[00:10] <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.
[00:12] <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)
[00:13] <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
[00:16] <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
[03:51] <mishehu> yo yo.
[03:52] <mishehu> so for ivtv cards, are the ivtv utilities still necessary?   it's been ages since I touched this pvr-250 card...
[03:55] <rhpot1991> mishehu: it should just work
[03:55] <mishehu> ok
[03:56] <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
[03:58] <mishehu> gotta do some dumping of old vhs family tapes...   easiest way - dig up the old pvr250 and load up mythbuntu 10.10 :-)
[04:03] <rhpot1991> mishehu: in mythtv-setup you define what input to use for what
[04:18] <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
[07:12] <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...
[15:24] <stuartm> any idea how I can solve the super-tiny fonts issue that continually bites me with mythbuntu?
[15:24] <rhpot1991> tiny fonts where?
[15:27] <stuartm> with many applications, including gnome itself (but oddly not the update manager)
[15:28] <stuartm> the fonts are unreadable, 3-4 pixels high
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <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
[15:32] <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)
[16:03] <stuartm> ok, fixed it :)
