[02:30] tmkt, well review the diffs on cvs for lirc-i2c to start [02:30] see is anything stands out [02:31] particularly look for commits that say something like "Break all HVR-XXX hardware to annoy tmkt" :) [03:11] is mythbuntu 9.10 stable enough to use? [03:13] and would a 2.5 single core, 512 ram be fast enough to use those really cool looking themes on standard def? :P [03:21] :D [03:21] will do [03:21] Seventoes [03:22] yeah..9.10 is working great for me [03:22] other then the remote [03:22] remote working is important imo :P [03:22] cant i just copy my lirc* files over? [03:28] not all remotes are broke [03:29] just some :) [03:29] hmm gambling is fun sooommmeetimes [03:29] lol [03:29] i dont have anything important yet so ill try it out and go back to .04 if it doesnt work [03:30] make sure to file bugs if you run into problems first ;) [03:37] will do [03:39] well fiddlesticks. Oct 13 live cd worked but it looks like X is crashing now that I installed it on the hard drive [03:41] hmm it can't find the nvidia kernel module [03:52] Seventoes..hvr-1600 is giving me an issue [03:52] i'm guessing it's fine for everyone else [03:52] i have a hvr--150 [03:52] really basic setup [03:52] so was hvr-1600 with lirc 0.84 [03:53] from what i've read..hvr-150 and hvr-1600 are the same pretty much for the remote [03:53] i couldnt find much info about the remote [03:55] ended up making my own lircr.conf [03:55] yeah...the problem for me..is i dont even have a device listed [03:55] nothing at /dev/lirc0 [03:55] that was my problem when i was trying to install mythtv on ubuntu manually [03:55] worked fine with myhtbuntu though otb [03:58] seems like the restricted drivers utility is failing to activate the nvidia driver but it isn't giving me an error message either [03:58] yeah..mythbuntu is nice [03:59] ToeBee, did you do an install with the network cable plugegd in? [04:00] yes [04:00] ToeBee, okay i've got a theory then.. [04:00] ToeBee, but first lets find out the problem at hand [04:00] network cable has never NOT been plugged in since like 2 weeks ago :) [04:00] ToeBee, so if you try to ssh in and modprobe nvidia, does it let you? [04:00] and if not, does depmod -a help? [04:01] modprobe says "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." [04:01] depmod doesn't help [04:02] brb..rebooting [04:02] running the restricted driver utility by hand lists the available drivers and when I tell it to use one it thinks for a second and then exits without error... but nothing happens [04:03] running /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/jockey-gtk [04:04] ToeBee, okay can you check if nvidia-glx-185 is installed? [04:05] and next can you check "uname -a" [04:05] and then "dpkg -l | grep linux-" [04:06] ok dpkg says I have a bunch of nvidia packages installed... nvidia-glx-185 is there [04:06] okay that's good [04:06] Linux lcars 2.6.31-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 10 15:27:14 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:06] superm1: I have nvidia 185 and headers to match my kernel [04:07] rhpot1991, does your nvidia module exist?

[04:11] ToeBee: Please watch your language. [04:11] :/ [04:11] hey guys... quick question guys [04:12] rhpot1991, yeah just need to figure out why that happened in the first place [04:12] McNever, possibly quick answer [04:12] !stab foxbuntu [04:12] * Zinn stabs foxbuntu with a WASP knife. [04:12] so yes... that did indeed fix it [04:12] just replaced my bunch backend with an upgraded box [04:12] McNever, bunch backend? [04:12] pulled the tuner out of my old box popped it in the new one... ran through the install (much easier 2nd time around) [04:13] superm1: I'm gonna continue upgrading, I'll prob do a fresh install on my ion when I'm all done, we can see what happens there [04:13] bunk... crappy... old [04:13] McNever, gotcha...ok continue [04:13] rhpot1991, doy i see what it is [04:13] it's a silly bug in the postinst [04:13] my frontend connects... but when i go 'watch tv' it flashs and rigth back to the menu [04:13] he's checking for CVERSION when he should be checking for PKGVER [04:13] superm1: in ours? [04:13] not ours, [04:13] nvidia-185-kernel-source [04:14] it's easy enough to fix though [04:14] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f743c8332 [04:14] soo... mystery solved? [04:14] superm1: there you go, you can swoop in and fix another nvidia bug :) [04:14] rhpot1991, yeah i guess :? [04:14] :/ [04:14] McNever, run this command and post the link it produces here: cat /var/log/mythbackend.log | pastebinit [04:14] ToeBee, yeah! thanks for helping to nail that so quick [04:15] ToeBee, just run that command rhpot1991 mentioned and that should fix you right up for now though [04:15] yeah I have X running as we speak [04:15] thatnow the question is to get a new remote...or hope they decide to fix it [04:16] hmm slightly odd though... the restricted driver util still doesn't say that the nvidia driver is in use [04:16] although it clearly IS in use [04:16] (I can run nvidia-settings) [04:17] foxbuntu, no file there by that name [04:17] oh, speaking of which... nvidia-settings has a nasty bug too [04:18] McNever, whoops [04:18] McNever, run this command and post the link it produces here: cat /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | pastebinit [04:18] just tried to save my current config out to a file. It pops up an error "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'" When I click "OK" nvidia-settings crashes [04:20] http://pastebin.com/f74b68ff2 [04:20] foxbuntu, thanks... never seen pastebinit before [04:21] McNever, np, its pretty slick [04:21] McNever, what type of tuner are you using? [04:21] ToeBee, you've gotta run it under gksudo or sudo i think [04:22] which is el sucky [04:22] its an open source app but no one wants to go patch in policykit support [04:22] that doesn't help. It is puking on something in my xorg.conf file [04:22] VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [04:22] Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen". [04:22] then it segfaults [04:22] foxbuntu, hauppauge hvr1800 [04:22] oh [04:23] haha... whats that mean? [04:23] well... iirc support on the hvr1800 is minimal atm [04:23] but it appear to have init'd the tuner [04:24] it was working in the old backend... not very well but it was working [04:24] but the error seems to be failing to tune to a multiplex, did you set the ATSC/QAM side of the tuner to record more than 1 at a time? [04:24] nothing should be scheduled to record right now [04:25] McNever, no I mean when you setup the tuner [04:25] one of the options for the ATSC/QAM side of the card is # of recordings at a time [04:25] oh... i see what your saying [04:26] or something along those line [04:26] superm1: found someone on the nvidia forums who has run into this: http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t64339.html [04:26] dont think so... let me verify [04:26] ToeBee, well that's a very old version, i'm sure nvidia-settings has changed a bit since then [04:27] foxbuntu, no its set to 1 [04:29] McNever, you may also want to verify that the device node is correct in mythtv setup [04:29] superm1: think this might help? [04:29] cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc [04:29] ignore that [04:29] stupid mac [04:29] http://www.nabble.com/patch-for-lirc_i2c-and-kernel-2.6.31-rc4-td24638204.html [04:29] McNever, as in, if /dev/video1 is or atsc tuner, thats the one in the mythtv-setup for the atsc tuner [04:30] McNever, they like to change device nodes on reboot [04:30] superm1: bug 286424 [04:30] Bug 286424 in nvidia-settings (Ubuntu) "nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File" [Medium, Confirmed] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/286424 [04:31] comment number 64 does indeed solve it for me [04:31] tmkt, i bet that's already in 0.8.6 [04:32] oh well [04:32] guess i'm out of luck [04:32] tmkt, talk to j-rod [04:32] McNever, if you are not sure which device node is correct for the atsc side of the tuner: dmesg | grep cx18 [04:32] foxbuntu, yeah it looks good for the analog side, not sure how to check the dig. side or if it works the same way [04:32] tmkt, he's in #mythtv-users [04:32] he's the one who has done tons of work on lirc-i2c [04:32] he's in lirc also [04:33] not saying much [04:33] McNever, did you setup the seperate tuners in mythtv-setup? [04:33] well he might not be in front of his pc [04:33] ToeBee, too bad no one has a good fix for nvidia-settings there [04:33] jsut ways to fix the xorg.conf [04:33] yeah..lirc is a pretty slow channel [04:33] McNever, the HVR-1800 requires two tuners/input devices in mythtv-setup [04:33] yeah it's a band-aid [04:34] using my iphone right now to control my system [04:34] but a pain [04:34] heh also, my phone filled up it's text message inbox. I have my IRC client set up to text me whenever I am nickalerted :) [04:35] foxbuntu, correct one is dev/video0 which appears to correct the other is just listed as DVB:0 [04:35] McNever, there should be a device node for DVB0 [04:36] McNever, let me check my 1600, same card but on PCI [04:38] foxbuntu, humm... i thought the 1800's were pci... just looked up the pics and this is a 1600... sorry for the miss info [04:38] oh [04:39] McNever, well then [04:39] McNever, that makes things a little easier, I have my 1600 working [04:39] woot [04:39] just let me pull up my backend config [04:42] cool thats nice... do you have your setup as the v4l or the mjpeg... i've read people saying you have to one or the other... [04:42] cant remember what i had on my old backend [04:43] McNever, that wrong both ways [04:43] McNever, the option for the ATSC/QAM side is DVB DTV Capture Car (v3.x) [04:44] McNever, the you should see it populate the device node to something like: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 [04:46] ToeBee, rhpot1991 okay nvidia 185.18.36-0ubuntu6 should have this fixed [04:47] foxbuntu, yes i do see that [04:48] McNever, that should do it fr ya [04:48] wow there are a lot of updates even to this morning's CD! [04:49] foxbuntu, huh? [04:49] foxbuntu, i think i missed a step, we didnt change anything? [04:49] McNever, configure the card with those options rather than the ones you are using now [04:50] McNever, the DVB fot HD, and IVTV for Analog side [04:50] then try the tuner again, it *should* work [04:57] foxbuntu, yeah sorry i miss read the stuff above the first time the IVTV analog side is setup that way now [04:58] ok [04:58] McNever, let me know how testing goes [04:58] the dig side just lists as 0 [04:58] as 0? [04:58] no change [04:58] 0 where? [04:58] the field is DVB Device number [04:59] well you may have to type it in, I have seen that [04:59] McNever, check to see if this exists: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 [05:00] yeah it exists... thats what i checked before when i said 'yeah i see that' [05:00] but i cant type in the field its just a drop down '0' is the only option [05:00] you should be able o ype in it still [05:00] hmm [05:01] frontend ID is showing as a samsung was like that on the last machine though... [05:01] McNever, are you using the -fixes or -truck build of mythtv? [05:01] no clue... pulled the livecd from mythbuntu.org [05:01] installed from that [05:02] ok, grab the weekly build package from our site [05:02] do you ahve any frontend systems yet? [05:03] yeah [05:03] i feel like a tool, but how do i grab the build your talking about? [05:03] ....and which livecd did you grab, 9.04 or 9.10? [05:03] they should all be 9.04 [05:03] http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds [05:04] just download that package, install it (sudo dpkg -i mythbuntu-repos.deb), sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:04] you will want to use it on your frontend machines as well [05:06] don't select the PPA option [05:07] foxbuntu, ok... thanks i'll let you know how it works out [05:07] ok [05:17] foxbuntu, do i want to let it upgrade me to .22? [05:18] McNever, if you dont mind doing testing, .22 is fairly stable but unreleased [05:18] McNever, there are some huge changes in .22 [05:19] does 'watch tv' work ;) [05:19] i'll stick with .21 for now [05:21] foxbuntu, do i need to anything other than restart the service after that is done? [05:21] depends on what updates got applied [05:22] is there were any kernel updates or such, you need to rebot [05:22] I would suggest a reboot just to be sure [05:25] McNever, alright gtg for a bit bbl [05:39] hmm well I just restored my database from my previous mythbox... wonder if it will "just work" :) [05:43] wow schedulesdirect is running SLOW tonight [05:44] seems like I'm getting one packet at a time or something [05:54] wow! looks like things are working for the most part! [05:54] all the tuner settings are there... "watch TV" worked on the first try [05:59] does mythbuntu automatically make a system partition and a data partition? [06:00] Seventoes, depends on the version [06:01] 9.10 makes one big one for you [06:01] 9.04 does two [06:05] k, im about to replace my .04 with .10 anyways [06:07] * ToeBee just did [06:07] howsit workin? [06:09] well it's been a bumpy ride over the past couple of days (dealing with bugs in the liveCDs and such) [06:09] but as of now it seems to be working pretty well [06:10] I restored a database backup and it remembered my tuner and recording schedules [06:10] im installing from iso on a thumb drive, so im assuming ill hit the same livecd issues? [06:11] well which iso? I was using the daily builds [06:12] the one on the download page [06:12] http://mythbuntu.org/9.10/beta [06:12] ah ok the beta... I think that one worked except for some sound problems that were probably specific to my hardware [06:13] is there a nightly iso i could download? i dont wanna be reporting old bugs [06:13] http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily-live/current/ [06:13] cool [06:14] are themes as pretty as they look in the screenshots? lol [06:14] the current one booted fine but X did have a problem after restarting and booting to the fresh install [06:14] howjda fix? [06:16] bug 450865 [06:16] Bug 450865 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-185-kernel-source_185.18.36-0ubuntu5 not installing correctly, blank screen on reboot" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/450865 [06:16] only affects it if you are using the nvidia binary driver [06:16] ah nvidia [06:16] kk [06:17] also, be prepared for huge numbers of updates on a daily basis :) [06:18] "Hey my TV is updating!" [06:18] Seventoes, if you wait about 45 minutes a new nighly gets posted at 1:06am [06:18] (central time) [06:18] download is 45 minutes away from finishing anyways lol [06:18] might as well [06:20] hmm not sure my remote is working out of the box [06:20] then again it didn't totally work before either [06:20] ToeBee, do the updates, we just bumped to lirc 0.8.6 [06:20] I just used a wiimote [06:21] and need the new kernel to go with it [06:21] hmm I did updates maybe an hour ago [06:21] these changes newer than that? [06:21] nope [06:21] well yeah there are updates since then, but none relevant [06:24] * ToeBee wonders why things are running so slowly [06:24] oh wait that would be the rsync of all the recordings I'm doing [06:25] anyone know how to get 9.10 booting with grub (not grub 2) [06:25] the same entry as 9.04 in menu.lst isn't working [06:26] hmm are you using the ubuntu startup disk creator? [06:27] mapping the iso [06:27] ah. the startup disk creator didn't work for me (grub error) but unetbootin has worked great [06:28] i am using a usb drive i have other OSes on so i'd rather stick with grub [06:28] since im using it to boot about 10 other things lol [06:28] heh [06:29] not sure what unetbootin uses [06:29] well my myth box doesnt have a cd drive so i need to figure it out :( [06:29] ah probably isolinux or syslinux [06:31] yeah... not sure what to say [06:31] hrrmm [06:36] hmm yeah lirc won't start up [07:11] tried recording my own lirc config file and got lircd to start but irw is not registering any buttons [07:14] whats ure remote? [07:15] came with my pinnacle 800i tuner card [07:17] tiny little thing. http://images.tigerdirect.com/itemDetails/P121-8168/P121-8168-out7-hl.jpg [07:18] it looks like the pinnacle remotes that have existing configs in lirc are much more... "functional" than this one. Probably satelite receiver remotes and such [07:22] actually... I wonder if I could program the empty slot on my universal remote to some random device and then record IR signals from that to use with lirc [07:22] that would be kinda hot [07:33] well now this could be a problem. lircd-0.8.6[2551]: config file contains no valid remote control definition [07:38] checkout /etc/lirc/lircd.conf? [07:40] yeah I got it to recognize my recorded config now and irw generates output [07:41] it complained about the config file when I used an "include" but when I cat'ed the file directly to the end of lircd.conf it worked [07:41] still not affecting anything in mythtv... but that may be a problem for tomorrow [08:10] I lied [08:11] * ToeBee now has volume, mute, pause, FF and rew working [08:12] and channel [08:20] ok to do any more is going to require more use of irrecord. Definitely time for bed now [09:33] Hi, I'm trying to set up my remote (hauppage nova-t 500 PCI card, mythbuntu 9.04) but "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" gives nothing related to a remote. Any clues as to where to go from here? [13:48] Iancal..nothing in /dev/lirc0? [14:17] morning [14:40] tmkt, thanks for the reply, sorry if it was some time ago! I've only got /dev/lircd [14:42] your lirc modules are loaded? [14:42] lsmod|grep lirc [14:47] aha! [14:47] no === bogus is now known as Guest97413 [15:10] I can modprobe the modules I think I need (lirc_ic2 and lirc_dev) but I'm not sure where to go from there. Do I need them inserted at boot-time to see a difference in /dev or /proc/bus... ? [15:13] I've restarted lircd (driver devinput, device /dev/lirc0) but there's still no lirc0 [15:24] ls [15:43] dir [16:53] Hi all. I've been trying to get my hauppauge nova-t 500 remote working (mythbuntu 9.04) and have now got a /dev/input/irremote and all the expected output in dmesg, but nothing from irw, cat /dev/input/irremote [16:53] any clues for things I should check? [16:54] I've got the v4l drivers from mecurial (needed to get anything to do with the remote working) and have followed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140411 [17:01] There is a " missing at REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/irremote line of /etc/lirc/hardware.conf in that forum post, which always used to catch me out. [17:21] thanks, I filled that in, but still haven't got IR to work [18:19] im having some issues with my frontend... [18:19] was running ok but i think i broke troubleshooting my new backend i just turned up last night [18:20] i uninstalled and reinstalled mythtv last night and now when i go to 'watchtv' i get choppy audio and no video... [18:21] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f29fc9499 [18:22] i've pasted my logs above... any help would be great [18:25] hi...is there a mythbuntu-package for ppc? cannot find on the mythbuntu.org-page.....? [18:25] hume, if you install ppc ubuntu, all the mythbuntu packages should be available [18:25] superm1, thing is, i'd need it as a live cd.... [18:26] but we dont make ISOs [18:26] anyway to run myth from a live cd on a ppc then.....suggestions? [18:26] beats me [18:26] :) [18:26] makes two of us [18:27] there are ubuntu disks for ppc [18:27] that's all i know [18:27] ok...thx... [18:27] got a solv it through that i guess [18:50] ok addition to the earlier issue... i apparently have no video in vlc or mplayer as well... w32codec is installed, i tried reinstalling it but no change [19:27] superm1: working with j-rod...haven't made any progress yet.. [19:28] but he is super helpful [19:29] tmkt, glad you touched bases. i'm sure he'll be able to help you get it sorted out [19:29] yup. could be a big issue when mythbuntu launches [19:29] seems these cards are rather popular [19:30] but then again..who knows.. [19:30] silly card comes with black remote which is mceusb [19:30] and the grey remote which is i2c. [19:36] well if you and j-rod come up with a patch, we can at least document how to apply it with lirc-modules-source [19:36] and then plan for getting it in a kernel update [19:38] when is it going to be released? [19:38] gotta be pretty soon [19:39] ah [19:39] still 15 days until ubuntu releases 9.10 [19:43] yeah same for us [19:43] so we'll have to probably do a kernel update with this patch when it's ready [19:47] mrand i tracked down when bug 413789 was fixed. anyone who dist-upgrades after the 12th from jaunty should have a clean dist-upgrade [19:47] Bug 413789 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "mysql-server has been kept back with dist-upgrading" [High, Fix Released] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/413789 [19:47] so in theory we've got no more dist-upgrade problems [20:15] superm1: yay! [20:16] ok guys... so i've go video working, but now it seems i dont have audio out of my analog channels, works fine with dig channels [20:16] fyi i've got a hauppauge hvr1600 so they're configured at 2 tuners [20:17] if i download the video clips through mythweb they have audio, as a matter of fact if i download them on my frontend and play them through mplayer they have audio... just not through myth [20:17] any ideas? [22:02] McNever: Is pulseaudio running? [23:13] hello all. I recently upgraded some packages and now mythvideo isn't working/installed [23:14] I've found the issue is python-imdbpy, which says it relies on python < 2.6 but I can't uninstall python 2.6 because too many other things depend on it [23:15] I've found that python 2.5 and 2.6 are both installed. has anyone run into this before? [23:54] helif anyone is interested. I had to force the version for mythvideo, libmyth-python, and python-imdbpy to the jaunty versions. They were set to the intrepid versions for some reason. [23:55] <_ben> odd [23:56] if anyone is interested. I had to force the version for mythvideo, libmyth-python, and python-imdbpy to the jaunty versions. They were set to the intrepid versions for some reason. [23:56] sorry, double post [23:57] I may have set a "force version" on those file previously. who knows :-) [23:58] hi everyone, I have poor dvd playback using mythtv internal player.. is this a known issue? I've googled it a bit and all the information I've found is fairly old.
