hipitihop: interesting. "It is a kernel bug unless I am missing some rule about sysfs timing." 00:12
mrand, that's my interpretation. I played around with a rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d and if I run "sudo udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb3/3-4/3-4:1.0/input/input4" which happens to be my device, then it claims "sudo udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb3/3-4/3-4:1.0/input/input4" 00:16
mrand, I thought that was the point of the exercise to get udev to ignroe the device and not load usbhid as driver. 00:21
I upgraded my mythbuntu install to 9.10, and now the 'lirc_mceusb2" module is misisng from the new kernel... 00:29
hipitihop: at least on 9.04, it looks like that was still a valid thing to do. My wild guess would be 9.10 hasn't changed. Unless it has :-) http://www.ivankuznetsov.com/2009/10/upgrading-iphone-firmware-using-vmware-and-ubuntu-9-04.html 02:05
hey guys, just upgraded to 9.10 and I need the 6200ch binary to change channels via firewire, but it's expecting libraw1394-8 and Karmic has libraw1394-11, is there a known solution or an updated version? 02:44
well, on the help.ubuntu.com wiki it says: "NOTE: The 6200.ch changer is included in the Ubuntu MythTV packages and is no longer needed for the Motorola 62xx STBs." but how do I configure Myth to change the channel then? 02:46
rhpot1991: I downloaded it from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer a long time ago and that's what it references in the "external channel changer" in mythtv-setup...how do I rely on what's built-into mythtv now? 02:50
mrand: driver finally listed as (none) see http://paste.ubuntu.com/312942/ ... I guess now the next step is, how to get it to bind lirc_imon 03:01
hipitihop: Can you keeping track of this stuff so a wiki page or some documentation can be done up once it is all figured out? 03:26
obviously that is a manual solution so won't survive beyond a reboot, but I will work toward actually getting the rest of lirc config correct for all the keys so I can finally use mythtv with it and worry about automating all this after that 03:46
mrand, I guess that is one way but there can be other divices depending on what is plugged in... holdon going through notes 03:47
damn. some people really do buy into the whole LTS thing and not want to run around upgrading whole oses every six months. :-( i understand your position too though. 03:55
0.21 was updated not too long ago I think... may doesn't seem right. Oh, you said weekly builds. they may have transitioned to "auto-builds" instead. 03:55
Shred00: yeah, I understand it kinds stinks, but actually the LTS thing is really for the software released around that time. 0.22 is coming 18 months later... almost in time for 10.04 LTS! 03:56
mrand, that doesn't work, but you are correct, you can then do "udevadm info -a -p /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/usb3/3-4/3-4:1.0/" 03:56
hello, I just installed 9.10 today and everything was working fine until i tried to tweak my display using the 03:57
hello, I just installed 9.10 today and everything was working fine until i tried to tweak my display using the screen setup wizard / appearance 03:58
hrm. maybe it's just the uk mirror that's out of date. unfortunately the main mirror is not browsable 03:59
mrand, are you trying to get me to go the next step and use http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Gyration-based_MCE_Remotes#udev_method for my modealias so that it is automated ? 04:01
weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org has 0.21.0+fixes21768-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu1 which is the same as uk.weekly... which shows in a Packages file that has not been modified since May 04:01
also, it's worth noting that yes, LTS is Long Term Support, but that doesn't mean you get new releases backported to it 04:01
hipitihop: I'm no expert, but yes, I was wondering if that would be your next step (if that even works on 9.10) 04:02
mrand, I thought that kernel bug was causing some of those attributes to not be available at the time of processing the rules 04:03
Like I said, I'm no expert on it either. I was hoping to hack on my gyration remote today, but didn't get to it. 04:05
carpenike: I don't know how much experience people here have with transcoding... searching the mythtv-users mailing list archive or asking on #mythtv-users may get more responses. 04:14
Hmm.. You know, not sure which one I installed now. might actually be the GA. Is there an easy way to check? 04:18
so maybe that autobuilds location is not tracking the 0.22 fixes branch. i will take a look at the ppa 04:24
carpenike: that is indeed an rc. I would expect an update would get you newer one. I would personally suggest enabling the auto-builds ppa to keep up with the latest bug fixes: http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds 04:25
well, i guess i'm doing a hardy->karmic upgrade tomorrow. but certainly not before i do some lvm snapshots. :-) 04:26
Shred00: I believe Ubuntu upgrades require you to go through the intermediate steps (8.10 and 9.04) 04:27
anyone gotten any impressions on whether 0.22 is any heavier on video playback? my BE/FE is just fast enough to playback currently. don't want to have to beef it up if i don't need to. using nvidia 5200 in it. 04:28
mrand: naw. i do apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades anyway, and every interim release is supposed to be able to update the previous LTS as the interim releases are making their way to the next LTS. i saw specific commits in Karmic regarding smother hardy upgrades. 04:29
and with the safety of a snapshot prior to upgrade, the whole thing can go to hell in a handbasket and i simply have to reboot on the snapshot i took and i am back to square one. 04:30
Shred00: interesting (re: upgrades). Cool -that's good to hear. Some of the new themes are kinda heavy, I think I heard the fallback is not 04:30
The official upgrade is either through every release or LTS to LTS, so 8.04 -> 10.04, or 8.04 -> 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 05:04
Yeah, they aren't really personal as such though :) SOme of them are by official teams such as the mythbuntu guys 05:08
Hi Guys, I have a Hauppauge WinTV Radio pci card and I can't see the IR hardware via lspci -v. I'm not too sure how to troubleshoot this. Any advice? 05:40
it says Metallurgy is missing mainwindow.xml and is broken, tries to fall back to Terra, and sais it can't load mainmenu from menu-ui.xml 05:58
already hosed my database up once today and had to restore from the backup that mythbackend wisely made. 06:00
however we have some different issues going on. I've got nothing going on with the DB or watch tv 06:05
I filed a bug against mythweb on 0.22 with a clean load of 9.10. Can anone else who has a clean build (and did not restore the favorites table - not in the new schema) confirm this for me. http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7479 06:39
now that I have lirc_imon driver being used correctly and I have confirmed via IRW that all keys on my remote generate a code, what else do I need to do to get lirc correctly configured and integrated with mythfronend ? 10:16
I'm having real trouble setting up jamu in 9.10, it keeps complaining about missing folders although it is set 10:27
I just did a fresh install of mythbuntu 9.10 and it cann't read my videos Directory which is located on a second drive. I've set the permissions as my Pictures dir is on the same drive and it works fine (the permissions are the same). I think I've gotten everything setup correctly in myth setup, unless there is a new spto to set that wasn't in mythbuntu 8.0.4 15:16
I've got the HD-PVR and now that I've upgraded to .22 and 9.10 I'd like to set it up...is there anything I need to install or should it just work? I currently have the PVR-250 working 15:22
~sigh~ "DB charset pre-conversion test failed. Your database seems to be partially corrupted." 15:32
but my /etc/mysql/my.cnf doesn't seem to contain anything at all about character sets per http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding 15:32
given that I still have a copy of the old database intact what's the easiest way through this quagmire? 15:33
That I've seen, the devs try very hard to deal with stuff properly (seemless upgrades). But from the above threads, it seems that there are a few bugs they aren't yet comfortable dealing with in an automated fashion. 16:12
i don't seem to have the latin1/utf8 mix-match that http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding describes as bad 16:24
Hi all. I've installed the latest version of Mythbuntu and it's almost functional. I'm currently on the Database Configuration screen (page 1 of 2) and it tells me that "Myth could not connect to the database" Can anyone provide information on how to fix the issue? 17:12
Question regarded the initial database configuration screen under the latest version of mythbuntu. Wondering how to work around the "myth could not connect to the database" message that appears. 17:29
superm1, I'm running mythtv trunk on a mythbuntu system. When I upgraded mythbuntu it reinstalled all the binaries from 0.22-fixes 17:48
are there configuration files/settings for mythvideo/mythgallery/mythmusic ? I'm trying to configure my diskless frontend image as much as I can such that I don't have to edit too many settings on each frontend. 19:22
I'm having real trouble setting up jamu in 9.10, it keeps complaining about missing folders although it is set 19:22
hi all, we're just trying to setup our first myth box ever (msi media live) - we've got the latest (9.10) install disk but when we click the 'install myth' icon from the disk (we're using it in a live environment right now) nothing happens, we see a crash report but we can't view it's contents - sound familiar? 19:29
how can i change mythweb to port 8484 from 80? using ubuntu and mythweb is already running fine on 80 19:35
sorry guys - got d/ced! So we're trying to setup myth on our new msi media live - got the 9.10 mythbuntu cd - no matter which install option we choose we always seem to end up in what i'd term to be a 'live' environment 19:53
and then when we try to 'install mythbuntu' - nothing happens - i've tried running it from the command line 19:54
`ph8: certain not a common problem. Never heard of it, actually. Did you check the disk (at the first menu when you boot)? When you boot to the live environment, is there an icon for "install mythbuntu"? Certainly give non 64-bit a try, but that shouldn't be it. 19:55
thanks mrand, will try 32 bit and get back - will also check cd for defects as haven't done that 19:59
Seeker`: sorry, don't know anything about HDMI out, but I can imagine it is different even still 20:00
mrand - I cat'ed the config.xml file as per your suggestion and carefully noted the password and username. I inserted those into the database config screen of the mythsetup and they were rejected. Any other suggestions? 20:15
I've asked that they both run on the same machine (as I had with my previous install on my fc6 box) 20:17
RobfrHalifax: the values in that file should match /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt, and the contents of the stuff in ~/.mythtv - but if you're having trouble, see if any of those disagree. 20:29
I did the install from scratch, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be a permissions problem? 20:34
I thought that the setup stuff typically handled all that. As I recall, you don't have to enter anything. Only time I recall seeing it ask is when the backend or sql database are messed up. 20:36
I used the nvidia 1.90 driver from jya's repos prior to doing a mythbuntu 9.10 install and found it to be quite stable over the 1.85 20:39
anyone know what the type of control is that comes with the media live? I thought it was pretty popular 21:45
hads, yeah that's fixed in the latest -fixes packages, but not in the package that made it in 9.10 21:45
can someone link me to this channels archive... I posted a link to a kernel bug related to udev rules not firing and now lost the link 23:23
Hi! I m having a strange problem. Chanel Up and Channel Down works ok, but when change channel by number mythtv fails. Any ideas? 23:40
