| stanman246 | hi, again a new mythbuntu install...... New try on a different machine. Im installing from the mythbuntu livecd, but want to upgrade to 0.24 immediately, how should i do that? | 15:30 |
| mrand1 | !auto-builds | 15:33 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about auto-builds | 15:33 |
| mrand1 | !autobuilds | 15:33 |
| Zinn | Auto builds contain more recent bug fixes than the normal Ubuntu repository contains. See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info. | 15:33 |
| mrand1 | stanman246: ^ | 15:33 |
| stanman246 | mrand1 | 15:36 |
| stanman246 | mrand1, O_o ... had everything running at last, then had a power failure which blew up my other pc...... | 15:37 |
| mrand | gotta hate that | 15:37 |
| stanman246 | kinda | 15:38 |
| stanman246 | but now i've got me a celeron D 2,66 with 2gb's and a 250g sata ;-) | 15:38 |
| stanman246 | some stupid workguy here decided he's drill a hole in an electric wire.... | 15:39 |
| stanman246 | *he'd | 15:39 |
| stanman246 | think i'll get me a upc... | 15:39 |
| stanman246 | *ups | 15:39 |
| stanman246 | righto, so it's booted into mythbuntu. 1st thing is running the backend setup right? | 15:45 |
| stanman246 | or first apt-get update / upgrade? | 15:46 |
| mrand | stanman246: no reason not to update/upgrade first | 15:50 |
| stanman246 | ok. | 15:53 |
| stanman246 | how do i upgrade to 0.24.1? | 15:54 |
| mrand | there is no 0.24.1 (yet). Just 0.24.0=fixes | 15:55 |
| stanman246 | oh, i thought i had 0.24.1 running... | 15:55 |
| stanman246 | ah well... what's the best way to get to 0.24+fixes then? | 15:56 |
| mrand | !autobuilds | stanman246 | 15:56 |
| Zinn | stanman246: Auto builds contain more recent bug fixes than the normal Ubuntu repository contains. See http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds for more info. | 15:56 |
| stanman246 | and: if i'd run ubuntu-desktop would that slow down the machine? | 15:56 |
| mrand | A celeron D is not the most powerful CPU... so perhaps. | 15:57 |
| stanman246 | iaght, so xfce would be more wise | 15:58 |
| stanman246 | i just need to do some desktop things on that machine, for the rest it will be serving other mythbuntu frontends, so the celeron D would be enough i think? | 15:58 |
| mrand | stanman246: well, you already have it, so might as well give it a try. I have a lower-end core2 duo that does that same functionality without any trouble at all. a single core would probably be maxed out though. | 16:04 |
| mrand | Not to mention that generation runs quite hot (meaning more electricity, as well as a bigger heatsink and possibly louder fan[s]) | 16:06 |
| stanman246 | we'll see what happens. For now i'm updating/upgrading ubuntu | 16:11 |
| stanman246 | then i'm planning to install 0.24 with the autobuilds | 16:12 |
| mrand | are you planning to do high def video? | 16:13 |
| stanman246 | no not yet | 16:14 |
| stanman246 | i've got an analogue tv card (cinergy 400) with which i want to test | 16:14 |
| stanman246 | and i'll be serving media to frontends, no hd capturing yet | 16:15 |
| stanman246 | would be nice though, but i need additional hardware for that | 16:15 |
| mrand | ohhhhh, just a backend only? You have a good chance that this will be powerful enough then. | 16:15 |
| stanman246 | yeah, i thought so. First getting this box working (incl. frontend, so i know it all works) then the frontend machines all around the house | 16:16 |
| mrand | !zotac | 16:16 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about zotac | 16:16 |
| stanman246 | if i'd kick in some hd hardware to save the digital streams of my provider, do i need much expensive additional gear? | 16:17 |
| mrand | capturing HD isn't the hard part... it's really just saving it to the drive (unless you want to transcode it to save space or change formats). | 16:18 |
| stanman246 | but to save it, there doesn't have to be any encoding right? | 16:18 |
| stanman246 | so a 'light' machine could do just that? (i thought / hoped) | 16:19 |
| mrand | correct. capture devices all do the encoding (if necessary. QAM and ATSC are both already encoded, so those types of capture devices have even less work to do). | 16:20 |
| stanman246 | ah well i'll handle that when it comes to that. First i need to get it working with my 0.24+ frontend again. | 16:23 |
| stanman246 | For now i must leave it in this stage, need to go now... | 16:23 |
| stanman246 | thanks 4 all the info mrand and maybe 'till later | 16:24 |
| mrand | you're welcome. have fun! | 16:24 |
| qwebirc51846 | hi everyone | 19:13 |
| qwebirc51846 | I'm a newcomer and am trying to run from the live cd. It starts without problem but then looks for a backend for some reason. I'm not running a backend and therefore canot start the frontend. Can anyone help? | 19:14 |
| qwebirc51846 | I've also tried installing it within windows and although it does appear in the boot manager if I select it it fails to locad with some errors which I don't understand | 19:16 |
| qwebirc51846 | !help | 19:17 |
| Zinn | !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. | 19:17 |
| gregL | qwebirc51846, The live cd only works for the frontend..You must have a backend to connect... | 19:17 |
| qwebirc51846 | oh | 19:18 |
| qwebirc51846 | I don't get any frontend as I've said and I've also tried to install with problems | 19:19 |
| qwebirc51846 | after installing it within windows, I do get the choice of either windows or myth | 19:20 |
| gregL | well I never have tried to install it on a windows machine,so I would be no help there.. | 19:20 |
| qwebirc51846 | but selecting myth gives errors | 19:20 |
| qwebirc51846 | ok tks | 19:20 |
| gregL | Do you have capture cards? | 19:20 |
| qwebirc51846 | yes | 19:20 |
| qwebirc51846 | I'm running W7 MCE | 19:21 |
| qwebirc51846 | which is gr8 | 19:21 |
| qwebirc51846 | but wanted to try myth | 19:21 |
| gregL | What cards | 19:21 |
| gregL | ?? | 19:21 |
| qwebirc51846 | Hauppage | 19:21 |
| qwebirc51846 | PVR 500 | 19:21 |
| gregL | should work.. | 19:21 |
| gregL | Did you go the=roug the set up | 19:22 |
| gregL | through | 19:22 |
| qwebirc51846 | lol | 19:22 |
| qwebirc51846 | cannot get that far | 19:22 |
| gregL | fat fingers | 19:22 |
| qwebirc51846 | all i get is a desktop | 19:22 |
| qwebirc51846 | which asks to connect to a backend | 19:22 |
| qwebirc51846 | the installed version fails to start as described above | 19:22 |
| gregL | Have you used linux before? | 19:23 |
| qwebirc51846 | very little | 19:23 |
| gregL | My suggestion would be to bring up a terminal window and type in mythtv-setup and see what happens... | 19:23 |
| gregL | got to run good luck,,, | 19:24 |
| qwebirc51846 | cheers | 19:24 |
| qwebirc51846 | don't like the fact that despite installing myth and seeing it in the boot menu it gives an error when loading | 19:24 |
| pcluser | Hello, is there a way to get myth to use my swap file? I re- partitioned, and it no longer uses swap becauser it is now sda5 instead of sda6 | 23:36 |
| rhpot1991 | pcluser: fix the uuid in your /etc/fstab | 23:46 |
| pcluser | rhpot1991, can i get it to use it without rebooting? also, I am weak on how to correct the uuid stuff, will look now.. thanks | 23:50 |
| rhpot1991 | pcluser: edit it and you should just need to replace the old uuid with the new one | 23:59 |
