ravaloxFor that matter, after a mythbuntu install how do I get my root password for mysql?00:29
tgm4883_laptopravalox, by default, there is no root password for mysql00:32
tgm4883_laptopunless you set one during installation00:32
ravaloxThanks, I still can't seem to get mythtv to schedule recordings00:33
ravaloxI've been using it for over two years now and never seen this.00:33
LossifHey, I just installed a new HD in my mythbox, Mounted and shared it and I can see it on the network but for some reason it is readonly even though it is set to be open02:39
jase_lossif: You shared it using samba? nfs?03:01
Lossifsamba03:02
Lossifit is in my /media/ directory03:02
Lossifwould I need to change the permissions of that directory?03:02
jase_im wondering if its shared read only to anonymous users, read/write to people that have supplied a password.03:03
jase_how was the samba share configured?03:04
Lossif[terradrive]03:04
Lossifcomment = terradrive03:04
Lossifpath = /media/terradrive03:04
Lossifpublic = yes03:05
Lossifwritable = yes03:05
Lossifcreate mask = 066003:05
Lossifdirectory mask = 077003:05
Lossifforce user = mythtv03:05
Lossifforce group = mythtv03:05
Lossifmy windows machine sees it03:05
jase_i was going to say you can force the user :)03:05
Chaorainhow do I empty the trash?03:05
Lossifjust can't write to it or delete anything03:05
jase_looks good from here. everything under /media/terradrive is owned by the mythtv user?03:05
Lossifowned?03:06
Lossifhow do I check?03:06
jase_ls -l03:06
ChaorainWhen I delete the files from trash they disapear for 1/4 of a second and reappear03:06
Lossifdrwx------ 2 root root 16384 2008-12-09 21:05 lost+found03:07
jase_or possibly for nautilus you can view the owner from the properties03:07
jase_ls -l /media/terradrive03:08
jase_or check using your gui by going to properties on the folder, owner is under permissions03:08
LossifI am using ssh03:08
Lossifso no gui03:08
jase_ah03:09
Lossifand that drwx line is what I get when I run the ls -l03:09
Lossifdoes that root root mean it is root access only?03:09
jase_is the terradrive empty?03:09
Lossifyep03:10
jase_root means the root user owns it03:10
jase_try chown mythtv:mythtv /media/terradrive03:10
jase_you might have to run that as root or sudo03:10
ChaorainUm how do I permently delete files?03:10
jase_chaorain: try not deleting the files out from the trash, but right clicking on the trash icon and hitting empty trash.03:11
Chaorainthanks03:11
Chaorainthat worked03:11
Lossifthat works!03:12
Lossifyahoo!!!!03:12
jase_i couldnt replicate the problem with them reappearing on my own machine.. weird03:12
Lossifyour the man ja03:12
jase_sweet!03:12
Lossifjase!03:12
Chaorainnow I just have to get my TV tunner working03:12
Lossifnow to copy over 500 gigs of media03:12
Chaorainlol03:13
jase_now mythtv owns that directory tree, so the people accessing it from shared folders can write as they are that user.03:13
jase_good luck !03:13
Lossifshould take a couple of hours03:13
Lossifagain, thanks a lot!03:13
jase_no problem03:14
ChaorainIs there anything I need to know on how to set up my tunner that is not on this page? (this is the correct card) http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Card_(800i)03:14
jase_charoain: check the notes at the top of that page03:15
jase_it says drivers were included with kernel >2.6.2503:16
Chaorainoh I missed thatnks03:16
Chaorainer03:16
jase_mythbuntu works out of the box, apparently03:16
Chaorainthanks03:16
Chaorainnow I just need to get it setup the right way03:17
tgm4883_laptopChaorain, jase_ not exactly03:18
tgm4883_laptopyou still need the firmware03:18
Chaorainoh thanks03:18
Chaorainfor videos where do I put the box art?03:22
tgm4883_laptopin your posters dir03:24
Chaorainum where is the posters dir03:25
tgm4883_laptopdefault, 8.10 and prior its in ~/.mythtv/mythvideo I think, 9.04 its in /var/lib/mythtv/posters03:27
ChaorainI'm running 8.10 but its not there but the 9.04 is there except for the /posters part. Do I need to create it?03:29
tgm4883_laptopno03:29
jase_is the posters directory a configurable setting through the mythtv frontend?03:30
tgm4883_laptopyes03:31
tgm4883_laptopsorry answer come slow03:31
tgm4883_laptopI'm playing gear of war03:31
tgm4883_laptopyea you can configure the posters dir in the frontend03:32
Chaorainah found it03:32
Chaorainor not03:34
Chaorainfound it for real this time03:35
scotepiis iptables enabled by default?03:41
scotepisamba was working then i rebooted and its no longer working03:41
scotepiits running, but i cant connect03:41
tgm4883_laptopscotepi, I don't think so, you can check the status of ufw03:42
scotepinot running03:42
scotepiive restarted samba a few times as well as rebooted03:44
scotepianother reboot, nothin03:48
Chaorainhow do I delete a directory I do not have permission to?03:49

Chaorainty03:49
scotepiwhy is samba not working >< i set up all the time for my self03:51
scotepiwhere the hell is the smb.conf?03:56
Zinnscotepi: Please watch your language.03:56

hadss/ubuntu/scotepi/04:16
tgm4883_laptopwtf?04:24
hadsThe world is full of silly angry people.04:28
sabhainlaga you in?04:55
sabhainanyone have a recommendation on debugging tftp services?05:08
jase_i have seen people putting -vvv in the server args. cant elaborate as i havent done it myself05:11
sabhainI'm just trying to find that it's actually running .. I have a working mvpmc system running on my backend server, and now I'm trying to add mythbuntu-diskless .. seems like since inetd.d was already there that the diskless install didn't go all the way?  totally grasping at straws here.05:13
jase_sorry not really sure. you could try connecting manually with a tftp client on your desktop. might be easier to debug than a booting diskless client05:15
foxbuntusabhain, ps ax | grep inet.d05:17
foxbuntuperhaps05:17
sabhainthat was helpful .. foxbuntu & jase_ .. now I'm at least getting a "forbidden directory" error from the tftp client ..05:20
sabhainperhaps it's now a permissions error?05:20
sabhainwhen a directory name in the output of ls is highlighted .. what does that mean?05:21
foxbuntusabhain, highlighted how?05:21
foxbuntusabhain, what user is inet.d running as, and what directory is it trying to access, and the output of ls -l /dir/from/error05:22
sabhainhighlighted green .. I think it must just mean 77705:25
sabhainhow do I determine whose running inet.d .. wouldn't it be root?05:27
sabhainshould be trying to access /tftpboot05:28
foxbuntusabhain, its in the conf05:31
sabhainwell now ,, real progress .. i can get a splash screen05:39
BandChow do i check if my tuner is set up correctly. i can set it up as a DVB capture card but scanning channels doesnt work. signal level is zero05:40
sabhainget from the splash to an (initramfs) cursor .. so that's some real progress .. enough for tonight .. thanks for the help all05:45
foxbuntuBandC, which tuner?06:06
ingo86hi all09:39
ingo86i'm searching for an hybrid tv card, which does DVB-T and analogue, anyone could advice me something that works out of the box with mythtv?09:40

stiev3is there a filename length limit for mythvideo recognition?  It seems like it's randomly ignoring some of my longer filenames or ones that contain underscores.14:29
MythbuntuGuest23I'm getting ready to setup my first mythbuntu box. I already have a hauugpauge pvr 150 however the box that I bought is a Gateway GM5483E. This model already comes with a TV tuner. My question is, should I use that one or the PVR-150 or should I keep them both in?15:35
MythbuntuGuest23I cant copy an paste to this window, however googling the compouter and going to the gateway support site, it doents give much details for the tv tuner15:39
shankazuluMythbuntuGuest23: you can check with "lspci" for detail on your tv tuner, and yes you can have multiple tuners in one mythtv setup16:07
MythbuntuGuest23what would be the benifit of having two?16:12
sabhainlaga, how current are the issues with MCC that are referenced in this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5464494&postcount=416:25
sabhainI've navigated through my PXE / TFTP timeout issues (I have / will document in the forums .. I don't think they're bugs so much as perhaps the specifics of my setup).16:26
sabhainBut now, I'm at the point of trying to reconfigure the i386 image from MCC, and MCC for the client doesn't want to fire.  As I haven't enabled the proprietary nvidia in the image, I think the diskless boot is hanging at the gui fireup.  It sits at a blinking cursor for a bit, and then drops me to an (initramfs) prompt.16:27
sabhainbefore I started, i did a complete apt-get upgrade / update on the server .. but I am running 8.04 and not 8.1016:27
stiev3MythbuntuGuest23, with each additional tuner you increase the number of simultaneous things you can do.  Record 1 live program, watch a different live program, record two live programs, etc...16:30
MythbuntuGuest23Thank you stiev316:51
lagasabhain: if X doesn't start, you won't be dropped to an initramfs prompt17:48
sabhaindarn .. was hoping it would be that simple17:49
sabhainseems perhaps the image might be incomplete or something?17:55
sabhainis there a key stroke during the splash to show details of the boot?18:01
tgm4883_laptopctrl-alt-f1 ?18:01
javatexanhey guys have yall seen the new switched digital video adapters for time warner cable?18:32
* sabhain hopes that takes a LONG time to get to his area18:43
javatexanyou are evil18:43
javatexansabain18:44
sabhainwhy's that?  SDV doesn't work so well w/ my 6 tuner mythbuntu setup .. it'll cost me a fortune to maintain what I have when they go to SDV18:44
sabhainI'll pretty much need to get 2 or 3 HD-PVR's (@ $200 each) just to keep 4 tuners up and running ..18:45
javatexanwow18:46
foxbuntu_vmindeed that is my worry as well18:46
sabhainTWC just needs to ditch analog cable .. if they drop the 70 channels of analog, they'd have PLENTY of bandwith to double or even triple their HD offering18:46
sabhainI can convert my HDHR over to OTA .. but as for the other channels .. I'm toast.18:47
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, well you should still be able to get all clearQAM via the HDHR18:47
foxbuntu_vmbut for HD Cable you will need the HDPVR depending on the STB setup from TWC18:48
sabhainfoxbuntu_vm: in my area .. the clear QAM is pretty much the same as OTA .. for awhile, I was getting TNT / TBS  .. etc, but the last 3 or 4 months, the Clear has just been the OTA's with really good signal strength18:48
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, thats my area as well18:49
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, but I get better signal on QAM than OTA18:49
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm ya I don't get my analog stuffs over clear QAM18:49
foxbuntu_vmso thats why I stick to it18:49
jphillipjust my localst and a bunch of garbage18:49
sabhainagreed on the signal quality .. what, you don't like the 5 or 6 shopping channels in clear QAM?18:50
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, nor do I, I think when the switch to digital happens the STBs will still convert to analog signal so it wont matter too much18:50
jphillipsabhain those and the 180 music channels18:50
jphillipalso all the on demand junk18:50
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm ya but then I'd need to get 2 more stb's where I don't need them now18:51
jphillipcomcast supposidly is keeping analog around, but I'm tempted to pick up 2 converter boxes with them free coupons just incase18:51
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, I already have 2. plus the HDHR, and 3 HVR-1800s18:52
foxbuntu_vmand the unsetup HDPVR18:52
jphillipI have to pay so much a month per STB too18:53
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, as do I and they jacked up the prices again so I am looking at just buying a few off ebay or something18:54
foxbuntu_vmI think its 9$/mon now18:55
jphillipI already have 3 STBs, a HDHR, and 2 pvr-xxxs.  I'd hate to have to throw 2 more STBs on just to use the pvr-xxxs18:55
sabhaineither of you actually get a Firewire enabled STB?18:55
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm there was that lawsuit I pasted a while back about a guy suing TWC saying he wanted to buy his own STB and not rent18:56
jphillipsabhain I might :_18:56
jphillip:)18:56
sabhaincomcast?18:56
jphillipyep18:56
jphillipthat who you have too?18:56
sabhainno .. TWC .. and no luck getting anything out of the 1394 yet18:56
javatexannext month18:57
javatexandarn18:57
jphillipya TWC is bad with that, one of the other devs has them and can't get a thing18:57
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, I have my STBs on my pvr150s atm because I am grabbing the digital channels beyond the normal cable band18:57
javatexanso are you saying that these converter boxes dont work well with mythtv?18:57
jphillipthey randomly 5C everything and the STB will say its good on boot but then it 5C's them later or something18:57
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm thats what firewire does for me, with the exception of a few channels18:58
jphillipI guess I could overlap them if I needed18:58
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, yeah, I dont think firewire works in my area18:58
jphillipjavatexan I'd imagine you would be fine, just need to do a lot of IR blasting18:58
sabhainI picked up a STB (motorola DCH) on ebay that just needs an MCard .. but I haven't gotten in to that yet .. part of me thinks they won't even install the M-Card unless it's a TiVo18:58
jphillipsabhain I've heard you can get them if you befriend some of the workers, but there is no policy in place for you to be able to get one18:59
javatexanmy understanding was the communication was over USB not IR blasting18:59
jphillipalso I don't know if there is anything to stop them from firmware blasting the box you just bought18:59
jphillipjavatexan only thing I know of that does usb are the directtv receivers18:59
sabhainhow close are the hdpvrs to being user ready?19:00
javatexanlet me find the link again....hold on19:00
jphillipsabhain whenever .22 is released19:00
jphillipmaybe next mythbuntu release, maybe not19:01
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, things are not looking good for .22 happening in 9.0419:01
foxbuntu_vmseems like the devs have backed off their original comments about it getting close19:01
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm I believe it19:02
foxbuntu_vmyeah19:02
jphillipits a shame I hear that it has some great features19:02
foxbuntu_vmyeah19:02
sabhainso probably another 6 months?  That's livable ..19:02
jphillipin theory a PPA may exist for it at some point as well, you are all welcome to help if you want it :)19:02
foxbuntu_vmits going to be a big feature jump again like .20 -> .2119:02
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm I hear the HD support in it is phenomenal19:03
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, yes, iirc h.264 will be supported19:03
foxbuntu_vmwell, it has to be]19:03
foxbuntu_vmfor the HDPVR19:03
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm BDrom rips are supposed to be very nice in there as well19:04
jphillipwhere currently you'd have to feed mplayer all sorts of info just to get it to play with sound and such19:05
javatexannever mind you also have to have cablecard too.19:05
javatexandarn smaller print19:05
javatexan:)19:05
jphillipjavatexan ya thats not gonna happen19:05
foxbuntu_vmnot until someone gets venture money to pay people to make it happen ;)19:06
foxbuntu_vm....so not likely anytime soon19:06
jphillipfoxbuntu_vm I think its hard to even get your hands on them19:06
foxbuntu_vm:P19:06
foxbuntu_vmjphillip, as a consumer yes...as a business/oem no19:06
jphillipI think I saw pci cards for them but they were like 1k a pop19:07
foxbuntu_vmyeah19:07
foxbuntu_vmthe tech is there, it just isnt used because the cable co's dont want to support it19:07
sabhainjphillip .. PPA?19:23
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, Personal Package Archive19:23
sabhainthat would be for implementing .22 before it's migrated to the main?19:24
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, yes, it will be built so it can be installed via apt rather than building from source19:26
foxbuntu_vmsabhain, there already has been some work done on it, but it is still a ways out19:26
sabhainunderstood.19:28
toorimaany news on the replacement imdb script will come? Or is the problem with low res posters solved for you guys?20:49
toorimahttp://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/591720:51
toorimawill such updates come to 8.10 or will only weekly updates get it?20:51
lagaif it goes into the -fixes branch, then weekly updates will get it for sure20:52
laga8.10 would require an SRU, which is a PITA to do20:52
hadsIt's just a script, download it and change a setting :)20:52
toorimahmm will try that20:53
toorimaanyone tested that script? tmdb.pl20:56
jphilliptoorima I was under the impression that it is currently working fine20:58
jphillipI haven't seen a low res poster on mine in ages20:59
* hads uses TMDB and TTVDB anyway20:59
jphillipif you are trying to get new images make sure you delete the old one or it will just keep that and not get a new one20:59
toorimajphillip: yeah i know, but every new movie i add gets the low res cover21:00
toorimanot sure why really21:00
toorimahads: does it work well for ya?21:00
hadsYes fine. I don't use that script though.21:01
toorimaand what is ttvdb? same as metacleanup or?21:01
jphillipthe current imdb one works fine for me unless I upgrade it by hand at some point and don't recall21:01
toorimajphillip: would you mind emailing me your imdb.pl?21:02
toorimajphillip: do you use regular 8.10 or weekly updates?21:03
jphillip8.10, I'll pastebin it21:03
toorimai dont use weekly updates21:03
jphillip!pastebin21:03
Zinnwhen 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.21:03
jphillipI did use weekly updates in 8.04, so in theory maybe its left over from that21:04
jphilliptoorima http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m103aeb7a21:06
toorimajphillip: thx i'll try it right away21:06
jphilliptoorima do me a favor and compare it to your old one21:06
jphillipso we know if there is a difference or what21:07
toorimaok21:10
toorimahmm its identical to mine21:12
jphillipcould be the movies then21:13
jphillipgot any examples that it happens on, I can try it on mine tonight21:13
toorimawell last movies i've added was mirrors and in bruges and those got low res covers21:15
toorimaeagle eye21:16
jphillipI'll fake one of them and see what it does21:17
lagabrügge?21:18
toorimain bruges http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780536/21:19
lagaah, yes. german title is "leben und sterben in brügge", for some reason i assumed it was a german film21:19
laga.oO(.."bruges is a fscking shithole"..)21:19
toorimaheard its a good movie, but not seen it myself yet21:20
KillerKiwiI have a backend with a wireless connection, is it possible to set the backend to use the IP from the wireless card on startup ?22:48
hadsUse a static IP22:53
KillerKiwinetwork manager cant set one22:54
hadsWeird. Tell your DHCP server to staically assign one to that MAC22:55
KillerKiwiive done that...22:56
KillerKiwibut network manager connects after mythbackend starts22:56
