[00:00] <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?
[00:02] <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?
[00:04] <rhpot1991> not I
[00:05] <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
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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.
[03:45] <javatexan> hey guys I have a video card question
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <javatexan> is this still true?  http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=756491
[03:50] <javatexan> something tells me that mythtv will be very mad at me... :)
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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?
[03:54] <javatexan> very true...I have a way of making my machine very mad
[03:58] <rhpot1991> I'd upgrade the card and dpkg-reconfigure nvidiawhatever
[03:59] <javatexan> k
[05:04] <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
[05:06] <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?
[05:07] <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
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <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
[05:18] <MythbuntuGuest07> cool thanks a lot guys
[07:50] <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?
[07:51] <bllz> or anything of the sort?
[08:51] <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?
[13:13] <BjornR1989> MistStlkr: Is the drive formatted with an ext* file system?
[13:13] <BjornR1989> FAT doesn't support such permissions.
[15:32] <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
[15:41] <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
[19:46] <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
[19:49] <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.
[19:50] <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
[19:52] <bllz> mrand:  thanks!  is there any place I can download 3rd party themes?
[19:55] <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.
[22:23] <conectate> any body outthere?
[22:23] <conectate> I have my mythbuntu setup with info displaying on the LCD of my Antec Case
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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?
[22:29] <rhpot1991> conectate: not sure you can do that, once you shut down lcdproc is no longer running
[22:32] <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
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <conectate> the OnExit=1 is :
[22:35] <conectate> show the big clock
[22:36] <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
[22:38] <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
