| mrand | you can't just remove the package? | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| superm1 | it's a kernel module | 00:26 |
| superm1 | if you install the closed source driver it will deactivate it | 00:26 |
| Gibby | superm1; that is what i am trying it won't let me install it since nouveau is in use | 02:18 |
| Gibby | think i found my issue though since i am using diskless.... | 02:19 |
| superm1 | Gibby, oh this is with diskless... | 02:33 |
| superm1 | that probably complicates things in some ways | 02:33 |
| Gibby | superm1, got it working finally :) and with sound out the hdmi | 02:52 |
| Gibby | just got back from class, so a fresh look at it helped | 02:52 |
| Gibby | playing the vdpau high | 02:53 |
| fluvvell | anyone familiar with firestarter firewall, and how to get it to allow dhcp for my client machines? | 03:02 |
| superm1 | Gibby, i think you would be the best person to help us get the diskless GUI alive agian for 11.04 :) | 03:04 |
| superm1 | since you're figuring out the hacks and what not that are necessary | 03:04 |
| superm1 | try to keep notes of everything you're having to do for making stuff work | 03:04 |
| Gibby | that i do, i never even saw any reference to a gui | 03:09 |
| Gibby | fluvvell: firestarter shouldn't block dhcp | 03:10 |
| fluvvell | Gibby, yeah its the 255.255.255.255 broadcast request for dhcp that seems to not be being answered | 03:12 |
| asphere | My xfce task bar stopped getting covered up by mythfrontend | 03:15 |
| asphere | autohide of task bar is ok... ish | 03:16 |
| asphere | better fix out there? | 03:16 |
| Gibby | i never had the problem and i don't have any policies | 03:17 |
| fluvvell | I'm using a gsm stick, ppp0 and wanting to run clients off eth0. I've got a wireless ap on it and the clients auth fine but the requests are being logged at the syslog level and the client gives up after getting no ip address. | 03:18 |
| === Gibby is now known as Gibby_away | ||
| Gibby_away | fluvvell: just add the whole subnet | 03:22 |
| fluvvell | yeah, but it doesn't have an ip address at this stage, and I can't seem to just allow all on eth0 | 03:27 |
| superm1 | Gibby_away, yeah the GUI has needed to be reworked for the current MCC api | 03:28 |
| superm1 | no one has done that yet | 03:28 |
| fluvvell | Gibby_away, what is your network setup ? | 03:45 |

| henk_ | Anybody experience with smartcard readers? Mine keeps saying "EHStatusHandlerThread() Error powering up card." (yes, I'm trying to 'share' the card with myself) | 18:30 |
| _olo_ | !help | 18:54 |

| ComradeHaz` | Eveing all. Just settled down to watch a dvd iso and everytime I tried to play one I just got a blank screen. Killing that gets me back to a blank screen with a curser but trying to restart mythfrontend throws mythfrontend.real: cannot connect to X server | 21:40 |
| ComradeHaz` | any ideas wtf's gone wrong?! | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991 | drm? | 21:41 |
| ComradeHaz` | Nope, all drm free. | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | some sort of unsupported dvd/menu system? | 21:41 |
| ComradeHaz` | But it's the not being able to start frontend that's really odd | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | Nah, played it before. | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | ComradeHaz`: is it in iso form? | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | About to watch second episod on the dvd | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | Yes. | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | not in a storage group? | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991 | !iso | 21:42 |
| Zinn | Storage Groups are a streaming method of transmitting material to a frontend, meaning they don't provide block-level access to the file in question. An ISO is a disk image, and requires block-level access. Upstream has a plan to simulate a block device across the network using NBD for 0.24. Until then you can use the following workaround: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/7 | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | nah on nfs | 21:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | As I say, it worked before and it's the not being able to start frontend that's odd | 21:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | also xfce doesn't seem to be running propperly | 21:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | there's no menu bar.... | 21:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | Really wierd. | 21:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | .... and I cannot vnc it which is also very unusual | 21:45 |
| ComradeHaz` | something seems to have broken :S | 21:45 |
| rhpot1991 | ComradeHaz`: tried rebooting since this happened? | 21:47 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like something is out of whack | 21:47 |
| * rhpot1991 waits to get yelled at from hads | 21:47 | |
| ComradeHaz` | yeah, the machine is mostly off | 21:48 |
| ComradeHaz` | not using backend functionalities yet | 21:48 |
| * ComradeHaz` <---- noob to Myth TV | 21:49 | |
| ComradeHaz` | But yeah, truth is, something has happened. | 21:49 |
| ComradeHaz` | OOps. | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991 | sounds like an issue with your session which should be resolved by restarting or logging out and back in | 21:49 |
| ComradeHaz` | I have replaced all hardware except GPU and HDD :D | 21:49 |
| ComradeHaz` | As I say, rebooted numerous times. | 21:49 |
| ComradeHaz` | Rebooting is pretty much the only way to get out of it when it freezes | 21:50 |
| ComradeHaz` | Just got a flashing red screen :S | 21:50 |
| hads | rhpot1991: It's too early for yelling I just had breakfast :) | 21:50 |
| ComradeHaz` | OK, so when it crashes, I think it crashes the whole of XFCE | 21:51 |
| ComradeHaz` | how can I run thing such that I get a debug? | 21:52 |
| ComradeHaz` | I believe I have got debugging installed / enabled? | 21:52 |
| ComradeHaz` | *-? | 21:52 |
| ComradeHaz` | OK, getting 'Timed out waiting for video buffers' if I run from terminal | 21:54 |
| Gibby | ComradeHaz`: frontend logs? | 22:17 |
| ComradeHaz` | Ah. People are alive :D I just grabbed a spare HDD to do a fresh install on. | 22:21 |
| Gibby | scrap that :) diskless... :) i know.. i know.... but yes /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log pastebin it | 22:21 |
| ComradeHaz` | Well. Actually, things are a little, uh, interesting. | 22:22 |
| ComradeHaz` | Video output goes blank for install. | 22:22 |
| * ComradeHaz` suspects whatever issue is manifesting itself here may be the cause of his problems once booted. | 22:23 | |
| ComradeHaz` | Note again, I have stuck the HDD and GPU into a new box | 22:23 |
| * ComradeHaz` is perplexed | 22:27 | |
| Gibby | did you try a livecd? | 22:30 |
| ComradeHaz` | Yeah, that's what I'm playing with. | 22:31 |
| ComradeHaz` | Get the menue | 22:31 |
| ComradeHaz` | ie Try withut installing, install, check cd etc | 22:31 |
| Gibby | install openssh-server so you can grab the logs while it happens | 22:31 |
| ComradeHaz` | Well, as I say, I now have a blank hdd in there. | 22:32 |
| ComradeHaz` | and given I am not even able to get the installer to disply on this box, I'm thinking it's not,iking some part of the hardware | 22:33 |
| ComradeHaz` | I can stick the other drive back in I suppose | 22:33 |
| ComradeHaz` | as I say, it throws 'Timed out waiting for video buffers' when I try and play an iso | 22:34 |
| ComradeHaz` | though does at least boot | 22:35 |
| Gibby | put the iso on the frontend and try it | 22:35 |
| Gibby | also you can try playing it with VLC over your NFS setup | 22:35 |
| ComradeHaz` | :D I AM | 22:36 |
| ComradeHaz` | I only have one Myth box | 22:36 |
| ComradeHaz` | not using backend functions yet | 22:36 |
| ComradeHaz` | just using to play video files acquired from elsewhare atm | 22:36 |
| ComradeHaz` | So, could you humour me and help me troubleshoot not being able to install! | 22:37 |
| Gibby | ahh ok but the ISO is on another computer and mounted via NFS right? | 22:37 |
| ComradeHaz` | Yes. | 22:38 |
| ComradeHaz` | Not being able to install becasue as soon as I hit try without installing or install, the video output drops off. | 22:38 |
| ComradeHaz` | no tty's working at all. | 22:38 |
| Gibby | does that disc work in another machine? | 22:40 |
| ComradeHaz` | Yeah | 22:40 |
| Gibby | as of today? | 22:41 |
| ComradeHaz` | I can hear it's carrying on loading. | 22:42 |
| Gibby | is it on board video or add in card? | 22:42 |
| ComradeHaz` | I imagine it's booting all the way to the desktp when I hit try without installing. | 22:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | both, using add-in. | 22:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | pretty sure other is disabled. | 22:43 |
| Gibby | do you have antoher monitor to plug in to both? | 22:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | let's see. | 22:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | 'No signal' | 22:44 |
| ComradeHaz` | Machine is pingable. | 22:45 |
| Gibby | ugh, i hate on call week | 22:46 |
| ComradeHaz` | :S | 22:47 |
| ComradeHaz` | On call for anything exciting?! | 22:47 |

| Gibby | about 450 servers | 22:49 |
| * ComradeHaz` is on call for 4x4 response team - help out emergency services in poor weather | 22:50 | |
| ComradeHaz` | much more fun than server admin :D | 22:50 |
| Gibby | i do that too, firefighter | 22:51 |
| Gibby | we had a good stormy summer this year | 22:51 |
| ComradeHaz` | Oooh, funkeh | 22:51 |
| ComradeHaz` | Aye, thing is we only have to do the fun stuff | 22:52 |
| ComradeHaz` | not actually an emergency service, they just call us if they need our (vehicles) help | 22:52 |
| ComradeHaz` | So we drive the police about in the snow and tow ambulances out of mud if they get stuck in a field etc etc | 22:52 |
| Gibby | ahhhh | 22:53 |
| Gibby | have the fun is running code | 22:53 |
| ComradeHaz` | Anyway, just writing an ubuntu image to disc | 22:54 |
| ComradeHaz` | I'm betting I'll get no video but get drums | 22:54 |
| Gibby | you writing it at the slowest speed? | 22:54 |
| ComradeHaz` | Nope, running varify. | 22:54 |
| ComradeHaz` | *verify | 22:54 |
| Gibby | goodluck with that | 22:54 |
| * ComradeHaz` has good discs and good burner. | 22:55 | |
| ComradeHaz` | Right. | 23:02 |
| * ComradeHaz` has drums but no video. | 23:02 | |
| ComradeHaz` | Time to pop over to general Ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| Gibby | hmmm | 23:08 |
| Gibby | take out the video card | 23:08 |
| ComradeHaz` | Hmm. | 23:09 |
| ComradeHaz` | yeah, I have the card that was originally in this box | 23:10 |
| Gibby | well just pull it, and use the on board | 23:12 |
| Gibby | hmm how do i configure an IR remote? | 23:12 |
| ComradeHaz` | Well, teh onboard is no good to me | 23:12 |
| ComradeHaz` | I require hdmi output | 23:13 |
| ComradeHaz` | (not using that atm, btw) | 23:13 |
| Gibby | well if you want to troubleshoot you have to do it | 23:13 |
| ComradeHaz` | Oh, sure. | 23:15 |
| ComradeHaz` | On it. | 23:15 |
| ComradeHaz` | Internal card working. | 23:17 |
| ComradeHaz` | *Onboard | 23:18 |
| ComradeHaz` | So somehow this motherboard disagrees with this GPU?! | 23:18 |
| Gibby | :) | 23:20 |
| Gibby | see we are getting somewhere | 23:20 |
| ComradeHaz` | only place I know I am getting is sad. | 23:21 |
| Gibby | put the other card back in, go to bios and disable on board | 23:30 |
| ComradeHaz` | Done. | 23:30 |
| ComradeHaz` | wondered if I might be marginal on PSU power, so tried unplugging hdd | 23:32 |
| ComradeHaz` | no help | 23:32 |
| Gibby | does it have its own power? | 23:37 |
| ComradeHaz` | Nope. | 23:38 |
| ComradeHaz` | It's only a little fanless GT210 | 23:38 |
| Gibby | ahh ok | 23:38 |
| ComradeHaz` | This is bloody wierd | 23:39 |
| ComradeHaz` | Never seeen anything like this. | 23:39 |
| ComradeHaz` | What is different between the latter part of teh boot and that menu? | 23:39 |
| ComradeHaz` | Further, how come I could boot to the frontend and it only fall over when I tried to play those iso images. | 23:40 |
| ComradeHaz` | Further still, how come I managed to play an mkv on it successfully yesterday when I first put it together | 23:41 |
| * ComradeHaz` is confused. | 23:41 | |
| Gibby | no clue | 23:47 |
| * ComradeHaz` went foraging in the kitchen for something to cheer him up | 23:53 | |
| * ComradeHaz` returned with his Dad's last bottle of a particular cider | 23:54 | |
| * ComradeHaz` forgot until he had opened it that it was being saved | 23:54 | |
| Gibby | well, now if i can only figure out my IR remote.... | 23:55 |
| ComradeHaz` | In what regard? | 23:55 |
| Gibby | how to heck do i program it, i plugged in the usb reciever and selected mce usb all in MCC but only a couple buttons work | 23:56 |
| ComradeHaz` | Think that's just in frontend options | 23:57 |
