| mazzomaz | hi there | 01:59 |
| mazzomaz | anybody here who can help me figure out a problem with my remote-controller / lirc | 02:00 |
| mazzomaz | my rc is working fine, but only when i start lirc with "lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event6" | 02:01 |
| mazzomaz | how i can configure lirc to start automaticaly with those parameters at every reboot ? | 02:02 |
| mazda01 | how do i configure Gnome CD Master to see my DVD writers so I can copy an audio cd? | 02:08 |
| DGMurdockIII | hi | 02:13 |
| mazda01 | anyone have a suggestion for copying an audio cd? | 02:14 |
| DGMurdockIII | i dont know how to word this but the way i get sound from my computer is i use a ati all in wonder HD that has a hdmi port on it and i plug hdmi cable in to that then it gose in to the lcd tv dose mythbuntu | 02:14 |
| DGMurdockIII | support getting sound as well as video | 02:14 |
| DGMurdockIII | from the card using hdmi | 02:15 |
| mazda01 | ne1 use gnome cd master? what group do i need to add my user to so that I can see the devices within that program? because I can see the devices if I run it as root. gksudo gcdmaster | 02:27 |
| rhpot1991 | mazda01: check out k3b | 02:29 |
| mazda01 | rhpot1991, don't want all those KDE libs, thanks though. That's not a solution to my question. I'll keep googling | 02:30 |
| rhpot1991 | mazda01: brasero is the default gnome burning app anymore, you can look at that as well | 02:32 |
| mazda01 | rhpot1991, don't use brasero enough. didn't even realize that it had a copy audio cd feature in it. thanks | 02:32 |
| mazda01 | ok, brasero always errors out on me. why can't gnome just include a burning program that works. | 03:06 |
| mazda01 | wheather trying a dvd movie or copying an audio cd. it fails | 03:08 |
| ddempsey3 | I just want to give an update on re-creating the diskless tab for control-centre, incase others are working on it. I ran into a bug filed against dbus that upgrades fail if you are running in a chroot. | 04:33 |
| ddempsey3 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/441100 | 04:33 |
| mrand | ddempsey3: glad to hear you're working on it. I've not heard lately that anyone else is. superm1 can hopefully confirm that he hasn't heard of anyone else either. | 04:44 |
| ddempsey3 | I have creation/deletion of the diskless image working. But because of the bug, when the mcc launches from the chroot, nothing happens. | 05:00 |
| Monona | What should I set the address to for my primary backend? I will have an Ubuntu laptop & desktop and a Macbook on the network. Can I dual boot from a regular Ubuntu desktop into Mythbuntu? | 05:10 |
| Monona | Sorry, I mean IP address. There's a Local Backend and Master Backend. Right now, they're both set at 127.0.0.1. Does it matter what I change them to? | 05:11 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, ooh that's fun | 05:27 |
| Gumby | hi all, I am trying to figure out what I have very loud noises (I cant quite describe the noises) when using hdmi passthrough via spdif. It only seems to happen when X is running and the audio isnt being used. | 05:28 |
| superm1 | i've seen similar behaviors with chroots under a different context | 05:28 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, could you push what you've got so far into a merge request? we can at least merge portions of it in to get more eyes on it hopefully | 05:29 |
| superm1 | but i'm curious what particular packages are failing to upgrade? | 05:29 |
| superm1 | most diskless chroots will be frontends, so hopefully wont need many services running | 05:29 |
| MistStlkr | if I may interrupt, how exactly does a diskless front end work ? or, rather, how SHOULD it work if it were working? | 05:30 |
| ddempsey3 | The real issue is trying to upgrade packages while in the chroot. dbus does not work properly in the chroot env | 05:31 |
| ddempsey3 | it communicates to the dbus out side the chroot. | 05:32 |
| ddempsey3 | I can push what I have, but need help with that. I have never done a merge request. | 05:33 |
| superm1 | sure no problems | 05:37 |
| superm1 | so i'm assuming you are working off a bzr checkout right now right? | 05:37 |
| superm1 | if not, then grab the branch mythbuntu-common as detailed in http://mythbuntu.org/cheatsheet | 05:37 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, it would boot up via a combination of TFTP/NFS | 05:37 |
| ddempsey3 | Yes I am working off of bzr checkout | 05:38 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, log you into gdm, and start mythfrontend | 05:38 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, okay then make sure that your username is set right (eg bzr whoami, also detailed on the cheatsheet) | 05:38 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, and then "bzr add FILE" for any files that weren't part of the tree | 05:38 |
| superm1 | and type bzr commit | 05:38 |
| ddempsey3 | superm1, sounds easy enough. Is it reviewed after the commit? | 05:39 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, well that just commits it locally | 05:40 |
| superm1 | ddempsey3, once you get that far, i'll walk you along the push and merge request | 05:40 |
| superm1 | and anything that i walk you through that's missing on the cheatsheet i'll add there | 05:40 |
| superm1 | the idea is supposed to be to have the whole process documented so someone can read that thing and go | 05:41 |
| MistStlkr | superm1, ah.. interesting idea! I'll read up on that. might make for a cool "network appliance" for the bedroom... I was thinking of finding an older laptop and hang it on the wall behind a flatscreen monitor to watch in bed.... | 05:41 |
| ddempsey3 | superm1, thanks again. I will try later this week after reading the cheatsheet. | 05:42 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, well currently (last 2 releases or so), it's quite difficult to set up | 05:42 |
| superm1 | the gui has been broke | 05:42 |
| superm1 | which ddempsey3 is trying to help fix :) | 05:42 |
| ddempsey3 | we are close :) | 05:42 |
| Gumby | hi all. I am using mythbuntu 9.10 64bit and am using spdif/hdmi passthrough. when I log into xfce I get horrible noises via the speakers until I play something that uses the sound system. Once I stop playing something, it reverts back to the horrid noises. Has anyone experienced this? | 05:43 |
| MistStlkr | superm1: so I gathered. but it sounds like a great idea. ddempsey: get to work! *cracks the whip* LOL Seriously though, that sounds like a heck of a project! good luck, and enjoy! | 05:43 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, yeah when it was working a few releases ago it was quite awesome | 05:43 |
| superm1 | i had my primary frontend set up with it | 05:43 |
| superm1 | and it allows someone to bring a laptop over to your place, hook up to a cat5 and go with a frontend when they're staying with you, which i think is all sorts of cool | 05:44 |
| MistStlkr | superm1: you would still need some small hard drive though, wouldn't you?? or are you setting the BIOS to boot entirely off a network drive somehow?? | 05:44 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, nope, nothing. you just choose network boot from the BIOS menu | 05:45 |
| superm1 | or if they're PC doesn't support that, you can have a small flash drive that contains the kernel and initrd | 05:45 |
| MistStlkr | sup[erm1: or is it diskless in that the front end is not on the local disk, essentiually equivalent to remoting in to a front end? | 05:45 |
| superm1 | *their | 05:45 |
| MistStlkr | superm1: sweet! | 05:45 |
| superm1 | it's all stored on the server, but the code is executed on the client | 05:45 |
| superm1 | via an NFS root | 05:45 |
| MistStlkr | never played with an NFS root.. that sounds pretty damned cool. | 05:46 |
| superm1 | when it's all working, it should literally be a few clicks on MCC, wait about an hour for the chroot to build, and you're able to network boot other PCs | 05:46 |
| MistStlkr | without that, what would be the min hard drive for the frontend? | 05:47 |
| MistStlkr | the "wait an hour" thing is a one-time wait, right? not per-client, surely? | 05:48 |
| superm1 | one time wait, right | 05:53 |
| superm1 | it's just the time to fetch the packages and build the chroot for the first time | 05:53 |
| superm1 | 2gb otherwise for a frontend only system absolute minimum | 05:54 |
| superm1 | but you're going to run into problems with theme caching possibly and updates | 05:54 |
| MistStlkr | right. I remember a while back I got an ubuntu distro booting off of a USB key... maybe see if I can pick up an 8GB or a 16GB one and work on getting that running again for the front end | 05:56 |
| superm1 | yeah that's definitely doable | 05:56 |
| MistStlkr | wouldn't be "diskless" but it would be awfully close LOL | 05:56 |
| MistStlkr | hm.. wonder if someone makes an adapter that has a USB input and outputs to a laptop hard drive connector... fool the laptop into using a thumb drive as an internal hard drive... thanks for the chat and the view of what is to come! I'm off to look intot hat :-P | 06:05 |
| superm1 | np, yup, have fun | 06:07 |
| MistStlkr | oh, one other thing before I head out. I was thinking of trying to configure lirc to turn on the screensaver when I hit the power button my my remote. have you heard of that being done? can't imagine it being particularly difficult... | 06:08 |
| superm1 | MistStlkr, sure bind it using irxevent | 06:16 |
| superm1 | to a gnome-screensaver-command invokation | 06:17 |
| bobobob | what was that lirc program you run to see what codes are being sent by remote....codes were just echoed | 07:49 |
| bobobob | irw..thanks | 07:54 |
| jac1d | Good evneing all, is anyone here using an IR Blaster with a Motorola VIP 1200 stb or a Uverse or Aliant, Telus or MTS IP set top box? | 08:11 |
| mrguitar | I installed Mythbuntu 9.10 on Saturday as a frontend and I'm loving it. ....accept I'm getting TERRIBLE flash performance. Hulu desktop is almost worthless right now. Has anyone got flash working well? | 20:07 |
| superm1 | mrguitar, you can try turning down the resolution before you launch it | 20:09 |
| superm1 | mrguitar, but unfortunately flash doesn't use hardware acceleration, so there's not much else you can do | 20:10 |
| mrguitar | hmmm. My last OS was Jaunty & Fedora 8 w/ an Nvidia 6200 | 20:14 |
| mrguitar | I upgraded to a 9500 & karmic and NOW it sucks | 20:14 |
| mrguitar | it used to be good enough | 20:14 |
| mrguitar | this could cripple my plans to launch boxee from the myth menu | 20:15 |
| iamlindoro | did you go from 32 to 64 bit? | 20:15 |
| iamlindoro | flash plugin on 64 bit is alpha-status (and quality) | 20:16 |
| * tgm4883 disagrees, 64 > 32 so it must be better | 20:17 | |
| iamlindoro | twice as good, even? | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | of course | 20:17 |
| mrguitar | 32 bit the whole way | 20:17 |
| iamlindoro | Ah well, flash sucks | 20:17 |
| mrguitar | although I'd like to run 64 on this box, I kept 32 because of boxee | 20:17 |
| iamlindoro | Says the guy writing the new plugin heavily dependent on flash | 20:18 |
| mrguitar | 64 > 32 HA! | 20:18 |
| mrguitar | I wrote a lame script to launch hulu desktop @ 1024x768 w/ xrandr but performance did not improve. :( | 20:20 |
| tgm4883 | mrguitar, which nvidia driver? | 20:26 |
| mrguitar | 185 I think | 20:29 |
| rhpot1991 | flash sucks, the end :) | 20:29 |
| mrguitar | I agree, but it should be usable | 20:30 |
| mrguitar | 185.18.36 | 20:30 |
| rhpot1991 | I tried hulu desktop on my amd x2 and it was terrible | 20:30 |
| tgm4883 | i'm still waiting for vdpau flash in linux | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | until then, it's 50/50 | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | not to mention some hulu shows work better than others | 20:38 |
| mrguitar | did anyone else notice a depreciation moving from jaunty? (this might also be the new card or newer nvidia driver) | 20:39 |
| mrguitar | I guess I'll try the 10.1 beta 2 version of flash tonight - but I'm not optimistic. | 20:46 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: I think they claim to be supporting gpu offloading in the next beta, but I read somewhere that they only support "Industry standards" and said that VDPAU wasn't a standard or some garbage like that | 20:47 |
| rhpot1991 | translation: not enough people use that for us to care about | 20:47 |
| mrguitar | got to run - thanks for the thoughts everyone. I'll try somethings when I get home and report back tomorrow. cheers. | 20:54 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, well yea, VDPAU isn't an industry standard, but IIRC, there is a standard that uses that (and AMD's version as well) | 20:55 |
| Molch_ | hi i m using mythtv the first time. i just installed it from the ubuntu 9.10 repos and i m at the channel scanning point now. i m using dvb-s and created a channels.conf with w-scan. when i try to import it i get a error msg : "failed to parse '%1'". i know the vdr confs wont work but the w-scan should... | 21:53 |
