| sabhain | laga, when you check in, can you let me know what to do about /proc not unmounting after chrooting or doing some mcc work on a diskless image. Worked the first time, but now I go back, and I get a "can't umount, device busy on the /proc mount of the image." I now can't commit changes or finish the updates due to this. Haven't found anything at the forums. | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| sabhain | I must be doing something dumb if it's not a common error. | 00:16 |

| MythbuntuGuest66 | can someone help me hook my frontend to my backend? | 05:51 |
| MythbuntuGuest66 | i guess i really need to know how to find out what my username and password for the database are | 05:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest66 | is the default username mythtv? | 05:53 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | sorry i accidentally left the room | 05:54 |
| Shadow__X | MythbuntuGuest20, go under /etc/mythtv | 05:57 |
| Shadow__X | there will be a fill that says mysql your user name and pass ford the db are there | 05:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | awesome | 05:59 |
| Shadow__X | yup also your going to need to enable remote connects on the mysql server if the frontend isnt the same machine the backend is on | 06:02 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | by setting the pin to 0000 and changing the IP to a real ip? | 06:02 |
| Shadow__X | no goto mythbuntu control center and under services enable remote connections to mysql | 06:04 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i just checked and i aleady had it enabled | 06:05 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i got my frontend to the watchtv ... etc screen and it says the backend doesnt seem to be running | 06:06 |
| Shadow__X | make sure its running | 06:06 |
| Shadow__X | does the backend have a frontend on it | 06:06 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i just ran mythbackend and it says couldnt bind port... so im assuming its running | 06:07 |
| Shadow__X | alright | 06:07 |
| Shadow__X | open mythbackend setup | 06:07 |
| Shadow__X | then close it | 06:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | top said it is running but i will try that | 06:08 |
| Shadow__X | if top says its running | 06:08 |
| Shadow__X | thats fine | 06:08 |
| Shadow__X | connect to the mysql database remotely | 06:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | do i need to be connecting with 6543 | 06:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | or 3306 | 06:09 |
| Shadow__X | leave the ports default | 06:09 |
| Shadow__X | but you should put in real ip information in the mythbackend setup | 06:09 |
| Shadow__X | like the ip address of the machine | 06:09 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i did | 06:11 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | it is acting like it is fine and the front end loads without saying "cant connect to db?" | 06:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | but when i go to watch tv it tells me it cant find the backend | 06:12 |
| Shadow__X | can you wach recordings | 06:12 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | when i go to that it says the same thing | 06:12 |
| Shadow__X | you can look at the log | 06:13 |
| Shadow__X | or run it in terminal | 06:13 |
| Shadow__X | i have had that problem before but forgot how i fixed it | 06:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | where are the logs at? | 06:15 |
| Shadow__X | /var/logs | 06:16 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i think it thinks its not the master backend server | 06:17 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | it says "adding tv as slave backend server" tv is my hostname | 06:17 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 06:17 |
| Shadow__X | on the backend make sure the configuration is correct | 06:18 |
| Shadow__X | in the first step | 06:18 |
| Shadow__X | that defines the backends | 06:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | it says connecting to 127.0.0.1 | 06:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | which i changed | 06:18 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | lemme double check | 06:18 |
| Shadow__X | 127.0.0.1 is localhost | 06:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | yeah | 06:19 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | what should my master backend ip be? | 06:19 |
| Shadow__X | the ip of the backend | 06:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | well i mean should it be a real ip too? | 06:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | or localhost | 06:20 |
| Shadow__X | only deal with real ips | 06:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | thats probably my problem | 06:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | brb | 06:20 |
| Shadow__X | ok | 06:20 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | ok now it seems like it wants to play. when i hit watch tv it goes to a black screen | 06:28 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | after that it put a show in my recordings menu but said it was empty | 06:28 |
| hads | !blank | 06:30 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about blank | 06:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i didnt install the ati drivers on the backend machine | 06:30 |
| hads | !blank% | 06:30 |
| Zinn | 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 | 06:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | ohh | 06:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | can it have 777 permissions? | 06:30 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | surely | 06:31 |
| hads | Sure that will be fine | 06:31 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i forgot, how do i add ownership? chown? i always just do chmod 777 cause i am the only user on my machines | 06:31 |
| hads | Bad prcatice :) | 06:31 |
| hads | chown user:group /path/ | 06:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | sweet thanks | 06:32 |
| hads | np | 06:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | was i looking at the right thing that was sayings the default directory was /var/lib/mythtv/recordings ? | 06:36 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i was looking under storage groups > default | 06:36 |
| hads | Sounds right, that's probably not you're problem then. | 06:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | well under live tv there was no group or directory set | 06:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | just under default | 06:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | does my backend need video drivers installed? | 06:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | or do i need to enable any of these codecs? | 06:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | ffmpeg seems kind of crucial | 06:40 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | hauppauge pvr-150 | 06:41 |
| hads | Naw, a 150 encodes mpeg by itself and mythtv has it's own copy off ffmpeg built in. | 06:42 |
| hads | And you will only need video drivers if you want to run a frontend. | 06:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | so all seems like it should work | 06:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | under storage directories > live tv, do i need to have anything in there? there are no directories in that. | 06:43 |
| hads | If there's nothing there it will just use the default. | 06:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | damn | 06:45 |
| Zinn | MythbuntuGuest20: Please watch your language. | 06:45 |
| drfoz | can anybody help me with mythvodka? | 06:54 |
| Nixon | hey, whoever told showed me the command line to ddrescue thank you it works like a charm, I don't know what I was doing before, but now I can rip my dvd's off to my backend | 09:05 |
| ak2534 | So, does anyone know how frequently and by what criterias the mythbuntu bugreports are being handled? | 10:09 |
| ak2534 | I have bug #303549 still untouched even though it was created 2008-11-29 | 10:09 |

| Enox | Anyone have a guess what "Screens found, but none have usable configuration" might be with the NV driver? | 15:51 |
| Antharian | Good morning all... | 15:57 |
| somatorio | morning | 15:58 |
| superm1 | Enox, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log* | 15:59 |
| Enox | superm1- Okay, lemme boot it up and check that file. | 15:59 |
| Antharian | Has anyone played with booting two separate platforms from tftp and mythbuntu? I would like to optimize the kernel for my amd64 frontends and my VIA cpu front ends. | 15:59 |
| Antharian | I can't seem to find any unique pxe substrings to tell what cpu each platform is... any ideas? | 16:00 |
| superm1 | Enox, it's two files, that's why i left the * | 16:02 |
| superm1 | it might be the .old version or the current version | 16:02 |
| Enox | Anything in particular I'm looking for? | 16:02 |
| Enox | Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:1:0:0 | 16:03 |
| Enox | (EE) Screen9s) found, but none have usable configuration. | 16:03 |
| Enox | VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corpriation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1) | 16:05 |
| superm1 | Enox, nothing more detailed on there? | 16:05 |
| Enox | Lemme stuff it on a webpage :) 1 sec | 16:06 |
| superm1 | i'll be back in a bit, so i'll take a look then. just leave the link herre | 16:06 |
| Enox | http://www.l93.com/tmp/Xorg.0.log.old.txt | 16:08 |
| Enox | ^^ Try that :0 | 16:08 |
| Antharian | does anyone know how to grab the vendor-class-identifier during the PXE boot process? | 16:10 |
| Enox | superm1- Any insights? | 16:11 |
| superm1 | Enox, try to modprobe nvidia and see if you can | 16:21 |
| Enox | Done. | 16:22 |
| superm1 | no problemds | 16:22 |
| Enox | lsmod -> nvidia 6909268 0 | 16:22 |
| superm1 | and dmesg shows no errors? | 16:22 |
| superm1 | hm | 16:22 |
| Enox | Lemme check | 16:22 |
| superm1 | whats xorg.conf look like? | 16:23 |
| Enox | I rmmmod'd it | 16:23 |
| Enox | Then modprobed it again | 16:23 |
| Enox | Got NVRM: Loading NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 177.82 | 16:23 |
| superm1 | yeah that's fine | 16:24 |
| Enox | Looks like: http://www.L93.com/tmp/xorg.conf.txt | 16:24 |
| Enox | I'm rather glad networking works ;) | 16:24 |
| superm1 | yeah pretty straightforward | 16:25 |
| superm1 | so walk through this then: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.82/README/chapter-08.html | 16:25 |
| superm1 | that's what they are referring to | 16:26 |
| Enox | superm1- None of the problems listed on that page seem to be similar to mine. | 16:29 |
| superm1 | tge first one? | 16:29 |
| === N1X0N is now known as Nixon | ||
| Enox | superm1- "...does not appear to be receiving interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device" ? | 16:32 |
| Enox | Grepping for interrupt produces no results | 16:32 |
| Enox | superm1- I've read each of the problems, none come close to matching my no screens error. | 16:34 |
| Enox | I haven't had problems with X in years. | 16:37 |
| Enox | Is it better to just install myth on a normal distribution or something? | 16:38 |
| * Antharian fights with dhcpd and vendor-class-identification | 16:39 | |
| * Antharian loses | 16:39 | |
| Enox | Am I required to select screen resolutions anywhere during setup? It almost seems like it doesn't know which resolution to pick. | 16:39 |
| Antharian | Enox: what is your output device (monitor/tv) hdmi/dsub/dvi | 16:40 |
| Enox | It's a normal DVI computer montir. Syncmaster 225BW | 16:40 |
| Antharian | any chance the EDID is not being detected correctly? | 16:41 |
| Enox | The 8400GS card(silent) has DVI & VGA outputs. | 16:41 |
| Enox | What's EDID? :) | 16:41 |
| Antharian | Extended display identificatin data | 16:41 |
| Antharian | basically is is what eliminates all the old ModeLine bits. | 16:41 |
| Enox | It's a relatively new monitor | 16:41 |
| Enox | I've used it with an older version of Ubuntu on another computer with no problems. | 16:41 |
| Enox | A much older version of Ubuntu :) | 16:42 |
| Antharian | Mine is too... but I had issues with it and had to drop back to a modeline command to get it to work | 16:42 |
| Enox | Any way to test EDID ? | 16:42 |
| Antharian | when I upgraded to newer nVidia drivers, this problem came around | 16:42 |
| Antharian | care to try my xorg.conf? | 16:42 |
| Antharian | is your monitor capable of 1920x1080? | 16:42 |
| Enox | Sure | 16:42 |
| Enox | Hmm | 16:42 |
| Enox | Lemme check | 16:42 |
| Enox | 1680x1050 | 16:43 |
| Enox | That's maximum & native. | 16:43 |
| Antharian | hmmm... my xorg.conf may not work... you need to find the video timings for your specific monitor | 16:43 |
| Enox | I figured for testing I'd set up Myth to work with a normal computer monitor and over the air signal | 16:43 |
| Antharian | how familiar are you with the xorg.conf layout? | 16:44 |
| Enox | I haven't had problems with X in like.. 8 years..So I haven't really done anything with it in that time. | 16:44 |
| Enox | It's all worked pretty magically. | 16:44 |
| Antharian | Essentially there are two lines to add to the xorg.conf | 16:44 |
| Antharian | 1 - in the "Monitor" section | 16:44 |
| Antharian | 2 - in the "Screen" sections | 16:45 |
| Antharian | in the monitor section: ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.35 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 +HSync +VSync | 16:45 |
| Antharian | in the "Screen" section: SubSection "Display" | 16:46 |
| Antharian | Depth 24 | 16:46 |
| Antharian | Modes "1920x1080" | 16:46 |
| Antharian | EndSubSection | 16:46 |
| Enox | If I remember correctly the sync values have to be specific to my monitor, right? | 16:46 |
| Antharian | yes. | 16:46 |
| Enox | Lemme do some web searches and see | 16:46 |
| Antharian | so doing a google search on modeline and your monitor name may yield some good results | 16:46 |
| Enox | Does myth have to run at any other resultion besides 1680x1024 ? | 16:46 |
| Antharian | nope | 16:46 |
| Antharian | it will scale itself correctly | 16:46 |
| Enox | Ahh cool. | 16:47 |
| Antharian | what is the exact make/model? I don't mind doing a bit of googling while I hope for someone to come up with PXE boot solutions for me ;) | 16:47 |
| Enox | Syncmaster 225BW. I found a page that suggests it may have higher than 1680..But newegg says 1680 so I'm trying to see which is correct. | 16:48 |
| Antharian | modeline "1680x1050@60" 147.14 1680 1784 1968 2256 1050 1051 1054 1087 -hsync +vsync | 16:49 |
| Antharian | is that the one you found as well? | 16:49 |
| Enox | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&page=63 | 16:49 |
| Enox | I found that but I think it's wrong. | 16:49 |
| Enox | At least.. the 1920x part is wrong. | 16:49 |
| Enox | Can LCDs be damaged by driving them at the wrong hsync/vsync ? | 16:49 |
| Enox | I remember CRTs could be | 16:50 |
| Antharian | I can't speak for your milage, but I know as I tweak mine and get things wrong, the display just tells me invalid signal | 16:50 |
| Enox | Okay I added the montiro section | 16:51 |
| Enox | ...monitor section lines. | 16:51 |
| Antharian | then in the subsection for display inside the "screen" add the "Modes "1680x1050@60" line. | 16:52 |
| Antharian | or as many of the modes you are willing to add into the system. | 16:53 |
| Enox | What's the easiest way to try out the new config? | 16:53 |
| Antharian | Cntrl-Alt-Backspace | 16:53 |
| Enox | Oh wow | 16:54 |
| Enox | I think it's working. :) | 16:54 |
| Antharian | cool... | 16:54 |
| Enox | I connected my HVR-1600 to a antinnea for testing | 16:55 |
| Antharian | now fix my PXE boot question ... :-O | 16:55 |
| Antharian | ;) | 16:55 |
| Enox | This seems like a reasonable way to test right? | 16:55 |
| Antharian | sure | 16:55 |
| Antharian | you may even try the 1920x1080 settings | 16:55 |
| Antharian | see what you get | 16:55 |
| Enox | X config files sure have gotten simpler over the years | 16:56 |
| Enox | Last time I messed with one it was...much larger. | 16:56 |
| Antharian | well, they still can be... depends on how new the hardware you have is. | 16:56 |
| Enox | Newer is better or worse? ;) | 16:56 |
| Antharian | haha... 6 of one half a dozen of the other | 16:56 |
| Antharian | :-!freaking PXE | 16:57 |
| Enox | Should it say stuff about VESA in my Xorg.log ? | 16:57 |
| Enox | Ahh.. I think I'm not using the nvidia driver, lemme try and reboot. | 16:58 |
| Antharian | hmmm? maybe... there are VESA standards for screen blanking and such | 16:58 |
| Antharian | there also may be a few extra tweaks for the card itself | 16:58 |
| Enox | I'm able to rmmod nvidia (lol) | 16:58 |
| Enox | Lemme try a reboot | 16:58 |
| Antharian | in your "Screen" section make sure that the Device specified is the same one that loads the "nvidia" driver | 16:59 |
| Antharian | Driver "nvidia" | 16:59 |
| Enox | Does x64 myth work just as well as x32 by the way? | 16:59 |
| Antharian | VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" | 16:59 |
| Antharian | Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE" | 16:59 |
| Antharian | Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE" | 16:59 |

| Antharian | Option "ModeValidation" "NoVesaModes, NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck, NoVirtualSizeCheck, NoPredefinedModes" | 17:00 |
| Antharian | yup | 17:00 |
| Enox | A few years ago some codecs didn't work with 64-bit..Musta fixed that. It was just with xine. | 17:00 |
| Antharian | that's what I've been using for over 6 months now and have been quite happy with it | 17:00 |
| Enox | Hmm, problem parsing the config file | 17:00 |
| Enox | Lemme see what I messed up | 17:00 |
| Antharian | Are there any tools in Mythbuntu to look at the detailed logs of DHCP? I need to see what the vendor-class-identifier is reporting back from my diskless stations. | 17:02 |
| Enox | It's saying Modes isn't a valid thing to have in Section "Screen" | 17:03 |
| Antharian | it's not in the screen section | 17:04 |
| Antharian | it will be in the subsection "Display" | 17:04 |
| Enox | Ahh.. so I have to add a totally new section | 17:04 |
| Enox | Or is it a subsection of Screen? | 17:04 |
| Antharian | right subsection of screen | 17:04 |
| Antharian | id: | 17:04 |
| Antharian | err: ie | 17:05 |
| Antharian | Section "Screen" | 17:05 |
| Antharian | Identifier "Screen0" | 17:05 |
| Antharian | Device "Device0" | 17:05 |

| Antharian | EndSection | 17:05 |
| Antharian | make sense? | 17:05 |
| Enox | Got it, lemme give it a spin. | 17:05 |
| Antharian | Make sure the Device pointed to (in my case, Device0) points to the nVidia driver section | 17:05 |

| Antharian | tgm: sorry | 17:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | np, future reference | 17:07 |
| dman | anyone know if there's a problem w/myth running w/ an old nvidia 280 sd card | 17:08 |
| dman | I've heard of conflicts | 17:08 |
| Enox | Sigh. Same screens problem. | 17:10 |
| Enox | How hard is it to install Myth onto a normal linux distribution? | 17:11 |
| Antharian | Enox: there may be other options still missing | 17:11 |
| Enox | I feel pretty confident I can install a normal linux dist and X will work..Just wondering if the subsequent Myth install would be harder or easier than this X stuff. | 17:12 |
| Antharian | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d55268a37 | 17:12 |
| Antharian | 50/50 | 17:12 |
| Antharian | the updates are definitely nice to have with mythbuntu... if you can stick with that, over all you will be much happier. | 17:13 |
| Enox | Hmm | 17:13 |
| Enox | I just can't believe X doesn't work. | 17:13 |
| Antharian | Yeah, mine is specific to this LCD. If I move it to my JVC or my Sony, all is good. | 17:14 |
| Antharian | have you tried a newer driver? | 17:14 |
| Enox | Nope | 17:14 |
| Enox | Is one hard to install? | 17:14 |
| Antharian | SUPER Easy | 17:14 |
| Antharian | what is your card again? | 17:14 |
| Antharian | 8400? | 17:15 |
| Enox | Vidia 8400GS | 17:15 |
| Enox | Sorry NVidia :) | 17:15 |
| Antharian | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_180.22.html | 17:15 |
| Enox | How can I kill off X so i can run the NVIDIA thing? | 17:22 |
| Antharian | alt-ctl-f1 | 17:22 |
| Antharian | log in | 17:22 |
| Antharian | become root | 17:22 |
| Antharian | sudo su - | 17:23 |
| Enox | I did that so far :) | 17:23 |
| Antharian | runlevel 1 | 17:23 |
| Antharian | or runlevel S | 17:23 |
| Enox | Aha | 17:23 |
| Enox | Runlevel command doesn't work | 17:23 |
| Enox | says "unknown" | 17:23 |
| Antharian | oops lied to you | 17:24 |
| Antharian | sorry | 17:24 |
| Enox | Tried init 1 | 17:25 |
| Enox | Well that failed. | 17:26 |
| Enox | What's the X process called? It isn't X. | 17:26 |
| Enox | I can just killall it | 17:26 |
| Antharian | init 1 | 17:26 |
| Enox | That brought X up, somehow. | 17:27 |
| Antharian | not, gdm will just restart it | 17:27 |
| Enox | And my CA-F1 stuff just goes to messed up screens now | 17:27 |
| Antharian | you can also do | 17:27 |
| Enox | So i can kill gdm ? | 17:27 |
| Antharian | /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 17:27 |
| Enox | I'll try that after the reboot. init 1 did bad bad things | 17:28 |
| Antharian | you may have to ssh into the box | 17:28 |
| Enox | killall xinit works ;) | 17:34 |
| Enox | Now it's saying there's no valid nvidia GPU on the system . . . | 17:38 |
| Antharian | did you already reboot after the driver install? | 17:39 |
| Enox | Out of curiosity.. Is there a reason I can't 'watch TV' with the limited graphics? | 17:39 |
| Enox | Resolution & such seem fine. | 17:39 |
| Antharian | I think the XVideo extensions are not available with the VESA driver. it would probably be pretty poor quality... but who knows. | 17:39 |
| Enox | It doesn't do anything when I do watch TV | 17:40 |
| Enox | The CPu is pretty good and such, shouldn't need the acceleration from vcard. | 17:40 |
| Antharian | I have a AMD X2 Dual Core 4000+ in mine and watching it without XVideo extentions is not possible. | 17:41 |
| Antharian | if your CPU is stronger, then perhaps you will have good luck. | 17:41 |
| Enox | I'd just kinda like see..something. :) | 17:42 |
| Enox | Any guess why watchtv doesn't do anything at all? | 17:42 |
| Antharian | did you set up and recognize your tv card? | 17:42 |
| Antharian | then scan for channels? | 17:42 |
| Enox | I didn't scan for channels | 17:42 |
| Enox | Maybe I need to do that. | 17:43 |
| Antharian | that would do it | 17:43 |
| Enox | How does one scan for channels? :) | 17:45 |
| Antharian | mythtv-setup | 17:49 |
| Antharian | external program | 17:49 |
| Enox | Ahh cool. Was looking around in the frontend. | 17:49 |
| Enox | 1General 2Capture Cards 3Video Sources 4Input sconnections 5Channel Editor 6Storage Directories | 17:52 |
| Antharian | probably need to go through all of them at some point or another | 17:52 |
| Antharian | but typically going in order is best | 17:53 |
| Enox | I have.. My capture card is in ther and such | 17:53 |
| Enox | I just dont see a 'scan' option | 17:53 |
| Enox | There's a channel editor..But it seems to want to add individual channels | 17:53 |
| Antharian | hang on... | 17:54 |
| Shadow__X | did you do number 3 | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | you have to for channels | 17:56 |
| Enox | Yes.. schedulesdirect is in there | 17:56 |
| Shadow__X | what type of course is it | 17:56 |
| Enox | Listings Grabber: North America (schedulesdirect.org) (Internal) | 17:57 |
| Enox | No data direct lineup selected | 17:57 |
| Enox | Oh wait.. perform EIT scan? | 17:57 |
| Enox | Do I need a lineup selected? | 17:58 |
| Shadow__X | what type of tuner do you have | 17:59 |
| Enox | HVR-1600 | 17:59 |
| Enox | Connected to an analog antinnea for now | 17:59 |
| Shadow__X | there we go | 17:59 |
| Shadow__X | alright so dd you goto schedules direct and pay for the service | 18:00 |
| Enox | I haven't paid.. I'm on my 7 day trial | 18:00 |
| Shadow__X | also you know in a month there wont be any analog service if you are in the use | 18:00 |
| Enox | But I have an account and such | 18:00 |
| Enox | Yes, I'm aware. | 18:00 |
| Shadow__X | you couild t ry scanning atsc with that antenna | 18:00 |
| Enox | I'm sure I'll connect Myth to cable by then.. I just figured this would be simpler for now. | 18:00 |
| Enox | How do I scan atsc? | 18:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | um, you will need an atsc antenna | 18:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | a digital antenna | 18:01 |
| Shadow__X | well you take the cable forom the antenna and move it from the analog input on the 1600 to the digital one | 18:01 |
| Enox | One can't scan analog? | 18:01 |
| Shadow__X | tgm4883_laptop, i thought you just need a uhf and vhf antenna | 18:02 |
| Shadow__X | i used one of those and atsc worked fine | 18:02 |
| Enox | Ahh.. so an analog antinnea works fine for digital? | 18:02 |
| Shadow__X | i even got fm | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | he asked how to scan atsc | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which is digital OTA | 18:02 |
| Enox | I just want to watch anything | 18:02 |
| Shadow__X | Enox, yeah the antenna doesnt change you just need a digital tuner | 18:02 |
| Enox | Ahh okay I have a digital tuner | 18:02 |
| Shadow__X | Enox if you area has atsc then you should be able to see it | 18:03 |
| Enox | Okay.. so I switched the connection | 18:03 |
| Enox | But I'm back to how do I scan? | 18:03 |
| Shadow__X | in video source did you create a new one | 18:03 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, most cable providers are still providing analog at least tho | 18:03 |
| Enox | Okay I'll create a new one. | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, so would you suggest he try analog first | 18:04 |
| superm1 | i've not ready of the conversation | 18:04 |
| superm1 | i just saw that one line that analog goes away in a month | 18:04 |
| superm1 | so i wanted to throw that bit in :) | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | ah yes | 18:04 |
| Shadow__X | wwell i like how all the commercials are trying to scare people | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | its only broadcast | 18:05 |
| Enox | So what am I supposed to put for channel frequency table? | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | you can put default | 18:05 |
| Shadow__X | or us broadcast | 18:05 |
| Enox | Okay.. That's what I had in there | 18:05 |
| Enox | is data direct lineup required? | 18:05 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, i imagine cable providers will eventually switch too - that's a lot of extra bandwidth for them. i'm just hoping that when they do, they opt to open the digital up more rather than enforce a requirement for boxes | 18:05 |
| Enox | I'll probably subscribe to Brighthouse cable because they have clear QAM(i heard) | 18:06 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, well if comcast taught me something is that it will give alot of qam then slowy take it away | 18:06 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, haha. that's too bad | 18:06 |
| superm1 | like a tease | 18:06 |
| Shadow__X | yeah superm1 i was all excited to get qam and then | 18:06 |
| Shadow__X | nope | 18:06 |
| Shadow__X | sorry buddy i tricked you | 18:07 |
| Enox | My video source has no data direct lineup, default freq table | 18:07 |
| Enox | I'm still back to not know how to scan anything | 18:07 |
| Shadow__X | Enox what is the 4th menu | 18:07 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, did you call and complain to get it back? | 18:07 |
| Enox | 4. Input connections | 18:07 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, i am going to today they also took away nbc hd and abc hd | 18:07 |
| Shadow__X | assholes | 18:07 |
| Enox | I have: V4L /dev/video0 Tuner 1 / S-Video 1 / Composite 1 / SVideo 2/Compsosite 2 | 18:08 |
| superm1 | wow that's rough | 18:08 |
| superm1 | !language | Shadow__X | 18:08 |
| Zinn | Shadow__X: Please follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and watch your language. You can find more information here: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct | 18:08 |
| superm1 | btw | 18:08 |
| Enox | Aha | 18:08 |
| Enox | I need to set video source | 18:08 |
| Shadow__X | Enox the hvr 1600 is mpeg encoder so no v4l only mpeg | 18:08 |
| Enox | And then scan :) | 18:08 |
| Shadow__X | also Enox you need to use the digital side | 18:08 |
| Enox | So I shouldn't be using V4L ? | 18:08 |
| Shadow__X | no | 18:08 |
| Enox | I'm not sure how to use anything else.. | 18:09 |
| Shadow__X | its a mpeg encoder like the 150s | 18:09 |
| Enox | It's finding channels I think :) | 18:09 |
| Shadow__X | in step 2 make a dvb tuner | 18:09 |
| Enox | It has a mpeg encoder. | 18:09 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, yeah i know just am angry at comcast they alsocreated a 250 gb downoad cap | 18:09 |
| superm1 | maybe time to switch to uverse at that point | 18:10 |
| superm1 | or fios (if either is available for you) | 18:10 |
| Enox | Watch TV goes to a black screen | 18:11 |
| Enox | Which is an improvement...sorta. | 18:12 |
| Shadow__X | Enox did you scan for channels | 18:15 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, yeah except fios isnt avaiable around me yet | 18:16 |
| Shadow__X | and its not all that bad i can record over firewire on certain channels on my box | 18:16 |
| Enox | I changed to DVB now re-scanning channels | 18:16 |
| Enox | I'm getting nothing at all so far. | 18:16 |
| Enox | I got some things when I was V4L. | 18:16 |
| Shadow__X | are you scanning us broadcast | 18:16 |
| Enox | deafult | 18:16 |
| Shadow__X | and terrestial | 18:16 |
| Enox | default, that is | 18:16 |
| Enox | I'll try us-broadcast. | 18:16 |
| Enox | Scan on default found nothing | 18:17 |
| Shadow__X | use us broadcast and under scan select the terrestial or w/e | 18:17 |
| Shadow__X | also dontselect v4l | 18:17 |
| Shadow__X | use mpeg | 18:17 |
| Enox | I select DVB | 18:18 |
| Enox | So I should use mpeg ? | 18:18 |
| Enox | Scan is producing nothing again. | 18:18 |
| Shadow__X | Enox there are 2 tuners on the 1600 | 18:18 |
| Enox | Yes | 18:19 |
| Enox | It's scanning ATSC channels | 18:19 |
| Shadow__X | one is analog a mpeg encoder one is digital dvb | 18:19 |
| Shadow__X | thats what i am saying | 18:19 |
| Shadow__X | ok good scan away | 18:19 |
| Enox | My ancient antinnea is connected to the digital side(it's longer) | 18:19 |
| Shadow__X | alright | 18:19 |
| Enox | Absolutely no signals | 18:19 |
| Shadow__X | whats your general area i am pretty sure there is a antenna website | 18:20 |
| Shadow__X | also try o the analog side | 18:20 |
| Enox | I got some stuff on the analog side..I think I'll go back to that. | 18:20 |
| Enox | Do i need to select UHF or VHF or anything? | 18:21 |
| Enox | The antineea has a selection | 18:21 |
| Shadow__X | oh you cant do both | 18:21 |
| Shadow__X | ? | 18:21 |
| Enox | Apparently not :) | 18:21 |
| Shadow__X | hmm well i dont really know the complete answer to that | 18:21 |
| Enox | I'll just switch back to analog | 18:21 |
| Enox | I got signals there | 18:21 |
| Shadow__X | yeah | 18:22 |
| Shadow__X | do that | 18:22 |
| Enox | I just want to watch _something_ before I go struggle with why X isn't work. | 18:22 |
| Shadow__X | what provider do you have | 18:22 |
| Enox | This is OTA | 18:22 |
| Enox | I have directTV as well but I'm not messing with that yet. | 18:22 |
| Enox | If I can watch pretty much anything it'll be encouraging ;) | 18:22 |
| Shadow__X | yeah | 18:23 |
| Enox | Okay for analog.. I want MJpeg capture card or mpeg-2 encoder card? | 18:24 |
| Enox | mpeg-2 encoder card fails to probe | 18:24 |
| Shadow__X | mpeg2 | 18:24 |
| Shadow__X | you need to enter thec ards location | 18:24 |
| Shadow__X | how many tunder cards do you have | 18:24 |
| Enox | HVR-1600 has a analog & digital..so 2 | 18:24 |
| Enox | I got it to prove by specifying /dev/video0 | 18:25 |
| Enox | probe, that is | 18:25 |
| Shadow__X | mhm | 18:25 |
| Enox | Yay it's finding channels. | 18:25 |
| Enox | Any guesses why Watch TV goes to a black screen for 30 seconds then returns to the menu? | 18:31 |
| Enox | It doesn't seem to give me a channel seletion ability | 18:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Enox, logs | 18:31 |
| Enox | What file do I look in? | 18:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !logs | 18:32 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu or via command line to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 18:32 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | I have an issue with Mythstream, trying to set it up in mythfront end, it just exits out to the Desktop when I select it. The only thing I notice is that it does not have a graphic icon like the other selections. | 18:33 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | ihave 8.10 | 18:34 |
| Enox | RingBuf(/var/lib/mythtv/records/1003-2009108133039.mpg) Invalid file (fd-1) while opening | 18:34 |
| Enox | That looks like what's going on. | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Enox, post the logs to pastebin | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Enox, if you use mythbuntu-log-grabber it will just give you the link you need to post to us | 18:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | MythbuntuGuest20, same thing to you | 18:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | But I gotta run, so hopefully someone use can help out | 18:37 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | when you going to be back tgm? | 18:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hours later | 18:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | depends on how long this job takes | 18:38 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | gotcha, well if no one helps me i'll come back for you cuz your l33t | 18:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | :) | 18:39 |
| Enox | qtgm4883_laptop- http://www.L93.com/tmp/mythfrontend.log.txt | 18:39 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | i think he's gone Enox | 18:42 |
| Enox | Oops.. Try without .txt.. Just use .log | 18:42 |
| Enox | I forgot to add the .txt and apparently it wasn't required anyway | 18:42 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | Ya but Enox isnt he gone?l....Unless someone else is looking at your logz? | 18:43 |
| Enox | Oh..crap. | 18:43 |
| Enox | I tried to select hardware that would be easy with Myth..I dont know why this is so difficult to get working. | 18:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | what? | 18:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | oh | 18:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | It is way eaiser with mythbuntu | 18:44 |
| Enox | I have mythbuntu.. My nvidia video driver wont work, live tv wont work. | 18:44 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | as long as you have compable hardware it shold work | 18:44 |
| Enox | I have a nvidia card, I have a HVR-1600 card. | 18:45 |
| Shadow__X | Enox, what video card do you have | 18:45 |
| Enox | Those seemed to be well supported | 18:45 |
| Shadow__X | Enox, it would be easy aslong as someone does some reading | 18:45 |
| Shadow__X | :) | 18:45 |
| Enox | GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1) | 18:45 |
| Enox | Shadow- The X problems seem to be quite strange. | 18:45 |
| Shadow__X | Enox, what x problem | 18:45 |
| Enox | I've set up quite a few Linux system.. I literally haven't had this kind of issues with X for over 8 years. | 18:45 |
| Enox | NVidia driver fails to work. | 18:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | Is it correct driver? | 18:46 |
| Shadow__X | i just got something like that too install the nvidia setting manager | 18:46 |
| Enox | The version coming with Myth said there were screens available but none were compatible | 18:46 |
| Enox | The newest version said I dont have a compatible card | 18:46 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 18:46 |
| Shadow__X | lol | 18:46 |
| Shadow__X | interesting | 18:46 |
| Enox | The compatible card is...very strange. | 18:46 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | ya beatz me | 18:46 |
| Enox | I mean it's a cheap card.. Silent and such. | 18:46 |
| Shadow__X | that doesnt sound right | 18:46 |
| Enox | Funny thing is dmesg shows the card :) | 18:47 |
| Enox | before messing with the messed up x problems | 18:47 |
| Enox | I just wanted to watch something on TV to encourage me. | 18:47 |
| Enox | And even that fails. | 18:47 |
| Enox | Though I did at least get it to scan channels. | 18:47 |
| Shadow__X | Enox install the nvidia setting manager | 18:47 |
| Enox | That from nvidia's site? | 18:48 |
| superm1 | apt-get install nvidia-settings | 18:48 |
| Enox | Already have it | 18:49 |
| Enox | Apparently it comes with and is installed by default. | 18:49 |
| Shadow__X | so goto it | 18:49 |
| Shadow__X | either in the xfce menu or type nvidia-settings | 18:49 |
| Enox | Ahh yes, I tried that before. | 18:50 |
| Enox | "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.." | 18:50 |
| Enox | Kinda a catch-22.. I can't get the NV X driver working | 18:50 |
| MythbuntuGuest20 | would someone be able to help me with my ir blaster setup? It's probably an ID10T error. ;) | 18:50 |
| Enox | So i can't use that. | 18:50 |
| Shadow__X | do the command it tells you | 18:50 |
| Enox | k. Did that as root | 18:51 |
| Enox | Lemme reboot | 18:51 |
| Shadow__X | you odnt need to reboot | 18:51 |
| Shadow__X | it tells you to restart x | 18:51 |
| Enox | When I tried restarting X it seemed to go into the 'low graphics' X I'm currently able to run | 18:52 |
| Enox | Using control-alt-backspace | 18:52 |
| Enox | This takes a little longer but at least I'm sure it's trying the right stuff | 18:52 |
| Shadow__X | hmm do a cold start | 18:52 |
| Enox | This is after a warm start--- | 18:52 |
| Enox | (EE) NVIDIA(0) Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! | 18:53 |
| Enox | (EE) Screen9s) found, but none have a usable configuration. | 18:53 |
| Enox | Back to the original error. | 18:53 |
| Enox | Said pleasure make sure there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system | 18:53 |
| Enox | And that the nvidia device files have been created properly. | 18:53 |
| Enox | If I can get watch TV to work I'll probably install normal ubuntu and see if X works on there | 18:54 |
| Enox | I can't imagine there being any problem with the hardware, to be honest. It's a pretty simple system | 18:54 |
| ak2534 | So anyone know how to get one mythbuntu bugreport some attention? | 18:54 |
| ak2534 | This one has been lying around untouched since end of Nov. | 18:56 |
| ak2534 | #303549 | 18:56 |
| ak2534 | mmm | 18:57 |
| ak2534 | bug #303549 | 18:57 |
| Enox | I think live TV might be somehow confused and trying to use the broken DVB thing. | 18:57 |
| Zinn | Bug 303549 in mythbuntu "Technisat Cablestar 2 PCI support dropped in Mythbuntu 8.10" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/303549 | 18:57 |
| Shadow__X | Enox, you can take away the video source from dvd | 18:57 |
| Shadow__X | dvb* | 18:57 |
| Enox | So if no video source is configured to use it.. it shouldn't be used, right? | 18:58 |
| Enox | Ahh wait.. It's input connections | 18:58 |
| Shadow__X | mhm | 18:59 |
| Enox | Is there any way to kill off a single input connection? | 18:59 |
| Shadow__X | you can delete it in 2 | 18:59 |
| Enox | I have "Delete all capture cards on myth1" and "Delete all capture cards | 18:59 |
| Enox | So i have to delete them all? | 19:00 |
| Enox | Eh watever.. killed em all | 19:00 |
| Enox | Livetv still fails, guess that wasn't it. | 19:04 |
| Enox | Backend error is MPEGREC(/dev/video0) Error: error reading from: /dev/video0 | 19:05 |
| Enox | Maybe I specified the wrong device? | 19:06 |
| Shadow__X | could be | 19:06 |
| Enox | It detected a HVR-1600 when I specified /dev/video0 | 19:07 |
| Enox | It just wasn't auto filled in for me like V4L and such | 19:07 |
| Shadow__X | did you select it as tuner | 19:07 |
| Shadow__X | and it it under mpeg2 | 19:07 |
| Enox | MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50, PVR-500) | 19:07 |
| Enox | Video device: /dev/video0 | 19:08 |
| Enox | Probed info: Hauppauge HVR-1600 [cx18] | 19:08 |
| Enox | Default Input: Tuner 1 | 19:08 |
| Shadow__X | yup | 19:08 |
| Enox | It of course fails utterly. | 19:09 |
| Shadow__X | look in the logs | 19:10 |
| Enox | Trying to look in the backend logs for any suggestion of what's going on | 19:10 |
| Enox | There's a "not ivtv driver???" line | 19:11 |
| Enox | Shortly after changing from None to WatchingliveTV | 19:11 |
| Shadow__X | how did you setup the 1600 | 19:12 |
| Shadow__X | and is it a 1600 or a 1800 | 19:12 |
| Enox | MPEGREC(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout -ivtv driver has stopped responding. | 19:12 |
| Enox | It's a 1600 | 19:12 |
| Enox | I set it up as a MPEG2 encoder | 19:12 |
| Enox | Antinnea is connected to the analog side | 19:12 |
| Shadow__X | how did you install it | 19:12 |
| Enox | In a PCI slot? | 19:12 |
| Shadow__X | what version of mythbuntu are you running | 19:13 |
| Shadow__X | no software side | 19:13 |
| Enox | The latest stable version.. 8-something I think | 19:13 |
| Enox | I downloaded it last night | 19:13 |
| Shadow__X | 8.10? | 19:13 |
| Shadow__X | did you do all the updates | 19:13 |
| Enox | I believe so.. let me do a quick update and see | 19:13 |
| Enox | ntp & ntpdate want to update. :) | 19:14 |
| Enox | Now that they are done, no upgrades want to be done. | 19:14 |
| Enox | If I use V4L that just ruins mpeg acceleration, right? | 19:16 |
| Enox | I could try that and see if it does anything. | 19:17 |
| Enox | I just want to see anything work at this point. | 19:17 |
| Enox | Even if it's choppy. | 19:17 |
| Shadow__X | you can try but that wont deliver diserable results | 19:17 |
| Enox | It can't be worse :) | 19:18 |
| Enox | Is the HVR-1600 well supported? | 19:20 |
| Enox | I got the impression it was before buying it. | 19:21 |
| Shadow__X | its supported | 19:24 |
| Shadow__X | afew months ago it was beta drivers | 19:24 |
| Shadow__X | but i have been using it for months | 19:24 |
| Shadow__X | no issues | 19:24 |
| jduggan | guys, what's the minimum disk space mythbuntu frontend requires? | 19:27 |
| jduggan | ah site says 2gb | 19:27 |
| jduggan | hrm | 19:28 |
| jduggan | i want to isntall it onto a usb pen whichis exactly 2gb | 19:28 |
| jduggan | wonder how well that will work ;P | 19:28 |
| Enox | Shadow__X-Okay so... Is this just a case of me not knowing what I'm doing? Because nothing seems to work. | 19:32 |
| Enox | X fails, live tv fails | 19:32 |
| Enox | Or at least the NV driver fails | 19:33 |
| Enox | I'll try a normal Linux distribution next to try and prove out the hardware | 19:33 |
| Shadow__X | yeah its a case of setting stuff up | 19:36 |
| Shadow__X | but dont worry we all hit bumps along the road | 19:36 |
| Shadow__X | iwould help more but i am having an issue as well | 19:36 |
| Enox | I'd feel better if anything worked right..But it's 100% failure. | 19:36 |
| Enox | I'll toy with it a little then install normal linux on it and see if that fails.. if it does I'll feel better and return some hardware or something | 19:37 |
| Enox | On a side note.. The hauppauge remote that cane with my HVR-1600.. Is that supported under myth? If so what's it called? I didn't see anything similar on the list. | 19:41 |
| Shadow__X | i bought the one with the mce remote | 19:48 |
| Enox | Does it say Hauppauge! on the bottom? | 19:48 |
| Shadow__X | no | 19:48 |
| Shadow__X | its a windows mce remote | 19:49 |
| Enox | Ahh.. Oh well. No idea what this thing is exactly then. | 19:49 |
| Enox | is there an easy way to tell if I should be using /dev/video0 or something else? | 19:50 |
| Enox | Actually nevermind.. Let me just go buy some blank CDs and try some other versions. | 19:51 |
| neothecat_ | i hope this is not OT, but has anybody tried connecting a game console (e.g. ps2) a using it through mythtv? | 20:05 |
| superm1 | neothecat_, likely wont be playable with any mpeg encoding tuner | 20:06 |
| superm1 | if you have a framegrabber, it might be doable | 20:07 |
| neothecat_ | i tried it using tvtime, and there is no lag, like i have read elsewhere, but it looks horribile. everything is very fuzzy. | 20:08 |
| hads | Yeah it probably just not a good idea in general | 20:11 |
| neothecat_ | guess i should have researched this first. the only reason i bought the card was to use my ps2 through my desktop. thanks for the help... | 20:12 |
| dman | on install of myth, should I change the mysql5 password, or leave blank? | 20:24 |
| dman | eh, left it blank | 20:25 |
| dman | can you leave it blank, or is it required to change? | 20:28 |
| dman | b/c it looks like the install is stalled on the password portion for Mysql | 20:28 |
| dman | looks like the install crashed - arghhh | 20:29 |
| dman | anyone have any idea why I can't (after install) get into mythtv etc - it won't run at all | 20:48 |
| dman | won't even killall | 20:48 |
| dman | killall mythtv is correct ya? | 20:49 |
| hads | mythtv isn't the application (sortof), I would guess you are after mythbackend or mythfrontend, and on Ubuntu mythbackend.real or mythfrontend.real | 20:58 |
| mustangg | Hello folks. Can anyone provide a definitive reason for the following error while dvd ripping: "DVDISOCopyThread dvd device read error" | 21:11 |
| mustangg | I think Ie managed to rule out in-thread solutions ->permissions, permission, defective drive and copy-protection. | 21:14 |
| jphillip | mustangg I'd say copy protection | 21:28 |
| jphillip | or damaged disc | 21:28 |
| mustangg | jphillip: think you may have it. I _just_ finished changing the drive to a brand new one and the same situation. but after about 10 other dvdś - it works now.. | 21:31 |
| mustangg | I was just sure I had retried one of the discs which gave those errors.. :( | 21:32 |
| mustangg | jphillip: is there something I can do about it? | 21:34 |
| jphillip | well different drives can read different data sometimes | 21:35 |
| jphillip | used to be refered to as sheeps back a few years ago, dunno if its the same now | 21:35 |
| jphillip | mustangg don't use the internal ripper for that, let me recommend gddrescue | 21:35 |
| jphillip | runs from a terminal: ddrescue /dev/dvd/ <iso file> <log file> | 21:36 |
| dollop | Does mythbuntu have better support for displaying to HDTVs than plain ubuntu? I'm having trouble getting a consistent signal to the TV. | 21:40 |
| laga | dollop: should be about the same. | 21:45 |
| dollop | Any advice on where to find a solution? I only get a signal through DVI to TV if the monitor is connected to VGA also. | 21:49 |
| dollop | *VGA connected at startup | 21:50 |
| jphillip | dollop prob your TV not doing EDID nicely | 21:53 |
| jphillip | I have one that does and one that doesn't | 21:53 |
| dollop | Sounds likely - It goes through an AV receiver on the way. I'll check connected direct to TV. Can I override that requirement through xorg.conf? | 21:57 |
| perilousapricot | is there a wiki on how to make the transcoding work? from a stock 8.10 install, it doesn't :( | 21:58 |
| perilousapricot | it's like the defaults are configured, but kinda aren't | 22:00 |
| mustangg | jphillip: from reading about that tool on debian.net it sounds like quite the jaws-of-life for computer media | 22:10 |
| mustangg | is there any way to integrate it into myth - mytharchive sounds like a good place for it.. | 22:12 |
| Shadow__X | perilousapricot, under setup change the default trancoding profiles | 22:22 |
| perilousapricot | shadow_x I see the place, but I don't understand what any of the options mean | 22:23 |
| perilousapricot | are there reasonable defaults somewhere I could just plug in? | 22:23 |
| Shadow__X | perilousapricot, dont use rtjpeg | 22:24 |
| Shadow__X | use mpeg4 for al of them | 22:25 |
| perilousapricot | crap, now I can't find it, where is the config for the transcoder? | 22:28 |
| Shadow__X | within mythfrontned | 22:29 |
| Shadow__X | you should also read the manual | 22:29 |
| perilousapricot | shadow__x, I'd like to help out and put in some sensible defaults that work without futzing with that, would I look to submit a patch to mythbuntu or upstream? | 22:31 |
| Shadow__X | uh dont know | 22:31 |
| Shadow__X | that should be mythbuntu | 22:31 |
| perilousapricot | I think it'd be helpful to at least have the packages installed that the default myth transcode profiles need | 22:32 |
| Shadow__X | i believe rtjpeg isnt preferable | 22:32 |
| Shadow__X | i dont see aything wrong with the end user needed to read a bit and learn about what they are setting up | 22:33 |
| Shadow__X | i understand for ease of use though | 22:33 |
| perilousapricot | shadow__x I see what you're saying about reading up on things, but I don't think it's unrealistic to make sure the defaults actually.. work | 22:34 |
| Shadow__X | heh | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | i guess | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | it is ubuntu | 22:35 |
| perilousapricot | definately | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | it should just work right | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | eh | 22:35 |
| perilousapricot | i mean, if you're making a liveCD out of it, I'd think you'd want it to work with the least configuration possible | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | you can use the livecd as a frontend | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | not a backend | 22:35 |
| perilousapricot | right, but you get what i'm stabbing at | 22:35 |
| Shadow__X | yeah | 22:36 |
| Shadow__X | shouldnt be a bad patch | 22:36 |
| perilousapricot | I'm torn about upgrading to myth 0.22 | 22:37 |
| superm1 | perilousapricot, if you've got a card that support vdpau, i just tried vdpau, it's nice :) | 22:37 |
| Antharian | what benefits does .22 give over 21+fixes? | 22:38 |
| perilousapricot | superml: did you hear me asking in #mythtv-users | 22:38 |
| superm1 | perilousapricot, for most patches, submit them upstream directly and then ask us to pull it back after upstream accepts it | 22:38 |
| superm1 | perilousapricot, no just above i saw you asking | 22:38 |
| superm1 | Antharian, QT4 based and vdpau are the two big things i see | 22:38 |
| perilousapricot | superml: cool, I'm gonna put in a couple different mpeg defaults and maybe a couple h.264 | 22:38 |
| Antharian | vdpau in myth, not must mplayer? | 22:39 |
| perilousapricot | looking at the screen shots, it seems slicker overall | 22:39 |
| superm1 | Antharian, yup it's in myth 0.22 | 22:39 |
| superm1 | on our trunk builds repo | 22:39 |
| Antharian | that's kinda sweet | 22:39 |
| perilousapricot | looks like I'm gonna be hunting for a geforce 9000 in AGP | 22:39 |
| perilousapricot | ... | 22:39 |
| Shadow__X | superm1, is it worth upgrading to that yet | 22:39 |
| perilousapricot | it's 9000+, right? not 8000+? | 22:39 |
| Shadow__X | overall | 22:39 |
| superm1 | perilousapricot, actually some 8k cards too | 22:39 |
| Shadow__X | i read the wiki it should support 80000 | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | would that work on a 8400 | 22:40 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, i'm not upgrading my production setup yet | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | lol | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | ah alright | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | just testing | 22:40 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, i just experimented on a laptop of mine with a 9xxx card | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | ah ok | 22:40 |
| Antharian | Is there any hope of AMDXvBA in myth 0.22? | 22:40 |
| Shadow__X | look at mister money bags | 22:40 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X, it's a work computer | 22:41 |
| Shadow__X | i am kidding | 22:41 |
| superm1 | Antharian, not likely. AMD hasn't published an API yet | 22:41 |
| Shadow__X | i need a new laptop myself | 22:41 |
| Shadow__X | current one has a ati x1400:( | 22:41 |
| Antharian | Shadow_X: you got me beat by a land slide... mine has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 | 22:42 |
| Shadow__X | its also a c2d | 22:42 |
| Shadow__X | ol | 22:42 |
| perilousapricot | mythbuntu 9.04 will be 0.22? or wil it miss the cycle? | 22:43 |
| laga | perilousapricot: we don't know yet. don't bet on it | 22:43 |
| Antharian | anyone know if this Motherboard will support VDPAU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131355 | 22:44 |
| perilousapricot | I might just bone my box and upgrade to 0.22, it's the beginning of the semester, having TV that works is the last thing I need | 22:45 |
| mustangg | jphillip: do you know what size the gddrescue output file should be typically ? | 22:50 |
| perilousapricot | hmm, are all geforce 8400's compatible with vdpau? I found one on newegg for $50, and I have some credit leftover with them I don't mind burning | 22:51 |
| Shadow__X | Antharian, its 8000 series | 22:54 |
| Antharian | so only the 8x series will have VDPAU? | 22:56 |
| Shadow__X | and up | 22:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | hey,p4 2.0ghz 512mb wintv go plus, soundblaster, etc. | 23:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | currently 8500dv -no luck b/c no driver support | 23:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | so i give up after many hours :). however, want to buy a new tv out card (agp 4x ) | 23:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | any recommendations ? | 23:00 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | seems as though the 440mx nvidia there are issues, etc. so last thing i want to do is purchase an nvidia card to replace my ati that doesn't work either hehe | 23:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest33 | ideally want to install 8.10 | 23:01 |
| Antharian | ARG! I have two motherboards still in the boxes with AMD690 chipsets on them... I really wish ATI/AMD would suddenly make the video acceleration available | 23:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest23 | tgm4883 = tgm_laptop? | 23:59 |
