[12:11] posted this q also on #mythtv: is it possible to create a boot usb which boots into the frontend and connects to the master backend? If so: anyone knows a wiki how to do this? [15:07] hmm, there is a mythtv live cd [15:07] just put it on a usb stuck [15:07] done [15:40] afternoon all [15:45] !help install [15:45] !help install For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [15:56] Can anyone help. I have just downloaded the mythbuntu 10.10 64bit. I have booted it, I see the mythbuntu with the scrolling white/orange dots then the screen goes into a load of grey lines and freezes. I think its a resolution issue but no idea how to change it.

[16:02] also, with regards to locking, try hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to VT1. It's probably not locked. Also try cycling NumLock/CapsLock and watch all 3 lock lights [16:04] Its not loocked up. I just canot get it to display the install screen. [16:06] what's really bad is if you see numlock off and capslock/scrolllock blinking together. [16:13] I dont have and lock lights on my machine. The system is functioning as when I press ctrl, sysrq + K it reboots the X server. Screen goes blank and then revertf to millions of grey lines over the screen. [16:13] Well more like grey and black lines [16:14] I've seen that kind of a screen before but normally not for long and mostly on older hardware. [16:24] Um weird. I got it permanently. [16:25] Ok time to try a newly downloaded 32bit version see if that makes a difference. [16:27] Nope. no difference at all [17:40] for some reason not all buttons are registering in mythtv, like the back/exit and guide buttons. they are set up in my  lircd.conf file and in my lirc/mythtv file === peterpops_ is now known as peterpops === rhpot199` is now known as rhpot1991
