| bsdfox | ended up having to grant my own permissions in mysql but seems to be working now. thanks for the good work | 02:40 |
| n00b | i want to vnc to my backend but forgot my password how do i reset it? | 04:02 |
| superm1 | vncpasswd | 04:05 |
| superm1 | save the password to ~/.vnc/ | 04:05 |
| superm1 | there is a file in there | 04:05 |
| superm1 | and then restart | 04:05 |
| superm1 | or logout/in | 04:06 |

| cumulus007 | Hi, I've just completed the Dutch translation of the Mythbuntu Control Centre... are there any packages left that can be translated and are mythbuntu-specific? | 10:23 |

| Diskord | hello all, anyone around? | 21:27 |
| darthanubis | !anyone | 21:27 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about anyone | 21:27 |
| darthanubis | Diskord, new to IRC I see? | 21:27 |
| Diskord | a little knew | 21:28 |
| Diskord | err new | 21:29 |
| Diskord | lol | 21:29 |
| darthanubis | that is cool | 21:29 |
| Diskord | having an issue, purchased a HDHomeRun and trying to convert an old windows P4 Box over to Mythbuntu | 21:29 |
| Diskord | I downloaded 9.04, burned the iso, slapped it in the machine | 21:29 |
| darthanubis | "convert"? | 21:29 |
| Diskord | it boots up fine | 21:29 |
| darthanubis | ok? | 21:29 |
| Diskord | remove windows, install mythbuntu | 21:29 |
| Diskord | when I click install | 21:30 |
| Diskord | I get the mythbuntu logo, with the bar that bounces back and forth | 21:30 |
| Diskord | bounces for a while, then just freezes up | 21:30 |
| Diskord | let it sit for a long, long, long time | 21:30 |
| Diskord | then it comes up with a page full of... I have no idea what it is | 21:30 |
| Diskord | do_page_fault +0x341/0x790 | 21:31 |
| Diskord | ? kmap_atomic_prot+0x43/0xe0 | 21:31 |
| Diskord | basically, it crashes | 21:31 |
| darthanubis | do you have any onther experience installing linux? | 21:31 |
| Diskord | it's just a standard P4 box (it's an HP box), GeForce 5200 | 21:32 |
| Diskord | I have installed Linux a few times | 21:32 |
| darthanubis | good | 21:32 |
| Diskord | so what I wanted to know was if there was a way to get in to the grub menu or something | 21:32 |
| Diskord | and change some of the options | 21:32 |
| darthanubis | I have never used a "mythbuntu"disk before | 21:32 |
| darthanubis | I don't see the point | 21:32 |
| Diskord | binstall ubuntu first, then apt-get myth? | 21:32 |
| darthanubis | I just install ubuntu proper, then the mythtv suite | 21:32 |
| Diskord | ok | 21:32 |
| darthanubis | that's just me | 21:33 |
| darthanubis | never had an issue | 21:33 |
| Diskord | well it's obvious this mythbuntu install cd isn't workin... | 21:33 |
| darthanubis | your mileage may vary | 21:33 |
| darthanubis | I don't like all these different names for the same stuff | 21:33 |
| darthanubis | It is a waste of time and resources and only seems to serve to confuse people | 21:34 |
| Diskord | downloading 9.04 | 21:34 |
| darthanubis | gl | 21:34 |
| Diskord | it's just an apt-get for the myth suite right? | 21:34 |
| darthanubis | yup | 21:34 |
| Diskord | okay | 21:34 |
| Diskord | never have used myth beforef | 21:34 |
| darthanubis | apt-get install either mythbuntu-foo | 21:34 |
| darthanubis | or mythtv | 21:35 |
| Diskord | rom there will I configure stuff (like I have a USB IR Remote receiver+remote I wanted to try and use) | 21:35 |
| darthanubis | or mythtv-backend | 21:35 |
| Diskord | will I need to configure it in ubuntu first, or will myth ake care of it? | 21:35 |
| darthanubis | install the MCC (mythbuntu controll centre) | 21:35 |
| darthanubis | it will do all the configuring for you | 21:35 |
| Diskord | ok | 21:35 |
| darthanubis | likek the remote | 21:35 |
| darthanubis | like* | 21:36 |
| Diskord | the machine I am setting up I want to be both backend/frontend | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | thats fine | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | my myth machine is the backend frontend and my desktop | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | :) | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | runs like a champion | 21:36 |
| Diskord | what package should I look for then? | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | I told you | 21:36 |
| Diskord | just straight apt-get mythtv | 21:36 |
| darthanubis | yup | 21:36 |
| Diskord | okay | 21:37 |
| darthanubis | once you open synaptic it will be OBVIOUS | 21:37 |
| Diskord | wasn't sure if mythtv mythtv-backend mythbuntu-foo were all different or the same | 21:37 |
| darthanubis | install EVERYTHING myth* | 21:37 |
| Diskord | okay | 21:37 |
| darthanubis | "foo" is a place holder | 21:37 |
| darthanubis | no app is named "foo" | 21:37 |
| Diskord | yeah, I know | 21:37 |
| Diskord | I know | 21:37 |
| Diskord | foo and bar | 21:37 |
| darthanubis | :) | 21:38 |
| darthanubis | right | 21:38 |
| Diskord | I just meant I didn't know if there was a specific app I needed, or if I needed all of them | 21:38 |
| darthanubis | don't mean to sound condescending, don't know what you know, youo know?;) | 21:38 |
| Diskord | haven't used the ubuntu installer really much ever | 21:38 |
| darthanubis | it is a no brainer | 21:38 |
| Diskord | I come from a Red Hat, slackware, and a little debian background | 21:38 |
| Diskord | my first ubuntu machine was just a few months ago | 21:38 |
| darthanubis | but many seem to have issue it seems form the #ubuntu channel | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | use MCC to configure the machine | 21:39 |
| tgm4883 | it will grab the packages it needs | 21:39 |
| Diskord | ok | 21:40 |
| Diskord | I just wish this mythbuntu cd worked | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | whats wrong with it? | 21:40 |
| Diskord | instead of waiting for this ubuntu iso to download :P | 21:40 |
| Diskord | it boots up | 21:40 |
| Diskord | I select english | 21:40 |
| Diskord | I select "install myth" | 21:40 |
| tgm4883 | Did you verify your burn? | 21:40 |
| Diskord | no | 21:41 |
| tgm4883 | so what happens after you install myth? | 21:41 |
| Diskord | but I did do a "check disc for defects" after the first time it hung | 21:41 |
| Diskord | well I click install | 21:41 |
| Diskord | it goes to the screen with the mythbuntu logo and there is a bouncing bar that bounces left and right | 21:41 |
| Diskord | does that for... 10-15 seconds | 21:41 |
| Diskord | then freezes up | 21:41 |
| Diskord | if I leave it at that screen for... 10 minutes, finally it dumps out what looks like a huge page fualt | 21:42 |
| Diskord | but no worthwhile info that I could discern from the screen | 21:42 |
| Diskord | was trying to find out if there was a more "verbose" install option | 21:42 |
| Diskord | instead of the bouncing bar, if there was a way I could see what it was doing when it hangs and dies | 21:42 |
| Diskord | but the only thing I see is a safe graphics mode (still hangs), use driver disc (don't have one that I know of) and a OEM install (haven't tried that yet, but not sure why it would help me) | 21:43 |
| tgm4883 | sounds like a bad burn/iso | 21:43 |
| tgm4883 | 9.04? | 21:43 |
| Diskord | yeah | 21:43 |
| Diskord | I can try another burn | 21:44 |
| Diskord | it's not hard | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | verify the iso first | 21:44 |
| Diskord | ok | 21:44 |
| Diskord | how do Iverify the iso? | 21:44 |
| Diskord | I know how to verify the burn | 21:44 |
| tgm4883 | are you on a linux machine? | 21:44 |
| darthanubis | md5 checksum | 21:44 |
| Diskord | but are you meaning do a crc check on the iso? | 21:45 |
| darthanubis | yup | 21:45 |
| Diskord | I'm on a mac | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | grab the md5sum file, then do "md5sum -c MD5SUM" | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | at least, I think the name of the file is MD5SUM | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | actually, it's probably | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | "md5sum -c mythbuntu-9.04-MD5SUM | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | " | 21:45 |
| tgm4883 | Diskord, what hardware? | 21:46 |
| tgm4883 | tuner, vid card? | 21:46 |
| Diskord | vid card is a pci geforce 5200 | 21:46 |
| Diskord | but it also has a built in vid card that I am not using | 21:46 |
| Diskord | capture card is actually a HDHR | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 21:47 |
| Diskord | (HDHomeRun) | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | yea I know | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | I don't recall if the 9.04 problems also effect nvidia and ati cards | 21:47 |
| Diskord | out of the 5200 I am just using DVI to HDMI in to the plasma | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | the new xorg in 9.04 if F-ing stuff up | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | Personally, I run 8.04 on my backend | 21:47 |
| tgm4883 | but i'll probably upgrade to 9.10 if 0.22 is in it | 21:48 |
| Diskord | attempting md5sum check | 21:49 |
| Diskord | wow, this is slow :p | 21:51 |
| Diskord | I suppose reading every byte isn't the quickest | 21:51 |
| tgm4883 | it shouldn't take terribly long | 21:51 |
| Diskord | checksum matches | 21:51 |
| Walzmyn | I'm new to setting up mythbuntu, it dosen't seem to be detecting my incoming signal, how can i re-run the setup? | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | Walzmyn, from a command line, do 'mythtv-setup' | 21:52 |
| Walzmyn | tgm4883: oh, and I thought it would be obscure. I shoulda just tried that | 21:53 |
| tgm4883 | Diskord, try burning the disk slow | 21:53 |
| tgm4883 | Walzmyn, yep, you can also start it from MCC | 21:53 |
| tgm4883 | Diskord, so burn the disk slow and try again | 21:53 |
| Walzmyn | MCC? | 21:53 |
| tgm4883 | mythbuntu-control-centre | 21:53 |
| Walzmyn | oh, that was my other question. I'm used to KDE, where do you adjust screen resolution and the like in XFCE/Myth? | 21:54 |
| tgm4883 | Walzmyn, what vid card? | 21:54 |
| Walzmyn | nvidia | 21:54 |
| tgm4883 | from MCC you can launch the nvidia tool | 21:55 |
| tgm4883 | it's nvidia-settings I think | 21:55 |
| Walzmyn | tgm4883: it's an older on, don't remember the specifics | 21:55 |
| tgm4883 | and IIRC, needs to be run as root | 21:55 |
| Walzmyn | ok, I'm familiar with that. KDE's got something on top of it | 21:55 |
| Walzmyn | Thankyouverymuch. Soon as my wife wakes up (couch in living room) I'll give it a try | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | Walzmyn, np | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | FYI, you can run mythtv-setup over ssh if you like | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | ssh backendip -X -Y | 21:56 |
| tgm4883 | then just mythtv-setup | 21:57 |
| Walzmyn | hmm | 21:57 |
| tgm4883 | anyway, off to replace my cable crimper that the directv guy stole | 21:57 |
| Walzmyn | HA! | 21:57 |
| Diskord | I'm back | 22:25 |
| Diskord | so checked MD5 sum (verified) | 22:26 |
| Diskord | did another burn, slow and did verification on the burn (passed) | 22:26 |
| Diskord | tried again, still crashed | 22:26 |
| Diskord | so pulled out an external USB DVD drive, booted up off that | 22:26 |
| Diskord | same crash | 22:26 |
| Diskord | so I am running memtest right now, just for sanity to make sure it isn't my memory | 22:26 |
| Diskord | I did a ctr-alt-f1 during the boot, to view the actual progresswhe | 22:27 |
| Diskord | when it went to load the drivers there were a ton of SQUASHFS errors | 22:27 |
| Walzmyn | diskord when is it crashing? | 22:28 |
| Diskord | put disk in, boots up, select language as english, select "install mythbuntu" and during the loading screen it crashes | 22:28 |
| Diskord | memtest has now passed 102% | 22:29 |
| Diskord | Pass complete, no errors | 22:29 |
| Walzmyn | will it run if you use the "try mythbuntu without instlaling" option? | 22:29 |
| Diskord | no | 22:29 |
| Diskord | It's just a GeForce 5200 | 22:29 |
| Diskord | that is on the HCL | 22:29 |
| Walzmyn | above my head, bud. | 22:30 |
| Diskord | so trying without installing | 22:30 |
| Walzmyn | :( | 22:30 |
| Diskord | did ctr-alt-f1 | 22:30 |
| Diskord | watching the verbose report of the boot | 22:30 |
| Diskord | crashed | 22:30 |
| Diskord | gah | 22:30 |
| Diskord | so frustrating | 22:30 |
| Diskord | segfault and then a kernel panic | 22:31 |
| Diskord | I don't even know where to start on troubleshooting this | 22:32 |
| Diskord | I guess I will try an Ubuntu install now | 22:42 |
| Diskord | and see if I can apt-get myth from there | 22:42 |
| Diskord | would rather install mythbuntu... but that doesn't seem to be working | 22:42 |
| darthanubis | tried to tell him | 23:06 |
