henrik_any news on when .24 will be in the repo?08:15
mrandhenrik_: it should already be there.  You may need to update your mythbuntu-repos package.12:43
henrik_thx mrand !12:44
mrandNote, I'm referring to auto-builds PPA, not the official Ubuntu repo.  It won't be available there until 11.0412:44
mrandhenrik_: ^12:44
henrik_I can w8 for it to land in the official ;)12:44
mrandhenrik_: the good news is that it should be VERY stable by then.  The bad news is that it is 6 months away.12:45
henrik_ohh okej.. I think I will need to reconsider :P12:46
henrik_I thaught it was 11.04 pm tonight :) some kind och script doing mirroring or something like it ;)12:46
mrandyeah.... 11.04 = natty12:52

CRU_Hey guys....I am in need of some help.  I just installed a geforce 210 but can't get the sound to transfer via hdmi.  In my device manager I have a ? next to HDA Nvidia Sound Card16:30
CRU_Anyone know how to get sound working on the geforce 210 or help on how?16:38
rhpot1991CRU_: I know someone who had it working outside of myth and then had to modify their myth sound settings to use hw(1,3) instead of hw(0,3).  I think16:40
rhpot1991CRU_: check in alsamixer that its not muted as well16:40
CRU_i dont get any sound from it.  I just dont know how to get it installed properly.16:41
rhpot1991check alsamixer then test things with vlc or something16:45
rhpot1991get it working then move onto mythtv16:45
CRU_ok...i'll start here.16:48
CRU_rhpot1991: in alsamixer, I have a realtex nvidia alc888 *i believe onboard* that has volume, but when I switch cards, the other has no controls *the one for hdmi*16:56
Azelphurrhpot1991, I removed x11-common and that got the update to run17:26
Azelphurnow I've updated and it doesn't make to X17:27
AzelphurI get the Ubuntu splash screen and it says "The disk drive for UUID-8464... is not ready yet or not present"17:27
Azelphurit offers me to continue to wait. S to Skip or M for manual recovery17:28
Azelphurif I press S not much happens it just continues sitting at the splash screen17:28
AzelphurI can SSH or Switch to a TTY though17:28
Azelphurso basically it's just not starting X17:28
Azelphurlooks like I have no GDM, I'm installing it now and its installing a huge tonne of X packages with it, hopefully that'll fix it17:30
henrik_Hello! Anyone who know something about bach scripting? I got a problem loading DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real & in a screen17:38
CRU_Hey guys.  Setting up my first mythtv box.  I have a 210 geforce card with hdmi.  When I connect to my tv and play through surround sound, sound works, but through tv only all I get is clicking noises. Any idea why?17:38
henrik_this is the script I'm trying to load thru crown job to be runed every minute. http://paste.ubuntu.com/530136/17:41
henrik_the problem is that I can't get the start command running thru a screen.17:42
henrik_and without a screen the command puts out debug information so it never stops and can continue the script17:42
rhpot1991CRU_: disable the surround sound passthrough18:02
rhpot1991and/or tell it your speakers are stereo and not 5.118:03
rhpot1991Azelphur: check your /etc/fstab sounds like you have something in there that doesn't exist18:03
CRU_what does the surround sound passthrough do?18:06
rhpot1991passes dts and such18:09
Azelphurrhpot1991, I've got like 10 different problems so I just decided to reinstall18:09
Azelphurincluding that one :(18:09
Azelphurreinstall and pull the tables from the old install should hopefully work18:10
rhpot1991old install is what version of myth?18:12
Azelphur0.23.118:13
AzelphurI wanted to do mythbuntu 10.04 -> 10.10 and 0.23.1 -> 0.2418:13
rhpot1991just make sure you restore your tables before you install 0.2418:13

Juppersdoes anyone know how to fix the python bindings after going to .24 in mythbuntu 10.10?18:15
JuppersThe autobuilds seem to not include the correct python bindings.18:17
=== Gibby_away is now known as Gibby
superm1Juppers, there's been a few people saying this, could you help debug by chance?19:39
superm1for starters, which mirror of 0.24 do you have19:39
superm1you can see in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/19:39
Juppersdeb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/repos/ubuntu maverick main deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.24/ubuntu maverick main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.24/ubuntu maverick main19:40
Zinn[ppa.launchpad.net] Index of /mythbuntu/repos/ubuntu19:40
superm1okay so you've got the PPA mirror19:41
superm1that's good19:41
superm1next, what version of myth* do you have installed? - "dpkg -l | grep myth"19:41
superm1(without the quotes)19:41
superm1and put that in a pastebin19:42
superm1!pastebin19:42
Zinnwhen pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.19:42
Juppershttp://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/A6ACKuAR19:44
superm1okay so it looks like the proper version of the bindings is installed19:45
superm1you can double check the files by this: "dpkg -L libmyth-python"19:46
Juppershttp://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/zmvrWjXb19:50
Juppers[~]:mythpython --version    MythTV Python Bindings   local versions     bindings version:   Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/bin/mythpython", line 13, in <module>     print '    bindings version:  ', '.'.join([str(i) for i in static.OWN_VERSION]) NameError: name 'static' is not defined19:50
superm1hmm.. so somehow you have another copy installed elsewhere it seems19:50
superm1check in /usr/local ?19:51
superm1did you ever build from source manually?19:51
Juppersnot since .2219:51
superm1okay, so check in the following directories for a directory called MythTV19:52
superm1[ '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/loca19:53
superm1l/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']19:53
superm1it's more thank likely in '/usr/lib/python2.6' or '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages'19:53
superm1or '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages'19:53
Juppersfound /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/MythTV]:19:57
superm1is that just a symlink with /usr/share/pyshared/MythTV though by chance?19:57
JuppersI think the winner of the bad will be /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/MythTV]:19:58
superm1before you axe it, see if anything is claiming ownership19:58
JuppersI mean [/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages]: l ./  ../  MythTV/  MythTV-0.22.egg-info  MythTV-0.23.0.egg-info19:58
superm1/usr/local ?19:59
superm1so it was from a handle compile a while back then it sounds19:59
Juppersnuke it?19:59
superm1yeah if it's within /usr/local, nuke it19:59
Jupperssorry so terse, trying to merge the arclight metadata selector with extended video info into mythbuntu right now too.20:00
superm1no problems.  it's a relief it's not caused by the packages20:01

funsheephello, i tried to install mythtv 0.24 now the backend won't start, saying "Error: There are no cards in the database". I don't have a tv card, so thats obviously true. But the backend does not start. How do need to configure the backend so that it starts again?20:29
tgm4883funsheep, there is an option in the backend to set up a dummy card20:30
superm10.24 makes it a requirement to have some card, even if it's a dummy20:31
funsheepyeah noticed that. backend goes into an endless loop trying to start20:31
tgm4883superm1, I thought we had fixed that?20:32
tgm4883or have we not fixed that yet?20:32
superm1the endless loop thing?20:32
tgm4883yea20:32
superm1i think you had some ideas for it20:33
superm1with upstart jobby stuff to count how many times it failed20:33
superm1but i dont think it was ever implemented20:33
tgm4883fine leave :)20:33
tgm4883superm1, yea I think your right20:33
tgm4883yep, it's a bug targeted for 11.0420:34
tgm4883alpha1 that is20:34
funsheepcouldn't find the dummy card, only test recorder and demo recorder - both want a filepath as a parameter20:34
tgm4883superm1, ^^20:35
tgm4883I haven't set mine up yet on 0.24, so IDK20:35
superm1either of them are fine just to get the backend running without a tuner20:35
superm1demo recorder is probably what i was referring to20:35
funsheepok. maybe the demo recorder then should be added as a "dummy recorder" to make things obvious (at least for me) :) i'll try that. i would like to add that to the documentation then - should i do that, and if yes, where? thanks in advance20:37
