jeffjeffdejeffanyone know why certain channels seem to suddenly disappear when i'm scrolling through the channel listing?00:51
Eggheadjust installed 9.10 beta, and trying to get mythbuntu-diskless-server working. imusing a usb flash drive made using 9.04 thru mcc, but client gets an error on boot, i think its the flash drive isnt configed for 9.10 (or changes in ltsp/or nbd server)  is there a way to make the usb flash with 9.10, maybe by running a script or a utility? any ideas?02:07
wolfspiritI'm on mythbuntu 9.10 (formally on 9.04 which worked fine).  my problem is in the intial setup.  the previous version (at least I don't remember) didn't lock me into scanning between a specific range.  None of the ranges listed has the channels I need.  I need the special 5-1, 9-1 HD channels with the dash in them.  I usually select cable high, how should I correct this?02:22
NeoFaxCan someone help setup my remote frontend to connect to my backend?02:31
Eggheadneo i can try02:34
NeoFaxThanks!02:34
Eggheadwhat version of mythbutnu you running02:34
NeoFaxHere is what I have:  The server IP is 192.168.1.8 on Mythbuntu 9.1002:34
NeoFaxThe mythbuntu backend setup has 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.8 port654302:35
wolfspiritthose are internal addresses02:35
NeoFaxWhen I installed it I set the backend to allow connections from anywhere.02:35
NeoFaxCorrect, on my LAN02:35
wolfspiritdon't you want him to connect to your computer? or just walk you through it02:36
NeoFaxI am now trying to connect from 192.168.1.9, but it just sits there and then dies.02:36
NeoFaxWalk me through it please02:37
Eggheadon fe it points to be, ie to 1.8?02:37
NeoFaxYes02:37
Eggheadok02:37
NeoFaxIt says: Testing network connectivity to '192.168.1.8'02:37
Eggheadcan u ping 1.8? from 1.902:37
NeoFaxYes, I am ssh'd into it and VNC as well right now02:38
Eggheadok02:38
NeoFaxTo me it seems like the FE cannot connect to the mysql server.02:38
wolfspiritthe issue I ALWAYS run into with this is that mysql on the server needs to be configured to allow remote connections to come in02:38
NeoFaxHowever, I specifically told the installer to allow this02:39
wolfspirityou have to edit your mysql conf file under /etc/mysql02:39
Eggheadyea, when setting up did you tell the be it will have other fe's?02:39
Eggheadahhh02:39
wolfspiritI think you change the address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.002:40
Eggheadyes02:40
wolfspiritand restart mysql.. I had to fool around with it for a bit to get it working correctly02:40
Eggheadin be setup02:40
wolfspiritno I meant in the mysql conf file02:40
wolfspiritin the be setup you have to specify the actual ip address as opposed to localhost even though the server is running on local host02:41
NeoFaxI did that on the BE02:41
Eggheadin both places02:41
wolfspirityeah check your mysql conf file too02:41
NeoFaxOn the BE mythbackend-setup General it says 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.802:42
wolfspirityup on the remote FE too02:42
Eggheadhmmm i donno02:43
NeoFaxThey are all set that way and I just tried 0.0.0.0 on my.cnf and 192.168.1.8 in my.cnf as well.  Same problem.02:43
wolfspiritand you restarted the service?02:44
Eggheadi can say this i had a hella time with network manager in9.10, had to setup the network manually, and even remove network manager to get thing working02:44
NeoFaxboth times02:44
wolfspiritI can't even get my card to scan channels anymore in 9.1002:44
wolfspirit:(02:44
wolfspiritI may have to go back to 9.04 if I don't figure this out in a week or so02:44
Eggheadyea i think somethings arnt working in 9.10 so well, i thinking same here02:45
Eggheadim trying to get the diskless server up and running, havent even tried the connecting from fe yet02:46
Eggheadsounds like ill have some fun there too :) lol02:46
Eggheadwolf u may wanna try reinstalling02:47
wolfspiritfor some reason this version is locking me into a specific range to scan channels and I don't remember previous versions of myth doing that02:47
NeoFaxThis worked so well on previous versions.02:48
wolfspirithave you tried mythdora?  :P02:49
wolfspiritI have that running on a standalone frontend02:49
Eggheadneo, yea i cant remember having any issues with it b4, well maybe in begining finding the password ect02:49
wolfspirithey does the mythtv-setup have a log file somewhere?02:51
superm1wolfspirit, it runs in a terminal window while mythtv-setup is running02:52
superm1alt-tab over to see it02:52
superm1Egghead, check with laga on what's broke with diskless02:52
superm1he was working on it and i dont know what he did/didn't finish02:53
Eggheadsuperm1, ok thanks02:54
NeoFaxsuperm1: Do you know why I cannot connect by FE to my BE over local LAN?02:55
superm1NeoFax, check /etc/mysql/mythtv.cnf02:55
superm1see what it's set to02:55
NeoFaxthe user mythtv is allowed to connect from any host02:55
NeoFaxI don't have that file02:55
superm1normally mcc will reconfigure the mysql binding though02:56
NeoFaxI only have debian.cnf and my.cnf02:56
superm1sorry, /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf02:56
superm1that's what MCC changes when you enable mysql02:56
NeoFaxIt says: bind-address=0.0.0.002:56
NeoFaxWant me to change it to 192.168.1.8 like the BE?02:57
NeoFaxAnd change back the my.cnf to 127.0.0.1?02:57
superm1it should be 0.0.0.002:58
superm1but is it commented out or not?02:58
NeoFaxin mythtv.cnf it is not commented nor in my.cnf02:58
superm1the setting in /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.conf trumps the setting in my.cnf i believe03:00
superm1best thing to do now, is look at netstat -ant03:00
superm1You should see these two lines:03:00
superm1tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:3306            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN03:00
superm1tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6543            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN03:00
NeoFaxOK, have those along with 192.168.1.8:654303:01
superm1Yup that's correct then03:01
superm1did you set the master backend ip in mythtv-setup?03:01
NeoFaxtcp        0      0 192.168.1.8:6543        192.168.1.9:54166       ESTABLISHED03:01
NeoFaxtcp        0      0 192.168.1.8:6543        192.168.1.9:52782       ESTABLISHED03:01
superm1okay so everything is working, carry on:)03:02
NeoFaxYes, it is 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.8 for the top and bottom lines03:02
NeoFaxNo, I do not get anything on my frontend03:02
superm1run it from a terminal and see why03:02
NeoFaxNothing in the logs as well.03:02
superm1are you sure the timezones are the same?03:02
NeoFaxThey are set via ntp03:03
superm1hm03:04
superm1okay lets see mythfrontend terminal output. *nothing* stands out to you?03:04
NeoFaxhere is the text on running in a terminal: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m2a83a1b203:04
superm1and are the values in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and ~/.mythtv/config.xml valid?03:08
superm1that's toally bizarre otherwise03:08
superm1you might need to increase the type of log verbosity on mythfrontend03:08
superm1like mythfrontend -v all03:09
NeoFaxmysql.txt is, but I do not have a config.xml03:09
superm1that's fine03:09
superm1just if you have it need to make sure it's right03:09
NeoFaxI tried the -v all and it stops at MediaRenderer::HttpServer Create Error03:09
NeoFaxHere is the full error: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m6855043d03:10
superm1try mythfrontend -d03:11
superm1i'm not sure that fully turns off the upnp code, but i'm suspecting that's the failure point03:12
NeoFaxHere is my mysql.txt:  http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m51159e8703:12
superm1do you have any other UPNP devices on your network?03:12
NeoFaxNot that I know of.03:13
NeoFaxNormally I run everything with static IPs and my router does not have anything showing under the UPNP page03:13
superm1i suspect upnp being the problem because here's a "functional" -v all beginning: http://pastebin.com/f22b9edfa03:14
superm1upnp is the first thing that initializes after the httpserver03:14
superm1some windows PC apps might speak upnp, and the backend does too03:15
NeoFaxI run only linux03:16
wolfspiritsome routers have it03:16
NeoFaxLinksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT v24sp103:16
NeoFaxSo, if libgmythupnp0 is not installed on the frontend I may have problems?03:20
superm1no, that's not a supported library anymore03:21
superm1NeoFax, try disabling the backend upnp code, see if that helps out at all03:22
NeoFaxHow do I do that?03:22
superm1NeoFax, edit /etc/default/mythtv-backend and add "--noupnp" to ARGS03:23
superm1followed by "sudo service mythtv-backend restart"03:23
NeoFaxGot further that time, but still didn't open03:25
superm1what's -v all showing now?03:25
NeoFaxHere is the log: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m6ae1a4c903:26
superm1and 192.168.1.9 is that machien?03:28
NeoFaxYes03:28
NeoFaxIt is the FE03:28
superm1hmm.  do you have any other services on this machine that might possibly be interfering?03:29
NeoFaxNo, should only have the myth setup03:30
NeoFaxI on purposely set it to be just a myth system.  I can check though03:30
NeoFaxHere is my netstat -ant:  http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m77f70f8003:31
superm1i'm really not sure03:33
superm1everything looks configured right03:33
NeoFaxThat is what I was fearing.03:33
NeoFaxI guess I will just have to watch the shows in the other room then.  Can I use XBMC to connect remotely maybe?03:34
superm1well surely whatever this is causing this can be removed, there's lots of us with remote frontends set up03:34
superm1just start pulling variables out of your network03:34
superm1extra devices, extra things listening on ports on either machine03:35
superm1and on that router, check i you have a upnp package installed even if it's not showing up on that upnp page03:35
superm1i know you can with openwrt03:35
superm1ddwrt i'm not sure03:36
NeoFaxI may just format the router and put tomato on it03:36
superm1if you can hook up your machines directly to one another with a static ip, that can take the router variable out at least03:37
superm1(temporarily)03:37
NeoFaxI have a crossover cable somewhere03:39
Eggheaddoes anyon know how to make a usb flash drive boot into mythbuntu-diskless-serve (ltsp) in 9.10?04:27
NeoFaxsuperm1:  I have been playing around with it and was able to get the FE on the BE to work by changing the port to 3306.  However, looking at the logs now all I get is:05:29
NeoFaxWould you like to configure the database connection now? [no]05:29
NeoFax[console is not interactive, using default 'no']05:29
abongileHi All I am new to linux but trying to learn. I can't get into Mythbuntu Control Centre I get "Failed to run /usr/share/mythbuntu-control-centre/bin/mythbuntu-control-centre as user root. And Unabale to copy the user's Xauthorisation file. Please help.  I noticed this after having followed some on-line instructions to mount my second internal hard hard drive.  It is now mounted and have put some data on it.  I am afraid of reboo10:42
oobeabongile, run mythbuntu-control-centre as a normal user11:21
oobeand it should prompt you for a password11:21
roy_hobbsHey, I'm having trouble with a new install of mythbuntu 9.10b. It asked me about my remote when I installed, but it's not responding.13:08
roy_hobbsI have one of these Windows Media things with an IR Receiver and Transmitter in one (It has a Phillips signature).13:09
minikhow big is the mythbuntu 9.04 download?13:43
hadsCD size13:49
minikok13:51
minikcan I install it using the update manager?13:51
henrypainteris there any chance of getting myth to work with PHC3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/RC TV Tuner Card PCI Interface?14:11
=== _Mazga is now known as Mazga
squegieanyone familiar with vdpau?17:56
squegiei have it working to the point where I can manually run mplayer and play the file (via either command line switches or mplayer.conf) but when i play the same file in myth, it plays without vdpau17:57
superm1squegie, you need to make a vdpau profile in tv settings18:02
superm1it's not made by default (currently)18:02
squegieok, i did see something about profiles and displays, but not where to do so18:08
squegieI looked at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Playback_profiles and http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#Display_Profiles but do not know where to edit these profiles18:12
squegiei'm looking under tv settings now18:12
squegieok, i found it18:14
squegiei never go into tv settings because I just use this for video playback18:15
squegiesweet, got it working!18:18
* hads wonders what 'TFW: Taking a long time to flush..' means20:56
wolfspiritmy card worked fine in mythbuntu 9.04 but in 9.10 it no longer finds any channels when scanning.  it's a pchdtv 5500 but shows up as a 300023:09
superm1you might need to install firmware for it23:14
superm1linux-firmware-nonfree i thinks23:14
hadsHeh, mcc suggests konqueror somehow.23:39
wolfspiritsuperm1: after I install that what do I do?  do I just reboot or is there a modprobe command I should run?23:40
superm1wolfspirit, check if dmesg shows anything about loading that firmware successffully23:48
superm1if not, reboot23:48
