| qclibre | hi all, love mythbuntu 10.4, thanks. However, a little problem - getting a segfault when entering a dvd, have run all updates - anyone seen anything similar? | 03:14 |
|---|---|---|
| mrand | qclibre: yep... sounds like are running an older revision (there is an update available in auto-builds that is newer than 10.04 which contains many, many bug fixes). | 03:15 |
| mrand | Having said that, there is something that needs to be fixed in it... I think it is supposed to be building now. | 03:15 |
| mrand | Yeah, it got built 2 hours ago, so hopefully it should be good to go. | 03:16 |
| rhpot1991 | "entering a dvd" == playing a dvd? | 03:18 |
| mrand | inserting, I'm sure. It's a known problem with the 10.04 release | 03:19 |
| qclibre | turns out I lied, really sorry - I ran the updates but had been careless, a restarting the app after updates have finished seems to behave much better. | 03:22 |
| mrand | qclibre: no problem. | 03:23 |
| qclibre | out of interest, before I figure this out for myself (!:-)) .. I have a backend I'm putting in the cupboard which has the cable signal and the tv capture, but I have a frontend that I intend to use in the lounge, and will probably put the package on my (conventional) ubuntu workstation in the office too. If I want them all to share the same music, videos, [etc], should I just samba-mount the backend's directories onto the front-end ones? | 03:25 |
| rhpot1991 | qclibre: if you don't need windows, then use nfs to share them | 03:30 |
| rhpot1991 | same end results, but more efficient in a linux only world | 03:30 |
| mrand | you can actually enable both, of course. | 03:30 |
| rhpot1991 | yep that too | 03:31 |
| qclibre | the missus has windows. More specifically, and worse, she has *vista*. I know. So samba is obligatory anyway. So if I just mount the server's directories into the various /var/lib paths that the front-ends use, that should "Just Work(tm)"? | 03:33 |
| Pwen | qclibre: My /var/lib/mythtv/videos directory is actually a mount on my NAS. so when winblows clients grab stuff off there, it's actualyl coming off the nas. convoluted, but it works | 04:58 |
| qclibre | pwen: cool, thanks. Any issues with doing the same for music? My concern is when ripping dvds or cds on a front-end, I'd like them to store direct to the server-side, figured there might be some kind of locking/sharing complication with that. If your NAS share was replaced with a mount to another mythtv box's /var/lib/mythtv/videos, would you expect any issues? (Eg. if other mythtvs are looking at the same dir?) | 05:07 |

| mcastles | is there a way to turn off the back button (looks like a reload button) in mythvideo's gallery view? | 13:39 |
| st8ofmi9d | I'm running a MythTV frontend out of the VGA port to a 1366x768 TV. Is that a non-standard resolution that may cause the GPU to work harder and overheat?I apologize if this is someone off-topic, but I don't know where else to ask this question. My Dell Zino's GPU seems to be overheating (or getting warm enough to slow itself down) It's my third unit and they all had the exact same problem when the ambient temperature | 15:06 |
| st8ofmi9d | in the room rose. | 15:06 |
| superm1 | that's a common resolution for TVs | 15:09 |
| superm1 | have you tried using the closed source driver instead of the open source? | 15:09 |
| Jay2k1 | what about buying a better cooling solution? | 15:09 |
| superm1 | the closed source driver has better power management | 15:09 |
| superm1 | that or yes, cooling solutions :) | 15:09 |
| Jay2k1 | additional case fan(s), replace stock cooler etc | 15:09 |
| st8ofmi9d | I will try a closed source driver for the ATI: | 15:09 |
| superm1 | well the zino is a pretty small form factor, so i think modifying it's cooling solutions isn't much of an option | 15:10 |
| st8ofmi9d | I put a floor fan blowing high directly into the unit with the cover off and the problem still happened but just took a few minutes more. | 15:10 |
| superm1 | but you can always put it on a cooling pad or throw a small fan over in that area | 15:10 |
| st8ofmi9d | It was one of those typhoon fans that sound like a plane taking off so i can't see anything else moveing much more ait. | 15:11 |
| st8ofmi9d | air | 15:11 |
| st8ofmi9d | Thank you for the suggestions. Chances are I'll return the unit to Dell (they offered me a refund) but it's just such a nice small (and cheap) unit that I really wanted to get it working. | 15:12 |
| st8ofmi9d | I'm just a little concerned that I'll have a problem with other units and maybe won't find such a nice return plicy. | 15:13 |
| st8ofmi9d | Anyone using the Zotac HD-ID11-U? I'm thinking about getting one of those as a replacement and PXE booting. | 15:15 |
| rhpot1991 | !frontend | st8ofmi9d | 15:15 |
| Zinn | st8ofmi9d: Ion Boxes make a great frontend. http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2 | 15:15 |
| rhpot1991 | I use that | 15:15 |
| st8ofmi9d | rhpot1991: Yes, now I know that IONs are the only way to go in Linux | 15:15 |
