st8ofmi9dI setup diskless boot on the Mythbuntu 9.04. I have it somewhat working using the diskless but now my non-diskless machines are no longer able to connect to the backend. It seems that there is a problem with resolving the backend's hostname. I'm assuming that this happened because I edited /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf. Is that a safe assumption? I want my verizon dsl/router to handle the dns and I have the ip address of the router set as "option doman-00:38
st8ofmi9dname-servers". I can see the hostname when I log into the router, but the only way I can connect to the machine is using the ip address.00:38
st8ofmi9dWhen using the non-diskless machines I can enter the ip address into the hostname but then I get an error that I cannot connect to database as opposed to the cannot ping backend database.00:39
st8ofmi9dAny thoughts on what I screwed up?00:39

mungewellHi all. Playing with Lucid/Mythbuntu. How can I set the master volume. Internal player seems to set it back to 70% when it starts and the volume controls effect PCM volume (not master).02:48
mungewell^effect^affect... to keep my english teacher happy ;-)02:49
st8ofmi9dmungewell: Same for me!02:57
mungewelljust found the settings in the utils/setup page.... seem to work OK.02:58

jngAnyone else got broken (extremely stuttery, garbled) sound with lucid and hdmi?12:52
jngsound is ok for playing music, just tv is broken12:52
jngusing a meekat ion12:52
jng.. worked fine with karmic12:52
st8ofmi9dI'm working on getting diskless boot up and running but before I get that working 100% i need to still be able to boot and use Myth frontend off of a standard disk boot. The problem that I noticed is that after I netboot (which is working but I have some driver issues with my Dell Zino) and I go back to standard disk boot, I can no longer resolve the hostname of my backend. I don't if it's related to trying to machine netbooting or not. I'm gue14:02
st8ofmi9dssing that I'm running two dhcp servers (one on dsl model/router and one on backend) and they are running into each other. Do I need to run a dhcp server on the backend to netboot? If not, how do I disable the dhcp server on teh backend?14:02
gbeeDaviey: if you can manage to squeeze out another 0.22 update that would be fantastic, it would hopefully be the last for that branch but it includes some important memleak fixes16:49
Davieygbee: It should show up within 12 hours. :)16:50
Davieyhmm16:50
Davieyah, they are manual for 0.22 now.. aren't they16:51
gbeeaye16:51
Davieygbee: Okay.. i don't think i'll have time to do it until Monday now (going away for the weekend)16:51
gbeeit's not a huge problem if you can't do it, I'd just like to leave the last packages for 0.22 in the best possible shape so that no-one is forced to upgrade if they find 0.22 to be otherwise stable16:52
Davieygbee: oh i agree.. if it's probably going to be the last update, i'll reflect that in the changelog17:09
jngi'm using 9.10 on meerkat ion as front end.. hdmi sound is badly broken :(17:14
jngsound ok playing music though, just watching tv17:14
jngwondering if it is a codec problem17:14
rhpot1991jng: mine works fine, I'd venture you don't have the passthrough settings correctly17:50
jnghmm.. interesting17:54
jngi was just away doing tests17:55
jngalsa-default sound and using the audio out jack is fine17:55
jngjust hdmi that is sort of there, but really, really choppy17:55
jngwhere is this passthrough thing set?17:56
rhpot1991setup > general > page 317:56
jngcheers.. will take a look17:56
jngthanks17:56
haffeHmmm. Do any of you have experience with the core2duo E7200? I'm looking at buildning a really quiet HTPC.18:01
tgm4883core2duo's are pretty quiet18:03
tgm4883in fact, most processors are really quiet18:03
haffeI see.18:03
rhpot1991haffe: you could go with a backend somewhere and do an ion box for the frontend18:03
rhpot1991most of those can run fanless and therefor completely silent18:03
tgm4883The fan on the other hand, can be loud18:03
rhpot1991and for bonus point you could lose the hard drive18:03
haffetgm4883: :)18:03
rhpot1991!frontend | haffe18:03
Zinnhaffe: Ion Boxes make a great frontend.  http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/218:03
hafferhpot1991: Problem is, I live in a one room studio, so I don't have a place to store a backend.18:04
tgm4883my backend/frontend is pretty quiet18:04
haffeI'm thinking Core2Duo E7200, and then a Schyte or thermalright and a big 120mm fan.18:04
tgm4883I ust need to get a fanless video card18:05
haffeI have a fanless video card.18:05
rhpot1991ya go fanless video card and a scythe ninja 2 (or mini)18:05
rhpot1991and you wont hear a thing18:05
haffeBut somehow i doubt a 6200TC will be happy playing 108018:05
jngfwiw i have two meekat ion's as frontends18:05
rhpot1991heck thats how I run my non HTPCs anymore18:05
tgm4883http://www.mythbuntu.org/developer-hardware18:05
jngrhpot1991: tried to find the passthrough setting.. no sign in my settings..18:06
haffeLast time I bought a pc a Thermalright XP120 was the king of the coolers.18:06
haffeTime flies apparentley.18:06
rhpot1991jng: its in mythtvfrontend18:06
rhpot1991not mythtv-setup18:06
jngright sorry my bad.. i'm talking mythfrontend here..18:07
jngaudio system is 4th page though..18:07
rhpot1991ok I was close :)18:07
haffeNow to look at a quiet fan. Is Nexus still king or should I go with noctuna?18:07
rhpot1991haffe: I use the stock scythe fans18:08
* tgm4883 uses stock as well18:08
jnghaffe: i took the fans out of my ions -- they are just about ok ;)18:08
haffeHmmmm.18:08
haffeMy motherboard has this cool 4pin fan outlet. I guess it's PWM.18:09
haffeThanks for the help guys.18:10
haffeMaybe should check the boxed cooler first.18:10
haffeMight be sufficient.18:10

packet-sentI have a backend which holds all my videos and music and use my other pc as a frontend, in 9.10 music played just fine but since I have done a fresh install 10.4 and mythmusic shows the files but will not play ,yet video plays fine,,,,,,,,21:39
slainehey guys, the age old question, dist-upgrade or not dist-upgrade22:25
slainerunning 9.10 on a Via EPIA box with a Hauppage PVR 500 card22:27
slaineanyone runnign 10.04 with something similar ?22:27
squish102will mythbuntu go from 9.04 to 10.04?23:46
rhpot1991squish102: sure, but I think you need to hop to 9.10 in the process, not certain23:47
rhpot1991it should follow the same upgrade rules as regular ubuntu23:47
squish102superstable 9.04, but i think i may be missing some things, so i may risk it... any1 think i'm crazy?23:47
rhpot199110.04 has mythtv 0.23, 9.04 had 0.21, so I say upgrade23:48
rhpot1991backup your db first just in case23:48
squish102rhpot1991 ok, is there anything else you think I should backup?23:48
squish102will it upgrade if it is running on a Volume group?23:49
squish102another question, does mythtv 0.23 still need videos nfs mounted from remote FE's? or can it stream all types of videos?23:52
