[00:00] <apothegm> ssh? :)
[00:02] <mrand> apothegm: I just found a duplicate bug, which contains a hack to work around the problem: Bug 480555
[00:02] <Zinn> Bug 480555 in lirc (Ubuntu) "No /var/run/lirc/lircd created, only /dev/lircd" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/480555
[00:04] <apothegm> he says IRW works for him. I just get cnonect refused
[00:04] <apothegm> I'll try that symbolic link though
[00:05] <apothegm> oh, wait. I don't even have a /dev/lircd
[00:11] <mrand> I wonder if this could somehow be related to upstart race condition stuff (bug 334414, 460027, 507142, etc)
[00:11] <Zinn> Bug 334414 in do-plugins "Do stops silently" [Undecided, Fix Released] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/334414
[00:15] <apothegm> DOH.
[00:16] <apothegm> START_LIRCD= was set to false
[00:16] <apothegm> now IRW is working
[00:17] <apothegm> but now I get nothing in frontend at all.  not even the arrow keys which used to work
[00:17] <mrand> so now go back and check your mapping(s)
[00:19] <apothegm> I'm using the sample file from the wiki article
[00:19] <apothegm> and IRW and the lircd.conf seem to match up. I only checked a few
[00:21] <apothegm> Do I have to enable LIRC in mythfrontend somewhere?
[00:23] <superm1> mythbuntu-lirc-generator would create lircrc conffiles for you
[00:23] <superm1> has it been ran?
[00:24] <superm1> (generate dynamic button mappings in MCC)
[00:24] <apothegm> alright I'll try it that way
[00:25] <apothegm> But I have to select a remote
[00:25] <apothegm> and mine is not listed
[00:25] <superm1> run the command by hand then
[00:25] <apothegm> so how do I do that?
[00:25] <superm1> it will use the contents of /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to generate it
[00:25] <apothegm> command?
[00:25] <superm1> mythbuntu-lirc-generator
[00:26] <apothegm> no options?
[00:27] <apothegm> WHOOHOO!
[00:28] <apothegm> had to create a .lirc in my home directory apparently
[00:28] <apothegm> Thanks for all the help!
[00:38] <mrand> apothegm: cool!  Could you update that bug with details on how you fix it (what you changed and where you changed it?)
[00:39] <apothegm> well the only thing I had to do was change START_LIRCD="false" to ="true" inside hardware.conf
[00:40] <apothegm> Shouldn't checking off "linux infrared remote control (lirc) support" in MCC do this?
[00:41] <apothegm> Now I have the problem that the keymappings dont' tie anything on my remote to the "menu" bottom (normally M on the keyboard)
[01:27] <Pwen> hi all. I am trying to login to the mythbuntu site using openid, but it keeps telling me my openid is invalid, despite the fact that I am currently logged into launchpad.net with it. any ideas?

[01:30] <Pwen> nevermind ... you have to copy the username from launchpad.net as https://launchpad.net/~yourname

[01:31] <mrand> tgm4883 or rhpot1991 - see apothegm's last couple of comments.
[01:48] <Pwen> does mythlcdserver print a logfile to anywhere?
[01:49] <tgm4883> mrand, I assume you are talking about the ="true" setting inside hardware.conf?
[01:49] <tgm4883> in which case, mine is set to true already
[01:52] <mrand> tgm4883: but his wasn't.
[01:54] <tgm4883> mrand, I see
[01:55] <tgm4883> mrand, mine is a fresh 10.04 install too updated though
[01:58] <mrand> hmm.
[03:00] <rhpot1991> #Enable lircd
[03:00] <rhpot1991> START_LIRCD="true"
[03:00] <rhpot1991> mine is pretty tweaked though so I dunno what was generated and what wasn't
[15:13] <crankygeek> I am in the process of setting up a Mythbuntu system, I am using a Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212....I am outputting to a 46" Sony Bravia XBR HDTV. The problem I have is that when I use a 15 RGB cable the screen size at 1920x1080 is perfect, but as soon as I change it over to a HDMI cable the desktop and mythtv front end get streched out off the edges of the screen, changing the resolution does not seem to help at all, no matter what r
[15:48] <rhpot1991> crankygeek: its called overscan
[15:48] <rhpot1991> and normal for HDMI
[15:55] <mrand> Unless you have a model that allows you to turn it off ;-)
[15:55] <Shadow__X> isnt there an option of tv's to just do 1:1 or is the issue on the computer side
[15:58] <rhpot1991> Shadow__X: crankygeek you can normally do it on your TV and thats the best solution
[15:58] <rhpot1991> normally the TV will turn it off for VGA ports
[15:59] <Shadow__X> rhpot1991: are you saying that i am right?
[15:59] <rhpot1991> for HDMI on my TV it has to be in the first port and then I have to adjust the "display mode" I believe
[15:59] <rhpot1991> Shadow__X: yep you do it on the tv
[16:00] <rhpot1991> I have another TV that it isn't possible to adjust too
[16:00] <rhpot1991> so it all depends on your TV
[16:00] <Shadow__X> yeah there are display modes on most if not every tv i have seen and the stretching occurs because the mode is off. Once you select the display mode that correctlates to 1:1 then it should be god
[16:00] <rhpot1991> personally I leave it on, so you don't see the crap on the edges of the broadcast that isn't meant to be seen anyways
[16:01] <rhpot1991> the only time you really miss it is if you are out of mythtv and looking for the menu, even then just push top left and click till something shows up
[16:10] <crankygeek> Thanks for all the input, I will play around with that when I get home today, once I fugure that out, then maybe I can move onto actually getting MythTV up and running with DirecTV, I have found some guides on it but they all seem to be lacking information on the actual setup.
[16:13] <crankygeek> And with me being a noob on this tv stuff, I was kinda of looking for a simple walkthrough with setting up the remote and stuff, but I have not run into anything or anyone that is using the same type of setup that I am using, even though it seems to be a common configuration...
[16:18] <rhpot1991> crankygeek: all depends on your hardware, you will need to setup a lineup with schedulesdirect.org and then setup your HDPVR in mythtv-setup
[16:18] <Zinn> [schedulesdirect.org] Schedules Direct
[16:18] <rhpot1991> you will need to IR blast, and I have no idea how to do that
[16:18] <rhpot1991> and then your remote all depends on what kind it is, hopefully its listed in mythbuntu control centre
[16:54] <crankygeek> Do you happen to know if there is a way to use the regular directv remote as opposed to the hauppauge remote?
[16:55] <crankygeek> or better yet whT I should use for a channel chaning script instead of using /bin/true  ?
[16:55] <rhpot1991> crankygeek: no idea what channel changer, google should be able to tell you something
[16:56] <rhpot1991> and doubtful on the remote, unless you can somehow tell it to use the same signals
[21:59] <pepsiman> hi, my computer is stuck on the mythbuntu splash screen. network, ssh, mythtv-backend are working. Xorg log ends "using VT number 8"
