| Staticwave_Ace | good question, documentation would be really nice | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Lossif | is it just an official repository? and I have to get it? | 00:26 |
| Lossif | if so... umm... how? | 00:26 |
| Staticwave_Ace | sudo apt-get install mythnettv | 00:27 |
| squish103 | does mythtv 9.04 allow you to install on some kind of lvm? | 02:33 |
| squish103 | opps mythbuntu | 02:33 |
| Staticwave_Ace | http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem | 02:34 |
| Staticwave_Ace | it's not built-in, but it's not hard to do it yourself | 02:34 |
| Staticwave_Ace | (that's obviously a generic ubuntu howto_ | 02:34 |
| Staticwave_Ace | and, yes, it works, I did it | 02:34 |
| squish103 | ok thanks Staticwave_Ace | 02:35 |
| squish103 | i just screwed up a perfectly working 8.10 that was on lvm2 jfs | 02:35 |
| Staticwave_Ace | how'd that happen? | 02:36 |
| squish103 | and now have no way to get back my lvm's as it drops me to a shell without booting :( | 02:36 |
| Staticwave_Ace | squish103: systemrescuecd | 02:36 |
| squish103 | i just clicked upgrade | 02:36 |
| squish103 | boot with the CD 9.04 and do a system rescue? | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | well that | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | or use systemrescuecd | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | it's a distro for rescuing systems | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | an ubuntu livecd could help | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | though I usually do repairs via commandline | 02:37 |
| squish103 | ok i'll go try find it... when it comes to lvm's... if i don't have a how-to i have no clue... it is alittle above e | 02:37 |
| Staticwave_Ace | hopefully they're still there | 02:38 |
| Staticwave_Ace | you'll need to apt-get install lvm2 on the livecd after booting | 02:38 |
| Staticwave_Ace | to do anything useful | 02:38 |
| squish103 | yes i did that and then i did a pvscan and lvscan or something, and i could see them listed | 02:38 |
| squish103 | so i guess i somehow have to get them mounted and lvm2 installed in there... actually i have no idea what to do :( | 02:39 |
| Staticwave_Ace | chroot | 02:39 |
| squish103 | ok so something along the lines of | 02:39 |
| squish103 | boot livecd | 02:40 |
| squish103 | apt-get install lvm2 | 02:40 |
| squish103 | mkdir /mnt/oldroot | 02:40 |
| squish103 | mount it | 02:40 |
| squish103 | then chroot into it | 02:40 |
| squish103 | then apt-get install lvm2 again | 02:40 |
| Staticwave_Ace | yup | 02:41 |
| Staticwave_Ace | hopefully | 02:41 |
| squish103 | and try figure it out from there | 02:41 |
| Staticwave_Ace | oh | 02:41 |
| Staticwave_Ace | you need to mount your /boot inside /mnt/oldroot | 02:41 |
| Staticwave_Ace | since lvm2 will want to regen your initramfs | 02:41 |
| Staticwave_Ace | which is very important | 02:41 |
| squish103 | ok, and i probably have to initr... | 02:41 |
| squish103 | ok thanks for the help | 02:42 |
| squish103 | next time i am only going to use supported fs's out of the box | 02:42 |
| Staticwave_Ace | ext4 :) | 02:42 |
| squish103 | although lvm2 with jfs has worked quite nicely | 02:43 |
| Technophil | Hi, I have run up 9.04, I find on re-booting the mythbuntu logo displays, the traveler completes then the screen turns off.... | 02:57 |
| Technophil | Can anyone suggest what I need to do from here? | 02:58 |
| Technophil | Box is a 3G Pentum Dup, NVIDIA 8500, 500T Tuner card | 02:59 |
| Technophil | I can ssh in and top says not much happening | 03:16 |
| superm1 | henrik_, what's up with the latest weekly and pulse? | 04:03 |
| superm1 | i know upstream made some changes to pulse support. what do we need to do to comply? | 04:03 |
| superm1 | i thought just building without pulseaudio as a build depends was actually sufficient as the code checking for running pulseaudio wont do anything | 04:04 |
| Technophil | OK if it helps anyone the problem seemed to be that I selected NVIDIA component on the setup display, I think this does not configure properly and that was where the display was being sent! Reinstalling using the default NVIDIA and no TV out installed as expected. | 04:34 |
| Technophil | I also report the previous About Menu Item has somehow now got to do with xubuntu, which seems an error that somehow slipped in to the latest build... | 04:36 |
| henrik_ | superm1: this is what I get when I try to run the frontend, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1137410 | 05:08 |
| superm1 | henrik_, ah i see. so it sounds like we need to add a new conf flag to our build then | 05:47 |
| superm1 | <sigh> | 05:47 |
| wolf_ | Hi, is having the bottum and top panels not dissapear when openeing mythbuntu a common issue in 9.04? | 05:52 |
| superm1 | wolf_, it is on gnome (which doesnt ship with mythbuntu by default) | 05:54 |
| superm1 | generally turning off compiz can take care of it | 05:55 |
| superm1 | henrik_, it looks like it should likely just be a two line diff and rebuild to fix the pulse thing | 05:56 |
| superm1 | henrik_, but there is a big worry i have - it might ADD a dependency on pulseaudio | 05:57 |
| superm1 | which I *really* don't want... | 05:57 |
| hads | Yeah, that changeset looked like it needed the headers to compile against. | 05:59 |
| superm1 | well build dependency is fine, but if it has to link to something in pulse audio | 05:59 |
| hads | Kinda funny depending on pulse to get rid of it :) | 06:00 |
| superm1 | and require you to have it installed on the resultant system.. | 06:00 |
| superm1 | but i'm thinking it might just add a dependency on libpulse0 rather than pulseaudio itself | 06:00 |
| hads | Yeah | 06:00 |
| wolf_ | disabling compiz is kind of a big deal is there no other work around? | 06:10 |
| henrik_ | superm1: perfect, I know it's not ideal, one other solution could be to remove pulseaudio compleatly from this project. | 06:11 |
| henrik_ | However I'm not sure if that would be appriciated by Ubuntu. | 06:11 |
| hads | wolf_: Figure out what causes mythtv and compiz to not like each other and patch it is the alternative. | 06:25 |
| wolf_ | hads, problem never happened in 8.10 so it must be a change in mythbuntu. | 06:26 |
| ludmilmm | hi. just installed 9.04. fresh install. i have put a video file, and then in video settings i want to apply the metadata. when i open the video setup, it opens a box asking for imdb#, but i can not enter there anything, neither with the remote, nor with the keyboard. any idea whats wrong and how to deal with it? | 06:45 |
| Brondoman | Has anyone successfully used a Kworld 330U (dual ATSC and Analog) USB tuner? The em28xx driver works (from the mercurial repository) for analog but not digital. | 08:05 |
| foxbuntu | Brondoman, have you checked the mythtv wiki for what is or isnt supported yet with that card? | 08:28 |
| Brondoman | Yup. that's how I found out to try the one in the repository. Chased down a few mailing list posts after that and they listed a patch that should have been in the repository but it wasn't (or I pulled the wrong tag). | 08:32 |
| foxbuntu | Brondoman, are you trying to tune to clear QAM in the US by chance? | 08:33 |
| foxbuntu | on the digital side | 08:34 |
| Brondoman | nope. DVB-T in the US | 08:36 |
| foxbuntu | so, OTA ATSC then? | 08:37 |
| Guest26013 | Hi anybody want to help with me getting a lightblue screen for the menus, and a dark blue for video.. http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f55c88906 | 08:47 |
| Guest26013 | ALso is since upgrading to Jaunty today (It was fine beforehand) | 08:48 |
| === Guest26013 is now known as Slavox | ||
| foxbuntu` | Brondoman, sorry about that, power went out for a moment, still trying to get everything back online | 08:54 |
| === foxbuntu` is now known as foxbuntu | ||
| * hads hands foxbuntu a UPS | 09:07 | |
| foxbuntu | hads, great..thanks that helps now the that power is back on | 09:07 |
| foxbuntu | ;) | 09:07 |
| foxbuntu | h a d s = helpful and delightful servant right? | 09:09 |
| foxbuntu | hads, ^ | 09:12 |
| Brondoman | hehe | 09:12 |
| * foxbuntu really should get a UPS, and something to backup his data to :) | 09:14 | |
| hads | foxbuntu: And you were the one going on about hardware RAID, tsk tsk :) | 09:30 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I had RAID | 09:34 |
| foxbuntu | I need a backup solution | 09:34 |
| foxbuntu | heh | 09:34 |
| foxbuntu | hads, I have hardware RAID* | 09:34 |
| hads | I think I'd worry about backups and UPS before I worried about hardware vs software RAID :) | 09:35 |
| foxbuntu | hads, its on a real server, HP DL380 | 09:35 |
| foxbuntu | so hardware RAID is there | 09:35 |
| foxbuntu | should I not use it and use software RAID instead? | 09:35 |
| foxbuntu | :P | 09:35 |
| hads | Meh, real | 09:36 |
| hads | :) | 09:36 |
| foxbuntu | lmao | 09:38 |

| Slavox | Yeah I grief in TF2 sometimes (On the achivement servers) | 10:10 |

| tafkaz_73 | hm | 17:47 |
| tafkaz_73 | thats odd | 17:47 |
| BerryMarmalade2 | how can i do? | 17:48 |
| BerryMarmalade2 | i dont' know how the windows frontend can open the files, it's a samba problem' | 17:49 |
| BerryMarmalade2 | ? | 17:49 |
| tafkaz_73 | hm your frontend and your backend are different machines? | 17:52 |
| tafkaz_73 | is the network connection established? | 17:54 |
| tafkaz_73 | can you watch tv from the remote frontend? | 17:54 |
| tafkaz_73 | livetv i mean | 17:55 |
| BerryMarmalade2 | tafkaz_73: hi, i have a linux min backand and a windows frontend | 18:05 |

| BerryMarmalade2 | tafkaz_73: ok | 18:06 |
| mac9416 | Alright, I installed Mythtv on my Ubuntu box and typed "mythtv-setup" as I was instructed during installation. | 19:40 |
| mac9416 | I got a "cannot login to database" error. | 19:40 |
| mac9416 | Any ideas? | 19:41 |
| Shadow__X | mac9416, goto /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and try and login to mysql using that info | 19:43 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, You're everywhere! OK, will do. | 19:44 |
| Shadow__X | no i just try and help out in some areas i know alittle bit about | 19:44 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, And I thank you for it. OK I tried "mysql -u mythtv -p <Whatever it was> -h localhost" and got an access denied. | 19:49 |
| Shadow__X | dont use -h localhost just do mysql -u mythtv and -p<> | 19:50 |
| mac9416 | OK... | 19:50 |
| mac9416 | Second verse, same as the first I'm afraid. | 19:52 |
| mac9416 | It seemed to assume localhost anyway. | 19:52 |
| mac9416 | I can get into the mysql shell if I just drop all args. I don't know if that helps. | 19:55 |
| mac9416 | Well, I think I may just try Mythbuntu as soon a shipit is back up. | 20:05 |
| Shadow__X | why not dl it | 20:05 |
| mac9416 | I'm using Verizon broadband wirless. 5GB/month cap. It's been 7 days and I've already hit 1100Megs. :-D | 20:08 |
| mac9416 | Yeah, I hate to use Canonical's money, but things are difficult otherwise. | 20:08 |
| Shadow__X | mac9416, i think after you hit the cap they throttle you | 20:09 |
| mac9416 | Throttle? You mean charge extra? Or just slow me down. | 20:10 |
| Shadow__X | slow you down but dont quote me on that | 20:10 |
| mac9416 | OK, I'll check into that. Yeah, I could just time the download for the last few hours of the month. | 20:11 |
| mac9416 | Is there any other good tv-recording software I can use until I get Mythbuntu? | 20:15 |
| Shadow__X | the only one i used extensively is mythtv | 20:16 |
| Shadow__X | you should be able to easily setup ubuntu to use mythtv but other than that dont know | 20:16 |
| mac9416 | Well, I installed the debs, and mythtv-frontend appears in Applications, but during setup, it can't get into the datadase. | 20:18 |
| mac9416 | (Wow, I think I put in too many commas) :P | 20:19 |
| Shadow__X | wait did you install mythtv-backend and mysql | 20:20 |
| Shadow__X | and what debs are you talking about why didnt you use repos | 20:20 |
| mac9416 | Yeah I installed both. I used Keryx to download the debs because my Linux box has no Internet connection. I hate that, but it is what it is. | 20:21 |
| Shadow__X | keryx? | 20:22 |
| mac9416 | :P I'm so poor, I can't 'ford no internet connection. :P | 20:22 |
| Shadow__X | oh | 20:22 |
| mac9416 | Yeah, it gets dependencies for you. | 20:22 |
| Shadow__X | but you have the wireless | 20:22 |
| Shadow__X | thats not cheap | 20:22 |
| mac9416 | keryxproject.org | 20:22 |
| mac9416 | No, I'm just kidding about that. | 20:23 |
| mac9416 | I have wireless for the laptop, but none of the desktops. | 20:23 |
| mac9416 | Yeah, I think Mythbuntu will be the key. All the setup done for me. | 20:24 |
| mac9416 | I may just buy the CD if it comes to that. | 20:24 |
| Shadow__X | hmm i guess i mean its not like its hard to setup really | 20:26 |
| Shadow__X | go onto the ubuntu box and reconfigure mysql | 20:26 |
| mac9416 | I don't have any experience with mysql, I'm afraid, so I'm not sure how to go about that. | 20:27 |
| Shadow__X | alright h/o i am rebooting | 20:28 |
| Shadow__X | back | 20:35 |
| mac9416 | Yo. | 20:35 |
| Shadow__X | mac9416, go into synaptic find mysql server and right click it and choose reconfigure | 20:36 |
| mac9416 | OK... | 20:36 |
| mac9416 | Well, neither Synaptic nor dpkg-reconfigure believe that mysql is even installed. OK, I'll try installing it again. | 20:42 |
| mac9416 | What's the name of the package? 'mysql'? | 20:43 |
| mac9416 | I installed mysql-server. | 20:43 |
| mac9416 | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-mysql-server-5-on-ubuntu/ | 20:45 |
| mac9416 | Apparenly all I have to have is mysql-server. I'll reconfig that... | 20:45 |
| Shadow__X | yeah that could be why mythtv is yelling about mysql | 20:45 |
| Shadow__X | ;) | 20:45 |
| mac9416 | Haha, I think not. Apparently there is no 'mysql' package. It seems that 'mysql-server' does the job. Does your Synaptic have a 'mysql' package? | 21:00 |
| mac9416 | I tried right-clicking mysql-server to click reconfigure, but that option was not there. | 21:01 |
| Shadow__X | mark for reinstallation | 21:06 |
| Shadow__X | and do mysql-server not mysql | 21:06 |
| mac9416 | OK, will do. | 21:06 |
| mac9416 | Well, reinstallation didn't help. | 21:31 |
| Shadow__X | what did it do | 21:34 |
| Shadow__X | also try mysql -u root | 21:34 |
| Shadow__X | wait hold on you dont have internet on the myth box? | 21:34 |
| Shadow__X | what are you going to be using this for | 21:34 |
| mac9416 | Nope. Recording off a VHS. :P | 21:35 |
| mac9416 | It just went through the reinstallation process. No reconfiguration, no nothing. | 21:36 |
| Shadow__X | off vhs huh | 21:36 |
| Shadow__X | lol | 21:36 |
| mac9416 | Now, what am I trying to accomplish with 'mysql -u' etc. | 21:37 |
| Shadow__X | i dont know if mythtv is wright for that | 21:37 |
| mac9416 | Yeah, Indiana Jones. | 21:37 |
| Shadow__X | write* | 21:37 |
| mac9416 | *right? | 21:37 |
| Shadow__X | mysqpl -u root would be to log into the database from terminal | 21:37 |
| mac9416 | Well, I think I can already do that. | 21:37 |
| Shadow__X | yeah right* i guss i am off today | 21:37 |
| Shadow__X | hmm ok | 21:37 |
| mac9416 | If I just type 'mysql' I get "mysql>" | 21:38 |
| mac9416 | A prompt. | 21:38 |
| mac9416 | Well, it does ask my password. | 21:39 |
| mac9416 | But I just entered it. | 21:39 |
| Shadow__X | hmm | 21:40 |
| Shadow__X | alright now we can fix stuff | 21:40 |
| mac9416 | Cool | 21:40 |
| Shadow__X | you need to create the mythtv user | 21:42 |
| Shadow__X | from the mysql promt | 21:42 |
| Shadow__X | type this | 21:42 |
| Shadow__X | mysql> INSERT INTO user (Host,User,Password) VALUES('%','username',PASSWORD('password')); | 21:43 |
| mac9416 | It looks a bit scary. Could you assume some things (maybe replace them with "example")? | 21:45 |
| mac9416 | Or just break it down for me. | 21:45 |
| Shadow__X | sure insert that user into users so replace 'username' | 21:47 |
| Shadow__X | anbd replace 'password' | 21:47 |
| Shadow__X | also replace 'password' with the password mythtv will use to access its database | 21:48 |
| mac9416 | "mysql> INSERT INTO user (localhost,mac9416,pswd) VALUES('%','mac9416',PASSWORD('pswd'))" | 21:49 |
| mac9416 | Will that get it? | 21:49 |
| mac9416 | Or should I use user 'mythtv' and password 'llhv9' (or something like that)? | 21:50 |
| mac9416 | The stuff in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt. | 21:50 |
| Shadow__X | i would use mythtv and the pass that mysql.txt used just for documentation sake and to remember it | 21:51 |
| mac9416 | OK, then "mysql> INSERT INTO user (localhost,mythtv,llhv9) VALUES('%','mythtv',PASSWORD('llhv9'))" | 21:52 |
| mac9416 | Will that work? | 21:52 |
| mac9416 | It's a confusing line. | 21:52 |
| Shadow__X | i am not quite sure at the moment | 21:53 |
| mac9416 | OK, I'll give it a whirl... | 21:53 |
| Shadow__X | or | 21:53 |
| Shadow__X | Adding a Database User with Password | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | mysql> grant all privileges on [databasename].* to [dbusername]@localhost | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | identified by '[dbpassword]'; | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | Example: grant all privileges on mydatabase.* to joeuser@localhost | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | identified by 'supersecretpasswd'; | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | damn it i should of pastebined it | 21:54 |
| Zinn | Shadow__X: Please watch your language. | 21:54 |
| Shadow__X | ok | 21:54 |
| mac9416 | mysql> grant all privileges on mythtv.* to mythtv@localhost | 21:55 |
| mac9416 | ? | 21:55 |
| mac9416 | It looks good exept [databasename] which I'm not sure about. | 21:57 |
| Shadow__X | for this kind of stuff you can hop back in mythtv they know more about mysql commands than i do | 21:58 |
| Shadow__X | or | 21:58 |
| Shadow__X | you could look at mythtv.org that should have some mysql info | 21:58 |
| Shadow__X | http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html | 21:59 |
| hads | Yeah, mythtv isn't really the right thing to use to record off a VHS. | 22:30 |
| hads | And there is much easier ways to setup mythtv in Ubuntu. | 22:30 |
| hads | !database | 22:30 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about database | 22:30 |
| hads | !mysql | 22:30 |
| Zinn | If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common | 22:30 |
| BenB | 9.04 already ships with the broken mythfrondend which willfully and stupidly breaks pulseaudio? | 22:31 |
| hads | Don't think so. | 22:32 |
| BenB | ah, ok, good. | 22:32 |
| hads | If that was a question. | 22:32 |
| BenB | yes, it was | 22:32 |
| hads | :) | 22:32 |
| BenB | somebody just said that he ran into that problem after upgrading to 9.04. | 22:32 |
| hads | Putting question marks on the end of sentances makes them look funny? | 22:32 |
| hads | I hear it's slipped into the weekly build. | 22:33 |
| styelz | yes? | 22:33 |
| hads | But should be fixed soon enough | 22:33 |
| mac9416 | OK, got distracted there for a minute. I'll look at that howto, then try what Zinn suggested. | 22:34 |
| BenB | hads: yes, it 's a form of sarcastic irony and therefore can be considered funny, depending on viewpoint, but in my case, it was actually a question. | 22:36 |
| BenB | the "stupid" was a statement, the "ships" was a question,. | 22:36 |
| BenB | :-) | 22:36 |
| mac9416 | The HOWTO says: | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | cd database | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | mysql < mc.sql | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | I'm not sure where to cd database from. | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | So, I'll try what Zinn said. | 22:37 |
| superm1 | on ubuntu the database is built for you using mythtv-database and mythtv-common | 22:37 |
| superm1 | just follow !mysql | 22:37 |
| BenB | mac9416: the toturial means the source code directory. | 22:37 |
| mac9416 | Oh, so only if I compile it myself? | 22:38 |
| superm1 | BenB, there was a patch to -fixes that came after 9.04 that broke things | 22:38 |
| superm1 | BenB, it should be taken care of though in today's weekly build | 22:38 |
| superm1 | (wrg to pulse) | 22:38 |
| mac9416 | I haven't upgraded yet, so I'm good. | 22:38 |
| superm1 | well 9.04 itself is fine | 22:38 |
| superm1 | it's just if you use weekly builds | 22:38 |
| mac9416 | OK. | 22:39 |
| BenB | superm1: "taken care of" in the sense of undoing the patch? | 22:42 |
| BenB | for the record, pulse works fine here on (stock) ubuntu 8.04 with the mythtv packages. | 22:44 |
| Shadow__X | but also mac9416 mythtv isnt really for recording from vhs | 22:44 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, Zinn, ya'll rock. The reconfigurations worked and now I can get to the main Mythtv screen! Unfortunately, when I go to "Watch TV" and hit enter the screen just blinks and that's all. | 22:45 |
| Shadow__X | mac9416, did you setup a tuner | 22:45 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, well if it even just works a little, that will be good. | 22:45 |
| mac9416 | No, I don't know how. | 22:45 |
| Shadow__X | thats why live tv doesnt work | 22:46 |
| BenB | mac9416: follow the tutorial further. | 22:46 |
| mac9416 | Maybe ;-) | 22:46 |
| BenB | mac9416: it explains that | 22:46 |
| Shadow__X | yup | 22:46 |
| Shadow__X | like go get some tuners or do crazy firewire | 22:46 |
| mac9416 | Okee-dokee, thanks! Shadow__X has been with me, what 3 hours! Thanks a lot | 22:47 |
| mac9416 | ! | 22:47 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about | 22:47 |
| Shadow__X | yeah its cool we have all been there | 22:47 |
| Shadow__X | i am just glad i can help somewhat | 22:47 |
| mac9416 | Thanks to Zinn also | 22:47 |
| Shadow__X | zinn is a bot | 22:52 |
| Shadow__X | !help | 22:52 |
| Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 22:52 |
| Shadow__X | !status | 22:52 |
| Zinn | I am alive. | 22:52 |
| mac9416 | Dadgum, he had me fooled! Thanks hads! | 22:54 |
| mac9416 | !mysql | 22:54 |
| Zinn | If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common | 22:54 |
| mac9416 | :P | 22:54 |
| superm1 | BenB, no, it now depends on libpulse0 and can disable pulseaudio as necessary | 22:54 |
| BenB | superm1: will there be a user-friendly way to let mythtv *use* pulse (via native API or alsa emulation), as it was possible in 8.04? | 22:56 |
| hads | There's an environment variable you can set I think. | 22:56 |
| BenB | cause that worked fine here, and pulse is really cool. *esp* on the myth frontend, which has nice speakers, which I use for music form my other parts of the house, i.e. I *need* pulse. | 22:56 |
| superm1 | BenB, you'll need to ask in #mythtv about behaviors with it. i think you can still use alsa emulation with this latest patch | 22:57 |
| BenB | ok | 22:57 |
| superm1 | i've not actually experimented with it myself yet | 22:57 |
| superm1 | er maybe #mythtv-users | 22:57 |
| superm1 | thats a better start | 22:57 |
| hads | Yeah, I was using pulse successfully too. | 22:57 |
| BenB | I'd rather not go to #mythtv, or I'll hit danielk who created the patch, and I'll use the worst kinds of insults towards him :) | 22:58 |
| hads | Just be nicer. | 22:58 |
| hads | And do make sure it's #mythtv-users | 22:58 |
| BenB | nah, when I see such arrogant ignorance, I can't be nice anymore :/ | 22:58 |
| hads | Well that's your problem then. | 22:58 |
| Shadow__X | mac9416, so any other questions | 22:58 |
| BenB | that's why I rather avoid the confrontation and leave it to others who have better developed social skills :) | 22:58 |
| hads | heh | 22:59 |
| hads | At least you're honest :) | 22:59 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, yeah, I ran mythtv-setup, and added my capture card, but I still can't enter "Watch TV" | 23:01 |
| Shadow__X | you didnt scan | 23:01 |
| Shadow__X | it knows theres a tuner but doesnt know what to tune | 23:01 |
| mac9416 | Waaaait, that's for TV. I want the Composite(2). | 23:02 |
| mac9416 | Do I still have to scan? | 23:04 |
| superm1 | you have to attach a tv source | 23:05 |
| superm1 | eg somewhere guide data comes from | 23:05 |
| hads | Are you just trying to digitise some old VHS tapes? | 23:06 |
| mac9416 | Yeah, old-school, retro VHSs. | 23:06 |
| hads | If you happen to have a PVR-150 or somesuch then you can just cat /dev/video0 > my_movie.mpg | 23:06 |
| mac9416 | I don't even want to watch TV. | 23:06 |
| hads | Honestly, it's a bit of a waste of time using myth just for that. | 23:07 |
| mac9416 | Heavens! had I known that... | 23:07 |
| mac9416 | Well, I plan to do some editing too. | 23:07 |
| mac9416 | So, cat /dev/video0 > my_movie.mpg? And I can play that with Xine? | 23:08 |
| hads | Are you using a PVR-150? | 23:09 |
| mac9416 | No, ATI TV-Wonder 200. And I hate it. | 23:09 |
| mac9416 | But, it's what I've got. | 23:09 |
| hads | Then quite possibly not, no. | 23:10 |
| hads | So don't feel so bad :) | 23:10 |
| mac9416 | No, I know I have a /dev/video0 | 23:10 |
| mac9416 | If that's all that's required... | 23:10 |
| hads | It's not. | 23:10 |
| mac9416 | Drato. | 23:11 |
| hads | The PVR-150 etc. output MPEG files which is why you can do that. | 23:11 |
| mac9416 | So, how can I get Mythtv to play it? | 23:11 |
| mac9416 | (I need to get a PVR) | 23:11 |
| hads | Pass, I don't know anything about that card but if it's supported under Linux then the normal myth setup should work. | 23:12 |
| mac9416 | I thought I already did the normal setup in mythtv-setup. Is there something else I have to configure? | 23:15 |
| Shadow__X | try cating it | 23:16 |
| mac9416 | OK, can't hurt. | 23:16 |
| mac9416 | cat: Input/Output error. | 23:21 |
| Shadow__X | where you playing the tape | 23:23 |
| mac9416 | Yup. (Raiders of the Lost Ark) :-D | 23:24 |
| mac9416 | No luck. | 23:24 |
| Shadow__X | /dev/video0 is there right | 23:26 |
| Shadow__X | nvm | 23:26 |
| mac9416 | Yup. | 23:26 |
| Shadow__X | make the vcr is plugged in | 23:26 |
| mac9416 | Yup. | 23:27 |
| mac9416 | Y'know, I had it playing in TVTime, but it stopped. Maybe a reboot is in order... | 23:27 |
| Shadow__X | unless you did something normally reboots arent needed in linux all the time | 23:30 |
| mac9416 | True... | 23:30 |
| Shadow__X | does tvtime work now | 23:33 |
| Shadow__X | ? | 23:33 |
| mac9416 | Nope, 'fraid not. | 23:33 |
| Shadow__X | what does it say | 23:34 |
| mac9416 | Nothing. No errors, just a blue screen. | 23:34 |
| Shadow__X | hmm when it was working what happened for it to stop | 23:35 |
| mac9416 | Well, I installed 'dvr' thinking I'd give it a try. | 23:36 |
| Shadow__X | hmm did you run it lol oh wait | 23:36 |
| Shadow__X | is myth-backend running | 23:36 |
| mac9416 | Probably. | 23:36 |
| mac9416 | Kill it? | 23:37 |
| Shadow__X | yes either kill it or delete where you configured setup to use your tuner | 23:37 |
| mac9416 | No good killing it. Where's that config file? | 23:39 |
| Shadow__X | what do you mean no good killing it | 23:39 |
| mac9416 | It didn't help. | 23:40 |
| Shadow__X | you killed the backend? and it still doesnt help | 23:42 |
| mac9416 | Nope. No good. | 23:43 |
| Lossif | is there a tutorial on how to set up mythnettv on mythbuntu 9.04? | 23:43 |
| mac9416 | Shadow__X, I'll just play arround with it tonight. It's probably very simple. | 23:51 |
| Shadow__X | yeah most likely | 23:51 |
