[00:53] <tgm4883> baggar11, nope
[04:32] <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...
[04:34] <IOU> im getting to IP-Config: eth0 hardware addres xxxxx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
[04:34] <IOU> and from there, just hanging
[16:14] <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
[16:43] <baggar11> tgm4883: was just asking why the mythbuntu control center didn't have the option for w32/64 codecs anymore.
[16:45] <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
[16:47] <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
[16:48] <baggar11> ok, thanks
[17:18] <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?
[18:33] <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.
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <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
[18:38] <smudgeblot> rhpot1991: first, how do I open the mythbackend.log, I double click and asks for a program. firefox wont open it
[18:42] <smudgeblot> ok, I have mythbackend.log open.  What am I looking for?
[18:43] <rhpot1991> I use vi myself from the command line
[18:44] <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? =)
[18:45] <dewman> ok did you select the backend log?
[18:45] <smudgeblot> yes
[18:45] <smudgeblot> I actually selected front and backend
[18:46] <smudgeblot> I clicked it twice so both are mine from about 4 mins ago
[18:46] <dewman> ok, so hit apply.
[18:47] <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
[18:49] <savantelite_> Smudgeblot, how is ashblot doing? Aceblots enjoyed cupcakes today:)
[18:50] <smudgeblot> =) Ah, I was just about to text you back
[18:51] <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?
[18:53] <tgm4883> qwebirc25048, whats your question?
[18:54] <smudgeblot> dewman: you can see my log, right?
[18:54] <dewman> smudgeblot, yep
[18:55] <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)
[18:56] <dewman> smudgeblot, eating meatloaf at the moment. =)
[18:56] <smudgeblot> ah, tasty
[19:00] <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
[19:03] <smudgeblot> Is this the right channel to find help with hardware issues for mythtv or is there somewhere else to go?
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <smudgeblot> I think I fixed that this morning (around 9 am MST)
[19:05] <smudgeblot> how would I check?
[19:06] <rhpot1991> 2010-11-02 10:36:12.540 DVBChan(1:/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0) Error: SetChannelByString(Please add): CheckChannel failed.
[19:06] <rhpot1991>                         Please verify the channel in the 'mythtv-setup' Channel Editor.
[19:06] <rhpot1991> thats later on
[19:06] <rhpot1991> 2010-11-02 10:36:12.587 ChannelBase(1) Error: Setting start channel 'Please add' failed,
[19:06] <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
[19:07] <smudgeblot> Ok, I do have a valid starting channel.  That was this morning and then when I opened frontend to watch, it crashes
[19:10] <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?
[19:12] <smudgeblot> let me check what it says
[19:12] <smudgeblot> Card Type: DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)
[19:13] <smudgeblot> (trying with re-setup), brb
[19:15] <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...
[19:16] <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
[19:19] <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)
[19:20] <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)
[19:21] <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
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <smudgeblot> ok, what should I set it as?
[19:27] <rhpot1991> actually google may be telling me otherwise
[19:27]  * rhpot1991 is confused

[19:28] <smudgeblot> oh, zinn is a bot =)

[19:29] <tgm4883> muahahahaha
[19:29] <rhpot1991> !stab things
[19:29]  * Zinn stabs things with a rusty spork.
[19:30] <rhpot1991> isn't dvb non astc/qam?
[19:31] <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
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <smudgeblot> rhpot1991: not sure the whole qam and analog and which it is.
[19:36] <rhpot1991> analog will be your standard def channels
[19:37] <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?
[19:38] <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)
[19:39] <Shadow__X> you wont get qam unless you have cable
[19:39] <rhpot1991> 950q can still do ASTC
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <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
[19:45] <rhpot1991> https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/658524
[19:45] <Zinn> [bugs.launchpad.net] Bug #658524 in Mythbuntu: âmythfrontend crahes X server on Zotac Zboxâ
[19:47] <smudgeblot> rhpot1991: so is that saying it is the nvidia card that crashes it?
[19:48] <rhpot1991> smudgeblot: its worth testing
[19:48] <rhpot1991> I thought I saw similar issues elsewhere but I can't seem to find them now
[19:49] <smudgeblot> ok, I read that page you opened but I'm not sure what I'm suppose to test (thus my noobiness sticking out)
[19:50] <smudgeblot> rhpot1991: it says use the hardware drivers tool but I dont seem to have that in mythbuntu.
[19:51] <rhpot1991> smudgeblot: before you do that, what card are you using?
[19:51] <smudgeblot> nvidia 8400gs
[19:51] <rhpot1991> and what playback profile?
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <smudgeblot> Current Video Playback Profile: CPU+
[19:53] <rhpot1991> give me a second
[19:54] <rhpot1991> change that to slim or normal
[19:55] <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
[19:57] <smudgeblot> wow
[19:57] <smudgeblot> that worked
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <smudgeblot> so when I buy the HDHomeRun, what would be a good Playback Profile?
[20:00] <Shadow__X> rhpot1991: i though cpu+ just used the cpu for playback
[20:00] <Shadow__X> with vdpau using the gpu to render
[20:01] <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
[20:02] <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
[20:07] <tgm4883> your playback profile shouldn't change based on what content you record
[20:56] <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?
[21:16] <mrand> sturebror: are you in the US?
[21:20] <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.
[21:21]  * 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
[21:22] <sturebror> gotcha
[21:22] <mrand> and doing both covers all bases ;-)
[21:23] <sturebror> are you involved in mythbuntu?
[21:24] <mrand> I help out with small stuff when I can.
[21:24] <sturebror> nice
[21:35] <fluvvell> Gibby, what logging does LTSP do per se?
[21:37] <baggar11> anyone running auto-builds in here?
[21:46] <tgm4883> baggar11, lots are
[21:50] <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
[21:54] <baggar11> is there somethin I need to do after installing the auto-build deb file, and running update/upgrade?
[21:55] <tgm4883> shouldn't be, do you get connection in MCC?
[22:05] <baggar11> in the mysql section, no.
[22:06] <baggar11> If I hit test connection and then apply, it tells me the mysql plugin is not fully filled out.
[22:16] <tgm4883> baggar11, did you put in a pin in mythtv-setup?
[22:19] <baggar11> yeah, it shows 0000
[22:19] <baggar11> I enter that into the mythbuntu control center, still doesn't give me the green light
[22:29] <tgm4883> baggar11, I think you might have to make it not 0000
[22:30] <tgm4883> I recall seeing that somewhere
[22:35] <baggar11> changed it to 1234, control center still complains
