[02:50] <Kohai_UT> I'm a newbie trying to install mythbuntu 9.04 beta.  When it gets to detecting hardware, my screen goes through several iterations of blank with red dots (messed up video) to a stop watch cursor icon.  then it hangs at a blank messed up screen.
[02:51] <Kohai_UT> It seems like it was trying to test video resolution support since sometimes the stop watch cursor icon looked stretched.  The machine is running, just seems like my video is out of whack.
[02:51] <Kohai_UT> Chipset is nvidia and I tried to isntall with both the nvidia driver and the open source driver option with the same results. Any ideas?
[02:57] <darthanubis> Kohai_UT, newbie and beta do not mix, why?
[02:57] <darthanubis> how much "testing" can a newbie perform anyway?
[02:58] <darthanubis> you should be using 8.10 which is STABLE
[03:00] <Kohai_UT> I should say I'm a newbie to mythtv, but not to linux.  I'm interested in features that are coming in .22 and may dable with some of the features in development.
[03:00] <Kohai_UT> I seem to be testing the install so far!
[03:15] <Kohai_UT> It looks like if I wait long enough (5+ min), it starts the rotating again.
[03:36] <Kohai_UT> I'll submit it as a bug against 9.04 beta.
[03:36] <Kohai_UT> Thanks, good night all

[05:08] <Stemming78> Problems with MYSQL - unable to get BACKEND running....
[05:09] <Stemming78> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/ffe827b2
[05:10] <Stemming78> Ran:    1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0      2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database       3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
[05:13] <Stemming78> anyone online that can answer this?  Unsure as to WHY a fresh installation has problems getting MYSQL to install properly
[05:15] <Stemming78> bump
[05:17] <Stemming78> PLEASE help...  Dont want to do another install!!!
[05:20] <Stemming78> I think this may be the problem (Step 1 - left blank for password)
[05:20] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, what are you doing different from the normal install?
[05:20] <Stemming78> mythbox@mythbox-backend:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
[05:20] <Stemming78> Failed to connect to database (incorrect admin password)
[05:20] <Stemming78> Failed to create or modify database (incorrect admin username/password?)
[05:21] <Stemming78> Nothing...   FRESH installation and at Mythtv Setup - getting no unod found, then cannot login to database...   4th time installing software
[05:22] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, a blank password __will__ work but is not suggested for security reasons, my first question is,  is the frontend on the same machine as the backend?
[05:22] <Stemming78> What I changed on my box - 1. added a 2cond drive to run OS from   2. Another PVR 500 card (now have 2).    3.  New Motherboard w/ AMD processor
[05:22] <Stemming78> Previous box worked fine after installation....
[05:22] <Stemming78> Yes, this is a Frontend and Backend machine
[05:23] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, which release are you using? (8.10?)
[05:25] <Stemming78> Installed 8.10 and it crapped out (same problem) so I tried the 9.04 v6.2 beta
[05:25] <Stemming78> On 9.04 now -   much faster install as there is NO LONGER a graphical interface for 8.10 -  installs like 6.10
[05:27] <Stemming78> *cannot use the mouse for 8.10 with MUCH more settings to input
[05:29] <Stemming78> foxbuntu: just tried again to set the passwords/ip address (this time with a password)...  getting same error message Failed to connect to database (incorrect admin password)
[05:30] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, ah...leave the IP alone
[05:30] <Stemming78> I did...  Only this time set a MSQ root password
[05:30] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, on a Primary Master Backend (until you add remote frontends) the IP needs to be set to 127.0.0.1 in both IP fields
[05:31] <Stemming78> I have a remote frontend - just turned off atm
[05:31] <Stemming78> will try again...
[05:32] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, ok then if you have a remote frontend, did you enable the MythTV service during the install?
[05:32] <Stemming78> yes
[05:34] <Stemming78> OK,  now it is working.....  set the IP address to 127.0.0.1 and selected "NO" to remote frontend
[05:35] <Stemming78> Now, is there a setting in MCC that can be selected for Remote Frontend to work without having to change this again?
[05:35] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, are you using the root username and password in MythTV Backend Setup?
[05:36] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, for MySQL yes, but you will need to change the backend settings to allow frontends
[05:36] <Stemming78> no....   root is ///*** and mysql is *****12
[05:37] <Stemming78> explain
[05:37] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, what?
[05:37] <Stemming78> to get remote frontend to work
[05:37] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, in the MythTV setup where you are getting the error, what username are you using?
[05:38] <Stemming78> not sure...  it is working now though...  would have to have to go back and it fails agian
[05:39] <foxbuntu> if it fails when you go in, then its not working, its still configured wrong
[05:39] <Stemming78> ok, so go back in (  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database ) and allow for remote frontend?
[05:40] <foxbuntu> no
[05:40] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, why are you trying to do things with dpkg-reconfigure to set the passwords?
[05:41] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, at this point you _have_ deviated from a normal installation
[05:41] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, not that we cant make that work...but I want you to understand where you are at
[05:41] <Stemming78> These are the steps I found to fix issue I was having (unable to login to database:  MYSQL)     1.  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0     2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database   3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common
[05:42] <Stemming78> I realize that....  but fresh outof the box it wouldnt work
[05:42] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, thats a method to reset the mysql root user password and then reset the backend databased and apply those changes to mythtv-common
[05:42] <Stemming78> ok...  so what now?
[05:43] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, run: mythtv-setup
[05:44] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, actually, have you setup a static IP, or setup DHCP reservations on your network for your master backend?
[05:45] <Stemming78> Router has 192.168.1.101 set static for master backend
[05:45] <Stemming78> nothing set on the machine
[05:45] <Stemming78> *static
[05:45] <foxbuntu> ok
[05:46] <foxbuntu> then in mythtv-setup, General > set the IPs to that IP
[05:46] <foxbuntu> well before we do that...lets enable remote frontends
[05:46] <foxbuntu> open up MCC
[05:47] <Stemming78> k...  switching between screens so there will be a delay -   2 computers connected to the TV\
[05:48] <Stemming78> at MCC
[05:48] <foxbuntu> np
[05:48] <Stemming78> enable MYSQL Services?
[05:49] <foxbuntu> yes
[05:49] <foxbuntu> then click apply
[05:51] <Stemming78> OK - finished install...  Mythtv Setup now runnning ...   change both local and master IPs to 192.168.1.101
[05:51] <Stemming78> * two fields
[05:51] <foxbuntu> yes
[05:53] <Stemming78> ok - 1. General is setup.....
[05:53] <Stemming78> Complete the other settings I suppost
[05:53] <Stemming78> *suppose
[05:53] <foxbuntu> yes
[05:54] <Stemming78> What do I use for the WinTV PVR500?  analog?
[05:55] <Stemming78> that is new to me...
[05:55] <foxbuntu> no, IVTV
[05:56] <foxbuntu> or its PVR-xxx or something similar
[05:56] <foxbuntu> not Analog V4L device
[05:57] <Stemming78> This is NEW settings from before...   with IVTV -   getting dev/video0,1,2   then jumps to dev/video24,25,26
[05:57] <Stemming78> PVR500 has 2 tuners...   Have 2 istalled
[05:58] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, you want, video0,1,2,3
[05:58] <Stemming78> I know....  dont have the 3 as an option
[05:58] <foxbuntu> try typing it in
[05:59] <foxbuntu> or from the terminal try: ls /dev/video*
[05:59] <foxbuntu> and see what exists
[06:00] <Stemming78> output:   http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m53c8645a
[06:00] <foxbuntu> so video3 is there
[06:00] <foxbuntu> just go ahead and type it into mythtv-setup then
[06:01] <Stemming78> put not an option in the IVTV
[06:01] <foxbuntu> what?
[06:01] <foxbuntu> for the video device you typed in: /dev/video3, correct?
[06:02] <Stemming78> typed it in and it reverted back to 0
[06:02] <Stemming78> ONCE setup that is....   Think the tuner may be of issue?
[06:03] <foxbuntu> what?
[06:03] <Stemming78> I can manage with 3 tuners....
[06:03] <foxbuntu> you tried to edit one that was already setup?
[06:04] <foxbuntu> you need to type it in when you are ADDING a new tuner
[06:04] <Stemming78> nm....  I got it.... oops
[06:04] <Stemming78> scrolled through a list
[06:04] <Stemming78> sorry fior the confusion
[06:05] <foxbuntu> ok
[06:13] <Stemming78> Ok....   Runnning Mythfilldatabase....

[06:14] <Stemming78> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m3e2cbbbf
[06:15] <Stemming78> Do I need to cmodify exports?
[06:15] <foxbuntu> Stemming78, the filesystem should be smbfs
[06:15] <Stemming78> ?
[06:16] <Stemming78> not cifs
[06:16] <foxbuntu> cifs in your fstab needs changed to smbfs

[06:25] <Stemming78> BTW, I know you are in the building business...  How is the company going?
[06:26] <Stemming78> Also, should mention there is a new way to network if you havent already heard about them -  Power Over Ethernet.

[12:51] <mnabil> guys , how can i preconfigure ubuntu deb package with know user name and password for mysql  ,or how can i do this in the preseed file
[14:54] <MythbuntuGuest72> morning
[14:55] <MythbuntuGuest72> I am having trouble setting up my remote.  I am using a homebrew serial receiver.
[14:55] <MythbuntuGuest72> IT was working in mythbuntu just fine until last night
[14:56] <MythbuntuGuest72> I was pluging somthing into a different serial port and had to set uart to 16550A
[14:57] <MythbuntuGuest72> once that was done, lirc stopped working.  I reset all serial ports back to uart none, but no joy
[14:58] <MythbuntuGuest72> Lirc starts and when running irw or irrecord, i can see them attaching to lircd
[14:59] <MythbuntuGuest72> but irw does nothing on button press and irrecord bails after 10 seconds of not seeing button presses (but they are being pressed)
[15:00] <MythbuntuGuest72> im pulling my hair out, I have followed http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Serial_Lirc_Install with no sucess
[15:00] <MythbuntuGuest72> helpers?

[18:25] <Guest83135> Hi! I'm a Fedora user sorry... anyway as I can't find any #Fedora-mythtv channel I'm posting here...
[18:27] <rhpot1991> Guest83135: you'd be better off in #mythtv-users
[18:27] <Guest83135>  I have a problem, I created a channels.conf file using the  scan utility... when I try to import it into mythtv (0.21) it crashes the application... any suggestion?
[18:27] <Guest83135> rhport1991: ok, thanks...
[22:46] <bmsleight> Hi, I have been running my myth machine for a about three years. Time for a hardware upgrade. I am thinking of 3 of (Hauppauge Nova-T 500 dual digital TV tuner) - giving 6 unique feeds. To give extra flexibility or even more cards.   So the question is how many tuner cards is silly ?
