| dyates | Hi all, I'm struggling to get Mythbuntu 10.10 to work with my HVR2250 card. Anybody been successful with this yet? It may boil down to a problem with the 2.6.35 kernel :( | 01:50 |
|---|---|---|
| dyates | Toth's code won't compile on 2.6.35 for a number of reasons, it seems to be missing backwards compatibility for usb_buffer_free, as well as another problem once I fixed all those headers | 01:54 |
| dyates | the specific error I get is in dvb_net.c, line 1197: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type | 02:05 |
| dyates | seems to be a problem with struct net_device being different in 2.6.35 | 02:05 |
| dyates | Here's more specifics: http://pastebin.com/JuR7hMRE | 02:07 |
| dyates | k guess i'm going back to 10.04 | 02:28 |

| qwebirc7974 | how do it install desktop in mythbuntu 10.10 | 16:52 |
| qwebirc92665 | n | 16:54 |
| qwebirc92665 | How do I install a desktop in mythbuntu 10.10 | 16:55 |
| Stradenko | Recently moved to 10.10 and I'm having trouble playing back un-transcoded recordings from a pchdtv capture. .xsession-errors logs a bunch of " [mpeg2video @ 0x73ae120]mpeg_decode_postinit() failure" messages before crashing. Has anyone else experienced this? | 17:44 |
| gregL | Stradenko: Are you using vapau? If so are you using the slim profile? | 17:53 |
| Stradenko | libvdpau1 is installed, but how can I tell if it's active/in use? | 17:54 |
| gregL | just a second | 17:54 |
| Stradenko | "Utilities -> Setup -> TV Settings -> Playback -> Playback Profiles (3/8)" ... I'm set to "CPU+" | 17:57 |
| gregL | Stradenko, go into setup on the frontend..Then TV setings,then playback.then page 3 of 8.. Cycle through the setting for playback profiles.. Choose slim vdpau.. | 17:58 |
| Stradenko | Setting to slim seems to have fixed the playback issue. | 17:59 |
| gregL | vdpau or just slim | 17:59 |
| Stradenko | vpdau slim | 17:59 |
| Stradenko | Why is that? | 18:00 |
| gregL | cool you should be good to go... | 18:00 |
| gregL | vdpau off loads to the gpu.. | 18:00 |
| Stradenko | So it's a performance thing? | 18:01 |
| gregL | Yes, If you use vdpau,you can use a lesser CPU... | 18:01 |
| Stradenko | Odd, since I've never had a problem before. Although, mythcommflag is running on 1 core this morning...but still. 2.3GHz should be enough to decode broadcast 720p mpeg2, shouldn't it? | 18:03 |
| Stradenko | Not to be argumentative, just trying to ensure I understand. | 18:03 |
| gregL | No I didn't think you were.. Do a google search for vdpau and it can explain it better than I can... | 18:04 |
| Stradenko | I appreciate the help. Now if I can only get the nvidia-current module to load on boot, I'll be set. | 18:05 |
| gregL | I was lucky,I didn't have that problem... Mine just worked...Did you upgrade or fresh install?? | 18:06 |
| Stradenko | all upgrades since Dapper or so. | 18:07 |
| Stradenko | It worked fine in Karmic, but Lucid broke it... | 18:08 |
| Stradenko | Or maybe I broke it trying to deal with the nvidia vs. nouveau situation. | 18:09 |
| Stradenko | but as it stands, a modprobe nvidia-current works fine, but the boot process wants to load "nvidia.ko" which doesn't seem to exist anywhere. | 18:09 |
| gregL | I never really had any luck with upgrades....This is a myth only box so I just drop the Database and reinstall..It usually take about 2 hours... | 18:09 |
| gregL | Maybe that is left over from a previous install.. | 18:10 |
| Stradenko | the simple fix of adding nvidia-current to /etc/modules doesn't help either. Maybe I should reinstall sometime, but I have / on software raid5 and I only half-remember how I got all that setup. :) | 18:11 |
| gregL | Yeah, I make notes on every thing I do....My memory isn't as good as it used to be...Getting old... | 18:12 |
| Stradenko | I try to on the unusual stuff. raid5 was the best thing I've ever done, 'though. I've been through 3 drive failures so far. | 18:13 |
| Stradenko | Anyway, thanks again for the help. It's time to go make some active use of it. | 18:14 |
| gregL | I never set up raid...It's just a tv box...I do have 5 drives,but they are a hodge podge...Yeah good luck.. | 18:15 |
| qwebirc92665 | I just did a fresh install of 10.10 and I don't see where to add the desktop...I saw a page that said I *COULD* add it, but don't see how | 19:27 |
| mrand | add which desktop? | 19:38 |
| qwebirc92665 | well...I would like gnome | 19:46 |
| qwebirc92665 | but, i don't see how to add any | 19:46 |
| qwebirc92665 | I think gnome is the one standard installed with 8.04, etc? | 19:46 |
| mrand | There are two ways to add it to a fresh mythbuntu install: via a package manager, or mythbuntu-control-centre | 19:50 |
| mrand | ubuntu-desktop is gnome | 19:54 |
| qwebirc92665 | I have looked through menus | 19:59 |
| qwebirc92665 | for control center.. that is what the web page referred to...but I don't see it | 19:59 |
| qwebirc92665 | and how would I use a package manager... | 20:01 |
| qwebirc92665 | I don't see a way to get to a terminal | 20:01 |
| qwebirc92665 | either | 20:01 |
| qwebirc92665 | I have media library, manage recordings, info center, optical disks, watchtv, utilities/setup | 20:01 |
| mrand | qwebirc92665: ah, ok - you're within mythtv righ tnow | 20:03 |
| qwebirc92665 | ok | 20:03 |
| mrand | right now. You need to exit mythtv to get to the underlying linux system. Or ssh into that box | 20:03 |
| mrand | and do it via text. | 20:03 |
| qwebirc92665 | I don't know where I am...but it looks awesome wherever I am... | 20:03 |
| mrand | heheh | 20:03 |
| qwebirc92665 | I tried to exit last night and it hung | 20:03 |
| qwebirc92665 | Do you really want to exit MythTV... | 20:04 |
| mrand | hmmm.... when you tried to exit the mythtv menu? It should have taken you to a desktop, with a very small menu across the top. | 20:04 |
| mrand | You can say yes to that. | 20:04 |
| mrand | depending on the overscan, I suppose it's possible you can't see the menu along the top. | 20:04 |
| mrand | after you exit | 20:05 |
| qwebirc92665 | No/Yes, Exit now | 20:05 |
| qwebirc92665 | selected Yes | 20:05 |
| mrand | ok | 20:05 |
| qwebirc92665 | now hung on that screen | 20:05 |
| mrand | bizarro | 20:05 |
| qwebirc92665 | my luck | 20:05 |
| mrand | what computer are you typing on righ tnow? | 20:06 |
| qwebirc92665 | ok ok ok | 20:06 |
| qwebirc92665 | I got something | 20:06 |
| qwebirc92665 | i just started hitting keys i got a menu | 20:06 |
| mrand | If you're just going to be using this for myth, why bother installing gnome? | 20:06 |
| qwebirc92665 | settings accessories multimedia | 20:06 |
| qwebirc92665 | i won't be using it just for that... | 20:07 |
| mrand | there you go. | 20:07 |
| mrand | ok | 20:07 |
| qwebirc92665 | It may be months before I figure out how to use myth...wanted a working maching while I figured it out | 20:07 |
| qwebirc92665 | :) | 20:07 |
| qwebirc92665 | page underneatch is still the locked screen but I have a mouse now | 20:07 |
| qwebirc92665 | sweet... | 20:08 |
| qwebirc92665 | got synaptic | 20:08 |
| mrand | that's strange. Anyway, the easy way to add gnome is to use mythbuntu control centre. Second easiest way is syantpic. | 20:08 |
| qwebirc92665 | gnome: Depends:swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed | 20:10 |
| qwebirc92665 | synaptic not working as per above reason... | 20:10 |
| qwebirc92665 | control center attempt ensuing? | 20:11 |
| mrand | I would think control centre would likely have the same problem... I'd switch to googling that message. | 20:11 |
| qwebirc92665 | ok...will do...I closed synaptic and black screened maching | 20:11 |
| qwebirc92665 | e | 20:11 |
| mrand | I'll bet overscan is preventing you from seeing the menu bar along the top. | 20:12 |
| mrand | qwebirc92665: check out bug 542404 | 20:12 |
| Zinn | Bug 542404 in meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) "Package "gnome" is uninstallable due to conflicting dependencies on epiphany and swfdec-mozilla" [Low, Confirmed] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/542404 | 20:12 |
| qwebirc92665 | I appreciate your help, thus far...but right now I'm bricked... | 20:13 |
| mrand | changing repo's seemed to fix it for at least one user. | 20:13 |
| qwebirc92665 | will check on bug | 20:13 |
| mrand | you're at a blank screen. alt-tab take you to anything? | 20:13 |
| qwebirc92665 | ok...I haven't done anything with repositories yet...couldn't figure out how to get out of tv...as was booting into tv... | 20:14 |
| qwebirc92665 | no...alt tab fails | 20:14 |
| mrand | keyboard might be useful if you can't reach the menu bar with your mouse: http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.0/manuals/xfwm4#wm-keybindings | 20:14 |
| Zinn | [www.xfce.org] Xfce - Window Manager | 20:14 |
| qwebirc92665 | that's probably what I hit accidentally earlier | 20:14 |
| qwebirc92665 | no keyboard input working just black screen going to have to hard reset | 20:15 |
| qwebirc92665 | crud...just got it unstuck I think right as I hit pwr but | 20:16 |
| mrand | heh or maybe it was the button press that unstuck it. | 20:16 |
| qwebirc92665 | That was also a thought...who knows | 20:16 |
| qwebirc92665 | this window is busy and not responding do you want to terminate the app myth tv front end | 20:18 |
| qwebirc92665 | yes | 20:18 |
| mrand | sure. | 20:18 |
| qwebirc92665 | still haven't figured out what series of keystrokes is getting me out of that...much fun | 20:19 |
| qwebirc92665 | now where is control center? | 20:19 |
| mrand | next time try alt+f1 or alt+f2. Control centre should be in one of the menus ... um, system? gotta go look | 20:19 |
| qwebirc92665 | I seem to think it was f but then could not recreat | 20:20 |
| qwebirc92665 | will try alt next inevitable time | 20:20 |
| qwebirc92665 | now I understand why you asked why I wanted to install gnome...because it does have a desktop | 20:20 |
| qwebirc92665 | from what I could see there was no desktop, earlier... | 20:20 |
| qwebirc92665 | just the tv menus | 20:20 |
| mrand | yeah... different people handle the system differently. It was decided long ago that mythbuntu would be treated more like a "install and forget it" appliance. Well, as install and forget as myth / linux can be, anyway. | 20:22 |
| qwebirc92665 | installing updates...maybe will fix some issues | 20:22 |
| mrand | sorry... back after while. | 20:23 |
| qwebirc92665 | no problem...take care... | 20:23 |
