Capture Sources. When when i goto 3. Video sources and then scan channels it doesn't find any cahnnels for analog or digital [04:11] i have signal streangth of 99% aswell [04:46] So, does Mythbuntu support the Happauge WinTV2USB? [04:47] I knew about a year ago zero USB TV Tuners were supported, wondering if that has changed. [07:46] Hi people -- I'm new to MythTV. I recently bought a machine mainly for MythTV (Media Center). I'm looking for something that can run movies off the network (and/or) on hard drives as long as it uses dm-setup. I'm really new, really. [08:34] Hi, i am looking for a cheap graphics card able to render full HDTV on Linux. [08:36] Saga_: well, since you bought it for mythtv, why don't you use that? although mythtv is more of a DVR [08:45] Hello laga, I'm looking up on Wiki and Installation Manual. Seems like there are servers and clients involved. I only need to set up a single machine. :o [08:46] laga, And yes, I'm planning to use this for recording too. [08:47] laga, I'm thinking -- Should I just install Ubuntu on this, set up SFTP and whatnot, then basically transfer the movies to there....But then again, the user interface should be very friendly for my family. [09:10] both my Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS and my ATI Radeon HD3200 drop frames, even with proprietary drivers ... [10:18] !help [10:18] !help Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi [10:19] i need some help to configure mythbuntu with technotrend s2 3200 dvb-s2 card. [11:26] how can I view shares on a windows box through mythbuntu, mythtv etc? My system shows Samba running but I don't see where to select network shares from another computer on the network. [13:56] culinarian do you want to just view them once or mount them on boot every time? [13:57] not sure, i'm really new to all this [13:57] the how to's i've seen all involve alot of term work that i'm a little queasy with [13:57] and I still don't understant the linux filesystem arch. [14:09] well if you launch a file browser and type in the address bar smb:\\x.x.x.x [14:09] it should show you shares on that computer [14:09] xxxx being the ip of my windows box? [14:09] yep [14:10] file browser being something like Thunar? [14:17] yep [14:18] you should be able to ctrl+l if it doesn't give you an address bar, thats how you do it in gnome land at least [14:20] I'm using the mythbuntu release that has the xfce4 (i believe). I just tried it with the live frontend with no luck. rebooting my installation to try there... samba may not have been loaded in the live environment. [14:21] yes it uses xfce [14:22] hmm, go to location... I start typing and the [open] button grays out and I get a "do not enter" symbol on the location line... [14:38] culinarian hmmm apparently thunar does not support that, you are going to need to mount them yourself first [14:39] culinarian http://opensource.weblogsinc.com/2005/11/28/howto-use-cifs-instead-of-smbfs/ [14:43] ok, thanks for the help... this'll give me something to play around with until I break something else :) [14:44] ideally if you put it in fstab then every boot it should be there [14:45] I'll keep that in mind when I get to that step. thanks again [14:57] superm1: did you get that mythtv/mysql/debconf bit sorted out, or did you need me to send you another patch? [14:57] superm1: i see you uploaded yesterday, but i don't see it in the changelog [15:00] I'm trying to configure mymote, a mythtv remote control for the iphone, and I can't seem to get it working. I've been google-ing and no luck. Has anyone gotten it working? [15:07] kirkland, i had to do two uploads. the first one FTBFS due to 2.6.28 being the kernel [15:07] kirkland, in my pbuilder i didn't have 2.6.28 so didn't see it coming [15:08] superm1: doh [15:08] superm1: but my patch started working for you? it wasn't working last time we talked.... [15:09] kirkland, it required some modifications to the other postinst to start working too [15:09] kirkland, minor stuff really [15:10] kirkland, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes/changes 148 was yours, i did a bunch of other stuff ahead of it [15:11] superm1: cool ;-) [15:11] kirkland, i realized after i made all those changes that there probably still is a bit of a security hole here. mysql is being called with pw on the command line [15:11] that likely means anyone who is snooping by can see it in action [15:12] superm1: right, i wondered if you cared [15:12] well it's so quick (1 sql command at a time) i'm not sure it's a critical issue [15:13] superm1: it would be a problem for something in main [15:14] kirkland, so how is it usually solved then? [15:21] superm1: see the ecryptfs-utils stuff, where i do this quite a bit [15:21] superm1: basically: [15:21] superm1: the utility needing the password must support taking it in on stdin [15:21] superm1: and then you'd use something like: [15:21] printf "%s" "$password" | mysql --password - [15:22] printf and echo are dash "builtin's" [15:22] so they don't show up in proctab [15:32] Ok, after some playing around with the config, I am up to just getting mysql working. I need to do the "enable multiple access" thing at the end of this http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2 but I can't seem to get the mysql prompt, can anyone help with this? [15:51] kirkland, well the issue is that you still have to pass a command to mysql too though [15:51] and normally that command is passed on stdin... [15:51] superm1: tricky ... [15:52] superm1: perhaps that's what they're getting out of that perl blip? [15:52] kirkland, i mean the only thing i could think is to redirect that password to say fd3 and try to pass it in from there, but i dont know the syntax [15:52] kirkland, yeah that's what i think the original maintainer's intention was, but that perl blip had problems where you could escape the password [15:53] by using extra characters [15:53] superm1: interesting ... [15:53] so what's the lesser of two evils really [15:56] i'm pretty sure it would be something similar to this, but i'm not sure of the syntax; echo "pass" 1>3 | echo "show databases;" | mysql -umythtv -p <3 [16:00] kirkland, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/password-security.html i wonder if that last comment is actually true on linux systems [16:02] superm1: i'm asking kees/jamie === protonchris_ is now known as protonchris [17:13] superm1: ah, yeah, forgot about that. just don't 'export', and you should be safe. environ is private. [17:13] kees, well unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the mysql utility, probably only for mysqldump [17:14] superm1: ah, bummer. you know about ~/.my.cnf ? [17:14] [client] [17:14] user = USER [17:14] password = PASSWORD [17:14] etc? [17:15] no, wasn't aware of that, but how would that be usable / beneficial for postinst though? [17:15] just create a tmp config with permissions only for root and use that? [17:29] kees, ^ [17:36] superm1: yeah, I think you can aim to a file [17:36] maybe not, hrm [17:36] mce remote blaster fails several times a day...the receiver always works, but the blaster will die for no apparent reason and I can never find anything in the logs. Had the problem with 7.10, but found a workaround...fresh installed 8.10 and I cant get it to work. Anyone had this issue before? [17:36] hrm, nothing jumps out at me [17:37] kees, well in any case i think the exact behavior isn't especially high priority as i was saying to kirkland, it's just 2-3 quick SQL commands during postinst only, but if we come up with some solution it's worthwhile putting in [17:38] * kees nods === foxbuntu_vm is now known as foxbuntu
