Josh____whoever said debian is a hard distro to run myth on, I disagree completely. It was relatively painless to set up, and I only had to enable one third-party repo.01:15
hadsThanks for letting us know.01:16
spiderwormi bought a case that came with a motherboard.  the motherboard had an onboard nvidia video card with HDMI out and onboard sound card.  i am trying to get the HDMI audio out working but im starting to suspect that my motherboard doesnt support audio through the HDMI cable.  is that possible?01:56
baz_directhex, how'd u do that02:47
TechnophilCan anyone tell me what to do to change from a JYA repo to use the daily builds as noted at http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds please?03:59
TechnophilI assume I untick his repo in synaptic, but then what?03:59
* rhpot1991 waves at Technophil 04:00
hipitihopspiderworm, I have a POV ION 330 board and I suspected the same thing. I had to go into alsamixer and enable the correct switch and also set mythtv sound output the HDMI04:00
rhpot1991hipitihop: he is gone I think04:01
Technophilrhpot1991: Great to see you here Dude!04:02
TechnophilHmmm  I've installed the daily build repo manager software, doing an update in synaptic it is telling me it will install nvidia-185-modaliases however my system is currently configured with 190.42, is that compatible or is a 190 version required?  (Should I mark and install or not?)04:22
rhpot1991Technophil: 190.42 should be available from the daily builds server, but you might be hitting some dependency issues there04:41
rhpot1991maybe see if installing nvidia-gld-190 or libvdpau1 first helps04:41
rhpot1991nvidia-glx-19004:41
Technophilnvidia-glx-190 is already installed, once JYA's repo is activated one uninstalls nvidia-glx-185 by installing nvidia-glx-190, which then pulls down the latest in his repo, which is also currently 190.42.04:44
Technophillibvdpau1  (0.2-0ubuntu15) is also already installed.04:45
TechnophilActually looking more into synaptic nvidia-185-modaliases is already installed and it is flagging it should be updated from "185.18.36-0ubuntu9" to  "185.18.36-0ubuntu9+ppa2".    nvidia-190-modaliases is there but not installed!  Hmmm  I guess that should be ok then.04:48
hadsMay be conflicting versions between repos. You can remove them and reinstall.04:49
hadsThen you know you are using packages from the new repository.04:49
TechnophilI wondered, but then it seems to be working ok with 190.42 installed under nvidia-185-modaliases  !04:50
hadsIt may well work fine with packages from both repositories installed.04:51
TechnophilWill let you know!04:51
hadsThe modaliases is just for jockey - the Hardware Drivers applet.04:51
hadsIt's not actually something that's used day to day.04:52
Technophilok thanks.04:52
TechnophilActually the daily builds only seems to include themes and not mythtv fixesxxxxx04:53
rhpot1991you prob have to dist-upgrade04:54
hadsYeah it does have mythtv packages.04:55
TechnophilSo the only advantages I can see with the JYA repo is that hes got some digital audio stuff and also added some debugging stuff.  Nvidia is as up to date.04:56

jtmoneyi'm running regular ubuntu... if i add the myhbuntu repository, can i upgrade to 0.22 final? do i have to remove my current mythtv packages first?05:47
spiderwormi have this strange problem with gdm since upgrading to 9.10 where i have to log in multiple times before it finally takes me to the desktop environment.  anyone able to help?11:26
Thrae|pcHi, I'm using the latest Mythbuntu x64 and I can't get my http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/AVerTV_HD_A180 to find any channels. The module (saa7134) is properly loaded and there's no associated errors.16:01
Thrae|pcWhile scanning it shows signal bars for the correct frequencies, but MythTV setup says its not a valid channel. Additionally, if I manually add the channels by their frequency, and then try to tune in to any of them, it just sits there for a second and goes back to the main menu.16:02
Thrae|pcThis is all HD-OTA using a dvb device.16:03
Thrae|pcOh, I wouldn't be saying any of this if it didn't work just fine in Windows both 32-bit and 64-bit. Even Windows 7.16:06
gregLThrae|pc, if you type in dmesg at the console does say the card firmware is loaded?16:08
Thrae|pcgregL: Yeah, dmesg is where I'm checking for errors. It's loading it and making /dev/adapter016:10
gregLThrae|pc, I know there has been some problems with loading the firmware in Ubuntu since the update,but i haven't paid attention to the details..You might try doing a search in the mailing list archive,or the ubuntu forums..16:15
Thrae|pcHmm, wouldn't that give an error in dmesg usually?16:16
gregLLike i said i don't really know the issues,but either hang here for a while or check the ML or forums...16:18
gregLThrae|pc, Do you have a different kernel available to you to try? Maybe you could try that..16:20
Thrae|pcHonestly this isn't the first time I tried switching over to Mythbuntu from Windows (god I hate a Windows HTPC, so much overkill). I tried earlier on 8.10 and still couldn't get channels, although this time it would say "cannot update tables" or some such crap.16:22
Thrae|pcIf it was a problem with the kernel, it's been a problem for a while.16:22
Thrae|pcAnd that was a 32-bit kernel too on different hardware (except the same tuner).16:23
Thrae|pcLemme try 8.04.1 just for laughs.16:23
gregLIt's to bad you are having problems..My stuff just works....You can try using dvb scan (i think that s the name of the program) and import your channels that way...16:25
Thrae|pcgregL: Yeah, I already tried entering the frequencies by hand.16:26
Thrae|pcNot using dvb scan, but using the HD OTA table for my zipcode.16:26
Thrae|pcJust to note -- I know I have an old, cheap, crappy HD chipset. I don't feel I really have any room to complain, just looking for possible answers.16:28
gregLDid you let the scan run all the way till it was complete? I know also there is a problem with the channel scan.. I usually let it scan till it stops the for every pop up i chose ignore and it works for me..I don't have a a180 though mine is a air to pc..16:31
Thrae|pcHmmm I had an idea. I could use MythTV or better yet XBMC and configure a script to change the default operating system to boot in grub's menu and issue a hard reboot command, so Windows would only be needed for the occasional HD OTA usage.16:34
gregLI think you can get that card working in Mythtv,it's just a matter of getting the right person to lend you a hand..16:38
Thrae|pcWell that would certainly be the easiest. Just thinking of other solutions with good ROI.16:40

johannes__Hi, I have (also) an upgrade problem related to nvidia and libvdpau. I think others might be run into the same problem. Could anyone give me a quick hint / link. Thanks17:04
johannes__Details can be found here: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d6a910ec417:07
johannes__contains dpkg -l nvidia*, dpkl -l mythtv* and the aptitude conflict messages17:07
Thrae7johannes__: Hmm, did you know the latest stable nvidia proprietary driver is 190.42? I think for best results you should be using that instead of 185.xx, which might fix the problem anyway.17:43
Thrae7johannes__: Overall, from my experience working with video chipset QA, when Nvidia releases a new *nix driver it's pretty stable.17:44
=== Essobi_ is now known as Essobi
johannes__Thrae7: I tried installing 19018:04
johannes__the problem is: mythlib has a dependency to nvidia-180-libvdpau18:04
johannes__that can't be fullfilled18:05
Thrae7johannes__: Does 190.42 install its own version of libdpau?18:05
cba123I got an Acer Aspire Revo R1600, it has an Atom 1.6ghz chip, and an nvidia IONle GPU.  I put mythbuntu karmic on it, and it can handle 1080p with vdpau, but only if I kill mythfrontend first, since it only has 1gig ram.  If I run top over ssh I can see my ram is frequently 50meg free (without frontend) and goes up and down.  Does anyone have one of these and know any other tweaks?  I'll get more ram if I have to, put if18:07
cba123 anyone knows any other software tweaks I'd appreciate it.18:07
johannes__Thrae7: there is no own version of libdpau in 19018:07
johannes__it is contained in the deb18:08
johannes__so the files are there18:08
johannes__but not the hard coded dependency to nvidia-180-libvdpau18:08
Thrae7johannes__: Yeah if you can get the 190 equivalents then you can ignore that error and force it to install.18:11
johannes__Thrae7: Hmm. I try.18:12
johannes__thanks18:12
johannes__do you have a hint how I can "blacklist" a deb?18:14
johannes__nvidia-180-libvdpau can't be installed since it contains the same files as in nvidia-glx-19018:14
Thrae7johannes__: The problem is that it can't install the other deb, so if you use the correct force syntax it'll only install the mythtv crap.18:15
johannes__hmm18:21
johannes__does not work18:21
johannes__can't install  nvidia-180-libvdpau (conflicting files)18:21
johannes__but without it mythbackend doesn't start: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory18:22
johannes__bad luck18:22
Thrae7johannes__: I thought you said you installed the 190 version of libvdpau18:26
johannes__yes18:26
johannes__there is an conflict between nvidia-180-libvdpau and nvidia-19018:26
johannes__but it seems that not all files are installed18:27
johannes__so i am switching back to 18518:27
Thrae7johannes__: One second18:27
Thrae7johannes__: I think I can fix this for you to use 190.18:28
tgm4883why are you installing nvidia-180-libvdpau?18:34
tgm4883install libvbpau1 instead18:34
tgm4883johannes__, Thrae7 ^^18:35
Thrae7tgm4883: Whatever version of mythtv he's installing has nvidia-180-libvdpau has a dependency.18:35
tgm4883yea thats a known issue. Upgrade your packages from the mythbuntu-repos18:35
johannes__tgm4883: What should I do? I have mythbuntu-repos installed18:36
tgm4883johannes__, did you upgrade the mythtv packages?18:36
johannes__yes18:37
johannes__aptitude dist-upgrade18:37
johannes__mythtv-backend; 0.22.0+trunk22851-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu118:37
tgm4883ok18:37
tgm4883and you tried installing nvidia-glx-19018:37
johannes__yes18:38
tgm4883did that install fine?18:38
johannes__nvidia-glx-190 can only installed if mythtv* is removed18:39
johannes__since the dep problem related to nvidia-180-libvdpau18:39
johannes__the problem is libmyth-0.22.018:40
tgm4883iirc, if you allow it to remove mythtv then installing -190 then you can install mythtv just fine afterwords18:40
johannes__there is a dependency: http://pastebin.com/d218f8e6118:40
johannes__to nvidia-185-libvdpau18:40
johannes__but the libmyth-0.22-0 version is 0.22.0+trunk22851-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu118:41
johannes__is that the correct version? Do you have the same?18:41
tgm4883dpkg -l libmyth-0.22-018:41
tgm4883hmm18:41
tgm4883mine is slightly older18:42
Thrae7johannes__: Is apt-cache searching libmyth from the mythbuntu repo? Since it may be getting it from a deb you already downloaded from the main ubuntu repo.18:49
johannes__Thrae7: how can I find out?18:49
Thrae7johannes__: Try apt-cache gencaches18:50
Thrae7Then check the depends again18:50
johannes__nothing changed18:51
Thrae7johannes__: Try apt-cache -i depends18:53

jortanUsing Mythbuntu 9.10 and trying MythBrowser. I can't find any way to add bookmarks. Where do I do that?19:29
jortanFound it. Press 'm' and there is the menu.... sorry19:42
pulaskiHello, I run kubuntu 9.10 karmic koala, I recently installed mythtv in a couple of steps.  I believe I began by using apt-get to install the mythbuntu-control-center, then apt-get install mythtv.  I have found mythtv to be to cumbersome for my old box and a bit of overkill for simply watching dvds through an external player. Now I wish to remove the whole works. I removed the two packages I had installed but the MythTV20:27
pulaski Frontend (MythTV Veiwer) remains.  Does anyone know what that package called so I may remove it?20:27
hadsdpkg -l | grep mythtv20:33
