[02:09] <tgm4883> tzanger, what about the link that says "Add to Existing Ubuntu Install" that is right on this page http://www.mythbuntu.org/download-type
[02:09] <tgm4883> does that work for you :)
[14:27] <tzanger> hmm, is there any way to get mythtv's upnp server to show not only recordings but videos that are on the server?
[14:27] <tzanger> should I set up mediatomb for that instead?
[14:36] <rhpot1991> ComradeH1z`: I've used it once
[20:43] <mrand> grrr.   So this weekend I realized I hadn't upgraded my production machine 10.04 (I think tgm4883 and I were having a mexican standoff on who could wait the longest)  I thought I had, but I guess I just strongly considered it and then didn't have time before go overseas (and I think the fact that 10.04.1 was weeks away factored into the decision).
[20:43] <mrand> Now that I'm back and the new release is about to come out, apparently I'm not supposed to upgrade to 10.04.1:   ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
[20:44] <tgm4883> mrand, you have to remove ubuntu-desktop
[20:44] <mrand> I don't want to.
[20:44] <tgm4883> superm1, ^
[20:45] <mrand> more properly, why should I?
[20:45]  * tgm4883 shrugs
[20:45] <tgm4883> I just know it works :)
[20:45] <tgm4883> i've seen other users report the same
[20:45] <superm1> do you have mythbuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop both installed?
[20:45] <tgm4883> removing ubuntu-desktop, then reinstalling ubuntu-desktop after upgrade
[20:46] <mrand> superm1: yes, I do have both installed.
[20:46] <superm1> sounds like an update-manager bug then
[20:46] <mrand> Yeah, sounds like the one I reported before 10.04 even got released.
[21:28] <splashd> I'm using the Hauppage HD-PVR wih Mythbuntu 10.04, recording 1080i and 720p. WOrks fine, but stores in h.264. I am using ION based frontends and VDPAU. Does anyone have anyone know how to solve an audio lag problem? I suspect it is because of underpowered decoding, but is there a config I can use to make it less overhead intensive to decode H.264?
[21:29] <rhpot1991> splashd: verified its using VDPAU?
[21:29] <rhpot1991> the ION frontned
[21:31] <splashd> yes--I've set to VDPAU Slim, works great for my HDHOmerun HD setup, just has audio lag on the HD-PVR stuff
[21:32] <rhpot1991> splashd: ION should run VDPAU Normal
[21:32] <rhpot1991> try that
[21:32] <rhpot1991> mine runs HD-PVR content just fine
[21:33] <rhpot1991> splashd: did you go into your ION's bios and increase the dedicated video memory?
[21:33] <rhpot1991> and what kind of network?
[21:33] <splashd> rhpot1991, I will try VDPAU normal again, but I think it caused stuttering last time  did that
[21:34] <splashd> I did not mess with BIOS--good suggestion
[21:34] <rhpot1991> should bump it in there, to 512 if you can
[21:34] <rhpot1991> 256 should do, but go 512 if you can
[21:34] <splashd> 100MB wired--again works fine with higher bitrate MPeg2 from HDhomerun
[21:34] <splashd> standby--I will try now
[21:34] <rhpot1991> may need to check that your bios is up todate if it wont let you set memory for video
[21:34] <rhpot1991> splashd: wired should be just fine
[21:35] <splashd> AFK
[21:47] <splashd> rhpot1991, This could take a while--a big mythbuntu update is downloading, so I'm waiting to reboot...I'll let you know if upping the buffering helps.
[21:47] <splashd> What did help a lot initially was updating to the latest Nvidia drivers
[22:03] <mrand> superm1: we thought we fixed the mythbuntu-desktop thing: Bug 554676
[22:03] <Zinn> Bug 554676 in mythbuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "8.04LTS->10.04LTS upgrade failed: 'mythbuntu-desktop' missing meta-pkg?" [High, Fix Released] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/554676
[22:12] <superm1> mrand, well it might be a similar manifestation of that
[23:20] <apothegm> I'm having issues getting my GYR3101 working via Lirc.  I followed the wiki instructions but something is awry.  IRW is saying connection refused.  lircd is giving me "lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid"
[23:34] <splashd> apothegm, make sure you look in /etc/lirc and confirm that there is both an lircd.conf and a hardware.conf, and that you're running lircd service
[23:35] <apothegm> yup
[23:36] <apothegm> I followed those wiki instructions EXACTLY.
[23:36] <mrand> I should break out my gyration remote and play with it.  I don't know if I'll have time tonight, but we'll see.  What version are you on, apothegm?
[23:36] <apothegm> I found some bug reports related to the "lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid" which suggested creating lirc under /var/run because it DID NOT exist.  after creating it I can run lircd from console, but it doesn't fix the problem
[23:37] <apothegm> Mythbuntu 10.04
[23:37] <apothegm> I think LIRC is broken
[23:37] <mrand> lirc in 10.04 probably isn't broken in general... to many people use that.
[23:38] <mrand> the bug reports related to the .pid file - where they on launchpad?
[23:42] <apothegm> mrand: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/474701/
[23:42] <Zinn> [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #474701 in lirc (Ubuntu): âCan't start lirc: "lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid"â
[23:47] <mrand> apothegm: interesting.  I may have to take back that it isn't broken in general, although I can't immediately explain why such few users would run into this problem.  I just looked on my 9.10 system (what the bug was originally opened again) and that directory exists.  I have a few test installs on different release versions I can check tonight.
[23:49] <apothegm> and if I reboot my mythbuntu 10.04 box, it removes /var/run/lirc
[23:51] <mrand> Is lircd supposed to create that every run?
[23:52] <mrand> kinda strange, I know.
[23:52] <mrand> superm1: ^
[23:52] <superm1> i think it does
[23:52] <mrand> actually, I think that may be the case...
[23:52] <mrand> everything in my /var/run is dated from the last reboot
[23:55] <mrand> apothegm: is lircd running?
[23:55] <apothegm> yes
[23:56] <apothegm> without lirc under /var/run, lircd from the console errors out
[23:56] <apothegm> and a reboot wipes that directory
[23:56] <apothegm> so I have to mkdir /var/run/lirc
[23:56] <apothegm> but it doesn't help me anyway
[23:57] <apothegm> I think I've officially spent too much time messing with this.  might just go the xmodmap route
[23:58] <mrand> apothegm: be sure to subscribe to that bug so that if anyone finds a solution, you'll be notified.
[23:59] <apothegm> anyone else have a 10.04 install that can test it?
[23:59] <tgm4883> I do, but i'm not at home
[23:59] <apothegm> this is practically a fresh copy of 10.04 from iso with little to no updates
