[01:46] hi guys === qwebirc65447 is now known as SomeRandomDude88 [01:46] Hello [01:46] I'm having trouble figuring out what MythBuntu actually is. [01:47] I need two things really: Something to install on my server where are my files are that will broadcast the video files. [01:47] ANd also a pretty GUI to install on client machines. [01:47] Is Mythbuntu right for this? [05:28] Hey Everyone [05:32] 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 [05:37] 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. [05:42] 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. [05:54] Mythfrontend is refusing to run because it can't suspend pulseaudio, "access denied". Is there a HOW-TO on getting around this? [05:59] I think I may have ran into this before when I built mythtv without pulse audio support, what version of myth are you using? [06:06] Whatever is installed in 10.10. [06:06] i.e. sudo apt-get install mythtvfrontend. :-) [06:07] I'm trying what is suggested in: http://owened.net/2009/11/03/mythbuntu-9-10-pulseaudio-iec958-spdif [06:08] [owened.net] if it's owən » Blog Archive » Mythbuntu 9.10 + PulseAudio + IEC958 (S/PDIF) [06:16] Well, that allowed MythFrontend to run. :-) [06:16] Now to see if I can have sound, too. [06:21] Nope, no sound. :-( Tried all the sound output settings (except digital) in Settings. [06:29] you are referring to standard ubuntu (eg gnome) right? mythbuntu proper won't include pulseaudio [06:29] if this machine is only being used for myth purposes, I would recommend you do that instead [06:29] I'm running Kubuntu Maverick. [06:30] It's my desktop machine. The myth backend machine is elsewhere. [06:30] kubuntu shouldn't be using pulseaudio afaik.. did something else you installed pull it in? [06:30] oh wait, it looks like it's a depends for kubuntu-desktop for 10.10 these days [06:30] it used to not be used there [06:31] Pulseaudio is the default in Kubuntu now. Not sure if that is because it is the default in upstream KDE or not. [06:31] This is as of 10.10. [06:31] you are running myth as the same user you are logged into KDE with right? and it's a standard desktopy user [06:33] Yes. Mythfrontend.real is SUID. [06:33] um suid? why? [06:34] As a quick fix attempt to get sound working in Mythfrontend. I thought it might get me around the "access denied" problem. [06:35] It didn't. [06:36] and otherwise right now audio is working in kubuntu as this same user? [06:36] It seems to be. Elvis was just singing about his blude suede shoes. :-) [06:37] well that's quite peculiar then, are the permissions on the cookies for pulseaudio in your home directory set wrong somehow? [06:37] that's what pulse uses to determine who can play on the user's pulse session daemon [06:38] or in this case request the daemon to suspend [06:38] permissions should be -rw------- user:user [06:38] I'm about to add my username to /etc/groups/pulse-access and pulse-rt. [06:39] What're the name of the cookies? [06:39] .pulse* I presume? [06:39] .pulse-cookie is the cookie [06:40] Yes, pulse-cookie is 600. [06:45] 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. [06:47] do you perhaps have apparmor enabled with some sort of overzealous profile? [06:47] Whatever comes as default. I've not twiddled with it. Don't understand it. :-) [06:49] 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] did you revert http://owened.net/2009/11/03/mythbuntu-9-10-pulseaudio-iec958-spdif stuff you did there? [06:49] [owened.net] if it's owən » Blog Archive » Mythbuntu 9.10 + PulseAudio + IEC958 (S/PDIF) [06:50] i would be wary of some of that with a current pulseaudio [06:50] I just did a dist-upgrade and a new kernel & pulseaudio were installed. [06:50] Maybe I should reboot and get the new kernel running. [06:50] I'm tempted to rip out pulseaudio. The flaming thing has never worked. [06:50] probably a good idea [06:50] *reboot that is, not ripping out pulse [06:50] BBIAB [06:51] if kubuntu-desktop pulled it in, it's probably for a good reason [06:58] re [06:59] 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. :-) [07:00] And sound now works in Myth, using PulseAudio:default. [07:00] I now know more about pulseaudio than I ever expected or wanted to. [07:00] :-) [07:00] THanks for your help. [08:03] hello [08:03] who [08:03] ? [08:20] Is this the right place to ask question re mythuntu 10.04?
