[00:11] * tgm4883 shrugs [00:11] I don't use them [00:11] some part of mythvideo though [03:22] hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu but gparted isnt seeing my windows partition as the right size [04:02] Shadow__X1: how far is it off? [04:03] Shadow__X1: are you sure that it's not just that it uses different units of measurement? [04:04] magic hard drive estimates are common [04:04] why are you using gparted when installing? [04:04] 1tb == 8.8779837072132 somethinbyte [04:04] he may mean the installer step, or doing it by hand up front [04:04] there goes superm1 inserting logic [04:05] partman/ubiquity also uses libparted, but there shouldn't be any need to run gparted independently [04:05] superm1: I've done a resize ahead of time so I could say use the largest free space I thinks [04:05] you (should) be able to do the same thing in the installer [04:37] off as in my ntfs partition comes up as 194gb when it really is 230gb [04:37] superm1: i have used the installer and gparted to verify that its not coming up right [04:40] 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] which 160gb is still a ways from 230 [04:40] Shadow__X1: my suggestion is to look at start and ending locations (presumably sector numbers) and compare that within Windows and gparted [04:41] mrand: ok how do i do that [04:45] mrand: in windows my drive is 230gb and i am able to mount it on the live cd [04:47] Shadow__X1: drive or the partition? [04:47] sorry partition [04:47] you lose about 5GB for every 100, so 160 from 230 is odd [04:48] tgm4883: what do you mean [04:48] the partitions in the ubuntu installer are coming up as the incorrect amount [04:48] my drive is a 320gb drive [04:48] a 100GB drive is actually about 95GB [04:48] marketing vs engineering [04:48] a 230gb or so partition for windows [04:49] and that should leave me roughly with 83gb of space [04:49] but thats not whats showing up [04:49] tgm4883: yeah i know i am aware of that 1024 vs 1000 [04:50] sda2 is coming up as a 160gb partition when in all actuality it is a 230gb partition [04:50] sorry if i havnt been clear in my explanation [04:50] its just very odd to me [04:50] Shadow__X1: fdisk shows the partition table [04:51] You can change units between sectors and cylinders [04:52] fdisk -l /dev/sda [04:52] sda 1 boot start 1 end 13 blocks 102400 id 7 system hpfs/ntfs [04:52] partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary [04:53] sda2 start 13 end 28047 blocks 225177600 id 7 system hpfs/ntfs [04:53] Shadow__X1, do you have bitlocker on? [04:53] i wonder if that's throwing things off [04:53] nope [04:53] and its a fresh install [04:54] i literally installed windows 7 installed the gpu drivers then went to install ubuntu [04:54] try rebooting into windows once [04:54] i wonder if it's dirty bit [04:54] on ntfs [04:54] have already done that [04:54] and i am able to mount the windows partition in ubuntu [04:54] it comes up under the places menu [04:55] as 231gb and mounts perfectly [04:55] run checkdisk on it? [04:55] and i have booted into windows cleanly and shutdown cleanly [04:55] but i can boot into windows again for the heck of it [04:56] 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 [05:01] mrand: the first partition if for the bootloader [05:06] doing ckdisk from windows now [09:56] just for the record [09:57] my problem with automatic shutdown came from the vdr package i've installed [09:57] maybe someone remembers, if some other have a problem with this [09:57] thx @all [10:05] who would install vdr on a myth machine anyway [10:31] whats vdr [11:07] video disk recorder [11:07] it's a very popular pvr software [11:07] afaik it's focused on turning a pc into a "normal" pvr [11:08] which you would buy in a store [11:08] in other words, just pvr, no media center kind of thing like myth is [14:12] do u just have to install mythbuntu-frontened and backend to make it work? [14:42] Fudge: What features do you want? [16:28] I finally was able to set MythTV to be able and detect my TV Tuner, but it can't detect any channels [16:28] Well it can detect 1, 97 and 3**, but it's all scrambled and listed as unknown [16:29] I'm trying to setup my analog cable [17:20] !help [17:20] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [19:16] howdy folks [19:16] after i did an update on my system, mythtv crashed [19:16] whenever i start mythtv now , i say "No UPnP backend found" [19:17] is the backend started? [19:17] that is when i try to start the Be [19:18] really? the backend shouldn't be trying to find a UPnP... [19:18] how are you starting the backend? [19:18] and what version of mythtv/mythbuntu [19:18] before the update it use to start by it self ,whenever i reboot ... [19:19] and now i go to menu and settings then BE setup [19:19] am running mythbunu how do i know the version [19:20] this is my ubuntu 2.6.31-22-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 27 02:41:03 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [19:24] lsb_release -a [19:24] 9.10 [19:25] dpkg -l mythtv [19:25] rather [19:25] dpkg -l mythtv-backend [19:25] mythtv-backend 0.22.0+fixes22 [19:27] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [19:27] is mysql started? [19:27] i didn't check , but it should be i just booted [19:28] how can i check please [19:28] service mysql status [19:28] it might be mysqld [19:30] can i just do /etc/init.d/mysql restart [19:30] sure [19:31] install: cannot change owner and permissions of `/var/run/mysqld': No such file or directory [19:31] mybe i should sudo [19:32] i pm'd u [19:33] * Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables. [19:34] don't pm stuff, other people may be paying attention to try to help or look for a solution :) [19:34] restart seem to have fixed it [19:34] restarting mysql or the whole box? [19:35] mysql [19:37] its running mythfilldatabase now [19:38] while it is doing this, i have another different issue with mythbuntu [19:39] 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 [19:40] piper69: did you try to plug a keyboard in and see if you can still control it then [19:40] or vnc in and try that [19:40] eliminate your remote (assuming you are using one) [19:40] does it respond to ping [19:42] 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] my card is hauppage hvr-1600 [19:42] i tried lirc from pkg to compiling it from source [19:43] can not get it to work right [19:44] see if you can ping it, or use ctrl+alt+F and see if you can get it to switch to a console [19:45] tried that too [19:46] now i will reboot to see it mysql will start [20:01] 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 [20:02] Shadow__X, that doesn't seem like a mythtv question [20:03] due to that instability i cant stream mythtv [20:03] there you go [20:03] bam now its mythtv related [20:03] haha [20:03] well the best you can do is mail broadcom [20:04] i mean i dont think there are many knobs on the driver to tweak [20:04] and tell them to get to their act together? [20:04] i just dont understand while testing a file transfer it will get from 7.9MB/sec down to 800KB/sec [20:04] all within secounds [20:14] mail broadcom? ha! good luck with that. I have multiple direct FAE contacts and I can't even get my questions answered. [20:14] snail mail, maybe. To the CEO. [20:18] mrand, if anyone though, they're the most likely to be able to help, i mean they do have the source [20:19] I guess I can't disagree with that statement. [20:19] And the people supporting that are not the same people supporting me. [20:19] Might as well try... don't have anything to lose! [20:44] buy a new card [20:44] replace your motherboard, the rhpot1991 solution! [20:52] 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] superm1: I'm pretty sure it was hardware most of the time [20:52] and even was the motherboard a few times [20:53] yeah sure sure [20:54] superm1: I'll make sure I tell you my router is broken come sunday [20:55] rhpot1991, you mean when you have a hard time flashing openwrt? must be routers fault. [20:55] lol [20:55] heh yep [22:25] got my mythbuntu fixed yayayyyy [22:25] thank you all [22:38] hello everyone, I am getting an error connected to a database error [22:46] my .mythtv/config.xml is empty after a restart which was caused by a backend hangup [22:46] is your mysql running [22:47] [R] you think 775 will be a good permission for videos please [23:04] i think the hangup filled my first hdd [23:04] hence no disk space was available [23:06] btw anyone here? [23:06] i see all these people here but barely someone answers [23:09] Ratok: I'd venture the other way around, you filled the HD and then the db shut down [23:10] !ask piper69 [23:10] Sorry I don't know about ask piper69 [23:10] !ask | piper69 [23:10] 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. [23:11] for the past week i have been here asking question and no one replies to me [23:11] !forums | piper69 [23:11] 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. [23:12] depends on the question and who is paying attention [23:12] its okay the folks over mythtv-users are doing a perfect job supporting me ;) [23:13] piper69: thats the best place to go for general mythtv questions if you aren't getting help here [23:13] they like to send you over here if its something mythbuntu specific [23:14] thanks for the tip thu, i already did! ;) [23:15] ok [23:16] 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] [themoviedb.org] TMDb — The open movie database [23:16] TMDB API [23:27] piper69: do you have reason to believe the error message is incorrect (that it is having network type trouble contacting TMDB)? [23:30] mrand: i am not sure what you are asking [23:30] i am able to browse the internet fine [23:32] is there is some kind of settings i need to setup in FE or BE [23:36] no, there shouldn't be. I guess you're saying that you can browse tmdb just fine? [23:38] yes [23:39] does it grab it from from the title or the filename [23:41] it converts the filename into a query string [23:41] from the looks of the script. [23:44] so what is the problem that i can't get any movie db [23:44] mrand sry i went to bed before seeing ur msg [23:50] 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] how do i know my current mythbuntu relase n how to upgrade it [23:51] piper69: lots of ways.... synaptic is one. [23:51] apt-cache policy mythtv-frontend is another.
