brewstermanwelcome all, looking for help with Sony dvd drive model DW-G120A in 8.10 ubuntu for myth, it doesn't mount and i can't figure it out, i did sudo lshw -c disk and it shows up fine, first logical name shown is /dev/cdrom0, shows all others and capabilities03:11
foxbuntubrewsterman, what disk are you trying to mount?03:12
brewstermanwell, i just really want to rip dvd's in myth and also cd's, when I put in a disc nothing happens03:13
brewstermanshouldn't i see something for it when typing mount?03:13
foxbuntubrewsterman, not really03:13
foxbuntuyou can see if its mounted usually here /media/03:14
foxbuntubrewsterman, it might not be mounting however03:16
foxbuntubrewsterman, I had issues with the Sony drives and Ubuntu03:16
foxbuntusomething with the firmware and they seem to cause oddities03:17
brewstermansorry, had to leave, having stomach issues... :o(03:20
foxbuntui know that one...all too well03:20
foxbuntuI have been dealing with it for a week03:20
brewstermanhave a 2 year old, think he gave me something :o(03:20
foxbuntuah03:20
brewstermanso back to the dvd drive, it doesn't really work right, but i think it is only registering as a cd drive, since i was able to install the mythbuntu cd with it03:21
foxbuntudo you have another rom drive you can try in the machine?03:21
brewstermani had one, but it was giving disk read errors with multiple disks03:21
foxbuntuhmm03:21
brewstermani have recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, myth works great, just can't rip right now03:22
brewstermani was ripping fine with my old drive and 8.04, but through the upgrade somehow that drive was failing, so i want to use this one, plus this one is way faster than the old one03:22
brewstermanunder media i see cdrom cdrom003:23
brewstermanno reference to dvd though03:23
brewstermanif i type eject cdrom in the media directory it opens the cd tray, is it possible that somehow linux doesn't know how to handle the dvd portion of this model?03:26
foxbuntubrewsterman, no, it usually just uses a symlink03:27
foxbuntuls -l /dev/dvd*03:27
brewstermanshows 2 mappings, /dev/dvd -> scd0, /dev/dvdrw -> scd003:28
foxbuntuyea that should be fine03:29
foxbuntuit sees that its a dvd rom then03:29
brewstermanok, maybe it's a problem with myth?03:29
foxbuntuyeah, it sounds like a config thing03:29
foxbuntuin myth: Settings > Settings > Media > General?03:30
brewstermanlocation of dvd device = /media/cdrom003:31
brewstermanvcd device = /dev/cdrom03:31
foxbuntumake it /dev/dvd03:31
foxbuntufor dvd device03:31
brewstermanok, it was that and i tried changing it, will go back03:31
foxbuntuand /dev/cdrom for vcd03:31
brewstermanif i do import dvd, just always says No Jobs........03:32
brewstermani know the dvd is good, have tried several of them03:33
brewstermancould it be my encryption libraries aren't updated properly?03:33
brewstermancause teh eject media option works in myth03:33
foxbuntubrewsterman, can you play dvds?03:34
brewstermantrying right now, it's trying03:34
brewstermannope, just goes back to Play DVD menu screen03:35
foxbuntuok, sounds like you dont have the medibuntu stuffs installs03:35

brewstermanit was missing 2 packages, getting them now, hopefully this does it03:40
foxbuntuit should03:40
brewstermanso now go back and try?03:41
foxbuntuthough even still you wont be able to rip 100% of the dvds03:41

brewstermannope, did the same03:42
brewstermanwill try another dvd just to be sure03:42

brewstermanno03:45
foxbuntutry a CD03:45
brewstermanno03:46
brewstermanit read the install cd, so the drive seems to be ok03:46
brewstermani was using it in a PC at one point and it was fine too03:47
foxbuntuhmm03:47
foxbuntuI wonder if auto mount is failing03:47
brewstermanis there any linux logs i can get to show anything03:48
foxbuntutry this in a terminal: sudo mount /dev/dvd /media/test03:48

foxbuntutry this: sudo mount /dev/dvd /mnt/test03:50
foxbuntumake sure not to use a trailing slash03:51
brewstermandidn't, and it says mnt/test does not exist03:51

oobehmm03:56
oobethat leave's out almost everything now you got me curious03:57
brewstermanhold on, it's trying with a different dvd now03:57
foxbuntubrewsterman, you might need to use the iso9660 block format to get it to mount03:57
foxbuntulet me dig up how to do that03:58
oobecat /var/log/syslog may show you dome errors03:58
foxbuntubeen a long time03:58
brewstermanman, tried for a while, then said mount: No medium found03:58
brewstermanok03:58
brewstermanwilling to try anything03:58
brewstermanit's a gap in my system03:58
foxbuntusudo mount /media/cdrom003:59
brewstermanno medium found04:00
foxbuntuhmm04:00
foxbuntusounds like the drive isnt reading disks04:00
brewstermani'm willing to buy a different model04:00
brewstermanwill try another dvd just to rule out the dvd's04:00
foxbuntuI usually get lite-on04:01
foxbuntuhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682710622804:01
brewstermanok, will go with tha option04:01
foxbuntuI prob have a dozen of those drives04:01
foxbuntuotherwise everything seems to be doing its job04:02
brewstermanlol, i love newegg, hate waiting but the prices are great04:02
foxbuntuits attempting to read the disk and just getting no return from the drive04:02
foxbuntubrewsterman, they do have good prices04:02
brewstermanok, yeah i can hear it spin the disk04:02
foxbuntuand they usually ship quite quickly04:03
brewstermanbut sounds like it is the drive04:03
foxbuntuthats my opinion04:03
brewstermanright on, i can wait a few weeks to save some cashola04:03
brewstermani mean days04:03
foxbuntuyou could do the BBY rental04:03
foxbuntu:)04:03
foxbuntuor walmart04:04
brewstermanlol, :)04:04
foxbuntubuy one on credit, buy the newegg one too then return the walmart drive when the one from newegg shows up04:04
brewstermanthanks for the help, i'm usually pretty good as i have a masters in CS, but sometimes get stuck on linux, just recently started programming for linux with c/c++, but we use embedded platforms that don't usually mess with dvd drives04:05
foxbuntuah04:05
foxbuntubrewsterman, what are you coding for?04:05
foxbuntuI mean which project?04:05
brewstermanwe have embedded apps at work that run embedded linux and vxWorks distros04:07
brewstermani should start contributing to myth though as i love it04:07
brewstermani have written big java apps, c/c++ apps, OO programming, assembly coding, all the fun stuff04:08
brewstermanu do programming for work?04:09
brewstermanis there a good PC program to rip dvd's to iso with ac3 track included?04:11
brewstermanadios, thanks for all the help foxbuntu04:15
foxbuntunp04:15
foxbuntulater04:15
foxbuntubrewsterman, I am a dev for this project04:16
brewstermanoh cool, if i decide to assist i'll message you, can myth rip blue ray yet?04:18
brewstermanlol, my old dvd is playing a dvd now, so i'm good to go04:20
foxbuntubrewsterman, alright04:23
foxbuntuintresting04:23
foxbuntubrewsterman, i think so, but dont quote me on that just yet04:23
brewstermanwell when booting it was reporting disk read errors, but that was with the myth install cd, i took that out and now it's happy04:23
foxbuntuintresting04:24
brewstermanthe weird thing is that it did that with 2 different cd's and the other drive installed one of them fine04:24
brewstermanbut i don't use the cd ripper, i xfer from my ipod using gtkpod, and rip dvd's to it04:24
foxbuntuI would spend the 20$ on a lite-on drive to save head aches later on...but thats just me04:24
brewstermanis there a bug with 8.10 getting cover art?  8.04 would fetch it, but 8.10 is not getting it04:25
brewstermanright, i'm going to get a new dvd drive, just can rip in waiting period now, i am building my library up04:25
foxbuntubrewsterman, uh, I think its something with the imdb scripts and imdb.com changing their site04:25
brewstermanis there a patch, cause 8.04 worked last week04:26
brewstermani can always manually get better images, the resolution is horrible from imdb anyways04:26
foxbuntubrewsterman, im not sure, I have been so out of the loop because of my day job recently04:27
brewstermanno prob04:27
brewstermani hear ya, i have 2 year old, one on the way, just had cancer, and work a lot of hours, this is my fun tiime04:27
foxbuntuouchhhhh04:28
brewstermanit's been a busy last few years. but life moves on, so far things are looking great as far as my health04:29
foxbuntuthats good04:29
foxbuntuI at least have that going for now04:29
foxbuntuno kids, just working insane hours04:30
brewstermanlol, i am never sick, then all of a sudden got cancer, testicular and caught it early, so for cancer it's a blessing to get that kind04:30
foxbuntuyeah, could be allot worse04:31
brewstermankids are a blessing, my boy makes every minute seem magical, he is so much fun, just starting to get his sayings now, his new one is "how about this one", he wanted garlic for breakfast this morning, i asked what do you want, he points to garlic and says...."how about dis one"04:32
foxbuntulol04:32
brewstermani was tempted to let him try it, but thought i better not04:32
brewstermanhe still likes me, lol04:32
foxbuntuyeah, I have two nephews one is 3 and one is 6 months04:32
brewstermanright on, heard 3 can be tough, but i'm taking it day by day :)04:33
foxbuntuyeah, the 3yr old is a snot most of the time, but fun to wind up and watch him annoy my brother04:34
brewstermanmy myth is ripping away, slow but steady, how fast should a rip take with that lite on, amd64 bit 2.4ghz with 3GB ram, 500GB hard drive04:35
brewstermanmine take about 30 minutes, which seems limit of dvd drive04:35
foxbuntuwell a dvd should only take ~15-20 mins depending on the quality of the rip04:35
brewstermani am just doing iso for now, with the ac3 track04:35
foxbuntuiso should be fine04:36
brewstermanthey are playing at 720p, the audio is feeding a denon receiver04:36
foxbuntubrewsterman, I will warn you, MythTV will soon become your mistress04:36
foxbuntulol04:36
brewstermanit already has, lol04:36
foxbuntuI remember it being on old hardware and not important04:37
brewstermanmy boy loves it too, i use my itouch to control it04:37
foxbuntunow I have it spread across several machines with thousands of $ sunk into it04:37
brewstermanright04:37
foxbuntuIm am the exception to the rule though04:37
brewstermani'm only front end, but will soon venture into more rooms with it04:37
brewstermani have cat-5 wired all over my house04:38
brewstermanso the network is set04:38
foxbuntu11 Tuners, 4 machines, 2.25TB of storage04:38
brewstermannice, i work for AMX, so we deal with audio/visual/control equipment all of the time04:38
foxbuntunice04:38
brewstermanso the day flows into the night well :o)04:39
foxbuntuyes, as I am sitting here working on junk for my day job04:40
brewstermanalthough i'm venturing in uncharted waters this weekend, installing hardwood floors in my house with my dad/brother04:40
brewstermanour equpment at work is cutting edge for sure04:41
foxbuntuhardwood floors are pretty easy, just very very time consuming04:42
brewstermanright, they are engineered so will glue down to cement04:43
brewstermanshould be not too bad, 600 sq ft04:43
foxbuntuoh its a floating floor then?04:43
brewstermanyeah04:43
foxbuntuah, those arent so bad04:44
brewstermanit's 1/2 inch thick04:44
foxbuntunot nearly as bad as tile04:44
brewstermanand have a cement floor, right my dad is retired and just finished a 1000 sq foot place all tile04:44
foxbuntuI recently tiled my kitchen and kitchen counter04:44
brewstermani have only laid a few broken tiles, but no major areas04:45
brewstermangrouting sucks though, and lining them up straight04:45
foxbuntuyup04:45
brewstermanthe wood all clicks together on sides and ends04:45
foxbuntuyup04:45
foxbuntuthose are slick04:45
brewstermanthey only shitty part is dealing with the glue and ripping out baseboards and prepping04:46
brewstermanwith 3 bodies should go smooth, and my mom to help clean our mess04:46
foxbuntuyep04:47
brewstermanwell, enjoyed the chat, i'll look for you on here when i get stuck again, like getting my digital audio routed over hdmi with nvidia card :)04:47
brewstermanusing spdif now04:48
brewstermanfound a cool cover art site04:48
brewstermanhttp://nicecovers.com/?s=shrek&searchsubmit.x=0&searchsubmit.y=0&searchsubmit=Search04:48
foxbuntubrewsterman, good luck on HDMI04:49
foxbuntuI have been trying that for over a year04:49
foxbuntu4 Mobos04:49
foxbuntunvidia, intel, and ati04:49
brewstermanno luck?04:50
foxbuntubrewsterman, hmm, perhaps this site could be added to the imdb script04:50
foxbuntunope, no luck on the HDMI audio as of yet04:50
brewstermanyeah, i have found a few good covers i will put in myth manually and see how they look04:50
brewstermanit looks free too as i can save them directly04:51
foxbuntuthey have many common ones?04:51
brewstermani tried 4 dvd's i have on my myth and it had all of them04:51
brewstermanindiana jones, shrek, monsters inc,04:51
foxbuntuyeah, looks pretty good04:52
foxbuntumuch better than IMDB04:52
foxbuntucool find04:52
foxbuntuI will look at adding it to the scripts04:52
brewstermanso far it looks great04:52
foxbuntushouldnt be too hard04:52
brewstermanperl script right04:53
brewstermani could do it early next wee04:53
brewstermank04:53
brewstermani love automation, hate manually doing stuff04:53
brewstermansince imdb seems broke this might be good change04:53
foxbuntuyeah04:54
brewstermani can get info off imdb, just not the image04:54
foxbuntuyeah, I was thinking just use IMDB to grab the info and build the query for this site04:54
brewstermanright, that is good logic04:54
foxbuntuthen just parse the html and wget the cover04:54
foxbuntuit jjst did it by hand, was pretty easy04:55
brewstermanis the search easy using the info that comes from the dvd?04:55
foxbuntuyea04:57
foxbuntuthe name will provide the search query04:57
brewstermancool, that would be a great change, these look good04:58
foxbuntuyeah...seem to04:58
foxbuntuwonder how hard it would be to do a preview of the cover04:58
foxbuntumeh thats for another day04:59
brewstermando you know default folder for cover art?04:59
foxbuntu/var/hmm05:00
foxbuntulol05:01
foxbuntuhmm05:01
brewsterman/var/wtf05:02
foxbuntulol05:02
brewsterman/home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythVideo05:04
foxbuntuah yes05:04
foxbuntuI thought it was in home somewhere05:04
foxbuntunot a great place for it I think...but that what it is05:04
foxbuntuhmm05:08
foxbuntuwould seem the way their site is setup, no query is required05:08
brewstermanthese look awesome in myth frontend05:09
brewstermani manually got a few and loaded them05:09
brewstermani almost see 0 distortion on my 52 inch lcd tv05:10
foxbuntucool05:10
brewstermanwhich is not like the imdb ones05:10
foxbuntuand being its a perl script, this should be pretty easy05:10
brewstermanyou have to add this into the scripts, i can probably do it within in hour or so05:10
brewstermani wrote a perl script to cheat on facebook wordcount game05:11
brewstermanit was so funny since my score was hundreds higher than anybody in my list05:11
brewstermani am amazed at how good these look though05:11
foxbuntuok, I will add it05:12
brewstermannot sure if it makes a difference, but when i go to the actual image under the category, it shows bigger than the search image05:12
brewstermanso if i click the letter and find it that way it displays bigger05:13
foxbuntutry this out: http://nicecovers.com/tbn/movienamewithoutspaces.jpg05:13
brewstermanhmm, nothing found05:14
foxbuntuwhich movie?05:14
brewstermanlol, forgot a movie05:15

foxbuntusome wont be in the higher res05:19
brewstermani am using the higher one05:19
brewstermanuse that and if fails go to other05:19
foxbuntuyup05:21
foxbuntuwill use the python httplib05:21
foxbuntuworks pretty well for these kinds of things05:22
brewstermanright on, sounds good05:22
brewstermanpeople will love this05:22
foxbuntu:)05:22
brewstermana few guys at work have myth and i have heard them complain about cover art too05:22
foxbuntuwell I am going to relax for a bit and then sleep, will try to tinker with this tomorrow05:23
brewstermancool, l8r05:23
foxbuntul8r05:23
perilousapricotwhere can I configure the mythbuntu startup session?05:27
zeltakhi guys14:44
zeltakany one cares to help me try to connect to the backend after 2 months of trying and going mad :)14:44
garrettnHi all, I just did a fresh install of mythbuntu 8.10, but I am getting an error during the fill database.  "Cannot login to database?"16:17
garrettnDid I miss something during the install to create the database?  I am unable to login to mysql using the username and password generated during the install, but if I login as root I can see the user is there.  However, there is no mythconverg database.  Was I suppose to manually create it?16:20
rhpot1991!mysql | garrettn16:26
Zinngarrettn: 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-common16:26
garrettnIf I know the root password can I skip step 1?16:27
rhpot1991as long as its the root password for mysql and not your system or sudo password16:28
rhpot1991thats the common confusion16:28
garrettnNope, I can login to mysql and show databases, but mythconverg doesn't exist.16:28
rhpot1991then it didn't get created, reconfigure mythtv-database and mythtv-common16:31
garrettnThat did it, thanks much.16:31
rhpot1991np16:32
garrettnDo I need to do anything to allow the mythtv user to connect from a frontend on a different machine?16:34
rhpot1991garrettn: turn on the mysql service in MCC16:36
garrettnOk16:38
garrettnthanks again16:38
