[18:07] 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] bobweaver, jump in #ubuntu-mythtv-dev [18:08] thanks tgm4883 [19:54] 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] I'm on kubuntu 12.04 with lts-quantal kernel and intel graphic (core i5). [19:57] not that I know much about mythtv, but is there any output in the terminal if you start it from there? [19:57] lardman: no idea because I cant get to the terminal if the setup shows me the white screen [19:58] couldn't find any log files for that. [19:59] nyloc: run (iirc) mythtv-setup from a terminal if you can [20:00] 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] because I cant get to the terminal if mythtv-setup hangs my system [20:02] oh I see, you can't just boot and run it afterward === lardman is now known as lardman|afk === jpabq_ is now known as jpabq === lardman|afk is now known as lardman [20:41] nyloc, you could always push the log file to pastebinit [20:42] cat /myt/log/file.txt | pastebinit [20:42] in tty [20:43] 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] I think that there is a debugging option also with myth-setup but I could be wrong [20:43] Oo [20:44] what is lspci -vnn | grep VGA [20:44] 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] my kernel is 3.5.0-30-generic [20:45] huh intel works OOB most the time [20:45] let me ssh into my bacjkend [20:46] 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] huh [20:46] so this is 12.04 [20:46] yeah [20:46] myth 0.25 ? [20:46] yes [20:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5695011/ [20:47] thansk [20:50] nyloc, when was the last time you upgaded ? [20:50] 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] bobweaver: 2 hours ago :P [20:51] sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade is part of my daily routine :P [20:51] do you have (I never used ) bu mythtv-dbg [20:52] purge and re-install myth I would say or have you tried that ? [20:53] or can you not afford to drop the tables ? [20:54] 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] I hear that [20:55] you got gdb installed ? [20:56] maybe you can run it against mythbackend [20:56] 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] hmm, Android frontend keeps crashing when I put in the backend address, not ideal [20:57] lardman, which one ? [20:57] 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] bobweaver: the officially endorsed beta one [20:58] bobweaver: And I'm not even sure if this only affects mythtv-setup or if mythfrontend is also affected. [20:58] nyloc, what is DE ? [20:58] unity gnome ? [20:58] kde with kwin [20:59] *duck* [20:59] have you tried with a different window manager ? [20:59] I have my own if you would like to try ? [20:59] hacked and ported unity 2d [20:59] must be on 12.04 [20:59] https://launchpad.net/~u2t/+archive/bleedingedge [21:00] thanks, I will have a look at it but I quiet a kde guy ;) qt developer since 3.0. [21:00] just make sure that you install libqt4-declarative-particles I forgot to add it to the d/control file [21:01] it is qt [21:01] qt/qml [21:01] bobweaver: ok, thats an arument [21:01] nyloc, I am also a qt dev [21:01] I will have a look at it [21:01] nyloc, it is Ubuntu TV hacked up [21:02] you can add tgm4883 lens to it also that reads the backend recored shows and also videos on backend [21:02] or scope sorry [21:03] 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] bobweaver: Please watch your language. [21:03] lol [21:04] 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] 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] 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] though it does show other unrelated things being broadcast [22:25] is there a special incantation? [22:31] lardman, have you tried to test the backend [22:31] what is version of myth do you have services ? [22:32] what happens if you putin [22:32] DataBase.ipAddress()+":"+DataBase.port()+"/Capture/GetCaptureCardList" [22:32] to a browser [22:33] where DataBase.ipAddress() == http://192.168.1.whatever and port is the port that is listening [22:33] 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] sure htat string is right ? [22:33] ah not host, but other machine on network [22:34] yeah the IP is correct as I'm logged into the web interface [22:34] and the port is the one listed in the settings [22:34] http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetVideo?Id=100 [22:34] try that [22:34] looks like you are using wrong port unless you changed it [22:34] or you can do [22:35] rejected apparently [22:35] no, I didn't change the port, just the default it setup when I installed it [22:35] http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetFileList?StorageGroup=Fanart [22:35] default should be 6544 not 6543 [22:36] http://192.168.1.82:6544/Content/GetFileList?StorageGroup=Fanart << put that in browser [22:36] work ? [22:36] rejected by the server [22:36] Oo [22:36] also with 653 [22:36] what is myth version [22:36] 0.25 ? [22:36] s/653/6543 [22:37] MythTV Version : v0.25.3-44-g94d67fc [22:37] the api default sits on 6544 or so I though or know I should say I work with it everyday [22:37] when was the last time you updated / upgraded ? [22:38] I installed mythbuntu from a new download yesterday [22:38] whole shebang [22:38] update and upgrade [22:38] yeah done that too [22:38] lardman, did you enable the mythtv service in mythbuntu-control-centre [22:38] good call tgm4883 [22:38] most likely, it's only listening on localhost [22:38] tgm4883, hmm, not sure about that [22:38] ok, will have a look see, can I do that remotely? [22:40] you could x11vnc in or something like that though I think that that is over kill and also danger zone [22:40] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwBbrngafl0 [22:40] sorry [22:40] look at /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf [22:41] cat /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf [22:41] [mysqld] [22:41] #bind-address=0.0.0.0 [22:41] I don't recall what the default is [22:41] try uncommenting that line, then restarting mysql and mythtv-backend [22:44] done that, no change to the urls - they still don't work [22:44] I also don't see an avahi broadcast that looks related [22:45] 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] thanks for the suggestions, will check in tomorrow and let you know how I get on :) [22:46] night all
