[02:40] ended up having to grant my own permissions in mysql but seems to be working now. thanks for the good work [04:02] i want to vnc to my backend but forgot my password how do i reset it? [04:05] vncpasswd [04:05] save the password to ~/.vnc/ [04:05] there is a file in there [04:05] and then restart [04:06] or logout/in [04:09] thanks [05:49] allo/hi [06:22] how I make a virtual dvd drive maded for the command line make their files permissions as my own ... === tritium_ is now known as tritium [08:25] ATI x300 haup win150 P4 2GHZ 1gig ram [08:26] blank screen after reboot on setup [10:23] Hi, I've just completed the Dutch translation of the Mythbuntu Control Centre... are there any packages left that can be translated and are mythbuntu-specific? [14:33] Setting up HDHomerun there is an information block that is used to enter your COUNTRY. The USA is not a selection. How can I change the selection to include Canada and USA for Cable?

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