[03:04] <UbuntuLily> how do I format a hard disk from a Mythbuntu live cd?
[03:24] <rhpot1991> UbuntuLily: should be able to launch gparted from the menu
[03:25] <rhpot1991> and the installer will format it along the way
[04:56] <theboss> wondering if someone could help me get mythtv working on ubuntu 10.4
[04:59] <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.
[05:01] <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
[05:04] <theboss> also is it better to run mytbuntu than mythtv
[05:04] <theboss> on top of regular ubuntu 10.04
[05:05] <theboss> i just have the regular install for ubuntu 10.04 but see where i can apt-get in mythbuntu
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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.
[05:11] <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
[05:12] <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.
[05:13] <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.
[05:14] <Infl8ableSoulm8> and try to get them both set up at the same time.
[05:16] <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.
[05:26] <theboss> its cool
[05:26] <theboss> thanks for the insight
[15:33]  * sh_kilnao 
[19:13] <KjetilK> does the MythBuntu installer CD support LVM installs?
[19:14] <rhpot1991> KjetilK: not any more, its not really needed with storage groups
[19:15] <rhpot1991> KjetilK: there are a few ways you can go about it though, if you really need to
[19:17] <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
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <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?
[19:20] <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
[19:22] <KjetilK> 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] <KjetilK> OK, thanks, I'll continue the install now :-)
[20:41] <sidh> Greetings
[20:42] <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"
[20:43] <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
[20:54] <Seeker`> sidh: what cards do you use?
[20:56] <sidh> Seeker`: i use a nova td 500 (dvb-t)
[20:57] <sidh> i ran mythtv setup and set generic for both tuner
[20:58] <sidh> it seems to work know
[21:12] <sidh> btw if there is some french users , the xmltv grabber seems to be unavailable (telepoche)
[21:13] <sidh> is there another one ?
[21:29] <chiluk> sorry sidh, you are the first french user I've seen on this channel.
