[00:49] Hi, Just install Mythbuntu 12.04 and I have a Hauppauge 1950. When I select the capture card.. it is not detected and gettig an error. But I know that 1950 works because installed mplayer in Mythbuntu and I can tune in to NTSC channels. Any Help thanks. [01:13] Cron is constantly emailing me with this http://pastebin.com/Ztb0VyZV and am unsure what to do about it. Should i just comment out the cron? [02:03] if you don't use mythtv-status, just uninstall it [02:07] i do use mythtv-status though [02:07] i like having that info come up when i login through ssh [02:32] superm1: what should i do if i do use it but i keep getting these emails? [03:33] Shadow__X: i guess try to purge the package and reinstall is a good start [03:33] otherwise you can try to remove the file it's complaining about and see if it helps so it's generated again next time [03:38] superm1: ok i purged it and will wait to make sure the emails stop before i reinstall thanks [13:33] anyone here? i'm having issues with an upgrade from 0.23+fixes ubuntu 10.04.4 to mythbuntu 12.04.2 and mythtv 0.26+fixes [14:42] ubuntuaddicted: more likely to get help if you list out specific issues you are having [14:47] i am getting a lot of mythlogserver and mythpreviewgen processes spawning and it's causing my server to lockup [14:49] when I exit mythfrontend as well, it doesn't cleanly close, it just sits there on the screen for Do you really want to exit MythTV? I click "yes, Exit now" and it just sits there [14:52] i mean look at this, top of my backend server: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JTZbY1LoU34/UXAIffS9IcI/AAAAAAAABtI/9gS206Ugkjo/s640/Screenshot%2520-%252004182013%2520-%252009%253A51%253A14%2520AM.png [14:58] ubuntuaddicted: load average of 56 ouch [14:58] ubuntuaddicted: http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos [14:58] and I don't know what to look at to fix [14:58] enable that and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:59] already am, thanks though [14:59] i am running 0.26+fixes form mythbuntu repos [15:00] all those mythpreviewgen and mythlogserver are basically deadlocking my server [15:05] man, i wish I could get some help [20:54] Is there anyone that would help me formatting my 2TB drive and setting the correct write permissions ? [20:55] On my Ubuntu 12.10 machine [20:55] is this a new drive [20:56] i have used it, it is used on another linux system [20:56] It doesn§t automount and the program i use to record tv cant write to it and i as a user cant create folders also [20:57] G64, it's local to the system? [20:57] yes [20:57] what is it formatted as? [20:57] But different OS [20:57] ext4 [20:57] single partition? [20:57] yes [20:57] its a 2TB drive for saving recordings and timeshift [20:58] G64, ok, and you want to delete everything that is on it right now? [20:58] Yes, thats no problem [20:58] Because of fiddling around with it it might be better to reformat i think [20:58] ok [20:58] so, it's mounted right now, but not automounting? Where is it mounted? [20:59] But i am not sure if it is REALLY needed or that it only needs to be setup to autmount and that the correct permissions have to be set [20:59] at this moment it is not mounte [20:59] mounted [20:59] it mounts as i clik it in Unity [21:00] do you know the /dev/sd** location of the drive? [21:00] You want to know what it mounts to after i click it ? [21:00] sdb [21:00] ./dev/sdb [21:00] no, not necessary if you know it's sdb [21:00] G64, where do you want to mount it? [21:01] i now clicked it and it says: [21:01] ./dev/sdb1 on /media/jp/Data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) [21:01] jp is the user (me) [21:02] is it better to have it mounted to /meda/Data ? or doesnt that matter [21:02] the user hts (from TVheadend) also needs writing permissions [21:02] i mount mine at /srv// [21:02] As u see (i am not the linux guru yet ;) ) [21:03] Ok, so it doesnt really matter where i woudl mount it [21:03] ./media/Data is ok [21:03] nope, just don't mount it inside your /home/USER/ directory [21:03] ah ok [21:03] ok, so do 'sudo blkid' [21:03] Is it better to reformat it since it has been in another system ? [21:03] and get the UUID [21:04] got it [21:04] you could, but it shouldn't matter [21:04] ok [21:04] ok [21:04] are you familiar with /etc/fstab? [21:05] not really [21:05] ok, are you familiar with editing system files? [21:05] (eg. needing sudo and such)? [21:05] i have it open in nano now but have not used it before [21:06] yes [21:06] ok [21:06] so you want to add a line similiar to 'UUID=06086710-47c7-4b02-9dbf-6f8de034fa3d /srv/storage ext4 defaults 0 2' [21:06] replacing your UUID in there, and changing /srv/storage to wherever you want to mount it [21:10] Like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1r3do8am12jx7ev/output.jpg [21:10] ? [21:11] G64, yep that looks good [21:12] ok [21:12] so save that file [21:12] does the /media/Data directory already exist? [21:12] if not, you need to create it prior to mounting [21:12] ok [21:12] ill check [21:14] it wasnt [21:14] but i have now created one as root [21:14] sudo mkdir /media/Data [21:15] i even made it cleaner and is now /media/data [21:15] no capitol letter [21:15] then i will now add it to fstab [21:15] G64, ok [21:16] ok done [21:16] now reboot and see if it is automounted ? [21:17] or am i too fast :) [21:17] no need to reboot [21:17] is the drive mounted anywhere now? [21:17] if do mount [21:17] ./dev/sdb1 on /media/jp/Data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2) [21:18] but that might be old [21:18] or when i clicked from Unity [21:18] G64, ok, do 'sudo umount /media/jp/Data' [21:19] i think its mounted :) [21:19] ./dev/sdb1 on /media/data type ext4 (rw) [21:20] hi all. I'm just wondering if anyone here knows how to stop mythtv-backend from starting on boot. I have tried to disable its init script however it still appears to start. [21:20] It works :D [21:20] i have rebooted and is mounted when i check "mount" [21:20] and i can create a folder there as myself [21:21] G64, nice [21:21] Gumby`, how did you try to disable it? [21:23] Yeeyyyy, i also start recording and i see a file there :D [21:23] Niceee :D [21:23] tgm4883: first I tried using update-rc.d, then I tried renaming the startup script in /etc/init.d/, and then I even tried removing the startup script completely [21:23] Thanksssss [21:23] yet, mythbackend still starts [21:23] its like a virus [21:23] Gumby`, I don't think you know what a virus is, but anyhow. You didn't do any of that right [21:24] is it documented somewhere how to do it/ [21:24] Gumby`, upstart jobs aren't in /etc/init.d/ they are in /etc/init/ Further, the proper way to disable the upstart job is [21:24] echo 'manual' >> /etc/init/mythtv-backend.override [21:25] thanks [21:26] !disable | Gumby` [21:26] Gumby`: To disable the MythTV backend from starting at boot, simply do "echo 'manual' | sudo tee /etc/init/mythtv-backend.override". To restore the auto-start at boot, delete that file "sudo rm /etc/init/mythtv-backend.override" [21:28] thanks again [21:28] Thanks tgm... Have set some recordings and see several recordings being recorded :D
