* Batshua has paid the bill.00:25
BatshuaActually, more pressing problem, I think.00:25
BatshuaI updated to .24-fixes at the behest of mythtv-users, and now my audio has done borked itself00:26
Batshuai WAS using pulseaudio00:26
* Batshua waves at the channel01:59
BatshuaIf you saw me in #mythtv-users, you know what's going on, otherwise, here goes:01:59
BatshuaI am now using mythtv 0.24-fixes on lucid.  In the prior version, audio was fine.01:59
BatshuaNow I have NO AUDIO, but only on mythtv.  Audio is fine on the rest of the system.  I have tried EVERY available audio setting in mythtv to no avail.02:00
BatshuaI do not know where to go from here, and if anyone could assist, I would be extremely grateful.02:00
gregLBatshua, Did you scan for audio in the frontend?04:09
Batshuayes04:09
Batshuai tried every option in there except null04:09
gregLIt works outside of mythtv?04:11
Batshuayup04:13
Batshuain 0.23 i was using pulseaudio (which i hear is impossible) and it worked fine04:13
Batshuasince the upgrade, ... no sound in mythtv04:13

James2any ideas why when i launch mythtv backend setup, all i get is a blank screen?14:04
James2the terminal window shows no errors, and shows that it connected to the db etc14:05
rileypyou mean mythtv-setup?14:06
rileypor mythbackend14:06
rileypif mythbackend you wont see anything as its just a daemon14:07
rileypmythtv-setup brings up a gui14:07
James2mythtv-setup.real14:08
James2checking on my drivers,14:08
rileypyou dont need the .real14:08
James2the nvidia driver is saying14:08
James2no, thats what teh task bar says14:08
James2i laucnhed it from the menu14:08
James2the nvidia driver is saying "this driver is activated but not currently in use"14:08
rileypdrivers? you dont set drivers in mythtv-setup14:09
James2ive been googling, and not having the drivers setup proerly was one of the issues that was mentioned14:09
James2i can seee the background of the mytht-setup prog, but none of the options show up14:09
rileypahh so you want to install nvidia drivers14:09
rileypso have you run sudo nvidia-xconfig14:10
James2ah right14:10
rileypto set up xorg.conf for nviida14:10
rileypgo read how to install nv drivers please14:10
rileypthen sudo servive gdm restart14:11
rileypand nv wil activate if you have the drivers installed14:11
rileypesle no screen and you sad14:11
rileypsadder14:11
James2hmm14:12
James2done ethat now vnc isnt working14:12
rileypif your unsure look in synaptic at what nv driver are installed14:12
James2i used the proprietory drivers gui14:12
James2173 is installed14:13
rileyplol what version of nv card is it?14:13
rileypmodel sorry14:13
rileypa 44014:13
James27300 GS14:13
James2no its well old14:13
James2its the newest nvidia card with a working svideo output14:14
rileypwell thne you wont be running latest nv drivers I know14:14
James28xxx series onwards they removed the svideo capabilities14:14
rileypmaybe just run stock driver until you find a good guide for your card14:14
James2as i found out when i tried upgrading the card a couple of years ago lol14:14
James2no it must be running the nvidia driver for the tvout to work14:15
rileypwell then find a guide its not a mythbuntu issue its a my nv card wont play cricket issue14:15
James2well now i have no screen even when it boots14:16
James2white and black vertical lines is all im getting now lol14:16
James2and i cant ssh or vnc in lol14:16
rileypctrl alt and f114:17
James2s14:17
James2to skip whatever it was waiting for14:17
rileypand then sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf14:17
rileypand then sudo service gdm restart14:17
rileypand you will have gui but no nv xorg,conf14:18
James2ok, lets see what it was waiting for on the boot14:18
rileypthat does not skip anything it simply puts you in a tty screen as apposed to the gnome which driver isnt working14:19
James2damn i7 quad core with ssd boots fast :P14:19
ZinnJames2: Please watch your language.14:19
James2and same issue on boot :S14:19
James2hmm14:19
James2and the same regardless which tty im looking at14:20
James2once it boots gfx are fine however14:20
James2perhaps this card is on its way out lol14:20
rileypI doubt you just nendd to set your xorg.conf correctly14:21
rileypneed sorry14:21
James2its fine once it boots14:21
James2its only the "loading mythbuntu" screen which looks fugly14:21
rileypdid you remove xorg.conf?14:21
James2yes14:21
James2this is post having done that14:21
rileypso now its not using nv driver ok14:21
James2it did it before and after14:22
James2as i ihave a picture on my monitor, yes14:22
James2whe its set to use the nv driver, the only output goes to the svideo (which i have othing connected to) hence needing to use vnc14:22
rileypthats if you have your xorg.conf set that way you should be able to run both vga or dvi and svideo at same time you just need to make xorg.conf right14:24
James2time to put vga=771 on the boot options14:24
James2no snag with these cards14:24
James2you can only use one of the outputs at a time14:24
James2it cant clone the output as the svideo and monitor cannot display the same res14:24
rileypthen you know more than I do about it so good luck...14:25
James2you end up losing half the tv picture if you try cloning it14:25
James2but why i have screwed  gfx during boot i haave no idea14:25
rileypdont clone14:25
James2once X starts, they sort themselves out14:25
rileyprun seperate res on each14:26
rileypin xorg.conf14:26
James2where the kernel boot options in ubuntu14:27
James2grub doesnt have a menu.lst, so where doe it get the list tof boot options from?14:27
rileyplike this one here 2 diff displays 2 diff setups http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:JudderFree14:27
Zinn[www.mythtv.org] User Manual:JudderFree - MythTV14:27
rileypgrub2 is awesome14:28
rileypjust gotta know its tricks14:28
James2look i only have 1 screen to be configured on this system, a TV14:28
James2i will not have a monitor connected once installed14:29
rileypIm not looking  :P14:29
James2it will not even be remotely possible to plug a screen in, so i will not setup X for anything other than what i need14:29
James2thats what vnc is for lol14:29
rileypok thats good14:29
James2and fyi, service gdm restart doesnt restart vnc14:30
rileypyou just said you cant vnc14:30
James2you have to reboot to have the same effect, while leaving vnc working14:30
rileypI know14:30
James2if you service gdm restart, i then have to ssh in, issue a reboot command, and after the reboot i can vnc back in14:30
James2yeah i couldnt vnc because you told me to restart gdm lol14:31
rileypI dint know you were using vnc you  said you couldnt14:31
rileypJames this is going nowhere go find a guide on how to setup svideo. I think thoigh support is waneing in the newer kernels14:33
James2youre really not helping lol14:33
James2i dont need help setting up svideo14:33
James2im trying to work out how to change the boot options given to the kernel by grub14:33
James2so that i can see the screen while it is booting, ie BEFORE x is started14:34
James2thats edit14:35
James2/etc/default/grub14:35
James2and grub-mkconfig btw14:35
rileypafter you edit /etc/default/grub you need to run sudo update-grub14:37
rileypso that the grub menu is updated with your edits14:38
rileypgrub mk config Im not usre if it even looks at etc/default/grub when making the configuration file14:39
James2ty14:55
James2i have a screen now having disable quiet and splash14:55
James2no idea why splash rendered so wierdly tho14:56
James2has anyone got any experience of running a DVB-T and DVB-S cards in the same system15:07
James2mainly to do with listings info, as i can get listing info for both types by EIT,15:07
James2but they share 90% of the same channels, all of which are updateable by xmltv15:08
James2but channel numbers (and rarely times) vary between the different sources15:08
James2also how can i force a particluar card dto be detected as a certain /dev/dvb/adaptorX15:10
James2atm i have a dual channel nova-t card, and a dual dvb-s card15:10
James2/dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend0 and /dev/dvb/adaptor2/frontend0 are the dvb-t card15:11
James2and15:11
James2/dev/dvb/adaptor1/frontend0 and ../frontend1 are the dvb-s card15:11
James2they do seem to be staying the same after reboots15:17

rhpot1991!ask19:50
ZinnPlease don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.19:50
James2^2ok, with a system where i have DVB-T and DVB-S cards, i have added all the dvb-t channels, ive just added 100+ non conflicting dvb-s channels, but now it is asking me "insert all, insernt manually or ignore all" with 115 conflicting dvb chanels19:51
James2^2what should i do?19:51
James2^2i have created different input sources for dvb-t and dvb-s19:52
James2^2any idea?19:59
James2^2i know im going to have channels available on multiple inputs20:01
James2^2eg, bbc1 could come from dvb-t or dvb-s20:01
James2^2ooh now i have "off air" channels too lol20:14
James2^2and now "channel xxxxx (xxxx xx) was found to be in conflict with other channels. please enter a unique channel number"20:15
James2^2this is proving to be a right pita lol20:15
Number6Any issues with upgrading to Natty?21:33
