| MythbuntuGuest79 | How can I check it my capture card is working ? I have an Asus PVR416 I can see video and I know that my audio works cause I can play DVD's mp3's etc but TV there is nothing | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| MythbuntuGuest37 | seems like latest build broke vdpau live tv | 01:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | was working fine with the previous | 01:52 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | either a settings page or some blocky broken textures like old stuff in video card ram | 01:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | just vdpau | 01:54 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | same as here http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/392395 | 01:56 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | recorded stuff plays fine with vdpau, just livetv exhibits this | 01:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | 0.21.0+trunk21261-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3 | 01:57 |
| MythbuntuGuest37 | shame, last build finally fixed livetv hdpvr for me | 01:58 |

| ryan__ | Trying to install latest trunk build. Not sure where I'm going wrong. I install a fresh copy of mythbuntu 9.04 32-bit. remove all myth* packages, do update/upgrade and then sudo apt-get install mythtv | 03:52 |
| ryan__ | mythfrontend begins to load, I'm seeing Err - udevinfo failed to start and various theme errors | 03:54 |
| ryan__ | oh yeah, install mythbuntu-repos package after removing myth packages | 03:54 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest37, well does that workaround work at least maybe? | 03:55 |

| orificium | I have mythbuntu 9.04 installed, installed mythbuntu repos package, set to -trunk PPA testing and ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, rebooted, now what? | 06:00 |
| tgm4883 | orificium, uh, now your done? | 06:03 |
| orificium | hm | 06:09 |
| orificium | but it hasn't updated any of the mythtv packages | 06:09 |
| orificium | there are still uprades available. | 06:10 |
| orificium | sudo apt-get upgrade says "the following packages have been kept back" | 06:10 |
| orificium | and lists the mythtv packages | 06:11 |
| orificium | dist-upgrade ays mythcontrol will be removed, and qt4 packages ill be added, mthtv will be updated | 06:11 |
| orificium | but either option leads to the mythbackend not starting any more | 06:12 |
| orificium | the same issue described here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7011972&postcount=56 | 06:15 |
| superm1 | it's normal that mythcontrols is removed | 06:16 |
| superm1 | and qt4 is added | 06:16 |
| superm1 | just try removing mytharchive before you get started if you are hitting that | 06:17 |
| orificium | superm1: mytharchive and mytharchive-data are part of what its upgrading. Are you saying I shold remove those immediately after its done upgrading the rest of the packages? | 06:20 |
| orificium | I also see it upgrading the older themes I suppose that is normal? | 06:20 |
| superm1 | orificium, you might want to remove it to do the upgrade and add it back in | 06:21 |
| superm1 | after your done with the upgrade | 06:21 |
| superm1 | upgrading themes is normal | 06:21 |
| orificium | what else will I need to do as part of the upgrade? | 06:23 |
| orificium | besides running apt-get dist-upgrade now | 06:24 |
| superm1 | that should be it | 06:25 |
| superm1 | everything else should be pretty automatic | 06:25 |
| superm1 | surprised that mytharchive thing is still coming up though. i thought that we fixed that in packaging | 06:25 |
| orificium | got the following error: Setting up mythtv-database (0.21.0+trunk21261-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3) ... | 06:46 |
| orificium | Failed to connect to database (incorrect admin password) | 06:46 |
| orificium | and: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 06:47 |
| orificium | during sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade | 06:47 |
| orificium | mythfrontend fails to load with several errors mentioning udevinfo failed to sart | 06:49 |
| orificium | and missing themeinfo.xml | 06:50 |
| orificium | this is the fourth time I believe I've tried this in several different orders all with the same result | 06:51 |
| orificium | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/mb215834 | 06:55 |
| orificium | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d20533dc0 | 06:57 |
| superm1 | orificium, that's not actually an error if you have an existing DB | 07:07 |
| superm1 | (the first one) | 07:07 |
| superm1 | as for the second, you need to reset your theme to GANT | 07:07 |
| superm1 | it's because the mythbuntu 8.04-9.04 theme doesn't work with trunk | 07:07 |
| orificium | superm1: how do reset it to GANT? | 07:19 |
| orificium | "mythfrontend -r" did the trick | 07:21 |
| superm1 | orificium, as for those udevinfo errors, i just submitted a patch upstream for that | 07:26 |
| superm1 | http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6866 | 07:26 |
| orificium | what do that mean? | 07:27 |
| orificium | *does | 07:28 |
| superm1 | if upstream accepts my patch, next week's build shouldn't have any problems in the log about udevinfo | 07:29 |
| superm1 | it's going to possibly stop DVD detection from working until it's fixed | 07:29 |
| sebrock | I have a headless backend and need to run mythtv-setup on that, I installed a vncserver but all I get when connecting is an empty window and mouse. Cant even start a terminal. What o I need? | 11:47 |
| Essobi_ | morning. | 14:23 |
| sebrock | nevermind fixed it | 14:39 |
| sebrock | is mythweather broken again? | 14:39 |
| superm1 | in which release? | 14:42 |
| sebrock | just taken from repo | 14:43 |
| superm1 | i understand that. what release | 14:43 |
| superm1 | 9.04/9.10 | 14:43 |
| superm1 | upstream 0.21/trunk | 14:44 |
| sebrock | err, this is a backend clean install om Jaunty. So obviously some manual work needs to be done | 14:44 |
| sebrock | stable | 14:44 |
| sebrock | 9.04 | 14:44 |
| superm1 | i wasn't aware it was broke at all for jaunty | 14:44 |
| superm1 | run from a terminal and take a look at output | 14:44 |
| sebrock | well, it is the satellite image that I don't get | 14:44 |
| sebrock | and the current condition image is just "unknown"... taken from BBC | 14:45 |
| sebrock | ok, what is the input to bbc script? | 14:45 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure off hand. that's why i was hoping running from a terminal would give hints whats up :) | 14:45 |
| sebrock | I will run it from terminal... just dont know the ins ans outs of the script | 14:46 |
| sebrock | I guess it takes location etc as input | 14:46 |
| sebrock | looks like I should be having a variable that is opt_u and locid | 14:50 |
| sebrock | no clue | 15:08 |
| sebrock | it can't fetch the europe satellite image | 15:20 |
| sebrock | superm1, u there? | 15:25 |
| sebrock | I found this /data/cache/EuropeSatellite-0 was not found on this server. | 15:25 |
| sebrock | however the image IS there and is owned by www-data | 15:25 |
| sebrock | dunno why it says it is not there | 15:26 |
| sebrock | infact even /data is not accessable | 15:27 |
| sebrock | which is very strange as it finds the channel icons in the same dir | 15:29 |

| noii | playing back dvd ISOs via mythvideo has, the last couple of times i've tried to use it, been really glitchy video | 18:20 |
| superm1 | hopefully that's better with trunk (0.22) | 18:37 |
| rhpot1991 | noii bad rips? | 18:50 |
| rhpot1991 | I play mine just fine | 18:50 |
| rhpot1991 | I had some bandwidth issues while using the internal player on a 2nd fronend though, switched to xine after that | 18:51 |
| noii | rhpot1991: they've played fine in the past, this is just recently. it's the same sort of glitching i see if my reception is bad on a digital recording which is odd | 19:16 |
| noii | i'm guessing it's a playback problem, but my front end and backend are on one machine, so not sure what's changed | 19:17 |
| rhpot1991 | noii: I've seen similiar with bad dvds or very old ones that I was unable to make good rips of | 19:17 |
| noii | my ethernet connection isn't working at the moment too, so i wonder if there's something more general going wrong | 19:18 |
| noii | rhpot1991: yeah, but these same rips have played fine in the past | 19:18 |
| noii | it's literally every iso i try and play | 19:18 |
| rhpot1991 | noii: ah ok, check your logs and see if there are any hints in there | 19:18 |
| noii | which log should i be looking at? | 19:19 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd watch resources as its playing as well | 19:19 |
| noii | i'm a little new to debugging this sort of thing, how can i monitor resources? | 19:19 |
| noii | brb | 19:20 |
| UnderSampled | Hello. I need help setting up a tuner card. | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | if you are using the internal player then /var/log/mythtv | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | grrr, mythfrontend.log in there | 19:20 |
| UnderSampled | really, I just need help. :) | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | noii: ssh in and run top | 19:20 |
| UnderSampled | I have a tuner card, but when I choose "watch tv" nothing happens. obviously setting up a tuner card takes a little bit of work | 19:29 |
| UnderSampled | but I don't know the smallest bit where to start | 19:30 |
| rhpot1991 | UnderSampled: nothing as in black screen then back to the menu? | 19:40 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: yes, although the black screen only shows for a tiny fraction of a second | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | !blank% | UnderSampled | 19:41 |
| Zinn | UnderSampled: 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 | 19:41 |
| noii | ah, ok, top, i remember that, and i was poking around in mythfrontend.log before. i'll have another look at these | 19:42 |
| noii | thanks | 19:42 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: ok, but I didn't change anything. this is from a frsh install | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991 | UnderSampled: could be you didn't setup your tuner correctly either, check the logs | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991 | !logs | 19:48 |
| Zinn | MythTV 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. | 19:48 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f2b44e6d4 | 19:50 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: where is the default recording directory? | 19:53 |
| rhpot1991 | UnderSampled: /var/lib/mythtv/recordings | 19:59 |
| rhpot1991 | which should be pretty good | 19:59 |
| rhpot1991 | you normally only have permission issues if you set up a different directory | 19:59 |
| UnderSampled | how do you find what permissions a dir has? | 20:00 |
| UnderSampled | nvm | 20:03 |
| sebrock | Which permissions should the default recording dir have? | 20:04 |
| sebrock | if I start mythbackend with /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend It does not work, if started with sudo mythbackend it works | 20:05 |
| sebrock | dont understand why | 20:05 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: so, do you have any idea on how to configure my tuner? | 20:32 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: it is not on the list of "tuners that work without any setup", but it is a hauppage | 20:33 |
| UnderSampled | Hello qcjn | 20:45 |
| qcjn | hi | 20:46 |
| qcjn | going good | 20:46 |
| qcjn | never managed to make going my pvr-150 on ubuntu | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991 | sebrock: init script should be run as sudo | 20:51 |
| rhpot1991 | UnderSampled: look for documentation on the tuner | 20:51 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: where would it be? | 20:51 |
| rhpot1991 | UnderSampled: what tuner? | 20:51 |
| sebrock | rhpot1991, I run it with sudo | 20:52 |
| sebrock | but only running sudo mythbackend | 20:52 |
| sebrock | works | 20:52 |
| sebrock | the init.d script somehow does not allow access to my recordingsdir | 20:53 |
| sebrock | really strange | 20:53 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: I am having trouble finding the model without opening the case | 20:56 |
| rhpot1991 | sebrock: make sure that mythtv owns the dir, and its set to 775 | 20:57 |
| rhpot1991 | the init script will run the backend as mythtv | 20:58 |
| sebrock | I did all that | 21:00 |
| sebrock | does not work | 21:00 |
| sebrock | I posted in the ubuntu general help forum, please consider answering there | 21:00 |
| sebrock | tnx bye | 21:01 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: I finnaly found it :) | 21:32 |
| UnderSampled | rhpot1991: from dmesg: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d65063497 | 21:32 |
| UnderSampled | (model name is in there) | 21:32 |
| rhpot1991 | ah hvr-1600 | 21:32 |
| rhpot1991 | IIRC that should work out of the box anymore | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | hit up google, check wiki.mythtv.com | 21:33 |
