[00:53] <mdisieno> i need someone familiar with modelines and running 1080 through a tv. i will supply Xorg.0.log if needed
[01:00] <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.
[01:05] <mdisieno> brb going to try new modeline.
[01:41] <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
[01:48] <Daviey> troldrik: can you raise a bug, and state what you upgraded from, please.
[01:51] <troldrik> on launchpad?
[02:03] <troldrik> hmm.. seems it was insisting on a .22 mythtv-common package.
[02:03] <troldrik> trying a nuke and install.
[02:05] <troldrik> fixed it.
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <troldrik> well I figured since I've been using a third party source for .22 it wouldn't be of that much use.
[02:26] <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.
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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 :)
[02:29] <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.
[02:32] <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] <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 :-)
[02:33] <mrand> auto-builds = more recent bug fixes
[05:21] <maphew> I just fresh installed mythbuntu 8.10 i386, which appeared to work fine, then dist-upgraded. now mythfrontend just shows a black screen
[05:22] <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
[05:23] <maphew> (same error with mythtv setup launched from MCC)
[05:26] <maphew> Log grabber results: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/5B38k6QA
[05:34] <maphew> hmm, not entirely black, black background with black box in centre (visible 'cause of grey outline)
[05:35] <maphew> maybe it's black text on black background? I tried disabling all themes and renabling only official one; no change
[05:38] <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
[05:39] <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)
[05:40] <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
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <maphew> yeah. my bandwidth is slow and metered. I was attempting to save $ by upgrading instead of downloading a new iso
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <superm1> so what you can try to do is go make a tmp directory and copy the 8.10 ISO in
[05:46]  * 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
[05:49] <maphew> that looks cool, thanks!
[15:50] <dewman> anyone using mythexport on .23 trunk?
[15:52] <mrand> rhpot1991 should be, if he is around.
[15:53]  * rhpot1991 doesn't really run .23 yet
[15:53] <rhpot1991> dewman: whats up?
[15:56] <dewman> rhpot1991, just trying to get it to install. It bugs out on unmet dependencies. Here is what it says.... http://pastebin.com/mYteQBn2
[15:57] <rhpot1991> dewman: are you running karmic or lucid?
[15:57] <dewman> rhpot1991, karmic
[15:58] <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.
[16:02] <dewman> rhpot1991, voila! Thanks.... =)
[16:03] <rhpot1991> dewman: no problem
[16:04] <rhpot1991> hmmm I have a new version I can push over there, I'll do that now
[16:06] <rhpot1991> dewman: if you update in a few minutes you should see version:  	 2.1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1
[16:07] <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..
