[01:05] <frogonwheels> Oh - I'm using the 'fixed' weekly build repo.
[02:56] <MythbuntuGuest61> what dvb-s card should i buy for Mythbuntu ?
[03:01] <MythbuntuGuest61> Will the Hauppauge Wintv-Nova-s work?
[03:02] <MythbuntuGuest61> Or what card would you recomend ?
[07:33] <fdlinux> anyone here?
[07:35] <fdlinux> anyone know a configuration that works with rtc0 wake up
[11:03] <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
[11:04] <Evil_Ether> i have also compiled the latest driver from here http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
[11:26] <mandje> i installed freenx server. login from windows box over lan will authenticate but then it fails. anyone got it working?
[14:27] <Essobi> Good Morning. :)
[17:22] <fdlinux> !help
[17:22] <Zinn> !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] <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?
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <neoteny_2nd> superm1, thanks.
[18:44] <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
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <superm1> neoteny_2nd, well did you see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like?
[19:01] <neoteny_2nd> superm1, hmmm nothing in the Xorg log looks off.
[19:03] <neoteny_2nd> i have two more machines like this one.  i'll see if it will load on either of them.
[19:16] <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
[19:18] <neoteny> yeah.  but that's not good if it stays that way :)
[19:23] <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?
[19:52] <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!
[20:02] <TheSubaruJunkie> Anyone here not busy?
[20:03] <TheSubaruJunkie> i just have a stupid question about MythTV & Windows Networks
[20:05] <Seeker`> helps if you tell us what they question is
[20:07] <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
[20:09] <Seeker`> should be able to if you use samba
[20:09] <Seeker`> as far as I am aware anyway
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <rhpot1991> neoteny_2nd: s/remove/remote/ ?
[20:11] <neoteny_2nd> rhpot1991, yeah
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <rhpot1991> firewire if you can
[20:15] <rhpot1991> drmacro: ^
[20:16] <TheSubaruJunkie> thanks for the help guys
[20:17] <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?
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:21] <rhpot1991> not sure how lirc would work at all, its not an IR device
[20:22] <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?
[20:24] <rhpot1991> !firewire | drmacro
[20:24] <Zinn> drmacro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire
[20:25] <drmacro> rhpot1991: thanks!
[20:26] <rhpot1991> np
[20:31] <neoteny_2nd> ok.  now for sound!
[20:52] <polux_> hi
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <polux_> neither it does
[20:57] <Seeker`> is it a grey and black squary screen with an X for a cursor?
[20:58] <polux_> there is no cursor at all
[21:00] <Seeker`> and are the squares really really small?
[21:01] <polux_> do you want me to send you a screen capture ?
[21:03] <Seeker`> no thanks
[21:04] <polux_> I get a black screen with a grey rectangle at the bottom
[21:06] <TheSubaruJunkie> i get the same thing
[21:06] <TheSubaruJunkie> i got a black screen, with the outline of a rectangle in the center
[21:07] <TheSubaruJunkie> an embossed rectangle
[21:07] <TheSubaruJunkie> no text
[21:07] <polux_> exactly
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <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...
[21:11] <TheSubaruJunkie> oh yeah?
[21:11] <TheSubaruJunkie> lemme know whatyou come up with
[21:12] <TheSubaruJunkie> when you hit enter, did you get a blank form looking screen?
[21:13] <polux_> yes
[21:14] <TheSubaruJunkie> wierd
[21:14] <TheSubaruJunkie> 52 people and i guess we're the only 2 who have heard of this problem
[21:15] <polux_> hehe
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <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
[21:21] <TheSubaruJunkie> everybody else here idle?
[21:24] <fdlinux> nope , but haven't had that problem so can't help
[21:26] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:34] <TheSubaruJunkie> i dont want to go back to Vista Media Center
[21:34] <TheSubaruJunkie> but i guess I will if i have to
[21:45] <Seeker`> have you filed a bug in launchpad?
[21:48] <TheSubaruJunkie> no clue what launchpad even is man
[21:54] <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...
[21:55] <Seeker`> chris_: you can start it from the command line
[21:56] <Seeker`> I cant remember the script that is launched from the menu
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <neoteny_2nd> ok.
[22:37] <neoteny_2nd> hmmm i don't remember setting up a recording directory
[22:39] <rhpot1991> neoteny_2nd: should be in one of the steps in mythtv-setup
[22:39] <rhpot1991> near the end of it
[22:48] <neoteny_2nd> rhpot1991, didn't help
[22:53] <neoteny_2nd> rhpot1991, but tv plays fine with vlc
[22:59] <neoteny_2nd> i started from the command line,  says 'timed out waiting for recorder to start.  but i don't see any permission messages
[23:27] <neoteny_2nd> yay i have tv
[23:27] <neoteny_2nd> but no sound from the tv. sound works in other aps though :)
[23:30] <neoteny_2nd> ok got sound.
