foxbuntutgm4883, perhaps you should unban me in the other channel?00:30
tgm4883you are not banned00:31
tgm4883alright, home time00:32
Technophilopenmedia: could the problem be hardware based?00:32
Rob_Zso it appears to be something lirc in 9.10 w/my hauppauge card, cause things work just fine in 9.0400:37
tmktRobz what issue?00:42
tmktI had issue with 9.10 and hauppauge 160000:43
Rob_Zdoesn't work at all00:48
Rob_Zirw doesnt' show anything00:48
Rob_Zbut everything works on 9.0400:49
tmktyeah01:00
tmktsame for me01:00
tmktsame card?01:00
tmkthvr-1600?01:00
tmkthttp://old.nabble.com/lirc-i2c-does-no-longer-work-with-Hauppauge-HVR-1300--td25740534.html01:01
tmktgot it working01:01
tmktafraid to reboot right now because of the kernel fixes i saw in the this morning update01:01
Rob_ZI have a 1600 and a 15001:07
Rob_Zthe remotes work for both in 9.04, and don't work in 9.1001:07
Rob_ZI have 2 boxes up, one with each card, so I'll try to figure out what the heck changed, but packages are the same01:08
Rob_Zwith the 9.04 /etc/lirc/* I at least get /dev/lirc0, with the 9.10 I don't get that01:09
Rob_Zbut irw still doesn't read anything.01:09
Rob_Zbut with the holidays coming up and cooking for 26 people I won't have much time.01:09
OpenMediaTechnophil: There is always that chance. RAM has been tested and I've stressed the CPU. It has been running an older Knoppmyth based build for quite some time.01:14
OpenMediaThe only recent change was a CPU upgrade from an X2-3600+ to an X2 5050e01:15
OpenMediaSome guys on the NZ MythTV mailing list are also seeing occasional segfaults as well.01:16
* Rob_Z kicks brown01:35
tmktRobz if you go to lirc01:36
tmktj-rod01:36
tmktsolved it for me in 10 minutes01:36
tmktgave him acces to my box01:36
Rob_Znot going to do that :)01:53
Rob_Zwon't be giving people access to my box, plus want to know why and what to do...cause I'm going to reroll some stuff01:56
abarbacciahey team - just moved mythbuntu to my TV and something about my edid settings on the panel are causing the fonts in mythbuntu to be HUGE03:16
groogsI have a problem with aspect ratios, looking for some guidance. it *was* working okay, and then I had a monitor connected, had to mess with amdcccle (using fglrx driver) to get my hdmi-connected TV working as primary again, and since then, menus are fine, but video all plays squished horizontally. as in, all content is about 3/4 the width it normally would be (height is fine): 16:9 content...03:19
groogs...is about the same screen area/shape as 4:3 would be normally, 4:3 is probably 1/3 the width of the TV03:19
groogsand like an idiot, i forgot to make a backup of xorg.conf when it was actually working. really, i have no clue what is different, i didn't change anything in myth, and like i said, menus are totally fine and fill the full screen03:20

khunthow do I adjust the streaming settings for mythweb. In mythweb I can only see options to enable flash and https09:09
Lunar_LampI have noticed a couple of scripts in mythbuntu that I believe could be improved somewhat.13:42
Lunar_LampWhere can I submit these changes?13:42
Lunar_Lampe.g. the mythvideo cronjob scripts.13:42
mrandLunar_Lamp: Best way that it wouldn't get lost would be to submit a launchpad ticket in the Mythbuntu bucket.  Then the maintainers can determine if it fits with their ideas of what they want to do going forward (or if they want/need to go a different direction).   Just saying don't get disheartened if a proposal doesn't make the cut - they always appreciate the help/thought!15:45
Lunar_Lampmrand: oh yeah, I know that things aren't always accepted etc.15:46
mrandCool.15:46
tmktRob_Z: the link i sent yesterday explains why16:27

superm1mrand, did you give the -dbg packages a shot at all?16:32
superm1there should be both a mythtv-dbg and a mythplugins-dbg on the fixes repo16:32
superm1the trunk repo doesnt have them yet16:32
superm1it was a two line change to fix it on trunk, so trunk should have them too now16:38
mrandsuperm1: *slapsforehead*  I got the mythtv-dbg, but not mythplugins-dbg16:40
mrandGuess that bug report I submitted last night will be a bomb.16:40
mrandI'll try again tonight.16:41
mrand(it has to do with mythvideo)16:41
superm1haha16:43
superm1well luckily enough mythplugins-dbg depends on mythtv-dbg16:43
mrandbut not the other way around, so it didn't install plugings-dbg16:43
superm1right16:43
mrandI'll go cancel the apport run on it.16:43
superm1hopefully users *don't* have to do a local retrace with these packages installed though16:43
superm1i'm not sure yet16:43
mrandHmmm... if I remove those attachements and get the others on there fast enough, I should be higher up in the apport queue, right?16:44
mranderr... retracer16:44
superm1no idea16:44
mrandI think I'll leave it for now and see if I can sneak in.  A month ago, it took forever to get a retrace.16:45
mrandsuperm1: a retrace is still necessary, right?  The default stack trace still didn't have anything (Bug #487413)16:45
superm1bug 48741316:46
mrandwell, anything useful.16:46
mrandyeah16:46
superm1Zinn, where you at man16:46
mrandhahah16:46
superm1(i was hoping for a URL)16:46
mrandhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48741316:46
superm1oh weird i dont have permissions there16:46
mrandthat's funny.16:47
mrandIn a very non-funny way.16:47
superm1ironic maybe16:47
mrandyeah, that too.16:47
mrandYou know security is minimal though, right?  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36002021/Stacktrace.txt16:49
superm1i dont think the retracer will be able to help with that since it wont know how to install the -dbg package16:53
superm1which makes me think that people will need to do local retraces16:53
superm1at least when using the ppa16:53
mrandsuperm1: ug.  Steps still the same as what we talked about before though?  I must say I find it a bit amazing (in an absurd sort of way) that the stack trace is 43 deep.16:54
superm1with the exception that we now have -dbg packages rather than ddebs16:54
superm1so i think it should actually be a little easier16:54
superm1will just need some experimentation to figure out for sure16:55
williammandaI installed the repo yesterday but my release 0.22.0+fixes22594 is still the same....17:19
williammandaI selected ver .22, US and didn't select PPA...did I make a mistake during the install?17:20
williammandaI was looking for an up to date .22 ver not testing17:21
mrandDid you do a "check for new release" or apt-get update to fetch listings from the repo?  I suppose it is possible that the US mirror is not updating... I know at one point they had trouble withthat.17:27
mranderrr.. not check for new release, but "check for new"17:27
mrandor whatever update manager and/or synaptic calls it.17:28
williammandano I didn't do this in synaptic of apt-get17:28
williammandaI used a link off of the mytbuntu site17:29
williammandaor = of17:29
mrandOk, I just checked... in update-manager it is "check".     could you try something for me?  Either click that button, or do an sudo apt-get update17:30
mrandThen see if it wants to update your myth packages.17:30
mrandOr you can check in synaptic.17:30
williammandaok..using synaptic...it looks like several myth files need to be updated17:31
mrandexamples?17:31
williammandalib files, back & front ends, themes, etc...17:32
mrandcool.17:32
williammandaso that was the problem?17:33
mrandYeah - I think I noticed the same thing last night, actually.17:33
williammandak ty17:34
mrandno problem!17:34
linxehis there a way to import DVDs into mythtv from the command line ?17:59
tgm4883linxeh, you mean rip them?18:00
errr-orhi, how to set nautilus as standard file manager? i need to open my pda with synce, but i need to open it with nautilus.18:00
linxehtgm4883: I want to make a de-css'd copy of my dvd collection onto a hard drive, as ISOs or something18:01
tgm4883ah18:01
tgm4883yea I don't know then18:02
linxehthen have those available through mythtv18:02
tgm4883i'm sure there are some rippers via command line though18:02
linxehI'm not bothered about transcoding etc, but Id like to do it in bulk18:02
linxehatm I'm using vobcopy, but it seems to hang on several of my dvds18:02
errr-orsecond question. i have installed lirc and created a lircrc file. if i manually start lirc i see the input of my device, but it doesnt work in mythbuntu. here is my mythtv configuration --> http://pastebin.ca/1685715 .18:06
errr-orlinxeh: i use dvddecrypter with wine. works fine18:06
linxehyuck :)18:09
linxehmight be the easiest though I suppose18:09
errr-orlinxeh: if you try it you have to change i/o driver to winaspi. default is elby. so it doesnt find your drive18:10
errr-orsorry for my poor english ;)18:10
linxehok cool18:36
williammandaOn the slave backend does one need to setup storage groups for the artwork so that it can be used for videos if the video storage group is not setup? ie coverart, fanart and banners18:42
superm1you only need one set of storage groups for those18:43
superm1so if you have a master backend setup already with them that's all you need18:43
williammandaok...that must be my problem18:43
williammandaone more question....do I need the storage groups for recordings & livetv on the slave BE?18:45
superm1well do you have local media on that backend to store it on?18:53
williammandayes18:53
superm1then make a storage group for it18:53
williammandaok ty18:53
