[02:09] 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] Howser: Please watch your language. [02:10] sorry :) its been a long day of mouse configuration [02:11] its a gyration mce mouse, that's the only thing "odd". it worked great before I updated to 9.04 [02:13] I am sitting right next to the computer vnc'ing into it just so I can move the mouse at civilized speeds [02:52] no one has any ideas? [02:53] 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] Howser: I think /boot/grub/menu.lst is what you want [03:51] thanks, ill try that. freash installs the way they are, im tackleing another problem at the moment [04:38] 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] gunni_: bad build yesterday, update to todays build. === gbutters is now known as gbutters_away === gbutters_away is now known as gbutters [06:39] gbutters: I'm running trunk and having issues with the theme. [06:39] I noticed you said they were busted [06:39] the builds.. I tried running an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and nada [06:40] still having theme issues. I cant pull anythinme [13:15] squidly: what is the problem === aliby- is now known as aliby [16:00] gbutters: I cant get the frontend to start [16:00] themeing issues [16:07] squidly, do you have mythstream installed? [16:07] remove it if so.. [16:12] 29 P [16:22] squidly, logs [16:30] superm1: no [16:30] superm1: I dont use that. I was having theme erros [16:31] let me check the logs [16:32] well even if it's installed it can cause problems [16:32] make sure you are on the most recent version of the mythbuntu theme too [16:33] I will do that [16:33] I kept getting "cant find theme:..." [16:33] I did an update earlier today [16:33] let me try now that the stream is removed [16:37] squidly, cant find mainmenu.xml???? [16:38] 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> sphery: I keep getting 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Unable to load window 'mainmenu' from menu-ui.xml [16:38] 00:24 < squidly> 2009-09-09 00:24:21.384 Couldn't find mainmenu.xml for theme 'blue' [16:38] those where the error sI was getting [16:38] not any more though [16:38] it seems to be working [16:38] yeah so it was mythstream doing it to ya [16:38] that was this morning [16:39] not lastn ight [16:39] night* [16:40] 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] squidly, the missing mainmenu.xml was from mondays bad build. that was fixed with yestersays build [16:41] superm1, great [16:41] 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] 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] here's the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7921910 [16:45] 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] sorry this is on .21 not using the builds or above [16:47] oh [16:48] well try clearing your theme cache in ~/.mythtv then [16:50] even though the frontend is calling for a different dir then that is in ~/.mythtv? [16:54] 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] then the frontend would just open and then close [16:55] williammanda, yes it is just checking to see if you have customized version in your home directory. delete the one in themecache [16:56] williammanda, and restart the frontrnd [16:56] ok...whether I delete it or not the frontend still goes to /usr/share/mythtv to get the theme [16:56] its on the frontend log I posted [16:57] williammanda, that is correct [16:58] williammanda, does weather work after deleting the cache files [16:59] not sure haven't deleted anything yet....also not sure which file to delete? [17:00] williammanda, delete everthing in ~/.mythtv/themecache [17:01] williammanda, stop the frontend, delete the files and the restart the frontend [17:02] 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] williammanda, yes that is what you need to delete [17:05] no change [17:05] I missing something..... [17:06] 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] 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] ok...but why is it not looking for the those built files in the dir it saved them in?? [17:13] 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] it always looks in the themes dir..... [17:14] ok ty...it helps for me to understand the process... [17:14] it is looking in the theme directory for a customized version on the theme [17:14] S/theme/themes [17:14] ok makes sense now [17:15] now that I better understand that non- issue..... [17:15] off to resolving the mythweather issue... [17:16] I wasn't sure if what was happening was causing my mythweather issue [17:16] ty for your help [17:18] Dell/Ubuntu - http://www.workswithu.com/2009/08/28/dell-prepares-ubuntu-encore/ [18:10] gunni: thanks.. got it working. [19:30] squidly: ? was gone the whole day o_O [22:08] gunni: ?? [22:10] [19:07:18] gunni: thanks.. got it working. [22:26] oh sorry gunni tab completion got me === foxbuntu` is now known as foxbuntu [22:36] squidly: np, just wondered, what i did with not being there ... i got the force [23:31] hi! [23:31] i'm trying to disable the cpu frequency scaling on my myth backend/frontend [23:31] what's the best way to do this? [23:36] anyone know if i disable powernowd, if there's any other processes that may be running to regulate the cpu speed?
