| ac00perw | Does anyone have a good guide for performing a clean install of Mythbuntu? I prematurely upgraded to 10.10 and want to return to 10.04 and restore my mythtv settings/setup. I have all my files on a separate drive and will backup the DB to that drive as well. | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | ac00perw, I don't think there is a guide for that sort of thing. You will want to install 10.04, upgrade to mythtv 0.23.1 (or 0.24), restore the database and mysql.txt files | 00:12 |
| tgm4883 | that should get you pretty close | 00:12 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC, -bare backs up everything you would need (except media) | 00:12 |
| ac00perw | ah- mysql.txt. thanks. my media should be fine if it's on a separate drive, right? | 00:13 |
| tgm4883 | yea as long as you don't format it | 00:13 |
| tgm4883 | the separate drive that is | 00:13 |
| ac00perw | am I crazy to do this? I have had a lot of issues getting lirc and audio over hdmi to work. not sure why i upgraded in the first place. it was working just fine, it's just that upgrade mgr kept nagging | 00:16 |
| mishehu | yo yo. | 03:51 |
| mishehu | so for ivtv cards, are the ivtv utilities still necessary? it's been ages since I touched this pvr-250 card... | 03:52 |
| rhpot1991 | mishehu: it should just work | 03:55 |
| mishehu | ok | 03:55 |
| mishehu | it does seem to, but I don't know if it's picking up on the composite instead of the coax | 03:56 |
| mishehu | let me try again, I just made a change | 03:56 |
| mishehu | gotta do some dumping of old vhs family tapes... easiest way - dig up the old pvr250 and load up mythbuntu 10.10 :-) | 03:58 |
| rhpot1991 | mishehu: in mythtv-setup you define what input to use for what | 04:03 |
| mishehu | ok interesting... | 04:18 |
| mishehu | I get audio but no video. | 04:18 |
| mishehu | and that's just when I cat /dev/video0 > some_file.mpg | 04:18 |
| mishehu | ok this is driving me batty. on my pvr 250 card, I can get video but no audio on the coax, and I can get audio but not video on the composite... | 07:12 |
| stuartm | any idea how I can solve the super-tiny fonts issue that continually bites me with mythbuntu? | 15:24 |
| rhpot1991 | tiny fonts where? | 15:24 |
| stuartm | with many applications, including gnome itself (but oddly not the update manager) | 15:27 |
| stuartm | the fonts are unreadable, 3-4 pixels high | 15:28 |
| stuartm | I've had this issue with ubuntu on the TV time and time again, it's always been annoying but since 99% of the time I configure it via ssh and it's running mythfrontend it hasn't been something I _need_ to solve | 15:29 |
| stuartm | only now I'm trying to use VLC, vlc doesn't deinterlace by default and I cannot fix it because the UI is unusable | 15:30 |
| stuartm | I can't even fix the font issue via the gnome/other UI because I can't read it to find the appropriate setting | 15:30 |
| stuartm | right this moment I'll settle for the name of a DVD playing application which does deinterlace by default (and not mythfrontend since we're stuck with 0.23 which has DVD related bugs which were fixed in 0.24) | 15:32 |
| stuartm | ok, fixed it :) | 16:03 |
