[00:50] <jthundley> mythbuntu.org seems to be down. anyone have a download link or torrent?
[01:18] <chuckf> I ran an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 last night. Now I cannot get the mythfrontend to run. It is failing at a point where it tries to mount /dev/sdb. However during the upgrade /dev/sdb became /dev/sda. I cannot figure out where to change this in any config files. I am likely missing the right spot to make the change. Any help is appreciated
[01:19] <chuckf> I can pastebin more/all of the startup messages but I belive the missing /dev/sdb is the core of the issue from what I'm seeing
[02:14] <jthundley> chuckf: now that's something easy I can actually help you fix
[02:15] <jthundley> I upgraded and it broke my remote so I'm reinstalling :(
[02:15] <jthundley> anyway, you want to edit /etc/fstab
[02:15] <jthundley> this file tells your system which device files are to be mounted on the filesystem and where
[02:15] <jthundley> these device filenames can change between big upgrades like that
[02:16] <jthundley> in fact, my dvdrom drives got swapped
[02:16] <jthundley> so all you have to do is change /dev/sdb to /dev/sda in /etc/fstab
[02:16] <jthundley> and I've had this happen to me before, there's actually a better method for this kind of thing
[02:16] <jthundley> each hard drive has a unique ID
[02:17] <jthundley> you can tell linux to mount a certain hard drive at a mountpoint using the unique ID so that if the devices ever change for whatever reason the correct drive will always be mounted
[02:17] <jthundley> are you interested in doing that?
[02:25] <chuckf> jthundley: I checked the fstab file and it is already using the uuid and indicating that it was /dev/sda1 during install. There is no reference to /dev/sdb at all
[02:26] <jthundley> oh, I thought you said that /dev/sdb became /dev/sda on your system
[02:26] <jthundley> so your fstab is already using UUIDs, eh?
[02:26] <jthundley> I'd play around with that file, that's definitely what controls mounting and stuff
[02:27] <chuckf> well before the upgrade the drive was /dev/sdb when I checked mount points and such. After the upgrade it was /dev/sda
[02:27] <jthundley> the actual drive in the system
[02:27] <jthundley> not in fstab
[02:27] <chuckf> correct
[02:27] <jthundley> ok
[02:27] <jthundley> and there's no mention of either in fstab because it's using all UUID's
[02:28] <chuckf> I've done some more checking and found that this may be the result of mediamonitor. If I can figure out how to disable and/or configure that it might fix the issues
[02:28] <jthundley> maybe, I don't know what that is
[02:28] <jthundley> if your fstab is already using UUIDs it won't screw up mounting like this
[02:28] <chuckf> in the fstab there is a commented out line before the line with the UUID that says '# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation'
[02:29] <jthundley> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID
[02:29] <Zinn> [help.ubuntu.com] UsingUUID - Community Ubuntu Documentation
[02:30] <jthundley> this is a good page that'll show you the commands to get UUIDs and such

[05:30] <puff> tgm4883: hey there...
[15:57] <tgm4883> puff, yes?
[16:26] <Keithamus> Anyone on LTSP Lucid with nvidia drivers?
[21:04] <RobertLaptop> I am having nothing but lirc problems with the lastest version.  Is lirc_cmdir included with 10.04 and how do you install it?
[23:34] <Rob_Z> when 9.10 came out, there was issues with some haupaggue remote controls no longer working because of i2c compoenents removed from the kernel, has this been addressed in 10.04? I wouldn't mind upgrading, but not having a working remote and having to recompile kernel modules and things were a little annoying
[23:44] <mrand> 9.10 unsure.  Have a spare partition or HD to try it out on?  The lirc version is the same between the two, but the kernel might contain a few other fixes.  Hopefully new lirc version coming for 10.10.
[23:44] <mrand> s/9.10/Rob_Z/
[23:48] <Rob_Z> spare hrd drives yes, time to do it not sure, maybe next week
[23:48] <Rob_Z> i just remember talking to the lirc guy, and he stated it was i2c things yanked from the kernel, i'll poke around
[23:57] <puff> tgm4883: So, you were saying the other day that, depending on my set-top box, I might not need a cable card.  YOu asked me what the back of my box looked like.  See darksleep.com/puff/dvr
[23:57] <Zinn> [darksleep.com]
[23:58] <puff> tgm4883: I think you were asking about composite out, it appears to have composite out.
[23:58] <puff> tgm4883: Er, component out, that is.
[23:58] <puff> Or, if anybody else wants to chime in here... :-).
[23:58] <mrand> duckface
[23:58] <mrand> ops
[23:59] <puff> Basically I'm trying to figure out what video card to get, and also I was whining about comcast encryption and wondering if I should pay for the comcast DVR option.
[23:59] <puff> When tgm4883 said, if my box has component out, I might not need to.
