tanjeffHi. I just installed mythbuntu 10.10 and have it basically running, except for the remote control.16:32
tanjeffI use the Nova-T card as remote, and when I press buttons, I get keystrokes, even without lircd running.16:33
tanjeffThe problem is that 50% of the buttons don't generate keypresses (I look at it with xev) and that I don't get any lirc events (irw doesn't show any output)16:34
tanjeffI just don't understand how things works. I'm used to lircd and don't know why keyboard events are being generated...16:36
tanjeff...and why no lirc events are being generated at all, not even for the "working" buttons.16:37
mrandtanjeff: remote support was pulled into the linux kernel, I believe including the kernel that comes with 10.1016:41
mrandthere is a way to suspend the kernel remote support though, so you can revert to lirc if need be16:42
tanjeffI see.16:46
tanjeffWell, I would like to use the kernel support (in fact I would like to go go the easier way ;-)).16:46
tanjeffIs there a way to configure the remote somehow, so that the missing buttons start to work?16:47
tanjeffOr, can you give me a link to some documentation or something?16:47
mrandI'm trying to find something... not having much luck thus far.  If you can stay online for a while, superm1` might know.16:48
mrandOne thing:  "echo -rc-6 > /sys/.../protocols" will turn off the in-kernel rc6 decoder16:49
tanjeffNo, problem, I can wait for a while.16:49
tanjeffmrand: found ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:03:00.2/rc/rc0/protocols, but writing to it fails with "bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument"16:53
mrandtanjeff: I had hoped to play around with this on my test machine over the past several months, but work has preempted that - so unfortunately I'm still running 10.0416:55
tanjeffAs far as I see, lirc was basically moved into the kernel. Seems not be rocket science, after all.16:58
mrandtanjeff: yeah, jarod is in charge of both, and they want the transition to be as seemless as possible.  lirc-mceusb to become mceusb, etc.17:04
tanjeffmrand: next problem, I'm sorry. My mythtvfrontend says "database has a newer TC schema (1264) than expected (1254)"17:11
tanjeffIs there an easy way to re-init the database or so?17:11
tanjeffI have no recordings to loose17:12
tanjeffAnd I touched nothing, of course ;-)17:13

LachdananHi Any/Everyone17:21
mrandtanjeff: hrm.  that shouldn't be necessarily.  I'd just make sure everything is updated to the latest 0.24-fixes from the PPA17:26
tanjeffOh dear, I'm quite a newbie at mythbuntu. I just updated my system using synaptic. Do I need additional repositories?17:27
tanjeffBTW, my version is 0.23.1+fixes26437-0ubuntu117:28
LachdananI'm running (or trying to run) a brand new installation (i've just reinstalled it for the 5th time) of Mythbuntu 10.10 with a Hauppauge 1300 tv tuner card.  And do I have some problems!  The most recent one is that when I try and click on WATCH TV to see if my channel setup actually worked this time, I get:  "Could not connect to the master backend server - is it running?"  The IP address under GENERAL in the Backend setup i17:34
tanjeffmrand: Found the mythbuntu-repos package. I didn't know about it before. Now upgrading to 0.24...17:36
mrandtanjeff: sorry - was away.  That's what you want - it's got numerous bug fixes17:37
mrandLachdanan: Is message was too long and was cut off after GENERAL.  Is your backend running?  Also check your /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log for any warnings/error/messages.17:38
mrandGotta run for now17:38
tanjeffThe thing I mostly fear are updates - I have a wife sitting in front of the box and expecting things to work ;-)17:38
LachdananFurther to that, when I try running "mythbackend" from terminal I get:  Failed to bind port 6543.  Exiting"17:38
tanjeffmrand:  thanx for the help17:39
Lachdananmrand:  i am a TOTAL linux novice and got mythbuntu after a friend recommended it - and I'm slowly wanting to tear my hair out - but now I am intrigued :(17:39
LachdananIf you'd be willing to assist, and you can give me a time when you'd be back I would really appreciate assistance17:40
mrandLachdanan: others people on the channel should be able to help over the course of the day.  you don't normally launch mythbackend by yourself... instead, it is launched as a background "service"  If you don't already have it, make sure you try out mythbuntu-control-centre17:41
Lachdananmrand, i know, i've killed it from terminal and tried starting it to see if it'd "go" - but it obviously doesnt17:42
Lachdanani do have the control centre and when i try the TEST button on the SQL tab, it tests OK17:42
tanjeffHm, updated to 0.24, now mythfrontend wants to update my database schema from 1032 to 1038. I didn't do it yet, and TV works now.17:44
tanjeffIs it a good Idea to update?17:44
mrandtanjeff: yes, that's normal.   Lachdanan: sudo service mythtv-backend start is how you launch it.17:45
mrandOk, off like a prom dress.17:45
* mrand away17:45
Lachdananlemme try17:46
Lachdanannope, same error when trying to WATCH TV17:47
LachdananI'm quickly going to put the mythbuntu pc online - will be back shortly17:47
LachdananIm back18:32
