[06:14] <jwm123> hello.  I have a basic question about where to put my videos so mythbuntu 10.10 actually finds them.  It's a new install.  Can anyone guide a little?
[06:14] <Shadow__X> jwm123: there is a videos folder in your home folder
[06:15] <jwm123> yes, that was my first try
[06:15] <jwm123> didn't work
[06:15] <Shadow__X> but what do you mean that mythbuntu will actually find them
[06:15] <Shadow__X> i believe you mean so that mythtv will find them
[06:15] <jwm123> Shadow, thanks, a better way to put it
[06:16] <jwm123> So when I'm in mythTV and I go to watch videos, it finds none
[06:16] <Shadow__X> if you want mythtv to find videos so you can use mythvideo then you define where it looks under myth-setup
[06:16] <jwm123> out in the x-shell?
[06:16] <Shadow__X> also just to make sure you plan to record tv with your install right? Because if not there are better choices for just watching videos
[06:17] <jwm123> Shadow, I don't care about recording TV
[06:17] <jwm123> but the interface to mythTV is so simple, I can let my wife and kids use it
[06:17] <Shadow__X> if thats the case then mythtv is not for you
[06:17] <jwm123> for my part I prefer VLC
[06:18] <Shadow__X> if you do not plan to record tv then there are much easier options
[06:18] <Shadow__X> for example boxee or xbmc
[06:18] <Shadow__X> they are easier to setup as well
[06:18] <Shadow__X> and do not need special installs
[06:18] <jwm123> I believe you, but I've done the install, it's running right beside me and I'd be interested in making it work
[06:19] <Shadow__X> then to setup the videos you need to run mythtv-setup
[06:19] <jwm123> OK
[06:19] <Shadow__X> and define a video group within storage groups
[06:20] <jwm123> ok
[06:20] <jwm123> I actually did this already
[06:20] <jwm123> /home/<username>/Videos
[06:21] <Shadow__X> then when you are running mythfrontend you need to go to mythvideo press m and scan for changes
[06:22] <jwm123> ok -- gimme a second
[06:22] <Shadow__X> you can have 2
[06:22] <jwm123> thanks.  I appreciate the help
[06:22] <jwm123> i'm booting it fresh
[06:23] <Shadow__X> you still need to scan for changes everytime you add new videos
[06:23] <Shadow__X> and yw
[06:23] <jwm123> scan for changes seems to have worked.
[06:24] <jwm123> Thank you
[06:24] <jwm123> any advice on connecting to a networked drive or a usb drive?
[06:24] <Shadow__X> yup but again if i were you i would take a look at boxee or xbmc its more inline with what you are looking for
[06:24] <jwm123> thanks.  I may do so
[06:25] <jwm123> gnight
[06:25] <Shadow__X> good night

[11:57] <aelen_v> What have to be stopped to suspend to RAM and what have to be started after wakeup in order to be able to watch TV again? There is something more than mythtv-backend only. Using 10.04.
[12:05] <mycoDA> aelen_v afaik it should only be mythfrontend
[12:05] <mycoDA> there is a full acpi wakup system built into myth
[12:06] <mycoDA> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup
[12:06] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] ACPI Wakeup - MythTV Official Wiki
[12:06] <mycoDA> yet to have the motivation to set it up, my backend is also my torrent client and NAQS
[12:06] <mycoDA> *NAS
[12:16] <aelen_v> Suspend fails (->hard reboot) if I first don't stop backend. I also don't want to reboot as there: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup#S3_.28Suspend_to_RAM.29
[12:16] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] ACPI Wakeup - MythTV Official Wiki
[12:17] <aelen_v> After wakeup, I can manually start backend but frontend still fails to start.
[12:22] <aelen_v> The reason is "Unable to connect to database!"
[12:24] <aelen_v> So, how to cleanly disconnect from Mysql (and again reconnect)? That is the question I guess.
[12:38] <mycoDA> no idea dude - seems rather wrong to me and would guess mysql has crashed
[12:38] <mycoDA> would suggest the guys on #mythtv-users would be more help - doesnt seem to be many here atm and i doubt it is a buntu specific matter
[14:55] <aelen_v> Thanks. After all, several reruns showed it to be enough to stop only backend. The MySQL problem has not occured again. Now I'm to figure out, how to write a script to  run my "mythshutdown" when I'm idle (longer than display off). BTW, I'm using HP Compaq, which does not support /proc/acpi/alarm.
[16:59] <mycoDA> aelen_v you shouldnt need to stop the backend afaik
[18:58] <qwebirc21912> what is the best way to do a clean install on a machine that only has HDMI out? I get video mode not supported once the install starts
[19:07] <jsheezy> that HDMI question is actually mine... I just remembered I have a login
[19:08] <rhpot1991> jsheezy: temporarily hook up to a monitor
[19:08] <rhpot1991> then get ssh or vnc installed
[19:08] <rhpot1991> then you can remote in at will
[19:08] <rhpot1991> you may be able to ctrl+alt+f key to get to a prompt with hdmi hooked up as well
[19:08] <jsheezy> the problem is that the pc only has HDMI out, there is no vga out
[19:10] <jsheezy> i get the prompt now, is there something I can configure from here?
[19:15] <rhpot1991> oh sorry I misread, this is at install not after
[19:16] <jsheezy> correct at install
[19:16] <rhpot1991> you should be able to alter the options when the keyboard icon comes up on install

[19:16] <Zinn> [help.ubuntu.com] BootOptions - Community Ubuntu Documentation
[20:11] <jsheezy> is there a "SAFE MODE" vga value to use when I am configuring this?
