[00:22] <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?

[05:01] <Zinn> docelm0: Hi $nick, how are you?  Something we can help you with today?
[05:01] <docelm0> small question..  I personally think my video card sucks.. but looking for confirmation
[05:02] <docelm0> it appears I am not getting the FPS I should be..  my video frames/audio is perfect..   just wicked jerky
[05:02] <docelm0> CPU is at 20%
[05:04] <tgm4883> what vid card?
[05:04] <tgm4883> what type of content are you trying to watch?
[05:04] <tgm4883> did you install the proprietary drivers?
[05:08] <docelm0> Sorry no..  Using stock drivers with mythbuntu
[05:09] <docelm0> I have a S3 Uni Chrome Pro onboard video
[05:09] <Essobi> anyone running a bttv?
[05:09] <docelm0> Standard TV video
[05:09] <docelm0> no HD
[05:09] <Essobi> or umm... know how I can invoke /usr/bin/mythtv in debug...
[05:10] <Essobi> Xawtv is working fine, but mythtv is choking to a blue screen... but it does change the channels.. and I can hear audio..
[05:12] <tgm4883> docelm0, sorry, I know nothing about that vid card
[05:13] <docelm0> k thanks
[05:23] <ball> What does MythTV use to send audio over a LAN?
[05:25] <TrueDestroyer> New to MythTV/Mythbuntu, trying to switch to Watch TV mode is failing. Does anyone have any ideas? http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f167f018e
[05:54] <ball> Can Mythbuntu use NAS?
[06:04] <FPSDavid> hi, i just tried to upgrade mythbuntu

[07:29] <Technophil> Hi, anyone interested in 9400GT PCI video cards here - and mythbuntu
[07:32] <Technophil> Seems using the PCI bus limits the amount of RAM usable when using a 32 bit version.
[08:59] <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....
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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?
[09:04] <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
[09:06] <Technophil> Confirming from the NVIDIA announcements GeForce 9400 GT was first stated as supported with 180.50
[09:07] <darthanubis> go for it!
[09:08] <Technophil> Is build headers "apt-build" in synaptic?
[09:08] <Technophil> woops, build essentials
[09:08] <darthanubis> no
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <Technophil> Which one?  NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg0.run  or NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run   ??!
[09:13] <darthanubis> ???
[09:14] <darthanubis> why is there two?
[09:14] <darthanubis> just pick either one
[09:15] <Technophil> ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/180.51/
[09:16] <Technophil> the *1* is 22M and *0* only 13M
[09:17] <Technophil> OK it says "The file with the highest package number is suitable for most installations" in the readme
[09:18] <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

[09:19] <darthanubis> that last link
[09:19] <darthanubis> good find
[09:19] <darthanubis> a PPA with the latest X stuff
[09:20] <darthanubis> just add to synaptic repos list, then reload, then mark updates
[09:21] <darthanubis> nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.53-0ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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
[09:25] <Technophil> under 3rd party software?
[09:25] <Technophil> Presumably that will automatically update 180.44 then?
[09:25] <darthanubis> yes and yes
[09:26] <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!
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <Technophil> *** wonders where there is a hole to crawl into....
[09:29] <Technophil> How come you did all the alpha installs?
[09:29] <Technophil> Are you a contributing developer?
[09:29] <darthanubis> no
[09:30] <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
[09:31] <darthanubis> "what technology are you pulling down?"? I don't understand?
[09:32] <darthanubis> driver updated without a hitch
[09:33] <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
[09:34] <Technophil> Yes they are easy to set up, not like our HD stuff.....
[09:35] <darthanubis> ok. let me change drivers
[09:35] <darthanubis> brb
[09:40] <darthanubis> Technophil, like a charm
[09:40] <Technophil> So you're running 180.51 now?!
[09:41] <Technophil> Well here we go....LOL

[09:41] <darthanubis> ;)
[09:42] <Technophil> Hmmm it complains about the public key,
[09:42] <Technophil> I suppose I can ignore?
[09:42] <darthanubis> don't worry about that
[09:43] <darthanubis> yes ignore

[09:45] <darthanubis> http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/ubuntu-script-to-automatically-install.html
[09:45] <darthanubis> yup
[09:45] <darthanubis> the link updates launchpad keys
[09:45] <darthanubis> you will need to reboot after driver update
[09:46] <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> sorry to interrupt, but i'm triyng to mount the 1st drive (40GB HD) from here: http://pastebin.com/d4bacdc57 by running "mount /dev/sda /media/backup" and it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[09:46] <darthanubis> then restarted gdm
[09:46] <darthanubis> FPSDavid, your issue is beyond the scope of this support channel
[09:46] <FPSDavid> oh...
[09:47] <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> best to just reinstall
[09:47] <FPSDavid> im about to reinstall
[09:47] <FPSDavid> but i wanna backup my files
[09:47] <darthanubis> I'm sorry man
[09:47] <darthanubis> back up to an external drive?
[09:48] <FPSDavid> i dont have an external drive
[09:48] <FPSDavid> i plugged in a 2nd HD
[09:48] <Selva> hey guys, i seem to be having a problem with getting mythtv/mythbuntu working, i can seem to log onto the SQL server, IE, it's not running and i cant figuer out how to get in running (yes i am very new linux)
[09:48] <darthanubis> Selva, ther eis a fix, but being new, may complicate the issue
[09:49] <Selva> i cant* seem to log into the SQL server
[09:49] <Selva> ahh kk.... do i have to manually run the server? or should it automatically run?
[09:49] <darthanubis> FPSDavid, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty
[09:49] <darthanubis> read the part about mounting drives
[09:49] <darthanubis> Selva, it has to be configured
[09:50] <darthanubis> Selva, dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[09:50] <darthanubis> excuse me
[09:50] <Selva> k
[09:50] <darthanubis> Selva, sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[09:50] <darthanubis> at the command line
[09:50] <FPSDavid> darthanubis, all it says is "mount /dev/whatever" "umount /dev/whatever"
[09:51] <darthanubis> keep reading
[09:51] <FPSDavid> i still see no mention of filesystem types
[09:51] <darthanubis> in cli type man mount
[09:51] <darthanubis> google man mount
[09:51] <darthanubis> googel mount
[09:51] <FPSDavid> i see that -t is type
[09:52] <FPSDavid> but how do i know what type my drive is
[09:52] <FPSDavid> it just says Linux,Extended,Swap
[09:52] <Selva> gah.... hang on, seems mysql has gone walk about... i think i may have accidently uninstalled it :(

[09:53] <Technophil> darthanubis: Installed.  Just reboot?  (I'm on separate PC)
[09:53] <FPSDavid> darthanubis...no
[09:53] <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
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <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
[09:57] <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
[09:58] <FPSDavid> deleting everything off sda*
[09:58] <FPSDavid> the 40gb
[09:59] <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.
[10:00] <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
[10:02] <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
[10:03] <darthanubis> FPSDavid, firget type just mount
[10:04] <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> yep!
[10:04] <darthanubis> brb
[10:07] <Technophil> Mmmm  nvidia-180-modaliases is still 180.44 but upgrade also there for 180.53
[10:07] <Technophil> updating....
[10:09] <FPSDavid> ok back
[10:09] <Technophil> nvidia-settings is 180.25 but no later version offered  (ignoring
[10:09] <FPSDavid> i deleted the partitions, made a new one that took up the whole disc
[10:10] <FPSDavid> and when i went to "Write" it said "Failed to mount "41G volume" org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixedauth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result)"
[10:10] <Technophil> google?

[10:39] <Technophil> OK found the screen shots, looks really kewl
[10:40] <Technophil> I guess  you hang out here time to time?
[10:42] <Technophil> My daughter loves games, I'll show the game to her.  I expect she'll be keen.  How do we pull you in?
[10:54] <darthanubis> Technophil, yes I hang out here
[10:57] <Technophil> IThat PPA tutorial is really good....
[10:57] <Technophil> I've been trying for weeks to sort this video card, again a big thank you!
[10:58] <darthanubis> np your video is perfect now right?
[11:00] <Technophil> FOnts all perfect now.  I do have a funny grey rectangle on the desktop that seems to have come from no where.....
[11:00] <Technophil> Hmmm
[11:01] <darthanubis> do you have an lcd?
[11:01] <Technophil> About 3/4 inch by 3 inches, left of the mthytv
[11:01] <Technophil> Yes its on an LCD
[11:01] <Technophil> LCD is on VGA, 1080p 22"
[11:01] <darthanubis> press the "auto" on the monitor?
[11:02] <darthanubis> do you have a DVI cable?
[11:02] <Technophil> yep
[11:02] <darthanubis> use it
[11:02] <Technophil> i mean yep to DVI
[11:03] <Technophil> I did the auto image adjust thing, also power off and on, still there.
[11:04] <darthanubis> you using Gnome? Or default mythbuntu?
[11:04] <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
[11:05] <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...
[11:06] <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> same video vard?
[11:06] <darthanubis> card?
[11:06] <Technophil> No
[11:06] <darthanubis> well there u go
[11:07] <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
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <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
[11:10] <darthanubis> if you can see the desktop
[11:10] <Technophil> Got it
[11:10] <darthanubis> nvidia-settings
[11:11] <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
[11:12] <darthanubis> they are generally good
[11:12] <darthanubis> is the desktop off center?
[11:13] <Technophil> Ahh my IRC is on a windows box....  pigin
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <Technophil> Ahhh, I wondered how people sorted thsat as I understand many TV's need fixing...
[11:16] <Technophil> What do you mean what you type?
[11:17] <darthanubis> ??
[11:18] <Technophil> You said ": double click what I type then move cursor to terminal, and press down on the mouse wheel"
[11:19] <darthanubis> oh the text in the window here
[11:19] <darthanubis> commands to paste in your terminal
[11:19] <darthanubis> like this
[11:20] <darthanubis> glxgears
[11:22] <Technophil> I think it needs a sudo first?
[11:22] <darthanubis> nope
[11:23] <Technophil> glxgears seems to do nothing
[11:23] <darthanubis> hmm
[11:24] <darthanubis> glxinfo
[11:25] <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
[11:27] <darthanubis> ok
[11:28] <Technophil> Sorry be 15 mins
[11:29] <darthanubis> k
[11:58] <Technophil> Kewl the gears works fine to me anyway!
[11:59] <Technophil> glxinfo gives screeds
[12:00] <Technophil> Doesn't seem to run over putty, wines about Error: unable to open display however runs on the desktop terminal fine
[12:04] <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!)
[12:53] <Technophil> Thank you again darthanubis
[12:53] <Technophil> Nite!
[13:48] <Essobi> WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[16:46] <rhpot1991> !ask
[16:46] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.

[22:55] <FPSDavid> does anyone know where in the file structure the recordings, music, movies folders are?
[22:57] <hads> You can check in mythtv's settings, though I believe the defaults are /var/lib/something
[22:57] <FPSDavid> ok
[23:02] <FPSDavid> thx they were in /var/lib/mythtv
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <docelm0> ok will have a look see
