| rhpot1991 | or deal with the noisyness and see how much it bothers you | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bllz | rhpot1991: yeah that sounds reasonable | 00:00 |
| rhpot1991 | certain words he will yell at you for saying, we are supposed to keep this room family friendly | 00:00 |
| bllz | rhpot1991: one last question though, if I were to set up the laptop/externalHDD as an smb share, I could presumably set the master backend to dump recordings there if the local drive gets full, right? | 00:00 |
| rhpot1991 | bllz: you would need to mount it on the master backend and set it up in the storage groups, then it would use it as if it was another hard drive | 00:02 |
| bllz | rhpot1991: okay, that can be my next project once I get myth up and running the way i want | 00:02 |
| bllz | on an unrelated note, has anybody here ever used boxee? | 00:02 |
| rhpot1991 | not I | 00:04 |
| rhpot1991 | every time I go to I get annoyed that they don't have an amd64 build | 00:05 |
| mrand | hmmm... maybe not? You could search the forums for the mythtv-users mailing list. There are 384 hits on the mythtv-users list | 00:05 |
| bllz | oh, that's a turn-off... the no amd64 | 00:05 |
| bllz | it seemed interesting | 00:05 |
| bllz | but i remain unconvinced about the social networking angle | 00:05 |
| rhpot1991 | they make you sign up before you can download and all too | 00:08 |
| bllz | yeah that's true | 00:08 |
| bllz | maybe i'll try out xbmc too | 00:08 |
| bllz | i'm vaguely thinking the PVR stuff may be too much of a hassle considering I have bittorrent and RSS for any shows i want to watch post-airdate | 00:09 |
| bllz | but this is all horribly O/T | 00:10 |
| bllz | i'll probably be back later with on topic questions | 00:10 |
| bllz | thanks for the help! | 00:10 |
| mrand | np. Have fun. | 00:10 |
| javatexan | hey guys I have a video card question | 03:45 |
| darthanubis | !ask | 03:46 |
| Zinn | Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. | 03:46 |
| javatexan | I have a newer one now, but I just realized that everytime I've done this, I have also reinstalled the system...Can I change the video card without reinstalling? LOL! Won't this totally screw up all the X stuff, etc...? | 03:47 |
| * javatexan blushes | 03:47 | |
| javatexan | LOL | 03:47 |
| javatexan | is this still true? http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=756491 | 03:48 |
| javatexan | something tells me that mythtv will be very mad at me... :) | 03:50 |
| rhpot1991 | javatexan: you should be able to change pretty easily, sticking with the same type? | 03:52 |
| javatexan | both nvidia, yes.....new one has HDMI out | 03:52 |
| javatexan | old one, DVI | 03:53 |
| mrand | javatexan: if you have both, just save off your config and then there is no harm trying the new one, righ? | 03:53 |
| javatexan | very true...I have a way of making my machine very mad | 03:54 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd upgrade the card and dpkg-reconfigure nvidiawhatever | 03:58 |
| javatexan | k | 03:59 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | good evening all... can anyone tell me how to store movies on my mythbuntu 9.10? it seems that now in watch videos i have a storage groups folder then i can get into my videos | 05:04 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest07, there is a guide about storage groups on the mythtv wiki | 05:06 |
| superm1 | !mythvideo | 05:06 |
| Zinn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythVideo | 05:06 |
| superm1 | maybe | 05:06 |
| superm1 | no | 05:06 |
| superm1 | !iso% | 05:06 |
| Zinn | Storage Groups are a streaming method of transmitting material to a frontend, meaning they don't provide block-level access to the file in question. An ISO is a disk image, and requires block-level access. Upstream has a plan to simulate a block device across the network using NBD for 0.23. Until then you can use the following workaround: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/7 | 05:06 |
| superm1 | no, hm | 05:06 |
| superm1 | rhpot1991, what was the help thing to get it? | 05:06 |
| tgm4883 | !help | superm1 | 05:07 |
| Zinn | superm1: For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 05:07 |
| superm1 | hm looks like we dont have it linked | 05:07 |
| superm1 | we should | 05:07 |
| superm1 | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_.22_Transition_Guide | 05:07 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | do i need storage groups? the previous version i was using i just dumped my iso or avi into the videos folder in samba share and i would not have the storage groups folder | 05:12 |
| superm1 | storage groups are configured by default | 05:12 |
| superm1 | they're a nicety for anything but ISOs | 05:12 |
| superm1 | they mean no NFS or samba needed to share videos, metadata, artwork etc across PCs on the network | 05:13 |
| superm1 | if you need ISOs follow that workaround Zinn mentioned at baablogic.net | 05:13 |
| MythbuntuGuest07 | cool thanks a lot guys | 05:18 |
| bllz | hi, i have a bit of a problem. I have a normal sdtv, not a widescreen, but all the mythbuntu themes seem to be for widescreens | 07:50 |
| bllz | is there a package with standard aspect ratio themes i can install? | 07:50 |
| bllz | or anything of the sort? | 07:51 |
| MistStlkr | when I copy files over from a USB drive they do not have an owner/permissions set. is there a way to adjust that functionality? | 08:51 |
| BjornR1989 | MistStlkr: Is the drive formatted with an ext* file system? | 13:13 |
| BjornR1989 | FAT doesn't support such permissions. | 13:13 |
| mahmood_ | helo , iam new user of ubuntu 9.10 . i have twinhan1027 sattalite card and i cant use it in ubuntu but on windows is very easy but i want ubuntu please help me | 15:32 |
| mrand | mahmood_: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1258792 was what people were having to do as of 9.04. I don't know if support has been added to the kernel for 9.10 or 10.04 | 15:41 |
| bllz | Hello, is there any sort of package with additional mythtv themes I can install on mythbuntu? I have a standard aspect ratio tv but all the themes seem to be for widescreens | 19:46 |
| bllz | !themes | 19:46 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about themes | 19:46 |
| bllz | !mythbuntu | 19:46 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about mythbuntu | 19:46 |
| mrand | There are other themes (see Mythbuntu control centre... it will add them for you), but I believe they are all 16:9. "mythcenter" is the only 4:3 theme. | 19:49 |
| mrand | There aren't a huge number right now. More are in the works and will be released with 0.23 for Mythbuntu 10.04 | 19:50 |
| bllz | mrand: thanks! is there any place I can download 3rd party themes? | 19:52 |
| mrand | bllz: Keep an eye on the mythtv themes wiki page: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Category:Themes If it is close to working, it should be listed there. | 19:55 |
| conectate | any body outthere? | 22:23 |
| conectate | I have my mythbuntu setup with info displaying on the LCD of my Antec Case | 22:23 |
| conectate | the problem is that when I shut down the computer I want it to display the Big clock or somtehing | 22:24 |
| conectate | however nothing is displayed after shutdown and LCD is blank | 22:24 |
| conectate | I have modified the /etc/LCDd.conf file to OnExit=1 to show the big clock | 22:25 |
| conectate | but not working after shutting donw and rebooting many times | 22:25 |
| conectate | any idea? | 22:25 |
| === Knet81 is now known as CyberKnet | ||
| rhpot1991 | conectate: not sure you can do that, once you shut down lcdproc is no longer running | 22:29 |
| conectate | the issue is that in the configuration file LCDd.conf it says that you can leave a message when the computer is shutdown/halt | 22:32 |
| conectate | and I want the option of big clock | 22:32 |
| conectate | other wise the screen is blank | 22:32 |
| rhpot1991 | well that runs when it is shut down, but there will be nothing left running to update the clock | 22:34 |
| rhpot1991 | it normally says "thank you for using lcdproc" or something like that | 22:34 |
| rhpot1991 | for a few seconds but then it cuts off | 22:34 |
| conectate | I had it working but after configuring Mythtv it dissapeared | 22:34 |
| conectate | the OnExit=1 is : | 22:35 |
| conectate | show the big clock | 22:35 |
| conectate | and it appears the time of the computer PM 11:00 for instance | 22:36 |
| conectate | instead of having it blank | 22:36 |
| conectate | which is quite annoying | 22:36 |
| conectate | actually if I remove mythlcdserver | 22:38 |
| conectate | restart LCDd | 22:38 |
| conectate | and set the command perl -..... with the hexadecimal... when I shuts down the value is ther | 22:38 |
