| SomeRandomDude88 | Hello | 01:46 |
| SomeRandomDude88 | I'm having trouble figuring out what MythBuntu actually is. | 01:46 |
| SomeRandomDude88 | I need two things really: Something to install on my server where are my files are that will broadcast the video files. | 01:47 |
| SomeRandomDude88 | ANd also a pretty GUI to install on client machines. | 01:47 |
| SomeRandomDude88 | Is Mythbuntu right for this? | 01:47 |
| rumblebumble | Hey Everyone | 05:28 |
| rumblebumble | I recently upgraded my Mythbuntu system to 0.24 because I was having some problem channel changing. 0.24 is awesome. I just have one problem. My system no longer tunes to the correct channel when recording a schedules recording. The system will tune the correct channel when I watch livetv. I have 2 HD-PVR. Any help/suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks | 05:32 |
| rumblebumble | I have tired reloading my channels from schedules direct, it had no effect. I took a look at the backend logs but nothing looked out of the ordinary. | 05:37 |
| rumblebumble | I also noticed that there seems to be some inconsistency when using the OSD. Say I am watching channel 431. If I press the up button on the remote, normally, the OSD would display the contents of channel 432. Weirdly sometimes the OSD will start at channel 2 instead. I am not sure if it designed to function this way but it seems peculiar. | 05:42 |
| DarthFrog | Mythfrontend is refusing to run because it can't suspend pulseaudio, "access denied". Is there a HOW-TO on getting around this? | 05:54 |
| rumblebumble | I think I may have ran into this before when I built mythtv without pulse audio support, what version of myth are you using? | 05:59 |
| DarthFrog | Whatever is installed in 10.10. | 06:06 |
| DarthFrog | i.e. sudo apt-get install mythtvfrontend. :-) | 06:06 |
| DarthFrog | I'm trying what is suggested in: http://owened.net/2009/11/03/mythbuntu-9-10-pulseaudio-iec958-spdif | 06:07 |
| Zinn | [owened.net] if it's owən » Blog Archive » Mythbuntu 9.10 + PulseAudio + IEC958 (S/PDIF) | 06:08 |
| DarthFrog | Well, that allowed MythFrontend to run. :-) | 06:16 |
| DarthFrog | Now to see if I can have sound, too. | 06:16 |
| DarthFrog | Nope, no sound. :-( Tried all the sound output settings (except digital) in Settings. | 06:21 |
| superm1 | you are referring to standard ubuntu (eg gnome) right? mythbuntu proper won't include pulseaudio | 06:29 |
| superm1 | if this machine is only being used for myth purposes, I would recommend you do that instead | 06:29 |
| DarthFrog | I'm running Kubuntu Maverick. | 06:29 |
| DarthFrog | It's my desktop machine. The myth backend machine is elsewhere. | 06:30 |
| superm1 | kubuntu shouldn't be using pulseaudio afaik.. did something else you installed pull it in? | 06:30 |
| superm1 | oh wait, it looks like it's a depends for kubuntu-desktop for 10.10 these days | 06:30 |
| superm1 | it used to not be used there | 06:30 |
| DarthFrog | Pulseaudio is the default in Kubuntu now. Not sure if that is because it is the default in upstream KDE or not. | 06:31 |
| DarthFrog | This is as of 10.10. | 06:31 |
| superm1 | you are running myth as the same user you are logged into KDE with right? and it's a standard desktopy user | 06:31 |
| DarthFrog | Yes. Mythfrontend.real is SUID. | 06:33 |
| superm1 | um suid? why? | 06:33 |
| DarthFrog | As a quick fix attempt to get sound working in Mythfrontend. I thought it might get me around the "access denied" problem. | 06:34 |
| DarthFrog | It didn't. | 06:35 |
| superm1 | and otherwise right now audio is working in kubuntu as this same user? | 06:36 |
| DarthFrog | It seems to be. Elvis was just singing about his blude suede shoes. :-) | 06:36 |
| superm1 | well that's quite peculiar then, are the permissions on the cookies for pulseaudio in your home directory set wrong somehow? | 06:37 |
| superm1 | that's what pulse uses to determine who can play on the user's pulse session daemon | 06:37 |
| superm1 | or in this case request the daemon to suspend | 06:38 |
| superm1 | permissions should be -rw------- user:user | 06:38 |
| DarthFrog | I'm about to add my username to /etc/groups/pulse-access and pulse-rt. | 06:38 |
| DarthFrog | What're the name of the cookies? | 06:39 |
| DarthFrog | .pulse* I presume? | 06:39 |
| superm1 | .pulse-cookie is the cookie | 06:39 |
| DarthFrog | Yes, pulse-cookie is 600. | 06:40 |
| DarthFrog | Hmm, if I select any ALSA as output, mythfrontend says "no such device". If I select Pulseaudio:Default as output, there's no complaints but also no sound. | 06:45 |
| superm1 | do you perhaps have apparmor enabled with some sort of overzealous profile? | 06:47 |
| DarthFrog | Whatever comes as default. I've not twiddled with it. Don't understand it. :-) | 06:47 |
| DarthFrog | However sound is no longer working on my system for some reason. ??? When I go to check sound settings in SystemSettings, now all there is is pulseaudio. The other devices have disappeared. | 06:49 |
| superm1 | did you revert http://owened.net/2009/11/03/mythbuntu-9-10-pulseaudio-iec958-spdif stuff you did there? | 06:49 |
| Zinn | [owened.net] if it's owən » Blog Archive » Mythbuntu 9.10 + PulseAudio + IEC958 (S/PDIF) | 06:49 |
| superm1 | i would be wary of some of that with a current pulseaudio | 06:50 |
| DarthFrog | I just did a dist-upgrade and a new kernel & pulseaudio were installed. | 06:50 |
| DarthFrog | Maybe I should reboot and get the new kernel running. | 06:50 |
| DarthFrog | I'm tempted to rip out pulseaudio. The flaming thing has never worked. | 06:50 |
| superm1 | probably a good idea | 06:50 |
| superm1 | *reboot that is, not ripping out pulse | 06:50 |
| DarthFrog | BBIAB | 06:50 |
| superm1 | if kubuntu-desktop pulled it in, it's probably for a good reason | 06:51 |
| DarthFrog | re | 06:58 |
| DarthFrog | Got it working. Trouble was a combo of muted output (??? where did that happen?) and no working output device selected in pulseaudio. Setting the X-Fi Analog as the fallback device resulted in a sudden deafening. :-) | 06:59 |
| DarthFrog | And sound now works in Myth, using PulseAudio:default. | 07:00 |
| DarthFrog | I now know more about pulseaudio than I ever expected or wanted to. | 07:00 |
| DarthFrog | :-) | 07:00 |
| DarthFrog | THanks for your help. | 07:00 |
