| 01:14 | <Urgo> | mine hasn't generated a png file since oct 21st |
| 01:15 | <robertj> | Chutt: are these already defined errors standard fare? did I miss something? |
| 01:16 | <Chutt> | robertj, um, well, without you pasting in the actual error, i have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about |

| 01:48 | <hadees> | the docs say /usr/includes/qt3 but your qt might be in another dir similar |
| 01:48 | <hadees> | like /usr/includes/qt3-1 or somthing etc, i don't remember exaclty what mine was |

| 01:48 | <sfr> | 'robertj has quit ' |
| 01:49 | <hadees> | i notice, my ethernet cord came loose i typed that before i saw he left |
| 01:49 | <hadees> | oh well free information |
| 01:51 | <hadees> | i learned all kinds of cool things about mythtv but i can't seem to learn what i need to know, like why my irman isn't working |

| 02:09 | | * o_cee is back (gone 07:54:53) |
| 02:09 | <o_cee> | weh, i got permission to use the icons, meaning i can release the theme when i'm done. |
| 02:14 | <o_cee> | Chutt: wouldn't it be better to seperate the translation stuff that's in the theme files now to a seperate file that all themes can use? pain in the ass to keep it updated now :/ |
| 02:15 | <Chutt> | sure, figure out how to do that and still let theme authors customize the text |
| 02:15 | <o_cee> | question is if that'd be necesarry.. but yeah, that's the negative part if it'd be done that way |
| 02:16 | -!- | phar0e [phar0e@cpe-24-24-236-156.socal.rr.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 02:16 | <phar0e> | Hello |
| 02:18 | <o_cee> | maybe move out the translation and make it optional to specify text, that way, if there's text in the theme, it overrides the standard text.. |
| 02:19 | -!- | mechou [~mchou@12-235-7-243.client.attbi.com] has joined #mythtv |
| 02:21 | <o_cee> | second question, it's only possible to do <titles> with images, right? it's not possible to have a set of different texts? |
| 02:22 | <Chutt> | believe so |
| 02:22 | <o_cee> | okay.. now all titles will be in english.. :/ guess it's the same with visor.. |
| 02:23 | <o_cee> | and uhm.. did you see sfr's suggestion about a different background on the setup screen to make it more obvious that you're in the setup? |
| 02:24 | <Chutt> | i'll accept anything with the proper patch =) |
| 02:24 | <o_cee> | heh, okay :) |
| 02:24 | <phar0e> | If my digital cable box has a serial connector on it and usb, could I use one of those connectors to tune it with MythTV? If so, how? I understand how lirc works with infrared, but what about over serial/USB ports? |
| 02:25 | <o_cee> | look at the contrib dir |
| 02:30 | <o_cee> | what did you think about the theme anyway Chutt? i saw your ip in the log :) |
| 02:30 | <o_cee> | maybe i need to get a myth logo in there as well somewhere |
| 02:30 | <Chutt> | looked ok, from what i saw |
| 02:31 | <Chutt> | how custom are you planning on doing the other stuff, though? |
| 02:32 | <o_cee> | wich stuff do you mean? |
| 02:32 | <Chutt> | the non-menu screens |
| 02:33 | <o_cee> | oh. haven't started looking at it yet, but i'll start without chaning anything there i guess. |
| 02:33 | <o_cee> | i think those are good, not sure i'd be able to to it better myself |
| 02:34 | <Chutt> | bah |
| 02:34 | <Chutt> | i don't like that kind of 'theming' |

| 02:40 | <Chutt> | probably shouldn't do that. |
| 02:41 | <o_cee> | then i'll do two files.. |
| 02:42 | <o_cee> | this patch might (will) break other themes.. hmm :\ |
| 02:43 | <o_cee> | but, people running cvs should be able to fix it ;) |
| 02:47 | <o_cee> | patches send. |
| 02:49 | <o_cee> | blue as background is so common.. grey is to dull.. all reddish doesn't look good on a tv.. yellow/white is to bright.. maybe green. not sure what background to use |
| 02:50 | <Chutt> | dark green, or a textured grey looks nice |
| 02:51 | <o_cee> | yeah.. i'll have to go hunt |

| 10:27 | -!- | Tack_ [~tack@proxy.algomau.net] has joined #mythtv |
| 10:29 | <Tack_> | If I may ask an opinion -- what will yield the best tv output quality of the two: the Matrox G400 (which I understand has very good tv-out) or ADS TV Elite XGA? Are there other options around the same price range? |
| 10:39 | <Chutt> | wintv pvr-350. :p |
| 10:43 | <Tack_> | I was afraid you'd say that, since I just bought a 250 :) |
| 10:43 | <Tack_> | Can I use mplayer with the 350 for tv-out? |
| 10:43 | <Chutt> | i can only tell it's compressed video if i'm right next to the screen |
| 10:43 | <Chutt> | only thing that supports the 350 decoder so far is mythtv |
| 10:44 | <Chutt> | if your machine's fast enough, you can just use it as a generic framebuffer for video display, though |
| 10:44 | <Tack_> | With high quality video I don't see the compression artifacting, it's mostly just that things look muddy and there must be sync issues as panning is quite jerky. |
| 10:44 | <Tack_> | (When using tv-out) |
| 10:44 | <Chutt> | right |
| 10:44 | <Chutt> | none of that exists with the -350 =) |
| 10:45 | <Tack_> | Most of my video output is done with mplayer, alas. :) |
| 10:45 | <Chutt> | i don't touch that stuff, so =) |
| 10:47 | <Tack_> | I'm torn. I could return the 250 and get a 350, but I'd not be able to use the decoder until mplayer supported it. |
| 10:47 | <Chutt> | I notice this in the code: "NuppelVideoPlayer *nvp = new |
| 10:47 | <Chutt> | NuppelVideoPlayer(db, pginfo);" yet the "nuppeldecoder.*" files are |
| 10:47 | <Chutt> | nowhere to be found post install, only in the install directory. |
| 10:48 | <Chutt> | is this guy really asking why it's not installing source files after compilation? |

| 11:11 | <Snow-Man> | Chutt: MythTV can output to a wintv card now? |
| 11:11 | <Snow-Man> | Wel, pvr-350, more specifically. |
| 11:12 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 11:12 | <Snow-Man> | That one has an encoder too, no? |
| 11:12 | <Snow-Man> | And mythtv can use that? |
| 11:12 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 11:12 | <Snow-Man> | Hmmmm. |
| 11:13 | <Snow-Man> | I'd be screwed if I wanted to use mythvideo, eh? |
| 11:13 | <Chutt> | for a while, yeah |
| 11:14 | <Snow-Man> | Hmmm. |
| 11:14 | <Chutt> | and you have to hook your audio up with a couple y adapters to use mythmusic |
| 11:14 | <Chutt> | but the video playback quality is damn near perfect |
| 11:14 | <Snow-Man> | What's the output type? |
| 11:14 | <Chutt> | composite / svideo |
| 11:14 | <Tack_> | My audio out is digital, so that causes an extra problem for me. I'd need to use another input on my receiver. |
| 11:15 | <Snow-Man> | Hmm, I'd still need a VCR to go to coax, but that's not all *that* big a deal I suppose. |
| 11:15 | <Chutt> | i use a real dvd player for movies, and i don't anticipate changing that ever |
| 11:15 | <Snow-Man> | I'd rather use mythvideo for dvd playing, personally. |
| 11:16 | <Tack_> | What about the mythical convergence? :) |
| 11:16 | <Snow-Man> | haha. |
| 11:16 | <Tack_> | One box that does everything. :) |
| 11:16 | <Snow-Man> | Blah. How do I know which WinTV card is the PVR-350? |
| 11:16 | <Chutt> | that's the name of it |
| 11:16 | <Tack_> | It says "PVR-350" :) |
| 11:17 | <Snow-Man> | Well, none of the ones at microcenter.com say anything along those lines. :/ |
| 11:17 | <Chutt> | it's a) huge and b) gets really, really warm |
| 11:17 | <Chutt> | it's not widely available |
| 11:17 | <Chutt> | probably because it's pretty expensive |
| 11:17 | <Snow-Man> | Oh, that sucks. |
| 11:17 | <Chutt> | mine was free, so =) |
| 11:17 | <Snow-Man> | Bastard! :) |
| 11:17 | <Snow-Man> | Who got it for you? |
| 11:17 | <Chutt> | hauppauge |
| 11:17 | <Tack_> | I wonder if there's a video card with tv-out or an external box that will do VGA->SVideo that will come close to the quality of tv-out on the PVR-350. That'd be my ideal solution. |
| 11:17 | <Snow-Man> | God damn you suck. :) |
| 11:18 | <Snow-Man> | Hrm, $176 doesn't seem *that* bad. |
| 11:18 | <Chutt> | no, it's not, really |
| 11:18 | <Chutt> | considering that and a cheap motherboard/cpu/tiny amount of ram gets you a fully working system |
| 11:18 | <Snow-Man> | Not even that many places on pricewatch selling it tho. |
| 11:18 | <Snow-Man> | See, now that shit would be *very* nice for me. :) |
| 11:18 | <Chutt> | it actually makes my mini-itx useable |
| 11:18 | <Snow-Man> | Since I could slap it in phoenix. |
| 11:25 | <Snow-Man> | So, I'm guessing there are some people working on getting mplayer or whatever working with the pvr-350, no? |
| 11:26 | <Chutt> | not at the moment, no |
| 11:27 | -!- | mrra [~user@sdn-ap-024dcwashP0221.dialsprint.net] has quit [Connection timed out] |
| 11:27 | <Snow-Man> | Oh, I thought that "for a while" thing meant work was in progress. |
| 11:27 | <Snow-Man> | I'm guessing it probably wouldn't be able to directly playback DVDs..? |
| 11:28 | <Snow-Man> | Using the hardware decoder that is. |
| 11:28 | <Chutt> | i dunno |
| 11:28 | <Snow-Man> | Hrm. |
| 11:28 | <Chutt> | i've not tried |
| 11:28 | <Chutt> | but it only has the stereo audio out, i'm not sure if you could pull out anything but that |
| 11:29 | <Snow-Man> | Ah, damn, that's a good point. |
| 11:29 | <Tack_> | Yeah, that's the biggest problem for me since all my audio is digital out. |
| 11:29 | <Snow-Man> | I could probably live with just stereo out in the near-term but eventually I'd want something nicer. |
| 11:32 | <m0j0> | MythMusic audio still comes out of the soundcard, correct? |
| 11:33 | <Chutt> | yup |
| 11:34 | <Snow-Man> | You know, I wouldn't think it'd be that difficult to test if the pvr-350 could play back ripped DVDs. |
| 11:35 | <Snow-Man> | Those MythTV files aren't much more than a header followed by an MPEG stream, are they? :) |
| 11:35 | <m0j0> | So, if I got a 350, I could probably feed audio out from that back into my soundcard and continue using my current setup |
| 11:36 | <Snow-Man> | If you had a receiver you could probably have MythVideo stuff play back on one channel and the pvr-350 on the other too. |
| 11:36 | <Snow-Man> | That requires X and that whole shit though, of course. |
| 11:37 | <Snow-Man> | Chutt: With a pvr-350 and just mythtv you can get away w/o X at all, right? |
| 11:37 | <Chutt> | doesn't hurt to run x |
| 11:37 | <Tack_> | m0j0: Good point, although I haven't been able to make line-in passthrough work with my digital output setup., |
| 11:37 | <Snow-Man> | pah. :P |
| 11:37 | <Chutt> | lightweight wm |
| 11:38 | <Snow-Man> | Tack_: You might not be able to, it might not convert from analog to digital.. |
| 11:38 | <Chutt> | and you can do cool transparency stuff with the video |
| 11:39 | <Chutt> | yay, it didn't oops on boot this time |
| 11:39 | <Snow-Man> | Would that still be at the quality of the regular playback? |
| 11:39 | | * Snow-Man tries to understand this shit. |
| 11:39 | <m0j0> | I seem to be able to feed any analog signal to /dev/adsp and get digital out, I wonder if I could do something similar to get pass-through... |
| 11:40 | <Chutt> | snowman, the card does arbitrary alpha blending from the framebuffer onto the video |
| 11:40 | <Snow-Man> | Ahhhhhhh. |
| 11:40 | <Snow-Man> | So you need X to get the stuff into the framebuffer. |
| 11:40 | <Chutt> | or just standard linux framebuffer stuff |
| 11:41 | <Snow-Man> | MythTV supports that? |
| 11:41 | <Chutt> | but using X makes things easier |
| 11:41 | <Chutt> | like, you know the myth program guide when you're watching tv? |
| 11:41 | <Chutt> | the little preview in the corner? |
| 11:41 | <Snow-Man> | Yeah, I know what you're talking about. |
| 11:41 | <Snow-Man> | I was asking if mythtv supported just linux framebuffer. |
| 11:42 | <Chutt> | yeah, it runs against qt/embedded |
| 11:42 | <Snow-Man> | Ah. |
| 11:42 | <Chutt> | though i may have broken that since i last tested |
| 11:42 | <Snow-Man> | hehe. |
| 11:43 | <Snow-Man> | I'm guessing there's no hope for getting mythmusic to go out on the 350? |
| 11:43 | <Snow-Man> | Which would avoid the silly y-cable stuff. |
| 11:43 | <Chutt> | there may be a way to treat it as a generic sound device, like it can act as a generic framebuffer, but i've not heard of it doing that |

| 11:44 | <Snow-Man> | hmm. |
| 11:44 | <Snow-Man> | To be honest we'd probably mainly use the mythtv part of it anyway. |
| 11:44 | <Snow-Man> | Mainly anyway. |
| 11:45 | <Snow-Man> | So all I'd probably need would be a 350 and a VCR and I could throw it in phoenix and run the composite to the VCR, get that to convert it to coax and that signal would run upstairs to my main TV. |
| 11:46 | <Snow-Man> | Of course, I still need a way to control the damn thing. :) |
| 11:46 | <Snow-Man> | Which I imagine still expects the keyboard to be used. |
| 11:46 | <Chutt> | buy a tv that takes svideo. |
| 11:47 | <Chutt> | the pvr-350 remote works fine :p |
| 11:47 | <Snow-Man> | I have one but there's a long distance between the computers and the TV. |
| 11:47 | <Snow-Man> | Err, how's that work? |
| 11:48 | <Snow-Man> | Hmm, I suppose I might be able to put a machine upstairs. |
| 11:48 | <Snow-Man> | Maybe, heh. |
| 11:48 | <Snow-Man> | What would be the min. specs with a pvr-350? |
| 11:49 | <Chutt> | i dunno |
| 11:49 | <Snow-Man> | Hmm. |
| 11:49 | <Chutt> | still want some speed so you can search for commercials in a timely manner |
| 11:49 | <Snow-Man> | I'm guessing still need a pretty decent controller/disk. |
| 11:50 | <Snow-Man> | Probably need something better than a ppro-200. :) |
| 11:51 | <Snow-Man> | I do have a 300Mhz celeron w/ 64M. |
| 11:54 | <Chutt> | probably want more ram than that |
| 11:57 | <Snow-Man> | Hmmm. |
| 11:57 | <Snow-Man> | I'll have to think about it. |
| 11:58 | <Snow-Man> | $207 or so delivered from axiontech. |

| 12:30 | <kvandivo> | newegg has the 350 for $190 shipped free |
| 12:33 | <Chutt> | snowman left |
| 12:33 | | * kvandivo looks around. |
| 12:33 | <Chutt> | went 'out to eat' or something strange |
| 12:33 | <kvandivo> | why would he ever want to go offline for something like that. |
| 12:33 | <kvandivo> | that's what frozen pizzas and cans of soda are for |
| 12:34 | <Chutt> | you ever work more on that recommendation stuff? |
| 12:35 | <kvandivo> | at this time, no.. I've been spending most every waking moment the past few weeks putting siding on my house |
| 12:35 | <Chutt> | ah |
| 12:35 | <kvandivo> | I'm really wanting to change things in a couple of ways for the next couple of steps, though. |
| 12:36 | <kvandivo> | 1) I want to change the name of program rankings. That's not really what it is doing. It's actually setting recording priorities... (and I want to use the name 'program rankings' to actually allow users to rank programs.. whether or not they might happen to have them scheduled to record) |
| 12:37 | <Chutt> | that'd be fine |
| 12:37 | <kvandivo> | 2) actually implement the program rankings, where users can set a value (probably -5 through +5 or something) for how much they like/dislike a random show that shows up in the guide. |
| 12:38 | <kvandivo> | this would also show up in various pages in myth, such as when they delete a show.. they would be asked something like 'how much did you like this (-5 - +5), etc |
| 12:38 | <kvandivo> | and THEN, once that is in, I revise the way that I'm doing the recommendation calcs.. Right now it is working off of values in oldrecorded, recorded, and record.. I'd drop that, and switch to doing pure bayesian on what they have actually ranked |
| 12:39 | <kvandivo> | so that's my plan of attack right now |
| 12:40 | <Chutt> | sounds good |
| 12:40 | <Chutt> | any plans for cf? |
| 12:42 | <kvandivo> | absolutely. |
| 12:42 | <kvandivo> | that's stage 2, though. :) |
| 12:42 | <kvandivo> | that's where i really really really want to get to.. |
| 12:44 | <kvandivo> | with the sparse amount of data that zap2it gives us here in na, i'm guessing that i can achieve pretty good accuracy on the recommendations without collaborative, but with it, it should really be effective |
| 12:44 | <kvandivo> | if we got actors, etc in the datastream i think i could do a pretty slick job without cf |
| 12:44 | <Chutt> | hopefully that'll change whenever they get off their asses and start their datadirect service |
| 12:45 | <kvandivo> | i mean, the current version does pretty well, but it's really using oldrecorded in a way that it wasn't meant for. the data in there isn't really perfect for determining whether or not a user _likes_ a show.. (hence the reasons for my planned changes) |
| 12:48 | <kvandivo> | and then, of course, there is all the configuration options that I have planned.. should it autorecord suggestions, if so, how (how much space, how many of each show, etc etc) and it would be helpful to add a recording type for suggestion, so that the autodelete code knows to kill those first, etc |
| 13:10 | <Chutt> | i really do need to figure out how to keep ivtv-fb from grabbing all the consoles |
| 13:10 | <o_cee> | what's cf? |
| 13:14 | <kvandivo> | collaborative filtering, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. |
| 13:15 | <o_cee> | okay |
| 13:17 | <o_cee> | Chutt: i found a really nice grey background that i think you might like ;) |
| 13:17 | <o_cee> | haven't got any new screenshot yet and the tv is occupied.. will take one later |
| 13:18 | <o_cee> | who wrote the theme stuff? |
| 13:20 | <Chutt> | moegreen, thor, and i |
| 13:22 | <o_cee> | okay. might ask them if they've got time to make <title> possible to use with <text> instead of just <image>. would make it alot more useful. |
| 13:26 | <Chutt> | oh, i did all the menu stuff |
| 13:28 | <o_cee> | oh :) |
| 13:28 | <o_cee> | you don't have time to do that do you? |
| 13:29 | <Chutt> | not at the moment, no |
| 13:31 | <o_cee> | okay. i'll finnish up the theme, maybe someone else can give it a shot. |
| 13:32 | <o_cee> | btw, i've tried to look at the qt docs about colors and such. don't really understand wich fonts and colors i can use.. all fonts that xft has? |
| 13:33 | <Chutt> | try to limit it to commonly installed fonts. |
| 13:33 | <Chutt> | but, yeah |
| 13:33 | <o_cee> | okay. and the colors? where does all the colors that's in the epg come from? |

| 18:36 | <CyberKnet> | I installed RedHat, but the default install seems to leave Xawtv rather broken, so I thought since Isaac uses debian (or so I read) then it would probably be beneficial for me to use debian as well. |

| 19:16 | <MrChook> | I have |
| 19:17 | <CyberKnet> | I'm running through the install, and I'm up to the "Install the base system" step... |
| 19:17 | <MrChook> | and? |
| 19:17 | <CyberKnet> | it asks for the medium, but only presents cdrom, fd0, fd1 and mounted |
| 19:17 | <MrChook> | have you confuigured the network yet? |
| 19:17 | <CyberKnet> | have I done something incorrectly? |
| 19:18 | <CyberKnet> | I have not found an option to configure the network yet... |
| 19:18 | <CyberKnet> | I partitioned the drive, added swap .. then it comes to installing the base system |
| 19:18 | <MrChook> | should be there, you need to configure the network, look further down in the steps |
| 19:18 | <CyberKnet> | perhaps I have done something wrong, or not done something |
| 19:19 | <CyberKnet> | aha |
| 19:19 | <CyberKnet> | thanks man. I'll go kick myself for you now =) |
| 19:19 | <MrChook> | you have to do them out of order a little for netinst |
| 19:19 | <Chutt> | depends on which image you use |
| 19:20 | <Chutt> | the debian install is all fucked up anyway, since they're _still_ rewriting things |
| 19:20 | <MrChook> | yeah |
| 19:20 | <MrChook> | the sarge one looks pretty good but it's a bit unreliable |
| 19:21 | <Chutt> | last i tried it, it was completely unuseable =) |
| 19:21 | <MrChook> | nah, I've used it a few times now |
| 19:21 | <MrChook> | had a few problems but it was useable |
| 19:22 | <CyberKnet> | aha! now it works. =) |
| 19:23 | <CyberKnet> | sorry guys. I should have tried to go down that list more before troubling you. But I really do appreciate your help. |
| 19:24 | <MrChook> | it's not that big a deal... te debian installer is not what I'd call intuitive at times |
| 19:24 | <CyberKnet> | Yeah, but I've installed Slackware before... I think RedHat has softened me some. I rather expect better of myself =) |
| 19:24 | <MrChook> | heh |
| 19:25 | <CyberKnet> | I ran slack for the better part of 4 years before my wife's college required her to have ms office et al so I had to switch back to windows for a while. |
| 19:25 | <CyberKnet> | rather inane question, but is debian more similar to redhat, or slackware? Or is it just in a ball park of its own? |
| 19:26 | <MrChook> | pretty much on it's own |
| 19:26 | <CyberKnet> | I was always rather partial to slack's bootup sequence... never did really like RedHat's rc.d setup |
| 19:26 | <MrChook> | i guess in some respects it;s similar to RH in that it has a package management system |
| 19:26 | <CyberKnet> | I've been itching to try apt for a while now =) |
| 19:27 | <CyberKnet> | I tried drake's urpmi and wasn't too impressed. |
| 19:27 | <MrChook> | but from my perspective, apt shits all over anything redhat has yet |
| 19:27 | <CyberKnet> | heh |
| 19:28 | <MrChook> | apt has been ported to RH but their repositories are shit |
| 19:28 | <D-side> | heh |
| 19:28 | <D-side> | still that bad? |
| 19:28 | <CyberKnet> | so after I install the base system, and setup the system to be bootable... I just reboot? |
| 19:28 | <D-side> | CyberKnet: thats about it. |
| 19:29 | <CyberKnet> | neat |
| 19:29 | <CyberKnet> | that was very fast |
| 19:29 | | * MrChook nods |
| 19:29 | <D-side> | thats when the meat of the install goes. |
| 19:29 | <CyberKnet> | aha |
| 19:29 | <CyberKnet> | heh =) |
| 19:29 | <MrChook> | it will then go through the rest of the install |
| 19:29 | <D-side> | the netinst just gives you a base bootable install |
| 19:29 | <D-side> | and as i was just reading backscroll, i concur. the sarge installer is a hunk of crap. |
| 19:30 | <D-side> | what pisses me off is, i went with redhat 9 because a clean install of woody gave me pure HELL when dist-upgrading to sid. :/ |
| 19:30 | <MrChook> | yeah? |
| 19:30 | <MrChook> | nevr had a problem myself |
| 19:30 | <D-side> | i'm talking about FRESH install |
| 19:30 | <D-side> | i change the sources to unstable and it crapped all over itself. |
| 19:30 | <MrChook> | but then I tend to do the base install then bypass the package selection on reboot |
| 19:31 | <MrChook> | TEN do the dist-upgrade |
| 19:31 | <CyberKnet> | is there somewhere I can read about what the difference between sid/woody/sarge is/ |
| 19:31 | <MrChook> | then install everything |
| 19:31 | <D-side> | i was trying to slim it down. :) |
| 19:31 | <CyberKnet> | never mind, i think I found woody / sarge |
| 19:31 | <CyberKnet> | but not sid |
| 19:31 | <CyberKnet> | I assume sid is unstable |
| 19:31 | <D-side> | went with gentoo but then i couldnt resolve the left channel audio only + garbling after channel change. |
| 19:32 | <MrChook> | CyberKnet: think of it like stable/testing/unstable |
| 19:32 | <D-side> | i see its a known issue per the list, but i never saw a post with a resolution. :/ |
| 19:32 | <D-side> | back to rh9, waiting for the .12 rpms to be ready for release |
| 19:33 | <D-side> | feel free to call me a pussy for not beating sid into submission. |
| 19:34 | <MrChook> | ok |
| 19:34 | | * MrChook calls D-side a pussy |
| 19:34 | <D-side> | thats right. |
| 19:34 | <MrChook> | you use the bf24 installers? |
| 19:34 | <D-side> | i deserve it. |
| 19:34 | <D-side> | absolutely. |
| 19:34 | <CyberKnet> | http vs ftp ... any benefit either way with regards to apt repo? |
| 19:35 | <D-side> | not usually |
| 19:35 | <MrChook> | http iss faster usually |
| 19:35 | <CyberKnet> | thanks |
| 19:35 | <D-side> | ftp is the more "correct" method, if you're a unix nazi |
| 19:35 | <MrChook> | connection setup times for ftp are longer |
| 19:35 | <D-side> | heh |
| 19:35 | <D-side> | i'd never notice, myself. |
| 19:36 | <MrChook> | i do, even on cable |
| 19:36 | <D-side> | i have a problem with paying attention. i never do enough of it. |
| 19:36 | <D-side> | i learned that excuse from term. |

| 19:41 | <D-side> | i swear you people all shut up the second i join this channel. |
| 19:46 | <D-side> | ugh, i seriously cant figure this out, and theres no solution listed on either list. |
| 19:49 | <CyberKnet> | I think I didn't install enough packages =) |
| 19:51 | <CyberKnet> | so I should run apt-get dist-upgrade as soon as install is done to get any updated patches to programs? |
| 19:52 | <CyberKnet> | Hmm... I think I should take this to a debian channel. It's not really appropriate here. |
| 19:52 | <D-side> | er |
| 19:52 | <D-side> | no |
| 19:53 | <D-side> | apt-get update will update you with available packages. |
| 19:53 | <D-side> | not the packages themselves mind you, just the availability. |
| 19:53 | <D-side> | apt-get upgrade will upgrade anything that has a newer version available. |
| 19:54 | <MrChook> | correct sequence is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade |
| 19:54 | <MrChook> | if you are changing from woody to unsatble |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | hmmm |
| 19:56 | <D-side> | oh, is that what he's doing? |
| 19:56 | <D-side> | CyberKnet: my bad. |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | D-side: I'm just futzing around trying to figure myself out |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | apparently I didn't install any packages |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | so ... =) |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | at all. just the base system |
| 19:56 | <CyberKnet> | so I just installed gcc and make ... but I'm pretty much just wandering around blind =) |
| 19:57 | <D-side> | are you at woody or sid now? |
| 19:57 | <CyberKnet> | woody |
| 19:57 | <D-side> | then listen to MrChook |
| 19:57 | <CyberKnet> | should I be running woody or sid? |
| 19:57 | <D-side> | iirc, just change all instances of "woody" or "stable" to "unstable" in /etc/apt/sources-list |
| 19:57 | <D-side> | sid. |
| 19:58 | <CyberKnet> | I think maybe all instances of stable to unstable |
| 19:59 | <CyberKnet> | you got it |
| 19:59 | <CyberKnet> | now I just gotta figure out this version of vi =) no pico... heh |
| 19:59 | <D-side> | then apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade |
| 19:59 | | * MrChook nods |
| 19:59 | <D-side> | what, vi? |
| 19:59 | <D-side> | thank god vi speaks regex |
| 20:00 | <D-side> | <esc>:%s/stable/sid/g |
| 20:00 | <D-side> | or replace stable with woody, if thats what the repos are listed as |
| 20:00 | <D-side> | er |
| 20:00 | <D-side> | heh yeah. |
| 20:01 | <MrChook> | use unstable |
| 20:01 | <D-side> | seriously, i'm going to stop typing. |
| 20:01 | <CyberKnet> | so after changing to unstable, I run apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade |
| 20:01 | <CyberKnet> | ? |
| 20:01 | <D-side> | MrChook: i swear to God i knew that, but for some reason tonight i'm a bumbling idiot. |
| 20:02 | <MrChook> | it happens |
| 20:03 | <D-side> | dont suppose you have any insight on my audio issues |
| 20:03 | <MrChook> | nope, sorry |
| 20:04 | <D-side> | oh well, thanks anyway. whom among us here usually field such questions? |
| 20:04 | <CyberKnet> | will it flash nice big red letters "Welcome To Sid!" when it's done? =) |
| 20:05 | <D-side> | probably not. i just hope you dont end up like me, where it set itself on fire and insulted my mother. |
| 20:05 | <CyberKnet> | hehehe =) |
| 20:05 | <CyberKnet> | it's chugging way there, so I assume it's doing something |
| 20:06 | <CyberKnet> | then I need to figure out what all to apt-get install to get myth to work |
| 20:06 | <CyberKnet> | I'm sure the install guide for myth is where I begin though =) |
| 20:07 | <D-side> | yeah, the docs are excellent. |
| 20:08 | <D-side> | jarod's RH9 + ATRPMS install guide is good too, just found that today. |

| 20:51 | <CyberKnet> | it is. I cant upgrade libc6 because it cant run ldconfig |
| 20:51 | <CyberKnet> | I need to get a new ldconfig from libc6 |
| 20:51 | <CyberKnet> | ... |
| 20:51 | <CyberKnet> | #@! |
| 20:51 | <MrChook> | odd |
| 20:52 | <CyberKnet> | I commented out the calls to ldconfig in postinst |
| 20:52 | <CyberKnet> | hopefully that will be enough to get by |
| 20:57 | <CyberKnet> | MrChook ... supposing I wanted to change all instances of ldconfig in all files in a particular directory ... would there be a tool to do that from the command line? |
| 20:58 | <MrChook> | find and sed would do it |
| 20:58 | <MrChook> | best thing is to get ldconfig working though |
| 20:59 | <CyberKnet> | yeah... it is saying "Illegal instruction" |
| 20:59 | <MrChook> | if you run ldconfig ? |
| 20:59 | <CyberKnet> | I tried apt-get upgrade ld |
| 20:59 | <CyberKnet> | yep |
| 21:00 | <MrChook> | try installing the libc6 package by hand... dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6XXXXXX |
| 21:00 | <MrChook> | assuming it managed to download it |
| 21:02 | <CyberKnet> | there are two libc6's in there |
| 21:02 | <CyberKnet> | I tried to install libc6 and it says libdb1-compat is not configured yet |
| 21:03 | <CyberKnet> | I tried to install libdb1-compat and it says libc6 is not configured yet |
| 21:03 | <MrChook> | hehe |
| 21:03 | <MrChook> | dpkg -l libc6 |
| 21:03 | <MrChook> | what's that give? |
| 21:05 | <MrChook> | also maybe try dpkg --configure -a |
| 21:06 | <CyberKnet> | I'm trying to get ssh access to the box so I can cut and paste the result |
| 21:06 | <MrChook> | i doubt ssh will work if libc6 is munted |
| 21:06 | <MrChook> | all I really want are the first to characters of the line for libc6 |
| 21:06 | <MrChook> | two |
| 21:07 | <CyberKnet> | iF |
| 21:08 | <MrChook> | ok, that means it installed but failed to configure |
| 21:09 | <MrChook> | what does this do ? dpkg --configure -a |
| 21:10 | <CyberKnet> | . /var/lib/dpgk/info/libdb1-compat.postinst line 5 2212 illegal instruction ldconfig |
| 21:10 | <CyberKnet> | and then a long screen of text after |
| 21:11 | <MrChook> | how about dpkg --configure libc6 ? |
| 21:12 | <CyberKnet> | libc6.postinst illegal instruction sleep 1 |
| 21:12 | <CyberKnet> | libc6.postinst illegal instruction ldconfig |
| 21:12 | <CyberKnet> | should I comment out those lines? |
| 21:12 | <MrChook> | how odd |
| 21:15 | <CyberKnet> | I'm thinking if I can comment out all the ldconfig / sleep errors until I get it all installed / configured then I can run ldconfig afterwards |
| 21:16 | <CyberKnet> | apparently not though. |
| 21:16 | <CyberKnet> | maybe if I do an apt-get upgrade ld |
| 21:17 | <MrChook> | ldconfig is in libc6 |
| 21:17 | <CyberKnet> | oh. |
| 21:17 | <CyberKnet> | commenting out ldconfig entries then did not solve the problem. |
| 21:18 | <MrChook> | what version of libc6 is installed? |
| 21:18 | <MrChook> | dpkg -l libc6 |
| 21:18 | <CyberKnet> | ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-8 |

| 22:35 | <Captain_Murdoch> | monkeyBox: are you using xvmc? |
| 22:37 | <kvandivo> | so you aren't starting your tv watching application.. you are just running pcidebug.. |
| 22:38 | <Captain_Murdoch> | kvandivo: yeah, I can't run the app, cause my video card isn't good enough. have to reinstall on a different computer cause this machine has builtin video and no agp slots. |
| 22:38 | <Captain_Murdoch> | drivers supposedly loaded correctly but when I try to watch it gives an error. I think it's the video driver cause the menus are all hosed. |

| 23:27 | <manu> | Chutt, look : do what you think is better for that list. I am trying to explain you, you do not have to trust me. I will just miss the good explanations I found there. |
| 23:35 | <Chutt> | if your mua is broken, then don't post to an extremely busy list with many people on it. |
| 23:37 | <manu> | Chutt, I just figured that out. I have perhaps the reason for it. Anyway I will not post to this list until I am sure, then I will resubscribe when I am reasonably sure that I won't double post annymore. |
| 23:38 | <Chutt> | ok |
| 23:38 | <Chutt> | that's acceptable |
| 23:40 | <manu> | Chutt, OK. Hope to be able to fix that quick. Bye |

| 23:42 | <kvandivo> | Chutt: ok.. if i can recreate it again i'll let you have the bts.. |
| 23:43 | <Chutt> | your first hang should be fixed, though |
| 23:43 | <kvandivo> | Captain_Murdoch: just spent the past hour or so trying out different version of drivers for the m179 and haven't had any luck at all in windows |
| 23:43 | <kvandivo> | Chutt: thanks a million. i'll give it a try |
| 23:43 | <Chutt> | heh |
| 23:44 | <Captain_Murdoch> | kvandivo: ok. I got it at least where i can punch in numbers without locking up. :) |
| 23:44 | <Chutt> | the xbox led crap might not update very timely |
| 23:44 | <Chutt> | but it won't hang anymore if it triggers in a recursive manner |
| 23:44 | <kvandivo> | i'd be happy with granularity of 1 hour if it means my box quits locking up. :) |
| 23:44 | <Chutt> | wish qt had a 'process only socket events' |
| 23:45 | <Chutt> | ah well |
| 23:45 | <Chutt> | if i wasn't doing bad things to it, it wouldn't be causing me problems |
| 23:45 | | * kvandivo smirks. |
| 23:46 | <Chutt> | but if anyone wants to code up a drop in qsocket replacement that doesn't need the main event loop to do stuff, i'd be very happy =) |
| 23:47 | <kvandivo> | isDoingNetworkStuff.. interesting.. |
| 23:47 | <Chutt> | just drops it out of the timer trigger if it was doing stuff |
| 23:48 | <kvandivo> | sounds like a hack, but, like you said, if you have to deal with crappy code, you have to deal with it. :) |
| 23:48 | <Chutt> | right |
| 23:49 | <Chutt> | if you look at that backtrace, you can see what the problem is |
| 23:49 | <kvandivo> | i had thought about playing with the tryLock stuff in mythcontext |
| 23:49 | <Chutt> | it's in the event loop, getting the list of programs |
| 23:49 | <Chutt> | runs out of data from the socket, so it has to run processEvents to get more data |
| 23:49 | <kvandivo> | which grabs serverLock.... |
| 23:50 | <Chutt> | says 'hey, there's a timer i should process' |
| 23:50 | <kvandivo> | ahh.. ok.. i follow you.. sneaky |
| 23:50 | <Chutt> | so the event loop is doubling back up on itself |
| 23:50 | | * kvandivo nods. |
| 23:50 | <Chutt> | it's because i really want qsocket to be synchronos |
| 23:51 | <Chutt> | err, however you spell that =) i've only slept like 2 hours in the past couple days |
| 23:51 | <kvandivo> | that would be convenient.. |
| 23:51 | <kvandivo> | to coin a dave appell statement.. "Get some sleep!" |
| 23:51 | <kvandivo> | (or however you spell his name ;p ) |
| 23:52 | <kvandivo> | attell, maybe it is.. |
| 23:52 | <Chutt> | t's, not p's |
| 23:52 | <Chutt> | got one more little thing to do for Real Work |
| 23:52 | <Chutt> | if i didn't take so many mythtv breaks =) |
