tripppyok. thanks. so if i change to a nvidia card. it should work?14:21
rhpot1991read the comments there are ways to work around it14:27
tripppyim a noob. i read all that. i didnt really see a fix, that was clear14:40
EssobiGood morning!14:42
tmktmy cpu usage is low..so don't get why its so choppy16:50
rhpot1991playback profiles?16:53
tmktyeah..i just tried all of them16:53
tmktbest result is CPU++16:53
tmktbut still choppy16:54
tmktnot as smooth as I had with the onboard ATI x210016:54
rhpot1991didn't see your original complaint anywhere16:54
tmkt10:53:14 AM) tmkt: Morning... bought a motherboard last week that had ATI x2100 chipset on it... buggy drivers but the video was smooth when It worked  - so instead I went and bought PCI Geforce 6200 - now I can't get smooth HD, from what I read before getting the 6200, was it would work fine, unfortunatly, that's not the case..any ideas?16:56
tmktHD video is the problem16:56
tmktlast thing I want to do is go get another video card17:00
rhpot1991sure you have closed source drivers enabled?17:03
rhpot19916200 should be good enough17:03
tmktyeah17:04
tmktxorg is drivers 'nvidia'17:04
tmktnvideo-1.8017:05
rhpot1991is your cpu high enough for HD?17:06

Zinntmkt: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.17:06
rhpot1991throw your xorg.conf in there17:06
tmktk17:06
rhpot1991I'll be heading to lunch shortly, but maybe someone else can poke at it if I'm gone17:06

tmktanother odd thing I noticed is if I'm recording..i can stil watch other channels..didn't think I'd be able to do that17:10
tmktbut right now only 2 channels are available17:10
rhpot1991multirec maybe17:10
tmktwhereas when I'm not recording I can access 20 channels17:11
rhpot1991sounds like it17:11
rhpot1991Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "True"17:11
rhpot1991        Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"17:11
rhpot1991I have in my device section as well17:11
tmktk..adding them17:11
rhpot1991this box I have Option "NVAGP" "1"17:13
rhpot1991, forget why I have that17:13
tmktthat is for AGP video card though isn't it?17:14
rhpot1991guess it doesn't auto detect with EDID properly for you?17:14
rhpot1991ya, I was just thinking out loud17:14
tmktwhat about that module glx stuff should I get rid of that?17:15
tmktwhat is EDID?17:15
rhpot1991if supported it should just auto detect everything from your TV17:16
tmktah I'm guessing it does17:16
tmktjust starting putting more info in there..when I bring up the nvideo-settings tool17:16
tmktit knows eveyrhint about my tv it seems17:17
rhpot1991should be able to just have a minimul config and let it detect the rest17:17

javatexanmorning all18:22
tmktmorning/afternoon to you sir18:24
javatexanI have a package dependency problem.18:24
javatexanI installed kompozer-dev and build-dep mozilla, now i have dependency problem The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnss3-dev: Depends: libnspr4-dev but it is not installed  AND xulrunner-1.9-dev: Depends: libnspr4-dev but it is not installed.  If i apt-get -f install, I get "dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libnspr4-dev_4.7.3-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/share/aclocal/nspr.m4', 18:27
javatexanany ideas on what to try next?18:27
javatexanI also tried sudo dpkg --configure -a18:28

javatexanautoclean and anything else I could find in ubuntu forums.  Is there a way to remove packages installed via apt-get install build-deps "blah"18:29

vissieyes you can uninstall with apt-get18:31
vissiehold on18:31
vissieapt-get remove packagename --> uninstall package18:31
vissieapt-get remove packagename --purge --> uninstall en remove files18:31
vissieits my first time to install Mythbuntu -  Just a quick question. What can the reason be that the "Channel Scanner" button is disabled?18:33

tmktdays of fighting and almost 100% satisfied with mythtv...just the HD video performance is annoying me18:54
tmktwould downgrading the nvidia drivers from 1.8 to 1.73 help?18:54
tmktor should I be looking at Modeline for a solution?19:01

rhpot1991tmkt: I don't much care for modlines19:33
tmkthmm19:34
rhpot1991and with that cpu/card combo I'd guess you'd want normal playback profile19:34
rhpot1991cpu++ or slim may be ok as well19:34
tmktok...yeah..right now none of the profiles are making much of a difference19:34
tmkttried mythdora, mythbuntu... right now just using intrepid + mythtv, had jaunty and mythtv yesterday19:35
tmktbut all giving the same problem19:35
tmktso right now I'm about to reboot with the 1.73 drivers19:35
tmktdon't see that helping19:35
tmktalso about to try this19:36
tmktsudo leafpad /etc/X11/XvMCConfig (replace with libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1)19:36
tmktthe only time I've had it perfect was with the Intrepid + on board ATI x2100 card19:37
tmktb ut the drivers on that were buggy, and the video playback wasn't stable..19:37
tmktit was smooth, but would crash mythtv out of nowhere, or display dual images19:38
tmktso I did a adys worth of research.and it seemed like the geforce 6200 would be a great card for this19:38
rhpot1991you shouldn't need XvMC with that CPU19:38
tmktyeah..the CPU is always at 10%19:39
tmktits barely getting a workout19:39
tmktusing DVI->HDMI19:39
rhpot1991check the logs for any useful information?19:40
rhpot1991!logs19:40
ZinnMythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/   You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.19:40
rhpot1991can't be an IO issues, or network issue or anything?19:40
tmktall on one machine19:45
tmktshould I enable compiz instead of metacity?19:45
tmktthings seem faster with compiz renabled19:46
rhpot1991compiz is useless there, and IIRC may cause some issues19:46
tmktyeah19:49
tmktdidn't make a difference19:49
tmktchecking logs19:51

tmkthmm..choppy audio when osd is on20:00
tmktHmm20:00
tmktshit20:01
Zinntmkt: Please watch your language.20:01
tmktits working now20:01
tmktkinda..osd is causing choppy sound20:01
tmktbut HD video is smooth right now20:01
rhpot1991tmkt: with XvMC?20:01
tmktI'm back on nvidia-1.820:02
tmkt: sudo leafpad /etc/X11/XvMCConfig (replace with libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1)20:02
tmktwith that20:02
rhpot1991grey OSD?20:02
tmktyeah20:02
tmktgrey osd20:02
rhpot1991ok hmmm, you shouldn't need XvMC with that CPU, and choppyness with the OSD normally occurs with an underpowered CPU20:04
tmktever annoying20:04
rhpot1991what version of ubuntu?20:04
tmkt8.1020:04
rhpot1991is this live tv or recordings?20:04
tmktlive tv20:05
rhpot1991try recordings20:05
tmktrecordings are fine too20:05
tmkt:D20:05
rhpot1991once upon a time there was a bug where live tv didn't choose playback profiles correctly and made HD not play right20:05
rhpot1991you might be hitting that bug20:05
tmktsomething weird had happened too20:06
tmktsomething happened to my settings20:06
tmktI had to go back into general and setup my audio settings20:06
rhpot1991I believe the patch was included in the weekly builds, I have no idea if yours would have it or not at this point20:06
tmktI've got the weekly fixes20:06
tmktmy audio settings went back to stereo20:06
tmktso put them back to 5.1 and passthrough20:06
tmktand all good20:06
tmktwhat is the grey OSD I remember reading about that during my searches today20:06
rhpot1991you get it when you are using XvMC20:07
rhpot1991basically the driver doesn't support colored textures there20:07
tmktah..ok..so how do I disable xvmc20:08
tmktSettings -> Playback ->Profiles?20:08
tmktanother question..when I'm looking at the listings guide20:11
tmktif I hit OK20:11
tmktit brings up info about the show, and recordings options20:11
tmkthow do I get it to just go to the channel20:11
rhpot1991undo the libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 change, or pick a playback provile that doesn't have it20:12
rhpot1991not sure about the guide sorry, ask in #mythtv-users20:13
tmktyeah..CPU+ works20:14
tmktprobably due to the libX thing20:14
tmktI tried Normal profile20:14
tmktand it because choppy again20:14
tmktseems like I need th libX20:14
tmktvmcn..20:14
tmktthank you sir20:19
rhpot1991no problem, glad you got it working in the end20:23
tmktyeah..23.5% CPU usage right now20:30
tmktwith HD golf on20:31
tmktgets choppy when any OSD stuff happens, but other then that all good20:31
rhpot1991you can enable fading effects for the OSD, might cut down on that some20:33
rhpot1991prob want to make sure that opengl is disabled for it as well20:33
tmktyes..the fadding in/out of the osd is a pain20:34
entraide-netpvrusb2 from http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.html (included with recent kernels). (from kernel 2.6.???)20:58
SHADOW_Vhow can i tell which recording is which in the recordings directory21:05
tmktyeah..21:19
tmktthat sucks21:19
