| mdisieno | i need someone familiar with modelines and running 1080 through a tv. i will supply Xorg.0.log if needed | 00:53 |
|---|---|---|
| mdisieno | typing this with one hand so forgive me, im attempting to use modelines to combat my overscan issue with my tv. i have a vizio vx37l runnning 1080i right now, overscanned. the gpu is an nvidia7900gtx piping to the tv via a single link dvi-d to hdmi cable im trying to just fix the overscan and get my sides back. | 01:00 |
| mdisieno | brb going to try new modeline. | 01:05 |
| troldrik | I upgraded to lucid and its 0.23, but I can't start mythtv-setup to upgrade the db: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/K8jDm4uF | 01:41 |
| Daviey | troldrik: can you raise a bug, and state what you upgraded from, please. | 01:48 |
| troldrik | on launchpad? | 01:51 |
| troldrik | hmm.. seems it was insisting on a .22 mythtv-common package. | 02:03 |
| troldrik | trying a nuke and install. | 02:03 |
| troldrik | fixed it. | 02:05 |
| superm1 | troldrik, in the future, can you please file a bug before you nuke it if you encounter problems like that? | 02:23 |
| superm1 | it's the only way we can normally fix those kinds of things | 02:23 |
| troldrik | well I figured since I've been using a third party source for .22 it wouldn't be of that much use. | 02:24 |
| mdisieno | whats the worse that could happen if my modelines are off in my xorg.conf could it fry my gpu? | 02:26 |
| troldrik | just the display device. | 02:26 |
| troldrik | though... it'd have to be pretty old. | 02:27 |
| mdisieno | oh so it could only eff up my tv. k, i had a bit of an issue with modelines, watched as my tv's whites turned a little green and fuzzy | 02:27 |
| mdisieno | troldrik, no, its recent, vx37l | 02:27 |
| mdisieno | troldrik, wooo, sigh of relief | 02:28 |
| superm1 | troldrik, even with third party sources, if they're common and it's something we can try to fix upgrades from we do | 02:28 |
| superm1 | so just FYI in the future :) | 02:28 |
| superm1 | we're not as strict as other ubuntu packages in that sense | 02:29 |
| troldrik | k. | 02:29 |
| troldrik | Well the next problem is that mythvideo crashes when I switch to file browsing mode... but it's too late to mess with it. | 02:29 |
| troldrik | fails on a QList<T> assert... smells like a code bug. | 02:32 |
| mrand | troldrik: If it still crashes after enabling auto-builds, please follow the directions here : http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Debugging#Debugging_with_Ubuntu_packages | 02:32 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Debugging - MythTV | 02:32 |
| troldrik | auto-builds? | 02:32 |
| mrand | !auto-builds | 02:32 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about auto-builds | 02:32 |
| mrand | !autobuilds | 02:32 |
| Zinn | Auto builds are available for MythTV 0.22 for Intrepid, Jaunty, and Karmic (0.22 and 0.23-trunk). See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info. If you see references to 0.22-trunk, you can ignore the -trunk part :-) | 02:32 |
| mrand | auto-builds = more recent bug fixes | 02:33 |
| maphew | I just fresh installed mythbuntu 8.10 i386, which appeared to work fine, then dist-upgraded. now mythfrontend just shows a black screen | 05:21 |
| maphew | /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log says "Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8" many many times | 05:22 |
| maphew | any idea how I can fix this? thanks | 05:22 |
| maphew | (same error with mythtv setup launched from MCC) | 05:23 |
| maphew | Log grabber results: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/5B38k6QA | 05:26 |
| maphew | hmm, not entirely black, black background with black box in centre (visible 'cause of grey outline) | 05:34 |
| maphew | maybe it's black text on black background? I tried disabling all themes and renabling only official one; no change | 05:35 |
| superm1 | maphew, i would start with a newer fresh install version to be honest | 05:38 |
| superm1 | maphew, but that type of problem is indicative of having fglrx installed and it trying to use radeon | 05:38 |
| superm1 | i dont see references to fglrx in those logs, but double check | 05:39 |
| maphew | how do i determine which driver is being used? none of the menus show video drivers (none that I've found yet anyway) | 05:39 |
| superm1 | that log shows it trying to use radeon | 05:40 |
| superm1 | do this to check for fglrx: | 05:40 |
| superm1 | dpkg -l | grep fglrx | 05:40 |
| maphew | ii fglrx-modaliases 2:8.600-0ubuntu2 Identifiers supported by the ATI graphics dr | 05:40 |
| superm1 | so that means it's not, that's just the modaliases | 05:41 |
| superm1 | so would it be possible for you to start with a newer version of mythbuntu than 8.10? | 05:41 |
| superm1 | like maybe 9.10 or so | 05:41 |
| maphew | yeah. my bandwidth is slow and metered. I was attempting to save $ by upgrading instead of downloading a new iso | 05:42 |
| superm1 | ah | 05:44 |
| superm1 | have you heard of zsync before? | 05:44 |
| maphew | rsync, not zsync | 05:44 |
| superm1 | you can try to binary upgrade the 8.10 ISO into a 9.10 ISO | 05:44 |
| superm1 | so what you can try to do is go make a tmp directory and copy the 8.10 ISO in | 05:45 |
| * maphew reading http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ | 05:46 | |
| superm1 | you need to rename it to mythbuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso and then run "zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/karmic/release/mythbuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.zsync" | 05:46 |
| Zinn | [cdimage.ubuntu.com] | 05:46 |
| superm1 | i've never done it from release to release, but i've used it between dailies over a long period of time - it should work for both i believe | 05:46 |
| maphew | that looks cool, thanks! | 05:49 |
| dewman | anyone using mythexport on .23 trunk? | 15:50 |
| mrand | rhpot1991 should be, if he is around. | 15:52 |
| * rhpot1991 doesn't really run .23 yet | 15:53 | |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: whats up? | 15:53 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, just trying to get it to install. It bugs out on unmet dependencies. Here is what it says.... http://pastebin.com/mYteQBn2 | 15:56 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: are you running karmic or lucid? | 15:57 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, karmic | 15:57 |
| rhpot1991 | thats your issue, you need to enable the testing-ppa | 15:58 |
| rhpot1991 | and it will pull the newest mythexport from there | 15:58 |
| dewman | ahhh... | 15:58 |
| rhpot1991 | ya, things changed in the autobuilds, and the version of mythexport in karmic doesn't match up with them | 15:58 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, ok...That makes sense now. | 15:58 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, voila! Thanks.... =) | 16:02 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: no problem | 16:03 |
| rhpot1991 | hmmm I have a new version I can push over there, I'll do that now | 16:04 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: if you update in a few minutes you should see version: 2.1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1 | 16:06 |
| rhpot1991 | has some ffmpeg fixes and better error reporting when ffmpeg fails | 16:07 |
| dewman | ok, i will hold off doing a test run with it.. | 16:07 |
