| pteague | that's under the 32bit... x86-64 is listed under capabilities for the cpu, but i'm wondering if it's the fact that it has hyperthreading that's causing issues? it's a dual core & appears to have 4 cpus due to the hyperthreading | 00:08 |

| pteague | ok, this is fun... now the 32bit is dumping me in X with an error message stating "No Exec line in the session file: mythbuntu. Running the GNOME failsafe session instead" ?? | 00:19 |
| pteague | clicking ok on that gives me 'Could not find the GNOME installation, will try running the "Failsafe xterm" session' | 00:20 |
| darthanubis | mv: cannot stat `/var/run/motd.new': No such file or directory | 00:47 |
| darthanubis | even after I created such a file/dir | 00:47 |
| foxbuntu | pteague, this 9.04? 8.10? 8.04? | 00:47 |
| pteague | 8.04 32bit | 00:47 |
| foxbuntu | pteague, try the alternate disk | 00:48 |
| foxbuntu | for 8.04 | 00:48 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, sounds like a permissions thing, why are you trying to mv a file from /var/run? | 00:48 |
| darthanubis | I am not | 00:48 |
| darthanubis | it seems myth is | 00:49 |
| darthanubis | I did not know about it, until I installed the exim package to get local mail | 00:49 |
| darthanubis | since I have been getting cron daemon reports of this error | 00:49 |
| darthanubis | I suppose I could just stop the particular cron job? | 00:50 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, motd is the daemon mytharchive uses | 00:51 |
| darthanubis | really | 00:51 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, no, Im just screwing with you | 00:51 |
| foxbuntu | ..yes | 00:51 |
| darthanubis | hmm | 00:52 |
| darthanubis | what shall I do? | 00:52 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, do you use mytharchive? | 00:53 |
| darthanubis | I'd like to, thats why I have it installed. But I've yet too | 00:54 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, do you have a pastebin of your logs? | 00:56 |
| darthanubis | not at this moment but I can make it so | 00:57 |
| darthanubis | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f472c3c16 | 00:57 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, Im not seeing anything that seems concerning, you prob need to enable cron job logs and watch the error logs of that for more information | 01:20 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, google for how to enable cron job logging | 01:21 |
| darthanubis | it's logging rright ot my inbox | 01:21 |
| foxbuntu | darthanubis, um, the cron daemon has its own logging | 01:22 |
| egaudet | I can't get a pvr-150 working | 01:28 |
| Guest88892 | I have TWC and they have the option of renting dvr (i dont want this) or a HD cable box. If i use the cable box it would hook to my mythtvbox just like it would to my TV, right? My tv only has on analog tuner and a Digital Tuner ATSC, QAM....so as long as I get a capture card like a pcHDTV 5500, I should be golden, right? | 01:29 |
| egaudet | is the averTV pvr-150 the same as the happauge pvr 150 i've been reading about on the wiki? | 01:29 |
| foxbuntu | egaudet, no | 01:29 |
| egaudet | is the avertv pvr-150 supported with any driver under linux? | 01:30 |
| foxbuntu | egaudet, check the wiki | 01:30 |
| egaudet | i see no mention of avertv 150 anywhere | 01:30 |
| foxbuntu | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Hardware | 01:31 |
| foxbuntu | egaudet, look in the forums | 01:31 |
| foxbuntu | egaudet, if there is no mention of it and it doesnt init, then its likely not supported | 01:31 |
| egaudet | i see it now on the wiki, i must have been on a different wiki page | 01:32 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, Correct (obviously there is some work in there) | 01:32 |
| egaudet | sorry for the noob/lazy question, thanks for the help, i'll continue reading | 01:32 |
| Guest88892 | I guess my question is that since the tv can't read encrypted qam, a capture card that can't read it too is alright...am I understanding that right? | 01:33 |
| foxbuntu | egaudet, no problem, don't worry about "noob" questions, but do put effort into googling first | 01:33 |
| egaudet | yea the other pvr 150 kept getting in the way of my google'ing, should have just found the proper mythtv wiki first, thanks | 01:34 |
| Guest88892 | foxbuntu: yeah, I know....I can't tell from the wiki list which ones are closer to plug and play than others. wish I knew more about it to be able to discern better. | 01:35 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, Im not quite sure what you are asking, but Capture cards do not read Encrypted QAM directly. You have to go through a Set-top-Box first or other "cable card enabled" device | 01:35 |
| Guest88892 | foxbuntu...I expect to go through the box | 01:36 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, the haup. PVR-150 is highly supported and common | 01:36 |
| Guest88892 | foxbuntu, I thought that one was just analog, I was going to get one to do ATSC QAM too...I guess I said that right...LOL | 01:37 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, if its an HDTV (not just digital) cable box, You will have a few options, clear QAM recording, HD-PVR External Tuner, Firewire | 01:37 |
| Guest88892 | well I know firewire is out | 01:38 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, Clear QAM with the right tuner will work 100%, HD-PVR is experimental at this point, and Firewire is hit and miss depending on the Cable CO and area | 01:39 |
| Guest88892 | i guess I will go with clear qam. That's prolly what my tv uses now would be my guess | 01:39 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, Clear QAM HD channels are usually only a few channels, local channels are the common choice, if you have the lower 70-80 channels, thats "Digital" Cable | 01:41 |
| Guest88892 | k...even if I run it through the cable box first? I wouldnt expect the card to tune. my guess is that the settopbox would tune. I am just not sure what comes out of it | 01:42 |
| tritium | Why have there been no daily builds the past two days? | 01:43 |
| foxbuntu | tritium, one is coming tonight | 01:43 |
| tritium | foxbuntu: ok, that will be good to try. I haven't been able to get past the partitioner since 2/16 | 01:43 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, you didnt mention you ran your tv through the cable box | 01:43 |
| foxbuntu | Guest24284, what connection options does yout cable box have? | 01:44 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892 ^ | 01:44 |
| Guest88892 | foxbuntu...yeah...sorry...not sure what to ask or say...right now I have STB -> HDTV....I think I want STB->Mythtv->TV | 01:45 |
| Guest88892 | hold on with the other | 01:45 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, yes, that is how myth works | 01:45 |
| Guest88892 | STB outs: cable out, s-video out, component out....it also has a IR port and optical audio | 01:47 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, ok, I assume it also has composite audio out | 01:48 |
| Guest88892 | rca out L R, RCA digital audio, and the optical audio | 01:49 |
| Guest88892 | its a SA 3250 HD | 01:50 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, does it have a DB9 serial port? | 01:50 |
| Guest88892 | no, it does have usb on the front, dvi in the back, and a IR port that looks like a headphone jack | 01:51 |
| Guest88892 | i am not sure what is actually on though.... ;) | 01:51 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, ok, you will need an IR Blaster of some type, you will need a tuner that accepts s-video | 01:53 |
| Guest88892 | cool...thats what i figured. | 01:53 |
| Guest88892 | could I use one that uses 75ohms thick net? | 01:53 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, I havent heard anyone call RG6 that in a very long time | 01:55 |
| Guest88892 | lol...sorry | 01:55 |
| Guest88892 | networking I understand.....cable services...not so much ;) | 01:56 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, no, you wont be able to get all your channels with that, you can use it for your clear QAM however | 01:56 |
| Guest88892 | I guess I figured that for the tv to work, the STB would massage Shotime into a unencrypted qam for the tv | 01:57 |
| Guest88892 | or use the ATSC | 01:57 |
| Guest88892 | I guess I am mistaken | 02:01 |
| egaudet | I open mythtv and click watch TV but nothing happens | 02:02 |
| egaudet | n/m I was gonna ask something on top of that but realized my error. BTW the avermedia just needed a cold boot | 02:08 |
| Guest88892 | so how does the STB get Shotime or HBO to a TV via RG6? wouldn't it have to unencrypt the stream so the tv's clear qam tuner could "see" it? or does it convert it to analog over the RG6? | 02:15 |
| foxbuntu | Guest88892, they are seperate streams of video data...the digital channels are encoded so the STB has to read them | 02:21 |
| foxbuntu | Guest24284, encrypted QAM essentially | 02:21 |

| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about | 02:33 |
| egaudet | I have gotten video but I have no sound with pvr-150 card in mythtv | 02:35 |
| hads | That doesn't make a lot of sense | 02:40 |
| egaudet | bah I give up | 02:53 |
| hads | The PVR-150 encodes MPEG from the audio and video input so it should just work. | 02:54 |
| egaudet | that's what I thought | 02:55 |
| egaudet | but it's making me insane | 02:55 |
| rhpot1991 | egaudet: have you tested sound with something else to make sure its not a system issue? | 02:58 |
| egaudet | yes | 02:58 |
| egaudet | rhpot1991, you mean just making sure my soundcard/speakers work | 02:58 |
| egaudet | interesting mplayer /dev/video0 sound doesn't work either | 02:59 |
| rhpot1991 | egaudet: yep | 03:01 |
| egaudet | yea so I can play movies with sound, music, youtube etc... | 03:01 |
| egaudet | i guess i'll try to reboot | 03:08 |
| egaudet | well a reboot fixed it | 03:12 |
| pteague | it's fun when you finish installing 131% ... | 06:04 |
| rhpot1991 | pteague: now with extra features :) | 06:04 |
| pteague | had to run dpkg manually to update settings before i could install anything with apt | 06:24 |
| Mike909 | any idea how to send mythtv-frontend & mythtv-backend log messages to a remote syslog server? | 07:03 |
| Mike909 | I see the "--logfile" option, but don't know how to have it send to a remote host. | 07:04 |
| superm1 | Mike909, perhaps via netcat or saving the log via NFS | 07:04 |
| Mike909 | yea, I guess i could just save the files to a share, but that sort of relies on another layer to be functioning for it to work. | 07:06 |
| Mike909 | that said, if smbfs, or nfs is down...it is likely the network is down in which case, no logging anyway. | 07:06 |
| Mike909 | come to think of it, I would really like to have it log in the same fashion as a syslog facility...this way I have it both local and remote. | 07:09 |
| superm1 | Mike909, i think nfs would probably be best. if the network is down, at very worst you'll log locally | 07:09 |
| superm1 | well logging for myth doesnt use syslog style logging though | 07:10 |
| superm1 | then you are probably better just rsync'ing logs every so often | 07:10 |
| hads | Although NFS being down is good at bringing other things down | 07:11 |
| superm1 | soft mounting | 07:12 |
| hads | Yeah | 07:13 |
| Mike909 | if I had it logging to a share, and that share went down, would it still log locally? | 07:14 |
| hads | I wouldn't have thought so. | 07:16 |
| hads | hard mounts will put things into uninterruptible sleep, soft mounts will error after a while. | 07:16 |
| Mike909 | yea, I wouldn't think so either...which sucks, cause if network layer goes out...I get no logging at all. | 07:16 |
| Mike909 | thanks for the ideas. cya | 07:23 |
| hads | Oh. tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log | logger -t mythfrontend | 07:25 |
| hads | Too slow | 07:25 |
| pteague | crap, seems i have several package conflicts... is there a way to get an entire list of conflicts? | 09:58 |
| pteague | hmm... i have conflicts on libapr1, libaprutil1, libdebconfclient0, libvncserver0, update-inted, & ntp ... removing them doesn't *seem* to hurt anything on a front end | 10:06 |
| pteague | anybody know what the name of the sound applet is in xubuntu? i can't seem to get it added to the panel | 10:49 |
