oobesuperm1, i managed to downgrade to mythbuntu weekly builds cleanly06:06
superm1cool, good06:06
superm1pretty straightforward?06:06
oobenot really i tried last night and failed06:06
oobebut then i found a thing on the mailing list that wanted to do the oppisite for some reason weekly builds was overwriting avenard06:07
oobeso i reversed the steps06:07
oobebasically all i needed to do was give avenard a lower priority in /etc/apt/prefences06:08
oobe*/etc/apt/preferences06:08
oobeand then i removed all the mythtv packages after backing up the db06:08
oobethen i reinstalled and weekly builds were selected instead06:09
oobei didnt need to restore the backup of the database06:09
oobebut it would be good to be sure06:09
superm1wow sounds like a pain06:10
oobewell last night i tryed to force downgrade of like 20 somthing packages06:10
oobeand it only produced error messages06:10
oobetoday after 5 mins of reading it took heaps less time and was successful06:11
oobeqwerty07:03
cannso iam a bit confused. i got a hvr 4000 (i fixed the faulty firmware thingy) , mythtv 0.22 trunk and i still cant tune dvb-s2 channels. i must be missing something right ? anyone have a clue where i should start looking ? =)07:42
jussi01is it just me or is mythbuntu.org down atm?08:26
Davieyhmm09:14
oobesuperm1, since mythtv .22 offical release is so close can i upgrade to trunk weekly builds now and transition smoothly when the offical packages come out if so would i need to modify my sources.list09:26
jussi01Can anyone point me to some resources for recommending a tv card for use with mythbuntu? (I need dvb-t with conax)10:19
oobewhat is conax10:28
oobehttp://linuxtv.org10:30
Davieymythbuntu.org should be working again, had to switch to the slave server.10:37

_benYo, just trying out mythtv trunk on ubuntu - wondering if anyone might be able to help with channel scanning issues?11:57
jussi01oobe: conax cards are like a chip and pin credit card, but you put them in your set top box.12:58
oobeoh ok12:58
oobei only watch free to air12:58
oobewe use dvb-t here in austalia though12:59
jussi01like this: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8054/technisatcardwi8.jpg12:59

superm1oobe, on jaunty?16:30

oobeok nice im in the middle of it now16:32
oobehaving a few probs16:32
oobebut its going ok now16:32
oobedoes this look ok16:34

superm1yeah16:34
_benwhen's the next build expected?16:40
superm1i think they're happening in about 8 hours?16:41
_bensweet!16:41
superm1although something was wrong with pushing the last two days16:42
superm1Daviey, ping16:42
superm1we need to see a log to see what's up, how that part is breaking?16:42
_benI can't see to use the channel scanner, kinda hoping the next build fixes it for me16:42
Davieysuperm1: o.16:47
Davieydoing a manual push now16:49
_ben:D16:51
superm1Daviey, what was wrong with auto push?16:53
superm1Daviey, oh btw, i think you can set the frequency of the -fixes cron job to daily now too.  it will only push if the "Last Changed Rev" has bumped with the delta i made in our weekly build branch16:54
Davieywilco16:55
ace__hello all, I just had a crash and it appears, a corruption of a large portion of my mythtv database, I have no backups, can anyone suggest how I should go about rebuilding my database?17:45
superm1ace__, try 'repairing' it first with mysql17:53
superm1there is an option in mythweb to do it17:54
superm1or phpmyadmin17:54
ace__yeah17:55
ace__already tried17:55
ace__it's throughly broke17:55
ace__mythconverg.archiveitems17:56
ace__Error    : Incorrect file format 'archiveitems'17:56
ace__error    : Corrupt17:56
superm1ugh yuck :(17:56
ace__repeat for at least 10 other tables17:56
ace__yeah17:56
ace__next time, I setup autobackup17:56
superm1you sure you dont have any backups?  at some point automatic backups were enabled already17:56
ace__hrmm17:56
superm1check your drive that has the recordings on it17:56
ace__what would I be looking for?17:57
ace__I installed 9.04 a couple months ago17:57
superm1look for a tgz in your recordings mount17:57
ace__nope :(17:58
ace__no .tar.bz2, no  .tgz, no .bz217:59
ace__so, my question, is how to go about rebuilding the database without a reinstall?18:01
superm1ace__, well how about this, try to export the database - so you can get whatever data is valid out18:03
superm1and then drop the database, load the template database (dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database) and then load your exported database back in18:04
ace__sounds like a good idea18:04
* ace__ figures out how to export the database18:04
ace__superm1: perhaps via the mythconverg_backup.pl?18:07
superm1use mysqldump18:08
superm1!google | ace__18:08
Zinnace__: This seems like a question that you probably could have solved by looking the first few results from a Google search.  Try to make sure to do the appropriate research before asking a question ( http://www.google.com/ )18:08
superm1:)18:08
ace__mysqldump: Got error: 130: Incorrect file format 'archiveitems' when using LOCK TABLES18:15
ace__woot18:15
ace__mysqldump -u mythtv -p mythconverg > mythconverg.sql18:17
ace__so how do I backup a corrupted database?18:22
oobetry to repair it first18:23
ace__tried to repair18:23
ace__it's broken18:23
ace__corrupted badly it seems18:24
oobecron.weekly should back up once a week to /var/backups/18:24
ace__hurrah!18:25
ace__there are files there!18:25
oobels -lt /var/backups/18:25
ace__last backup was three days ago!18:25
ace__saved!18:25
oobenice18:25
ace__superm1: you were right, just in a different location18:26
ace__alright, so there are a full dump I assume18:26
ace__since they're .sql18:26
ace__woot, source'd into the database, system is up and running again18:55
ace__oobe: thanks for your help18:55
oobenp18:55
ace__3 days worth of stuff lost is not too shabby18:55
ace__many thanks to the mythbuntu developers for the preconfigured backup18:56
oobemythorphin will help you locate the recordings that arnt in the database18:56
oobethen you can choose to re add them or delete them manually18:56
ace__awesome18:57
oobethats myth.find_orphans.pl rather18:57
superm1Daviey, did you identify the root cause of why pushes weren't working?18:59
superm1something silly i hope?18:59
superm1so can we be back on autopilot now?18:59
mesheafter my "thought to be dead" hard drive issue, i'm going to write some code to push my mythtv db backups to my Amazon S3 account20:07
tgm4883meshe, not a bad idea20:34
tgm4883you could use ubuntuone too20:34
tgm4883or dropbox20:34
mesheiirc dropbox uses amazon s320:36
Daviey18:59:07 < superm1> Daviey, did you identify the root cause of why pushes weren't working?20:45
Daviey= full20:45
Daviey  / = full20:45
DavieySo i need to add some cleanup to stop the tarballs being stored after upload20:46
rhpot1991I'd use ubuntuone personally, IIRC the cliend is included by default in karmic20:55
rhpot1991plus everyone gets free storage out there with karmic20:55
mesherhpot1991: you have a link for that?20:56
rhpot1991meshe: https://one.ubuntu.com/20:57
meshethanks20:58
meshe2GB free storage, nice20:58
rhpot1991yep20:58
rhpot1991I never checked, is that total storage space or bandwidth per time period?20:58
rhpot1991I'd venture total storage space20:59
mesheFree Plan, 2GB of Storage20:59
meshesays nothing of bandwidth20:59
rhpot1991seems like it20:59
meshemaybe I'll just write it pluggable.  tie it into the current backup system.  back up locally by default but allow a user to configure an online backup service21:06
rhpot1991meshe: if you check the wiki there is a new backup script for .2221:12
rhpot1991I believe it may work with .21 too21:12
rhpot1991we just tossed the idea out about getting it into a MCC plugin too, so if you lay any of the ground work or want to work with anyone on that, it would be cool21:13
meshewhat's MCC written in, I haven't looked at the code yet21:18
rhpot1991meshe: python21:18
superm1Daviey, okay, cool.  just commit the fixes to mythbuntu-weekly's branch then21:18
mesheI'll look into it in between working on myths perl binding21:19
meshebindings21:19

oobemythvideo is 0.22.0~trunk21831 and libmyth-0.22-0   is 0.22.0~trunk2189723:27
superm1looks like mythplugins hasn't built yet23:30
superm1https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/trunk-0.22/+packages23:30
oobeseems like only half of the myth packages have 21897 and the rest are stuck at 2183123:30
superm1starts building in 4 minutes23:30
superm1since the whole PPA system went down yesterday everything got back logged i think23:30
oobelooks like there are 21987 and 21988 aswell23:35
superm1just diff between karmic intrepid and jaunty23:36
superm1not a big worry i dont think23:36
oobehow do i build my packages then :)23:48
superm1just wait for the builder to finish23:50
