[00:10] <Prognatus> Hello,  I have a question, which I have tried to find the answer for, and would be happy if someone knew the answer to or could guide me to where it's written:
[00:10] <Prognatus> Is the Happauge Win-TV-HVR-4000 supported by MythBuntu?
[00:12] <Prognatus> http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_hvr4000.html
[00:14] <Prognatus> ...or MythTV?
[00:23] <benlake>  I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and mythtvbackend fails to start with a symbol lookup error
[00:23] <benlake> I'm fully upgraded, not sure where to start troubleshooting (besides the tidbits google has fed me)
[00:27] <superm1> benlake, look for any packages you manually installed (the local section in synaptic)
[00:27] <superm1> and also any stray make install stuff
[00:27] <superm1> or stuff in /usr/local
[00:28] <benlake> nuvexport is the only thing
[00:29] <superm1> well you can try to ldd mythbackend
[00:29] <superm1> to see where its linking to
[00:31] <benlake> symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0:
[00:31] <benlake> is what I get
[00:31] <benlake> when it fails to start
[00:32] <benlake> hmm when I ldd it it doesn't lis that lib
=== _taz_ is now known as TazgodX
[00:35] <TazgodX> hmm, 8.04 is released
[00:36] <TazgodX> guess ill update
[00:36] <benlake> when you say the local section in Synaptic, are you speaking of everything in Local/free|main|restricted|multiverse ?
[00:37] <tgm4883_laptop> TazgodX, not only is it released
[00:37] <tgm4883_laptop> but you can digg it  http://digg.com/linux_unix/Mythbuntu_8_04_now_available
[00:38] <TazgodX> lol
[00:38] <TazgodX> you alwyas make a digg
[00:38] <TazgodX> it won't surpase teh ubuntu digg release LOL
[00:39] <laga> still, digg it :)
[00:39] <TazgodX> already did
[00:39] <laga> good
[00:41] <benlake> superm1: my only thought is that there is something dangling around from the ppa.launchpad source, synaptic says I have nothing from that source.
[00:41] <benlake> when I upgraded the upgrade manager disabled the ppa.launchpad source ad apparently pulled all the myth stuff from the normal mirrors
[00:43] <TelnetManta> any NA DVBS users in here tonight? Need a comparison question....
[00:51] <benlake> what exactly does it mean when dpkg --get-selection says something is "deinstall"?
[01:01] <destructar> hi all... i just upgraded to 8.04. everything seems to be fine thus far, except that I can't play music with mythmusic
[01:01] <destructar> i get the error "mixer unable to find control master 1"
[01:01] <destructar> (that's the command line error)
[01:02] <destructar> in the gui i get "aacDeoder: failed to open input"
[01:02] <destructar> any help would be awesome
[01:03] <destructar> it should be noted that i can hear audio while watching recordings. I am also unable to play music with rythmbox
[01:04] <destructar> so that error was for an m4a file i think... just tried mp3 and got "DecoderMAD: failed to open input"
[01:05] <dflake_> Is anyone else having problems installing 8.04?
[01:06] <destructar> are you trying to install via cd?
[01:06] <dflake_> yeah
[01:06] <dflake_> it gets to about 80% then crashes
[01:06] <destructar> i wasn't able to ... kept getting "may not be debian" or something like that
[01:06] <destructar> i had to do it via internet which took forever to download for whatever reason
[01:06] <dflake_> how did you get it installed?
[01:06] <laga> bug reports bug reports bug reports!
[01:07] <laga> if you encounter a problem, file a bug report and we'll get to it :)
[01:07] <destructar> install went smooth. I'm just having issues with mythmusic now
[01:07] <destructar> dflake_: i just followed the instructions and everything worked for the internet install
[01:07] <dflake_> instructions from the website? pdf file?
[01:08] <destructar> from ubuntu
[01:08] <destructar> one sec
[01:08] <destructar> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[01:29] <dflake_> top
[01:47] <a1fa> damn :P
[01:48] <a1fa> archive.ubuntu.org is soooooo slow
[01:48] <a1fa> archive.ubuntu.com
[01:48] <a1fa> i mean
[01:55] <tgm4883_laptop> anyone have experience getting an ati igp 320 to do video out?
[02:00] <benlake> s a reinstall of mythbackend going to drop and rebuild the mythconverge db and wipe all config files?
[02:00] <benlake> cause I'm at a loss with this symbol lookup error on mythbackend startup
[02:30] <Krusher00> this is probably a noob mistake, but when I try to play an avi file in my new mythbuntu setup, it comes up with "loading.." and I can hear the sound of the file playing but no picture. Any ideas?
[02:36] <_CT_> I've got a Mythbuntu 7.10 install with the Gnome Desktop installed.  Can I use the Mythbuntu Alternate 8.04 CD to upgrade the install?
[02:39] <_CT_> I've got a Mythbuntu 7.10 install with the Gnome Desktop installed.  Can I use the Mythbuntu Alternate 8.04 CD to upgrade the install?
[02:40] <_CT_> If I've got the Gnome Desktop installed on my Mythbuntu 7.10 do I have the normal Ubuntu Alt install CD?
[02:57] <a1fa> why dont you upgrade through console?
[02:57] <a1fa> or update manager?
[02:57] <a1fa> and stop repeating yourself every 5minutes
[02:59] <Krusher00> ^2nded
[03:00] <Krusher00> !seen laga
[03:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen laga - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:00] <Krusher00> oh, he's already here haha
[03:15] <tgm4883_laptop> can anyone help me get an external monitor working with the open source radeon driver?
[03:33] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: nope :P
[03:33] <rhpot1991> also are you being serious?
[03:42] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, yes
[03:49] <rhpot1991> tgm4883_laptop: dunno how much help it is, but back in the day I always did xinerama with my ati card (non open source drivers)
[03:49] <tgm4883_laptop> rhpot1991, unfortunatly my card isn't supported in the fglrx driver :(
=== otwin__ is now known as otwin
[03:50] <rhpot1991> xinerama used to work with the open source driver as well, but I think its depracated now and there are other ways of doing multiple monitors
[03:51] <tgm4883_laptop> well i really don't want to do multiple monitors, I want to turn this old laptop into a frontend
[03:52] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[03:54] <tgm4883_laptop> I was finally able to get the opensource radeon wiki page to open
[03:54] <tgm4883_laptop> hopefully it will shed some light on this
[04:04] <mxpower> anyone got a tip on why my vnc session keeps refusing connections?
[04:05] <tgm4883_laptop> mxpower, sec
[04:06] <mxpower> heya tgm :)
[04:06] <tgm4883_laptop> mxpower, http://www.mythbuntu.org/8.04/upgrade_notes
[04:09] <mxpower> ok, how do i access the mythbuntu control center? I went through the screen config menu, but nothing about vnc is there
[04:09] <mxpower> nm got it
[04:09] <mxpower> :)
[04:11] <mxpower> man, update servers are brutally slow tonight :(
[04:11] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
=== otwin__ is now known as otwin
[04:15] <pdragon> someone show'd be a trick to get a better one. Go to the Repositories section of Synaptic
[04:15] <pdragon> under the Ubuntu Software tab, in the Download From dropdown choose Other...
[04:16] <pdragon> a box pops up. Hit the Select Best Server button
[04:16] <pdragon> it'll go through and ping all the servers and you can pick the best one :)
[04:17] <pdragon> gave him some mirror in Canada and he was downloading at full speed
[04:17] <tgm4883_laptop> bollocks!
[04:17] <tgm4883_laptop> there are no better mirrors than archive.org
[04:17] <pdragon> haha
[04:19] <tgm4883_laptop> pdragon, actually this website has a search feature that allows you to find the mirror with the greatest connection speed, not just by ping time http://www.interenetisseriousbusiness.com
[04:28] <tgm4883_laptop> pdragon, still there?
[04:29] <pdragon> yeah
[04:29] <pdragon> cool
[04:29] <tgm4883_laptop> sorry about the link
[04:29] <pdragon> someone just told me about the synaptic tool earlier tonight
[04:29] <pdragon> said it worked great for him
[04:29] <tgm4883_laptop> yea it does
[04:29] <Krusher00> tgm4883_laptop, why not download the one from www.epicwinrar.com ?
[04:30] <tgm4883_laptop> bah
[04:30] <tgm4883_laptop> no epicwinrar
[04:32]  * tgm4883_laptop stabs Krusher00 
[04:32] <Krusher00> :-)
[05:49] <mr_legan> I thought there were some gui buttons on the bottom of the configuration screens, they seem to be scaled off the screen
[06:21] <emja> Can anyone point me to info about how to get the mythbuntu video manager to work behind a http proxy?
[06:35] <benlake> is there a package name for the control centre?
[06:37] <benlake> got it: mythbuntu-control-centre
[07:27] <emja> hmm... /etc/profile worked, but /etc/profile.d didn't
[07:32] <hugolp> hi, I cant find the configuration file for the backend
[07:32] <hugolp> can someone tell me where it is?
[07:37] <emja> dang. forgot 'export blah'
[07:39] <emja> hugolp: probably in /usr/share/mythtv/
[07:40] <hugolp> emja:  it was a file where I had to put -no-upnp for the mythbackend
[07:40] <hugolp> I have allredy checked that folder
[07:40] <emja> hugolp: so you're looking for how myth is started?
[07:41] <hugolp> emja:  yes
[07:41] <hugolp> mythbackend freezes the server if I dont use that option
[07:41] <emja> depends on your distro, wm, etc
[07:42] <hugolp> ubuntu hardy
[07:42] <emja> which wm?
[07:42] <hugolp> what wm?
[07:42] <hugolp> whats wm?
[07:43] <emja> window manager. KDE, Gnome, fvwm, IceWM, etc
[07:45] <hugolp> gnome, but once I have the server configured I boot it without graphic mode
[07:46] <emja> hang on. you're talking about mythBACKend, right? then you'll want /etc/initd./mythbackend
[07:46] <emja> err... /etc/init.d/mythbackend
[07:46] <emja> sorry. wrong again. /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend   :-}
[07:48] <hugolp> yes, but thats the executable file to restart/stop/etc the backend
[07:48] <hugolp> I am looking for the configuration file of the backend
[07:49] <hugolp> someone here pointed me to it when I upgraded to .21 in gutsy
[07:51] <hugolp> but I cant find it now
[07:55] <hugolp> brb
[08:00] <hugolp> back
[08:55] <skull-DT> hello
=== otwin_ is now known as otwin
=== MythbuntuGuest39 is now known as S|eepy
[09:54] <S|eepy> Morning al!
[09:55] <S|eepy> looking to switch over to mythbuntu but cant seem to find out if it supports my FloppyDTV DVB-S2 card?
[09:56] <S|eepy> Anyone any idea if it will work?
[09:57] <laga> S|eepy: have you checked the linuxtv wiki?
[09:59] <S|eepy> Yeah says unsupported - just hoped maybe it was outdated
[09:59] <S|eepy> Or someone had managed to get it working
[10:00] <S|eepy> Guess im stuck with WIndows :(
[10:02] <S|eepy> in windows it uses BDA drivers (generic i think?) so can mythbuntu not do the same?
[10:02] <laga> S|eepy: make sure to ask the manufacturer why they don't support linux
[10:02] <laga> S|eepy: linux is a completely different OS with a different architecture, driver API etc
[10:02] <laga> that won't work
[10:02] <S|eepy> i can see some old threads on forum and they released driver code as open source
[10:03] <S|eepy> but seems nobody took it up and developed any :(
[10:03] <laga> i find that hard to believe
[10:03] <laga> do you have an URL?
[10:03] <S|eepy> www.digital-everywhere.com is the m/d
[10:03] <S|eepy> let me find url for open source driver code
[10:06] <S|eepy> umm cant find it - will keep looking
[10:09] <S|eepy> ahh this maybe it!
[10:09] <S|eepy> http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2006-February/120746.html
[10:16] <laga> i'm amazed nobody has posted a follow-up
[10:18] <laga> ah, i've found the thread on the linuxTV ml
[10:18] <laga> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/23472/focus=23478
[10:18] <laga> doesn't look too promising
[10:20] <laga> there are several other postings wrt updating the driver, but nobody seemed to be interested
[10:56] <emja> what tool does myth use to download the movie poster (in video manager)? my system won't download the poster, but it happily retrieves all the metadata, including the postername.
[11:17] <laga> emja: imd.pl
[11:17] <laga>  /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl AFAIK
[11:17] <emja> laga: thx, but that seems to only retrieve the poster name, not the poster itself
[11:23] <hugolp> can someone tell me where the back end configuration file is?
[11:23] <hugolp> I need to add a boot option for the back-end and I dont remember where the file is
[11:24] <emja> hugolp: look at the ARGS variable in /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend
[11:25] <laga> there's an EXTRA_ARGS varialble, that's better
[11:25] <hugolp> emja:  ok, has this changed? in gutsy 0.21 was different
[11:26] <laga> and it's in /etc/default/mythtv-backend
[11:26] <hugolp> thats the one
[11:26] <hugolp> thanks
[11:26] <emja> ok, so I just learnt something new. ;-)
[11:27]  * emja goes back to his imdb poster download problem
[11:30] <hugolp> laga: where can I found docs about the arguments?
[11:30] <laga> hugolp: mythbackend --help
[11:35] <dbmister> is anyone having problems with the new mythbuntu hardy heron?
[11:36] <laga> !ask
[11:36] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[11:36] <dbmister> i currently cant scan for any dvb-t channels in mythtv setup, hardware is working ok as i can watch tv through mplayer
[11:37] <dbmister> it comes up as timeout error
[11:37] <dbmister> when scanning for channels
[11:37] <dbmister> ubotu: ok, sorry
[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ok, sorry - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:39] <hugolp> dbmister:  dvb-t channel scan works here
[11:39] <hugolp> clean hardy install
[11:40] <laga> i assume mythbackend isn't running?
[11:40] <hugolp> brb
[11:51] <rockhound> good day ... anyone else have mythfrontend die after scalling images after doing a full upgrade from 07.10 to 8.04?
[11:53] <dbmister> hugolp: i have a hauppuage hvr-1110?
[11:53] <dbmister> laga: backend is running
[11:59] <laga> dbmister: stop it
[11:59] <laga> rockhound: check the logs in  /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
[12:00] <rockhound> laga: will do once I have access to the system again ... ;-) thanks for the pointer
[12:10] <koudelka> hello, does mythbuntu use pulse audio?
[13:09] <fstxx> mythbuntu guided partiotion creates an ext3 partition - is taht good?
[13:09] <laga> depends. for your recordings store, i'd recommend xfs.
[13:10] <laga> we didn't get around to fixing this for this release, we'll try to add it in 8.10 :)
[13:11] <fstxx> laga: Yes, i will do that. Are there more things I should be aware of?
[13:12] <laga> no, i don't think so. if you've got the space to spare, you can make a 1-2GB partition for /var/lib/mysql/ to ensure it never gets full. of course, that's a bit overkill but it can be a good idea :)
[13:13] <fstxx> laga: if I want to have two filesystems, one root and one for recordings, music, and all other data, how large does the root need to be?
[13:13] <fstxx> laga: and where should the other parttition be mounted?
[13:15] <laga> good question. :)
[13:15] <laga> let's see if there is something in the manual
[13:17] <laga> no, there isn't.
[13:17] <laga> bad documentation monkeys.
[13:17] <fstxx> laga: I don't see anything at all about partioning in the manual.
[13:17] <laga> fstxx: 6-10GB should be enough for everything including /var/lib/mysql
[13:18] <laga> and the recordings directory should be mounted in.. let's see
[13:18] <laga>  /var/lib/mythtv/ is a good call, but i'm verifying the plugin directories now
[13:22] <laga> fstxx: yeah /var/lib/mythtv/ contains all the recordings
[13:22] <laga> and plugin data
[13:22] <fstxx> laga: thanks
[13:23] <laga> i'd say with 10GB for / and the rest for /var/lib/mythtv/ you're on the safe side
[13:23] <laga> it's often a good idea to have a separate /home
[13:23] <laga> so you don't lose that when you reinstall.
[13:23] <laga> although you don't store many data in /home in a typical mythtv install, mostly channel icons and maybe xmltv config files
[13:24] <fstxx> I did 16G /, 8 G swap, 16 G spare, rest for xfs
[13:24] <fstxx> laga: you say when, not if, :-)
[13:24] <laga> 8G swap? that's massive :)
[13:25] <laga> fstxx: oops. :)
[13:26] <fstxx> laga: well I still follow the old rule, twice the max ram than machine can handle
[13:28] <laga> fstxx: my ubuntu boxes usually run really well. then i try to do something very weird and end up reinstalling, which is why /home is separate here :)
[13:31] <fstxx> laga: it's not a bad idea.
[13:34] <fstxx> laga: is the mythbuntu default to run without swap sapce at all? Do you?
[13:34] <laga> no
[14:45] <MythbuntuGuest79> Some of you tried to change the mythbroser to firefox on Mythbynty 8.04?
[14:46] <MythbuntuGuest79> I could not make work
[14:51] <laga> people have been posting about it on the forunms
[14:51] <laga> maybe you want to subscribe to those threads
[14:58] <psicobra> hi all
[14:58] <psicobra> i have installed mythbuntu and it seems to be configured correctly for the most part
[14:59] <psicobra> it has picked up my tv card and scanned all the channels but when i try and view them the screen goes black then quits back to main menu does the same for dvd's
[14:59] <psicobra> any help
[15:02] <laga> psicobra: check /var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log for hints
[15:05] <psicobra> laga, checking now u want me to pastebin it?
[15:06] <psicobra> encrypted dvd support unavalible
[15:08] <laga> psicobra: sure
[15:09] <psicobra> laga, http://pastebin.com/m397aa8cb
[15:09] <psicobra> thanks
[15:12] <psicobra> any joy laga
[15:13] <laga> psicobra: for tv, you need to fix your backend setup
[15:13] <laga> eg look around line 120
[15:13] <laga> the error messages there
[15:13] <laga> for a master backend, *both* entries for IP addresses in mythtv-setup need to have the same value
[15:14] <psicobra> sow how i change that
[15:15] <laga> you can change that by running mythtv-setup
[15:17] <psicobra> ok what should i change it to/
[15:18] <psicobra> my local i.p i.e 192.169.11.11?
[15:18] <laga> yeah
[15:18] <laga> or 127.0.0.1
[15:18] <laga> if you don't have other computers on your network using mythtv
[15:19] <psicobra> this is the only pc on my network with myth TV installed
[15:20] <psicobra> and the i.p address is already set to 127.0.0.1
[15:21] <psicobra> so whats next?
[15:24] <psicobra> laga, sorry to be a pain i am trying my best honest
[15:24] <laga> on that page
[15:24] <laga> there are two fields for ip addresses
[15:24] <laga> one for the address of that computer
[15:24] <psicobra> yes
[15:24] <laga> and one for the master backend
[15:25] <psicobra> yes
[15:25] <laga> both need to be set to the same value
[15:25] <psicobra> they are
[15:25] <psicobra> but ports are different
[15:25] <laga> don't change the ports from the default
[15:25] <psicobra> i haven't
[15:26] <laga> good
[15:26] <laga> then everything should work now, hopefully
[15:26] <psicobra> both are 127.0.0.1
[15:26] <psicobra> they were already set that way
[15:27] <psicobra> no tried again any ways still not working
[15:27] <laga> did you restart the backend?
[15:27] <psicobra> i think it did it automatically
[15:28] <psicobra> how do i restart
[15:28] <laga> yes, it should restart the backend automagically
[15:29] <psicobra> ok then it's still not working
[15:29] <laga> still with the same error message?
[15:29] <psicobra> still doing the same thing
[15:29] <psicobra> click on tv goes black for a second and then quits to main menue
[15:30] <laga> new entries in the log file?
[15:32] <psicobra> 2008-04-26 15:26:39.686 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost
[15:33] <psicobra> http://pastebin.com/m37874821
[15:34] <laga> ah, a different error message.
[15:34] <laga> psicobra: /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log is now interesting
[15:35] <psicobra> yes i postedit in the pastebin
[15:35] <laga> superm1: that's not the backend log
[15:37] <psicobra> http://pastebin.com/m160aee3d
[15:39] <psicobra> that better
[15:42] <psicobra> /home/andy/livetv/', but this directory is not writeable
[15:42] <psicobra> would that be it laga
[15:48] <laga> yeah
[15:48] <laga> mythbackend run as the "mythtv" user
[15:48] <laga> so you need to set the permissions for that directory accordingly
[15:50] <psicobra> i just changed them manually and now i can watch tv perfectly
[15:50] <psicobra> but DVD still not working
[15:51] <laga> psicobra: your dvd is most likely "copy-protected". if your legislation doesn't prevent you from watching the dvds you've legally bought on your computer, you can install the dvdcss package in mythbuntu-control-centre
[15:51] <laga> but of course, many countries don't allow thaz
[15:51] <laga> that*

[16:21] <hugolp> anyone has found a solution for the Nova-T-500 and Hardy?
[16:34] <psicobra> laga, thanks for all your help i sorted it
[16:34] <psicobra> please don't ask what the problem was with the DVd
[16:39] <laga> psicobra: okay.
[16:39] <laga> what was the problem? :)
[16:39] <psicobra> i didn't have a dvd disk in the drive
[16:39] <psicobra> :(
[16:39] <laga> yes, that'd explain it :)
[16:39] <psicobra> i did have 1 but then i swapped it to install my wifi drivers and forgot
[17:02] <hugolp> so I am guessing there is no solution for the Nova-T-500 in Hardy?

[20:13] <mxpower> wierd question, I dont have a remote so i use a laptop to control my mythbuntu through vnc, is there a way to control the volume using keyboard commands?
[20:14] <olov> hello
[20:15] <mxpower> :)
[20:15] <mxpower> heya
[20:15] <olov> i recently upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and now I get the following error trying to start mythfrontend: /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmythavcodec-0.21.so.0: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen     :(
[20:16] <mxpower> not many awake right now olov, and im a newby :(
[20:18] <olov> i see, it is evening here about 9pm...
[20:28] <laga> olov: that's a known issue, kind of.
[20:29] <laga> olov: although i'm not sure what's causing it
[20:31] <olov> laga: is there anything i can do, besides reinstalling?
[20:34] <laga> olov: try reinstalling libmyth-0.21-0 and mythtv-frontend, eg sudo aptitude reinstall <package>
[20:34] <laga> olov: i assume you were using the weekly builds repository before upgrading?
[20:44] <olov> laga: E: I wasn't able to locate file for the libmyth-0.21-0 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package
[20:45] <laga> olov: what does apt-cache policy libmyth-0.21-0 say?
[20:48] <olov> libmyth-0.21-0:
[20:48] <olov>   Installed: 0.21.0+fixes17120-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2
[20:48] <olov>   Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes17120-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2

[20:48] <olov>         500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages
[20:49] <laga> hum
[20:49] <laga> i'll have to try to verify that in a VM
[20:50] <laga> olov: you can folow this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765725
[20:50] <laga> olov: in the mean time
[20:50] <laga> olov: can you try downgrading mythtv?
[20:51] <laga> olov: sudo aptitude install mythtv-common=0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3 mythtv-frontend=0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3 libmyth-0.21-0=0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3
[20:51] <laga> etc
[20:51] <laga> that ought to work
[20:51] <olov> ok, i will try...
[20:56] <Prognatus> Anybody know if the TV chip on Happauge Win-TV-PVR-4000 is the same as on Win-TV-PVR-350?
[20:57] <olov> laga: downgrading helped... a lot... :) i can now start mythtv, both front and backend...
[20:57] <laga> olov: great
[20:58] <olov> laga: thank you !!!
[20:59] <laga> olov: if you're registered in the forums, maybe you can post your workaround
[21:00] <laga> olov: but you were using the weekly builds, correct?
[21:01] <olov> laga: not sure, can I check?
[21:01] <laga> olov: try looking in /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:02] <olov> laga: what in the list am I looking for? keywords?
[21:03] <laga> olov: maybe you can just pastebin the whole thing, there are some mirrors for it
[21:05] <olov> I seem to have: hardy main, hardy-updates, hardy-security, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed (and src for all of them) all from se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[21:05] <Prognatus> Is anyone here using Happauge 1300?  It's listed on this page, but I wonder if there are any problems with it? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV/Install/Gutsy/Tuners
[21:05] <laga> olov: nothing else?
[21:06] <laga> olov: maybe something in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[21:06] <olov> laga: nothing more in /etc/apt/sources.list, I'll take a look in the next one..
[21:09] <LeeSharp> Anyone got a minute to help a Myth newbie?
[21:09] <olov> laga: in medibuntu.list.save: deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free    and in medibuntu.list.distUpgrade: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free   thats it...
[21:10] <olov> laga: what would weekly builds look like?
[21:10] <abarbaccia-lapto> LeeSharp: what are you trying to do
[21:10] <abarbaccia-lapto> LeeSharp: just ask the quesiton
[21:11] <laga> olov: mine looks like "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu hardy main
[21:11] <laga> "
[21:11] <laga> olov: but you must have been using the weekly builds for gutsy, then you upgraded and that caused the problem i think..
[21:12] <olov> laga: am I likely to run into this problem again?
[21:13] <laga> olov: i don't think so. does it ask you to upgrade mythtv now if you run whatever you usually to update your system?
[21:14] <olov> laga: no
[21:14] <laga> olov: do you have any other files which look like a sources.list in /etc/apt/? maybe with a "old" suffix or something.
[21:14] <laga> olov: okay, then you should be fine
[21:15] <LeeSharp> I just installed a new front/back from the real hardy live cd.  I had to manually specify my monitor and now when I go to the desktop, my font is too small. (Like 2)  Anyone seen this?  I am a Gnome users, and don't know xfe well.
[21:20] <olov> laga: i do have this line in sources.list.distUpgrade:  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse  and I have the same but marked out ( # ) in sources.list etc..
[21:21] <laga> olov: that'd explain a few things. how annoying.. :/
[21:22] <olov> laga: I think I might have turned something on to get a mythtv upgrade a few months back, possibly this? thanx again for helping me solve my mess :)
[21:23] <laga> olov: yeah.
[21:23] <laga> olov: it's not exactly your fault, it's just an annoying upgrade probkem
[21:24] <LeeSharp> Any hint on my small font problem, or should it try an reinstall?
[21:27] <laga> LeeSharp: what's the DPI of your monitor? check with 'xdpyinfo' in a terminal
[21:29] <LeeSharp> It is an old 24 inch dell.  I set it as 1024x768 as the max res, and the user is at 1024x768.
[21:33] <laga> LeeSharp: yes, but what's the DPI setting?
[22:48] <MythbuntuGuest14> hi
[22:49] <MythbuntuGuest14> kommt hier jmd aus deutschland oder should i talk in english?
[22:49] <laga> english is preferred
[22:50] <MythbuntuGuest14> k
[22:50] <MythbuntuGuest14> I tired to make my Happauge nova s plus run under mythbuntu 8.04
[22:51] <MythbuntuGuest14> the card is show in the mythbuntu setup as analog V4l-tv-karte
[22:51] <MythbuntuGuest14> but it didn#t find a channel or even a signal :(
[22:52] <laga> because you need to set it up as a DTV 3.x card
[22:55] <MythbuntuGuest14> k, device number is set to 0 , "signalüberschreitung" 60000 ms and time"überschreitung" is set to 62500
[22:55] <MythbuntuGuest14> have i configure somethng else?
[22:58] <MythbuntuGuest14> which frequency (khz) need I to use?
[23:00] <laga> 23:56 < Falballa`> laga: 'astra' could be (#1) scanfrequenzen fuer ASTRA19.2?E - 12551500 (frequency), vertikal (polarity), 22000000 (symbol rate), qpsk (modulation), or (#2) <http://www1.digitalfernsehen.de/frequenzen/astra1.html>, or (#3)
[23:03] <MythbuntuGuest14> hmm, where are no errors, but die pc also don't search something :(
[23:04] <MythbuntuGuest14> videosource is sat, or?
[23:05] <laga> depends how you called it ;)
[23:05] <MythbuntuGuest14> I see
[23:08] <MythbuntuGuest14> but it didn't work :(
[23:09] <MythbuntuGuest14> and when is try to scan all transponders, where are a error at the transpoder frequency
[23:15] <MythbuntuGuest14> the card show me also that there's no signal input, but the sat-calbe is plugged in and my test-reciever shows me the channels
[23:16] <laga> try looking at the backend logs or try a different tool to check if your tv card works, like 'scan' from the dvb-utils package
[23:19] <SgtPepper> anyone know of some reference on Mythbuntu setup on a RAID 5?  I know I need to setup RAID1 for boot but cant seem to make it work.
[23:20] <MythbuntuGuest14> how can i use scan? what have i to type in the terminal?
[23:24] <MythbuntuGuest14> lspci shows me that the card is installed
