[00:53] baggar11, nope [04:32] hiya, has anyone had experience with mythbuntu-diskless-server and ubuntu 10.04-10.10 [04:32] tgm4883: is that functionality included somewhere else now? Just trying to track changes before updating... [04:34] im getting to IP-Config: eth0 hardware addres xxxxx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP [04:34] and from there, just hanging === Gibby_away is now known as Gibby [16:14] baggar11, you are going to need to refresh my memory with your question :) [16:14] my backlog at work doesn't go back that far [16:43] tgm4883: was just asking why the mythbuntu control center didn't have the option for w32/64 codecs anymore. [16:45] baggar11, nope it's not elsewhere. You don't usually need that anymore so it was removed [16:45] there are some other reasons it was removed, but thats one of htem [16:47] no problems with video playback without them? [16:47] or do they silenting install with the dvd support option? [16:47] not unless you have some strange codecs [16:47] I haven't seen an issue [16:47] no, it does not install with dvd support [16:48] ok, thanks [17:18] 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? [18:33] 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] 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. [18:34] 10.10 and 10.04 were all fresh installs too [18:34] (I have an Nvidia 8400gs with current drivers and activated) [18:34] smudgeblot: check your logs [18:34] ok, like the mythfrontend.log? [18:34] odds are your tuner isn't setup correctly, or you have permissions problems [18:34] !logs [18:34] 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] smudgeblot: most likely backend logs here [18:34] if its the issues I think it is [18:35] what tuner? [18:35] ok..ultra noob. which log exactly do I want to get? [18:35] it's a Hauppauge 950q [18:35] check mythbackend.log [18:36] what program do i need to install to open the logs. I tired firefox but it doesn't open [18:36] make sure that you have a valid starting channel set in mythtv-setup [18:38] rhpot1991: first, how do I open the mythbackend.log, I double click and asks for a program. firefox wont open it [18:42] ok, I have mythbackend.log open. What am I looking for? [18:43] I use vi myself from the command line [18:44] you may want to install nano if you aren't used to vi [18:44] smudgeblot: errors, warnings [18:44] 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] also works ^ [18:44] then you can show us too [18:44] and then we can all see the log. =) [18:44] ok, I did the mythbuntu-log-grabber [18:44] now how do I show you guys? =) [18:45] ok did you select the backend log? [18:45] yes [18:45] I actually selected front and backend [18:46] I clicked it twice so both are mine from about 4 mins ago [18:46] ok, so hit apply. [18:47] Ok.. [18:47] this will post the logs to pastebin and it will also give you a log, copy the pastebin link to this channel. [18:47] ah, the url [18:47] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/CfmyLyzP [18:47] yep. [18:47] that is for the backend [18:49] Smudgeblot, how is ashblot doing? Aceblots enjoyed cupcakes today:) [18:50] =) Ah, I was just about to text you back [18:51] tanks for cupcakes [18:51] Anyone use, have experience with "Mythbuntu-bare, a backup/restore utility for your MythTV configuration files", or have a link to documentation? [18:53] qwebirc25048, whats your question? [18:54] dewman: you can see my log, right? [18:54] smudgeblot, yep [18:55] 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) [18:56] smudgeblot, eating meatloaf at the moment. =) [18:56] ah, tasty [19:00] 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 [19:03] Is this the right channel to find help with hardware issues for mythtv or is there somewhere else to go? [19:04] smudgeblot: [19:04] 2010-11-02 01:29:50.529 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Warning: Opening DVB frontend device failed. [19:04] eno: No such file or directory (2) [19:04] 2010-11-02 01:29:50.576 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Error: Failed to open DVB frontend device due to fatal error or too many attempts. [19:04] your card isn't setup correctly [19:05] I think I fixed that this morning (around 9 am MST) [19:05] how would I check? [19:06] 2010-11-02 10:36:12.540 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Error: SetChannelByString(Please add): CheckChannel failed. [19:06] Please verify the channel in the 'mythtv-setup' Channel Editor. [19:06] thats later on [19:06] 2010-11-02 10:36:12.587 ChannelBase(1) Error: Setting start channel 'Please add' failed, [19:06] and we failed to find any suitible channels on any input. [19:06] make sure you have channels attached to the input, and make sure the starting channel is valid [19:07] Ok, I do have a valid starting channel. That was this morning and then when I opened frontend to watch, it crashes [19:10] I am deleting my card, reinstalling as DVB again, and rescan for channels and try it again. [19:10] I may crash out, and then i'll be back shortly if that happens. [19:10] smudgeblot, do you have the card setup as a V4L2 device? [19:12] let me check what it says [19:12] Card Type: DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) [19:13] (trying with re-setup), brb [19:15] rhpot1991: it sounds like he just didnt have the card setup right [19:15] ummmm [19:15] thats not a dvb card... [19:16] what card does he have [19:16] Hauppauge 950q [19:16] http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr950q.html [19:16] [www.hauppauge.com] WinTV-HVR-950Q Product Overview [19:16] crap he is gone [19:16] * rhpot1991 grumbles [19:19] ok, guys I am back. [19:19] so...how did you set the card up? [19:19] 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] I set it as DVB [19:19] Video Source I did No Grabber (just want to get it workign first) [19:20] Input Connections connected DBV to my Video Source Icreated (antenna) and did a scan for channels [19:20] I got the same channels I get on my TV for OTA but two of them cause the system to restart [19:20] on mythtv (they come in fine on my actual tv) [19:21] i dont think that card is a dvb card. [19:21] When I looked on the forums for the Hauppauge 950q that is what it said to set it as for getting digital channels OTA [19:24] That and analog are the only two that it picks up when looking through card type [19:24] thats not a dvb card [19:25] ok, what should I set it as? [19:27] actually google may be telling me otherwise [19:27] * rhpot1991 is confused [19:27] http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950Q [19:27] [linuxtv.org] Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950Q - LinuxTVWiki [19:28] Zinn: I'm not sure what to do with that statement =) [19:28] Hi smudgeblot, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [19:28] oh, zinn is a bot =) [19:28] Hi smudgeblot, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [19:28] !slap ? [19:28] Sorry I don't know about slap ? [19:28] !trout ? [19:28] Sorry I don't know about trout ? [19:28] !fishy [19:28] Sorry I don't know about fishy [19:28] oh come on [19:29] !jesus [19:29] Sorry I don't know about jesus [19:29] lol [19:29] !stab noobs [19:29] * Zinn stabs noobs with superm1's Dell "mini" LHC. [19:29] muahahahaha [19:29] !stab things [19:29] * Zinn stabs things with a rusty spork. [19:30] isn't dvb non astc/qam? [19:31] rhpot1991: i thought you setup atsc/qam under dvb [19:31] tgm4883: :( each bot switches things up [19:31] dvb picks up atsc channels [19:32] DVB-C (VHF/UHF) uses QAM: 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM or 256-QAM. [19:32] I stand corrected, carry on [19:32] so I do have the right setup for my tuner? [19:32] smudgeblot: if one of the channels causes mythtv to crash make sure the channel is ok [19:32] is it just one channel? [19:32] It is ok on my actual tv in the other room [19:33] it could be a connection issue or signal [19:33] smudgeblot: and you got that channel by scanning in mythtv-setup? [19:33] ok, so if the connection is bad it can cause it to reboot? [19:33] yes, by mythtv-setup [19:34] 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 [19:35] smudgeblot: its a clear qam channel, not analog right? [19:35] smudgeblot: yes you should throw the 950q in the trash and get a HDHR immediately :) [19:35] rhpot1991, lol [19:36] rhpot1991: not sure the whole qam and analog and which it is. [19:36] analog will be your standard def channels [19:37] clear qam are your digital channels, normally your local OTAs in HD [19:37] sometimes those same standard defs in digital, depends where you are at [19:37] Its picking up the OTA digital...like 2.1, 2.2, etc [19:37] analog is also what your supplier is most likely getting rid of slowly [19:37] a lot of these cards don't work with analog is why I am asking [19:37] and google isn't showing me good results on what works and what doesn't work with that card [19:37] HDHomeRun picks up OTA digital, right? [19:38] smudgeblot: clear QAM (unencrypted cable) and ASTC (antenna) [19:38] the 950q should do qam [19:38] the 950 doesnt [19:38] I am picking up ASTC on the 950q (dont have cable at my house) [19:39] you wont get qam unless you have cable [19:39] 950q can still do ASTC [19:41] rhpot1991, shadow_x: so the reason the main channel would cause my computer to restart is because of bad signal? [19:41] even though it comes in fine on my tv? [19:41] smudgeblot: the entire computer is restarting? [19:41] that sounds unlikely [19:41] no,,black screen and then get a login for mythbox (my computer) and log right in. not full system boot [19:42] all screens open in mythbuntu do close though [19:42] acts like a restart of mythbuntu (without the loading time of first boo) [19:42] *boot [19:42] ah there are some bugs about that lets see [19:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/658524 [19:45] [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #658524 in Mythbuntu: âmythfrontend crahes X server on Zotac Zboxâ [19:47] rhpot1991: so is that saying it is the nvidia card that crashes it? [19:48] smudgeblot: its worth testing [19:48] I thought I saw similar issues elsewhere but I can't seem to find them now [19:49] ok, I read that page you opened but I'm not sure what I'm suppose to test (thus my noobiness sticking out) [19:50] rhpot1991: it says use the hardware drivers tool but I dont seem to have that in mythbuntu. [19:51] smudgeblot: before you do that, what card are you using? [19:51] nvidia 8400gs [19:51] and what playback profile? [19:52] ...not sure what that is [19:52] mythtvfrontend > setup > tv > playback > a few pages into here [19:52] going off of memory there I could be off [19:53] Current Video Playback Profile: CPU+ [19:53] give me a second [19:54] change that to slim or normal [19:55] then hit next and keep going till you get back to the menu [19:55] then try to watch something again [19:55] ok...brb [19:57] wow [19:57] that worked [19:58] rhpot1991: genius =) [19:58] What does the playback profile do exactly? [19:58] smudgeblot: which one did you use normal or slim? [19:58] normal [19:58] smudgeblot: handles the playback, what features on the video card are used and so on [19:59] so when I buy the HDHomeRun, what would be a good Playback Profile? [20:00] rhpot1991: i though cpu+ just used the cpu for playback [20:00] with vdpau using the gpu to render [20:01] Shadow__X: I believe XvMC is involved with the issue here, not certain though [20:01] smudgeblot: what CPU do you have? [20:01] oh ok which using some parts of the gpu to display correct? [20:01] Athlon 64 x2 3800 [20:02] smudgeblot: ya you should be fine then [20:02] smudgeblot: its pretty common to go with a lower cpu and get something that supports VDPAU to offload all the graphics work [20:02] !vdpau [20:02] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU [20:07] your playback profile shouldn't change based on what content you record [20:56] 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? [21:16] sturebror: are you in the US? [21:20] .SE [21:20] the answer's no :) [21:20] 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. [21:21] * mrand wife is .SE [21:21] oh okay [21:21] tell her "hejsan" from me [21:21] hej hej! [21:21] :) [21:21] BTW, be sure to specify your mythtv version [21:21] that's more important than your Ubuntu version [21:22] gotcha [21:22] and doing both covers all bases ;-) [21:23] are you involved in mythbuntu? [21:24] I help out with small stuff when I can. [21:24] nice [21:35] Gibby, what logging does LTSP do per se? [21:37] anyone running auto-builds in here? [21:46] baggar11, lots are [21:50] I'm losing connection to the backend whenever I enable 0.24 from auto-builds on fresh installs of 10.04 and 10.10 [21:54] is there somethin I need to do after installing the auto-build deb file, and running update/upgrade? [21:55] shouldn't be, do you get connection in MCC? [22:05] in the mysql section, no. [22:06] If I hit test connection and then apply, it tells me the mysql plugin is not fully filled out. [22:16] baggar11, did you put in a pin in mythtv-setup? [22:19] yeah, it shows 0000 [22:19] I enter that into the mythbuntu control center, still doesn't give me the green light [22:29] baggar11, I think you might have to make it not 0000 [22:30] I recall seeing that somewhere [22:35] changed it to 1234, control center still complains
