qwebirc56516i still do saying its missing a file16:18
qwebirc56516maybe it doesnt mean anything16:19
Kwisherhow are you restarting lirc?16:21
qwebirc56516sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart16:22
Kwisheri get no errors on mine16:24
Kwisherin the control center/ir setup, what do you have for the settings?16:26
Kwisherwould you mind installing teamviewer on your myth system so i can remote in?16:28
qwebirc56516not at all juyst tell me what i need to do to install it16:28
Kwisheris your install 32 or 64 bit?16:29
qwebirc5651664bit16:29
Kwishergoogle for teamviewer and download the ubuntu 32/64 bit multiarch file16:31
Kwisherdid you try the xbmc live yet?16:31
qwebirc56516its installing almost done.  i am making a dvd with xbmc16:36
Kwisheryou need to use usb sticks for live testing16:36
Kwisheror rewritable optical discs16:37
qwebirc56516teamviewer id 515 761 23416:37
qwebirc56516password 198816:37
Kwisheri'm at a loss16:40
Kwisherpassword please16:44
qwebirc56516ok i put it in16:45
Kwisherwhat did you select before here in term?16:56
qwebirc56516windows media center16:56
Kwisheron my system there is a rc0 folder with other files/folders17:12
Kwishersomething is hosed on your system17:12
Kwisheri cannot write to it either, even as root, just as on yours17:13
qwebirc56516does service have to be stopped17:13
qwebirc56516so much for that idea17:14
Kwishermust be some sort of system area ???17:15
qwebirc56516should i reload?17:15
Kwisheron mine there is: device  input4  lirc0  power  protocols  subsystem  uevent17:15
Kwisheryours does not exist for some reason17:16
qwebirc56516is it some kind of secirty issue on the folder?  is there a way (for lack of a better term to force it to take ownership?17:18
Kwishersame as mine root17:18
Kwisherwhen you installed, did you do a custom partition or use the default?17:29
qwebirc56516i used the default and chose to delete previous install and reninstall new17:29
Kwishermy only suggestion would be to install xubuntu 14.04 and then add mythtv after the install17:31
qwebirc56516i have another hard drive i can install in the computer and reload it, i'm getting really good at the reloads17:31
Kwisherbut make sure to delete all partitions and start on a bare drive17:31
qwebirc56516i can probably do that i think i know how to install mythtv on it after umbuntu17:31
Kwisheryou would just need to install mythbuntu-control-centre and go through the setup17:32
qwebirc56516thank you so much for the help at least it seems to be getting somewhere and i'm not going crazy17:32
Kwishercan you try the xbmc live on your laptop first to check the remote hardware?17:33
Kwisherunplug the receiver from the myth box17:33
qwebirc56516i unplugged it17:34
Kwisherplug it back in17:34
qwebirc56516done17:35
Kwisherok try xbmc live to check the remote hardware17:35
Kwishershould work right away without any configuration17:36
qwebirc56516ok i will do so i will have to kick you off the box you are on i am using laptop for the chat room17:36
Kwisherwell, i'm stumped17:40
Kwisherunless your hardware is not actually supported??17:41
qwebirc56516i am going to reload it after i test with xbmc17:41
Kwishertest with xbmc17:41
Kwishertest with xbmc on both pc's17:42
qwebirc56516couple question i will have when i tried umbuntu and then mythtv the first time everytime i restarted it asked for a passowrd before going into it17:42
Kwisherneed to verify the hardware actually works with linux17:42
qwebirc56516like i had to login17:42
qwebirc56516will do i will test and let you know17:42
Kwisheryes, that is normal17:43
Kwisherwhen i start the myth-backend setup i have to enter password17:43
Kwisheranything you do on linux that requires system changes should require the admin password17:44
Kwisherfirst thing is to make sure the remote hardware works17:45
