| bixter | just want to say i switched from SageTV to mythbuntu (ltsp/diskless) and am so happy. I used mythtv like 10 years ago and it is great to see how much easier things are | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| sauc1er | it got lots disks and runs 24/7 | 00:02 |
| sauc1er | which box do you suggest for diskless mythtv? | 00:02 |
| bixter | im using zbox id41 | 00:03 |
| sauc1er | pxe boot? | 00:03 |
| sauc1er | fanless system? | 00:03 |
| bixter | ion2 and 2GB of ram. plays 1080p with hdmi audio at 5% cpu usage | 00:03 |
| bixter | yep pxe | 00:03 |
| bixter | i put a little 8GB sdhc stick in for theme and thumb caching | 00:04 |
| sauc1er | you got vlan or vpn set up? | 00:04 |
| sauc1er | lan side | 00:04 |
| bixter | all on the same vlan | 00:04 |
| bixter | ur want to pxe over vpn? | 00:04 |
| sauc1er | not if I have to ^^ | 00:04 |
| bixter | dont, same vlan works great | 00:05 |
| bixter | pxe over a vlan might need a helper | 00:05 |
| sauc1er | mhm pxe needs an extra dhcp server, right? | 00:05 |
| bixter | unless u have access to the config of the one running, yes/ | 00:06 |
| sauc1er | i run ddwrt on my router | 00:06 |
| bixter | perfect then u can add the right commands | 00:06 |
| bixter | i would pull that out though and run it on ur myth backend. look at mytbuntu | 00:07 |
| bixter | but it can stay on ur router with the right config | 00:07 |
| sauc1er | yeah, the thing is I have ubuntu-server with xfce already setup | 00:07 |
| bixter | ah | 00:07 |
| sauc1er | dont want to start over with a new installation | 00:07 |
| sauc1er | and i dont know if mythbuntu in a vm will integrate well | 00:08 |
| bixter | well, u could install ltsp and set things up yourself. its just a fat client | 00:08 |
| bixter | u prob domt have to | 00:08 |
| sauc1er | i could add the mythbuntu repos | 00:09 |
| bixter | i believe ltsp can create a myth fat client | 00:09 |
| bixter | right | 00:09 |
| sauc1er | how do I get rid of the awful configuration interafce | 00:09 |
| sauc1er | ? | 00:09 |
| sauc1er | just edit the .conf ? | 00:10 |
| sauc1er | is there something ncurses based or sth? | 00:10 |
| SkipMFreek | Hi, i was wondering if someone here could help. I'm trying to install mythbuntu on a parallel primary partition using wubi. However upon reboot im greated with a error saying sda cannot be found | 01:00 |
| SkipMFreek | Does anyone here have any experience with wubi ? | 01:00 |
| sauc1er | chroot into installation, and fix fstab using uuid | 01:01 |
| SkipMFreek | sauc1er: i haven't explored any similar possibilities , that might be worth exploring | 01:04 |
| SkipMFreek | sauc1er: how exactly can i do that ? with a liveUSB linux stick perhaps ? | 01:05 |
| SkipMFreek | sauc1er: in other words the installation doesn't even complete | 01:05 |
| SkipMFreek | however i suspect you know that | 01:06 |
| sauc1er | sry, pretty busy atm | 01:06 |
| sauc1er | there is a great deal of info in the buntu wiki | 01:07 |
| sauc1er | really comprehensive | 01:07 |
| SkipMFreek | i read it cover to cover, it make some small references to fstab but it doesn't say exactly what the problem is related to | 01:08 |
| SkipMFreek | ill be back in a moment | 01:13 |

| Kimble | I need some help setting up a bare-bones mythtv backend on oneiric. I'd be grateful if someone could walk me through this. :) | 14:11 |
| freemason1977 | when i startup mythbuntu it goes from the main desktop to what looks like a different desktop completely with a bluebackground and one folder. What do i make of this , its very odd. | 19:53 |
| freemason1977 | It is almost as if MB is starting a completely different desktop over the original one that has all of my icons. | 19:54 |
| freemason1977 | does anyone know what to make of this ? | 20:05 |
| freemason1977 | on bootup MB goes from one desktop to another | 20:05 |
