qwebirc97069Morning all03:54
qwebirc97069I have mythtv .25 fixes installed from the standard Ubuntu repos on a Mint Mate 14 x64 setup03:55
qwebirc97069I want to try .26 fixes and to this end installed mythbuntu-control-centre (MCC)03:55
qwebirc97069however using MCC gives me a Exception in captureState of plugin Repositories error at startup03:56
qwebirc97069followed by a disabling plugins message03:57
qwebirc97069running MCC from the command line......03:57
tgm4883qwebirc97069, you want to enable https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/0.2603:57
tgm4883qwebirc97069, it's failing because you are using mint03:57
qwebirc97069OK, it'd be useful if this was flagged on the http://www.mythbuntu.org/home/news known issues page?04:01
tgm4883qwebirc97069, that it doesn't work with mint? I think that would be kinda obvious04:01
qwebirc97069Why would that be obvious?04:01
tgm4883because mint != ubuntu?04:02
qwebirc97069Mint mate 14 is based on Ub 12.1004:02
tgm4883qwebirc97069, when you do 'lsb_release -a' in the terminal, what does it say04:02
tgm4883it should say 12.10 or something like that04:03
tgm4883possibly quantal04:03
qwebirc97069It says04:03
qwebirc97069no lsb modules avail04:04
qwebirc97069linuxmint04:04
tgm4883heh, even better04:04
tgm4883so when I query the distro in python, it says whatever mistress that mint is named after04:04
qwebirc97069Notwithstanding it would still be useful to flag this on the known issues page,04:05
tgm4883qwebirc97069, I still don't see why Mint failing to report it is 12.10 is a Mythbuntu issue04:05
tgm4883granted, i'm willing to fix the issue04:05
qwebirc97069Thanks04:05
tgm4883and it will likely be fixed for 13.1004:05
qwebirc97069I accept it's a Mint issue but still making life easier for users means we all win?04:06
qwebirc97069And mint has had great pickup over the last 12 months04:06
qwebirc97069I switched from Fedora as I couldn't live with Gnome 304:06
qwebirc97069Anyway thanks for the info and I'll install the repo manually04:07
DarthFrogGood day folks.18:44
DarthFrogHow do I enable remote connections to my Myth MySql datatbase without using mythbuntu-control-centre? (Cuz it crashes with a python/aptdaemon bug).  I've set the connection key to 0000 in mythtv-setup on the remote backend but am still getting connection refused (i.e. telnet 192.168.1.100 3306)18:46
tgm4883DarthFrog, you probably need to set mysql to accept connections on the regular interface (not localhost)18:47
DarthFrogThanks, I'll try that.18:48
tgm4883DarthFrog, http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Tune_MySQL18:48
tgm4883DarthFrog, if you just do the bind_address part of that, it should work18:48
DarthFrogtgm4883:  It seems to have, thanks.18:54
DarthFrogAt least now I get a database schema inconsistency message. :-)18:54
DarthFrogthat's when running mythfrontend.  But using mythbuntu-control-centre, the mysql test connection still fails. :-(18:56
tgm4883DarthFrog, did you do an upgrade?18:56
DarthFrogI'm running 0.27 on the backend.  Currently 0.25 on the frontend.  But i can't upgrade the frontend to 0.27 cuz when I click on the Apply button after changing repos, it bitches about mysql not being properly filled out.18:58
tgm4883wonky18:58
tgm4883personally, I've never liked the mysql tab in MCC18:58
DarthFrogI'm beginning to despise MCC.18:58
DarthFrog2013-03-14 11:58:26.229655 E [4004] Python Database Connection Database schema mismatch: we speak 1299 but database speaks 131018:59
tgm4883DarthFrog, IIRC it doesn't like 000018:59
tgm4883superm1, ^18:59
DarthFrogThat seems a bad behaviour.  it's not that the system can't connect, but the mismatch prevents MCC from doing anything about it.  MCC just gives a red X without any details or opportunities to solve problems.19:03
DarthFrogIt should at least offer an error log.19:03
DarthFrogAnd since it blocks MCC from doing anything else, I can't use MCC to update the client to the correct version (which is what my end goal was to start with).19:04
DarthFrogOh flaming hell, now I can't even do it manually!19:06
ZinnDarthFrog: Please watch your language.19:06
DarthFroglibmyth-0.27-0 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17) but 2.15-0ubuntu20 is to be installed19:06
DarthFrog                  Depends: libfftw3-double3 but it is not installable19:06
DarthFrog                  Depends: libfftw3-single3 but it is not installable19:06
DarthFrogOops, PEBKAC!  :-)  In the immortal words of Emily Litella, "Nevermind!"19:07
DarthFrogIt does help if I install the packages intended for Quantal, rather than Raring. :-)  Ready, Fire, Aim!19:09
DarthFrogGack!  The IPv4 address in mythtv-setup is immutable in Raring. :-(19:19
tgm4883DarthFrog, that doesn't seem good19:22
tgm4883DarthFrog, let me test that19:22
DarthFrogit's kinda showstopper.19:22
tgm4883DarthFrog, using 0.27?19:22
DarthFrogyes19:22
tgm4883Ubuntu+mythtv?19:22
DarthFrogDid a dist-upgrade today.19:22
DarthFrogkubuntu19:23
tgm4883ok, I've got a Ubuntu 13.04 install, let me boot it19:23
tgm4883this is just in step 1 of mythtv-setup?19:23
DarthFrogYes.19:23
tgm4883ok sec19:23
DarthFrogFirst field, first page.19:23
DarthFrogI could change the master backend address, but tnot the local address.19:23
tgm4883DarthFrog, ok. Installing now19:25
tgm4883DarthFrog, can you not type in the field at all, or is the info not saved?19:30
DarthFrogThe field is immutable.  It does drop down a box with 127.0.0.1 as if it were offering a pick list.  But I cannot edit or change anything.   It issues a haughty laugh in my general direction.19:32
tgm48830.26 seems fine. Let me update to 0.2719:33
tgm4883actually, let me grab kubuntu first19:34
tgm4883kubuntu seems fine, upgrading to 0.2719:43
tgm4883DarthFrog, seems it is by design, and also probably a bug19:52
DarthFrogOK, that's odd.  the IPv6 drop-down picklist offers addresses for localhost (::1), and the IPv6 addresses on my ethernet card and VirtualBox virtual NIC.19:52
DarthFrogtgm4883:  It would seem that it's not picking up the addresses from my NICs.19:53
tgm4883DarthFrog, yea, it's suppose to list valid IP addresses19:53
DarthFrogOK, should I file a bug report?19:54
DarthFrogIt's also blocking a remote mythtfrontend connection.19:54
DarthFrogtgm4883: BTW, did it behave properly with 0.27 in Quantal/Precise?19:56
tgm4883DarthFrog, yea file a bug on it. I'm looking at the code, but I only know python so probably won't be much help19:56
* tgm4883 shrugs19:56
DarthFrogor whatever you're running?19:56
tgm4883i'm running 0.26 ;)19:56
DarthFrogI see. :-)19:56
DarthFrogI'm trying to get my Hauppague HD-PVRs working, so I wanted the latest 'n greatest.19:57
DarthFrogSo far, it's working great. :-)19:57
superm1DarthFrog: did you not upgrade libmyth-python20:00
DarthFrogsuperm1: I did a dist-upgrade today.20:00
superm1DarthFrog: can you compare the libmyth-python version with the mythtv-common version then? make sure it didn't get restricticed from the upgrade for whatever reason20:01
superm1(unresolvable deps or something)20:01
DarthFrogsuperm1:  They're both 0.27-020:05
DarthFroglibmyth-python      2:0.27.0~maste all            A python library to access some MythTV feat20:05
DarthFrog mythtv-common       2:0.27.0~maste amd64          Personal video recorder application (common20:05
superm1interesting20:09
superm1well it could be a bug in mythtv 0.27 then, because we are just reusing htat API20:09
DarthFrogsuperm1:  It seems to be ignoring valid IPv4 addresses.20:10
DarthFrogWorks for IPv6 though.20:10
superm1oh really, then that's more peculiar20:10
tgm4883superm1, I'm pinging wagnerrp on it, he might know of a bug in 0.2720:11
tgm4883superm1, mythtv-setup is ignoring valid IPv4 addresses it seems20:11
superm1if you can reproduce using http://paste.ubuntu.com/5614656/20:13
superm1then it's certainly a bug in mythtv bindings20:13
DarthFrogsuperm1: Your script didn't work.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5614685/20:20
tgm4883DarthFrog, on line 3, take out 'self, '20:22
DarthFrogReturns nothing.20:23
superm1oops it was lifted from some other code20:24
tgm4883DarthFrog, try making line 2020:24
tgm4883print do_connection_test('0000')20:24
superm1yeah what tgm4883 said20:24
DarthFrogReturns "None".20:25
tgm4883I think it worked then20:25
tgm4883It would return false or an error string if it failed20:26
tgm4883superm1, it doesn't return on success?20:26
tgm4883superm1, after line 16, should it return True?20:27
DarthFrogI've tried setting the localhost address to 192.168.1.100 in /etc/hosts with no results.20:27
=== yuki-onna_ is now known as yuki-onna
=== stuartm_ is now known as stuartm
DarthFrogWoo hoo, a bug-fix release of aptdaemon that is supposed to fix the problem with mythbuntu-control-centre in Raring. :-)21:59
DarthFrogNot in the repos yet, darn it.22:00
