[00:53] i need someone familiar with modelines and running 1080 through a tv. i will supply Xorg.0.log if needed [01:00] 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] brb going to try new modeline. [01:41] 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] troldrik: can you raise a bug, and state what you upgraded from, please. [01:51] on launchpad? [02:03] hmm.. seems it was insisting on a .22 mythtv-common package. [02:03] trying a nuke and install. [02:05] fixed it. [02:23] troldrik, in the future, can you please file a bug before you nuke it if you encounter problems like that? [02:23] it's the only way we can normally fix those kinds of things [02:24] well I figured since I've been using a third party source for .22 it wouldn't be of that much use. [02:26] whats the worse that could happen if my modelines are off in my xorg.conf could it fry my gpu? [02:26] just the display device. [02:27] though... it'd have to be pretty old. [02:27] 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] troldrik, no, its recent, vx37l [02:28] troldrik, wooo, sigh of relief [02:28] 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] so just FYI in the future :) [02:29] we're not as strict as other ubuntu packages in that sense [02:29] k. [02:29] 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] fails on a QList assert... smells like a code bug. [02:32] 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] [www.mythtv.org] Debugging - MythTV [02:32] auto-builds? [02:32] !auto-builds [02:32] Sorry I don't know about auto-builds [02:32] !autobuilds [02:32] 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] auto-builds = more recent bug fixes [05:21] 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] /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log says "Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8" many many times [05:22] any idea how I can fix this? thanks [05:23] (same error with mythtv setup launched from MCC) [05:26] Log grabber results: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/5B38k6QA [05:34] hmm, not entirely black, black background with black box in centre (visible 'cause of grey outline) [05:35] maybe it's black text on black background? I tried disabling all themes and renabling only official one; no change [05:38] maphew, i would start with a newer fresh install version to be honest [05:38] maphew, but that type of problem is indicative of having fglrx installed and it trying to use radeon [05:39] i dont see references to fglrx in those logs, but double check [05:39] 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] that log shows it trying to use radeon [05:40] do this to check for fglrx: [05:40] dpkg -l | grep fglrx [05:40] ii fglrx-modaliases 2:8.600-0ubuntu2 Identifiers supported by the ATI graphics dr [05:41] so that means it's not, that's just the modaliases [05:41] so would it be possible for you to start with a newer version of mythbuntu than 8.10? [05:41] like maybe 9.10 or so [05:42] yeah. my bandwidth is slow and metered. I was attempting to save $ by upgrading instead of downloading a new iso [05:44] ah [05:44] have you heard of zsync before? [05:44] rsync, not zsync [05:44] you can try to binary upgrade the 8.10 ISO into a 9.10 ISO [05:45] 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] 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] [cdimage.ubuntu.com] [05:46] 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] that looks cool, thanks! [15:50] anyone using mythexport on .23 trunk? [15:52] rhpot1991 should be, if he is around. [15:53] * rhpot1991 doesn't really run .23 yet [15:53] dewman: whats up? [15:56] 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] dewman: are you running karmic or lucid? [15:57] rhpot1991, karmic [15:58] thats your issue, you need to enable the testing-ppa [15:58] and it will pull the newest mythexport from there [15:58] ahhh... [15:58] ya, things changed in the autobuilds, and the version of mythexport in karmic doesn't match up with them [15:58] rhpot1991, ok...That makes sense now. [16:02] rhpot1991, voila! Thanks.... =) [16:03] dewman: no problem [16:04] hmmm I have a new version I can push over there, I'll do that now [16:06] dewman: if you update in a few minutes you should see version: 2.1.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1 [16:07] has some ffmpeg fixes and better error reporting when ffmpeg fails [16:07] ok, i will hold off doing a test run with it..
