| superm1 | maybe that you built using dapper sources or something | 12:27 |
|---|---|---|
| rogue780|laptop | right..my first one that I made a few weeks ago I made on dapper not realizing that it had changed...built it with fesity today, but there have been some weird bugs | 12:29 |
| rogue780|laptop | you should have it in your mail box | 12:29 |
| rogue780|laptop | that's just one of my ideas, the one I think is most likely to be usable | 12:30 |
| superm1 | i liked thes | 12:36 |
| rogue780|laptop | :) | 12:36 |
| superm1 | okay recmndation | 12:37 |
| rogue780|laptop | so...usable? any suggestions? | 12:37 |
| superm1 | Powered by in the same font as mythbuntu | 12:37 |
| superm1 | and then "Ubuntu & mythtv" | 12:38 |
| rogue780|laptop | oops, I actually meant to change the font on that | 12:38 |
| superm1 | as in just put an & between | 12:38 |
| rogue780|laptop | inbetween the logos? | 12:38 |
| superm1 | yup | 12:38 |
| superm1 | in the same font | 12:38 |
| rogue780|laptop | white "&" or blue? | 12:41 |
| superm1 | blue I think | 12:42 |
| superm1 | but i dont know for sure which will look better | 12:42 |
| rogue780|laptop | I'll send you one of each to see which you like better | 12:43 |
| superm1 | k | 12:45 |
| rogue780|laptop | sent | 12:49 |
| superm1 | ok white & | 12:51 |
| superm1 | now the mythbuntu at the top, is it centered? | 12:51 |
| superm1 | it looks a little off | 12:51 |
| superm1 | and the powered by, i think move to the left | 12:51 |
| superm1 | right above the ubuntu logo | 12:51 |
| rogue780|laptop | I haven't centered or aligned anything yet really...new to gimp, not sure if there are any align functions yet | 12:52 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure either if there are | 12:52 |
| rogue780|laptop | so I'm going to have to align them manually, and didn't want to put the effort into it until I had the design finished...didn't feel like the extra work. I'm kinda lazy i suppose | 12:53 |
| superm1 | but between all the items up there, thats a really slick set of pieces | 12:56 |
| superm1 | how does it look once its converted to 16 color? | 12:56 |
| superm1 | or whatever the limitation is for splashes | 12:56 |
| superm1 | dont remember offhand | 12:56 |
| rogue780|laptop | 256 | 12:57 |
| rogue780|laptop | it doesn't look bad at all | 12:57 |
| superm1 | wonderful | 12:57 |
| superm1 | its too bad that they cant be in true color | 12:57 |
| rogue780|laptop | I'll send it to you aligned and converted to 256 in a few minutes | 12:57 |
| rogue780|laptop | indeed | 12:57 |
| superm1 | k | 12:57 |
| rogue780|laptop | maybe next release | 12:57 |

| rogue780|laptop | alrighty, check it out now. 256 colors, I think I got most of the stuff aligned...not sure, I don't have a great eye for that | 01:06 |
| superm1 | its still a bit off center | 01:10 |
| superm1 | use the ruler at the top of gimp | 01:10 |
| superm1 | its roughly 125 on the left | 01:11 |
| superm1 | and what looks like 150-175 on the right | 01:11 |
| superm1 | see how the powered by looks right above the Ubuntu though yet too | 01:11 |
| frank23 | superm1: great job on the mythtv wiki pages. They're amazing! | 01:11 |
| superm1 | frank23, majoridiot has been keeping up with the feisty ones :) I did all the edgy and dapper ones though | 01:11 |
| superm1 | so thank him next he comes in :) | 01:12 |
| frank23 | superm1: I see | 01:12 |
| superm1 | frank23, you like all the packaging changes with regard to mysql and the dialogs now for mythtv-setup? | 01:13 |
| frank23 | I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Feisty_Backend_Frontend_Desktop_O on a new feisty install without problem. I haven't gotten lirc to work yet but lirc is not part of the mythtv pages as such | 01:13 |
| superm1 | Whats happening with LIRC? | 01:14 |
| frank23 | superm1: The last time I installed mythtv was with dapper and it took me a long time to get it working | 01:15 |
| frank23 | I installed lirc using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty and the remote is working when I run irw | 01:16 |
| frank23 | I copied http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-haupgrey-g3.txt as ~/.mythtv/lircrc | 01:17 |
| frank23 | But in mythtv nothing happens when I use the remote | 01:18 |
| frank23 | I have 2 PVR-150 cards | 01:18 |
| superm1 | hm | 01:19 |
| superm1 | are your buttons titled the same? | 01:19 |
| superm1 | in your lircd.conf | 01:19 |
| frank23 | I'll check | 01:19 |
| rogue780|laptop | superm1, "though yet too"? | 01:20 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, as in see how it looks if you move the "Powered By" right above the Ubuntu logo | 01:20 |
| frank23 | superm1: hmmm. no I don't think they all have the same names | 01:22 |
| rogue780|laptop | got it | 01:22 |
| rogue780|laptop | sorry...centered over ubuntu logo, or left justified with it? | 01:23 |
| superm1 | left justified i think | 01:24 |
| superm1 | frank23, then there ya go :P | 01:24 |
| rogue780|laptop | so I'm putting it right over the circle part of the ubuntu logo | 01:25 |
| superm1 | yea that sounds right | 01:25 |
| frank23 | superm1: where can I find a lircd.conf anb .lircrc for mythtv for a grey hauppauge remote (PVR-150) that will work I wonder | 01:25 |
| superm1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=lircd.conf.hauppauge | 01:26 |
| superm1 | http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-haupgrey-g3.txt | 01:26 |
| superm1 | those should work together | 01:27 |
| rogue780|laptop | ok...again you have mail... | 01:27 |
| rogue780|laptop | maybe I should fire up apache and just post it there | 01:27 |
| rogue780|laptop | next time | 01:28 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, looks very good | 01:29 |
| rogue780|laptop | sweet-er-roony | 01:30 |
| rogue780|laptop | what is the status of mythbuntu btw? | 01:30 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, everything is ready but the installer | 01:30 |
| superm1 | the website hosting isn't set up yet | 01:30 |
| rogue780|laptop | ah | 01:31 |
| superm1 | imbrandon has a server for us | 01:31 |
| rogue780|laptop | we got permission to use ivtv drivers? | 01:31 |
| superm1 | yes | 01:31 |
| superm1 | but its kinda good (for me) because i have finals these next two weeks | 01:31 |
| superm1 | so i should really put more time towards school then myth :) | 01:31 |
| frank23 | superm1: are you sure? it's Ch+ in lircd.conf and Channel-UP in that lircrc | 01:31 |
| superm1 | frank23, oh you appear to be right... | 01:32 |
| rogue780|laptop | has anyone tried to make a graphical lirc configuration gui yet? | 01:32 |
| superm1 | i'm surprised no one has caught that yet | 01:32 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, no not yet | 01:32 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, that was going to be my pet project this summer until mythbuntu livedisk and all went full swing | 01:33 |
| superm1 | so its on the back burner now | 01:33 |
| rogue780|laptop | I had that problem, and it threw me off for a little bet | 01:33 |

| rogue780|laptop | what do I need to know to make gui programs for gnome/X? any books/tutorials that you would recommend? I'm coming from dos/windows programming so it's all a little freaky seeming | 01:34 |
| rogue780|laptop | when is the projected launch date of mythbuntu? with gutsy? | 01:34 |
| superm1 | hey twodeko :) | 01:34 |
| twodeko | whaddup superm1 | 01:35 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, i showed twodeko your splash | 01:35 |
| twodeko | i liked it :p | 01:35 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, all depends on how much work this installer turns out to be | 01:35 |
| rogue780|laptop | yey | 01:35 |
| superm1 | because jetsradiem ran into lots of issues | 01:35 |
| rogue780|laptop | is it a special installer? or "just" modifying the ubuntu installer? | 01:36 |
| === twodeko forgot how nice IRSSI was | ||
| superm1 | its a modification to ubiquity | 01:37 |
| superm1 | as of right now the installer on the disk is a vanilla ubiquity | 01:37 |
| superm1 | because the mods to ubiquity dont run at all | 01:38 |
| rogue780|laptop | fun | 01:38 |
| rogue780|laptop | what installer does mepis use? | 01:38 |
| superm1 | havent ran mepis | 01:39 |
| superm1 | so couldnt tell ya | 01:39 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, well most of the stuff that we will be doing is python | 01:40 |
| superm1 | i'm not very versed in it myself | 01:41 |
| rogue780|laptop | I have a python book somewhere...is it easy to make gui programs with it? | 01:41 |
| rogue780|laptop | I don't know much about it | 01:41 |
| superm1 | haven't done any as of yet - so couldnt tell ya | 01:42 |
| superm1 | rogue780|laptop, sorry to cut off short but i have to work on a project with my team mate here | 01:43 |
| superm1 | i'll catch up with you more later | 01:43 |
| superm1 | awesome job on the splash | 01:43 |

| majoridiot | yeah... but it's what they wanted. | 02:40 |

| tgm4883_ | 64 bit? | 02:40 |
| majoridiot | 32 | 02:40 |
| majoridiot | at my insistence | 02:40 |
| superm1 | why? | 02:40 |
| superm1 | install vista | 02:40 |
| tgm4883_ | :shrugs: hope its better than my experience | 02:40 |
| tgm4883_ | i had 64 bit installed, business edition (Got it free through my school) | 02:41 |
| majoridiot | dunno... the guy is running windows 98 now. i thought he was going XP, but he got scared of the MS "threats" of discontinuing support | 02:41 |
| tgm4883_ | dont know how it happened, but after a few days, nothing could access the internet | 02:41 |
| tgm4883_ | well, except for 64 bit internet explorer | 02:42 |
| majoridiot | he's going from a PIII to a core 2 duo... LOL | 02:42 |
| tgm4883_ | nice upgrade | 02:42 |
| majoridiot | i had nothing but grief with XP64 | 02:42 |
| tgm4883_ | you should pull a fast one on him and install feisty | 02:42 |

| tgm4883_ | no really, microsoft decided to change a few graphics | 02:43 |

| SuperMike | Hello | 03:57 |
| SuperMike | Who can help me to purchase correct capture card? | 03:58 |
| majoridiot | correct for what application? | 03:58 |
| SuperMike | I want to record my Xbox 360. I uses component cables. | 03:59 |
| SuperMike | *it | 03:59 |
| === majoridiot recalls that discussion | ||
| SuperMike | I want to be able to play my Xbox 360 on the TV and have it be recorded on the computer for later video editing. | 04:00 |
| SuperMike | Your thoughts? | 04:02 |
| SuperMike | This is what the connector on my xbox 360 looks like. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Tr5K6JL2L._SS500_.jpg | 04:04 |
| majoridiot | like i said, your likely best non-crazy-expensive option is to get a splitter that will go to HD and svideo and the record the svideo feed with a pvr150 | 04:04 |
| SuperMike | How much does that card go for? | 04:08 |
| SuperMike | $68 on NewEgg | 04:09 |
| majoridiot | you can find it for $60-90 | 04:09 |
| SuperMike | Why do you recommend that card? | 04:11 |
| majoridiot | afforadable, kernel support (in feisty), good quality | 04:11 |
| majoridiot | i have two and i think they are of very good quality/value | 04:12 |
| SuperMike | I see that work out of the box better than the PCHDTV cards, why is that? I thought those cards are designed for linux. | 04:16 |
| majoridiot | the PCHD problem is very minor... an oversight, really. add a module load is all. it | 04:17 |
| SuperMike | PVR 150 remote works in Linux ? | 04:18 |
| === napa [n=napa@216.146.103.99] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv | ||
| majoridiot | yes... blaster too. lirc compatible. | 04:18 |
| SuperMike | So hands down you feel that card is the best bang for your buck? | 04:21 |
| majoridiot | i think so, yes. | 04:21 |
| SuperMike | What is the difference between the other PVR models | 04:22 |
| majoridiot | # of tuner, mostly. | 04:23 |
| SuperMike | NewEgg reviews seem to like the PVR 500 and PVR 150 MCE | 04:25 |
| majoridiot | 500s were kinda hard to find... dunno about now. | 04:26 |
| majoridiot | 150/150MCE are essentially the same, except 150 has on-card ir support and 150MCE has usb-based ir | 04:27 |
| tgm4883_ | 500 is more if you want to do two shows at once | 04:29 |
| tgm4883_ | two tuners in one | 04:30 |
| SuperMike | Well I have Comcast and I have dual tuner personal video recorder for my cable TV set. | 04:30 |
| SuperMike | Just need something for the computer so I can record Halo | 04:30 |
| SuperMike | mahahhaa | 04:30 |
| napa | redvsblue | 04:31 |
| SuperMike | I am going to get this one since majoridiot recommend it. Is this the right one? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16815116620 | 04:31 |
| majoridiot | yes | 04:32 |
| tgm4883_ | yep | 04:32 |
| tgm4883_ | if you were close by id sell you mine | 04:34 |
| SuperMike | I am in Chicago | 04:36 |

| === majoridiot is pretty sure that there is shipping between OR and IL | ||
| tgm4883_ | are you sure? | 04:37 |
| SuperMike | I have a 256gb HDD, I am thinking I might need a new and better one. 500gb or bigger? | 04:37 |
| === majoridiot heard rumors | ||
| tgm4883_ | how much are you planning on recording? | 04:38 |
| === tgm4883_ can't sell it to superMike as tgm4883 is still bitter about the 1992 NBA Finals | ||
| tgm4883_ | dam michael jordan | 04:39 |
| SuperMike | Well I built this Intel Core 2 Duo e6400 2gb ram, Nvidia 7600GT, Two 20.1 in 1680x1050 monitors. | 04:39 |
| SuperMike | I would just hate to run out of room. | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_ | majoridiot, whats he going to get with svideo? about 2.2 Gb per hour? | 04:39 |
| tgm4883_ | maybe a little more | 04:40 |
| majoridiot | thaz about right | 04:40 |
| tgm4883_ | you have a 256Gb drive? | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_ | not like 250? | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_ | or 300? | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_ | They actually sell a 256Gb drive? | 04:41 |
| SuperMike | I currently have a 250gb | 04:41 |
| tgm4883_ | ah | 04:41 |
| SuperMike | $65 bucks for Sata 2 250gb HDD on NewEgg | 04:42 |
| SuperMike | 500gb goes for $130 | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_ | seems about right | 04:42 |
| tgm4883_ | do you have a seperate drive for video work? | 04:42 |
| SuperMike | I am thinking. Cause I know video chews up disk space. | 04:43 |
| SuperMike | Right now, 208gb free. | 04:43 |
| tgm4883_ | it does, and you need to have at least a seperate partition for video | 04:43 |
| SuperMike | maybe I should get two of those drives for a solid 1.25TB | 04:44 |
| tgm4883_ | any old drives laying around, say around 20 Gb? | 04:44 |
| tgm4883_ | you could use something like that for your system drive | 04:45 |
| SuperMike | I think I might have a 120gb EIDE | 04:45 |
| tgm4883_ | err root partition | 04:45 |
| tgm4883_ | thats a little larger than you need | 04:45 |
| tgm4883_ | sounds weird, but check out a local good will | 04:45 |
| tgm4883_ | sometimes they have electronics for pretty cheap (older stuff anyway) | 04:46 |
| tgm4883_ | got a steal on my tivo | 04:46 |
| tgm4883_ | that is, before i built the mythtv | 04:46 |
| SuperMike | MythTV is like TIVO for PC? | 04:47 |
| tgm4883_ | um yea i guess you could say that | 04:47 |
| tgm4883_ | although it is so much more than just tivo | 04:47 |
| tgm4883_ | what are you planning on doing with your captured xbox video? | 04:48 |
| SuperMike | Make halo high light reels | 04:48 |
| SuperMike | and the capture homebrew content | 04:49 |
| tgm4883_ | ah | 04:49 |
| tgm4883_ | well with a 250Gb Hard drive (probably about 237Gb actually), say about 20Gb for system programs and such leaves you around 217 to work with video | 04:50 |
| tgm4883_ | means you can capture around 72 hours of content | 04:50 |
| tgm4883_ | but that would leave you no space to work | 04:50 |
| SuperMike | Yea, I better grab one to be safe. | 04:51 |
| SuperMike | Any of you guys have a HD player? | 04:51 |
| tgm4883_ | Wouldn't hurt to grab one | 04:51 |
| tgm4883_ | what resolution are you capturing in? | 04:54 |
| SuperMike | I think PVR150MCE only allows me to capture video up to 720x480 | 04:55 |
| tgm4883_ | no i dont have one, if i do get one, it will be multiformat | 04:55 |
| tgm4883_ | hmm | 04:55 |
| SuperMike | Nah, you dont need to. HD DVD has won | 04:55 |
| tgm4883_ | oh yea? | 04:57 |
| SuperMike | http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/07/04/22/0035238.shtml | 04:57 |
| SuperMike | Yea. Wal mart has purchased 2 million HD DVD players. Anticipated price is $300, and it is expected to have price down to $150 by Christmas. | 04:58 |
| tgm4883_ | well i hope so, perhaps just because i hate sony and there crap, or maybe because HD DVD is a superior format. But there is a pretty big install base of bluray players | 04:59 |
| SuperMike | How can Blu-Ray compete with that>? | 04:59 |
| SuperMike | Actually Blu ray is technically better. | 04:59 |
| tgm4883_ | based on? | 05:00 |
| SuperMike | Physical specs | 05:00 |
| tgm4883_ | are you basing it on size only? | 05:00 |
| SuperMike | Here this is funny. "So, you're saying that the company that created Betamax, ATRAC encoding, the S-Link protocol, Minidisc players, Super-AudioCDs, Memory Sticks and Universal Media Discs might actually lose a format war? | 05:00 |
| SuperMike | Preposterous!" | 05:00 |
| tgm4883_ | lol | 05:00 |
| SuperMike | I am telling ya, Wal Mart is a Giant. If they support HD DVD it is a wrap! | 05:01 |
| tgm4883_ | they can support HD DVD all they want, but its the studios that will push the format | 05:01 |
| tgm4883_ | and unfortunatly bluray has more studios backing it | 05:02 |
| SuperMike | Studio dont care. | 05:02 |
| tgm4883_ | now i haven't looked at the companies in a while, they may be crap | 05:02 |
| tgm4883_ | if they didn't care, they wouldn't pick a side | 05:02 |
| SuperMike | home users decide | 05:03 |
| tgm4883_ | thats the problem | 05:03 |
| tgm4883_ | home users decide | 05:03 |
| SuperMike | Is Mrs Jones going to buy qa $1k Blu-Ray player or a $300 HD DVD | 05:03 |
| tgm4883_ | no its more like Mr jones wants to get HD content and is sold on a HD player when he walks into best buy | 05:04 |
| SuperMike | lol | 05:04 |
| SuperMike | yea right | 05:04 |
| SuperMike | I work in sales | 05:04 |
| tgm4883_ | now mr jones loves (insert movie here), but that movie is only availible on (insert format here) | 05:04 |
| tgm4883_ | guess what he buys | 05:04 |
| majoridiot | a dvd? | 05:04 |
| tgm4883_ | vhs tape | 05:04 |
| SuperMike | Trust me. Mr Jones don't care. Mr Jones says "Does this play the new HD? And does my old DVD still work? Okay it is 5x cheaper than other!" | 05:05 |
| tgm4883_ | err betamax | 05:05 |
| SuperMike | Trust me. I like BD because it is technically superior but.... Wal Mart has the golden touch that will swing this one. | 05:06 |
| tgm4883_ | personally i think neither "next gen" format will win (dont get me started on that) | 05:06 |
| tgm4883_ | i disagree on the technically superior, it may hold more data, but data isn't everything | 05:06 |
| SuperMike | Why wont it will ? Cause studios will release movies on both formats. You will see HyBrid players that can play both types of disc. | 05:07 |
| tgm4883_ | there are hybrid players and hybrid disks | 05:07 |
| tgm4883_ | the problem with bluray (and it is probably the kiss of death) is they have already stated that you can't put objectionable stuff on it (ie porn) | 05:08 |
| majoridiot | wtf? | 05:09 |
| majoridiot | who says? | 05:09 |
| tgm4883_ | let me see if i can find the statement | 05:09 |
| SuperMike | Did you know the porn industry jumped on VHS back cause it was cheaper. You will see same with HD DVD | 05:09 |
| majoridiot | that's just.... asinine. | 05:09 |
| SuperMike | Do your research | 05:09 |
| SuperMike | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD | 05:10 |
| tgm4883_ | im saying that is the reason HD DVD could win | 05:10 |
| tgm4883_ | probably will | 05:10 |
| tgm4883_ | but neithe of the formats are really next gen | 05:10 |
| tgm4883_ | not that companies dont through around the phrase "next gen" as much as they can | 05:11 |
| SuperMike | scroll down to the bottom to see comparison charts. | 05:11 |
| SuperMike | BD beats HD across the boards not only is disk capacity. | 05:12 |
| majoridiot | that's just beyond stupid. | 05:12 |
| === majoridiot officially boycots all HD formats | ||
| SuperMike | Only thing the HD DVD has it is cheaper and no java crap | 05:12 |
| SuperMike | Money talks baby | 05:12 |
| SuperMike | LOL. I am going to buy HD just cause of the movie 300! Seriously. As soon as you can purchase that for HD I am buying the player and movie. | 05:13 |
| tgm4883_ | and porn | 05:13 |
| SuperMike | Look right now if you have a x360 you can get a player for $187 bucks. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103051 | 05:14 |
| tgm4883_ | id say so, you can get a bluray player for 500, but whats the point | 05:15 |
| SuperMike | Wal Mart | 05:17 |
| tgm4883_ | wal mart is your point? | 05:17 |
| SuperMike | Wal mart Xmas '07 HD DVD stand alone units ~149 would be the HD point, yes! | 05:19 |
| === majoridiot would rather chew off his own feet than shop at walmart | ||
| SuperMike | Anyone have a wireless card? | 05:20 |
| SuperMike | Now I got my Video card on order, last thing I needed for my linux box is WIFI card that works out of box too. | 05:20 |
| majoridiot | wmp54g | 05:20 |
| tgm4883_ | i would have to know your setup to recommend a card | 05:21 |
| SuperMike | I have cable internet for my home. Cable Modem to NetGear 4 port Wifi router. | 05:22 |
| SuperMike | maybe a 30 ft radius | 05:22 |
| tgm4883_ | is your computer next to your 360? | 05:23 |
| SuperMike | yes. about 15 ft away. | 05:24 |
| tgm4883_ | oh | 05:24 |
| tgm4883_ | just trying to picture this | 05:24 |
| tgm4883_ | your 360 connects wirelessly? | 05:24 |
| SuperMike | you want me to draw a picture? | 05:24 |
| tgm4883_ | lol no | 05:24 |
| tgm4883_ | im imaginative | 05:24 |
| SuperMike | Okay pretty much office and living room connect/ no doors | 05:25 |
| tgm4883_ | are you going to be doing any file transfers between other PC's wirelessly? | 05:25 |
| tgm4883_ | meaning the video your capturing | 05:25 |
| tgm4883_ | or is it mainly for internet | 05:25 |
| SuperMike | 46in LCD with x360 in the living room. 15 feet away is office with super computer. They are hard wired networked | 05:25 |
| tgm4883_ | i dont get it, if there hardwired, why do you need a wireless card? | 05:26 |
| SuperMike | Wifi card is not for me. | 05:26 |
| tgm4883_ | oh | 05:26 |
| tgm4883_ | that makes much more sense | 05:26 |
| tgm4883_ | for a laptop? | 05:26 |
| SuperMike | It is for an old computer that i am fixing for a lady. i was going to put Ubunut on it . She only connects wireless, so I need and out of the box compatible drive. Desktop. P3 450myhz. | 05:27 |
| tgm4883_ | ah | 05:27 |
| tgm4883_ | im not keen on usb wireless cards as they have all been a crapshoot for me | 05:28 |
| SuperMike | For a couple bucks she can still use your crappy computer and linux can extend its life expectancy by breathing a little life back into it versus power monger winblows | 05:29 |
| tgm4883_ | so unless the wmp54g is pcmcia i would go with that | 05:29 |
| tgm4883_ | agreed | 05:29 |
| tgm4883_ | installing dapper? | 05:29 |
| SuperMike | Fiesty? | 05:30 |
| tgm4883_ | ok, no problems with tat | 05:30 |
| tgm4883_ | that | 05:30 |
| tgm4883_ | feisty support now outlasts dapper right? | 05:30 |
| SuperMike | Either that or if that runs to slow the Fluxbuntu? | 05:30 |
| SuperMike | Ha, I found a Linksys PCI WMP11 card, I am not sure if that is supported | 05:32 |
| tgm4883_ | :shrugs: i use a wrt54g | 05:33 |

| tgm4883_ | How do you increase the text size, (not in the appearance setup) | 07:33 |
| superm1 | text size of the whole system you mean? | 07:33 |
| superm1 | like the dpi | 07:33 |
| tgm4883_ | i guess | 07:34 |
| superm1 | nvidia card? | 07:34 |
| tgm4883_ | the text size is way small | 07:34 |
| tgm4883_ | yea | 07:34 |
| superm1 | using proprietary nvidia driver? | 07:34 |
| tgm4883_ | yes, not legacy | 07:34 |
| tgm4883_ | wait | 07:34 |
| tgm4883_ | proprietary is from the repo right, not from nvidia site | 07:35 |
| tgm4883_ | well it would be both | 07:35 |
| tgm4883_ | but im using from the repo | 07:35 |
| superm1 | okay | 07:35 |
| superm1 | there is a "DPI" setting to add to xorg.conf | 07:35 |
| superm1 | i dont have my xorg.conf handy | 07:35 |
| superm1 | let me see if i can find it | 07:35 |
| superm1 | http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-d.html | 07:38 |
| superm1 | Option "DPI" "string" | 07:38 |
| superm1 | so you want: | 07:39 |
| superm1 | Option "DPI" 100x100" | 07:39 |
| tgm4883_ | lol | 07:40 |
| tgm4883_ | im looking at all that and like, "damn, thats complicated" | 07:40 |
| tgm4883_ | your like 100x100 | 07:40 |
| tgm4883_ | that easy | 07:40 |
| tgm4883_ | so is that an example? | 07:40 |
| tgm4883_ | or should i be puting that in | 07:40 |
| superm1 | 100x100 is what i use | 07:42 |
| superm1 | and what you should use for mythboxen | 07:42 |
| tgm4883_ | ok | 07:43 |
| tgm4883_ | cause its freaking small on my lcd | 07:43 |
| tgm4883_ | hard to reach from the couch | 07:43 |
| tgm4883_ | now its still 100x100 even for widescreen? | 07:44 |
| superm1 | yea | 07:44 |
| tgm4883_ | ok | 07:44 |
| superm1 | afaik :) | 07:44 |
| tgm4883_ | its going do | 07:44 |
| tgm4883_ | and that goes under device | 07:45 |
| superm1 | or screen | 07:45 |
| superm1 | device is fine | 07:45 |
| tgm4883_ | sweet | 07:53 |
| tgm4883_ | much better | 07:53 |
| tgm4883_ | thanks | 07:53 |
| tgm4883_ | one more question if you have a moment | 07:54 |
| tgm4883_ | about scheduling | 07:54 |
| superm1 | sure | 07:54 |
| tgm4883_ | I've gotten a few shows now on my daily schedule, and most are set to record on "record on any day on this channel" | 07:56 |
| tgm4883_ | some record daily, some any time any channel | 07:56 |
| superm1 | ya | 07:56 |
| tgm4883_ | now, the only one set for a maximum number of episodes kept is the one that records on any channel at any time (friends) also has a priority of -5 | 07:57 |
| tgm4883_ | so when the Hard drive fills up | 07:57 |
| tgm4883_ | is it going to record this at all? | 07:57 |
| tgm4883_ | and what happens to the lower priority shows with a fulll HD? | 07:57 |
| superm1 | it will start to autoexpire | 07:57 |
| superm1 | unless you turn off autoexpire of course | 07:57 |
| tgm4883_ | I guess my question is, do i need to set max kept shows on all programs? | 07:58 |
| tgm4883_ | otherwise, wouldn't my hd fill with whatever has highest priority and nothing else | 07:58 |
| superm1 | honestly, i've never used that setting for max kept shows | 07:59 |
| superm1 | I'm not sure the overall effect it has on scheduling when the drive fills up... | 08:00 |
| superm1 | :) | 08:00 |
| tgm4883_ | BTW, the firewire is working great now, have to call the cable company about a couple of the channels (and hopefully the firewire drivers will mature a little) but by the time you decide to use firewire again it should be even better | 08:02 |
| tgm4883_ | ok | 08:02 |
| tgm4883_ | lol, as soon as i wrote that my backend crashed :( | 08:02 |
| tgm4883_ | i just need a little cleaner signal | 08:03 |
| superm1 | haha | 08:05 |
| superm1 | do u know, did majoridiot have luck with his cable co | 08:05 |
| superm1 | and getting his CCI channels reverted? | 08:05 |
| tgm4883_ | not sure, i think he was going to call on monday | 08:05 |
| tgm4883_ | unless i was working on this on thursday | 08:06 |
| superm1 | well i thought the guy already came out | 08:06 |
| superm1 | the cable guy, and he talked with him | 08:06 |
| tgm4883_ | the past couple of days have been a blur | 08:06 |
| superm1 | wasnt sure though | 08:06 |
| tgm4883_ | oh | 08:06 |
| superm1 | yea i know the feeling | 08:06 |
| tgm4883_ | majoridiot had me check a couple different channels to see what was encrypted and not | 08:06 |
| tgm4883_ | trying to compare | 08:06 |
| tgm4883_ | i have no encryption or cci it seems | 08:07 |
| tgm4883_ | even on showtime | 08:07 |
| superm1 | so what was your overall problem then? | 08:07 |
| superm1 | just the power cycling? | 08:07 |
| tgm4883_ | majoridiot seems to think its a poor signal for those channels | 08:08 |
| tgm4883_ | its just some channels that cause it to crash every time | 08:09 |
| superm1 | hm | 08:09 |
| tgm4883_ | some channels do it randomly though | 08:09 |
| tgm4883_ | he saw this in the logs | 08:12 |
| tgm4883_ | [mpeg2video @ 0x2b742b70afd0] ac-tex damaged at 13 29 | 08:12 |

| superm1 | ick | 08:12 |
| tgm4883_ | apparently i am supposed to call the head technician and try to get this fixed | 08:12 |
| tgm4883_ | yea | 08:13 |
| superm1 | tgm4883_, do you want to see what rogue780's new usplash looks like? | 08:13 |
| superm1 | i just finished building the deb | 08:14 |
| tgm4883_ | yea | 08:14 |
| tgm4883_ | can you send it again, i lost it | 08:14 |
| tgm4883_ | stupid xchat | 08:14 |
| superm1 | haven't actually ran it yet, literally just finished building | 08:14 |
| tgm4883_ | so is it safe then to run on my main box? | 08:15 |
| superm1 | tgm4883_, well hold off one sec, i'll run it in a VM and make sure everything works as intended | 08:15 |
| superm1 | it wont break anything, but at worst you wouldnt have a usplash :) | 08:16 |
| tgm4883_ | i can handle that | 08:16 |
| tgm4883_ | ah | 08:16 |
| tgm4883_ | your gonna have to send me a pic of it | 08:16 |
| tgm4883_ | unless its safe to override architecture | 08:17 |
| superm1 | oh amd64 - | 08:17 |
| superm1 | i'll make a snapshot of it once its on the VM | 08:17 |
| superm1 | and show ya | 08:17 |
| tgm4883_ | sweet | 08:17 |
| superm1 | oops. looks like it didn't work anyhow :) here is what it "will" look like | 08:21 |
| tgm4883_ | sweet | 08:22 |
| tgm4883_ | now does that come up where the ubuntu spash is now? Or the mythtv splash is now? | 08:22 |
| superm1 | the ubuntu splash | 08:22 |
| tgm4883_ | nice | 08:22 |
| tgm4883_ | looks great | 08:22 |
| superm1 | yea rogue780 did a great job | 08:23 |
| tgm4883_ | yea, too bad he couldn't use the first ubuntu logos he found, lol | 08:23 |
| superm1 | which ones? | 08:23 |
| tgm4883_ | he went to google images and searched for ubuntu logo | 08:23 |
| tgm4883_ | apparently those that he found were not "official" enough | 08:24 |
| superm1 | oh | 08:24 |
| tgm4883_ | most noteably | 08:24 |
| superm1 | it could be trouble, the ones that he used regarding licensing. hopefully that doesnt come up | 08:24 |
| tgm4883_ | hmm | 08:25 |
| tgm4883_ | i think that they looked at that | 08:25 |
| tgm4883_ | there are rules to follow when using the logo | 08:25 |
| superm1 | yea i would have assumed so | 08:25 |
| tgm4883_ | this is the one they couldn't use | 08:26 |
| tgm4883_ | http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://blog.levhita.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/ubuntu-logo.jpg&imgrefurl=http://abbashalai.com/&h=354&w=492&sz=29&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=-Awtc1BfVZLTsM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dubuntu%2Blogo%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG | 08:26 |
| tgm4883_ | its a shame | 08:26 |
| superm1 | haha | 08:27 |
| tgm4883_ | yes, apparently those are not official | 08:28 |
| tgm4883_ | anyway, its getting late and im off to bed | 08:30 |
| tgm4883_ | later superm1 | 08:30 |
| superm1 | night tgm4883 | 08:31 |
| superm1 | night tgm4883_ | 08:31 |

| of | hi all | 08:39 |
| === of is now known as humblecoder | ||
| humblecoder | I'm having an odd high pitched drone noise in Myth | 08:41 |
| humblecoder | running Xubuntu | 08:42 |
| humblecoder | I've tried several mixing combinations with alsamixer, as well as adjusting inputs/throughputs in Myth, all to no avail | 08:42 |
| humblecoder | . . .any ideas? | 08:43 |
| tgm4883 | smultron, are you trying to play a commercial DVD? | 08:45 |
| tgm4883 | hi of | 08:45 |
| tgm4883 | humblecoder, have you tried testing with not mythtv, such as mplayer or xine? | 08:45 |
| humblecoder | tgm4883, yes, I've used Xawtv and Tvtime. . .both work fine | 08:46 |
| humblecoder | no sound artifacts at all | 08:46 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 08:46 |
| humblecoder | I'm guessing the difference is LINE IN vs processed sound | 08:46 |
| tgm4883 | and its using the same setup in mythtv? | 08:47 |
| humblecoder | yup, besides Line In | 08:47 |
| smultron | tgm4883, trying to play an encoded video... diggnation podcase in OGG format to be exact | 08:47 |
| smultron | podcast* | 08:47 |
| humblecoder | Myth uses Alsa processed sound, and Tvtime uses Line In | 08:47 |
| tgm4883 | can you hear the actual audio i mythtv, or just the noise | 08:48 |
| humblecoder | oh, I can hear the audio just fine, there's just a high pitched drone that accompanies it | 08:48 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 08:50 |
| tgm4883 | im not sure on that, hopefully majoridiot or superm1 will drop by as they are much more knowledgable than me on this | 08:51 |
| tgm4883 | whats the capture card? | 08:51 |
| tgm4883 | smultron, not sure about that as I dont do podcasts (not streaming anyways) | 08:51 |
| humblecoder | leadtek WinTV 2000 OEM | 08:53 |
| smultron | tgm4883, it's just a saved video file | 08:53 |
| tgm4883 | oh | 08:53 |
| tgm4883 | smultron, are you running feisty? | 08:54 |
| tgm4883 | humblecoder, same question | 08:54 |
| smultron | tgm4883: edgy | 08:55 |
| tgm4883 | smultron, and you can play the file outside of mythtv? | 08:55 |
| humblecoder | yup yup. . .Xubuntu 7.0.4 | 08:55 |
| humblecoder | 7.04 I mean | 08:55 |
| smultron | tgm4883, yes, it's standard OGG | 08:56 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, strange, it should play out of the box | 08:56 |
| tgm4883 | humblecoder, whats the rest of your system specs? | 08:57 |
| tgm4883 | smultron, what episode? Ill load it on my box | 08:57 |
| tgm4883 | or no episode works? | 08:58 |
| smultron | tgm4883, just any one | 08:58 |

| tgm4883 | smultron, humblecoder, im not sure about either of your problems, and this is going to sound like a copout, but you could either wait for majoridiot or superm1, both of which are more knowledgable than I, or you could try your luck in the much larger room #mythtv-users | 09:08 |
| tgm4883 | i really do wish i could help though | 09:09 |
| humblecoder | not a problem, thanks bro | 09:09 |
