[01:46] <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 
[02:46] <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?
[03:30] <mtn_biker_mike> need help setting up a winfast a250TD Nvidia Geforce4 TI 4400 Graphics card
[04:10] <mtn_biker_mike> where can I get some help with Nvidia setup?
[04:47] <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?
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <rhpot1991> there is how to reset it
[04:50] <quinten> okay, so i do need to reset it
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <quinten> okay, thanks
[06:07] <Demerzel> howdy folks
[06:08] <Demerzel> anyone here know how long it takes to build a diskless image?
[06:08] <Demerzel> using mythbuntu 8.10
[06:46] <hads> Dependant on your hardware.
[06:46] <hads> Mine takes a couple minutes
[14:11] <Finswimmer> Hello, in which format must be an "umlaut" üöä or a special sign "'?@ etc. to get displayed correctly in EPG Data?
[15:10] <Demerzel> morning folks
[15:11] <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
[16:07] <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.
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <acloseX> for some reason myth just doesn't want to mount the drive
[16:09] <acloseX> i have it listed in /etc/fstab
[16:10] <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
[16:11] <Demerzel> acloseX: both settings where?
[16:11] <acloseX> i've tried both in /etc/fstab and in the myth settings under setup.. video...
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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
[16:14] <Demerzel> in mythtv settings
[16:15] <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
[16:16] <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
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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 :)
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <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?
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <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 :)
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <Demerzel> danke schon!
[16:26] <Demerzel> np
[16:49] <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?
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <acloseX> looking in the mythfrontend log i see WriteAudio: bufer underrun messages
[16:51] <acloseX> audio appears to work fine for downloaded content
[16:52] <acloseX> i haven't tried recorded content yet since my HDHR isn't quite set up yet
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <acloseX> here's what i get at the end of my mythfrontend.log: 2009-02-01 10:48:37.148 WriteAudio: buffer underrun

[16:55] <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
[16:56] <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.
[16:57] <acloseX> ok
[16:58] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:11] <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... :)
[17:12] <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
[17:15] <acloseX> hmm, that one can't seek to block 3787812 and then caused mythfrontend to exit
[17:17] <acloseX> k, Findng Nemo starts and gets me to the menu
[17:19] <acloseX> appears to be playing fine...
[17:20] <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
[17:22] <acloseX> well, one of my next tasks was ripping all these so the little guy won't ruin them all
[17:23] <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)
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:30] <acloseX> thanks rhpot, i'll give both a try
[17:49] <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
[17:53] <stiev3> Demerzel, you can do that locally on the client I think.
[17:53] <Demerzel> hmmm
[17:54] <Demerzel> i.e. boot up the client and then have it compile the catalyst package?
[17:55] <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
[17:59] <stiev3> yes, you'd boot up the client, then install whichever driver you need.
[18:01] <Demerzel> sorry got pulled away
[18:01] <Demerzel> stiev3: that's my thought as well
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <Demerzel> professional noob heh
[18:03] <Demerzel> i like that
[18:03] <Demerzel> aka professional learner
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <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?
[18:07] <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
[18:11] <Demerzel> ah ok
[18:19] <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?
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <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
[19:05] <Demerzel> one more question folks
[19:06] <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?
[19:20] <thedarkone> hey all
[19:21] <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?
[20:12] <Demerzel> hmm
[20:12] <Demerzel> anyone?
[20:13] <Demerzel> dkms and ati catalyst module?
[20:13] <Demerzel> dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-kernel-source gives an error related to dkms
[20:14] <Demerzel> right after it says 'Adding Module to DKMS build system... and then Doing initial module build"

[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
[21:01] <Demerzel> actually
[21:02] <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?
[23:08] <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.
[23:09] <neoneddy> anyone familiar with MCE remotes and maybe why my enter / ok key is not working?
[23:10] <bobbob1016> neoneddy, Go into myth's settings, it should be in there.
[23:14] <neoneddy> bobbob1016, the key does not respond when I try to edit the bindings
[23:15] <bobbob1016> neoneddy, Did you select the correct remote in the mythbuntu settings?
[23:16] <neoneddy> I'm pretty sure.. every buttonw orks but that one
[23:16] <neoneddy> it's odd
[23:17] <bobbob1016> neoneddy, Google mce remotes, and send me a pic of what closest resembles yours
[23:19] <neoneddy> http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Hardware/MS-MCE_Remote_2005.jpg
[23:23] <bobbob1016> neoneddy, Did you select "mce remote old" or "mce remote new" in the settings?
