| [02:03] <ffm> Is it realistic to make a mythbuntu machine out of an old 98 beige box? | |
| [02:04] <ffm> (windows 98, shipped in 00 | |
| [02:09] <iamlindoro> ffm: You'll probably have to be more specific about what's in that beige box, but I will predict "no" | |
| [02:10] <ffm> iamlindoro: welll... 256mb ram... /me looks up... | |
| [02:10] <ffm> iamlindoro: Pentium III (Katmai) | |
| [02:10] * ffm moves to #mythtv-users | |
| [02:12] <foxbuntu> ffm, the strait answer is no | |
| [02:13] <foxbuntu> ffm, video encoding/decoding is a very CPU/GPU/Memory intensive process that your old machine has no guts to handle... | |
| [02:13] <ffm> foxbuntu: even sd? | |
| [02:14] <foxbuntu> ffm, even sd, I do mostly SD and my amd 3400+ with commflagging and everything else is maxed out | |
| [02:21] <rhpot1991> I'd argue it depends on what roll the box has | |
| [02:21] <rhpot1991> but as a whole you won't be too happy with performance on it | |
| [02:39] <foxbuntu> rhpot1991, comn...you always disagree with me just cuz you can | |

| [02:52] <foxbuntu> its my 1337ness vs your hippiness | |
| [02:52] <foxbuntu> lol | |
| [02:52] <rhpot1991> now I just need to go through these 120 or so unnamed channels here | |
| [02:52] <rhpot1991> gonna be a pain | |
| [02:52] <rhpot1991> most are prob garbage | |
| [02:52] <foxbuntu> yup | |
| [02:53] <foxbuntu> I need to recover a hdd with a broken partition | |
| [02:53] <rhpot1991> dd it? | |
| [02:53] <foxbuntu> ddrescue | |
| [02:53] <rhpot1991> ya | |
| [02:53] <foxbuntu> yea | |
| [02:53] <foxbuntu> its running now | |
| [02:53] <rhpot1991> I'd do that then see what you can read | |
| [02:53] <rhpot1991> I need to ddrescue another dvd | |
| [02:53] <rhpot1991> freaking sony | |
| [02:54] <foxbuntu> problem is that the partition I have to rescue to is smaller than the amount of data on the other drive so I am hoping to grab the part info from the image and restore the partition | |
| [02:54] <foxbuntu> rather than recover and rebuild it | |
| [02:55] <rhpot1991> ouch | |
| [02:55] <rhpot1991> go buy a mybook to recover with and take it back | |
| [02:55] <rhpot1991> gonna go watch a movie, cya | |
| [02:55] <foxbuntu> later | |

| [09:37] <zenum> Looking at mysql there doesn't seem to be any mythtv databases created... is there a step which creates this? | |

| [10:00] <pobski> any nightowls available to help a noob out with a quick question? | |
| [10:01] <pobski> i guess not. I'll just write it here and check back periodically. I installed mythbuntu following the instruction manual, and got most of the features working well. | |
| [10:02] <pobski> The problem I'm currently having is that my tuner (PVR-150) is only tuning in static to all of the channels i'm tuning in. | |
| [10:04] <pobski> I've searched it quite a bit, but all of the solutions I find aren't pertinent to 8.04. A lot of them refer to an older(I'm guessing) file structure and I'm unable to get it to work well. | |

| [15:05] <MoLE_> I've wondered this myself. I suspect the answer is the same for other metapackages. | |

| [19:12] <MythbuntuGuest55> Hi, quick one: Got myth onto a IBM thinkpad T30, all is fine except DVD/Video play from VGA (LCD SONY 32 TV) out. I see all the control panes and the normal system /firefox etc, but no video playback. Video is playing fine on the laptops internal screen. Any ideas? | |

| [19:38] <Sypher|NL> in your homedir | |
| [19:38] <Sypher|NL> you have a hidden folder named .mythtv | |
| [19:39] <AL-G78> yep found it | |
| [19:39] <AL-G78> so save the file as lircrc do i not need to put an extension on it | |
| [19:41] <Sypher|NL> correct | |

| [19:54] <AL-G78> seems to work fine :-) thanks for that | |
| [19:54] <AL-G78> do you have any idea how i can get it to run in a window, i've checked the option in settings but it still runs full screen | |
| [20:01] <raslac> I'm having trouble with 6channel audio on spdif on my mythbuntu frontend :) Attempting a passthrough to my receiver, but whenver I check the passthrough boxes in mythtv, I get no output at all, instead of the 2channel pcm I get to the receiver. | |
| [20:02] <raslac> I can send 5.1 and dts from mplayer using -channels 6 -ac hwac3 or hwdts -channels 6 as options, but I've tried just about every permutation of choices in mythtv's audio config page. | |
| [20:04] <raslac> any ideas on something I might be missing? | |
| [20:32] <pobski> so i was looking around until pretty late last night, and i couldn't find the solution to my problem | |
| [20:32] <pobski> i go in to the backend setup and configure my capture card, video source, and input | |
| [20:33] <pobski> then I can scan channels and it comes up with the channels my tv normally finds, so i assume it's all good | |
| [20:33] <pobski> after that i go to the frontend, select watch tv, and all i get is static | |
| [20:34] <pobski> my tuner is a PVR-150 (low profile if it matters) and i'm running 8.04 | |
| [20:35] <pobski> has anyone else had a similar problem? i think i double checked the cable plugin about 10 times lol | |
| [20:42] <tgm4883_laptop> pobski, did you scan for channels or get channels from schedules direct? | |
| [20:43] <pobski> i got them from schedules direct | |
| [20:44] <pobski> i tried the different varieties of cable as well hrc irc, i don't really know what they mean though >.< | |
| [20:44] <pobski> there was a post on a forum from about a year ago that said you had to set "option mode = 50" in modprobe.conf | |
| [20:45] <pobski> but being the mythbuntu scrub i am, i don't know where that file is located for me to edit | |

| [23:51] <Berethend_> Hey I'm having a minor problem with my MythTV running in Ubunut 8.04, anyone around to help? I read the sound problems FAQ with no success. I am getting a sound echo on video playback and the only way to correct it is to mute the master audio. Whenever I exit mythtv, the sound "resets" and becomes unmuted again so it's quite a pain to have to mute the master audio every time I want to watch... | |
