| Shadow__X | al_nz1: you should never expect people to answer immediately | 06:44 |
| Shadow__X | people donate their time to help others | 06:44 |
| Shadow__X | al_nz1: so what is the issue | 06:44 |
| al_nz1 | HI Shadow__X | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | trying to install mythtv | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | have the backend and control center | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | but I dont think DB configuered correctly as I start mythtv backend config | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | pick language | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | then get no UPnp | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | and get prompted to setup database settings | 06:53 |
| al_nz1 | dont know much about my sql so not sure what to do to check setup and running correctly?? | 06:53 |
| al_nz1 | on ubuntu 10.10 | 06:53 |
| al_nz1 | Shadow__X ???? | 07:07 |
| Shadow__X | sorry was looking at another computer | 07:07 |
| Shadow__X | so you had ubuntu installed and then installed mythbackend? | 07:08 |
| al_nz1 | have both backend and mcc? | 07:09 |
| al_nz1 | but I dont think db setup properly | 07:09 |
| Shadow__X | ok well did you use synaptic to install mythtv? | 07:10 |
| al_nz1 | i have followed a lot of guides over the last few days | 07:11 |
| al_nz1 | but probably with apt-get install | 07:11 |
| al_nz1 | synaptic shows: | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | mythvido installed | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | mythweb | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | myth-theeme | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | mythgallery | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | libmyth-perl | 07:12 |
| al_nz1 | mythubuntu control center | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | mtyh default settings | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | myth gdm theme | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | mythubunut common | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | mythtv | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | mythtv-themes | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | myth front end | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | backend | 07:13 |
| al_nz1 | libmyth-python | 07:13 |
| Shadow__X | al_nz1: open up synaptic | 07:13 |
| Shadow__X | and search for mythtv | 07:14 |
| al_nz1 | those are just some of the installed options from synpatic (I have got it open with search on mythtv | 07:14 |
| Shadow__X | ok | 07:14 |
| Shadow__X | al_nz1: select the mythtv package, right click and select reinstal | 07:16 |
| Shadow__X | when you are installing something like mythtv sometimes its easier to use synaptic as it handles deps pretty well | 07:16 |
| al_nz1 | done - doing it now | 07:16 |
| al_nz1 | "An Error Occuered: The following details are provided: E:/var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.1_5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1_i386deb:subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" | 07:17 |
| Shadow__X | i would select mythtv and select for a complete removal then reload your sources | 07:18 |
| Shadow__X | then after that install it again | 07:18 |
| al_nz1 | ok....happening now | 07:19 |
| al_nz1 | same error during removal | 07:19 |
| al_nz1 | going to try a restart - trying to install mysql client resulted in same error too | 07:21 |
| al_nz1 | very odd | 07:21 |
| al_nz1 | great | 07:23 |
| al_nz1 | gdm wont fully start | 07:23 |
| al_nz1 | after logging in i just get a taskbar and clock | 07:23 |
| al_nz1 | black window | 07:23 |
| al_nz1 | <sigh> | 07:23 |
| Shadow__X | al_nz1: well you could remove the package from your cache | 07:27 |
| Shadow__X | but that wont fix your gdm | 07:27 |
| al_nz1 | reset x11.conf or something | 07:28 |
| MarkusBec | is there an howto to setup the backend on an server only with comandline? | 13:21 |
| sabhain | MarkusBec: sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop | 13:56 |
| sabhain | never mind .. thought you asked "stop" the backend. | 13:57 |
| MarkusBec | and the first setup of the backend | 13:57 |
| MarkusBec | I want to run the backend on my server but it have only ssh (no grafic card) | 14:06 |

| tgm4883 | al_nz1, http://mythbuntu.org/wiki/mythbackend-setup | 18:18 |
| Zinn | [mythbuntu.org] Mythbackend setup | Mythbuntu | 18:18 |
| al_nz1 | okies | 18:20 |
| al_nz1 | going through all those screens ok | 18:20 |
| al_nz1 | should i run fill my database? | 18:20 |
| al_nz1 | I really have nothing to put in there at the moment | 18:20 |
| al_nz1 | if it refers to adding media | 18:20 |
| al_nz1 | tgm4883: ok I go to exit that backend setup menu but get a error message: | 18:27 |
| al_nz1 | " Unable to create '/var/lib/mythtvrecordings/.test' directory is not writeable? Unable to create file '/var/lib/mythtv/videos//.test' and I have the buttons "Yes please" or "No I know what I am doing" | 18:28 |

| tgm4883 | al_nz1, mythfilldatabase involves getting channel data | 20:54 |
| tgm4883 | what are the permissions on /var/lib/mythtv/videos | 20:54 |
| Infection-- | Hi, I'd like to know about your PC's specs because I'd like to make my own media center | 20:57 |
| Infection-- | I already have full HD television and HDMI cable, speakers etc but not pc | 21:00 |
| Infection-- | I need only best compatiblity, and cheap price, also I want to watch TV while I record it | 21:04 |
| mrand | Infection--: almost anything even half-way modern (dual core processor with SATA) would do fine. I'm using a 3 year old 2.2 GHz core 2 duo. | 21:13 |
| Infection-- | How about tuner cards? | 21:14 |
| Infection-- | Which I can use to watch while recording? | 21:15 |
| Infection-- | !help | 21:20 |
| Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 21:20 |
| mrand | Infection--: what type of source(s) do you have? over the air? cable? | 21:24 |
| Infection-- | mrand: over the air, antenna | 21:26 |
| mrand | Infection--: if that's it, get an HDhomerun | 21:27 |
| mrand | Comes in either single or dual tuner models | 21:28 |
| Infection-- | If it is single tuner it means I can only watch the channel that is being record? | 21:29 |
| mrand | Infection--: yes, that is correct. | 21:29 |
| Infection-- | So I need dual tuner | 21:29 |
| mrand | A triple tuner is coming out, but it'll be more expensive than two dual tuners because it is cablecard ready. | 21:30 |
| Infection-- | Ahh, okay :P | 21:32 |
| Infection-- | mrand: What if I buy two single tuners? | 21:40 |
| mrand | Infection--: you could do that too, but that is more expensive than the standard dual-tuner box. | 21:46 |
| dewman | quick question when doing a channel scan for a hdhomerun, is there any reason to slow down the timeout? | 21:47 |
| mrand | dewman: I haven't tried to do varying comparisons... just assumed that the default values would cover everything fine | 21:48 |
| dewman | mrand, its odd that some channels are probable while others show timedout- 2 possible channels | 23:26 |
| === genec_ is now known as genec | ||
| mrand | When I go to bed tonight, I might push the timeout value up and scan again to see if it finds anything else. | 23:34 |
