[00:10] 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. [00:12] 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] that should get you pretty close [00:12] IIRC, -bare backs up everything you would need (except media) [00:13] ah- mysql.txt. thanks. my media should be fine if it's on a separate drive, right? [00:13] yea as long as you don't format it [00:13] the separate drive that is [00:16] 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 [03:51] yo yo. [03:52] so for ivtv cards, are the ivtv utilities still necessary? it's been ages since I touched this pvr-250 card... [03:55] mishehu: it should just work [03:55] ok [03:56] it does seem to, but I don't know if it's picking up on the composite instead of the coax [03:56] let me try again, I just made a change [03:58] gotta do some dumping of old vhs family tapes... easiest way - dig up the old pvr250 and load up mythbuntu 10.10 :-) [04:03] mishehu: in mythtv-setup you define what input to use for what [04:18] ok interesting... [04:18] I get audio but no video. [04:18] and that's just when I cat /dev/video0 > some_file.mpg [07:12] 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... [15:24] any idea how I can solve the super-tiny fonts issue that continually bites me with mythbuntu? [15:24] tiny fonts where? [15:27] with many applications, including gnome itself (but oddly not the update manager) [15:28] the fonts are unreadable, 3-4 pixels high [15:29] 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 [15:30] 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] I can't even fix the font issue via the gnome/other UI because I can't read it to find the appropriate setting [15:32] 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) [16:03] ok, fixed it :)
