| dewman | mrand, have you had any luck with getting any digital music channels? | 03:16 |
|---|---|---|
| dewman | with the hdhr scan? | 03:16 |
| dewman | freaking jamu... seems it has crashed 3 times in the past hour....Think its time to figure out how to remove it. | 03:18 |
| dewman | or disable it. | 03:18 |
| rhpot1991 | dewman: check silicon dust's website and it will tell you what channels you can get | 04:39 |
| rhpot1991 | those silly music channels are normally available | 04:39 |
| skiwithpete | ola | 09:42 |
| skiwithpete | I need help, anyone around? | 09:42 |
| skiwithpete | I've just installed myth - and through all the trouble shooting, discovered that mysql is not running | 09:44 |
| skiwithpete | Oh, yeah, I'm running XFCE | 09:45 |
| skiwithpete | ... | 09:47 |
| skiwithpete | dammit, living in NZ means there's never anyone here | 09:48 |
| * skiwithpete twiddles thumbs | 09:55 | |
| skiwithpete | hey | 10:04 |
| skiwithpete | ... I fixed the database problem by installing mysql-server | 10:46 |
| skiwithpete | but now i can't get mythweb to work :( | 10:46 |
| Lala_Chersi | hi there i ve installed myth tv in ubuntu cant set it right for my tv card ... any ideas | 11:26 |
| DaveMorris1 | which card have you got | 11:30 |
| DaveMorris1 | and how have you set it up? | 11:30 |
| Lala_Chersi | well i ve got msi tv@ny where plus .... internal tv card | 11:34 |
| DaveMorris1 | Lala_Chersi: sorry for the delay, meetings at work | 13:16 |
| DaveMorris1 | Have you got it to work in Ubuntu outside of MythTV to make sure you have the correct drivers etc? | 13:17 |
| DaveMorris1 | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/linux-mint-3-0-msi-tv%40nywhere-great-success-579640/ has someone doing it on mint (which is very similar to Ubuntu) | 13:17 |
| Lala_Chersi | DaveMorrisl : yeah it works on xawtv | 13:20 |
| mrand | dewman, I actually haven't played around with higher numbered channels yet. I've got some HDMI audio (and video, for that matter) problems I'm more focused on with the few spare minutes a week that I have. | 15:10 |
| qwebirc28476 | Hello, I have Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz old computer that I would like to use with Mythbuntu for my home setup with Comcast digital cable. I’m new to this and don’t know what kind of hardware I should additionally to buy to make it happen, and what the setup should be. Can you help with this? | 15:24 |
| rhpot1991 | qwebirc28476: HD or SD video? | 15:26 |
| Patrickdk | heh, that will only do SD | 15:27 |
| rhpot1991 | Patrickdk: unless he adds a VDPAU capable card | 15:27 |
| Patrickdk | I don't think he can, it should only be agp | 15:27 |
| rhpot1991 | pci | 15:28 |
| Patrickdk | they make them in pci? heh, how evil | 15:28 |
| rhpot1991 | harder to find, but they do exist | 15:29 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure anything in the current gen, but something that will do vdpau at least | 15:29 |
| Patrickdk | well, I picked the gt2xx series for it | 15:30 |
| Patrickdk | cause others have strange bugs | 15:30 |
| Patrickdk | and before the gt[345]xx came out | 15:30 |
| Patrickdk | then testing vdpau, I found I didn't really like using it at all | 15:31 |
| rhpot1991 | odd | 15:31 |
| rhpot1991 | its pretty easy to enable and use, I wouldn't build anything without it anymore | 15:31 |
| Patrickdk | it can't play back any video I throw at it, without going nuts every few min | 15:31 |
| rhpot1991 | define going nuts | 15:32 |
| Patrickdk | throwing crap all over the screen from decode errors | 15:32 |
| rhpot1991 | did you try some of the tweaks on the wiki page? | 15:32 |
| Patrickdk | using atsc sources, and good outputs from ffmpeg/x264 | 15:32 |
| rhpot1991 | !vdpau | 15:32 |
| Zinn | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU | 15:32 |
| Patrickdk | hmm, looks to be some new options | 15:33 |
| Patrickdk | this was 2 years ago, I think | 15:33 |
| Patrickdk | got a gt240 when it just came out pretty much | 15:33 |
| rhpot1991 | Artifacts | 15:34 |
| rhpot1991 | Adding "vdpaubuffersize=32" (or higher: eg. 42 works well for the Zotac HD-ID11 box) in the list of filters in Playback Settings may help with artifacts during playback. | 15:34 |
| rhpot1991 | then the xorg tweaks on there are good to make too | 15:34 |
| Patrickdk | ya, I don't see anything different in xorg settings | 15:34 |
| rhpot1991 | Option "TripleBuffer" "True" | 15:35 |
| rhpot1991 | Section "Extensions" | 15:35 |
| rhpot1991 | Option "Composite" "Disable" | 15:35 |
| rhpot1991 | EndSection | 15:35 |
| Patrickdk | have that | 15:35 |
| Patrickdk | guess I will have to test with the filters | 15:35 |
| rhpot1991 | Patrickdk: I think that 240 can do vdpau high, you might want to try vdpau normal if you having issues though | 15:36 |
| * Patrickdk notes a 1090T cpu plays back everything good though :) | 15:37 | |
| rhpot1991 | Patrickdk: ya you may not need it, but its a nice option to have | 15:37 |
| rhpot1991 | I offload everything to my 9600 so I can free up my athlon x2 for other stuff | 15:38 |
| rhpot1991 | then things like an ion you wouldn't want to cpu that :) | 15:38 |
| Patrickdk | well, I plan to use this for a frontend soon | 15:38 |
| Patrickdk | haven't got the cables yet though | 15:38 |
| Patrickdk | and decommission my c2d 2.8ghz frontend | 15:38 |
| Patrickdk | it can play pretty much everything except 1080p | 15:38 |
| Patrickdk | atleast not >10mbit | 15:39 |
| rhpot1991 | Patrickdk: vdpau can prob help you there | 15:46 |
| Patrickdk | yep | 15:47 |
| Patrickdk | but the purpose I got the 1090T for was to dump that system :) | 15:47 |
| Patrickdk | just need to get the hdmi wires ran from it to the tv, audio connected | 15:47 |
| Patrickdk | and then reconfigure this to run mythtv on a seperate x screen for it | 15:48 |
| Patrickdk | then figure out how to handle different keyboard inputs to different x screens | 15:48 |
| Wicked | hello all. Im running ubuntu 10.04 with mythtv with a pvr-150 and im using the pvr-150's blaster to change channels. Recently due to all the changes going on regarding the kernel/lirc module the blaster uses...its been a hude pita to get it working. But yesterday ubuntu updated lirc which totally broke it for me. I was able to downgrade lirc and reply the "zilog" patch and reconfigure lirc to work | 19:28 |
| Wicked | again. | 19:28 |
| Wicked | but now im worried this next update will break it again for good | 19:28 |
| Wicked | this is the directions ive been using to get the blaster working: http://notepad.bobkmertz.com/2010/06/pvr-150-ir-blaster-on-mythbuntu-1004.html | 19:30 |
| Zinn | [notepad.bobkmertz.com] Bob's Notepad: PVR-150 IR Blaster on MythBuntu 10.04 | 19:30 |
| rhpot1991 | Wicked: if you specify the lirc module as lirc_zilog it doesn't help? | 19:35 |
| Wicked | well. as of current...i need to do what i posted in that link. Last i checked lirc_zilog was not in the ubuntu kernel | 19:35 |
| Wicked | so i would need to get the lirc source and use a zilog patch...recompile...then load the module | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | I thought that it was | 19:36 |
| Wicked | im just worried that another change in the kernel/lirc will break it for good...leaving my myth setup useless if it cannot change channels | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | unless I'm thinking about something else that had a z in it | 19:36 |
| Wicked | well. when i set up this box a few months ago im 98% sure it was not. | 19:36 |
| Wicked | i had a hella time getting it working | 19:37 |
| Wicked | hmm | 19:38 |
| Patrickdk | 10.04 should use the old way to set it up | 19:49 |
| Patrickdk | 10.10 uses the new control system | 19:49 |
| Wicked | what exactly do you mean the "old way" | 19:51 |
| Patrickdk | the ir stuff hasn't changed for ever, except between 10.04 and 10.10 | 19:52 |
| Patrickdk | so 10.04 uses what almost all web documentation says | 19:52 |
| rhpot1991 | in 10.10 a lot of things started to go kernel module based instead of lirc | 19:53 |
| Wicked | hmm. i just know i had a really hard time figuring out how to setup my blaster. | 19:53 |
| Wicked | ive been using this pvr-150 for like ~3-4 years and the way i had always set it up didnt work with 10.04 | 19:54 |
| Wicked | something to do with changes in the kernel modules and stuff | 19:54 |
| Wicked | the module also changed to "lirc_zilog" | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | sorry they started to move to input layer modules, I shoulda been more clear | 19:55 |
| Wicked | im updating the machine now and gonna reboot to the new kernel and pray the new kernel has what i need lol | 19:56 |
| Wicked | it would be awesome to have it all back in the kernel by default...so i wont have to worry/much around on each kernel/lirc update | 19:57 |
| Patrickdk | heh? what kernel are you using? | 19:57 |
| Wicked | stock | 19:57 |
| Wicked | Linux Core 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 00:51:09 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 19:58 |
| Wicked | and just updated and about to reboot | 19:58 |
| Wicked | theres my other nick(Kernel)....need to reboot the box that runs myth and has my bouncer running. | 19:59 |
| Kernel | ..and crap. modinfo lirc_zilog | 20:02 |
| Kernel | ERROR: modinfo: could not find module lirc_zilog | 20:02 |
| Kernel | on the new kernel | 20:02 |
| Kernel | :| | 20:02 |
| Kernel | So.... any ideas on how i can get this working again? | 20:03 |
| rhpot1991 | john@ultramagnus:~$ modinfo lirc_zilog | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | filename: /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_zilog.ko | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | john@ultramagnus:~$ uname -a | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | Linux ultramagnus 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | its in 10.10 | 20:04 |
| Kernel | yea. but not 10.04. | 20:04 |
| rhpot1991 | might be worth checking to see if its been backported | 20:05 |
| Kernel | and getting it installed was a total pita | 20:05 |
| Kernel | 10.04 that is....i had alot of issues...and im not really looking to upgrade. | 20:05 |
| Kernel | hmm | 20:05 |
| Patrickdk | you can just upgrade the kernel in 10.04 | 20:05 |
| Wicked | back to my old nick | 20:05 |
| Wicked | Patrickdk, to a 10.10 kernel? | 20:06 |
| rhpot1991 | Patrickdk: shouldn't be kernel here, lirc I think | 20:06 |
| Wicked | id really prefer to keep things as stock at possible. i hate modifying things then having to manually track updates | 20:06 |
| rhpot1991 | no wrong, thats in the kernel | 20:07 |
| rhpot1991 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lirc_zilog.ko&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any | 20:07 |
| Zinn | [packages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu -- Package Contents Search Results -- lirc_zilog.ko | 20:07 |
| Patrickdk | ya, that is what ppa's are for :) | 20:07 |
| Wicked | hmm | 20:07 |
| Patrickdk | there is a *newer* kernel ppa for lucid | 20:07 |
| Patrickdk | I don't remember what it is, other than a guy needing it last week | 20:07 |
| Patrickdk | so I know it exists | 20:07 |
| Wicked | hmm. is it done buy the ubuntu team? or some 3rd party? | 20:08 |
| rhpot1991 | Wicked: what kernel are you on? | 20:09 |
| Wicked | Linux Core 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 20:10 |
| Wicked | on 10.04 | 20:10 |
| rhpot1991 | looks like its in a kernel in lucid-updates: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=lirc_zilog.ko&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid-updates&arch=any | 20:11 |
| Zinn | [packages.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu -- Package Contents Search Results -- lirc_zilog.ko | 20:11 |
| Wicked | hmm | 20:12 |
| Wicked | lucid-updates is like bleeding edge packages? | 20:12 |
| Wicked | i really dont want my system to be unstable. | 20:12 |
| Wicked | i chose 10.04 because its stable and is LTS | 20:12 |
| rhpot1991 | no, that should be on by default | 20:12 |
| Wicked | oh hmm | 20:13 |
| Patrickdk | man, you just want everything :) | 20:13 |
| Wicked | Patrickdk, i do! :) | 20:13 |
| rhpot1991 | you may need to dist-upgrade to pull the new kernel or something | 20:13 |
| Wicked | i do see it in a aptitude search | 20:13 |
| Patrickdk | you will | 20:13 |
| Wicked | so | 20:13 |
| Wicked | maybe i can just install the new kernel via apt? | 20:13 |
| Wicked | hopefully it wont break much | 20:13 |
| rhpot1991 | if you sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:13 |
| rhpot1991 | it should pull it | 20:13 |
| Wicked | linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic | 20:14 |
| rhpot1991 | along with ay other updates available | 20:14 |
| Wicked | hmm | 20:14 |
| Wicked | i thought dist-upgrade was for switching between releases | 20:14 |
| rhpot1991 | or just specify you want that specific kernel whatever way you are confortable with | 20:14 |
| rhpot1991 | no | 20:14 |
| Patrickdk | no | 20:14 |
| Wicked | apt-get dist-upgrade updates nothing | 20:14 |
| Wicked | so looks like ill need to manually specify the one i want | 20:14 |
| Patrickdk | it won't now | 20:15 |
| Patrickdk | it will when the kernel updates though | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | dist-upgrade is for installing packages with new depends or conflicting depends | 20:15 |
| Patrickdk | kernels only install on dist-upgrade | 20:15 |
| Patrickdk | other things do on upgrade | 20:15 |
| Wicked | hmm. | 20:15 |
| Wicked | i normally use aptitude | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | Wicked: if it didn't pull it you may need to specify that kernel then | 20:15 |
| Wicked | but aptitude upgrade just installed a new kenrel | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | Wicked: just do that in aptitude then | 20:15 |
| Wicked | ok. let me install the new kernel | 20:15 |
| Patrickdk | apt-get upgrade is equiv to aptitude safe-upgrade | 20:15 |
| rhpot1991 | Wicked: make sure it pulls any modules that match and so on | 20:16 |
| Patrickdk | and apt-get dist-upgrade is like aptitude .. | 20:16 |
| rhpot1991 | dpkg -l |grep linux-image | 20:16 |
| rhpot1991 | and make sure they match up with your current packages | 20:16 |
| Patrickdk | aptitude full-upgrade | 20:16 |
| Wicked | ah | 20:16 |
| Wicked | perfect rhpot1991 ..i was just trying to figure out what other packages i would need | 20:16 |
| Wicked | :) | 20:16 |
| Kernel | ugh | 20:26 |
| Kernel | ok so this new kernel has lirc_zilog | 20:26 |
| Kernel | ....but its not working | 20:26 |
| Kernel | the blaster is *not* changing channels | 20:26 |
| Kernel | nothing happens when i issue a change channel command | 20:27 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| Wicked | welp this certainly sucks | 20:39 |
| Wicked | sometimes i really hate linux :| | 20:45 |
