[00:01] <bbigras> any progress for the PVR-150 Blaster?
[01:41] <benomatic> 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] <foxbuntu> benomatic, did you pull an actual mythtv backup?
[01:58] <foxbuntu> benomatic, rather mysql backup
[02:03] <benomatic> i just figured out where it lives, and i don't think so
[02:03] <benomatic> i may just have to start from scratch :(
[02:09] <foxbuntu> benomatic, very much so if you didnt backup the db
[02:11] <benomatic> yeah, i thought i backed up /var but found that i had failed.  life goes on i suppose :)
[02:11] <benomatic> well, that my tarball was empty
[10:22] <stuarticus> 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] <jarrod1> 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] <stuarticus> 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] <jarrod1> yeah wireless keyboards are ok, its personal preference. iphone? probably lol.
[14:00] <stuarticus> It's a geforce 6800 mobile, so not too bad. HDMI outs, not sure if those will work under linux
[14:00] <stuarticus> Hehe, yeah, maybe lol, I read I can use it as a VNC mouse and keyboard though...
[14:04] <mrand> stuarticus: yes, there is remote software for the iphone
[14:05] <stuarticus> What's it called?

[14:07] <stuarticus> thanks, will check it out
[14:07] <mrand> Remotux appears to be a keyboard/mouse replacement.
[14:09] <stuarticus> Great, now I will always win remote control fights with GF
[14:37] <Rob_Z> 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] <Rob_Z> (more out of the box than the resolution covered here http://old.nabble.com/Haupauge-Cards-on-Ubuntu-9.10-td26009614.html)

[17:58] <lime4x4> mce remote worked in 8.10 but doesn't work in 9.10
[18:02] <superm1> def works in 9.10, a lot of us own them; likely a misconfiguration somewhere
[18:07] <lime4x4> i've done 4 fresh installs on the same box and no joy
[18:10] <lime4x4> 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] <lime4x4> i have the remote enabled in the infrared setup page
[18:18] <superm1> lime4x4, just to check you are using both a mceusb remote and receiver, right?
[18:19] <lime4x4> yes
[18:19] <lime4x4> when i type lsusb it's being detected as a phillips
[18:20] <superm1> 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] <superm1> 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] <lime4x4> 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] <superm1> 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] <lime4x4> nope still not working
[22:23] <ahhughes> man, hauupage dtv cards are EXPEN$IVE!
