bbigrasany progress for the PVR-150 Blaster?00:01
benomaticI have a mythtv box that was 9.04; for various reasons, I upgraded to 9.10, but not by normal path (which I tried, and which failed).  instead I had to do overwrite install.  I backed up /etc, and let it overwrite away.  Any chance I can redeem my existing tv database/shows/etc, which were not wiped?  simply untarring /etc/mythtv didn't cut it, but I am ignorant enough to not have found where else to look, thus far.01:41
foxbuntubenomatic, did you pull an actual mythtv backup?01:58
foxbuntubenomatic, rather mysql backup01:58
benomatici just figured out where it lives, and i don't think so02:03
benomatici may just have to start from scratch :(02:03
foxbuntubenomatic, very much so if you didnt backup the db02:09
benomaticyeah, i thought i backed up /var but found that i had failed.  life goes on i suppose :)02:11
benomaticwell, that my tarball was empty02:11
stuarticusHi guys, I'm just starting a mythbuntu install on a vaio vgn-fz21m, with dead internal keyboard and mouse. Want to use it as front end. 2 questions, 1 is there an audio player built in, like amarok or something? And 2 any general advice before I start? Many thanks.10:22

jarrod11- there is mythmusic, I haven't used it though. 2- if it has a decent GPU, play around with the profiles a bit to take advantage of the gpu.. you will probably need a remote control, media center remotes are probably easiest with lots of setup guides.11:37
stuarticusJARROD1: I was thnking I could get away with a wireless keybaord and mouse combo, like the keysonic 2.4GHz, you think I would need remote as well? Is ther any way to use my iphone?13:57
jarrod1yeah wireless keyboards are ok, its personal preference. iphone? probably lol.13:59
stuarticusIt's a geforce 6800 mobile, so not too bad. HDMI outs, not sure if those will work under linux14:00
stuarticusHehe, yeah, maybe lol, I read I can use it as a VNC mouse and keyboard though...14:00
mrandstuarticus: yes, there is remote software for the iphone14:04
stuarticusWhat's it called?14:05

Zinn[www.gossamer-threads.com] Remotux Released! | MythTV | Users14:06
stuarticusthanks, will check it out14:07
mrandRemotux appears to be a keyboard/mouse replacement.14:07
stuarticusGreat, now I will always win remote control fights with GF14:09
Rob_Zhas the issue with 9.10 and i2c + remote controls been worked out yet? I'd like to upgrade but if the remote control doesnt' work yet it's not fully a viable option14:37

lime4x4mce remote worked in 8.10 but doesn't work in 9.1017:58
superm1def works in 9.10, a lot of us own them; likely a misconfiguration somewhere18:02
lime4x4i've done 4 fresh installs on the same box and no joy18:07
lime4x4if i type in irw in a terminal nothing shows up when pressing buttons. The red led lights up on the receiver whenever i push a button on the remote18:10
lime4x4i have the remote enabled in the infrared setup page18:11
superm1lime4x4, just to check you are using both a mceusb remote and receiver, right?18:18
lime4x4yes18:19
lime4x4when i type lsusb it's being detected as a phillips18:19
superm1i'd normally say perhaps the product id isn't contained within the lirc driver, but if these exact devices worked in 8.10, that's not too likely18:20
superm1is it possible the hardware has gone bad between 8.10 and 9.10? do you still have an 8.10 install you can compare against to ensure that?18:21
lime4x4it was working on this box till i upgraded to 9.10. Thought something happened during the upgrade then tried a fresh install18:29
superm1okay so as an experiment, you can try to stop the lirc init script (sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop), unplug the usb receiver and plug it back in.  if the udev rule is working and detecting your hardware, it will automatically restart18:32
lime4x4nope still not working18:37
ahhughesman, hauupage dtv cards are EXPEN$IVE!22:23
