got a Dish Network DVR, it's got LOTS of jacks to connect devices with. Does yours have firewire or USB? [17:58] evaryont_, it will work if you just use the analog RF out, but you won't get the best signal possible. If the box supports it, it would be best to use firewire [17:59] I set up my mythbox with an LCD. How do I get the image onto my tv, and can I run both my LCD and TV? [18:06] Crewsr3, there's a lot of variables with that. I would suggest reading up on you video card options, specifically the Xorg options pertaining to xinerama [18:07] Crewsr3, if you've got an HDTV with VGA, DVI, or HDMI inputs, you'd be best to buy a cable to plug your machine in using one of those. [18:26] fuxxy_: sorry, I had a run for a second. I have a SDTV with 480i and I'm running s-video out of my nvidia card. On the same card I'm running this LCD. I looked around in the nvidia sever settings and could not find anything that mentioned s-video out [18:28] Crewsr3, on my FX5200 I found that if I boot the system with only the S-video cable attached to the tv, it JustWorked(tm) [18:28] but I never could get it to dual display with tvout and VGA [18:28] fuxxy_, you need to setup twinview [18:29] foxbuntu: what is twinview? [18:29] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html [18:35] foxbuntu: can you send me a copy of your xorg.conf settings for a reverence [18:35] Crewsr3, I dont use twinview [18:38] Thanks everyone, [18:51] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [18:56] for my Dish Network + MythTV setup in Mythbuntu - where is the lirc script (if any exists) to change the channel? [18:59] here's a link to a lirc script for Dish Network: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DISHNetworkLIRCConfiguration [18:59] evaryont_, you will need to grab the directv.pl script and use that [19:00] or that [19:00] :) [19:02] dashcloud: thanks [19:03] hm [19:04] that lirc conf defines a lot of dishN remotes - dish, dish1, dish2, etc - where N is for "remotes using remote code X" How do I know which remote code my DISH box/remote is using? [19:05] evaryont_, either guess or google your model of STB from dish [19:06] lots of guessing :) STB = ? [19:07] it looks like they just go from dish1, and increase with each box you have [19:08] dashcloud: uh, I still don't understand :/ I have 2 DISH boxes - the one I'm trying to configure w/ MythTV is the first one, the so called "Master" box [19:09] oh STB is "set top box" :) [19:11] in the comments at the top of the script, it says it starts with dish1- which is the default for people with only 1 receiver [19:11] so I would imagine it goes up from there (not having Dish, I can't tell you) [19:12] alright, thanks for the help :) [19:32] how do you get the program guide to update? [19:33] I've set up an account with Shedules Direct and entered the username and password in Myth [19:38] * gbutters is back. [19:38] did you create a video source in myth-backend setup? [19:40] you'll need to create a video source, and connect it to an input (it's one of the menu options- input connections) [19:45] yeah - I called it ScheduleDirect or something like that [19:45] how do I tell it to update? [19:54] * gbutters is away: Gone away for now [20:11] * gbutters is back. [20:12] Claud-SLC: sorry bout that, after you typed in your user namer & password, did you press the fetch lineup button? [20:43] yeahm but I dont think anything is updating.... :( [20:44] I just tried again [20:44] I'll be back to try it again [20:44] if you've put in the correct username & password (and the box above it is set to schedulesdirect (internal) ), you'll see the name of your first lineup [21:57] what is the best way to test the lirc remote? [21:57] evaryont_: irw [21:57] hm [21:57] "connect: no such file or directory" - lirc isn't running? [21:58] Using Mythbuntu 8.10, I have a V4L capture device added, I need Myth to set it to channel 3 when it starts up , and then use an external changer script to change channels, I believe I have this setup right, however its not working, does anyone have experience with using the `External Changer Script` options ? Been browsing webpages for answers but have yet to find any [21:59] if so, how do I start lirc? [22:02] I have the A415-HPG-A remote from Hauppage (shipped with the HVR-1600) - what modules do I need to load? [22:03] /etc/init.d/lirc start returns "Unable to load LIRC kernel modules" [22:05] evaryont_, then you have an improper lirc setup [22:06] uomogrande, which external changer script? [22:06] well atm ... 'mythchanger' .. using it to change channels via firewire to a SA4250HDC [22:06] ah [22:07] I dont know anything about that one [22:08] fromt he other myth channel, basically was just told to get rid of the 'default channel' field in myth-setup , and instead just set the channel to 3 in the external changer script in a line before i call mythchanger, so just write a small bash frontend to mythchanger that also calls something else to change the capture card channel [22:08] foxbuntu: what is the proper setup? :) [22:09] :/ [22:10] evaryont_, sorry about that...issues with X [22:10] evaryont_, what hardware are you using? [22:11] foxbuntu: heh, np. Which piece of hw are you asking about? :/ [22:12] your remote receiver/remote [22:13] OHHHHH while i'm here one more question but its not really MythTV specific, ... I got a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to go from my video card to my TV , however, it seems the TV always sets the resolution slightly smaller than what the computer thinks it is, by that i mean , there is a good amount of my screen hidden on all sides, Does anyone know what is needed to do to setup the resolution to work right with the DVI -> [22:14] Remote: A415-HPG-A [22:14] IR w/blaster: HAU-F6021146-5M [22:14] uomogrande: that's called "overscan" and it might be possible to turn it off on the TV.. [22:14] foxbuntu: info -^ [22:15] uomogrande: and, uh, please don't cross-post [22:15] I looked around and couldnt find any options that really seemed to do it on the TV .. unfortunatly ... if my TV doesnt have a setting in it to fix it, can i fix it on the computer/OS side? [22:15] k [22:16] evaryont_, I dont know models, can you point me to a link of that what that remote is, or where it came from? [22:16] it comes w/ the Hauppage HVR-1600 [22:17] uh [22:17] http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/images/wintv-hvr-1600_big.jpg [22:17] that's a pic of the card + remote [22:18] ah yes. an mce remote [22:18] really? mce? [22:18] yea [22:18] huh. didn't know that. [22:19] very commonnnnnnnnnnn [22:19] ugh [22:19] anyways [22:19] 3 ways to fix your issue [22:19] 1) Mythbuntu-Control-Centre [22:20] Select Infrared Devices > Change remote to Windows MCE Remote (new version) > Apply [22:20] Restart MythTV [22:20] that should be the easiest [22:20] alright [22:20] I'll try that first [22:22] changed it, didn't help - still got the unable to load LIRC kernel modules [22:23] hrm [22:23] rebooting the computer - that may or may not help. will see :) [22:27] nope [22:27] didn't help :( [22:27] evaryont_, hmm [22:27] pastebin the output of: lsusb [22:27] !pastebin | evaryont_ [22:27] evaryont_: 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. [22:28] alright [22:28] foxbuntu: well, why lsusb? [22:29] foxbuntu: also, 4 busess w/ ID 0000:0000 [22:29] no extra info [22:29] evaryont_, where does the ir receiver plug in? [22:29] into the card it self, there is a dedicated plug [22:30] for a receiver? [22:30] or a blaster? [22:30] both - it's a 2-in-one [22:30] it splits right at the connector [22:32] oh [22:32] thats a different module then [22:33] fun [22:33] which? [22:34] Im looking [22:34] thanks [22:34] its a newer card, but this is the reason lirc fails [22:35] go back into MCC and select Hauppage PVR150 TV Card [22:38] under Infrared Devices > "Enable a Remote Control" ? [22:39] if so [22:39] I don't see it [22:40] I did see a generic "Hauppauge TV Card" [22:40] but yet I still get an error :( [22:41] same - "Unable to load LIRC kernel modules" [22:41] yeah [22:42] try this: sudo modprobe lirc_pvr150 [22:43] Error doing that - "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" [22:43] hmm [22:44] dmesg reports: "lirc_pvr150: disagrees about vesion of symbol ivttv_reset_ir_gpio" [22:44] 3 times [22:44] ah, and "Unknown symbol ivtv_reset_ir_gpio" [22:44] I just dont know with that IR receiver...I would poke around in the forums/on google for those errors and that card to figure out what module/driver you should be using [22:46] I can help you change the module by hand if you can determine which one it is [22:47] hmm [22:47] I figured more info (yay dmesg poking) [22:47] apparently it's a phiips eHome USB IR Transciever [22:47] Philips* [22:48] but it uses a 1/16" connector that plugs into the back of the card [22:49] http://www.hauppauge.com/pics/hvr1600_connector-b.gif <- diagram [22:50] ok [22:50] try finding it with lspci [22:53] not listed :/ [22:53] I see the Conexant MPEG2 encoder [22:53] is the tuner listed? [22:53] ok [23:23] I've got a question about 8.04.1; when installing it asks which software to install. What is Mythbuntu additional rolls? That box is just going to be a front end (MySQL and the media files are on a central computer w/backend) .. [23:25] 8.10 wouldn't install (shaky hardware)
