[00:38] <st8ofmi9d> I 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] <st8ofmi9d> name-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.
[00:39] <st8ofmi9d> When 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] <st8ofmi9d> Any thoughts on what I screwed up?

[02:48] <mungewell> Hi 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).
[02:49] <mungewell> ^effect^affect... to keep my english teacher happy ;-)
[02:57] <st8ofmi9d> mungewell: Same for me!
[02:58] <mungewell> just found the settings in the utils/setup page.... seem to work OK.
[06:24] <symptom> are there any scheduled releases for mythbuntu to bring in Lucid?
[12:52] <jng> Anyone else got broken (extremely stuttery, garbled) sound with lucid and hdmi?
[12:52] <jng> sound is ok for playing music, just tv is broken
[12:52] <jng> using a meekat ion
[12:52] <jng> .. worked fine with karmic
[14:02] <st8ofmi9d> I'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 gue
[14:02] <st8ofmi9d> ssing 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?
[16:49] <gbee> Daviey: 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 fixes
[16:50] <Daviey> gbee: It should show up within 12 hours. :)
[16:50] <Daviey> hmm
[16:51] <Daviey> ah, they are manual for 0.22 now.. aren't they
[16:51] <gbee> aye
[16:51] <Daviey> gbee: Okay.. i don't think i'll have time to do it until Monday now (going away for the weekend)
[16:52] <gbee> it'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 stable
[17:09] <Daviey> gbee: oh i agree.. if it's probably going to be the last update, i'll reflect that in the changelog
[17:14] <jng> i'm using 9.10 on meerkat ion as front end.. hdmi sound is badly broken :(
[17:14] <jng> sound ok playing music though, just watching tv
[17:14] <jng> wondering if it is a codec problem
[17:50] <rhpot1991> jng: mine works fine, I'd venture you don't have the passthrough settings correctly
[17:54] <jng> hmm.. interesting
[17:55] <jng> i was just away doing tests
[17:55] <jng> alsa-default sound and using the audio out jack is fine
[17:55] <jng> just hdmi that is sort of there, but really, really choppy
[17:56] <jng> where is this passthrough thing set?
[17:56] <rhpot1991> setup > general > page 3
[17:56] <jng> cheers.. will take a look
[17:56] <jng> thanks
[18:01] <haffe> Hmmm. Do any of you have experience with the core2duo E7200? I'm looking at buildning a really quiet HTPC.
[18:03] <tgm4883> core2duo's are pretty quiet
[18:03] <tgm4883> in fact, most processors are really quiet
[18:03] <haffe> I see.
[18:03] <rhpot1991> haffe: you could go with a backend somewhere and do an ion box for the frontend
[18:03] <rhpot1991> most of those can run fanless and therefor completely silent
[18:03] <tgm4883> The fan on the other hand, can be loud
[18:03] <rhpot1991> and for bonus point you could lose the hard drive
[18:03] <haffe> tgm4883: :)
[18:03] <rhpot1991> !frontend | haffe
[18:03] <Zinn> haffe: Ion Boxes make a great frontend.  http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2
[18:04] <haffe> rhpot1991: Problem is, I live in a one room studio, so I don't have a place to store a backend.
[18:04] <tgm4883> my backend/frontend is pretty quiet
[18:04] <haffe> I'm thinking Core2Duo E7200, and then a Schyte or thermalright and a big 120mm fan.
[18:05] <tgm4883> I ust need to get a fanless video card
[18:05] <haffe> I have a fanless video card.
[18:05] <rhpot1991> ya go fanless video card and a scythe ninja 2 (or mini)
[18:05] <rhpot1991> and you wont hear a thing
[18:05] <haffe> But somehow i doubt a 6200TC will be happy playing 1080
[18:05] <jng> fwiw i have two meekat ion's as frontends
[18:05] <rhpot1991> heck thats how I run my non HTPCs anymore
[18:05] <tgm4883> http://www.mythbuntu.org/developer-hardware
[18:06] <jng> rhpot1991: tried to find the passthrough setting.. no sign in my settings..
[18:06] <haffe> Last time I bought a pc a Thermalright XP120 was the king of the coolers.
[18:06] <haffe> Time flies apparentley.
[18:06] <rhpot1991> jng: its in mythtvfrontend
[18:06] <rhpot1991> not mythtv-setup
[18:07] <jng> right sorry my bad.. i'm talking mythfrontend here..
[18:07] <jng> audio system is 4th page though..
[18:07] <rhpot1991> ok I was close :)
[18:07] <haffe> Now to look at a quiet fan. Is Nexus still king or should I go with noctuna?
[18:08] <rhpot1991> haffe: I use the stock scythe fans
[18:08]  * tgm4883 uses stock as well
[18:08] <jng> haffe: i took the fans out of my ions -- they are just about ok ;)
[18:08] <haffe> Hmmmm.
[18:09] <haffe> My motherboard has this cool 4pin fan outlet. I guess it's PWM.
[18:10] <haffe> Thanks for the help guys.
[18:10] <haffe> Maybe should check the boxed cooler first.
[18:10] <haffe> Might be sufficient.
[18:57] <tgm4883> !release
[18:57] <Zinn> Mythbuntu 10.04 http://www.mythbuntu.org/downloads
[18:58] <gbee> !unrelease
[18:58] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about unrelease
[18:58] <gbee> bah, boring
[18:59] <tgm4883> gbee, no unrelease for you
[21:39] <packet-sent> I 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,,,,,,,,
[22:25] <slaine> hey guys, the age old question, dist-upgrade or not dist-upgrade
[22:27] <slaine> running 9.10 on a Via EPIA box with a Hauppage PVR 500 card
[22:27] <slaine> anyone runnign 10.04 with something similar ?
[23:46] <squish102> will mythbuntu go from 9.04 to 10.04?
[23:47] <rhpot1991> squish102: sure, but I think you need to hop to 9.10 in the process, not certain
[23:47] <rhpot1991> it should follow the same upgrade rules as regular ubuntu
[23:47] <squish102> superstable 9.04, but i think i may be missing some things, so i may risk it... any1 think i'm crazy?
[23:48] <rhpot1991> 10.04 has mythtv 0.23, 9.04 had 0.21, so I say upgrade
[23:48] <rhpot1991> backup your db first just in case
[23:48] <squish102> rhpot1991 ok, is there anything else you think I should backup?
[23:49] <squish102> will it upgrade if it is running on a Volume group?
[23:52] <squish102> another question, does mythtv 0.23 still need videos nfs mounted from remote FE's? or can it stream all types of videos?
