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