pmindhi, can anybody halp me to configure lirc? I followed the instruction on your howto, but I can't15:02
pmindI installed setserial and I set it to manual and the I created the file autoserial.conf and I put it into /etc15:05
pmind*help15:12
pmindin dpkg-reconfigure lirc I chose my remote controller (Pinnacle Pro) and at second step (IR trasmitted) I chose "Custom"15:20
pmindIs it better than I reconfigure lirc-modules-source?15:22
pmindanyone can help me? I f someone can, I could rewrite everything I wrote16:07
pmindcan anyone tell me if mythubunt need to compile lirc-modules-source?16:47
pmindpmind: can anyone tell me if mythubunt need to compile lirc-modules-source?17:50
cr3when I preseed mythbuntu/install_type string Frontend, I still seem to be prompted for Master Backend Connection Information18:02
cr3I looked at wubi and that's the same preseed value they use18:03
superm1cr3, so that's normal18:05
superm1unless you actually preseed the info to contact your backend18:05
superm1it can't be asked in wubi's GUI, so it's the one set of questions not preseeded in ubiquity18:05
superm1if you preseed a master backend/frontend instead, those questions aren't asked18:06
superm1pmind, you don't "need" to. it's there in case you needed a newer lirc driver.18:06
superm1they're built into the kernel18:06
orificium_mythif I have the weekly builds package installed and trunk enabled.  Will update manager automatically notify me of the latest builds or is there something I have to do?18:07
cr3superm1: that's what I used to have: ubiquity mythbuntu/install_type string Frontend Master Backend/Frontend18:08
superm1orificium_myth, yeah it will18:08
superm1cr3, yeah it all depends on what type of install you are trying to do :)18:08
superm1if you are just looking for an automated test, you probably want to set it to "ubiquity mythbuntu/install_type string Master Backend/Frontend"18:09
cr3superm1: oh, that was a typo on my part, I used to have that and I got prompted18:09
cr3superm1: I'll try again though, I might've been trying too many things at once18:09
superm1cr3, yeah i would recommend you take the preseed from wubi as a "basis" to understand what questions get asked, and go from there18:10
cr3superm1: that's what I've been doing since your suggestion the other day, thanks by the way, that made my life much easier18:10
=== orificium_myth is now known as orificium
superm1no prob :)18:11
orificiumHm, strange, since the first time I've did the sudo apt-get upgrade and it removed the old myth packages, and installed the new ones, I've yet to see any myth related changes in Update Manager.  And that was at least 15 days ago.18:11
superm1orificium, there was something wrong with the trunk builds for 2 weeks18:11
superm1so that coincides about correctly18:11
orificiumah ok18:11
superm1they should be fine today, and mirroring automatically to the US and UK mirrors within 6 hours18:12
pmindsuperm1: so if I use serial connection, should I load some modules? which one?18:18
superm1pmind, you might need lirc-serial then likely18:18
superm1just put it in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf if you are using a custom remote18:19
pmindin my lsmod there isn't lirc-serial. so, does it work if I put that module in hardware.conf?18:22
pmindsorry, if my questions are stupid!18:23
superm1i don't know if it will work, you'll have to try it18:23
superm1setting up a serial remote is unfortunately a lot of work generally, so you will probably need to mess around a lot18:23
superm1you are more likely to get some better results helping from a forum post TBH so that you can summarize your setup concisely since serial is so complex18:24

superm1best of luck :)18:25
rhp_Hi all. Yesterday I installed a fresh mythbuntu 9.04 and immediately after the weekly builds repos package. After that, I updated all updatable packages. Now I have a system that will not start mythfronend anymore.19:27
rhp_It seems that a number of themes are not updated, and they are incompatible with the trunk version.19:28
rhp_Any help?19:28
rhp_Also, many mythtv packages now have number 0.21.0+trunk...   I expected 0.22...19:29
orificiumI had to run mythfrontend -r19:37
orificiumit resets the theme to GANT I believe19:37
orificiumtry that19:37
rhp_Yup that works19:37
rhp_thx19:37
orificiumAnd the 0.21.0+trunk is normal19:37
orificiumsince .22 hasn't been officially released19:38
rhp_I did see packages on ppa with 0.22 in the name though?19:38
rhp_And it says trunk-0.22 in the apt-source lists19:38
orificiumI'm not sure of the reasons for all the naming conventions.  But I'm running mythbuntu trunk with .22 and a lot of the packages show up as .21  trunk 21261 I beieve.19:41
orificiumI hear a new build should be propagating now though. :)19:42
rhp_ok19:42
orificiumThe weekly builds have been inactive for the last two weeks.19:42
orificiumI've been using the Graphite theme - http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/theming/38626619:44
rhp_Another question: why does mythbuntu use x11vnc for remote access? For some reason that quite works for me. I never had problems with vino, though19:44
rhp_What does 'inactive' mean? No changes?19:44
gbutters_worknot working19:45
gbutters_workbuilder broken19:45
orificiumrhp_: There were some problems with the trunk builds for the last couple weeks.  But superm1 was telling me that was fixed and they should be mirroring over to the US and UK within the next 6 hours19:45
rhp_ok, clear enough19:48
orificiumI'm sure you could use Vino if you wanted to.19:48
orificiumAre you not able to vnc to your mythbuntu box?19:49
rhp_No19:49
rhp_Sure I could use vino, but I'd like things to work as much as possible 'out of the box'19:50
rhp_I was just wondering why mythbuntu uses x11vnc, while ubuntu seems to have settled on vino19:50
jarjarhello does anyone speack french?20:04
jarjari need help please20:04
orificiumrhp_: I believe Vino is packaged with Gnome hence why Ubuntu gets Vino.  Whereas Mythbuntu is XFCE20:21
orificiumjarjar: Your english looks good.  What is your question?20:23
rhp_orificium: nevertheless, installing vino and making an autostart entry makes for a smooth ride.20:31
rhp_With x11vnc I've seen a lot of trouble.20:32
rhp_vino would make a better default IMHO20:32
rhp_Anyway, I got it running myself now, so vnc works now.20:32
orificiumWhat are you using for tuners?20:33
orificiumI have a pcHDTV-5500 and a HDHomeRun.  Unfortunately I misplaced my power adapter for my HDHR when I moved recently.20:34
orificiumAnd even more unfortunate, it wasn't one of the defective ones that they are placing for free.20:34
orificium*replacing20:34
rhp_orifinium: are you asking me or jarjar?20:38
orificiumAsking you20:41
orificiumI'm curious about others experience with unencrypted QAM over their local cable lines.20:42
rhp_I've got 3 Hauppauge PVR tuners, 2x350 and 1x150.20:42
rhp_No HD content here (and I have no clue what QAM is...)20:43
orificiumQAM is the signalling cable companies use. Whereas ATSC is over-the-air digital20:43
orificiumwhat are you plugging up to your tuners?20:44
rhp_I'm still on old-fashion analog coaxial cable. And happy with it too. The PVRs make the analog signal into an mpeg2 stream, which works great.21:18
slaine_hey guys22:49
slaine_I've just upgraded from 9.04 to the latest 9.10 and I'm having some trouble getting mythfrontend to start22:49
slaine_Are there any known steps required to clear out old settings or anything ?22:50
squidlyslaine_: error logs?22:50
slaine_nothing obvious in /var/log/mythtv/mythtvfrontend.log22:51
squidlyslaine_: is the backend running?22:51
slaine_yeah22:52
slaine_and I can browse to mythweb too22:52
squidlyok22:52
squidlywhat is the error when you try to start up your front end?22:52
gbuttersi bet it is the theme is incompatable22:53
slaine_There's no error, it just gets so far and then seems to quit22:53
slaine_I'm guessing that too22:53
slaine_based on the logs, it's the only obvious answer22:53
slaine_http://pastebin.com/m2253af3922:53
slaine_hence the question about steps to reset old settings22:53
slaine_It's starting up MythUI with QT Painter22:54
squidlyslaine_: try running it from a terminal22:54
orificiumslaine_: Try mythfrontend -r22:54
orificiummight be a theme issue22:54
gbuttersdoes mot look to be a theme problem22:55
slaine_Floating point exception (core dumped)22:55
slaine_I'll try this time with -r22:55
slaine_can't see any core files to get a back trace22:57
slaine_What's the new default theme then22:57
orificiumI think it's going to be Terra, but is GANT for now?22:57
orificium-r should make it GANT22:58
gbuttersyes GANT and it is using it22:59
slaine_and does gant work ?22:59
squidlyyes22:59
orificiumyup22:59
squidlyslaine_: what version are you running?22:59

squidlythat is what I'm running23:06
orificiumUsing new themes and VDPAU pretty successfully23:06
slaine_nice23:06
slaine_I'm hoping it'll be ok on Via OpenChrome23:06
squidlyorificium: what good is VDAPU?23:06
orificiumoh yeah, had to enable nvidia propietary drivers too23:07
orificiumsquidly: if yuo have an nvidia 9000 series card, it'll off-load video processingto GPU23:07

squidlyno more requirement for nfs23:10
orificiumSG?23:10
squidlyStorage Groups23:10
orificiumah23:11
squidlyI've spent today working with them23:11
squidlygetting them working23:11
orificiumYeah i was reading up on them in the wiki page for transition to .2223:11
squidlyyea well I have it doing video and cover art too23:11
squidlyactually I'm doing the resets to my videos right now to do the cover art via myth protocol23:12
orificiumThe new metadata/cover art grabber is very cool.  Someties I have to hit W a few times though.23:12
slaine_gbutters: http://pastebin.com/m706e5e7523:13
squidlyorificium: it's just slow at times23:13
orificiumI should rename the videos to a better convention and I'd probably have fewer issues with the metadata grabber23:13
squidlyI've notice that23:13
orificiumsquidly: that's what I figured.23:13
orificiumI haven't yet grabbed any data for movies yet though.  TV shows mostly.23:14
squidlyeven the updates for the movies is a bit slow from the backend to the frontend23:14
orificiumsquidly: have you tried the Graphite theme yet?23:15
squidlynot yet23:15
orificiumI like it more than Terra.23:16
orificiumDownloaded a ton of hi-res background images for it.23:16
orificiumthere is a bug in it though for the edit metadata page.23:17
orificiumjust gotta modify the xml23:17
slaine_If I wanted to run mythfronted.real via gdb to trap the floating point exception, what parameters do I need to pass to it ?23:18
slaine_hmm, the bug seems to be in QT23:21
slaine_http://pastebin.com/m2b9e97b23:21
slaine_Huzzah, success23:35
slaine_removed libqt3-mt and mythstream (only package left that was depending on it) and I now see the GANT themed menu23:36
slaine_How do I install Terra and Graphite themes then, as I can't stand GANT23:36
slaine_there doesn't seem to be pre-built packages for them23:37
gbuttersinstall mythtv-themes23:40
slaine_I have done23:41
slaine_I was blind though, terra was in there23:41
slaine_I've switched it back to the mythbuntu theme though, as I guess I'm just used to that23:41
slaine_Hmmm23:47
slaine_XvMC-vld doesn't seem any better on this23:47
slaine_2009-09-02 23:46:30.908 VideoOutputXv: XvMC Adaptor Name: 'XV_SWOV'23:48
