| savantelite_ | so My 1st Time here setting up a backend mythtv. I installed mythtv through the ubuntu store. | 01:35 |
|---|---|---|
| savantelite_ | Hostname? | 01:35 |
| savantelite_ | Port? | 01:35 |
| savantelite_ | Database name? | 01:35 |
| savantelite_ | poor derek | 01:38 |
| tgm4883 | savantelite_, likely you need to install the backend as well. I'm not entirely sure what gets installed if you just install mythtv | 01:42 |
| tgm4883 | what are you trying to accomplish? | 01:43 |
| savantelite_ | The back end I think is installed. It asked to install that. | 01:43 |
| savantelite_ | my question is hostname or ip? Do I just look at my connections and imput that ip? | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | use hostname | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | provided you can resolve hostnames to IP's on your network | 01:44 |
| Shadow__X | tgm4883: why wouldnt he just use ip and then know things will work | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | Shadow__X, too many users have dynamic IPs | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | plus, thats what hostnames are for :) | 01:45 |
| Shadow__X | dynamic ips are bad for you | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | not always | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | but yea, set up inproperly they are | 01:46 |
| savantelite_ | I have a static IP on my router | 01:46 |
| tgm4883 | which by default they are | 01:46 |
| savantelite_ | For hostname it reads localhost by default | 01:46 |
| tgm4883 | savantelite_, you have statically assigned ip's for your local network ? | 01:47 |
| savantelite_ | Just my router | 01:47 |
| savantelite_ | Will my router keep the rest of the machines with the same internal ip? | 01:47 |
| tgm4883 | savantelite_, by default? probably not | 01:48 |
| savantelite_ | so should I just leave it "localhost" for hostname? | 01:48 |
| tgm4883 | no, i'd say set a static IP address on the PC using network manager | 01:49 |
| tgm4883 | if you have any remote frontends in the future localhost will cause issues | 01:49 |
| savantelite_ | k, So can I just do that in IPv4 settings? or do I have to do it on my router? | 01:50 |
| tgm4883 | savantelite_, just do that in IPv4 settings | 01:51 |
| savantelite_ | Should I use the one it currently gave me? 192.168.2.21? | 01:53 |
| savantelite_ | and what do I do with netmask and gateway feilds? | 01:53 |
| savantelite_ | Is this stuff easy to change after I have a backend up? | 01:54 |
| tgm4883 | no, don't use the one it gave you, as that may be assigned to another PC later | 01:55 |
| tgm4883 | You would want to use something on the same subnet, like 192.168.2.201 | 01:55 |
| tgm4883 | netmask is likely 255.255.255.0, gateway is likely the IP of your router | 01:55 |
| savantelite_ | cool that worked fine. I will have to set up my other computers like that:) | 02:04 |
| savantelite_ | So now I put my new ip in to "Hostname"? | 02:04 |
| savantelite_ | Thanks a ton, I will be back in a couple hours | 02:05 |
| miststlkr | running .23 and have a series which was tagged incorrectly. If I manually go through and "reset metadata" then rescan using the series ID I can get it to group correctly and get the correct summary and all that, but it won't let go of the old/incorrect artwork. is there a way to do this other than going through for each pierce of art for each episode and picking through the menu of all artwork?? surely there is at least a | 03:33 |
| miststlkr | way to wipe it clean for the episode/series at the very least?? | 03:33 |
| yggdrasil | ok wtf have you done with grub/menu.lst | 04:36 |
| qwebirc45582 | hi all | 11:27 |
| qwebirc45582 | any one up for a q on a SQL error I am seeing on a clean 10.10 Mythbuntu install? | 11:27 |

| patdk-wk | guess not, since he didn't want to ask his question | 13:05 |
| Nasha | superm1 are you around? | 13:37 |
| superm1 | Nasha, yeah i'm here | 14:59 |
| superm1 | as for ideas to make your solution permanent, if rc.local isn't working, you've got a race condition of sorts going on i'm thinking | 15:00 |
| Nasha | I see... | 15:01 |
| Nasha | Do you think i could add it to the lirc init script, and that may make it work? | 15:03 |
| Nasha | Ad hoc solution, doesnt exactly sort out the cause of the solution though | 15:03 |
| superm1 | i think still need to figure out the cause of the problem first to figure out the best place to fix it | 15:16 |
| superm1 | maybe a good start is having each run of /etc/init.d/lirc echo out into a file | 15:16 |
| superm1 | and run set -x | 15:16 |
| superm1 | then perhaps you might be able to see if there are invokations of it racing somehow | 15:17 |
| Nasha | What do you mean, echo out into a file? | 15:19 |
| Nasha | I mean, what would we be echoing | 15:19 |
| Nasha | After looking at the in_kernel_support code in the init script, the file /sys/devices/virtual/rc/ doesnt exist, so the editing of the protocols file doesnt happen? | 15:21 |
| superm1 | you can add set -x to the top of /etc/init.d/lirc, and there is a way in sh to set a file to redirect all output elsewhere | 15:24 |
| superm1 | so if you redirect it to say /tmp/lirc.`tempfile` that should let you watch the messages output | 15:25 |
| Nasha | Youve exceeded my linux knowledge im afraid | 15:28 |
| patdk-wk | I dunno the correct way to do it :) | 15:43 |
| patdk-wk | but generally just rename the file | 15:43 |
| patdk-wk | and make a new script with the old name, and have it run the renamed script with output redirected | 15:43 |
| Nasha | Ok, im getting the general idea | 15:44 |
| Nasha | How exactly, do i do that? | 15:44 |
| patdk-wk | just like I said | 15:44 |
| patdk-wk | mv script script.orig | 15:45 |
| Nasha | Yep, that part i get | 15:45 |
| Nasha | As for the contents of the new script | 15:45 |
| patdk-wk | echo "#!/bin/sh\n. script.orig > script.log 2>script.err\n" > script; chmod a+x script | 15:45 |
| Nasha | And thats the contents of the new script, and the output will be in script.log | 15:47 |
| patdk-wk | yep | 15:47 |
| patdk-wk | I personally would use full paths for everything | 15:47 |
| Nasha | Yep, to avoid any mix ups | 15:48 |
| Nasha | Ok, ill give that a shot | 15:53 |
| superm1 | you will probably want to use >> instead of > so that it appends to the file in case there are multiple times it's executed | 15:55 |
| superm1 | and you'll want to make sure that you run set -x | 15:56 |
| Nasha | set -x in the new file or old? | 15:56 |
| superm1 | either | 15:57 |
| Nasha | ok | 15:57 |
| Nasha | nasha@Ion-Frontend:~$ cat /etc/init.d/lirc.err | 16:06 |
| Nasha | lircd: there seems to already be a lircd process with pid 1003 | 16:06 |
| Nasha | lircd: otherwise delete stale lockfile /var/run/lirc/lircd1.pid | 16:06 |
| Nasha | the lirc.log seems to be ok | 16:06 |
| Nasha | but the remote isn't functioning using the lirc mceusb driver, only the ir_core | 16:06 |
| superm1 | so look at it from a fresh boot | 16:06 |
| Nasha | that is a fresh boot | 16:07 |
| superm1 | that's from a fresh boot? Then it certainly sounds like something launched it twice | 16:07 |
| Nasha | Isnt that the issue, the kernel is launching it, and lirc itself is launching/ | 16:08 |
| superm1 | so maybe it's udev rule conflicting | 16:09 |
| superm1 | so you can try modifying /lib/udev/rules.d/85-lirc.rules | 16:09 |
| superm1 | to comment out the add rule | 16:09 |
| Nasha | done, rebooting | 16:10 |
| Nasha | Nothing new in the err log, and remote is functioning with the repeat error as before | 16:12 |
| superm1 | when you backed up your old conffiles, did you maybe also restore stuff in /etc/rc.d/ or so? | 16:14 |
| Nasha | certainly not | 16:14 |
| Nasha | I backed up only .lirc hardware.conf and lircd.conf | 16:14 |
| superm1 | is this machine your master backend | 16:15 |
| Nasha | No, FE only | 16:15 |
| superm1 | okay, would you mind booting a live disk and trying there, just to rule out some other unforseen modifications here? | 16:16 |
| superm1 | but hm, that won't go through the same steps a fresh boot will | 16:16 |
| Nasha | Sure | 16:16 |
| Nasha | Ok... | 16:16 |
| Nasha | So you want me to load the livecd? | 16:18 |
| Nasha | Need to find the external dvd drive, dont want to look for it at 3am if i dont have to lol | 16:19 |
| superm1 | well i think you should go to bed if it's 3am, just searching for straws at this point | 16:23 |
| superm1 | nothing definitive to solve it yet | 16:23 |
| Nasha | Yeh its almost bed time, but because of the time difference, i need to compromise to catch you | 16:24 |
| superm1 | well don't stay up on my account, my brain is a little fried for more ideas atm :) | 16:25 |
| Nasha | haha ok | 16:26 |
| Nasha | I was hoping to find a permanent solution, but its not that important. Jarod Wilson's words of advice were to just add the echo lirc > protocols to the lirc init script in place of the kernel code. But that either doesn't work, or ive commented out the wrong code | 16:27 |
| Nasha | Because it enables all the items in the protocols file, so ive just realised | 16:28 |
| baggar11 | anyone running PIP in here? Wondering how the newer releases of MythTv handle it. Running 9.10 with 0.22 has always seemed to be crash happy... | 16:35 |
| patdk-wk | hmm, it's always worked for me | 16:36 |
| patdk-wk | but I haven't used it since .22 :) | 16:36 |
| baggar11 | patdk-wk: what cards are you running? | 16:44 |
| patdk-wk | for? | 16:44 |
| patdk-wk | gt220 and gt240 | 16:45 |
| === Nasha is now known as Nasha|Sleep | ||
| baggar11 | capturing of course, unless you weren't replying to my PIP question... | 16:47 |
| patdk-wk | what would capture matter in PIP? | 16:50 |
| patdk-wk | PIP only happens on the frontend, not backend | 16:50 |
| baggar11 | because I've had problems with PIP with my capture cards | 16:51 |
| patdk-wk | PIP has nothing to do with the capture cards | 16:51 |
| patdk-wk | all pip does is playback two videos | 16:52 |
| patdk-wk | now, if you have issues recording from both of your cards at once, that is a totally different issue | 16:52 |
| baggar11 | don't seem to have that problem with multiple frontends. so I guess its' the 0.22 frontend | 17:03 |
| baggar11 | I'm about to upgrade to 0.24 on 10.10, and thought I would revisit PIP | 17:05 |
| persia | Hey. I'm collecting information about installation targets for each flavour. Does Mythbuntu plan to release for amd64/i386 for Natty again? No powerpc or armel images? | 18:04 |
| tgm4883 | persia, correct | 18:05 |
| tgm4883 | also, #mythbuntu-mythtv-dev | 18:05 |
| tgm4883 | err | 18:05 |
| tgm4883 | #mythbuntu-dev | 18:05 |
| tgm4883 | which should forward to #ubuntu-mythtv-dev | 18:06 |
| superm1 | i think there is quite little utility in doing powerpc or armel | 18:25 |
| superm1 | whenever flash gets released for amd64 i'd argue we should stop doing i386 too | 18:26 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1: isn't it already | 18:27 |
| rhpot1991 | or do you mean a stable release? | 18:27 |
| superm1 | not a stable version | 18:27 |
| rhpot1991 | ah ok | 18:27 |
| superm1 | i'm not meaning stop doing i386 packages, just only release amd64 iso's | 18:27 |
| superm1 | people on i386 could still function | 18:27 |
| tgm4883 | <superm1> i'm not meaning stop doing i386 packages, just only release amd64 iso's | 18:27 |
| tgm4883 | I like that idea | 18:28 |
| tgm4883 | but whats the reason? | 18:28 |
| tafkaz | sorry for crossposting, but i really would like to hear your thoughts on this: | 20:09 |
| tafkaz | i found a wiki entry telling me,. that you can reset the playback profiles back to default by deleting the entries there completely | 20:10 |
| tafkaz | i tried this, and i managed to delete most of those profiles. but some wont delete... | 20:11 |
| tafkaz | in the log i get: | 20:11 |
| tafkaz | 2010-11-23 21:01:59.347 TriggeredConfigurationGroup::removeTarget(): Failed to find desired value(Schonend) -- aborting | 20:11 |
| tafkaz | anything i could do? | 20:11 |
| tafkaz | thank you very much for your ideas | 20:11 |

| Gibby | what is the package for the hdhomerun gui? | 22:02 |
| rhpot1991 | hdhomerun-config-gui I think | 22:03 |
| rhpot1991 | hdhomerun-config - Configuration utility for Silicon Dust HD HomeRun | 22:03 |
| rhpot1991 | hdhomerun-config-gui - GUI Configuration utility for Silicon Dust HD HomeRun | 22:03 |
| rhpot1991 | Gibby: ^ | 22:03 |
| Gibby | can i install just the gui? | 22:03 |
| rhpot1991 | yep | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd install both, the cli can do things the gui can't | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | which you may never need | 22:04 |
| Gibby | sweet, it just got here in the mail | 22:04 |
| rhpot1991 | Gibby: very nice | 22:04 |
| Gibby | is it safe to flash the firmware with this utitlity? | 22:09 |
| rhpot1991 | Gibby: yep should be fine, go get the latest from SD's website | 22:10 |
| Gibby | yep already got it... so this utility is good for just looking at signal strength and flashing? | 22:11 |
| rhpot1991 | Gibby: you can watch tv with it too, it launches vlc | 22:11 |
| rhpot1991 | kinda useful for checking channels when fixing your lineup | 22:12 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure if there is a better way to add listings for HDHR anymore, back when I did it I added my cable listings, scanned with the HDHR then added the xmltv id's for the scanned channels to match with my cable channels | 22:13 |
| Gibby | hmm my symbol quality is all over the place | 22:14 |
