[00:16] <superm1> ripperda, only three options that come to mind: mtd --help; use the source luke; ps aux | grep mtd
[01:08] <ripperda> superm1, thanks ;)
[01:08] <ripperda> superm1, playing around with handbrake, since it will encode to mp4 w/ x264 & aac support
[01:14] <superm1> Yeah it's a nice tool.  i've used it in the past too
[13:20] <work> Hello, im having a question about the subtitle font/ font size of the internal player. is it possible to change it, because its hard to read for me. its damn small and i couldn't find anything on the web (searched for ffmpeg + subtitles)
[13:20] <Zinn> work: Please watch your language.
[13:27] <LonEagle> font size is configurable in mythfrontend
[13:28] <LonEagle> somehere in setup, mine isn't working atm so i can't direct you there
[13:29] <work> ah thanks. i found a thread saying that mplayer must be used for that, so thats not a "must". i'll search and try it. thanks
[13:30] <LonEagle> mplayer must be used for what? oh wait, you don't mean the caption font
[13:31] <work> i mean the subtitles, i have a foreign language film and a subtitle .sub file. and the displayed subtitles are very small and hard to read
[13:32] <work> is that also the caption font?
[13:32] <work> so i have to change the size in Settings -> TV -> Playback OSD (or something similar)?
[13:33] <work> im currently at work... so i dont have access to the box and cannot look it up - sorry
[13:38] <work> i have another question to the autobuild system. i installed the .dep package from the mythbuntu website, configured it to update to 0.22 (didnt check the testing ppa), and now the updatemanager (mythbuntu 9.10) wants to make a partial update, most packages with mythtv in the name are not enabled. do i not meed the requirements? how can i solve this problem? or look more deeply into it? should i enable the testing ppa?
[13:40] <LonEagle> yeah, i'm not sure about mythvideo.
[13:41] <LonEagle> what do you mean it wants to do a partial update?
[13:41] <LonEagle> when you install the deb it will want to do some updates, to bring you up to the weeklys
[13:45] <LonEagle> or the bugfixes, i don't remember which.
[13:57] <work> yeah, but most of the updates the update manager lists are not enabled by default. is that behaviour intended? can i safely enable them without breaking something?
[13:59] <work> found a thread that says that i can do "apt-get -s dist-upgrade" to simulate the update. i'll try that.
[14:12] <LonEagle> what do you mean?
[14:12] <LonEagle> a dist-upgrade is between mythbuntu versions, e.g. 9.04 to 9.10
[14:16] <LonEagle> http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds <-- that's where you got the .deb you installed?
[14:16] <Zinn> [www.mythbuntu.org] Automatic Daily builds | Mythbuntu
[14:21] <work> yes
[14:23] <LonEagle> okay, so that package itself doesn't update mythbuntu, it just sets you up to be able to update mythtv to the autobuilds.
[14:24] <work> that is what i mean. i then started the update manager, and it shows a list with updatebale packages. most of the mythtv related and most of them disabled (but not greyed out - i could enable them). but this behaviour is new to me. so my question is, why are these disabled, can i enable them without breaking something
[14:25] <LonEagle> the update manager or synaptic?
[14:25] <work> the update manager
[14:25] <work> maybe there is a package needed in a higher version, not provided by the ubuntu repositories yet, or something similar?
[14:25] <LonEagle> hold on my mythbuntu box is....  it's thinking.
[14:25] <work> *g*
[14:26] <work> its a clean install of mythbuntu (just added some movies to mythvideo and installed a remote)
[14:26] <LonEagle> yeah, i just made a clean install myself.
[14:26] <work> i mean, configured
[14:27] <work> ah. ok :)
[14:27] <LonEagle> and you did install 9.10, right?
[14:27] <work> yes
[14:28] <LonEagle> any idea what the packages disabled are?
[14:28] <LonEagle> for instance, mythtv-status, mythexport, mythgame
[14:29] <LonEagle> let me try applying the deb
[14:30] <work> yes, all you mentioned (as i recall). sorry i'm currently not at my box, so i could list those
[14:33] <LonEagle> did it offer to do a partial upgrade?
[14:35] <LonEagle> and if so, what did you pick?
[14:36] <work> i didnt do the update. i wanted to ask before my wife jells at my that i broke something (again)
[14:37] <LonEagle> ah, i see what you mean.
[14:37] <work> :)
[14:37] <LonEagle> enabling the testing ppa won't help, i just tested that.
[14:39] <work> i found this thread: describing the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8657824&postcount=2
[14:39] <Zinn> [ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Mythbuntu Auto-Updates Questions
[14:41] <work> the next entry suggests that it has something to do with the nvidia-drivers, but i couldn't test it yet
[14:41] <LonEagle> ah, i too have nvidia drivers
[14:42] <work> i'm having the ION platform...
[14:43] <LonEagle> so i just went into synaptic instead
[14:43] <LonEagle> and it's not offering anything like a partial upgrade.
[14:44] <work> it just lets you update the whole mythtv package?
[14:45] <LonEagle> yes. it might be doing the whole same thing.
[14:46] <LonEagle> it is uninstalling a couple packages (an old nvidia one and a mythtv perl one)
[14:46] <LonEagle> upgrading a bunch of packages
[14:46] <LonEagle> and installing a few new ones.
[14:46] <LonEagle> nothing seemed out of order. it was all mythtv, mythtv support, or nvidia driver files.
[14:46] <work> ah. ok. ill also try that.
[14:47] <work> thanks for the help (an checking through that update process before me) :)
[14:47] <LonEagle> however, since it's pulling an nvidia driver update, ymmv. i take no responsibility for the wrath of your wife.
[14:47] <LonEagle> i'll let you know how updating through synaptic goes in another 10 minutes.
[14:55] <_Speedy2k> Hi!
[14:57] <_Speedy2k> I have a little question here, i have just downloaded and burned the mythbuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso and i'm trying to install it on my brand new FitPC2, the cd is loading from my usb cdrom drive and when i got to the menu where i select my installation type, i select install mythbuntu on HDD and it just hand there, nothing happen, does someone have already got this problem and is there any way to make it install ??
[15:01] <LonEagle> work: woo, went off without a hitch for me. but i have a totally different nvidia
[15:01] <LonEagle> _Speedy2k: nothing at all happens?
[15:02] <work> :) nice. i'll just try to update everything without the nvidia drivers. and if i feel lucky, ill just update them too
[15:02] <_Speedy2k> No i have to hit ctrl-alt-del to reboot the pc, i can't change selection anymore
[15:03] <LonEagle> _Speedy2k: any possibility to try just putting the image on a usb key drive? some people find those to be more reliable.
[15:03] <LonEagle> of course it needs to be made bootable by the appropriate utility. (it's on any ubuntu pc, but there's other ways too if you don't have one available.)
[15:06] <_Speedy2k> Yes but i will be able to install from the usb thumb drive or it will only be a live cd ?
[15:06] <_Speedy2k> because right now Ubuntu 8.04 is installed and running on it
[15:06] <work> if downloaded the image and copied it onto and usb driver with "unetbootin"
[15:06] <work> i have ...
[15:07] <work> cant you then do an apt-get dist upgrade?
[15:08] <work> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Upgrading_Intrepid_or_Jaunty_to_Karmic
[15:08] <Zinn> [ubuntuguide.org] Ubuntu:Karmic -
[15:08] <LonEagle> _Speedy2k: yeah you can install from usb key drive same as a cd
[15:08] <LonEagle> _Speedy2k: usually faster too.
[15:09] <work> though not all usb drives support a MBR (i found out the hardway)
[15:10] <_Speedy2k> Ok is there any good how-to do this ??
[15:11] <_Speedy2k> i'm gona try it right away
[15:11] <LonEagle> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[15:11] <Zinn> [help.ubuntu.com] Installation/FromUSBStick - Community Ubuntu Documentation
[15:11] <LonEagle> sub the mythbuntu iso wherever you see the ubuntu iso mentioned.
[15:14] <_Speedy2k> k
[15:14] <_Speedy2k> i'm trying it to see if it is booting
[15:22] <redparchel> I'm trying to put mythweb on it's own vhost myth.mydomain.com, i'm running mythbuntu 9.10, can i just wrap the /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf with <VirtualHost *:80> current stuff </VirtualHost>?
[15:22] <Zinn> [myth.mydomain.com] MyDomain | Domain Names, Web Hosting, and Free Domain Services
[18:46] <work> hey, LonEagle, i have just decided not to update the mythtv through the auto-builds. where the mythtvbuild provided by mythbuntu 9.10 (more or less) directly links against the nvidia-vdpau driver, the new mythtv build uses the libvdpau1 library, which only provides a wrapper for vdpau-drivers. i have searched a little bit around and found the "nvidia vdpau team" ppa which provides a vdpau driver for nvidia cards linked against the libvdpau1 librar
[18:46] <work> it seems, as long, as ubuntu does not provide the nvidia-vdpau-driver through the multiverse, there is only vdpau support by installing the nvidia drivers from the nvidia ppa (sorry for the long post). long answer short: ill update as soon as ubuntu provides the vdpau driver through its repositories (whenever it will happen), or when im loosing patience :D
[19:12] <darthanubis>  what is your adversion to the ppa?
[19:12] <darthanubis> work, ?
[19:13] <darthanubis> if your waiting for it to be added to the official repos, then you'll be waiting til april
[19:13] <work> no adversion, just having a running system and changing too much...
[19:13] <darthanubis> adding a ppa is not a change worth mentioning
[19:13] <darthanubis> but to each his own
[19:14] <work> yeah, but i get in trouble with my wife if i break something
[19:15] <darthanubis> I just don't understand the fear of the ppa. I'm trying to absolve you of this dissolution
[19:16] <darthanubis> I use the nvida ppa, drivers all day everyday
[19:17] <tgm4883> aren't the nvidia drivers in the mythbuntu ppa?
[19:17] <work> :) its not the ppa its the update of the drivers that i'm afraid of.
[19:17] <tgm4883> I'd have to look to verify
[19:18] <darthanubis> work, fear is the mind killer:)
[19:18] <work> they are, but in an older version 185 and without the vdpau drivers linked against the libvdpau-wrapper
[19:19] <tgm4883> hmm
[19:19]  * tgm4883 looks
[19:19] <tgm4883> I'm pretty sure I have the 190 drivers installed with vdpau
[19:20] <work> the update the mythbuntu gives me is 185 without vdpau
[19:20] <work> maybe it compiles the vdpau-driver for the libvdpau1 wrapper lib
[19:20] <work> it = nvidia installer
[19:21] <darthanubis> work, I understand your position. Just know that the nvidia ppa works. And I have yet to add/use a PPA for Ubuntu that has not worked.
[19:21] <tgm4883> libvdpau
[19:21] <darthanubis> I love PPAs
[19:21] <tgm4883> nvidia-graphics-drivers-190
[19:21] <tgm4883> those are both for karmic
[19:22] <work> tgm4883: i came across the libvdpau1 library and it is just a wrapper, for vdpau support you need the nvidia-vdpau-driver package
[19:22] <tgm4883> hmm
[19:22] <tgm4883> my vdpau must not be working then?
[19:23] <work> maybe
[19:23] <tgm4883> foxbuntu, ^^
[19:23] <work> i dont know
[19:23] <work> you should try
[19:25] <work> maybe ill add the nvidia ppa and update later this evening :D you convinced me darthanubis (dam.n)
[19:26] <darthanubis> :)
[19:26] <darthanubis> you'll be just fine
[19:59] <work> i upgraded the nvidia package to the 190.xx series. yay. but no vdpau-driver. hmm. maybe my guessing is all wrong? not sure how to get the nvidia-vdpau-driver package recommended by the libvdpau1 package
[20:05] <darthanubis> did you refresh after the addition of the ppa and do an upgrade
[20:07] <darthanubis> work, ?
[20:47] <work> darthanubis: sorry, was occupied. yes ran an upgrade, everything went fine. it installed (or updated - i dont know for sure) the nvidia 185 vdpau driver
[20:50] <darthanubis> work, which driver does the nvidia-settings gui say it is using?
[21:12] <work> can't look at the moment, wife is watching. i'll post this later darthanubis
[22:37] <work> darthanubis: nvidia-settings says 190.53
[23:19] <Ratok> hello guys i got a simple problem, how can i activate the system administration menu in mythbuntu?
[23:20] <Ratok> im new to it and want to test a modification for my intel card to reduce flicker at high resolutions
[23:22] <Ratok> but the administration seems to be disabled
[23:30] <tgm4883> Ratok, why does it seem disabled?
[23:31] <Ratok> sry i am used to the system button next to applications
[23:31] <Ratok> but there is none
[23:31] <tgm4883> click on applications, it should be in that list
[23:33] <Ratok> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Fix_Intel_graphics_resolution_problems
[23:33] <Zinn> [ubuntuguide.org] Ubuntu:Karmic -
[23:34] <Ratok> yeah but i cannot access the advanced part
[23:34] <tgm4883> Ratok, thats probably not on the XFCE menu. I'd have to look to see what it is trying to accomplish
[23:35] <Ratok> ah thx
[23:35] <Ratok> i just got the described behaviour flickering after 5-10 sec
[23:56] <Ratok> sry i gotta go
