[05:11] <tgm4883_> doing an emergency upgrade to an SSD drive on my backend :(
[05:18] <tgm4883_> rhpot1991, superm1 any super secret ideas to get data from a drive that won't spin up?
[05:20] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_: put it in the freezer
[05:20] <tgm4883_> rhpot1991, I've thought about that
[05:20] <tgm4883_> can i Just wrap it in saran wrap?
[05:20] <rhpot1991> I think thats normally for a bad head and not for lack of spinning though
[05:21] <rhpot1991> I think I ziplock baggied it to keep moisture out
[05:21] <tgm4883_> I've heard for stuck bearings
[05:21]  * tgm4883_ doesn't have ziplocks :/
[05:21] <rhpot1991> http://lifehacker.com/5515337/save-a-failed-hard-drive-in-your-freezer-redux
[05:22] <rhpot1991> tgm4883: go get some?
[05:22] <rhpot1991> or don't try to save data until you do
[05:22] <tgm4883_> yea I'm going to see if I have a recent DB backup
[05:22] <tgm4883_> otherwise I'll go get some
[05:23] <rhpot1991> I normally just go to my last db backup and don't worry about the recordings
[05:23] <tgm4883_> rhpot1991, I think my last db backup is from a long time ago :/
[05:24] <tgm4883_> all my recordings are on my NAS, so they are fine
[05:24] <rhpot1991> I don't remember fzero being this hard
[05:25] <tgm4883_> \o/
[05:25] <tgm4883_> mythconverg-1307-20130216074601.sql.gz
[05:25] <tgm4883_> that will work for me :)
[05:26] <superm1> yeah freezer is the only trick i know of
[05:27] <superm1> emergency upgrade... don't like the sounds of that
[05:27] <rhpot1991> shark attacks are good for you
[05:27] <rhpot1991> I should probably make things go to my nas
[05:27] <rhpot1991> before I have to deal with all of that again
[05:27] <tgm4883_> superm1, yea, when I disconnected this morning at 10:15, it's because my backend died
[05:28] <tgm4883_> my backend had my ZNC on it
[05:28] <superm1> coincidentally shortly after you stopped using bip
[05:28] <superm1> i think it's a sign
[05:28] <tgm4883_> heh
[05:28] <tgm4883_> probably
[05:28] <tgm4883_> TO THE CLOUD!
[05:28] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_: I can get ZNC on my server
[05:28] <tgm4883_> rhpot1991, I think there is a ZNC module for my NAS
[05:29] <tgm4883_> I'll say one thing, this is much faster with and SSD :)
[05:29] <rhpot1991> ya, I've gone to ssd in all of my boxes
[05:30] <rhpot1991> small ones in my mythtv related ones, but does the job
[05:30] <superm1> how much faster will SSD die than HDD is my only worry with going SSD
[05:30] <superm1> especially with something running all the time like a backend?
[05:30] <tgm4883_> superm1, 100,000 writes
[05:30] <rhpot1991> having a hard time getting all of my /home onto my the ssd in my main box though
[05:30] <rhpot1991> steam is like 30gb and its only a 120gb drive
[05:30] <tgm4883_> superm1, I'm going to disable logging to file, so the only thing doing a bunch of writes will be the DB
[05:31] <tgm4883_> I figure 100,000 writes will get me to the next point I'll want to upgrade anyway
[05:33] <rhpot1991> superm1: I paid 66 for 2 30gb ones
[05:33] <rhpot1991> disposable at that price
[05:33] <superm1> true
[05:33] <rhpot1991> superm1: you are a huge fan of assasin's creed right?
[05:33] <rhpot1991> ubisoft wii u games 30% off and I get some percentage back from nintendo
[05:33] <rhpot1991> AC3 is one of them
[05:34] <superm1> rhpot1991: yeah
[05:34] <superm1> AC3 is great
[05:34] <rhpot1991> worth $42?
[05:35] <superm1> well only if you're gonna play it soon
[05:35] <rhpot1991> or should I wait and find it cheaper later
[05:35] <superm1> given you have a back log already
[05:35] <rhpot1991> yep
[05:35] <rhpot1991> on top of all of the ones I got for giftmas/birthday
[14:07] <dmfrey> mytharchive fails because M2VRequantiser can't be found.  What is M2VRequantiser and where can I find it?
[14:51] <dmfrey> never mind, i found it
[15:49] <superm1> dmfrey: what version were you on that you got the error
[15:49] <superm1> and how was it erroring?
[15:49] <superm1> an APT error (i hope not... if so we need to get m2vrequantiser in the PPA I guess)
[15:54] <dmfrey> superm1, i am on .26 running on 12.04
[15:54] <superm1> and where did it error?
[15:54] <superm1> apt updates?
[15:54] <dmfrey> it is not available in any repo at this point
[15:55] <dmfrey> when trying to run M2VRequantiser
[15:55] <dmfrey> all updates are applied
[15:55] <dmfrey> had to download source and build
[15:55] <dmfrey> it is running now, so will see how it goes
[15:56] <dmfrey> i am also getting weird permission errors in the mytharchive/temp dir
[15:56] <superm1> so the apt update complained?
[15:56] <dmfrey> no
[15:56] <dmfrey> it is not found anywhere in apt to install
[15:56] <superm1> oh when running mytharchive it complained?
[15:56] <dmfrey> yes
[15:56] <dmfrey> said command not found
[15:56] <superm1> i'm asking because made a change yesterday that it's a recommends
[15:56] <superm1> but it shouldn't have made apt errors
[15:56] <dmfrey> and tried searching the system to find it but nothing was on there
[15:56] <superm1> just coincidental that you were mentioning it missing then
[15:57] <superm1> it's available in quantal and raring
[15:57] <dmfrey> i need to run to a hockey game, i will be back later and can discuss it then
[15:57] <dmfrey> oh, ok, i haven't upgraded to them yet
[15:57] <superm1> i'll upload it to our PPA for 0.26 and if it builds right request a backport
[21:10] <kmentat> Has anyone had any problems with 0-byte recordings?
[21:11] <kmentat> I just set up my Mythbuntu 12.04 system and it's pulling empty files from my HVR-950Q.
[21:27] <gedakc> kmentat:  Have you tried watching tv live through mythtv to confirm the TV-capture card is working?
[23:50] <kichigai> Oops, I guess I disappeared for too long. Does anyone know about MythTV making 0-byte recordings? I'm using a Hauppauge HVR-950Q with a Core 2 Duo, running Mythbuntu 12.04 64-bit in a fairly stock set-up (it's a fresh install, but I had to compile a new media_build to get the card to work).
[23:51] <kichigai> Live TV works fine, the scheduler works fine, I will be told that a recording is in progress when it should be, it's just recordings.
[23:58] <kichigai> This http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1687846&page=8 seems to suggest it may be kernel related, so I'm custom baking a 3.79, but I'm wondering if there are any other possibilities I should be looking out for, just in case
[23:59] <kichigai> Err, 3.7.9, not 3.79.
