[02:00] <ak74> I am new to Linux and Mythtv.  I have installed mythbuntu and need help with hauppauge wintv-pvr-500
[11:07] <tasankovasa> greetings all...
[11:08] <tasankovasa> some relatively noobie questions have arisen, anyone have an ear to borrow?
[19:29] <Bezzeb> Hi Mythbuntu gurus, I have a question related to how to find a good software developer with experience developing what could in essence be a Mythbuntu media appliance.  My company is currently designing what is in essence a set top box which plays a custom streaming video feed.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance for your time, Zeb
[19:30] <st8ofmi9d> I'm trying to get diskless boot to work with Mythbuntu 9.04. I got started but as far as I get in the boot process is the Ubuntu circle logo. How do I find out what it's handing up on? I posted more details in the forums a couple of days ago but no response yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462776

[20:03] <tgm4883> Bezzeb, what are you trying to do?
[20:06] <Bezzeb> Hey tgm4883, we have a video streaming product that is currently web based and we are currently developing an appliance.  We have some good programmers on the team, but none of them have experience with the nuances involved with developing a sealed appliance.
[20:07] <tgm4883> hmm
[20:07] <Bezzeb> So we just let our linux admin member of the team.  We learned from him that we don't know enough about the tricks required to seal up an appliance, develop update systems, and get everything tidy for mass production.
[20:08] <Bezzeb> And I'm here at Mythbuntu as it's our leading OS/Media rendering platform which we are considering.
[20:08] <Bezzeb> :)
[20:10] <tgm4883> Bezzeb, I see
[20:11] <Bezzeb> Indeed - any tip to find a guy with "the right stuff" to help us get this product (esentially an IPTV set top box)
[20:12] <Bezzeb> would be much appreciated.
[20:30] <tgm4883> Bezzeb, it sounds like you are looking for some backend distribution management then?
[20:47] <Bezzeb> Not sure what you mean by backend distribution, can you clarify?  Our video streaming product is currently online with paid customers.  We now need to package this into a compact stable appliance which to end users is just a magical set top box.  As we have learned, there are some nuances to this which we are trying to branch out and find someone with direct experience to help solve.
[20:49] <tgm4883> And you want the boxes to automatically update then?
[20:49] <Bezzeb> Achieving a compact OS with just the libraries we need, ensuring stability, understanding the trade-offs of which system update method to use, and being familiar with sealing the system up to avoid end user tampering and confine them to our developed GUI environment (think tivo).
[20:49] <tgm4883> I see
[20:49] <tgm4883> and you are using mythtv for this?
[20:49] <Bezzeb> Well from the backend we need to be able to manage updates yes.  We've been considering full image updates to avoid some of the reliability and testing challenges of incrementals.
[20:51] <Bezzeb> We currently only have a working backend and middle ware "brain" which is hardware independant but does all the backend secure login and video stream acquisition stuff.  Our software model has a hardware layer interface which is currently unwritten for lack of experienced guidance.
[20:51] <Bezzeb> Myth TV is a promising candidate for rendering the video and developing a GUI in.
[20:57] <Bezzeb> In the perfect world - I'd be able to hire one of the MythTV developers who helped package the Mythbuntu live CD distribution...  I suspect that our challenges which have been killing us just would not be difficult to solve to someone with the right background....
[21:00] <Bezzeb> I'm very sorry to do this but I must leave my computer until tomorrow, but I'll leave my IRC running and check the history in the AM.  Thanks much for your time tgm4883!   If anybody on this channel can point me in the right direction to hire the right guy - I'd be eternally grateful!  Think Boxee - or Tivo, this is what we are building.
[21:00] <Bezzeb> afk
[22:37] <st8ofmi9d> I figured out what I was doing wrong with the diskless boot. Now I'm running but when I go to start MythTV frontend I see the main screen and then it exits. I don't see any errors on the screen.
[23:03] <tgm4883> st8ofmi9d, logs?
[23:06] <st8ofmi9d> tgm4883: Where do I find thouse? sorry I'm a newbie.
[23:07] <tgm4883> !logs | st8ofmi9d
[23:07] <Zinn> st8ofmi9d: MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/   You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin.
[23:07] <tgm4883> hmm
[23:07] <tgm4883> st8ofmi9d, actually, can you pastebin /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
[23:07] <tgm4883> !pastebin
[23:07] <Zinn> when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.
[23:08] <st8ofmi9d> type
[23:08] <st8ofmi9d> sorry
[23:10] <st8ofmi9d> tgm4883: no mythfrontend.log file. Just a jamu.log
[23:10] <tgm4883> ok
[23:10] <tgm4883> then open up a terminal and start mythfrontend from there
[23:11] <tgm4883> that should give you some errors
[23:11] <tgm4883> I would pastebin everything after you start mythfrontend
[23:21] <st8ofmi9d> I don't have a browser on the diskless machine. I get an error unable to run with invalid time settings
[23:26] <st8ofmi9d> It says that "Current time on the master time
[23:27] <st8ofmi9d> It says that "Current time on the master backend differs from the time on this system." So I'll try to asjust tahat
[23:28] <st8ofmi9d> I just don't know where
[23:34] <st8ofmi9d> I figured it out. I needed to do date and tzselect
[23:34] <st8ofmi9d> Thank you!
[23:56] <tgm4883> st8ofmi9d, your welcome
