[02:09] <Howser> this 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 hell
[02:09] <Zinn> Howser: Please watch your language.
[02:10] <Howser> sorry :) its been a long day of mouse configuration
[02:11] <Howser> its a gyration mce mouse, that's the only thing "odd". it worked great before I updated to 9.04
[02:13] <Howser> I am sitting right next to the computer vnc'ing into it just so I can move the mouse at civilized speeds
[02:52] <Howser> no one has any ideas?
[02:53] <Howser> could 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/slow
[03:50] <rhpot1991> Howser: I think /boot/grub/menu.lst is what you want
[03:51] <Howser> thanks, ill try that. freash installs the way they are, im tackleing another problem at the moment
[04:38] <MythbuntuGuest38> Hi. 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 yet
[04:55] <gbutters> gunni_: bad build yesterday, update to todays build.
[06:39] <squidly> gbutters: I'm running trunk and having issues with the theme.
[06:39] <squidly> I noticed you said they were busted
[06:39] <squidly> the builds.. I tried running an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and nada
[06:40] <squidly> still having theme issues. I cant pull anythinme
[13:15] <gbutters> squidly: what is the problem
[16:00] <squidly> gbutters: I cant get the frontend to start
[16:00] <squidly> themeing issues
[16:07] <superm1> squidly, do you have mythstream installed?
[16:07] <superm1> remove it if so..
[16:12] <williammanda> 29 P
[16:22] <gbutters_work> squidly, logs
[16:30] <squidly> superm1: no
[16:30] <squidly> superm1: I dont use that. I was having theme erros
[16:31] <squidly> let me check the logs
[16:32] <superm1> well even if it's installed it can cause problems
[16:32] <superm1> make sure you are on the most recent version of the mythbuntu theme too
[16:33] <squidly> I will do that
[16:33] <squidly> I kept getting "cant find theme:..."
[16:33] <squidly> I did an update earlier today
[16:33] <squidly> let me try now that the stream is removed
[16:37] <gbutters_work> squidly, cant find mainmenu.xml????
[16:38] <williammanda> I 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.xml
[16:38] <squidly> < squidly> sphery: I keep getting 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Unable to load window 'mainmenu' from menu-ui.xml
[16:38] <squidly> 00:24 < squidly> 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Couldn't find mainmenu.xml for theme 'blue'
[16:38] <squidly> those where the error sI was getting
[16:38] <squidly> not any more though
[16:38] <squidly> it seems to be working
[16:38] <superm1> yeah so it was mythstream doing it to ya
[16:38] <squidly> that was this morning
[16:39] <squidly> not lastn ight
[16:39] <squidly> night*
[16:40] <superm1> gbutters, i've merged the jamu stuff into mythvideo and removed it from the mythbuntu theme branch and uploaded that all last night
[16:41] <gbutters_work> squidly, the missing mainmenu.xml was from mondays bad build. that was fixed with yestersays build
[16:41] <gbutters_work> superm1, great
[16:41] <superm1> gbutters_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 guess
[16:43] <gbutters_work> I 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 for
[16:43] <williammanda> here's the post     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7921910
[16:45] <superm1> williammanda, you'll need to reset the theme with "mythfrontend -r" since the 8.04-wide theme isn't valid on 0.22
[16:46] <williammanda> sorry this is on .21 not using the builds or above
[16:47] <superm1> oh
[16:48] <superm1> well try clearing your theme cache in ~/.mythtv then
[16:50] <williammanda> even though the frontend is calling for a different dir then that is in ~/.mythtv?
[16:54] <williammanda> the 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.1336.768
[16:55] <williammanda> then the frontend would just open and then close
[16:55] <gbutters_work> williammanda, yes it is just checking to see if you have customized version in your home directory. delete the one in themecache
[16:56] <gbutters_work> williammanda, and restart the frontrnd
[16:56] <williammanda> ok...whether I delete it or not the frontend still goes to /usr/share/mythtv to get the theme
[16:56] <williammanda> its on the frontend log I posted
[16:57] <gbutters_work> williammanda, that is correct
[16:58] <gbutters_work> williammanda, does weather work after deleting the cache files
[16:59] <williammanda> not sure haven't deleted anything yet....also not sure which file to delete?
[17:00] <gbutters_work> williammanda,  delete everthing in ~/.mythtv/themecache
[17:01] <gbutters_work> williammanda, stop the frontend, delete the files and the restart the frontend
[17:02] <williammanda> I 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 pictures
[17:03] <gbutters_work> williammanda, yes that is what you need to delete
[17:05] <williammanda> no change
[17:05] <williammanda> I missing something.....
[17:06] <williammanda> if 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?
[17:11] <gbutters_work> williammanda, 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 needed
[17:12] <williammanda> ok...but why is it not looking for the those built files in the dir it saved them in??
[17:13] <gbutters_work> williammanda, 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 problem
[17:13] <williammanda> it always looks in the themes dir.....
[17:14] <williammanda> ok ty...it helps for me to understand the process...
[17:14] <gbutters_work> it is looking in the theme directory for a customized version on the theme
[17:14] <gbutters_work> S/theme/themes
[17:14] <williammanda> ok makes sense now
[17:15] <williammanda> now that I better understand that non- issue.....
[17:15] <williammanda> off to resolving the mythweather issue...
[17:16] <williammanda> I wasn't sure if what was happening was causing my mythweather issue
[17:16] <williammanda> ty for your help

[23:31] <quinten> what's the best way to do this?
[23:36] <quinten> anyone know if i disable powernowd, if there's any other processes that may be running to regulate the cpu speed?
