[00:23] is I have vanilla ubuntu installed, is there a repo I can add to my sources file to get the latest mythbuntu packages? [00:23] *if I have...

[00:26] crankharder, ^^ Don't use the US repo right now, it's broke :( === _Mazga is now known as Mazga [00:42] I'm looking for the line to add to my sources file [00:47] k, thanx guys [00:51] anyone know why certain channels seem to suddenly disappear when i'm scrolling through the channel listing? [02:07] just 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? [02:22] I'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? [02:31] Can someone help setup my remote frontend to connect to my backend? [02:34] neo i can try [02:34] Thanks! [02:34] what version of mythbutnu you running [02:34] Here is what I have: The server IP is 192.168.1.8 on Mythbuntu 9.10 [02:35] The mythbuntu backend setup has 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.8 port6543 [02:35] those are internal addresses [02:35] When I installed it I set the backend to allow connections from anywhere. [02:35] Correct, on my LAN [02:36] don't you want him to connect to your computer? or just walk you through it [02:36] I am now trying to connect from 192.168.1.9, but it just sits there and then dies. [02:37] Walk me through it please [02:37] on fe it points to be, ie to 1.8? [02:37] Yes [02:37] ok [02:37] It says: Testing network connectivity to '192.168.1.8' [02:37] can u ping 1.8? from 1.9 [02:38] Yes, I am ssh'd into it and VNC as well right now [02:38] ok [02:38] To me it seems like the FE cannot connect to the mysql server. [02:38] the issue I ALWAYS run into with this is that mysql on the server needs to be configured to allow remote connections to come in [02:39] However, I specifically told the installer to allow this [02:39] you have to edit your mysql conf file under /etc/mysql [02:39] yea, when setting up did you tell the be it will have other fe's? [02:39] ahhh [02:40] I think you change the address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 [02:40] yes [02:40] and restart mysql.. I had to fool around with it for a bit to get it working correctly [02:40] in be setup [02:40] no I meant in the mysql conf file [02:41] in the be setup you have to specify the actual ip address as opposed to localhost even though the server is running on local host [02:41] I did that on the BE [02:41] in both places [02:41] yeah check your mysql conf file too [02:42] On the BE mythbackend-setup General it says 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.8 [02:42] yup on the remote FE too [02:43] hmmm i donno [02:43] They 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. [02:44] and you restarted the service? [02:44] i 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 working [02:44] both times [02:44] I can't even get my card to scan channels anymore in 9.10 [02:44] :( [02:44] I may have to go back to 9.04 if I don't figure this out in a week or so [02:45] yea i think somethings arnt working in 9.10 so well, i thinking same here [02:46] im trying to get the diskless server up and running, havent even tried the connecting from fe yet [02:46] sounds like ill have some fun there too :) lol [02:47] wolf u may wanna try reinstalling [02:47] for some reason this version is locking me into a specific range to scan channels and I don't remember previous versions of myth doing that [02:48] This worked so well on previous versions. [02:49] have you tried mythdora? :P [02:49] I have that running on a standalone frontend [02:49] neo, yea i cant remember having any issues with it b4, well maybe in begining finding the password ect [02:51] hey does the mythtv-setup have a log file somewhere? [02:52] wolfspirit, it runs in a terminal window while mythtv-setup is running [02:52] alt-tab over to see it [02:52] Egghead, check with laga on what's broke with diskless [02:53] he was working on it and i dont know what he did/didn't finish [02:54] superm1, ok thanks [02:55] superm1: Do you know why I cannot connect by FE to my BE over local LAN? [02:55] NeoFax, check /etc/mysql/mythtv.cnf [02:55] see what it's set to [02:55] the user mythtv is allowed to connect from any host [02:55] I don't have that file [02:56] normally mcc will reconfigure the mysql binding though [02:56] I only have debian.cnf and my.cnf [02:56] sorry, /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf [02:56] that's what MCC changes when you enable mysql [02:56] It says: bind-address=0.0.0.0 [02:57] Want me to change it to 192.168.1.8 like the BE? [02:57] And change back the my.cnf to 127.0.0.1? [02:58] it should be 0.0.0.0 [02:58] but is it commented out or not? [02:58] in mythtv.cnf it is not commented nor in my.cnf [03:00] the setting in /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.conf trumps the setting in my.cnf i believe [03:00] best thing to do now, is look at netstat -ant [03:00] You should see these two lines: [03:00] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [03:00] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6543 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [03:01] OK, have those along with 192.168.1.8:6543 [03:01] Yup that's correct then [03:01] did you set the master backend ip in mythtv-setup? [03:01] tcp 0 0 192.168.1.8:6543 192.168.1.9:54166 ESTABLISHED [03:01] tcp 0 0 192.168.1.8:6543 192.168.1.9:52782 ESTABLISHED [03:02] okay so everything is working, carry on:) [03:02] Yes, it is 192.168.1.8 and 192.168.1.8 for the top and bottom lines [03:02] No, I do not get anything on my frontend [03:02] run it from a terminal and see why [03:02] Nothing in the logs as well. [03:02] are you sure the timezones are the same? [03:03] They are set via ntp [03:04] hm [03:04] okay lets see mythfrontend terminal output. *nothing* stands out to you? [03:04] here is the text on running in a terminal: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m2a83a1b2 [03:08] and are the values in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and ~/.mythtv/config.xml valid? [03:08] that's toally bizarre otherwise [03:08] you might need to increase the type of log verbosity on mythfrontend [03:09] like mythfrontend -v all [03:09] mysql.txt is, but I do not have a config.xml [03:09] that's fine [03:09] just if you have it need to make sure it's right [03:09] I tried the -v all and it stops at MediaRenderer::HttpServer Create Error [03:10] Here is the full error: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m6855043d [03:11] try mythfrontend -d [03:12] i'm not sure that fully turns off the upnp code, but i'm suspecting that's the failure point [03:12] Here is my mysql.txt: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m51159e87 [03:12] do you have any other UPNP devices on your network? [03:13] Not that I know of. [03:13] Normally I run everything with static IPs and my router does not have anything showing under the UPNP page [03:14] i suspect upnp being the problem because here's a "functional" -v all beginning: http://pastebin.com/f22b9edfa [03:14] upnp is the first thing that initializes after the httpserver [03:15] some windows PC apps might speak upnp, and the backend does too [03:16] I run only linux [03:16] some routers have it [03:16] Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT v24sp1 [03:20] So, if libgmythupnp0 is not installed on the frontend I may have problems? [03:21] no, that's not a supported library anymore [03:22] NeoFax, try disabling the backend upnp code, see if that helps out at all [03:22] How do I do that? [03:23] NeoFax, edit /etc/default/mythtv-backend and add "--noupnp" to ARGS [03:23] followed by "sudo service mythtv-backend restart" [03:25] Got further that time, but still didn't open [03:25] what's -v all showing now? [03:26] Here is the log: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m6ae1a4c9 [03:28] and 192.168.1.9 is that machien? [03:28] Yes [03:28] It is the FE [03:29] hmm. do you have any other services on this machine that might possibly be interfering? [03:30] No, should only have the myth setup [03:30] I on purposely set it to be just a myth system. I can check though [03:31] Here is my netstat -ant: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/m77f70f80 [03:33] i'm really not sure [03:33] everything looks configured right [03:33] That is what I was fearing. [03:34] I guess I will just have to watch the shows in the other room then. Can I use XBMC to connect remotely maybe? [03:34] well surely whatever this is causing this can be removed, there's lots of us with remote frontends set up [03:34] just start pulling variables out of your network [03:35] extra devices, extra things listening on ports on either machine [03:35] and on that router, check i you have a upnp package installed even if it's not showing up on that upnp page [03:35] i know you can with openwrt [03:36] ddwrt i'm not sure [03:36] I may just format the router and put tomato on it [03:37] if you can hook up your machines directly to one another with a static ip, that can take the router variable out at least [03:37] (temporarily) [03:39] I have a crossover cable somewhere [04:27] does anyon know how to make a usb flash drive boot into mythbuntu-diskless-serve (ltsp) in 9.10? [05:29] superm1: 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] Would you like to configure the database connection now? [no] [05:29] [console is not interactive, using default 'no'] [10:42] Hi 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 reboo [11:21] abongile, run mythbuntu-control-centre as a normal user [11:21] and it should prompt you for a password [13:08] Hey, 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. [13:09] I have one of these Windows Media things with an IR Receiver and Transmitter in one (It has a Phillips signature). [13:43] how big is the mythbuntu 9.04 download? [13:49] CD size [13:51] ok [13:51] can I install it using the update manager? [14:11] is there any chance of getting myth to work with PHC3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/RC TV Tuner Card PCI Interface? === _Mazga is now known as Mazga [17:56] anyone familiar with vdpau? [17:57] i 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 vdpau [18:02] squegie, you need to make a vdpau profile in tv settings [18:02] it's not made by default (currently) [18:08] ok, i did see something about profiles and displays, but not where to do so [18:12] I 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 profiles [18:12] i'm looking under tv settings now [18:14] ok, i found it [18:15] i never go into tv settings because I just use this for video playback [18:18] sweet, got it working! [20:56] * hads wonders what 'TFW: Taking a long time to flush..' means [23:09] my 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 3000 [23:14] you might need to install firmware for it [23:14] linux-firmware-nonfree i thinks [23:39] Heh, mcc suggests konqueror somehow. [23:40] superm1: after I install that what do I do? do I just reboot or is there a modprobe command I should run? [23:48] wolfspirit, check if dmesg shows anything about loading that firmware successffully [23:48] if not, reboot
