qwebirc41109I have installed the latest mythbuntu, but I seem to have several issues. Which logs and command outputs would be most useful troubleshooting?15:55
rhpot1991qwebirc41109: depends on the issues16:01
DarthFrogHi folks,  Mythbuntu Control Centre has set the repos to Quantal.  Is this correct (I am running Quantal)?  Or should I set the source to Precise?17:08
tgm4883DarthFrog, um. If you are running Quantal, why wouldn't you want the repos set to Quantal?17:08
DarthFrogtgm4883:  Because I'm getting errors and Mythtbuntu.org says it only supports LTS from now on.17:10
tgm4883DarthFrog, link?17:10
DarthFrogErrors when I try to run "apt-get dist-upgrade", that is.17:10
tgm4883DarthFrog, the reason I ask, is I'm about fixing things if they are unclear17:10
tgm4883and Mythbuntu.org shouldn't say it supports only LTS releases from now on. It should say we only release ISOs for LTS releases17:11
tgm4883DarthFrog, so to answer your last question, it should be Quantal, and please pastebin the errors17:11
DarthFrog!pastebin17:12
Zinnwhen pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel.  Then please post the link in the channel.17:12

DarthFrogtgm4883:  Ah, I think I misunderstood the announcement then, about moving to LTS.  I thought that was an excellent move, BTW.17:14
tgm4883DarthFrog, we agree :)17:16
tgm4883DarthFrog, you can safely ignore that error17:16
tgm4883DarthFrog, I had forgotten about that issue, will fix17:17
DarthFrogyeah, but that error screws up my update script.17:17
tgm4883ah17:17
DarthFrogShould I just remove that repo?17:17
tgm4883well let me see if I can fix that easily17:17
DarthFrogtgm4883:  Did you get it fixed?17:37
DarthFrogBefore I go spend $500, could anyone tell me if the Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212 works well with Mythbuntu?18:02
Shadow__X500? where are you buying it18:06
Shadow__XDarthFrog: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HD-PVR18:07
DarthFrogShadow__X:  I'll be buying 2 and a Shaw HD terminal.18:07
DarthFrogShadow__X:  Yeah, I read that page.  I was hoping to talk to someone who's actually doing what I want to do. :-)18:08
Shadow__Xwhat is that exactly18:08
DarthFrogSet up two Shaw HD terminals (Motorola DCX3200-M) with two Hauppauge 1212 units into MythTV 0.26 (Mythbuntu).18:10
Shadow__Xok well first you can look at setting one up18:10
Shadow__Xas long as the terminal outputs component i am not seeing what might be the problem? unless, you are trying to change channels on both of them using one firewire connection. Also, there is a good chance no one has tried your setup before and you might need to be the first and try it out yourself18:11
DarthFrogDo you happen to know how well the IR Blaster on the 1212 works?  I've been nothing but frustrated trying to get a Command IR to work consistently.18:12
Shadow__Xamazon has the 1212 for 170 btw18:12
DarthFrogI can get it locally for CDN$149.18:13
Shadow__Xi do not personally have one but it seems like there are people who do use them to change channels18:13
Shadow__Xwell thats good18:13
DarthFroghttp://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/hauppauge-hauppauge-wintv-hdpvr-video-recorder-1219-1219/10107259.aspx18:13
Shadow__Xi have used firewire to change channels and record off of my box ( i realize that changing channels may or may not work for you18:14
DarthFrogThe 1219 has both English and French manuals.18:14
DarthFrogYou're lucky.  Shaw is rather anal about such things.  Firewire is locked out and everything is encrytped.18:15
Shadow__Xwell are there firwire ports? you could possible try to change channels through firewire at leat18:15
DarthFrogThe @#(& are implementing a new guide system for the HD terminals.  They will be changing the channel mappings from what Schedules Direct reports.18:16
Shadow__Xare you using this for the ir blaster http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Using_an_IR_Blaster_with_MythTV#Configuring_Myth_Backend18:16
DarthFrogThe 1212 comes with its own ir blaster.18:17
Shadow__Xdid you look at the link i sent you? its about setting up the blaster18:17
Shadow__Xyou said you were having trouble with the blaster18:17
DarthFroghttp://www.commandir.com/content/view/19/31/18:17
DarthFrogis the one I've tried to use.  It works properly (i.e. the set-top box changes channels properly) about 85% of the time.18:18
Shadow__Xtry what i linked to you18:18
Shadow__Xthere is a link to a channel change script18:19
DarthFrogThanks, but I've given up on it.  The output from the digital terminals (not HD terminals) was connected to Hauppauge PVR-150 cards.  They no longer seem to work with Myth so I'm replacing them with the Hauppauge HD-PVRs.18:20
Shadow__Xi would look to see what is the problem18:21
DarthFrogWe've re-written the channel change script.18:21
DarthFrogThe problem seems to be the ivtv drivers.18:21
DarthFrogThey seem to be orphaned.18:21
Shadow__Xwell digital is all around better18:21
DarthFrogYes, I agree digital is better.18:22
DarthFroghowever I have 4 digital terminals and a whole bunch of Hauppauge 350s, 500s, 250s and 150s that are now obsolete.18:23
Shadow__Xsince you are getting the hdpvr local you could always try it and if you dont like it return it18:23
Shadow__Xi have some pentium 3's that are now obsolete18:23
DarthFrog:-)18:24
DarthFrogShadow__X:  Here's the modified change channels script we run:18:37
DarthFroghttp://pastebin.com/adFdYMiX18:37
DarthFrogit adds locking.18:37
Shadow__Xwhy would you want to lock it?18:37
DarthFrogBecause things wouldn't work with out it.  Commands to set-top boxes were being dropped.18:38
tgm4883DarthFrog, sorry, got pulled into a meeting18:38
tgm4883doing it now18:39
Shadow__Xoh, i really don't know anything about lirc stuff. I only use the mce remotes and thats it18:39
DarthFrogtgm4883:  No problem.  Thanks for getting back to it.18:39
tgm4883DarthFrog, bah, looks like it will take 7 hours to fix :/18:39
DarthFrogtgm4883: Ouch!!!!18:39
tgm4883DarthFrog, basically, that PPA doesn't get a lot of updates pushed to it. So what is happening is nothing is in it for Quantal yet, so techncially, the PPA doesn't exist18:40
DarthFrogOK, then I'll just delete the repo. :-)18:40
tgm4883I just pushed something to it, but it's queued to build in 7 hours18:40
tgm4883so yea, you can disable the repo or wait18:41
Shadow__Xwhich repo18:41
DarthFrogWell, I'll wait then.  I won't be doing a dist-upgrade again till tomorrow.18:41
DarthFrogShadow__X:  mythbuntu-testing-quantal18:41
Shadow__Xah ok18:41
Shadow__Xbtw is live streaming on .25.3 supposed to work at all resolutions? I am getting blocky video in most resolutions18:42
tgm4883DarthFrog, I would expect it to be fixed by then :)18:45
tgm4883Shadow__X, unsure, I don't use 0.25.3 or HLS18:45
Shadow__Xhmm, i would upgrade to .26 but it seems like the windows builds are behind and the machine i was going to do my own builds isnt working with me18:53

Shadow__Xone of my frontends is not staying suspended. It goes into suspend but then turns right back on. This started happening when i upgraded to 12.0422:39
