[12:11] <stanman246> 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] <Patrickdk> hmm, there is a mythtv live cd
[15:07] <Patrickdk> just put it on a usb stuck
[15:07] <Patrickdk> done
[15:40] <fibres> afternoon all
[15:45] <fibres> !help install
[15:45] <Zinn> !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] <fibres> 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.
[15:56] <fibres> !help resolution

[16:01] <genec> fibres: I think there's a kernel command line option to help but not sure what.  it'll be applicable to all Ubuntu variants.
[16:02] <genec> 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] <fibres> Its not loocked up. I just canot get it to display the install screen.
[16:06] <genec> what's really bad is if you see numlock off and capslock/scrolllock blinking together.
[16:13] <fibres> 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] <fibres> Well more like grey and black lines
[16:14] <genec> I've seen that kind of a screen before but normally not for long and mostly on older hardware.
[16:24] <fibres> Um weird. I got it permanently.
[16:25] <fibres> Ok time to try a newly downloaded 32bit version see if that makes a difference.
[16:27] <fibres> Nope. no difference at all
[17:40] <m4xx|home> 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
