[00:56] I have installed Mythbuntu 8.10, but there is no sound. I have Hauugpauge pvr 150, so I guess my only option for sound is the head phone jack on the actual computer? I thought I set that to jack, but still no sound. [01:04] the pvr150 should record sound regardless of your sound card- sound won't playback without a working soundcard, but it should record just fine [01:08] So it seems that my sound card isnt working since I dont hear anything. What can i do to enable it? [01:11] This version of ubuntu doesnt have settings menu like normal distro [01:15] back that up, there is a Settings > Settings Manager [01:15] From the drop down menu there is 2 options 1 is defualt the other is 0: HDA Intel [01:19] tgm4883_laptop: a bt878 card with only composite OR a logitech camera. Both work in external programs. [01:40] Does anyone know how to get a capture device working without a tuner card? I seem to keep getting stuck on setting channel [01:47] How can I test my usb uirt to see if it will control my dish box [02:03] I can't seem to get anywhere with mythtv after messing around wihtout for over a day. It appears to not like any capture card I throw at it. the ones it picks up, it doesn't do anything with because of no tuner. and I cant get remote frontends to work off the live cd (first time it asks for database info, it works. second time in the gui portion, it doesnt). After gettign tired with it, throwing random variables doesn't [02:04] ^I must say, the audio cd player works flawless, and a samba mount for video playback worked good to (although very slow to load while it chugged through the files during section load) [03:22] I'm having trouble mounting a samba share on my diskless clients using Mythbuntu 8.10, is there some type of trick I have to do here? [03:22] I've added the share to my /etc/fstab for the clients [03:22] and rebuilt the image [03:23] Once the client has booted I can manually mount the share using the fstab entry [03:23] I would like this to be automatic though [03:28] What's your fstab entry? [03:30] /192.168.200.188/share /media/lacie smbfs auto,username=,password= 0 0 [03:30] That is //192 on the front [03:30] Once I've booted the client I can type 'sudo mount /media/lacie' and it will mount that drive [03:37] Odd, that should work. [03:37] I don't know a lot about SMB [03:37] how can I test my ir blaster ? [03:38] yeah I think it must be an LTSP thing [03:38] where it doesn't mount all the entries in fstab [03:38] I mount NFS fine [03:40] My NAS will only output samba, so that's what's stopping me from using NFS [03:40] Anything in the syslog? [03:40] Tried with cifs? [03:41] nothing in syslog, i'll give cifs a go. [03:41] Came across that just now; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 [03:42] cifs replaced samba for client mounting, thats my understanding at least [03:44] Thanksfully I don't have to know much about Windows-type integration :) [03:45] cifs also does not work [03:45] cifs does work manually though [03:46] just like smbfs works manually [03:47] Seems odd that it doesn't auto mount [03:50] I haven't done anything but NFS in my fstab as of late [03:51] map7: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [03:53] I just tested my server to make sure it auto mounts using the same fstab line as before and my server does auto mount on boot. [03:54] thanks for the link [03:54] Does it mount if you mount -a [03:55] !ir blaster [03:55] Sorry I don't know about ir blaster [03:56] yotux, use irda-utils [03:56] yotux it has commands like irdadump to collect info, irsend to test blasters [03:56] etc [03:57] thankz can't seem to get any where googling for a while [04:01] hads, yes it does mount with command 'sudo mount -a' [04:09] Doesn't make a lot of sense to me then. [04:12] yeah I'm confused as well. It has to be a LTSP problem. [04:36] hads, I just added 'mount -a' to my /etc/init.d/mythbuntu-diskless-client and everything started to work. [04:36] So this looks like a work around [04:58] can anyone recommend a good thread for fixing my nvidia card? I just upgraded to 8.10 and chose to use the 177 proprietary. when I reboot it sticks me into 'low graphics mode' any ideas? [04:59] davez0r: what card, I think older cards are not supported in intrepid [05:01] yeah, i've got an FX5200 [05:01] so its a bit old [05:02] map7: Odd, mount -a is called during startup [05:02] davez0r that's what I'm using on my mythbuntu 810 box [05:03] hads, in which init file for clients is mount -a started? [05:03] davez0r I'm using driver version 173.14.12, I think there is an option to use this version during setup [05:03] map7, i'm also using mythbuntu. when you installed, did you choose [05:03] ahh [05:03] i tried 177 [05:04] I remember selecting the older version as I thought my card was old [05:04] map7: Have a look in /etc/init.d/ it will be named mount something :) [05:04] i just reverted to the opensource driver, i'll try 173 nexy [05:06] davez0r: google seems to agree to try 173 [05:06] you will prob have to hack your xorg.conf some then too [05:07] yeah, i'm running some updates now. can you link me to what you found there rhpot? [05:09] davez0r: http://threeeighthsspacer.com/blog/2008/11/20/geforce-fx-5200-in-ubuntu-intrepid-ibex-810/ [05:10] ahh, beautiful [05:10] thanks [05:13] np [05:13] could someone help me get an capture device going [05:15] the device works in other programs...just not mythtv [05:15] Cool_Nick: you'd prob have better luck in the forums, its hard to get hardware support in here unless its common hardware [05:16] !forums | Cool_Nick [05:16] Cool_Nick: The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. [05:16] its a bt878 [05:36] can some one offer some help getting a ir blaster setup [05:37] kirkland, ping [05:38] kirkland, there's still a problem with the way that you had changed the .config as we just realized in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev [05:38] kirkland, if you happen to be say installing the "mythtv" package, you get mysql-server-5.0 installed too right? well it's not started at the time you run the .config. and the init script isn't available yet either.... [05:38] it's a bit of an annoying problem to solve [05:39] to reproduce it, start with a jaunty chroot with no mysql server and no mythtv-database, "apt-get install mythtv" and make sure you set a root password. you'll get asked again by the mythtv packages, but it will fail through the 5 times because there isn't a chance that the mysql server is actually running yet [05:47] kirkland, and you might say 'set mysql-server as pre-depends', but it already is for the mythtv and mythtv-backend-master packages. it seems that .config is getting called out at the same time for everything [05:47] so i anticipate whatever solution there is to this will be a bit hacky [05:47] kirkland, here's the bzr branch to hack on it from: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythtv/mythtv-fixes/changes [05:53] so I've been trying to get my windows shares mounted and have followed how-to's for smb, cifs, and ssh. I was successful once with smb but haven't been able to repeat the process since. no luck with cifs and ssh even though that's what I see being suggested. could those 3 be causing conflicts with each other? [05:55] or is it just a touchy process... [05:57] windoes doesn't do ssh... [06:00] ok, that would explain the connection denied message with ssh. why would I not be able to repeat my first successful mount with smb... would an update have changed something back that I had previously set? [06:01] culinarian1: perhaps try with another windows box to make sure the share is setup correctly? [06:02] I've already got an existing network with windows machines playing well together [06:03] most samba/cifs issues are security related, so its always a good point to check that first [06:05] so for someone like me who's totally new and experimenting with linux, what would be some things to check. any troubleshooting guides on the web? [13:13] Having frontend errors. Mythsocket(******):readStringList: Error, timeout (quick) [14:13] Hi, visualisations dont seem to be working on Mythmusic, when i press 3 wshile playing music, all i get is a black screen. What can i do to get visualisations to work? [14:15] 4 sorry, (Visulise) [14:24] hello everyone [14:24] have couple questions [14:25] one is,I have mythbuntu using nvidia 7050,over hdmi [14:25] I see there is no audio [14:25] and wonder : does the card convert all analog audio into digital? [14:25] or will only deliver digital audio [14:27] does anyone knows about nvidia 7050 audio over hdmi? [14:27] I dont, sorry. I came here aksing becuse my visualisations are not working :) [14:29] visualisations on a player? [14:29] but based on my knowlege of compute rhardware, i would assume that your card converts the analogue signals to digital since a computer cant process analogue, as for output that really depends it may be converted in to analogue again you'll have to google specs of yoru card. [14:30] and yea, Mythmusic. [14:30] press 4 to Visulize and all i get is a black screen. [14:30] well,a pc can process analog audio for decades [14:30] is not that what I mean [14:31] I think I chose thw wrong words [14:31] I mean to port all audio into the hdmi out [14:31] analog wasn;t the right word [14:31] have a beautifull hd out over hdmi,but no audio [14:32] using a mobo that has nvidia 7050 on board [14:32] (After its converted to Digital using analogue to digital mapping) [14:32] viaualizations might need the files to viasualize [14:33] not sure how it works [14:33] :P [14:33] does the player play video ok? [14:34] yea that parts workign fine [14:34] haven;t played qith mythmusic,justinstalled it [14:34] and trying to overcome this sound problems [14:36] try changeing the default Audio device. its just a hunch and a guess but if you also have a normal sound card on yoru box it may be outputting soudn tot hat instead of the HDMI port.

[16:14] MythbuntuGuest91, yes thats kinda how this works, the clients watch content from the servers [16:31] also live streams? [16:31] MythbuntuGuest91, yes, also live streams [16:36] thanks all for replies [16:36] anyone tested scenarios with many clients connected to one backend [16:36] i mean 10-15 to 1 [16:38] you will need a beefy machine for that [16:38] network speed, hard drive speed, processing power [16:39] and many tuners if you want to do live tbv [16:39] tv* [16:42] I have having trouble chainging channels, for some reason anyway i do it, remote/keyboard I cannot select a differnt channel to watch tv [16:42] MythbuntuGuest91, yea a network that large you will probably want to distribute the load over a few backends [16:42] you aren't doing HD are you? [16:43] no [16:43] but if i have 3 servers, i can keep it in sync? [16:45] MythbuntuGuest91, what exactly are you trying to build? [16:48] I know its a dumb question, but I havent been able to find info.

[16:50] ok one moment [16:51] can you lock other frontends out from viewing a channel? or are frontends only allowed to view unused sources? [16:52] Very_Cool, I don't think you can lock frontends out, but if one frontend is using a tuner, another frontend can't take that tuner from it, it would use an unused tuner [16:53] The only way multiple frontends can watch the same thing is if it is pre-recorded, or if they each have their own tuner on the same channel [16:53] ok logs are posted at: [16:54] . [16:54] * tgm4883_laptop drumrolls [16:55] f59d950c [16:55] is that drumroll for me?

[16:56] lol [16:56] you mean f59d9590c [16:56] what tuner do you have [16:57] i have pvr 150 [16:58] and what input are you using? [16:58] composite 1 [16:58] and do you have a channel changing script setup? [16:59] no [16:59] # [16:59] Channel(/dev/video0) Warning: You have not set an external channel changing script for a composite or s-video input. Channel changing will do nothing. [16:59] what is your source, cable box? [17:00] It was working at one point, however i just had it set to bcast, i now set it to cable. The source is acutally an iptv box [17:01] do you have an IR transmitter setup? [17:01] Just a usb remote [17:01] windows mce one by keyspan [17:02] ok, you need some way to be able to change the channel on the IPTV box [17:02] which most likely is going to be an IR transmitter [17:03] depending on the USB receiver you have, you might have a transmitter built into it, you just have to hook it up [17:03] I'm going to refer you to the installation manual [17:03] !%install% [17:03] Sorry I don't know about %install% [17:03] !%manual% [17:03] http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual [17:04] I do have a remote for iptvbox [17:04] MythbuntuGuest44, you need a way for your mythbox to change the channel on your iptv box [17:05] I see, I have the make and model of remote if that will help [17:07] um, no. Right now you have composite (yellow, red, white) cables going from the IPTV box to your mythbox right? And no other cable between the two? [17:08] That is correct, however on the iptv side the cable is like svideo (or somethign like that) and then on the mythbox side it is composite [17:08] ok [17:09] so my question is this [17:09] How do you expect the mythbox is to change the channel on the iptv box? [17:10] I'm not sure it was workign at one point [17:11] i'd bet money, that you had the cable hooked up to it and only got certain channels [17:11] ie, you didn't have the iptv box in there [17:13] I belive that i was using bcast at one point instead of cable [17:13] but I belive the iptvbox was always there [17:13] but either way i'd like to get it set up correclty [17:14] MythbuntuGuest44, tgm4883_laptop is correct. You need something for the mythbox to tell the iptv channel to change. this is usually done with an ir transmitter. [17:14] well here is the thing, right now, there is no way that you are going to be able to change channels [17:14] what does your IR receiver look like? [17:15] I see [17:16] According to Installation manual it should worlk with mce remote version 2 [17:17] Version 2: IR Transmitter is supported with driver module lirc_mceusb2 version >= 0.24 (lirc-0.8.2). [17:17] it will work with any remote, as long as you get a IR transmitter hooked up [17:17] i think i need to set that up in control center [17:17] some versions don't have the irtransmitter built in [17:18] MythbuntuGuest44, you will need to have a wire that goes from your IR receiver back to your IPTV box === Cy-4- is now known as Cy-4 [17:19] tgm, i see, suggestions on which one [17:19] does it need to be a specific wire? [17:21] let me see if I can find a picture [17:22] ok, it may be eaiser to use my iptv remote?... [17:23] ok, I found one that is half what i'm talking about [17:24] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/IR_Blaster [17:24] in the first picture on that page, you need a wire where one end looks like the non-serial port end in that picture [17:24] does that make sense? [17:26] I see [17:26] yes [17:26] do you have a wire like that? [17:27] i dont [17:27] ok, you are going to need to get one, or build one [17:27] ok would i just be able to use the iptv remote? [17:28] MythbuntuGuest44, you could, but you will have to change the channel manually every time [17:29] I see [17:29] side thought: if you have a remote thats doing nothing, you could probably take it from that. but you would have to hook it up to the cable and serial port etc... (Im sure there is documentation somewhere for that) [17:29] MythbuntuGuest44, is there a firewire port on the back of your IPTV box? [17:31] I dont think so,, I have 2 coax, the svdieo (i think ) that i'm using, and then the ethernet input [17:32] ok, you don't [17:32] so if you want the mythbox to be able to change channels automatically, you will need the IR transmitter [17:33] I see, would radio shack have one? [17:33] or does it have to be DIY from radio shack? [17:34] I doubt radioshack would have one, although they would have the parts [17:34] you could get one online, I believe that website I linked to has some places to get it from [17:34] so, I did some mucking with my smb.conf by the guidance of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 . I backed up the original file to smb.conf.template but now I realize that the original had all the samba settings for mythtv in it. the original command was [ mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.template] can I revert to the original by simply doing: [ mv /etc/samba/smb.conf.template etc.samba.smb.conf]? [17:34] culinarian1, yes [17:35] thanks [17:35] tgm, well i think thats all [17:35] thanks for all your help [17:35] np [17:40] tgm... on that same topic, should I continue to edit my smb.conf to see my windows shares or is there another way to do it? [17:41] you could install swat [17:41] not entirely sure that would help much, but it's the only way i've ever configured samba [17:41] which was a long time ago [17:42] googling now... but what is swat (in the short version)? [17:43] samba web administration tool [17:45] sounds neat, I'll check it out. so far all the how to's I've tried to get my win shares mounted have not worked. I can't seem to access from both directions. it's either on or the other, never viewable on both machines.. [17:46] I could just be overlooking something really simple though [17:46] culinarian1, sorry can't help more, I do NFS only now [17:46] np, thanks for the help [17:50] tgm4883_laptop, could you help me with a card issue? [17:50] trying to get a card working without a tuner (composite only) and cant get to far [17:51] Very_Cool, perhaps if it's quick, I have to run an errand soon [17:51] what seems to be the problem? [17:51] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1e2e556e [17:52] front-end [17:52] MythSocket(8b42500:29): readStringList: Error, timeout (quick). [17:53] look at line 14 [17:53] did you fix that error? [17:55] I think so [17:56] I jump between errors [17:56] I either get that or error about program information [17:56] This is a single system setup? [17:56] correct [17:58] try scheduling a recording and see if it starts [17:59] ok, I have an errand to run now, do that and let me know what happens, I should be back in 30 minutes [18:36] is there a clean way to relocate recordings and still maintain db associativity? I have some recordings in /Videos/Home (probably a dozen or so) that I want to move to a new drive (/dvr/Home) that I recently installed. I'm clear on how to reset the recording location for new recordings .. but is there a way within the frontend that I can migrate the storage location of recordings? [19:10] tgm4883_laptop, you are correct. the recording went fine.... [19:33] laga .. got a problem with some diskless image things. Can't run the update from MCC .. get all sorts of errors related to medibuntu.org / hardy (no public key available) .. and then it doesn't unmount dev or proc. Result is that the backend has to be rebooted before anything can be done or tried on the image .. any idea? forums seem bare on this. [20:00] on intrepid? [20:16] 8.10 [20:16] Amd / 64 bit backend & client [20:17] trying a full scrub & redo of the image now. When originally created, the "other sources box" wasn't checked, and so we had problems getting nvidia done correctly. Went back and re-did the image with that checked, and have gotten these errors since. [20:18] one thing I hadn't done yet was to scrub the overlay when I scrubbed the image, so this time around that's what we're trying. [20:24] there is a problem with MCC - it will still use the hardy medibuntu repo [20:49] laga .. is there a workaround, or should I move back to 8.04? [21:43] found the bug .. I guess I can just update the sources list manually .. and in the chroot === Wy__ is now known as Wy
