vance4cI have a working backend and several front end. I would like to have another frontend at a different location but the Internet connection is 4Mb/s and a bit laggy (it is a Motorola wireless canopy). I was thinking of a second backens and transferring files back on forth, Does anyone have suggestions?01:51
hadsMyth isn't designed for WAN links. I'm not sure what the best solution would be.02:33
vance4cAnd also what is the purpose of a secondary backend02:35
tgm4883vance4c, so you can have multiple backends02:53
MythbuntuGuest26Hi -- I installed a mythbuntu backend today and when I reboot all I get is a login and then the command line... any thoughts as to why?  It's a fresh install...04:13
MythbuntuGuest26How do you even start it from the command line?04:14
vance4cto start the backend mythbackend04:49
vance4c MythbuntuGuest26: did you do a check disk before you installed? It could be a bad burn or image and X died. Hit ctr+alt +F04:56
vance4cdid you check the disk before install it could be a bad burn or iso and X died04:59
MythbuntuGuest26Thanks vance4c.  Turns out it was because there were two video cards and it didn't know which one to use.05:48
squidlyhello07:14
squidlyi'm currently running ubuntu 8.10, I would like to add in the mythbuntu repos so I can get the udpated versions of mythtv from you all07:15
kabadsDuring the install, when should mysql have been populated with mythtv user, database etc? My system has booted after install with a clean mysql database (only root can access and mysql db exists)08:26
kabadsI think I got it08:36
kabadsmaybe I haven't - time to do something else for a bit.09:49

Baskaya hey guys I have a question for mythbuntu, before I install it on my media center. Can i play "IMG & ISO " files with mythbuntu? hope that someone  can help me13:19
hadsAssuming you mean of a DVD then yes.13:20
BaskayaYes when you have convateret a standard DVD on an IMG / ISO file, so mythbuntu should be able to play them ?13:23
wombo_yes it can13:37
wombo_It can also rip them for you from a DVD to the drive13:37
Baskayaoki. nice thx :)13:42
MythbuntuGuest68Hello I am trying to setup my skystar 2 dvb-s card, i cant get it to scan for channels - I have tried the scan terminal command but i get file not found (i think that the command is replaced by dvbscan) looking for freesat in the uk14:33
EvilGuruAre there any plans for alternate install disks for 9.04?15:21
tgm4883EvilGuru, NO15:22
tgm4883whoops15:22
tgm4883sorry about the caps lock15:22
EvilGurutgm4883: So what about users who want/require LVM, the current partitioner knows nothing of it15:23
EvilGuruwith the alternate one you got the more powerful debian-esq partitioner which is much nicer to work with15:23
tgm4883either use storage groups, or use the ubuntu alt disk and install a command line install15:24
EvilGuruIs there a terraforming guide for ubuntu => mythbuntu?15:24
tgm4883just do a command line install then install mythbuntu-desktop15:25
tgm4883might be something in15:25

Zinnhttp://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual15:26
EvilGuruas mythbuntu does a great job with stuff like lirc and firmwares15:26
EvilGuruwill mythbuntu-desktop carry all of that magic over with it?15:27
rhpot1991EvilGuru: to be honest LVM isn't needed now that we have storage groups15:28
tgm4883mythbuntu-desktop is a metapackage that pulls everything in15:28
EvilGururhpot1991: Thanks, but I like my lvm snapshots15:28
EvilGurustorage groups are just a hack for the most part15:29
rhpot1991additional storage without the headaches of a busted LVM, I like them15:30
EvilGurustorage for mythtv, if you wish to store other stuff *and* back it up nothing can compete with LVM15:31
rhpot1991EvilGuru: its recommended to keep your recordings seperate from everything else anyways, but yes LVM is better if you are doing something !mythtv15:33
JEDIDIAH__any ubuntu should do fine with lirc and ivtv and such.18:43
EvilGuruOkay, I've got mythbunut-desktop installed. How can I remove GNOME and openoffice etc (so uneeded stuff)?18:50
DavideHi, I just installed Mythbuntu 8.10, and I can't seem to have sound.  I don't have sound either in mythtv nor in any part of the system, ie when I browse onto youtube, I get no sound in the videos.  I checked alsamixer, and upped all the volumes and unmuted whatever was muted, any ideas?19:05
DavideIs there a way to check if the drivers are properly installed? I am new to linux19:06
tgm4883EvilGuru, you shouldn't have gnome and such installed if you installed a command line system19:06
EvilGurutgm4883: I was probably on autopilot when I did the install19:08
tgm4883at the boot menu in the alt disk, there should be a selection to do a command line install19:09
tgm4883alternatively, you could try uninstalling ubuntu-desktop then doing apt-get autoremove19:09
tgm4883but i'm not sure if that will work19:09
DavideI'm currently running the "Update Manager" to see if that takes care of anything  updating everything that was available19:11
EvilGurutgm4883: I'll see what it wants to get rid of19:21
administrator_hi I found the new .deb file for weekly updates at the website, but there seems to be no repository for jaunty amd64 and -fixes, what can I do?19:28
superm1administrator_, try to do dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-weekly20:48
superm1and pick another mirror20:48
superm1it's possible the mirror is just not working20:48
superm1PPA is the most likely to work20:48
administrator_ah thx il try it21:18
administrator_works! thx21:20
superm1administrator_, which mirror were you on that was broke?21:35
=== croppa_ is now known as croppa
administrator_I think it was UK22:01
administrator_the problem is: I still cannot run mythtv-setup. The whole menu is still black with a white rectangle in the middle. Maybe it is driver related? I use a 1650 Pro on jaunty mythbuntu 64bit, xserver-xorg-video-ati, and xserver-xorg-video-radeon are installed.22:07
superm1administrator_, there is a bug with this yes22:09
superm1you need to turn off DRI or use fglrx22:09
superm1bug 34189822:09
ZinnBug 341898 in mythtv "Mythtv frontend does not display any fonts" [Unknown, Invalid] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/34189822:10
EvilGuruHow can I get mythtv-backend to start a boot?22:42
administrator_superm1, thanks, what would be the best way to install fglrx? just unmark the radeon driver and mark fglrx in synaptic?23:52
superm1administrator_, no23:53
superm1administrator_, use the hardware drivers tool23:53
administrator_it doesnt offer me fglrx, all I can do is deactivate the mantis driver I installed for my skystar hd223:57
superm1administrator_, if it's not offering it, check that you have fglrx-modaliases installed23:58
superm1and if you do, then make sure you do an apt update and try once more23:58
