[00:43] <patdk-lap> did something happen?
[00:43] <patdk-lap> I'm only getting 404's for ppa:mythbuntu/0.24
[00:50] <patdk-lap> hmm, it's back
[02:00] <The_Thing> Anyone have experience with installing and configuring Lirc with a homebrew serial port receiver?
[02:01] <The_Thing> ...in Mythbuntu
[02:23] <qwebirc84176> Hello, I have setup MythTV on Ubuntu, I have a HD-PVR, the drivers are configured, I can record video by making a test.ts file. The problem I have is I don't get any video in MythTV when I click on Watch Live TV, any ideas?
[02:43] <The_Thing> !helo lirc
[02:43] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about helo lirc
[02:44] <The_Thing> !help lirc
[02:44] <Zinn> !help lirc For a  complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi  Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].
[02:44] <The_Thing> Where is the setup script for Lirc?
[02:53] <The_Thing> Anyone here know how to configure LIRC for Mythbuntu?
[02:54] <The_Thing> When I turned it on in the MCC, it asked for my remote control, and I found my homebrew IR receiver in the list in the initial setup dialog. But when I go to test it with irw, it picks up nothing.
[02:55] <The_Thing> It's been tested in WinLIRC, and it does work in there...
[05:26] <radicalbiscuit> Hi all. I installed mythbuntu as a backend+frontend. I'd like to stop X from running and run it headless but without uninstalling anything so I can run the frontend on demand if I want, but without inittab or sane init levels, I'm not sure how to go about this, especially since mythbuntu's ui setup differs from ubuntu's so much. Any ideas?
[16:30] <_antant> hey guys.
[16:30] <_antant> I'm having a problem with installing mythbuntu
[16:31] <_antant> I've created a live usb and it won't go past...
[16:31] <_antant> 'SYSLINUX 3.82 2009-06-09 CBIOS ....etc'
[16:31] <_antant> Any hints?
[18:02] <qwebirc57594> I have a Hauppauge hvr 2250. its' the version with the NON USB reciever.  I decided to buy a cheap usb receiver to make the remote work.  The remote that came with the receiver works. the hauppauge one refuses to operate. I thought all MCE usb receivers worked with all MCE remotes. what gives?
[18:12] <chiluk> qwebirc57594
[18:13] <qwebirc57594> yeah, it's a random name from the webchat, okay? :)
[18:13] <chiluk> the problem is that lirc is detect the ir sensor as whatever remote it came with.
[18:13] <chiluk> you would have to edit and recompile lirc to detect your usb sensor to be one that can receive codes from your hauppauge remote.
[18:13] <chiluk> I haven't ever done this, but I've thought about doing it.
[18:14] <chiluk> I don't know how straightforward it would be.
[18:14] <chiluk> If I were you I'd stick with the MCE usb remote.
[18:14] <qwebirc57594> seems like that will be needed, since the reciever on the cable is not supported. what'sa frustratign is the card used to come with a USB receiver, adn that worked.
[18:15] <chiluk> I don't think the hauppauge remote uses the mce driver... I could be wrong though.
[18:15] <qwebirc57594> it's got a windows button on it. it's shown on the wiki.
[18:15] <chiluk> yeah.. I have an hvr-2250
[18:15] <chiluk> and i got a generic mce usb remote...
[18:15] <qwebirc57594> if i had the hauppauge usb receiver it woudl be working.
[18:15] <chiluk> and then programmed my harmony to talk that.
[18:15] <chiluk> that is true.
[18:15] <qwebirc57594> it IS a MCE remote, so says Happauge.
[18:16] <chiluk> you might want to check irw to see if any remote codes are being captured.
[18:16] <qwebirc57594> irw shows nothing.
[18:16] <qwebirc57594> could it be that i have a version 1 receiver?
[18:17] <chiluk> mce remote could mean a ton of things ... especially to a marketting group.
[18:17] <chiluk> you are at the extent of my experience..
[18:17] <qwebirc57594> i know there are two revisions of MCE remote version 1 and version 2.
[18:17] <chiluk> I have never attempted to get a remote to work with a receiver that wasn't it's own.
[18:17] <chiluk> but it should theoretically be possible.
[18:18] <chiluk> that sounds feasible.
[18:18] <chiluk> you might want to grep the lirc remote profiles form hauppauge
[18:18] <chiluk> and see what driver they are using with it.
[18:18] <qwebirc57594> is ther a way to tell which version a remote is using?
[18:19] <chiluk> I do not know of a way.
[18:19] <chiluk> what I would do is grep for hauppauge in the lirc sources
[18:19] <qwebirc57594> thanks anyway.
[18:20] <qwebirc57594> this remote that does work says PCRemote on it.
[18:20] <chiluk> and add your usb receiver to the list of detected devices for that driver.
[18:20] <chiluk> what is lsmod telling you.
[18:20] <qwebirc57594> lsusb does show the receiver. let me go look again.
[18:21] <qwebirc57594> Chaplet Systems Incorporated. and strangely enough irw shows nothing when usign it. do i have to kill lircd befroe running irw?
[18:22] <chiluk>  it should watch lircd by default so I assume you need it up.
[18:22] <chiluk> sudo irw?
[18:24] <qwebirc57594> okay i think i get it.
[18:24] <qwebirc57594> irw is not looking for the tv keys because the remote that came with the reciever doesn't have them.
[18:25] <qwebirc57594> but i have lircd configured for MCE remotes, and it works. is that proof that the tv-key less remote is a MCE one? i assumed it was because it has a windows logo key.
[18:26] <chiluk> irw is dumb and will print out every command that lirc understands
[18:27] <qwebirc57594> this is what i bought because it was cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Center-Remote-Control-Infrared-Receiver/dp/B001HBOJRQ
[18:27] <chiluk> so your new and old remote both work only some of the buttons on the hauppauge remote don't work.
[18:27] <qwebirc57594> the receivers remote some of the buttons show stuff, others show nothing.
[18:28] <qwebirc57594> NOTHING shows for the hauppauge.
[18:28] <chiluk> ok.
[18:28] <qwebirc57594> the ouse rocker moves the mouse and shows nothing in irw.
[18:28] <chiluk> it's probably because lirc doesn't have ir codes that your remote is sending.
[18:30] <chiluk> sounds like your ir remote may be loading it's own hid driver?
[18:31] <qwebirc57594> and showig up as a keyboard and mouse?
[18:31] <qwebirc57594> dammit. :)
[18:32] <_antant_> Hi guys, I'm having a problem.
[18:33] <_antant_> I can't get any video out of my Radeon 5450 on HDMI with a fresh install
[18:33] <qwebirc57594> are their actual sub 20$ cmce usb receivers.
[18:38] <qwebirc57594> time to post an unflattering review on amazon.
[18:43] <chiluk> I wouldn't post an unflattering review
[18:43] <chiluk> you are using it not as it was intended.
[18:43] <chiluk> you might want to leave no answer to the stars, and a long comment on what you couldn't get it to do.
[18:44] <chiluk> or perhaps 2 or 3 stars and mention that the linux drivers aren't there yet.
[18:45] <qwebirc57594> I said 2 stars, and entitled it as NOT a media center remote at all.
[18:45] <chiluk> _antant_ are you able to get any video on any output with a normal monitor?
[18:45] <_antant_> dunno. haven't got one
[18:45] <qwebirc57594> and said that i bough tit to use with my actual MCE remote, and it didn't work.
[18:45] <qwebirc57594> and it gets 2 stars because it actually does function.
[18:46] <chiluk> I don't think you correctly understand how all the parts interoperate.
[18:46] <chiluk> all mce remotes don't work with all receivers out of the box.
[18:46] <qwebirc57594> it's definitely a keyboard/mouse.
[18:47] <chiluk> is that what you are seeing in lspci?
[18:47] <chiluk> or lsusb?
[18:48] <chiluk> _antant_ you might need the latest radeon drivers to driver the new card.
[18:48] <chiluk> i gave up on ati a few years back... and I really can't help you any more about anything with their stuff.
[18:48] <chiluk> ok back to work with me.
[18:49] <_antant_> damn
[18:49] <Zinn> _antant_: Please watch your language.
[18:49] <chiluk> hah
[18:49] <_antant_> hmm
[18:51] <qwebirc57594> i killed lircd and it still works.
[18:51] <qwebirc57594> i think that's proof right there.
[18:52] <chiluk> yeah
[18:52] <chiluk> probably
[18:52] <_antant_> ok, now got video but also a purple line down the left of my screen. joy
[18:52] <_antant_> progress though
[18:53] <qwebirc57594> yeah. nvidia just works better in linux at the moment i think.
[18:54] <chiluk> _antant_ ... my suggestion would be to plug in a second monitor
[18:54] <qwebirc57594> yes it would be nice if there was an open source driver with full acceleration, but there's actually a very good reason for closed source drivers, from a software developers standpoint.
[18:54] <chiluk> in order to set the proper res/refresh in the ati drivers for your hdmi output.
[18:54] <chiluk> there's a good chance your tv doesn't like what your vid card is tossing at it
[18:54] <qwebirc57594> (they are a lot harder to hack to cheat in online games)
[18:54] <_antant_> argh. May be a very quick foray into mythbuntu and then back to win7
[18:55] <chiluk> Don't do it!  the old evil empire is still evil...
[18:55] <_antant_> lol
[18:55] <_antant_> It worked though
[18:56] <chiluk> i actually switched to myth after using beyondtv for 2 yrs and then media center for 2 months...
[18:57] <chiluk> I've been on Mythtv for about 3 yrs now....
[18:59] <_antant_> Well hopefully it'll work after I've updated everything and restarted
[19:06] <chiluk> have you installed ati's restricted drivers yet?
[19:07] <_antant_> in the process of updating and restarting
[19:08] <chiluk> updating is one thing
[19:08] <chiluk> but you have to actively tell ubuntu to use ati's restricted drivers instead of the open source ones.
[19:08] <chiluk> because ati is a bi ----tch like that.
[19:08] <_antant_> Yeah, I have done
[19:09] <_antant_> Zinn! Zinn! Look what he did!
[19:09] <Zinn> Hi _antant_, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
[19:10] <_antant_> Just applying the ~200Mb of updates
[19:10] <_antant_> and then restarting and we'll see what happens
[19:12] <_antant_> Don't know of an SAB script that does well renaming movies do you?
[19:13] <_antant_> Would really rather never having to exit MythTV
[19:13] <_antant_> never have to.
[19:13] <_antant_> What the heel is up with my English today?
[19:16] <chiluk> I do not know a script off hand..
[19:16] <chiluk> but there are tons of renaming scripts.
[19:19] <_antant_> yeah, hoping I can find one that does it well
[21:14] <_antant_> Ok, anyone know where there's a compatibility list for TV tuners for mythtv?
[21:19] <_antant_> Ok, there doesn't seem to be much information on any PCIe cards
[21:19] <_antant_> Does anyone here have experience setting up a TV tuner in mythtv?
[22:41] <_antant> anyone come across the problem of having 2 pictures shown with a tuner card, one above the other?
[23:08] <_antant> Please let there be someone around
