dthackerhello03:30
dthackerI'm building a new 8.10 backend (only backend on network).   It looks like mythfilldb is pulling listings from my account, but I'm not getting any listings in the database.  How can I troubleshoot??03:32
* dthacker nudges the channel to see if anyone is awake03:53
jargonjustinHey all, I just did a dist-upgrade from Mythbuntu 8.08 to 8.10, and my display setup (proprietary nvidia) seems to have broken.  Now when I go to Hardware Drivers and try to activate the new driver, nothing seems to happen.04:19
jargonjustinThat is, after clicking activate I get a brief progress bar to come up (after authentication) that then disappears, leaving the driver unactivated. I'm not sure what logs to check for more information.04:20
dthackerjust ran mythfilldatabase with the -v database flag.  Inserts appear to be ok, I still have no listings.  How do I debug and fix?04:42
=== mike is now known as Guest41022
Guest41022hey all, having a strange problem with Mythbuntu, where Xfce is showing up as a blank screen. I can access the other terminal windows, all are coming up w/ command line... This was working a few days ago...06:24
Shadow__Xis there a way to run xfce applets in gnome?08:54
dthackerhappy Saturday12:56
dthackerI'm still not seeing any listings at all in the guide.   I ran mythfilldatabase with the -v database option to watch the inserts and everything looks ok. How can I debug and fix this?12:57
rlameirohi13:04
rlameiroanyone here knows how to mount something using run levels?13:04
rlameiroI wanted to mount a samba share at runlevel 513:04
rlameirorc5.d13:04
rlameirodoes the script need to have specialthings?13:05
rlameiro only puted the #!/bin/sh13:05
rlameiroand then the mount command13:05
* dthacker is going to manually look at the database to see if listings are getting inserted13:11
dthackerhmmm can't log in as user "mythtv" at the command line13:22
dthackerreboot again.13:23
dthackerwhat does "Enable Database Server Wakeup" do?  Isn't the database always up?13:27
rlameiroI think not13:28
rlameiroI think it is to save resources13:28
rlameirobut I am not expert13:29
dthackerok, mysqld daemons are running, that's promising13:31
dthackermysql -u mythtv -p is not working with the password shown on the front end setup screen.13:33
dthackerthis all started when I tried to enter set the machine on a static IP address, and I had a working 7.10 setup with remote frontends.  Argh13:35
dthacker!listings13:38
ZinnSorry I don't know about listings13:38
dthacker!database13:39
ZinnSorry I don't know about database13:39
dthackerWell, this channel has been really dead this week.  I'll go try the mailing list.13:44
rlameiroyea is dead13:47
rlameirokkk13:47
|dthacker|I think I've isolated my problem to mythfilldatabase not inserting into the MySQL tables.   Any troubleshooting tips?14:28
rhpot1991!mysql | |dthacker|14:28
Zinn|dthacker|: If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common14:28
|dthacker|thanks rhpot1991, but I'm reluctant to do that, because I can connect at the command line using mysql -u mythtv -p and the password in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt14:31
rhpot1991|dthacker|: I'd verify the grabber is returning something, and that your mythtv mysql user can write to the mythconverg database14:32
|dthacker|rhpot1991: I've run mythfilldatabase -v database and watched the log.  I'm getting program info and it's getting formed into SQL inserts.  I don't think that debug option logs MySql insert errors.  I think I'm not inserting, 'cos I've got zero rows in the "program" table14:36
|dthacker|I'm going to run a "refresh-today14:38
|dthacker|and see what happens....14:38
|dthacker|2009-03-14 09:39:50.347 No channels are configured to use grabber.14:42
|dthacker| 14:42
|dthacker|tha looks suspicious14:42
|dthacker|found it.  missing setting in lineup.14:56
