| Hydr0p0nX | haven't tried the latest release yet ... | 01:56 |
| Hydr0p0nX | what kind of hardware is it ? | 01:57 |
| qwebirc96694 | i have a intel i7 processor, 6 gigs ram, 2 tb seagate hard drive, happauge wintv 2250 card and a nvidia 8400gs graphic card | 01:59 |
| Hydr0p0nX | what kind of motherboard ? | 01:59 |
| qwebirc96694 | a asus p6t | 02:01 |
| Hydr0p0nX | selecting vnc as part of the install options? | 02:03 |
| qwebirc96694 | ive tried both ways | 02:06 |
| Hydr0p0nX | hmm | 02:07 |
| Hydr0p0nX | any detail provided ? ticket number or anything ? | 02:07 |
| JohnQ | FWIW, I had a similar "hang at the end of the installation", and it went away when I disabled the "Download updates during install" option. | 02:08 |
| JohnQ | It'll update later anyway. | 02:08 |
| qwebirc96694 | i tried that also. it seemed to hang installing the nvidia drivers the last time | 02:12 |
| JohnQ | Ah. For me it was in "Configuring mythtv" and seemed to be an issue with mysqld. Sounds like a different issue. Sorry | 02:17 |
| qwebirc4207 | after many tries i finally got mythbuntu installed. I didnt select any option that werent chosen for me during install. But now how do i get my hauppage wintv card to be recognized | 03:38 |
| qwebirc4207 | it doesnt seem to see it. Im a beginner so baby steps if you can | 03:39 |
| qwebirc4207 | can anyone help me get my hauppage card setup? | 03:46 |
| qwebirc4207 | anyone still up | 05:08 |
| qwebirc4207 | ok im out of here i will try tomorrow and see if anyone can help me get my card to work | 05:10 |
| qwebirc43213 | I installed mythbuntu and after many trials i got it installed. I have 2 issues, 1 MYSQL doesnt seem to be working anytime i try to make changes in the backend it keeps giving me errors | 16:55 |
| qwebirc43213 | 2 i need to get my hauppage 2250 card to work | 16:56 |
| qwebirc43213 | Anyone feeling like they are up to a chalange today? | 16:56 |
| tgm4883 | what do you mean mysql isn't working | 17:17 |
| qwebirc27788 | i had a heck of a time getting mythbuntu to install i could only take all of the defaults when doing the install. If i tried to install the lir for my hauppage remote the installer would crash. if i tried to use nvidia drivers the installer would crash. i have it installed now but it doesnt see my hardware and keeps giving me mysql errors | 18:06 |
| qwebirc27788 | when i try to configure the backend | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | 10:17 AM <tgm4883> what do you mean mysql isn't working | 18:07 |
| qwebirc27788 | I want to get my Hauppage 2250 wintv card to work and i want to get mysql to work the picture seems ok so maybe i dont need the nvidia drivers | 18:07 |
| tgm4883 | those are 3 separate things | 18:08 |
| qwebirc27788 | but i havent seen anything but the mythbuntu screens so once i can maybe i will need the nvidia drivers for my 8400gs 1 gig video card | 18:08 |
| qwebirc27788 | i know i think i need to start with mysql | 18:09 |
| tgm4883 | so it's not running? | 18:09 |
| tgm4883 | 'sudo service mysql status' | 18:09 |
| tgm4883 | do that | 18:09 |
| qwebirc27788 | when i go into the backend it says disabled. i enable it but then i get a error saying it is shutting down the service | 18:09 |
| tgm4883 | that doesn't make sense. Where does it say disabled | 18:10 |
| tgm4883 | can you give me a screenshot? | 18:10 |
| qwebirc27788 | not sure how to do that. i am a new linux user | 18:11 |
| qwebirc27788 | i just restarted it so give me a minute to check it again | 18:12 |
| tgm4883 | ok. lets start from the beginning | 18:12 |
| tgm4883 | check it again | 18:12 |
| qwebirc27788 | under mythbuntu control center says disable next to MySql service on ethernet interfaces | 18:17 |
| tgm4883 | You are on 14.04 right? | 18:18 |
| tgm4883 | have you run updates yet? | 18:18 |
| qwebirc27788 | i am on the newest i havent run updates yet i didnt know how to do it | 18:19 |
| tgm4883 | you can open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 18:21 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok its doing something | 18:23 |
| qwebirc27788 | still going its doing a bunch of preparing and unpacking of files | 18:27 |
| qwebirc27788 | its asking about samba server and utilities saying a new version of the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf is available and what i want to do with it | 18:30 |
| qwebirc27788 | i can install, keep local version, show differences | 18:31 |
| qwebirc27788 | should i choose install | 18:36 |
| qwebirc27788 | i choose install and it seems to be done. now whats next | 18:40 |
| tgm4883 | ok, now restart the Mythbuntu control center | 18:43 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok i am back in it MySQL still says disable. do i need to reboot computer | 18:44 |
| tgm4883 | well you should be able to enable it now | 18:44 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok now what it is enabled | 18:45 |
| qwebirc27788 | do i launch the mythtv setup? | 18:47 |
| tgm4883 | not yet | 18:47 |
| tgm4883 | first, open a terminal and do 'sudo service mysql restart' | 18:47 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok its running it says process 1542 | 18:48 |
| tgm4883 | ok, so I'm guessing there was never a problem with mysql, but now you can connect up other frontends to this machine if you want | 18:49 |
| tgm4883 | and you can go forth with your setup | 18:49 |
| qwebirc27788 | Do you know how i get it to see the hauppauge card. I have reinstyalled this so many times i dont want to mess it up again by doing the wrong thing | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | what card | 18:50 |
| qwebirc27788 | hauppauge wintv-hvr-2250 | 18:51 |
| tgm4883 | how are you setting it up in mythtv-setup | 18:52 |
| tgm4883 | what type of card are you adding it as? | 18:52 |
| qwebirc27788 | its not listed for me to select it the default seems to be under capture caard it defaults to dvb-t/s/c atsc | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | ok, do this | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | then run "dmesg | pastebinit" | 18:55 |
| tgm4883 | then post the link it gives you | 18:55 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok it completed | 18:55 |
| qwebirc27788 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/7676200 | 18:57 |
| tgm4883 | You are missing the firmware it seems | 18:58 |
| tgm4883 | Lines 934-940 | 18:58 |
| qwebirc27788 | ok i'll bite, how do i find it | 18:59 |
| tgm4883 | I would think this still applies http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=942403&page=43&p=11205874#post11205874 | 19:00 |
| tgm4883 | I've not used hauppauge devices in awhlie | 19:01 |
| tgm4883 | and I don't recall ever having to deal with firmware | 19:01 |
| JohnQ | When I went through the mythbuntu installer, it gave me the option of an open source video driver or an nvidia one. Whats the easiest way to try the other one, post-install? | 19:06 |
| tgm4883 | JohnQ: personally I use jockey-text, because I administer it all though SSH | 19:07 |
| JohnQ | Hmm. I'll take a look. thanks for the pointer. | 19:08 |
| JohnQ | Dont seem to have it installed. maybe ubuntu-drivers is the replacement? | 19:10 |
| tgm4883 | JohnQ: do you have software sources? | 19:11 |
| JohnQ | yep | 19:11 |
| tgm4883 | you should have an additional drivers tab in that | 19:11 |
| JohnQ | OK thanks | 19:11 |
| JohnQ | Interesting. Hard to tell if it worked or not. :-) | 19:18 |
| JohnQ | Before the install I was seeing occasional tearing in the video during high-speed sceens... but it seems better now. Its very hard to tell | 19:34 |
| JohnQ | OK... well for now, I'll just assume its better until proven otherwise. | 19:35 |
| JohnQ | Different question: Whenever I try to delete a video in myhhvideo, it says "failed to delete file". I've made sure that the files are delete-able by root, mythtv, and the user running the frontend... I dont see any error messages about it in /var/log/mythtv.. and I am not sure what else to try. | 19:38 |
| tgm4883 | JohnQ: are they backend storage groups or frontend storage directories? | 19:40 |
| JohnQ | I have no idea. (Imnot clear on the difference... mostly I just tweaked the various path settings haphazardly until the videos showed up). How can I tell? | 19:40 |
| tgm4883 | did you set up the directories in the frontend, or in mythtv-setup | 19:42 |
| JohnQ | Checking. | 19:42 |
| JohnQ | Must have been in the frontend. Only my recorded-tv directories are listed in the "Storage Directories" in myth-setup. | 19:44 |
| tgm4883 | ok, your frontend user will need access to delete them then, and the logs would be in the frontend log I believe | 19:45 |
| JohnQ | drontend user does have access (su - john ; rm ... works).. | 19:46 |
| JohnQ | And nothing shows in the logs :-/ | 19:46 |
| JohnQ | I'll try switching them to backend directories and see if that helps. | 19:48 |
| JohnQ | Woah... curiouser and curiouser... I switched to a storage group, and I still get the error but now things show in the logs. When I delete file A in myth, I get an error in the logs that it couldnt delete file B. File B seems to be the file that is alphabetically first in that sorage dir. ... and it should have been able to delete file B if it had tried. (Glad it didnt) | 20:09 |
| JohnQ | Hah. Its a known bug. "Won't fix.": https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11407 | 20:14 |
| JohnQ | Looks like im going to have to learn to live without "file browse mode"... :-( | 20:15 |
| qwebirc27788 | i got myy mythtv up and running (Sort Of) i was watching COPS and it just locked up. Is there a way to fix this it is the first show i ever tried to watch on it | 20:35 |
| JohnQ | You sure the hardware you're running on is solid? I.e. no memory faiures, not overheating, not overclocked etc...? | 20:41 |
| JohnQ | Anyone know if there is a way to make the mythvideo scan skip symlinks? | 21:30 |
| JohnQ | Ugh how to people cope with the slow scan every time they add a new file? It took 6min 22 sec to "Scan for Changes" :-/ | 21:42 |
| JohnQ | And seems to crash mythfrontend on occasion... ick. | 21:49 |
| JohnQ | With a default mythbuntu install, is it safe to assume that mythbackend will be running before the rc.local is run on boot? | 22:04 |
| JohnQ | Wow... really strange. mythutil --scanvideos wont run from rc.local. It produces error messages and exits with code 130. Runs fine from command line. Weird. | 23:38 |
