| rhpot1991 | tmkt: install libavformat-extra-53 | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| tmkt | yeah | 00:21 |
| tmkt | have that | 00:21 |
| tmkt | ending up modifying the config to use handbrake | 00:22 |
| gedakc | ubuntuaddicted: Can you successfully run a command in a terminal such as "sudo ls"? | 00:51 |
| gedakc | The reason I ask is that I once modified /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv and made a syntax error. After that sudo failed to work. | 00:52 |
| gedakc | To fix it I had to boot from a live CD, mount the root file system, and then fix my mistake in /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv. | 00:55 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i've never messed with /etc/sudoers so that's not the issue | 01:00 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it has to be something with the way mythbuntu was installed. I first installed ubuntu 12.04 minimal, then installed mythbuntu-desktop | 01:01 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i could sudo -i just fine. the problem was that the dialog was asking for the root password which there was never one made so it failed. | 01:02 |
| gedakc | Is there a reason you started with ubuntu 12.04 minimal, instead of using the mythbuntu 12.04 distro? | 01:19 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, i was trying to save on overhead as this is a really old machine. Dell Dimension 8200 with only 256MB RAM | 01:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, not sure if I achieved what I wanted since I just install mythbuntu-desktop after all anyway | 01:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, once I get everything working again I will make it so the machine doesn't boot into any window manager, just command line and I admin it over ssh or thru tty1 | 01:25 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it's my main mythtv backend | 01:26 |
| gedakc | Ah, I see. That's not a lot of RAM to run a GUI, though at least mythbuntu uses xfce4 which is comparatively light on resources. | 01:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, yeah, I don't need the GUI since it's just a backend | 01:28 |
| gedakc | Can the backend be configured without a GUI? I've always used the GUI so I'm unaware of if there are other alternatives. | 01:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | im using a GUI to configure the backend but after it's all setup I will make it so that it only boots to a command line and no window-manager | 01:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, you have to have X installed and you can forward the X-server over SSH if you wanted to | 01:33 |
| gedakc | ubuntuaddicted: You might try setting a root password to see if that works. | 01:43 |
| gedakc | I think you would use something like "sudo passwd root" to do that. | 01:45 |
| gedakc | Please note that I am not recommending you do that. It's just something you might consider. | 01:45 |
| ubuntuaddicted | that's what the end solution was, yes | 01:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | gedakc, i don't know if that was the intended result with his script but it is what it is | 01:47 |
| ubuntuaddicted | i can't change those scripts, well I could if I understand all that but I don't | 01:47 |
| rhpot1991 | tmkt: care to email me the handbrake config you are using? | 01:48 |
| gedakc | Sometimes you just want to get it working. I know that feeling. I recently upgraded from Mythbuntu 11.04 to 12.04 and discovered some new problems to work around. | 01:49 |
| ubuntuaddicted | crap, it just failed at upgrading the database schema. here's the log: http://pastebin.com/s6UXnqRa | 01:59 |
| tmkt | rhpot1991: sure | 02:49 |
| tmkt | just changed the system line to this | 02:49 |
| tmkt | system("HandBrakeCLI -i \'$self->{_inputFile}\' -o \'$self->{_outputFile}$self->{_extension}\' --preset iPad") | 02:49 |
| tmkt | going to work on making the output filename a little prettier tomorrow though | 02:49 |
| tmkt | WKBW-HD-Modern_Family-Bad_Hair_Day-20130221020000.m4v probably just down to Modern_Family-Bad_Hair_Day.m4v | 02:50 |
| tmkt | most annoying thing so far for me with mythbuntu is my remote - i get it working..the next upgrade breaks it | 02:55 |
| tmkt | finally just gave up and use my iphone as my remote | 02:56 |
| === yuki-onna_ is now known as yuki-onna | ||
| DaveInTO | looks like i need to change that a bit..its generating 6 channel audio | 13:03 |
| DaveInTO | i think stereo should be plenty | 13:03 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveInTO: -ac 2 I think | 13:18 |
| DaveInTO | yeah..was using iPad preset | 13:24 |
| DaveInTO | so looks like i'll have to do my own handbrake command line | 13:24 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveInTO: can try pulling the latest config from here | 13:28 |
| DaveInTO | no clue why my avconv doesn't have faac compiled in it | 13:28 |
| rhpot1991 | joined #ubuntu-mythtv | 13:28 |
| rhpot1991 | grrr | 13:28 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.baablogic.net/mythexport/ | 13:29 |
| DaveInTO | rhpot1991: i switched from avconv to handbrake | 13:29 |
| rhpot1991 | are you missing faac? | 13:29 |
| DaveInTO | yeah..tmkt up above was me just at home | 13:29 |
| rhpot1991 | ah ok | 13:29 |
| rhpot1991 | ya you need medibuntu to fix that normally | 13:29 |
| rhpot1991 | didn't help? | 13:30 |
| DaveInTO | yeah.i have medibuntu | 13:30 |
| DaveInTO | no go | 13:30 |
| rhpot1991 | did a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 13:30 |
| DaveInTO | yup | 13:30 |
| rhpot1991 | hmmm I'll poke at it and let you know whats up | 13:30 |
| DaveInTO | did a purge of libav-tools | 13:31 |
| DaveInTO | and reinstalled that | 13:31 |
| rhpot1991 | re remote, are you customizing configs? | 13:31 |
| DaveInTO | and still no go | 13:31 |
| rhpot1991 | and brb tea | 13:31 |
| rhpot1991 | back | 13:38 |
| DaveInTO | so...if i fail with avconv..probably going to stick with handbrake | 13:39 |
| rhpot1991 | avconv worked before, mediabuntu might be behind in version numbers now or something | 13:42 |
| rhpot1991 | I'll ping you later after I get a chance to look at it | 13:43 |
| rhpot1991 | but your remote, I might be able to help with that some | 13:43 |
| DaveInTO | ok | 13:45 |
| DaveInTO | hvr-1600 | 13:48 |
| DaveInTO | every time there is an upgrade i have to make a bunch of changes grey remote... | 13:48 |
| DaveInTO | i've given up and just use the iphone or the keyboard connected to the box | 13:48 |
| rhpot1991 | DaveInTO: check /etc/lirc | 13:55 |
| rhpot1991 | see if the .old files contain your changes | 13:55 |
| DaveInTO | yeah..i get it working..but then the keys aren't all mapped the same as before...like left/right/up/down will work..nmbers will work but play and pause aren't working | 14:03 |
| DaveInTO | so just a matter of creating a good file i guess | 14:03 |
