[01:03] <RudeTux> hi all
[01:03] <RudeTux> ~
[01:03] <RudeTux> i'm seeking some help for mythbuntu
[01:03] <RudeTux> i want to install and boot it from an external hd
[01:04] <RudeTux> but i dont know how to do this
[01:05] <RudeTux> i would be running mythbuntu in my htpc hd and the frontend on the external hd
[01:05] <RudeTux> if someone could help me in this i would be very apreciatted
[01:08] <RudeTux> i forgot to mention that this is my first contact with mythbuntu and that i am using ubuntu not for about 3 years
[01:10] <mycosys> so what are you trying to do, and what is the problem?
[01:12] <RudeTux> i tried to install mythbuntu on my ext hd from a win7 laptop (lame) using universal usb installer and the iso, but when all is done i reboot the laptop to try and boot the hd but an error message just keeps appearing
[01:13] <RudeTux> something like boot whatevr missing, press ctrl del to reboot
[01:14] <RudeTux> from what i googled there seems to be missing some OS boot files
[01:15] <RudeTux> but i dont know how to solve this one
[01:15] <RudeTux> :/
[01:15] <RudeTux> win 7 sux so bad
[01:15] <RudeTux> lol
[01:18] <RudeTux> the question is, am i doing the right thing to install mythubuntu in my external hd or is there any other procedure?
[01:19] <mycosys> depends on your laptop - but what you definitely ARE doing VERY wrong is :
[01:20] <mycosys> (10:13:50 AM) RudeTux: something like boot whatevr missing, press ctrl del to reboot
[01:20] <mycosys> how the heck can we help you with no information?
[01:24] <RudeTux> heheh you are right but to help more i would need to reset my laptop (wich i am using for mirc right now). i'm positive the info is a very comon one on vista and 7 "boot files missing, please press ctl+alt+del to reboot"
[01:26] <RudeTux> i seached that this is sometinh related to dual boot
[01:26] <RudeTux> dont know if i'm right
[01:28] <RudeTux> but for know i would only be doing the instalation of mythbuntu in my ext hd from this laptop
[01:28] <RudeTux> the ext hd would be conected to my htpc wich would be also using mythbuntu
[01:31] <RudeTux> i formated both my ext hd and htpc hd (both fat32) and would be doing the instalation on both from my laptop because i dont have any other pc at home
[01:33] <RudeTux> both my htpc and laptop dont have any cd or dvd drive, because i curently cant aford one for my htpc and cause my laptop didnt bring one,that's why i'm instaling it this way
[01:35] <RudeTux> so if someone could explain me how to properly install mythbuntu in a external hd in way it is fully bootable, that would be a start
[01:35] <RudeTux> (sorry for extending myself)
[03:03] <tgm4883> does anyone have a new (not upgraded) Mythbuntu 11.04 install and can check something for me?
[03:03] <tgm4883> I would like to know output of
[03:04] <tgm4883> ls -l /var/lib/mythtv/
[03:06] <dmfrey> anyone seeing slow channel lock with hdpvr on 10.10 or 11.04?
[03:11] <tgm4883> dmfrey, i'm got an hdpvr on 10.04.2, but I don't use livetv
[03:11] <tgm4883> I don't think it has slow lock
[03:13] <dmfrey> tgm4883: yeah, in 10.04, it wasn't an issue, upgrade to 10.10 and every channel change you get a popup...failed to lock, then after a few seconds it locks and changes the channel
[03:13] <tgm4883> dmfrey, what is your timeout set to?
[03:14] <dmfrey> i updated it to 6 seconds, but it didn't really seem to matter
[03:14] <dmfrey> the time always seems to be the same whether it was default or 6 seconds
[03:15] <tgm4883> IIRC, i've heard recommendations of 10 seconds
[03:15] <dmfrey> ok, i will update it to 10 and try it out
[03:15] <dmfrey> actually it does something else funny as well
[03:17] <dmfrey> if I am recording on hdpvr, and happening to be watching part of that recording when another recording starts, it stops the hdpvr and immediately starts a second one
[03:18] <dmfrey> it may do this a bunch of times over the course of the recording duration, but usually happens when a recording starts on another tuner and only for the hdpvr
[03:20] <dmfrey> i am not too concerned about it right now, got some new hardware an gonna rebuild it in a few weeks, but thought it was odd and wondered if anyone else was running into it.
[14:43] <pladijs> I have a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ which contains "DISPLAY=:1 /usr/bin/firefox": this starts firefox in case of a resume after pm-suspend. When i invoke "sudo pm-suspend" this works fine. When pm-suspend is called by mythwelcome, however, nothing happens. Any ideas?
[14:45] <pladijs> when i store the output of "whoami", i get nothing when the script is run from mythwelcome
[14:46] <pladijs> shouldnt this be "root"?
[21:38] <JosX> I have a question, I am trying to get my firewire setup, however whenever i type "plugreport" into the terminal nothing happends. Anyone have any idea what the case might be?
