[01:46] 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] 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] need help setting up a winfast a250TD Nvidia Geforce4 TI 4400 Graphics card [04:10] where can I get some help with Nvidia setup? [04:47] this is a stupid question...but where can i find out what my mysql root password is? [04:47] i didn't write it down in the initial mythbuntu setup [04:47] do i need to reset it? [04:49] !mysql | quinten [04:49] 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] there is how to reset it [04:50] okay, so i do need to reset it [04:51] does mythtv rely on the root password anywhere, or can i skip reconfigure myth? [04:51] 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] quinten: only relies on it in the initial setup [04:51] so if you don't do the reconfigure mythtv things mentioned above then everything should remain the same [04:52] okay, thanks [06:07] howdy folks [06:08] anyone here know how long it takes to build a diskless image? [06:08] using mythbuntu 8.10 [06:46] Dependant on your hardware. [06:46] Mine takes a couple minutes [14:11] Hello, in which format must be an "umlaut" üöä or a special sign "'?@ etc. to get displayed correctly in EPG Data? [15:10] morning folks [15:11] anyone here who uses diskless myth frontends with 8.10 who can tell me how they perform over a 100Mbps network? [15:11] i'm wondering about lag and other issues viewing hd content [16:07] good morning, anybody out there? [16:07] !ask [16:07] 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] :) [16:08] ok, i'm trying to get dvd's to play through myth and am not having any luck [16:08] i've already installed all the requisite libs [16:09] for some reason myth just doesn't want to mount the drive [16:09] i have it listed in /etc/fstab [16:10] #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:10] #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:10] finally my diskless image finished building [16:10] i've tried both settings, /media/cdrom and /media/dvd [16:11] acloseX: both settings where? [16:11] i've tried both in /etc/fstab and in the myth settings under setup.. video... [16:12] hmm [16:12] in myth under setup you're probably looking at trying the actual device name [16:12] it's like Myth just doesn't see it [16:12] i believe /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd should point to /dev/scd0 anyway [16:12] it's a symlink [16:12] although, typing mount at the cmd i can see that the drive does get moounted [16:12] yes, that's the way it appears to be set up [16:13] change to using the device instead of the mount point in the mythtv setup [16:13] it's been a while since i played with dvds unfortunately so i'm speaking from memory [16:13] try /dev/scd0? [16:13] yes [16:13] as the dvd device [16:14] in mythtv settings [16:15] ok :) [16:15] i thought i had tried that [16:15] ah [16:15] any thought as to why Myth defaults to /dev/cdrom0 then? [16:15] anything in the frontend logs when you try to play dvds? [16:15] hmm not sure [16:16] is cdrom0 referenced anywhere in your fstab? [16:16] it was originally [16:16] just for kicks [16:16] but then i changed it to /dev/dev and created the symlinks [16:16] try creating the /dev/cdrom0 symlink to point to /dev/sdc0 [16:16] scd0 [16:16] does that work? [16:16] tha's the way it was originally [16:17] ok [16:17] let me make sure i understand your setup then [16:17] but i didn't try /dev/scd0 in the myth settings at that point [16:17] i think i'm getting confused :) [16:17] you have /etc/fstab mentioning /dev/scd0 [16:17] sorry :) [16:17] you have /dev/scd0 as a device [16:18] and the following are symlinks to /dev/scd0: /dev/cdrom0, /dev/cdrom [16:18] is that accurate? [16:18] i think it was :) [16:19] heh [16:19] fstab originally pointed to /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom0 [16:19] and there were symlinks in /media for cdrom -> cdrom0 [16:19] right [16:19] myth settings originally referenced cdrom [16:20] did fstab originally have a line like so: [16:20] /dev/cdrom0 /media/cdrom0 [16:20] it was originally: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:21] ah ok [16:21] which, after monkeying around, i had changed to: /dev/scd0 /media/dvd0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:21] right [16:21] now how is your mythdvd plugin configured? [16:22] i'm assuming that's what you're trying to configure [16:22] in the utilities/setup/etc... menu? [16:22] yes [16:22] it's now pointing to /dev/scd0 [16:22] but originally pointied to /dev/cdrom [16:23] then i changed the fstab to /dev/dvd and the myth settings to reference /dev/dvd [16:23] but switching to the /dev/scd0 device seemed to be te answer [16:23] sorry if that's confusing :) [16:23] i've been playing with this for three days now :) [16:24] heh [16:24] ok so the optical drive device (not sure what the setting is labelled) is set to /dev/scd0 right now? [16:24] correct [16:24] what's the dvd player set to? [16:24] Internal? [16:24] yes [16:24] or are you using e.g. xine to play [16:24] ok [16:24] Internal [16:25] hmmm that should work [16:25] appears to [16:25] thanks :) [16:25] oh ok [16:25] cool [16:25] np :) i'm not sure i did anything heh [16:25] on to my diskless frontend [16:25] wel, had me try another new direction [16:25] good luck [16:25] and thanks again [16:26] danke schon! [16:26] np [16:49] ok, i guess i spoke too soon [16:49] the dvd started and the system hung [16:49] i had to reboot since i couldn't get to a console or ssh in [16:49] acloseX: try a different dvd? [16:50] upon restart fsck failed for the /tmp which is on it's own partion [16:50] yes, i've tried a couple that have playd in another myth sysem fine [16:50] i manually fsck'd and rebootwas fine [16:51] looking in the mythfrontend log i see WriteAudio: bufer underrun messages [16:51] audio appears to work fine for downloaded content [16:52] i haven't tried recorded content yet since my HDHR isn't quite set up yet [16:53] dvd is mounting fine and i can see content in the symlink'd dirs [16:53] the first dvd i tried to play did come up and i was able to navigate to the play menu [16:53] but when the FBI warnings came up it locked :) [16:53] so i tried another [16:53] which doesn't even start, but does mount [16:54] here's what i get at the end of my mythfrontend.log: 2009-02-01 10:48:37.148 WriteAudio: buffer underrun [16:54] libdvdread: Can't seek to block 3999363 [16:54] libdvdread: Invalid IFO for title 5 (VTS_05_0.IFO).

[16:57] ok [16:58] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f370ecd9d [16:58] i haven't used that before, very cool [16:58] the MythBuntu log gatherer that is [17:00] this is a new MythBuntu 8.10 system that i 'thought' was production ready :) [17:00] i hadn't tested D [17:00] vd playback yet though [17:00] everything is connected via HDMI which has caused some problems [17:11] in my syslog it looks like my scan for the HDHomerun is happening before i have a network connection [17:11] not that that's what's causing my DVD issue... :) [17:12] acloseX: on line 290 reading the dvd fails [17:12] could try another, or try ripping it to the hard drive first [17:12] ok, my son has been handling them, so maybe it needs cleaning [17:12] i'll try another [17:15] hmm, that one can't seek to block 3787812 and then caused mythfrontend to exit [17:17] k, Findng Nemo starts and gets me to the menu [17:19] appears to be playing fine... [17:20] the other dvd's had played fine under the previous myth system which was running KnoppMyth .20 Myth [17:20] same dvd hardware [17:22] well, one of my next tasks was ripping all these so the little guy won't ruin them all [17:23] 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] is the internal ripper a better alternative than Handbrake? [17:24] depends what your goals are [17:24] haven't played with it yet, i'll give it a try [17:24] I use it for isos [17:25] can it extract just the movie? [17:25] if you want to go with smaller more compressed files then handbrake might be a better solution [17:25] or does it just dupe the disk? [17:25] yes it can, gives you a few different options [17:25] try both and see what you like [17:25] I think handbrake will give you more control though [17:30] thanks rhpot, i'll give both a try [17:49] back [17:49] anyone here know how i can enable the catalyst drivers in a diskless client? [17:49] my server doesn't have an ati card [17:53] Demerzel, you can do that locally on the client I think. [17:53] hmmm [17:54] i.e. boot up the client and then have it compile the catalyst package? [17:55] 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] if that makes sense [17:59] yes, you'd boot up the client, then install whichever driver you need. [18:01] sorry got pulled away [18:01] stiev3: that's my thought as well [18:02] i've installed the fglrx package using synaptic onto the image using mcc [18:02] do i have to recompress it? [18:02] cuz it seems it just stores all these packages etc in /opt/ltsp/i386 [18:02] 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] not sure how to recompress it [18:03] professional noob heh [18:03] i like that [18:03] aka professional learner [18:04] hmm ltsp-update-image looks good [18:04] yeah, so if you installed through MCC you gotta commit changes i think is the button [18:04] yeah [18:04] i remember that now [18:05] 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] yup [18:05] one more question since you're dealing with the same setup as i [18:05] do you nfs mount your videos dir onto the diskless client? [18:07] 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] ah ok [18:19] hmm [18:19] quick question [18:19] when the video manager runs on a diskless frontend [18:19] it's looking at all the videos in /var/lib/mythtv/videos [18:19] does it update the backend's db? [18:20] they all work off the same db tables on the backend [18:20] if one frontend does a scan do all others (that're presumably nfs mounting the videos dir) get the updates? [18:20] ah ok [18:20] so for instance in my setup I symlinked the folders on the backend to use /mnt/videos and /mnt/cover_art [18:21] then on the frontends i put the mounts at /mnt/videos and /mnt/cover_art [18:21] got it [18:21] updated the client fstab's to point to the nfs or samba server [19:05] one more question folks [19:06] I'm getting the error "You must run a dkms build for kernel first [19:06] when attempting to dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-kernel-source [19:06] i get the error right after the initial module build [19:06] i've never used dkms unfortunately ... any pointers on how to do an initial build? [19:20] hey all [19:21] 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] hmm [20:12] anyone? [20:13] dkms and ati catalyst module? [20:13] dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-kernel-source gives an error related to dkms [20:14] right after it says 'Adding Module to DKMS build system... and then Doing initial module build" [20:36] Anyone here familiar with the Antec Fusion FVD/LCD ? [20:45] Are you familiar with the antec fusion case? [20:53] Demerzel, what's the full output? [20:53] please in a pastebin [20:54] Demerzel, and make sure you have the appropriate headers installed for your kernel (generally linux-headers-generic or similar) [20:57] hang on [20:57] pasting [21:00] http://pastebin.ca/1324785 [21:00] unfortunately wife just called [21:00] could you lmk your thoughts and i'll take a look at them in 5 minutes? [21:00] i think it has to do w/ /dev not being properly mounted [21:00] i might have to do some prep-work before chrooting into the environment [21:01] actually [21:02] just tried that by bind mounting /dev to /opt/ltsp/i386/dev [21:02] chrooted in and tried to reconfigure the fglrx module but same error [21:02] thoughts? [23:08] 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] anyone familiar with MCE remotes and maybe why my enter / ok key is not working? [23:10] neoneddy, Go into myth's settings, it should be in there. === acloseX is now known as acloseX|away [23:14] bobbob1016, the key does not respond when I try to edit the bindings [23:15] neoneddy, Did you select the correct remote in the mythbuntu settings? [23:16] I'm pretty sure.. every buttonw orks but that one [23:16] it's odd [23:17] neoneddy, Google mce remotes, and send me a pic of what closest resembles yours [23:19] http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/uploads/Hardware/MS-MCE_Remote_2005.jpg [23:23] neoneddy, Did you select "mce remote old" or "mce remote new" in the settings?
