[22:57] Eben though I install a fresh version of 14.04 mcc takes forever to start and when I try to update the repos the flyout partially opens and just sits there. Does anyone have an idea what is going on ? [22:58] By the way sorry to hear that Mythbuntu is getting no further updates. Was same with Kmoppix [22:58] Knopmyth [22:59] 14.04? Did you post this question on the forums too? [22:59] no I did not [22:59] hmm, ok [22:59] I have searched for an answer there but there is nothing I can find [23:00] 14.04 should work I think. I wonder if it's trying to refresh the db list [23:00] refreshing the mythtv updates list would hang I think [23:01] I have done that several times. Erased the disk, started with 14.04 LTS [23:01] Yea that's not something... Any reason you aren't going to 16.04? [23:01] also get the same response if I try to do this from a DVD in the Try mode [23:01] suspect some kind of access problem [23:02] as in the repos it is trying to get to are someplace else [23:02] Any reason you aren't going to 16.04? [23:02] experience shows provocative maintennce is asking for trouble ;) [23:02] maintenance [23:03] hmm, ok [23:03] also comments about 16.04 show problems [23:03] and reduced quality so concerned about upgrading until stabilizes [23:03] well the refresh button isn't working because I moved the location that was hosting that db file [23:03] well that might be it ;) [23:04] There's a file you can edit to point it at the right location [23:04] is there a place to change the location in the mcc script ? [23:04] Let me look it up [23:04] ta very much [23:05] Hey TGM thanks for what you have done for community with this system [23:06] sorry to hear it has become too much of a burden (assuming you are one of the last 2 developers) never easy to figure out in a place where you might be talking with Putin ;) [23:07] place == Internet [23:07] Oh you are Thomas Mashos [23:13] heh, yea [23:14] Sorry, let me look at up in a few minutes, finishing something else currently [23:14] OK [23:14] Missis is calling, will leave chat open if that is OK [23:14] off the top of my head, I think /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/py/ is that a directory? [23:15] not on my machine [23:15] it is /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python [23:15] ah yea [23:15] what files are in there? [23:15] log_grabber.py mythexport.py services.py mysql_configuration.py plugins.py startup_behavior.py mythbuntu-bare.py proprietary_codecs.py system_roles.py mythbuntu_repos.py remote.py [23:16] mythbuntu_repos.py [23:16] edit that, look for a line that has repos.db in it [23:16] should be a URL [23:17] #shutil.copy("/usr/share/mythbuntu/repos.db", self.USERHOME+"/.mythbuntu/") [23:17] nope [23:17] only occurence [23:17] hmm [23:17] ok, let me dig into it, give me a few minutes [23:17] do you think it is in the mcc script ? [23:18] no, it should be there I think [23:18] OK. Get a beer - diffing gets easier ;) [23:18] digging [23:18] unless I pulled it out into a conf file [23:18] clearly I already got mine [23:21] qwebirc21175: actually, can you do 'cat /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu_repos.py | nc termbin.com 9999' [23:21] that will make it easier, it will give you a link so I can see the exact version of the file you have [23:22] http://termbin.com/t92s [23:23] There it is [23:23] http://download.mythbuntu.org/repos/repos.db [23:23] That needs updated [23:23] about 3/4 way down [23:23] Sorry Tom, what am I updating ? [23:24] you mean in this file /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu_repos.py [23:24] yea [23:24] that file needs updated [23:24] It should be this instead [23:25] http://people.ubuntu.com/~tgm4883/repos.db [23:25] oh I see now [23:25] I should replace the url [23:25] got it [23:25] yep [23:25] that will at least let the refresh finish [23:26] Ok thanks a lot Tom [23:29] starts fast but no repos button ;) [23:30] hmm [23:30] Maybe a typo in that file that you edited? Try starting 'mythbuntu-control-centre' from the command line [23:30] it will print errors to the terminal [23:32] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 754, in get d = self._unify_values(section, vars) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1119, in _unify_values raise NoSectionError(section) configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'General' mythbuntu-control-centr [23:33] bah [23:34] found it = stupid me. [23:34] missing single quote at end of url [23:34] lets see if that works [23:34] you were right about typo! [23:34] ha ok [23:34] I was like, that makes zero sense [23:36] still same error [23:36] File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1119, in _unify_values raise NoSectionError(section) configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'General' [23:36] can you paste the whole error? [23:37] what you pasted is saying that configparser.py can't handle what it was fed (configparser.py is a standard library in python). I need to know what was being fed into it [23:37] because I don't think the format of that db file changed [23:37] you have good instincts -- here you go [23:38] dash it [23:38] cant paste forsome reason probably line length [23:39] ARNING: Failed to set from config file. Setting defaults Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1116, in _unify_values sectiondict = self._sections[section] KeyError: 'General' [23:39] During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu-bare.py", line 85, in captureState self.changes['serverip'] = self.config.get("General", "serverip") File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 754, in get d = self._unify_values(section, vars) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1119, in [23:39] ok [23:39] yea we don't really care about -bare [23:39] any other errors? [23:40] let me try new window [23:42] (mythbuntu-control-centre:3940): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_event: assertion 'WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed [23:43] Can you paste the 20 or so lines? other than the -bare error, none of this is relevent [23:43] there's still no -repos button on the right? [23:44] right but starts fast ;) [23:44] ok do this [23:44] ok starting from the top of errors [23:44] -bare doesn't work, so lets remove it [23:44] Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/MythbuntuControlCentre/plugin.py", line 56, in reload_plugins __import__(plugin, None, None, ['']) File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu_repos.py", line 223 url = 'http://people.ubuntu.com/~tgm4883/repos.db' ^ [23:44] yea, that's the line [23:45] why doesn't it like that line though... [23:45] it is catching an error - is this all about indentation ? [23:45] possibly [23:45] everything does need to be indented properly in python [23:45] I dont know python so could be [23:45] should use spaces, not tabs [23:47] OK [23:50] OK rewrote line but still no repos button [23:51] I must have screwed something up. Let me take a copy of the file from the dvd and use that [23:51] Tom thanks a lot. I very much appreciate this. I wonder why others have not mentioned this [23:53] goodnight Irene ;) [23:54] Im leaving for a bit .. [23:54] k
