User1: ok i'm back... short of upgrading to mythtv .24 or re-installing entire mythbuntu 10.10, is there anything I can do to fix the existing installation?  I'm referring to schema matching error.
User1: Something like get to mysql prompt and reset database somehow?
User1: couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9
User1: not sure if that breaks me trying to do .24
User1: Hello, I upgraded o .24. Now, I get mo pnp and unable to login when running backend setup. My DB PW, ip address are ok, and did not change during upgrade.
User1: NM, thinks working, ick, all my channels gone...
User1: !help
User2: !help For a  complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi  Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].
User1: hello, i'm troubleshooting my myth .24 upgrade, and get this when trying to update synaptic: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9
User3: hey dude
User3: follow the instructions on adding the ppa
User1: I did but that was last night.
User3: well you didnt do it right
User3: is totally wrong
User3: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick release
User3: which ppa????
User1: FYI, I had a 10.1o .23 system running perfectly for weeks. One fe/be box, other frontends able to connect, etc.  Then I accidently let loose a .24 on another distro on the network, and I think it mated with my mythbuntu and corrupted everything.
User1: So I've been working with .24 upgrade, and seems to work with localhost 91.69.162.6, but not my 91.69.162.6 fe/be box, if I can fix that I may be ok.
User2: [91.69.162.6] arctangent.net
User1: mysql.txt, in etc, and user seem ok
User1: but fe can't login to be unless I use localhost stuff
User1: running mythfrontend in term I see empty hostname, but my prompt in term shows my box.
User1: mycoDA, to answer your question, .24ppa
User1: I may have missed some config file to set my ip and database PW it seems.
User1: could someone list the conf files I should check, such as /.mythtv/mysql.txt, etc?
User1: I tried the bind-address (used to be skip networking), etc
User1: Well, I have a spare hard drive, would be quicker to re-install 10.10 I guess, and dump my recordings in later.
User1: I wish mythbuntu didn't dump everything in one partition.
User1: I'm used to / and /home partitions where OS can be repaired independently.
User3: just add the mythbuntu repos
User3: !repo
User2: Sorry I don't know about repo
User3: !ppa
User2: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart.
User3: grr
User4: hehe
User3: http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds
User2: [www.mythbuntu.org] Mythbuntu Repositories | Mythbuntu
User4: I think I'm just going to plop in my new 500GB drive.
User3: install that http://www.mythbuntu.org/files/mythbuntu-repos.deb
User3: then you will be able to choose 0.24 in mythbuntu control center
User4: ok, i'll give it another shot.
User4: I just finished all my channel listings scans etc...again
User4: grr
User4: User3 i chose .24 in the control center last night...
User3: so dont scan, download lol
User3: dunno what you have done then
User3: only config file is the mysql.txt
User4: No I mean I had everything working on the local box, even my recordings, I just lost the 91.69.162.6 access on the network. The box can't even find itself.
User3: the rest is done in database
User4: and I can't get /mythweb running.
User4: for obvious reason.
User3: sounds like mysql is totally and utterly trashed
User3: so you should restore your backup
User4: mysql.txt and mysql.cfg or something too.
User3: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore
User2: [www.mythtv.org] Database Backup and Restore - MythTV Official Wiki
User4: POO, I was hours away from clonezilling my perfect system when the other distro trashed the thing.
User3: myth can only run with the same version
User3: is kinda the point of versioning
User4: I know, that is what happened.
User3: you could even have told it not to upgrade the database on the other machine, no i dea why you let it
User4: I was playing with .24 on another box on the network, not even wanting to see the mythbuntu box, but I think the .24 thought the .23 box was its BE, and messed it up.
User3: you had to have told it to upgrade the database
User3: and there can only be ONE master backend on the network
User4: I might have, but not on porpoise..
User4: So as one last try, can I just use synaptic to uninstall and re-install myth?
User3: how would mysql have got stuffed outside the database???
User3: you shouldnt need to - you need to recreate mythconverg
User3: you should have a backup - myth wont let you upgrade the schema without making one
User4: I'll give it a shot, how do I start, or just point me to a link, don't want to bug you.

User4: The original complaint was wrong schema anyway.
User4: I don't have anything to restore from'
User1: well I do, but its from .23 in december
 * nerdful_things reads wiki
User1: ooh, the hostname part looks interesting
User1: mythconverg_restore.pl --change_hostname --old_hostname="XXXX" --new_hostname="YYYY"
User1: I get command not found
User1: using sudo
User1: probly need mysql prompt...
User1: hmnn hosts.allow is an item of interest
User1: glad I didn't change that, just found problem...
User1: port 6543 was blank in setup. The prompt said "don't change" so I assumed it was blank.
User1: Thanks for your time, mycoDA
User3: ack
User3: np sorry i wasnt more help
User3: quitting somking - addled brain
User1: Now for sound.. the optical and dolby digital light up on receiver, but no sound, checking controls.'
User1: VDPAU and stuff look good for video, I had to use nvidia driver from nvidia site, and the upgrade left that intact.
User1: drat, don't remember having sound problems...
User3: prolly need to enable te optical out
User1: optical seems ok
User3: *digital out
User1: receiver sees carrier, dolby dig, etc.
User3: as in - enable it in myth
User3: enable it in myth
User3: in settings-general
User1: checking alsa setup again...
User3: will need to set it to the appropriate output
User3: gettin anywhere?
User1: just connected analog
User1: sound ok
User1: I'll play with optical later, sure it is ok...
User3: speaker-test -c 6 -D surround51 -t wav
User3: will test output
User3: change surround51 to the appropriate output
User1: I tried a laptop, and am getting the schema thing, so going to re-install 10.10 frontend on it then upgrade to .24. I just did a control center backup to a separate partition on the drive.
User3: aplay -L
User3: will show device options
User1: ok, i'll play with the sound while ur here...
User3: yeah you need to make sure you have the exact same version on  all
User3: iec958 would be digital out for me
User1: important thing is to have backend recording, need it for WAF, cooking show recording now...
User3: fair one
User3: shouldnt need to restart
User1: yeah, ac97, iec etc, looks the same as before, will try your above checks... I'm used to alsaconf in other distro.
User3: yeah, but you need to find the one that is digital
User3: like i said for me it is iec958
User3: iec958:CARD=CK804,DEV=0
User1: hold on, just need another cuppacoffee, then I'll try
User1: yep, had ck804 listed...
User3: nvidia motherboard eh
User3: iec958 = spdif
User3: need to set it to that in myth
User3: but for now -  speaker-test -c 6 -D iec958 -t wav
User3: should tell you if digital is working from alsa
User3: make sure the amp is on digital in of course lol
User3: if that works then go into myth in settings -> general and on the audio page hit detect, and then on the line unerneath choose iec958:CARD=CK804,DEV=0
User3: if not well then there is plenty to check lol
User3: http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut
User2: [alsa.opensrc.org] DigitalOut - ALSA wiki
User1: where do you see "detect?
User1: oh, wait...
User1: no, not in frontend/setup/audio systems  the usual dolby, dts stuff is there and checked
User3: the top line of that is a pressbutton
User3: under that is a line where you enter device name
User3: change it from alsa:default
User1: to:
User1: it wants alsa:default
User1: oh it just popped up 804...
User3: you want it to be the one with iec958 in it
User3: or spdif i spose
User1: funny always used the default with optical before...
User3: odd
User3: what chipset you have?
User1: ac97
User3: motherboard chipset lol
User3: ac97 isnt a chipset at all btw
User1: checking controls, oh, i haven't tried your above commands
User1: nvidia
User3: speaker-test -c 6 -D iec958 -t wav
User1: northbridge etc
User3: that will test the connection
User1: amd
User3: which one?
User3: i have an nforce4 sli and an nforce430
User1: nforce something
User3: AMD both of em
User1: Old Mythic Dragon box
User1: MSI board
User3: original phenom?
User3: mine is just athlon 64 x2
User3: got a frontend with sempron64 3800+ too
User1: fergot, circa 2004 3.x a64
User3: wow, so single core socket 478?
User3: or 939?
User1: Was a Knoppmyt commercial sales product Knoppmyth reference system.
User1: 939
User3: cool
User3: i started on knoppmyth years back too lol
User3: seduced by the dark side
User1: ick, I very reluctantly just set up a discarded vista box to get netflix etc with fraking DRM crap requirementgs
User3: did you consider a VM?
User1: going too.
User3: openbox or the like
User3: jus xp under it?
User1: need a solid BE then I'll play around..
User3: or win7 starter?
User3: you an aussie?
User1: This is a Vista box, but I have w7 upgrade licenses around, but it seems to work ok so far.
User3: ewwwwwww
User1: oops I'm tytping on my dragon, the vista box has MCE in it which vudu, netflix require.
User1: no, all my myth stuff is on the amd dragon here
User3: yeah - w7 is much nicer, what vista should have been, bout 20% faster
User3: where are you from?
User1: I dual boot everything only use w7 when absolutely needed.
User1: usa
User3: why??? ditch vista for 7
User3: aussie here
User3: 1am lol
User1: My favorite distro is PCLinuxOS, but mythbuntu seems the most polished for mythtv
User1: go to bed, easter bunny will not come and take your teeth under pillow.
User3: i would prolly get lynched, but i really like suse
User3: gonna set up for fianceee - waitin for her 2 snooz
User1: In fact I've been helping get mythtv going on PCLinuxOS as a tester, is how I hosed my LAN
User3: ahhh
User3: next time remember one database per network
User3: shouldnt impair you to make a slave backend
User1: I also am playing with Sara, I was about to get her going, with LinuxMCE, but am putting my trust in mythbuntu for the main BE
User1: Yeah, I never intended for the PCLinuxOS myth master BE to get away from me
User3: sara?
User1: ok, back to sound, then I notice the video is jerky, even with vdpau enabled.. sigh, everything was just perfect 24 hours ago...
User3: crap
User3: what gpu?
User3: what playback profile?
User1: Sara is the "host" that walks you through setting up the LinuxMCE home automation system, which has Mythtv in it also...

User1: hehe
User1: zinn
User2: Hi nerdful_things, something I can help you with today?  I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do.
User3: lookin forward to all my new stuff comin
User3: specially the ssds
User1: I had to install the driver direct from nvidia, I don't even remember how I did it.
User3: and the headphones
User3: and the wireless n
User3: i hope u didnt use the nvidia download on ubuntu?????
User3: or at least not on 10.04 or later lol
User1: I did and it was only way to get vdau working perfectly
User1: speaker-test 1.0.23
User1: Playback device is iec958
User1: Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
User1: WAV file(s)
User1: Channels count (6) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument
User1: Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument
User1: pcluser@dragon-mythbuntu:~$
User1: hmnn
User3: sorry my fault
User3: doesnt do dts
User3: speaker-test -c 2 -D iec958 -t wav
User1: it thinks it is testing...
User1: no sound or dolby light
User3: is the reciever on digital?
User3: shouldnt be a dolby light
User1: yes, but i'll worry about sound later, more concerned video is not right.
User3: if no sound, 1st thing to do is run alsamixer and check it is not muted and is turned op
User3: check s/pdif isnt muted in there
User3: well answer the qs i asked before
User1: ?
User3: what gpu? what playback profile
User1: its a card that was not likely to work, but the driver fixed it.. geforce 8800gt i think
User3: u didnt download a driver from nvidia did u? on ubuntu?
User3: pretty sure ur not sposed to do that anymore
User3: incompatibility
User1: yes, that is what got it working perfectly, I know it was out of repo\
User1: I knew that
User3: ohhh, was the ppa, not from nvidia
User3: phew
User1: wish i had clonezillad then...
User1: no it was direct from nvidia
User3: prolly should find u that ppa

User3: what kind of display? analog?
User1: I am waiting on a gf 9900 card anyway to arrive.
User1: DLP
User3: 9900?? no such thing
User1: 9800 maybe
User3: how is it connected
User3: 9800 and 8800 are the same thing really lol
User1: ATM as HDMI
User3: g92 vs g92a
User3: hdmi should be east
User3: *easy
User1: was a BFG card
User3: got sync to opengl enabled in tv options - playback?

User1: tried sync

User1: OK, I had sound, then lost it, but will get it back.. I also have good video, i set vdpau to slim and it is fine.
User1: but I will probably keep getting yelled at during updates for not having a repo approved nvidia driver installed.
User1: I think I accidentally had it set to slim without vdpau.
User1: But I was working on sound, so wasn't checking...
User4: Ok, thanks mycoDA , I'm going to run it for awhile and clonezilla or ghost or dd it. then I'll play with using the approved nvidia stuff.
User3: you shouldnt need slim - you have plenty of kick for the best one
User4: well, that seemd to glitch before..
User3: welcome mate
User3: odd - you shouldnt have an issue with advanced2x deinterlacing
User4: I need to reflow my 9xxx card then try it later
User3: make sure you use that composite off setting
User3: may be the cause of that issue
User4: Hmnn maybe i'll look now...
User3: also the connect to acpid thing
User3: prevent it going into powersave - you can downclock it later to a stable clock that saves power
User4: Is that in the normal gui settings or do i have to edit some conf files?
User3: xorg .conf
User3: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
User4: ok
User3: will need to restart x
User3: sudo service gdm restart
User4: strange
User3: ?
User4: my machine just locked up
User4: i'm on the laptop
User3: strange indeed
User4: iwasn't playing mythfrontend or anything...
User4: i noticed i had quit, while here on laptop
User4: guess i'll ssh in and reboot it
User3: dont reboot
User3: if u can ssh in just restart x
User4: it is frozen, ok, now what?
User3: sudo service gdm restart
User4: ok
User3: if that doesnt work, find gdm in ur process list and kill -9 it
User4: ohoh no route to host
User3: wow
User3: that doesnt happen often
User4: whole machine is frozen, alt tab even KB numlock on/off doesn't change.
User3: power surge, or overheat
User3: or any number of other things
User3: had an issue with a gpu fan that would do that
User4: never had hdwr prob.
User4: huge fans in ps cpu
User3: lol lucky you
User3: this is even an aftermarket cooler zalman vf700alcu
User4: manual cpu fan adj at min always enough
User3: may not be on a hot day or in a hot case
User4: HTPC case
User3: and?
User3: that is like saying metal case
User4: true
User3: most htpc cases are designed for noise rather than airflow
User4: it's a nice silverstone case
User4: temps are fine, huge cpu cooler, 5" psu fan etc.
User4: large slow fans
User4: high airflow, but quiet
User3: fair one
User1: Anyway, I'm going to offload any stuff here and clonezilla it to 2nd drive
User3: fair one
User1: video is fine for now with vdpau slim on.
User1: Wife has tin eyes anyway

User1: Hey while here, what's a good file manager for 'buntu? I would like something that would mount at will by uuid or lable etc.
User5: no idea tbh

User6: meanwhile, I think I'll try mythfrontend since I moved some things around...
User3: wagnerrp made a nifty tanscode wrapper and exporter to mythvideo if you look on the mythtv wiki

User7: for the life of me I can't seem to get the lis drivers working for lcdproc.  I have tried a few walkthroughs which have you compile them from scratch and still no luck.
User7: I don't suppose, by any slim chance, that someone in here has actually run into the issue personally?
User6: yes, mycoDA, I know I should be able to set up resolutions, but choosing ffmpeg command line settings seems to involve several hours of study in video formats/codecs/etc.
User6: and it takes hours to see whether you got it right
User6: wow... ffmpeg has been running for >80min. The show is only about 48min. Is this normal?
