[02:18] <rhpot1991> Just pushed out the hdhomerun gui/config/library to the testing ppa, if anyone wants to kick them around let me know how they work out. I'll be around later to work on them some more.
[02:37] <mazda01> can anyone help me figure out mythbuntu X11 server issues after an upgrade. I can't see the start menu (if I can call it that)
[02:48] <Technophil> rhpot1991: Does that have anything to do with http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/7624 ?
[02:48] <rhpot1991> Technophil: nope, its the configuration utility. http://www.silicondust.com/downloads/linux
[02:57] <Technophil> rhpot1991: Sorry I don't think I can do that for you.
[03:08] <gotmilk82> I am having trouble with my machine and the latest kernel updates. Dell says that it can be fixed with a bios update....no linux updater....only windows. So I tried to create a bootable USB pen drive with wintoflash and that worked great but wanted to install win 7....I just want to install the BIOS update and be done with it...any ideas?
[03:10] <gotmilk82> I could never get it to get into anything that resembled dos and I could not find a way to start the DELLBIOSUPDATER.exe instead of the setup.exe they had. I changed the autoblah, but no dice :(
[03:14] <tgm4883> gotmilk82, uh, how is that related to mythtv?
[03:14] <gotmilk82> its not, but it is related to ubuntu-mythtv
[03:15] <gotmilk82> ;)
[03:16] <tgm4883> gotmilk82, well, being that this is the primary support channel for Mythbuntu, I don't think so
[03:16] <tgm4883> you are probably looking for #ubuntu

[03:20] <iamlindoro> think he did those two things out of order
[03:20] <tgm4883> heh, yea I think so
[03:25] <tim-> anyone have a recommendation for a screen issue.. mythbuntu 9.10 box with an nvidia 9300 plugged into a 42" lcd.. the sides and top/bottom of the screen are all missing
[03:26] <tgm4883> tim-, screen wizard?
[03:26] <tim-> tgm4883: not familiar with that? what is it? i went through the nvidia-settings config
[03:27] <tgm4883> tim-, that would be in the mythtv frontend
[04:51] <bllz> Does anybody know how I can solve the opengl painter issue whereby my forntend menu fades to black after a few seconds? I rather like the opengl effects, so if there's a fix, i'd like to use it
[04:51] <bllz> it's strange because I definitely see a functional menu for a few seconds before it fades
[04:58] <tgm4883> bllz, I didn't know there was an opengl issue about that. Fading to black sounds more like screensaver
[04:59] <bllz> tgm4883: well it's triggered only on the frontend... and only when I have opengl painting enabled
[04:59] <bllz> and it happens within about 5 seconds
[04:59] <bllz> once it's faded to black hitting buttons does nothing, unless I hit stop enough times to bring up the prompt to quit the frontend
[05:00] <tgm4883> bllz, odd
[05:00] <tgm4883> never heard of it, sorry. I'm doing some video editing for the wifey or i'd help you. Do the logs say anything?
[05:00] <bllz> tgm4883: haha no problem =)
[05:01] <bllz> tgm4883: hmm good point, I should probably check those
[05:01] <bllz> mind if I pastebin them for you?
[05:01] <tgm4883> go ahead
[05:01] <tgm4883> I don't guarentee when I can look
[05:01] <bllz> tgm4883: oh yeah I totally understand. ok let me do that...
[05:22] <edizzle> Have an ssh problem I upgraded to 9.10 and now sshd does not work. I uninstalled and now cannot get installed:Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:22] <edizzle> : /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client_1%3a5.1p1-6ubuntu2_i386.deb
[05:22] <edizzle> /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a5.1p1-6ubuntu2_i386.deb
[05:22] <edizzle> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[05:22] <edizzle> i tried clearing cache and other things i googled, but no luck so far. any one have ideas or same issue?
[05:26] <bllz> edizzle: try #ubuntu
[05:26] <edizzle> bliz: what is difference?
[05:27] <bllz> edizzle: more people, and it doesn't sound like you have a myhtbuntu-specific problem
[05:28] <edizzle> bliz: ok
[05:33] <edizzle> anyone is welcome to help if they would like :)
[06:07] <tralph> I just installed Mythbuntu 9.10 and was wondering what the root password is for mysql
[06:07] <tralph> it never prompted me, that I recall, during the installation process
[06:08] <tgm4883> tralph, should be the same as your main user
[06:09] <tralph> let me try that again
[06:10] <tralph> ran mysql -u root -p and entered the password that works for user mythtv but still failed
[06:10] <tralph> the mysql password for root and mythtv are different
[06:18] <tralph> reinstalled mysql-server which allowed me to change it
[06:18] <tralph> it's working now
[06:18] <tralph> thanks
[06:40] <bllz> Does anybody know how I can solve the opengl painter issue whereby my forntend menu fades to black after a few seconds? I rather like the opengl effects, so if there's a fix, i'd like to use it
[06:40] <bllz> the strange thing is the problem doesn't appear until I reboot
[06:41] <bllz> logs are here: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f46465930
[06:53] <bllz> go figure... everybody is afk... =(
[06:56] <iamlindoro> you have media in the drive or flash drive which contains pictures, and you have the mediamonitor turned on
[06:56] <iamlindoro> it's switching to gallery display mode
[06:56] <iamlindoro> so turn off media monitor or remove the media
[06:56] <iamlindoro> has nothing to do with the painter, though
[06:57] <bllz> iamlindoro: if this works, you are a god
[06:57] <bllz> iamlindoro: any idea why it only happens with the painter turned on?
[06:58] <bllz> iamlindoro: when you say I have media in the drive, do you mean on the local harddisk or in a cdrom bay?
[07:03] <bllz> iamlindoro: i love you
[07:03] <bllz> i love you
[07:03] <bllz> it's fixed
[07:03] <bllz> *sigh*

[11:46] <MattMoose> hello, newbie question: is MythTV suitable (or overkill) for capturing analog video then burning it to DVD?
[17:08] <bllz> MattMoose: it depends... what video analog video source? live tv?
[17:08] <bllz> or something else
[19:44] <rhpot1991> anyone paying attention?

[22:22] <darthanubis> anyone with the link to start mythtv with pulseaudio support?
[22:41] <darthanubis> PULSE_INTERNAL=1 mythfrontend
[22:41] <darthanubis> now I forget where to put this
[22:44] <darthanubis> export EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1
[22:59] <mrand> !pulse
[22:59] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about pulse
[22:59] <mrand> !pulse-audio
[22:59] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about pulse-audio
[22:59] <mrand> !pulse audio
[22:59] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about pulse audio
[22:59] <mrand> sigh
[22:59] <mrand> !pulse
[22:59] <mrand> !pulse%
[22:59] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about pulse
[22:59] <mrand> yes you do
[22:59] <Zinn> Pulse Audio, aka kitten killer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio for more information. Pulse Audio seems to cause problems with MythTV. If you are having trouble, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460579 for potential work arounds
[22:59] <mrand> see, told you.
[23:45] <darthanubis> rhpot1991, which file to put export EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1?
[23:47] <darthanubis> /usr/share/mythtv/mythfrontend.sh?
