[00:10] VladomirJ: check the logs /var/log/Xorg.log.0 [01:03] abarbaccia: my log is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88892/ [01:05] and my xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88893 [01:07] whoops, sorry, didn't see the mythbuntu pastebin link [01:51] how can I add mythbuntu to an existing ubuntu installation? [01:53] kanuha: sudo aptitude install mythtv [01:53] or you can do aptitude search mythtv to find other packages if that's not the right one [01:53] i think mythtv links to -frontend & -backend & -database etc. [01:54] but i'm not positive [01:55] will installing mythbuntu desktop within synaptic do the trick? [01:56] I would like to have the control center and everything [01:57] i honestly haven't used mythbuntu.... [01:58] have you setup a dvb-s card? [01:58] anything under mythbuntu-desktop should be exactly the same as what's in the mythbuntu distro [01:58] nope... i'm still working with analog cable [01:59] kanuha: where you from? [01:59] thx, I'll try the desktop and see what it gives me [01:59] Florida [02:02] kanuha: who are you using dvb-s with? [02:03] and are you sure your receiver will work with myth? [02:03] Free to Air [02:04] I have a PCI dvb-s card [02:04] kanuha: do you mind explaining FTA? i just heard about it a week or two ago [02:05] it's not illegal? [02:05] no, not illegal unless you install extra software files [02:06] many satelites broadcast unscrambled channels like PBS [02:07] you don't get many unscrambled channels per satelite, so it's best to have a motor setup to search many satelites [02:08] do you know how many channels you can receive? [02:09] not anymore, switched from Windows to Linux and haven't found out how to setup my card yet. [02:09] google the model no. of the card [02:10] you can do a search for lysat on google and see the different satelites and channels they offer. It will show you which channels are free [02:11] thats why I came here to find out how to install and setup mythbuntu and eventually get my card working with myth [02:12] mythtv [02:13] FTA is really just a hobby, I have Directv to watch [02:15] It's kinda cool to show your friends that you can watch satelite tv on your computer and better yet when you can do it with a nice looking interface like mythtv [02:15] kanuha: i just ask because I'm thinking of getting rid of cable tv as soon as my cable co. makes me rent their box which is prolly incompatible with mythtv [02:15] kanuha: boxee is actually a better interface than mythtv [02:16] well, not yet... but as soon as it's stable, boxee is gonna be everywhere [02:16] it's still in alpha stages right now [02:16] I will look it up, thx [02:16] it's invite only, so if you'd like one... just ask [02:17] kanuha: what bands do you use with FTA? [02:17] not sure what you mean by bands [02:18] the lyngsat site lists providers that use different bads, i believe? [02:19] do you use a motor on your dish? [02:25] yes I use/d motor. I believe it is ku band [02:25] wow boxee looks and sounds cool [02:26] yea, you can watch recorded myth feed just by adding "myth://localhost" [02:26] pretty sweet [02:26] can I get it by entering my email on their page? [02:27] nope... invite only [02:27] want one? [02:28] yes please [02:29] email? [02:30] sent in a separate window [02:31] sent... i think [02:32] the newest version is pretty buggy for me because they just added a bunch of features, but in a couple weeks... it should be pretty stable again [02:34] got it, thx. from the video they showed if they can get it stable it will be sweet [02:35] very [02:40] installing now [02:40] kanuha: do you know what provider you have for FTA? [02:41] i'm in gulfport, ms ... so it shouldn't be much different from yours [02:42] no provider, just an old dish network dish 500 [02:43] hmm... so how do you set it up then? [02:43] aren't there files you need to update every month or something? [02:43] or is that for the pay channels? [02:43] so confused by FTA [02:45] no files for real fta. most frontends (at least on the windows side) come with a satelite list, you just pick the one you are aimed at and scan for channels [02:46] so every satellite will offer you different stations? [02:47] it's important with real fta to do a scan as often as possible. sometimes you will get lucky and get a channel that should be scrambled but isn't [02:47] but they don't last too long before they do scramble it [02:48] I think it just happens when they move channels around [02:49] not every satelite offers you a different channel. Some satelites have the same channels or at least show the same programs on say like PBS at the same time [02:51] strange [02:51] I'm a PBS watcher, for my kids. nice clean channels. but fta is real limited. I wouldn't use it as my primary means of tv [02:53] i'm thinking of going mostly all boxee & OTA-HD once the cable co stops offering analog cable [02:53] soo... FTA might not be so bad [02:54] kanuha: what other channels do you get? discovery? national geographic? spiketv? comedy central? (prolly not the last two) [02:58] I wish I could remember, I switched back and forth between directv and fta. so not really sure what i watch on what device. Like I said, it was just a hobby, a cool thing to show friends. [03:00] I know there is more you can do with it, but I haven't gone that route. My brother-in-law orders all the fights (boxing & ufc) and his friends pitch in for the cost. I get in free as a family member :-) [03:01] He has a projection system that is unreal, takes up the whole wall [03:02] just watched the del la hoya fight and they were larger than life === ball is now known as ball_ [03:15] kanuha: what kinda dvb-s card you got? [03:26] skystar2 PCI or something like that [03:35] i have mythbuntu control center installed on ubuntu 8.4 but it's not working correctly [03:35] mysql server connection fails [03:35] any ideas [03:36] i have this setup on a mac book pro with vmware fusion [03:44] hello [03:52] can anyone see my messages, i'm having some connectivity problems [04:14] What is the process for installing Mythbuntu 8.10 on a non x64 CPU? The LiveCD install envoironment doesn't load. [07:18] !help [07:18] !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 [07:21] Hi, I'm trying to get a Happauge WinTV-HVR-1600 tuner card working under Mythbuntu 8.10 and having trouble. On the front-end, when I try to click "Watch TV", the screen jumps and nothing happens. I've complied and installed drivers from Happauge's site, but how can I be sure the drivers were installed and now function properly? [10:51] Hey dos eny one now how i can get to se BD movies on my mythbuntu? [13:56] hello, i have added deb http://weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu-trunk/ubuntu intrepid main multiverse universe restricted main to /etc/apt/sources.list but mythtv only shows mythtv-common 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 [14:02] btw. is the weekly build of the SVN version of mythTV still availables [14:02] ? [14:03] it seems as if the last build is from march?! [14:03] I have a slight problem, today my mythbuntu stopped showing TV. I get failed to get pginfo as an error message when run in a terminal .... I am unsure howto troubleshoot this since I know very little of DVB cards ... all help appreciated [15:24] anyone else had the dvb quitting alltogether [15:24] I am getting channels when scanning but no tv [15:46] hmmm, very silent crowd [17:13] when i select shutdown from the frontend i believe it halts the machine but does not actually power off. is this expected functionality from DBUS/HAL or a misconfiguration of my system? [17:48] I got a mythtv app for my ipod touch, that acts as a remote, called MyMote. However, it only works through the menu system and when I play an mpeg, not for any other file type, anyone have any more experience with this app? [22:11] anyone here use a ATI TV Wonder VE ? [22:14] and after the new kernel upgrade on 9.04 I can't do more than 1024x768 over vga port [23:08] tgm4883_laptop: around?
