[01:01] Have a fresh install ubuntu 10.10 with myth 0.24 from the repos with auto build enabled and cannot get the mythbackend to start up errors about capture card [01:05] http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/P6EtEbfN [01:05] [mythbuntu.pastebin.com] 2011-01-08 11:00:14.062 mythbackend version: fixes [01:08] these 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 dtv2000ds [01:14] dpgraves, how are you starting mythbackend? [01:14] via the upstart job? [01:15] service mythbackend start [01:15] okay so that's correct [01:15] do you actually have a /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0? [01:16] have 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 track [01:16] well the backend doesn't start when it's misconfigured (clearly) [01:17] so how do [01:17] so run mythtv-setup and get it configured right [01:17] sorry how do u set as a dummy then so use it [01:19] using card type dvb dtv picks up afatech af9013 dvb-t [01:21] or do i set it to one that will fail to probe [01:26] have 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. [01:28] if it picks up something when you pick dvb, that sounds correct to me [01:28] these are more generic questions though not at all specific to ubuntu, you might get more specific answers and more help in #mythtv-users [01:28] Cheers [01:29] will try there thank superm1 [01:29] okay best of luck :) [04:22] anyone avaialable to assist me in getting my tuner card configured? [04:52] 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) [04:53] I remember having a problem similar to that before....it had something to do with "X" background I think but don't remember [13:24] Hi 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] [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 Found [13:34] Ok, 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? [13:35] [mythbuntu.pastebin.com] Bash | $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/reposmyth - Problem with Mythbuntu Repos [14:43] Powderking, i notice you have a non US server for main updates- are you using LANG= something else? [14:43] i think there has been some problems reported when that happens [14:43] i'm not sure tgm4883 actually fixed them though [14:48] superm1: Thanks for your answer. I live in Switzerland, but when I enter "$ echo $LANG" I get en_US.UTF-8. [14:48] dang, i guess that was wishful thinking :) [14:49] i wonder if there is anythign else about your environment that's causing problems then [14:49] we don't get many reports like that [14:50] on that second pastebin are you sure you got the right repository? [14:50] i thought the repository should be called "repos" [14:50] eg https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/repos [14:51] [launchpad.net] Mythbuntu Repo Managment : âMythbuntu Developersâ team [14:51] but if you just want to add the 0.24 PPA, here's that one https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.24 [14:51] Strange, because now I get the same errors from any machine in my home. I tried: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/reposmyth [14:51] [launchpad.net] 0.24 : âMythbuntu Developersâ team [14:51] it should be apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/repos I think [14:52] apt-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 fact [14:53] I 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. [14:54] How can I remove them? Can I just delete the content in /etc/apt/sources.list.d? [14:54] that's a fine reason to add autobuilds, just something went wrong in the process :) [14:54] yeah [14:55] you can cat the individual files to check them if you dont want to accidentally remove good ones [14:55] Yes, first the update process didn't get me any errors despite that it told me that I have duplicates in the sources list. [14:58] Strange: I get no errors when I do: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.24" [15:01] Btw, 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? [15:08] you need to apt-get dist-upgrade [15:08] because they pull in extra things [15:08] if you were doing this on a desktop machine, update manager would have offered you a 'partial upgrade' (equivalent to dist-upgrade) [15:12] I'm doing this on a headless server via ssh. Won't dist-upgrade upgrade to 10.10 as well? [15:16] Ah 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... [15:23] Cool, 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] [launchpad.net] 0.24 : âMythbuntu Developersâ team [15:24] Btw: Would you recommend trying the daily builds again or should I stick with the 0.24 archive? [15:24] 0.24 is daily builds [15:25] that's the repo that mythbuntu-repos deb should have enabled for you :) [15:25] glad it worked [15:25] and also, FYI don't upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 by changing sources.list and running apt-get dist-upgrade [15:25] Oh, ok. Thanks again :-) [15:25] there is a tool for doing it that will handle things that aren't represented well in debian packaging [15:26] sudo do-release-upgrade [15:26] on servers, or update-manager -d on desktops [15:28] Great info :-) Thanks again, you really saved my day :-D [17:35] Is anyone else having issues connecting to mythbuntu.org, site seems to be getting hammered. Or its me. [17:35] [mythbuntu.org] About Mythbuntu | Mythbuntu [17:36] nordle, if Zinn responds, that means he can get to it [17:36] Hi tgm4883, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [17:36] and I just checked, I can get to it too [17:36] > 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 mythbuntu [17:37] Cru_, doesn't sound like something adding a hard drive would do, did you do any updates at the same time? [17:38] tgm4883: 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] 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] I had this problem before relating to nvidia and xstart, but not sure what to do. perhaps adding hardware made it re-set? [17:59] 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 config [17:59] how would i either re-install via terminal or uninstall them so it boots into normal os? [19:05] anyone avaialable to assist me in getting my tuner card configured? when i run the scan to find channels, it finds nothing. Help! :) [19:29] rhpot1991: you around? [19:31] anyone available to assist getting my tuner card configured? when i run the channel scan it does not find any channels. using a hauppage WinTV-HVR 1600. any help appreciated. [19:31] what version of myth? [19:31] newest version of mythbuntu [19:32] i can give exact version if you can tell me how [19:32] channel scan was dropped in myth, a few years ago [19:32] in mythbuntu it has a screen to run a channel scan [19:32] I'm just saying what the mythtv people always say :) [19:33] I haven't used channel scan since myth 0.15 [19:33] and current is 0.25 I think [19:33] and I think it was dropped in 0.21 [19:33] okay, can you tell me howelse to get channels? i don't know [19:33] setup a guide source [19:33] to pull in scheduling info [19:33] is this something you can help walk me through....very new to mythytv...and ubuntu for that matter. [19:34] not really, have work to do :( [19:36] ok [19:56] anyone available to assist getting my tuner card configured? when i run the channel scan it does not find any channels. using a hauppage WinTV-HVR 1600. any help appreciated. === mvetketel is now known as bogus- [20:22] channel scanning isn't dropped [20:22] it didn't work for analog at one point [20:23] rhpot1991: that may be my issue. how can i verify that? [20:24] kcorcoran_: something like that I'd hop into #mythtv-users and ask for help in there [20:25] this blows...so close. ;) it'll work itself out sooner or later. :) [21:41] Fresh 10.10 install with updates, is anyone familiar with dvd playback issues? "libdvdread: Could not open /dev/cdrom with libdvdcss." [21:42] ls -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/sr0 [21:46] nordle, is the disk mounted? [21:46] should show up i /media [21:51] tgm4883: 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 ? [21:53] um, because it's media? [21:53] if it's not mounted, perhaps there is an issue reading the DVD [21:54] in either case, I have to make a quick run to the store [21:54] tgm4883: Sorry, I should have mentioned, I'm coming from Slackware ...... I know not about the new ways :) [21:57] tgm4883: 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. [22:51] mmm 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.
