[00:01] any progress for the PVR-150 Blaster? [01:41] I 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. [01:58] benomatic, did you pull an actual mythtv backup? [01:58] benomatic, rather mysql backup [02:03] i just figured out where it lives, and i don't think so [02:03] i may just have to start from scratch :( [02:09] benomatic, very much so if you didnt backup the db [02:11] yeah, i thought i backed up /var but found that i had failed. life goes on i suppose :) [02:11] well, that my tarball was empty [10:22] Hi 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.

[11:37] 1- 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. [13:57] JARROD1: 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? [13:59] yeah wireless keyboards are ok, its personal preference. iphone? probably lol. [14:00] It's a geforce 6800 mobile, so not too bad. HDMI outs, not sure if those will work under linux [14:00] Hehe, yeah, maybe lol, I read I can use it as a VNC mouse and keyboard though... [14:04] stuarticus: yes, there is remote software for the iphone [14:05] What's it called? [14:06] stuarticus: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/416304 [14:06] [www.gossamer-threads.com] Remotux Released! | MythTV | Users [14:07] thanks, will check it out [14:07] Remotux appears to be a keyboard/mouse replacement. [14:09] Great, now I will always win remote control fights with GF [14:37] has 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 option [14:38] (more out of the box than the resolution covered here http://old.nabble.com/Haupauge-Cards-on-Ubuntu-9.10-td26009614.html) [14:38] [old.nabble.com] Nabble - LIRC - Haupauge Cards on Ubuntu 9.10 [17:58] mce remote worked in 8.10 but doesn't work in 9.10 [18:02] def works in 9.10, a lot of us own them; likely a misconfiguration somewhere [18:07] i've done 4 fresh installs on the same box and no joy [18:10] if 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 remote [18:11] i have the remote enabled in the infrared setup page [18:18] lime4x4, just to check you are using both a mceusb remote and receiver, right? [18:19] yes [18:19] when i type lsusb it's being detected as a phillips [18:20] i'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 likely [18:21] is 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? [18:29] it was working on this box till i upgraded to 9.10. Thought something happened during the upgrade then tried a fresh install [18:32] okay 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 restart [18:37] nope still not working [22:23] man, hauupage dtv cards are EXPEN$IVE!
