[00:05] <pepinito>  Hi! I m having a strange problem. Chanel Up and Channel Down works ok, but when change channel by number mythtv fails. Any ideas?
 Btw, this is my log error:
 2009-11-08 20:36:28.889 MythSocket(251e7a0:38): readStringList: Error, timed out after 7000 ms.
 2009-11-08 20:36:28.889 RemoteEncoder::SendReceiveStringList(): No response.

 2009-11-08 20:36:28.917 TV: Attempting to change from Watching WatchingLiveTV to None
 And I m running backend and frontend in the same machine.
[02:06] <Androktasie> Hello, I just finished installing from scratch mythbuntu 9.10, and am having a problem with the channel changing function.
[02:06] <Androktasie> Mythbuntu Control Centre is set up to use Microsoft Windows Media Center v2 USB: Motorola Cable Box, and I have copied the change-channel-lirc.pl script to / with 777 permissions, modified it to use DCT2000 as the remote name and hit 'OK' after entering the channel number, and setup mythtv-backend to use the script.  If I were to manually test the script from the command line, it changes the...
[02:06] <Androktasie> ...channel just fine.
[02:06] <Androktasie> However, when I launch Live TV or change the channel within MythFrontend, it will repeatedly change the channel in a loop until I hit BACK on my media center remote.  Is there anything that can be done to prevent this from happening?
[02:14] <Androktasie> logs are here: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f327dd5c8
[02:29] <BlueCamel> are you having trouble writing to /var/lib/mythtv/livetv/ ?
[02:29] <BlueCamel> myth keeps the livetv files there for the buffer
[02:29] <BlueCamel> line 41, 65, 88 in the pastebin log
[02:30] <BlueCamel> it hates that file/dir it seems
[02:33] <Androktasie> hmm, yea it does seem to hate it but im not sure why.  as far as i can tell the directory is writeable
[02:33] <Androktasie> drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 2009-11-08 20:26 livetv
[02:33] <BlueCamel> with your frontend shutdown it should be safe to empty that dir out and try again after
[02:33] <Androktasie> that's the curious part, it's already empty
[02:34] <Androktasie> this is coming from a fresh install from the installation CDs... twice
[02:34] <Androktasie> AMD64 i might add
[02:35] <BlueCamel> start "mythfrontend -v all > frontend.log" and replicate the problem again
[02:35] <Androktasie> alright
[02:35] <BlueCamel> maybe the extra verbose logging will provide more of a clue
[02:41] <Androktasie> still uploading.  was too big for pastebin
[02:42] <BlueCamel> likely the 100 lines around the same error would be good enough.
[02:42] <BlueCamel> did you look and see what was happening before it complained about the files in the livetv dir?
[02:43] <Androktasie> http://herebetwig.com/pub/temp/frontend.log
[02:43] <Androktasie> i only checked the backend.log file but was unable to see anything that would cause such a problem
[02:43] <Androktasie> then again im still pretty newb at this
[02:44] <BlueCamel> duh, good point
[02:44] <BlueCamel> that error was in the backend log
[02:44] <BlueCamel> verbose frontend log likely won't help :)
[02:44] <BlueCamel> what's the exact timestamp of the last livetv error in teh backend log?
[02:45] <Androktasie> the one i posted earlier?  lemme check
[02:45] <BlueCamel> the one from the latest test
[02:45] <BlueCamel> maybe the time ts in the backend log of the error syncs up with an event in this frontend log
[02:46] <Androktasie> ah.  lemme run another log scan then so it's refreshed
[02:46] <Androktasie> http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f108c024c
[02:47] <Androktasie> 2009-11-08 20:21:12.412 TV Error: StartRecorder() -- timed out waiting for recorder to start
[02:47] <Androktasie> err im sorry thats from frontend
[02:48] <BlueCamel> yeah
[02:48] <BlueCamel> so, anyway, not sure exactly
[02:48] <BlueCamel> this ever work?
[02:48] <Androktasie> from 7.10 through 9.04 yes
[02:49] <Androktasie> the only difference i can think of was they were all using mythtv .21 i think
[02:50] <Androktasie> thanks for your help btw
[02:50] <Androktasie> i know this can be frusterating :?
[02:50] <BlueCamel> sorry, not much help
[02:52] <Androktasie> brb
[02:55] <Androktasie> back
[13:02] <arrhamphus> Is anyone out there that can help with a mysql db situation?
[14:04] <MythbuntuGuest64> I'm trying to upgrade my MythTV Boxes to .22-fixes. I run the MythRepos package and it doesn't give me a choice. When I look in the software sources tab it says .22-trunk. What am I doing wrong?
[14:24] <tgm4883> MythbuntuGuest64, forget about the name of the repo, .22-trunk == .22-fixes
[14:26] <MythbuntuGuest64> Oh ok. Thanks. The documentation made it sound like there was a difference.
[15:01] <tmkt> morning
[17:36] <zurcherart> Hi. Just installed first Mythbuntu installation (9.10).  Wanted it to install side by side with existing Ubuntu 9.04... install completed but it doesn't give me choice to boot into Mythbuntu ... just books into older 9.04 Ubuntu.  Did I miss a step on configuring the boot loader?  Is there an easy way to correct it so it will boot to mythbuntu?
[17:53] <superm1> zurcherart, check if maybe the entries are in the grub config and just not selected by default
[17:53] <superm1> press either shift or esc at the grub menu (or lack there of) to see
[17:53] <zurcherart> thanks superm1 .... I did that and the entries weren't there ... just 9.04 and the various recovery options
[17:54] <superm1> zurcherart, interesting.  did you install on another drive?
[17:55] <whoDat_> did something break in 9.10 with the 'fetch channels from listings source' button in mythtv-setup? I can't get it to work for any new video sources (pulling from schedules direct grabber) that I create
[17:55] <whoDat_> the button still works for my the existing sources I already had.
[17:55] <zurcherart> no superm .. same drive new partition (first time I've done dual boot ... so I'm a bit iffy on the concept :)
[17:56] <superm1> i certainly hope it didnt break whoDat_
[17:56] <whoDat_> hehe
[17:56] <superm1> check the terminal output(alt tab to see)
[17:56] <whoDat_> doh , good idea ;)
[17:56] <superm1> zurcherart, hm i wonder if the logic somewhere didn't like you doing it that way
[17:57] <superm1> do you know if you were using a DOS style MBR, or grub on the MBR?
[17:57] <whoDat_> "stopping channel fetch, you need to scan for channels first"
[17:57] <whoDat_> wtf
[17:57] <superm1> there ya go
[17:57] <superm1> :)
[17:57] <whoDat_> i dont want a hard scan i want them from the grabber
[17:57] <superm1> that does seem uber stupid though
[17:58] <whoDat_> if i do the scan its gonna find a bunch of channels i dont want, isnt it?
[17:58] <whoDat_> i just want the ones i selected from my schedules direct grabber
[17:59] <whoDat_> i dont think that was a requirement before?
[17:59] <superm1> check with the kids in #mythtv-users if they have any ideas of another way around that
[17:59] <whoDat_> k
[17:59] <zurcherart> grub on the MBR afaik ... suspect that the new boot partition was not recorded in the grub config at install?  (Did I choose the wrong question about that during the Mythbuntu install? ... probably ....)
[18:00] <superm1> zurcherart, so what probably happened then is that grub got installed onto the new partition
[18:00] <superm1> if you add a chainload entry to the new partition, you should be able to get to it
[18:01] <superm1> you'll have to google a little bit on how to do that.  alternatively, just wipe the new partition, reinstall, and make sure you pick to install the new grub to the MBR
[18:02] <zurcherart> ok ... that sounds like a plan ... thanks for handling the noobish question!
[21:30] <Guest82402> grr
[21:31] <Guest82402> Had a quick question, whats the suggested vid capture card to use with myth?
[21:34] <hads> Your question was too quick.
[23:02] <`ph8> hi mythers! I've just installed and started using Gnome (in 9.10/latest stable) - annoying though the mythtv frontend doesn't appear over the gnome taskbars, it appears sandwiched between them! Does anyone know a way around this?
[23:05] <hads> Try disabling compositing.
