| MythbuntuGuest61 | what dvb-s card should i buy for Mythbuntu ? | 02:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest61 | Will the Hauppauge Wintv-Nova-s work? | 03:01 |
| MythbuntuGuest61 | Or what card would you recomend ? | 03:02 |
| fdlinux | anyone here? | 07:33 |
| fdlinux | anyone know a configuration that works with rtc0 wake up | 07:35 |
| Evil_Ether | I have Ubuntu 9.04 and a nova-s dvb card mythtv fails to recognise it and dmesg shows a frontend and dvb_register failure. logs at http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m44e35901 | 11:03 |
| Evil_Ether | i have also compiled the latest driver from here http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb | 11:04 |
| mandje | i installed freenx server. login from windows box over lan will authenticate but then it fails. anyone got it working? | 11:26 |
| Essobi | Good Morning. :) | 14:27 |

| neoteny_2nd | i'm trying to install 9.04 and it's hanging at * Starting Ubiquity. the posts i've found about ubiquity are all from before the release and claim to have been fixed. where should start looking? | 18:36 |
| superm1 | neoteny_2nd, sounds like that would mean that the X server isn't starting | 18:42 |
| superm1 | i'd look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for some hints | 18:42 |
| neoteny_2nd | superm1, thanks. | 18:43 |
| superm1 | neoteny_2nd, also try to boot up into the "Try Mythbuntu without any changes to my computer" mode | 18:44 |
| superm1 | it would then fallback to bulletproof-x | 18:44 |
| superm1 | rather than insisting upon ubiquity only mode running | 18:44 |
| neoteny_2nd | superm1, i did that and it's hanging at the same point. i wonder if it's the builtin unichrome crappy card that's causing me grief | 18:49 |
| superm1 | neoteny_2nd, well did you see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like? | 18:50 |
| neoteny_2nd | superm1, hmmm nothing in the Xorg log looks off. | 19:01 |
| neoteny_2nd | i have two more machines like this one. i'll see if it will load on either of them. | 19:03 |
| neoteny | superm1, plugged it into a monitor instead of the tv and it looks like it wants to finish the installation. | 19:16 |
| superm1 | neoteny, ah that's good | 19:16 |
| superm1 | so X didn't like starting up on a tv is all | 19:16 |
| neoteny | yeah. but that's not good if it stays that way :) | 19:18 |
| drmacro | trying to figure out my first attempt at building a myth box. Confused about video card to get. Have digital cable(hd), blue ray, receiver (hd). do I need an analog card? | 19:23 |
| neoteny_2nd | installing using a video monitor and then switching to the tv seems to have done the trick. now to get the rest of it set up! | 19:52 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | Anyone here not busy? | 20:02 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i just have a stupid question about MythTV & Windows Networks | 20:03 |
| Seeker` | helps if you tell us what they question is | 20:05 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | was waiting for some sort of reply | 20:07 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | im wondering if MythTV will be able to see shared network folders that are on my WinPC | 20:07 |
| Seeker` | should be able to if you use samba | 20:09 |
| Seeker` | as far as I am aware anyway | 20:09 |
| rhpot1991 | TheSubaruJunkie: yes | 20:10 |
| rhpot1991 | !windows% | 20:10 |
| neoteny_2nd | generally speaking should you be able to use your remove as a mouse? | 20:10 |
| Zinn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 20:10 |
| rhpot1991 | neoteny_2nd: s/remove/remote/ ? | 20:11 |
| neoteny_2nd | rhpot1991, yeah | 20:11 |
| rhpot1991 | neoteny_2nd: if you had one of them gyroscopic ones sure, a regular remote might be a bit tougher | 20:14 |
| drmacro | any recommendations for a interface to a digital cable box | 20:14 |
| rhpot1991 | firewire if you can | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | drmacro: ^ | 20:15 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | thanks for the help guys | 20:16 |
| neoteny_2nd | i have a wii and googling makes me think lircmd should work, no? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | TheSubaruJunkie: did you look at that link? | 20:17 |
| rhpot1991 | neoteny_2nd: you can make a wiimote talk to your box with bluetooth, I never got far enough to work it into mythtv though, should be doable | 20:18 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | no not yet, but i will | 20:18 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i just dont want to install a backend on my windows PC | 20:19 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | and my frontend PC only has a 30gig HDD | 20:19 |
| neoteny_2nd | rhpot1991, i don't have bluetooth but might get it if lircmd doesn;t do the trick | 20:19 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure how lirc would work at all, its not an IR device | 20:21 |
| neoteny_2nd | rhpot1991, not for the wii for a regular remote. if lircmd works with a regular remote that's enough for me i think | 20:22 |
| drmacro | rhpot1991: I do believe there is a firewire port on the box...but, does myth know how to talk to it? | 20:22 |
| rhpot1991 | !firewire | drmacro | 20:24 |
| Zinn | drmacro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire | 20:24 |
| drmacro | rhpot1991: thanks! | 20:25 |
| rhpot1991 | np | 20:26 |
| neoteny_2nd | ok. now for sound! | 20:31 |
| polux_ | hi | 20:52 |
| polux_ | I installed mythubuntu and I'm not able to load the mythtvfrontend.real. I get a grey and black squary screen... | 20:54 |
| polux_ | I don't know what to do. | 20:54 |
| SHADOW_V | polux_, does mythtvbackend setup work | 20:54 |
| polux_ | neither it does | 20:55 |
| Seeker` | is it a grey and black squary screen with an X for a cursor? | 20:57 |
| polux_ | there is no cursor at all | 20:58 |
| Seeker` | and are the squares really really small? | 21:00 |
| polux_ | do you want me to send you a screen capture ? | 21:01 |
| Seeker` | no thanks | 21:03 |
| polux_ | I get a black screen with a grey rectangle at the bottom | 21:04 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i get the same thing | 21:06 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i got a black screen, with the outline of a rectangle in the center | 21:06 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | an embossed rectangle | 21:07 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | no text | 21:07 |
| polux_ | exactly | 21:07 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | this happend to me earlier when i installed Ubuntu + mythTV seperatly | 21:09 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | this time I downloaed the .iso for Mythbuntu, and now im getting the same thing durring Setup | 21:09 |
| polux_ | do you have a ATI video card ? | 21:10 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | yeah | 21:10 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | its a laptop | 21:10 |
| polux_ | me too | 21:10 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | with an x300 mobile chip | 21:10 |
| polux_ | I think it's related to that... That's what I was kind of seeing on the web... | 21:10 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | oh yeah? | 21:11 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | lemme know whatyou come up with | 21:11 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | when you hit enter, did you get a blank form looking screen? | 21:12 |
| polux_ | yes | 21:13 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | wierd | 21:14 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | 52 people and i guess we're the only 2 who have heard of this problem | 21:14 |
| polux_ | hehe | 21:15 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | this is a test box though, and my real mediaPC runs a nvidia chip | 21:16 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | maybe i will test it on that | 21:16 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | maybe i will run the liveCD portion on the media box | 21:17 |
| polux_ | yes try that | 21:17 |
| polux_ | I reboot ! | 21:17 |
| polux_ | see you later | 21:17 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | you reboot? | 21:17 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | did it work? | 21:17 |
| polux_ | no | 21:17 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | oh ok | 21:17 |
| polux_ | hehe | 21:17 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i will stay here | 21:17 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | everybody else here idle? | 21:21 |
| fdlinux | nope , but haven't had that problem so can't help | 21:24 |
| fdlinux | having other problem with waking up on rtc alarm , mythbuntu won't work here but just installed fedora 10 and did tests and that works | 21:26 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i just tried it on my mediabox, and i saw colors but no text | 21:31 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | in MythTV | 21:31 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | Mythbuntu wont load on my laptop anymore | 21:31 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | i dont want to go back to Vista Media Center | 21:34 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | but i guess I will if i have to | 21:34 |
| Seeker` | have you filed a bug in launchpad? | 21:45 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | no clue what launchpad even is man | 21:48 |
| chris_ | Hi guys. Which file specifies how the frontend is launched at startup? | 21:54 |
| Seeker` | http://launchpad.net | 21:54 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | thanks seeker | 21:54 |
| TheSubaruJunkie | im using google though, it seems to be more effective | 21:54 |
| chris_ | I'm trying to increase the logging to troubleshoot... | 21:54 |
| Seeker` | chris_: you can start it from the command line | 21:55 |
| Seeker` | I cant remember the script that is launched from the menu | 21:56 |
| neoteny_2nd | i think i finished set up but when i go to watch tv the screen goes black for about 30 seconds and then comes back to the menu where i selected watch tv | 22:34 |
| rhpot1991 | !blank% | neoteny_2nd | 22:35 |
| Zinn | neoteny_2nd: If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | 22:35 |
| neoteny_2nd | ok. | 22:36 |
| neoteny_2nd | hmmm i don't remember setting up a recording directory | 22:37 |
| rhpot1991 | neoteny_2nd: should be in one of the steps in mythtv-setup | 22:39 |
| rhpot1991 | near the end of it | 22:39 |
| neoteny_2nd | rhpot1991, didn't help | 22:48 |
| neoteny_2nd | rhpot1991, but tv plays fine with vlc | 22:53 |
| neoteny_2nd | i started from the command line, says 'timed out waiting for recorder to start. but i don't see any permission messages | 22:59 |
| neoteny_2nd | yay i have tv | 23:27 |
| neoteny_2nd | but no sound from the tv. sound works in other aps though :) | 23:27 |
| neoteny_2nd | ok got sound. | 23:30 |
