[00:00:10] Kazriko: no, but the commercial flagging seems to be somewhat lacking and tends to skip parts of the show occasionally.
[00:00:18] Kazriko: I manually skip them with the 30s forward button.
[00:00:31] Freman: mine is 45s fast forward button (c:
[00:00:31] iresprite: ooh. the commercial skip debate.
[00:00:32] dev: Kazriko: do you have it set to "all" methods and strict detection enabled?
[00:00:40] Juski: hmmm
[00:00:43] Kazriko: No, still using the defaults on that.
[00:00:46] dev: i believe thats still not default.
[00:01:01] dev: even so. commercial flagging is only about 90% accurate, here in the usa
[00:01:25] dev: ive heard people from other countries have verying levels of accuracy
[00:01:26] Kazriko: actually, it is all/strict.
[00:01:55] Kazriko: The other part is my tv is really staticy with all the splits and cheap cables. I'm trying to rearrange my devices to make that better though.
[00:02:13] dev: that could mess up commflagging, yeah.
[00:02:20] Freman: wonder if I can take the pile of 1 gig p3's that work has and put openmosix on them and make em a backend
[00:02:20] Kazriko: the pvr150's are on the end of a 4-way split from the cable company, then a 2-way split between them and my cable modem, then a 4 way split to the 3 tv cards.
[00:02:30] dev: hah wow
[00:02:36] dev: thats *alot* of signal loss.
[00:02:49] Kazriko: I'm trying to move the cable modem over with the cable company's digital box on the 2-way split.
[00:03:03] iresprite: hey, anyone know why I'd be seeing this in my log while running xine?
[00:03:11] iresprite: gnome-screensaver-Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Unable to determine the address of the message bus

[00:34:06] Samoied: Agrajag-: is possible to use PIP, with this device?
[00:34:30] Agrajag-: Samoied: well you need 2 tuners if you want to watch 2 different thiings

[05:35:21] metalac: hey guys how can i figure out what's wrong when I get snow?
[05:35:25] metalac: i have a pvr-150
[05:35:29] metalac: and all i get is snow
[05:35:45] Kelerion: probably wrong input
[05:36:09] metalac: well i picked Tuner
[05:36:16] metalac: that's the only one that make sense
[05:36:31] metalac: there is a composite 1 and 2 also, but it's not those
[05:37:13] scottj: are there any prebuilt mythtv solutions? ~ how much does it cost to build a basic system? There's no way to add a capture card to a mac mini is there?
[05:37:14] Kelerion: as far as I know snow means one of two things.. wrong input.. or it selected the tuner type
[05:37:35] Kelerion: open mplayer with the input.. and try typing "ivtvctl -p0"
[05:37:46] Kelerion: then change the 0 for 1,2,3 etc.. see if you get anything
[05:37:59] metalac: scottj: might be able to get a USB tuner, not sure how well it works with linux
[05:38:48] metalac: Kelerion: how do i open mplayer with input?
[05:38:58] Kelerion: mplayer /dev/videoX
[05:39:30] Kelerion: then in a console do the ivtvctl thing
[05:39:46] metalac: hmm it froze
[05:40:33] scottj: is the basic advantage of mythtv over tivo that it can skip commercials automatically?
[05:40:58] Kelerion: never used a tivo
[05:41:09] Kelerion: but mythtv probably has a *ton* of advantages
[05:41:48] metalac: Kelerion: ok i looked at mythbackend log and it says: "Starting up as the master server. is defined but isn't attached to a cardinput."
[05:42:12] Kelerion: well you didn't attach is then I'd imagine :)
[05:42:25] metalac: what does that mean?
[05:42:59] metalac: dammmnnn
[05:43:10] metalac: dmesg is full of "tuner 1–0061: tuner type not set"
[05:43:35] Kelerion: you have defined your video sources.. and capture cards.. right?

[05:46:42] Kelerion: and that error in dmesg probably means you don't have a "type=" option on your modprobe entry for that card
[05:48:05] Freman (Freman!n=twitsrus@jaguar.wbs.net.au) has left #mythtv-users ("Leaving")
[05:48:31] metalac: any clue how to find out what type is?
[05:48:36] metalac: i did ivtv-detect
[05:49:34] Kelerion: if it's a new tuner in the 150.. you could try "options ivtv tuner=50"
[05:49:55] metalac: well i have 57 now
[05:50:11] Kelerion: but if that doesn't work check out the ivtv site.. they have a list
[05:50:57] Kelerion: I know 50 has been found to work a lot in 150's.. but I don't have a 150 so not the best help..
[05:51:45] metalac: ok will try
[05:51:54] Kelerion: whats dmesg saying your tuner model is?
[05:52:55] metalac: not sure what exactly you need it says it's WinTV PVR 150 Card
[05:53:19] Kelerion: post the ivtv part of your log into a pastebin
[05:53:33] metalac: might be a bit hard it's on another machine
[05:53:56] Kelerion: your ssh'd in aren't you?
[05:54:09] metalac: nope
[05:54:10] metalac: i could
[05:54:29] Kelerion: the line will say something like "tveeprom 0–0050: tuner model is TCL M2523_5N_E (idx 112, type 4)"
[05:55:00] metalac: got it
[05:55:14] metalac: tuner model is TCL MFNM05–4 (idx 103, type 43)
[05:55:18] metalac: should i put 43 then?
[05:55:51] Kelerion: do 50
[05:56:02] metalac: ok
[05:56:39] Kelerion: if that doesn't work then yeah.. try the 43
[05:56:39] metalac: oh did you try to do widescreen with yours at all?
[05:56:57] Kelerion: I have widescreen on my 250
[05:57:11] metalac: ok cool, i just wanted to make sure it works ok
[05:57:49] b8zs: Kelerion, what kernel are you using?
[05:58:27] Kelerion: 2.6.12-10–686 on myth box
[05:58:27] metalac: ok so 50 doesn't work
[05:58:38] Kelerion: still the same errors?
[05:58:54] metalac: well still got the fuzzy stuff
[05:59:00] metalac: i'll check errors in a sec
[05:59:06] Kelerion: you getting the errors?
[05:59:07] Kelerion: k
[06:00:19] b8zs: Kelerion, im using 2.6.16 and am having trouble with the ivtv install; Did you compile it from scratch?

[06:01:35] b8zs: Oh, did you use the binary package?
[06:01:48] Kelerion: nope.. compiled

[06:03:06] ** Kelerion thinks he needs more coffee **
[06:03:11] metalac: ok so both 43 and 50 give me the same error

[10:51:02] JoyFM: hi
[10:51:12] JoyFM: how many CPU power do i need to record Pal TV in good quality and which software is available for linux?
[10:54:41] fatmatt: JoyFM, theres some stuff on the mythtv website about cpu usage etc.
[10:54:53] fatmatt: in the FAQ as I recall
[10:54:54] JoyFM: thx
[10:55:27] Juski: recording 3 pal Tv streams – 2 from DVB-T and one from a pvr150 takes < 5% cpu on my system :-P
[10:55:44] Juski: and for linus there is mythtv, or mythtv. or even mythtv
[10:56:19] gardengnome: re
[10:57:58] Juski: wb gardengnome. you got your cables yet?
[10:58:05] hashbang: Juski: or VDR
[10:58:15] gardengnome: Juski: nope, today is a bank holiday. i'm afraid the guy hasn't even shipped them yet.
[10:58:47] hashbang: JoyFM: I heartily recommend DVB cards if you have DVB available.
[10:58:57] psofa: stuarta, how can i easily check mysql to see if its utf8 ok?
[10:59:25] stuarta: psofa: no need, the mythdb is configured by default with utf8
[10:59:30] hashbang: JoyFM: my myth combined Frontend/Backend/Firewall/DNS/Privoxy machine is only a Celeron 1.7, but has no problems with recording two DVB-T streams simultaneously, whilst playing back a third.
[11:02:55] Juski: vdr does not exist IMHO
[11:03:16] gardengnome: vdr? ENOSUCHTHING
[11:03:49] Juski: freevo is something of a misnomer

[11:04:45] gardengnome: psofa: fixed your grabber problems? maybe you have to use 'recode' on your .xml file.
[11:05:23] psofa: gardengnome, nope my xml file is utf8 and apparently myth's doing sth wrong
[11:05:26] psofa: recode?
[11:06:12] gardengnome: recode – Character set conversion utility
[11:06:18] stuarta: psofa: okay try return t.data().utf8()
[11:06:20] gardengnome: apt-get install recode on debian/ubuntu.
[11:07:02] ** stuarta needs to go away and think about this some more... **
[11:07:21] ** gardengnome sends stuarta to the pub. best place for deep contemplation **
[11:07:41] psofa: stuarta, im under the impression that you are doing function name guesswork :P
[11:07:46] stuarta: psofa: or return QString::fromUtf8(t.data())
[11:08:41] stuarta: psofa: I used fromUtf8() before, but have only just looked up the manpage again for the specifics :)
[11:09:06] ** stuarta likes gardengnomes suggestion... **
[11:09:08] psofa: it compiled
[11:09:18] psofa: gardengnome, its greek
[11:09:35] psofa: the only other option i have to display greek is iso-8859–7
[11:10:50] psofa: i suppose if utf8 isnt working its doubtful that iso-8859–7 will
[11:11:15] psofa: the only real alternative is to find a script converting greek to greeklish(that is greek with latin1 chars)
[11:11:56] stuarta: i'd be surprised if mythfilldatabase didn't handle utf8 encodings properly....
[11:14:16] psofa: stuarta, i think it messed up even more
[11:14:23] stuarta: :)
[11:14:29] psofa: removing existing program: star.gr ????????????? ????????? 2006-06–07T23:45:00 – 2006-06–08T02:00:00
[11:14:29] psofa: inserting new program  : star.gr ÎΠÎÎÎÎà ;ŽÃŽÃŽÃŽÂ¤ÃŽÃŽÃŽ&A circ;£ ÎÎÎÎΦÎ&Atil de;ŽÃŽÃŽÂ£ Wed Jun 7 23:45:00 2006 – Thu Jun 8 02:00:00 2006
[11:14:45] psofa: now not even the db can read the strings
[11:14:54] psofa: before the inserting new program looked ok
[11:14:57] stuarta: go back to how it was then....
[11:15:34] psofa: stuarta, do you want me to send you a sample xmlfile?
[11:16:17] stuarta: but another thing to try is there are .utf8() on the bind's for the insert
[11:16:54] psofa: <psofa> the actuall code entering the title is query.bindValue(":TITLE", (*i).title.utf8());
[11:16:55] stuarta: psofa: that might be an idea.
[11:17:19] stuarta: yeah, try removing the utf8() from each.
[11:17:39] stuarta: this attacks the problem from a different angle.
[11:17:47] psofa: lol
[11:18:12] gardengnome: i've also had weird umlaut problems with tv_grab_de_tvtoday, but i couldn't really be bothered to fix it – i hate messing with charsets. now with tv_grab_de_prisma everything is ok again
[11:18:41] Juski: that's not text – it's special graphic characters from a sinclair zx81 !
[11:20:30] stuarta: it may well be the grabber doing something funny tooo.

[11:23:20] JoyFM: hashbang> JoyFM: I heartily recomhashbang> JoyFM: I heartily recommend DVB cards if you have DVB available.mend DVB cards if you have DVB available. <- but i have only a normal tuner card
[11:24:39] Juski: normal tuner card? you mean software encoding?
[11:26:03] Juski: mythtv works better with hardware encoding / dvb cards / atsc cards (or firewire capture)
[11:29:43] psofa: stuarta, removed the .utf8 from titles
[11:30:01] psofa: now when i merge the xml file tit will display ok in the logs
[11:30:18] gardengnome: sounds good :)
[11:30:41] JoyFM: i've a WinTV (Hauppauge) from 1998 and a Typhoon TView Card from 1998 too
[11:30:45] psofa: and uppon reinserting it will not replace the tables thinking ???? ??? is different from the correct title
[11:30:56] psofa: but still the program guide will display ????
[11:30:58] psofa: :(
[11:31:36] psofa: stuarta, so i suppose that the frontend also does .utf8 in the strings it gets
[11:32:12] psofa: but it cant be all that wrong
[11:35:03] stuarta: if it didn't add the data then you won't know if it's correct...?
[11:35:25] psofa: stuarta, the first time it replaced the previous crap with the correct

[13:15:49] Dagmar: If it comes back on when you do something, I wouldn't do anything more than turn the timer up higher
[13:16:00] Dagmar: TVs and monitors CAN suffer from image burn-in.
[13:16:09] Dagmar: They're just not as quick to do it as the older monochrome monitors
[13:16:37] psofa: Dagmar, stil when i had dpms on a lirc event wouldnt wake it up.Is that still true?
[13:16:45] Dagmar: I've no idea

[13:20:08] Juski: do the world a huge favour & don't leave your TV switched on all the time :-)
[13:20:18] Freman: it'll be looking for keyboard activity or mouse activity specificly
[13:20:34] Dagmar: THat would be 2 and 12 then
[13:20:45] Freman: my setup is good, if I leave it alone to long the screen goes blue, if I leave it alone longer it turns the tv off
[13:20:59] Dagmar: ...I think AT is 2. Can't remember for sure anymore. It's been so long
[13:21:12] hashbang: Freman: that'll still be on standby, though, and probably drawing 5–10W.
[13:21:22] hashbang: Freman: which I think was Juski's point.
[13:21:27] Dagmar: I've scribbled a hook into XScreenSaver for callign external programs, which is why I'd like to have it going on there
[13:21:42] Juski: well 5–10W is still better than 100W or whatever
[13:21:47] Dagmar: ...because I want it turning off the backlight on my keyboard, and maybe pestering the X10 controller to just kill the power to the TV

[13:25:30] Juski: but I'm concerned it'll end up costing more in the long run
[13:25:37] Dagmar: I have a LOT of things which serve as lighting, but are basically toys
[13:25:52] Dagmar: About the only thing I don't have is a mathmos projector

[13:26:10] Dagmar: I've got large glass crystals with lights under them, lava lamps, blacklights, etc
[13:26:13] Freman: I have x10 gear... it only uses a tiny amount
[13:26:25] Freman: but is it realy worth it... probably not (c:
[13:26:27] Dagmar: Some of them I converted to using indiglo panels just because I didn't like that they get hot
[13:26:36] Freman: it's good for lights, I dowbt I'd subject my tv to constant hard off's
[13:26:39] Freman: or my monitors
[13:26:47] Freman: they're the only things I've got to leave in standby
[13:26:54] Darthy: psofa > what else can i check? when the screen is black and my monitor is in powersave mode and i press a key, the mon comes back but the screens still keeps black
[13:28:00] Freman: I'd be turning dpms right off
[13:28:01] Dagmar: Freman: I have umm... zero incandescent bulbs in use.

[13:28:31] Freman: I also, but the in socket light switches (not the dimmer ones) work great on the compact fluros
[13:28:32] Dagmar: I have a total of *one* torchiere ("bachelor lamp") which has a 40W fluorescent bulb in it.
[13:28:36] Darthy: how can i turn off dpms?
[13:28:38] Dagmar: It's the only white light in the place.
[13:28:55] Freman: nodpms
[13:28:58] Freman: I thik
[13:29:10] psofa: xset -dpms i think
[13:29:10] Darthy: i have flag "nopm" in my xconf already
[13:29:21] Darthy: do i need more?
[13:29:42] Darthy: in the bios its already disabled
[13:30:05] Freman: it's not a bios feature
[13:30:11] psofa: just type xset -dpms
[13:30:17] psofa: Freman, it can be
[13:30:22] Freman: either xset -dpms or look for dpms flags in your xorg.conf
[13:30:40] Dagmar: The thing on Slashdot awhile back where those college kids were so proud of having a "party mode" button to turn on all their toys... That was just kinda sad
[13:30:46] Freman: never in my entire life have I seen it as a bios feature... but then it goes without saying that I've never realy looked for it (c:
[13:30:51] Dagmar: If those guys knew about X10, they'd have been done in way less time.
[13:31:07] psofa: Freman, my box has it :)
[13:31:11] psofa: but only my old one
[13:31:12] Dagmar: Chicks in SF are definitely a different breed.
[13:31:18] Freman: I find my x10 remote seems to crash frequently
[13:31:32] Dagmar: I was astonished the first girl I had over was actually impressed when I went into my room, logged in at the terminal, and my room lit up like a circus on acid
[13:31:52] Juski: rotfl
[13:32:13] Freman: and I occasionaly have to unplug and plug back the receiver unit )c:
[13:32:27] Freman: x10 is overpriced here tho )c:
[13:32:41] Dagmar: Yeah, the RS-232 computer/wall-socket interface seemed a bit less than stable to me, too.
[13:32:59] Dagmar: Mainly seemed to be a matter of heat if you left the serial socket active all the time
[13:33:31] Dagmar: Once I modded things so it would not be trying to listen to X10 signals to report them to the computer, I never had it crash again
[13:33:41] Dagmar: I need to get the newer USB-controlled one
[13:33:52] Darthy: as i said.. i habe to dpms enabled in my xconf... so it itsn active i guess.. and i have already option "NoPm" in my xconf. that has something to do with disabling the powermanagement doesn it?
[13:34:07] Freman: I can get a pair of usb power boards and use a slug for the same price as 2 x10 light socket fittings

[13:34:42] psofa: i already have some channels that have the right smltvid
[13:34:52] Darthy: what could it be else.. i have a via epiam10k and miniMyth 0.19
[13:34:59] Dagmar: Freman: Yeah, but I've got umm... 9–11 of those wall socket things and a couple of the light bulb fitting ones

[13:37:06] Dagmar: My TV is a sad POS I got on special from WalMart for $100.
[13:37:18] Dagmar: If it dies, I'll go buy something that can actually properly handle it's S-Video input
[13:37:30] Freman: be cool to have it dim the lights when you start a movie (I have 2 halogen desk lamps that create a pretty cool effect on the wall when placed behind the lounge
[13:37:31] Dagmar: Mainly I still watch TV on my monitor, since it has a far clearer picture
[13:38:02] Dagmar: ...or bring the lights up when you pause the movie. Stuff like that is what I'm aiming for
[13:38:34] Freman: But it's SOOOOOOO much cheaper to use one-wire gear (c:
[13:39:00] Freman: and you can get positive feedback
[13:39:19] Dagmar: Keep yer eyes peeled for clearances. I think on average I've paid like $9 each for the wall controllers
[13:39:33] Dagmar: ...or Ebay. People are all the time selling the things on Ebay
[13:39:40] Freman: $50 a peice here...
[13:39:47] Dagmar: wow
[13:39:47] Juski: what puts me off x10 is those horrible plugin things
[13:39:48] Freman: must fit aussie sockets )c:
[13:39:59] Dagmar: That's madness. They're only like $14 full retail here
[13:40:16] Freman: You can get components to hard wire into the back of the socket Juski

[13:42:13] Freman: rf
[13:42:19] Freman: uhf to be exact
[13:42:31] Freman: then they encode a signal over the power lines
[13:43:01] Dagmar: ...which thankfully passes through even the most picky UPS/line_cleaners
[13:43:38] Freman: RF Wireless wall switch
[13:43:39] Freman:
[13:43:39] Freman: $67.50
[13:43:42] fatmatt: ahh gotcha, I looked into that sort of stuff a while ago, I'm iffy about wiring something into the house that could get old/be superceded.

[13:43:51] fatmatt: and they seemed exy

[13:44:07] Dagmar: fatmatt: Well, even obsolesced, they still work as normal sockets/switches

[13:44:49] Dagmar: You're looking at somethign the wrong way somehow
[13:44:56] Dagmar: The basic kit is $99 USD
[13:44:58] bluey-: anyone got the Remote of the Nova-t working?
[13:45:12] Dagmar: That's got the USB controller box, and some starter modules and such

[13:48:41] fatmatt: Freman, I'm in Australia,
[13:49:07] Freman: then no, you can't order from us (c: not this stuff anyway

[16:17:03] Dibblah_: Depends.
[16:17:24] Dagmar: If you have a newish nVidia card, it'll deinterlace for you
[16:17:25] grndslm: on...
[16:17:29] Dibblah_: None if you're outputting to an interlaced device.
[16:17:39] Dibblah_: Dagmar: Eh? Nope.
[16:17:58] grndslm: this is strictly the frontend?? cuz i've got an nvidia there
[16:18:14] Dibblah_: Bob if you can get a double framerate mode with good vsync
[16:18:21] Dibblah_: Kernel if you can't.
[16:19:02] grndslm: what about mpeg2 decoder? libmpeg2 for amd xp2000+?
[16:19:05] Dibblah_: Dagmar: If you're using XVMC, that's sorta true – But it only does bob.
[16:19:12] Dibblah_: Yeah, that should be fine.
[16:19:47] Dibblah_: You know that feeling when your production tree 'loses' a patch you _knew_ was in there? I'm having that feeling now.
[16:19:48] Dagmar: There's a flicker filter thing in the driver that seems to do a bit more than that
[16:20:00] grndslm: Dibblah_, I'm confused, with a 6600Gt, I do or don't need to enable deinterlacing
[16:20:12] Dibblah_: That's a flicker filter on the TV out port.
[16:20:36] Dagmar: At 1024x768 I've not seen it mess up no matter what I throw at it

[16:21:26] Dibblah_: Monitor.
[16:21:27] Dagmar: TV. A cheap one at that, and a 19" monitor
[16:21:28] xris: Dibblah_: the "anti-flicker" stuff in the nvidia driver replaces deinterlacing.
[16:21:39] Dibblah_: Eh? That's new...
[16:21:54] Dagmar: Yep.
[16:21:54] grndslm: sweet dell 24 incher
[16:21:56] Juski: on tv out, I don't need to deinterlace
[16:21:56] xris: but only works on tv-out
[16:22:00] xris: grndslm: you'll need it if you're not using tv-out
[16:22:03] Dibblah_: Ah. So it's bugger all use to me, then :(
[16:22:12] Juski: otherwise, bob bob bob if you use xvmc, else experiment to see what works best for you

[16:22:21] Juski: there's sometimes no 'right' answer ;-)
[16:22:22] grndslm: xris, gracias....should i use kernel or bob?
[16:22:45] grndslm: bob if it'll work and kernel otherwise??
[16:22:59] Dibblah_ is now known as Dibblah
[16:23:02] Dagmar: Flicker filter gets rid of the artifacting in the menus as well, when you're outputting to TV.
[16:23:10] xris: grndslm: you'll have to test them to see which you prefer. I've hated bob every time I use it. other people swear by it.
[16:23:23] grndslm: cool...i'll give it a test
[16:23:24] Dagmar: It manages to sharpen up even rather tiny fonts
[16:23:36] Dibblah: Bob depends on having good vsync...
[16:23:45] xris: Dagmar: yup, it's nice. that's why I bought a pci video card for my pundit
[16:24:09] Dibblah: You absolutely need to do nvidia-settings --assign="SyncToVBlank=1"
[16:24:09] Dibblah: nvidia-settings --assign="XVideoBlitterSyncToVBlank=1"
[16:24:15] grndslm: also, my last question for now....i configured my backend with ubuntu dapper, but i would prefer that it start in runlevel 3 instead of 5.....where do i configure the run level?
[16:24:34] xris: /etc/inittab
[16:24:35] Juski: rc.d.x iirc
[16:24:39] Dagmar: in /etc/inittab
[16:24:54] Dagmar: Look for the string "initdefault" and then go change the obvious number in that line
[16:25:02] Dagmar: ...unless they've 'debianed' it up or something
[16:25:02] grndslm: ahh....inittab, i remember now
[16:25:05] Juski: oh dapper... did they change it?
[16:25:14] xris: Juski: it's always inittab
[16:25:27] Dagmar: Unless they're using a shell script for init.  ;)
[16:25:30] Dibblah: Ah... Init. How quaint.
[16:25:44] Juski: when I was doing update.rc.d last night it was putting stuff into rc.d.x for the different runlevels
[16:25:58] Dagmar: That's sysvinit stuff
[16:26:05] xris: Juski: yes. but he wanted to change the runlevel itself
[16:26:12] Dagmar: it's the all-around cleaner way to do things
[16:26:36] Juski: riiight (I think I understand that)
[16:26:41] Dagmar: ...but it's init that starts up the scripts and runs through those directories.
[16:26:50] Dagmar: You have to tell init what runlevel to go to after 1 and 2
[16:26:58] Dagmar: rather 1 or 2.
[16:27:38] Dagmar: I am not alogether pleased with the way sysvinit works in Slackware
[16:27:53] grndslm: umm....it says the default runlevel is 2??
[16:27:55] grndslm: that can't be right
[16:28:01] Dagmar: Wow. Maintenance mode.
[16:28:02] Dagmar: Heh
[16:28:03] grndslm: i thought it was like 5 on ubuntu
[16:28:07] Dagmar: It could be correct, tho
[16:28:26] Dagmar: Which ones do what is strictly a matter of local convention, although MOST follow the same basic rules
[16:28:34] grndslm: well, i thought servers booted to 3 and desktops to 5
[16:28:36] Dagmar: I've never found anything like a standards document for that
[16:28:50] Dagmar: Well, 3 is typically the console multi-user runlevel.
[16:28:59] Juski: linux would be nicer if linux == linux. I said that yesterday, but to me there's no obvious reason why so many distros vary so much
[16:29:04] grndslm: i definitely thought debian standardized init runlevels and such
[16:29:08] Dagmar: Either 4 or 5 are generally used to bring up the graphical console.
[16:29:31] grndslm: so how does inittab bring up gdm if its default runlevel is 2?
[16:29:39] Dagmar: grndslm: debian may have, but one of the things that's getting the debian people a little ill with the Ubuntu folks is that the ubuntu guys keep coming up with slightly different ways to do things.
[16:29:42] iresprite: hey, all. mind if I throw a permissions question out there?
[16:29:59] Dagmar: grndslm: It would just mean that they've put a script in there to start gdm at runlevel 2 is all
[16:30:10] Juski: the one thing I guess you have to be careful of is making sure that myth's dependencies are running (e.g. mysql & suchlike)
[16:30:14] Dagmar: Aside from init itself, it's *all* shell scripts.
[16:30:17] grndslm: awkward
[16:30:26] Juski: iresprite: just ask!
[16:30:31] Dagmar: Juski: I am working on solving that one actually.  :)
[16:31:10] iresprite: So I've got mythburn going as far as *attempting* to burn the dvd. Then I get the following:
[16:31:18] iresprite: Burning DVD-R image
[16:31:26] iresprite: :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd",O_RDONLY): Permission denied
[16:31:34] Dagmar: I've got an init script for mysql that will auto-vivify the database, and I'm working on the last bits of one for the backend that will require the database have the proper configuration data in it
[16:31:44] iresprite: Now, from what I can tell I've got my permissions right.
[16:31:51] iresprite: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2006-06–04 16:40 /dev/dvd -> hdc
[16:31:52] iresprite: brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2006-06–04 16:40 /dev/hdc
[16:32:03] iresprite: and www-data is part of the cd-rom group.
[16:32:12] Dagmar: ...trying to get the thing so that from the first install, the system will go straight to mythtv-setup, and from there it will start the backend as a daemon and the frontend as the rc into X.
[16:32:31] Merlin83b: Dagmar: Trying to copy KnoppMyth, then?  ;-)
[16:32:32] mirak (mirak!n=mirak@AAubervilliers-152-1-82-78.w86-203.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #mythtv-users
[16:32:42] iresprite: any thoughts?
[16:32:47] Dagmar: Merlin83b: Nope. Just making packages that require as little manual configuration as possible.
[16:33:01] Dagmar: Since configuring the thing is mainly a linear process, it just makes sense to me
[16:33:13] grndslm: so, is it possible to have mythbackend automatically start in a terminal all by itself without me logging in, opening a terminal, and typing "mythbackend"?
[16:33:22] Dagmar: grndslm: Yeah
[16:33:22] Juski: Dagmar: cool. looking for a thing to hand out at a linux show soon actually ;-)
[16:33:38] grndslm: Dagmar, teach me!
[16:33:50] Juski: I have knoppmyth in reserve, but I'd rather not...
[16:34:02] grndslm: knoppmyth was junk
[16:34:15] grndslm: i couldn't ever get it to do anything other than the standard install
[16:34:26] grndslm: very limited options
[16:35:25] Dagmar: grndslm: All you need is something like http://pastebin.com/760060 in there being called from inside /etc/rc.d/rc3.d as say, S75mythbackend
[16:35:43] Merlin83b: grndslm: Junk which got me a working MythTV system :-)
[16:35:45] Dagmar: That one at least makes sure the database is running and partly sane before it will start the backend up
[16:36:09] Dagmar: It also feeds the mc.sql file to mysql if that step's not been done yet
[16:36:15] Juski: Merlin83b: does knoppmyth work with dvb right out of the box?
[16:36:34] grndslm: i have the init scripts, but i'd like to see nothing but mythbackend "output" on the screen every time i restart it....since that's all the backend's being used for
[16:36:48] Dagmar: I'm kinda thinking I should just replace the perl script it calls tho, I can do that same thing in about 10 lines of shell scripting
[16:36:51] Merlin83b: Juski: I had to fiddle, but that was a long time ago and the problem proved to be in Myth rather than KnoppMyth.
[16:36:56] Juski: grndslm: you shouldn't have to worry about it
[16:37:05] iresprite: So... no thoughts on the perms?
[16:37:10] Merlin83b: I want to install on a new drive so I might give a newer release of KM a go.
[16:37:26] grndslm: well, i can get it to start at boot, but i can't see any output....just wondering if there was a way
[16:37:28] Dagmar: grndslm: Set LOGFILE to /dev/console then I guess
[16:37:38] grndslm: cool...that might be what i'm looking foor
[16:37:40] grndslm: for
[16:37:53] Dagmar: I write very very readable shell scripts with extra commenting
[16:38:05] grndslm: where is "logfile", btw?
[16:38:14] Juski: iresprite: looks more like a mounting problem... or you've just got a finalised disk in there
[16:38:29] Dagmar: It's sourced in in line 9 ". /etc/rc.d/rc.mythbackend.conf" for lack of a better way to keep it out of the run script
[16:38:49] Dagmar: It should probably go into /etc, but I'm trying to keep it somewhat Slackware-ish
[16:39:13] gutano: iresprite: can you 'su www-data' (assuming it has shell access) and burn directly through growisofs?
[16:39:16] ** Juski is on the brink of making a distro along the lines of minimyth, but fo the s100 **
[16:39:36] iresprite: Juski: dvd appears to be unused. What kind of mounting problem?
[16:39:38] Dagmar: Just wherevver your current shell script is, go into it and change the line that starts the backend to read "/usr/bin/mythbackend -d -l /dev/console" or whatever and you're done
[16:39:44] iresprite: gutano: haven't tried that yet.

[16:41:07] Juski: Merlin83b: might've come today I dunno
[16:41:10] Dagmar: ...although frankly it would probably work better to have it going to a text file and then replace one of the console lines in /etc/inittab to run a tail -f on that file

[16:41:36] Merlin83b: Still waiting to hear how you get one and then may buy one :-)
[16:41:45] Juski: well if I get the frontend working I might aswell package it up
[16:41:56] Merlin83b: Hey, I'm not going to stop you ;-)
[16:42:07] grndslm: Dagmar, you're the programmer...not me
[16:42:08] Juski: already suspect I'm the first UK owner or the box
[16:42:17] Juski: (when it arrives that is)
[16:42:39] grndslm: what do the switches -d and -l do?? l is for log, apparently?
[16:42:42] Juski: unless people already have em & they've just been selfish buggers :-P
[16:43:00] Dagmar: grndslm: It daemonizes it
[16:43:34] Dagmar: i.e., it cuts the tty loose and backgrounds itself like a proper daemon
[16:43:46] Dagmar: That's one you don't want to leave off in an init script
[16:44:04] Juski: so _that's_ what the init script I've got for umbongo is doing wrong!
[16:44:09] Merlin83b: Juski: Or people have 'em and have put VDR or something on there.
[16:44:10] Dagmar: heh
[16:44:14] grndslm: hmm....ok, but then the logs will not be written to a file if i use -l /dev/console?
[16:44:17] Juski: I get backend messages all over the tty
[16:44:29] Juski: whichever I start it from :-/
[16:44:31] Dagmar: ...and your init process stops right there, too.
[16:44:38] Juski: something to fix tonight then
[16:44:50] Dagmar: grndslm: Nope. It writes to one place only. THankfully there's plenty of ways to handle that
[16:45:17] Juski: Merlin83b: lol. nah there really seem to be NO british webpages abaaaht it
[16:45:40] Dagmar: I'm not sure if the way it writes log messages is "fifo-safe" tho. I've not looked at the code that closely yet
[16:45:44] Merlin83b: Well I look forward to your howto and distro. It will cause me to spend money.
[16:45:52] Merlin83b: (okay, that part I'm not so keen on...)
[16:46:12] grndslm: Dagmar, I'm confused.... using the -l switch will write out to the console and a log file or just the console?
[16:46:29] Dagmar: The -l switch tells it *the next argument is the name of the file to write to*.
[16:46:39] Dagmar: In this case, /dev/console, which should mostly work
[16:46:50] grndslm: yea...i don't think i really need a file for the backend anyway
[16:46:53] Dagmar: Some devices look enoough like files to code that it doesn't matter
[16:47:01] grndslm: if it f's up, then i just restart it

[16:47:29] grndslm: Soo...what exactly is /dev/console?
[16:47:31] Dagmar: I'm considering just making it part of a while loop that writes to logger so it goes into syslog, because then syslog could write it to the console
[16:47:33] grndslm: tty1 or what?
[16:47:39] Juski: woohooo! parcelforce left a card today!!
[16:47:43] Dagmar: It's "the console device"
[16:47:52] grndslm: in lamen's terms
[16:47:58] Dagmar: Stuff written to it, in theory, is supposed to appear on the console.
[16:48:25] grndslm: what if the 'puter boots into gdm?
[16:48:34] Dagmar: I have my doubts about whether or not I can safely sanitize data being passed to a shell script from anotehr shell script tho
[16:48:38] psofa: cani change inputs in browse mode?
[16:48:41] Dagmar: I'm going to have to dig some stuff up on that
[16:48:58] Dagmar: If the thing boots to a graphical login tool like gdm, it's doing the wrong thing.
[16:49:17] grndslm: so i have to disable that, if it starts at runlevel 2?
[16:49:32] grndslm: maybe i should just try the ubuntu-server instead
[16:49:32] psofa: i mean if i push Y i go to the next inout.So if i want to switch from 1 to 3 ill have to go 1->2->3
[16:49:39] psofa: can i skip 2 someway?
[16:49:42] Dagmar: There's ways to put something that will spawn an unfocusable borderless xterm to the window of gdm by editing it's session file tho
[16:50:05] Dagmar: It will go from 1 straight to whatever is the default runlevel
[16:50:26] grndslm: Dagmar, that might be too much for me
[16:50:31] grndslm: i think i just need to disable gdm
[16:50:36] Dagmar: i.e., a normal machine does not "pass through" 3 to get to 4 or 5

[18:41:33] b8zs: cant figure it out :(
[18:41:57] GreyFoxx: I want it to recompile a single package, but editing the ebuild gets upset, so now I have to look at the Manifest and either update it or force emerge to go ahead and compile even if the ebuild doesn't match the manifest

[18:42:38] GreyFoxx: ben: Neither do I by choice

[18:42:57] GreyFoxx: but alas, My company is not who set this box up, so it's what I have to deal with :)
[18:43:12] kormoc: GreyFoxx, or you just have it rebuild the manifest

[18:44:02] kormoc: aye
[18:44:43] kormoc: I tend to use ebuild while I'm playing with ebuilds as it allows me to just compile once and all that, so no real recompiles needed

[18:48:38] ben: xris

[18:50:07] ben: xris would be better off improving apt's dependency logic
[18:50:25] xris: ben: biggest issue with deb is that the control files are, well, more than one file.
[18:51:10] ben: you have one package which depends on that other package and want to remove both, let's remove the second one before the first one... nope, can't do that

[19:40:35] speedsix: Hi all
[19:40:41] Juski: hey speedsix
[19:40:51] speedsix: How is everybody tonight
[19:41:40] ** Juski is hacking **
[19:42:06] Juski is now known as Ju5k1
[19:42:09] speedsix: I have just been setting up a Logitech Harmony remote with myth. OH.THE.PAIN :/
[19:42:35] Ju5k1: erm... isn't that like supposed to be umm... as easy as clicky clicky on the interweb? :-P
[19:43:15] speedsix: Yeah if A. your device is listed and B you're setting up a regular tv/dvd/hifi system. Not mythtv jump points etc.
[19:44:29] speedsix: myth jump points seem to be a bit iffy if you're in a section, say listen to music. I had to get the remote to get myth to jump back to the main menu and then jump to the section I wanted
[19:44:46] scopeuk: which imho is what youd expect
[19:44:54] speedsix: I set jump points up on the function keys and made sure they didn't clash with anything
[19:45:58] speedsix: Surely I should just be able to jump from section to section without hopping back to the main menu?
[19:46:06] speedsix: it just kinda went screwy
[19:47:34] speedsix: Jumping out of mythmusic would some times leave the music playing while you were in the new section. Not sure if that is intended or not
[19:47:40] scopeuk: i dont understand the system myth uses to operate each section
[19:48:06] scopeuk: id take a guess mythmusic is usign an external player whcih your jump isent killing
[19:48:11] speedsix: if I set it to jump to the main menu and then the section it wants it works great
[19:50:09] speedsix: Can anyone think why the command "mythfrontend -display :0.1" (start myth on second screen) causes the watch live tv to just appear as a blue screen with sound?
[19:50:16] scopeuk: liek i say i dont fully understand how it works under the hood
[19:50:45] ** scopeuk shuts up before he says somethign completly false and makes jsuki shout at hime **
[19:52:43] speedsix: he's not listening, go right ahead ;)
[19:54:19] speedsix: any ideas? Works fine if I start it with just "mythfrontend" from the second screen. But this is no good as I need it to start on boot on the second display.
[19:57:07] speedsix: Oh it also prints "X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8" on the command line when this happens
[19:57:18] psofa: hmm id like to try commflaging for my recordings.Where do i start from?

[21:53:06] psofa: dev, its a curse.Im also thinking of replacing the current fe/backend box (1200 mhz with one of those famous via 686B mobo's)
[21:53:19] dev: psofa: its whats called a slipper slope
[21:53:21] iresprite: oh... huh. it looks like it's back to normal.
[21:53:27] dev: the more you get into it, the more hardware you require
[21:53:31] psofa: ye ye
[21:53:42] dev: i started with a little micro-atx with 1 tuner and a 300gig drive heh
[21:53:44] psofa: i started it as a dvd player
[21:53:49] psofa: then got dvb-s
[21:53:50] dev: now i have 2 backends and 3 frontends
[21:53:54] psofa: then dvn-t
[21:53:59] psofa: and now normal analogue
[21:54:13] dev: im up to 4 tuners now too
[21:54:16] dev: heh
[21:54:19] Ryushin: stuarta: sorry for the long delay, it's been a heck of a day. yea, it was corrupted and I did a rebuild on it, and it seemed to have fixed it fine. But I've had power supply problems and it's been hard crashing the myth box. Any other ideas?
[21:54:47] Freman: get a ups (c:
[21:54:47] stuarta: Ryushin: now you've fixed the db, the mythcommflag --rebuild will work
[21:54:57] ** psofa patiently waits for the recording to end to see what mythcommflag did **
[21:55:11] ** stuarta bets on nothing **
[21:55:11] psofa: im very pessimistic
[21:55:14] dev: ups wouldnt help a flaky psu
[21:55:33] kormoc: depends on why it is flaky
[21:55:42] kormoc: if it's flaky cause the power sucks major ass, sure it might help
[21:55:42] dev: i wonder how long this box will take to compile mythtv
[21:55:54] Ryushin: Nope. It still causes the same syptoms. For a 1 hour show, it says it's only 15 minutes long. I have to run mythtranscode -b to rebuild the file.
[21:55:54] psofa: kormoc, the power cant be so fucked up
[21:56:01] dev: kormoc: but then its not the psu thats flaky, its the power
[21:56:10] Ryushin: Unless I'm a complete idiot and I don't know how to run mythcommflag. (which might be the case)
[21:56:26] dev: i wonder how long this box will take to compile mythtv
[21:56:27] psofa: maybe a good power triggers less the flakiness
[21:56:37] dev: i'll disable distcc to see
[21:56:45] psofa: but still if a psu is doing that shit, its sure that you will have to replace it soon
[21:57:10] psofa: before it gets something with it
[21:57:17] psofa: a hd for example :)
[21:57:20] dev: before it fries your mobo
[21:57:33] psofa: nah thats hard
[21:57:40] dev: ive had it happen :(
[21:57:53] dev: i fried 2 motherboards before i realised it was the psu
[21:57:58] psofa: Oo
[21:58:11] dev: and a cpu, but it was unrelated
[21:58:17] psofa: when something strange happens the first thing i check is the psu
[21:58:18] kormoc: I had a antec true blue fry a mobo once
[21:58:22] dev: i was stoned and thought it would be ok to run a tbird with no heatsink for a couple seconds, just to post
[21:58:28] psofa: they all die because of their dirtiness
[21:58:30] dev: that shit popped in .0005seconds of pushing the power
[21:58:33] psofa: too much dust
[21:59:04] psofa: dev, that was insane
[21:59:15] kormoc: meh, if my psu dies within 5 years, it gets replaced for free
[21:59:19] dev: s/insane/royally stupid/
[21:59:48] kormoc: So far I got one free psu from them due to a possable defect that I wasn't affected by.
[21:59:55] dev: nice.
[21:59:58] psofa: im runnning a tbird with an 80 low speed fan on hs and an 120 fan psu and its 67c
[22:00:23] psofa: but its still alive after 4 years of hard work
[22:00:43] psofa: if you have it on summer you will end up dead from the heat
[22:00:47] Ryushin: stuarta: I've been running the following: mythcommflag --rebuild --file <mythrecording> Thing is, that it complete faster than I would have thought. It processes a 8 GB HD file in under 2 minutes.
[22:00:48] kormoc: Best part was, they called me up out of the blue, said that my PSU might be affected by a defect, and they were going to send me a replacement one. This was friday at around 8 pm or so. the replacement showed up at the door the next morning.
[22:01:04] kormoc: and both psu's are running absolutely fine years later
[22:01:18] ** kormoc loves companys that go the extra mile **
[22:01:40] psofa: hmm the recording just ended
[22:01:46] psofa: will myth do the commflag now?
[22:01:52] psofa: i see lots of hd activity
[22:01:59] kormoc: psofa, myth can comflag while it is recording
[22:02:05] stuarta: it has a cup of tea first normally
[22:02:10] dev: yeah.. thats what i do
[22:02:18] dev: so you can skip while youre watching that somethings thats partially recorded
[22:02:21] dev: real nice.
[22:02:30] dev: omg english say what

[22:12:06] dev: nope
[22:12:14] psofa: im worried that because of the livetv buffers my disk is gonna die
[22:12:24] psofa: and alon with it all the linux/myth setup
[22:12:28] kormoc: why?
[22:12:34] dev: ive had my entire mythtv setup running off 1 seagate sata drive for 1.5years now
[22:12:49] psofa: because of the frequency of the disk writes
[22:12:50] dev: seagates are nice drives. ive only had 1 fail, and it wasnt mine, and it was almost 7years old
[22:12:52] ben: wow
[22:13:01] psofa: i mean a normal pc doesnt do that much disk activity
[22:13:03] ben: who has a dvb-t card?

[22:13:30] dev: but this is also why im moving everything over to 4x300gig raid5
[22:13:35] dev: no more worries.
[22:13:49] ben: can you recommend something cheap, PCI, and non-kernel-pissing-around-wise configuration?
[22:14:05] kormoc: psofa, and think about it this way, mtbf is some ungodly large number of hours that it won't matter cause before you get close you'll want larger drives
[22:14:31] psofa: i hope so :D
[22:14:36] dev: heats a big killer of drives. keep them cool, you'll be fine
[22:14:49] dev: that 1 seagate drive is in front of a 120mm fan
[22:14:50] dev: hehe
[22:14:56] ben: I am having trouble with choice
[22:15:15] ben: I need something about £30 if possible, no more than ~£45

[23:31:50] b8zs: Eureka, ya i had the same problem, tveeprom was loaded but not seeing my card

[23:33:11] Eureka: b8zs, do i have to recompile the kernel with those modules enabled?
[23:33:15] xris: achew22: lirc kernel module installed?
[23:33:18] b8zs: Eureka, yes
[23:33:22] achew22: xris: as far as I can tell
[23:33:27] b8zs: Eureka, what kernel version are you using
[23:33:29] achew22: xris: is there any check for that?
[23:33:41] Eureka: b8zs, latest one, 2.16
[23:33:41] xris: achew22: depends on your package manager, or if you built your own kernel
[23:33:52] b8zs: Eureka, i reccomend going with 2.15
[23:34:00] Eureka: b8zs, how come
[23:34:15] b8zs: I dont know, i2c issues with 2.16 im guessing
[23:34:37] ** kormoc is amused by the lack of a minor version number **
[23:34:37] Dagmar: I'm not having any problems with 2.6.16.19
[23:34:41] Eureka: b8zs, let me recompile the kernel with those and see what happens
[23:34:50] b8zs: compiled 2.15 and BAM
[23:34:52] b8zs: working card
[23:35:06] kormoc: b8zs, I would imagine you mean 2.6.15 :)
[23:35:11] b8zs: oops

[23:36:08] achew22: xris: what should I do to figure out if I have the modules installed?
[23:36:17] b8zs: let me check...
[23:36:30] Dagmar: So if you were using 0.6.1, of course it's not going to work with 2.6.16
[23:36:33] xris: achew22: what did I just say?
[23:36:45] achew22: you asked me if I had the modules installed — I asked how do I check that
