[02:50] <ahughes> hey guys, just trying to install xchat.... but it's not in the list of packages. At first I thought this was because I was using 'quick search' but a full search fails to find it. Also, if I try 'apt-get install xchat' it seens like apt doesnt have access to a repo with xchat in it... with error "E: Coundn't find package xchat". What might be the problem?
[02:50] <ahughes> bwt: searching in synaptic
[02:53] <ahughes> w00t I reloaded the repo packages and it found it :)
[14:50] <Essobi> WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[15:04] <Dunkirk> Is anyone familiar with how the vnc service works on mythbuntu?
[15:04] <Dunkirk> I thought it was working, and now it's not.
[15:05] <Dunkirk> (As in, the one that you can enable from the mythbuntu-control-centre.)
[16:18] <Shadow__X> hello everyone i am on mythbuntu 9.10 and mythtv .22 mythtv-status works fine but it is not being displayed on the motd when i log into the machine through ssh
[16:55] <CShadowRun> Hi, I'm trying to setup FreeSat on my new MythTV box, I've sucessfully scanned for channels, but all the numbers are scrambled, and i have no guide information from EIT :(
[16:56] <CShadowRun> using a fresh install of mythbuntu
[17:28] <jsheezy> does anyone have an answer to why my coverart keeps disappearing yet my fan art does not in mythvideo?
[17:52] <henkpoley> jsheezy: Got anything running periodically that "fixes" coverart that might overwrite the images?
[17:53] <jsheezy> not that i know of... I updated the repositories to fix the movies from not running renaming themselves
[17:53] <henkpoley> jsheezy: specificaly http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jamu might do that (?)
[17:53] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Jamu - MythTV
[17:54] <jsheezy> i don't think i am running that script. the coverart is still there... i just have to select it again.
[17:54] <henkpoley> So you mean, somehow it doesn't get stored in the database  ?
[17:55] <henkpoley> Or does is stick 2-3 reboots and then disappears?
[17:55] <jsheezy> no reboots... out of 24 videos maybe 3 will stick.. the others disappear after a day or two
[17:58] <henkpoley> You run mythtv-0.22 from ubuntu repositories or nightlies/build yourself ?
[17:59] <henkpoley> Tried checking the database? I mean executing a 'repair', mythtv has some scripts to do that: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Periodic_Maintenance#Optimize_the_Database
[17:59] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] User Manual:Periodic Maintenance - MythTV
[18:00] <henkpoley> The script is probably located elsewhere on your system, try `locate optimize_mythdb.pl`
[18:00] <jsheezy> i set up the repositories from mythbuntu control center.
[18:01] <jsheezy> i have activate Mythbuntu Auto Builds Repo checked.
[18:01] <henkpoley> Yeah, but I believe you can set them up from there to grab the experimental/unstable/nigtlies version too
[18:01] <henkpoley> ah.. yes that's the one
[18:01] <henkpoley> When you breaks you can have the pieces ;-)
[18:01] <jsheezy> i don't have the testing one checked
[18:02] <henkpoley> Try lurking here (or elsewhere) if one of the developers comes by
[18:03] <jsheezy> are you saying it's broke? it is frustrating because when i choose the correct art it show the path, when it disappears it shows just the image name
[18:03] <henkpoley> Anyways, you should at least check if there is anything broken with your database, or that something is mentioned in the frontend/backend logs
[18:04] <henkpoley> jsheezy: I don't know if it is broken, it is just that you have installed the version that they are still working on
[18:04] <henkpoley> So things break and get fixed and break again because it's not finished
[18:04] <henkpoley> You might be more successful asking on the mythbuntu forums or the mythtv-users mailinglist
[18:04] <jsheezy> that is the version we were told to put in because of previous bugs... oh well i will continue to lurk here. thanks man!
[18:05] <henkpoley> on the mailinglist they will probably tell you if you run the development version you should be a developer
[18:05] <henkpoley> ..or at least that you should follow mythtv-dev
[18:06] <henkpoley> I'll be away now
[18:06] <jsheezy> thank you henkpoley
[18:11] <tgm4883> henkpoley, auto-builds is daily builds of -fixes or trunk. If he is on 0.22, it's fixes
[18:11] <tgm4883> which is not only for developers
[18:12] <tgm4883> I would guess a problem with Jamu
[18:16] <CShadowRun> Hi, I'm trying to setup FreeSat on my new MythTV box, I've sucessfully scanned for channels, but all the numbers are scrambled, and i have no guide information from EIT :(
[18:19] <jsheezy> tgm4883: how do i check the Jamu thing?
[18:28] <jsheezy> is there a way to stop Jamu or remove it. it seems to be causing my problem.
[18:37] <tgm4883> jsheezy, I think it's just a cron job in /etc/cron.hourly/ and /etc/cron.daily/
[18:44] <CShadowRun> yay, i broke it
[18:45] <CShadowRun> tried to use Radio times for schedule information, and now it's stuck running mythfilldatabase
[18:45] <CShadowRun> what should i do?
[19:12] <jsheezy> tgm4883, thanks... I will see how that works.
[19:52] <Dunkirk> Anyone here know what turning on the "vnc service" in Mythbuntu actually does behind the scenes (from mythbuntu_control_centre)?
[19:53] <Dunkirk> Also, on the -fixes, if you take the nightlies repo out of apt, will the system automatically downgrade the myth packages on an apt-get upgrade?
[19:54] <tgm4883> Dunkirk, no it will not downgrade
[19:55] <tgm4883> well, it won't autodowngrade
[19:55] <tgm4883> you could force a package version in synaptic
[19:55] <Dunkirk> tgm4883, The "pinning" business?
[19:56] <tgm4883> could be
[19:56] <tgm4883> i haven't done it in awhile
[19:56] <Dunkirk> Hrm. I've seen mythfilldatabase segfaults in my logs, and I want to just revert to the "stable" stuff.
[19:57] <tgm4883> you don't think the auto-builds are stable?
[19:57] <superm1> Dunkirk, you can look at the source ya know :)
[19:57] <superm1> Dunkirk, but it's basically installing x11vnc and saving the password you put in MCC in ~/.vncpasswd
[19:57] <Dunkirk> Sure, I can write my own operating system, too.
[19:57] <tgm4883> it should just be from the -fixes branch, which isn't the same as trunk
[19:58] <Dunkirk> superm1, That's what I've taken from the process, and then inferred that if the login / xfce session stuff senses a ~/.vnc/passwd, it starts x11vnc, but it's not working any more.
[19:59] <superm1> Dunkirk, yeah /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh checks for the vncpasswd file
[19:59] <Dunkirk> I'm coming from Gentoo, so getting used to having stuff done for me is... unsettling. If it breaks, I don't know what it's doing behind the scenes.
[19:59] <Dunkirk> superm1, Bingo. Thanks for that.
[19:59] <superm1> Dunkirk, http://mythbuntu.org/cheatsheet
[19:59] <Zinn> [mythbuntu.org] Developer Cheatsheet | Mythbuntu
[19:59] <Dunkirk> Woah. Cool.
[19:59] <superm1> explains a lot of what's going on behind the scenes if you want to see
[20:00] <Dunkirk> superm1, THANKS!
[20:17] <superm1> np Dunkirk, have fun.
