[00:02] <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?
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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 ^^
[00:05] <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?
[00:06] <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
[00:07] <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
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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> ?
[00:10] <sauc1er> just edit the .conf ?
[00:10] <sauc1er> is there something ncurses based or sth?
[01:00] <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 ?
[01:01] <sauc1er> chroot into installation, and fix fstab using uuid
[01:04] <SkipMFreek> sauc1er:  i haven't explored any similar possibilities , that might be worth exploring
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <SkipMFreek> however i suspect you know that
[01:06] <sauc1er> sry, pretty busy atm
[01:07] <sauc1er> there is a great deal of info in the buntu wiki
[01:07] <sauc1er> really comprehensive
[01:08] <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
[01:13] <SkipMFreek> ill be back in a moment
[14:11] <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. :)
[19:53] <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.
[19:54] <freemason1977> It is almost as if MB is starting a completely different desktop over the original one that has all of my icons.
[20:05] <freemason1977> does anyone know what to make of this ?
[20:05] <freemason1977> on bootup MB goes from one desktop to another
[20:10] <TandyUK> ok i have installed a mythbuntu systemn for a friend consisting of a backend and 2 frontends
[20:10] <TandyUK> now im stuggling to answer some baic questions, and google isnt helping
[20:11] <TandyUK> they are: How do you create a playlist
[20:11] <TandyUK> for both music and videos
[20:11] <TandyUK> pretty simple request i think
[20:29] <freemason1977> brb
[20:49] <freemason1977> got a bit of a odd happenings here,  my main desktop disappears on startup and i am greeted with a different blue desktop
