[18:29] <qwebirc12226> What is the most popular / easiest to setup hardware for remotes these days?  I do have a serial port IR receiver and a harmony one I"d like to use, either that or buy a usb receiver...  Just looking for recomendations
[18:57] <exothermc> If I have a barebones command line only install of ubuntu, can I simply add some more sources, and apt-get install the final system?
[19:04] <Shadow__X> qwebirc12226: i would checkout mythtv wiki

[19:04] <Shadow__X> exothermc: to setup myth backend you need X
[19:04] <Shadow__X> i think its supported through x tunneling but still you will need x
[19:07] <exothermc> Shadow__X: to set it up, or to install the needed packages?
[19:08] <exothermc> Shadow__X: I would assume the dependencies would bring X in as needed.
[19:12] <Shadow__X> well, it should be a dependency so itll instal it but you also need to set it up
[19:13] <exothermc> right so back to my initial question about sources and what package to install?
[19:23] <tgm4883> Shadow__X, setup should be handled by debconf and/or the packaging
[19:23] <tgm4883> exothermc, that would depend on what parts you want to install
[19:23] <tgm4883> if it's just the backend you want to install, and it's the only backend in  your network, then mythtv-backend-master
[19:26] <exothermc> tgm4883: and the sources are where?
[19:26] <tgm4883> exothermc, it's in the official ubuntu repos, although we usually recommend people update using the repos at https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.25
[19:26] <Zinn> [launchpad.net] 0.25 : “Mythbuntu Developers” team
[20:11] <Shadow__X> tgm4883: i should of been more specific i meant you still need X running to be able to run mythtv-setup
[20:18] <exothermc> Shadow__X: Thanks, but nothing at all to do with what I was asking.
[23:25] <n1md4> hello.  I've installed mythbuntu, and it's working well.  One thing, the scheduler is empty, just says unknown all over the place.
[23:26] <tgm4883> n1md4, do you have a guide data source?
[23:27] <n1md4> tgm4883: yes, from mythtv-setup -> video source setup -> I've got radiotimes (uk).
[23:28] <tgm4883> n1md4, hmm, IDK about radiotimes
[23:28] <tgm4883> n1md4, if that is actually giving you data, then it sounds like you need to put in the right XMLID for each channel
[23:29] <n1md4> There seems to be an issue with xmltv config.  mythtv-setup runs okay, but once i close and backend is restarted the xterm hangs at "XMLTV config file is: <path>"  and that's it.
[23:30] <n1md4> I've cancelled this in the past, have gone back, scanned for signals and watched away; but it was then that I had no listing.
[23:31] <n1md4> tv_grab_uk_rt just hogs 100% cpu
[23:52] <n1md4> Ah .... odd, seems to work now :\  ... not bad news, I guess.
