Zinn[mythbuntu.pastebin.com] 2011-01-08 11:00:14.062 mythbackend version: fixes01:05
dpgravesthese are my mythbackend logs and cannot get capture card either as dummy or as the real thing to work please help Capture card i have is leadtek dtv2000ds01:08
superm1dpgraves, how are you starting mythbackend?01:14
superm1via the upstart job?01:14
dpgravesservice mythbackend start01:15
superm1 okay so that's correct01:15
superm1do you actually have a /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0?01:15
dpgraveshave the dtv200ds not configured yet not sure how to config happy to just setup as dummy if can get some help till i get the card configured down the track01:16
superm1well the backend doesn't start when it's misconfigured (clearly)01:16
dpgravesso how do01:17
superm1so run mythtv-setup and get it configured right01:17
dpgravessorry how do u set as a dummy then so use it01:17
dpgravesusing card type dvb dtv picks up afatech af9013 dvb-t01:19
dpgravesor do i set it to one that will fail to probe01:21
dpgraveshave removed the dvb card and just put a dummy on in eg analog which is reporting failed to set as dummy same issue cannot start backend.01:26
superm1if it picks up something when you pick dvb, that sounds correct to me01:28
superm1these are more generic questions though not at all specific to ubuntu, you might get more specific answers and more help in #mythtv-users01:28
dpgravesCheers01:28
dpgraveswill try there thank superm101:29
superm1okay best of luck :)01:29
kcorcoran_anyone avaialable to assist me in getting my tuner card configured?04:22
Cru_Hey, wondered if someone could help me.  I just added a hard drive to my mythtv box but now when it turns on it only goes to the "mythtvbox login" screen on the terminal and never enters the GUI of the OS or MythTV.  I just am sitting at the terminal (I manually typed in a login and signed in, but still nothing)04:52
Cru_I remember having a problem similar to that before....it had something to do with "X" background I think but don't remember04:53
PowderkingHi all! I'm trying to install the mythbuntu-repos package. Unfortunately I had some difficulties. Now it can't find the ppa server: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/fZ7FQEw4 (see lines 12 and 43). Do only I have the problem?13:24
Zinn[mythbuntu.pastebin.com] Bash | Ign http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/res - Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/reposmyth/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found13:24
PowderkingOk, I think I can ignore that message when updating. This bring me to my next question: After installing the repos mythbackend doesn't start anymore. Here's what I did: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/qGiu1hm2 Do I have to do anything else maybe it's better to download this file: http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb?13:34
Zinn[mythbuntu.pastebin.com] Bash | $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/reposmyth - Problem with Mythbuntu Repos13:35
superm1Powderking, i notice you have a non US server for main updates- are you using LANG= something else?14:43
superm1i think there has been some problems reported when that happens14:43
superm1i'm not sure tgm4883 actually fixed them though14:43
Powderkingsuperm1: Thanks for your answer. I live in Switzerland, but when I enter "$ echo $LANG" I get en_US.UTF-8.14:48
superm1dang, i guess that was wishful thinking :)14:48
superm1i wonder if there is anythign else about your environment that's causing problems then14:49
superm1we don't get many reports like that14:49
superm1on that second pastebin are you sure you got the right repository?14:50
superm1i thought the repository should be called "repos"14:50
superm1eg https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/repos14:50
Zinn[launchpad.net] Mythbuntu Repo Managment : “Mythbuntu Developers” team14:51
superm1but if you just want to add the 0.24 PPA, here's that one https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.2414:51
PowderkingStrange, because now I get the same errors from any machine in my home. I tried: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/reposmyth14:51
Zinn[launchpad.net] 0.24 : “Mythbuntu Developers” team14:51
superm1it should be apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/repos I think14:51
superm1apt-add-repository puts even bad links in /etc/apt/sources.list.d I believe too, so you might need to remove the wrong ones after the fact14:52
PowderkingI wanted to switch from a single Mythbuntu box to a backend that records when the frontend isn't running. Therefore I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 because of LTS. Now I was told that it came with a buggy MythTV so I tried to update.14:53
PowderkingHow can I remove them? Can I just delete the content in /etc/apt/sources.list.d?14:54
superm1that's a fine reason to add autobuilds, just something went wrong in the process :)14:54
superm1yeah14:54
superm1you can cat the individual files to check them if you dont want to accidentally remove good ones14:55
PowderkingYes, first the update process didn't get me any errors despite that it told me that I have duplicates in the sources list.14:55
PowderkingStrange: I get no errors when I do: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.24"14:58
PowderkingBtw, maybe it's not the right place. When I added the 0.24 repo and try to "sudo apt-get upgrade" the packages are held back. How would I update them in the terminal?15:01
superm1you need to apt-get dist-upgrade15:08
superm1because they pull in extra things15:08
superm1if you were doing this on a desktop machine, update manager would have offered you a 'partial upgrade' (equivalent to dist-upgrade)15:08
PowderkingI'm doing this on a headless server via ssh. Won't dist-upgrade upgrade to 10.10 as well?15:12
PowderkingAh no, I think I mixed something up. If I wanted to upgrade to 10.10 I had to change sources.list and then do a apt-get dist-upgrade...15:16
PowderkingCool, with the https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.24 repo everything worked well (at least I could start mythtv-setup and mythweb works as well). Will now try to record something and update the frontends. Thanks alot for your help :-)15:23
Zinn[launchpad.net] 0.24 : “Mythbuntu Developers” team15:23
PowderkingBtw: Would you recommend trying the daily builds again or should I stick with the 0.24 archive?15:24
superm10.24 is daily builds15:24
superm1that's the repo that mythbuntu-repos deb should have enabled for you :)15:25
superm1glad it worked15:25
superm1and also, FYI don't upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 by changing sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade15:25
PowderkingOh, ok. Thanks again :-)15:25
superm1there is a tool for doing it that will handle things that aren't represented well in debian packaging15:25
superm1sudo do-release-upgrade15:26
superm1on servers, or update-manager -d on desktops15:26
PowderkingGreat info :-) Thanks again, you really saved my day :-D15:28
nordleIs anyone else having issues connecting to mythbuntu.org, site seems to be getting hammered.  Or its me.17:35
Zinn[mythbuntu.org] About Mythbuntu | Mythbuntu17:35
tgm4883nordle, if Zinn responds, that means he can get to it17:36

Cru_>i wondered if someone could help me. I just installed a new hd and now when I log into mythbuntu it nolonger boots into gui but just to the terminal screen for logging in. Even when I unplug the added hd and have it originally set up it stays the same and doesnt enter into gui of mythbuntu17:36
tgm4883Cru_, doesn't sound like something adding a hard drive would do, did you do any updates at the same time?17:37
nordletgm4883:  OK, many thanks.  It's my end then.  A bit annoying, moving from Slack 11 mythtv 0.21 box to mythbuntu 10.10 and _hopefully_ 0.24  but without the website I think I will get lost.17:38
Cru_nope.  here is all I did: logged out. added new hd.  used livecd to clone it.  Restarted.  now doesnt log in.  unplugged extra hd. same problem.17:38
Cru_I had this problem before relating to nvidia and xstart, but not sure what to do.  perhaps adding hardware made it re-set?17:38
Cru_ok...new update.  when i try to run startx i get an error that says "failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module" - screens found, but none have a usable config17:59
Cru_how would i either re-install via terminal or uninstall them so it boots into normal os?17:59

=== mvetketel is now known as bogus-
rhpot1991channel scanning isn't dropped20:22
rhpot1991it didn't work for analog at one point20:22
kcorcoran_rhpot1991:  that may be my issue.  how can i verify that?20:23
rhpot1991kcorcoran_: something like that I'd hop into #mythtv-users and ask for help in there20:24
kcorcoran_this blows...so close. ;)  it'll work itself out sooner or later.  :)20:25
nordleFresh 10.10 install with updates, is anyone familiar with dvd playback issues?  "libdvdread: Could not open /dev/cdrom with libdvdcss."21:41
nordlels -la /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2011-01-08 21:35 /dev/cdrom -> sr0      brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2011-01-08 21:35 /dev/sr021:42
tgm4883nordle, is the disk mounted?21:46
tgm4883should show up i /media21:46
nordletgm4883:  Hi there :)  It's a dvdrw drive Primary device on Secondary IDE (nothing on Primary IDE), just fitted a SATA HD to SATA1 on Promise controller on Asus K8vSE.  And did a fresh install.  Why would a dvd be mounted and appear in /media ?21:51
tgm4883um, because it's media?21:53
tgm4883if it's not mounted, perhaps there is an issue reading the DVD21:53
tgm4883in either case, I have to make a quick run to the store21:54
nordletgm4883:  Sorry, I should have mentioned, I'm coming from Slackware ...... I know not about the new ways :)21:54
nordletgm4883:  I just tried the disk in my ubuntu desktop and it mounted under /media automatically (never noticed before), so its not doing it on mythbuntu for me at the moment.  I'm in the cdrom group....  I'll check the fstab and udev rules to see if there is any difference between the two boxes.21:57
nordlemmm  looks like its the drive, seems to want to only read/mount some dvd's.  My NEC DVDRW mounts anything, this LiteOn unit appears fussy.  Maybe a firmware update would help....  Maybe a new drive.22:51
