[01:09] <Gumby> hi all.  can anyone tell me how I can disable the popup notifications in mythbuntu? I dont want there to be anything popping up telling me about network info, availalable updates, restricted drivers etc
[01:10] <mrguitar> I've got a bad HDHR issue. Can anyone help?
[01:10] <mrguitar> My log is getting filled 24/7 w/ this: 2010-01-03 19:10:27.673 HDHRSH(101170CE-1): RunTS(): data_length = 6580 remainder = 188

[01:59] <mazzomaz> hi there
[02:00] <mazzomaz> anybody here who can help me figure out a problem with my remote-controller / lirc
[02:01] <mazzomaz> my rc is working fine, but only when i start lirc with "lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event6"
[02:02] <mazzomaz> how i can configure lirc to start automaticaly with those parameters at every reboot ?
[02:08] <mazda01> how do i configure Gnome CD Master to see my DVD writers so I can copy an audio cd?
[02:13] <DGMurdockIII> hi
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <DGMurdockIII> from the card using hdmi
[02:27] <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
[02:29] <rhpot1991> mazda01: check out k3b
[02:30] <mazda01> rhpot1991, don't want all those KDE libs, thanks though. That's not a solution to my question. I'll keep googling
[02:32] <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
[03:06] <mazda01> ok, brasero always errors out on me. why can't gnome just include a burning program that works.
[03:08] <mazda01> wheather trying a dvd movie or copying an audio cd. it fails
[04:33] <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
[04:44] <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.
[05:00] <ddempsey3> I have creation/deletion of the diskless image working. But because of the bug, when the mcc launches from the chroot, nothing happens.
[05:10] <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?
[05:11] <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?
[05:27] <superm1> ddempsey3, ooh that's fun
[05:28] <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
[05:29] <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
[05:30] <MistStlkr> if I may interrupt, how exactly does a diskless front end work ?  or, rather, how SHOULD it work if it were working?
[05:31] <ddempsey3> The real issue is trying to upgrade packages while in the chroot.  dbus does not work properly in the chroot env
[05:32] <ddempsey3> it communicates to the dbus out side the chroot.
[05:33] <ddempsey3> I can push what I have, but need help with that.  I have never done a merge request.
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <ddempsey3> superm1, sounds easy enough.  Is it reviewed after the commit?
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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....
[05:42] <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 :)
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <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??
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <MistStlkr> without that, what would be the min hard drive for the frontend?
[05:48] <MistStlkr> the "wait an hour" thing is a one-time wait, right?  not per-client, surely?
[05:53] <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
[05:54] <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
[05:56] <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
[06:05] <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
[06:07] <superm1> np, yup, have fun
[06:08] <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...
[06:16] <superm1> MistStlkr, sure bind it using irxevent
[06:17] <superm1> to a gnome-screensaver-command invokation
[07:49] <bobobob> what was that lirc program you run to see what codes are being sent by remote....codes were just echoed
[07:54] <bobobob> irw..thanks
[08:11] <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?
[20:07] <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?
[20:09] <superm1> mrguitar, you can try turning down the resolution before you launch it
[20:10] <superm1> mrguitar, but unfortunately flash doesn't use hardware acceleration, so there's not much else you can do
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <mrguitar> this could cripple my plans to launch boxee from the myth menu
[20:15] <iamlindoro> did you go from 32 to 64 bit?
[20:16] <iamlindoro> flash plugin on 64 bit is alpha-status (and quality)
[20:17]  * 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
[20:18] <iamlindoro> Says the guy writing the new plugin heavily dependent on flash
[20:18] <mrguitar> 64 > 32 HA!
[20:20] <mrguitar> I wrote a lame script to launch hulu desktop @ 1024x768 w/ xrandr but performance did not improve. :(
[20:26] <tgm4883> mrguitar, which nvidia driver?
[20:29] <mrguitar> 185 I think
[20:29] <rhpot1991> flash sucks, the end :)
[20:30] <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
[20:38] <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
[20:39] <mrguitar> did anyone else notice a depreciation moving from jaunty? (this might also be the new card or newer nvidia driver)
[20:46] <mrguitar> I guess I'll try the 10.1 beta 2 version of flash tonight - but I'm not optimistic.
[20:47] <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
[20:54] <mrguitar> got to run - thanks for the thoughts everyone. I'll try somethings when I get home and report back tomorrow. cheers.
[20:55] <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)
[21:53] <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...
