cjtinantI dont know what to do and am unable to locate any information on repairing this....  Would rather NOT do ANOTHER installation!!!  3 days into getting this Frontend/Backend setup...01:43
Bernmeistercjtinant: No idea what's causing your issues, but when I was installing, I made several backup images using CloneZilla.  Made life easy to go back to a known/working state in case something broke, etc.02:25
cjtinantThanks Bernmeister...02:43
cjtinantFrontend just locked again...    Have to do a Hard Shutdown....  any help???02:44
cjtinantAnyone available to assist me with my Frontend spontaneously crashing???03:18

cjtinant:-X03:45
cjtinantANYONE.... Tables are broke and cannot get into MSQL to repair.03:45
cjtinantsudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common03:45
cjtinantPassword is NOT working!!!03:45
tgm4883Shadow__X, I don't think that mythtv_status is in the testing repo03:55
tgm4883do you know what package it is in?03:56
qcjnhi, is there an how to for myth tv, on ubuntu..I have ubuntu 9.10, pvr-150 mce, nvidia GeForce4 MX 4000. 2.5 Ghz and 1 Gb of ram...something really explicite ?04:36
qcjni have GB-PVR on winXP, but it s been a long time since i haen't used it, since i never use XP, anymore, just Ubuntu, and puppy linux04:39
Shadow__Xtgm4883: no i am not sure but it was to get my motd working with mythtv and i had to enable a cetrain repo for it to work again04:41
Shadow__Xor not motd but the login message in ssh i forgot what thatgs called04:41
tgm4883Shadow__X, if you are looking for updated mythtv packages, that is in the auto-builds repo04:43
tgm4883you get that by selecting it when installing mythbuntu-repos04:43
cjtinantqcjn: I couldnt locate the 9.10 manual myself; page-link is is broke....  For help with installation sourec: http//www.huihoo.com/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-8.04-installation.pdf04:43
cjtinanthuihoo.com/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-8.04-installation.pdf04:44
qcjncjtinant, do you mean, installing from source ? cause i never done that ?04:44
qcjnthought i could install it directly from apt-get04:44
cjtinantqcjn: not sure....   I use the iso file found at mythbuntu.com04:45
cjtinantDid find help at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki04:46
qcjniso, is an install of this as a OS, but i 'd like to add it to the ubuntu i have now04:47
qcjnand the link doesn't work04:47
cjtinantSorry, try this;  http://docs.huihoo.com/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-8.04-installation.pdf04:50
mrandqcjn: http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu link seems like it works for me.04:50
mrandBut you could always just add mythbuntu-control-centre with apt-get also.04:50
mrandhttp://www.mythbuntu.org/documentation/mythbuntu_9.04_installation.pdf is slightly more up-to-date, although admittedly still old (and internally not much different than the 8.10 manual, which is probably why it says 8.10 on the title page)04:51
qcjnmrand, i m brand new to this, on linux, cause under win, you just install , one thing04:51
qcjni know about server and client04:52
qcjni already use , mpd, + gmpc.... or ssh and client...etc04:52
mrandqcjn: Ubuntu is mostly like that as well, but Myth is slightly more complex, so it does require a bit of configuring.  Mythbuntu-control-centre helps with that a lot.04:52
qcjnok04:53
mrandI'm off to bed.  Hopefully you don't run into any problems, but if you do, hopefully someone can chime in to help... but it is getting kind of late, so  feel free to search the forums - almost all problems have been encountered before by someone else!04:55
qcjnwhat i d like, is to install something , in the ubuntu, i have now..So myth-buntu, would be the thing ?04:56
Shadow__Xtgm4883: yeah i know i have that selected already i was referring to myth-status doesnt thatg display mythtv related information when you log in through ssh04:57
qcjnmrand, merci ! cjtinant aussi :)05:01
cjtinantqcjn:   http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Initial_Installation05:01
qcjnok05:02
qcjnmerci !05:02
qcjncjtinant, that looks to complex for me, for now :|05:03
cjtinantsorry then,  that would be how to install from source...05:04
qcjnthanks anyway05:04
rhpot1991qcjn: http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu05:15
qcjnrhpot1991, thanks05:15
rhpot1991or sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-control-centre05:15
rhpot1991and then it will be there like that screenshot05:16
rhpot1991start there and you can look at the pdf mrand pasted for reference as to what is what05:16
rhpot1991its older but it should do05:16
rhpot1991not sure where our new one went to...05:16
qcjnmaybe id be better of with apt-get install mythbuntu-control-center ... maybe it s the most recent05:18
qcjnreading right now the pdf05:18
rhpot1991that installs the control-centre which will help you install all the goods05:19
qcjnok05:20
qcjnok, thanks guy's , i ' ll be back..have to go to sleep now...so saved the pdf...i ll read that05:22
cjtinantrhpot1991:  where were you earlier....  I finally got my Frontend configured and working, then a series of crashes which corrupted MYSQL...  After fiddiling with it for a while I decided to reinstall....05:25
cjtinantCan you check to see if I set this up correctly; moving files to another location.....05:26
cjtinanthttp://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d3d15517805:28
cjtinantCreated a txt file with Ultra Edit05:28
rhpot1991cjtinant: looks pretty good, whats the point of it all though?05:37
rhpot1991is /htpc a different drive?05:37
rhpot1991also chmod -R (recursive) will help you with some of those05:38
tritiumGood evening, rhpot1991.  What's the latest on the hdhomerun_config_gui packaging?05:44
rhpot1991tritium: in theory its done05:45
rhpot1991waiting for the new lib* to be reviewed then I'll get the gui through revu05:45
rhpot1991its on the testing PPA now05:45
tritiumFantastic!  Nice work.05:46
tritiumSounds like it'll be on track for inclusion in 10.04, which will be great.05:47
rhpot1991tritium: heh I try, ya it should make it in no problems05:48
rhpot1991and it should be pretty easy to just drop their new code with each release05:48
tritiumAwesome.05:49
cjtinantrhpot1991: the /htpc is my storage drive....05:49
rhpot1991cjtinant: why not mount that to /var/lib/mythtv ?05:50
rhpot1991instead of symlinking (both will work, just wondering if there is a reason)05:50
cjtinantThougth if I have to reinstall Mythtv, the link is broke and I will lose the data....   Im still a noob at this05:51
rhpot1991cjtinant: nah, its just directories with files, and all the important info is in your db as well05:51
rhpot1991cjtinant: another option too is to just leave them where they are and in mythtv-setup point all the directories at your /htpc/blah05:51
rhpot1991thats how I used to do it before I gave in and left it be05:52
cjtinantI dont know ANYTHING about the databackup05:52
rhpot1991db == database05:52
cjtinantSo, Just setup the additional directories in MythBackend option 6?05:52
cjtinantI know the acronym, just dont know anything about it.... Didnt know it existed until I setup 9.10.....  Last build I was on was 8.0405:53
rhpot1991your method should work fine, but the most direct method would be moving everything from /var/lib/mythtv into your /htpc, then deleting /var/lib/mythtv and mounting /htpc in /var/lib/mythtv05:54
rhpot1991if I'm confusing you just ignore me and go ahead :)05:54
rhpot1991there isn't a wrong way here05:54
cjtinantok, will use the file I made as it is easy to do....   Just cut and paste...05:55
cjtinantBack to the - R (recursive)....   sudo chmod 775 -r /htpc/video/trailers05:56
cjtinantIs that right?05:56
rhpot1991cap R05:56
rhpot1991and you can do sudo chmod -R 755 /htpc05:57
rhpot1991and it will hit them all05:57
rhpot1991same thing for chown05:57
rhpot1991instead of having a dozen lines05:57
cjtinantahhh....  Dont need to do /htpc/*05:57
rhpot1991adjust as needed05:58
cjtinantk...  thanks....05:58
cjtinantSo with the settings I changed in file structure, I will NOT need to make changes in Mythtv-setup06:08
rhpot1991well you still need to setup everything in there like your tuners06:10
rhpot1991but you wont need to modify the storage groups, those point at the default locations already06:10
cjtinantrhpot1991: thank you!!!  I struggle getting setting this up and occasionally come across bad information from the net.  Think it would have been best to set the mount point for the drive as /var/lib/mythtv06:12
cjtinantQuestion that has plauged me for some time....   When setting the partitions in a NEW installation, the mount point for the second drive is not shown....  Does that mean anything?06:14
rhpot1991prob that its not mounted anywhere by default06:14
rhpot1991you could make a drive hold /home or /var if you wanted, etc06:15
cjtinantexample  sdb1:  NOTHING is shown...  If I had set the mount point to /var/lib/mythtv from a previous installation, upon reinstallation the path does not show when setting the partitions.06:16
cjtinantI assume it is still there, just the partition software does not check previous mount points?06:17
cjtinantAh, would need to FSTAB after installation to set the mount point....06:18
cjtinantI believe that would be the answer anyways.06:19
mmarreGood morning. I am using the latest Mythbuntu together with a Technisat Skymaster HD2 (DVB-C). Everything is working fine except there is no program list available (EPG). Any hints? It worked well under mythdora.07:04
Essobimmarre: umm... run mythtv-setup07:26
Essobimake sure you have the epg setup right07:26
Essobiand let it populate the database when it's done running07:26
mmarreThx, but i did that already. I Also updated the database manually since I read in a transponder list manually (channels.conf) I set for all channels useonairguide=107:47
mmarreBut still not work.07:47
mmarreI also deleted the confoguration with "delete ALL cards" in mythtv-setup to erase the configuration in the database and reconfigured the card07:49
mmarreNo success.07:49
mmarreIs there a way to check if something coming over the EPG stream?07:50
mmarreMaybe it is a provider topic07:50
cjtinantmmarre:  Not sure if this will be of help:  http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Channel_tuning_broken_with_DVB-C#modified_mythic.pl_solution07:57
