[01:05] Oh - I'm using the 'fixed' weekly build repo. [02:56] what dvb-s card should i buy for Mythbuntu ? [03:01] Will the Hauppauge Wintv-Nova-s work? [03:02] Or what card would you recomend ? [07:33] anyone here? [07:35] anyone know a configuration that works with rtc0 wake up [11:03] 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 [11:04] i have also compiled the latest driver from here http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb [11:26] i installed freenx server. login from windows box over lan will authenticate but then it fails. anyone got it working? [14:27] Good Morning. :) [17:22] !help [17:22] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [18:36] 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? [18:42] neoteny_2nd, sounds like that would mean that the X server isn't starting [18:42] i'd look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for some hints [18:43] superm1, thanks. [18:44] neoteny_2nd, also try to boot up into the "Try Mythbuntu without any changes to my computer" mode [18:44] it would then fallback to bulletproof-x [18:44] rather than insisting upon ubiquity only mode running [18:49] 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 [18:50] neoteny_2nd, well did you see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like? [19:01] superm1, hmmm nothing in the Xorg log looks off. [19:03] i have two more machines like this one. i'll see if it will load on either of them. [19:16] superm1, plugged it into a monitor instead of the tv and it looks like it wants to finish the installation. [19:16] neoteny, ah that's good [19:16] so X didn't like starting up on a tv is all [19:18] yeah. but that's not good if it stays that way :) [19:23] 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? [19:52] 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! [20:02] Anyone here not busy? [20:03] i just have a stupid question about MythTV & Windows Networks [20:05] helps if you tell us what they question is [20:07] was waiting for some sort of reply [20:07] im wondering if MythTV will be able to see shared network folders that are on my WinPC [20:09] should be able to if you use samba [20:09] as far as I am aware anyway [20:10] TheSubaruJunkie: yes [20:10] !windows% [20:10] generally speaking should you be able to use your remove as a mouse? [20:10] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [20:11] neoteny_2nd: s/remove/remote/ ? [20:11] rhpot1991, yeah [20:14] neoteny_2nd: if you had one of them gyroscopic ones sure, a regular remote might be a bit tougher [20:14] any recommendations for a interface to a digital cable box [20:15] firewire if you can [20:15] drmacro: ^ [20:16] thanks for the help guys [20:17] i have a wii and googling makes me think lircmd should work, no? [20:17] TheSubaruJunkie: did you look at that link? [20:18] 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] no not yet, but i will [20:19] i just dont want to install a backend on my windows PC [20:19] and my frontend PC only has a 30gig HDD [20:19] rhpot1991, i don't have bluetooth but might get it if lircmd doesn;t do the trick [20:21] not sure how lirc would work at all, its not an IR device [20:22] 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] rhpot1991: I do believe there is a firewire port on the box...but, does myth know how to talk to it? [20:24] !firewire | drmacro [20:24] drmacro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire [20:25] rhpot1991: thanks! [20:26] np [20:31] ok. now for sound! [20:52] hi [20:54] I installed mythubuntu and I'm not able to load the mythtvfrontend.real. I get a grey and black squary screen... [20:54] I don't know what to do. [20:54] polux_, does mythtvbackend setup work [20:55] neither it does [20:57] is it a grey and black squary screen with an X for a cursor? [20:58] there is no cursor at all [21:00] and are the squares really really small? [21:01] do you want me to send you a screen capture ? [21:03] no thanks [21:04] I get a black screen with a grey rectangle at the bottom [21:06] i get the same thing [21:06] i got a black screen, with the outline of a rectangle in the center [21:07] an embossed rectangle [21:07] no text [21:07] exactly [21:09] this happend to me earlier when i installed Ubuntu + mythTV seperatly [21:09] this time I downloaed the .iso for Mythbuntu, and now im getting the same thing durring Setup [21:10] do you have a ATI video card ? [21:10] yeah [21:10] its a laptop [21:10] me too [21:10] with an x300 mobile chip [21:10] I think it's related to that... That's what I was kind of seeing on the web... [21:11] oh yeah? [21:11] lemme know whatyou come up with [21:12] when you hit enter, did you get a blank form looking screen? [21:13] yes [21:14] wierd [21:14] 52 people and i guess we're the only 2 who have heard of this problem [21:15] hehe [21:16] this is a test box though, and my real mediaPC runs a nvidia chip [21:16] maybe i will test it on that [21:17] maybe i will run the liveCD portion on the media box [21:17] yes try that [21:17] I reboot ! [21:17] see you later [21:17] you reboot? [21:17] did it work? [21:17] no [21:17] oh ok [21:17] hehe [21:17] i will stay here [21:21] everybody else here idle? [21:24] nope , but haven't had that problem so can't help [21:26] 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 [21:31] i just tried it on my mediabox, and i saw colors but no text [21:31] in MythTV [21:31] Mythbuntu wont load on my laptop anymore [21:34] i dont want to go back to Vista Media Center [21:34] but i guess I will if i have to [21:45] have you filed a bug in launchpad? [21:48] no clue what launchpad even is man [21:54] Hi guys. Which file specifies how the frontend is launched at startup? [21:54] http://launchpad.net [21:54] thanks seeker [21:54] im using google though, it seems to be more effective [21:54] I'm trying to increase the logging to troubleshoot... [21:55] chris_: you can start it from the command line [21:56] I cant remember the script that is launched from the menu [22:34] 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 [22:35] !blank% | neoteny_2nd [22:35] 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 [22:36] ok. [22:37] hmmm i don't remember setting up a recording directory [22:39] neoteny_2nd: should be in one of the steps in mythtv-setup [22:39] near the end of it [22:48] rhpot1991, didn't help [22:53] rhpot1991, but tv plays fine with vlc [22:59] i started from the command line, says 'timed out waiting for recorder to start. but i don't see any permission messages [23:27] yay i have tv [23:27] but no sound from the tv. sound works in other aps though :) [23:30] ok got sound.
