| Shadow__X | hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu but gparted isnt seeing my windows partition as the right size | 03:22 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X1: how far is it off? | 04:02 |
| mrand | Shadow__X1: are you sure that it's not just that it uses different units of measurement? | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | magic hard drive estimates are common | 04:04 |
| superm1 | why are you using gparted when installing? | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | 1tb == 8.8779837072132 somethinbyte | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | he may mean the installer step, or doing it by hand up front | 04:04 |
| mrand | there goes superm1 inserting logic | 04:04 |
| superm1 | partman/ubiquity also uses libparted, but there shouldn't be any need to run gparted independently | 04:05 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: I've done a resize ahead of time so I could say use the largest free space I thinks | 04:05 |
| superm1 | you (should) be able to do the same thing in the installer | 04:05 |
| Shadow__X1 | off as in my ntfs partition comes up as 194gb when it really is 230gb | 04:37 |
| Shadow__X1 | superm1: i have used the installer and gparted to verify that its not coming up right | 04:37 |
| Shadow__X1 | and even selecting manual and doing the partitions myself /dev/sda2 which is my ntfs partition comes up as 160gb raw and used is unknown | 04:40 |
| Shadow__X1 | which 160gb is still a ways from 230 | 04:40 |
| mrand | Shadow__X1: my suggestion is to look at start and ending locations (presumably sector numbers) and compare that within Windows and gparted | 04:40 |
| Shadow__X1 | mrand: ok how do i do that | 04:41 |
| Shadow__X1 | mrand: in windows my drive is 230gb and i am able to mount it on the live cd | 04:45 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X1: drive or the partition? | 04:47 |
| Shadow__X1 | sorry partition | 04:47 |
| tgm4883 | you lose about 5GB for every 100, so 160 from 230 is odd | 04:47 |
| Shadow__X1 | tgm4883: what do you mean | 04:48 |
| Shadow__X1 | the partitions in the ubuntu installer are coming up as the incorrect amount | 04:48 |
| Shadow__X1 | my drive is a 320gb drive | 04:48 |
| tgm4883 | a 100GB drive is actually about 95GB | 04:48 |
| tgm4883 | marketing vs engineering | 04:48 |
| Shadow__X1 | a 230gb or so partition for windows | 04:48 |
| Shadow__X1 | and that should leave me roughly with 83gb of space | 04:49 |
| Shadow__X1 | but thats not whats showing up | 04:49 |
| Shadow__X1 | tgm4883: yeah i know i am aware of that 1024 vs 1000 | 04:49 |
| Shadow__X1 | sda2 is coming up as a 160gb partition when in all actuality it is a 230gb partition | 04:50 |
| Shadow__X1 | sorry if i havnt been clear in my explanation | 04:50 |
| Shadow__X1 | its just very odd to me | 04:50 |
| mrand | Shadow__X1: fdisk shows the partition table | 04:50 |
| mrand | You can change units between sectors and cylinders | 04:51 |
| Shadow__X1 | fdisk -l /dev/sda | 04:52 |
| Shadow__X1 | sda 1 boot start 1 end 13 blocks 102400 id 7 system hpfs/ntfs | 04:52 |
| Shadow__X1 | partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary | 04:52 |
| Shadow__X1 | sda2 start 13 end 28047 blocks 225177600 id 7 system hpfs/ntfs | 04:53 |
| superm1 | Shadow__X1, do you have bitlocker on? | 04:53 |
| superm1 | i wonder if that's throwing things off | 04:53 |
| Shadow__X1 | nope | 04:53 |
| Shadow__X1 | and its a fresh install | 04:53 |
| Shadow__X1 | i literally installed windows 7 installed the gpu drivers then went to install ubuntu | 04:54 |
| superm1 | try rebooting into windows once | 04:54 |
| superm1 | i wonder if it's dirty bit | 04:54 |
| superm1 | on ntfs | 04:54 |
| Shadow__X1 | have already done that | 04:54 |
| Shadow__X1 | and i am able to mount the windows partition in ubuntu | 04:54 |
| Shadow__X1 | it comes up under the places menu | 04:54 |
| Shadow__X1 | as 231gb and mounts perfectly | 04:55 |
| rhpot1991 | run checkdisk on it? | 04:55 |
| Shadow__X1 | and i have booted into windows cleanly and shutdown cleanly | 04:55 |
| Shadow__X1 | but i can boot into windows again for the heck of it | 04:55 |
| mrand | I don't know what to say about the two ntfs partitions... Write down the sector and/or cylinder numbers and compare against the ones that fdisk gives you in windows | 04:56 |
| Shadow__X1 | mrand: the first partition if for the bootloader | 05:01 |
| Shadow__X1 | doing ckdisk from windows now | 05:06 |
| mcblack | just for the record | 09:56 |
| mcblack | my problem with automatic shutdown came from the vdr package i've installed | 09:57 |
| mcblack | maybe someone remembers, if some other have a problem with this | 09:57 |
| mcblack | thx @all | 09:57 |
| Jay2k1 | who would install vdr on a myth machine anyway | 10:05 |
| Fudge | whats vdr | 10:31 |
| Jay2k1 | video disk recorder | 11:07 |
| Jay2k1 | it's a very popular pvr software | 11:07 |
| Jay2k1 | afaik it's focused on turning a pc into a "normal" pvr | 11:07 |
| Jay2k1 | which you would buy in a store | 11:08 |
| Jay2k1 | in other words, just pvr, no media center kind of thing like myth is | 11:08 |
| Fudge | do u just have to install mythbuntu-frontened and backend to make it work? | 14:12 |
| mrand | Fudge: What features do you want? | 14:42 |
| Propel | I finally was able to set MythTV to be able and detect my TV Tuner, but it can't detect any channels | 16:28 |
| Propel | Well it can detect 1, 97 and 3**, but it's all scrambled and listed as unknown | 16:28 |

| tgm4883 | is the backend started? | 19:17 |
| piper69 | that is when i try to start the Be | 19:17 |
| tgm4883 | really? the backend shouldn't be trying to find a UPnP... | 19:18 |
| tgm4883 | how are you starting the backend? | 19:18 |
| tgm4883 | and what version of mythtv/mythbuntu | 19:18 |
| piper69 | before the update it use to start by it self ,whenever i reboot ... | 19:18 |
| piper69 | and now i go to menu and settings then BE setup | 19:19 |

| tgm4883 | is mysql started? | 19:27 |
| piper69 | i didn't check , but it should be i just booted | 19:27 |
| piper69 | how can i check please | 19:28 |
| tgm4883 | service mysql status | 19:28 |
| tgm4883 | it might be mysqld | 19:28 |
| piper69 | can i just do /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 19:30 |
| tgm4883 | sure | 19:30 |
| piper69 | install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/var/run/mysqld': No such file or directory | 19:31 |
| piper69 | mybe i should sudo | 19:31 |
| piper69 | i pm'd u | 19:32 |
| piper69 | * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables. | 19:33 |
| rhpot1991 | don't pm stuff, other people may be paying attention to try to help or look for a solution :) | 19:34 |
| piper69 | restart seem to have fixed it | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | restarting mysql or the whole box? | 19:34 |
| piper69 | mysql | 19:35 |
| piper69 | its running mythfilldatabase now | 19:37 |
| piper69 | while it is doing this, i have another different issue with mythbuntu | 19:38 |
| piper69 | before the update, and right after i config'd it ...i ve only been using myth for about a month....it will be on the main screen and it freez i can'tdo anything except powerit down | 19:39 |
| rhpot1991 | piper69: did you try to plug a keyboard in and see if you can still control it then | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | or vnc in and try that | 19:40 |
| rhpot1991 | eliminate your remote (assuming you are using one) | 19:40 |
| tgm4883 | does it respond to ping | 19:40 |
| piper69 | rhpot1991: hahahha "Remote" i have been trying to get my remote to work for a whole month since i start mythtv project i couldn't get it to work ...so i wam using a keyboard | 19:42 |
| piper69 | my card is hauppage hvr-1600 | 19:42 |
| piper69 | i tried lirc from pkg to compiling it from source | 19:42 |
| piper69 | can not get it to work right | 19:43 |
| rhpot1991 | see if you can ping it, or use ctrl+alt+F<pick a number> and see if you can get it to switch to a console | 19:44 |
| piper69 | tried that too | 19:45 |
| piper69 | now i will reboot to see it mysql will start | 19:46 |
| Shadow__X | hey superm1 are you around i am using the broadcom sta driver in ubuntu 10.04 and at times it will hit n speeds and others it will barely do g speeds | 20:01 |
| tgm4883 | Shadow__X, that doesn't seem like a mythtv question | 20:02 |
| Shadow__X | due to that instability i cant stream mythtv | 20:03 |
| tgm4883 | there you go | 20:03 |
| Shadow__X | bam now its mythtv related | 20:03 |
| superm1 | haha | 20:03 |
| superm1 | well the best you can do is mail broadcom | 20:03 |
| superm1 | i mean i dont think there are many knobs on the driver to tweak | 20:04 |
| Shadow__X | and tell them to get to their act together? | 20:04 |
| Shadow__X | i just dont understand while testing a file transfer it will get from 7.9MB/sec down to 800KB/sec | 20:04 |
| Shadow__X | all within secounds | 20:04 |
| mrand | mail broadcom? ha! good luck with that. I have multiple direct FAE contacts and I can't even get my questions answered. | 20:14 |
| mrand | snail mail, maybe. To the CEO. | 20:14 |
| superm1 | mrand, if anyone though, they're the most likely to be able to help, i mean they do have the source | 20:18 |
| mrand | I guess I can't disagree with that statement. | 20:19 |
| mrand | And the people supporting that are not the same people supporting me. | 20:19 |
| mrand | Might as well try... don't have anything to lose! | 20:19 |
| rhpot1991 | buy a new card | 20:44 |
| rhpot1991 | replace your motherboard, the rhpot1991 solution! | 20:44 |
| superm1 | the rhpot1991 solution is to complain to the manufacturer that it's a hardware problem i thought (even though ti might be sftware) ;) | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: I'm pretty sure it was hardware most of the time | 20:52 |
| rhpot1991 | and even was the motherboard a few times | 20:52 |
| superm1 | yeah sure sure | 20:53 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: I'll make sure I tell you my router is broken come sunday | 20:54 |
| superm1 | rhpot1991, you mean when you have a hard time flashing openwrt? must be routers fault. | 20:55 |
| superm1 | lol | 20:55 |
| rhpot1991 | heh yep | 20:55 |
| piper69 | got my mythbuntu fixed yayayyyy | 22:25 |
| piper69 | thank you all | 22:25 |
| Ratok | hello everyone, I am getting an error connected to a database error | 22:38 |
| Ratok | my .mythtv/config.xml is empty after a restart which was caused by a backend hangup | 22:46 |
| piper69 | is your mysql running | 22:46 |
| piper69 | [R] you think 775 will be a good permission for videos please | 22:47 |
| Ratok | i think the hangup filled my first hdd | 23:04 |
| Ratok | hence no disk space was available | 23:04 |
| piper69 | btw anyone here? | 23:06 |
| piper69 | i see all these people here but barely someone answers | 23:06 |
| rhpot1991 | Ratok: I'd venture the other way around, you filled the HD and then the db shut down | 23:09 |
| rhpot1991 | !ask piper69 | 23:10 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about ask piper69 | 23:10 |
| rhpot1991 | !ask | piper69 | 23:10 |
| Zinn | piper69: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. | 23:10 |
| piper69 | for the past week i have been here asking question and no one replies to me | 23:11 |
| rhpot1991 | !forums | piper69 | 23:11 |
| Zinn | piper69: The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. | 23:11 |
| rhpot1991 | depends on the question and who is paying attention | 23:12 |
| piper69 | its okay the folks over mythtv-users are doing a perfect job supporting me ;) | 23:12 |
| rhpot1991 | piper69: thats the best place to go for general mythtv questions if you aren't getting help here | 23:13 |
| rhpot1991 | they like to send you over here if its something mythbuntu specific | 23:13 |
| piper69 | thanks for the tip thu, i already did! ;) | 23:14 |
| piper69 | ok | 23:15 |
| piper69 | so can someone here please help me with themoviedb.org perl script i am getting this error "2010-06-11 14:56:22.698 Unable to contact themoviedb.org while retrieving movie list, stopped at /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl line 329. | 23:16 |
| Zinn | [themoviedb.org] TMDb — The open movie database | 23:16 |
| piper69 | TMDB API | 23:16 |
| mrand | piper69: do you have reason to believe the error message is incorrect (that it is having network type trouble contacting TMDB)? | 23:27 |
| piper69 | mrand: i am not sure what you are asking | 23:30 |
| piper69 | i am able to browse the internet fine | 23:30 |
| piper69 | is there is some kind of settings i need to setup in FE or BE | 23:32 |
| mrand | no, there shouldn't be. I guess you're saying that you can browse tmdb just fine? | 23:36 |
| piper69 | yes | 23:38 |
| piper69 | does it grab it from from the title or the filename | 23:39 |
| mrand | it converts the filename into a query string | 23:41 |
| mrand | from the looks of the script. | 23:41 |
| piper69 | so what is the problem that i can't get any movie db | 23:44 |
| Fudge | mrand sry i went to bed before seeing ur msg | 23:44 |
| mrand | piper69: I don't know what to say beyond what the message says. You can ask in #Mythtv-users, but I don't know that I'd hope for a much different answer. | 23:50 |
| piper69 | how do i know my current mythbuntu relase n how to upgrade it | 23:50 |
| mrand | piper69: lots of ways.... synaptic is one. | 23:51 |
| mrand | apt-cache policy mythtv-frontend is another. | 23:51 |
