[22:57] <qwebirc21175> 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] <qwebirc21175> By the way sorry to hear that Mythbuntu is  getting no further updates.  Was same with Kmoppix
[22:58] <qwebirc21175> Knopmyth
[22:59] <tgm4883> 14.04? Did you post this question on the forums too?
[22:59] <qwebirc21175> no I did not
[22:59] <tgm4883> hmm, ok
[22:59] <qwebirc21175> I have searched for an answer there but there is nothing I can find
[23:00] <tgm4883> 14.04 should work I think. I wonder if it's trying to refresh the db list
[23:00] <tgm4883> refreshing the mythtv updates list would hang I think
[23:01] <qwebirc21175> I have done that several times. Erased the disk, started with 14.04 LTS
[23:01] <tgm4883> Yea that's not something... Any reason you aren't going to 16.04?
[23:01] <qwebirc21175> also get the same response if I try to do this from a DVD in the Try mode
[23:01] <qwebirc21175>  suspect some kind of access problem
[23:02] <qwebirc21175> as in the repos it is trying to get to are someplace else
[23:02] <tgm4883> Any reason you aren't going to 16.04?
[23:02] <qwebirc21175> experience shows provocative maintennce is asking for trouble ;)
[23:02] <qwebirc21175> maintenance
[23:03] <tgm4883> hmm, ok
[23:03] <qwebirc21175> also comments about 16.04 show problems
[23:03] <qwebirc21175> and reduced quality so concerned about upgrading until stabilizes
[23:03] <tgm4883> well the refresh button isn't working because I moved the location that was hosting that db file
[23:03] <qwebirc21175> well that might be it ;)
[23:04] <tgm4883> There's a file you can edit to point it at the right location
[23:04] <qwebirc21175> is there a place to change the location in the mcc script ?
[23:04] <tgm4883> Let me look it up
[23:04] <qwebirc21175> ta very much
[23:05] <qwebirc21175> Hey TGM thanks for what you have done for community with this system
[23:06] <qwebirc21175> 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] <qwebirc21175> place == Internet
[23:07] <qwebirc21175> Oh you are Thomas Mashos
[23:13] <tgm4883> heh, yea
[23:14] <tgm4883> Sorry, let me look at up in a few minutes, finishing something else currently
[23:14] <qwebirc21175> OK
[23:14] <qwebirc21175> Missis is calling, will leave chat open if that is OK
[23:14] <tgm4883> off the top of my head, I think /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/py/  is that a directory?
[23:15] <qwebirc21175> not on my machine
[23:15] <qwebirc21175> it is /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python
[23:15] <tgm4883> ah yea
[23:15] <tgm4883> what files are in there?
[23:15] <qwebirc21175> 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] <tgm4883> mythbuntu_repos.py
[23:16] <tgm4883> edit that, look for a line that has repos.db in it
[23:16] <tgm4883> should be a URL
[23:17] <qwebirc21175> #shutil.copy("/usr/share/mythbuntu/repos.db", self.USERHOME+"/.mythbuntu/")
[23:17] <tgm4883> nope
[23:17] <qwebirc21175> only occurence
[23:17] <tgm4883> hmm
[23:17] <tgm4883> ok, let me dig into it, give me a few minutes
[23:17] <qwebirc21175> do you think it is in the mcc script ?
[23:18] <tgm4883> no, it should be there I think
[23:18] <qwebirc21175> OK. Get a beer - diffing gets easier ;)
[23:18] <qwebirc21175> digging
[23:18] <tgm4883> unless I pulled it out into a conf file
[23:18] <qwebirc21175> clearly I already got mine
[23:21] <tgm4883> qwebirc21175: actually, can you do 'cat /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu_repos.py | nc termbin.com 9999'
[23:21] <tgm4883> 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] <qwebirc21175> http://termbin.com/t92s
[23:23] <tgm4883> There it is
[23:23] <tgm4883> http://download.mythbuntu.org/repos/repos.db
[23:23] <tgm4883> That needs updated
[23:23] <tgm4883> about 3/4 way down
[23:23] <qwebirc21175> Sorry Tom, what am I updating ?
[23:24] <qwebirc21175> you mean in this file /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/mythbuntu_repos.py
[23:24] <tgm4883> yea
[23:24] <tgm4883> that file needs updated
[23:24] <tgm4883> It should be this instead
[23:25] <tgm4883> http://people.ubuntu.com/~tgm4883/repos.db
[23:25] <qwebirc21175> oh I see now
[23:25] <qwebirc21175> I should replace the url
[23:25] <qwebirc21175> got it
[23:25] <tgm4883> yep
[23:25] <tgm4883> that will at least let the refresh finish
[23:26] <qwebirc21175> Ok thanks a lot Tom
[23:29] <qwebirc21175> starts fast but no repos button ;)
[23:30] <tgm4883> hmm
[23:30] <tgm4883> Maybe a typo in that file that you edited? Try starting 'mythbuntu-control-centre' from the command line
[23:30] <tgm4883> it will print errors to the terminal
[23:32] <qwebirc21175> 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] <tgm4883> bah
[23:34] <qwebirc21175> found it = stupid me.
[23:34] <qwebirc21175> missing single quote at end of url
[23:34] <qwebirc21175> lets see if that works
[23:34] <qwebirc21175> you were right about typo!
[23:34] <tgm4883> ha ok
[23:34] <tgm4883> I was like, that makes zero sense
[23:36] <qwebirc21175> still same error
[23:36] <qwebirc21175> File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1119, in _unify_values     raise NoSectionError(section) configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'General'
[23:36] <tgm4883> can you paste the whole error?
[23:37] <tgm4883> 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] <tgm4883> because I don't think the format of that db file changed
[23:37] <qwebirc21175> you have good instincts -- here you go
[23:38] <qwebirc21175> dash it
[23:38] <qwebirc21175> cant paste forsome reason probably line length

[23:39] <tgm4883> ok
[23:39] <tgm4883> yea we don't really care about -bare
[23:39] <tgm4883> any other errors?
[23:40] <qwebirc21175> let me try new window

[23:43] <tgm4883> there's still no -repos button on the right?
[23:44] <qwebirc21175> right but starts fast ;)
[23:44] <tgm4883> ok do this
[23:44] <qwebirc21175> ok starting from the top of errors
[23:44] <tgm4883> -bare doesn't work, so lets remove it

[23:44] <tgm4883> yea, that's the line
[23:45] <tgm4883> why doesn't it like that line though...
[23:45] <qwebirc21175> it is catching an error - is this all about indentation ?
[23:45] <tgm4883> possibly
[23:45] <tgm4883> everything does need to be indented properly in python
[23:45] <qwebirc21175> I dont know python so could be
[23:45] <tgm4883> should use spaces, not tabs
[23:47] <qwebirc21175> OK
[23:50] <qwebirc21175> OK rewrote line but still no repos button
[23:51] <qwebirc21175> I must have screwed  something up.  Let me take a copy of the file from the dvd and use that
[23:51] <qwebirc21175> Tom thanks a lot.  I very much appreciate this.  I wonder why others have not mentioned this
[23:53] <qwebirc21175> goodnight Irene ;)
[23:54] <qwebirc21175> Im leaving for a bit ..
[23:54] <tgm4883> k
