| UbuntuLily | how do I format a hard disk from a Mythbuntu live cd? | 03:04 |
|---|---|---|
| rhpot1991 | UbuntuLily: should be able to launch gparted from the menu | 03:24 |
| rhpot1991 | and the installer will format it along the way | 03:25 |
| theboss | wondering if someone could help me get mythtv working on ubuntu 10.4 | 04:56 |
| rhpot1991 | !ask | theboss | 04:59 |
| Zinn | theboss: 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. | 04:59 |
| theboss | well my problem is this i have the card installed and recognizing on the system and lspci i also was notified by a user in here for the module fix so the card should work now | 05:01 |
| theboss | when i mythtv-setup for whatever reason the card is not there | 05:01 |
| theboss | also is it better to run mytbuntu than mythtv | 05:04 |
| theboss | on top of regular ubuntu 10.04 | 05:04 |
| theboss | i just have the regular install for ubuntu 10.04 but see where i can apt-get in mythbuntu | 05:05 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | so, that card option didn't fix it? | 05:09 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | check to see if /dev/dvb exists | 05:09 |
| theboss | well i removed mythtv | 05:09 |
| theboss | just reinstalled | 05:09 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | /dev/dvb should still exist without mythtv | 05:09 |
| theboss | yes | 05:09 |
| theboss | /dev/dvb is there | 05:10 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | k | 05:10 |
| theboss | i believe my card is functioning | 05:10 |
| theboss | something isnt jiving still though | 05:10 |
| theboss | i reinstalled i start mythtv-setup | 05:10 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | did you select DVB as the device type? | 05:10 |
| theboss | i go to capture cards | 05:10 |
| theboss | yes | 05:10 |
| theboss | it has samsung something or another | 05:10 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | hmm. | 05:10 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | yeah | 05:10 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | that's what mine shows up as. | 05:10 |
| theboss | what else should i try to do there in setting up the capture card | 05:11 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | but I can only get a few station that don't work because my antenna is apparently crap. | 05:11 |
| theboss | bare with me for just a second | 05:11 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | the rest of the mythtv setup I haven't gone through, yet :/ | 05:11 |
| theboss | oh | 05:11 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | because I need to get a working antenna | 05:12 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | I got it to do a channel scan and came up with only a couple of channels, but it's going to hbe a backend server, solely, so I haven't tried to test if those channels will come in clearly. | 05:12 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | and apparently after trying tosetup a myth-frontend on the same box, the frontend and the backend don't communicate :/ | 05:13 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | so I'm also going to end up doing a wipe/reinstall. | 05:13 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | and try to get them both set up at the same time. | 05:14 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | and, btw, all that stuff I told you is in no way related to me knowing anything ;) | 05:16 |
| Infl8ableSoulm8 | you just happened to have the same card and problem I had the day before you showed up. | 05:16 |
| theboss | its cool | 05:26 |
| theboss | thanks for the insight | 05:26 |

| KjetilK | does the MythBuntu installer CD support LVM installs? | 19:13 |
| rhpot1991 | KjetilK: not any more, its not really needed with storage groups | 19:14 |
| rhpot1991 | KjetilK: there are a few ways you can go about it though, if you really need to | 19:15 |
| KjetilK | hmmm, ok | 19:17 |
| KjetilK | the system I'm building has a 30 GB SSD drive that I plan to use for / and a 500 GB HDD and a 1.5 TB HDD | 19:17 |
| KjetilK | so, the idea was to use the two HDDs in an LVM | 19:18 |
| rhpot1991 | KjetilK: storage groups will handle that for you | 19:18 |
| rhpot1991 | you just tell your storage group it has those 2 drives, and it will fill and maintain them | 19:18 |
| KjetilK | ok | 19:19 |
| rhpot1991 | no reason to hastle with a LVM then | 19:19 |
| KjetilK | that sounds good, as it is indeed a hassle | 19:19 |
| KjetilK | but where do I mount the drives, then? | 19:19 |
| rhpot1991 | KjetilK: wherever you want, all the mythtv stuff lives in /var/lib/mythtv by default | 19:20 |
| KjetilK | right | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | I like to do /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/drive1 and /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/drive2 | 19:20 |
| KjetilK | right, so you mount the drives on those two points? | 19:22 |
| * KjetilK finds http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#storagegroups | 19:24 | |
| KjetilK | OK, thanks, I'll continue the install now :-) | 19:27 |

| sidh | Greetings | 20:41 |
| sidh | excuse me I would need your help: yesterday i watched tv with mythbuntu without a problem, and today, when i want to watch tv, i get a message in french that says : "Error : MythTV uses all entries, but there is none active recordings" | 20:42 |
| sidh | I've made some settings with permissions for dierectory for records and so on, and add the mythtv user in the NFS share group for the video retrieving, maybe i would have made an error in setting the permission of the mythtv user | 20:43 |
| rhpot1991 | sidh: sounds like your tuner is currently recording | 20:43 |
| Seeker` | sidh: what cards do you use? | 20:54 |
| sidh | Seeker`: i use a nova td 500 (dvb-t) | 20:56 |
| sidh | i ran mythtv setup and set generic for both tuner | 20:57 |
| sidh | it seems to work know | 20:58 |
| sidh | btw if there is some french users , the xmltv grabber seems to be unavailable (telepoche) | 21:12 |
| sidh | is there another one ? | 21:13 |
| chiluk | sorry sidh, you are the first french user I've seen on this channel. | 21:29 |
