[15:33] is there an easy way to convert an mpeg .ts to a regular program stream? [15:53] looks like it is buried in libdvb-dev, but you have to install the source and build the dvb-mpegtools directory [15:53] why wouldn't they just build those tools and put them in a deb in the repository? [17:03] When I upgraded my mythtv from Lucid to Maverick my M$ remote control started behaving strange [17:06] it works, it's just that the buttons have changed to a very bad configuration [17:09] BLZbubba, i'd file a bug against that source package. surely that can be done [17:09] #ubuntu-bug libdvb-dev [17:09] that should do it for you [17:10] ernstp, check and make sure lirc is still installed. it might have reverted to the native support that's available if lirc is no longer installed, or if it's not working properly [17:10] if lirc is installed, make sure lirc-modules-source isn't [17:10] there's been problems reported on that [17:10] right, thanks superm1 [17:11] I'm guessing something like that because the volume keys are picked up by the desktop [17:11] eventually the native support will be used instead, but we're not there yet [17:12] aha [17:12] well lirc was installed [17:12] I did dpkg-reconfigure lirc [17:12] superm1, think that helps? [17:12] it could potentially, dpeending what the root cause is here [17:13] lirc-modules-source isn't installed right? [17:13] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] [17:13] * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your [17:13] * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf [17:13] correct, it's not installed [17:13] then are you running a non-ubuntu kernel perhaps? [17:13] nope [17:13] or like a mainline kernel? [17:14] hm, okay, then check out dmesg for errors about lirc [17:14] it should say why they couldn't load [17:14] is there special lirc work in ubuntu kernel? [17:14] perhaps they were already loaded... [17:14] yes there is a special patchset in the ubuntu kernel that wasn't in mainline at the time of 10.10 launch [17:15] it's there for 2.6.37 though now [17:15] the module name is 'mceusb' and 'lirc_dev' [17:15] so look for errors in dmesg about that [17:16] superm1, it works now! [17:16] though now there's superfast key repeat [17:17] nice with key repeat though! it's just too fast [17:19] it might still be picking up the native support [17:20] are the keys working outside myth still? [17:21] superm1, oh I see [17:21] yes [17:21] look at "cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols" [17:21] and I get two keypresses [17:21] if native support was disabled it would look like this: [17:21] rc5 nec rc6 jvc sony [lirc] [17:22] that's what the lirc init script does these days [17:22] it loads the kernel modules, disables native support and then starts lircd [17:22] cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols [17:22] [rc-5] [nec] [rc-6] [jvc] [sony] [lirc] [17:22] so not [17:22] yup all still enabled [17:22] /etc/init.d/lirc stop [17:22] and then [17:22] /etc/init.d/lirc start [17:22] should hopefully reset all of it [17:23] doesnt....

[17:31] looked for that... how does it look? [17:32] well it should be calling "in_kernel_support" "disable" [17:32] "in_kernel_support" [17:32] right [17:32] ! [17:33] Sorry I don't know about [17:33] you can try running that stuff manually in your own shell script, but it's pretty straightforward... [17:36] superm1, oh, there's no /sys/devices/virtual/rc/ directory :-) [17:36] wha? [17:36] how's that possible... [17:36] superm1, did I mention I continued to natty after maverick? [17:36] lol [17:37] superm1, so it's 2.6.37 [17:37] yeah i think you conveniently left out that part :) [17:37] superm1, oh! :-) [17:37] so modify the init script to use the new directory, which i'm guessing is only in /sys/class or so [17:37] and please get a bug filed about this against the lirc source package [17:37] superm1, well the original problem happened when I upgraded to maverick [17:37] amd we [17:38] and we're still solving a real problem :-) [17:38] yes, of course! [17:38] i'm glad to hear of people in myth* community actually testing natty early, that's great [17:38] ls -l /sys/class/rc/ [17:38] rc0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/rc/rc0 [17:39] rc1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:03:07.0/rc/rc1 [17:39] :-) [17:40] yeah your HTPC is not a system you want to upgrade when you've got it working [17:40] on maverick, it's [17:40] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2011-01-06 11:21 rc0 -> ../../devices/virtual/rc/rc0 [17:40] yeah that's unfortunately the problem that we see, people dont upgrade until like RC [17:40] and then find all sorts of bugs at inconvenient times to fix them [17:40] cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols [17:40] [rc-5] [nec] [rc-6] [jvc] [sony] [lirc] [17:40] ernst@dront:~$ cat /sys/class/rc/rc1/protocols [17:40] [builtin] [17:40] or worse, they dont upgrade at all, and we dont find out until new people do fresh installs [17:47] superm1, you part of the mythbuntu team then I guess? [17:47] yeah [17:50] just installed mythbuntu.. i need to configure my network devices, but i'm not sure what the mythtv passwd for sudo is... [17:50] kb3ien, it's the password you set during install [17:51] kb3ien, the thing with sudo is that it's your own password [17:51] doh. didnt see myself setting one.... [17:51] nevr mind, i did. something simple... [17:52] i'm trying it with roku for a front end... wish me luck. [17:55] vi is installed but it's got issues... [17:56] sudo xterm helpd lots. [17:56] the vi installed is part of vi-tiny i think [17:56] it's vim-tiny or something right? [17:56] there is a full one in the archive [17:56] hehe :-) [17:58] superm1, #698208 [17:58] bug 698208 [17:58] thanks [17:58] Bug 698208 in lirc (Ubuntu) "lirc init script doesn't disable other methods on natty" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/698208 [17:59] superm1, patch attached [18:00] thanks, i might muck with a little more based on what j-rod said, but i'll attribute you for the original [18:01] what did j-rod say? :-) [18:05] ernstp, http://pastebin.com/w5MvxNwJ [18:05] [pastebin.com] === modified file 'debian/changelog' --- debian/ch - Supermario [18:05] can you give that a shot? it's an adaptation of what you said mixed with what j-rod was recommending [18:07] find /sys/class/rc/ -name protocols doesn't work [18:07] find doesn't follow links [18:07] oh i didn't use your whole path [18:07] that's why I had rc/*/ [18:07] okay so putting in your path instead, is everything else good with that? [18:07] my bad [18:08] yeah, looks good [18:09] assuming echo "lirc" works, not familiar with the interface... [18:10] that's what j-rod said should work [18:10] since you're already on natty, i was hoping to use you as a guinnea pig to double check. i've only got it in VM's at this point [18:16] superm1, I can check tonight, busy for a while [18:46] superm1, back, let's see [18:49] superm1, it works [20:09] ernstp, spectacular, thanks [21:11] so far so good. I dont recall setting a mysql password at install time, mythbuntu-10.10 is there a set password? [21:11] /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt [21:11] will have it [21:16] merci! [21:16] php.roku is now generating http 200s! woo! [21:16] all i need are some shows. can i make file shares available easily to mythtv? [21:17] * kb3ien eyes a stack of dr who cdroms... [21:18] kb3ien: look at mythvideo [21:25] looks kinda like what i want. storage groups are needed to share the content from the backend to the front end? [21:25] kb3ien: thats the best way to do it [21:25] you could share stuff out yourself with nfs but thats more of a pain [21:27] its a case of wanting the roku to get the nfs shared files via the back end... [21:34] if i put content in /var/lib/mythtv/videos it should become available on other front ends too? [23:39] So i'm trying to boot into the mythbuntu 10.10 32 bit CD...it loads just fine, but on reboot, it just sits at the Mythbuntu screen (with the 5 dots) [23:40] and just sits there...i can do a CTRL + ALT + DEL and it reboots fine [23:40] CNLiberal, if you hit esc, does it say what it is waiting on? [23:40] i tried hitting ESC, and it stays on the MYTHBUNTU screen [23:40] on a couple boots, I noticed an IVTV error [23:41] TVEEPROM cannot autodetect tuner or something like that...so i removed the PVR 250 and 350 cards [23:41] and did another reinstall...same issue [23:41] i have even tried the install from the "Try MythTV" live distro [23:41] still no go [23:43] i'll try rebooting and hit the ESC sooner [23:43] i can hit CTRL ALT DEL and it reboots fine...like it's a good reboot [23:45] That didn't do any good...let me try unplugging the second SATA drive i have in there...it's formatted as JFS, maybe myth hates that [23:47] same result... [23:47] so now I'm stumped...I'm gonna try to install the 10.10 full ubuntu [23:47] is that recommended or not? [23:52] Any other ideas guys? or should I try my full install idea?
