[00:16] ripperda, only three options that come to mind: mtd --help; use the source luke; ps aux | grep mtd [01:08] superm1, thanks ;) [01:08] superm1, playing around with handbrake, since it will encode to mp4 w/ x264 & aac support [01:14] Yeah it's a nice tool. i've used it in the past too [13:20] 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] work: Please watch your language. [13:27] font size is configurable in mythfrontend [13:28] somehere in setup, mine isn't working atm so i can't direct you there [13:29] 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] mplayer must be used for what? oh wait, you don't mean the caption font [13:31] 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] is that also the caption font? [13:32] so i have to change the size in Settings -> TV -> Playback OSD (or something similar)? [13:33] im currently at work... so i dont have access to the box and cannot look it up - sorry [13:38] 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] yeah, i'm not sure about mythvideo. [13:41] what do you mean it wants to do a partial update? [13:41] when you install the deb it will want to do some updates, to bring you up to the weeklys [13:45] or the bugfixes, i don't remember which. [13:57] 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? === hpeter_ is now known as hpeter [13:59] found a thread that says that i can do "apt-get -s dist-upgrade" to simulate the update. i'll try that. [14:12] what do you mean? [14:12] a dist-upgrade is between mythbuntu versions, e.g. 9.04 to 9.10 [14:16] http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds <-- that's where you got the .deb you installed? [14:16] [www.mythbuntu.org] Automatic Daily builds | Mythbuntu [14:21] yes [14:23] 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] 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] the update manager or synaptic? [14:25] the update manager [14:25] maybe there is a package needed in a higher version, not provided by the ubuntu repositories yet, or something similar? [14:25] hold on my mythbuntu box is.... it's thinking. [14:25] *g* [14:26] its a clean install of mythbuntu (just added some movies to mythvideo and installed a remote) [14:26] yeah, i just made a clean install myself. [14:26] i mean, configured [14:27] ah. ok :) [14:27] and you did install 9.10, right? [14:27] yes [14:28] any idea what the packages disabled are? [14:28] for instance, mythtv-status, mythexport, mythgame [14:29] let me try applying the deb [14:30] yes, all you mentioned (as i recall). sorry i'm currently not at my box, so i could list those [14:33] did it offer to do a partial upgrade? [14:35] and if so, what did you pick? [14:36] i didnt do the update. i wanted to ask before my wife jells at my that i broke something (again) [14:37] ah, i see what you mean. [14:37] :) [14:37] enabling the testing ppa won't help, i just tested that. [14:39] i found this thread: describing the same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8657824&postcount=2 [14:39] [ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Mythbuntu Auto-Updates Questions [14:41] the next entry suggests that it has something to do with the nvidia-drivers, but i couldn't test it yet [14:41] ah, i too have nvidia drivers [14:42] i'm having the ION platform... [14:43] so i just went into synaptic instead [14:43] and it's not offering anything like a partial upgrade. [14:44] it just lets you update the whole mythtv package? [14:45] yes. it might be doing the whole same thing. [14:46] it is uninstalling a couple packages (an old nvidia one and a mythtv perl one) [14:46] upgrading a bunch of packages [14:46] and installing a few new ones. [14:46] nothing seemed out of order. it was all mythtv, mythtv support, or nvidia driver files. [14:46] ah. ok. ill also try that. [14:47] thanks for the help (an checking through that update process before me) :) [14:47] however, since it's pulling an nvidia driver update, ymmv. i take no responsibility for the wrath of your wife. [14:47] 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] work: woo, went off without a hitch for me. but i have a totally different nvidia [15:01] _Speedy2k: nothing at all happens? [15:02] :) 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] _Speedy2k: any possibility to try just putting the image on a usb key drive? some people find those to be more reliable. [15:03] 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] if downloaded the image and copied it onto and usb driver with "unetbootin" [15:06] i have ... [15:07] cant you then do an apt-get dist upgrade? [15:08] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Upgrading_Intrepid_or_Jaunty_to_Karmic [15:08] [ubuntuguide.org] Ubuntu:Karmic - [15:08] _Speedy2k: yeah you can install from usb key drive same as a cd [15:08] _Speedy2k: usually faster too. [15:09] 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] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [15:11] [help.ubuntu.com] Installation/FromUSBStick - Community Ubuntu Documentation [15:11] 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] 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 current stuff ? [15:22] [myth.mydomain.com] MyDomain | Domain Names, Web Hosting, and Free Domain Services [18:46] 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] 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] what is your adversion to the ppa? [19:12] work, ? [19:13] if your waiting for it to be added to the official repos, then you'll be waiting til april [19:13] no adversion, just having a running system and changing too much... [19:13] adding a ppa is not a change worth mentioning [19:13] but to each his own [19:14] yeah, but i get in trouble with my wife if i break something [19:15] I just don't understand the fear of the ppa. I'm trying to absolve you of this dissolution [19:16] I use the nvida ppa, drivers all day everyday [19:17] aren't the nvidia drivers in the mythbuntu ppa? [19:17] :) its not the ppa its the update of the drivers that i'm afraid of. [19:17] I'd have to look to verify [19:18] work, fear is the mind killer:) [19:18] they are, but in an older version 185 and without the vdpau drivers linked against the libvdpau-wrapper [19:19] hmm [19:19] * tgm4883 looks [19:19] I'm pretty sure I have the 190 drivers installed with vdpau [19:20] the update the mythbuntu gives me is 185 without vdpau [19:20] maybe it compiles the vdpau-driver for the libvdpau1 wrapper lib [19:20] it = nvidia installer [19:21] 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] libvdpau [19:21] I love PPAs [19:21] nvidia-graphics-drivers-190 [19:21] those are both for karmic [19:22] 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] hmm [19:22] my vdpau must not be working then? [19:23] maybe [19:23] foxbuntu, ^^ [19:23] i dont know [19:23] you should try [19:25] maybe ill add the nvidia ppa and update later this evening :D you convinced me darthanubis (dam.n) [19:26] :) [19:26] you'll be just fine [19:59] 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] did you refresh after the addition of the ppa and do an upgrade [20:07] work, ? [20:47] 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] work, which driver does the nvidia-settings gui say it is using? === aether is now known as ohm [21:12] can't look at the moment, wife is watching. i'll post this later darthanubis [22:37] darthanubis: nvidia-settings says 190.53 [23:19] hello guys i got a simple problem, how can i activate the system administration menu in mythbuntu? [23:20] im new to it and want to test a modification for my intel card to reduce flicker at high resolutions [23:22] but the administration seems to be disabled [23:30] Ratok, why does it seem disabled? [23:31] sry i am used to the system button next to applications [23:31] but there is none [23:31] click on applications, it should be in that list [23:33] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic#Fix_Intel_graphics_resolution_problems [23:33] [ubuntuguide.org] Ubuntu:Karmic - [23:34] yeah but i cannot access the advanced part [23:34] Ratok, thats probably not on the XFCE menu. I'd have to look to see what it is trying to accomplish [23:35] ah thx [23:35] i just got the described behaviour flickering after 5-10 sec [23:56] sry i gotta go
