[00:07] here's output from lshw - http://pastebin.com/mc78a6f0 [00:08] 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 [00:09] !help [00:09] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [00:19] 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" ?? [00:20] clicking ok on that gives me 'Could not find the GNOME installation, will try running the "Failsafe xterm" session' [00:47] mv: cannot stat `/var/run/motd.new': No such file or directory [00:47] even after I created such a file/dir [00:47] pteague, this 9.04? 8.10? 8.04? [00:47] 8.04 32bit [00:48] pteague, try the alternate disk [00:48] for 8.04 [00:48] darthanubis, sounds like a permissions thing, why are you trying to mv a file from /var/run? [00:48] I am not [00:49] it seems myth is [00:49] I did not know about it, until I installed the exim package to get local mail [00:49] since I have been getting cron daemon reports of this error [00:50] I suppose I could just stop the particular cron job? [00:51] darthanubis, motd is the daemon mytharchive uses [00:51] really [00:51] darthanubis, no, Im just screwing with you [00:51] ..yes [00:52] hmm [00:52] what shall I do? [00:53] darthanubis, do you use mytharchive? [00:54] I'd like to, thats why I have it installed. But I've yet too [00:56] darthanubis, do you have a pastebin of your logs? [00:57] not at this moment but I can make it so [00:57] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f472c3c16 [01:20] 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 [01:21] darthanubis, google for how to enable cron job logging [01:21] it's logging rright ot my inbox [01:22] darthanubis, um, the cron daemon has its own logging [01:28] I can't get a pvr-150 working [01:29] 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] is the averTV pvr-150 the same as the happauge pvr 150 i've been reading about on the wiki? [01:29] egaudet, no [01:30] is the avertv pvr-150 supported with any driver under linux? [01:30] egaudet, check the wiki [01:30] i see no mention of avertv 150 anywhere [01:31] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Hardware [01:31] egaudet, look in the forums [01:31] egaudet, if there is no mention of it and it doesnt init, then its likely not supported [01:32] i see it now on the wiki, i must have been on a different wiki page [01:32] Guest88892, Correct (obviously there is some work in there) [01:32] sorry for the noob/lazy question, thanks for the help, i'll continue reading [01:33] 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] egaudet, no problem, don't worry about "noob" questions, but do put effort into googling first [01:34] yea the other pvr 150 kept getting in the way of my google'ing, should have just found the proper mythtv wiki first, thanks [01:35] 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] 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 [01:36] foxbuntu...I expect to go through the box [01:36] Guest88892, the haup. PVR-150 is highly supported and common [01:37] 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] Guest88892, if its an HDTV (not just digital) cable box, You will have a few options, clear QAM recording, HD-PVR External Tuner, Firewire [01:38] well I know firewire is out [01:39] 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] i guess I will go with clear qam. That's prolly what my tv uses now would be my guess [01:41] 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 [01:42] 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 [01:43] Why have there been no daily builds the past two days? [01:43] tritium, one is coming tonight [01:43] foxbuntu: ok, that will be good to try. I haven't been able to get past the partitioner since 2/16 [01:43] Guest88892, you didnt mention you ran your tv through the cable box [01:44] Guest24284, what connection options does yout cable box have? [01:44] Guest88892 ^ [01:45] 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] hold on with the other [01:45] Guest88892, yes, that is how myth works [01:47] STB outs: cable out, s-video out, component out....it also has a IR port and optical audio [01:48] Guest88892, ok, I assume it also has composite audio out [01:49] rca out L R, RCA digital audio, and the optical audio [01:50] its a SA 3250 HD [01:50] Guest88892, does it have a DB9 serial port? [01:51] no, it does have usb on the front, dvi in the back, and a IR port that looks like a headphone jack [01:51] i am not sure what is actually on though.... ;) [01:53] Guest88892, ok, you will need an IR Blaster of some type, you will need a tuner that accepts s-video [01:53] cool...thats what i figured. [01:53] could I use one that uses 75ohms thick net? [01:55] Guest88892, I havent heard anyone call RG6 that in a very long time [01:55] lol...sorry [01:56] networking I understand.....cable services...not so much ;) [01:56] Guest88892, no, you wont be able to get all your channels with that, you can use it for your clear QAM however [01:57] I guess I figured that for the tv to work, the STB would massage Shotime into a unencrypted qam for the tv [01:57] or use the ATSC [02:01] I guess I am mistaken [02:02] I open mythtv and click watch TV but nothing happens [02:08] n/m I was gonna ask something on top of that but realized my error. BTW the avermedia just needed a cold boot [02:15] 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? [02:21] Guest88892, they are seperate streams of video data...the digital channels are encoded so the STB has to read them [02:21] Guest24284, encrypted QAM essentially [02:33] hey all [02:33] !help [02:33] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [02:33] ! [02:33] Sorry I don't know about [02:35] I have gotten video but I have no sound with pvr-150 card in mythtv [02:40] That doesn't make a lot of sense [02:53] bah I give up [02:54] The PVR-150 encodes MPEG from the audio and video input so it should just work. [02:55] that's what I thought [02:55] but it's making me insane [02:58] egaudet: have you tested sound with something else to make sure its not a system issue? [02:58] yes [02:58] rhpot1991, you mean just making sure my soundcard/speakers work [02:59] interesting mplayer /dev/video0 sound doesn't work either [03:01] egaudet: yep [03:01] yea so I can play movies with sound, music, youtube etc... [03:08] i guess i'll try to reboot [03:12] well a reboot fixed it [06:04] it's fun when you finish installing 131% ... [06:04] pteague: now with extra features :) [06:24] had to run dpkg manually to update settings before i could install anything with apt [07:03] any idea how to send mythtv-frontend & mythtv-backend log messages to a remote syslog server? [07:04] I see the "--logfile" option, but don't know how to have it send to a remote host. [07:04] Mike909, perhaps via netcat or saving the log via NFS [07:06] 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] that said, if smbfs, or nfs is down...it is likely the network is down in which case, no logging anyway. [07:09] 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] Mike909, i think nfs would probably be best. if the network is down, at very worst you'll log locally [07:10] well logging for myth doesnt use syslog style logging though [07:10] then you are probably better just rsync'ing logs every so often [07:11] Although NFS being down is good at bringing other things down [07:12] soft mounting [07:13] Yeah [07:14] if I had it logging to a share, and that share went down, would it still log locally? [07:16] I wouldn't have thought so. [07:16] hard mounts will put things into uninterruptible sleep, soft mounts will error after a while. [07:16] yea, I wouldn't think so either...which sucks, cause if network layer goes out...I get no logging at all. [07:23] thanks for the ideas. cya [07:25] Oh. tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log | logger -t mythfrontend [07:25] Too slow [09:58] crap, seems i have several package conflicts... is there a way to get an entire list of conflicts? [10:06] hmm... i have conflicts on libapr1, libaprutil1, libdebconfclient0, libvncserver0, update-inted, & ntp ... removing them doesn't *seem* to hurt anything on a front end [10:49] anybody know what the name of the sound applet is in xubuntu? i can't seem to get it added to the panel === Guest24284 is now known as bogus- [18:29] hi guys i know my aerial isn't great so i am not getting all the channels from an automatic scan so i want to add them manually but where do i get the info from to fill in all the boxes? === tgm4883` is now known as tgm4883 === rhpot199` is now known as rhpot1991 === superm1` is now known as superm1 [20:12] Cron [ -x /etc/init.d/mythtv-status ] && /etc/init.d/mythtv-status reload > /dev/null [20:12] mv: cannot stat `/var/run/motd.new': No such file or directory [20:13] why is mythtv-status trying to write to a non-existent file? [23:55] how do I take the mythbuntu out of my selected sessions at the login screen? I uninstalled mythbuntu-desktop and even the entry is still there
