[03:18] 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] i fixed it once but an apt-get apparently broke it again for me, did I do something wrong setting it up? [03:19] BLZbubba: what url are you trying to hit under /mythweb? [03:20] could alwasy do an apt-get remove --purge mythweb and then apt-get install mythweb [03:20] i'm trying to hit /mythweb [03:21] first page, this happens right after i put in my password [03:21] i think it was something about a default theme last time maybe [03:21] looks like there is a dup in that path /tmpl/tmpl [03:24] ah looks like an error in the error page === peterpops_ is now known as peterpops [03:24] _shared/tmpl/'.tmpl.'/header.php [03:25] is tmpl a constant or something? [03:31] 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 [03:35] "setenv db_server" @!#%%#^ - what about /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt ?\ [03:35] and how about not replacing that with new mythweb debs too :) [03:37] 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 [03:38] so if there isn't an official switch a fork is in order [03:41] 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 [03:44] BLZbubba: you hit s to skip [03:44] otherwise it waits for it [03:44] and no, we are staying ubuntu, hence mythbuntu [03:44] I believe you should be able to avoid waiting for the drive by setting the proper flags [03:46] well the point is that upstart is a disaster and not ready for prime time [03:47] but what flags are you talking about? i would love to give it a try [03:48] i ended up with the purple mythtv splash screen with 5 dots and no text of any kind, and it stayed there forever [03:49] people in #upstart are a-holes too, it is just bad news [04:01] 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] the sound card is built in [04:11] iirc, i ended up disabling the sound that was built into my motherboard (an old dell low profile desktop) [04:11] and then the defaults worked [04:11] screwing around with aplay and alsa devices is no fun [04:12] also, has anyone evangelized about how much better nvidia is than ati on linux (at the moment anyway) ? [04:12] vdpau is the best thing ever [04:13] though i am praying that ATI's open source drivers get "good enough" some day [04:16] 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 [04:19] 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] the HDMI appears as a sound device [04:19] one with very few options [04:19] iirc [04:20] try this: aplay -L [04:20] i have an entry like this: hdmi:CARD=NVidia [04:21] but i highly suggest just disabling the onboard so there is no chance of getting the wrong device [04:21] unless you're a masochist and love fiddling with asound.rc files and such :) [04:48] MoMo: a few things [04:48] 1. make sure its not muted in alsamixer [04:49] 2. make sure its enabled in the bios [04:49] 3. make sure that it can actually do sound over hdmi and that alsa supports it [04:51] okay -- i'm working on all these right now -- booting it back up -- i moved it to another room [04:51] 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 [04:57] aplay -l gives me this [04:58] ah you have a built in HDMI connector, not an add on [04:58] card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] [04:58] ok in that case don't disable it :P [04:58] subdevices: 1/1 [04:59] subdevice #0: subdeivce #0 [04:59] yeah it's onboard -- sorry [04:59] did you try cycling through the devices in mythtv setup? [04:59] what do you mean? [04:59] iirc there is something like ALSA:hdmi maybe [04:59] yeah tried that [04:59] in mythtv you can choose your sound device [04:59] the sound comes out of the speaker jacks [04:59] if i plug speakers in [05:01] is it worth a shot to disable to onboard speakers? [05:02] can't hurt [05:03] which video driver are you using? [05:03] how do i tell [05:03] you may need the ATI Catalyst propritery drivers [05:03] not sure, i just did a google search for hd 4200 mythtv hdmi [05:04] if i launch hardware drivers [05:04] fwiw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9820366&postcount=8 [05:04] [ubuntuforums.org] Ubuntu Forums - View Single Post - [ubuntu] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) + GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT + ATI Radeon HD 4200 [05:04] it says ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [05:05] ati's installer huh? [05:05] that's what this one person suggested; but maybe there is another way to install them these days [05:05] ubuntu 9.10 is so 2009 [05:07] <_Techie_> you can install restricted drivers via jockey-gtk [05:08] http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26550 [05:09] i typed jockey-gtk and the interface i used to install/activate this ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver showed [05:10] that phoronix thread is titled: AMD Catalyst 10.10 For Linux Officially Released [05:10] and i think it may even have some .debs to use, or a way to create them [05:11] okay -- let me give the bios diable onboard audio a shot for shits and giggles and then move onto this [05:17] MoMo: sounds like your device is muted [05:17] check it in alsamixer [05:18] make sure all the s/pdif entries are unmuted (should read "00") [05:18] i just diabled onboard audio [05:18] and loaded up alsamixer [05:19] it shows the s/pdif -- and 00 [05:19] i can't increase it [05:19] what is the mute command? how do i tell if it's unmuted [05:20] but aren't you trying to use the onboard audio??? [05:20] m [05:20] will say MM if its muted [05:20] 00 if its not [05:22] i'm trying to use HDMI audio [05:22] through my onboard HDMI connector [05:22] the onboard audio (with the headphone jack plug, works fine) [05:32] does it matter? -- in alsamixer it says chip: ATI RS690/780 HDMI [05:40] so ... digging and i did a less /proc/asound/HDMI/oss_mixer ... [05:40] VOLUME "" 0 [05:40] is that right? [05:45] damn this sucks [05:45] MoMo: Please watch your language. [06:00] <_Techie_> is there a really easy way to wipe all myth data from mysql and recreate it? [06:05] _Techie_: yes... section 23.6 of the documentation [06:08] <_Techie_> mrand, can you please point me to the correct documentation [06:12] _Techie_: google says it is here: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ [06:12] [www.mythtv.org] MythTV, Open Source DVR [06:27] <_Techie_> okay, ive now got the mythtv-setup GUI working, however i cannot select the scan button in the channel editor [06:34] <_Techie_> it is a BT878 based card [06:35] _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 [06:36] <_Techie_> thankyou mrand [09:12] <_Techie_> does anyone in here know how to get a analogue TV tuner to work [09:12] <_Techie_> DVB-A i do believe [09:15] <_Techie_> hell, im soo lost atm [09:15] _Techie_: Please watch your language. [19:26] Homefront_Office: you here? [19:26] Homefront_Office: I was going to ask you how you were doing your virtualized front ends [21:00] baggar11, im on the road and can post a howto next week that was the easy part [21:03] 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? [21:24] baggar11, basically yes 1VM a signed to its own card w/RF controler [21:26] I have a i7 coming for a replacement, I do like having my box in the rack nice and cleean [21:31] baggar11, I think once this is setup with the correct hardware its a helll of a media center system. [21:31] back to meetings [21:41] Homefront_Office: cool, looking forward to hearing more details, no rush :) [21:44] I'm not sure any VM can utilize vdpau [21:45] and breaking up your tuners to frontends seems like an issue as well [21:45] backends should have all your tuners :) [22:01] rhpot1991: yesterday he mentioned that he had ordered 3 x hdhomerun's [22:01] vdpau isn't a requirement either [22:18] <_Techie_> how can i tell if my TV capture card is a hardware card? [22:18] _Techie_: which card [22:19] <_Techie_> its not a mainstream card [22:19] 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 [22:20] coupled with the fact he is having performance issues and is going against many of the things we don't recommend doing [22:55] _Techie_, you would look to see if that chipset has a hardware encoder [22:55] which IIRC, is no [23:26] 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] e fix.... [23:26] gone to dinner [23:27] (running within wincrap w/XBMC) Vmware [23:32] 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 [23:35] Homefront_Office: I was just wondering about how you were incorporating virtualization into you setup. I think it's cool. [23:37] Homefront_Office: and why not XBMC on linux, cut down on the bloat [23:38] 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.... [23:39] Give her a bike [23:39] gone
