[06:42] <dllllx> hi all
[06:45] <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?
[06:46] <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
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <superm1> check dmesg then for ivtv related errors
[06:51] <dllllx> none unfortunately :(
[06:52] <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...
[06:53] <dllllx> also...would it then not recognize anything?
[06:53] <dllllx> dmesg shows it recognizes the card completely
[06:54] <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
[06:55] <dllllx> ok Ill try, but...wouldnt a badly seated card result in at least some error in loading the drivers and recognizing it?
[06:56] <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 :)
[06:57] <dllllx> anything else I should try before I power it down?
[06:59] <dllllx> btw..any other utils around for testing the video?
[07:00] <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
[07:01] <dllllx> what is the command line tool called?
[07:01] <superm1> v4l2-ctl or maybe v4l-ctl
[07:01] <superm1> i forget
[07:16] <dllllx> weird
[07:16] <dllllx> it worked...but now I get static
[07:17] <superm1> check the freq table that you have set
[07:17] <superm1> and do a channel scan etc
[07:18] <dllllx> missing sound
[07:18] <superm1> make sure you get sound otherwise from an existing file
[07:18] <superm1> such as using aplay etc
[07:19] <dllllx> ahh good idea
[07:19] <dllllx> one sec
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <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
[07:25] <dllllx> alsamixer fails
[07:25] <dllllx> maybe it didnt recognize the sound...its integrated onto the board...
[07:26] <superm1> make sure it's enabled in the bios
[07:26] <superm1> and check lspci see if it's listed there
[07:27] <dllllx> would it show if its integrated onboard in lspci?
[07:28] <superm1> yes
[07:28] <superm1> it's still a pci device
[07:28] <dllllx> arg reboot time
[07:28] <dllllx> brb :)
[07:30] <dllllx> was on in bios
[07:31] <dllllx> kernel didnt load/see it I guess
[07:31] <superm1> well is it in lspci?
[07:32] <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
[07:33] <dllllx> i remember sound working on this thing ages ago...
[07:33] <dllllx> odd
[07:35] <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
[07:36] <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
[07:43] <dllllx> this is a pain
[07:55] <dllllx> lspnp shows the sound card
[07:55] <dllllx> its an ISA card
[07:55] <superm1> ugh!
[07:56] <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
[08:02] <dllllx> fixed
[08:02] <dllllx> weird
[08:02] <dllllx> not sure how it worked though
[08:03] <dllllx> umm
[08:03] <dllllx> only root can play music
[08:03] <dllllx> permission problem?
[08:04] <hugolp> Hi, live TV does not work in any of the frontends, I believe is the database. Anyone can help?
[08:06] <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
[08:10] <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
[08:15] <dllllx> superm1: where can I change the default sond device in mythfrontend?
[08:15] <dllllx> sound device
[08:18] <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
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <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
[08:21] <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
[08:24] <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
[08:25] <dllllx> thnx for the help superml
[08:26] <superm1> np, night dllllx
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <hugolp> ok, and one last thing
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <hugolp> ok, I will create a soft link
[08:48] <hugolp> thanks a lot
[08:48] <superm1> yup
[10:56] <hot_wheelz> hi what kernel v is Mythbuntu 9.04 running by default?
[11:04] <henkpoley> hot_wheelz: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview#Linux%20kernel%202.6.28
[11:08] <hot_wheelz> henkpoley so Mybuntu runs the kernel version as regular Ubuntu 9.04 then right?
[11:09] <henkpoley> hot_wheelz: yup default kernel, they even use ubuntu's own repositories
[11:10] <henkpoley> hot_wheelz: you could install ubuntu and then just install mythbuntu-desktop and you could do mostly the same things
[11:11] <henkpoley> I'm not sure if the mythbuntu CD installer does some automagic detection stuff, that might be missing then
[11:25] <hot_wheelz79> sorry guys i fell off
[11:27] <hot_wheelz79> my issue is i am runnig a  DNTV Live Dual Hybrid PCI-E S2 anyone know them?
[11:32] <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?
[11:33] <henkpoley> hot_wheelz: tried reading `dmesg` ?
[11:33] <henkpoley> Like `dmesg | grep saa` on the commandline
[11:50] <hot_wheelz79> henkpoley ok then what that will tell you if they exist right?
[11:59] <hot_wheelz79> henkpoley i have to go i'll try it and get back to you
[13:30] <oobe> superm1, remember you gave me bzr link for trunk do you have the address for svn fixes
[13:41] <oobe> found it
[13:52] <Essobi> Morning.
[13:52] <Essobi> Meh..
[13:53] <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/
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <henkpoley> There are other intel gfx problems/fixes mentioned on that page
[15:28] <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 ?
[15:47] <Essobi> henkpoley: I already downgraded the video driver.

[15:50] <CShadowRun> anyone had any luck getting an ati remote wonder to work properly with mythbuntu?
[15:51] <CShadowRun> most of the keys don't do anything (although they show up in xev)
[16:17] <Daviey> hey CShadowRun
[16:18] <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/
[16:20] <CShadowRun> correction, looks like i have sucess :D
[16:21] <CShadowRun> yup, sucess, yay :D
[16:22] <Daviey> \o/
[16:22] <Daviey> what was it?
[16:23] <CShadowRun> i didn't use lircd.conf, hehe
[16:23] <CShadowRun> i didn't realize it required 2 config files to get it alive
[16:24] <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
[16:25] <CShadowRun> loving the web panel...oh the streaming fun :P
[16:28] <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
[16:30] <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
[16:31] <CShadowRun> oh :P
[16:31] <Daviey> --> work
[16:31] <CShadowRun> what do you use?
[19:32] <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..
[20:47] <baggar11> Essobi I have a pair of dvb cards receiving OTA
[20:52] <Essobi> Ya? Hmm.
