| snospar | Hi, I just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and while everything seems to be working OK (after a couple of tweaks here and there), I've noticed the odd stutter during playback that wasn't there before the upgrade. The stutter happens infrequently (say 10-20 minutes apart) and lasts for only a second or two. Depending on the sound/dialogue at that moment you can get a sort of "Max-Headroom" or "N-n-n-n-nineteen" effect. I'm | 01:46 |

| daveo78 | Hi all, my settings table does not have a primaru key and is not letting me edit it. Is this something I change with my mysql db or do I add a primary key to it? | 02:46 |
| mtn_biker_mike | need help setting up a winfast a250TD Nvidia Geforce4 TI 4400 Graphics card | 03:30 |
| mtn_biker_mike | where can I get some help with Nvidia setup? | 04:10 |
| quinten | this is a stupid question...but where can i find out what my mysql root password is? | 04:47 |
| quinten | i didn't write it down in the initial mythbuntu setup | 04:47 |
| quinten | do i need to reset it? | 04:47 |
| rhpot1991 | !mysql | quinten | 04:49 |
| Zinn | quinten: 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 | 04:49 |
| rhpot1991 | there is how to reset it | 04:50 |
| quinten | okay, so i do need to reset it | 04:50 |
| quinten | does mythtv rely on the root password anywhere, or can i skip reconfigure myth? | 04:51 |
| rhpot1991 | I doubt you will be able to find it, unless you used a password you normally use, or didn't set one (it is null by default, and only accessible locally) | 04:51 |
| rhpot1991 | quinten: only relies on it in the initial setup | 04:51 |
| rhpot1991 | so if you don't do the reconfigure mythtv things mentioned above then everything should remain the same | 04:51 |
| quinten | okay, thanks | 04:52 |
| Demerzel | howdy folks | 06:07 |
| Demerzel | anyone here know how long it takes to build a diskless image? | 06:08 |
| Demerzel | using mythbuntu 8.10 | 06:08 |
| hads | Dependant on your hardware. | 06:46 |
| hads | Mine takes a couple minutes | 06:46 |
| Finswimmer | Hello, in which format must be an "umlaut" üöä or a special sign "'?@ etc. to get displayed correctly in EPG Data? | 14:11 |
| Demerzel | morning folks | 15:10 |
| Demerzel | anyone here who uses diskless myth frontends with 8.10 who can tell me how they perform over a 100Mbps network? | 15:11 |
| Demerzel | i'm wondering about lag and other issues viewing hd content | 15:11 |
| acloseX | good morning, anybody out there? | 16:07 |
| rhpot1991 | !ask | 16:07 |
| Zinn | 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. | 16:07 |
| acloseX | :) | 16:08 |
| acloseX | ok, i'm trying to get dvd's to play through myth and am not having any luck | 16:08 |
| acloseX | i've already installed all the requisite libs | 16:08 |
| acloseX | for some reason myth just doesn't want to mount the drive | 16:09 |
| acloseX | i have it listed in /etc/fstab | 16:09 |
| acloseX | #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 16:10 |
| acloseX | #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 16:10 |
| Demerzel | finally my diskless image finished building | 16:10 |
| acloseX | i've tried both settings, /media/cdrom and /media/dvd | 16:10 |
| Demerzel | acloseX: both settings where? | 16:11 |
| acloseX | i've tried both in /etc/fstab and in the myth settings under setup.. video... | 16:11 |
| Demerzel | hmm | 16:12 |
| Demerzel | in myth under setup you're probably looking at trying the actual device name | 16:12 |
| acloseX | it's like Myth just doesn't see it | 16:12 |
| Demerzel | i believe /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd should point to /dev/scd0 anyway | 16:12 |
| Demerzel | it's a symlink | 16:12 |
| acloseX | although, typing mount at the cmd i can see that the drive does get moounted | 16:12 |
| acloseX | yes, that's the way it appears to be set up | 16:12 |
| Demerzel | change to using the device instead of the mount point in the mythtv setup | 16:13 |
| Demerzel | it's been a while since i played with dvds unfortunately so i'm speaking from memory | 16:13 |
| acloseX | try /dev/scd0? | 16:13 |
| Demerzel | yes | 16:13 |
| Demerzel | as the dvd device | 16:13 |
| Demerzel | in mythtv settings | 16:14 |
| acloseX | ok :) | 16:15 |
| acloseX | i thought i had tried that | 16:15 |
| Demerzel | ah | 16:15 |
| acloseX | any thought as to why Myth defaults to /dev/cdrom0 then? | 16:15 |
| Demerzel | anything in the frontend logs when you try to play dvds? | 16:15 |
| Demerzel | hmm not sure | 16:15 |
| Demerzel | is cdrom0 referenced anywhere in your fstab? | 16:16 |
| acloseX | it was originally | 16:16 |
| Demerzel | just for kicks | 16:16 |
| acloseX | but then i changed it to /dev/dev and created the symlinks | 16:16 |
| Demerzel | try creating the /dev/cdrom0 symlink to point to /dev/sdc0 | 16:16 |
| Demerzel | scd0 | 16:16 |
| Demerzel | does that work? | 16:16 |
| acloseX | tha's the way it was originally | 16:16 |
| Demerzel | ok | 16:17 |
| Demerzel | let me make sure i understand your setup then | 16:17 |
| acloseX | but i didn't try /dev/scd0 in the myth settings at that point | 16:17 |
| Demerzel | i think i'm getting confused :) | 16:17 |
| Demerzel | you have /etc/fstab mentioning /dev/scd0 | 16:17 |
| acloseX | sorry :) | 16:17 |
| Demerzel | you have /dev/scd0 as a device | 16:17 |
| Demerzel | and the following are symlinks to /dev/scd0: /dev/cdrom0, /dev/cdrom | 16:18 |
| Demerzel | is that accurate? | 16:18 |
| acloseX | i think it was :) | 16:18 |
| Demerzel | heh | 16:19 |
| acloseX | fstab originally pointed to /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom0 | 16:19 |
| acloseX | and there were symlinks in /media for cdrom -> cdrom0 | 16:19 |
| Demerzel | right | 16:19 |
| acloseX | myth settings originally referenced cdrom | 16:19 |
| Demerzel | did fstab originally have a line like so: | 16:20 |
| Demerzel | /dev/cdrom0 /media/cdrom0 <etc etc> | 16:20 |
| acloseX | it was originally: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 16:20 |
| Demerzel | ah ok | 16:21 |
| acloseX | which, after monkeying around, i had changed to: /dev/scd0 /media/dvd0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 16:21 |
| Demerzel | right | 16:21 |
| Demerzel | now how is your mythdvd plugin configured? | 16:21 |
| Demerzel | i'm assuming that's what you're trying to configure | 16:22 |
| acloseX | in the utilities/setup/etc... menu? | 16:22 |
| Demerzel | yes | 16:22 |
| acloseX | it's now pointing to /dev/scd0 | 16:22 |
| acloseX | but originally pointied to /dev/cdrom | 16:22 |
| acloseX | then i changed the fstab to /dev/dvd and the myth settings to reference /dev/dvd | 16:23 |
| acloseX | but switching to the /dev/scd0 device seemed to be te answer | 16:23 |
| acloseX | sorry if that's confusing :) | 16:23 |
| acloseX | i've been playing with this for three days now :) | 16:23 |
| Demerzel | heh | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | ok so the optical drive device (not sure what the setting is labelled) is set to /dev/scd0 right now? | 16:24 |
| acloseX | correct | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | what's the dvd player set to? | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | Internal? | 16:24 |
| acloseX | yes | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | or are you using e.g. xine to play | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | ok | 16:24 |
| acloseX | Internal | 16:24 |
| Demerzel | hmmm that should work | 16:25 |
| acloseX | appears to | 16:25 |
| acloseX | thanks :) | 16:25 |
| Demerzel | oh ok | 16:25 |
| Demerzel | cool | 16:25 |
| Demerzel | np :) i'm not sure i did anything heh | 16:25 |
| Demerzel | on to my diskless frontend | 16:25 |
| acloseX | wel, had me try another new direction | 16:25 |
| acloseX | good luck | 16:25 |
| acloseX | and thanks again | 16:25 |
| Demerzel | danke schon! | 16:26 |
| Demerzel | np | 16:26 |
| acloseX | ok, i guess i spoke too soon | 16:49 |
| acloseX | the dvd started and the system hung | 16:49 |
| acloseX | i had to reboot since i couldn't get to a console or ssh in | 16:49 |
| rhpot1991 | acloseX: try a different dvd? | 16:49 |
| acloseX | upon restart fsck failed for the /tmp which is on it's own partion | 16:50 |
| acloseX | yes, i've tried a couple that have playd in another myth sysem fine | 16:50 |
| acloseX | i manually fsck'd and rebootwas fine | 16:50 |
| acloseX | looking in the mythfrontend log i see WriteAudio: bufer underrun messages | 16:51 |
| acloseX | audio appears to work fine for downloaded content | 16:51 |
| acloseX | i haven't tried recorded content yet since my HDHR isn't quite set up yet | 16:52 |
| acloseX | dvd is mounting fine and i can see content in the symlink'd dirs | 16:53 |
| acloseX | the first dvd i tried to play did come up and i was able to navigate to the play menu | 16:53 |
| acloseX | but when the FBI warnings came up it locked :) | 16:53 |
| acloseX | so i tried another | 16:53 |
| acloseX | which doesn't even start, but does mount | 16:53 |
| acloseX | here's what i get at the end of my mythfrontend.log: 2009-02-01 10:48:37.148 WriteAudio: buffer underrun | 16:54 |
| acloseX | libdvdread: Can't seek to block 3999363 | 16:54 |

| rhpot1991 | run: dpkg -l libdvdcss2 |grep ^ii | 16:54 |
| acloseX | is that a grep <control> ii? | 16:55 |
| acloseX | or the actual carrot? | 16:55 |
| rhpot1991 | actual carrot | 16:55 |
| acloseX | dpkg -l libdvdcss2 | grep ^ii | 16:55 |
| acloseX | ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 Simple foundation for reading DVDs - runtime libraries | 16:55 |
| acloseX | i did install all the 'extra' codecs | 16:56 |
| rhpot1991 | check your backend logs when you try to play it | 16:56 |
| rhpot1991 | !logs | 16:56 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 16:56 |
| acloseX | ok | 16:57 |
| acloseX | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f370ecd9d | 16:58 |
| acloseX | i haven't used that before, very cool | 16:58 |
| acloseX | the MythBuntu log gatherer that is | 16:58 |
| acloseX | this is a new MythBuntu 8.10 system that i 'thought' was production ready :) | 17:00 |
| acloseX | i hadn't tested D | 17:00 |
| acloseX | vd playback yet though | 17:00 |
| acloseX | everything is connected via HDMI which has caused some problems | 17:00 |
| acloseX | in my syslog it looks like my scan for the HDHomerun is happening before i have a network connection | 17:11 |
| acloseX | not that that's what's causing my DVD issue... :) | 17:11 |
| rhpot1991 | acloseX: on line 290 reading the dvd fails | 17:12 |
| rhpot1991 | could try another, or try ripping it to the hard drive first | 17:12 |
| acloseX | ok, my son has been handling them, so maybe it needs cleaning | 17:12 |
| acloseX | i'll try another | 17:12 |
| acloseX | hmm, that one can't seek to block 3787812 and then caused mythfrontend to exit | 17:15 |
| acloseX | k, Findng Nemo starts and gets me to the menu | 17:17 |
| acloseX | appears to be playing fine... | 17:19 |
| acloseX | the other dvd's had played fine under the previous myth system which was running KnoppMyth .20 Myth | 17:20 |
| acloseX | same dvd hardware | 17:20 |
| acloseX | well, one of my next tasks was ripping all these so the little guy won't ruin them all | 17:22 |
| rhpot1991 | acloseX: try the internal ripper, if they fail that (which will be the case if they are damaged), then you can use gddrescue (need to install it from apt) | 17:23 |
| acloseX | is the internal ripper a better alternative than Handbrake? | 17:24 |
| rhpot1991 | depends what your goals are | 17:24 |
| acloseX | haven't played with it yet, i'll give it a try | 17:24 |
| rhpot1991 | I use it for isos | 17:24 |
| acloseX | can it extract just the movie? | 17:25 |
| rhpot1991 | if you want to go with smaller more compressed files then handbrake might be a better solution | 17:25 |
| acloseX | or does it just dupe the disk? | 17:25 |
| rhpot1991 | yes it can, gives you a few different options | 17:25 |
| rhpot1991 | try both and see what you like | 17:25 |
| rhpot1991 | I think handbrake will give you more control though | 17:25 |
| acloseX | thanks rhpot, i'll give both a try | 17:30 |
| Demerzel | back | 17:49 |
| Demerzel | anyone here know how i can enable the catalyst drivers in a diskless client? | 17:49 |
| Demerzel | my server doesn't have an ati card | 17:49 |
| stiev3 | Demerzel, you can do that locally on the client I think. | 17:53 |
| Demerzel | hmmm | 17:53 |
| Demerzel | i.e. boot up the client and then have it compile the catalyst package? | 17:54 |
| stiev3 | I'm not sure if it's the best practice. I ended up putting my driver packages on the image through mythbuntu control center, then rebuilt the image so that the default client has a directory with the drivers ready to build. | 17:55 |
| stiev3 | if that makes sense | 17:55 |
| stiev3 | yes, you'd boot up the client, then install whichever driver you need. | 17:59 |
| Demerzel | sorry got pulled away | 18:01 |
| Demerzel | stiev3: that's my thought as well | 18:01 |
| Demerzel | i've installed the fglrx package using synaptic onto the image using mcc | 18:02 |
| Demerzel | do i have to recompress it? | 18:02 |
| Demerzel | cuz it seems it just stores all these packages etc in /opt/ltsp/i386 | 18:02 |
| stiev3 | as a professional noob, the default client is pretty empty, so I ended up installing wget + firefox through MCC as well. Which may be a horrible thing to do (i have no idea), but any diskless clients I boot have driver packages + firefox + wget | 18:02 |
| Demerzel | not sure how to recompress it | 18:02 |
| Demerzel | professional noob heh | 18:03 |
| Demerzel | i like that | 18:03 |
| Demerzel | aka professional learner | 18:03 |
| Demerzel | hmm ltsp-update-image looks good | 18:04 |
| stiev3 | yeah, so if you installed through MCC you gotta commit changes i think is the button | 18:04 |
| Demerzel | yeah | 18:04 |
| Demerzel | i remember that now | 18:04 |
| stiev3 | and it does that ltsp-update-image command. Then you'd have to start clean with your client to get the changes over | 18:05 |
| Demerzel | yup | 18:05 |
| Demerzel | one more question since you're dealing with the same setup as i | 18:05 |
| Demerzel | do you nfs mount your videos dir onto the diskless client? | 18:05 |
| stiev3 | yes, or some variation of that. I used samba shares for recordings/videos/pictures/cover art and mounted those on each client and pointed myth video at the mounts | 18:07 |
| Demerzel | ah ok | 18:11 |
| Demerzel | hmm | 18:19 |
| Demerzel | quick question | 18:19 |
| Demerzel | when the video manager runs on a diskless frontend | 18:19 |
| Demerzel | it's looking at all the videos in /var/lib/mythtv/videos | 18:19 |
| Demerzel | does it update the backend's db? | 18:19 |
| stiev3 | they all work off the same db tables on the backend | 18:20 |
| Demerzel | if one frontend does a scan do all others (that're presumably nfs mounting the videos dir) get the updates? | 18:20 |
| Demerzel | ah ok | 18:20 |
| stiev3 | so for instance in my setup I symlinked the folders on the backend to use /mnt/videos and /mnt/cover_art | 18:20 |
| stiev3 | then on the frontends i put the mounts at /mnt/videos and /mnt/cover_art | 18:21 |
| Demerzel | got it | 18:21 |
| Demerzel | updated the client fstab's to point to the nfs or samba server | 18:21 |
| Demerzel | one more question folks | 19:05 |
| Demerzel | I'm getting the error "You must run a dkms build for kernel <kernel version> first | 19:06 |
| Demerzel | when attempting to dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-kernel-source | 19:06 |
| Demerzel | i get the error right after the initial module build | 19:06 |
| Demerzel | i've never used dkms unfortunately ... any pointers on how to do an initial build? | 19:06 |
| thedarkone | hey all | 19:20 |
| thedarkone | i have a wierd question my hdd went nutz and put all my files into lost&found any way to restore the hdd back to orginal? | 19:21 |
| Demerzel | hmm | 20:12 |
| Demerzel | anyone? | 20:12 |
| Demerzel | dkms and ati catalyst module? | 20:13 |
| Demerzel | dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-kernel-source gives an error related to dkms | 20:13 |
| Demerzel | right after it says 'Adding Module to DKMS build system... and then Doing initial module build" | 20:14 |
| neoneddy | Anyone here familiar with the Antec Fusion FVD/LCD ? | 20:36 |
| neoneddy | Are you familiar with the antec fusion case? | 20:45 |
| superm1 | Demerzel, what's the full output? | 20:53 |
| superm1 | please in a pastebin | 20:53 |
| superm1 | Demerzel, and make sure you have the appropriate headers installed for your kernel (generally linux-headers-generic or similar) | 20:54 |

| Demerzel | http://pastebin.ca/1324785 | 21:00 |
| Demerzel | unfortunately wife just called | 21:00 |
| Demerzel | could you lmk your thoughts and i'll take a look at them in 5 minutes? | 21:00 |
| Demerzel | i think it has to do w/ /dev not being properly mounted | 21:00 |
| Demerzel | i might have to do some prep-work before chrooting into the environment | 21:00 |
| Demerzel | actually | 21:01 |
| Demerzel | just tried that by bind mounting /dev to /opt/ltsp/i386/dev | 21:02 |
| Demerzel | chrooted in and tried to reconfigure the fglrx module but same error | 21:02 |
| Demerzel | thoughts? | 21:02 |
| bobbob1016 | I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? I'm using alsa 1.0.19. | 23:08 |
| neoneddy | anyone familiar with MCE remotes and maybe why my enter / ok key is not working? | 23:09 |
| bobbob1016 | neoneddy, Go into myth's settings, it should be in there. | 23:10 |
| === acloseX is now known as acloseX|away | ||
| neoneddy | bobbob1016, the key does not respond when I try to edit the bindings | 23:14 |
| bobbob1016 | neoneddy, Did you select the correct remote in the mythbuntu settings? | 23:15 |
| neoneddy | I'm pretty sure.. every buttonw orks but that one | 23:16 |
| neoneddy | it's odd | 23:16 |
| bobbob1016 | neoneddy, Google mce remotes, and send me a pic of what closest resembles yours | 23:17 |
