[13:16] <jussi> can someone give me a quick update on where we are with ubuntu tv?
[13:55] <popey> jussi, http://www.doadjustyourset.com/ is the best place to see the project status
[14:18] <jussi> thanks popey.
[14:32] <jussi> popey: is there a nightly ppa somewhere? I saw it mentioned in regard to ISO's in the task list (with your name on it...
[14:32] <popey> not yet
[14:32] <jussi> ok - when is it estimated it will come? and I jut have to compile in the meantime? or?
[15:35] <mhall119> jussi: bobweave is still working on the Nux port, having some issues getting local Unity dev environment setup
[16:40] <jussi> mhall119: argh, ok. Frstrating. How useable is the old unity2d stuff?
[16:43] <mhall119> jussi: it's demo-able, but it's only a demo
[16:43] <jussi> right.
[16:44] <mhall119> bobweaver has made it very easy to install the demo code from a PPA though
[16:44] <mhall119> but, it's not ready for livingroom use yet, if that's what you were after
[16:44] <jussi> mhall119: also, the actual "tv" part - is it done, part done or just "demo" ?
[16:44] <jussi> mhall119: yeah, Im after the living room bit :D
[16:44] <mhall119> jussi: it's all just "demo"
[16:44] <mhall119> jussi: I'm sure they'd welcome some help :)
[16:44] <tgm4883> i'd recommend mythtv
[16:45] <mhall119> course you would :P
[16:45] <jussi> mhall119: you remember my coding skills... right? :P
[16:45] <tgm4883> mhall119, being that for the DVR portion of Ubuntu TV, the only integrated backend will be MythTV, I think it's a good recommendation ;)
[16:50] <mhall119> me too
[16:57] <jussi> hrm, last time I tried mythtv it was a total mess to setup...
[16:57] <jussi> very frustrating
[16:57] <tgm4883> jussi, when was that?
[16:57] <cm-t> mhall119:  that's good news :)
[16:58] <cm-t> (g+ )
[16:58] <jussi> tgm4883: about a year ago
[16:58] <tgm4883> what country are you in?
[16:58] <jussi> finland
[16:58] <tgm4883> hmm
[16:58] <jussi> tgm4883: at least with mythbuntu it needed frontends and backends and all sorts or weirdness.
[16:59] <tgm4883> jussi, well that is true
[16:59] <tgm4883> you do need a frontend and a backend
[16:59] <tgm4883> although they can reside on the same machine
[16:59] <jussi> hrrm
[16:59] <tgm4883> I see that as a good thing, not a bad one
[16:59] <tgm4883> you don't agree?
[17:01] <jussi> tgm4883: if its painful to setup, then thats an issue
[17:01] <tgm4883> jussi, I disagree that it is painful to setup, but I'm not aware of the issues you were facing
[17:01] <tgm4883> if it was a hardware support issue, documentation, etc
[17:02] <jussi> tgm4883: it may be just that I dont understand how it all works, or I missed a step. I shall try again
[17:02] <jussi> tgm4883: is it easier just to grab a install to ubuntu, or better to grab the mythbuntu disc install?
[17:03] <tgm4883> jussi, the reason for the frontend/backend (client/server) setup, is so you can have a single mythtv server for recording, then have multiple frontends around your house feeding off the same server
[17:04] <jussi> tgm4883: yeah, I get that. However, in my  57m2 house, only one is needed.... ;)
[17:04] <tgm4883> jussi, either is just fine. If you do a Ubuntu install, I'd recommend grabbing mythbuntu-control-centre and configuring with that. You'll probably want to install XFCE though, as there is issues with Compiz and MythTV
[17:04] <tgm4883> (or just do a Mythbuntu install)
[17:05] <jussi> tgm4883: yeah, the machine in question already has kubuntu on it. hence my question :)
