[00:28] hmm, looks like another daily build that can't get past the partitioner... [00:35] Anybody have any luck with a recent daily build? [00:44] I'm using dailies in part because there was no alpha 4 for mythbuntu. [00:48] Even going with the automatic partitioning just hangs. [02:10] can export from mythtv ok as dvd but nuvexport fails setting up fifos - have tried reinstalling and sudo dpkg-reconfigure nuvexport - same result - enough disk space and no idea what to try next [03:49] Hi. I am having trouble getting the sleep function in the "power management" applet to work -- my screen goes blank and I guess the machine is sleeping at that point but it won't seem to wake up upon mouse, keyboard or network activity. [03:49] Does anyone out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix it? [03:49] I have checked the forums and google, BTW, but haven't found anything useful there yet. [04:01] moj0rising: sleep is very difficult to troubleshoot unfortunately [04:02] I can send you a link, but normally the safest and easiest thing to do is disable suspend :-( [04:02] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend [04:02] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend [04:03] as I've seen, freelook. :) [04:03] thanks for the link [04:03] I'd like to use sleep as I want to keep this machine on all the time (a server of sorts) but don't want to waste energy [04:04] so I really don't want to disable suspend. [04:04] I understand, but suspend is a feature that's very much tied to the hardware and drivers. The typical culprit is a closed driver, graphics and/or sound [04:04] would you happen to know if the "sleep" option in Power Management is a form of hybernate or suspend, or something else? [04:05] "sleep" usually refers to suspend [04:05] this one should be okay, I would think. It's an intel board in a shuttle xpc, very similar to those in many laptops. [04:05] but you could always try hibernate. It's slightly more reliable for whatever reason [04:05] okay. cool. so at least I know what I'm looking at there. [04:06] I've tried both hibernate and suspend from the shut-down menu and they both do basically the same thing... get stuck. :) [04:06] suspend is one of the first things I look at when buying a new ubuntu box. Thinking it would probably be supported is not the same thing as knowing it will be I've learned. [04:07] this is where buying from System76 for example should come in handy [04:07] it doesn't help you with your current system I understand.... [04:08] right. good point to consider though. [04:09] I had somewhat tough requirements: moderate muscle, ability to accept multiple drives, small power consumption, quiet operation. [04:09] and, of course, low price. :) [04:10] I noticed the System76 boxes are on the high side with respect to price, though they seem to be good systems. [06:31] hi does anyone know how i can quickly purge all the mythtv-database in ubuntu [06:32] dpkg --purge mythtv-database [06:36] superm1 i tried apt-get purge mythtv-database [06:36] would that be the sam result [06:38] i overwrote /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg/ with my old install and that is what caused the problems [06:39] when i purge the contents of /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg/ is still there [09:18] hi is this a good place to report a usabilty bug with mythbuntu-control centre [09:23] running mythbuntu control centre on gnome ( ubuntu 8.04) the gui is using too much vertical screen space it just fits with 1024x600 and no menu's but for lower resolutions 800x 480 its pretty much unusable. [09:25] Probably best filed in launchpad [09:31] It's one of those things you tend to ignore but i was just reading something on slashdot and it prompted me to see if i could get it notified and fixed [15:50] I have a mac mini Mythbuntu (8.10) that i would like to connect to a Panasonic TH-AX200E projector - anyone know how to configure this ? [16:23] also: my backend (also mythbuntu 8.10) has no keyboard/mouse/monitor - how do i configure it so vnc will work ? [17:39] maymann, you can do that through MCC on the backend. Under system services. [17:40] oh wait, no mouse, keyboard, or monitor currently? [17:41] no it work when i have a monitor on - but when i disconnect it, VNC stops working [17:51] hmm, not sure then. Seems like at best you'll have a connection to a desktop in 640x480. Maybe try FreeNX ? [18:01] hello, i got a little question on mythbuntu : if nothing happens, when i klick on Watch TV, does that mean, that something is wrong with my tv card?.. [18:01] or what reasons could there be for this [18:27] 8.10 Remote Frontend issue I haven't been able to resolve: [18:27] Inside the frontend trying to access my recordings error: "Cannot connect to master backend" [18:27] Backend is a remote primary front/back with services enabled properly (as far as I can tell [18:27] i.e. I can connect with a mysql client from remote frontend n/p & MCC test connection [18:27] says it's good) [18:27] Every place I could think of points to the remote backend with the proper IP/user/pass: [18:28] - Myth Control Center [18:28] - From setup inside the mythfrontend [18:28] - /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [18:28] - ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt [18:28] - ~/.mythtv/config.xml [18:28] Error in my mythfrontend.log is that it cannot connect to backend at 127.0.0.1 [18:28] Is there still some place pointing the frontend to 127.0.0.1 I need to change?? [18:31] asphere, post your logs [18:31] !logs | asphere [18:31] asphere: 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. [18:31] okeydoke [18:44] tgm4883: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f22a74be4 [18:46] hmmm... I'm thinking somehow since my backend has it's own frontend which [18:47] uses 127.0.0.1, when I try to use that backend from a remote frontend it refers [18:47] itself back [18:48] yea, on your backend you need to fix taht [18:48] ..so I probably need to change the system role of my backend to "secondary frontend/backend?" [18:49] no [18:49] how many systems do you have? [18:49] mythtv systems that is [18:53] I have the one primary frontend/backend. And now I'm just trying to set up one additional frontend that connects to the primary [18:54] ok, the primary frontend/backend needs to be setup to go to your private ip address, not localhost [18:55] like 192.168.1.10 [18:57] ohhh.. I see the light now [19:19] I have a mac mini Mythbuntu (8.10) that i would like to connect to a Panasonic TH-AX200E projector - anyone know how to configure this ? [19:19] also: my backend (also mythbuntu 8.10) has no keyboard/mouse/monitor - how do i configure it so vnc will work ? [19:22] tgm4883: That did the trick. Thanks! [19:22] np [19:23] http://www.mythbuntu.org/million === jennicide is now known as aniiena [21:54] hi all quick question i have a dvb-t card mythbuntu recognises it as pvr 350 am i best using it's decoder or oneof the software one's? [22:36] Is zsnes a mythbuntu package? [22:36] apt-cache search zsnes [22:37] hads: That only shows if it is in the repositories. Is it a mythbuntu package? [22:38] s/search/show/ [22:38] Does mythbuntu use a different Maintainer field? [22:41] Actually, I just noticed that superm1 added the subscription [22:42] The mythtv packages use ubuntu-mythtv@lists.ubuntu.com by the looks [22:43] superm1: Is there any reason you subscribed the Mythbuntu Developers to Bug #332794 [22:52] well there is a mythtv game plugin for things like game emulators [22:52] !bug 332794 [22:52] Bug 332794 in zsnes (Ubuntu) "zsnes sound works intermittently on multi-core systems" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/332794
