[03:52] CptFuzzy, no [03:52] CptFuzzy, your welcome to create one :) [03:52] lol [03:53] android6011, what do you mean? [03:53] Mythbuntu, try the alternate disk. There are some known issues with certian video cards [03:54] foxbuntu: nvm my bad, i was at http://mythbuntu/ [03:54] android6011, that will prevent proper interwebs browsing ;) [03:55] heh ya [03:56] anyone tried added comix to the mythtv menu? [03:56] CptFuzzy, what do you mean? [03:56] to read comix [03:57] cbr files [03:57] foxbuntu, please explain what you mean by "try the alternate disk" [03:57] not that I am aware of... [03:58] 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] will do, thanks [06:57] Good morning from Scotland! [07:01] I was wondering about the -fixes weekly builds for Intrepid [07:14] I guess my timing is bad, I'll come back tonight [08:09] 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] hi since upgrading to 8.10 i have a number of problems one of witch is my sound [13:25] i have none [13:25] can some one help [14:13] !help [14:13] 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] !logs [14:13] MythTV logs are stored in /var/log/mythtv/ [14:33] 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] linux_trojan: try the torrent? [14:41] torrent? [14:41] linux_trojan: bittorrent [14:41] I dont have my router setup for torrent [14:41] I dont even have a torrent client [14:41] linux_trojan: i can try do reproduce your problem in a few minutes [14:42] k [14:42] someone in Ubuntu chat tells me the problem is burn slower [14:43] but Desktop and Alternate have different file sizes [14:43] well [14:43] that's intentional. [14:43] does the md5sum match? [14:45] I checked yes they match [14:45] intentional? [14:46] it must require slower burning [14:46] ? [14:47] Hey, I logged out by accident [14:47] hey [14:47] the alternate and the desktop disks are different [14:48] so they have different sizes [14:48] so the program features are different? [14:48] alternate disk is text mode [14:48] eekk [14:48] i recommend the live disk [14:48] alternate is broken and will be nuked [14:48] yea the first one, Desktop [14:48] generally you only want alternate disc if hte live doesn't work for you [14:49] well the checksum definitely matched, so it must be what the other room said? Just burn it slower? [14:49] yes [14:50] ok I will give it a shot, bbl, maybe :) [14:50] some burn tools like k3b can verify the burn [14:50] yes I might try k3b, thanks [16:50] 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] you can apt-get install mythtv and then dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database and put in the information for your mysql database Ibelieve [18:53] hello [18:58] !hi [18:58] Hi $nick, how are you? Something we can help you with today? [19:13] So ANyone riockin HDTV on Myth? [19:13] I'm thinking of buying one of these new fangled TV's [19:25] neoneddy yep [19:26] anything I need to be aware of, what is a good tuner card? [19:27] depends what you want to capture, encryption is a pain on the HD front [19:29] something like a HDHR works really good, but can only get unencrypted qam, normally only your OTA channels [19:47] 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] NicEXE, i responded to you [20:05] you can apt-get install mythtv and then dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database and put in the information for your mysql database Ibelieve [20:07] I did this before but a new MySQL database was installed [20:08] thats fine [20:08] and normal [20:08] just delete the new database [20:08] and use your old one [20:09] it will get the rest of the things in place for it to be working at least [20:13] hi all since upgrading to mythbuntu 8.10 i have lost my sound any one able to help [20:14] psicobra: are you using the nvidia driver? [20:16] for sound? [20:16] for my gfx card yes [20:17] 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] err, for their VGA card [20:17] maybe try removing the nvidia driver? [20:17] just to test it [20:17] but i needs nvidia drivers [20:18] yes, hence the "just to test it" ;) [20:18] ok i deactivated it do i need to reboot [20:18] yeah, think so [20:19] k brb [20:22] does anyone else`s screen switch off and on when they change tracks on mythmusic? [20:31] hi all [20:31] laga, thanks i fixed it although was nothing to do with nvidia drivers [20:32] 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] ah [20:33] great :) [20:34] nvidia would have been very unlikely anyways :) [20:34] yeah don't know why it was muted by default [20:34] o well [20:36] 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] hum [20:38] hold down the fast forward button? for me it keeps fast forwarding if i push it once [20:39] and if i push it again, it goes faster [20:39] not for me [20:39] is that on movies [20:39] not stuff u recorded [20:39] ah [20:39] that's probably mplayer [20:40] and a repeat setting in .lircrc which is responsible for that [20:40] you know how to fix? [20:41] try adding the repeat statements.. see the lirc documentation on those values [20:41] you can specify them with mythbuntu-lirc-generator, see mythbuntu-lircrc-generator [20:42] k thanks [20:49] laga, your a star thanks mate i sorted all my bugs with ur help [20:50] great :) [21:12] how do i tell if i am running 64 bit edition or not? [21:13] what does uname -a say? [21:14] 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [21:14] guess 32 bit? [21:14] yeah [21:14] cheers [21:23] 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] !blank% [21:23] 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] Zinn, everything is mythtv:mythtv and set to 775 [21:32] Would there be anything else that would prevent it from working? [21:37] make sure you've ran mythtv-setup then [21:37] and gone all the way through each set of options [21:44] ZeroDamage make sure its not in your home [21:44] ? [21:47] oh, it's not in my /home. It is in the default of /var/lib/mythtv [21:50] 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] 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] 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] can i somehow fix it, i souldnt mind if the remote had a bit of delay rather then the video [22:02] Any other Ideas before I go on and try out Linux MCE? [22:05] you should try out linuxMCE anyway. might be it rocks for you. [22:15] doh...my upgrading to ubuntu 8.10 no worky.. [22:15] I am getting a give up waiting for root device [22:15] error [22:16] after the final reboot after the upgrade is done [22:25] mythtv def isn't as easy as it should be. [22:25] it has ways to go to replace windows mce [22:26] after all the shit, it still will not work. [23:20] okay it says that the root does not exist [23:21] 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] can i burn the 8.10 mythbuntu and do a recover of some kind? [23:23] you can find uuid's by ls -alh /dev/disk/by-uuid [23:24] your UUID should never change though unless you go mucking with your partition table [23:24] i think it was the old way and when I upgraded to 8.10, it changed it but it made a booboo [23:25] all I did was do the upgrade to 8.10 in the update manager [23:25] I promise :) [23:26] well that's... scary then [23:26] i agree [23:27] so you've got two things you can try [23:27] alll I said during the upgrade was yes I want to keep the smb.conf as is [23:27] LOL [23:27] while you're at that shell, go ahead and try to mount /dev/sda1 or whatever your drive is at /mnt [23:27] 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] okay.,...hold on ... its in the other room [23:31] okay that didn't work...it cant find fstab [23:31] so boot off a live disk [23:31] and you can do this diagnosis from the live disk [23:31] okay. [23:32] thats what i thought [23:32] 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] you might need to have libdvdcss2 installed Joe3421 [23:36] hmm, isthat on the 8.10 CD? [23:37] i did a advanced install and did virtually everythting optional [23:37] Joe3421, no it is not, it is activatable from mythbuntu-control-centre though [23:39] 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] okay i installed libdvdcss2 and no change, still dosn't import DVDs. what should i look at next?
