dserban_ | hmm on 9.04 mythbuntu consistently freezes... how can I diagnose what it doesn't like about the box? | 00:12 |
---|---|---|
dserban_ | Only real difference from the default install is that I setup my own partitions | 00:13 |
dserban_ | secondly, why do my ide(pata) drives get assigned scsi device names? seems later on hal has issues with it | 00:19 |
foxbuntu | dserban_, freezes while doing what? | 00:22 |
tgm4883 | dserban_, by scsi device names, i'm assuming you mean sdX, and it has been that way for years | 00:37 |
dserban_ | foxbuntu, well when I install it, it hits a certain percentage on install and the system hard locks... I can't see dmesg output I can't alt-sysrq etc... how do ubuntu bug reporters figure out wth is going on? | 01:19 |
dserban_ | tgm4883, yeah I kinda figured. I've been running debian for years and it hasn't been like that... so I guess noob to ubuntu question | 01:19 |
dserban_ | wow I was late in responding heh.. | 01:22 |
dserban_ | ran stress.. o ooohh dmesg returned something fun | 01:22 |
dserban_ | Bad page state in process 'kswapd0' | 01:23 |
dserban_ | with a backtrace | 01:23 |
dserban_ | hrrm looks like I may have to play with kernel params... or try a backported kernel? problem is... this happens on install ... yech | 01:54 |
PMantis | I'm familiar with LTSP already, but are there instructions for setting up a diskless server *without* using the control centre gui? My server has no gui. | 03:11 |
superm1 | PMantis, i'd X forward MCC then | 03:17 |
superm1 | there is a command line option to build the diskless stuff, but i dont think it'd nicely documented anywhere | 03:17 |
PMantis | I'd like to learn that anyway. | 03:17 |
PMantis | ltsp-build-client I'm sure. | 03:18 |
superm1 | yeah that's the basis for it | 03:18 |
PMantis | Personally, I don't like letting some script I didn't write run wild and configure things on a multi-purposed server. | 03:21 |
Daviey | PMantis: in which case, it's unwise to use any distribution.. | 03:21 |
Daviey | you should build your operating system from scratch, | 03:21 |
PMantis | If mythbuntu was the only thing that used PXE, and myth was the only thing on the server, then NBD. | 03:22 |
PMantis | I also have regular LTSP running, so don't want the scripts to modify that, but build a different chroot instead. | 03:23 |
PMantis | Daviey: I think that would be carrying it too far. ;) | 03:24 |
PMantis | Although I have used gentoo stage 1 before... that's close! :) | 03:24 |
Daviey | PMantis: well the people that created MCC are the same people that maintain the mythtv packages.. | 03:24 |
Daviey | So if you don't trust us to with the scripts inside MCC, how can you trust us with the myth packages? | 03:25 |
PMantis | It doesn't have anything to do with trust. Most GUI's made for lay people assume non-complicated and dedicated setups. As such, its likely it was written assuming no other LTSP chroots will be on the server, and installs the the myth chroot in /opt/ltsp/i386, which is already taken. As such, I'd like to run ltsp-build-client myself to build the frontend environment. | 03:27 |
PMantis | That's all... | 03:27 |
Daviey | ok | 03:28 |
Daviey | on that noted | 03:28 |
Daviey | !bed > Daviey | 03:28 |
Zinn | Sorry I don't know about bed > Daviey | 03:28 |
afarris01 | Hey everybody... I'm new to Mythtv, and I had some questions... | 03:38 |
afarris01 | 1. I've got DirectTV Satellite TV... is this going to make it difficult/impossible for me to run MythTV? | 03:38 |
afarris01 | 2. Are there any recommended tuner cards for using with Satellite TV? | 03:38 |
afarris01 | 3. Are all tuner cards limited to the number of channels that they can access? is this a hardware limitation? | 03:38 |
afarris01 | Thanks! :) | 03:38 |
dserban_ | Well I'm not entirely familiar with direct tv since I'm canuckistanian. But as long as there's a way to connect the receiver to the myth box, it's usable. Either direct (firewire/serial/usb) or via an ir transmitter. Such as commandir. | 04:35 |
dserban_ | Depends if you want HD content, though again, can't really help you there as I'm resisting HD like the plague. | 04:36 |
dserban_ | But hauppauge seems to make something useful. | 04:36 |
dserban_ | 3. channels aren't really limited as if you're using a receiver (direct tv receiver) then you have no limit on channels at the card. | 04:37 |
dserban_ | Since the set top box will do the channel changing | 04:37 |
afarris01 | thanks! from looking at various tuner cards, it kept saying that the card was limited to using 125 channels or some such | 04:38 |
afarris01 | HD content isnt a concern for me... I dont really care about it that much, so long as the quality is good enough that i can still see it | 04:40 |
afarris01 | and how do you hook up the reciever to the myth box? I was kind of under the impression that I would remove my set-top box and replace it with the Myth box | 04:40 |
afarris01 | is it more like I keep the set-top box i was given, and i chain the myth box off of it? | 04:41 |
dserban_ | yep that's how it works... you connect either through component or err the regular way | 04:42 |
dserban_ | and you connect to the card | 04:43 |
dserban_ | which then encodes your video stream for myth to use | 04:43 |
dserban_ | control wise you'd use firewire, or serial or usb. depends on your receiver and what's available | 04:43 |
dserban_ | just google it | 04:44 |
dserban_ | then... the channel control is based on those connections... if neither work then you need an ir transmitter | 04:44 |
afarris01 | awesome. Thanks for the info. I've still got a lot of reading to do before I actually get to set it up, but I'm pretty excited already. MythTV looks awesome and I can't wait to play with it | 05:02 |
map7 | can anyone help me with modeline configuration under xorg? | 12:43 |
map7 | I cannot seem to make the resolution narrower or shorter. | 12:43 |
scales11 | hi all i just had a quick question, how does one running mythtv get program guide info? it used to be free from direct something, but they got bought and now they arent free.. | 15:26 |
gunni | scales11: Sometimes (like here in germany) EPG data is in the broadcast, or you can use xmltv if available for your country | 15:46 |
scales11 | i am in usa...i am pretty sure they dont broadcast it | 15:50 |
scales11 | so i would need to use xml.. | 15:50 |
plagerism | So anyone running mythbuntu karmic koala? | 15:54 |
tgm4883 | !schedules% | scales11 | 16:12 |
Zinn | Sorry I don't know about schedules% | 16:12 |
tgm4883 | !sd | scales11 | 16:13 |
Zinn | Sorry I don't know about sd | 16:13 |
tgm4883 | hmm | 16:13 |
tgm4883 | scales11, use schedules direct, it's $20/year | 16:13 |
scales11 | tgm4883: yeah i know, it just have win7 and its media center is pretty darn good, there are just a few features that mythtv has that are nice. | 16:38 |
scales11 | tgm4883: and the schedule thing used to be free! i have a problem with companies coming along and making people pay for things that they used to get for free | 16:39 |
tgm4883 | scales11, IIRC, thats not entirely what happened | 16:39 |
scales11 | tgm4883: right, they had problems, got bought out? | 16:40 |
scales11 | something like that? | 16:40 |
scales11 | i havent used mythtv in years... | 16:40 |
scales11 | so i am a little out of the loop | 16:40 |
tgm4883 | no, IIRC, zap2it stopped offering the xml data period. Some mythtv guys scrambled to get something in place and made a deal with TMS to get channel data. The mythtv guys founded SD, and have to pay for the data. | 16:41 |
tgm4883 | They only wanted to charge what it cost, which goes down per subscriber in economies of scale | 16:42 |
tgm4883 | so in the begining it was $20/3 months cause they didn't know how much it would cost | 16:42 |
tgm4883 | they must have got enough subscribers to bring it down to $20/year shortly after that ( 2-3 months) | 16:43 |
scales11 | ah | 16:44 |
scales11 | i see | 16:44 |
scales11 | well i can respect that | 16:44 |
scales11 | thanks for the info | 16:44 |
tgm4883 | np | 16:45 |
scales11 | i will be back with more questions later :P gtg for now | 16:45 |
amy_ | I just installed mythbuntu via Wubi. When I run it, I get "cannot connect to database" each time. I have tried enabling the mysql server and the primary backend role in the mythbuntu control centre, but I'm still having the same problem. How do i set up MySQL for mythtv? | 17:58 |
sigkill_ | hey, it seems, annoyingly, that since i enabled vnc in the control center and rebooted, that vnc hasnt restarted | 18:16 |
sigkill_ | how does one manually start it from the cli? | 18:16 |
sigkill_ | there's nothing in /etc/init.d/ | 18:16 |
sigkill_ | and annoyingly the backend is headless | 18:16 |
amy_ | I think I fixed my own problem... | 18:29 |
pigeta | hi all | 19:46 |
pigeta | i have a thermaltake mozart media lab | 19:47 |
pigeta | and i want to install mythbuntu | 19:47 |
pigeta | anyone here has the same case? | 19:48 |
amy_ | !help | 19:56 |
Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 19:56 |
amy_ | I did a dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-backend which fixed my other problem. my new problem is that ubuntu doesn't appear to have a driver for my capture card. it's "Multimedia controller: Fujitsu Limited. Device 202a." Does anyone here know how to get this card working? (or know of someplace else besides #ubuntu where I could ask about it?) | 20:00 |
amy_ | Apparently nobody knows. I've been staring at mythbuntu for hours and it's obviously not going to work on my machine. | 20:22 |
PLC | Hi | 21:02 |
orificium_ | Anyone using JAMU? According to the wiki, its shipped with Mythtv, but I'm not finding it. | 21:14 |
orificium_ | Nevermind, found it :) | 21:15 |
tgm4883 | !hello | PLC | 21:30 |
Zinn | Sorry I don't know about hello | 21:30 |
PLC | I'm french | 21:32 |
PLC | I buy a Dvico station .... but it's very bad system | 21:32 |
PLC | I think, i'm going to make a HTPC with Mythtv | 21:33 |
PLC | but i don't know if we can do all thing with the remote | 21:33 |
PLC | a remote * | 21:33 |
tgm4883 | all things? | 21:33 |
PLC | yes | 21:34 |
tgm4883 | like what? | 21:34 |
tgm4883 | you can do anything in MythTV with a remote | 21:34 |
PLC | navigate in all system without mouse and keyboard | 21:34 |
tgm4883 | yea, you can do that, some remotes are limited by the amounts of buttons they have though | 21:35 |
PLC | ok | 21:35 |
PLC | you can have 2 tuner ? | 21:35 |
PLC | +s | 21:35 |
PLC | record one tv station and see another or watch DivX | 21:36 |
PLC | ? | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | yes, you can have many tuners distributed accross multiple computers | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | or in the same computer | 21:36 |
PLC | ok | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | and yes, watch one, record another | 21:36 |
PLC | the same for me :p | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | or record 2 | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | also | 21:36 |
PLC | héhé | 21:36 |
PLC | :) | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | !multirec | 21:36 |
tgm4883 | hmm | 21:36 |
Zinn | Sorry I don't know about multirec | 21:36 |
PLC | cool | 21:36 |
PLC | you can record 2 channel and watch a media file like MP3 / MP4 ... AVI .... stream .. ??? :D | 21:37 |
tgm4883 | yes | 21:37 |
PLC | GREAT =) | 21:37 |
PLC | it's for me ^^ | 21:38 |
PLC | how many time you must wait before use the system ? | 21:38 |
PLC | or swap between applications ? | 21:38 |
tgm4883 | i'm not sure what you mean | 21:38 |
PLC | I want to create a HTPC with this system (ubuntu + MythTV) | 21:39 |
PLC | the time of the boot is long ? | 21:40 |
PLC | I know the hardware change the value ... but :p | 21:40 |
tgm4883 | booting depends on the system | 21:41 |
tgm4883 | but it's usually pretty quick | 21:41 |
PLC | less 30Seconds ? | 21:41 |
PLC | if I do this box .... I use a good hardware | 21:42 |
tgm4883 | probably about that, usually you don't turn your computer off so it can record programs that you set schedules for | 21:42 |
PLC | oups | 21:42 |
PLC | :p | 21:42 |
PLC | sorry | 21:42 |
tgm4883 | dont worry about it, happens all the time | 21:43 |
PLC | shortcut fails :p | 21:43 |
PLC | another problem come ... | 21:44 |
PLC | is the consumption of the system | 21:44 |
PLC | in stand by | 21:44 |
tgm4883 | no idea | 21:45 |
PLC | i know ... | 21:45 |
PLC | a standard PC is 150-200W | 21:45 |
PLC | in stand by .... mini 100W | 21:46 |
PLC | I want to install on a Mac Mini | 21:47 |
PLC | but some problems appear with the tuner | 21:47 |
PLC | consumption is 15W | 21:47 |

gizmobay | Okay, this must be an easy question. How do you shutdown the Mythbuntu from the CLI? I use sudo shutdown now but it doesn't shut all the way down. | 23:09 |
Daviey | gizmobay: try sudo halt | 23:10 |
gizmobay | okay, I'll try that next time | 23:10 |
Daviey | gizmobay: shutdown doesn't poweroff without the -h switch. | 23:11 |
gizmobay | aww, I see. Thanks | 23:11 |
superm1 | or sudo poweroff | 23:19 |
