[01:46] <qwebirc65447> hi guys
[01:46] <SomeRandomDude88> Hello
[01:46] <SomeRandomDude88> I'm having trouble figuring out what MythBuntu actually is.
[01:47] <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?
[05:28] <rumblebumble> Hey Everyone
[05:32] <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
[05:37] <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.
[05:42] <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.
[05:54] <DarthFrog> Mythfrontend is refusing to run because it can't suspend pulseaudio, "access denied".  Is there a HOW-TO on getting around this?
[05:59] <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?
[06:06] <DarthFrog> Whatever is installed in 10.10.
[06:06] <DarthFrog> i.e. sudo apt-get install mythtvfrontend. :-)
[06:07] <DarthFrog> I'm trying what is suggested in: http://owened.net/2009/11/03/mythbuntu-9-10-pulseaudio-iec958-spdif
[06:08] <Zinn> [owened.net] if it's owən  » Blog Archive   » Mythbuntu 9.10 + PulseAudio + IEC958 (S/PDIF)
[06:16] <DarthFrog> Well, that allowed MythFrontend to run. :-)
[06:16] <DarthFrog> Now to see if I can have sound, too.
[06:21] <DarthFrog> Nope, no sound. :-(   Tried all the sound output settings (except digital) in Settings.
[06:29] <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.
[06:30] <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
[06:31] <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
[06:33] <DarthFrog> Yes.  Mythfrontend.real is SUID.
[06:33] <superm1> um suid?  why?
[06:34] <DarthFrog> As a quick fix attempt to get sound working in Mythfrontend.  I thought it might get me around the "access denied" problem.
[06:35] <DarthFrog> It didn't.
[06:36] <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. :-)
[06:37] <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
[06:38] <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.
[06:39] <DarthFrog> What're the name of the cookies?
[06:39] <DarthFrog> .pulse*   I presume?
[06:39] <superm1> .pulse-cookie is the cookie
[06:40] <DarthFrog> Yes, pulse-cookie is 600.
[06:45] <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.
[06:47] <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. :-)
[06:49] <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)
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <superm1> if kubuntu-desktop pulled it in, it's probably for a good reason
[06:58] <DarthFrog> re
[06:59] <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. :-)
[07:00] <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.
[08:03] <qwebirc25188> hello
[08:03] <qwebirc25188> who
[08:03] <qwebirc25188> ?
[08:20] <qwebirc25188> Is this the right place to ask question re mythuntu 10.04?
