| mycosys | can anyone tell me how to remove the recordings from the database, and how to put em back? | 00:11 |

| mrand | mycosys: http://www.mythbuntu.org/upgrading points the way. | 00:17 |
| Zinn | [www.mythbuntu.org] Upgrading | Mythbuntu | 00:17 |
| mycosys | does it point the way to cloning to a second (near identical) machine without the recordings to do it? | 00:18 |
| mrand | between that page, and the the mythtv wiki page that it references, I think so. | 00:19 |
| mrand | If not, the pages need to be improved. | 00:19 |
| shadow__X | now i have mythbuntu 10.10 installed but now when trying to use componenet output its overtly blue but the colors are right in bios | 00:35 |
| mycosys | what video driver are you using? | 00:53 |
| shadow__X | nvidia | 00:56 |
| shadow__X | 260 | 00:56 |
| mycosys | should be able to run nvidia-settings and adjust that easily | 00:59 |
| mycosys | guys - might it be a good idea to put somewhere on the mythbuntu site a recommendation to opt for lts releases? | 01:00 |
| tgm4883 | mycosys, why? | 01:00 |
| mycosys | the same reason even the devs recommend treating myth as an appliance | 01:00 |
| mycosys | for most people it should be set up and leave it | 01:01 |
| tgm4883 | I don't say treat it as an appliance | 01:01 |
| tgm4883 | In fact, I say just the opposite | 01:01 |
| tgm4883 | recommending LTS != appliance | 01:01 |
| tgm4883 | I recommend LTS for desktop usage as well | 01:01 |
| mycosys | lts means that if you do need to change something 1yr or more down the track there will be updates and support | 01:02 |
| mycosys | ie in my case add a torrentn client | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | which would contridict an appliance | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | which is don't touch it after install | 01:03 |
| mycosys | lot of people do firmware updates on electronic appliances after that sort of time | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | mycosys, um, no they don't | 01:04 |
| mycosys | k | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | some people maybe | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | but they are in the minority | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | technical people might, but most others won't | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | mycosys, in any case, if you can convince a dev to update the site to say LTS recommended, go for it | 01:06 |
| shadow__X | tgm4883: any experience getting component out from a nvidia card? its a geforce 6150 and the tv is a sony kp-51w510 which has a dvi port but can not for the life of me get working | 01:53 |
| mycosys | shadow__X still here ? any success with component out? | 06:04 |
| shadow__X | yeah i tried windows 7 and was having the issue still | 06:06 |
| shadow__X | low and behold the connection was loose :( | 06:06 |
| dabblego | hi there, is there a list of packages that mythbuntu comes with on top of ubuntu? | 11:36 |
| qwebirc17750 | hi everybody | 12:31 |
| qwebirc17750 | i am working on a mythbuntu pc, can anybody recommend a technisat sat card working with mythbuntu 10.10 ? | 12:33 |
| tgm4883 | dabblego, not really, you could look at the dependencies of mythbuntu-desktop | 15:00 |
| tgm4883 | dabblego, are you trying to convert your desktop into a mythbuntu system? | 15:00 |
| adub__ | i dont want mythbuntu to start the frontend immediately each time the computer boots up how do i stop this | 15:05 |
| adub__ | also i dont know if anyone has had this problem my wireless network icon in the top right has seemingly disappeared | 15:05 |
| qwebirc37397 | hey | 17:32 |
| qwebirc37397 | Mythbuntu 10.10 Only in intel format at the moment? | 17:33 |
| adub__ | no you can get amd64 i did | 17:33 |
| adub__ | what is the easiest way with mythbuntu xfce interface to get icons on the desktop i am trying to drag from menu but that simply isnt working | 17:37 |
| adub__ | do i have to create from scratch?? | 17:37 |
| qwebirc1208 | hello, i need some help about hardware compatibility, i want to set up a mythbuntu media pc and would like to know which hd tv sat card i can use preferable technisat. | 18:15 |
| rhpot1991 | qwebirc1208: you are better asking about that on the mythtv mailing list | 18:15 |
| rhpot1991 | !mailing% | 18:16 |
| Zinn | The MythTV Users mailing list is located at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ | 18:16 |
| rhpot1991 | its hard to get specific hardware support in here unless it is a very common card | 18:16 |
| qwebirc1208 | i thought maybe somebody has some experience cuz of using and setting up | 18:17 |
| rhpot1991 | qwebirc1208: where are you located? | 18:18 |
| qwebirc1208 | Leipzig germany | 18:18 |
| rhpot1991 | I'd try the mailing list or forums | 18:19 |
| rhpot1991 | !forums | 18:19 |
| Zinn | The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301. If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help. | 18:19 |
| qwebirc1208 | been searching already for quite some time most answers and hints are about mythbuntu 9.10 i would like to use 10.10 and i read there have been kernel changes | 18:21 |
| qwebirc1208 | i will go for the forums then again thank you ;-) | 18:23 |
| rhpot1991 | qwebirc1208: try posting a new topic asking for a card recomendation | 18:24 |
| rhpot1991 | unfortunately most of us in here are US based so we don't know about your cards over there | 18:24 |
| qwebirc1208 | most of them seem alike like technisat skymaster card for example | 18:25 |
| rhpot1991 | here in the US for satelite you would use a hd-pvr and captuer the component output | 18:27 |
| qwebirc1208 | ok, well thanks for your help. i will search my way through then | 18:29 |

| jbehmer1 | does anyone know why i would not be able to do a channel scan while in the mythtv-setup interface?? i have a hauppauge bt878 capture card with input coming to the TV coax port, and xawtv verifies that i can view NTSC channels | 23:02 |
| jbehmer1 | i am also getting a strange error: "connection DBManager0 is still in use, all queries will cease to work." when i exit out of mythtv-setup. not sure if this is related | 23:03 |
| gregL | jbehmer1, what are you using for a source for epg data? | 23:04 |
| jbehmer1 | gregL, what is epg data? im quite new to this actually | 23:04 |
| rhpot1991 | listings | 23:04 |
| gregL | what he said | 23:05 |
| jbehmer1 | that would be in video sources correct? i havent been able to set that up, because when i add one it doesnt show up in the list | 23:06 |
| gregL | Yes, we use schedule direct to get the epg data.. | 23:07 |
| gregL | It's $20 a year..Pretty cheap.. | 23:08 |
| rhpot1991 | there is a few week trial still I think too | 23:09 |
| rhpot1991 | so you can try it out first | 23:09 |
| jbehmer1 | ah, i see. is there any free alternative i can use. im just trying this out on my desktop to decide if i should buy a new HTPC | 23:09 |
| jbehmer1 | oh i see | 23:09 |
| gregL | They have a trila period.. | 23:09 |
| gregL | trial even | 23:09 |
| rhpot1991 | that said, you should be able to scan without it, but its much easier to just pull your listing data from there | 23:09 |
| rhpot1991 | s/listing/channel/ | 23:10 |
| jbehmer1 | okay, let me set one up and ill see if that works | 23:10 |
| gregL | jbehmer1, When you do,don't scan..Use fetch from source.. | 23:11 |
| jbehmer1 | okay, will do | 23:12 |
| gregL | jbehmer1, I see you are in the nycap area..I am also.. | 23:13 |
| jbehmer1 | oh cool, yep I go to school up here | 23:14 |
| gregL | No I live here.. | 23:14 |
| gregL | Saratoga | 23:14 |
| mycosys | jbehmer - just a note - dont judge performance based on using that card - it will need MANY times the cpu power of a cheap digital tuner to use | 23:14 |
| mycosys | *jbehmer1 | 23:15 |
| jbehmer1 | haha, I found it in an old computer somebody was getting rid of so I don't have very high expectations :-p | 23:15 |
| mycosys | an old computer like a 1ghz machine can often handle 3 digital tuners and SD playback | 23:16 |
| mycosys | was doing 3 digital tuners and HD playback on a 1.8GHz sempron and GT210 | 23:16 |
| jbehmer1 | oh wow thats not too bad, i have an amd dual core in this 2.8 ghz i think, so hopefully it will do fine despite the card | 23:18 |
| mycosys | will be bogged down | 23:19 |
| mycosys | prolly handle 2 or 3 tuners max, might handle playback | 23:20 |
| mycosys | from experience, analog tuners are pita | 23:20 |
| mycosys | for a digital tuner all the machine does is take data from the tuner and write it to the disk, zero processing | 23:20 |
| mycosys | can get analog cards that do the encoding too - so they are good, but analog will be switched off soon | 23:21 |
| mycosys | anyway - all my point was is it will go much better with a better tuner, they are cheap | 23:23 |
| jbehmer1 | right, yeah. i was surprised last night when i hooked an antenna in and was picking up a couple channels. they must have been analog ones right? i didnt even know this card was analog but did some research on it to find out it was a hauppauge bt878 | 23:23 |
| mycosys | brooktree/conexant878 | 23:23 |
| jbehmer1 | i thought they got rid of analog in the US last year or year before | 23:23 |
| mycosys | lol | 23:23 |
| mycosys | i did too | 23:23 |
| mycosys | we still have it here, but not for long | 23:24 |
| jbehmer1 | haha yeah | 23:24 |
| jbehmer1 | okay the activation email finally came through for schedules direct. let me try this | 23:25 |
| mycosys | $40-50 or so will get a decent tuner normally | 23:26 |
| jbehmer1 | wow, you know i was looking on newegg 2 days ago and the cheapest i could find with hardware encoding was $109 | 23:28 |
| jbehmer1 | hauppauge ones that is | 23:28 |
| jbehmer1 | so, i put in my username and pw, now just click finish?? theres a checkbox for EIT scan and a button for retrieve lineups, but nothing for fetch from source on this window | 23:31 |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | ||
| jbehmer1 | i figured out how to add the video source, but when i try to set the input source, clicking "fetch channels from listings source" doesnt do anything. anyone know why?? im just using my keyboard and arrow keys, no IR | 23:50 |
