[00:22] <root> hi
[00:23] <root> hi
[00:23] <root> can anyone help me with mythubuntu?
[00:24] <Guest81072> hi
[00:24] <Guest81072> can anyone help with mythubuntu?
[00:27] <Guest81072> hello?
[00:32] <tgm4883> !ask Guest81072
[00:32] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about ask Guest81072
[00:32] <tgm4883> !ask | Guest81072
[00:32] <Zinn> Guest81072: 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.
[00:35] <Guest81072> so ive added mythubuntu to ubuntu 8.10 and it gets no upnp backends found. how can i fix that?
[00:35] <tgm4883> what did you install on ubuntu 8.10?
[00:36] <Guest81072> mythubuntu
[00:36] <tgm4883> how did you install it though?
[00:36] <tgm4883> from the iso, synaptic, apt-get?
[00:36] <Guest81072> on the main page, it has an add option
[00:36] <Guest81072> it would be synaptic
[00:37] <tgm4883> are you saying you used this  http://mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu
[00:38] <tgm4883> or you just selected packages to install from synaptic?
[00:38] <Guest81072> the link you given
[00:38] <Guest81072> ive clicked on the mythubuntu logo
[00:39] <tgm4883> ok, so you installed mythbuntu-desktop
[00:39] <tgm4883> do you have a mythtv backend anywhere on your network?
[00:40] <tgm4883> or is this a single machine setup?
[00:40] <Guest81072> can you tell me what is mythtv backend? im a little noob for this sorry
[00:40] <tgm4883> ok, so mythtv is built as a client/server model
[00:40] <Guest81072> yes
[00:41] <tgm4883> where the client is used to watch shows, and the server is used for things like recording shows
[00:41] <tgm4883> so it would seem you don't have a backend setup (the server portion)
[00:41] <tgm4883> so open up mythbuntu control centre, and tell it to install the backend (if you want this all on the same machine)
[00:41] <tgm4883> then you will need to run mythtv-setup and set the backend up
[00:41] <Guest81072> okay
[00:42] <tgm4883> read this http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual  it should help you along the way
[00:42] <Guest81072> how can i run the mythtv-setup? simply run the application?
[00:42] <Guest81072> thanks
[00:42] <Guest81072> i see now the setup
[00:43] <Guest81072> after it downloaded the backends
[00:43] <Guest81072> ok, next problem :)
[00:43] <tgm4883> right, after it downloads and installs the backend, you can run mythtv-setup
[00:44] <Guest81072> running the setup, the screen is glitchy, messed up, and i cannot read a thing on it
[00:44] <tgm4883> ati card?
[00:44] <Guest81072> yes :)
[00:45] <tgm4883> are you updated?
[00:45] <Guest81072> in ubuntu ive allowed the restricted hardware and it downloaded the driver
[00:45] <Guest81072> i hope its the latest
[00:45] <tgm4883> sec
[00:49] <tgm4883> Guest81072, what is your screen resolution?
[00:50] <Guest81072> 1366x768
[00:51] <tgm4883> ok, try adding "export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=True" to /etc/mythtv/session-settings
[00:52] <Guest81072> done :) ive been reading forums, and i added this. the application will start normaly, but this setup wont
[00:52] <tgm4883> have you rebooted since adding that?
[00:52] <Guest81072> nope
[00:53] <Guest81072> should i try?
[00:54] <tgm4883> perhaps
[00:54] <tgm4883> i'd try it
[00:54] <Guest81072> okay, be back in a second
[00:58] <Guest84888> hi, im back
[00:58] <Guest84888> its the same :(
[00:58] <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] <tgm4883> hmm
[00:59] <tgm4883> Guest84888, maybe try doing "mythtv-setup --geometry 1266x767"
[01:00] <Guest84888> in the session-settings?
[01:00] <tgm4883> no
[01:00] <tgm4883> from the command line
[01:00] <Guest84888> okay
[01:00] <tgm4883> and make that 1366x767
[01:01] <Guest84888> same :(
[01:02] <Guest84888> could it be that my video card is not compatible with this application?
[01:08] <Guest84888> also, when i launch mythtv i can see the screen, but not the mouse
[01:08] <tgm4883> which ati card?
[01:08] <tgm4883> yea, I think thats by design
[01:09] <Guest84888> i have an ati mobility radeon hd 3470
[01:15] <tgm4883> hmm
[01:16] <tgm4883> Guest84888, not sure, maybe try the open source drivers would be my next guess
[01:16] <tgm4883> i've never had particular luck with ati cards
[01:16] <Guest84888> is this setup part of mythtv has own session-settings file?
[01:17] <Guest84888> so i can insert this always indirect command there too
[01:17] <tgm4883> well that is a system wide change we made
[01:17] <tgm4883> its an environment variable
[01:18] <Guest84888> i see :(
[01:20] <Guest84888> well anyways, thanks for all the help
[01:21] <Guest84888> i will try something
[01:22] <Guest84888> bye
[02:47] <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"?
[02:48] <josh__> I can't find a basic lirc guide for ubuntu
[03:40] <dschlenk> anyone out there want to help me with a xvmc issue?
[03:43] <dschlenk> nm then
[03:44] <wombo> If you had of waited someone might have helped you.......
[05:09] <darthanubis> Where is the setting to tell mythtv to leave x amount of drivespace?
[05:16] <darthanubis> Global Auto Expire Settings
[05:19] <darthanubis> nvrmnd
[11:02] <croppa> my  mythtv box has been working perfectly up till tonight
[11:03] <croppa> now it will not record anything
[11:03] <croppa> I am at a loss to know where to start looking
[11:04] <croppa> I cannot schedual (?) a recording either
[11:04] <croppa> however all the old recordings are there to watch
[11:38] <croppa> Also if i press R during live tv it will record
[18:59] <id1402> hallo.
[22:10] <schlazor> my MBE is currently 8.04. is there a good reason to upgrade it to 8.10?
[22:16] <tgm4883> schlazor, um, no?
[22:16] <tgm4883> are you happy with what you have?
[22:16] <schlazor> no
[22:17] <schlazor> i have the distinct pleasure of owning an ir blaster from iguanaworks
[22:17] <schlazor> and it doesnt really work
[22:17] <tgm4883> ah
[22:17] <schlazor> despite lots of attempts
[22:17] <schlazor> figured maybe 8.10 would help
[22:17] <tgm4883> well i'm not sure about that device
[22:17] <schlazor> since it appears that their precompiled debs are for 8.10
[22:17] <schlazor> just wondered if there were other good reasons
[22:18]  * tgm4883 shrugs
[22:18] <tgm4883> more mythexport features
[22:18] <schlazor> i'm also having issues with xvmc but who isnt
[22:19] <schlazor> module seems to load but it doesn't seem to do anything
[22:23] <schlazor> well anyway i think i'll give it a go. you know, right before 9.4 is out :)
[23:54] <pfein> anyone using myth as music player?  I don't really watch video...
