[12:40] <Roklobsta> repost from #mythtv-users
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:52:13] <Roklobsta> i think i might have re-uncovered a mythbuntu problem that may affect others.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:53:11] <Roklobsta> I have had vexing trouble with Afatech cards and ages ago philips cards where the kernel was doing whatever it needed to do to install firmware or calibrate tuners.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:54:01] <Roklobsta> in the meantime init would fire up mythbackend which i think would then try to talk to the TV cards at the same time and bugger things up.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:55:20] <Roklobsta> i did solve the problem by introducing a "sleep 120" just before mythbackend is started in the init/mythtv.conf file which seemed to make the philips cards behave.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:56:21] <Roklobsta> i just tried it with the Afatech cards (using a sleep 20) and i didn't get the myriad of i2c errors in the syslog which means they just won't ever tune if that happens.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> 22:58:08] <Roklobsta> so there is possibly a race at startup between the kernel drivers finishing bootup jobs with the DVB cards and mythbackend stomping all over the cards at the same time.  I guess the kernel should block until it's finished setting up the cards.
[12:40] <Roklobsta> [22:58:27] <Roklobsta> this setup usual is done one tuner at a time and can take a few seconds.
[12:41] <Roklobsta> so i have 2 Afatech 9015 cards (4 tuners) and they in turn take 5 seconds each to calibrate
[12:41] <Roklobsta> if mythbackend starts up while this is happening and talks to the cards it can wreck the card for tuning until next power cycle.
[16:58] <qwebirc23840> hello
[16:58] <qwebirc23840> sorry to disturb you but i just want to notice that the download link for mythbuntu on existing ubuntu does not work
[16:58] <qwebirc23840> the link that we could found there:
[16:58] <qwebirc23840> http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu
[16:58] <qwebirc23840> http://download.mythbuntu.org/getmythbuntu.php
[17:10] <qwebirc23840> nobody is here?? :(
[17:11] <Jay2k1> the right person will read it, no worries

[17:30] <qwebirc23840> that was fast :)
[17:57] <qwebirc23840> One question, there is no link for the 14.04 ?
[18:06] <qwebirc23840> it's in the repository so nothing to do...
[18:08] <tgm4883> qwebirc23840: there should be a link, the link just takes you to software center to install it from the repo
[18:08] <tgm4883> so yea, you can just install it through there instead of the website
[18:10] <qwebirc23840> thank's everything is upgraded :)
[18:10] <qwebirc23840> thank's for the help :)
