[00:15] <walker> does anybody else have problems with getting a diskless client to shutdown/reboot? Mine hangs during shutdown, last message: nbd0 receive control failed.
[00:22] <hads> walker: I did on my Hardy image, not on my new Interpid one.
[00:22] <hads> Never figured out why.
[00:28] <walker> mine is intrepid... :/
[03:48] <ioky> hi everyone, I am new to Linux and TV
[03:49] <ioky> I am wondering, how can you check to see your TV card is detected by your system, and running
[03:49] <ioky> My card is Hauppauge winTV HVR 1600
[03:49] <ioky> model 1199
[04:25] <aegis> If I want to use firewire to control my Verizon STB, can it go through my frontend?  My backend is in my basement...
[04:25] <foxbuntu> ioky, dmesg | grep ivtv
[04:26] <foxbuntu> aegis, I believe so
[04:30] <aegis> that would really help...
[04:31] <aegis> I've no idea how I would go about running a firewire that far otherwise.
[04:36] <ioky> thanks, I will give it a try
[07:35] <Steven> Hi all
[07:36] <Steven> Does mythbuntu support ATI graphics cards?
[07:42] <bsusa> hello all
[07:44] <bsusa> could someone please assist me? i  have myth mythbuntu box setup, but now i want to be able to watch all my content on another ubuntu machine, how can i achieve this?
[08:09] <bsusa> helo anyone know much about setting up a mythtv server and client?
[08:26] <tgm4883> bsusa, i'm headed to bed, but you want to install mythtv-frontend on your other machine then use the password from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt on your backend
[08:27] <tgm4883> also, activate the mysql service (or is it mythtv service) on your backend
[08:33] <bsusa> i cant vnc into my machine for some reason when i login it comes to a grey screen
[08:45] <perilousapricot> bsusa, you might be vnc-ing into a blank desktop
[08:45] <perilousapricot> if you use x11vnc (which can be configured from the mythbuntu control center), you can view a currently running desktop
[09:00] <bsusa> k thats all good
[09:01] <bsusa> im having trouble running mythtv frontend now i configured it and when i run it, nothing hapens i look in system monitor and its their but sleeping
[09:01] <bsusa> why is this?
[10:24] <bsusa> hi people
[10:25] <bsusa> i have an issue running Myth tv on another pc it only shows up in processors, it does open on screen, i dont understand
[10:39] <bsusa> anyone here?
[11:30] <bsusa> whenever i make changes to my MythTV backend database connection it doesnt save it next time i go in
[11:30] <bsusa> why is this plz
[12:05] <bsusa> hello
[12:05] <bsusa> anyone here?
[12:18] <bsusa> mythtv how to connect frontend to backend?
[14:02] <tritium> Ah, xfs_fsr is what's making all that hard drive noise!
[14:04] <iamlindaro> tritium, probably not it will not run very often
[14:05] <tritium> iamlindaro: I checked vi ps.
[14:05] <tritium> It's not very often that I hear it.
[14:05] <tritium> But when I did the first time or two, it concerned me.  Now that I know what it is, it's ok.
[14:05] <iamlindaro> well it could ve then
[14:08] <tritium> It's very rhythmic.  You could almost keep time to it.
[21:16] <njbair> is /etc/xorg.conf supposed to be an empty file in mythbuntu 8.10?
[21:25] <tgm4883> njbair, pretty much
[21:30] <njbair> where should i look to change the video driver?

[22:01] <tritium> superm1: do you have a minute?
[22:01] <superm1> tritium,  i prefer contentfull pings...
[22:02] <tritium> superm1: sorry ;)
[22:04] <tritium> I'm workign on libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui.  The upstream tarballs unpack with no version string in the directory name, which dh_make doesn't like.  Do I simply rename the directory?  Or do I need to fix the .tar.gz file so it unpacks with the version string in the directory.
[22:05] <superm1> just rename the directory
[22:05] <tritium> e.g., hdhomerun_config_gui_20081231.orig.tar.gz unpacks to hdhomerun_config_gui
[22:05] <superm1> its usually just a warning when apps complain about that kind of stuff
[22:05] <superm1> i haven't used any starter scripts for NEW packages for ages
[22:05] <tritium> OK, thanks.
[22:05] <superm1> i always copy a nice debhelper7 or cdbs package's packaging
[22:05] <tritium> What do you use?
[22:05] <superm1> and modify to fit
[22:06] <tritium> I see.
[22:06] <tritium> Well, I'm quite rusty at this.
[22:06] <superm1> i just hate how <dh7 puts so much crap when you use a starter script
[22:06] <superm1> it's quite esoteric
[22:06] <tritium> I'm just getting back to basics. ;)
[22:07] <superm1> mind you that's coming from someone who understands this stuff usually!
[22:07] <tritium> Indeed.
[22:07] <njbair> how do i change video driver settings in mythbuntu 8.10?
[22:08] <superm1> njbair, you'll want to open up mcc and pick  the restricted drivers manager generally
[22:08] <superm1> or just start the restricted drivers manager yourself outside mcc
[22:08] <superm1> but if you are looking for specific settings say for your nvidia card, open the nvidia-settings tool
[22:09] <njbair> i don't have nvidia, i have a via mini-itx mobo
[22:10] <njbair> i'm accustomed to using xorg.conf but that's empty in mythbuntu.
[22:10] <superm1> then you dont have a nice gui for doing things with the chrome stuff
[22:10] <superm1> njbair, it shouldn't be "empty", there should at least be a few things in there
[22:10] <tritium> superm1: ick, you're right.  It's actually overwhelming.
[22:10] <njbair> nope. empty.
[22:10] <superm1> njbair, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:10] <superm1> njbair, it will make you one
[22:11] <njbair> heh i tried that this morning and I think i forgot to use sudo. still, i wonder why it was empty.
[22:14] <tritium> superm1: ah, actually, you've packaged the lib already.  It just needs to be upgraded to the latest version so I can build the gui.  I'll apt-get source it, and check out what you did.
[22:15] <superm1> njbair, it could be an installer bug possibly depending on what you selected
[22:16] <superm1> tritium, yeah you can do your first MOTU upload again to upgrade the library in jaunty then too :)
[22:16] <tritium> superm1: will do :)
[22:19] <njbair> well i appreciate the help. google was a dead end on this one. you guys do great work, btw.
[22:24] <superm1> njbair, glad to help.  if you could identify what scenario caused this, i seem to recall some other people having similar problems
[22:24] <superm1> do you by chance remember the options you picked in the installer?
[22:38] <njbair> superm1: i used the alternate cd, that's probably the most unique thing i did. everything else was pretty much stock. i'll run the install again on a vm and see if the same thing happens. if i find something, where should i post it?
[22:42] <superm1> oh alternate cd.
[22:42] <superm1> its not worth your trouble
[22:42] <superm1> we ditched the alternate cd for 9.04
[22:42] <superm1> getting it to do things we wanted was difficult, hard to maintain, and on and on
[22:44] <tritium> superm1: mythbuntu ditched it, or ubuntu as well?
[22:46] <superm1> just mythbuntu
[22:46] <tritium> ah, ok
[22:48] <tritium> superm1: built successfull in jaunty pbuilder
[22:49] <tritium> Installed and verified that it works on intrepid.
[22:51] <superm1> tritium, sweet
[22:51] <tritium> superm1: would you like to review it?
[22:51] <superm1> tritium, realistically about the alternates, they have a low take rate, and if your graphics dont work on the live disk, why would they work on the alternate these days
[22:52] <superm1> tritium, this is libhdhomerun, or the gui?
[22:52] <superm1> if it's libhdhomerun, just go ahead and upload it
[22:52] <tritium> superm1: this is the updated libhdhomerun
[22:52] <superm1> if it's the gui, put it on REVU and i'll take a look later
[22:52] <tritium> I don't believe I can upload any longer.
[22:52] <superm1> cant you reactivate your account?
[22:52] <superm1> i thought all motu's could
[22:52] <tritium> Let me see what I can do.
[22:53] <tritium> I think I'd have to email the MOTU council, get approved again.
[22:54] <superm1> usually it's just on the LP page
[22:55] <tritium> I let it expire, but I'll try.
[23:01] <tritium> superm1: looks like I can't reactivate without team administrator (MOTU Council or Ubuntu Technical Board) approval
[23:01] <superm1> tritium, oh you must have been deactivated before the transition then
[23:01] <superm1> there was a new team made that all MOTUs can enter and leave at will (from what i understand)
[23:02] <tritium> superm1: I wasn't deactivated.  I expired on 2008-08-09.
[23:03] <superm1> oh. well send an email to motu-council then.  if you dont get added in again in a day or two, i'll sponsor the upload for you k?
[23:03] <tritium> Sure, thanks!
[23:30] <MythbuntuGuest10> Hey, I've got an odd question/issue.  I've installed Mythbuntu 8.10, and when the system reboots, Firefox and console both open.  I can't see where they're loading from (nothing in crontab, inittab is blank, nothing in /etc/rc*....any ideas where else I can look?
[23:31] <MythbuntuGuest10> Everything works just fine (although I've got to close the browser, or alt-tab to the myth frontend), I'd just like to not have to grab a keyboard every time I have to reboot the box
