| Kermitfan22 | I added a new Hard Drive today, moved my video files over to it, in the process, I managed to muck things up and fill my primary partition (seperate from my video partition). Now mythtv won't start properly. I did a Database restore, but the backend.log still says that the database is not open. Help? | 00:22 |

| docelm0 | Sorry no.. Using stock drivers with mythbuntu | 05:08 |
| docelm0 | I have a S3 Uni Chrome Pro onboard video | 05:09 |

| Technophil | Hi, anyone interested in 9400GT PCI video cards here - and mythbuntu | 07:29 |
| Technophil | Seems using the PCI bus limits the amount of RAM usable when using a 32 bit version. | 07:32 |
| Technophil | Hmmm Installing 9.04, I need to upgrade from the default 180.44 (that does not support my card fully) to 180.51 that is supposed to... How does one get synaptic to move nvidia-glx-180 from 180.44 to the latest. Options are only uninstall and reinstall - which does not upgrade.... | 08:59 |
| darthanubis | Technophil, you can't upgrade to somethign that is NOT there | 09:00 |
| darthanubis | if you want that driver you will either have to wait til it hits the repos, or manual install it yourself from Nvidia | 09:00 |
| Technophil | OK, I thought it would download it. Ahhh | 09:00 |
| Technophil | So is it ok to do a manual install using the NVIDIA file in mythbuntu? | 09:01 |
| darthanubis | nah, it does not work like that | 09:01 |
| darthanubis | it's ok, so long as you know what you are doing | 09:01 |
| darthanubis | you will be responsible for the maintence of your video driver then | 09:01 |
| darthanubis | you have to make sure build-essentials, kernel headers, are installed | 09:02 |
| darthanubis | and you will have to reove everything nvidia from synaptic | 09:02 |
| Technophil | Well I can uninstall from synaptic.... I am fine about keeping an eye on nvidia for their latest, no doubt they will continue to do releases for the coming months | 09:02 |
| darthanubis | I have a 9500GT | 09:03 |
| darthanubis | the 180.44 driver is working fine | 09:03 |
| darthanubis | for me at least | 09:03 |
| Technophil | so which 18x.xx are you running? | 09:03 |
| Technophil | Ahhh 9400GT support NVIDIA say only cam in about 180.50 | 09:04 |
| Technophil | I am getting font issues, for example "c"'s are squares | 09:04 |
| hads | Sounds odd. | 09:04 |
| darthanubis | weird | 09:04 |
| Technophil | Confirming from the NVIDIA announcements GeForce 9400 GT was first stated as supported with 180.50 | 09:06 |
| darthanubis | go for it! | 09:07 |
| Technophil | Is build headers "apt-build" in synaptic? | 09:08 |
| Technophil | woops, build essentials | 09:08 |
| darthanubis | no | 09:08 |
| darthanubis | apt-get install build-essentials linux-headers | 09:09 |
| darthanubis | that shoudl be enough | 09:09 |
| Technophil | jeez too easy when you know what you're doing! | 09:09 |
| darthanubis | I've done it plenty of times | 09:09 |
| darthanubis | comes in handy when you run Alpha Ubuntus with broken xorgs | 09:10 |
| Technophil | So I remove completely the NVIDIS stuff from synaptic, run your apt and download / run the nvidia installer? | 09:10 |
| darthanubis | yup | 09:10 |
| Technophil | Nothing like bad experiences to learn one... | 09:10 |
| darthanubis | The Nvidia installer has great text documentation | 09:10 |
| darthanubis | you'll have to shut down gdm to run the installer | 09:11 |
| darthanubis | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 09:11 |
| darthanubis | don't bring the gui down until you download the nvidia installer | 09:11 |
| darthanubis | remember where you downloaded it | 09:12 |
| darthanubis | and then chmod a+x on the installer to make it executable | 09:12 |
| darthanubis | all of this is in the installer directions | 09:12 |
| darthanubis | good luc | 09:12 |
| darthanubis | brb, out for a smoke | 09:12 |
| Technophil | Which one? NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg0.run or NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run ??! | 09:13 |
| darthanubis | ??? | 09:13 |
| darthanubis | why is there two? | 09:14 |
| darthanubis | just pick either one | 09:14 |
| Technophil | ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/180.51/ | 09:15 |
| Technophil | the *1* is 22M and *0* only 13M | 09:16 |
| Technophil | OK it says "The file with the highest package number is suitable for most installations" in the readme | 09:17 |
| Technophil | so its 1 | 09:18 |
| darthanubis | WAIT! | 09:18 |
| Technophil | so I guess one is an earlier version? | 09:18 |
| darthanubis | I found somethign you'll like | 09:18 |

| darthanubis | good find | 09:19 |
| darthanubis | a PPA with the latest X stuff | 09:19 |
| darthanubis | just add to synaptic repos list, then reload, then mark updates | 09:20 |
| darthanubis | nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.53-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low | 09:21 |
| Technophil | How about that, maybe mutual benefit here eh? So I just add "https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates" as another repo | 09:23 |
| darthanubis | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:24 |
| darthanubis | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main | 09:24 |
| darthanubis | add those two lines to the repo portion of synaptic | 09:24 |
| darthanubis | I just did it | 09:24 |
| Technophil | under 3rd party software? | 09:25 |
| Technophil | Presumably that will automatically update 180.44 then? | 09:25 |
| darthanubis | yes and yes | 09:25 |
| darthanubis | updating mine right now | 09:26 |
| darthanubis | the lesson in this...search google first ;) | 09:26 |
| Technophil | Would you allow me some time to wait for your confirmation it works?! | 09:26 |
| darthanubis | np | 09:26 |
| Technophil | I have searched heaps! | 09:26 |
| Technophil | The ket is the search phrase! | 09:27 |
| Technophil | key... | 09:27 |
| darthanubis | nvidia installer 180.51 9.04 | 09:27 |
| darthanubis | That was my search phrase | 09:27 |
| darthanubis | first link was gold | 09:27 |
| Technophil | needless to say I did not use that one! | 09:27 |
| darthanubis | :P | 09:27 |
| Technophil | *** wonders where there is a hole to crawl into.... | 09:28 |
| Technophil | How come you did all the alpha installs? | 09:29 |
| Technophil | Are you a contributing developer? | 09:29 |
| darthanubis | no | 09:29 |
| darthanubis | sometimes I like to be on the bleeding edge | 09:30 |
| darthanubis | the Alpha stuff is never bad for me | 09:30 |
| darthanubis | since it usually just picks up from the last stable release | 09:30 |
| Technophil | Which city are you and what technology are you pulling down? | 09:30 |
| darthanubis | http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu | 09:30 |
| darthanubis | "what technology are you pulling down?"? I don't understand? | 09:31 |
| darthanubis | driver updated without a hitch | 09:32 |
| Technophil | Well at a guess I'd say you are not using DVB-T | 09:33 |
| darthanubis | to be sure I 'll have to reload the driver, adn that would mean rebooting or reinserting the kernel driver, which I don't want to do rightnow | 09:33 |
| darthanubis | no | 09:33 |
| darthanubis | analog cable | 09:33 |
| darthanubis | PVR-150 | 09:33 |
| darthanubis | still kicking | 09:33 |
| Technophil | Yes they are easy to set up, not like our HD stuff..... | 09:34 |
| darthanubis | ok. let me change drivers | 09:35 |
| darthanubis | brb | 09:35 |
| darthanubis | Technophil, like a charm | 09:40 |

| darthanubis | yup | 09:45 |
| darthanubis | the link updates launchpad keys | 09:45 |
| darthanubis | you will need to reboot after driver update | 09:45 |
| darthanubis | i did not because I just droppped to CLi and rmod nvidia | 09:46 |
| darthanubis | and then modprobe nvidia | 09:46 |
| darthanubis | then nvidia-xconfig | 09:46 |

| FPSDavid | oh... | 09:46 |
| FPSDavid | thanks | 09:47 |
| darthanubis | you don't possess a fundemantal undestanding of your issue, which means, you have a lot of reading to do | 09:47 |

| darthanubis | FPSDavid, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty | 09:49 |
| darthanubis | read the part about mounting drives | 09:49 |

| FPSDavid | darthanubis, all it says is "mount /dev/whatever" "umount /dev/whatever" | 09:50 |
| darthanubis | keep reading | 09:51 |

| darthanubis | yes | 09:53 |
| FPSDavid | thats dumb | 09:53 |
| darthanubis | ok Dave | 09:53 |
| FPSDavid | it'd be a learning experience if i figured it out, not if i gave up | 09:53 |
| darthanubis | sometimes we have to go back to the drawing board | 09:54 |
| darthanubis | I like your spirit, but you are not advanced enough for this project. | 09:54 |
| FPSDavid | is it really that hard to tell me what command to run so i can copy my files and start over on the other drive | 09:54 |
| darthanubis | You are trying to add a spare drive to copy your media over to it before a cleaninstall. | 09:55 |
| darthanubis | Yes, it is | 09:55 |
| FPSDavid | if i started over, i'd lose like 50GB of movies and music | 09:55 |
| darthanubis | You'd learn nothing that way if I just gave you the cmds | 09:55 |
| darthanubis | but even if I gave you the cmds you don't know how/when/where to execute them | 09:56 |
| darthanubis | I have to know thaat the spare drive is connected and the address eg. /dev/sda? | 09:56 |
| FPSDavid | i already have the /media/backup directory made, chmod'd to 777 | 09:56 |
| darthanubis | /dev/sdb? | 09:56 |
| darthanubis | ok | 09:56 |
| FPSDavid | i linked http://pastebin.com/d4bacdc57 | 09:56 |
| darthanubis | so now mount that drive | 09:56 |
| FPSDavid | its /dev/sda | 09:56 |
| darthanubis | sda is the spare? | 09:57 |
| FPSDavid | yeah, apaprently so | 09:57 |
| darthanubis | it looks liek there is a linux install on it | 09:57 |
| FPSDavid | there is lol | 09:57 |
| darthanubis | looks like linux is installed on both sda and sdb? | 09:57 |
| FPSDavid | i dont need/want it though, i was planning on mounting and deleting everything off sdb | 09:57 |
| FPSDavid | yeah, they both have mythbuntu on them, but sdb hasnt been used in a year or two | 09:57 |
| FPSDavid | deleting everything off sda* | 09:58 |
| FPSDavid | the 40gb | 09:58 |
| Technophil | Well rebooted.....damn! Fonts more corrupted on the mythbuntu main menu. Musc a edt and some numebrs super sick. | 09:59 |
| Zinn | Technophil: Please watch your language. | 09:59 |
| FPSDavid | the plan was: mount 40GB, copy movies/music to 40GB, clean install on 250GB, copy files back from 40GB to 250GB, remove 40GB | 10:00 |
| FPSDavid | stuck @ part1, the rest shoudl be easy | 10:00 |
| FPSDavid | all i really need to know is how to find out what type it is so i can put it in w/ -t | 10:02 |
| Technophil | but it is 180.53 | 10:02 |
| darthanubis | FPSDavid, firget type just mount | 10:03 |
| darthanubis | you need to format the whole drive first | 10:04 |
| darthanubis | use cfdisk | 10:04 |
| darthanubis | sudo cfdisk /dev/sda | 10:04 |
| darthanubis | Technophil, you've got other issues | 10:04 |

| Technophil | nvidia-settings is 180.25 but no later version offered (ignoring | 10:09 |

| Technophil | I guess you are saying DVI is technically better and mroe reliable? | 11:04 |
| darthanubis | Xfce? | 11:04 |
| darthanubis | yes | 11:04 |
| Technophil | mythbuntu which I think is Xfce | 11:04 |
| darthanubis | yeah | 11:04 |
| darthanubis | I used to use XFCE | 11:04 |
| darthanubis | on my low power machines | 11:05 |
| Technophil | I have four mythbuntu boxes connected thru a KVM switch. | 11:05 |
| Technophil | At least while I am setting them up for distribution arounsd the house... | 11:05 |
| Technophil | When its presentable to the girls... | 11:05 |
| darthanubis | My main box is my mythtv server | 11:06 |
| Technophil | The thing is the other 3 work reliably using the same screen and switch. | 11:06 |
| darthanubis | It is Ubuntu with mythtv installed | 11:06 |

| darthanubis | card? | 11:06 |

| darthanubis | well there u go | 11:06 |
| Technophil | The others are stable, 5200, 7600 and a 8500 | 11:07 |
| Technophil | this is a PCI 9400, good idea, lots of trouble, but then it may just because its so bleeding edge in the driver score... | 11:07 |
| darthanubis | pull up a term and run nvidia-settings | 11:07 |
| Technophil | is using putty ok or did I need did it on the box for what you got in mind? | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | nah it should work fine | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | no | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | CLI | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | COMMAND LINEINTERFACE | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | TERMINAL | 11:08 |
| darthanubis | oops | 11:09 |
| darthanubis | sorry about those caps | 11:09 |
| Technophil | No worries! | 11:09 |
| Technophil | Is it OK to run that outside the mythbuntu control centre? | 11:09 |
| darthanubis | it's dark and i can't type | 11:09 |
| darthanubis | yes | 11:09 |
| darthanubis | goto accesories in the menu I believe | 11:09 |
| darthanubis | if you can see the desktop | 11:10 |
| Technophil | Got it | 11:10 |
| darthanubis | nvidia-settings | 11:10 |
| Technophil | OK opens the same NVIDIA control window | 11:11 |
| darthanubis | double click what I type then move cursor to terminal, and press down on the mouse wheel | 11:11 |
| darthanubis | ok now adjust settings to your likin | 11:11 |
| darthanubis | they are generally good | 11:12 |
| darthanubis | is the desktop off center? | 11:12 |
| Technophil | Ahh my IRC is on a windows box.... pigin | 11:13 |
| Technophil | Desktop on the LCD seems perfect in terms of placement. The TV is underscanning 15% (I think its under) | 11:14 |
| darthanubis | you use the mythtv frontend settup options for that | 11:14 |
| Technophil | Ahhh, I wondered how people sorted thsat as I understand many TV's need fixing... | 11:15 |
| Technophil | What do you mean what you type? | 11:16 |
| darthanubis | ?? | 11:17 |
| Technophil | You said ": double click what I type then move cursor to terminal, and press down on the mouse wheel" | 11:18 |
| darthanubis | oh the text in the window here | 11:19 |
| darthanubis | commands to paste in your terminal | 11:19 |
| darthanubis | like this | 11:19 |
| darthanubis | glxgears | 11:20 |
| Technophil | I think it needs a sudo first? | 11:22 |
| darthanubis | nope | 11:22 |
| Technophil | glxgears seems to do nothing | 11:23 |
| darthanubis | hmm | 11:23 |
| darthanubis | glxinfo | 11:24 |
| Technophil | Ahh I think I need to install mesa-utils | 11:25 |
| Technophil | when I exited it tried to run glxgears, says its not installed | 11:25 |
| darthanubis | ok | 11:27 |
| Technophil | Sorry be 15 mins | 11:28 |
| darthanubis | k | 11:29 |
| Technophil | Kewl the gears works fine to me anyway! | 11:58 |
| Technophil | glxinfo gives screeds | 11:59 |
| Technophil | Doesn't seem to run over putty, wines about Error: unable to open display however runs on the desktop terminal fine | 12:00 |
| Technophil | Interesting it gets correct that it is running on a PCI bus, the nvidia-settings window says its a PCI Express 1x bus! (Which I understand to be different and not present on the motherboard!) | 12:04 |
| Technophil | Thank you again darthanubis | 12:53 |

| FPSDavid | does anyone know where in the file structure the recordings, music, movies folders are? | 22:55 |
| hads | You can check in mythtv's settings, though I believe the defaults are /var/lib/something | 22:57 |
| FPSDavid | ok | 22:57 |
| FPSDavid | thx they were in /var/lib/mythtv | 23:02 |
| docelm0 | I have an issue.. I believe my on board S3 video card is having issues with the FPS. Can someone recommend a good/inexpensive AGP video card that will work well? My current platform is: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ 2.4GHz, 512M ram running 32bit MythBuntu 9.04 | 23:14 |
| hads | Nvidia | 23:14 |
