| IOU | hiya, has anyone had experience with mythbuntu-diskless-server and ubuntu 10.04-10.10 | 04:32 |
| baggar11 | tgm4883: is that functionality included somewhere else now? Just trying to track changes before updating... | 04:32 |
| IOU | im getting to IP-Config: eth0 hardware addres xxxxx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP | 04:34 |
| IOU | and from there, just hanging | 04:34 |

| tgm4883 | baggar11, you are going to need to refresh my memory with your question :) | 16:14 |
| tgm4883 | my backlog at work doesn't go back that far | 16:14 |
| baggar11 | tgm4883: was just asking why the mythbuntu control center didn't have the option for w32/64 codecs anymore. | 16:43 |
| tgm4883 | baggar11, nope it's not elsewhere. You don't usually need that anymore so it was removed | 16:45 |
| tgm4883 | there are some other reasons it was removed, but thats one of htem | 16:45 |
| baggar11 | no problems with video playback without them? | 16:47 |
| baggar11 | or do they silenting install with the dvd support option? | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | not unless you have some strange codecs | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | I haven't seen an issue | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | no, it does not install with dvd support | 16:47 |
| baggar11 | ok, thanks | 16:48 |
| baggar11 | Playing around with auto-builds on 10.10. I have a sole backend that doesn't test successfully for mysql in the mythbuntu control center. Was trying out 0.24. Have a separate frontend that lost connection to the backend too. Anyone come across this? | 17:18 |
| baggar11 | Just tried this with 10.04 and 0.24 auto-builds. Is there another step that needs to be done after the repository update/upgrade? | 18:33 |
| smudgeblot | Hey all...I am in need of some help. I'm an ultra-noob in regards to ubuntu (first time installing yesterday) and am trying to run mythtv. I got the backend set up with a tuner but as soon as I try to "Watch Live Tv" the screen goes black and reboots. I'm assuming it's my video card but don't know what to do. | 18:33 |
| baggar11 | 10.10 and 10.04 were all fresh installs too | 18:34 |
| smudgeblot | (I have an Nvidia 8400gs with current drivers and activated) | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: check your logs | 18:34 |
| smudgeblot | ok, like the mythfrontend.log? | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | odds are your tuner isn't setup correctly, or you have permissions problems | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | !logs | 18:34 |
| Zinn | MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ You can use mythbuntu-log-grabber from the Applications menu to automatically post the most relevant logs to our pastebin. | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: most likely backend logs here | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | if its the issues I think it is | 18:34 |
| rhpot1991 | what tuner? | 18:35 |
| smudgeblot | ok..ultra noob. which log exactly do I want to get? | 18:35 |
| smudgeblot | it's a Hauppauge 950q | 18:35 |
| rhpot1991 | check mythbackend.log | 18:35 |
| smudgeblot | what program do i need to install to open the logs. I tired firefox but it doesn't open | 18:36 |
| rhpot1991 | make sure that you have a valid starting channel set in mythtv-setup | 18:36 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991: first, how do I open the mythbackend.log, I double click and asks for a program. firefox wont open it | 18:38 |
| smudgeblot | ok, I have mythbackend.log open. What am I looking for? | 18:42 |
| rhpot1991 | I use vi myself from the command line | 18:43 |
| rhpot1991 | you may want to install nano if you aren't used to vi | 18:44 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: errors, warnings | 18:44 |
| dewman | smudgeblot, you might be better off to use the mythbuntu-log-grabber, this way it can post the log file to pastebin website. | 18:44 |
| rhpot1991 | also works ^ | 18:44 |
| rhpot1991 | then you can show us too | 18:44 |
| dewman | and then we can all see the log. =) | 18:44 |
| smudgeblot | ok, I did the mythbuntu-log-grabber | 18:44 |
| smudgeblot | now how do I show you guys? =) | 18:44 |
| dewman | ok did you select the backend log? | 18:45 |
| smudgeblot | yes | 18:45 |
| smudgeblot | I actually selected front and backend | 18:45 |
| smudgeblot | I clicked it twice so both are mine from about 4 mins ago | 18:46 |
| dewman | ok, so hit apply. | 18:46 |
| smudgeblot | Ok.. | 18:47 |
| dewman | this will post the logs to pastebin and it will also give you a log, copy the pastebin link to this channel. | 18:47 |
| smudgeblot | ah, the url | 18:47 |
| smudgeblot | http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/CfmyLyzP | 18:47 |
| dewman | yep. | 18:47 |
| smudgeblot | that is for the backend | 18:47 |
| savantelite_ | Smudgeblot, how is ashblot doing? Aceblots enjoyed cupcakes today:) | 18:49 |
| smudgeblot | =) Ah, I was just about to text you back | 18:50 |
| savantelite_ | tanks for cupcakes | 18:51 |
| qwebirc25048 | Anyone use, have experience with "Mythbuntu-bare, a backup/restore utility for your MythTV configuration files", or have a link to documentation? | 18:51 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc25048, whats your question? | 18:53 |
| smudgeblot | dewman: you can see my log, right? | 18:54 |
| dewman | smudgeblot, yep | 18:54 |
| smudgeblot | dewman: any ideas of what is wrong (if u need more time, no prob at all...i have no idea what to be looking for in it) | 18:55 |
| dewman | smudgeblot, eating meatloaf at the moment. =) | 18:56 |
| smudgeblot | ah, tasty | 18:56 |
| smudgeblot | so anyone else ever had that problem: connect tuner, get channels, open front end, start Live TV and just crashes (everytime). I'm at a loss | 19:00 |
| smudgeblot | Is this the right channel to find help with hardware issues for mythtv or is there somewhere else to go? | 19:03 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: | 19:04 |
| rhpot1991 | 2010-11-02 01:29:50.529 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Warning: Opening DVB frontend device failed. | 19:04 |

| rhpot1991 | your card isn't setup correctly | 19:04 |
| smudgeblot | I think I fixed that this morning (around 9 am MST) | 19:05 |
| smudgeblot | how would I check? | 19:05 |

| rhpot1991 | and we failed to find any suitible channels on any input. | 19:06 |
| rhpot1991 | make sure you have channels attached to the input, and make sure the starting channel is valid | 19:06 |
| smudgeblot | Ok, I do have a valid starting channel. That was this morning and then when I opened frontend to watch, it crashes | 19:07 |
| smudgeblot | I am deleting my card, reinstalling as DVB again, and rescan for channels and try it again. | 19:10 |
| smudgeblot | I may crash out, and then i'll be back shortly if that happens. | 19:10 |
| dewman | smudgeblot, do you have the card setup as a V4L2 device? | 19:10 |
| smudgeblot | let me check what it says | 19:12 |
| smudgeblot | Card Type: DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) | 19:12 |
| smudgeblot | (trying with re-setup), brb | 19:13 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: it sounds like he just didnt have the card setup right | 19:15 |
| rhpot1991 | ummmm | 19:15 |
| rhpot1991 | thats not a dvb card... | 19:15 |
| Shadow__X | what card does he have | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | Hauppauge 950q | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr950q.html | 19:16 |
| Zinn | [www.hauppauge.com] WinTV-HVR-950Q Product Overview | 19:16 |
| rhpot1991 | crap he is gone | 19:16 |
| * rhpot1991 grumbles | 19:16 | |
| smudgeblot | ok, guys I am back. | 19:19 |
| dewman | so...how did you set the card up? | 19:19 |
| smudgeblot | I reset my tuner and changed the starting channel. 3 of the 5 channels come in, but when I try to watch the other two channels, I get a black screen and restart | 19:19 |
| smudgeblot | I set it as DVB | 19:19 |
| smudgeblot | Video Source I did No Grabber (just want to get it workign first) | 19:19 |
| smudgeblot | Input Connections connected DBV to my Video Source Icreated (antenna) and did a scan for channels | 19:20 |
| smudgeblot | I got the same channels I get on my TV for OTA but two of them cause the system to restart | 19:20 |
| smudgeblot | on mythtv (they come in fine on my actual tv) | 19:20 |
| dewman | i dont think that card is a dvb card. | 19:21 |
| smudgeblot | When I looked on the forums for the Hauppauge 950q that is what it said to set it as for getting digital channels OTA | 19:21 |
| smudgeblot | That and analog are the only two that it picks up when looking through card type | 19:24 |
| rhpot1991 | thats not a dvb card | 19:24 |
| smudgeblot | ok, what should I set it as? | 19:25 |
| rhpot1991 | actually google may be telling me otherwise | 19:27 |
| * rhpot1991 is confused | 19:27 | |

| smudgeblot | Zinn: I'm not sure what to do with that statement =) | 19:28 |
| Zinn | Hi smudgeblot, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. | 19:28 |
| smudgeblot | oh, zinn is a bot =) | 19:28 |

| * Zinn stabs noobs with superm1's Dell "mini" LHC. | 19:29 | |
| tgm4883 | muahahahaha | 19:29 |
| rhpot1991 | !stab things | 19:29 |
| * Zinn stabs things with a rusty spork. | 19:29 | |
| rhpot1991 | isn't dvb non astc/qam? | 19:30 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: i thought you setup atsc/qam under dvb | 19:31 |
| Shadow__X | tgm4883: :( each bot switches things up | 19:31 |
| smudgeblot | dvb picks up atsc channels | 19:31 |
| rhpot1991 | DVB-C (VHF/UHF) uses QAM: 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM or 256-QAM. | 19:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I stand corrected, carry on | 19:32 |
| smudgeblot | so I do have the right setup for my tuner? | 19:32 |
| Shadow__X | smudgeblot: if one of the channels causes mythtv to crash make sure the channel is ok | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | is it just one channel? | 19:32 |
| smudgeblot | It is ok on my actual tv in the other room | 19:32 |
| Shadow__X | it could be a connection issue or signal | 19:33 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: and you got that channel by scanning in mythtv-setup? | 19:33 |
| smudgeblot | ok, so if the connection is bad it can cause it to reboot? | 19:33 |
| smudgeblot | yes, by mythtv-setup | 19:33 |
| smudgeblot | side question: I am thinking about getting the HDHomeRun, would I see the HD through that card? I don't think I'm seeing the HD through the 950q | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: its a clear qam channel, not analog right? | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: yes you should throw the 950q in the trash and get a HDHR immediately :) | 19:35 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, lol | 19:35 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991: not sure the whole qam and analog and which it is. | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | analog will be your standard def channels | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | clear qam are your digital channels, normally your local OTAs in HD | 19:37 |
| rhpot1991 | sometimes those same standard defs in digital, depends where you are at | 19:37 |
| smudgeblot | Its picking up the OTA digital...like 2.1, 2.2, etc | 19:37 |
| Shadow__X | analog is also what your supplier is most likely getting rid of slowly | 19:37 |
| rhpot1991 | a lot of these cards don't work with analog is why I am asking | 19:37 |
| rhpot1991 | and google isn't showing me good results on what works and what doesn't work with that card | 19:37 |
| smudgeblot | HDHomeRun picks up OTA digital, right? | 19:37 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: clear QAM (unencrypted cable) and ASTC (antenna) | 19:38 |
| Shadow__X | the 950q should do qam | 19:38 |
| Shadow__X | the 950 doesnt | 19:38 |
| smudgeblot | I am picking up ASTC on the 950q (dont have cable at my house) | 19:38 |
| Shadow__X | you wont get qam unless you have cable | 19:39 |
| rhpot1991 | 950q can still do ASTC | 19:39 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991, shadow_x: so the reason the main channel would cause my computer to restart is because of bad signal? | 19:41 |
| smudgeblot | even though it comes in fine on my tv? | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: the entire computer is restarting? | 19:41 |
| rhpot1991 | that sounds unlikely | 19:41 |
| smudgeblot | no,,black screen and then get a login for mythbox (my computer) and log right in. not full system boot | 19:41 |
| smudgeblot | all screens open in mythbuntu do close though | 19:42 |
| smudgeblot | acts like a restart of mythbuntu (without the loading time of first boo) | 19:42 |
| smudgeblot | *boot | 19:42 |
| rhpot1991 | ah there are some bugs about that lets see | 19:42 |
| rhpot1991 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/658524 | 19:45 |
| Zinn | [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #658524 in Mythbuntu: âmythfrontend crahes X server on Zotac Zboxâ | 19:45 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991: so is that saying it is the nvidia card that crashes it? | 19:47 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: its worth testing | 19:48 |
| rhpot1991 | I thought I saw similar issues elsewhere but I can't seem to find them now | 19:48 |
| smudgeblot | ok, I read that page you opened but I'm not sure what I'm suppose to test (thus my noobiness sticking out) | 19:49 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991: it says use the hardware drivers tool but I dont seem to have that in mythbuntu. | 19:50 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: before you do that, what card are you using? | 19:51 |
| smudgeblot | nvidia 8400gs | 19:51 |
| rhpot1991 | and what playback profile? | 19:51 |
| smudgeblot | ...not sure what that is | 19:52 |
| rhpot1991 | mythtvfrontend > setup > tv > playback > a few pages into here | 19:52 |
| rhpot1991 | going off of memory there I could be off | 19:52 |
| smudgeblot | Current Video Playback Profile: CPU+ | 19:53 |
| rhpot1991 | give me a second | 19:53 |
| rhpot1991 | change that to slim or normal | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | then hit next and keep going till you get back to the menu | 19:55 |
| rhpot1991 | then try to watch something again | 19:55 |
| smudgeblot | ok...brb | 19:55 |
| smudgeblot | wow | 19:57 |
| smudgeblot | that worked | 19:57 |
| smudgeblot | rhpot1991: genius =) | 19:58 |
| smudgeblot | What does the playback profile do exactly? | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: which one did you use normal or slim? | 19:58 |
| smudgeblot | normal | 19:58 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: handles the playback, what features on the video card are used and so on | 19:58 |
| smudgeblot | so when I buy the HDHomeRun, what would be a good Playback Profile? | 19:59 |
| Shadow__X | rhpot1991: i though cpu+ just used the cpu for playback | 20:00 |
| Shadow__X | with vdpau using the gpu to render | 20:00 |
| rhpot1991 | Shadow__X: I believe XvMC is involved with the issue here, not certain though | 20:01 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: what CPU do you have? | 20:01 |
| Shadow__X | oh ok which using some parts of the gpu to display correct? | 20:01 |
| smudgeblot | Athlon 64 x2 3800 | 20:01 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: ya you should be fine then | 20:02 |
| rhpot1991 | smudgeblot: its pretty common to go with a lower cpu and get something that supports VDPAU to offload all the graphics work | 20:02 |
| rhpot1991 | !vdpau | 20:02 |
| Zinn | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | your playback profile shouldn't change based on what content you record | 20:07 |
| sturebror | hi! i'm not getting any eit data in my new mythbuntu 10.10 installation (budget c1500 dvb-c), live tv works fine. anyone had the same issues? | 20:56 |
| mrand | sturebror: are you in the US? | 21:16 |
| sturebror | .SE | 21:20 |
| sturebror | the answer's no :) | 21:20 |
| mrand | sturebror: sorry to say you likely won't get a usable answer here. You'd probably need to ask in #mythtv-users or on the mythtv-users mailing list. | 21:20 |
| * mrand wife is .SE | 21:21 | |
| sturebror | oh okay | 21:21 |
| sturebror | tell her "hejsan" from me | 21:21 |
| mrand | hej hej! | 21:21 |
| sturebror | :) | 21:21 |
| mrand | BTW, be sure to specify your mythtv version | 21:21 |
| mrand | that's more important than your Ubuntu version | 21:21 |
| sturebror | gotcha | 21:22 |
| mrand | and doing both covers all bases ;-) | 21:22 |
| sturebror | are you involved in mythbuntu? | 21:23 |
| mrand | I help out with small stuff when I can. | 21:24 |
| sturebror | nice | 21:24 |
| fluvvell | Gibby, what logging does LTSP do per se? | 21:35 |
| baggar11 | anyone running auto-builds in here? | 21:37 |
| tgm4883 | baggar11, lots are | 21:46 |
| baggar11 | I'm losing connection to the backend whenever I enable 0.24 from auto-builds on fresh installs of 10.04 and 10.10 | 21:50 |
| baggar11 | is there somethin I need to do after installing the auto-build deb file, and running update/upgrade? | 21:54 |
| tgm4883 | shouldn't be, do you get connection in MCC? | 21:55 |
| baggar11 | in the mysql section, no. | 22:05 |
| baggar11 | If I hit test connection and then apply, it tells me the mysql plugin is not fully filled out. | 22:06 |
| tgm4883 | baggar11, did you put in a pin in mythtv-setup? | 22:16 |
| baggar11 | yeah, it shows 0000 | 22:19 |
| baggar11 | I enter that into the mythbuntu control center, still doesn't give me the green light | 22:19 |
| tgm4883 | baggar11, I think you might have to make it not 0000 | 22:29 |
| tgm4883 | I recall seeing that somewhere | 22:30 |
| baggar11 | changed it to 1234, control center still complains | 22:35 |
