[03:04] how do I format a hard disk from a Mythbuntu live cd? [03:24] UbuntuLily: should be able to launch gparted from the menu [03:25] and the installer will format it along the way [04:56] wondering if someone could help me get mythtv working on ubuntu 10.4 [04:59] !ask | theboss [04:59] 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. [05:01] 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] when i mythtv-setup for whatever reason the card is not there [05:04] also is it better to run mytbuntu than mythtv [05:04] on top of regular ubuntu 10.04 [05:05] i just have the regular install for ubuntu 10.04 but see where i can apt-get in mythbuntu [05:09] so, that card option didn't fix it? [05:09] check to see if /dev/dvb exists [05:09] well i removed mythtv [05:09] just reinstalled [05:09] /dev/dvb should still exist without mythtv [05:09] yes [05:10] /dev/dvb is there [05:10] k [05:10] i believe my card is functioning [05:10] something isnt jiving still though [05:10] i reinstalled i start mythtv-setup [05:10] did you select DVB as the device type? [05:10] i go to capture cards [05:10] yes [05:10] it has samsung something or another [05:10] hmm. [05:10] yeah [05:10] that's what mine shows up as. [05:11] what else should i try to do there in setting up the capture card [05:11] but I can only get a few station that don't work because my antenna is apparently crap. [05:11] bare with me for just a second [05:11] the rest of the mythtv setup I haven't gone through, yet :/ [05:11] oh [05:12] because I need to get a working antenna [05:12] 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. [05:13] and apparently after trying tosetup a myth-frontend on the same box, the frontend and the backend don't communicate :/ [05:13] so I'm also going to end up doing a wipe/reinstall. [05:14] and try to get them both set up at the same time. [05:16] and, btw, all that stuff I told you is in no way related to me knowing anything ;) [05:16] you just happened to have the same card and problem I had the day before you showed up. [05:26] its cool [05:26] thanks for the insight === silverdulcet is now known as Guest27217 [15:33] * sh_kilnao [19:13] does the MythBuntu installer CD support LVM installs? [19:14] KjetilK: not any more, its not really needed with storage groups [19:15] KjetilK: there are a few ways you can go about it though, if you really need to [19:17] hmmm, ok [19:17] 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 [19:18] so, the idea was to use the two HDDs in an LVM [19:18] KjetilK: storage groups will handle that for you [19:18] you just tell your storage group it has those 2 drives, and it will fill and maintain them [19:19] ok [19:19] no reason to hastle with a LVM then [19:19] that sounds good, as it is indeed a hassle [19:19] but where do I mount the drives, then? [19:20] KjetilK: wherever you want, all the mythtv stuff lives in /var/lib/mythtv by default [19:20] right [19:20] I like to do /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/drive1 and /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/drive2 [19:22] right, so you mount the drives on those two points? [19:24] * KjetilK finds http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#storagegroups [19:27] OK, thanks, I'll continue the install now :-) === Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker === Seeker is now known as Seeker` [20:41] Greetings [20:42] 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" [20:43] 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] sidh: sounds like your tuner is currently recording [20:54] sidh: what cards do you use? [20:56] Seeker`: i use a nova td 500 (dvb-t) [20:57] i ran mythtv setup and set generic for both tuner [20:58] it seems to work know [21:12] btw if there is some french users , the xmltv grabber seems to be unavailable (telepoche) [21:13] is there another one ? [21:29] sorry sidh, you are the first french user I've seen on this channel.
