[01:49] <qwebirc96694> i am trying to install mythbuntu but it wont install it starts and when it looks like it is about 90% done it hangs for a while and says it crashed and is going to send a error report
[01:50] <Hydr0p0nX> what version ?
[01:51] <qwebirc96694> just downloaded it yesterday from this website i think it is the newest
[01:56] <Hydr0p0nX> haven't tried the latest release yet ...
[01:57] <Hydr0p0nX> what kind of hardware is it ?
[01:59] <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 ?
[02:01] <qwebirc96694> a asus p6t
[02:03] <Hydr0p0nX> selecting vnc as part of the install options?
[02:06] <qwebirc96694> ive tried both ways
[02:07] <Hydr0p0nX> hmm
[02:07] <Hydr0p0nX> any detail provided ? ticket number or anything ?
[02:08] <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.
[02:12] <qwebirc96694> i tried that also.  it seemed to hang installing the nvidia drivers the last time
[02:17] <JohnQ> Ah.  For me it was in "Configuring mythtv" and seemed to be an issue with mysqld.  Sounds like a different issue.  Sorry
[03:38] <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
[03:39] <qwebirc4207> it doesnt seem to see it.  Im a beginner so baby steps if you can
[03:46] <qwebirc4207> can anyone help me get my hauppage card setup?
[05:08] <qwebirc4207> anyone still up
[05:10] <qwebirc4207> ok im out of here i will try tomorrow and see if anyone can help me get my card to work
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <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?
[17:17] <tgm4883> what do you mean mysql isn't working
[18:06] <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
[18:07] <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
[18:08] <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
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <tgm4883> that doesn't make sense. Where does it say disabled
[18:10] <tgm4883> can you give me a screenshot?
[18:11] <qwebirc27788> not sure how to do that.  i am a new linux user
[18:12] <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
[18:17] <qwebirc27788> under mythbuntu control center says disable next to MySql service on ethernet interfaces
[18:18] <tgm4883> You are on 14.04 right?
[18:18] <tgm4883> have you run updates yet?
[18:19] <qwebirc27788> i am on the newest i havent run updates yet i didnt know how to do it
[18:21] <tgm4883> you can open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[18:23] <qwebirc27788> ok its doing something
[18:27] <qwebirc27788> still going its doing a bunch of preparing and unpacking of files
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <qwebirc27788> i can install, keep local version, show differences
[18:36] <qwebirc27788> should i choose install
[18:40] <qwebirc27788> i choose install and it seems to be done.  now whats next
[18:43] <tgm4883> ok, now restart the Mythbuntu control center
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <qwebirc27788> ok now what it is enabled
[18:47] <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'
[18:48] <qwebirc27788> ok its running it says process 1542
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <qwebirc27788> hauppauge wintv-hvr-2250
[18:52] <tgm4883> how are you setting it up in mythtv-setup
[18:52] <tgm4883> what type of card are you adding it as?
[18:54] <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"
[18:55] <tgm4883> then run "dmesg | pastebinit"
[18:55] <tgm4883> then post the link it gives you
[18:55] <qwebirc27788> ok it completed
[18:57] <qwebirc27788> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7676200
[18:58] <tgm4883> You are missing the firmware it seems
[18:58] <tgm4883> Lines 934-940
[18:59] <qwebirc27788> ok i'll bite, how do i find it
[19:00] <tgm4883> I would think this still applies  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=942403&page=43&p=11205874#post11205874
[19:01] <tgm4883> I've not used hauppauge devices in awhlie
[19:01] <tgm4883> and I don't recall ever having to deal with firmware
[19:06] <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?
[19:07] <tgm4883> JohnQ: personally I use jockey-text, because I administer it all though SSH
[19:08] <JohnQ> Hmm.  I'll take a look.  thanks for the pointer.
[19:10] <JohnQ> Dont seem to have it installed.  maybe ubuntu-drivers is the replacement?
[19:11] <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
[19:18] <JohnQ> Interesting.   Hard to tell if it worked or not.  :-)
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <JohnQ> OK... well for now, I'll just assume its better until proven otherwise.
[19:38] <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.
[19:40] <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?
[19:42] <tgm4883> did you set up the directories in the frontend, or in mythtv-setup
[19:42] <JohnQ> Checking.
[19:44] <JohnQ> Must have been in the frontend.  Only my recorded-tv directories are listed in the "Storage Directories" in myth-setup.
[19:45] <tgm4883> ok, your frontend user will need access to delete them then, and the logs would be in the frontend log I believe
[19:46] <JohnQ> drontend user does have access (su - john  ; rm ...  works)..
[19:46] <JohnQ> And nothing shows in the logs :-/
[19:48] <JohnQ> I'll try switching them to backend directories and see if that helps.
[20:09] <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)
[20:14] <JohnQ> Hah.  Its a known bug.  "Won't fix.":  https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11407
[20:15] <JohnQ> Looks like im going to have to learn to live without "file browse mode"... :-(
[20:35] <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
[20:41] <JohnQ> You sure the hardware you're running on is solid?  I.e. no memory faiures, not overheating, not overclocked etc...?
[21:30] <JohnQ> Anyone know if there is a way to make the mythvideo scan skip symlinks?
[21:42] <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"  :-/
[21:49] <JohnQ> And seems to crash mythfrontend on occasion... ick.
[22:04] <JohnQ> With a default mythbuntu install, is it safe to assume that mythbackend will be running before the rc.local is run on boot?
[23:38] <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.
