| [02:29] <bsdfox> hi I'm running mythbuntu 9.04 and trying to connect to the backend with my gentoo-based frontends but I'm having a difficult time connecting to the database. any suggestions? | |
| [02:40] <bsdfox> ended up having to grant my own permissions in mysql but seems to be working now. thanks for the good work | |
| [04:02] <n00b> i want to vnc to my backend but forgot my password how do i reset it? | |
| [04:05] <superm1> vncpasswd | |
| [04:05] <superm1> save the password to ~/.vnc/ | |
| [04:05] <superm1> there is a file in there | |
| [04:05] <superm1> and then restart | |
| [04:06] <superm1> or logout/in | |
| [04:09] <n00b> thanks | |
| [05:49] <entraide-net> allo/hi | |
| [06:22] <entraide-net> how I make a virtual dvd drive maded for the command line make their files permissions as my own ... | |

| [21:27] <Diskord> hello all, anyone around? | |
| [21:27] <darthanubis> !anyone | |
| [21:27] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about anyone | |
| [21:27] <darthanubis> Diskord, new to IRC I see? | |
| [21:28] <Diskord> a little knew | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> err new | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> lol | |
| [21:29] <darthanubis> that is cool | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> having an issue, purchased a HDHomeRun and trying to convert an old windows P4 Box over to Mythbuntu | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> I downloaded 9.04, burned the iso, slapped it in the machine | |
| [21:29] <darthanubis> "convert"? | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> it boots up fine | |
| [21:29] <darthanubis> ok? | |
| [21:29] <Diskord> remove windows, install mythbuntu | |
| [21:30] <Diskord> when I click install | |
| [21:30] <Diskord> I get the mythbuntu logo, with the bar that bounces back and forth | |
| [21:30] <Diskord> bounces for a while, then just freezes up | |
| [21:30] <Diskord> let it sit for a long, long, long time | |
| [21:30] <Diskord> then it comes up with a page full of... I have no idea what it is | |
| [21:31] <Diskord> do_page_fault +0x341/0x790 | |
| [21:31] <Diskord> ? kmap_atomic_prot+0x43/0xe0 | |
| [21:31] <Diskord> basically, it crashes | |
| [21:31] <darthanubis> do you have any onther experience installing linux? | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> it's just a standard P4 box (it's an HP box), GeForce 5200 | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> I have installed Linux a few times | |
| [21:32] <darthanubis> good | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> so what I wanted to know was if there was a way to get in to the grub menu or something | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> and change some of the options | |
| [21:32] <darthanubis> I have never used a "mythbuntu"disk before | |
| [21:32] <darthanubis> I don't see the point | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> binstall ubuntu first, then apt-get myth? | |
| [21:32] <darthanubis> I just install ubuntu proper, then the mythtv suite | |
| [21:32] <Diskord> ok | |
| [21:33] <darthanubis> that's just me | |
| [21:33] <darthanubis> never had an issue | |
| [21:33] <Diskord> well it's obvious this mythbuntu install cd isn't workin... | |
| [21:33] <darthanubis> your mileage may vary | |
| [21:33] <darthanubis> I don't like all these different names for the same stuff | |
| [21:34] <darthanubis> It is a waste of time and resources and only seems to serve to confuse people | |
| [21:34] <Diskord> downloading 9.04 | |
| [21:34] <darthanubis> gl | |
| [21:34] <Diskord> it's just an apt-get for the myth suite right? | |
| [21:34] <darthanubis> yup | |
| [21:34] <Diskord> okay | |
| [21:34] <Diskord> never have used myth beforef | |
| [21:34] <darthanubis> apt-get install either mythbuntu-foo | |
| [21:35] <darthanubis> or mythtv | |
| [21:35] <Diskord> rom there will I configure stuff (like I have a USB IR Remote receiver+remote I wanted to try and use) | |
| [21:35] <darthanubis> or mythtv-backend | |
| [21:35] <Diskord> will I need to configure it in ubuntu first, or will myth ake care of it? | |
| [21:35] <darthanubis> install the MCC (mythbuntu controll centre) | |
| [21:35] <darthanubis> it will do all the configuring for you | |
| [21:35] <Diskord> ok | |
| [21:35] <darthanubis> likek the remote | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> like* | |
| [21:36] <Diskord> the machine I am setting up I want to be both backend/frontend | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> thats fine | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> my myth machine is the backend frontend and my desktop | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> :) | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> runs like a champion | |
| [21:36] <Diskord> what package should I look for then? | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> I told you | |
| [21:36] <Diskord> just straight apt-get mythtv | |
| [21:36] <darthanubis> yup | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> okay | |
| [21:37] <darthanubis> once you open synaptic it will be OBVIOUS | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> wasn't sure if mythtv mythtv-backend mythbuntu-foo were all different or the same | |
| [21:37] <darthanubis> install EVERYTHING myth* | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> okay | |
| [21:37] <darthanubis> "foo" is a place holder | |
| [21:37] <darthanubis> no app is named "foo" | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> yeah, I know | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> I know | |
| [21:37] <Diskord> foo and bar | |
| [21:38] <darthanubis> :) | |
| [21:38] <darthanubis> right | |
| [21:38] <Diskord> I just meant I didn't know if there was a specific app I needed, or if I needed all of them | |
| [21:38] <darthanubis> don't mean to sound condescending, don't know what you know, youo know?;) | |
| [21:38] <Diskord> haven't used the ubuntu installer really much ever | |
| [21:38] <darthanubis> it is a no brainer | |
| [21:38] <Diskord> I come from a Red Hat, slackware, and a little debian background | |
| [21:38] <Diskord> my first ubuntu machine was just a few months ago | |
| [21:39] <darthanubis> but many seem to have issue it seems form the #ubuntu channel | |
| [21:39] <tgm4883> use MCC to configure the machine | |
| [21:39] <tgm4883> it will grab the packages it needs | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> ok | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> I just wish this mythbuntu cd worked | |
| [21:40] <tgm4883> whats wrong with it? | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> instead of waiting for this ubuntu iso to download :P | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> it boots up | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> I select english | |
| [21:40] <Diskord> I select "install myth" | |
| [21:40] <tgm4883> Did you verify your burn? | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> no | |
| [21:41] <tgm4883> so what happens after you install myth? | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> but I did do a "check disc for defects" after the first time it hung | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> well I click install | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> it goes to the screen with the mythbuntu logo and there is a bouncing bar that bounces left and right | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> does that for... 10-15 seconds | |
| [21:41] <Diskord> then freezes up | |
| [21:42] <Diskord> if I leave it at that screen for... 10 minutes, finally it dumps out what looks like a huge page fualt | |
| [21:42] <Diskord> but no worthwhile info that I could discern from the screen | |
| [21:42] <Diskord> was trying to find out if there was a more "verbose" install option | |
| [21:42] <Diskord> instead of the bouncing bar, if there was a way I could see what it was doing when it hangs and dies | |
| [21:43] <Diskord> but the only thing I see is a safe graphics mode (still hangs), use driver disc (don't have one that I know of) and a OEM install (haven't tried that yet, but not sure why it would help me) | |
| [21:43] <tgm4883> sounds like a bad burn/iso | |
| [21:43] <tgm4883> 9.04? | |
| [21:43] <Diskord> yeah | |
| [21:44] <Diskord> I can try another burn | |
| [21:44] <Diskord> it's not hard | |
| [21:44] <tgm4883> verify the iso first | |
| [21:44] <Diskord> ok | |
| [21:44] <Diskord> how do Iverify the iso? | |
| [21:44] <Diskord> I know how to verify the burn | |
| [21:44] <tgm4883> are you on a linux machine? | |
| [21:44] <darthanubis> md5 checksum | |
| [21:45] <Diskord> but are you meaning do a crc check on the iso? | |
| [21:45] <darthanubis> yup | |
| [21:45] <Diskord> I'm on a mac | |
| [21:45] <tgm4883> grab the md5sum file, then do "md5sum -c MD5SUM" | |
| [21:45] <tgm4883> at least, I think the name of the file is MD5SUM | |
| [21:45] <tgm4883> actually, it's probably | |
| [21:45] <tgm4883> "md5sum -c mythbuntu-9.04-MD5SUM | |
| [21:45] <tgm4883> " | |
| [21:46] <tgm4883> Diskord, what hardware? | |
| [21:46] <tgm4883> tuner, vid card? | |
| [21:46] <Diskord> vid card is a pci geforce 5200 | |
| [21:46] <Diskord> but it also has a built in vid card that I am not using | |
| [21:47] <Diskord> capture card is actually a HDHR | |
| [21:47] <tgm4883> ok | |
| [21:47] <Diskord> (HDHomeRun) | |
| [21:47] <tgm4883> yea I know | |
| [21:47] <tgm4883> I don't recall if the 9.04 problems also effect nvidia and ati cards | |
| [21:47] <Diskord> out of the 5200 I am just using DVI to HDMI in to the plasma | |
| [21:47] <tgm4883> the new xorg in 9.04 if F-ing stuff up | |
| [21:47] <tgm4883> Personally, I run 8.04 on my backend | |
| [21:48] <tgm4883> but i'll probably upgrade to 9.10 if 0.22 is in it | |
| [21:49] <Diskord> attempting md5sum check | |
| [21:51] <Diskord> wow, this is slow :p | |
| [21:51] <Diskord> I suppose reading every byte isn't the quickest | |
| [21:51] <tgm4883> it shouldn't take terribly long | |
| [21:51] <Diskord> checksum matches | |
| [21:52] <Walzmyn> I'm new to setting up mythbuntu, it dosen't seem to be detecting my incoming signal, how can i re-run the setup? | |
| [21:52] <tgm4883> Walzmyn, from a command line, do 'mythtv-setup' | |
| [21:53] <Walzmyn> tgm4883: oh, and I thought it would be obscure. I shoulda just tried that | |
| [21:53] <tgm4883> Diskord, try burning the disk slow | |
| [21:53] <tgm4883> Walzmyn, yep, you can also start it from MCC | |
| [21:53] <tgm4883> Diskord, so burn the disk slow and try again | |
| [21:53] <Walzmyn> MCC? | |
| [21:53] <tgm4883> mythbuntu-control-centre | |
| [21:54] <Walzmyn> oh, that was my other question. I'm used to KDE, where do you adjust screen resolution and the like in XFCE/Myth? | |
| [21:54] <tgm4883> Walzmyn, what vid card? | |
| [21:54] <Walzmyn> nvidia | |
| [21:55] <tgm4883> from MCC you can launch the nvidia tool | |
| [21:55] <tgm4883> it's nvidia-settings I think | |
| [21:55] <Walzmyn> tgm4883: it's an older on, don't remember the specifics | |
| [21:55] <tgm4883> and IIRC, needs to be run as root | |
| [21:55] <Walzmyn> ok, I'm familiar with that. KDE's got something on top of it | |
| [21:56] <Walzmyn> Thankyouverymuch. Soon as my wife wakes up (couch in living room) I'll give it a try | |
| [21:56] <tgm4883> Walzmyn, np | |
| [21:56] <tgm4883> FYI, you can run mythtv-setup over ssh if you like | |
| [21:56] <tgm4883> ssh backendip -X -Y | |
| [21:57] <tgm4883> then just mythtv-setup | |
| [21:57] <Walzmyn> hmm | |
| [21:57] <tgm4883> anyway, off to replace my cable crimper that the directv guy stole | |
| [21:57] <Walzmyn> HA! | |
| [22:25] <Diskord> I'm back | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> so checked MD5 sum (verified) | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> did another burn, slow and did verification on the burn (passed) | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> tried again, still crashed | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> so pulled out an external USB DVD drive, booted up off that | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> same crash | |
| [22:26] <Diskord> so I am running memtest right now, just for sanity to make sure it isn't my memory | |
| [22:27] <Diskord> I did a ctr-alt-f1 during the boot, to view the actual progresswhe | |
| [22:27] <Diskord> when it went to load the drivers there were a ton of SQUASHFS errors | |
| [22:28] <Walzmyn> diskord when is it crashing? | |
| [22:28] <Diskord> put disk in, boots up, select language as english, select "install mythbuntu" and during the loading screen it crashes | |
| [22:29] <Diskord> memtest has now passed 102% | |
| [22:29] <Diskord> Pass complete, no errors | |
| [22:29] <Walzmyn> will it run if you use the "try mythbuntu without instlaling" option? | |
| [22:29] <Diskord> no | |
| [22:29] <Diskord> It's just a GeForce 5200 | |
| [22:29] <Diskord> that is on the HCL | |
| [22:30] <Walzmyn> above my head, bud. | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> so trying without installing | |
| [22:30] <Walzmyn> :( | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> did ctr-alt-f1 | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> watching the verbose report of the boot | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> crashed | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> gah | |
| [22:30] <Diskord> so frustrating | |
| [22:31] <Diskord> segfault and then a kernel panic | |
| [22:32] <Diskord> I don't even know where to start on troubleshooting this | |
| [22:42] <Diskord> I guess I will try an Ubuntu install now | |
| [22:42] <Diskord> and see if I can apt-get myth from there | |
| [22:42] <Diskord> would rather install mythbuntu... but that doesn't seem to be working | |
| [23:06] <darthanubis> tried to tell him | |
