[00:28] I installed mythbuntu-repos package. updated to latest package versions and now I can't even login in. It just keeps reprompting me for login. is there a way to revert to default 10.04 pacakges? [00:30] stratagem, there shouldn't have been anything in that repo that would have broke login [00:30] -repos only activates the daily builds [00:30] perhaps it's the updated nvidia driver then [00:30] and the daily builds ppa's only have mythtv fixes [00:31] after I activated the repos, I did an update. I noticed some nvidia updates were in there as well. [00:31] what release are you on? [00:31] but now I can't login, and it's starting in low graphics mode [00:32] 10.04? [00:32] or do you mean .23 or .24 [00:32] .23 [00:32] is what I selected [00:33] sec [00:33] there aren't any nvidia packages in our PPA for 10.04 [00:33] so if you got an updated nvidia package, it was from ubuntu [00:33] yeah, I used a repo from a post I found in the forums [00:34] link? [00:35] not to rush you, but i'm about to head home from work [00:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1524257&highlight=stuttering [00:35] [ubuntuforums.org] [SOLVED] VDPAU Choppy video and stuttering audio after upgrade to 10.04 - Ubuntu Forums [00:36] originally I was on 256, I guess I was updated to something passed that [00:36] using a onboard chipset based on 8200/8300 I believe [00:36] Ok, so you upgraded from the nvidia PPA then [00:36] not the mythbuntu ppa [00:37] It sounds like your driver isn't loading/may not be installed [00:37] yeah, couldn't use VDPAU at all before [00:37] actually I ended up turning off VDPAU anyway [00:37] stil had issues [00:37] i'm going to refer you to #ubuntu for help with that, as I need to head home and there are more people there to help you [00:37] suttering was lessened but not entirely [00:38] i'd try it again after you get the driver working properly [00:38] should work fine on that chipset I think [00:38] It's a nForce 750a [00:38] ASUS M3N-HD board [00:39] pain in the butt since I've had it. [00:39] thanks for putting me in the right direction though. [00:40] I can actually login to the "term" session (not mythbuntu or xfce), and then start mythfrontend [00:40] but no suond [00:40] video seems to be ok though [01:37] Hi, I'm using the mythbuntu repos, on my netbook I'm getting this error "The server uses network protocol version 56, but this client only understands version 23056. Make sure you are running compatible versions of the backend and frontend" [01:37] but all my machines are running off the mythbuntu repo, what gives? [01:45] it looks like my netbook has 0.23.0+fixes25423 but my PC only has 24158 [01:45] Azelphur, your backend isn't updated [01:45] !stab Daviey [01:45] * Zinn stabs Daviey with a rusty spork. [01:46] my PC ain't updated either xD [01:46] yea, there was an upstream change in protocols. Daviey was supposed to push a final build to 0.23 with the 56 protocol version....apparently he was eaten by wolves though [01:47] but if all my machines are on the same repos how come some work some don't? [01:48] your options are A) revert your netbook to a previous build. B) Upgrade your backend to a newer build, or C) keep bugging Daviey and telling him he fails for not pushing the build yet, but it's expected because he is british [01:48] Azelphur, are they all on 0.23? [01:48] yes all 0.23 [01:48] then it's the issue i just described [01:49] It was because of an upstream change that got reverted [01:49] we need to push a final package for 0.23 [01:49] alternatively, you could move to 0.23.1 [01:49] but my PC and backend are all running 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2 [01:49] and there are no available updates [01:49] Azelphur, then you don't have the 0.23 repos activated [01:50] but my netbook somehow ended up with 25423 [01:50] :s [01:50] well my backend is running mythbuntu [01:50] on your backend, what is the output of 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mythbuntu-repos.list' [01:50] no such file or directory [01:50] same on my PC [01:51] ok [01:51] and yea my laptop has that file [01:51] whats the output of 'dpkg -l mythbuntu-repos' [01:51] * tgm4883 already knows the answer to the last question [01:51] hehe, nothing [01:51] ok I'm getting it [01:51] weird I thought I got mythtv from the mythbuntu ppa [01:51] :) [01:52] ok so in theory get off the mythbuntu repos and all will be well [01:52] Azelphur, yep, install and update and you should be fine [01:52] mythbuntu-repos doesn't know about 0.23.1 yet, so you can manually add that to the mythbuntu-repos.list file if you want to update to that [01:53] you would just replace 0.23 with 0.23.1 [01:53] anyway, off to dinner [01:53] ty :) [02:08] OK OK [02:08] i'll upload it tomorrow. [02:09] hehe [02:09] Daviey: heard that before :D [02:09] bah :) [07:02] Hello everyone. i have just installed mythbuntu and the vidio and sound all works but i cannot get the usb drives to auto mount is there a special trick [10:53] hi [10:54] /msg NickServ bowser [11:07] Hi all. Im succsefully using mythbuntu with my Dvico FusionHDTVplus card. I have the FusionMCE remote and while it does work each keypress is duplicated meaning it skips every other item. I have tried editing lirc.conf using examples found on the net however anything i do (after restarting lirc) either results in it not working at all or no change. Would love to get this working - thanks. [11:20] nildew You need yo user driver dvico in hardware.conf [11:20] Mildew You need yo user driver dvico in hardware.conf [11:21] so i need to change something in the hardware.conf file? [11:22] To be completely honest with you I have fusion remote and I dont use it anymore as I couldnt get it to wake my machine from sleep [11:23] it also has issues working after a sleep which is even more annoying than it not wbeing able to wake from sleep [11:23] hehe, at present that doesnt worry me if that doesnt work - i just want it to not jump every other line.. [11:24] i also have a compro remote - maybe i could get that to work if this is unsuccseful [11:24] well if in your hardware. conf it has driver="dvico" which Im pretty sure it should else it would not be working at all [11:26] Hi all im running mythbuntu quite nicely but when i try to view YouTube videos it crashes any ideas ? [11:26] have you set up using /usr/share/lirc/remotes/dvico [11:26] when you choose fullscreen? yes? [11:27] yip [11:27] driver = dvico, yeah [11:28] lol I have 2 or 3 machines that do that I think its hardware realted as my asrock ion does not do it and its the only pc I have with good graphics driver [11:28] and its using " /usr/share/lirc/remotes/dvico" [11:29] thats correct thats what it should be ... [11:29] thats all working as it should - its just this duplicate keypress thing [11:29] so your gettiung multiple key presses with each button press? [11:29] x2, yes [11:30] try runniung irw and see how may you get off each press [11:30] so it jump every second ine in menus, or skips a channel in live tv [11:30] Ill do the same with my microsoft one [11:30] irw [11:30] doh, wrong keyboard :) [11:31] I get 2 inputs of each button press unless id like unconfy fast press [11:31] exactly [11:31] but even just fast tap doesnt stop it jumping [11:32] when in mythtv [11:32] well thats what my microsoft one does and it works great in myth and xbmc [11:32] ok - hey thanks for ur help anyway [11:33] you can set repeat rate in lirc [11:33] i did read that somewhere [11:33] hmm, but where :) [11:35] in lircrc repeat =0 [11:35] or whatever you set it at [11:36] any hints on my youtube problem ? [11:36] where is that file... [11:37] sorry, im not tnat cluey on linux as yet [11:37] in ~/.lirc are all the config settings with reapet rates etc for each program [11:37] Nucleus222, Id love a solution on that one also never did it in Karmic.... [11:37] That I recall anyway [11:38] Mildew, go to lirc. org for some tips on repeat and delay etc [11:39] ok, i did spend a bit of time there the other day - i shall revisit [11:39] thanks rileyp [11:40] Mildew, http://www.lirc.org/html/configure.html#lircrc_format [11:40] [www.lirc.org] LIRC - Linux Infrared Remote Control [11:41] Nucleus222, Id ask on Ubuntu as I thibnk all vrgins of lucid will do it not just mythbuntu [11:46] Morning all. [11:46] hi [11:47] All repeats are set to 0 [11:47] were set to zero [11:47] I am completely new to myth. I just built a mythbuntu box, and I have some issues. [11:47] yes thats what they all are by default [11:48] yes, so that aint the answer :) [11:48] thats normal VulcanRidr [11:49] lol. [11:49] Myth is hardcore and can do you over real fast if you dont read up prior [11:50] just tricky Id say like if you change ip adress and pas workd and stuff it must be done in the backend first or all hell brakes loose [11:50] rileyp: Please watch your language. [11:50] rileyp: Mind if I ask a few questions to try to work it out? [11:51] just ask [11:52] must of been hardcore [11:52] I built a (master) backend to mainly record. My transcode is failing. I click transcode, and my logs say it failed. But I can't find where to set it up in the menus. [11:54] lol transcoding is not for the super new in fact I havent gone there with the mythtranscoder . [11:55] Hi All, does anyone know what the current state of Mythbuntu trunk is? [11:55] Well, I got the stanza set up to recode it for the Nxx0 (N810 and N900). [11:55] It uses ffmpeg yes? an you need to have ffmpeg set up correcly and ffmpegs command swicthes are changing all the time so what worked a year ago on thw wiki will not work today probably [11:56] If you want an easy way to transcode use handbrake- cli andrun it as a user jub [11:56] I guess I could go back to doing it with mencoder by hand like I did when I was running webvcrplus. :) [11:56] Its the easiest way to make mpeg4 [11:57] Excellent idea! I encode into avi (which doesn't work with handbrake, but works on the backend) for the Nokia devices, but I also want to stick it on my fileserver. I may go .mkv or .mp4 for that. [11:58] Next question. How to set up mythweather on the backend only? [11:58] Ill give you my 2 best links for transcoding..... wait [12:00] Notta problem... [12:02] http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464306 see post number 6 [12:02] [newyork.ubuntuforums.org] Errror 2041 after mythexport ipod conversion - Ubuntu Forums [12:02] there are other settings apart from ipod [12:03] but that little piece of works wil have you auto trancoding in 15 minutes [12:03] Wow...Thanks man... [12:03] Sweet! [12:03] just need to remember that myth tv will need write permissions on the output folder [12:04] Right now, I just took the default, which is /var/lib/mythtv. [12:04] well you wil still need to make a folder to put the trancoded stuff in not just /var/lib/mythtv [12:05] eg var/lib/mythtv/ipod [12:05] eg var/lib/mythtv/mpeg4 [12:06] VulcanRidr, you dont need to do all that stuff either anymore [12:07] you can just add the handbrake-cli repo and download /install with synaptic [12:07] hang on [12:09] Sweet. [12:09] https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots%3Chttps://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots [12:09] [edge.launchpad.net] HandBrake Snapshots : John Stebbins [12:10] full guide how to install handbrake with synaptic [12:10] BTW, rileyp, I am super-new to myth, but I've been doing Linux for something like 15 years... [12:10] you willl still ned the script though for myth to run [12:10] cool so you can help me perhaps one day [12:10] Thats fine...Bash and I are old compadres. :) [12:10] 12 month son linux [12:12] so you create the script and pop it in /usr/bin make it executible and set it in your backend as a user job [12:13] Ok. So in effect, the canned transcoding is broken. Makes me feel better, I thought I was just dumb. :) [12:13] And apparently the docs haven't caught up with the code. [12:16] Now the other problem I have is with mythweather. I haven't been able to find many docs at all. I'm running mythweb on the backend, and when I go into the configuration (the key and wrench icon at the top), and click weather, I get a single tab called Screen Settings... [12:16] VulcanRidr, yes thats correct ffmpeg is like a huge headache at present from waht ai Can gather [12:16] oh mythweather um [12:17] And under that, I have "Inactive screens" saying "Warning!! No types were found in weathersourcesettings for hostname () [12:17] I used it once... dont anymore use xbmc if i want weather fast [12:17] press button on remote [12:17] Below that, I have Active screens, and buttons for Up, Down, Edit and Delete, but none do anything. [12:17] press m [12:18] Doesn't do anything. [12:19] um open setttings plugins mythweather [12:19] on frontend [12:20] then selct city etc [12:20] I don't have a frontend. Do I need one for mythweather? [12:20] or iscript if you use one [12:20] no not if you using your backend as a frontends [12:21] I was just going to access it over mythweb...But if thats not an option, so be it. [12:21] so your using 1 machine yes? [12:21] It may be an option but I have nver aset up mythwetaher using mythweb [12:21] I didn't even install the frontend there. Just a master backend. I guess I'll disable mythweather in the control center. [12:21] lol great english there [12:22] so what are you using to view stuff? [12:22] and your remote? [12:22] wher are you using your remote to conrol mythtv [12:24] I'm not at this point. I am mainly using it as a recorder, like a dvr. My plan is to eventually put frontends on my and my wife's computers that will run in a window, and then long-term, get dedicated boxes for frontends for the TVs. [12:26] asrock ions for front ends ...gold [12:26] fro tvs around house [12:28] well the remote prolly works fine in myth just you never tried...... [12:35] True. [12:38] so mythweather you would open advanced>settings>plugins>mythweather and set it up...... [12:39] hwo are you using myth with a frontend... just install one on your backend and try it out it uses no resources if its not running [12:39] thats without [12:39] not with [12:40] I record shows on the backend, then recode to a better format (.avi for the nokias, and ??? for the desktops). We mainly watch content on one of those. [12:42] This is all a stepping stone. I wanted to prove the function (mainly to my wife) and then upgrade the hardware on the backend and start buying hardware for the frontends. [12:45] hey guys my myth tv is showing up to large for my screen how can i change it i cant see the menus anymore [12:46] never mind i fixed it [13:51] you guys know if a 24104 backend will play nice with 24178 frontend? [14:09] mycosys no it wont [14:11] crud [14:12] that is the shipped mythbuntu and the precompiled trunk frontend [14:27] I could be mistaken [14:52] shouldnt it only depend on whether the db schema or myth protocol have changed in the intervening? [14:54] I suppose so [15:44] I'm currently running 0.22 on 9.10 with autobuilds enabled. Can I just upgrade mythtv component or is lucid a prerequisite ? [16:01] hey all [16:02] hi [16:02] hipitihop, you can upgrade to 0.23 on that [16:03] can someone give me a hand? im having trouble with the db on a fresh install of mythbuntu [16:03] qwebirc50575, ask your question :) [16:03] or post your error [16:03] mycosys, actually, that should I would think [16:03] or is that 0.22 and 0.23? [16:03] k just a sec [16:04] tgm4883, just to confirm, I can stay on 9.10 and upgrade to 0.23 ? [16:04] highvoltage, yep, just reconfigure mythbuntu-repos and select 0.23 [16:05] thats what my backend is [16:05] tgm4883, should I expect complications ? I assume I should do a db backup [16:06] hipitihop, yea do a backup. Always do a backup [16:06] but I wouldn't expect many [16:07] tgm4883, any functionality I will miss because not on lucid ? [16:08] k, i keep getting 'QMYSQL: Unable to connect' when trying to start the mythtv backend setup [16:08] I'm oly hesitant to do the lucid upgrade because I had all sorts of problems with usbhid to get my lirc remote functional and I also am running asterisk on same box [16:08] the db is running and set up [16:45] tgm4883, done backup now thanks (always a first time ;-) .. trying to configure repositories in mcc to 0.23 gives permission error and reverts. Do I need to run mcc as sudo ? [16:45] yep [16:47] hipitihop, no you should [16:47] shouldn't [16:47] bugger, too late [16:48] now in update manager and done 'check' [16:48] odd [16:48] ok [16:48] heh? [16:49] patdk-wk, ? [16:49] you said he doesn't need sudo [16:49] yea he shouldn't [16:49] hmm, mcc always runs as sudo on all of my systems [16:49] patdk-wk, it shouldn't [16:49] and in order to change any repo's you must be root [16:49] the fact that I'm running it from another machine via ssh make any difference ? [16:49] everytime I run it, it asks for my password [16:50] and it's in the system menu [16:50] system -> admin [16:50] hipitihop, it might [16:50] oh, am I htinking something else? [16:50] myth control center? [16:50] mythbuntu-control-centre [16:51] defently requires sudo [16:52] patdk-wk, no it does not [16:52] what release are you running [16:52] 8.04, 9.10, and 10.04 [16:52] it might require sudo on 8.04 [16:52] but doesn't on the other two [16:52] my 10.04 still does [16:53] hmm [16:53] I'm on 9.10 ....ok, update manager found whole series of things now, I assume I don;t need to stop backend for this update [16:53] now, I'm not running from a mythbuntu install or desktop though [16:54] I installed mythbuntu ontop of lucid install, and use it via a gnome desktop in a normal user account [16:54] patdk-wk, that sould be the same [16:54] very odd [16:54] I just go to system -> admin -> mcc [16:54] then it asks for my password (gksu) [16:55] fyi: mine was a 9.04 0.21 mythbuntu clean install from iso, later upgraded to 9.10 0.22 [16:57] ok, updatemanager based update kicked off [16:58] patdk-wk, did you upgrade from a previous version? [16:58] ya, all the way from 8.04 [16:58] hmm [17:02] * hipitihop is hoping this update does not break his lirc / usbhid hacks to get imon remote going. Was a pita to sort out [17:02] hipitihop: just back up the important stuff, then no worries. [17:02] patdk-wk: when I fire up mcc, it does not ask for my password initially. When I go to change some things, then I think it does. [17:06] I assume this update will migrate the db if needed [17:07] strange [17:07] hipitihop: myth does that automagically. Hopefully you are upgrading all frontends and backends at the same time. [17:08] hipitihop, migrate, no, upgrade, yes :) [17:08] mrand, only one machine, both front/back :-) [17:09] then there should be no worries. [17:09] ok, update manager happy... time to reboot [17:09] my brother is update with the upgrade to 0.23, he can't find a windows client that works with it [17:09] so using mythweb, that I have been working on fixing [17:10] patdk-wk: Last I checked, the guy that does the unofficial windows builds has it for both 0.23 and 0.23.1 [17:10] So I'm surprised. [17:10] mrand, he isn't using that though [17:10] me was using some unoffical thing [17:11] while I'm bothering everyone here, is there a more polite mythtv way I should be using then 'sudo reboot' from my ssh session ? [17:11] winmyth, that is what he was using [17:11] hipitihop, that is what I do :) [17:12] winmyth sounds like a third party frontend. That isn't necessarily bad, except that the third party people tends to not do the protocol versioning stuff correctly. Myth builds for windows, and there is someone that creates binaries, so I'd have him try that. [17:13] yep [17:13] I haven't cared, he knows he is on his own there [18:57] takes forever for my vnc thing to work nd ssh [18:57] whts wrog === joel__ is now known as jolaren [19:14] Can't understand what's wrong [19:14] Can't understand what's wrong [19:14] sorry [19:30] Any known issues with gdm in recent updates? keep getting sent back to login manager. [19:30] no error messages or anything. not an authentication issue [19:33] hm, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" just goes back to prompt. [19:34] I should just reinstall and never do upgrades. always seem to screw me up somehow. [19:36] !login% [19:36] If 9.10 upgrade broke auto-login for you, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463314 [19:36] statagem_bot: might want to see if that helps [19:37] quite old though, so it shouldn't be your current issue [19:39] I was on a fresh copy of 10.04 as of less than a month ago. did a few synaptic updates since then. but the recent one screwed me up. nvidia driver stopped working and can't login. [19:39] was starting in "low graphics mode" [19:39] so I changed xorg to VESA [19:40] so I get the login window. can select between mythbuntu-session, xfce-session and terminal. only terminal works. of course no window manager loads [19:41] I had added PPA ubuntu repo to get latest nvidia driver because video/audio stuttered so bad under VDPAU [19:41] and was working great on 256. but something was updated recently I think [19:44] automaticlogin is enabled in custom.conf [19:44] so why isn't it automatically logging in :) [19:46] figured it would atleast load xfce with vesa if it's an nvidia issue [20:16] rhpot1991: that bug was definitely not my issue. after removing the ppa x ubuntu repo and reinstalling nvidia-current. my low graphics mode issues seem to have gone away. but I'm still being prompted for password by gdm even though custom.conf clearly is showing automaticalogin is enabled. and can't get passed the login screen. any other suggestions? [20:18] I am using .23+fixes packages [20:23] Hello fellows! [20:24] Can't even unlock Automatic Login Configuration [20:24] after starting xfce from term manually [20:24] Our combined BE/FE crashed earlier and now it won't come back to life. The Backend refuses to start, mythtvbackend.log points towards a corrupted database [20:24] Can someone walk me through repairing the database? [20:25] Or link me to a guide how to do it? I know hardly anything about MYSQL [20:36] MilhousePunkRock: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html [20:36] [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR [20:37] There is a section called "MySQL database is corrupt" and give a command to run from a terminal [20:38] will this database backup and restore script work on .23 and will it save all the channel/freq/xmltvid info as well? [20:39] I don't really care about the recordings too much. but it took me awhile to get all my channel info correct. [20:40] since solving my login problem is a huge waste of time. I'll just reinstall 10.04 and restore database. [20:42] Lt_Dan: Thanks... I managed to recall mysqlcheck --auto-repair in the meantime [20:42] Have a nice day everyone! [21:31] hey hows it going guys, im trying to install mythbuntu pc specs, i7 930 6gb corsair xms3 HD Radeon 5770 and when i boot the live cd i get "invalid format" on my tv, how do i fix this and i dont have a computer monitor just hdtv that accepts normal pc resolutions === qwebirc17737 is now known as kickedinthenuts
