| [02:13] <wos> anyone here? | |
| [02:32] <wos> could anyone tell me if ubuntu and mythbuntu are the same thing basically if you take out the TV features? | |
| [02:35] <tgm4883_laptop> wos, kinda | |
| [02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> I mean, they have different things installed | |
| [02:36] <tgm4883_laptop> but underneath, they run the same kernel | |
| [02:37] <wos> tgm4883_laptop, could i get support for mythbuntu in the ubuntu channel, for non tv related problems? | |
| [02:38] <foxbuntu> wos, yes, for the most part, but folks here know a little more than MythTV | |
| [02:39] <hads> Mythbuntu is Ubuntu, it's all the same packages. | |
| [02:39] <wos> oh cool | |
| [02:39] <foxbuntu> essentially | |
| [02:39] <wos> then why is there a separate install CD? | |
| [02:40] <hads> Same reason there;'s Kubuntu etc. | |
| [02:40] <wos> yes but Kubuntu has a lot of differences | |
| [02:40] <foxbuntu> its customized to the user groups, to make it very easy | |
| [02:41] <foxbuntu> believe me when I say there is allot of differences between Ubuntu and Mythbuntu | |
| [02:41] <hads> wos: Kubuntu is the same also, it's all the same packages. | |
| [02:41] <hads> It's one repository. | |
| [02:41] <foxbuntu> hads, I think that might be confusing for someone not knowing what the packages are | |
| [02:42] <wos> kubuntu has separate packages for certain items though | |
| [02:42] <hads> As does Mythbuntu, but you can install any of them on any install. | |
| [02:42] <foxbuntu> wos, the point hads is making is that they all reside in the same repository | |
| [02:42] <hads> foxbuntu: *shrug* I guess it could be, doesn't seem confusing to me. | |
| [02:43] <foxbuntu> hads, nor me | |
| [02:43] <foxbuntu> :) | |
| [02:43] <hads> :) | |
| [02:43] <wos> does mythbuntu have a different user interface? | |
| [02:43] <foxbuntu> its XFCE | |
| [02:43] <foxbuntu> so like Xubuntu | |
| [02:43] <hads> Just with a customised theme etc. | |
| [02:43] <foxbuntu> indeed | |
| [02:44] <hads> From a package ;) | |
| [02:44] <foxbuntu> haha | |
| [02:44] <wos> its xfce? fxck | |
| [02:44] <foxbuntu> wos, ? | |
| [02:44] <foxbuntu> wos, its easily changed | |
| [02:44] <foxbuntu> you dont like XFCE, pick KDE, or Gnome | |
| [02:44] <wos> how? | |
| [02:45] <hads> Or start mythfrontned from xinit or whatever :) | |
| [02:45] <foxbuntu> Mythbuntu-Control-Centre | |
| [02:45] <hads> So when it crashes you're not left with a blank screen :) | |
| [02:45] <foxbuntu> lol | |
| [02:45] <foxbuntu> hads, you are a cli hooker arent you | |
| [02:45] <hads> :) | |
| [02:46] <foxbuntu> always whoring out the cli | |
| [02:46] <hads> Maybe a little | |
| [02:46] <foxbuntu> lol | |
| [02:46] * hads cranks out irssi mutt and links | |
| [02:47] <foxbuntu> lol | |
| [02:47] <foxbuntu> I'll stick with xchat and gnome | |
| [02:47] <foxbuntu> with FF | |
| === protonchris_ is now known as protonchris | |
| [02:48] <hads> I only actually use irssi daily out of those. | |
| [02:48] <hads> KMail and FF usually. | |
| [02:50] <foxbuntu> ah, figures, usually those that are hardcore cli use KDE for their GUI | |
| [02:50] <foxbuntu> ;) | |
| [02:52] <hads> I've actually been undecided lately, switching back and forth. | |
| [02:53] <hads> But I just really prefer KMail to any other mail client, especially the keyboard shortcuts. Pity it eats my mail every once in a while but I've got backups :) | |
| [02:53] <foxbuntu> I've never been into KDE | |
| [02:54] <foxbuntu> but thats just me | |
| [02:54] <foxbuntu> I should prob look at the new KDE4 though | |
| [02:55] <hads> I'm looking forward to 4.2, 4.0 and 4.1 haven't really done it for me yet. Their work is amazing but just didn't quite fit me yet. | |
| [02:55] <hads> The polish that Ubuntu has with Gnome is unrivaled though. | |
| [02:56] <foxbuntu> indeed | |
| [02:56] <foxbuntu> and its only getting better | |
| [02:57] <hads> Yup | |

| [03:37] <Chaorain> I am a linux newb and I would like to know how do I get a free tv guide for Myth TV | |
| [03:53] <mee> i just installed mythbuntu, can anyone tell me how to watch tv now | |
| [03:53] <mee> i have a hauppage wintv hvr 950q | |
| [03:53] <mee> when i press "watch tv" nothing happens | |
| [03:55] <rhpot1991_laptop> !blank | mee | |
| [03:55] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about blank | |
| [03:55] <rhpot1991_laptop> !blank% | mee | |
| [03:55] <Zinn> mee: 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 | |
| [03:57] <mee> where is the recording direcrtory? | |
| [04:01] <mee> rhpot1991_laptop, where is the recording directory | |
| [04:04] <mee> can anyone help me please | |
| [04:05] <foxbuntu> mee, its where ever you setup your storage group to reside, the default is /var/lib/mythtv/recordings/ | |
| [04:06] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, did you get the firmware for that card? | |
| [04:06] <mee> no | |
| [04:07] <tgm4883_laptop> thats probably your problem | |
| [04:07] <tgm4883_laptop> were you able to scan for channels? | |
| [04:08] <mee> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_HVR-950 | |
| [04:08] <mee> no | |
| [04:09] <mee> im confused | |
| [04:09] <tgm4883_laptop> yea follow those directions | |
| [04:12] <mee> tgm4883_laptop, i dont understand those directions | |
| [04:13] <tgm4883_laptop> what part? | |
| [04:13] <tgm4883_laptop> ] | |
| [04:13] <tgm4883_laptop> download the firmware first: wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip | |
| [04:13] <tgm4883_laptop> Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir: unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | |
| [04:13] <tgm4883_laptop> Copy the resulting firmware file into /lib/firmware: cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | |
| [04:14] <tgm4883_laptop> actually, i missed this step Next, go into the v4l/linux/Documentation/video4linux directory, there will be a file called extract_xc3028.pl Copy this file into the directory where you originally placed hcw85bda.sys. Run the file with the command: ./extract_xc3028.pl | |
| [04:15] <mee> what????? Extract the file hcw85bda.sys from the zip into the current dir: unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | |
| [04:16] <tgm4883_laptop> did you download the file? | |
| [04:16] <mee> yes sir | |
| [04:16] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, then open a terminal and do | |
| [04:16] <tgm4883_laptop> \unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | |

| [04:16] <mee> which one | |
| [04:17] <tgm4883_laptop> the second one | |
| [04:17] <tgm4883_laptop> just like the directions say | |
| [04:17] <mee> mee@mee-desktop:~$ unzip -j HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip Driver85/hcw85bda.sys | |

| [04:17] <mee> mee@mee-desktop:~$ | |
| [04:17] <tgm4883_laptop> where did you download the file to? | |

| [04:18] <tgm4883_laptop> cd Desktop | |

| [04:24] <tgm4883_laptop> and it unziped? | |
| [04:25] <mee> i followed your directions so i think so | |
| [04:25] <mee> but the directions say something about a tarball | |
| [04:25] <tgm4883_laptop> it would say something like inflating: hcw85bda.sys | |
| [04:26] <mee> yes it did say that | |
| [04:26] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, are you running 8.10 or 8.04? | |
| [04:26] <mee> 8.10 | |
| [04:26] <tgm4883_laptop> good | |
| [04:26] <tgm4883_laptop> so you don't have to worry about the tarball part | |
| [04:26] <mee> ok | |

| [04:27] <mee> it doesnt work | |
| [04:27] <tgm4883_laptop> what doesn't work? | |

| [04:37] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, what are you using to edit it? | |
| [04:37] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, ah, do chmod +x extract_xc3028.pl | |
| [04:37] <tgm4883_laptop> then try ./extract_xc3028.pl | |

| [04:38] <mee> mee@mee-desktop:~$ | |
| [04:39] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, open a terminal and do "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" | |
| [04:39] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, great, now do | |
| [04:39] <tgm4883_laptop> cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | |
| [04:39] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, you will probably have to use sudo on that | |
| [04:39] <mee> mee@mee-desktop:~$ sudo cp xc3028-v27.fw /lib/firmware | |
| [04:39] <mee> mee@mee-desktop:~$ | |
| [04:40] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, looks like it worked | |
| [04:40] <mee> ok | |
| [04:40] <tgm4883_laptop> you should be able to just reboot and it should work after you scan for channels and do mythtv-setup stuff | |
| [04:40] <mee> ok ill try. will you be tha here | |
| [04:41] <tgm4883_laptop> i'm playing gears of war 2, but I should be around | |
| [04:41] <tgm4883_laptop> or you can bug foxbuntu ;) | |
| [04:41] <mee> ok | |
| [04:42] <MythbuntuGuest14> laptop, got any ideas of why i cannot edit my fstab now? | |
| [04:42] <foxbuntu> tgm4883_laptop, no bugging foxbuntu tonight, I am busy with stupid web junk again | |
| [04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, did you do what I said? | |
| [04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, open a terminal and do "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" | |
| [04:42] <MythbuntuGuest14> i just saw that i am going to try it | |
| [04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> foxbuntu, ok, i'll field his questions then | |
| [04:42] <tgm4883_laptop> I do have about the same hardware | |
| [04:43] <mee> ok how do i scan for channels, it did the blank screen agian | |
| [04:43] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, you have to go though mythtv-setup and run the channel scanner | |
| [04:43] <mee> ok | |
| [04:43] <mee> wheree is that | |
| [04:44] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, in a terminal, type mythtv-setup | |
| [04:44] <MythbuntuGuest14> that worked, why do i have to do that now, i have edited it before without gksudo | |
| [04:44] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, you have to have root privledges to edit system files | |
| [04:45] <tgm4883_laptop> so you got them before somehow | |
| [04:45] <MythbuntuGuest14> cool...one more question i just reinstalled and now my portable drive will not show up on the desktop | |
| [04:49] <tgm4883_laptop> MythbuntuGuest14, does it show up in your file manager? | |

| [05:11] <mee> tgm4883_laptop, does mythbuntu allow you to watch tv in a window? | |
| [05:14] <tgm4883_laptop> mee, you can put mythtv in a window if you like | |
| [05:14] <tgm4883_laptop> it's a setting under settings > appearance in the frontend | |

| [05:15] <mee> do you have to do step 6 | |
| [05:15] <tgm4883_laptop> yea | |

| [05:15] <tgm4883_laptop> yep | |
| [05:17] <mee> the channel scanner should work before i do step 6 shouldnt it? | |

| [12:53] <safcsat> Afternoon | |
| [12:53] <safcsat> dont suppose anyone has a recent guide for setting up mythbuntu with vdr 1.71 and getting dvb-s2 working? | |
| [12:54] <safcsat> sick of crapy windows and mediaportal so gonna give mythbuntu a bash :) | |
| [13:33] <safcsat> hey Penfold - dont suppose u can point me in direction of an uptodate guide for getting vdr 1.71 dvb-s2 etc working on mythbuntu? | |
| [13:40] <Penfold> in one, I can't :) sorry :) my install is a WinTB150 | |
| [13:41] <safcsat> no worries thanks anyway :) | |
| [14:11] <laga> now there was someone who totally missed the point :) | |
| [15:11] <wise_tamas> re all! I've just started using Mythbuntu 8.10( backend+frontend on a desktop, frontend only on a notebook ), and I'm bumped with settings and video windows... can anyone help me out? (more info on my system setup to come if wanted) | |
| [15:18] <bobbob1016> How can I get mythbuntu to talk to my receiver? I have a pioneer vsx-01txh. It has USB but for ipod connectivity. It has a com-port (9pin I think), anyone know how to get this working? | |
| [15:36] <laga> bobbob1016: ask pioneer? | |
| [15:37] <bobbob1016> laga, Ok, I wasn't sure if there was mythtv thing to do it. | |
| [15:38] <laga> bobbob1016: the commands are most likely vendor specific. i'd find out what commands are available and then go from there, eg write a script | |

| [20:52] <LyosNorezel> quiet today | |
| [23:22] <MythbuntuGuest82> Hey guys, how do I delay the loading of the backend? I did it before, but had to reformat and install and I can't remember how to do it. Seems like I changed it from S20 to S99, but I don't remember what folder. | |
| [23:23] <MythbuntuGuest82> I also need to get more volume out of Myth. Alexis is turned up all the way and the volume is 100%, but it's still very quiet. Again, I did this before, but I can't remember how I did it. | |
| === MythbuntuGuest82 is now known as Tooncis | |
| [23:32] <Tooncis> I mean alsamixer | |
| [23:44] <LonEagle> there's a volume control in the setup in mythfrontend | |
| [23:45] <LonEagle> you can max that one out too | |
| [23:56] <Tooncis> I'll check... | |
| [23:58] <ajhtwolf> hey i tried to setup my mythfrontend to connect to a remote backend and now mythfronent wont even start | |
