[01:50] <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 :(
[01:54] <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
[02:05] <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
[02:07] <dyates> Here's more specifics:  http://pastebin.com/JuR7hMRE
[02:28] <dyates> k guess i'm going back to 10.04
[04:40] <hanfm> hey everybody, can someone tell me, where to get viualisations for screening when i play music?
[16:52] <qwebirc7974> noobuntu, here...
[16:52] <qwebirc7974> how do it install desktop in mythbuntu 10.10
[16:54] <qwebirc92665> n
[16:55] <qwebirc92665> How do I install a desktop in mythbuntu 10.10
[17:44] <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?
[17:53] <gregL> Stradenko: Are you using vapau? If so are you using the slim profile?
[17:54] <Stradenko> libvdpau1 is installed, but how can I tell if it's active/in use?
[17:54] <gregL> just a second
[17:57] <Stradenko>  "Utilities -> Setup -> TV Settings -> Playback -> Playback Profiles (3/8)"  ... I'm set to "CPU+"
[17:58] <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..
[17:59] <Stradenko> Setting to slim seems to have fixed the playback issue.
[17:59] <gregL> vdpau or just slim
[17:59] <Stradenko> vpdau slim
[18:00] <Stradenko> Why is that?
[18:00] <gregL> cool you should be good to go...
[18:00] <gregL> vdpau off loads to the gpu..
[18:01] <Stradenko> So it's a performance thing?
[18:01] <gregL> Yes, If you use vdpau,you can use a lesser CPU...
[18:03] <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.
[18:04] <gregL> No I didn't think you were.. Do a google search for vdpau and it can explain it better than I can...
[18:05] <Stradenko> I appreciate the help.  Now if I can only get the nvidia-current module to load on boot, I'll be set.
[18:06] <gregL> I was lucky,I didn't have that problem... Mine just worked...Did you upgrade or fresh install??
[18:07] <Stradenko> all upgrades  since Dapper or so.
[18:08] <Stradenko> It worked fine in Karmic, but Lucid broke it...
[18:09] <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...
[18:10] <gregL> Maybe that is left over from a previous install..
[18:11] <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. :)
[18:12] <gregL> Yeah, I make notes on every thing I do....My memory isn't as good as it used to be...Getting old...
[18:13] <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.
[18:14] <Stradenko> Anyway, thanks again for the help.  It's time to go make some active use of it.
[18:15] <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..
[19:27] <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
[19:38] <mrand> add which desktop?
[19:46] <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?
[19:50] <mrand> There are two ways to add it to a fresh mythbuntu install: via a package manager, or mythbuntu-control-centre
[19:54] <mrand> ubuntu-desktop is gnome
[19:59] <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
[20:01] <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
[20:03] <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
[20:04] <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.
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <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
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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.
[20:10] <qwebirc92665> gnome: Depends:swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
[20:10] <qwebirc92665> synaptic not working as per above reason...
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <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?
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <qwebirc92665> no keyboard input working just black screen going to have to hard reset
[20:16] <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
[20:18] <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.
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <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
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <mrand> sorry... back after while.
[20:23] <qwebirc92665> no problem...take care...
