| fluvvell | does the current distro of mythbuntu boot being able to run live myth running system? | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| fluvvell | for testing tv cards for example | 00:26 |
| mrand | fluvvell: if you mean the live-cd (without doing an "install"), there is no backend in the live-cd, so you can't use THAT to test tv cards. But you could use vlc or mplayer that is there to test the tv cards. | 01:10 |
| fluvvell | yes, I have a going myth 0.23 install on a 10.04 release that cant seem to use a new card I've put in, so I was considering booting a live distro to test it. | 01:13 |
| fluvvell | I could install a backend for test purposes I guess | 01:13 |
| mrand | yeah, creating a second partition isn't hard, if you want to go that route | 01:16 |
| fluvvell | well, I was actually thinking of apt-get installing on the ramdisk -I have 2Gb RAM onboard | 01:18 |
| fluvvell | but there is 37G available on the myth drive, I could snaffle a few gigs of that just for a test run | 01:34 |
| superm1 | fluvvell: well the backend is present on the live cd, but the upstart job for both it and mysql-server are set to disabled | 03:33 |
| superm1 | if you rename those jobs, you can probably finagle getting it running on the live cd | 03:34 |
| fluvvell | ah, so all I have to do is enable in /etc/default and start them up? | 03:34 |
| superm1 | in /etc/init | 03:34 |
| superm1 | they should stand out to what they're renamed to | 03:34 |
| superm1 | whenever myth grows automatic card detection and such it might make more sense for us to have a functional backend on the CD | 03:35 |
| superm1 | but right now it's just way too much configuration to be useful for most people | 03:35 |
| fluvvell | superm1, sounds much better. now if only I can get him easily into remote support mode I'm cooking with gas. | 03:37 |
| superm1 | as in VNC? | 03:38 |
| superm1 | that should be do-able too | 03:38 |
| fluvvell | well I might use teamviewer | 03:38 |
| superm1 | i think the MCC VNC option will work on the live cd | 03:38 |
| fluvvell | oh, right | 03:38 |
| fluvvell | no firewall? | 03:39 |
| superm1 | not enabled by default | 03:39 |
| superm1 | you need to set a password for the VNC though when you turn it on | 03:40 |
| superm1 | it isn't "on by default" | 03:40 |
| fluvvell | yep, very used to using vnc. | 03:40 |
| fluvvell | I'd forgotten about mcc | 03:40 |
| fluvvell | i've got ssh into the box atm, but when he boots the live cd that will all be gone | 03:41 |
| superm1 | ah i see. well don't think there is an easy way to solve that - you will at least need a USB keyboard while on the live cd to get to things and re-enable SSH or anything else | 03:42 |
| fluvvell | yep, he can do most of that form me. but if he can enable vnc from the MCC then I'm probably good | 03:43 |
| superm1 | yeah | 03:43 |
| fluvvell | thanks :-) | 03:45 |
| superm1 | sure, hope it works out! | 03:46 |
| fluvvell | whats with the username and password on the live cd???? | 05:58 |
| fluvvell | anyone familiar with the stupid login on the 11.10 live cd??? | 06:56 |
| fluvvell | mrand, do you know why the cd just boots to a stupid box with a pc icon and the username Ubuntu under it, but keeps giving the X server fail on failsafe error?? | 07:05 |
| fluvvell | superm1, do you know? | 07:08 |
| fluvvell | can somebody please tell my why the live 11.10 cd won't login to an xfce session??? | 07:58 |
| fluvvell | hmm, nobody answered it in the ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11463929 either. | 08:03 |
| Technophil | Hi Can someone tell me where to put "sudo service dvbhdhomerun-utils start" in to run at boot time, as referenced at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/dvbhdhomerun/wiki/UbuntuPackages and http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/dvbhdhomerun/wiki/FAQ | 08:44 |
| Zinn | [sourceforge.net] UbuntuPackages â dvbhdhomerun | 08:44 |
| Technophil | I tried writing a file under /etc/init.d/starter.sh and put it in there, less the sudo, made it executable but that does not seem to work... | 08:46 |
| Technophil | I think I see the problem, LAN not up yet... | 08:59 |
| superm1 | fluvvell: if it's asking for a username and password, that means the X server crashed in it's initial attempt and the failsafe attempt started | 15:25 |
| superm1 | you can put in the username "ubuntu" and no password to login however | 15:25 |
| === Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker` | ||
| fluvvell | superm1, yes then the x server re-crashes and it comes back to the login. This same iso downloaded in two places boots the same on two different pcs. | 21:24 |
| fluvvell | there are hints that it may have to do with xfce, but as no other desktop option exists on the distro, its effectively a non-starter. | 21:26 |
| superm1 | fluvvell: double check the md5sum of the ISO image i would recommend | 22:08 |
| superm1 | and if you can, write it to a USB stick instead | 22:09 |
| fluvvell | the MD5 Checksum is just fine superm1, the disk is fine also. I think this is a dud distro. | 22:11 |
| fluvvell | and it pains me to say it. | 22:11 |
| fluvvell | its mythbuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 22:12 |
| fluvvell | I can CTRL-ALT-F1 across to a terminal, ps aux |grep xfconfd shows that xfconfd is in fact not running, just as the failsafe error message suggests. | 22:18 |
| fluvvell | trying to start or restart dbus locks me out of the computer and requires a reboot | 22:20 |
| DaveMorris | hey all | 22:37 |
| DaveMorris | not sure if what I want is possible so any pointers. | 22:37 |
| DaveMorris | I'm looking to run MythTV client and a Squeezebox client on the same PC. (Which I know I can do and currently do) However I want to output Myth sound over HDMI and squeezebox sound over coax | 22:38 |
| DaveMorris | is it possible? Will I need to maybe run squeezebox in a virtual machine with a second sound card in the machine? | 22:39 |
| DaveMorris | might pick up a raspberry pi to run squeezebox | 22:41 |
| fluvvell | superm1, mrand and anyone else listening to my ramblings - I added a user via the tty console, and was able to log in with that. The ubuntu user will NOT let me log in (apart from via tty) | 23:21 |
| fluvvell | I am about to reboot, because I also tried other things before adding the user - I want to see if that is the main issue. | 23:21 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris: is this Squeezebox just some network music app? | 23:21 |
| DaveMorris | yeah | 23:21 |
| DaveMorris | opensource java client | 23:21 |
| DaveMorris | the free app on my phone is good for selecting and playing music | 23:22 |
| DaveMorris | since I cna use it without having to turn on the TV (like with myth music) | 23:22 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris: I'd venture its as easy as configuring sqeezebox to use your coax output and leaving mythtv alone | 23:22 |
| DaveMorris | from what I've played with, they both just want to use the one clingured via sound preferences | 23:22 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveMorris: well in myth you can tell it what sound device to use | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | so maybe you make coax the default and let sqeezebox use that | 23:23 |
| DaveMorris | worth a play :) | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | and then in myth (frontend, setup > general > page 3 I think) | 23:23 |
| rhpot1991 | tell it to do hdmi | 23:23 |
| DaveMorris | cheers | 23:24 |
| rhpot1991 | and hopefully your hdmi isn't jumpered from the same sound device as the coax | 23:24 |
| DaveMorris | btw I'd recommend Squeezebox, it works nicely | 23:24 |
