[00:05] I'm also waiting on the Asus P5N7A-EM, with nVidia GeForce 9400, but perhaps I'll just get the Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H, since it's already out. [00:13] I am trying to install mythtv on ubuntu 8.04 desktop. This will be a front and backend. I have installed the mythbuntu and mythtv-backend packages via synaptic... but it seems there are some problems. can someone look at the output? [00:15] mnemonic76, not unless you pastebin it ;) [00:21] I'm trying to watch tv off my mythtv backend from a mythtv frontend running on another host [00:21] I get the following errorRingBuf(/GetPlaybackURL/UNABLE/TO/FIND/LOCAL/FILE/ON/jakob-laptop/1004_20090102010951.mpg): Could not open /GetPlaybackURL/UNABLE/TO/FIND/LOCAL/FILE/ON/jakob-laptop/1004_20090102010951.mpg [00:22] Why does my client think it should playback from it's local filesystem? [00:22] I have created a LiveTV storage group [00:23] shouldn't it be trying something like myth://10.1.2.4/1004_20090102010951.mpg [00:23] ? [00:57] tgm4883_laptop: Sorry, what is pastebin? [01:10] !pastebin | mnemonic76 [01:10] mnemonic76: 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. [01:11] mnemonic76, :http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com [01:15] Is there anyone here to help me out? [01:19] Ahh, thanks... I think I have made some progress... I will let you know. [01:19] I just got a trial membershib on schedulesdirect, and am setting up the backend. [01:25] !ask | chiques [01:25] chiques: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. [01:36] Ok, can you guys look at this? http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/dafb3ccb [01:37] I seem to have the database set up, and I have a trial membership on schedulesdirect. I think it downloaded and filled the db but this output seems to indicate otherwise. [01:38] if I start the frontend as my normal user or sudo, I get the same... the 'watch tv' button just blinks. [01:49] Need some help if anyone can. Running Mythbuntu 8.10 with the pinnacle 800i (HD card w/ ATSC/NTSC/QAM/FM) with a nVidia FX5500 AGP card. When running nVidia 173.x driver I get no HD video. When running no propriatary driver I get HD video, but it's very choppy. any ideas? [01:54] moving question to mythtv-users... [02:28] tgm4883_laptop, Zinn I asked a question hours ago and I didn't receive a response. I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong. [02:29] Zinn is a bot [02:30] !blank% | chiques [02:30] chiques: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory [02:30] that may be your issue [02:32] rhpot1991_laptop, I am unable to get the "Watch TV" selection to perform any task. When I select it it simply flashes the screen and stays at the Mythtv main menu. I've tested with xawtv and my video feed comes in fine (without audio but I'll worry about that later). [02:33] Sorry rhpot1991_laptop I meant that for Zinn [02:33] Zinn is a bot he only responds to commands [02:33] read what he said, it tells you how to fix that issue [02:36] And the logs [02:53] rhpot1991_laptop, hads oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm a newb. [02:54] rhpot1991_laptop, hads I think I found the problem with the Watch TV flashing with no video. First I had to name my video source then I had to define it. It's a bit wierd, I thought all of this was automatically configured. Guess not. [02:54] Now it's time to troubleshoot the audio problem [04:02] I'm trying to set up mythtv-setup on my headless file server using SSH X forwarding. The GUI comes up, and instead of text, I get rows of square boxes where text should be. ANyone know what's up? [04:02] tgm4883_laptop: ran a bunch of tests [04:02] disabling upnp didn't help [04:02] neither did changing the playback profile (still going to look at this more) [04:02] using xine instead seems to solve it though [04:19] SHADOW__X, the US repo will be hopefully fixed next week when I get access to it again [04:29] Audio fixed. It was a connection problem. My audio jack is beginning to be be a little oxidized. [04:51] hi i am having trouple achieving the samba share that i want [04:51] i would like to have a user access a main share but only give them read permission until they reach a directory that is theirs then they can have read write [04:55] so set the samba permissions to read/write, and then set unix permissions to read for everything you want only readable [04:55] Shadow___X, &^ [04:56] hmm [04:56] true [04:58] thanks superm1 [04:59] Happy New Year. I have Ubuntu 8.10 running and would like to add mythtv stuff. The link under "Add to Ubuntu" at www.mythbuntu.org doesn't exist. How can I add mythbuntu to my system? Thanks a lot for your help. [05:01] MythbuntuGuest29, visiting http://mythbuntu.org/download/getmythbuntu.php should work for you [05:01] if not, you don't have apturl installed [05:02] you can just go into synaptic, or adept and install mythbuntu-desktop instead too [05:02] superm1: how do i check permisions i know chown changes who owns it [05:02] but i am not the most familiar with the other unix commands [05:03] To be more specific, the link under "Installing" under "Add to Ubuntu" doesn't work. So how can I "add all Mythbuntu roles to an existing Ubuntu box"? [05:05] MythbuntuGuest29, that link goes to the URL i pointed you to [05:05] MythbuntuGuest29, so once you install mythbuntu-desktop you will have the mythbuntu control centre available [05:06] Shadow___X, ls -alh will show you all files and permissions with human readable sizes [05:07] should the directories be owned by the samba user for RW [05:07] read write [05:10] Shadow___X, that's up to you. you can do it by group instead if you want === N1X0N is now known as Nixon [05:15] so chown -R user folder/ [05:15] because i did that but i changed the group i guess [05:20] i just did sudo chmod -R 764 folder/ [05:20] and now in thunar i cant open the directory although i am in the right group different user [05:21] any idea superm1 [05:22] when i goto properties of the folder in thunar it says the folder permissions are inconsistent you may not be able to work with files in this folder [05:43] hey superm1 i am having an issue with permissions windows side [05:43] i made sure all the permisions or correct in chmod and chown [05:43] reloaded samba [05:43] and restarted it [05:44] but on this windows machine when i right click the folder the read only attribute it highlighted as if something within it is readonly [05:44] no check but still highlighted [05:45] and i cannot make changes to the folder although the user i am using has owner ship over the file [05:45] when i try to rename something or create or delate a file i get the error message that the drive is write protected [05:45] i am going to see if a reboot helps [05:45] brb [05:56] superm1: same thing [05:56] on the windows machine [08:26] im getting an extremely long shutdown time for mythbuntu.... any suggestions? [12:29] What is the latest version of mythtv supported by mythbuntu and where can I get the latest release, i'm having a few issues and have been advised to update beyond 0.21. [12:37] the latest version of mythtv supported by mythbuntu are the almost-weekly builds of the release-0-21-fixes tree [12:37] soon, there will be trunk builds [12:39] How can i update to the latest version, i use mythbuntu 8.04 lts at the moment is it worth going to 8.10? [12:40] the weekly builds should have the same version for hardy and intrepid. if your 8.04 install is working well, i wouldn't upgrade [12:40] I'm having a few problems with recordings jumping and skipping on mythtv, this usually happens after the backend has been up for a few days and the RAM fills to 98%. Recording are totally unwatchable, at other times recordings are great. any ideas === N1X0N is now known as Nixon [15:31] SHADOW__X, then you don't have the appropriate samba write bits set [17:21] I'm setting up a dedicated frontend using mythbuntu, I already have a backend on the network. Which mythbuntu cd should I use, Desktop or Alternate? [17:26] desktop. [17:26] alternate is not supported [17:27] and by not supported, he means it will eat your face off [17:27] Understood. [17:27] But won't the desktop by default install a backend, too? [17:27] you can select that during install [17:27] sorry, "by default" I mean "Force you to install" [17:28] no [17:28] fuxxy, using the desktop ISO, select an "advanced install" [17:28] awesome. [17:28] Thanks. [17:28] it's in the installation manual, which is a great thing. The guy that wrote it was really overachieving when he did it ;) [17:30] so i guess you didn't write it? [17:31] I did not ;) [17:32] IIRC, it was some guy that used to go by the name of gardengnome [17:32] i didn't write it [17:32] no? [17:32] i don't think so? [17:33] the mythbuntu installation manual? [17:33] yes [17:33] was it a virgin birth? [17:33] you know, there are other people in the team :) [17:33] prolly davemorris [17:34] on the first day, superm1 said "Let there be an installation manual" [17:34] and there was an installation manual [17:34] heh [17:34] yea but you are the team lead, so you get to take credit for all the manual stuff [17:35] just like superm1 gets to take credit for all the mythbuntu stuff and foxbuntu gets to take all the credit for slacking off [17:36] you know, if we keep using superm1's name in everyday conversation like this, he will come back to his name highlighted 3500 times but nobody will have actually pinged him [17:36] i'm amused easily ;) [17:36] which is actually good [17:36] because pings are annoying [17:37] ;) [17:37] especially contentless pings ;) [17:40] ping tgm4883_laptop [17:40] laga, pong [17:40] heh [17:40] prolly gonna push some trunk builds tonight [17:40] once i get -fixes working [17:40] -fixes is broke? [17:42] do you know when superm1 will be back so he can fix the us repo [17:42] i'm getting back at the start of next week [17:43] hopefully it's something silly with what broke [17:43] tgm4883_laptop: just some patches [17:43] yeah, no worries [17:43] superm1, sounds good [17:44] i'll update the topic when you push tonight [17:44] regarding trunk? [17:44] -fixes [17:45] I know people were asking about it for the last week or so and wanted a topic update [17:45] yeah [17:45] sorry, life's been a bit rough :) [17:45] thats cool, I blame superm1 anyway ;) [17:48] superm1 would know what to do [17:48] :) [17:48] oh, this is the users channel [17:49] yep [17:49] we will have to just men in black everyone here and make them forget what they saw [17:50] * fuxxy has quit (Connection reset by peer) [17:50] heh [17:50] lol [17:51] * tgm4883_laptop needs a new web host [17:52] okay, new mythplugins is pushed, let's hope it'll work this time [17:52] * tgm4883_laptop crosses fingers [17:53] laga, maybe we should get someone to set up an sbuild for all to use for these test builds w/ ccache and all [17:53] rather than waiting for PPAs etc [17:54] what test builds? [17:54] somewhere to dput, and then ssh and run sbuild [17:54] these are not test builds [17:54] these are real life builds which fail ;) [17:54] oh [17:54] as i said, no worries [17:54] i just need to learn to check the patches [17:55] yeah i forget to do that sometimes too, but luckily local builds catch them [18:19] I have a fresh install of Mythubuntu 8.10 with a Geforce 7300 GT and I want to hook it up to my SDTV with the s-video out. I went into the nvidia x server settings and the twin view option is greyed out, I have not been able to find anything in the forms that worked, please help! ;( [18:36] Crewsr3: Have you put the option into your xorg.conf? [18:36] Crewsr3_1: Your xorg.conf is where you would need to have that option enabled. Let me snag a link... [18:36] troy_s, whit the move away from xorg.conf I was not sure if that worked anymore [18:37] sorry I have two boxes running and two irc's runnning, this is the one on my mythbox [18:37] Crewsr3_1: Well... it's always like law -- lower law cannot overrule higher court law. In this case, xorg.conf is the Supreme court. [18:37] what do I need to change in my xorg [18:37] Crewsr3_1: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.78/README/chapter-13.html [18:38] Crewsr3_1: That is about the only tried and true surefire method that I know of to make certain Twinvew / dual head will work. [18:38] Crewsr3_1: But feel comfortable before doing it as you may be using nano / vi / emacs from the command line to fix your xorg. [18:38] Crewsr3_1: If you bzork it, you will only have a terminal. [18:39] troy_s, let me give it a shot with nano [18:39] Crewsr3_1: With the newer layout however, adding the "Option "TwinView"" might be enough to enable it. [18:39] Crewsr3_1: Make sure you put that in the right stanza. [18:39] Crewsr3_1: If memory serves me correctly, it's in the Device section. [18:39] troy_s, stanza? [18:40] Crewsr3_1: Stanza == block of script / options / code [18:40] Crewsr3_1: You MAY be able to use the graphical tweaks if you have that option in there... you might not need to do anything else. [18:41] dogs call. [18:42] troy_s, let me restart x and see if this worked [18:49] troy_s, ok, I tried just typing "nvidia-xconfig --twinview" into the cli and then I restarted X. Well this did not work so I'm looking at xorg.conf and the chapter said to add an Option line in the devices section. Is this diffrent from the "inputdevice" section? [18:53] Crewsr3_1: I can't honestly remember... there should be plenty of sample xorgs out in Googleville. [18:54] thanks for your help, I'm going to restart x again lets see if this does it [18:54] Crewsr3_1: This is an add on PCI card I take it? [20:35] hey superm1you around [20:35] or anyone that can help me figure out my samba permission issue === tgm4883_laptop__ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [21:03] ANyone here use hte HD Homerun? [21:18] perhaps [21:19] got a question? === MythbuntuGuest21 is now known as Bucket === Bucket is now known as DiscoTech [21:36] I added the tuner as an input.. worked great actually in 8.10 .. but after a reboot it shows those channels blacked out [21:36] hey guys. just a quick question. Mythbuntu is basically a distro of Ubuntu with MythTV pre-installed on it? [21:36] Yeah [21:37] so i don'tneed the Ubuntu Desktop disc then? [21:37] DiscoTech, correct [21:37] yay. now to find a tuner card with in and out, as well as a IR receiver [21:38] no [21:38] no? [21:38] oh, not to me? [21:39] oh, does MythTV connect online to download updated TV guides? [21:39] and if so, does it work for Shaw in Canada? [21:40] Yes it does.. use schedules direct I beleive [21:40] hello [21:40] DiscoTech, $20 US/year [21:40] all you need to install is the mythbuntu disc [21:40] what is $20/year? [21:40] DiscoTech, the guide data [21:40] anyone tell me what i did wrong i hooked up mythtv to a hdtv with r/b/g and it now all blue [21:40] for the scheduling data [21:41] wow. that kinda sucks [21:41] DiscoTech, IMO, not so much [21:41] its well worth it [21:41] @heyheyhey, what card output rgb compoennt? [21:41] yeah [21:41] they support us very very well [21:41] it's pretty good data, although directv isn't so great to have with it [21:41] I agree SD does a great job [21:41] i have nvidia 6300gs [21:42] DiscoTech what else do you have to pay for [21:42] schedule direct is a great service [21:42] @heyheyhey , I just used my VGA cable, works great [21:42] well my 42 inch don't have vga [21:42] it has componet [21:42] dvi to hdmi? [21:42] HDMI? [21:42] thats what she said [21:42] i have componet [21:43] credit card? or do they do paypal? [21:43] I'd say find a DVI to HDMI adapter [21:43] what for neoneddy [21:44] so you can connect the mythtv box to the hdtv via hdmi [21:44] IIRC, paypal [21:44] heyheyhey: sure you didn't mix the wires up? [21:44] i said only have componet [21:44] yes [21:44] also did you tell xorg that its using component? [21:44] red goes to red [21:45] that might be a problem [21:45] whatz max res i can use [21:45] since my tv supports 1080i [21:45] should be able to hit 1080 I think [21:46] What HDTV only has component? [21:46] @disco http://tinyurl.com/9brq43 [21:46] samsung hcm4215w [21:47] when it boots it perfect color [21:47] soon as it hits nvidia logo bam blue [21:47] yeah.. it's the drivers then [21:48] i am using evny drivers [21:48] did you by chance install it with a vga monitor or something? [21:48] yes vga [21:48] IIRC envy == evil [21:49] heyheyhey: did you ever figure out your comcast issue? [21:49] nope [21:49] went back to sat [21:49] what was the issue? [21:49] heyheyhey ssh into the box and reconfigure the x settings.. or remove them and let mythbuntu rebuild them [21:50] I had to do that when I went from s-video to vga .. booted fine in vga then no signal from vga or DVI when in X [21:50] i guess $20/year isn't bad. anyone have any luck doing s-video on ubuntu? [21:50] sshed in it says no nvidia found [21:50] yup, works fine [21:50] I used to have a working component xorg [21:50] looks like its long gone now [21:50] anyone have one [21:50] DiscoTech: should work fairly well [21:51] heyheyhey if you ahve the time try booting the install disc from component, if it works try doing an install with it and it may work fine... but I'm a n00b [21:51] heyheyhey: try adding these to your xorg: [21:51] Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPONENT" [21:51] not gona chance it [21:51] Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i [21:52] Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" [21:52] under the Section "device" [21:52] cool i try that [21:52] ok, so i guess i just need a tuner card with tv-in. if s-video will work for me [21:53] DiscoTech : I got a dual tuner card cheap.. a Hapanauge 350 Ithink ... [21:53] it wil ldo the s-video out as well Ithink [21:53] the 350 isn't a dual tuner [21:53] the 500 is, but it doesn't do video out [21:54] 650 then? [21:54] 350 output is overrated IMO [21:54] i can't get the 350 from my supplier anymore [21:54] if there is a 650, its a digital tuner and doesn't do video out either [21:55] DiscoTech: most of the happauge analog tuners are hard to find now [21:55] hmm... I forget what one I have. but it's a hanpanauge and has dual analog tuners [21:55] i can do a 500. but it's like $200 [21:55] heyheyhey: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ComponentOut [21:57] they've got a 150 [22:04] hey would a USB based tv tuner work just as well as an internal one with myth tv? [22:09] I have no experience.. but I don't see why not [22:09] I know the big thing is hardware mpeg encoding [22:14] would anyone know where i would get drivers for an ASUS My Cinema-P7131? [23:03] Hey, I just did a fresh install of mythbuntu 8.10 and when i run mythtv-setup I get the message that no uPnP backends are found, and then it won't login to the mysql server. do I have to create a mysql user for mythtv to use? === glitch is now known as glitch003 [23:33] Anyone had any experience with the HD homerun and the tuner not showing up on reboot of mythtv [23:34] i think that's a race condition between the backend and the network coming up too early [23:34] i think there are forum reports.. [23:35] but AFAIR, that particular issue has been fixed
