[18:07] <bobweaver> Hello there I have been working hard making a MythBuntu SDK I am at the point where I am going to start to register this as a project on launchpad and would like some feed back as to what I should name it
[18:08] <tgm4883> bobweaver, jump in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev
[18:08] <bobweaver> thanks tgm4883
[19:54] <nyloc> hi, I have a strange problem with my mythtv-setup. If I enter any submenu like general or channels etc. mythtv-setup just shows me a blank white screen from which I can't return or do anything, only killing my xserver helps.
[19:55] <nyloc> I'm on kubuntu 12.04 with lts-quantal kernel and intel graphic (core i5).
[19:57] <lardman> not that I know much about mythtv, but is there any output in the terminal if you start it from there?
[19:57] <nyloc> lardman: no idea because I cant get to the terminal if the setup shows me the white screen
[19:58] <nyloc> couldn't find any log files for that.
[19:59] <lardman> nyloc: run (iirc) mythtv-setup from a terminal if you can
[20:00] <nyloc> lardman: Hmm, you gave me an idea i could redirect stdout and stderr to a file and have a look at that later on.
[20:01] <nyloc> because I cant get to the terminal if mythtv-setup hangs my system
[20:02] <lardman> oh I see, you can't just boot and run it afterward
[20:41] <bobweaver> nyloc,  you could always push the log file to pastebinit
[20:42] <bobweaver> cat /myt/log/file.txt | pastebinit
[20:42] <bobweaver> in tty
[20:43] <nyloc> bobweaver: Thanks, but I guess I somehow figured it out, it seems to be related to my graphics driver. As the problem doesn't exists if I use x11vnc to run mythtv-setup.
[20:43] <bobweaver> I think that there is a debugging option also with myth-setup but I could be wrong
[20:43] <bobweaver> Oo
[20:44] <bobweaver> what is lspci -vnn | grep VGA
[20:44] <nyloc> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0102] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
[20:45] <nyloc> my kernel is 3.5.0-30-generic
[20:45] <bobweaver> huh intel works OOB most the time
[20:45] <bobweaver> let me ssh into my bacjkend
[20:46] <nyloc> yeah but ubuntu had strange problems with the intel driver in the last few kernel updates, that why I switched to lts-quantal kernel.
[20:46] <bobweaver> huh
[20:46] <bobweaver> so this is 12.04
[20:46] <nyloc> yeah
[20:46] <bobweaver> myth 0.25 ?
[20:46] <nyloc> yes
[20:47] <nyloc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695011/
[20:47] <bobweaver> thansk
[20:50] <bobweaver> nyloc,  when was the last time you upgaded  ?
[20:50] <nyloc> the mythtv-setup log doesn't show anything suspicous, the 20:06::02ff sessions are the crashed ones http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695015/
[20:50] <nyloc> bobweaver: 2 hours ago :P
[20:51] <nyloc> sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade is part of my daily routine :P
[20:51] <bobweaver> do you have (I never used ) bu mythtv-dbg
[20:52] <bobweaver> purge and re-install myth I would say or have you tried that ?
[20:53] <bobweaver> or can you not afford to drop the tables ?
[20:54] <nyloc> bobweaver:No haven't tried that caus I have a "not so easy" setup and my girlfriend will kill me if her tv-shows are not recorded :P
[20:55] <bobweaver> I hear that
[20:55] <bobweaver> you got gdb installed  ?
[20:56] <bobweaver> maybe you can run it against mythbackend
[20:56] <nyloc> bobweaver: I will investigate the problem a bit further tomorrow tonight I can't shut the tv down :P. Not yet but would be no problem to install gdb and the debugging sybols on my media pc
[20:56] <lardman> hmm, Android frontend keeps crashing when I put in the backend address, not ideal
[20:57] <bobweaver> lardman,  which one ?
[20:57] <nyloc> the problem is not that of a showstopper as I can configure via x11vnc connection and I'm using xbmc to watch recordings.
[20:58] <lardman> bobweaver: the officially endorsed beta one
[20:58] <nyloc> bobweaver: And I'm not even sure if this only affects mythtv-setup or if mythfrontend is also affected.
[20:58] <bobweaver> nyloc, what is DE ?
[20:58] <bobweaver> unity gnome ?
[20:58] <nyloc> kde with kwin
[20:59] <nyloc> *duck*
[20:59] <bobweaver> have you tried with a different window manager ?
[20:59] <bobweaver> I have my own if you would like to try ?
[20:59] <bobweaver> hacked and ported unity 2d
[20:59] <bobweaver> must be on 12.04
[20:59] <bobweaver> https://launchpad.net/~u2t/+archive/bleedingedge
[21:00] <nyloc> thanks, I will have a look at it but I quiet a kde guy ;) qt developer since 3.0.
[21:00] <bobweaver> just make sure that you install libqt4-declarative-particles    I forgot to add it to the d/control file
[21:01] <bobweaver> it is qt
[21:01] <bobweaver> qt/qml
[21:01] <nyloc> bobweaver: ok, thats an arument
[21:01] <bobweaver> nyloc,  I am also a qt dev
[21:01] <nyloc> I will have a look at it
[21:01] <bobweaver> nyloc,  it is Ubuntu TV hacked up
[21:02] <bobweaver> you can add tgm4883  lens to it also that reads the backend recored shows and also videos on backend
[21:02] <bobweaver> or scope sorry
[21:03] <bobweaver> nyloc,  I was adding myth services to it when all hell took a turn and things got crazy and I stop deving it
[21:03] <Zinn> bobweaver: Please watch your language.
[21:03] <nyloc> lol
[21:04] <nyloc> ok, I will check it out, but I have to go now. The dog almost rips my shoes off because he needs to go out. See you later.
[21:07] <bobweaver> cya have a good one.  This is what I am working on atm (qt/qml)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pttNcHJZFRI&list=PLB22HyVdO1Glqr7URWQEG_5KFu-MEO2wQ
[22:25] <lardman> hmm, I see the Android frontend uses Zeroconf to find the backend, but for some reason my backend isn't showing anything that looks backend related as an available service
[22:25] <lardman> though it does show other unrelated things being broadcast
[22:25] <lardman> is there a special incantation?
[22:31] <bobweaver> lardman,  have you tried to test the backend
[22:31] <bobweaver> what is version of myth do you have services ?
[22:32] <bobweaver> what happens if you putin
[22:32] <bobweaver> DataBase.ipAddress()+":"+DataBase.port()+"/Capture/GetCaptureCardList"
[22:32] <bobweaver> to a browser
[22:33] <bobweaver> where DataBase.ipAddress()    ==  http://192.168.1.whatever    and port is the port that is listening
[22:33] <lardman> bobweaver, I can't get the http://192.168.1.82:6543/Myth/GetHostName to work on Android tablet or the host machine
[22:33] <bobweaver> sure htat string is right ?
[22:33] <lardman> ah not host, but other machine on network
[22:34] <lardman> yeah the IP is correct as I'm logged into the web interface
[22:34] <lardman> and the port is the one listed in the settings
[22:34] <bobweaver> http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetVideo?Id=100
[22:34] <bobweaver> try that
[22:34] <bobweaver> looks like you are using wrong port unless you changed it
[22:34] <bobweaver> or you can do
[22:35] <lardman> rejected apparently
[22:35] <lardman> no, I didn't change the port, just the default it setup when I installed it
[22:35] <bobweaver> http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetFileList?StorageGroup=Fanart
[22:35] <bobweaver> default should be 6544 not 6543
[22:36] <bobweaver> http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetFileList?StorageGroup=Fanart       << put that in browser
[22:36] <bobweaver> work ?
[22:36] <lardman> rejected by the server
[22:36] <bobweaver> Oo
[22:36] <lardman> also with 653
[22:36] <bobweaver> what is myth version
[22:36] <bobweaver> 0.25 ?
[22:36] <lardman> s/653/6543
[22:37] <lardman> MythTV Version : v0.25.3-44-g94d67fc
[22:37] <bobweaver> the api default sits on 6544 or so I though or know I should say I work with it everyday
[22:37] <bobweaver> when was the last time you updated / upgraded ?
[22:38] <lardman> I installed mythbuntu from a new download yesterday
[22:38] <lardman> whole shebang
[22:38] <bobweaver> update and upgrade
[22:38] <lardman> yeah done that too
[22:38] <tgm4883> lardman, did you enable the mythtv service in mythbuntu-control-centre
[22:38] <bobweaver> good call tgm4883
[22:38] <tgm4883> most likely, it's only listening on localhost
[22:38] <lardman> tgm4883, hmm, not sure about that
[22:38] <lardman> ok, will have a look see, can I do that remotely?
[22:40] <bobweaver> you could x11vnc in or something like that though I think that that is over kill and also danger zone
[22:40] <bobweaver> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwBbrngafl0
[22:40] <bobweaver> sorry
[22:40] <tgm4883>  look at /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf
[22:41] <lardman> cat /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf
[22:41] <lardman> [mysqld]
[22:41] <lardman> #bind-address=0.0.0.0
[22:41] <tgm4883> I don't recall what the default is
[22:41] <tgm4883> try uncommenting that line, then restarting mysql and mythtv-backend
[22:44] <lardman> done that, no change to the urls - they still don't work
[22:44] <lardman> I also don't see an avahi broadcast that looks related
[22:45] <lardman> I'll hold fire 'till tomorrow when I can go and log in locally - don't want to walk past my daughter's room and risk waking her up now!
[22:46] <lardman> thanks for the suggestions, will check in tomorrow and let you know how I get on :)
[22:46] <lardman> night all
