[05:26] howdy [05:27] on my way to home from a long day, wife calls and say that the box was not responding so she figure if she turn off the power and turn it back everything will be cool. [05:27] by the time i am home i got the warm welcoming , so i looked at the screen and there it is , "The configuration default for GNOME power manager didn't installed correctly" [05:27] and everytime i try to login i get this msg [05:33] did you try?: sudo apt-get upgrade [05:33] or something like that [05:33] to try to finish installing the package? [05:34] or there may be a better-suited dpkg command to run the install configuration again [05:35] no i didn't [05:35] cups cups-client cups-common libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsdriver1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 [05:35] libcupsppdc1 libtiff4 sudo [05:35] 11 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [05:35] Need to get 4,300kB of archives. [05:35] After this operation, 8,192B of additional disk space will be used. [05:36] Do you want to continue [Y/n]? [05:36] try sudo dpkg --configure gnome-power-manager [05:37] although it couldn't hurt to upgrade those items. [05:41] i did the upgrade [05:43] dpkg: error processing gnome-power-manager (--configure): [05:43] package gnome-power-manager is already installed and configured [05:43] Errors were encountered while processing: [05:43] gnome-power-manager [05:48] maybe sudo dpkg --force-configure gnome-power-manager [05:48] but the thing is that i am not running gnome [05:49] i run xfce [05:49] i mean, this is what i thought mythbuntu uses [06:01] yeah, but you can install gnome components. [06:02] if you don't need the power manager, you could just remove it. [06:02] that is, that computer isn't running on laptop, is it? [06:03] I'm pretty sure the gnome power manager monitors bttery life? [06:03] oh [06:04] looks like it is capable of reducing CPU freq, spinning down the HD, etc. [06:28] i think this is my problem http://pastebin.com/swbdbwpU [06:29] lol [06:29] I can see that causing some issues. [06:31] lol [06:32] now comes the big issue "DELETE" [06:32] never would have thought of disk space, though. [06:32] there is one show that my 3 yrs old love...if i delete it am a dead man [06:32] you're running a myth backend on a 100GB hard drive? :x [06:32] 1006_20100611123000.mpg [06:33] all my live tv are like this how would i know which one [06:33] i tried to login the mythweb and no luck [06:33] you'd have to delete them from inside mythtv [06:33] well how and i can;t get it to run [06:33] well [06:34] you could movesome of those mpgs to a different computer manually [06:34] mythfrontend [06:34] xprop: unable to open display '' [06:34] mythfrontend.real: cannot connect to X server [06:34] mythtv will complain about the database and the filesystem not matching [06:35] but it won't harm anything, in theory [06:35] also, you should probably think about getting a bigger hard drive. [06:35] * Infl8ableSoulm8 nods. [06:36] how would i know what is the bigest file so i can move it [06:36] or transcoding to mp4 and archiving the files somewhere else. [06:36] du ? [06:37] should list the files and their sizes in the specified directory, I think [06:38] hrmm [06:38] not particularly human-readable. [06:39] and it recursively lists feils in all subdirectories. [06:39] files [06:40] ls -lh [06:40] gives you a list of files in current dir and uses human-readable sizes [06:40] so you get things like 2G, 546M, 23K [06:44] http://pastebin.com/pnUcmdM4 [06:45] you need to look in the directories where myth saves recorded shows. [06:45] can't remember were heheh [06:45] i think by defulat it's in /var somewhere? [06:45] default [14:47] it seems that when i download metadata for my videos I am getting the synopsis but not the cover art or fan art. It was working up until a couple of days ago. [15:38] can someone give me the syntax to use wget for coverart? i tried wget and the image url and it just pulls the index not image [16:58] had to use wget -O to force it to save how i needed it. any answers to why mythtv stopped downloading the coverart and fanart?
