| dllllx | hi all | 06:42 |
| dllllx | I've setup a mythbox using mythbuntu 9.04...I'm using a Happuage pvr-250...the system sees it right, setup doesnt cause any problem...but it fails on recording or live tv...any help? | 06:45 |
| superm1 | !blankscreen | dllllx | 06:46 |
| Zinn | dllllx: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 06:46 |
| dllllx | checked...i also have this in /var/log/mythtv/mythtvbackend.log: | 06:50 |

| dllllx | is not supported by ivtv driver, using 48000 Hz instead. | 06:50 |
| dllllx | 2009-05-18 00:44:12.030 MPEGRec(/dev/video0) Error: select timeout - ivtv driver has stopped responding | 06:50 |
| dllllx | cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg yields a 0 file | 06:50 |
| superm1 | check dmesg then for ivtv related errors | 06:51 |
| dllllx | none unfortunately :( | 06:51 |
| superm1 | you sure the hardware is fully functional? | 06:52 |
| superm1 | do you have a box that you've (recently) seen it working? | 06:52 |
| dllllx | yes | 06:52 |
| dllllx | also had it in another mythtv box before... | 06:52 |
| dllllx | also...would it then not recognize anything? | 06:53 |
| dllllx | dmesg shows it recognizes the card completely | 06:53 |
| superm1 | well the next logical thing then is to try reseating the card (remove and reinsert into pci slot) | 06:54 |
| superm1 | these days there isnt much configuration necessary otherwise id point you to more softwarish ideas | 06:54 |
| dllllx | ok Ill try, but...wouldnt a badly seated card result in at least some error in loading the drivers and recognizing it? | 06:55 |
| superm1 | dllllx, generally yes it would result in some loading error, but you never know | 06:56 |
| superm1 | it's not going to do any harm to try :) | 06:56 |
| dllllx | anything else I should try before I power it down? | 06:57 |
| dllllx | btw..any other utils around for testing the video? | 06:59 |
| superm1 | dllllx, there is a command line tool for adjusting tuning and what not | 07:00 |
| superm1 | but otherwise no | 07:00 |
| superm1 | cat /var/video0 > test.mpg is the way to go otherewise | 07:00 |
| dllllx | what is the command line tool called? | 07:01 |
| superm1 | v4l2-ctl or maybe v4l-ctl | 07:01 |
| superm1 | i forget | 07:01 |
| dllllx | weird | 07:16 |
| dllllx | it worked...but now I get static | 07:16 |
| superm1 | check the freq table that you have set | 07:17 |
| superm1 | and do a channel scan etc | 07:17 |
| dllllx | missing sound | 07:18 |
| superm1 | make sure you get sound otherwise from an existing file | 07:18 |
| superm1 | such as using aplay etc | 07:18 |
| dllllx | ahh good idea | 07:19 |
| dllllx | one sec | 07:19 |
| dllllx | lol no sound | 07:23 |
| dllllx | umm any idea how's the quickest way to fix that? | 07:23 |
| dllllx | :) | 07:23 |
| dllllx | thanks so much btw for the reseating idea | 07:23 |
| superm1 | yeah np, sometimes ya forget the easy solutions :) | 07:24 |
| superm1 | so for sound, go and check alsamixer | 07:24 |
| superm1 | make sure the right mixers are turned up enough | 07:24 |
| superm1 | pcm, front, master etc | 07:24 |
| dllllx | alsamixer fails | 07:25 |
| dllllx | maybe it didnt recognize the sound...its integrated onto the board... | 07:25 |
| superm1 | make sure it's enabled in the bios | 07:26 |
| superm1 | and check lspci see if it's listed there | 07:26 |
| dllllx | would it show if its integrated onboard in lspci? | 07:27 |
| superm1 | yes | 07:28 |
| superm1 | it's still a pci device | 07:28 |
| dllllx | arg reboot time | 07:28 |
| dllllx | brb :) | 07:28 |
| dllllx | was on in bios | 07:30 |
| dllllx | kernel didnt load/see it I guess | 07:31 |
| superm1 | well is it in lspci? | 07:31 |
| dllllx | nope | 07:32 |
| superm1 | well that's really odd | 07:32 |
| superm1 | lspci should show it regardless of whether there is kernel module to support it | 07:32 |
| superm1 | that's just probing the bus for devices | 07:32 |
| dllllx | i remember sound working on this thing ages ago... | 07:33 |
| dllllx | odd | 07:33 |
| superm1 | well if it's on in the BIOS and not showing up in lspci, not much you can do | 07:35 |
| superm1 | other than pop in another sound card | 07:35 |
| dllllx | im looking it up on the net...may have to get another sound card | 07:35 |
| dllllx | sweet | 07:35 |
| dllllx | hilarious post: | 07:36 |
| dllllx | How reproducible: | 07:36 |
| dllllx | Always | 07:36 |
| dllllx | Steps to Reproduce: | 07:36 |
| dllllx | 1. Find a Dell GX1. | 07:36 |
| dllllx | 2. Install Linux. | 07:36 |
| dllllx | 3. Note that you have no sound and a sound card is not detected. | 07:36 |
| dllllx | 07:36 | |
| dllllx | Expected Results: Auto-detection of sound card. | 07:36 |
| superm1 | haha | 07:36 |
| dllllx | this is a pain | 07:43 |
| dllllx | lspnp shows the sound card | 07:55 |
| dllllx | its an ISA card | 07:55 |
| superm1 | ugh! | 07:55 |
| superm1 | do yourself a favor and put a PCI card in | 07:56 |
| superm1 | you can get a sb live! for like 20-30 dollars | 07:56 |
| dllllx | *sigh* i have one of those back at my parents place | 07:56 |
| dllllx | fixed | 08:02 |
| dllllx | weird | 08:02 |
| dllllx | not sure how it worked though | 08:02 |
| dllllx | umm | 08:03 |
| dllllx | only root can play music | 08:03 |
| dllllx | permission problem? | 08:03 |
| hugolp | Hi, live TV does not work in any of the frontends, I believe is the database. Anyone can help? | 08:04 |
| superm1 | hugolp, the best thing to check is the timezone on the frontend | 08:06 |
| superm1 | make sure it matches the one set on the backend | 08:06 |
| hugolp | superm1: you mean the general time of the machines right? not a parameter inside mythtv | 08:10 |
| superm1 | hugolp, i mean the time zone set on the machine yes | 08:10 |
| dllllx | superm1: where can I change the default sond device in mythfrontend? | 08:15 |
| dllllx | sound device | 08:15 |
| hugolp | superm1: both machines (server and client) are syncronized by ntp | 08:18 |
| superm1 | dllllx, it's set to the default device already, alsa:default | 08:18 |
| superm1 | dllllx, but you can change that in the general section | 08:18 |
| superm1 | hugolp, that doesn't matter if the time zone is set wrong | 08:18 |
| superm1 | hugolp, make sure the value it's set to on both boxes is the same | 08:18 |
| hugolp | both timezones are the same and the correct one | 08:19 |
| hugolp | superm1: this is the third time I install the server with ubuntu 9.04 because of mythtv | 08:19 |
| hugolp | the first two times it was the database | 08:19 |
| superm1 | why so much troubles? | 08:20 |
| hugolp | the two previous times at first the database would not work, but mythweb repair database solved it | 08:20 |
| superm1 | if it was random corruption, it's possible it was caused by an open bug | 08:21 |
| superm1 | bug 326768 | 08:21 |
| Zinn | Bug 326768 in mythbuntu "mysqld_safe thinks mysqld has crashed when it hasn't" [Critical, Triaged] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/326768 | 08:21 |
| superm1 | it's got a fix in -proposed | 08:21 |
| hugolp | superm1: is there any quick fix? | 08:24 |
| dllllx | nite all | 08:24 |
| superm1 | hugolp, yeah, open software-sources-gtk, and hit the proposed checkbox | 08:24 |
| superm1 | upgrade all the mysql packages | 08:24 |
| superm1 | and then turn off proposed | 08:24 |
| hugolp | ok, going to try | 08:24 |
| dllllx | thnx for the help superml | 08:25 |
| superm1 | np, night dllllx | 08:26 |
| hugolp | superm1: ok, seems to be working now, but now that I have you here, I have a bug that its been hapenning in the two previous ubuntu's as well | 08:41 |
| hugolp | I have two channels that are broadcasted in two different frequencies both | 08:41 |
| hugolp | so mythtv-backend when its scanning channels detects them twice | 08:41 |
| hugolp | On of each I disable | 08:41 |
| hugolp | but when I set a recording in on of those channels mythtv does two recordings | 08:42 |
| hugolp | instead of just one | 08:42 |
| superm1 | oh that's weird.. | 08:42 |
| hugolp | I think that because they have the same name, mythtv confuses them | 08:42 |
| superm1 | usually it's not keyed off the name like that | 08:43 |
| superm1 | i've named channels the same and not had that happen | 08:43 |
| hugolp | its there a way to delete a channel from the database, cause I have not seen the option of deleting a single channel in the backend configuration | 08:43 |
| hugolp | superm1: then I dont know, but its weird that exactly happens in those channels | 08:43 |
| superm1 | hugolp, you can delete the channels from the mythweb ui actually | 08:43 |
| superm1 | just make sure you restart the backend after you do | 08:43 |
| hugolp | ok, and one last thing | 08:44 |
| hugolp | in the previous mythtv I would manually set the channel icons manually (btw, the icon downloader is great) | 08:45 |
| hugolp | now I use the icon downloader and I see the icons in the program list, but I dont see the icons when I am changing channel in live tv | 08:45 |
| hugolp | I think its because they are not directly shared by nfs like they were when I did it manually | 08:46 |
| superm1 | no they're not unfortunately | 08:46 |
| superm1 | you can scp them around though | 08:46 |
| superm1 | they're stored in ~ i think | 08:46 |
| hugolp | ok, why is it that the program list "sees" them and the live tv dont? | 08:47 |
| superm1 | oh hm | 08:47 |
| superm1 | you got me | 08:47 |
| hugolp | ok, I will create a soft link | 08:48 |
| hugolp | thanks a lot | 08:48 |
| superm1 | yup | 08:48 |
| hot_wheelz | hi what kernel v is Mythbuntu 9.04 running by default? | 10:56 |
| henkpoley | hot_wheelz: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview#Linux%20kernel%202.6.28 | 11:04 |
| hot_wheelz | henkpoley so Mybuntu runs the kernel version as regular Ubuntu 9.04 then right? | 11:08 |
| henkpoley | hot_wheelz: yup default kernel, they even use ubuntu's own repositories | 11:09 |
| henkpoley | hot_wheelz: you could install ubuntu and then just install mythbuntu-desktop and you could do mostly the same things | 11:10 |
| henkpoley | I'm not sure if the mythbuntu CD installer does some automagic detection stuff, that might be missing then | 11:11 |
| hot_wheelz79 | sorry guys i fell off | 11:25 |
| hot_wheelz79 | my issue is i am runnig a DNTV Live Dual Hybrid PCI-E S2 anyone know them? | 11:27 |
| hot_wheelz79 | they use philips chip saa7162 is the main one I could get mythbuntu to see it always getting failed to open with every likley card option i tried..and i was told there was support in the kernel any ideas? | 11:32 |
| henkpoley | hot_wheelz: tried reading `dmesg` ? | 11:33 |
| henkpoley | Like `dmesg | grep saa` on the commandline | 11:33 |
| hot_wheelz79 | henkpoley ok then what that will tell you if they exist right? | 11:50 |
| hot_wheelz79 | henkpoley i have to go i'll try it and get back to you | 11:59 |
| oobe | superm1, remember you gave me bzr link for trunk do you have the address for svn fixes | 13:30 |
| oobe | found it | 13:41 |
| Essobi | Morning. | 13:52 |
| Essobi | Meh.. | 13:52 |
| Essobi | I figured out what was wrong with my latest myth install.. | 13:53 |
| Essobi | The intel Xorg driver is broken. :P | 13:53 |
| Essobi | s/myth/mythbuntu/ | 13:53 |
| henkpoley | Essobi: Downgrade to the LTS (8.04 ?) mythbuntu, or find the fixes for the Intel driver, some are out there | 14:15 |
| henkpoley | Essobi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes#Performance%20regressions%20on%20Intel%20graphics%20cards | 14:15 |
| henkpoley | There are other intel gfx problems/fixes mentioned on that page | 14:16 |
| henkpoley | Okay, so I have restored my database from backup and I am back to Ubuntu Jaunty's mythtv (not weeklies) | 15:28 |
| henkpoley | What is the preferred way to fix moved (by cable provider) DVB-C frequencies ? | 15:28 |
| Essobi | henkpoley: I already downgraded the video driver. | 15:47 |

| CShadowRun | anyone had any luck getting an ati remote wonder to work properly with mythbuntu? | 15:50 |
| CShadowRun | most of the keys don't do anything (although they show up in xev) | 15:51 |
| Daviey | hey CShadowRun | 16:17 |
| CShadowRun | hey Daviey :D | 16:18 |
| Daviey | yes.. should work dandy.. it's possible your remote is not the ones we have in the setting. There is a wiki page explaining how to roll your own config, and this may be suotable | 16:18 |
| CShadowRun | didn't see you there :) | 16:18 |
| Daviey | suitable* | 16:18 |
| Daviey | if so, raise a bug :) | 16:18 |
| CShadowRun | yea i'm trying to make the thing on the wiki work now, not having much luck | 16:18 |
| CShadowRun | i did get the remote to talk to irrecord though, so thats a start \o/ | 16:18 |
| CShadowRun | correction, looks like i have sucess :D | 16:20 |
| CShadowRun | yup, sucess, yay :D | 16:21 |
| Daviey | \o/ | 16:22 |
| Daviey | what was it? | 16:22 |
| CShadowRun | i didn't use lircd.conf, hehe | 16:23 |
| CShadowRun | i didn't realize it required 2 config files to get it alive | 16:23 |
| CShadowRun | gotta blacklist ati_remote, stick the lircrc in ~/.mythtv/lircrc and ~/.lirc/mythtv and stick lircd.conf in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf and then it's good | 16:24 |
| CShadowRun | loving the web panel...oh the streaming fun :P | 16:25 |
| CShadowRun | Daviey, so, tell me about your setup :P | 16:28 |
| CShadowRun | what do you use for TV reception? i've been told to wait for DVB-S2 so i can get the new satalite channels | 16:28 |
| Daviey | CShadowRun: DVB-S2 is live right now.. just can't get dual tunners :( | 16:30 |
| CShadowRun | Daviey, i heard that myth/linux doesn't support it yet | 16:30 |
| CShadowRun | and that i'd need to wait a couple of months | 16:30 |
| Daviey | O RLY | 16:30 |
| CShadowRun | do you have a working DVB-S2 setup? | 16:30 |
| Daviey | i don't no | 16:30 |
| CShadowRun | oh :P | 16:31 |
| Daviey | --> work | 16:31 |
| CShadowRun | what do you use? | 16:31 |
| Essobi | so anyone around running DVB-C? I need a crash course on the technology.. | 19:32 |
| Essobi | I've got two analog tuners running, but I can't get most of my channels on them and it's all low-def.. | 19:32 |
| baggar11 | Essobi I have a pair of dvb cards receiving OTA | 20:47 |
| Essobi | Ya? Hmm. | 20:52 |
