| qwebirc8571 | hi all | 04:58 |
|---|---|---|
| qwebirc8571 | quick question | 04:58 |
| qwebirc8571 | can I install mythbuntu and then replace xfce with fluxbox, and if so which packages need removing? | 04:59 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc8571, yea you should be able to do that, but I couldn't tell you what to remove | 05:00 |
| tgm4883 | is there a fluxbuntu? | 05:00 |
| qwebirc8571 | yeah but it's old | 05:00 |
| tgm4883 | if so, you could install that, then install MCC, then configure mythtv from there | 05:00 |
| tgm4883 | qwebirc8571, then grab the alternate CD and install cmd line only, then install fluxbox | 05:01 |
| qwebirc8571 | ok | 05:01 |
| tgm4883 | then MCC, etc | 05:01 |
| qwebirc8571 | what other packages besides MCC/FB/myth | 05:01 |
| qwebirc8571 | are necessary | 05:01 |
| qwebirc8571 | i tried it and had a helluva time | 05:02 |
| qwebirc8571 | are any gnome pkgs necessary for say editing users/grps etc? | 05:03 |
| tgm4883 | no, i would add mcc, then configure from there. It should prompt to install whatever it needs from there | 05:05 |
| qwebirc8571 | so mcc, myth and FB? | 05:05 |
| qwebirc8571 | and xdm | 05:05 |
| qwebirc8571 | ofc | 05:06 |
| qwebirc8571 | is that it then? just MCC XDM FB and myth/mcc? | 05:06 |
| qwebirc8571 | what's the apt for mcc? mythbuntu-control center | 05:08 |
| qwebirc8571 | wjat about all the recommended packages do i need those | 06:45 |
| qwebirc8571 | ? | 06:45 |
| qwebirc8571 | what* | 06:45 |
| qwebirc8571 | i assume that myth and mcc are to be installed seperately | 06:58 |
| qwebirc8571 | IE installing MCC wont install mythtv | 06:59 |
| qwebirc8571 | ? | 06:59 |

| stanman246 | hi you guys | 12:14 |
| stanman246 | i'd like to create a livecd/usb to boot from and then run the frontend only, is that possible? | 12:14 |
| stanman246 | hi, which version of mythtv is on the livecd of mythbuntu?? | 14:59 |
| mrand | stanman246: 0.23.1 is on the 10.10 CD | 15:00 |
| stanman246 | darn... | 15:01 |
| mrand | 0.24 is available via the online PPA, and will be included in 11.04 | 15:01 |
| stanman246 | i've got 0.24 running as backend | 15:01 |
| stanman246 | so i can't use the livecd to connect and see if the machine likes it or not... | 15:01 |
| mrand | You could try a 11.04 disk. Hmmm, I say that... I wonder if they've been created. | 15:01 |
| stanman246 | think not... | 15:02 |
| stanman246 | do you perhaps know of a distro livecd which holds 0.24? | 15:02 |
| mrand | stanman246: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/daily-live/20110123/ | 15:04 |
| Zinn | [cdimage.ubuntu.com] Mythbuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) Daily Build | 15:04 |
| stanman246 | wow | 15:05 |
| stanman246 | does it have 0.24 on it? | 15:05 |
| superm1 | stanman246, yeah it does | 17:38 |
| stanman246 | 2 bad | 17:39 |
| stanman246 | needed a livecd with a 0.24 frontend | 17:39 |
| BLZbubba | is it possible to run mythbuntu from the install disc to see how well it works? i have a backend already working, i just want to test hdmi out before I do a full install | 17:50 |
| BLZbubba | it looks like debian squeeze/sid can't do hdmi out even with the right driver loaded, unfortunately | 17:50 |
| tgm4883 | BLZbubba, you could, although i'm not sure the right drivers would load | 17:50 |
| BLZbubba | that makes sense. is there an hdmi audio troubleshooting guide anywhere? it shows the right things in aplay, but no sound comes out. it was working perfectly until i did a reinstall | 17:55 |
| BLZbubba | my biggest nightmare would be if i reload and it still fails | 17:55 |
| BLZbubba | is there an easy way to get the apt sources I need to turn a vanilla ubuntu 10.10 server into a mythbuntu backend? | 18:10 |
| tgm4883 | BLZbubba, considering it's all in the Ubuntu repos, yea | 18:11 |
| tgm4883 | since it's already there | 18:11 |
| BLZbubba | oh ok, that is excellent | 18:12 |
| BLZbubba | but too easy. is there a way to make it more difficult? | 18:13 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | BLZbubba, I suppose you could remove sources.list then manually download each package and dependency and install it that way? | 18:18 |
| BLZbubba | now you're making me nostalgic for the 90's | 18:19 |
| BLZbubba | does 10.10 use 0.23 or 0.24? | 18:20 |
| tgm4883 | BLZbubba, 0.23.1 by default. 0.24 is available via the mythbuntu-repos package | 18:21 |
| tgm4883 | !updates | 18:21 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu team provides updates for MythTV and Mythbuntu package using the Mythbuntu Repos http://mythbuntu.org/repos | 18:21 |
| BLZbubba | ok cool thanks. one final question - is it possible to get the mythtv backend without having to load X things? | 18:24 |
| BLZbubba | this is a disaster, i'm getting gtk, qt, mysql-server. heh why bother loading ubuntu server in the first place :) | 18:28 |
| tgm4883 | BLZbubba, no | 18:28 |
| tgm4883 | backend requires X to setup | 18:29 |
| tgm4883 | IIRC, 0.25 or 0.26 is moving to web based setup so that shouldn't be necessary | 18:29 |
| BLZbubba | it doesn't require X, it's just extremely helpful. | 18:30 |
| BLZbubba | the front end needs mythtv-setup too but it doesn't get it automatically | 18:30 |
| BLZbubba | but luckily this complaint will be obsolete soon :) | 18:31 |
| Chris64 | hi all | 18:35 |
| Chris64 | does nano work at mythbuntu 10.10? | 18:36 |
| Chris64 | it returns Error opening terminal: unknown | 18:36 |
| Chris64 | need to edit a file. vim is also not available. It's a bit confusing | 18:36 |
| BLZbubba | it should work fine, but maybe a package is missing. check google | 18:37 |
| BLZbubba | and sudo apt-get install vim | 18:37 |
| tsimpson | what terminal are you trying to run nano from? | 18:37 |
| BLZbubba | typical debian/ubuntu annoyance | 18:37 |
| Chris64 | it's the terminal from the main applications menu | 18:37 |
| Chris64 | @tsimpson | 18:38 |
| Chris64 | BLZbubba: ok | 18:38 |
| tsimpson | Chris64: what is the output of "echo $TERM"? | 18:42 |
| Chris64 | dumb | 18:43 |
| tsimpson | does it work if you try running it from xterm or with "TERM=xterm nano" (the 2nd may not work depending on how advanced the terminal is) | 18:44 |
| Chris64 | second one works :) | 18:45 |
| Chris64 | thank you | 18:45 |
| BLZbubba | ok is /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt no longer needed? it looks like it's duplicated in config.xml | 18:45 |
| BLZbubba | hmm there is no startup file for mythtv backend in /etc/rc2.d | 18:53 |
| BLZbubba | oh no, not a @$^ upstart file. lame | 18:54 |
| Chris64 | is this warning on http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers about a bug in ubuntu still true which will let the compiling of DVB drivers to fail? | 18:58 |
| Zinn | [linuxtv.org] How to Obtain, Build and Install V4L-DVB Device Drivers - LinuxTVWiki | 18:58 |
| Chris64 | okay, compile failed oo" | 18:59 |
| BLZbubba | ok how do i tell upstart to launch mythtv-backend when the system boots up? | 19:09 |
| BLZbubba | ah there is something in init.d, thank god | 19:10 |
| BLZbubba | oh lame, it doesn't work if you link it to /etc/rc2.d | 19:11 |
| BLZbubba | another question, how well does mythbuntu 10.10 deal with an NFS problem? e.g. see what happens if you add this to /etc/fstab: 1.2.3.4:/foo /mnt nfs defaults 0 0 | 19:54 |
| BLZbubba | 10.04 would freeze at the purple splash screen forever with no messages at all | 19:54 |
| BLZbubba | #%&@$% ok what does it take to get HDMI audio working with a GT 210? i unmuted the device and disabled the motherboard audio in the bios | 21:33 |
| rhpot1991 | BLZbubba: pick it in the audio setup page? | 21:45 |
| genec | BLZbubba: check all your volumes. I know using Kubuntu on this laptop, headphones volume is funny | 21:59 |
| mrand | BLZbubba: I had a rough time too. First step is to get it working outside of Myth by using aplay or speaker-test. You'll go completely insane otherwise. if aplay -L doesn't list your sound device, try updating your drivers via this PPA: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules | 22:40 |
