[00:03:03] elmojo: superm1: understood... I just don't understand the desire to be secure for the mysql installation in the first place... probably better to leave that up to the advanced user to perform post install
[00:03:38] elmojo: superm1: not complaining but it just makes compatibility to some of the stock scripts problematic
[00:07:37] elmojo: superm1: so if a person wants to restore a prior database they need to know the mysql root password and understand that when creating a new database it resets the mythtv user password to mythtv which leaves the mythtv configuration files with the wrong password

[00:28:46] den0ts_: hey i got my guide working with schedules direct
[00:28:56] den0ts_: but when i go to click "watch tv"
[00:29:04] den0ts_: it turns black for a second, then kicks me back to the mythtv menu
[00:29:11] den0ts_: dont i have to tune the card to the right channel first?
[00:29:20] den0ts_: i have tried googling for the command to do that but cant find anything
[00:30:03] Dagmar: Here's an idea. Try looking at the backend logs.
[00:30:20] den0ts_: ivtv-tune -taustralia -c10 -d/dev/video1
[00:30:23] den0ts_: i found that
[00:30:28] den0ts_: what flag do i use for US direct tv
[00:30:40] wagnerrp: what flag? for what?
[00:30:52] poodyp (poodyp!n=poodyp@adsl-76-194-209-224.dsl.lsan03.sbcglobal.net) has joined #mythtv-users
[00:30:53] wagnerrp: there is no 'flag' for ivtv-tune, if thats what you mean
[00:30:54] den0ts_: ivtv-tune -WHATGOESHERE -c03 -d/dev/video0
[00:30:57] Dagmar: Yeah, I'm not getting involved in this one.
[00:31:03] wagnerrp: what goes there? nothing
[00:31:07] wagnerrp: you dont tune anything
[00:31:12] Dagmar: I think I've had enough specialness for one day.
[00:31:12] den0ts_: really?
[00:31:19] wagnerrp: because directtv is not receivable by an ivtv card
[00:31:39] wagnerrp: in fact its not receivable by ANY card you can use with mythtv
[00:31:51] den0ts_: well how do i get the card to the right channel?
[00:31:55] den0ts_: i mean i had it working for a year
[00:31:58] wagnerrp: you dont use a channel
[00:32:01] wagnerrp: you dont use the tuner
[00:32:04] den0ts_: i just built a new pc so im trying to get it set up again
[00:32:26] wagnerrp: if youre setting a channel to use directtv with mythtv, youre doing it wrong
[00:33:11] wagnerrp: you tell mythtv to use the svideo input
[00:33:23] den0ts_: im not using svideo
[00:33:24] wagnerrp: if you cant use svideo for whatever reason, you use composite
[00:33:25] den0ts_: im using coax
[00:33:36] Dagmar: "well how do i get the card to the right channel?" and "i mean i had it working for a year"
[00:33:41] wagnerrp: if you cant use coax, throw away your STB and have directtv send you the new one
[00:33:43] Dagmar: Something... something's amiss there.
[00:33:53] wagnerrp: s/coax/omposite/
[00:34:03] wagnerrp: you should never be using coaxial for analog capture
[00:34:38] wagnerrp: and you really shouldnt be using composite unless youre trying to capture from a VHS tape
[00:34:53] wagnerrp: at which point you should reconsider why youre trying to capture from a VHS tape in the first place

[00:56:23] iamlindoro: there is none, as the user is not meant to modify those values
[00:56:37] wagnerrp: there is a page for 'capturecard table' on the wiki, but its nothing more than what you can get from 'desc capturecard;'

[00:57:07] pelmen: guys having problem with my ion mythbuntu install. Output from hdmi seems to not be able to fit into plasma tv
[00:57:10] wagnerrp: most of the 'table' pages on the wiki have nothing more than that information
[00:57:11] pelmen: panel shows 1080p input, and resolution in nvidia config – 1920–1080
[00:57:32] Mandingo-Laptop: yeh i found one some time back that also explained how the card dev/video was gonna changed to dev/adapter/ etc...
[00:57:33] wagnerrp: pelmen: thats because your plasma tv is overscanning
[00:57:36] Mandingo-Laptop: so i know its there
[00:57:54] sphery: Mandingo-Laptop: what are you trying to do? Just use mythtv-setup to configure your card.
[00:57:59] pelmen: wagnerrp: what should i do ?
[00:58:01] wagnerrp: Mandingo-Laptop: no, those are dev nodes for two separate APIs
[00:58:12] wagnerrp: one is for V4L cards, the other for DVB cards
[00:58:27] wagnerrp: pelmen: go into the frontend settings, and the screen setup wizard
[00:58:36] Mandingo-Laptop: let me check under the dev stuff
[00:58:39] wagnerrp: to tell mythtv where the limits of your screen are
[00:58:47] pelmen: yeah i am not able to push apply because i do not see the button :)
[00:58:52] pelmen: wagnerrp: :)
[00:59:54] wagnerrp: yeah, that seems to be a problem with that dialog
[01:00:23] wagnerrp: i cant recommend anything besides open another instance of mythfrontend on a laptop next to you, so you can predict what youre clicking on
[01:00:38] sphery: and click with the keyboard, not the mouse
[01:00:49] sphery: i.e. left/right/up/down/space (or enter)
[01:01:00] wagnerrp: besides that, that dialog needs to be reworked anyway
[01:01:13] wagnerrp: bad things happen if you run it a second time without resetting it
[01:01:46] pelmen: wagnerrp: if i adjust errors and then click ESC nothing happens
[01:02:01] wagnerrp: thats because 'esc' cancels the settings and backs out
[01:02:10] pelmen: wagnerrp: enter seems to switch between arrows
[01:02:11] wagnerrp: you need to hit the proper item in the menu
[01:02:24] wagnerrp: 'm' brings up a menu
[01:02:26] pelmen: is the an alt-LETTER combination ?
[01:02:28] wagnerrp: as it does all over mythtv
[01:02:29] pelmen: aha
[01:03:31] pelmen: wagnerrp: interesting, now mythtv frontend is half the size of the tv
[01:04:16] wagnerrp: thats the kind of things that happen if you run it a second time without resetting the values

[01:05:23] pelmen: wagnerrp: nope: quit without saving, coarse/fine adjust, close menu
[01:05:57] pelmen: uh wait
[01:05:59] pelmen: got it
[01:06:07] pelmen: wagnerrp: final question... a
[01:06:44] pelmen: wagnerrp: although my frontend seems to be alligned to the tv... if i exit it, overal panels are missing,
[01:06:51] pelmen: because they don't fit
[01:06:53] wagnerrp: panels?
[01:06:54] pelmen: is it normal ?
[01:06:58] pelmen: well xfce
[01:07:02] sphery: because your TV is overscanning :)
[01:07:09] wagnerrp: mythtv has no control over xfce
[01:07:40] wagnerrp: the same problem that you just fixed with mythtv is going to plague every other program on that system
[01:07:50] sphery: for overscan, there are 3 fixes--1) scale the image using the TV's zoom functions, 2) scale the X output using a custom modeline, or 3) use something like Myth's Appearance Wizard to scale only the one app
[01:07:59] sphery: 3 has the obvious downside it affects only one app
[01:08:03] pelmen: wagnerrp: so let's say right now i am happy with how frontend fits......but if i exit it, and use as desctop.. i will have problems right ?
[01:08:11] wagnerrp: correct
[01:08:12] ctmjr: i just use nvidia settings to correct overscan
[01:08:28] pelmen: ctmjr: tell me how to do that..please
[01:08:29] kormoc: only works with certain nvidia cards
[01:08:40] kormoc: (and outputs)
[01:08:43] wagnerrp: kormoc: i believe they added that back into the drivers
[01:08:54] wagnerrp: but it probably only works for TV outputs
[01:09:02] wagnerrp: (composite, svideo, component)
[01:09:06] pelmen: wagnerrp: i see
[01:09:23] pelmen: i am fine with overscanning, as long as frontend looks good.
[01:09:38] sphery: pelmen: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Overscan
[01:09:48] wagnerrp: your tv may be able to disable overscan
[01:09:55] pelmen: also repositories seem to be very limited... i want webmin and some other stuff
[01:09:56] sphery: I haven't read the page, so I can't tell you how useful that info is, but it's a start
[01:09:59] pelmen: hmm
[01:09:59] wagnerrp: look for something called 'pixel exact mode', or something along those lines
[01:10:15] wagnerrp: pelmen: thats up to your distro
[01:10:25] wagnerrp: outside of the purview of mythtv
[01:11:40] sphery: kormoc: for you: http://www.gocomics.com/bc/2009/12/01/
[01:11:48] Dagmar: As far as I know the nvidia-settings setting for that only works on composite or s-video outputs, and I'm doubtful about the composite output
[01:12:08] Dagmar: There's little point in adjusting overscan for a VGA/DVI signal.
[01:12:17] sphery: composite and S-Video are likely the same output
[01:12:22] sphery: perhaps you meant Component?
[01:12:28] Dagmar: No, I didn't.
[01:12:55] Dagmar: Most of the cards that have an actual composite output won't work with it because they use a wholly different (and seriously ancient) driver to make it work
[01:14:03] Dagmar: Looks like nVidia stopped worrying about composite output ages ago since it's trivial to convert an s-video output to that
[01:14:54] sphery: don't they still output composite in a 6- or 7-pin mini-DIN (where S-Video is only 4 of those pins)
[01:15:11] sphery: i.e. not converting, but just connecting the right wires
[01:16:02] kormoc: sphery: ++
[01:16:12] sphery: I have to admit I haven't paid attention to composite/S-Video/Component in a very long time, so I may be way out of date
[01:16:34] sphery: kormoc: yeah, thought you might relate to that comic :)

[02:47:58] den0ts_: i clicked it, and it is a frame of "ants"/static
[02:48:19] wagnerrp: then if you insist on using the tuner for input
[02:48:34] wagnerrp: you must set it to default to channel 3 or 4, which ever your STB requires
[02:48:39] wagnerrp: you can set that in mythtv-setup
[02:49:02] Dagmar: All this is covered by the installation guide and common sense
[02:50:27] den0ts_: ok i changed the channel to 3 with ivtv command
[02:50:35] den0ts_: i did the cat command again
[02:50:38] den0ts_: and it shows a picture
[02:51:02] wagnerrp: it shows what your STB is currently outputting
[02:51:13] wagnerrp: now you need to tell mythtv to force the tuner to channel 3
[02:51:23] wagnerrp: and then you need to give it a channel change script
[02:51:28] wagnerrp: this is all in the documentation
[02:51:43] den0ts_: ok the option , is it called "preset tuner to chanel"
[02:51:54] den0ts_: i have the channel change script
[02:51:54] wagnerrp: something like that

[03:02:37] danielk22: k_ross: heresay. if i can't cross it doesn't count :)
[03:02:37] Dagmar: ...and then check the syslog to see if it had reason to complain
[03:03:10] Dagmar: nVidia drivers tend to either work or spontaneously reboot
[03:04:25] den0ts_: dagmar, i have gone through that
[03:04:41] danielk22: Latest driver from the nvidia website. Nothing in dmesg or Xorg.0.log, it plays video when composite is enabled, but it simply suffers from the same tearing in that mode that all the other nVidia cards exhibit with composite enabled w/vdpau.
[03:04:43] Dagmar: Ah well.

[03:11:27] Dagmar: No seriously it's normally green
[03:12:24] wagnerrp: decoding performance should be equivalent across cards
[03:12:37] Dagmar: Like, if nvidiafb is loaded, the nVidia X driver can't work properly, and people get this fun green box that is one solid color and quite large
[03:12:52] wagnerrp: so unless you were only marginally capable running the deint, i doubt it would make any difference to timestretch
[03:13:09] Dagmar: There's rather a lot of people reporting "mostly" pink blocks for playback tho
[03:13:19] danielk22: Dagmar: It's blue on all nvidia drivers except some of the latest ones which use nvidia green. Most other vendors use blue by default. MythTV will accept all chromakey colors except 0,0,0.
[03:13:30] Dagmar: I've found no sign of fixes beyond people upgrading drivers
[03:13:55] Dagmar: danielk22: You can keep talking about blue all you like. It won't change a thing.
[03:14:13] Dagmar: If you want to see the GREEN BOX I'm talking about, enable nvidiafb in your kernel and find out.
[03:14:23] Dagmar: It's not a chromakey error
[03:14:31] danielk22: wagnerrp: incorrect.
[03:15:41] wagnerrp: yeah, they revamped the decoder in the GT line, but i dont see why they would bump up the decoding speed
[03:16:14] wagnerrp: i thought that was just to add new formats and scalers

[03:21:26] danielk22: wagnerrp: i figure that it's just the underlying hw being more capable. i wasn't sure the GT220 would have more decode speed, because it is near the bottom of it's line, but it is capable of decoding pretty quickly. It is just the V-Sync I can't get it to do..
[03:21:26] Dagmar: I'm going to go with "that functionality is broken" after something mentioned in the notes for that release and a set of changes they made around 180.29
[03:21:50] Dagmar: "Fixed a problem in VDPAU that prevented the overlay-based presentation queue from being used on displays connected by component video."

[04:01:35] wagnerrp: no, because its using a different schema format

[04:02:02] bllz: oh well
[04:02:07] bllz: thanks, wagnerrp
[04:02:29] wagnerrp: actually, i thought it updated the database directly
[04:02:44] wagnerrp: yeah, there it is... 'use DBI'
[04:02:54] bllz: wagnerrp: what does taht mean?
[04:03:02] Dagmar: It's perl.
[04:03:08] wagnerrp: it means its loading the perl database module
[04:03:17] endeavormac (endeavormac!n=eubanks@unaffiliated/endeavormac) has joined #mythtv-users
[04:03:18] wagnerrp: i didnt see it on first glance
[04:03:26] Dagmar: it doesn't "mean" much of anything other than it's loading up some routines used to talk directly to a database.
[04:03:56] bllz: Dagmar, wagnerrp: but the point remains the same, right? namely it won't work in .22?
[04:04:07] wagnerrp: for the reason i mentioned
[04:04:10] bllz: right, okay
[04:04:34] wagnerrp: they also seem to be painfully slow
[04:04:53] Dagmar: Stuff like that will remain fragile until someone sits down and tapes together something that can read a sane XML file containing the data and then punt it into Myth's database
[04:05:13] endeavormac: whatever i did took me a step closer. i now get video, i just can't change the channel. I'm going to keep messing around with this thing
[04:05:33] Dagmar: endeavormac: What tuner card
[04:05:38] wagnerrp: stuff like that will remain fragile until someone sits down and has it output in the official MythVideo grabber format, so MythVideo will use it directly
[04:06:12] Dagmar: Seems to me that it would be saner to use a blisteringly obvious generic container format
[04:06:25] bllz: Dagmar, wagnerrp: they have another script that uses tvgrabber instead and I see a line that says "use XML::simple;" , but I also see "use DBI:" ... so that one probably has the same problem, right?
[04:06:47] Dagmar: bllz: Yes
[04:06:53] wagnerrp: if you have a grabber script that has 'use DBI', it is almost certainly adding the data directly into the database
[04:06:59] Dagmar: Unless it says up front "works with 0.22" just assume it's broken
[04:07:03] wagnerrp: at which point it is almost certainly not compatible with 0.22
[04:07:23] bllz: Dagmar: that's what I feared
[04:07:32] bllz: hmm so it looks like I really am stuck learning bash
[04:07:38] Dagmar: This is the hazard of dorking around directly with the DB
[04:07:44] bllz: bashscripting, even
[04:07:45] wagnerrp: bllz: better option would be to learn perl
[04:07:56] Dagmar: bllz: Dude there's fourteen-year-old kids writing bash code
[04:07:58] wagnerrp: and have it output in the proper MythVideo grabber format, rather than to the db
[04:07:59] Dagmar: It ain't hard.
[04:08:14] wagnerrp: in which point you can submit it, and probably get it shipped with mythtv
[04:08:26] wagnerrp: tvrage offers a freely usable API
[04:08:35] wagnerrp: so theres nothing blocking it from being included as an official grabber
[04:08:58] endeavormac: dagmar SBT_TVFM, by sabrentk

[04:09:18] endeavormac: just have to figure out what's going on with mythtv and i'm good

[04:10:12] bllz: wagnerrp: why do you suggest perl?
[04:10:23] Dagmar: bllz: because bash causes brain damage
[04:10:24] wagnerrp: because the script is already written in perl
[04:10:36] wagnerrp: all you have to do is strip out all the DB stuff
[04:10:40] Dagmar: It's an easy language to learn, but it's also quite horrible.
[04:10:44] bllz: Dagmar: haha i might already have that in my programming lobe
[04:10:44] wagnerrp: and add a couple print statements
[04:10:48] Dagmar: Perl is an easy language to learn, without being as horrible.
[04:11:35] wagnerrp: or you might be able to prod steve adeff to update it, hes in here occasionally
[04:11:54] bllz: yeah it sounds like the easiest thing will still be to learn a bit of bash and to get myth.rebuilddatabase and jamu to play nice
[04:11:56] wagnerrp: or maybe on he mailing list, i know ive seen that name around
[04:13:18] wagnerrp: the only reason they possibly wouldnt play nice is if it doesnt fill out *any* information into the database
[04:13:34] wagnerrp: and jamu doesnt know what to do with a completely empty recording
[04:15:29] bllz: wagnerrp: do you mean to say that jamu requires a file to be included in the database? I had always (probably stupidly) assumed that it wrote metadata to the file, not to the database
[04:15:51] endeavormac: damgar i was just using "modprobe saa7134 card=2" because it worked, but really i should be card=42
[04:16:06] endeavormac: however, card=42 gives me issues. searching for the right tuner for card=42 now
[04:16:09] endeavormac: though i have no idea what a tuner is
[04:16:22] wagnerrp: bllz: no, i mean to say that jamu probably expects at least the title of 'Unknown', since that is myth's default if there is no data

[04:16:55] bllz: wagnerrp: ah okay. this does not bode well for me lol =)
[04:17:01] endeavormac: well i'm iterating through all of the tuner possiblities now
[04:17:15] endeavormac: i get a couple that come through on composite 1, but i need one that comes through on TV
[04:17:36] endeavormac: unless mythtv would be able to deal with it coming over composite 1 and still change the channel
[04:17:36] wagnerrp: bllz: im saying that script would only cause problems if you have jamu grabbing data for recordings as well, and its completely broken in how it functions
[04:18:02] wagnerrp: but the easier option would probably be to just dump all those old recordings into mythvideo, and be done with it
[04:18:13] RDV_Linux: bllz: I do not know what you trying to do with Jamu but for tv shows jamu can write out metadata files instead of writing to the MythTV data base.
[04:19:09] wagnerrp: RDV_Linux: myth.rebuilddatabase.pl is a script that finds files in your recording paths but not listed in the recorded table, and adds them
[04:19:27] bllz: RDV_Linux: I frequently have new tv shows appear on my harddrive that are not the result of my recording them from livetv, and I was hoping to somehow integrate them into my recordings with myth.rebuilldatabase.pl and use jamu (or similar) for the metadata

[04:20:01] bllz: RDV_Linux: and I was hoping to do that in an automated manner rather than run myth.rebuilddatabase.pl manually each time
[04:20:24] bllz: but it sounds like it may just be easier to stick them in mythvideo
[04:20:42] wagnerrp: bllz: jamu will not add files to recorded, nor will it add files to videometadata
[04:20:57] RDV_Linux: bllz: Must those video file be viewed as a recording rather than as a MythVideo file?
[04:21:14] bllz: RDV_Linux: it's preferable, althought not strictly necessary
[04:21:16] wagnerrp: and yes, it will be FAR easier to just add them to mythvideo
[04:21:41] bllz: wagnerrp: I realize this, i was mentioning jamu as a means to scrape metadata... or did I miss your point?
[04:21:57] wagnerrp: JAMU only pulls metadata for mythvideo
[04:22:07] wagnerrp: for recordings, it only pulls images
[04:22:20] bllz: wagnerrp: ah okay. i see
[04:22:23] wagnerrp: and only if the title is one it can match to tmdb/ttvdb
[04:22:42] RDV_Linux: bllz: You could create a Mythvideo directory specifically for these files the call it recorded. I do that for myself after I did a lossless edit of a recorded file.
[04:23:20] bllz: RDV_Linux: yeah i've done that before, but it's not as sexy as having it in recordings =) It's fine though, if it's going to be this difficult to do, i'll just ues mythvideo
[04:23:45] wagnerrp: bllz: so write your own script to add the files into recordings
[04:24:10] RDV_Linux: bllz: File names will be important to give Jamu a chance to guess the TV series/episode name or movie name correctly.
[04:24:13] wagnerrp: and pull data from the shipped mythvideo scrapers
[04:24:27] bllz: wagnerrp: yeah maybe someday when I get around to learning scripts
[04:24:39] bllz: In the meantime I have an unrelated question...
[04:25:25] Dagmar: Dude, honestly if you'd read the tutorial I pointed to you the other night you'd already know how to write bash scripts
[04:25:45] RDV_Linux: bllz: To correct something Jamu can create videometadata records.
[04:25:50] wagnerrp: waiting on that question...
[04:26:08] bllz: My sound works except that i can't control the volume/mute functions in myth. when I use the corresponding button on the remote, I do see the overlay show up (i.e. the volume slider), but there's no change in the sound... my audio output devicd is ALSA:default and I've tried changing the mixer controls from PCM to master, but there's no change
[04:26:11] wagnerrp: RDV_Linux: oh? thought i remember you saying a while back it would only work on entries in videometadata
[04:26:27] bllz: i've also tried every mixer device available to no avail
[04:26:34] wagnerrp: bllz: are you using digital audio?
[04:26:42] Dagmar: bllz: So start playback and then ssh into the machine, run alsamixer from the command line, and run sliders up and down until you find the one that controls the sound. Then tell Myth to use it
[04:27:23] bllz: Dagmar: that's the other thing... alsamixer fails from the command line
[04:27:32] bllz: Dagmar: I get an "invalid arguments" error
[04:27:36] Dagmar: It really should not fail as root.
[04:27:44] Dagmar: You don't need to ass any arguments to it
[04:27:51] bllz: Dagmar: and yet...
[04:28:03] bllz: alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
[04:28:03] RDV_Linux: wagnerrp: It is only valuable for jamu to create videometadata records when it can find the reference number for the video file.
[04:28:24] wagnerrp: will alsamixer fail if youre running pulseaudio?
[04:28:28] Dagmar: Do you have more than one ALSA device perhaps?
[04:28:44] Dagmar: Like, does your tuner card have an audio device that ALSA can see? Some Bt8x8 cards do
[04:28:48] bllz: wagnerrp: as far as digital audio... I don't know much about audio. I have an onboard sound card and I run a headphone-jack-looking-plug into composite audio
[04:28:54] Dagmar: ...and ALSA f**ks up on that almost every time.
[04:29:09] wagnerrp: that would be... RCA audio, composite is a video format
[04:29:17] wagnerrp: the red-white jacks right?
[04:29:18] bllz: Dagmar: I'm not sure how to check for multiple alsa devices
[04:29:28] bllz: wagnerrp: yes. and I should mention that the sound works
[04:29:34] Dagmar: There's a command to make alsa tell you how many devices it sees
[04:29:36] bllz: the sound controls do not
[04:29:48] wagnerrp: the point being that you cannot change the volume or mute digital audio
[04:29:56] bllz: wagnerrp: correct
[04:30:25] wagnerrp: when you start mythfrontend, do the logs mention anything about pulseaudio?
[04:30:40] bllz: wagnerrp: let me check
[04:30:44] [R]: why do so many companies suck at making good documentation... all i want to know is how to send an "exit" key to my STB via firewire... is that so hard to ask?
[04:31:14] wagnerrp: [R]: yes
[04:31:17] bllz: [R]: but then they'd have no way of locking you into their shitty contracts and sub-par hardware, communist!
[04:31:22] [R]: haha
[04:31:26] wagnerrp: why would any consumer need such information?
[04:31:35] wagnerrp: surely they would only be using it for nefarious goals
[04:31:40] bllz: why would a consumer need anything more than a long rape of rapes?
[04:31:54] [R]: i got my channel changing program working great and 10x simpler than most of the crap i found online
[04:32:00] [R]: i just want to send EXIT to clear the osd faster
[04:32:00] Dagmar: If you _deserved_ that information, you'd be writing them a check to rent one of their engineers from them for a few weeks to help you develop your product.
[04:32:18] [R]: Dagmar: i dont need help... i just want to read the stupid spec

[04:32:57] bllz: wagnerrp; stupid question, but I should just look at the logs from the mythbuntu log grabber, right? or should i start the frontend at the command line and see if pulseaudio shows up?
[04:33:06] bllz: or third option?
[04:33:19] wagnerrp: well ubuntu uses pulseaudio
[04:33:25] wagnerrp: i dont know what mythbuntu does to it
[04:33:35] wagnerrp: it may just use myth's built in capability to disable pulseaudio

[04:37:12] Dagmar: I'm still trying to pound the stupid out of grub2, but that's where their documentation said they hooked it into ALSA
[04:37:23] Dagmar: Generally, you can get by with no asound.conf at all

[05:07:09] bllz: btw here's the contents of /proc/asound/cards: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel – HDA Intel
[05:07:09] bllz: HDA Intel at 0xfbffc000 irq 16
[05:07:13] Dagmar: It would see the bttv devices, and load them in as card 0
[05:07:41] Dagmar: Then it would see my sound blaster card, and start filling in it's devices, but it would senselessly kind stack them on top
[05:08:02] Dagmar: parts of the sound blaster wound up being treated as the bttv card for all I could tell
[05:08:21] Dagmar: Hmm... Jus the one device? That's both bad and good.
[05:08:36] Dagmar: it's good because it means there's no extra/spurious mixer devices screwing things up
[05:08:40] bllz: Dagmar: yeah hard to put one device out of order
[05:08:46] Dagmar: It's bad because the HDA intel driver is probably the most chaotic driver they have
[05:09:00] bllz: oh boy lol
[05:09:14] Dagmar: It's probably just screwing up entirely and misdetecting your chipset variant
[05:10:02] Dagmar: The fix is likely going to be to set a kernel module option to override it's failed attempt at detecting your hardware correctly.
[05:10:32] bllz: Dagmar: sounds daunting
[05:10:37] Dagmar: Not really.
[05:10:59] Dagmar: If the machine was rebooted anytime today, type this... (without typing backticks) `dmesg | grep hda`
[05:11:12] Dagmar: well, hda_codec instead of hda
[05:11:23] Dagmar: Hopefully it's chattered something to the syslog about it not being entirely sure of itself
[05:11:34] Dagmar: See also: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=28915
[05:11:35] bllz: Dagmar: let me restart it real quick
[05:11:44] Dagmar: You don't need to restart it
[05:12:07] Dagmar: dmesg outputs a _ring buffer_ so if tehre's a bunch of crap that's been written to the syslog, the stuff from bootup will be lost
[05:12:20] Dagmar: HOWEVER, it's generally also written to /var/log/syslog and or /var/log/messages
[05:12:50] Dagmar: The ringbuffer is used because the kernel needs to be able to write important stuff _somewhere_ before a disk is available to store it more permanently
[05:12:58] Dagmar: It's also about 8k in length IIRC
[05:13:05] bllz: so /var/log/messages | grep hda?
[05:13:16] clever: Dagmar: that size can be changed at compile file
[05:13:17] Dagmar: hda_codec
[05:13:30] Dagmar: ...but since you're dealing with a file you can just `grep hda_codec /var/log/blablab"
[05:13:30] bllz: okay hang on
[05:13:59] clever: ive found that things like apparmor are very spammy and overflow the ring buffer before the tools can get the info they need
[05:14:08] bllz: christ that's a lot of output
[05:14:10] bllz: okay let me pastebin that
[05:14:12] Dagmar: The first invocation calls dmesg, which makes it spool the ringbuffer to standard output... the pipe (|) makes that output go through grep, which when not given a filename, listens to standard input
[05:14:50] Dagmar: Since /var/log/messages is a file you don't need to cat it out or anything, you can just tell grep to look in it
[05:15:23] bllz: http://pastebin.com/m704f1fce
[05:15:58] Dagmar: They should make it more clear that that's basically an error
[05:16:47] bllz: certainly looks like we're sniffing in the right direction
[05:17:43] Dagmar: bllz: Now comes the fun stuff. look at http://pastebin.com/meea0608
[05:18:00] Dagmar: That's the output of two commands. lspci -v and lspci -n. lspci lives in /sbin generally
[05:18:00] bllz: what's that?
[05:18:11] Dagmar: It's the same information, represented different ways.
[05:18:22] bllz: okay
[05:18:47] Dagmar: Note down the leftmost side it shows devices based on their numbering (which is mostly made up, but consistent between boots which is all we care about)
[05:19:00] clever: the numbers in -n are directly from the card, while the names are from a text file and are likely to change or refer to many cards
[05:19:15] bllz: okay
[05:19:20] clever: the numbers are generaly better, but dont mean much on there own
[05:19:21] Dagmar: The /sbin/lspci command by itself gives information meant for humans to read
[05:19:23] Dagmar: We want more than that
[05:19:35] clever: yeah
[05:19:36] Dagmar: Irritatingly, the damn thing doesn't make it EASY To associate the two (that I've found)
[05:19:37] Dagmar: So...
[05:19:51] Dagmar: Run /sbin/lspci. Look for the entry that is (apparently) your sound card.
[05:20:04] Dagmar: Make a note of it's bus id (the 00:0d.0 part on the left)
[05:20:21] bllz: okay
[05:20:26] Dagmar: Then run lspci -n and match that number against that list to find out it's product and vendor codes.
[05:20:44] Dagmar: The product and vendor codes are, in my example, the parts that say "10d3:055e"
[05:21:03] Dagmar: These vendor and product codes are supposed to uniquely identify every piece of PCI hardware you can possibly plug in
[05:21:24] Dagmar: 10d3 being the vendor, 055e being the product in my example

[05:48:32] superm1: elmojo, the ideal is that you dont leave a potential for a totally unsecured installation (eg if you pick to enable mysql on the enet interface and no root password). how do you propose it be presented to the user? i'd like to think that's a pretty low use case, and most people who try to do it will find hmm it doesn't work, so lets try the "only" password i gave it during install
[05:54:33] wagnerrp: superm1: give it a randomized password, stored in some root-readable-only file?
[05:55:01] ** wagnerrp is scrolling back to see what the complaint was **
[05:55:55] bllz: Next question of the night... Has anybody ever gotten On Demand to work under myth?
[05:56:34] wagnerrp: bllz: such a thing will never work well with mythtv
[05:56:52] bllz: wagnerrp: hmm that's too bad
[05:57:18] wagnerrp: doing so would require you to run a screen reader to parse out the available content, and then a complex IR script to control it
[05:57:35] wagnerrp: both of which would have to be tailored to each specific installation
[05:58:04] bllz: wagnerrp: really? I thought it was just a matter of tuning to channel 0 and passing certain IR functions off to irsend while tuned to 0
[05:58:16] bllz: namely the up, down, left, right and OK buttons
[05:58:20] wagnerrp: you *can* set up a manual record, and manually control your STB
[05:58:38] bllz: wagnerrp: what do you mean by manual record?
[05:58:49] wagnerrp: you *can* set up a dummy channel to use for livetv, after which you would manually control your STB

[05:59:02] wagnerrp: i mean a manual record
[05:59:09] wagnerrp: VCR-style
[05:59:19] wagnerrp: as opposed to the listings based automatic records
[05:59:49] wagnerrp: but even if you did either of those two options, it would be a pain to manage
[06:00:06] wagnerrp: due to the 2–4s lag between output from your STB, and output by mythtv
[06:00:23] wagnerrp: something which will not likely ever go away
[06:00:51] bllz: wagnerrp: maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but if I tune to channel zero, I can use the irsend command to navigate the on demand menu without a problem... so it sounds like it's just a question of passing on those commands to irsend while on channel 0. I don't realy care about doing anything fancy like pausing or rewinding On Demand (which i could do from the frontend anyway)
[06:01:23] wagnerrp: bllz: mythtv does not know what is on those channels
[06:01:31] wagnerrp: so you would have no metadata to go along with the recording
[06:01:44] wagnerrp: and you would have to manually schedule the start and end time

[06:02:24] wagnerrp: it *can* be done, but there is no good way to do it
[06:02:52] wagnerrp: and thats besides the point that there is no system in place to send IR commands to the backend
[06:02:58] wagnerrp: you would have to set that up all on your own
[06:03:09] wagnerrp: or would have to have the STB in the same room that you were viewing in

[06:18:49] bllzz: wagnerrp: alternate inputs for what?
[06:18:56] wagnerrp: to the encoder chip

[06:19:46] wagnerrp: http://registration.hauppauge.com/webstore/im . . . able_big.gif
[06:20:14] wagnerrp: yes, composite 1 is probably what you want

[06:22:49] wagnerrp: why would you be capturing the output of your computer?
[06:22:55] bllzz: wagnerrp: i'm not
[06:23:08] bllzz: wagnerrp: i was simply stating that I have no way to get svideo from the computer to the tv
[06:23:26] wagnerrp: then why did you say your video card had no svideo, when i said you should be capturing using svideo?
[06:24:04] bllzz: wagnerrp: because i'm not sure I see the point in capturing svideo if the quality is going to be downgraded to composite anyway
[06:24:20] kormoc: svideo is typically better then composite
[06:24:26] bllzz: right
[06:24:27] wagnerrp: no sense degrading it more than needs be
[06:24:38] bllzz: capture in composite and output via composite
[06:24:53] kormoc: double degrading!
[06:24:54] bllzz: in the final analysis, isn't that the same as caputring in svideo and outputting via compoiste?
[06:24:58] kormoc: nopers
[06:25:00] bllzz: aah
[06:25:06] bllzz: it would seem I don't understand how these things work =)
[06:25:07] kormoc: you degrade it with every conversion
[06:25:25] bllzz: interesting

[11:21:46] root is now known as oobe
[11:22:42] Finswimmer: I am using: 0.22_p22860
[11:22:45] oobe: create a channels.conf and get mythtv-setup to import that
[11:23:05] Finswimmer: oobe: Not working "Error parsing"
[11:23:24] Finswimmer: It must be a channels.conf that is working with tzap, right?
[11:23:24] oobe: you can also tell it which transports to scan
[11:23:29] oobe: its a bit tedious
[11:24:04] stuarta: oobe: the right answer is to work out why its not finding channels
[11:24:16] stuarta: not use the bodge solution of importing channel.conf
[11:24:16] Finswimmer: I tried that too, but alwas the same. It gets Signal Strength around 60%, sometimes a "Lock", but still finds no channels.
[11:24:55] stuarta: Finswimmer: have you tried increasing the timeouts on the card config
[11:25:48] stuarta: they can be a bit short by default
[11:28:08] Finswimmer: Ive increased the timeouts, but even then there is immediatly a "Timeout Scanning offset 1 – no signal".

[15:54:38] elmojo: superm1: but I'm sure you have a much better perspective of what is needed to be presented to a user than myself. so if you think mentioning this would confuse people then so be it
[15:56:20] elmojo: superm1: it was easy enough for me to reinstall/reconfigure mysql-server-5.1 when I ran into so no biggie
[15:57:49] superm1: elmojo, yeah that's what one of the usability guys who works on the general ubuntu installer was saying to us, to not try to present anything the user won't need to know during install
[15:58:18] superm1: if it's absolutely necessary, it's better for a first boot welcome guide
[15:59:09] superm1: as soon as we have our documentation sorted out better on the new site, it should be more google-able too
[16:03:43] elmojo: superm1: understood... overall the installation is awesome... I'm sure it's helped the adoption rate a great deal
[16:04:23] superm1: yeah, it's brought people who would usually avoid getting involved into using the project (for better or worse)

[17:34:40] sphery: are there 2 digital + 2 analog?
[17:34:41] wagnerrp: well that, and you cant buy an 1800
[17:34:46] sphery: ahyh
[17:34:54] wagnerrp: sphery: its 2x hybrid tuners
[17:34:57] wagnerrp: with mpeg encoders
[17:35:07] wagnerrp: instead of 1x digital + 1x analog
[17:35:12] sphery: I guess if he's comfortable with DVB Hg, he'll be fine
[17:35:18] sphery: I see.
[17:35:40] sphery: I was basing my statement on http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATSC_PCIe_C . . . _PCIe_Cards:
[17:36:52] wagnerrp: so if some site makes weather freely available over xml
[17:37:04] wagnerrp: and tells you you can use it so long as you list their name
[17:37:16] wagnerrp: you think its alright to scrape their website for a location search?
[17:38:45] ** wagnerrp directs sphery to about 5am **
[17:39:04] sphery: I think that's what the BBC ToS says... And we have a scraper for it
[17:39:40] sphery: And we do show the source on screen. So that (in and of itself) isn't a stopper (though other parts might be).
[17:41:03] sphery: Ah, yeah... I see. Though, as you said, he could easily follow the examples of the other scripts.

[17:51:57] borei: can i stream video (different format) from myth to PS3 through network ?
[17:52:08] wagnerrp: depends on the video
[17:52:21] wagnerrp: the PS3 has a rather limited list of codecs it supports
[17:52:24] borei: mkv, dvd iso
[17:52:31] wagnerrp: and mythtv has no ability to transcode over UPNP
[17:52:37] wagnerrp: neither of which will work

[17:56:43] wagnerrp: yes, it certainly is
[17:56:51] wagnerrp: not with your content
[17:57:10] borei: but PMS is a transcode server
[17:57:27] wagnerrp: i have no idea what PMS is
[17:57:37] borei: PS3 media server
[17:58:18] borei: hmm, confused completly
[17:58:30] wagnerrp: then no, you cannot configure mythtv to transcode in the manner that PMS does
[17:58:56] borei: and what type of video can i stream ?
[17:59:15] borei: so PS3 will understand it
[17:59:52] wagnerrp: that information is on the PS3 website
[18:00:03] wagnerrp: either you drop everything back to mpeg2 and ac3
[18:00:27] wagnerrp: or you remux it to mp4, and possibly transcode the audio to aac if it isnt already
[18:00:56] wagnerrp: you will have to make sure whatever h264 content you have follows some strict guidelines

[20:01:17] Hilikus: that what i'm saying. for mythvideo it doesn't make sense, but it is still useful to see trailers of a movie you want to see on a theater
[20:01:59] Hilikus: maybe its better suited for mythMovies
[20:02:03] iamlindoro: MytyhNetvision allows one to search TMDB for trailers
[20:02:08] iamlindoro: er MythNetvision
[20:03:12] Hilikus: hmm never heard of that. im gonna look it up
[20:03:20] iamlindoro: not released yet

[20:18:02] Hilikus: what did your hardware.conf look like after the automatic setup and what did you change it to
[20:18:23] pelmen: it had /mceusb.conf i changed it to my.conf

[20:41:21] Hilikus: check that fike

[20:47:44] Hilikus: what did it for me was removing all the wrong ones. try commenting out all except one, if it doesnt work try the next one etc
[20:48:04] Hilikus: you need to restart lirc every time
[20:48:18] pelmen: i see, so if irw is not recongnising keys, it means- mappings are wrong

[21:17:50] wagnerrp: iamlindoro: but thats only when youre immersed in water

[21:18:07] iamlindoro: "<wagnerrp> i never understood why people associated glowing with radiation"
[21:18:10] iamlindoro: is what you said
[21:18:14] wagnerrp: so it only occurs in heavy water reactors
[21:18:25] iamlindoro: and they associate it because... in common instances of radiation... it does
[21:18:56] wagnerrp: and besides, its a bluish glow, rather than the pale green
[21:19:05] iamlindoro: wagnerrp, so? Again?

[21:31:25] pelmen: Hilikus: ok i got irw working, I had firstly to record all the keys using irrecord, then replaced mceconfig with mine
[21:31:45] pelmen: Hilikus: so how do i know make mythtv to be controllable ?
[21:32:12] justinh: pelmen: you have to make mythtv's ~/.mythtv/lircrc button definitions agree with the names in lircd.conf
[21:32:29] justinh: easy peasy. you've done the hard bit
[21:32:33] pelmen: justinh: aha...
[21:32:38] pelmen: thanks....
[21:33:04] pelmen: justinh: because now my key names are like key_pause, key_record
[21:33:41] justinh: e.g. if a button is called FOOBAR in lircd.conf, call it FOOBAR in the lircrc file (text sensitive)
[21:34:02] pelmen: can i auto regenerate lircrc ?
[21:34:49] justinh: dunno. maybe mythbuntu's lirc wizardry thing can
[21:34:52] wagnerrp: no, but you may be able to find one on the internet
[21:35:11] justinh: plenty on the interwebs. their button names likely won't match yours though :P
[21:35:42] pelmen: justinh: hmm, can i do simpler and rename buttons in lircd.conf ?
[21:36:23] wagnerrp: you can, but you shouldnt
[21:36:28] wagnerrp: thats absolutely the wrong way to do it
[21:36:29] pelmen: i see
[21:36:51] wagnerrp: lircd exists to define the buttons on a remote
[21:36:58] wagnerrp: lircd.conf that is
[21:37:04] pelmen: ok fine, i'll do it the hard way :)
[21:37:07] wagnerrp: lircrc exists to map buttons to a program
[21:37:12] wagnerrp: that is the *easy* way
[21:38:11] pelmen: wagnerrp: could you explain me, in lircrc there are two buttons "button" and "config" which one shoul i rename ?
[21:38:15] pelmen: i think button
[21:40:31] justinh: config is the line which says which key to send mythtv
[21:40:44] justinh: e.g. config = P would send P

[22:00:43] MartinJT: yes that's correct... it's an xvmc thing... you just need to run that command in a terminal window... and then find a way to make it run at startup...

[22:02:04] clever: yes i am
[22:02:27] justinh: it's NOT an xvmc thing. jees
[22:02:37] justinh: Xv maybe
[22:02:37] MartinJT: now, could you tell me where to add it in startup...
[22:02:48] pizzledizzle: sec, ill paste the error from xvattr somewhere
[22:02:58] justinh: try xvattr --help
[22:03:14] clever: MartinJT: setting DISPLAY in .bashrc would work, but it causes alot of problems also
[22:04:00] pizzledizzle: http://pastebin.com/m3710834d
[22:04:12] pizzledizzle: here's he error
[22:05:25] justinh: does your video driver even provide Xv ?
[22:06:49] MartinJT: that's where I got from... it's in the XvMC wiki article...
[22:06:59] clever: i'm getting the exact same error here
[22:07:08] clever: with my xvmc capable system (but i only ever use xv)
[22:07:18] justinh: it's to do with Xv, not xvmc
[22:08:24] [R]: does anyone know of an external hardware solution for wake-on-lan?
[22:10:51] justinh: uncle Bub's external hardware WoL box thingy gubbins, only tenny dollar
[22:11:26] justinh: by external do you mean something which does away with needing to take the box to bits?

[22:12:34] MartinJT: you seem very bitter....
[22:12:37] Hilikus: its something to do with jamu
[22:12:42] justinh: MartinJT: far from it
[22:12:49] Hilikus: any idea what could be wrong?
[22:13:08] justinh: MartinJT: just every question in here is pretty much always something people could sort by reading :)
[22:13:34] justinh: anyway it's the internets. sorry for not being all huggy. this isn't #canonical
[22:14:26] pizzledizzle: looks like it's a problem that only i have. cant find anything on google about it
[22:14:30] justinh: spend long enough in this channel, you do get bitter, or silent :D
[22:14:58] RDV_Linux: Hilikus: From a terminal session run the command ./jamu v and then ./jamu -MVf and pastebin the full output from both runs.

[22:19:46] MartinJT: anyone know where I specify the grabber for mythweather?
[22:20:00] pizzledizzle: the video card i have is nvidia 440mx... couldnt it be why xvattr can't change colorkey on it?
[22:20:26] MartinJT: mine is a 7300gt and it doesn't seem to work on that either...
[22:20:44] MartinJT: I think the command has probably changed in karmic...
[22:21:04] pizzledizzle: how do you change the color of the overlay then?
[22:22:23] MartinJT: not the right person I'm afraid... I'd suggest looking at the xvattr command and how it works...

[22:39:44] justinh: and if that isn't any help maybe start looking at why not – like say your video driver doesn't support Xv out of the box
[22:40:04] justinh: cos Xv attributes won't be any use if there's no Xv ;)
[22:40:46] justinh: like if you have a nvidia card but aren't using the closed source driver.. AFAIK there's no Xv in the open source nv driver

[22:45:04] elmojo: iamlindoro: any chance that 7741 will make it into 0.22-fixes?
[22:45:22] iamlindoro: elmojo, probably not
[22:45:30] justinh: pizzledizzle: should be fine with the right driver
[22:45:42] iamlindoro: elmojo, not with freeze for .23 coming in 30ish days
[22:45:49] justinh: pizzledizzle: I think you need the nvidia legacy driver
[22:46:00] elmojo: iamlindoro: freeze it that soon!
[22:46:07] iamlindoro: elmojo, Yep, 2/1/10
[22:46:09] justinh: jees
[22:46:33] iamlindoro: and then 6/1/10, 10/1/10, etc.
[22:46:36] justinh: I'll give up all hope of rejigging the menus in time for 0.23 then
[22:46:53] elmojo: iamlindoro: so if my patches don't get committed in the next 30 days they will be pushed out?
[22:47:01] iamlindoro: oh sure, now complain that the project is releasing *too* fast ;)
[22:47:16] iamlindoro: elmojo, I don't think so, all yours are bugfixes and not new features IMHO
[22:47:17] justinh: hey I never moaned the releases were too far apart
[22:47:25] iamlindoro: so they can go in right up to the line IMO
[22:47:27] justinh: ;)
[22:47:45] elmojo: iamlindoro: ok, sounds good
[22:48:42] justinh: ach well. least if I get something done while I'm off work & manage to get it committed it'll make it into trunk & then I'll just use trunk from then on
[22:49:18] elmojo: iamlindoro: since nothing that disruptive has been committed to trunk I'll probably just up all my boxes to it
[22:49:29] justinh: these things will be worth waiting for, after all :)
[22:50:00] Hilikus (Hilikus!n=hilikus@unaffiliated/hilikus) has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))
[22:50:13] iamlindoro: think .23 is very much an incremental release, .24 should get more new features
[22:51:04] justinh: IIRC the odd numbered releases have always been better for some reason
[22:51:18] justinh: duh even, even
[22:51:44] elmojo: iamlindoro: I think a lot of users are wondering why the delay on backport to -fixes and the devs don't see the point with 0.23 so close
[22:52:03] iamlindoro: elmojo, Wondering why on the bookmark dialog?
[22:52:09] justinh: elmojo: let them eat cake :)
[22:52:15] justinh: everybody!
[22:52:18] elmojo: hehe
[22:52:24] iamlindoro: pretty much all the bugfixes for .23 have been backported
[22:52:25] gbee: how would average Cat 5/6 fair outdoors? Think the only way I can realistically route cable in this place is to run it along an exterior wall
[22:52:26] superm1: iamlindoro, who should i be bugging about my patches? they've not even gotten commented on yet..
[22:52:34] gbee: conduit is an option
[22:52:50] iamlindoro: superm1, If they're less than a year old, it's still too soon ;)
[22:53:15] superm1: iamlindoro, haha. well i would much rather see them land in 0.23 than sit there turn stale and irrelevant...
[22:53:32] iamlindoro: If you're talking about the shutdown stuff, I don't know-- that kind of thing will likely need someone to take an interest in them
[22:53:35] justinh: gbee: not well. it won't like the cold
[22:53:42] elmojo: iamlindoro: for users who use a keyboard, aka me, the bookmark dialog causes the focus to be lost
[22:53:50] superm1: iamlindoro, yeah its all the shutdown stuff
[22:54:07] justinh: gbee: that said, it never gets *that* cold in the uk. it'll just get a bit stiff is all
[22:54:12] iamlindoro: elmojo, I know, but it hasn't even been tested or applied to trunk yet
[22:54:20] iamlindoro: elmojo, so a backport at the moment would be out of the question
[22:54:33] elmojo: iamlindoro: sure... just want it to be in 0.23
[22:54:40] iamlindoro: superm1, Suspect you'll need to find someone who uses/is interested in said stuff, then
[22:54:41] elmojo: and I've tested it and it works great
[22:54:47] justinh: gbee: fwiw, plastic conduit should be ok :)
[22:54:55] iamlindoro: elmojo, It will likely be in .23
[22:55:00] iamlindoro: I will take a look at it before then
[22:55:04] elmojo: thanks
[22:55:18] justinh: the rounded stuff, not the crappy clip together rectangular section junk
[22:55:29] gbee: yeah
[22:55:48] superm1: iamlindoro, /shrug. i am suspecting i wrote them for no reason then if no one is interested in better integrating with standard systems
[22:55:50] gbee: ok, might be the first project of the new year then
[22:56:04] _abbenormal: hey all have a safe and fun holiday
[22:56:05] justinh: I've pondered doing exactly the same since I realised the leccy cable to my shower goes up the conduit leading upstairs
[22:56:18] elmojo: seems like the ffmpeg sync will be much better this time since a lot of the activity appears to be bugfixes
[22:56:24] justinh: _abbenormal: the fun starts tomorrow when we escape the inlaws' ! :D
[22:56:27] _abbenormal: hey iamlindoro you and your family have a good christmas
[22:56:40] justinh: _abbenormal: anyway, you too
[22:56:44] iamlindoro: superm1, *lots* of patches sit around before someone looks at them, particularly so for feature patches, it's not as though it's personal
[22:56:47] iamlindoro: _abbenormal, likewise! :)
[22:57:19] iamlindoro: superm1, Since IIRC those were submitted this month, if they had been looked at yet it would be extraodrinarily above average
[22:57:58] superm1: guess i'm used to how things work in gnome world and other projects then that you get at least some feedback before they even get a chance to turn stale
[22:58:03] iamlindoro: That's not to asy it's the way it should be, just that 30 days is expecting a bit much given recent history
[22:58:09] _abbenormal: thank you guys
[22:58:51] elmojo: I'm just going to start categorizing all my patches as fixes for DVD playback problems
[22:58:53] iamlindoro: It also doesn't hurt that a lot of the workhorses on the project burnt themselves out last cycle and received nothing but grief from users and patch submitters alike for their efforts
[22:59:06] justinh: just when we thought the little animated bugger had croaked...
[22:59:23] elmojo: lots of bravado applied to those types of problems
[22:59:28] iamlindoro: ie, rewrite huge chunks of the code from scratch, and get berated nonstop about how the old code was better because the right arrow brought up the menu
[23:00:01] iamlindoro: elmojo, heh
[23:00:11] justinh: cojonoes!
[23:00:16] elmojo: iamlindoro: just having fun :)
[23:00:21] iamlindoro: elmojo, I know
[23:00:21] justinh: you gotta break a few eggs ...
[23:00:31] superm1: i can empathize with those types of problems with burning out working something to death
[23:00:33] justinh: s/eggs/legs
[23:01:00] iamlindoro: just like themes
[23:01:10] _abbenormal: lol legs
[23:01:17] iamlindoro: lose users caterwauling about how flashy media centers are better...
[23:01:29] iamlindoro: but when you try to improve it, everyone just wants to use GANT
[23:01:47] elmojo: iamlindoro: more importantly... do you think ArcLight will have a chance to be ready by .23 release?
[23:01:48] justinh: IMHO some things can be handled a little better in terms of informing people about functional changes but people only have so many pairs of hands
[23:01:57] iamlindoro: elmojo, Arclight will be out for sure
[23:02:35] iamlindoro: elmojo, It's ready-ish right now, really only waiting on one patch to be committed and to see if any other UI fanciness appears in time
[23:02:46] sphery: question is whether any other themes will be done by then--like themes for the contest
[23:02:55] justinh: I can wait to see the caterwalling about the stuff I've got on my list ;)
[23:03:30] elmojo: cool... I can handle my patches not getting committed but will unlikely be able to hack into your system so steal ArcLight
[23:03:50] iamlindoro: heh
[23:04:06] iamlindoro: There are a few things to finish up with it, but nothing I can't get done in a weekend

[23:12:18] [R]: wtf mate... why were people saying you can't allocate 512mb for the GPU on an ion system w/o 2gb of ram... its working fine for me
[23:12:39] antgel: [R]: people say all kinds of shizzle
[23:12:42] [R]: lol
[23:12:47] clever: pizzledizzle: step 1, get some duct tape, step2, cut a peice, step3, place it over the blue line
[23:13:11] justinh: on the internets anything & everything can be 'true'
[23:13:14] [R]: i can't get wake on lan to work on my backend... so i was gonna swap it out with anotehr motherboard... but i have no ram for that motherboard... but if i can' pull 1gb from my ion... then its all good
[23:13:33] antgel: surely it's easier to leave it switched on *cough*
[23:13:39] clever: [R]: what if you add an old cheap 100mbit card
[23:13:44] clever: and use its WOL
[23:13:45] [R]: clever: i've tried 2
[23:13:54] [R]: the motherboard i ahve is complete crap
[23:14:00] pizzledizzle: if i overscan in nvidia-settings, it cuts off 5% of bottom portion of the screen before it even removes the blue line on top
[23:14:16] clever: [R]: does the link LED come on when the motherboard is off?
[23:14:31] [R]: so when using the onboard lan... the leds aren't on... but the led on the switch is on
[23:14:33] justinh: pizzledizzle: another way is to go into the tv settings playback settings page & set it to overscan a tad
[23:14:38] [R]: with both of the 2 pci cards i tried... netiher leds were on
[23:14:59] clever: [R]: ok, then the standby power on the PCI isnt there, or its disabled, so the pci cards wont work at all
[23:15:12] pizzledizzle: hm gonna try that
[23:15:33] justinh: cant remember exactly where the settings is, sorry
[23:15:42] clever: [R]: this reminds me of the day the tech dude at school was changing pci boards, with the power still connected, and standby power still live:P
