pteagueany idea why pressing the mute button gives me a message saying 'mute on' or 'mute off', but i'm still getting audio ?05:23
mrandpteague: sorry, I don't have any ideas - but most audio problems are a mystery to me.  I'd check the mythbuntu forums... most problems like this are not new.05:28
pteagueyeah, just saw it & hadn't seen it before05:30
foxbuntupteague, its because you are not using the internal mythtv audio controls06:29
pteagueis that were i need to go in & set it to alsa:default ?06:39

superm1someone in here was talking about using aptitude for a safe-upgrade... in ubuntu land you shouldn't be using aptitude much..08:02
superm1you'll run into things like this every so often https://launchpad.net/bugs/49963108:02
TechnophilJamu seems to run every hour and pull down heaps of stuff from the net each time.  Anyone know where this is controlled - and how can I turn it down a bit, to say once a day?09:45
Technophilyep in mythbuntu 9.10 its an hourly cron job for anyone interested, not sure its needed to run hourly as it pulls a heap of stuff each hour.10:43
pgeehey all.  using ubuntu 9.10 on a server (backend) and a laptop (frontend)  used synaptic to install both and i did this today.  why is it i get a version mismatch ?  server is 22982 and frontend is 2259413:52
pgeehence i get an error mythtv database has new tv schema 1247 than expected 1244.13:54
mrandpgee: 22594 is the standard repo release... 22982 is a autobuilds.14:00
pgeemrand  but they don't talk with each other nicely! and they are downloaded from the same package manager.14:01
pgee!14:01
ZinnSorry I don't know about14:01
mrandAre you sure you enabled the 0.22 version of the mirror/ppa when you installed autobuilds?14:02
mrandI have to admit I'm more than a bit surprised that they introduced a schema change (I don't recall it, in fact).  It sounds more like 0.23 (aka trunk right now) got selected.14:03
pgeei used the synaptic package manager.  it says it is version 22594 in the package manager.14:05
mrandRight.  You'll notice that 22982 is NOT listed there... the only way that you got that installed was by enabling autobuilds14:06
mrand!autobuilds14:06
ZinnAuto builds are available for MythTV 0.22 for Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic (0.22 and 0.23-trunk).  See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info.  If you see references to 0.22-trunk, you can ignore the -trunk part :-)14:06
pgeemrand  i can't see where that autobuilds option is i selected.14:12
pgeeusing ubuntu 9.10  if i type apt-get purge mythtv-backend  delete the package from the cache, what do i then do to install the version i want ?14:13
mrandpgee: can you do the following command and paste the url here?14:14
mrandapt-cache policy mythtv-frontend | pastebinit14:14
pgeehttp://pastebin.com/d76dda9c714:15
mrandSorry - for the other machine with the 22982 version.14:16
pgeeworking on it14:17
pgeehttp://pastebin.com/d56782c0f14:19
pgeethis is curious14:19
pgeei never noticed the different svn versions for the front end before.14:22
mrandRight.  And even more important than the svn version is the word "trunk" right before it.14:22
mrandThat apt-cache is really from that machine?  It makes no sense to me.14:23
pgeemrand.  i am not sure what that really means.14:23
pgeeyes.  i typed one in after the other.  took a while because i am not physically using that server at the moment.  had to set up a vnc.14:23
pgeei assume a trunk is a 'higher up' part of the build than a branch ?14:24
mrandthe word trunk means that it is most definitely not running 0.2214:24
mrandyep14:24
mrandtrunk will eventually become 0.23. It's the development trunk.  0.22 was branched off mid-October and the schema almost never changes on a branch (like 0.22)14:25
pgeei have been pissing about with this for a few days.  i probably have stuffed it up somewhere.  i am quite happy to completely wipe mythtv and start again. i have done this a few times by using apt-get purge  but i don't know another way to get rid of the source/packages.14:26
pgeefrankly i don't really care for all the new features at the moment.  i just want something that works.14:27
mrandpgee: understood.  When I'm removing things, I like to use synaptic so that I can easily see what is there or might be left (although search in synaptic is less than perfect, so I typically sort by version) and then I select "complete removal"14:29
pgeemrand  done that a number of times.14:29
mrandpgee: including mythtv-database?14:30
pgeemrand including mysql!14:30
mrandhehehe... well, ubuntu does a decent job of not deleting config data :-)14:31
pgeei found where caches were hidden.  rm them as well.  + deleted the mythtv user + removed the .mythtv folder.14:32
mrandpgee: perhaps you need to drop mythconverg manually.  I thought removing mythtv-database would do it, but perhaps I'm wrong.14:32
pgeedid that using phpmyadmin14:33
pgee+ deleted the mythtv database user14:33
mranduh, ok - so it isn't a database problem... it's the mythfrontend that is the problem.14:34
mrandIt's like the /usr/bin/mythfrontend isn't getting removed when you purge or something.14:36
pgeeok.  i will try once more before bed...  i have  rm -R /etc/mythtv  rm  -r ~/.mythtv  used synaptic to completely remove anything related to mythtv.  dropped the mythconverg database.14:41
mrandIf you type mythtfrontend, does it find anything?14:42
mrandpgee: ^14:42
pgeeyes. it is!14:43
pgeeworking on it now.  used locate mythtv and found loads of stuff left!14:43
mrandpgee: and synaptic shows nothing in the "installed" version column for mythtv-frontend?14:44
pgeeuh huh.  and yet it is there.  not for much longer... !14:44
mrandWhat does apt-cache policy mythtv-frontend show?14:45
pgeeW: Unable to locate package myth-frontend14:48
pgeei think i remember following some dodgy instrunctions to start with that didn't work.  seems they have caused me no end of problems.14:48
mrandapt-cache policy mythtv-frontend14:49
mrand(you forgot the "tv"14:50
pgeehttp://pastebin.com/d6ad0a57914:50
pgeesorry.14:51
mrandcool.  (none) is the right answer.14:52
pgeeok.  i have deleted the mythv account. rm /home/mythtv  and deleted loads of other stuff.  try again.14:53
pgeethanks for your help tonight.14:53
mrandhehehe  it morning here in Texas14:53

mrandpgee - idea: if you enable auto-builds, it may overwrite that since autobuilds is using a newer svn checkout.  The only "but" is that it may not install because of a packaing problem that should be fixed on whatever comes after 2299415:17
mrandI've gotta run for now...15:18
pgeethanksf or your help./15:18
mrandWish we would have fixed it, but I have a minor hope that just installing autobuilds will fix it since the svn checkout is newer.15:20
mrandanother 10 or 12 hours and that new autobuild should be built and ready.15:22
mrandOk, I'm off like a prom dress.15:22
quotaholicHi all, just downloaded Mythbuntu 9.10 and tried it on my new mac mini in live cd form. I was surprized to see a prompt for a login and password. Despite a few google attempts I cant seem to find what the default login and pass are. Can anyone here help?16:36
tgm4883quotaholic, that is odd16:45
tgm4883I'd assume USER: Ubuntu   and no password16:45
quotaholicI tried that and x reset back to the standard gdm facing16:46
tgm4883standard GDM facing?16:46
quotaholicI thought it was odd since only the slack based live distro's usually ask for a password. This took place last night. Let me try again. GDM facing..... By a blanking of the screen and then a reinitialization it seemed like x was resetting and gdm was the next thing I saw. Hense gdm facing. Sorry my terminology is not that of a developer16:48
quotaholic Yeah nothing changed. Upon getting past the Mythbuntu splash screen I get dock style bar at the bottom of the screen and a dialog box with the name "ubuntu" and below this a login button. No other options but to press button. After entering informatiion and pressing enter  a sessions menu appears on the "dock" but goes away as credentials did not take and then back to square one. Just seems like I am not using the right lo16:57
MythbuntuGuest18does anyone know why myth archive keeps failing me and saying "Trying a hard-reset of the device"17:51

bllzIs there a way to automate the use of myth.rebuilddatabse.pl with metadata grabbed by Jamu?  I don't really care if the recordings I'm adding include an accurate record date... that could be replaced by, say, the original airdate.18:52
