[00:12] 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 [01:52] seems like latest build broke vdpau live tv [01:52] was working fine with the previous [01:54] either a settings page or some blocky broken textures like old stuff in video card ram [01:54] just vdpau [01:56] same as here http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/392395 [01:57] recorded stuff plays fine with vdpau, just livetv exhibits this [01:57] 0.21.0+trunk21261-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3 [01:58] shame, last build finally fixed livetv hdpvr for me [02:47] !help [02:47] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [02:47] !status [02:47] I am alive.

[03:52] 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 [03:54] mythfrontend begins to load, I'm seeing Err - udevinfo failed to start and various theme errors [03:54] oh yeah, install mythbuntu-repos package after removing myth packages [03:55] MythbuntuGuest37, well does that workaround work at least maybe? === bogus is now known as Guest17244 [06:00] 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? [06:03] orificium, uh, now your done? [06:09] hm [06:09] but it hasn't updated any of the mythtv packages [06:10] there are still uprades available. [06:10] sudo apt-get upgrade says "the following packages have been kept back" [06:11] and lists the mythtv packages [06:11] dist-upgrade ays mythcontrol will be removed, and qt4 packages ill be added, mthtv will be updated [06:12] but either option leads to the mythbackend not starting any more [06:15] the same issue described here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7011972&postcount=56 [06:16] it's normal that mythcontrols is removed [06:16] and qt4 is added [06:17] just try removing mytharchive before you get started if you are hitting that [06:20] 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] I also see it upgrading the older themes I suppose that is normal? [06:21] orificium, you might want to remove it to do the upgrade and add it back in [06:21] after your done with the upgrade [06:21] upgrading themes is normal [06:23] what else will I need to do as part of the upgrade? [06:24] besides running apt-get dist-upgrade now [06:25] that should be it [06:25] everything else should be pretty automatic [06:25] surprised that mytharchive thing is still coming up though. i thought that we fixed that in packaging [06:46] got the following error: Setting up mythtv-database (0.21.0+trunk21261-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu3) ... [06:46] Failed to connect to database (incorrect admin password) [06:47] and: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [06:47] during sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade [06:49] mythfrontend fails to load with several errors mentioning udevinfo failed to sart [06:50] and missing themeinfo.xml [06:51] this is the fourth time I believe I've tried this in several different orders all with the same result [06:55] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/mb215834 [06:57] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d20533dc0 [07:07] orificium, that's not actually an error if you have an existing DB [07:07] (the first one) [07:07] as for the second, you need to reset your theme to GANT [07:07] it's because the mythbuntu 8.04-9.04 theme doesn't work with trunk [07:19] superm1: how do reset it to GANT? [07:21] "mythfrontend -r" did the trick [07:26] orificium, as for those udevinfo errors, i just submitted a patch upstream for that [07:26] http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/6866 [07:27] what do that mean? [07:28] *does [07:29] if upstream accepts my patch, next week's build shouldn't have any problems in the log about udevinfo [07:29] it's going to possibly stop DVD detection from working until it's fixed [11:47] 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? [14:23] morning. [14:39] nevermind fixed it [14:39] is mythweather broken again? [14:42] in which release? [14:43] just taken from repo [14:43] i understand that. what release [14:43] 9.04/9.10 [14:44] upstream 0.21/trunk [14:44] err, this is a backend clean install om Jaunty. So obviously some manual work needs to be done [14:44] stable [14:44] 9.04 [14:44] i wasn't aware it was broke at all for jaunty [14:44] run from a terminal and take a look at output [14:44] well, it is the satellite image that I don't get [14:45] and the current condition image is just "unknown"... taken from BBC [14:45] ok, what is the input to bbc script? [14:45] i'm not sure off hand. that's why i was hoping running from a terminal would give hints whats up :) [14:46] I will run it from terminal... just dont know the ins ans outs of the script [14:46] I guess it takes location etc as input [14:50] looks like I should be having a variable that is opt_u and locid [15:08] no clue [15:20] it can't fetch the europe satellite image [15:25] superm1, u there? [15:25] I found this /data/cache/EuropeSatellite-0 was not found on this server. [15:25] however the image IS there and is owned by www-data [15:26] dunno why it says it is not there [15:27] infact even /data is not accessable [15:29] which is very strange as it finds the channel icons in the same dir === Cy-4- is now known as Cy-4 [18:20] playing back dvd ISOs via mythvideo has, the last couple of times i've tried to use it, been really glitchy video [18:37] hopefully that's better with trunk (0.22) [18:50] noii bad rips? [18:50] I play mine just fine [18:51] I had some bandwidth issues while using the internal player on a 2nd fronend though, switched to xine after that [19:16] 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 [19:17] 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] noii: I've seen similiar with bad dvds or very old ones that I was unable to make good rips of [19:18] my ethernet connection isn't working at the moment too, so i wonder if there's something more general going wrong [19:18] rhpot1991: yeah, but these same rips have played fine in the past [19:18] it's literally every iso i try and play [19:18] noii: ah ok, check your logs and see if there are any hints in there [19:19] which log should i be looking at? [19:19] I'd watch resources as its playing as well [19:19] i'm a little new to debugging this sort of thing, how can i monitor resources? [19:20] brb [19:20] Hello. I need help setting up a tuner card. [19:20] if you are using the internal player then /var/log/mythtv [19:20] grrr, mythfrontend.log in there [19:20] really, I just need help. :) [19:20] noii: ssh in and run top [19:29] 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 [19:30] but I don't know the smallest bit where to start [19:40] UnderSampled: nothing as in black screen then back to the menu? [19:41] rhpot1991: yes, although the black screen only shows for a tiny fraction of a second [19:41] !blank% | UnderSampled [19:41] 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 [19:42] ah, ok, top, i remember that, and i was poking around in mythfrontend.log before. i'll have another look at these [19:42] thanks [19:48] rhpot1991: ok, but I didn't change anything. this is from a frsh install [19:48] UnderSampled: could be you didn't setup your tuner correctly either, check the logs [19:48] !logs [19:48] 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. [19:50] rhpot1991: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f2b44e6d4 [19:53] rhpot1991: where is the default recording directory? [19:59] UnderSampled: /var/lib/mythtv/recordings [19:59] which should be pretty good [19:59] you normally only have permission issues if you set up a different directory [20:00] how do you find what permissions a dir has? [20:03] nvm [20:04] Which permissions should the default recording dir have? [20:05] if I start mythbackend with /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend It does not work, if started with sudo mythbackend it works [20:05] dont understand why [20:32] rhpot1991: so, do you have any idea on how to configure my tuner? [20:33] rhpot1991: it is not on the list of "tuners that work without any setup", but it is a hauppage [20:45] Hello qcjn [20:46] hi [20:46] going good [20:46] never managed to make going my pvr-150 on ubuntu [20:51] sebrock: init script should be run as sudo [20:51] UnderSampled: look for documentation on the tuner [20:51] rhpot1991: where would it be? [20:51] UnderSampled: what tuner? [20:52] rhpot1991, I run it with sudo [20:52] but only running sudo mythbackend [20:52] works [20:53] the init.d script somehow does not allow access to my recordingsdir [20:53] really strange [20:56] rhpot1991: I am having trouble finding the model without opening the case [20:57] sebrock: make sure that mythtv owns the dir, and its set to 775 [20:58] the init script will run the backend as mythtv [21:00] I did all that [21:00] does not work [21:00] I posted in the ubuntu general help forum, please consider answering there [21:01] tnx bye [21:32] rhpot1991: I finnaly found it :) [21:32] rhpot1991: from dmesg: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d65063497 [21:32] (model name is in there) [21:32] ah hvr-1600 [21:33] IIRC that should work out of the box anymore [21:33] hit up google, check wiki.mythtv.com [21:33] !forums [21:33] The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. [21:33] will be helpful as well [21:34] rhpot1991: thank you. you are mighty helpfull [21:35] I have diskless mythbuntu frontends, but when i try to reboot them, i get a squashfs error and must manually turn them off. How can I resolve this? [22:09] how important is acpi for watching videos? [22:14] I have diskless mythbuntu frontends, but when i try to reboot them, i get a squashfs error and must manually turn them off. How can I resolve this? [22:36] UnderSampled: you need to run mythsetup and setup you tuner card
