[01:46] <dewman> who is familier with mythburn? got a weird error at the end of the .iso creation. It creates the .iso ok but throws a permissions error....http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/KtuTB0UP
[01:48] <dewman> nm, just found that I am on the owner on that dir and not myth... ;)
[01:49] <dewman> that could be why.... =)
[05:03] <fluvvell> I need some help with the nbd-server part of mythbuntu-diskless, my nbd-server port is not showing as open.
[05:03] <fluvvell> how can I fix whats wrong with it?
[05:31] <fluvvell> Anybody thats not asleep that is. Wrong side of the world and all that. :-(
[06:20] <fluvvell> how do I restart nbd, via inetd ? restart inetd does not seem to do it
[13:45] <henkpoley> MythWelcome nowadays directly starts mythfrontend. It used to wait on recording startups. Is it possible to reenable the old behaviour?
[13:52] <henkpoley> Shouldn't ask these questions just before leaving :-P
[14:26] <Azelphur> tgm4883: finally fixed my transparent mythtv problem \o/
[14:26] <Azelphur> should it ever come up again, the answer is XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS="1" mythfrontend
[15:48] <matt1982> hmm are ATI cards still bad choice for linux?
[15:49] <matt1982> I have an old box and just use it for mainly web dev so never needed to worry about gfx card etc it is however an ATI pci-e card
[15:52] <dewman> matt1982, I am using one right now on this box that I am on, it works....But I dont use it to play games. I also dont use the ATI drivers for it either.
[15:53] <matt1982> ahh cool just wanted to make sure it was upto the job heh.
[15:53] <matt1982> only really need it for DVD and freeview DVB-T etc
[15:54] <dewman> ahh, well I cant answer that. I dont watch dvd's on this thing...Surf, email, ssh thats about it...
[15:55] <matt1982> ahh right sorry I thought it was just a mythbuntu channel heh
[15:57] <dewman> matt1982, I am using mythbuntu.....=) Now that I think about it, I do have the frontend software on here...... And it does work.... Guess I should have mentioned that. =)
[15:57] <matt1982> hehe sorry my bad i forgot that there was backend too
[15:57] <rhpot1991> matt1982: nvidia works better if you want to offload your HD playback to the gpu
[15:57] <matt1982> stupid mee
[15:57] <rhpot1991> ati might do for you, but you are prob gonna need a beefy cpu then
[15:57] <matt1982> rhpot1991, what version nvidia was it? 8XXX that had HD decode. Although tbh I have no HD content heh
[15:58] <rhpot1991> !vdpau | matt1982
[15:58] <Zinn> matt1982: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU
[15:58] <matt1982> cool thanks
[15:58] <rhpot1991> matt1982: for dvds and SD content you may be ok then
[15:58] <matt1982> cool thanks
[15:59] <rhpot1991> matt1982: easiest way is to try
[15:59] <matt1982> is it a pain to swap cards? Ie if it is rubbish i can get a new card for like £30 this weekend
[15:59] <rhpot1991> shouldn't be
[15:59] <matt1982> i suppose i can reinstall
[15:59] <rhpot1991> just know that there are different pcie slots
[15:59] <matt1982> if i test first I won;'t lose much
[15:59] <rhpot1991> shoulnd't need to reinstall either
[15:59] <rhpot1991> just change from the ati to the nvidia drivers
[15:59] <rhpot1991> restricted driver manager should handle everything for you
[16:01] <matt1982> ahh cool thanks
[16:02] <matt1982> is mythbuntu optimised boot eg no drivers/services are loaded that aren't required etc
[16:03] <matt1982> just wondered I see they use a lighter weight window management which is great
[16:06] <rhpot1991> yep xfce
[16:06] <rhpot1991> and it should only load what your system needs (I think)
[16:07] <matt1982> coolio!
[16:07] <matt1982> can't wait to install tonight
[16:07] <rhpot1991> matt1982: if you are already running ubuntu you can install the mythtv packages on top of that to mess around with things at first
[16:08] <matt1982> it's a suse box i have so just going to scrub it as i dont really use it for much gonna test it out etc
[16:08] <matt1982> just out of interest has anyone got bluray to work with mythbuntu etc I noticed that the price of drives has dropped considerably
[16:10] <rhpot1991> matt1982: I play BR rips on mine
[16:10] <rhpot1991> no easy way to play back directly from the disc currently though
[16:11] <matt1982> :(
[16:11] <rhpot1991> matt1982: google for makemkv
[16:11] <matt1982> pity I would of even paid for the codec if that helped as it looks great so far
[16:12] <rhpot1991> 1080p mkv files do fine for me
[16:12] <matt1982> ahh cool
[16:12] <rhpot1991> I use nvidia to playback though so I can play those all over without worrying about cpu usage
[16:12] <rhpot1991> even on my ion box
[16:12] <rhpot1991> !frontend
[16:12] <Zinn> Ion Boxes make a great frontend.  http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/2
[16:14] <matt1982> ahh cool will check them out thanks
[16:16] <dmfrey> Good morning all...I have a question.  I have a master backend and a secondary backend.  Is it possible to reverse the roles of these two boxes?
[16:17] <matt1982> Zinn, they look really nice pity they don't appear in EU or UK
[16:17] <Zinn> Hi matt1982, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
[16:17] <matt1982> oops I meant rhpot1991
[16:17] <dmfrey> I assume i chould change the configuration around so the secondary backend looks to itself and master backend now looks to the secondary backend, but would still have to move the data from the database, correct?
[16:22] <rhpot1991> dmfrey: got a test box to try it on?
[16:22] <rhpot1991> I'd make that a 2ndary backend, then dump your db and import it over there
[16:22] <rhpot1991> you might have to mess with the hosts in the db itself
[16:23] <dmfrey> rhpot1991: that is what i was thinking of doing...but no, don't have a spare machine lying around
[16:23] <rhpot1991> dmfrey: well make the 2ndary into a master before you disable your current master then
[16:23] <rhpot1991> make sure it works on its own, etc
[16:23] <dmfrey> right, that's what I would do
[16:23] <rhpot1991> it should be as simple as switching the rolls in MCC, and then importing your db and tweaking where the hosts are in there
[16:24] <dmfrey> that's what i am hoping :)
[16:24] <rhpot1991> I think the tuners queue off of those host entries
[16:24] <rhpot1991> if not you can try to tweak those or just drop and re-add
[16:24] <dmfrey> that shouldn't change at all...the tuners are staying where they are
[16:24] <rhpot1991> recordings should check any storage group
[16:26] <rhpot1991> dmfrey: ya I'm thinking it might say hey master backend has the HD-PVR and tries that on the wrong box.  I'm pretty sure those all key off of the hosts though.
[16:27] <dmfrey> it will be worth a shot...and hopefully easily recoverable if it doesn't just switch
[16:28] <rhpot1991> ya should be able to just nuke the db and reconfigure mythtv to point back at your master then
[18:36] <stefano> hi everyone! I've just installed 10-04 on a virtal machine and I would reach media on my host PC using Vista
[18:36] <stefano> can anone help me? where can I start?
[18:36] <stefano> I've tried wiki but I haven't found anything about it
[18:37] <stefano> the two machines can ping each other
[18:37] <stefano> and WMC from Vista sees Myth
[18:38] <stefano> I go eating now, otherway my little bride will kill me :-) See u soon!
[18:47] <rhpot1991> stefano: you need to setup a windows share with your media on it, then mount it in the VM using cifs, and then add that location to your videos storage group in mythtv-setup, then scan for changes in the videos section of mythtvfrontend
[18:47] <rhpot1991> but why are you running mythbuntu in a vm?
[18:52] <matt1982> hey I load mythbuntu (fresh install) and am getting an error, "(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx", (EE)No drivers available. Any ideas how to fix this do I need to install the fglrx driver or should I use the open driver?
[18:52] <rhpot1991> matt1982: you should install with the restricted driver manager
[18:52] <rhpot1991> which can me launched from MCC
[18:53] <matt1982> ahh cool thanks, is that Myth Control Center?
[18:54] <matt1982> hmm there is nothing in the "Restricted Driver Manager" rhpot1991, just an empty list :S
[18:54] <matt1982> The other two options AMD and Nvidia are greyed out in the MCC
[18:56] <rhpot1991> ya MCC is mythbuntu control centre
[18:57] <stefano> thx very mych rhpot1991! I'll try after dinner ;-) I'm using vm because I would test it (and Virtual Box too :-) ) before having a complete install
[18:57] <rhpot1991> stefano: ok, hardware can be a pain in a VM, which is why I ask
[18:57] <rhpot1991> matt1982: perhaps your card isn't supported by the current drivers then, might want to google the card model + ubuntu
[18:58] <stefano> by now I only would try cooperation between Myth and MS.
[18:58] <stefano> I would control also a KNX system with Mythbuntu
[18:58] <matt1982> okidoki will do, also quick question from a fersh install should I run the update manager?
[18:58] <stefano> do u know something about it?
[18:58] <matt1982> it says 139 updates etc
[18:58] <rhpot1991> stefano: no idea what it is
[18:58] <rhpot1991> matt1982: I would
[18:59] <stefano> rhpot: i'll try something and i'll tell u :-)
[18:59] <stefano> rhpot: KNX it's a home automation system. The only international standard
[19:06] <matt1982> hmm seems like my ATI card is too old the x1300 has been moved to legacy driver
[19:11] <rhpot1991> matt1982: you could try to install that, should be some modalias package that will make it available to the restricted driver manager as well
[22:44] <beauzeaux> I have a question regarding LIRC and erratic ir blasting. I have a mce remote / ir blaster installed and LIRC setup for the mceusb module. However irsend commands don't seem to go through, unless i spam them then they sporadically go through.
[23:02] <peter81> hi all, I downloaded the latest mythbuntu 10.04 lastnight and installed it on my HPG61 Laptop. The install went well, however when myth boots, I only ever get to a blank screen (there are some myth splash screens during bootup, but eventually just a blank screen). I suspect it's a video card driver issue, but my experience with linux is limited. Can anyone step me through how to solve
[23:02] <peter81> this problem?
[23:22] <beauzeaux> I can try and help but I'm no expert. Try ctrl + alt + f1
[23:22] <beauzeaux> it should give you a cmd prompt
[23:22] <peter81> hmm, ok, you mean once I'm at the blank screen?
[23:22] <beauzeaux> yea
[23:22] <peter81> ok, give me a min
[23:24] <peter81> nothing
[23:24] <peter81> no response to ctrl alt f1
[23:25] <beauzeaux> hmm... is mythbuntu the only operating system installed on the machine?
[23:25] <peter81> no, there's a windows os as well
[23:25] <peter81> there's a bootloader that lets me select which one I want
[23:25] <peter81> btw
[23:25] <peter81> the recovery selection doesn't work either
[23:25] <peter81> same symptoms
[23:25] <beauzeaux> k thats what i wanted to know and it gets the same error...
[23:26] <peter81> I would have thought that the recovery mode would load some fail safe drivers
[23:27] <beauzeaux> doesn't seem to be "failsafe" when it comes to x
[23:27] <beauzeaux> but i know there is some way to boot into just the command line
[23:27] <peter81> heh, ok
[23:28] <beauzeaux> alright reboot and when you get to the bootloader press e (or c) to get the grub command line
[23:29] <peter81> can do, one moment
[23:29] <peter81> ok
[23:29] <peter81> I'm there
[23:30] <peter81> I have a grub prompt
[23:30] <beauzeaux> alright can you select the memtest boot option
[23:30] <beauzeaux> or the recovery i guess
[23:30] <beauzeaux> and remove the splash and quiet words
[23:30] <beauzeaux> then hit b
[23:31] <peter81> mmm
[23:31] <peter81> oh, I know what you mean, one moment
[23:31] <beauzeaux> sorry been awhile since i used grub.
[23:34] <beauzeaux_> sorry bout that... had a reboot that i forgot about
[23:34] <beauzeaux_> did you get any meaningful output w/o the splash
[23:52] <Goldfisch> Anyone using firewire with your ubuntu/mythtv setup? I am trying to get it going, but not getting far with http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/FireWire
