[00:02] <rhpot1991> tmkt: install libavformat-extra-53
[00:21] <tmkt> yeah
[00:21] <tmkt> have that
[00:22] <tmkt> ending up modifying the config to use handbrake
[00:51] <gedakc> ubuntuaddicted:  Can you successfully run a command in a terminal such as "sudo ls"?
[00:52] <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.
[00:55] <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.
[01:00] <ubuntuaddicted> i've never messed with /etc/sudoers so that's not the issue
[01:01] <ubuntuaddicted> it has to be something with the way mythbuntu was installed. I first installed ubuntu 12.04 minimal, then installed mythbuntu-desktop
[01:02] <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.
[01:19] <gedakc> Is there a reason you started with ubuntu 12.04 minimal, instead of using the mythbuntu 12.04 distro?
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <ubuntuaddicted> it's my main mythtv backend
[01:27] <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.
[01:28] <ubuntuaddicted> gedakc, yeah, I don't need the GUI since it's just a backend
[01:30] <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.
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <ubuntuaddicted> gedakc, you have to have X installed and you can forward the X-server over SSH if you wanted to
[01:43] <gedakc> ubuntuaddicted:  You might try setting a root password to see if that works.
[01:45] <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.
[01:47] <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
[01:48] <rhpot1991> tmkt: care to email me the handbrake config you are using?
[01:49] <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.
[01:59] <ubuntuaddicted> crap, it just failed at upgrading the database schema. here's the log: http://pastebin.com/s6UXnqRa
[02:49] <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
[02:50] <tmkt> WKBW-HD-Modern_Family-Bad_Hair_Day-20130221020000.m4v probably just down to Modern_Family-Bad_Hair_Day.m4v
[02:55] <tmkt> most annoying thing so far for me with mythbuntu is my remote - i get it working..the next upgrade breaks it
[02:56] <tmkt> finally just gave up and use my iphone as my remote
[13:03] <DaveInTO> looks like i need to change that a bit..its generating 6 channel audio
[13:03] <DaveInTO> i think stereo should be plenty
[13:18] <rhpot1991> DaveInTO: -ac 2 I think
[13:24] <DaveInTO> yeah..was using iPad preset
[13:24] <DaveInTO> so looks like i'll have to do my own handbrake command line
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <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
[13:31] <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
[13:38] <rhpot1991> back
[13:39] <DaveInTO> so...if i fail with avconv..probably going to stick with handbrake
[13:42] <rhpot1991> avconv worked before, mediabuntu might be behind in version numbers now or something
[13:43] <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
[13:45] <DaveInTO> ok
[13:48] <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
[13:55] <rhpot1991> DaveInTO: check /etc/lirc
[13:55] <rhpot1991> see if the .old files contain your changes
[14:03] <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
[14:25] <dkeith> chris and jerry - no answers
[14:25] <dkeith> nm - please ignore
