[00:18] you can't just remove the package? [00:26] it's a kernel module [00:26] if you install the closed source driver it will deactivate it [02:18] superm1; that is what i am trying it won't let me install it since nouveau is in use [02:19] think i found my issue though since i am using diskless.... [02:33] Gibby, oh this is with diskless... [02:33] that probably complicates things in some ways [02:52] superm1, got it working finally :) and with sound out the hdmi [02:52] just got back from class, so a fresh look at it helped [02:53] playing the vdpau high [03:02] anyone familiar with firestarter firewall, and how to get it to allow dhcp for my client machines? [03:04] Gibby, i think you would be the best person to help us get the diskless GUI alive agian for 11.04 :) [03:04] since you're figuring out the hacks and what not that are necessary [03:04] try to keep notes of everything you're having to do for making stuff work [03:09] that i do, i never even saw any reference to a gui [03:10] fluvvell: firestarter shouldn't block dhcp [03:12] Gibby, yeah its the 255.255.255.255 broadcast request for dhcp that seems to not be being answered [03:15] My xfce task bar stopped getting covered up by mythfrontend [03:16] autohide of task bar is ok... ish [03:16] better fix out there? [03:17] i never had the problem and i don't have any policies [03:18] 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. === Gibby is now known as Gibby_away [03:22] fluvvell: just add the whole subnet [03:27] yeah, but it doesn't have an ip address at this stage, and I can't seem to just allow all on eth0 [03:28] Gibby_away, yeah the GUI has needed to be reworked for the current MCC api [03:28] no one has done that yet [03:45] Gibby_away, what is your network setup ? === Gibby_away is now known as Gibby === mvetketel is now known as bogus- [18:30] Anybody experience with smartcard readers? Mine keeps saying "EHStatusHandlerThread() Error powering up card." (yes, I'm trying to 'share' the card with myself) [18:54] <_olo_> !help [18:54] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [21:40] 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] any ideas wtf's gone wrong?! [21:41] drm? [21:41] Nope, all drm free. [21:41] some sort of unsupported dvd/menu system? [21:42] But it's the not being able to start frontend that's really odd [21:42] Nah, played it before. [21:42] ComradeHaz`: is it in iso form? [21:42] About to watch second episod on the dvd [21:42] Yes. [21:42] not in a storage group? [21:42] !iso [21:42] 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] nah on nfs [21:43] As I say, it worked before and it's the not being able to start frontend that's odd [21:43] also xfce doesn't seem to be running propperly [21:43] there's no menu bar.... [21:43] Really wierd. [21:45] .... and I cannot vnc it which is also very unusual [21:45] something seems to have broken :S [21:47] ComradeHaz`: tried rebooting since this happened? [21:47] sounds like something is out of whack [21:47] * rhpot1991 waits to get yelled at from hads [21:48] yeah, the machine is mostly off [21:48] not using backend functionalities yet [21:49] * ComradeHaz` <---- noob to Myth TV [21:49] But yeah, truth is, something has happened. [21:49] OOps. [21:49] sounds like an issue with your session which should be resolved by restarting or logging out and back in [21:49] I have replaced all hardware except GPU and HDD :D [21:49] As I say, rebooted numerous times. [21:50] Rebooting is pretty much the only way to get out of it when it freezes [21:50] Just got a flashing red screen :S [21:50] rhpot1991: It's too early for yelling I just had breakfast :) [21:51] OK, so when it crashes, I think it crashes the whole of XFCE [21:52] how can I run thing such that I get a debug? [21:52] I believe I have got debugging installed / enabled? [21:52] *-? [21:54] OK, getting 'Timed out waiting for video buffers' if I run from terminal [22:17] ComradeHaz`: frontend logs? [22:21] Ah. People are alive :D I just grabbed a spare HDD to do a fresh install on. [22:21] scrap that :) diskless... :) i know.. i know.... but yes /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log pastebin it [22:22] Well. Actually, things are a little, uh, interesting. [22:22] Video output goes blank for install. [22:23] * ComradeHaz` suspects whatever issue is manifesting itself here may be the cause of his problems once booted. [22:23] Note again, I have stuck the HDD and GPU into a new box [22:27] * ComradeHaz` is perplexed [22:30] did you try a livecd? [22:31] Yeah, that's what I'm playing with. [22:31] Get the menue [22:31] ie Try withut installing, install, check cd etc [22:31] install openssh-server so you can grab the logs while it happens [22:32] Well, as I say, I now have a blank hdd in there. [22:33] 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] I can stick the other drive back in I suppose [22:34] as I say, it throws 'Timed out waiting for video buffers' when I try and play an iso [22:35] though does at least boot [22:35] put the iso on the frontend and try it [22:35] also you can try playing it with VLC over your NFS setup [22:36] :D I AM [22:36] I only have one Myth box [22:36] not using backend functions yet [22:36] just using to play video files acquired from elsewhare atm [22:37] So, could you humour me and help me troubleshoot not being able to install! [22:37] ahh ok but the ISO is on another computer and mounted via NFS right? [22:38] Yes. [22:38] Not being able to install becasue as soon as I hit try without installing or install, the video output drops off. [22:38] no tty's working at all. [22:40] does that disc work in another machine? [22:40] Yeah [22:41] as of today? [22:42] I can hear it's carrying on loading. [22:42] is it on board video or add in card? [22:43] I imagine it's booting all the way to the desktp when I hit try without installing. [22:43] both, using add-in. [22:43] pretty sure other is disabled. [22:43] do you have antoher monitor to plug in to both? [22:43] let's see. [22:44] 'No signal' [22:45] Machine is pingable. [22:46] ugh, i hate on call week [22:47] :S [22:47] On call for anything exciting?! [22:47] * ComradeHaz` is on call but enjoys the shouts! [22:49] on call for solaris/hpux/aix/red hat/suse [22:49] :S [22:49] about 450 servers [22:50] * ComradeHaz` is on call for 4x4 response team - help out emergency services in poor weather [22:50] much more fun than server admin :D [22:51] i do that too, firefighter [22:51] we had a good stormy summer this year [22:51] Oooh, funkeh [22:52] Aye, thing is we only have to do the fun stuff [22:52] not actually an emergency service, they just call us if they need our (vehicles) help [22:52] So we drive the police about in the snow and tow ambulances out of mud if they get stuck in a field etc etc [22:53] ahhhh [22:53] have the fun is running code [22:54] Anyway, just writing an ubuntu image to disc [22:54] I'm betting I'll get no video but get drums [22:54] you writing it at the slowest speed? [22:54] Nope, running varify. [22:54] *verify [22:54] goodluck with that [22:55] * ComradeHaz` has good discs and good burner. [23:02] Right. [23:02] * ComradeHaz` has drums but no video. [23:02] Time to pop over to general Ubuntu? [23:08] hmmm [23:08] take out the video card [23:09] Hmm. [23:10] yeah, I have the card that was originally in this box [23:12] well just pull it, and use the on board [23:12] hmm how do i configure an IR remote? [23:12] Well, teh onboard is no good to me [23:13] I require hdmi output [23:13] (not using that atm, btw) [23:13] well if you want to troubleshoot you have to do it [23:15] Oh, sure. [23:15] On it. [23:17] Internal card working. [23:18] *Onboard [23:18] So somehow this motherboard disagrees with this GPU?! [23:20] :) [23:20] see we are getting somewhere [23:21] only place I know I am getting is sad. [23:30] put the other card back in, go to bios and disable on board [23:30] Done. [23:32] wondered if I might be marginal on PSU power, so tried unplugging hdd [23:32] no help [23:37] does it have its own power? [23:38] Nope. [23:38] It's only a little fanless GT210 [23:38] ahh ok [23:39] This is bloody wierd [23:39] Never seeen anything like this. [23:39] What is different between the latter part of teh boot and that menu? [23:40] Further, how come I could boot to the frontend and it only fall over when I tried to play those iso images. [23:41] 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. [23:47] no clue [23:53] * ComradeHaz` went foraging in the kitchen for something to cheer him up [23:54] * 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 [23:55] well, now if i can only figure out my IR remote.... [23:55] In what regard? [23:56] 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 [23:57] Think that's just in frontend options
