dekarlsuperm1: FYI when I run build-debs.sh against master I have to manually git stash the mythweb checkout after failed builds08:35
thorwilhi! my fresh mythbuntu installation does not boot, all i get is blank screen with blinking cursor10:22
thorwili already tried editing /etc/default/grub, removing "quiet splash" to try "xforcevesa", "nomodeset" or "text". always running update-grub within chroot. no success10:24
thorwilthere's some syslinux thing in the mbr of the sole hd. first partition is a fat32 efi ... i would think this is how it should be10:28
rileypthorwil try ctrl alt and f1 when you see the cursor10:44
rileypthorwil: are you thre10:44
thorwilrileyp: the only key.combo that works at that stage ist ctrl-alt-del for reset10:45
rileypso it boots to  flashing cursor?10:45
thorwilyes. i guess it fails before even loading all of grub, because holding down shift does nothing10:46
rileypdo you get the grub emnu10:46
rileypdid you use a usb stick to install or cd10:47
thorwilno, it's straight motherboard boot screen -> blinking cursor10:47
thorwilusb stick10:47
rileypah ok and then it says no boot disk? or just hangs at cursar10:48
rileypcursor sorry10:48
rileypwas it a clean install on a new disk did you select partitions and did you install grub to sda during setup?10:49
rileypor is a windows dual boot which is fine so long as you chose sda to install grub10:50
rileypand windows is on teh first partition10:50
thorwil3rd attempt installing on a fresh disc. allowed mythbuntu to partition as it likes10:50
rileypI personally have had a lot of trouble with disk parttioner on the ubuntu cd's in the last few years and always use gparted prior10:52
thorwil(3rd attempt because i had to find out that mythbuntu only succeeds in installing grub-efi, if it can install updates thanks to a network connection!)10:52
rileypyou can install without network but its a painfull process10:53
thorwilthanks for your attention. lunch, bbiab10:54
superm1dekarl: oh really?  are you modifying stuff on mythweb then for your build?14:43
tgm4883superm1, there's been some different bugs on mythweb being broken in 0.25. We need to do some testing on that15:53
superm1tgm4883: on fresh installs?18:44
superm1or upgrades18:44
superm1really need to figure out who and how these are breaking18:44
superm1because i haven't experienced it at all onn my stuff18:44
DarthFrogHi.  How do I do a database schema upgrade?  My frontend desktop (Precise) won't connect to my backend (Lucid).  The backend machine has the mythbuntu-repos installed and is upto date (well, apt-get says it is) on 0.24.19:05
DarthFrogThe frontend says the database schema is quite a few versions out of date.19:06
rhpot1991DarthFrog: precise comes with 0.2519:09
DarthFrogOh.  I didn't realise that 0.25 has been released.19:16
rhpot1991not yet19:16
rhpot1991soonish, should be right around precise release19:16
DarthFrogNuisance.  Can it be downgraded to 0.24?19:16
rhpot1991tgm4883: does mythbuntu-repos have old version for precise ^19:17
tgm4883rhpot1991, nope19:17
tgm4883it shouldn't anyway19:17
rhpot1991DarthFrog: I don't imagine you have a ppa?19:17
DarthFrogMy own?  No.19:17
rhpot1991I'd just push the latest 0.24 to my ppa and build for precise and run that for the time being19:18
tgm4883rhpot1991, https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.24?field.series_filter=precise19:18
Zinn[launchpad.net] 0.24 : “Mythbuntu Developers” team19:18
tgm4883it's there, but the builds are from Feb 13th19:18
tgm4883and there won't be any newer builds for precise for the 0.24 branch19:18
rhpot1991or use that19:19
rhpot1991or upgrade everything19:19
DarthFrogtgm4883:  Tnx.  I'll upgrade both backend machines to Precise once it's released.  I dare not now; my wife knows where I sleep! :-)19:19
rhpot1991DarthFrog: I recommend upgrading on weekends too :)19:20
DarthFrogIf she loses access to her "Mythbusters" collection, I'm doomed! :-)19:20
DarthFrogHmm.  I install libmyth-0.24-0 from that ppa; it rips out the current MythTV stuff.  I then try to install mythtv and it wants to rip out libmyth-0.24.0 and replace it with 0.25.  AFAICT, libmyth-0.24-0 is the only package in that ppa.19:35
superm1you have to tell it to install particular versions of stuff19:36
superm1using the = and a version number if you want to go that route19:36
superm1and then use apt pinning to keep it in place19:36
superm10.25 just hit RC, so it's super close to release right now anyway19:36
superm1i would say backup your DB, bite the bullet and upgrade this weekend19:37
DarthFrogsuperm1: Don't want 0.25.  Want 0.2419:37
superm1if it works, great, if you hit a snag, report it, revert etc19:37
superm1yeah i'm saying it's going to be super hard to do 0.24 in precise unless you do that apt pinning and tell apt to install specific versions of all the packages19:37
rhpot1991DarthFrog: that or install 11.10 on that frontend19:38
rhpot1991if you really don't want 0.25 that is prob easier19:38
DarthFrogI have 11.10 also installed but it's eating itself. :-(  Not impressed with Oneiric, not at all.19:39
DarthFrogGuess I'll install Oneiric in a virtualbox VM and run 0.24 there.19:39
DarthFrogMythbuntu switching to LTS only releases is a smart move, IMHO.19:43
DarthFrogOK, got it working in a Lucid VM. :-)20:03
DarthFrogThanks for your help, folks.  It's greatly appreciated.20:04
hpeteri've updated to 0.25 and works fine so far except tv-guide-data22:08
hpetertill now i ran /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --file 1 /home/ubuntu/xmltv-data/data.xml22:08
hpeterbut now i get22:09
hpeterBoolean type options do not accept values:22:09
hpeter    --file22:09
hpeterReceived '1' but unassociated arguments have not been enabled22:09
hpeterany idea what's wrong?22:12
superm1probably syntax changed?22:12
superm1i think you additionally an --xmlfile after the 122:13
hpeterhmm getting the same error22:17
superm1check in #mythtv-users then, hopefully you'll find someone who know's it's syntax better22:27
hpetersuperm1: thanx22:38
dekarlsuperm1: nope, I'm only modifying the main mythtv source code23:10
dekarlhpeter: your command line is 0.24 syntax but you are running 0.25 :)23:13
hpeteri suspect  that ;)23:13
hpeterdo you know the correct 0.25 syntax?23:14
dekarlsomething like mfdb --file --xmlfile <the filename> --sourceid <the id of the video source => 1>23:15
