[02:22] <Pontiac> How do I change my Mythbuntu box to *NOT* prompt for a login and password each time it boots?
[02:23] <Pontiac> I installed KDE because I had a brain dead moment, now I can't flip'n figure out how to NOT get it to ask me who I am. :/
[02:46] <hads> Make sure you're using GDM (rather than KDM) and then you should be able to setup automatic login in mythbuntu-contrl-centre
[02:51] <Pontiac> I'll try that.  Thanks.
[03:06] <Pontiac> Almost.  Now GDM doesn't want to launch on a reboot.
[03:06] <Pontiac> If I log in manually at the text prompt, then launch gdm, it works.  But doesn't auto-start.  I can't remember the program to configure what the startup display manager is.
[03:07] <Pontiac> dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[03:08] <Pontiac> ... wrong butotn.
[03:09] <Pontiac> Perfect.  Thanks hads.
[03:23] <hads> Pontiac: Cool np
[03:25] <Pontiac> ... now to figure out why VNC is all-of-a-sudden asking for a password.  Sheesh.
[03:52] <Pontiac> I've just noticed that for the updates I can go to distribution release 9.04.  I had bad luck with another Ubuntu upgrade.  Anyone ever pushed that UPGRADE button and had success bringing everything back up?
[05:13] <darthanubis> Pontiac, lol you are serious aren't you?
[05:23] <Pontiac> Yeah, I am serious.  Last time I did a distro-upgrade I pretty much fubarred the entire OS.
[05:24] <Pontiac> It wasn't with Mythbuntu, but a LAMP install.
[05:24] <Pontiac> Fortunately it was a relatively new install so I didn't lose anything.  I'm really untrusting of stuff I can't revert. ;)
[05:51]  * rhpot1991 has had success
[05:52] <rhpot1991> with mythtv you should always backup your db first before doing any major changes
[06:00] <Shadow__X> i have had dist upgrades fail numerous times
[06:04] <darthanubis> never had an upgrade issue
[06:06] <hads> I've had niggles but nothing a couple of tweaks didn't fix.
[06:07] <hads> You should do-release-upgrade rather than dist-upgrade too to be clear.
[06:27] <Pontiac> For me, I don't have much of a database.  I don't have a tuner hooked up to the unit, so its all videos.
[06:28] <Pontiac> Saves me DVDs from my 2 and 3 year olds. {smirk}
[06:31] <lavermil> hehe
[06:32] <Pontiac> I think I'm just not gonna bother upgrading it.  Since its just a machine I have hooked up to the LAN in order to get my movies and TV shows on to it, no one externally can get to it...
[06:32] <lavermil> why upgrade then
[06:33] <Pontiac> {smirk} Entertainment value, and just to see if it'll break.
[06:33] <Pontiac> I kinda like seeing smoke billowing outta my computers.
[06:33] <lavermil> ugh
[06:33] <lavermil> I would just like to see mine work
[06:33] <lavermil> getting my tuner card working via mplayer is easy
[06:34] <lavermil> now I just need to get mythtv to load right
[06:34] <lavermil> I told it during install to use the amd prop drivers and it jacked up the display so bad it wouldn't load
[06:34] <Pontiac> Is it possible to get Myth to stream the video feed to another computer on the LAN?
[06:34] <lavermil> so I had to go into recovery and remove the drivers
[06:34] <lavermil> sure
[06:34] <lavermil> wait
[06:35] <lavermil> stream...a live bcast?
[06:35] <Pontiac> Yeah.
[06:35] <Pontiac> Cable from the TV company to the tuner, the tuner to the PC, the PC to the LAN, the lan to my main machine.
[06:35] <lavermil> I would think so. that is one of hte purposes of front/backend...I thought...then again I could have mixed that with the concept the scheduled recordings/etc.
[06:36] <Pontiac> Ahh... Yer a newb just like me. {smirk}
[06:36] <Pontiac> I've yet to dig in.  I'm decent with 'Nix and specifically Ubuntu, but all the toys these boys wrote into it still has me scratching my head sometimes,
[06:36] <lavermil> one would think you could stream the cache that it creates after you pause it.
[06:37] <Pontiac> Well, I know VLC is capable of being setup to do specifically that.  I just don't know if Myth is capable of convincing VLC to set itself up to do so.
[06:37] <Pontiac> A BIT of SSH work to get it to go I guess wouldn't be all that bad.
[06:37] <lavermil> *nix I am alrite with regarding server stuff, this desktop sounds/video/tuner/epg/ir/is all new to me.
[06:38] <lavermil> you can select vlc as one of your players...in fact with mythbuntu it is selected already....along with mplayer and one other.
[06:38] <Pontiac> I'm too broke to get an IR remote for this thing.  So I've installed VNC, although I would love to get my old 800mhz notebook setup to control the TV.
[06:39] <hads> Pontiac: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/115971/
[06:39] <Pontiac> .. frog and hotpants?
[06:39] <hads> That will send keypresses on a remote console direct to myth to control it.
[06:40] <hads> heh, Smokey and the Bandit characters
[06:40] <lavermil> damn ati's new drivers seem broken. everyone is having issues with them. grr
[06:40] <Zinn> lavermil: Please watch your language.
[06:40] <lavermil> damn 9.4 was suppose to be good.
[06:40] <Zinn> lavermil: Please watch your language.
[06:41] <lavermil> hehe
[06:41] <Pontiac> hads> This a server side or client side script?
[06:43] <hads> It sends keypresses to a remote mythfrontend.
[06:43] <hads> So, either.
[06:44] <Pontiac> hmmmm...  Very interesting.
[06:46] <Pontiac> Very nice.....
[06:47] <Pontiac> *starts trying to figure out how to get this to work*
[06:47] <Pontiac> Physically I mean.
[07:27] <Pontiac> Does anyone else have any problems with MythMovies?
[07:28] <Pontiac> If I run the command at the command line (/usr/bin/ignyte --zip 90210 --radius 1) I get tonnes of text in XML, but it doesn't seem to work in Myth?
[07:36] <lavermil> I gotta get my audio to work before I go forward
[07:36] <lavermil> hehe
[07:36] <Pontiac> I ran into that problem.  The machine I was using had been a work machine, and I was getting annoyed with Winblows asking me for drivers each time I started the machine...
[07:37] <Pontiac> So about 4 years ago, I popped a jumper off, and forgot about it... that is until I decided to USE the machine again for this.
[07:37] <Pontiac> Lost a lotta hair until I remembered that.
[11:59] <chris__> hi Zinn
[11:59] <chris__> I am attempting to get mythtv front and back working on the same machine
[12:00] <chris__> with suspend and resume
[12:01] <chris__> I was wondering if I need to complete the setting F11 when attempting to use the same machine where wake/resume settings are already entered for backup
[12:02] <chris__> this to me seems like to attempting to shut down a machine that has already shutdown
[12:08] <chris__> solved:Why does mythwelcome need its own settings....
[12:08] <chris__> THe backend already knows how to turn of the machine, why do we have to specify it again in mythwelcome setup?
[12:08] <chris__> When using the described settings, the back-end no longer actually performs the shutdown anymore - instead it calls "mythshutdown --shutdown" and lets that program figure out what needs to be done in order to turn off. The "Command to shutdown" setting in Mythwelcome setup configures how mythshutdown turns off the machine once it has ensured that turning off now is permitted. Mythshutdown actually perform some extra checks to ensure it's a good ide
[12:08] <chris__> a to shutdown before turning off the computer (e.g. checks not within 15 minutes of a recording - that kind of thing).
[17:48] <Metoer> I have a PCTV - DVB-T nanoStick Ultimate 73eM, does anyone know if I can get that working with mythbuntu. I'd googled around, but can't find anything that helps me
[18:19] <oobe> Metoer, checkout #linuxtv since *buntu only uses the drivers they make
[18:19] <Metoer> Thanks oobe
[23:29] <mheld> hey y'all
[23:30] <mheld> anybody have any luck with the pinnacle PCTV hd pro usb tuner?
