[00:03] <dewman> foxbuntu, Thanks that seemed to do the trick... What caused that to happen?
[00:10] <foxbuntu> dewman, sometimes when the config or cache for the session gets messed up it just requires being cleared to fix it, if you want you can file a bug against mythbuntu on launchpad and tar both of those dirs up and attach them for diagnostic data to see if it was a bug or something on your system
[00:28] <dewman> foxbuntu, another good idea! I will try to get that done tonight at some point... thanks!
[00:40] <foxbuntu> dewman, no problem.
[02:59] <vn> hi, I'm actually setting my mount points from the network so I can use them in mythtv but thing is that when I mount them, their ownership changes to root and those folders aren't readable and I get "no files found", what can I do?
[03:30] <vn> OK, I got it but it still doesn't want to list my media...what could be wrong?
[03:47] <vn> yay, got it..just discovered the M command heh
[05:51] <_Arpman3> crap - ran out of disk spca
[06:01] <vn> that's still possible?

[09:54] <Guest7568> Hey everyone, I'm having an interesting issue with my MythTV, if I'm running it to my VGA the whole system boots up fine in around 30seconds. (fresh install) If I'm running to my Svideo (Which is what I want) I get a black screen after startup that stays black for about ten minutes, then MythTV shows up like nothing happened, and works fine.
[09:54] <Guest7568> any ideas on how to speed this up?
[10:02] <rhp> Hi all, I'm installing mythbuntu 9.10 today. I've been messing about a bit, and now I have both a ppa.launchpad.net repository and the weeklybuilds.mythbuntu.org repository. Is this correct? Or should I disable one of them?
[10:06] <Guest7568> rhp- where are you seeing those repositorys listed..? I'm running 9.10 also and I don't see either one.
[10:07] <rhp> Guest7569: in the repositories list in update-manager.
[10:07] <rhp> I started the upgrade a month ago, and am now finally able to finish.
[10:08] <rhp> I just added the auto-builds package, but update manager is unable to do a full update.
[10:08] <Guest7568> are you running a fresh install of 9.10 or upgrading from 9.04?
[10:09] <rhp> It was a fresh install
[10:10] <rhp> But I think I might have added the ppa repository on a suggestion from the mythbuntu website at the time.
[10:15] <rhp> The most scary part is that it suggests to update some of the mythtv packages, but not all. E.g. libmyth cannot update...
[10:44] <rhp> Signing off for a clean reinstall....
[11:34] <Abongile> Please help, am new, two main problems: 1) Just installed Mythbuntu 9.10 and remote frontends cannot connect, IP address and Password checked and are correct as per ifconfig and mythtv-set up on BE/F. 9.10 Does not have the add DHCP from previous versions in Control Centre. 2) How to get Mythtv to change channels on a direct free to air terrestrial broadcast signals. Help is greatly needed and appreciated.
[15:50] <spanner3003> hi i have alsa and pluseaudio setup on mythbuntu but i only get sound in livetv when i select /dev/dsp1 and nothing on alsa:default

[16:12] <Joris_> Since I upgraded to MythTV 0.22 (from version 0.21) my recordings are showed in a lower quality with interference; any ideas to start with?
[16:29] <_Arpman3> morning
[16:35] <spanner3003> hi i have alsa and pluseaudio setup on mythbuntu but i only get sound in livetv when i select /dev/dsp1 and nothing on alsa:default
[21:26] <guybrushthreepwo> hello
[21:29] <iamlindoro> How appropriate, you fight like a cow
[21:29] <guybrushthreepwo> lol
[21:30] <guybrushthreepwo> youre right; i am new to irc
[21:30] <iamlindoro> And you're selling these fine leather jackets?
[21:31] <guybrushthreepwo> no, i am looking for help on my mythbuntu installation
[21:31] <guybrushthreepwo> and i am quite new to that, too, i' afraid
[21:33] <iamlindoro> Ask me about LOOM
[21:35] <guybrushthreepwo> well, i have seen it through a tree stump
[21:35] <iamlindoro> I am rubber, you are glue.
[21:36] <guybrushthreepwo> #sigh# ok, you asked for it:
[21:36] <guybrushthreepwo> I\rquote m looking for 30 dead guys and one woman!
[21:37] <iamlindoro> I don’t think I want to hear any more about it.
[21:38] <guybrushthreepwo> I could really use a breath mint
[21:38] <iamlindoro> You’re telling me. Take one. Please. TAKE A WHOLE ROLL! That will be 1 piece of eight.
[21:40] <iamlindoro> Think of all the useful answers you could have received if you would just ask a question
[21:40] <guybrushthreepwo> hehe
[21:40] <iamlindoro> But nobody out-Monkey-Islands me.  Nobody.
[21:41] <iamlindoro> I'm also available to Zork you into submission.
[21:41] <guybrushthreepwo> ? you think i tried to?
[21:44] <guybrushthreepwo> well i have a problem with my mythbuntu 9.10 installation. I use a terratec cinergy s2 pci hd card and have installed it following the instructions here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_S2_PCI_HD_CI#Making_it_work
[21:45] <guybrushthreepwo> the card seems to work, but i cannot do a channel scan in the mythtv backend setup
[21:46] <guybrushthreepwo> now i tried to do a manual scan, which lasted all day
[21:47] <guybrushthreepwo> i have a channels.conf now, but when trying to import i in the mythtv backend setup, i am told: no channels found.
[21:47] <guybrushthreepwo> can someone give me a hint on that?
[21:51] <MTughan__> We're trying to get a PVR-350 remote working in Mythbuntu 9.10. It was working previously in KnoppMyth with the lirc_pvr150 driver, but that doesn't seem to be included. Is there someplace we can get it, or another driver that does work?
[22:54] <Outbreak_Monkey> hello all, I'm going crazy here... sound suddenly stopped working.. for no apparent reason:
[22:54] <Outbreak_Monkey> checked the mixer settings
[22:55] <Outbreak_Monkey> (using SPDIF - iec 958)
[22:55] <Outbreak_Monkey> works fine in XBMC (directly addressing the SPDIF output)
[22:56] <Outbreak_Monkey> literally haven't changed a thing, went to bed last night everything working.. came in this morning.. no sound
[22:56] <Outbreak_Monkey> tried every combination of Audio utput and Mixer Device in mythtv frontend
[22:56] <Outbreak_Monkey> enabled/disabled spdif passthrough
[22:57] <Outbreak_Monkey> tried every combination of mixer settings /muting/unmuting/iec958 default pcm etc..
[22:57] <Outbreak_Monkey> I've had these problems before on different machines... running Ubuntu 8.10 but never with Mythbuntu
[22:57] <Outbreak_Monkey> pretty sure it's a distro issue not a mythtv issue...
[22:58] <Outbreak_Monkey> any thoughts
[22:58] <rhpot1991> Outbreak_Monkey: run alsa-mixer, make sure your iec* aren't muted
[22:59] <Outbreak_Monkey> checked that.. not muted..
[22:59] <Outbreak_Monkey> for safety i toggled them to muted.. tried again.. then went back.. unmuted.. tried again.. no sound
