[02:29] <bsdfox> hi I'm running mythbuntu 9.04 and trying to connect to the backend with my gentoo-based frontends but I'm having a difficult time connecting to the database. any suggestions?
[02:40] <bsdfox> ended up having to grant my own permissions in mysql but seems to be working now. thanks for the good work
[04:02] <n00b> i want to vnc to my backend but forgot my password how do i reset it?
[04:05] <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
[04:06] <superm1> or logout/in
[04:09] <n00b> thanks

[10:23] <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?
[14:33] <MythbuntuGuest67> Setting up HDHomerun there is an information block that is used to enter your COUNTRY.  The USA is not a selection.  How can I change the selection to include Canada and USA for Cable?
[14:35] <MythbuntuGuest67> I setup Schedules Direct and update the listing but channel scanning produces no results.

[21:27] <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?
[21:28] <Diskord> a little knew
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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?
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <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?
[21:41] <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
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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> "
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <tgm4883> but i'll probably upgrade to 9.10 if 0.22 is in it
[21:49] <Diskord> attempting md5sum check
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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'
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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!
[22:25] <Diskord> I'm back
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <Diskord> segfault and then a kernel panic
[22:32] <Diskord> I don't even know where to start on troubleshooting this
[22:42] <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
[23:06] <darthanubis> tried to tell him
