[01:47] ve got a HVR-1800 and im just not able to get it to either tune OTA via an antenna or cable channels when i hook up the antenna, has anyone gotten one of these to work and has step by step instructions? cause im ready to call it quits with this [01:51] I 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? [02:33] Myth isn't designed for WAN links. I'm not sure what the best solution would be. [02:35] And also what is the purpose of a secondary backend [02:53] vance4c, so you can have multiple backends [04:13] Hi -- 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... [04:14] How do you even start it from the command line? [04:49] to start the backend mythbackend [04:56] MythbuntuGuest26: did you do a check disk before you installed? It could be a bad burn or image and X died. Hit ctr+alt +F [04:59] did you check the disk before install it could be a bad burn or iso and X died [05:48] Thanks vance4c. Turns out it was because there were two video cards and it didn't know which one to use. [07:14] hello [07:15] i'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 all [08:26] During 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) [08:36] I think I got it [09:49] maybe I haven't - time to do something else for a bit. [12:45] mythexport issues again [12:45] daemon 21111 errors [12:45] the jobs go to queue but nothing else [12:46] FAILED at line 555 in /usr/bin/mythexport-daemon [12:47] mv: cannot stat `/home/anubis/mythrecs/mythexport/*temp*': No such file or directory [12:47] rhpot1991, ? [13:19] 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 me [13:20] Assuming you mean of a DVD then yes. [13:23] Yes when you have convateret a standard DVD on an IMG / ISO file, so mythbuntu should be able to play them ? [13:37] yes it can [13:37] It can also rip them for you from a DVD to the drive [13:42] oki. nice thx :) [14:33] Hello 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 uk [15:21] Are there any plans for alternate install disks for 9.04? [15:22] EvilGuru, NO [15:22] whoops [15:22] sorry about the caps lock [15:23] tgm4883: So what about users who want/require LVM, the current partitioner knows nothing of it [15:23] with the alternate one you got the more powerful debian-esq partitioner which is much nicer to work with [15:24] either use storage groups, or use the ubuntu alt disk and install a command line install [15:24] Is there a terraforming guide for ubuntu => mythbuntu? [15:25] just do a command line install then install mythbuntu-desktop [15:25] might be something in [15:25] !install% [15:25] Sorry I don't know about install% [15:25] !guide% [15:25] Sorry I don't know about guide% [15:25] bah [15:25] !help [15:25] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [15:26] !manual [15:26] http://mythbuntu.org/installation_manual [15:26] as mythbuntu does a great job with stuff like lirc and firmwares [15:27] will mythbuntu-desktop carry all of that magic over with it? [15:28] EvilGuru: to be honest LVM isn't needed now that we have storage groups [15:28] mythbuntu-desktop is a metapackage that pulls everything in [15:28] rhpot1991: Thanks, but I like my lvm snapshots [15:29] storage groups are just a hack for the most part [15:30] additional storage without the headaches of a busted LVM, I like them [15:31] storage for mythtv, if you wish to store other stuff *and* back it up nothing can compete with LVM [15:33] EvilGuru: its recommended to keep your recordings seperate from everything else anyways, but yes LVM is better if you are doing something !mythtv [18:43] any ubuntu should do fine with lirc and ivtv and such. [18:50] Okay, I've got mythbunut-desktop installed. How can I remove GNOME and openoffice etc (so uneeded stuff)? [19:05] Hi, 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? [19:06] Is there a way to check if the drivers are properly installed? I am new to linux [19:06] EvilGuru, you shouldn't have gnome and such installed if you installed a command line system [19:08] tgm4883: I was probably on autopilot when I did the install [19:09] at the boot menu in the alt disk, there should be a selection to do a command line install [19:09] alternatively, you could try uninstalling ubuntu-desktop then doing apt-get autoremove [19:09] but i'm not sure if that will work [19:11] I'm currently running the "Update Manager" to see if that takes care of anything updating everything that was available [19:21] tgm4883: I'll see what it wants to get rid of [19:28] 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? [20:48] administrator_, try to do dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-weekly [20:48] and pick another mirror [20:48] it's possible the mirror is just not working [20:48] PPA is the most likely to work [21:18] ah thx il try it [21:20] works! thx [21:35] administrator_, which mirror were you on that was broke? === croppa_ is now known as croppa [22:01] I think it was UK [22:07] 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. [22:09] administrator_, there is a bug with this yes [22:09] you need to turn off DRI or use fglrx [22:09] bug 341898 [22:10] Bug 341898 in mythtv "Mythtv frontend does not display any fonts" [Unknown, Invalid] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/341898 [22:42] How can I get mythtv-backend to start a boot? [23:52] superm1, thanks, what would be the best way to install fglrx? just unmark the radeon driver and mark fglrx in synaptic? [23:53] administrator_, no [23:53] administrator_, use the hardware drivers tool [23:57] it doesnt offer me fglrx, all I can do is deactivate the mantis driver I installed for my skystar hd2 [23:58] administrator_, if it's not offering it, check that you have fglrx-modaliases installed [23:58] and if you do, then make sure you do an apt update and try once more
