mikdeazyok aparently not in the bots repertoire - can anyone help me update my version of imdb-tools to 0.9-1 from 0.8 (mythbuntu10.10)02:03
mikdeazytried installing package from ubuntu site but it spewed file doesn't exist errors - and im not used to ubuntu02:04
rhpot1991mikdeazy: only in natty it looks like02:10
mikdeazyah so i have to wait for updates to catchup ?02:11
* mikdeazy assumes natty is codename for next release ?02:11
rhpot1991yep02:11
rhpot1991you could 1. build from source02:12
rhpot19912. find a ppa where someone already built02:12
rhpot19913. request a backport02:12
mikdeazyah ok thanks - lol yeah i usualy run fedora so would be trawling testing repos now02:12
rhpot1991why do you need the update?02:13
mikdeazynot used to ubuntu02:13
mikdeazyimdb-get doesn't return fresh results / valid replies02:13
mikdeazylike i did imdb-get -s "Let me in" 2 wrong very old results then no results after a while02:14
rhpot1991it was my understanding that all the mythtv grabbers stopped using imdb02:14
rhpot1991and use tmdb, etc instead now02:14
mikdeazyoh02:14
mikdeazylol02:14
* mikdeazy possibly may look sheepish in a bit02:14
mikdeazyhmm but tmdb cmd doesn;t work02:15
rhpot1991tmdb.py02:17
rhpot1991/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/tmdb.py02:17
agronHi all02:17
mikdeazyrhpot1991 : ls: cannot access /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Movie/: No such file or directory02:18
rhpot1991mikdeazy: try running locate tmdb.py02:18
rhpot1991mikdeazy: what version of mythtv are you running?02:19
agronIs firewire also used to feed video into the computer from the cable box or is it to just change channels?02:19
rhpot1991dpkg -l |grep mythtv-backend02:19
rhpot1991agron: both depending on how much your cable company has it locked down02:19
mikdeazyrhpot1991, ok for some reason it has an extra folder /scripts/ in its path - thanks a million not sure i came across locate before strangly good tip too ty ;-)02:20
rhpot1991mikdeazy: perhaps if that path is off then that could lead to issues if your backend doesn't know where the script is02:21
mikdeazyrhpot1991, good point - i will check the settings02:21
rhpot1991mikdeazy: are you running autobuilds?02:22
mikdeazyrhpot1991, sorry not sure - its mythbuntu 10.10 installed from live cd02:22
rhpot1991wait we call it MythTV-Updates repository anymore02:22
rhpot1991http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos02:22
Zinn[www.mythbuntu.org] Mythbuntu Repositories | Mythbuntu02:22
rhpot1991I'd recommend enabling that then upgrading02:22
mikdeazydamn sounds promising - ok will do many thanks again02:23
Zinnmikdeazy: Please watch your language.02:23
* mikdeazy apologises to room02:23
rhpot1991just there as a warning, don't worry about it02:25
mikdeazyhehe - was just incase ;-)02:26
agronrhpot1991: Do you know if FIOS+QIP7100+Firewire does both (video+channel switching)?02:34
rhpot1991agron: not sure, in theory it should work for your locals02:42
rhpot1991and maybe others02:42
rhpot1991its normally based on area and what your local cable co does02:42
agronI am not getting anything, when I click WATCH TV it says PLEASE WAIT...  and then it goes back to the menu again. Don;t know where to start looking02:46

ZinnHi agron, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.03:40
Zinn[mythbuntu.pastebin.com] === MythtV Frontend Log === Starting mythfrontend.03:40
agronI guess this  is my problem with firewire:03:50
agronrom1394_1 warning: read failed: 0x0000fffff000040c03:51
agronWhat does it mean?03:51
rhpot1991agron: did you verify that the firewire ports are enabled and that the channel isn't protected?03:54
agronno, but I saw port 0 had garbage and port 1 was OK, but protected, I dont know how to checj for that03:56
agronrhpot1991: how do you check if port is protected?03:59
rhpot1991check google, I have no idea with your hardware04:00
rhpot1991you coudl try asking in #mythtv-users as well, more likely to find someone with that same hardware than in here04:00
agronOK04:03
mikdeazyrhpot1991, ok i think i messed up - installed mythbunu repo and updated - it would only do partial ?? (no idea) not front end keeps saying cant find backend lol04:40
mikdeazynow* front end says,..04:40
mikdeazyrhpot1991, fresh install ith repos enabled earlier ?04:41
mrandmikdeazy: what method/program/utility are you using?05:19
mikdeazymrand, its ok i already reinstalled from liveCD and now added repos and used synaptic to grap anything mythtvish - should work ;-)05:32
rhpot1991mikdeazy: you normally want to do a full install, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from the command line will do it for you05:50
rhpot1991most likely a package name changed and it had to pull the new one05:50
mikdeazyi think it might be diff mysql pwd - but will do the dit-upgrade in a sec after sinaptic has finished pulling all the normal ubunu updates - thanks guys06:08
rhpot1991!mysql06:09
ZinnIf you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common06:09
rhpot1991should help you there06:09
mikdeazyahhh cool thanks - yeah not used to sudoing either ;-)06:10

ComradeHaz`y[21:49:18] <@Zinn> If you are having problems connecting to your mysql database, you can perform the following to reconfigure it: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 (pay attention to the root password you set, you will need it for the next step) 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database 3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common <---- I reckon these instructions are flawed.22:07
ZinnHi ComradeHaz`, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.22:07
ComradeHaz`First of all, I have server 5.1, not 5.0. Second, I'm setting root password in step 1, I am not asked for any password in step 2 despite "you will need it for the next step" and third in step 3 I am asked for user mythTV's password, not root's.22:09
ComradeHaz`Is anyone able to assist me more usefully?22:09
mikdeazyComradeHaz`, - use the logpuller to splash logs onto pastebin and paste the links for front and backend here22:10
ComradeHaz`Huh?!22:10
ComradeHaz`:D22:10
mikdeazyif you goto control panel on the mythtv system22:11
mikdeazythere is a log puller or its in the accessorsies menu22:12
mikdeazyLog Grabber22:12
ComradeHaz`Yayy. "Exception in captureState of plugin Mirobridgeconfig. Disabling Plugin."22:12
ComradeHaz`When opening controll centre22:12
ComradeHaz`seems to open when I click OK though :D22:12
mikdeazyit will put the log files onto pastebin - copy and paste the link to here22:13
ComradeHaz`!praise buggy fresh installs22:13
ZinnSorry I don't know about praise buggy fresh installs22:13
ComradeHaz`lol22:13

ComradeHaz`Heh,m that's cool22:15
mikdeazywoah u got all sorts orf errors that i know diddly about - im sure if u wait here someone can help u though22:20
ComradeHaz`Aye22:21
ComradeHaz`Thanks anyway :)22:21
mikdeazynp ;-)22:28
mikdeazythink i might try reinstalling fc14 and that gives me OS im used to and latest mythtv22:29
ComradeHaz`Well, I usually use Debina22:30
ComradeHaz`but the myth tv packages for that are a disgrace22:30
mikdeazyah so ubuntu is closer to that yeah?22:30
mikdeazylol ah ok22:30
ComradeHaz`yeah22:30
mikdeazyyeah fc is bloated but it does usualy have up to date packages22:30
tgm4883ComradeHaz`, this log is from your backend?22:48
tgm4883is your mysql server running?22:48
ComradeHaz`it's both front and back end22:48
ComradeHaz`It's a clean install22:48
tgm4883what does this say22:49
tgm4883service mysql status22:49
ComradeHaz`mysql start/running, process 205722:49
ComradeHaz`Though I have done what the bot said I should22:50
ComradeHaz`So that would have started it if it didn't come up on boot22:50
tgm4883can you log into mysql from the command line?22:50
ComradeHaz`I expect so22:53
ComradeHaz`If I can remember how :D22:53
tgm4883mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg22:53
tgm4883then the password from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt22:53
ComradeHaz`Yup, logged in22:55
ComradeHaz`OK, so reconfigured common and set that password22:58
ComradeHaz`Might be worth rebooting to see what happens22:58
tgm4883yea and verify if any of the three steps errored out22:59
ComradeHaz`gah23:03
ComradeHaz`asks me for prefered language on that greeny background23:03
ComradeHaz`tells me no upnp23:03
ComradeHaz`moans about database config23:03
ComradeHaz`I can still login via cl just fine23:11
ComradeHaz`Database Configurations says it cannot even ping the db host23:12
ComradeHaz`hostname 'localhost'23:13
ComradeHaz`Hmm, odd: "Cannot find (ping) database host on "23:16
ComradeHaz`note "..host<space><space>on<space>"23:16
ComradeHaz`I imagine thins could be something to do with networking23:17
ComradeHaz`My networking config is possibly not totally standard.23:17
ComradeHaz`Well, quite a bit about the install isn't, but that's teh only thing that should could different to anything once the machine is running23:18
ComradeHaz`um, I meant should appear different to anything...23:33
hipitihopI'm currently running 0.23.1 on 9.10 base using autobuild repo, can I and how do I upgrade to 0.24 ?23:34
