| [03:43] <kleewyck> what kernel version is shipped with the 8.10 alternate ISO ? | |
| [03:44] <kleewyck> I'm gettting a LBA48 not supported and it is said that 2.6.26 fixes that. | |
| [03:45] <kleewyck> I have a bit of a catch 22 as the latest driver for my SATA card fixes the issue but I can't get installed to get the patch. | |

| [18:11] <linux_trojan> I recently tried the live CD and tried to watch TV on my pc with has a NVIDAIA and HAUPPAGE card. I wasnt sure quite what to do so I tried several things including FREEVO. Any suggestions on how to watch TV using the Live CD? | |
| [18:12] <superm1> you generally need to set up a backend first | |
| [18:13] <superm1> and then you can watch tv on a frontend from the live cd if you want | |
| [18:13] <superm1> you can try to use VLC on the live cd though for watching tv | |
| [18:13] <linux_trojan> I see, I wasnt sure if it was just plub and play | |
| [18:13] <linux_trojan> can VLC be scheduled to record TV programs? | |
| [18:14] <linux_trojan> automatically change channels, etc? | |
| [18:14] <linux_trojan> which backend do you recommend I use? | |
| [18:17] <superm1> no VLC can't | |
| [18:17] <superm1> if you were just looking for something to try on the live cd its something to try | |
| [18:17] <linux_trojan> yes thats a good idea | |
| [18:17] <superm1> do a full "normal" install of mythbuntu and you will get a backend | |
| [18:17] <superm1> its part of the standard installation | |
| [18:17] <linux_trojan> I see | |
| [18:18] <linux_trojan> its "all or nothing"? | |
| [18:18] <superm1> i'm giving you a solution to your problem is all | |
| [18:18] <superm1> you can install just the backend if you want; that's fine | |
| [18:19] <linux_trojan> I have to take the leap of faith and delete my windows partion | |
| [18:20] <superm1> i'd recommend you use another hard drive | |
| [18:20] <superm1> especially if you are just evaluating this | |
| [18:20] <linux_trojan> I would prefer to use the backend on the CD and fee 100% confortable with it before I delete windows | |
| [18:20] <superm1> the architecture of mythtv unfortunately doesn't allow for that | |
| [18:20] <linux_trojan> ohhhhhh!!!!!!! | |
| [18:21] <linux_trojan> well, I do have another windows box where I can experiment with this | |
| [18:21] <linux_trojan> I have two computers one with HAUPAGGE and another with ATI All in Wonder | |
| [18:21] <superm1> all in wonder isn't support in linux for recording | |
| [18:22] <superm1> unfortunately | |
| [18:22] <linux_trojan> or "All In BLUNDER" as I like to call it | |
| [18:22] <linux_trojan> now you see why I call it the all in BLUNDER? | |
| [18:23] <linux_trojan> I thought I read something on a website that said the FREEVO or somethone did work with All In Wonder but was limited, but did have some features? | |
| [18:24] <linux_trojan> oh I see can view with ATIAW but not record? | |
| [18:37] <linux_trojan> well, I guess that about covers it? you guys dont appear to have a sense of humor | |
| [18:46] <linux_trojan> Its times like this that I actualy consider paying $ for PARTITION MAGIC, I dont like to pay for software | |
| [19:04] <superm1> there is a partitioning tool included with ubuntu disks (i forget if we included one on the mythbuntu disk) | |
| [19:09] <linux_trojan> partitioning tool? | |
| [19:09] <linux_trojan> like cfdisk? | |
| [19:09] <linux_trojan> or fdisk? | |
| [19:09] <linux_trojan> I was refering to something that lets you repartition without destroying data | |
| [19:14] <superm1> gparted | |
| [19:14] <superm1> it lets you repartition without destroying data | |
| [19:22] <linux_trojan> oh really? which linux program lest you do that? | |
| [19:23] <linux_trojan> *lets | |
| [19:23] <linux_trojan> oh sorry, I see it, GPARTED | |
| [19:23] <linux_trojan> never new that, I gotta try it | |
| [19:24] <linux_trojan> ok lets say I install MythTV and the backend is auto installed and configured as you say, which front end do I use? | |
| [19:46] <superm1> one is installed for you with the default install | |
| === croppa_ is now known as croppa | |
| [20:31] <linux_trojan> ok I was just hoping to know what its called, the frontend, so I can know I am doing it right | |
| [21:04] <doje_> I'm trying to get a USB-UIRT working (and I have an ATI remote). I've just tried configuring via the control panel; should I see two instances of lircd running? | |
| [21:32] <bep> how can i start vnc server from the command line? | |
| === _Mazga is now known as Mazga | |
| [21:32] <bep> im using mythbuntu 8.10 and im sshd into the box right now | |
| [21:37] <linux_trojan> bep: you still there? | |
| [21:37] <bep> yes | |
| [21:37] <linux_trojan> I think the command is "vncviewer" | |
| [21:37] <bep> linux_trojan: i mean enable the vnc server | |
| [21:38] <linux_trojan> no to connect to the server | |
| [21:38] <bep> ya, but i need to enable the vnc server on the box first | |
| [21:38] <linux_trojan> is it a windows box? | |

| [21:39] <bep> im in ubuntu trying sshd into the mythbuntu box trying to enable the vnc server on the mythbuntu box | |
| [21:39] <linux_trojan> I see | |
| [21:39] <bep> ignore the trying word | |
| [21:39] <linux_trojan> I usually use linux to view VNC server on a windows box, so I am trying to remember the command | |
| [21:39] <linux_trojan> have you tried typing "vncserver"? | |
| [21:39] <bep> ya, but i cant connect to it | |
| [21:40] <seb_kuzminsky> i installed mythbuntu 8.10, and i want to play the music and videos i have on my linux server on the same network | |
| [21:40] <bep> just says "New 'X' desktop is mythbuntu:2" | |
| [21:40] <seb_kuzminsky> should i mount the server on the myth box? or is there another way to do it? | |
| [21:40] <linux_trojan> I think thats a good thing | |
| [21:40] <bep> ya, but how come when i try to connect it says connection refused | |
| [21:41] <linux_trojan> is ssh server running on the target box? | |
| [21:41] <linux_trojan> brb | |
| [21:41] <bep> linux_trojan: i got it now i just put the ip:screen | |

| [22:47] <MythbuntuGuest04> sorry lost connection, did anyone get a chance to answer my question about my mythbuntu not booting all the way? | |
| [22:48] <giver> doesn;t boot at all? or just stahl until you hit some key? | |
| [22:48] <giver> mine does need esc key to be pressed | |
| [22:48] <giver> to finish booting | |
| [22:49] <MythbuntuGuest04> it goes to the Mythbuntu splash for about 5 seconds then goes into some type of command line and stops, it says something about shell | |
| [22:50] <giver> you changed something befire this happen? | |
| [22:50] <giver> before | |
| [22:51] <MythbuntuGuest04> i was in mythbuntu and tried to scan for new videos it froze up and i rebooted. | |

| [22:55] <giver> omeone else should | |
| [23:05] <dorio_man> It's linux under the hood. If your at a keyboard you can possibly get a virtual termianl ctrl+alt+f1. You can remote in from another machine too. | |
| [23:06] <dorio_man> This will at least tell you if it's frozen or not. If not you can kill the process. | |
| [23:08] <MythbuntuGuest04> it does not get an ip address now, it does not get far enough enough into the process. | |
| [23:08] <MythbuntuGuest04> it flashes Mythbuntu, then shows something that says Debian1:3.1 or something like that, it is a shell prompt | |
| [23:09] <dorio_man> If $ or # then yes | |
| [23:09] <MythbuntuGuest04> ? | |
| [23:10] <dorio_man> Ubuntu and Mythbuntu are based of Debian. | |
| [23:11] <MythbuntuGuest04> so it is stopping before the mythbuntu gets going | |
| [23:12] <dorio_man> Possible. So does it get past the kernel messages. | |
| [23:13] <dorio_man> If your getting an ip you can remote in from another computer. SSH preferable. | |
| [23:13] <MythbuntuGuest04> i get the grub loading, it gets past that, then i get the Mythbuntu splash for about 5 seconds then i get the shell prompt | |
| [23:13] <dorio_man> a # or $ | |
| [23:14] <dorio_man> # is root , $ a user | |
| [23:14] <MythbuntuGuest04> i don't get either | |
| [23:14] <MythbuntuGuest04> it says something like itramfs) | |
| [23:14] <dorio_man> try a command like ls | |
| [23:16] <MythbuntuGuest04> i get the etc modules usr and so on | |
| [23:16] <dorio_man> so linux is running. | |
| [23:16] <MythbuntuGuest04> yes | |
| [23:16] <dorio_man> Did you just install it | |
| [23:17] <MythbuntuGuest04> no it has been installed and running, i was browsing videos in mythtv and it froze so i rebooted and this is what happens | |
| [23:17] <dorio_man> you can find out if your root or not by typing the command whoami | |
| [23:18] <MythbuntuGuest04> it says not found | |
| [23:19] <MythbuntuGuest04> .../n/sh: whoami: not found | |
| [23:19] <dorio_man> ok | |
| [23:19] <dorio_man> Is this the first time reboot since the freeze. | |
| [23:19] <Cew27> anyone here | |
| [23:20] <Cew27> i need help, i installed mythbuntu and have a variety of problems | |
| [23:20] <MythbuntuGuest04> i have done it several times | |
| [23:21] <dorio_man> I know Linux and am installing mythbuntu now. I know there a command you can run to get to the configuration screen. | |
| [23:22] <MythbuntuGuest04> i did make a new directory call smb_videos in my video directory before all of this | |
| [23:22] <dorio_man> Try myth and tab two times. It will bring up a list of all the command which start with myth | |
| [23:23] <dorio_man> Did you do it using the gui? | |
| [23:24] <Cew27> dvd playback in mythbuntu is messed up, i get multiple screens and messed up playback | |
| [23:24] <MythbuntuGuest04> no, i did it in command line, it worked i saw the folder, i watched a movie then went to scan for more videos and it froze | |
| [23:25] <MythbuntuGuest04> myth and two tabss does nothing | |
| [23:27] <dorio_man> nothing? I don't know the command but try scan and hit tab twice. I'm new to mythbuntu too but I know linux. | |
| [23:28] <dorio_man> I get scantv when I type scan and hit tab twice. | |
| [23:29] <MythbuntuGuest04> nothing if i just hit tab twice i get a list of stuff | |
| [23:30] <dorio_man> Cent27 go through some of the configurations. It is probably pointing to the something wrong. There is a good install manual. | |
| [23:30] <MythbuntuGuest04> i dont think any part mythbuntu is present | |
| [23:32] <Cew27> dorio_man: its installed ok i think? | |
| [23:32] <Cew27> problem is my video card only has dvi and vga out, there is no good way to get sound into my tv as its all hdmi inputs | |
| [23:33] <dorio_man> Cew27: Same problem my friend is having with dhmi out | |
| [23:34] <Cew27> dorio_man: what you mean? | |
| [23:35] <dorio_man> Cew27: He is having sound problems and hdmi problems. I thinks it's a configuration problem on his side. | |
| [23:36] <Cew27> im not having problems with it. i just dont know how i can get sound into hdmi | |
| [23:38] <MythbuntuGuest04> busybox v1.1.3 | |
| [23:38] <dorio_man> Cew27: It's in one of the configuration files. My friend finally found it. | |
| [23:38] <Cew27> dorio_man: no, i mean hardware | |
| [23:39] <Cew27> my graphics card only has dvi out | |
| [23:40] <dorio_man> Cew27: I believe you can find it in the configuration. It should pick it up. If I remember right there is a backend configuration too. | |
| [23:41] <Cew27> dorio_man: no.... i dont think you are understanding me | |
| [23:41] <Cew27> i have a dvi to hdmi convertor hooked up | |
| [23:41] <dorio_man> ahh. ok | |
| [23:44] <Cew27> and i dont know how to get sound | |
| [23:45] <dorio_man> I looked it up. From the Info about the converter it should work. There is a lot of configuration files my friend had to go through to get it up and running. | |
| [23:48] <dorio_man> Gave my friend a call. Hopefully he will call back soon and answere the hdmi question. | |
| [23:55] <dorio_man> He says it should work but no sound. | |
