[15:09] <MythbuntuGuest92> Hello all
[15:10] <UKDAVE> I was wondering if any one could offer some help
[15:10] <UKDAVE> I have been trawling the net and various guides n' manuals for days now trying to get my WinTV Nota TD 500 remote working with mythbuntu
[15:10] <UKDAVE> I just cant seem to get my head around it
[15:12] <UKDAVE> Would any one be able to help at all ?
[16:20] <UKDAVE> is any one willing to setup my remote control / IR if I pay you?

[16:23] <UKDAVE> any one at alll ?
[16:26] <petre> I just installed mythbuntu, but aptitude can't seem to find any packages, e.g., I search for unzip and it finds nothing.
[16:27] <petre> /etc/apt/sources.list *looks* the same as on my jaunty laptop.
[16:27] <petre> Is mythbuntu's repo config different than a stock ubuntu?
[16:28] <petre> BTW, I also went into synaptic and clicked on reload, but it still finds no packages
[16:35] <petre> ok, never mind, it has started working now; not sure what changed.
[16:36] <superm1> petre, sources.list is the same as ubuntu
[16:36] <superm1> all mythbuntu packages are in the normal repos
[16:37] <petre> superm1, that's what it appeared to be.  But for some reason, things like "aptitude search xchat" were coming back  empty handed.
[16:37] <superm1> probably a corrupt apt cache
[16:37] <petre> And then just a moment ago, it started working.
[16:37] <petre> Ok, that sounds possible.
[16:38] <petre> I thought clicking on the reload button in synaptic would take care of that, but it didn't seem to.
[16:39] <petre> Regardless, it's working now.  (Machine probably saw me get on IRC on my laptop and figured it had better shape up ;-) )
[17:07] <UKDAVE> is any one able to help me configure my IR reciever please?
[17:07] <UKDAVE> I am willing to pay for help
[17:10] <darthanubis> UKDAVE, install and run the mythbuntu-control-center
[17:10] <darthanubis> MCC
[17:10] <darthanubis> search for it in synaptic
[17:10] <darthanubis> It will do the configuration for you
[17:11] <UKDAVE> ok darth that would be great :)
[17:11] <UKDAVE> do yuo want to connect ?
[17:13] <darthanubis> UKDAVE, keep the conversation here plz
[17:13] <UKDAVE> ok sure
[17:14] <UKDAVE> are you able to connect and configure the IR receiver and remote ?
[17:16] <UKDAVE> it seems I already have mythbuntu control centre installed
[17:16] <darthanubis> ok good
[17:16] <darthanubis> run the IR part of it
[17:17] <UKDAVE> where do i find the installed app?
[17:17] <UKDAVE> i mean, how do i launch MCC ?
[17:18] <UKDAVE> sorry Darth, im very new to all this :(
[17:20] <superm1> if you are on normal ubuntu it's in system->administration
[17:20] <superm1> darthanubis, i guess next time we can just paste http://mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu
[17:20] <superm1> forgot we had that
[17:20] <superm1> we probably have something like this too
[17:20] <superm1> !mythbuntu-control-centre
[17:20] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about mythbuntu-control-centre
[17:21] <superm1> !mcc
[17:21] <Zinn> Mythbuntu Control Centre, one of the biggest advantages of Mythbuntu.  You can configure a lot of normally complex tasks from one location.  You can find it in your System menu after installing Mythbuntu.
[17:21] <UKDAVE> sorry im back
[17:22] <UKDAVE> ok ive selected "hauppauge tv card" within the MCC
[17:22] <darthanubis> good
[17:22] <darthanubis> sounds like you have the same card I have
[17:22] <UKDAVE> whats next ?
[17:23] <UKDAVE> ok, i have the nova TD 500
[17:23] <darthanubis> all should be fine if you finish the intructions in MCC
[17:23] <darthanubis> ok I don't have that card
[17:23] <UKDAVE> can you check for me?
[17:23] <darthanubis> but just do what the MCC says
[17:23] <darthanubis> and no
[17:23] <UKDAVE> ive tried this already with no luck really
[17:23] <darthanubis> it's is all right there in gui form?
[17:23] <darthanubis> what is the problem?
[17:23] <darthanubis> well, I can't help beyond that, sorry
[17:24] <UKDAVE> yea ive selected the card from the list
[17:24] <UKDAVE> but the remote does not work still
[17:25] <superm1> you've gotta restart any relevant apps that would be using it too
[17:25] <superm1> like mythtv
[17:25] <UKDAVE> ok sure
[17:25] <UKDAVE> ill restart mythtv
[17:26] <UKDAVE> still nothing im afraid
[17:27] <UKDAVE> if any one is willing to connect to the PC and check it out for me i would pay you if you get it working
[17:29] <darthanubis> haha, that aint going to happen bub
[17:30] <darthanubis> just be patient, you'll get it working
[17:30] <darthanubis> it aint rocket science
[17:31] <UKDAVE> lol yea ive tried and tried
[17:31] <UKDAVE> just though it might be easier for some one who knows what they are doing and may be able to see where im going wrong
[17:33] <tgm4883> UKDAVE, thats a bad idea
[17:33] <UKDAVE> ok
[17:33] <UKDAVE> lol
[17:34] <tgm4883> you might get some malicous person on there
[17:34] <tgm4883> and you won't get any devs touching that box
[17:35] <UKDAVE> true, but im always here to pull the network cable :)
[17:36] <darthanubis> geez
[17:37] <tgm4883> except you wouldn't know what was going on in the background
