bllzanybody?03:18
bllzanybody here?  I need help configuring an IR blaster... is there an easy way to capture ir signals from a working remote and replicate them in the blaster?  Running irsend SEND_ONCE DCT2000 1 seems to work (the light turns on in the blaster and I can see an IR light source through a digital camera)04:38
beatbreakerhi i'm having major problems connecting to my backend, i can do a command "mysql -h <ip> -u mythtv mythconverg -p" command and connect like that but i can't connect and watch myth tv06:44
beatbreakerthe back end works fine, but connecting to it from the frontend has been a nightmare06:45
beatbreakhi. i'm having problems getting the GUI up in mythtv frontend, everything seems fine when launching from the terminal then it doesn't go into mythtv07:30
beatbreakhttp://pastebin.com/m624dc35607:30

MythbuntuGuest01hi there, is it possible to install mythbuntu 9.10 with lvm?? I didn't see it in the installation wizard. Thank you15:18
mrandMythbuntuGuest01: To get access to lvm, I believe you'd need to use the vanilla Ubuntu alternate install disk, then add Myth on top of that.15:22
MythbuntuGuest01mrand, thanks for your anwer. So, in your opinion, I should install ubuntu server (for example) and then perform a "apt-get install mythbuntu" ... I'm trying to create a backend server. But I thought that starting with mythbuntu may help me to get Hauppauge WinTV Ministick HD USB working.15:26
mrandI had actually the alternate CD in mind simply because I know for sure that it has support for LVM.  The server CD does too.15:32
mrandBTW, mythtv-setup  does require a window manager, so you won't be able to run text only.   I personally like doing "apt-get install mythbuntu-control-centre" and then working from there.15:32
MythbuntuGuest01 Thanks, I'd like to use an alternate CD, but I cannot see an alternate download for Mythbuntu 9.10, just desktop edtion for 32 & 64 bits.15:35
mrandThat's what I meant... you'd have to use the vanilla Ubuntu alternate disk, then apt-get or synaptic afterward.15:36
mrandBTW, LVM isn't needed so much any more for Myth installs.  Storage groups allow for users to add storage to Myth without needing LVM.  but if you have other reasons for it, then by all means..15:37
MythbuntuGuest01I'd like to build a personal LAB (with vmware-server), so, storage management it's going to be very useful (3TB)15:38
MythbuntuGuest01all in the same machine15:39
mrandcool.15:39
MythbuntuGuest01All right, I'll proceed the way you suggest. Thank you very much mrand!!15:39
mrandYou're welcome.   I hope it works smoothly for you.  I didn't look up your tuner - does google turn up positive info for its support on Myth installs?15:40
MythbuntuGuest01I dmesg"ed" in mythbuntu 9.10 live and it showed interesting info, but i didn't check if everything is right15:43
MythbuntuGuest01there is some work in progress, as i can see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/29964015:44
mrandIt was released into the kernel.  Cool.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!15:45
MythbuntuGuest01Thanks!! and see you around15:46
bllzis there any documentation for mythtv with the motorola DTA 100 from comcast?18:17

MythbuntuGuest98YEAH !18:57
MythbuntuGuest98:)18:57
MythbuntuGuest98i have read from mythtv wiki this:18:57
MythbuntuGuest98If you wish to try an nvidia video board instead of your other video/graphic chipset, be careful. Make a mythconverg database backup, and note the SVN of your present working version. In addition, it would be wise to extract the NVidia pkg.run file (NVIDIA-LINUX....pkg.run -x) and make backups of the original files for which copies exist in the ../include/GL, ../lib and ../X11R6 folders. The package help states that the 18:57
MythbuntuGuest98is this my problem?18:58
BjornR1989Did you experience any issues at all before the update? If not, that's probably what causes the problem.18:58

rhpot1991!iso | MythbuntuGuest4420:51
ZinnMythbuntuGuest44: 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/720:51
