| BLZbubba | greetings, i am using mythbuntu lucid, and mythweb errors out with this: require(modules/_shared/tmpl/tmpl/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/_shared/tmpl/_errors/fatal.php on line 23 | 03:18 |
|---|---|---|
| BLZbubba | i fixed it once but an apt-get apparently broke it again for me, did I do something wrong setting it up? | 03:18 |
| dmfrey | BLZbubba: what url are you trying to hit under /mythweb? | 03:19 |
| dmfrey | could alwasy do an apt-get remove --purge mythweb and then apt-get install mythweb | 03:20 |
| BLZbubba | i'm trying to hit /mythweb | 03:20 |
| BLZbubba | first page, this happens right after i put in my password | 03:21 |
| BLZbubba | i think it was something about a default theme last time maybe | 03:21 |
| dmfrey | looks like there is a dup in that path /tmpl/tmpl | 03:21 |
| BLZbubba | ah looks like an error in the error page | 03:24 |
| === peterpops_ is now known as peterpops | ||
| BLZbubba | _shared/tmpl/'.tmpl.'/header.php | 03:24 |
| BLZbubba | is tmpl a constant or something? | 03:25 |
| BLZbubba | the error page never read the template from skin.php for some reason, so i just hard coded it in fatal.php to default, and now i'm getting the real error | 03:31 |
| BLZbubba | "setenv db_server" @!#%%#^ - what about /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt ?\ | 03:35 |
| BLZbubba | and how about not replacing that with new mythweb debs too :) | 03:35 |
| BLZbubba | ok on a more serious note - will mythbuntu be switching to a different distro like debian any time soon? the reason i ask is that upstart is a total piece of crap and all distros using upstart and/or plymouth need to die a grisly death | 03:37 |
| BLZbubba | so if there isn't an official switch a fork is in order | 03:38 |
| BLZbubba | if you want to see just how bad it is, put an nfs mount in your fstab and see what happens if it can't mount it during bootup | 03:41 |
| rhpot1991 | BLZbubba: you hit s to skip | 03:44 |
| rhpot1991 | otherwise it waits for it | 03:44 |
| rhpot1991 | and no, we are staying ubuntu, hence mythbuntu | 03:44 |
| rhpot1991 | I believe you should be able to avoid waiting for the drive by setting the proper flags | 03:44 |
| BLZbubba | well the point is that upstart is a disaster and not ready for prime time | 03:46 |
| BLZbubba | but what flags are you talking about? i would love to give it a try | 03:47 |
| BLZbubba | i ended up with the purple mythtv splash screen with 5 dots and no text of any kind, and it stayed there forever | 03:48 |
| BLZbubba | people in #upstart are a-holes too, it is just bad news | 03:49 |
| MoMo | I have a Dell Inspiron Desktop 570 that I am using at my frontend -- it had HDMI out and when I do a lspci | grep VGA ... i get a ATI Radeon HD 4200 ... my current problem is that I can't get my audio across the HDMI cable. any ideas where to start? | 04:01 |
| MoMo | the sound card is built in | 04:01 |
| BLZbubba | iirc, i ended up disabling the sound that was built into my motherboard (an old dell low profile desktop) | 04:11 |
| BLZbubba | and then the defaults worked | 04:11 |
| BLZbubba | screwing around with aplay and alsa devices is no fun | 04:11 |
| BLZbubba | also, has anyone evangelized about how much better nvidia is than ati on linux (at the moment anyway) ? | 04:12 |
| BLZbubba | vdpau is the best thing ever | 04:12 |
| BLZbubba | though i am praying that ATI's open source drivers get "good enough" some day | 04:13 |
| MoMo | BLZbubba -- I do like nvidia much better but my funds are low -- and currently the onboard seems pretty good i was just wondering what the trick was | 04:16 |
| BLZbubba | watch for the nvidia 210 or 220 on ebay, they are dirt cheap sometimes. in my case i just disabled the onboard so that the audio would go over the HDMI | 04:19 |
| BLZbubba | the HDMI appears as a sound device | 04:19 |
| BLZbubba | one with very few options | 04:19 |
| BLZbubba | iirc | 04:19 |
| BLZbubba | try this: aplay -L | 04:20 |
| BLZbubba | i have an entry like this: hdmi:CARD=NVidia | 04:20 |
| BLZbubba | but i highly suggest just disabling the onboard so there is no chance of getting the wrong device | 04:21 |
| BLZbubba | unless you're a masochist and love fiddling with asound.rc files and such :) | 04:21 |
| rhpot1991 | MoMo: a few things | 04:48 |
| rhpot1991 | 1. make sure its not muted in alsamixer | 04:48 |
| rhpot1991 | 2. make sure its enabled in the bios | 04:49 |
| rhpot1991 | 3. make sure that it can actually do sound over hdmi and that alsa supports it | 04:49 |
| MoMo | okay -- i'm working on all these right now -- booting it back up -- i moved it to another room | 04:51 |
| MoMo | in the mean time ... does anyone have an HVR-1600 or can answer this? which jack do i hook my cable up to? the one that says TV or ASTC | 04:51 |
| MoMo | aplay -l gives me this | 04:57 |
| BLZbubba | ah you have a built in HDMI connector, not an add on | 04:58 |
| MoMo | card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] | 04:58 |
| BLZbubba | ok in that case don't disable it :P | 04:58 |
| MoMo | subdevices: 1/1 | 04:58 |
| MoMo | subdevice #0: subdeivce #0 | 04:59 |
| MoMo | yeah it's onboard -- sorry | 04:59 |
| BLZbubba | did you try cycling through the devices in mythtv setup? | 04:59 |
| MoMo | what do you mean? | 04:59 |
| BLZbubba | iirc there is something like ALSA:hdmi maybe | 04:59 |
| MoMo | yeah tried that | 04:59 |
| BLZbubba | in mythtv you can choose your sound device | 04:59 |
| MoMo | the sound comes out of the speaker jacks | 04:59 |
| MoMo | if i plug speakers in | 04:59 |
| MoMo | is it worth a shot to disable to onboard speakers? | 05:01 |
| BLZbubba | can't hurt | 05:02 |
| BLZbubba | which video driver are you using? | 05:03 |
| MoMo | how do i tell | 05:03 |
| BLZbubba | you may need the ATI Catalyst propritery drivers | 05:03 |
| BLZbubba | not sure, i just did a google search for hd 4200 mythtv hdmi | 05:03 |
| MoMo | if i launch hardware drivers | 05:04 |
| BLZbubba | fwiw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9820366&postcount=8 | 05:04 |
| Zinn | [ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [ubuntu] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) + GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT + ATI Radeon HD 4200 | 05:04 |
| MoMo | it says ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver | 05:04 |
| MoMo | ati's installer huh? | 05:05 |
| BLZbubba | that's what this one person suggested; but maybe there is another way to install them these days | 05:05 |
| BLZbubba | ubuntu 9.10 is so 2009 | 05:05 |
| _Techie_ | you can install restricted drivers via jockey-gtk | 05:07 |
| BLZbubba | http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26550 | 05:08 |
| MoMo | i typed jockey-gtk and the interface i used to install/activate this ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver showed | 05:09 |
| BLZbubba | that phoronix thread is titled: AMD Catalyst 10.10 For Linux Officially Released | 05:10 |
| BLZbubba | and i think it may even have some .debs to use, or a way to create them | 05:10 |
| MoMo | okay -- let me give the bios diable onboard audio a shot for shits and giggles and then move onto this | 05:11 |
| rhpot1991 | MoMo: sounds like your device is muted | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | check it in alsamixer | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | make sure all the s/pdif entries are unmuted (should read "00") | 05:18 |
| MoMo | i just diabled onboard audio | 05:18 |
| MoMo | and loaded up alsamixer | 05:18 |
| MoMo | it shows the s/pdif -- and 00 | 05:19 |
| MoMo | i can't increase it | 05:19 |
| MoMo | what is the mute command? how do i tell if it's unmuted | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | but aren't you trying to use the onboard audio??? | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | m | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | will say MM if its muted | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | 00 if its not | 05:20 |
| MoMo | i'm trying to use HDMI audio | 05:22 |
| MoMo | through my onboard HDMI connector | 05:22 |
| MoMo | the onboard audio (with the headphone jack plug, works fine) | 05:22 |
| MoMo | does it matter? -- in alsamixer it says chip: ATI RS690/780 HDMI | 05:32 |
| MoMo | so ... digging and i did a less /proc/asound/HDMI/oss_mixer ... | 05:40 |
| MoMo | VOLUME "" 0 | 05:40 |
| MoMo | is that right? | 05:40 |
| MoMo | damn this sucks | 05:45 |
| Zinn | MoMo: Please watch your language. | 05:45 |
| _Techie_ | is there a really easy way to wipe all myth data from mysql and recreate it? | 06:00 |
| mrand | _Techie_: yes... section 23.6 of the documentation | 06:05 |
| _Techie_ | mrand, can you please point me to the correct documentation | 06:08 |
| mrand | _Techie_: google says it is here: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ | 06:12 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | okay, ive now got the mythtv-setup GUI working, however i cannot select the scan button in the channel editor | 06:27 |
| _Techie_ | it is a BT878 based card | 06:34 |
| mrand | _Techie_: sorry, channel scanning is something that very few people on this channel know about. You'd get a much better response on #mythtv-users | 06:35 |
| _Techie_ | thankyou mrand | 06:36 |
| _Techie_ | does anyone in here know how to get a analogue TV tuner to work | 09:12 |
| _Techie_ | DVB-A i do believe | 09:12 |
| _Techie_ | hell, im soo lost atm | 09:15 |
| Zinn | _Techie_: Please watch your language. | 09:15 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: you here? | 19:26 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: I was going to ask you how you were doing your virtualized front ends | 19:26 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, im on the road and can post a howto next week that was the easy part | 21:00 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: probably don't need a howto, just wondering if you could expand on what you were doing with the virtualization part of your frontends. Were you RDP'ing into those vm's to display and control video? | 21:03 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, basically yes 1VM a signed to its own card w/RF controler | 21:24 |
| Homefront_Office | I have a i7 coming for a replacement, I do like having my box in the rack nice and cleean | 21:26 |
| Homefront_Office | baggar11, I think once this is setup with the correct hardware its a helll of a media center system. | 21:31 |
| Homefront_Office | back to meetings | 21:31 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: cool, looking forward to hearing more details, no rush :) | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not sure any VM can utilize vdpau | 21:44 |
| rhpot1991 | and breaking up your tuners to frontends seems like an issue as well | 21:45 |
| rhpot1991 | backends should have all your tuners :) | 21:45 |
| baggar11 | rhpot1991: yesterday he mentioned that he had ordered 3 x hdhomerun's | 22:01 |
| baggar11 | vdpau isn't a requirement either | 22:01 |
| _Techie_ | how can i tell if my TV capture card is a hardware card? | 22:18 |
| rhpot1991 | _Techie_: which card | 22:18 |
| _Techie_ | its not a mainstream card | 22:19 |
| rhpot1991 | baggar11: no its not, I just see a lot of issues with the setup as I understand it | 22:19 |
| _Techie_ | its an analogue card using a BT878 chipset | 22:19 |
| rhpot1991 | coupled with the fact he is having performance issues and is going against many of the things we don't recommend doing | 22:20 |
| tgm4883 | _Techie_, you would look to see if that chipset has a hardware encoder | 22:55 |
| tgm4883 | which IIRC, is no | 22:55 |
| Homefront_Office | rhpot1991, baggar11 one last ime be for I head out, im running the HDHomerun's OTA MythTV Backend and frontend for the Living room TV has HD and 2 pvr 350's TV out w/RF "NOT HD" (running within wincrap w/XBMC) and I dont recall say they were HD.. if I did sorry... I will put together a howto with the hardware that will be needed, I ahve got it running its just way under powered... I will even do a utube on it after I now the i7 does is th | 23:26 |
| Homefront_Office | e fix.... | 23:26 |
| Homefront_Office | gone to dinner | 23:26 |
| Homefront_Office | (running within wincrap w/XBMC) Vmware | 23:27 |
| rhpot1991 | Homefront_Office: thats what I thought, just struggling to get why that setup is better than say a moderate dual/quad core backend and 2 ion boxes | 23:32 |
| baggar11 | Homefront_Office: I was just wondering about how you were incorporating virtualization into you setup. I think it's cool. | 23:35 |
| rhpot1991 | Homefront_Office: and why not XBMC on linux, cut down on the bloat | 23:37 |
| Homefront_Office | rhpot1991, I can't say it is other then I dont have any boes or vcr/DVD ppayers in my rooms other the the TV only.... and if the wife doest watch it she will not have couches eather.... | 23:38 |
| Homefront_Office | Give her a bike | 23:39 |
| Homefront_Office | gone | 23:39 |
