fuxxysigh, I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded and installed mythbuntu. After the installation's done, I'm greeted by what appears to be the livecd desktop, with the "install permanently" icon. I reboot, and my computer complains about "Reboot and select proper boot device" like it can't find the bootloader?05:35
Shadow____Xmake sure the disk matches the hashes05:51
Shadow____Xthen reinstall05:51
Shadow____Xi am having issues with file permisions and samba shares05:52

robbiet480but ive had samba issues before05:58
robbiet480and successfully fixed them05:58
Shadow____Xah05:58
robbiet480i went about it by resetting perms on folders to the running samba user if i remember correctly05:59
robbiet480im a noob when it comes to base samba perms05:59
robbiet480i mostly work in AD/OD auth with samba05:59
Shadow____Xoh ok05:59
Shadow____Xwell the samba user is part of the owners group06:00

robbiet480try setting a specifc allowed user on a share06:00

elkinhi, does someone know if it is possible to delete an MP3 from within mythmusic (while listening)?13:01
karl_hi all ! anyone know how to disable the default keyring password for networkamanger ?14:39
neoneddyI know it's early... I'm trying to configure HD Homerun and still keep my SD cable channels, but have mythtv pick the best one15:28
fuxxysigh. I installed the Nvidia propiatary X driver, now the screen won't come on.15:58
fuxxyIt appears that Nvidia selected 1024x768 as the resolution.. but still nothing.15:59
neoneddywhat card?16:01
fuxxyNvidia FX 5200 I belive.16:05
fuxxyNone of the hotkeys appear to work, also.. Ctrl+alt+bkspc doesn't get me a terminal16:06
neoneddyI always used CTRL + F key .. F7 is usuall X if I remember16:06
fuxxyThose don't seem to work either.16:07
fuxxyI can log in via SSH, however I also enabled the VNC option, but it doesn't work.16:07
neoneddyVNC is flaky on mythbuntu16:08
neoneddyI'd use SSH then16:08
fuxxyNot sure how to get a gui back.. SSH is how I looked at the xorg logs to see what resolution it was running.16:08
fuxxyI'm really not even sure what user xorg is running under, user 'mythtv' or my local user16:09
neoneddyif you kill the config file all together it should defualt to a safe mode16:16
fuxxyokay, I copied the "failsafe" xorg.conf over and the display comes up again.16:16
fuxxyokay, got the nvidia driver installed, and X is working now.16:21
fuxxyNow, on to the real problem16:23
fuxxyI can't watch live TV on *any* frontend.16:24

MythbuntuGuest27hello all. Can someone please tell me, as what user does the network manager (for wifi) work? I can't get my wifi to autoconnect even though I've previously authorized it.16:48
MythbuntuGuest32!wifi permissions16:56
ZinnSorry I don't know about wifi permissions16:56
MythbuntuGuest32!network manager permissions16:56
ZinnSorry I don't know about network manager permissions16:56
MythbuntuGuest32how can I tell which user needs to be added in "Authorizations" to fix my autoconnect to wifi prompting ?16:58
MythbuntuGuest32any thoughts at all as to how I can get my myth box to "just connect" to wifi, without prompting.. I have already looked at available resouces for a solution and no luck.17:02
=== Gandalf is now known as Guest61643
Guest61643Would someone help me understand?  I have Mythbuntu 8.10 running everything works well and live TV is great.  However when I play back recordings I get a video and audio pause every 1 second.  I have tried every setting I can think of but no luck.  The video files saved appear to be okay...  Any thoughts are much appreciated17:05
karl_hi ! i have set up a system with a hauppauge nova usb dvb-t stick and a hauppauge nova dvb-s pci card18:20
karl_i have managed to get tv from the usb stick, and have also before had reception on the pci card18:20
karl_now i have sorted out the udev problems so the devices keep their adapter-ids18:21
karl_however, i can not tune the pci card any more, logs are very unhelpful18:21
karl_scanning for channels worked fine, however, when i try to switch to one of the channels from the pci card it fails with the following in mythbackend.log:18:22
karl_setchannelbystring (xxx) failed to initialize multiplex options18:23
karl_i am at my wits end, any help anyone ?18:23
fuxxyWhat is the location for mythbuntu's mythtv remote configuration file?18:31
fuxxy/home/mythtv/.lircrc on gentoo18:31
wuzleWhat is the recommended way to handle a computer suspend on a combined FE/BE system? I am thinking of having the power button on my remote kill mythfrontend, so mythwelcome will come up. Then mythwelcome will handle the shutdown if the BE is idle. Is this the best way?18:38
wuzleI would think the more expected behavior, though, would be if I hit the power button, and the backend is idle, everything shuts down immediatly. Any pointers on how to set this up?18:39
fuxxywhy the hell won't manual settings STAY SET18:41
Zinnfuxxy: Please watch your language.18:41
fuxxyeverything I change (I use a custom configuration) keeps being changed back. Now my freaking remote doesn't work.18:42
fuxxythe IP address keeps reverting to DHCP18:42
fuxxyand the audio through spdif was working, it's decided to revert back to analog stereo18:42

sebrockI updated to 8.10 from 8.04.1 and everything seems to work fine except video. My Intel GMA 3100 now has tearing and sync problems on all video... possible to fix this or should I return to 8.04.1?19:53
ltspellmanHello, and thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give me regarding my mythbuntu setup. I'm having a really rough time getting my mythbuntu to grab the channels from my hdhomerun tuner. It finds the channels, locks them, and then says that there are no tables for those channels. The end result is that I can't create a list of channels for viewing or recording. I am not a power user by any means; I don't have vast Linux experience and t20:15
CarlFKGeForce2 MX/MX 400 - is there still a nvidia package for that?20:21
CarlFKI installed/ran jockey-gtk and it doesn't suggest anything (big blank list)20:22
CarlFKall I really care about is using the svideo port on the nvidia card.  which I might be able to do if I unplug the vga cable and reboot, but that's kinda lame20:23
javatexani've got a huge mpeg2 file from my DV camera that I want to split into like 10 - 15 clips....Anyone know of a good program to use to do that kind of work?20:50

CarlFKwell, wait... mpeg2..20:58
CarlFKlets rewind...20:58
CarlFKdo you still have the tape?20:58

javatexannope...it crashed...I had to take it off a dvd20:59
CarlFKjavatexan: I think it is best to leave the content in .dv format until you are ready to make a version to distribute, then transcode it to mpeg2 or whatever20:59
CarlFKum, so the file is from a dvd, not a dv cam, right?21:00
javatexanthe tape is useless now21:00
javatexanyeah...21:00
javatexansorry21:00
CarlFKdo you still have the dvd?21:00

CarlFKjavatexan: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddxrpdvh_30cbcph9hb&hl=en21:03
CarlFKthere is my 1 line review of all the video editors I know of21:04
CarlFKI have not tried them all, but I did try lives, was impressed at first, but that's cuz it was one of the fist ones I tried :)21:04

ltspellmandoes anybody know about setting up mythbuntu with an atsc silicondust hdhomerun tuner? i'm having problems getting channels (as in NO channels).21:47
javatexanItspellman: I know there was a user on mythtv-users that was using that setup...I don't recall his handle though...sorry  You might try asking the question there21:52
