| |dthacker| | hello. I just installed mythbuntu 8.10 but I'm not able to connect to the backend server. I need to use a static IP address as I'll have multiple front ends. How do I fix the error? | 03:16 |

| awilkins | Hmm, the "build-dep" part of the mythtv package is broken, anyone know how to replace a package name in it?> | 10:25 |
| awilkins | How does one build the mythtv .deb packages? I've found pages that recommend checkinstall, but this builds one monolithic package which then clashes with mythtv-frontend ; how do you build the "official" package set? | 11:10 |

| superm1 | awilkins, use a pbuilder, PPA, or sbuild setup to build them | 15:10 |
| awilkins | superm1: Thanks, I've got my PPA to build them | 15:11 |
| superm1 | cool | 15:12 |
| awilkins | Although debuild seemed to work ok too | 15:12 |
| awilkins | I got a bit confused about version numbering but I understand the ~ now | 15:12 |
| awilkins | I've tried to backport a few fixes from trunk to fix the problem with DVB seektables being ludicrously wrong when you rebuild them | 15:13 |
| Shred00 | any news on the weekly-updates fixing that happened/needed happening? | 15:14 |
| superm1 | Shred00, hopefully will be able to poke them tonight to see if we can find what's going on | 15:15 |
| Shred00 | superm1: ok. great. just wanted to raise a flag if it was thought everything should be ok at this point. | 15:16 |
| superm1 | awilkins, if you get those backported and have success, i'd recommend asking upstream to pull them into -fixes too, then whenever we get our -fixes fixed again (hopefully tonight :)) then they'll "just" be there | 15:16 |
| superm1 | Shred00, thanks for raising a flag. there was supposed to be an email system that pung us when things didnt happen, but it looks like that failed | 15:16 |
| Shred00 | superm1: np. no worries. nothing urgent. just like to have fixes to all known/existing bugs. | 15:17 |
| awilkins | superm1: Indeedy. I may have done it in a horribly amateur way as well, they'd probably do a better job | 15:18 |
| awilkins | superm1: My C++ is highly rusty so the backport was mostly done by asking SVN to do it | 15:18 |
| * awilkins installs while imagining a small drumroll | 15:24 | |
| awilkins | Ok. Good - didn't explode. | 15:29 |
| awilkins | Bad - lirc config is busted or something | 15:29 |
| awilkins | Oooh, holy crap it actually had the desired effect | 15:36 |
| * awilkins does the "fixed teh bug" dance. | 15:37 | |
| awilkins | Now I want my LIRC back :-) | 15:37 |
| awilkins | Hmph, it was just sulking | 15:40 |

| javatexan | hey guys...I need help....when I boot my system it won't get passed the fscheck...it says that it booted so many times without doing them....blah blah. My problem is that the checks fail and I can never actually boot..... | 16:07 |
| javatexan | any ideas?...can I boot off the Live CD and mount the other to copy stuff over? | 16:08 |
| javatexan | or is there a way to force the boot without the check...it complains of a "short read"... | 16:08 |
| javatexan | I am stuck.... | 16:09 |
| tgm4883 | Shred00, yea? | 16:16 |
| Shred00 | tgm4883: was just asking about weekly fixes status but superm1 answered already. thanx for pining me though. | 16:16 |
| Shred00 | not so much in a hurry, just wanted to make sure it wasn't thought to be fixed, but not yet actually fixed, sorta thing. | 16:17 |
| superm1 | tgm4883, it looks like it was probably caused by changes to the -fixes branch to pull the svn revision from the debian/changelog | 16:17 |
| superm1 | so i think the weekly build script just needs to have those two lines that modify SVN_REVISION in debian/rules ripped out | 16:17 |
| tgm4883 | so weekly builds are going again then? | 16:18 |
| superm1 | tgm4883, no i dont have access to the weekly build script currently | 16:30 |
| styelz | i've downloaded the source for mythtv using apt-get source mythtv, and applied a patch i need. im rebuilding the package using ./confiugure && make . then checkinstall to create a deb installer. would that work well ? | 16:38 |
| awilkins | styelz: Nope | 16:38 |
| awilkins | styelz: what's the patch? | 16:38 |
| styelz | http://www.silicondust.com/tmp/mythtv-0-21-fixes-dvbt.patch | 16:38 |
| awilkins | styelz: I just went through this all this morning | 16:38 |
| styelz | sorry i got disconnected | 16:38 |
| styelz | any logs around | 16:39 |
| styelz | im on a bouncer | 16:39 |
| awilkins | styelz: Ah, no, I went through doing it myself | 16:39 |
| styelz | awww | 16:39 |
| awilkins | styelz: Not talking about it in channel | 16:39 |
| styelz | i c | 16:39 |
| awilkins | So I can help! | 16:39 |
| awilkins | AHa! | 16:39 |
| awilkins | You want to use debuild | 16:39 |
| styelz | so no ./configure | 16:40 |
| awilkins | You've got the sources | 16:40 |
| awilkins | no./configure | 16:40 |
| styelz | ill start again then | 16:40 |
| awilkins | Yesss | 16:40 |
| awilkins | Delete source tree and apt-get source it again | 16:40 |
| awilkins | THen make 2 copies | 16:40 |
| * awilkins is having to check now | 16:41 | |
| styelz | thanks | 16:41 |
| awilkins | You need a dpatch to put in debian/patches | 16:41 |
| styelz | sounds scary | 16:41 |
| tgm4883 | what does that patch do? | 16:41 |
| awilkins | You add the patch to your lis | 16:41 |
| awilkins | t | 16:41 |
| awilkins | And then debuild applies it automagically during build | 16:42 |
| styelz | the patch fixes a channel scan problem on the hdhomerun. | 16:42 |
| styelz | ok | 16:43 |
| styelz | how do i get a dpatch from that patch i have | 16:43 |
| styelz | just copy it in there | 16:43 |
| awilkins | There's a util for it | 16:43 |
| styelz | ah | 16:43 |
| styelz | is it called.. dpatch | 16:43 |
| styelz | :) | 16:43 |
| awilkins | .. hmm, might be | 16:44 |
| awilkins | I'm not at my desktop | 16:44 |
| awilkins | I came downstairs to test my patched build of MythTV :-) | 16:44 |
| styelz | the patch gives me an extra scan option in the backend.. "Full Scan (DVB)" | 16:45 |
| styelz | cool | 16:45 |
| styelz | dpatch-convert-diffgz | 16:45 |
| styelz | gotta be one of these | 16:45 |
| styelz | i guess i make it 01 ? | 16:46 |
| awilkins | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#dpatch | 16:46 |
| styelz | dpatch-convert-diffgz 01 /var/www/mythtv-0-21-fixes-dvbt.patch | 16:47 |
| styelz | works | 16:47 |
| styelz | its doing something | 16:47 |
| styelz | ... dpkg-source: info: building mythtv using existing mythtv_0.21.0+fixes18722.orig.tar.gz | 16:47 |
| styelz | hm | 16:47 |
| styelz | oops | 16:47 |
| awilkins | I had to convert a standard udiff with it | 16:48 |
| awilkins | Ah, it was the patch-template command | 16:50 |
| styelz | whats that command | 16:52 |
| awilkins | dpatch patch-template "29_dvb-t_patch" < the_patch_file.diff > 29_dvb-t_patch.dpatch | 16:52 |
| awilkins | A "dpatch" is apparently just a patch file with a self-executing "patch this" bit at the top | 16:53 |
| awilkins | replace "the_patch_file.diff" with the patch you've got | 16:53 |
| styelz | ah | 16:54 |
| styelz | yea i see it in the man page now | 16:54 |
| awilkins | Then you add the patch name to 00list in the debian/patches folder and put the dpatch in there | 16:54 |
| awilkins | Then do a dch -i and edit the changelo | 16:55 |
| awilkins | Then I'd do debuild -S to get a source package in the top folder, then a debuild binary-arch to make arch-specific .debs for your machine | 16:55 |
| awilkins | My machine is merrily rebuilding all the seektables that were screwed up | 16:57 |
| styelz | fun | 16:57 |
| awilkins | I was suitably impressed with the total awesomeness of Launchpad - shove the code up to it and get a shiny new set of debs 20 mins later | 16:57 |
| awilkins | Doing a build with all the options on would have stressed my mythtv box out, poor thing | 16:58 |
| awilkins | It's only a wee Sempron | 16:58 |
| styelz | sounds cool | 16:59 |
| styelz | whats launchpad | 17:00 |
| styelz | sounds familiar | 17:00 |
| awilkins | The Canonical/Ubuntu equivalent of sourceforge | 17:00 |
| styelz | ah | 17:01 |
| awilkins | http://launchpad.net | 17:01 |
| styelz | i dont have dch command | 17:01 |
| styelz | dchroot | 17:02 |
| awilkins | dch is in erm... devscripts? | 17:02 |
| styelz | is that it? | 17:02 |
| styelz | ok | 17:02 |
| styelz | k | 17:03 |
| styelz | thatgot it | 17:03 |
| styelz | im glad im not in a hurry | 17:09 |
| awilkins | It is somewhat long winded | 17:10 |
| awilkins | I suspect it gets easier the more you do it | 17:10 |
| styelz | i dont have pbuilder-satisfydepends | 17:10 |
| javatexan | help!!! | 17:10 |
| styelz | oh i can see whats missing in the list | 17:11 |
| awilkins | styelz: Hmm, neither do I | 17:11 |
| styelz | dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: ... | 17:11 |
| awilkins | If you do sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv | 17:11 |
| awilkins | It won't work | 17:11 |
| styelz | yea i didnt want to go there | 17:12 |
| awilkins | Because liblame has been renamed | 17:12 |
| awilkins | But it does give you a list of things to install | 17:12 |
| styelz | ye | 17:12 |
| awilkins | Or just do the launchpad thing and it takes care of deps for you | 17:12 |
| awilkins | I think it's using sbuilder (snapshotted LVMs which it then installs packages on on demand) | 17:13 |
| awilkins | THe logs are most illuminating | 17:13 |
| styelz | hmm | 17:13 |
| awilkins | Or you could install pbuilder | 17:14 |
| styelz | yea i did | 17:14 |
| styelz | working nwo | 17:15 |
| awilkins | I just hand-installed the deps, so I'm gonna burn in Heck | 17:15 |
| styelz | building-arch | 17:15 |
| styelz | running through configure etc | 17:15 |
| styelz | yea thats what i did | 17:15 |
| styelz | cause i couldnt find pbuilder-satisfydepends | 17:16 |
| styelz | heh | 17:16 |
| styelz | i figured, ny the time ive worked that out i could have copy pasted what it told me was missing | 17:16 |
| styelz | i dont plan on doing this often | 17:17 |
| javatexan | can you install mythbuntu on a xfs partition? | 17:17 |
| tgm4883 | javatexan, I don't think you can put root on an xfs partition | 17:19 |
| awilkins | My storage is all XFS but the software used to be on reiserfs and is now on ext3 | 17:19 |
| awilkins | If grub can't mount it, you can't put /boot on it | 17:20 |
| awilkins | If /boot is on a seperate partition with an fs that grub can mount, you can probably put root on xfs as long as you build XFS into your kernel not as a module (?) | 17:20 |
| awilkins | But I may be talking rubbish | 17:21 |
| javatexan | my boot partition keeps messing itself up as ext3...so I am thinking of moving to xfs to help....may end up making 30GB partition to install and mount as read only, and then make the rest xfs....n | 17:22 |
| awilkins | I found that a /boot that you don't mount in fstab reliable | 17:23 |
| javatexan | yeah...it works fine for a while and then starts having trouble | 17:23 |
| awilkins | my /boot is ext2, and for a long time I only ever mounted it to update the kernel | 17:24 |
| javatexan | yep that is what I need | 17:24 |
| javatexan | so is it only boot that needs to be RO? | 17:24 |
| javatexan | sorry /boot | 17:24 |
| awilkins | It doesn't even need to be mounted | 17:24 |
| awilkins | Once grub has loaded the kernel off it the OS doesn't care | 17:25 |
| javatexan | yeah...gotcha...i was thinking in separate partition, sorry | 17:25 |
| awilkins | Mine is.. swap (1GB) boot (100MB), root (20GB), storage(xfs) | 17:26 |
| javatexan | yeah it won't boot off the drive but I can mount it on a running ubuntu install vi sabrent usb/sata | 17:26 |
| awilkins | Maybe your hardware is flaky | 17:26 |
| javatexan | thats what I need. | 17:26 |
| javatexan | its two sets of hardware though.... | 17:26 |
| javatexan | new mobos, ram, ect | 17:27 |
| awilkins | Both of them scerw /boot? | 17:27 |
| awilkins | Weird | 17:27 |
| javatexan | yeahh | 17:27 |
| javatexan | one was intel mobo...this one is a gigabyte | 17:27 |
| awilkins | Ancient uATX nforce2 board | 17:28 |
| javatexan | i have a new hd to replace, but its 500GB...so | 17:28 |
| awilkins | With a sempron on it | 17:28 |
| javatexan | i made the mistake of thinking intel mobo/intel cpu == more reliable... sheessshhh | 17:28 |
| awilkins | I keep being tempted to replace my drives with a couple of 1TB units, those new green ones that are quieter | 17:28 |
| awilkins | A BIOS update may be in order | 17:29 |
| awilkins | The prospect of copying 1TB of data via the USB port though... | 17:29 |
| awilkins | Not so interesting | 17:29 |
| javatexan | yeah they are nice...my problem is that once I get everything up and running again, I will have to uninstall and rebuild x264/ffmpeg/mplayer from source again :( | 17:29 |
| javatexan | yep, that would take a while | 17:30 |
| javatexan | ;) | 17:30 |
| awilkins | The wife would just fill it with schmaltzy chick stuff anyway | 17:30 |
| javatexan | i plan to replace my tivo's hdd with a new green 1TB | 17:31 |
| javatexan | ;) | 17:31 |
| awilkins | She has a blanket ban on deleting anything with corsets or chintz in | 17:31 |
| javatexan | lol | 17:31 |
| javatexan | my wife keeps watching what I call "alternate lifestyle tv"....all the cooking and decorating competition shows.....YUCK!!! | 17:32 |
| awilkins | Heh, the cooking ; she's _such_ a picky eater, worse than my daughter (who's 4) | 17:33 |
| javatexan | I keep telling her that those shows are set to where we cant record them on mythtv... ;) | 17:33 |
| awilkins | But she does like cooking shows | 17:33 |
| awilkins | And house shows | 17:33 |
| javatexan | i don't mind the cooking...its all the alt lifestyle stuff | 17:33 |
| awilkins | I want a hobbit hole or an Earthship, so I like some of them | 17:34 |
| awilkins | It's Not Easy Being Green (although it's not as good now) | 17:34 |
| javatexan | keep wanting to yell at the tv, "come on boys, there's no crying in baseball!!" | 17:34 |
| awilkins | He's got all the basic life needs sorted and now the show covers too many things like green cosmetics | 17:34 |
| MythbuntuGuest86 | Watching some shows transcoded with the good filter, audio and video is played back in slow motion. What to do? | 17:51 |
| javatexan | how big is swap supposed to be these days? | 19:40 |
| javatexan | used to be 2x RAM | 19:40 |
| javatexan | but 16G of swap seems a little big? :) | 19:41 |
| awilkins | I actually use the same as RAM now | 20:15 |
| awilkins | With a 32-bit OS it doesn't matter | 20:15 |
| awilkins | If you have 3 GB, you're never using swap anyway | 20:15 |
| awilkins | If you have 8GB I can't fathom a reason for swapping that doesn't involve being a big fat server or a nasty runaway process | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | I use 1GB | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | well, actually, I just set it to 1000 in the partitioner | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | so slightly under 1 GB | 20:18 |
| rhpot1991 | I have 1GB on my laptop, looks like my desktops I follwed the x2 rule | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991 | x2 rule isn't really needed anymore though | 20:22 |
| MythbuntuGuest86 | Watching some shows transcoded with the good filter, audio and video is played back in slow motion. What to do? | 21:03 |
| javatexan | what is a ata8.0 error UNC? | 21:36 |
