| [03:50] <Mythbuntu> when selecting "mythbuntu live environment" system freezes at the progress bar, any suggestions? | |
| [03:50] <android6011> whats up with the website? | |
| [03:51] <CptFuzzy> is there a script to auto-fill movie poster art? | |
| [03:52] <foxbuntu> CptFuzzy, no | |
| [03:52] <foxbuntu> CptFuzzy, your welcome to create one :) | |
| [03:52] <CptFuzzy> lol | |
| [03:53] <foxbuntu> android6011, what do you mean? | |
| [03:53] <foxbuntu> Mythbuntu, try the alternate disk. There are some known issues with certian video cards | |
| [03:54] <android6011> foxbuntu: nvm my bad, i was at http://mythbuntu/ | |
| [03:54] <foxbuntu> android6011, that will prevent proper interwebs browsing ;) | |
| [03:55] <android6011> heh ya | |
| [03:56] <CptFuzzy> anyone tried added comix to the mythtv menu? | |
| [03:56] <foxbuntu> CptFuzzy, what do you mean? | |
| [03:56] <CptFuzzy> to read comix | |
| [03:57] <CptFuzzy> cbr files | |
| [03:57] <Mythbuntu> foxbuntu, please explain what you mean by "try the alternate disk" | |
| [03:57] <foxbuntu> not that I am aware of... | |
| [03:58] <foxbuntu> Mythbuntu, there is a download like for the i386-desktop and i386-alternate disks on the website, download and try the alternate disk if you are trying to install | |
| [03:58] <Mythbuntu> will do, thanks | |
| [06:57] <camelreef> Good morning from Scotland! | |
| [07:01] <camelreef> I was wondering about the -fixes weekly builds for Intrepid | |
| [07:14] <camelreef> I guess my timing is bad, I'll come back tonight | |
| [08:09] <psicobra> Hi i all mythbuntu was runnig great untill the 8.10 update where my mouse stopped working correctly i can't click on any menues i.e the applications menu i can right click but not left click it is set up as a right handed mouse | |
| [13:25] <psicobra> hi since upgrading to 8.10 i have a number of problems one of witch is my sound | |
| [13:25] <psicobra> i have none | |
| [13:25] <psicobra> can some one help | |
| [14:13] <sabhain> !help | |
| [14:13] <Zinn> Use ! followed by a topic to get help on the topic (if it exists) example: !logs. Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi | |
| [14:13] <sabhain> !logs | |
| [14:13] <Zinn> MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ | |
| [14:33] <linux_trojan> I have been trying to download the LIVE Mythbuntu CDs from the website but all have different size files and fail when I try to but the iso to CD, whats the problem? | |
| [14:40] <laga> linux_trojan: try the torrent? | |
| [14:41] <linux_trojan> torrent? | |
| [14:41] <laga> linux_trojan: bittorrent | |
| [14:41] <linux_trojan> I dont have my router setup for torrent | |
| [14:41] <linux_trojan> I dont even have a torrent client | |
| [14:41] <laga> linux_trojan: i can try do reproduce your problem in a few minutes | |
| [14:42] <linux_trojan> k | |
| [14:42] <linux_trojan> someone in Ubuntu chat tells me the problem is burn slower | |
| [14:43] <linux_trojan> but Desktop and Alternate have different file sizes | |
| [14:43] <laga> well | |
| [14:43] <laga> that's intentional. | |
| [14:43] <laga> does the md5sum match? | |
| [14:45] <linux_trojan> I checked yes they match | |
| [14:45] <linux_trojan> intentional? | |
| [14:46] <linux_trojan> it must require slower burning | |
| [14:46] <linux_trojan> ? | |
| [14:47] <linux_trojan> Hey, I logged out by accident | |
| [14:47] <laga> hey | |
| [14:47] <laga> the alternate and the desktop disks are different | |
| [14:48] <laga> so they have different sizes | |
| [14:48] <linux_trojan> so the program features are different? | |
| [14:48] <laga> alternate disk is text mode | |
| [14:48] <linux_trojan> eekk | |
| [14:48] <laga> i recommend the live disk | |
| [14:48] <laga> alternate is broken and will be nuked | |
| [14:48] <linux_trojan> yea the first one, Desktop | |
| [14:48] <jphillip> generally you only want alternate disc if hte live doesn't work for you | |
| [14:49] <linux_trojan> well the checksum definitely matched, so it must be what the other room said? Just burn it slower? | |
| [14:49] <laga> yes | |
| [14:50] <linux_trojan> ok I will give it a shot, bbl, maybe :) | |
| [14:50] <laga> some burn tools like k3b can verify the burn | |
| [14:50] <linux_trojan> yes I might try k3b, thanks | |
| [16:50] <NicEXE> I want to install mythtv on a single PC (I already have a working database on localhost (MySQL)) What do I need to install mythtv? (I am on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) | |
| [16:54] <superm1> you can apt-get install mythtv and then dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database and put in the information for your mysql database Ibelieve | |
| [18:53] <Pat_TLLTS> hello | |
| [18:58] <jphillip> !hi | |
| [18:58] <Zinn> Hi $nick, how are you? Something we can help you with today? | |
| [19:13] <neoneddy> So ANyone riockin HDTV on Myth? | |
| [19:13] <neoneddy> I'm thinking of buying one of these new fangled TV's | |
| [19:25] <jphillip> neoneddy yep | |
| [19:26] <neoneddy> anything I need to be aware of, what is a good tuner card? | |
| [19:27] <jphillip> depends what you want to capture, encryption is a pain on the HD front | |
| [19:29] <jphillip> something like a HDHR works really good, but can only get unencrypted qam, normally only your OTA channels | |
| [19:47] <NicEXE> I want to install mythtv on a single PC (I already have a working database on localhost (MySQL)) What do I need to install mythtv? (I am on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) | |
| [20:05] <superm1> NicEXE, i responded to you | |
| [20:05] <superm1> <superm1> you can apt-get install mythtv and then dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database and put in the information for your mysql database Ibelieve | |
| [20:07] <NicEXE> I did this before but a new MySQL database was installed | |
| [20:08] <superm1> thats fine | |
| [20:08] <superm1> and normal | |
| [20:08] <superm1> just delete the new database | |
| [20:08] <superm1> and use your old one | |
| [20:09] <superm1> it will get the rest of the things in place for it to be working at least | |
| [20:13] <psicobra> hi all since upgrading to mythbuntu 8.10 i have lost my sound any one able to help | |
| [20:14] <laga> psicobra: are you using the nvidia driver? | |
| [20:16] <psicobra> for sound? | |
| [20:16] <psicobra> for my gfx card yes | |
| [20:17] <laga> psicobra: someone was having a weird problem where their only worked when they were not using the nivida driver for their sound card | |
| [20:17] <laga> err, for their VGA card | |
| [20:17] <laga> maybe try removing the nvidia driver? | |
| [20:17] <laga> just to test it | |
| [20:17] <psicobra> but i needs nvidia drivers | |
| [20:18] <laga> yes, hence the "just to test it" ;) | |
| [20:18] <psicobra> ok i deactivated it do i need to reboot | |
| [20:18] <laga> yeah, think so | |
| [20:19] <psicobra> k brb | |
| [20:22] <Keithamus> does anyone else`s screen switch off and on when they change tracks on mythmusic? | |
| [20:31] <psicobra> hi all | |
| [20:31] <psicobra> laga, thanks i fixed it although was nothing to do with nvidia drivers | |
| [20:32] <psicobra> for some reason the master channel in alsamixer was muted had to select it and press m on it and it was all good | |
| [20:33] <laga> ah | |
| [20:33] <laga> great :) | |
| [20:34] <laga> nvidia would have been very unlikely anyways :) | |
| [20:34] <psicobra> yeah don't know why it was muted by default | |
| [20:34] <psicobra> o well | |
| [20:36] <psicobra> maybe u can help me out with a minor problem i had knoppmyth installed to try it out (wasn't impressed) but the one thing i did like was when fast forwarding i could just hold down the fast forward button on my remote controll where as on mythbuntu i have to keep tapping button | |
| [20:37] <laga> hum | |
| [20:38] <laga> hold down the fast forward button? for me it keeps fast forwarding if i push it once | |
| [20:39] <laga> and if i push it again, it goes faster | |
| [20:39] <psicobra> not for me | |
| [20:39] <psicobra> is that on movies | |
| [20:39] <psicobra> not stuff u recorded | |
| [20:39] <laga> ah | |
| [20:39] <laga> that's probably mplayer | |
| [20:40] <laga> and a repeat setting in .lircrc which is responsible for that | |
| [20:40] <psicobra> you know how to fix? | |
| [20:41] <laga> try adding the repeat statements.. see the lirc documentation on those values | |
| [20:41] <laga> you can specify them with mythbuntu-lirc-generator, see mythbuntu-lircrc-generator | |
| [20:42] <psicobra> k thanks | |
| [20:49] <psicobra> laga, your a star thanks mate i sorted all my bugs with ur help | |
| [20:50] <laga> great :) | |
| [21:12] <psicobra> how do i tell if i am running 64 bit edition or not? | |
| [21:13] <laga> what does uname -a say? | |
| [21:14] <psicobra> 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | |
| [21:14] <psicobra> guess 32 bit? | |
| [21:14] <laga> yeah | |
| [21:14] <psicobra> cheers | |
| [21:23] <ZeroDamage> My MythBuntu is now set up but doens't play live tv or anything. Just goes to a blank screen and then back to the menu. Anything I may be over looking? | |
| [21:23] <tgm4883_laptop> !blank% | |
| [21:23] <Zinn> If you try to watch tv and are greeted with a blank screen and a return to the menu then please check the permissions on your recording directory. It should be owned by mythtv:mythtv, have permissions of 775, and not be inside your home directory | |
| [21:29] <ZeroDamage> Zinn, everything is mythtv:mythtv and set to 775 | |
| [21:32] <ZeroDamage> Would there be anything else that would prevent it from working? | |
| [21:37] <superm1> make sure you've ran mythtv-setup then | |
| [21:37] <superm1> and gone all the way through each set of options | |
| [21:44] <jphillip> ZeroDamage make sure its not in your home | |
| [21:44] <ZeroDamage> ? | |
| [21:47] <ZeroDamage> oh, it's not in my /home. It is in the default of /var/lib/mythtv | |
| [21:50] <ZeroDamage> is there a stand alone app that I can use other than mythtv to watch live tv? I've heard of one before but cannot think of it off hand. | |
| [21:55] <Joe3421> MythTV newbie here, I'm trying to import a DVD and it never detects any of the DVD's i put into the drive. Stays at "no jobs. checking and/or waiting for DVD". The DVD drive is seen by the system though. Am i missing a step? | |
| [22:00] <Ward1983> i have a small delay on my video when i press a button on my remote, i use a simple homemade serial receiver | |
| [22:00] <Ward1983> can i somehow fix it, i souldnt mind if the remote had a bit of delay rather then the video | |
| [22:02] <ZeroDamage> Any other Ideas before I go on and try out Linux MCE? | |
| [22:05] <mandje> you should try out linuxMCE anyway. might be it rocks for you. | |
| [22:15] <javatexan> doh...my upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 no worky.. | |
| [22:15] <javatexan> I am getting a give up waiting for root device | |
| [22:15] <javatexan> error | |
| [22:16] <javatexan> after the final reboot after the upgrade is done | |
| [22:25] <ZeroDamage> mythtv def isn't as easy as it should be. | |
| [22:25] <ZeroDamage> it has ways to go to replace windows mce | |
| [22:26] <ZeroDamage> after all the shit, it still will not work. | |
| [23:20] <javatexan> okay it says that the root does not exist | |
| [23:21] <javatexan> and I am at a shell prompt. I looked at /proc/partitions and the partitions are still there..but it cant find the autocreated root=uuid=blahblah how do I set it to hdc1 from this shell prompt at boot? | |
| [23:23] <javatexan> can i burn the 8.10 mythbuntu and do a recover of some kind? | |
| [23:23] <superm1> you can find uuid's by ls -alh /dev/disk/by-uuid | |
| [23:24] <superm1> your UUID should never change though unless you go mucking with your partition table | |
| [23:24] <javatexan> i think it was the old way and when I upgraded to 8.10, it changed it but it made a booboo | |
| [23:25] <javatexan> all I did was do the upgrade to 8.10 in the update manager | |
| [23:25] <javatexan> I promise :) | |
| [23:26] <superm1> well that's... scary then | |
| [23:26] <javatexan> i agree | |
| [23:27] <superm1> so you've got two things you can try | |
| [23:27] <javatexan> alll I said during the upgrade was yes I want to keep the smb.conf as is | |
| [23:27] <javatexan> LOL | |
| [23:27] <superm1> while you're at that shell, go ahead and try to mount /dev/sda1 or whatever your drive is at /mnt | |
| [23:27] <superm1> if you can get it mounted you can try to recover. if not, burn a live disk and you'll do it from there | |
| [23:28] <javatexan> okay.,...hold on ... its in the other room | |
| [23:31] <javatexan> okay that didn't work...it cant find fstab | |
| [23:31] <superm1> so boot off a live disk | |
| [23:31] <superm1> and you can do this diagnosis from the live disk | |
| [23:31] <javatexan> okay. | |
| [23:32] <javatexan> thats what i thought | |
| [23:32] <Joe3421> I'm trying to import a DVD and it never detects any of the DVD's i put into the drive. Stays at "no jobs. checking and/or waiting for DVD". The DVD drive is seen by the system though. Am i missing a step? | |
| [23:33] <superm1> you might need to have libdvdcss2 installed Joe3421 | |
| [23:36] <Joe3421> hmm, isthat on the 8.10 CD? | |
| [23:37] <Joe3421> i did a advanced install and did virtually everythting optional | |
| [23:37] <tgm4883_laptop> Joe3421, no it is not, it is activatable from mythbuntu-control-centre though | |
| [23:39] <Joe3421> thanks i'll give it a shot. I'm one of those die hard windows people trying out someting new for a HTPC :) | |
| [23:53] <Joe3421> okay i installed libdvdcss2 and no change, still dosn't import DVDs. what should i look at next? | |
