ZinnGuest81072: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.00:32
Guest81072so ive added mythubuntu to ubuntu 8.10 and it gets no upnp backends found. how can i fix that?00:35
tgm4883what did you install on ubuntu 8.10?00:35
Guest81072mythubuntu00:36
tgm4883how did you install it though?00:36
tgm4883from the iso, synaptic, apt-get?00:36
Guest81072on the main page, it has an add option00:36
Guest81072it would be synaptic00:36
tgm4883are you saying you used this  http://mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu00:37
tgm4883or you just selected packages to install from synaptic?00:38
Guest81072the link you given00:38
Guest81072ive clicked on the mythubuntu logo00:38
tgm4883ok, so you installed mythbuntu-desktop00:39
tgm4883do you have a mythtv backend anywhere on your network?00:39
tgm4883or is this a single machine setup?00:40
Guest81072can you tell me what is mythtv backend? im a little noob for this sorry00:40
tgm4883ok, so mythtv is built as a client/server model00:40
Guest81072yes00:40
tgm4883where the client is used to watch shows, and the server is used for things like recording shows00:41
tgm4883so it would seem you don't have a backend setup (the server portion)00:41
tgm4883so open up mythbuntu control centre, and tell it to install the backend (if you want this all on the same machine)00:41
tgm4883then you will need to run mythtv-setup and set the backend up00:41
Guest81072okay00:41
tgm4883read this http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual  it should help you along the way00:42
Guest81072how can i run the mythtv-setup? simply run the application?00:42
Guest81072thanks00:42
Guest81072i see now the setup00:42
Guest81072after it downloaded the backends00:43
Guest81072ok, next problem :)00:43
tgm4883right, after it downloads and installs the backend, you can run mythtv-setup00:43
Guest81072running the setup, the screen is glitchy, messed up, and i cannot read a thing on it00:44
tgm4883ati card?00:44
Guest81072yes :)00:44
tgm4883are you updated?00:45
Guest81072in ubuntu ive allowed the restricted hardware and it downloaded the driver00:45
Guest81072i hope its the latest00:45
tgm4883sec00:45
tgm4883Guest81072, what is your screen resolution?00:49
Guest810721366x76800:50
tgm4883ok, try adding "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=True" to /etc/mythtv/session-settings00:51
Guest81072done :) ive been reading forums, and i added this. the application will start normaly, but this setup wont00:52
tgm4883have you rebooted since adding that?00:52
Guest81072nope00:52
Guest81072should i try?00:53

josh__I'm migrating my heavily modified lircd.conf and lircrc from gentoo to ubuntu. I have a MCE USB tuner with a Comcast Custom 3 remote, and two blasters controlling a Samsung LCD TV and a Aiwa surround reciever. What's the best way of using my exisitng lircd.conf and lircrc and making them "stick"?00:58
tgm4883hmm00:58
tgm4883Guest84888, maybe try doing "mythtv-setup --geometry 1266x767"00:59
Guest84888in the session-settings?01:00
tgm4883no01:00
tgm4883from the command line01:00
Guest84888okay01:00
tgm4883and make that 1366x76701:00
Guest84888same :(01:01
Guest84888could it be that my video card is not compatible with this application?01:02
Guest84888also, when i launch mythtv i can see the screen, but not the mouse01:08
tgm4883which ati card?01:08
tgm4883yea, I think thats by design01:08
Guest84888i have an ati mobility radeon hd 347001:09
tgm4883hmm01:15
tgm4883Guest84888, not sure, maybe try the open source drivers would be my next guess01:16
tgm4883i've never had particular luck with ati cards01:16
Guest84888is this setup part of mythtv has own session-settings file?01:16
Guest84888so i can insert this always indirect command there too01:17
tgm4883well that is a system wide change we made01:17
tgm4883its an environment variable01:17
Guest84888i see :(01:18
Guest84888well anyways, thanks for all the help01:20
Guest84888i will try something01:21
Guest84888bye01:22
