[00:40] <Crankygeek> Hi, I am in the middle of configuring a mythbuntu box, with a Hauppauge HD PVR. I am at the point where it has just populated the mythtvdatabase, does anyone here have some time to help me with the rest of the setup from this point forward? I am stuck at trying to figure out what channel changing scripts I may need.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....
[02:26] <Crankygeek> I have upgraded my video card to an nVidia 210 with hdmi output, I do not get any audio now, any ideas what I can do to get that fixed up?
[02:26] <joat> just getting in...
[02:27] <joat> arg!!  sorry!
[02:28] <Crankygeek> I have upgraded my video card to an nVidia 210 with hdmi output, I do not get any audio now, any ideas what I can do to get that fixed up?
[02:57] <Shadow__X> Crankygeek: you have to select it as your audio source
[02:57] <Shadow__X> and stop being cranky that doesn't help anyone
[03:00] <Crankygeek> ok, I was told in another channel, that nVidia HDMI is not supported in ALSA yet, but It was reccomended that I buy this card because it works fine with Mythtv
[03:01] <Crankygeek> I tried selecting ALSA:HDMI
[03:01] <Crankygeek> No sound
[03:02] <Crankygeek> I also ran aplay -l and it only sees my Intel onboard sound card, not the nVidia
[03:05] <Shadow__X> did you install the drivers?
[03:05] <Shadow__X> and reboot? and check in the sound preferences if the card is listed
[03:05] <Shadow__X> other than checking in mythtv
[03:05] <Crankygeek> I am using the nVidia recommended drivers in mythbuntu
[03:07] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: does that card have its own sound on board, or is it a spdif jumper from the mobo?
[03:07] <Crankygeek> yes, it has it's own sound
[03:08] <Crankygeek> I tried it in a Windows machine and it worked fine  :(
[03:08] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: I believe that is not supported by alsa in the current mythbuntu/ubuntu
[03:08] <rhpot1991> but will be in the next release
[03:08] <Crankygeek> is there anything I can do to get it working now though?
[03:08] <rhpot1991> you could download the RC and try it
[03:08] <rhpot1991> or see if anyone has an upgraded alsa on a ppa
[03:09] <Shadow__X> rhpot1991: really? i have heard of other people using nvidia hdmi quite often
[03:09] <rhpot1991> Shadow__X: sound without a spdif jumper?
[03:09] <rhpot1991> mine has a spdif jumper that I use, so you are really just using the onboard sound
[03:09] <Crankygeek> I was told it was a good card to get because it worked well with mythbuntu
[03:09] <Shadow__X> yeah without the spdif jumper unless, i was mistaken
[03:09] <rhpot1991> from what I've heard from dan fry his card isn't supported but will be in the next release
[03:10] <rhpot1991> might want to google for more specifics, but that is the way I understood the current state
[03:10] <rhpot1991> I could be wrong
[03:10] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: might want to ask whoever told you to get that card how they have their audio on it working
[03:10] <rhpot1991> a forum post may point you in some better directions too
[03:10] <rhpot1991> !forum
[03:10] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about forum
[03:10] <rhpot1991> !forums
[03:10] <Zinn> The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301.  If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help.
[03:12] <Crankygeek> That's funny, I bought a bunch of equipment that they said I needed, and now I can't get an answer out of them as I try setting it all up
[03:12] <rhpot1991> who is they?
[03:13] <Crankygeek> A person in another channel
[03:13] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: well the sound issue isn't the end of the world
[03:13] <Crankygeek> true  :)
[03:14] <rhpot1991> if it doesn't work with the current alsa (verify I'm correct please, I may not be), then you can simply work around it for a few days by just using the onboard sound
[03:14] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: you can download the 10.10 RC and try that see if it helps
[03:14] <rhpot1991> also 10.10 is out in 4 days
[03:15] <rhpot1991> so thats not a bad move to start with that now anyways
[03:15] <rhpot1991> maybe 5 depending on where you live
[03:15] <rhpot1991> http://www.mythbuntu.org/10.10/rc
[03:16] <rhpot1991> gotta walk the dogs, dig some and I'll check back in a few
[03:16] <Crankygeek> ok
[03:17] <Crankygeek> SHould I stay away from Mythbuntu and go wirh a reg ubuntu install and add myth from the repositories?
[03:17] <Shadow__X> Crankygeek: it all depends on objective, level of comfort, and experience
[03:18] <Crankygeek> lol...I have none of any of those listed  :)
[03:18] <Shadow__X> might want to stick with mythbuntu then but also rtm that is going to really help with mythtv
[03:18] <Crankygeek> I am a Windows guy, Ubuntu is a new hobby for me, so I am still learning
[03:19] <Crankygeek> I have looked over forums for the past 4 days, and it's tuff there is no definitive guides, you need to peice things together from a bunch of different ones and hope you have your terminology correct....
[03:20] <Crankygeek> but I shall keep on reading
[03:21] <Crankygeek> This seems like just the start for me, I still have to figure out how channel changing works and what my best option for that is seeing I have a Directv setup at the house here
[03:22] <Shadow__X> Crankygeek: yeah i have heard some not so good things about directv setups
[03:23] <Shadow__X> afaik your best bet is lirc
[03:23] <Crankygeek> I was thinking the samething just try and get the ir blaster working with lirc seeing there are already scripts built for that
[03:24] <Shadow__X> yeah there should be
[03:24] <Crankygeek> but then I hear that serial to usb works better, but it's difficult to get working
[03:24] <Shadow__X> also depending on if its hd or not you might want to get an hdpvr so you can record hd
[03:25] <Crankygeek> I am using an HD PVR
[03:26] <Shadow__X> oh ok cool thats one step in the right direction that has ir blasters built in although, i am unsure if linux has support for them yet
[03:26] <Shadow__X> last time i check it did not
[03:27] <Crankygeek> Myth doesn't have it on their list of supported remotes, but I guess there are ways to get it working
[03:28] <Shadow__X> Crankygeek: you are checking here right http://www.mythtv.org/?
[03:28] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR
[03:28] <Shadow__X> !mythtv
[03:28] <Zinn> MythTV is a free Unix application which turns a computer with the necessary hardware into a network streaming digital video recorder, a digital multimedia home entertainment system, or Home Theater Personal Computer. It can be considered as a free and open source alternative to Tivo or Windows Media Center.
[03:29] <Shadow__X> check the wiki for currently supported things
[03:30] <Crankygeek> I am sure I looked at stuff there as well as google the hell out of mythtv and Directv
[03:30] <Zinn> Crankygeek: Please watch your language.
[03:30] <Crankygeek> Sorry
[03:32] <Shadow__X> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HDPVR#IR_Transmitter_Support
[03:32] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HD-PVR - MythTV
[03:32] <Shadow__X> so i guess it finally does
[03:40] <Crankygeek> is that for a different version that is preinstalled in mythbuntu?
[03:41] <Crankygeek> or is that for Mythdora?
[15:36] <Crankygeek> I am having some issues with setting up an HD PVR with lirc. I have been using a webpage that was pointed out to me last night by Shadow_X, but I am running into some problems at step 9. here is the link    http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HDPVR#Compile_Drivers_for_IR_Transmitter_Support
[15:36] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Hauppauge HD-PVR - MythTV
[15:37] <Crankygeek> That is what I have been following, but I am having a problem
[15:38] <Crankygeek> This is where  I am stuck:  Find and back up your existing LIRC modules lirc_dev.ko and lirc_zilog.ko.
[15:40] <Crankygeek> I don't seem to have a lirc_zilog.ko file, so the one that I compliled I put into the same location as the lirc_dev.ko file.
[15:41] <Crankygeek> so when I get onto step 12, I try to load the lirc_zilog using: sudo modprobe lirc_zilog, and I get a FATAL error stating that lirc_zilog can't be found
[15:44] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/500067
[15:44] <Zinn> [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #500067 in lirc (Ubuntu): âlirc_zilog not builtâ
[15:44] <rhpot1991> I would just install the 10.10 RC since it fixes a few of the issues you have
[15:45] <Crankygeek> is that a complete re-install, or is there a way to upgrade from mythbuntu 10.04?
[15:46] <rhpot1991> should be able to do sudo update-manager -d
[15:49] <Crankygeek> Off hand, do you know if 10.10 will support HDMI audio through the nVidia gt210 graphics cards?
[15:50] <rhpot1991> Crankygeek: I believe so, I was the one telling you yesterday that I thought so but you should check to be sure
