[00:00] or deal with the noisyness and see how much it bothers you [00:00] rhpot1991: yeah that sounds reasonable [00:00] certain words he will yell at you for saying, we are supposed to keep this room family friendly [00:00] 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? [00:02] 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] rhpot1991: okay, that can be my next project once I get myth up and running the way i want [00:02] on an unrelated note, has anybody here ever used boxee? [00:04] not I [00:05] every time I go to I get annoyed that they don't have an amd64 build [00:05] 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] oh, that's a turn-off... the no amd64 [00:05] it seemed interesting [00:05] but i remain unconvinced about the social networking angle [00:08] they make you sign up before you can download and all too [00:08] yeah that's true [00:08] maybe i'll try out xbmc too [00:09] 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 [00:10] but this is all horribly O/T [00:10] i'll probably be back later with on topic questions [00:10] thanks for the help! [00:10] np. Have fun. [03:45] hey guys I have a video card question [03:46] !ask [03:46] 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. [03:47] 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] LOL [03:48] is this still true? http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=756491 [03:50] something tells me that mythtv will be very mad at me... :) [03:52] javatexan: you should be able to change pretty easily, sticking with the same type? [03:52] both nvidia, yes.....new one has HDMI out [03:53] old one, DVI [03:53] javatexan: if you have both, just save off your config and then there is no harm trying the new one, righ? [03:54] very true...I have a way of making my machine very mad [03:58] I'd upgrade the card and dpkg-reconfigure nvidiawhatever [03:59] k [05:04] 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 [05:06] MythbuntuGuest07, there is a guide about storage groups on the mythtv wiki [05:06] !mythvideo [05:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythVideo [05:06] maybe [05:06] no [05:06] !iso% [05:06] 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] no, hm [05:06] rhpot1991, what was the help thing to get it? [05:07] !help | superm1 [05:07] 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] hm looks like we dont have it linked [05:07] we should [05:07] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_.22_Transition_Guide [05:12] 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] storage groups are configured by default [05:12] they're a nicety for anything but ISOs [05:13] they mean no NFS or samba needed to share videos, metadata, artwork etc across PCs on the network [05:13] if you need ISOs follow that workaround Zinn mentioned at baablogic.net [05:18] cool thanks a lot guys [07:50] 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] is there a package with standard aspect ratio themes i can install? [07:51] or anything of the sort? [08:51] 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? [13:13] MistStlkr: Is the drive formatted with an ext* file system? [13:13] FAT doesn't support such permissions. [15:32] 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 [15:41] 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 [19:46] 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] !themes [19:46] Sorry I don't know about themes [19:46] !mythbuntu [19:46] Sorry I don't know about mythbuntu [19:49] 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. [19:50] There aren't a huge number right now. More are in the works and will be released with 0.23 for Mythbuntu 10.04 [19:52] mrand: thanks! is there any place I can download 3rd party themes? [19:55] 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. [22:23] any body outthere? [22:23] I have my mythbuntu setup with info displaying on the LCD of my Antec Case [22:24] the problem is that when I shut down the computer I want it to display the Big clock or somtehing [22:24] however nothing is displayed after shutdown and LCD is blank [22:25] I have modified the /etc/LCDd.conf file to OnExit=1 to show the big clock [22:25] but not working after shutting donw and rebooting many times [22:25] any idea? === Knet81 is now known as CyberKnet [22:29] conectate: not sure you can do that, once you shut down lcdproc is no longer running [22:32] 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] and I want the option of big clock [22:32] other wise the screen is blank [22:34] well that runs when it is shut down, but there will be nothing left running to update the clock [22:34] it normally says "thank you for using lcdproc" or something like that [22:34] for a few seconds but then it cuts off [22:34] I had it working but after configuring Mythtv it dissapeared [22:35] the OnExit=1 is : [22:35] show the big clock [22:36] and it appears the time of the computer PM 11:00 for instance [22:36] instead of having it blank [22:36] which is quite annoying [22:38] actually if I remove mythlcdserver [22:38] restart LCDd [22:38] and set the command perl -..... with the hexadecimal... when I shuts down the value is ther
