[00:03] <josh_> I have an addon soundcard in addition to the onboard sound. Even though the onboard sound is disabled, ubunto's alsa config keeps picking it up as if it were active. How can I keep alsa from loading the drivers for the onboard chip?
[00:18] <dgs_> disabled in the bios?
[00:21] <pinkbox> i keep getting all these errors about i cant run stuff as root, even when it pops up and ask me for it
[00:22] <pinkbox> it ask me for the password to run like control center and then says it cant run it as root
[01:21] <williammanda> tgm4883, u round
[02:27] <castlec__> hello all.  I have mythbuntu running with the diskless server.  Before I started using the diskless server, I tested out remote front-ends and they worked fine.  I have since changed my machine to a static ip for the diskless server and can't get the front-end working.  No UPNP servers found.  Can anyone help?
[02:42] <robride> if anyone can help me get my tv card to work i would greatly appreciate it, i have a fresh install of jaunty 9.04, no myth installed yet
[02:43] <robride> myth hangs up right now when i run the frontend
[02:43] <robride> I have a hauppage pvr150 mce card
[02:43] <robride> I can load it in vlc but just static
[02:44] <robride> unable to change the channell
[02:44] <robride> I really just want it for live tv no recording at the moment

[10:55] <Technophil> Hi My Frontend keeps crashing,  log suggests *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0xabef7e37 ***
[10:57] <Technophil> Can anyone suggest what I do with this?
[15:49] <williammanda> tgm4883, u round?
[16:56] <Seeker`> does mythbuntu have VDPAU support?
[18:07] <tgm4883> williammanda, yea for a bit
[18:08] <tgm4883> Seeker`, not in 0.21, but if you run trunk it does
[18:08] <Seeker`> hmm
[18:09] <Seeker`> am going to be building a new mythtv box with an intel E5200 and an Asus P5N7A-VM (nvidia 9300 based) mobo
[18:10] <tgm4883> well you can run the weekly trunk builds to have 0.22, or 0.22 might be included in 9.10
[18:13] <Seeker`> how stable are the weekly trunk builds?
[18:16]  * Seeker` is hoping to be able to use audio over HDMI too
[18:16] <tgm4883> i'm not sure, I myself don't run trunk
[18:16] <tgm4883> foxbuntu, has a test box though
[18:17] <williammanda> tgm4883, I having trouble with the xorg on a intel 865 video machine.....
[18:17] <tgm4883> what issues?
[18:17] <williammanda> woeked ok in 8.10
[18:18] <williammanda> blue screen where the video should be,,,,sound is ok
[18:19] <williammanda> want xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log?
[18:20] <tgm4883> sure
[18:21] <williammanda> http://pastebin.com/m549302c6       Xorg log
[18:22] <williammanda> http://pastebin.com/m2c29db41    xorg.conf
[18:22] <tgm4883> what resolution are you running at
[18:24] <williammanda> 1440x900
[18:24]  * Seeker` is really looking forward to the better themes in 0.22
[18:25] <tgm4883> Seeker`, so is everyone else
[18:25] <williammanda> that log file looks like crap
[18:25] <tgm4883> Seeker`, you can track 0.22 progress here http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/roadmap
[18:26] <tgm4883> williammanda, do you have compiz enabled?
[18:27] <Seeker`> oooh, cool
[18:28] <williammanda> tgm4883, is that set under pref>appearance>visual effects? if so ...it is set to none
[18:28] <williammanda> gnome desktop
[18:28] <tgm4883> yea it's set there I believev
[18:29] <tgm4883> you might have to log out and back in to take effect
[18:29] <williammanda> its been set that way....I do that on install
[18:30] <tgm4883> williammanda, so all video is blue then?
[18:31] <williammanda> yes ,,,,where the video should be.....its all blue
[18:34] <williammanda> 4:3 or 16:9
[18:36] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, no need to run trunk to get HDMI Audio/Video
[18:36] <tgm4883> williammanda, wasn't this working yesterday?
[18:36] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, trunk is "trunk" it likely o be unstable
[18:37] <tgm4883> +1 to that
[18:37] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, although at this point it hasn't been too bad for my testing
[18:37] <Seeker`> foxbuntu: I want to playback 1080p, and it seems that VDPAU is the only sensible way of donig that without spending £100 more on a processor
[18:37] <tgm4883> IIRC, non of the mythbuntu devs run it for production
[18:37] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, what processor?
[18:37] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, as in which one do you have ow
[18:38] <foxbuntu> now*
[18:38] <Seeker`> I'm going to be getting an Intel C2D E5200
[18:38] <Seeker`> which is about £50
[18:39] <foxbuntu> you should be able to step up one or two steps in the intel chain for not allot more
[18:39] <Seeker`> it has been suggested that you would need something more like an E8400 to guarantee smooth playback, which is about £130
[18:39] <tgm4883> there are some unofficial 0.21 VDPAU packages, but I must stress that you will NOT get support for them
[18:40] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, for a Frontend + Backend system, I would agree
[18:40] <Seeker`> thats what  I'm planning on building
[18:41] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, I would  spend the extra cash on the E8400, you will be much happier with it in the long run
[18:41] <Seeker`> VDPAU would seem to be a way of doing it without spending an extra £80 on a system that I'm spending < £300 on in total
[18:41] <Seeker`> hmm
[18:42] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, VDPAU wont help with commflagging and other backend tasks
[18:42] <williammanda> tgm4883, sorry didn't see your post.....this is another machine...just using it foe a frontend
[18:44] <williammanda> tgm4883, this is my upgrade to 9.04 weekend for everything
[18:44] <Seeker`> foxbuntu: I would actually be tempted to buy the E8400 and use it for my main desktop, and relegate my desktops E6750 to my mythtv box
[18:44] <Seeker`> maybe
[18:45] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, why? do you game on your main PC?
[18:45] <Seeker`> yes
[18:46] <Seeker`> and work on stuff like a raytracer
[18:46] <foxbuntu> you could likely get away with the e7400 in your myth box
[18:47] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, ultimately, its up to you at this point, my advice is to spend the extra money and not rely on VDPAU
[18:48] <foxbuntu> VDPAU is a great feature, but in a FE + BE box, it should not be relied upon
[18:50] <Seeker`> 7400 should be able to cope with 1080p as well?
[18:51] <foxbuntu> depending o the number of streams and such...I think it __should__ be ok
[18:53] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, or get a Q8200
[18:53] <foxbuntu> bout the same price as the E8400
[18:54] <Seeker`> hmm
[18:54] <Seeker`> only 2.33GHz instead of 3GHz though
[18:56] <Seeker`> does mythtv spread the decoding over multiple cores?
[18:59] <foxbuntu> yup
[18:59] <foxbuntu> works fine
[19:00] <foxbuntu> I have stress tested the E8400 and Q6600 in myth boxes and have had great results
[19:03] <Seeker`> was either of them a clear choice over the other?
[19:07] <foxbuntu> the Q6600 preformed far better than the E8400 in HD video and CommFlagging, but that to be expected between Dual-Core and Quad Core
[19:09] <Seeker`> so a Q8200 may actually be a better chouce than the E8400?
[19:10] <foxbuntu> yes
[19:10] <Seeker`> interesting
[19:11] <foxbuntu> clock speed is no longer the only factor in processor selection
[19:13] <tgm4883> hasn't been for a while
[19:13] <foxbuntu> nope
[19:15] <tgm4883> williammanda, is the blue video in the menu's, or during playback, or both?
[19:19] <williammanda> menus are ok....only playback of any live tv or video
[19:25] <Seeker`> foxbuntu: may go for the Q8200 then, its £10 cheaper than the E8400
[19:26] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, you will be wise to do so
[19:26] <Seeker`> foxbuntu: what proportion of the time do you find trunk unusable?
[19:29] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, I had to fight trunk orignally because of the themes...I really suggest staying away from it for a production system, lots of changes get pulled in on a weekly basis
[19:29] <Seeker`> hmm ok
[19:30] <tgm4883> williammanda, whats the output of  "glxinfo | grep direct"
[19:30] <Seeker`> I guess with a Q8200 I can do comm flagging and HD playback without VDPAU, which negated the need for rtunk
[19:32] <williammanda> tgm4883,  glxinfo | grep direct
[19:32] <williammanda> sorry
[19:32] <williammanda> direct rendering: Yes
[19:32] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, indeed
[19:34] <Seeker`> that'll be an Asus P5N7A-VM, Q8200, 2GB corsair RAM, Hitatchi Deskstar 1TB, Sony DVDRW and an OCZ power supply :)
[19:34] <Seeker`> £367
[19:34] <foxbuntu> williammanda, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[19:35] <foxbuntu> Seeker`, not bad...good system
[19:37] <Seeker`> would be even cheaper if i lived in the US it seems
[19:37] <tgm4883> foxbuntu, he did

[20:01] <Seeker`> I really should try to do some mythtv development
[21:26] <williammanda> t
[21:27] <williammanda> tgm4883,  any luck with xorg.conf?
[21:37] <williammanda> 6
[22:23] <coops> hey
[22:23] <coops> I'm trying to connect my television set to ubuntu
[22:23] <coops> I bought a VGA -> Scart cable, that I've plugged in
[22:24] <coops> but the TV doesn't give any picture, no matter what I set in display
[22:29] <coops> i've been going at this for weeks, if anyone had some time to help me it would be greatly apprichiated
[22:30] <coops> my TV out didn't work with the open source ati drivers, the propetary ati drivers where broken, and now my VGA to scart cable doesn't seem to work at all
[22:35] <williammanda> Heys guys.....is there another way to designate any primary tuner other than during the installation and the recording setup?
[22:38] <tgm4883> williammanda, no idea on the xorg.conf
[22:38] <tgm4883> williammanda, what are you intending to do with primary tuners?
[22:40] <williammanda> I have two tuners in the MB
[22:41] <williammanda> pchdtv 5000 and Dvico hdtv gold pcie....
[22:41] <williammanda> The pcie tuner always defualts to #1....matter if I install mythtv with only the pchdtv tuner
[22:43] <williammanda> when I install the pcie tuner after the pchdtv tuner...the pcie tuner becomes #!
[22:49] <dgs_> oh, williammanda: if you recall yesterday talking bout my 1080p jagged font issue - i changed the mode from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080 and it seems to have improved a little, but still far from smooth. the dpi is now 100x100 (which i think is what it should be). i'm pretty sure the tv at least is running at 1080p now as it come up with that on the screen when I jump to that res... any other ideas as to what I could try?
[23:00] <coops> can anyone please help me
[23:01] <coops> all I'm trying to do is connect a tv to either TV out on my radeon card, or to vga using a VGA <-> Scart cable
[23:01] <tgm4883> !weekend | coops
[23:01] <Zinn> coops: It's a weekend.  Often on weekends a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question.  Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the week.
[23:01] <coops> no it's not weekend, it's monday..
[23:01] <tgm4883> it's a weekend in the US ;)
[23:02] <tgm4883> where a majority of the users are
[23:02] <tgm4883> actually, almost a majority
[23:02] <tgm4883> williammanda, there are some settings to tell live tv to use the last tuner, that may be what you are looking for
[23:02] <tgm4883> williammanda, actually, it's the tuner that is least likely to be used next for scheduled recordings
[23:10] <williammanda> I think I found a way around it.....swapped tuners in MB & SB
[23:11] <williammanda> the pcie tuner has to have a higher video signal
[23:12] <williammanda> tgm4883, any other avenues I could take for the xorg?
[23:12] <tgm4883> williammanda, you could try the xorg-edgers PPA
[23:13] <tgm4883> https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[23:13] <tgm4883> other than that I don't know
[23:14] <williammanda> k ty for your help
