Howserthis mouse problem is drving me mad. I have tried everything I can think of, for what should be a simple problem. the mouse is simply slow as hell02:09
ZinnHowser: Please watch your language.02:09
Howsersorry :) its been a long day of mouse configuration02:10
Howserits a gyration mce mouse, that's the only thing "odd". it worked great before I updated to 9.0402:11
HowserI am sitting right next to the computer vnc'ing into it just so I can move the mouse at civilized speeds02:13
Howserno one has any ideas?02:52
Howsercould someone tell me how to pass a command to boot time. I don't see grub.conf like usual on this and found a possible solution to the issue http://www.digitalpeer.com/id/slow02:53
rhpot1991Howser: I think /boot/grub/menu.lst is what you want03:50
Howserthanks, ill try that. freash installs the way they are, im tackleing another problem at the moment03:51
MythbuntuGuest38Hi. I was looking through the guide and the author said run from ATI. If I get a MB with an ATI chipset (ATI Radeon HD 4200), will I have issues? I haven't purchased anything yet, so I'm not locked in to anything yet04:38

superm1make sure you are on the most recent version of the mythbuntu theme too16:32
squidlyI will do that16:33
squidlyI kept getting "cant find theme:..."16:33
squidlyI did an update earlier today16:33
squidlylet me try now that the stream is removed16:33
gbutters_worksquidly, cant find mainmenu.xml????16:37
williammandaI noticed the other day after looking at my frontend log that the theme was having a problem......couldn't find the theme in my home directory (called for themes but the actual dir is themecache) so it goes to usr/share/mythtv/themes/mythbuntu-8.04-wide/base.xml16:38
squidly< squidly> sphery: I keep getting 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Unable to load window 'mainmenu' from menu-ui.xml16:38
squidly00:24 < squidly> 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Couldn't find mainmenu.xml for theme 'blue'16:38
squidlythose where the error sI was getting16:38
squidlynot any more though16:38
squidlyit seems to be working16:38
superm1yeah so it was mythstream doing it to ya16:38
squidlythat was this morning16:38
squidlynot lastn ight16:39
squidlynight*16:39
superm1gbutters, i've merged the jamu stuff into mythvideo and removed it from the mythbuntu theme branch and uploaded that all last night16:40
gbutters_worksquidly, the missing mainmenu.xml was from mondays bad build. that was fixed with yestersays build16:41
gbutters_worksuperm1, great16:41
superm1gbutters_work, i'd like to get your theme on the daily trunk builds too (at least when it changes), but we'll need to write some logic to do that i guess16:41
gbutters_workI am making changes to it almost daily It is finally starting to come together. Still missing a few watermarks that I am waiting on troy_s for16:43
williammandahere's the post     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=792191016:43
superm1williammanda, you'll need to reset the theme with "mythfrontend -r" since the 8.04-wide theme isn't valid on 0.2216:45
williammandasorry this is on .21 not using the builds or above16:46
superm1oh16:47
superm1well try clearing your theme cache in ~/.mythtv then16:48
williammandaeven though the frontend is calling for a different dir then that is in ~/.mythtv?16:50
williammandathe dir I have is .mythtv/themecache not theme as the frontend calls for......I tried renaming themecache to themes and ran into another issue....the next directory it looked for was mythbuntu-8.04-wide but the dir I had was mythbuntu-8.04-wide.1336.76816:54
williammandathen the frontend would just open and then close16:55
gbutters_workwilliammanda, yes it is just checking to see if you have customized version in your home directory. delete the one in themecache16:55
gbutters_workwilliammanda, and restart the frontrnd16:56
williammandaok...whether I delete it or not the frontend still goes to /usr/share/mythtv to get the theme16:56
williammandaits on the frontend log I posted16:56
gbutters_workwilliammanda, that is correct16:57
gbutters_workwilliammanda, does weather work after deleting the cache files16:58
williammandanot sure haven't deleted anything yet....also not sure which file to delete?16:59
gbutters_workwilliammanda,  delete everthing in ~/.mythtv/themecache17:00
gbutters_workwilliammanda, stop the frontend, delete the files and the restart the frontend17:01
williammandaI looked at all the file and they are png files.....this is what I need to delete.....seems I would be looking for something other than pictures17:02
gbutters_workwilliammanda, yes that is what you need to delete17:03
williammandano change17:05
williammandaI missing something.....17:05
williammandaif the frontend is calling for files at a certain dir.....that dir doesn't exist....then the frontend defaults to another dir.....how does deleting the dir that the fronend can see help?17:06
gbutters_workwilliammanda, it is reading the theme from /usr/share/mythtv/themes and building the png and saving them to ~/mythtv/themecache/ so that it does not have to build them everytime they are needed17:11
williammandaok...but why is it not looking for the those built files in the dir it saved them in??17:12
gbutters_workwilliammanda, sometimes the files in the themecache will get corrupt and you have to delete them and let them get rebuild, We were just making sure that was not your problem17:13
williammandait always looks in the themes dir.....17:13
williammandaok ty...it helps for me to understand the process...17:14
gbutters_workit is looking in the theme directory for a customized version on the theme17:14
gbutters_workS/theme/themes17:14
williammandaok makes sense now17:14
williammandanow that I better understand that non- issue.....17:15
williammandaoff to resolving the mythweather issue...17:15
williammandaI wasn't sure if what was happening was causing my mythweather issue17:16
williammandaty for your help17:16
