[00:37] <somethinginteres> hi all, somehow the mythbuntu repo has decided to download from the v0.26 branch, despite me setting it to download 0.25. Can anyone tell me a safe and proper way to downgrade to mythtv v0.25?
[16:11] <dr01dy> when I setup my infrared in MythUbuntu Control Centre do I need to add something for the IR to work in the External Channel Changer part in Mythtv-Setup
[16:12] <dr01dy> to tell the device I want to channel up channel down
[21:12] <skd5aner> hey, any challenges with mythtv on 12.10?  I compile from source
[21:20] <superm1> skd5aner: no there shouldn't be
[21:20] <skd5aner> superm1: ok, thanks... There's some stuff in the newer kernel that I'm hoping will address some things I've seen with the HD-PVR
[21:21] <superm1> we do have pre built packages though if you'd be interested for the 0.26 and 0.27.x series on our PPA's for 12.10 too
[21:21] <superm1> skd5aner: you should be able to pull the kernel from 12.10 onto a 12.04 box though too potentially
[21:21] <superm1> without having to use the rest of the userspace
[21:21] <skd5aner> superm1: yea, I've just always done it the hard way since 2003 and sometimes I like to patch and test :)
[21:21] <skd5aner> superm1: ah, didn't really think about doing that
[21:22] <skd5aner> superm1: but, I already started the upgrade, heh
[21:22] <superm1> matter of fact 12.04.2 will be pulling in 12.10 kernel here in a few months too, so if 12.10 kernel fixes your situation then in a couple of months when 12.04.2 gets releases you could just swithc to the released kernel to stay on that track
[21:22] <superm1> oh ok :)
[21:22] <skd5aner> but, thanks for the info...
[21:22] <skd5aner> that'll be helpful for others!
[21:23] <skd5aner> I'll report back if I run into any unexpected issues - 95% of upgrades have gone fairly smoothly for me
[21:23] <superm1> sure.  if you hit some other problems with your upgrade and myth feel free to shout out, there could be some bugs since it's not a fairly well tested upgrade path at this point
[21:23] <skd5aner> the last one was actually the most difficult for some reason
[21:23] <superm1> in general we're gonna try to keep people on LTS if we can supplementing them with those backport kernels for situations like this
[21:24] <skd5aner> makes sense, so long as the critical fixes get backported
[21:24] <skd5aner> you guys do good work
[21:24] <skd5aner> and I'm glad to see the mythbuntu team has kept the momentum going over the last several years unlike some of hte other distros
[21:26] <superm1> thanks! hopefully keeps up
[23:40] <skd5aner> ok, well... upgrade went well, except for I told it to keep my existing gdm conf file, however some of hte options have changed, and I now want to use the packagers version of the conf
[23:40] <skd5aner> how can I get that installed now, after the fact
