[02:50] 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] bwt: searching in synaptic [02:53] w00t I reloaded the repo packages and it found it :) [14:50] WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE [15:04] Is anyone familiar with how the vnc service works on mythbuntu? [15:04] I thought it was working, and now it's not. [15:05] (As in, the one that you can enable from the mythbuntu-control-centre.) [16:18] 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] 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] using a fresh install of mythbuntu [17:28] does anyone have an answer to why my coverart keeps disappearing yet my fan art does not in mythvideo? [17:52] jsheezy: Got anything running periodically that "fixes" coverart that might overwrite the images? [17:53] not that i know of... I updated the repositories to fix the movies from not running renaming themselves [17:53] jsheezy: specificaly http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Jamu might do that (?) [17:53] [www.mythtv.org] Jamu - MythTV [17:54] i don't think i am running that script. the coverart is still there... i just have to select it again. [17:54] So you mean, somehow it doesn't get stored in the database ? [17:55] Or does is stick 2-3 reboots and then disappears? [17:55] no reboots... out of 24 videos maybe 3 will stick.. the others disappear after a day or two [17:58] You run mythtv-0.22 from ubuntu repositories or nightlies/build yourself ? [17:59] 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] [www.mythtv.org] User Manual:Periodic Maintenance - MythTV [18:00] The script is probably located elsewhere on your system, try `locate optimize_mythdb.pl` [18:00] i set up the repositories from mythbuntu control center. [18:01] i have activate Mythbuntu Auto Builds Repo checked. [18:01] Yeah, but I believe you can set them up from there to grab the experimental/unstable/nigtlies version too [18:01] ah.. yes that's the one [18:01] When you breaks you can have the pieces ;-) [18:01] i don't have the testing one checked [18:02] Try lurking here (or elsewhere) if one of the developers comes by [18:03] 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] 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] 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] So things break and get fixed and break again because it's not finished [18:04] You might be more successful asking on the mythbuntu forums or the mythtv-users mailinglist [18:04] 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] on the mailinglist they will probably tell you if you run the development version you should be a developer [18:05] ..or at least that you should follow mythtv-dev [18:06] I'll be away now [18:06] thank you henkpoley [18:11] henkpoley, auto-builds is daily builds of -fixes or trunk. If he is on 0.22, it's fixes [18:11] which is not only for developers [18:12] I would guess a problem with Jamu [18:16] 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] tgm4883: how do i check the Jamu thing? [18:28] is there a way to stop Jamu or remove it. it seems to be causing my problem. [18:37] jsheezy, I think it's just a cron job in /etc/cron.hourly/ and /etc/cron.daily/ [18:44] yay, i broke it [18:45] tried to use Radio times for schedule information, and now it's stuck running mythfilldatabase [18:45] what should i do? [19:12] tgm4883, thanks... I will see how that works. [19:52] Anyone here know what turning on the "vnc service" in Mythbuntu actually does behind the scenes (from mythbuntu_control_centre)? [19:53] 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] Dunkirk, no it will not downgrade [19:55] well, it won't autodowngrade [19:55] you could force a package version in synaptic [19:55] tgm4883, The "pinning" business? [19:56] could be [19:56] i haven't done it in awhile [19:56] Hrm. I've seen mythfilldatabase segfaults in my logs, and I want to just revert to the "stable" stuff. [19:57] you don't think the auto-builds are stable? [19:57] Dunkirk, you can look at the source ya know :) [19:57] Dunkirk, but it's basically installing x11vnc and saving the password you put in MCC in ~/.vncpasswd [19:57] Sure, I can write my own operating system, too. [19:57] it should just be from the -fixes branch, which isn't the same as trunk [19:58] 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] Dunkirk, yeah /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh checks for the vncpasswd file [19:59] 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] superm1, Bingo. Thanks for that. [19:59] Dunkirk, http://mythbuntu.org/cheatsheet [19:59] [mythbuntu.org] Developer Cheatsheet | Mythbuntu [19:59] Woah. Cool. [19:59] explains a lot of what's going on behind the scenes if you want to see [20:00] superm1, THANKS! [20:17] np Dunkirk, have fun.
