[00:40] hello everybody [00:40] Hello MythbuntuGuest84! [00:40] i'm in trouble setting up tvout [00:40] :-( === MythbuntuGuest84 is now known as Diesis [00:41] nobody could help me ? [00:41] i use an nvidia 5700 connecte via svideo [01:14] Diesis, did you try using nvidia-settings [01:27] diesis: I have a geforce 5700 and nvidia-settings works for me [01:58] how do you get things to autorun in mythbuntu [02:07] Shadow_M, what do you mean dvds what? [02:09] autorun programs [02:09] and scripts [02:10] ~/.config/autostart/ [02:10] oh [02:10] yeah that [02:10] There's probably a frontend I don't know about. [02:10] there is [02:10] hmm [02:10] i cant remember where [02:11] It will be called sessions or startup or something [02:13] hmm [02:13] in the menus? [02:14] damn xfce [02:14] Shadow_M: Please watch your language. [02:14] dang xfce [02:16] Shadow_M, and in that directory, they need to be .desktop files [02:16] not just scripts [02:17] hmm [02:18] so put the scripts elsewhere and craft the .desktop files for them [02:18] there might actually even be an application in the xfce settings menus that does this magic for you too [02:19] hmm i have heard that but havnt found it [02:21] i know there is such a thing for gnome, it's possible its not available for xfce though [02:21] who knows [02:22] I think in the settings thingy maybe :) [02:23] And yeah I forgot to mention the desktop files, I assumed there would be stuff in there to copy. [02:23] yeah mythtv.desktop should be in there to base yours off of [02:32] yeah [02:32] but shouldnt xfce have something like gnome [02:32] or no [02:32] i am just asking [03:37] Hello [03:37] hi [03:37] I'm having problems getting the MythTV Database Configuration program to work [03:38] I get the error message Cannot Login to Database? [03:38] I don't think it is the password [03:38] what is having the issue the frontend? [03:38] ll: I think it might be. Why do you think it's not? [03:38] I'm somewhat of a Linux newbie but I've been reading and trying whatever looks like it might help [03:39] ll, are you trying to use a frontend [03:39] ? [03:39] I'm trying... [03:39] looking [03:39] MythTV Backend Setup [03:39] ll, what do you have setup already [03:40] ll: did you see my question? [03:40] I have MySql setup as far as I know. I can start that at least. Other than that this is the very first thing I am trying [03:40] sorry, bit of a slow typer [03:40] ll, did you use mythbuntu or just install it on ubuntu [03:41] I started with gOS, with is Google's version of Ubuntu. I can't remember if it had Myth or not, but I think it did [03:41] ll: gOS is not Google's version of Ubuntu. [03:42] Ok, distro?? [03:42] gos isnt googles distro [03:42] No affiliation with Google. [03:42] gos is designed to use google services online [03:42] You're thinking of goobuntu [03:42] Oh, hehe. My mistake. [03:42] thats all [03:42] Ok [03:42] ll, you will be better off downloading mythbuntu [03:42] I am using gOS for sure though. [03:42] and it will be setup faster [03:43] and add the google services i like later? [03:43] I'll have to download the whole thing again? [03:44] what are you trying to achieve [03:44] then we can go from there [03:44] I only own one computer. I want it to do everything: multimedia, games, surf, etc. I had Micro [03:44] soft windows media center 2005 before [03:45] I think I'd use Ubuntu for that. [03:45] That's just me though. [03:45] I want to try Ubuntu too. [03:45] You can either use the Ubuntu install disk and install mythtv or use the mythbuntu install disk and install ubuntu-desktop [03:46] If you install mythbuntu-control-centre then you will be able to install the ubuntu-desktop [03:46] And then to the Ubuntu install Myth, and then add Google's various add-ons. [03:47] * hads doesn't know about these Google bits [03:47] I'm interested in the Google stuff for portability. Don't have to be tied to one computer to do "normal" computer work. [03:49] So, I'm in the middle of downloading a bunch of stuff using Ktorrent. Since I like to tinker, I'd like to mess with my current installation and see if I can't get the Myth to work. Some of the help I've read indicates that MySql might be the problem... [03:49] I've got a few days to kill before the stuff is downloaded so why not see if I can't get it to work [03:50] I can try via a terminal program and post the results. would that be helpful? [03:50] So what exactly is the issue? [03:51] I can't get the database configured when startting MythTV BackEnd Setup [03:51] Error message says Can't login to database? [03:52] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 [03:52] !mysql [03:52] If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common [03:53] I've done something similar to taht, but you have a couple of things in there that are new. I'll try taht and come back in a few minutes. Thank you!! [03:53] Sure :) [03:58] Ok, got that all done. should I try to run the MythTV Backend Setup again now? [03:58] Sure [04:00] Same problem. Would you like the info from the terminal program? [04:03] Does the message "No UPnP backends found" mean anything at this point? I'm assuming that I'm beginning the installatoin of that.... [04:07] Nope that doesn't mean much, pastebin the output. [04:08] after the graphical program quits, it goes to a terminal program which seems to be doing the same thing. And there a rea a number of messages. Like no error type from QSqlError? Strannge... and some others, but I don't see how to copy them. is there a log somewhere that I can copy and paste from? [04:09] I've tried highlighting the text and control-c but that doesn't seem to work [04:09] I have to head out for a bit sorry. [04:09] later. beer and a lady? === rhpot1991 is now known as rhpot [05:22] anyone alive? [05:22] !ask [05:22] 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. [05:23] Hi Paladine. [05:23] hey trit [05:23] just wondering if it is safe to kill X in mythbuntu or not === N1X0N is now known as Nixon [05:23] I noticed something is tied to the session earlier [05:23] Paladine: should be [05:23] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:23] will restart it for you [05:23] I dun wanna restart it I wanna stop it :) [05:24] should be able to stop there as well [05:24] then start to bring her back up [05:24] yes I know how to stop x :) [05:27] k thanks everything is still running fine :) [05:47] superm1: any idea what TV tuner is in the mini 10? [05:58] tritium, yes. [05:58] Are you allowed to disclose? [05:59] as far as i'm aware not very many details are public on it, so more than likely no [05:59] Fair enough -- I just hope linux support for the tuner is a possibility. [06:03] Have a good night, superm1. [06:03] tritium, you too [06:03] Thanks. [07:38] when i do a scheduled recording with mythtv it watch recording and my recordings directory is empty. However when i go to previously recorded the recording is there. [07:38] thats the entry not the recording [07:41] How much free space you got? [07:42] 16.2GB free [07:42] Not a lot, perhaps your recordings are expiring. [07:42] Check the [07:42] !logs [07:42] 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. [07:44] done. I am welcome to any suggestions that you may have to fix this problem [07:45] pretender, if you used mythbuntu log grabber, post the url here [07:45] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f1ddcdaca [07:49] You've actually got 7GB available for recordings. [07:50] I think your recordings are expiring due to not enough free space. [07:51] Not much log to see there though. [07:55] ill see if i can free up some space thanks === _styelz is now known as styelz [17:12] I need some help configuring my Hauppauge HVR-1600 [17:12] I updated the kernel as well as a bunch of other packages last night, so I had to rebuild the cx18 driver [17:12] but the card isn't working like it used to [18:37] does anyone know why I would get the error "Failed to open frontend" when using dvbscan? === N1X0N is now known as Nixon [22:21] Hello, I want to stream recordings from mythweb, however when i try to configure streaming from Myth frontend, it just quits and takes me back to the desktop. Is there a bug I'm not aware of? [22:22] I have 8.10 [22:23] Need logs for this? Let me know [22:31] you mean when you try to play video, it crashes? [22:32] What are the "Gotcha's" in 9.04? [22:34] duffrecords, are you talking to me? [22:35] yes [22:36] Antharian, "gotcha's? [22:37] well like 8.10 has a banged up static ip issue [22:38] and that is already in full release mode [22:38] ah [22:38] 9.04 knocks up your sister [22:38] we're working on that though [22:39] filthy bugger... [22:41] well, as long as it has a better behaved network config model. The 8.10 is nasty. [22:43] duffrecords, no, When I go to front end and select setup and try to configure mythstream, it just exits out if the frontend [22:44] that make sense? [22:45] yeah, that does sound like a bug then. do you have the latest version? from source? [22:49] I have 8.10 Direct Alternate download iso. I know there was a bug in that one with another issue I had. [22:50] The other thing I noticed is that Most of the selections have a picture, for example for Optical disks have a picutre of a CD, however there is no picutre for mythstream... [22:52] duffrecords, I wasnt abel to find any bugs on it, do you see any? [22:52] or know of any [22:53] I haven't actually used Mythstream before, so I'm not sure [22:54] Anyone else have any ideas? [22:54] does 9.04 have the same 8.10 issue with Static IP's ? [23:03] There are quite a few solutions to 8.10's network manager and that static ip issue. [23:05] not enough reason to go to 9.04 imo. if we're talking about the same thing: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [23:07] The problem with these solutions is that my dhcp3-server won't start correctly until after the system has been booted to the desktop and network-manager starts up... I can't seem to sort out what is up with this... I've tried many permutations of the solutions listed there. [23:14] Other than the static ip issue, I am quite impressed with the performance of 8.10 over 8.04. [23:20] ah, I went on that adventure for a few days too, came out the other side with a working 8.10 acting as my dhcp server/router and a few diskless clients. Probably not qualified to help you out that much, as all I do is combine tutorials until I make a breakthrough :) [23:21] stiev3: did you end up just taking the network manager out all together? [23:22] Yeah, I ended up using wicd [23:23] which from as far as I could tell, wasn't configured to handle two interfaces [23:24] so I then went with webmin to configure everything related to the dhcp server and firewall rules. [23:24] well, I did the 8.04 -> 8.10 "upgrade" yesterday and opted to go back to 8.04 today... but after seeing the difference in performance from 8.04 and 8.10, I want to go back to 8.10 [23:27] stiev3, thin clients? [23:27] I just made a myth backend out of a HP thin client :) [23:29] There's a performance difference between 8.04 and 8.10? [23:39] Antharian, I ended up following this tutorial i think: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=926001 after replacing network manager with wicd. [23:40] And the only pitfall I had was that a certain setting in one of my config files kept being overwritten on resets, and I think the solution was this: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6060607&postcount=5 [23:45] IMO its easier to just tell your router that such and such a mac address gets such and such an IP address [23:45] especially when you have multiple boxes that need this done, then you have a single point for changes [23:48] * rhpot1991 is in love with jumppoints
