MythbuntuGuest63hello just had a question about setting up mythbuntu, I've been having a problem with the mythtv setup, which just opens solid grey boxes or just the outline of the box with no text or visible buttons so I can only exit the setup by pressing randomly.  I updated everything that came up under update manager and installed msttcorefonts as well.  I still can't figure out why the setup isnt displaying 04:53
superm1MythbuntuGuest63, are you using an ati driver?05:34
MythbuntuGuest63i installed using the open source driver but my video card is ati05:47
MythbuntuGuest63i first tried installing with the 'amd driver' option but when mythbuntu started up it wasnt displaying properly and i couldnt do anything with the system so i reinstalled using the open source driver05:48
superm1MythbuntuGuest63, there is a bug with the open source driver06:03

MythbuntuGuest63oh i see06:05
MythbuntuGuest63thanks ill have a read06:05
superm1look near the bottom because the old PPA workaround isn't applicable06:07
MythbuntuGuest63ok thanks, wow i guess linux + nvidia really is a lot better06:09
superm1well at some point this bug will be sorted out and -ati won't be half bad06:09
superm1but nvidia does provide hardware acceleration that ati doesn't06:09
MythbuntuGuest63hm which ill probably need given my system specs06:12
MythbuntuGuest63sorry one other question (quite new to linux), if im adding lines to .sh files, what command am i supposed to use in the command prompt?06:13
superm1MythbuntuGuest63, i'd open up the editor, "mousepad" on mythbuntu06:15
superm1gksudo mousepad FILE06:15
superm1it's a shame you're new and getting a soiled experience because of this bug though :(06:15
MythbuntuGuest63haha yes it is a bit discouraging, especially for a beginner to troubleshoot06:18

orificiumCan MythWeb be used on the latest trunk from the weekly builds?19:55
superm1should be20:02
orificiumI'm getting an error saying it can't access the data directory.  I wanted to make sure it was fixable before I dove in deeper.20:17
superm1there is a bug with that actually that is fixed with next week's builds20:18
superm1and will  be fixed in karmic20:18
superm1that directory just needs to be owned by www-data20:18
orificiumwhich directory is it referring to?20:18
orificiumsomething I can chmod on I assume?20:18
superm1chown rather than chmod i think20:19
superm1look at the last commit to lp:~ubuntu-mythtv/mythplugins/mythplugins-0.22 i think for bzr20:19
superm1and you can see how it gets fixed20:20
orificiumDo I have to fix those links? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mythtv/mythplugins/mythplugins-trunk-022/revision/9720:27
orificiumI see the chgrp www-data  on /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/data20:27
orificiumand chmod 77520:27
orificiumUltimately I'd like to try out that MythTV for the iPhone web app20:29
superm1you don't have to fix the links too, that was just a side effect of the way it was done20:35
superm1just chgrp and chmod20:35
