| tzanger | good evening... I have a 10.04 mytbuntu install that worked great. I added an 11.04 slave backend and it helpfully upgraded the db schema on the master backend without any prompt or warning | 02:32 |
| tzanger | so, given that I just discovered that the mythbbuntu automatic backups weren't working, I'd like to try to bring the 10.04 mythbuntu install to 11.04 to try to get some semblance of a working system back. Is this possible? | 02:32 |
| tzanger | can I get to the mythtv install for 11.04 without upgrading the entire ubuntu system on the master backend to 11.04? | 02:33 |
| tzanger | oh wait, I just found the backups | 02:35 |
| tzanger | I can get my db back from a week ago. that'll work | 02:35 |
| tzanger | it might be a really, really good idea for a SLAVE backend to throw up a huge freaking warning before just blindly upgrading the db schema | 02:35 |
| Owner | hi, i just installed mythbuntu on a laptop with a completely broken display, connected to a TV with VGA input | 11:19 |
| Owner | when I ran the install the TV was automatically used as the display | 11:19 |
| Owner | now that i completed the install and rebooted it isn't | 11:19 |
| Owner | could anyone suggest how i can reconfigure over the network or otherwise? | 11:20 |
| Owner | i tried ssh but couldn't find gnome-display-properties and tried vnc but coudlnt find any config dialog for that | 11:21 |
| mycosys | so you couldnt get vnc working, or couldnt figure how to configure x? | 11:24 |
| Owner | i got vnc working | 11:24 |
| Owner | but i just had access to the mythtv menu | 11:24 |
| mycosys | also - mythbuntu doesnt use gnome - it uses xfce | 11:24 |
| Owner | and none of the config options seemed to lead to that | 11:24 |
| Owner | ah ok | 11:25 |
| Owner | that makes snese | 11:25 |
| mycosys | if you had vnc up it go into the system menu on the xfce panel | 11:25 |
| mycosys | i set up TV via xorg.conf - but i have an nvidia card | 11:26 |
| Owner | do you mean the system menu from where there is a large menu that fills the screen with tv/weather/etc? | 11:31 |
| mycosys | oh | 11:31 |
| mycosys | get out of myth | 11:31 |
| Owner | it is not a normal desktop but a specia | 11:31 |
| Owner | oh ok | 11:31 |
| Owner | then i will be in an xfce desktop? | 11:31 |
| mycosys | then you will be on the mythbuntu desktop | 11:31 |
| mycosys | uhuh | 11:31 |
| Owner | ok, awesome | 11:31 |
| Owner | i think i should be able to find it from there | 11:31 |
| mycosys | btw - winswitch | 11:32 |
| mycosys | is awesome | 11:32 |
| mycosys | is a very nice cross platform frontend for x forwarding that can be disconnected from and re-attatched to | 11:32 |
| mycosys | ie - you can run a remote X as tho it were on your local machine, without worrying what is on the remote machine's screen | 11:33 |
| mycosys | you can disconnect, and then when you reconnect the app will be as you left it | 11:33 |
| mycosys | you can move it from screen to screen | 11:33 |
| mycosys | actually - most of that is xpra, winswitch is a frontend to it | 11:34 |
| Owner | that sounds great, not just for this but for other things | 11:36 |
| Owner | i assume that you can tell by the nick that i'm a windows user? :) | 11:36 |
| mycosys | mainly cos u were using vnc | 11:37 |
| Owner | oh ok | 11:37 |
| mycosys | x forwarding is more efficient for what ur tryn to do lol | 11:38 |
| mycosys | dont worry - i am typing to u form windows myself | 11:38 |
| mycosys | winswitch freed me from finding a half decent x server that would run on win7 | 11:39 |
| Owner | thanks a lot for your help mycosys | 11:43 |
| Owner | i got the display working now | 11:43 |
| mycosys | glad it was some lol | 11:43 |
| Owner | i will try winswitch too i think | 11:43 |
| Owner | thanks again | 11:44 |
| mycosys | what kind of gpu does it have? | 11:44 |
| mycosys | yw | 11:44 |
