[01:13] Hi if anyones listening, i'm having problems watching LiveTV, but recording works just fine. [01:13] Heres my pastebin http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f41716ef9 [01:14] I'm using pinnalce's 800i card btw === hads_ is now known as hads [01:44] How is **perlmonkey doing the on-demand part, I wonder? === foxbuntu` is now known as foxbuntu_ === foxbuntu_ is now known as foxbuntu [03:16] <|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? [03:45] Any have any experience with this grub error: [03:46] Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition [03:46] The latest kernel is giving it to me [03:46] Older ones are still useable [03:46] running mythbuntu 8.10 with ubuntu-desktop installed [10:25] Hmm, the "build-dep" part of the mythtv package is broken, anyone know how to replace a package name in it?> [11:10] 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? [12:09] tgm4883: around? === tritium_ is now known as tritium === larstr_ is now known as larstr [15:10] awilkins, use a pbuilder, PPA, or sbuild setup to build them [15:11] superm1: Thanks, I've got my PPA to build them [15:12] cool [15:12] Although debuild seemed to work ok too [15:12] I got a bit confused about version numbering but I understand the ~ now [15:13] I've tried to backport a few fixes from trunk to fix the problem with DVB seektables being ludicrously wrong when you rebuild them [15:14] any news on the weekly-updates fixing that happened/needed happening? [15:15] Shred00, hopefully will be able to poke them tonight to see if we can find what's going on [15:16] superm1: ok. great. just wanted to raise a flag if it was thought everything should be ok at this point. [15:16] 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] 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 [15:17] superm1: np. no worries. nothing urgent. just like to have fixes to all known/existing bugs. [15:18] superm1: Indeedy. I may have done it in a horribly amateur way as well, they'd probably do a better job [15:18] superm1: My C++ is highly rusty so the backport was mostly done by asking SVN to do it [15:24] * awilkins installs while imagining a small drumroll [15:29] Ok. Good - didn't explode. [15:29] Bad - lirc config is busted or something [15:36] Oooh, holy crap it actually had the desired effect [15:37] * awilkins does the "fixed teh bug" dance. [15:37] Now I want my LIRC back :-) [15:40] Hmph, it was just sulking === JP-sNL is now known as jpsnl1 [16:07] 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..... [16:08] any ideas?...can I boot off the Live CD and mount the other to copy stuff over? [16:08] or is there a way to force the boot without the check...it complains of a "short read"... [16:09] I am stuck.... [16:16] Shred00, yea? [16:16] tgm4883: was just asking about weekly fixes status but superm1 answered already. thanx for pining me though. [16:17] 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] 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] so i think the weekly build script just needs to have those two lines that modify SVN_REVISION in debian/rules ripped out [16:18] so weekly builds are going again then? [16:30] tgm4883, no i dont have access to the weekly build script currently [16:38] 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] styelz: Nope [16:38] styelz: what's the patch? [16:38] http://www.silicondust.com/tmp/mythtv-0-21-fixes-dvbt.patch [16:38] styelz: I just went through this all this morning [16:38] sorry i got disconnected [16:39] any logs around [16:39] im on a bouncer [16:39] styelz: Ah, no, I went through doing it myself [16:39] awww [16:39] styelz: Not talking about it in channel [16:39] i c [16:39] So I can help! [16:39] AHa! [16:39] You want to use debuild [16:40] so no ./configure [16:40] You've got the sources [16:40] no./configure [16:40] ill start again then [16:40] Yesss [16:40] Delete source tree and apt-get source it again [16:40] THen make 2 copies [16:41] * awilkins is having to check now [16:41] thanks [16:41] You need a dpatch to put in debian/patches [16:41] sounds scary [16:41] what does that patch do? [16:41] You add the patch to your lis [16:41] t [16:42] And then debuild applies it automagically during build [16:42] the patch fixes a channel scan problem on the hdhomerun. [16:43] ok [16:43] how do i get a dpatch from that patch i have [16:43] just copy it in there [16:43] There's a util for it [16:43] ah [16:43] is it called.. dpatch [16:43] :) [16:44] .. hmm, might be [16:44] I'm not at my desktop [16:44] I came downstairs to test my patched build of MythTV :-) [16:45] the patch gives me an extra scan option in the backend.. "Full Scan (DVB)" [16:45] cool [16:45] dpatch-convert-diffgz [16:45] gotta be one of these [16:46] i guess i make it 01 ? [16:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#dpatch [16:47] dpatch-convert-diffgz 01 /var/www/mythtv-0-21-fixes-dvbt.patch [16:47] works [16:47] its doing something [16:47] ... dpkg-source: info: building mythtv using existing mythtv_0.21.0+fixes18722.orig.tar.gz [16:47] hm [16:47] oops [16:48] I had to convert a standard udiff with it [16:50] Ah, it was the patch-template command [16:52] whats that command [16:52] dpatch patch-template "29_dvb-t_patch" < the_patch_file.diff > 29_dvb-t_patch.dpatch [16:53] A "dpatch" is apparently just a patch file with a self-executing "patch this" bit at the top [16:53] replace "the_patch_file.diff" with the patch you've got [16:54] ah [16:54] yea i see it in the man page now [16:54] Then you add the patch name to 00list in the debian/patches folder and put the dpatch in there [16:55] Then do a dch -i and edit the changelo [16:55] 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 [16:57] My machine is merrily rebuilding all the seektables that were screwed up [16:57] fun [16:57] 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 [16:58] Doing a build with all the options on would have stressed my mythtv box out, poor thing [16:58] It's only a wee Sempron [16:59] sounds cool [17:00] whats launchpad [17:00] sounds familiar [17:00] The Canonical/Ubuntu equivalent of sourceforge [17:01] ah [17:01] http://launchpad.net [17:01] i dont have dch command [17:02] dchroot [17:02] dch is in erm... devscripts? [17:02] is that it? [17:02] ok [17:03] k [17:03] thatgot it [17:09] im glad im not in a hurry [17:10] It is somewhat long winded [17:10] I suspect it gets easier the more you do it [17:10] i dont have pbuilder-satisfydepends [17:10] help!!! [17:11] oh i can see whats missing in the list [17:11] styelz: Hmm, neither do I [17:11] dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: ... [17:11] If you do sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv [17:11] It won't work [17:12] yea i didnt want to go there [17:12] Because liblame has been renamed [17:12] But it does give you a list of things to install [17:12] ye [17:12] Or just do the launchpad thing and it takes care of deps for you [17:13] I think it's using sbuilder (snapshotted LVMs which it then installs packages on on demand) [17:13] THe logs are most illuminating [17:13] hmm [17:14] Or you could install pbuilder [17:14] yea i did [17:15] working nwo [17:15] I just hand-installed the deps, so I'm gonna burn in Heck [17:15] building-arch [17:15] running through configure etc [17:15] yea thats what i did [17:16] cause i couldnt find pbuilder-satisfydepends [17:16] heh [17:16] i figured, ny the time ive worked that out i could have copy pasted what it told me was missing [17:17] i dont plan on doing this often [17:17] can you install mythbuntu on a xfs partition? [17:19] javatexan, I don't think you can put root on an xfs partition [17:19] My storage is all XFS but the software used to be on reiserfs and is now on ext3 [17:20] If grub can't mount it, you can't put /boot on it [17:20] 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 (?) [17:21] But I may be talking rubbish [17:22] 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 [17:23] I found that a /boot that you don't mount in fstab reliable [17:23] yeah...it works fine for a while and then starts having trouble [17:24] my /boot is ext2, and for a long time I only ever mounted it to update the kernel [17:24] yep that is what I need [17:24] so is it only boot that needs to be RO? [17:24] sorry /boot [17:24] It doesn't even need to be mounted [17:25] Once grub has loaded the kernel off it the OS doesn't care [17:25] yeah...gotcha...i was thinking in separate partition, sorry [17:26] Mine is.. swap (1GB) boot (100MB), root (20GB), storage(xfs) [17:26] yeah it won't boot off the drive but I can mount it on a running ubuntu install vi sabrent usb/sata [17:26] Maybe your hardware is flaky [17:26] thats what I need. [17:26] its two sets of hardware though.... [17:27] new mobos, ram, ect [17:27] Both of them scerw /boot? [17:27] Weird [17:27] yeahh [17:27] one was intel mobo...this one is a gigabyte [17:28] Ancient uATX nforce2 board [17:28] i have a new hd to replace, but its 500GB...so [17:28] With a sempron on it [17:28] i made the mistake of thinking intel mobo/intel cpu == more reliable... sheessshhh [17:28] I keep being tempted to replace my drives with a couple of 1TB units, those new green ones that are quieter [17:29] A BIOS update may be in order [17:29] The prospect of copying 1TB of data via the USB port though... [17:29] Not so interesting [17:29] 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 :( [17:30] yep, that would take a while [17:30] ;) [17:30] The wife would just fill it with schmaltzy chick stuff anyway [17:31] i plan to replace my tivo's hdd with a new green 1TB [17:31] ;) [17:31] She has a blanket ban on deleting anything with corsets or chintz in [17:31] lol [17:32] my wife keeps watching what I call "alternate lifestyle tv"....all the cooking and decorating competition shows.....YUCK!!! [17:33] Heh, the cooking ; she's _such_ a picky eater, worse than my daughter (who's 4) [17:33] I keep telling her that those shows are set to where we cant record them on mythtv... ;) [17:33] But she does like cooking shows [17:33] And house shows [17:33] i don't mind the cooking...its all the alt lifestyle stuff [17:34] I want a hobbit hole or an Earthship, so I like some of them [17:34] It's Not Easy Being Green (although it's not as good now) [17:34] keep wanting to yell at the tv, "come on boys, there's no crying in baseball!!" [17:34] He's got all the basic life needs sorted and now the show covers too many things like green cosmetics [17:51] Watching some shows transcoded with the good filter, audio and video is played back in slow motion. What to do? [19:40] how big is swap supposed to be these days? [19:40] used to be 2x RAM [19:41] but 16G of swap seems a little big? :) [20:15] I actually use the same as RAM now [20:15] With a 32-bit OS it doesn't matter [20:15] If you have 3 GB, you're never using swap anyway [20:17] 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] I use 1GB [20:18] well, actually, I just set it to 1000 in the partitioner [20:18] so slightly under 1 GB [20:22] I have 1GB on my laptop, looks like my desktops I follwed the x2 rule [20:22] x2 rule isn't really needed anymore though [21:03] Watching some shows transcoded with the good filter, audio and video is played back in slow motion. What to do? [21:36] what is a ata8.0 error UNC? === _Mazga is now known as Mazga [22:14] whats the username/password for the mythtv tables after install of mythbuntu 8.10?? [22:14] in mysql [22:20] or is there anywhere i can get the auto searched channel freqs from ? they used to show in mythweb. [23:36] still having LCD trouble on the antec fusion v2 (silver). I'm getting this error when I try to restart LCDd: ERROR opening /dev/lcd0 (no such file or directory [23:37] it goes on to ask if I loaded the iMON VFD kernel module. [23:57] Hey guys, I've used MU 8.04 before and wasnt really too impressed. How much better (or worse) is MU 8.10?
