dj_segfaultTrying to do software update and autobuilds is timing out.  "W: Failed to fetch http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org/mythbuntu/trunk-0.22/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release.gpg  Could not connect to us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org:80 (87.117.230.144), connection timed out"02:09
silverdulcetdj_segfault: yeah noticed it was timing out yesterday as well, you could reconfigure the auotbuilds package and try the uk repo, I did that for a while when the us repo was down for a while last time.02:10
dj_segfaultHeh.  Ok.  Just change us to uk in the url?02:11
silverdulcetdj_segfault: I think you can do a dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-autobuilds err, whatever the package is called. Its a deb now.02:12
silverdulcetthen it asks you which repo you want to use, one of the options is uk or us.02:12
silverdulcetsorry its mythbuntu-repos.deb02:13
dj_segfaultThanks.  It's mythbuntu-repos for the record.02:13
silverdulcetyou could edit it in the text file, but if you do it through the deb, it keeps things nice and neat for upgrades from them, etc.02:14
dj_segfaultWorked great.  Thanks.02:15
silverdulcetdj_segfault: np, was kismet, was thinking of doing the same thing if the us repo didn't respond again. ;-p02:17
dj_segfaultI noticed it yesterday too, but I figured it would go away.  Is there someone to notify or will they figure it out?02:17
silverdulcetdj_segfault: not sure who runs it, last year when it was down it was for quite a while, pretty sure they know about it.02:23
dj_segfaultOK, I guess the squirrels on the treadmill got tired.  I'll leave it as UK for now.  It's fast enough that way02:23
ripperdahey guys, I'm trying to modify what the power button on my gyration remote does, but I'm having trouble figuring out how it routes through the system. does anyone have experience with that?07:07
Shred00us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org appears to be down13:32
Davieybah13:33
innatechHaving a problem w/M-buntu Karmic and an HVR-1600 card (CX-18 based) -- S-Video is recording only green bars and garbled audio.13:36
DavieyShred00: I've changed the IP address, so you either need to flush your cache or wait for it to expire13:38
DavieyShred00: or change to another mirror :)13:38
Shred00Daviey: :-(  typically one should reduce the TTL to something very small and wait for (old) TTL time to expire before one makes an IP change so that users are not left holding on to an old record for (up to) TTL.13:40
Shred00i guess i will just have to wait.  i just sucks that apt sits waiting and waiting and waiting until it times out.13:40
DavieyShred00: well in this instance it serves no purpose reducing the TTL as the old record doesn't work13:41
DavieyShred00: sed -i 's/us.autobuilds/uk.autobuilds/g' /etc/apt/$sourcesfile ; would be a much faster fix for you13:42
Shred00Daviey: i think you misunderstand.  in advance of changing the ip, you reduce the ttl on the existing RR and then wait for that time before you change the ip.  so if the ttl is a week, you reduce it to 5 minutes, then wait a week before you make the change.13:42
DavieyShred00: i think you misunderstand, there isn't a RR13:43
Shred00before the ip change?13:43
DavieyThere never was13:43
Shred00how did us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org ever resolve then?13:44
DavieyIt doesn't need a RR to resolve13:44
Davieythe TTL is 1hr which is hardly painful anyway.13:44
Shred00how does us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org not need an RR?  nobody could ever resolve that name without one.13:44
Shred00here is the (old) RR right here:13:45
Shred00us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org. 166 IN     A       87.117.230.14413:45
Shred00here is the new one:13:46
Shred00us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org. 3600 IN    A       87.117.230.24713:46
DavieyShred00: by RR i assumed you mean'tRound Robin, but i guess you mean Resouce Record/13:46
Shred00yes.  RR == Resource Record13:46
DavieyShred00: I know what the entries are, *I* just changed them13:46
Shred00Daviey: but you were denying there was an RR which clearly there had to be so I had to provide evidence to refute your claim that there wasn't one.13:47
DavieyShred00: it looks like you had a TTL of 166, so it's hardly a long wait for you anway.13:47
DavieyShred00: I'm not sure what you are trying to prove.13:48
Shred00in any case, the way you minimize the impact of changing an ip is to first reduce the TTL of the existing record.  then wait that long before you make the change13:48
DavieyShred00: Ok, next time we have a mirror that doesn't resolve.. i'll ensure that i reduce the TTL to leave people hanging longer.13:49
Shred00in any case.  it's clear that the problem was just transient.13:49
Shred00how does reducing the TTL leave people hanging longer?13:49
Daviey87.117.230.144 is a DEAD mirror, so reducing the TTL for that is foolhardy.13:49
DavieySo you suggest i reduce the ttl from 1hr (which is pretty short anyway) to 5 mins, wait an hour then make the change?13:50
Davieymakes no sense.13:50
Shred00i take this was an "emergency" change then?13:50
Davieytake it how you please.13:51
Shred00you didn't say that originally.  you simply said you changed the ip.  i interpreted that as this was a planned change.13:51
Shred00anyway.  thanx for taking care of it.13:55

tjwis http://us.autobuilds.mythbuntu.org going to come back eventually?20:08
rhpot1991tjw: its being worked on, last I saw20:09
tjwok, it's been down for a few days, so i was just wondering if i need to reconfigure it to use a different server or something20:10
tjwi just did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythbuntu-repos' and chose PPA instead of US and that seems to work20:12
tjwfwiw20:12
tjwat least I'm hoping they have the same files20:12
slonbghi. I'm logged in to my mythbuntu box over ssh. I'm trying to restart the GUI from there with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. Unfortuantely, this command never exits (i.e. does not shut down gdm). Instead, a pupup jumps on the tv with the text "There already appears to be an X server running on dysplay: 0. Should another display number is tried?". How can I restart the GUI from a ssh login?20:36
rhpot1991slonbg: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart20:38
slonbgrhpot1991: I hit ctrl-c on the gdm stop. with restart, the same popup happen20:39
rhpot1991is another user logged in or something?20:40
slonbgrhpot1991: sorry for the delay. No, no other user. Its a standalone machine, connected to the TV. Only remote there. It auto log in to start mythtv. then I login over ssh.21:30
rhpot1991slonbg: what version of mythbuntu?21:33
slonbgrhpot1991: 9.0421:34
slonbgrhpot1991: hmmm. ps aux displays 2 equal gdm lines for /usr/sbin/gdm ...and one for /usr/bin/X .... -auth /avr/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth ...21:37
slonbgthe gdm line are like: /usr/sbin/gdm --config=/etc/gdm/gdm-cdd.conf21:38
slonbgone has flags Ss, the other only S21:39
