[00:28] <Zinn> Come play 2 rounds of #wolfie and get assistance with your issue
[04:43] <mdisieno> i have an nvidia powered htpc that is currently having some overscan issues with its dvi > hdmi connection to my vx37l,first of all what nvidia drivers has this magical toggle i hear of for overscan, or how do i get nvidia settings not to bypass my xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ that way my modelines can do what they are supposed to
[11:19] <henkpoley> Are any annoying bugs known for mythbuntu 10.04 ?
[11:21] <henkpoley> Not that I should really think about updating, everything seems to work at the moment ;-). Only the exit-popup is kinda slow.
[11:29] <Daviey> henkpoley: I'm using it at home in production without issue.. but that isn't a gurantee
[11:29] <Daviey> if you are pretty tech savy, then we welcome more testers!
[11:34] <bjd> I'm using the latest build -- anyone else get a weird character when it says "now playing" when starting live tv?
[11:34] <bjd> wonder if that is theme specific or encoding issues maybe
[11:40] <henkpoley> I'd say snap a screenshot (possibly with camera) and submit a bug
[11:41] <henkpoley> Daviey: you know if switching pack to the nvidia proprietary driver is easy? I believe 10.04 runs with nuveau
[11:46] <henkpoley> Ah, the 2.6.32 kernel also seems to fix the HDMI audio for my GT200 card. Though I have a work around for that, that works just fine (digital audio suppressed, so analog audio cable works).
[11:46] <Daviey> henkpoley: I would think it is.. the funny thing is - i have no idea what i am using :)
[11:46] <henkpoley> You are not playing back HD video ?
[11:47] <Daviey> henkpoley: my main frontend, i just upgraded and it "just worked" with VDPAU - so i would think the non-free upgrade of nvidia driver was painless
[11:47] <Daviey> henkpoley: I am.
[11:48] <henkpoley> Maybe it's only for new installations, nouveau doesn't seem to support vdpau
[11:48] <Daviey> henkpoley: I'm pretty confident the non-free is ok
[11:50] <henkpoley> The way you talk about it, it seems that the interface to switch is still there, and working in the beta. Which isn't always the case with nvidia drivers around the time of ubuntu releases ;-)
[11:51] <Daviey> (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
[11:51] <Daviey> (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[11:51] <Daviey> (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver  195.36.15  Thu Mar 11 22:01:49 PST 2010
[11:51] <henkpoley> :-)
[11:52] <Daviey> henkpoley: my main frontend is my only nvidia device in the house.. I didn't even think about that working, i just upgraded
[11:52] <henkpoley> could you also `cat /proc/asound/version` ?
[11:52] <henkpoley> Not that I particularly need HDMI audio, but it's a cable less
[11:55] <Daviey> henkpoley: i use HDMI audio
[11:55] <Daviey> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
[11:55] <henkpoley> thanks, that's not the version I need
[11:55] <Daviey> how
[11:55] <henkpoley> I believe .22 can be overriden, and .23 works out of the box
[11:55] <Daviey> however i use an internal alsa mixer prior to hdmi
[11:56] <henkpoley> Yes, but you do not use the GT200, which is rather new
[11:56] <Daviey> ahh
[11:57] <Daviey> henkpoley: > two years old?
[11:57] <henkpoley> Anyways, I'm off to the scouts, got to hide some chocolate eggs ;-) (and see how much of the boats are already prepared or painted)
[11:57] <henkpoley> er no, "something 200" then
[11:57] <henkpoley> last fall
[11:58] <Daviey> heh
[11:58] <Daviey> o/
[11:59] <henkpoley> cheap silent card, btw
[17:20] <dan> anybody know what user the "Control Centre" is run as from the "Diskless Server" page?
[17:20] <dan> I'm forwarding X over ssh and when I click the Control Centre button I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication."
[17:21] <dan> the rest of mythbuntu-control-centre works fine
[17:26] <tgm4883> what version of mythbuntu?
[17:27] <dan> ubuntu 8.04, can't see a version number for mythbuntu
[17:32] <tgm4883> it would be 8.04
[17:32] <tgm4883> I think that runs as the regular user
[17:32] <tgm4883> so when you click on the diskless server page of MCC you get that error?
[17:33] <dan> yeah in the terminal
[17:33] <tgm4883> hmm
[17:33] <dan> if i run with -X rather than -Y i get a load of python errors
[17:34] <tgm4883> let me ping the dev on that, i'm not sure he is around though as he is in germany
[17:35] <dan> ok thanks think it might be my lack of knowledge about ssh and X as much as anything else
[17:47] <tgm4883> dan, doesn't look like he is around right now
[17:49] <dan> ok, thanks for trying
[18:05] <tgm4883> dan, looks like it runs as root
[18:42] <dan> thanks
[18:47] <dan> it's strange, because obviously mythbuntu-control-centre runs as root too, and that seems fine
[18:51] <tgm4883> dan from dev "hum. we do perform some magic to mount the X11 socket (AFAIR!!) in the chroot. that can pose problems when using X11 forwarding.. maybe ssh does something differently and we don't account for that"
[18:51] <tgm4883> unfortunatly diskless no longer has a maintainer, and it hasn't been ported to the new version of MCC
[18:57] <dan> no worries
[18:57] <dan> i will come back to it tomorrow
[23:15] <avihay> What player does mythtv uses for movies in the media library? is it MPlayer?
[23:22] <superm1> internal player
[23:22] <superm1> (by default)
[23:23] <superm1> it can be configured to use an external player if desired though on a file type by file type bases
[23:23] <superm1> basis
[23:25] <Daviey> since about 0.21 the Internal player works for pretty much everything thrown at it
[23:29] <avihay> well, when I press a button on my remote, it shows a window titled mplayer
[23:30] <avihay> I'm useing version 0.21 or whatever came with mythbuntu 8.04
[23:30] <avihay> *8.04.1
[23:30] <avihay> the thing is, my subtitles appear in the wrong charset
[23:31] <avihay> I can get a movie to show fine under mplayer
[23:32] <avihay> if I could use the same setting on the player window that mythtv opens, it should be fine
[23:39] <Daviey> avihay: 8.04 is really pretty old now.. If it were me, i'd upgrade.
[23:40] <avihay> yes, well, I am haveing trouble with 9.10 and myth .22
[23:40] <avihay> But I think I'm starting to understand how to solve them
[23:42] <avihay> the biggest problem I have with .22 is that it doesn't show my movies/videos
[23:44] <avihay> everyone is all like "press menu and press refresh". I couldn't find it. in .21, when I enter the video meneger (where you can do stuff to all the videos like makeing them invisible,) it does a refresh. it doesn't seem to happen in .22
[23:45] <Daviey> hmm
[23:45] <Daviey> avihay: there is an option in the settings to get the behaviour you want
[23:45] <Daviey> i'm pretty sure it's always defaulted to the "press menu and press refresh"
[23:46] <Daviey> i know on .22 and .23 I have it show all content.
[23:46] <avihay> It's on an NTFS paritition. I started to think for a while that that was the problem
[23:47] <Daviey> i wouldn't have thought so
[23:47] <Daviey> but NTFS isn't one i would recoomend
[23:47] <Daviey> recommend
[23:47] <avihay> I might try mythbuntu 10.04 if it comes out with .23
[23:47] <Daviey> avihay: please do, for savy people we need more testers
[23:48] <Daviey> I'm running it in production
[23:49] <bjd> mmm, I may upgrade to 0.23 tomorrow then :)
[23:50] <avihay> It's a machine for my ol'e folks.... so it has to work 100% at the things they use.
[23:51] <Daviey> superm1: Regarding xmltv, upstream are releasing soon.  Which will give us a new grabber.. However, Debian unstable will have a new cvs snapshot (with the grabber fix for UK) when Debian buildd's have caught up from there back log
[23:51] <Daviey> I'm thinking about syncing the snapshot, then bumping to the new release if it comes out on time
[23:52] <Daviey> What do you think?
[23:52] <superm1> sounds fine by me
[23:52] <superm1> btw, do you know how to query if you are able to upload a particular package based on your current rights?
[23:53] <Daviey> yeah
[23:53] <Daviey> edit-acl.py
[23:54] <Daviey> i have access to http://erk.daviey.com/ubuntu-archive-access.txt
[23:54] <Zinn> [erk.daviey.com]
[23:54] <Daviey> (lucid)
[23:54] <superm1> cool
[23:54] <superm1> hdhomerun-config isn't on there for some reason
[23:54] <superm1> how updated is that list?
[23:54] <Daviey> last night
[23:55] <superm1> hm
[23:55] <Daviey> Last-Modified: Fri, 02 Apr 2010 21:47:34 GMT
[23:55] <superm1> i thought we were seeding it
[23:55] <Daviey> xmltv is there
[23:56] <avihay> so, any idea about the subtitles? maybe I should use mplayer as the external player?
[23:57] <Daviey> avihay: yeah, as hardy is pretty old - it might be better
[23:57] <Daviey> as i say, if it were me - i'd upgrade
[23:59] <avihay> I downgraded because it didn't work with the newer version
[23:59] <avihay> it just wouldn't list my movies
