[00:10] superm1: the patch mentioned in your link also does not specifically mention 15c2:0043 unless it is intended to be covered by { USB_DEVICE(0x15c2, 0xffdc) } on line 63. I have no idea about these things so just guessing. [00:12] superm1: also seems to be a patch for 0.8.4a and I have 0.8.6 [00:33] I'm having some issues with sound in 9.10. Can anyone help? [00:33] rhpot1991: sorry see my responses above to superm1, my bad [00:41] superm1: as for usbhid, if I do "sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb" and "sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" then the driver listed is usbhi. See this pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/294277/ [00:42] ScumBag: not sure I know enough to help but what is your problem... I had a problem with no sound (running hdmi) and simply needed to use the mixer to enable it [00:51] hehe seems like there have been plenty of sound problems in 9.10 [00:51] now that I have mine working I am deathly afraid of updating anything [01:01] Wonder if I can update while my wife is watching TV. [01:01] Why not. [01:04] that's why god made SSH! [01:05] Oh of course, that's how I do everything, just going to see if I can do it without her noticing. [01:05] I think I did a couple of releases ago :) [01:05] apparently god is from Finland [01:27] Crap. My connection to that box died and I forgot to use screen [01:33] Yay this is going to be fun to recover. [01:33] heh [01:38] ToeBee: save the config files and current package versions off, then upgrade away! [01:59] actually... I have a spare TB drive sitting around. I could just dd the whole thing and be done with it! [02:19] Toebee: Indeed. After the update, if everything is going good, you just update with dd again in case something else happens. [02:24] or I could rsync to my fileserver [02:24] oh the options [02:54] ok so I installed mythbuntu 9.10 beta (I used to have 9.04) and I can't scan any channels. With this new version it's locking me into a specific channel range based on the source. I usually choose cable high (I have basic HD cable) and was able to get the HD channels (example 5-1, 9-1, etc.) but can no longer get those. How do I get it to scan all channels and not be locked into a range? [02:54] Aha, fixed you damn mysql [02:54] hads: Please watch your language. [02:55] Sorry Zinn :) [02:57] Zinn seems like a teetotaler [03:01] * hads stabs lirc [03:04] * rhpot1991 seconds any action against lirc [03:05] I liked zinn's curse detection better when he used to yell at you for saying "passes" [03:14] anyone? [03:29] * hipitihop would like lirc to work with his remote and then he's happy to help hads hold the knife [03:29] which remote? [03:30] tmkt: It is an Antec Veris Basic see http://paste.ubuntu.com/294277/ [03:32] tmkt: seems usbhid is grabbing it and I don't know how to go forward. I do have lirc 0.8.6 installed dmesg returns: [03:32] dmesg | grep "lirc" [03:32] [ 16.995172] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 [03:32] [ 17.019875] lirc_imon: Driver for SoundGraph iMON MultiMedia IR/Display, v0.6 [03:32] [ 17.019949] usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_imon [03:35] Bummer, nvidia isn't playing nice now. At least I have lirc and mysql installed again :) [03:35] And I've still got an hour before recordings start for the night [03:37] ah..different then my issues [03:37] mine was i2c [03:38] have to reboot, brb [03:58] hads, what's broke with nvidia now? [04:02] superm1: Nothing, I'm working with 173 now. [04:02] 185 didn't install but perhaps this card is too old. [04:03] hads, it should have guessed for you which one it needed [04:03] did it guess wrong? [04:03] Yeah, 185 was recommended but when I tried to activate it it flashed up the "download and install" dialog then did nothing. [04:04] This is a 7600 card. [04:04] weird [04:04] Which will be updated very soon :) [04:04] i've got 185 on a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) [04:04] works like a charm [04:05] Odd. Dunno. I'm more concerned about this segfault everytime I try to enter the guide :) [04:05] Feature [04:06] hehe, must just be the metallurgy theme. Mythbuntu is working. [04:06] Only took a few hours to fix everything from an aborted do-release-upgrade. I think I'm done now. [04:08] Apart from some weird audio thump [04:09] i'm glad you're finding all the features that we snuck in :) that one is debian/patches/15-annoy-hads-with-audio.patch [04:09] * hads giggles [04:12] The mythvideo "DVD/Video contains a bookmark" dialog has got an amusingly small font on the buttons. [04:26] hi guys I'm having problem getin my Hauppauge PVR 150 running with sound .. the way I'm doing it is by going vlc /dev/video1 and changeing the channels with Zapping tv.. [04:27] can anyone help me I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.. and I have a Hauppauge PVR 150 capture card [04:27] ??? [04:33] is anyone even in here [04:33] WTF [04:33] The PVR150 encodes to MPEG so the sound is in there [04:36] .. how well it don't work for me how can I fix it dude [04:40] is there meybe a something I can add to vlc /dev/video1 .. like audio . something .. I dunno.. ??? [04:40] is there a version of mythstream that works with 22 fixes repo [04:43] 0.22 version of mythstream: http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~moongies/streamtuned.html [04:53] yeah got it thanks [04:53] i built it works fine [05:01] all right even with all the latest updates im getting stuck on "Scanning us-cable-hrc 1 No lock" with my PVR-150 [05:02] in 9.10 [05:11] should i report it? [05:18] anyone home? :( [05:22] sounds like a bug to me [05:22] how do i report? [05:22] ubuntu-bug mythtv [05:22] run that command and it will file a bug for you [05:22] k [05:32] oo wow automatic upload of info.. thats gotta be handy for devs! [05:33] assuming it captures all the right info, yes :) [05:33] unfortunately still working out some of the kinks with it [05:33] better than "Updated: Please upload the output of this command" [05:33] 4 times in a row [05:33] lol [05:34] * Seventoes works on getting remote working while awaiting word from devs [05:49] Umm, weird, NZDT is Pacific/Auckland silly mythfrontend. [08:14] That was interesting, I just moved my database and master backend to another server without any major hassles. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [09:54] a little assistance needed please. cannot play dvds at all. even when running the desktop. when through the front end, nothing happens when i put a disk into the drive, nor when i click on play dvd through the front end menu.any suggestions? [09:55] vlc says it can't play the video_ts file. [09:55] do i need to install restricted drivers/decoders etc? [10:01] jeffjeffdejeff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [10:01] !dvd [10:01] Sorry I don't know about dvd [10:02] Oh poor Zinn [10:11] hi hads. tried that. looks like libdvdread was already installed [10:11] this is a fresh install of 9.04. not sure if that helps or not [10:57] any suggestions as to why my cd playback is not smooth? big pauses in playback. have tried several cds. all same outcome. [10:57] anything settings i can adjust? dvd playback is fine [12:44] I'm getting the following kept back "linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic" is that due to mirrors lagging or some other issue ? [13:09] all. anyone able to take me through step by step getting my remote for my hauppauge td500 to work please? [13:27] If 9.04, I think you need to install the latest v4l drivers, described at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500 [13:27] so you get the 1.20 firmware [13:27] already came with it [13:28] ok, then i found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140411 to be the most useful for getting all the config stuff set up [13:30] hi there. thanks. i'll have a look. does it matter that modprobe.d/options.conf doesn't exist? my reception seems to be ok without enabling lna [13:37] I tried enabling it once, but it seemed to make very little difference to the reception, so you can probably ignore it [13:40] thanks. so at the moment i'm just going through and copying all the details from his various files and saving them. ? [13:42] yeah. You might want to also check that dmesg says something like "IR receiver inside USB DVB blah blah" somewhere, just to make sure it's recognised [13:43] oh and there is a " missing after REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/irremote in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [13:46] ok. saved all the files. do i now reboot? at what stage, and how do i go about checking dmesg? [13:46] thanks for telling me about the missing " i wouldn't have spotted that [13:47] if you run sudo /etc/init.d/lircd restart [13:47] and see if it is happy [13:47] command not found :( [13:48] i may have got it wrong [13:48] shall i just reboot? [13:49] yeah it will have the same effect. I dont have my mythbuntu pc with me at the moment [13:50] no problem. i appreciate your help so far. just rebooting at the moment. if all has gone according to plan, should the remote work when the front end has loaded? [13:50] theoretically. I find things rarely do though :) [13:51] yeah, i have found the same. nothing seems to go smoothly, from even getting the display working, to getting the cd drive to play without gaps....right, just booting up now.......drum roll..... [13:52] :( [13:55] Stab Damn [13:55] wombo: Please watch your language. [13:55] ignore me [13:56] If it didnt work, try typing dmesg into a console, and see if you get "IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver" in there somewhere [14:03] dont see anything in there [14:03] oh. It usually appears after all DVB stuff [14:03] If it doesn't, I think you have to install the latest v4l drivers until it does [14:04] how do i go about doing that? sorry for the questions [14:07] If you follow http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-NOVA-T-500#Making_it_Work_.28generic_for_all_dib0700.29 [14:07] there is a link in there to generic instructions for downloading/compiling it etc [14:24] making my way through it, but it means nothing to me! :) [14:25] just making the modules...whatever that means. [14:35] blimey. seems to be a lott going on just to make a remote control work. :s [14:37] gettina few "warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments" comments coming up. does that matter? [14:38] erm i hope not! [14:39] haha [14:39] this is taking ages. i've yet to do the sudo make install bit yet. [14:40] yeah I found mythv/mythbuntu to be a pain to get working, but once it was working it was great. Wheras all the freebie windows things i tried were easy to set up, but had a habbit of screwing up in the middle of important sports events [14:40] well it's working fine with the keyboard after setting it up today....but can't imagine the other half would be happy without the remote working [14:41] did you have to build and install the v4l drivers too? [14:43] yes. 9.10 works without doing that, but its still beta so there are other problems with it atm [14:43] much of a difference with 9.10? [14:44] i always worry that something will stop working after upgrading - even to a "stable" release [14:45] (god, it's now on "stage 2" of building. hope there isn't a stage 3) [14:46] I tried 9.10 out and found it was pretty good actually. The interface is a bit nicer, and it had the latest drivers for bits and bobs. Also flash worked at full screen which it never did for me in 9.04. I still get occasional crashes at the moment, so I am using 9.04 for day to day stuff. [14:47] once i got everything working in 9.04, I didnt install any more updates as they pretty much always broke something [14:47] would that explain why i can''t view youtube videos fullscreen in ff? just closes? [14:47] I could view it, but it was really jerky [14:48] oh. well this pc i've installed it on is quite old. so not expecting too much out of it. but will be nice to record and schedule tv. [14:49] just got to "sudo make install" reboot and then see what happens i suppose? is there anything else to do after that? [14:49] after that you should get the "IR inside blah blah" stuff [14:50] which means the rest should work [14:50] so, what's the command i enter to see that? [14:50] dmesg [14:51] cheers [14:51] what's an ir blaster? [14:51] keep reading references to them, but no idea what they are [14:53] Dunno. Someone here probably does? [14:56] ok. now see "input: ir-receiver inside an usb dvb receiver as /devices/pci0000 blah blah input/input6 [14:57] what now boss? [14:58] type irw [14:58] and then press buttons on the remote [14:58] and hopefully, stuff appears [14:58] nothing appearing in console when i'm pressing thebuttons [14:59] does /dev/input/irremote exist? [14:59] yup [15:00] ok try sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [15:00] (hopefully i got it right that time) [15:00] do i need to select and enable and ir transmitter in control center? [15:01] I think that just sets up the config files which you should have by following that forum post [15:01] ok, got a fail on starting remote control daemon: lirc [15:01] does it say anything interesting? [15:01] ok. done it again after closing control center and get an ok for all 3 [15:02] still nothing after irw and pressing the buttons though [15:04] hmm usually it works at this point :) [15:04] :( [15:05] If there are no errors from /et..../lirc restart or irw, it is probably one of the config files which is wrong somehow, from the forum post [15:06] think it's worth copying and pasting them again? did you use those ones? [15:06] yes i used those. [15:07] hmm i did also have to do the hal stuff (first reply in that forum post) when i first did this, but alledgedly that should be fixed now. its another thing to try though [15:08] although i think i got crap out in irw when i pressed the arrows keys, which meant i needed to do that. No output is probably something different [15:09] when try running mythtv backend setup it always shows me "No Unup" backends found" and then "cannot login into database". Please help [15:09] ??????????? [15:13] so you recon copying in the code in the first reply into the /usr/shar/hal etc might be worth a try? [15:15] well when i did this, the remotes arrow keys worked, but not any of the other buttons, and that fixed it. [15:15] So its not quite the same [15:15] But it probably wont hurt anything either... [15:16] where would i put it within the file? there's something similar in there, but without the "inside an usb dvb receiver" etc [15:18] hmmm. well i've put it in, and now rebooting...... [15:19] i dont think that file existed when i did it [15:19] so maybe that is the "fixed" one [15:25] hmmm. no difference. ;( [15:30] right, got stuff appearing in irw! [15:31] stuff that looks like they are labled button presses? [15:31] yup! [15:31] looks like it's working in the menus... [15:31] now trying whilst watching tv [15:32] yeah, it works. takes ages to change channel though - think that could be down to having bugger all ram? [15:33] maybe. Mine takes a few seconds, max about 5 i think [15:33] thank you very much for your help, patience and perseverence [15:34] you're welcome :) [16:07] rgd - you still around? have a question for you [16:07] yep [16:08] when selecting through channels, it seems that it only sticks to bbc channels when i press up and down. something to do with the same multiplex? [16:12] as in it wont change to other channels? Or the channels aren't listed? [16:13] both. after a reset they're all listed, but after some time (and perhaps me trying to record something) if i'm on a bbc channel, it will go from bbc1, to 2, bbc4, 7, cbeebies etc. nothing inbetween. :s [16:16] oh. I've never seen that i'm afraid. [16:16] There is a "log grabber" application in the xfce menu which grabs lots of mythtv logs. maybe those will give you a clue? [16:17] ok thanks [16:18] hmmm. looks like it had something to do with after i pressed record. [16:24] If all the tuners are busy recording, maybe it constrains you to channels in the same multiplex? [17:02] little disappointed about the time it takes to change channels. anything that can be done about that? [17:12] btw is mythexport supposed to work? [17:13] without hacking around, and rebuilding packages? [17:16] rhpot1991, ^ [17:17] tmkt: it should for the most part, going to have some ffmpeg issue on karmic still [17:17] tmkt: whats the issue? [17:18] when i tried last week [17:19] with a special build of ffmpeg [17:19] once i synched the podcast with my phone [17:19] special build from where? [17:19] the iphone complained that it couldn't play the videos [17:19] just following instructions on adding xvid and h264 faac codecs to ffmpeg [17:19] the ffmpeg lines it produces are meant to use with ubuntu's ffmpeg, if you have another you will need to adjust acordingly [17:19] tmkt: what version of ubuntu/ [17:19] ? [17:19] 9.10b [17:20] :( [17:20] ya we lost aac in ffmpeg for karmic, and its not coming back [17:20] the videos played fine in itunes [17:21] in theory you should be able to just use mp3 instead, swap in -acodec libmp3lame [17:21] but errored out on iphone [17:21] ok [17:21] my test failed when my friend tried it on his iphone though [17:21] and my ipod is busted so its a little slow testing [17:22] would love to have it working [17:22] tmkt: what I would do, is get an ffmpeg line from the log, and then run it by hand a few times and try tweaking it till you get something working [17:23] yeah...thing is....lately the ffmpeg line has disapeared from the logs [17:23] it opens up the ffmpeg args in the config so its fixable once we figure out what we can produce that the ipod likes withour current ffmpeg [17:24] hmmm, no spaces or special chars in your config name right? [17:24] nope [17:24] just default [17:25] what version are you on? [17:26] of? [17:26] dpkg -l |grep mythexport [17:26] ii mythexport 2.1.2-0ubuntu1 [17:28] ok good make sure you did this: MythExport now logs everything to /var/log/mythtv/mythexport.log If you are having issues see the log for relevant information. By default, debugging info is not logged. To enable it, edit /etc/init.d/mythexport and add "debug" to the ARGS variable. Then sudo /etc/init.d/mythexport restart [17:28] see if you get ffmpeg lines then [17:30] k..look into it shortly...gotta wlak kid to school [17:31] tmkt: ok ping me when you have a look, I'll do some more ipod tests this afternoon [17:57] going to give it a shot now [18:00] nothing showimng up in the q [18:02] Export Recording to iPhone (Errored: Fri Oct 16, 2009, 01:00 PM) [18:02] ERROR: Unable to find executable, check backend logs.

Under "Recording Schedules" that show is listed 3 times (probably the 3 times I told it to record because the radio button kept coming up wrong) [23:59] ok yeah if I delete two of them things seem to be back the way they should be
