[12:27] <superm1> maybe that you built using dapper sources or something
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <rogue780|laptop> that's just one of my ideas, the one I think is most likely to be usable
[12:36] <superm1> i liked thes
[12:36] <rogue780|laptop> :)
[12:37] <superm1> okay recmndation
[12:37] <rogue780|laptop> so...usable? any suggestions?
[12:37] <superm1> Powered by in the same font as mythbuntu
[12:38] <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
[12:41] <rogue780|laptop> white "&" or blue?
[12:42] <superm1> blue I think
[12:42] <superm1> but i dont know for sure which will look better
[12:43] <rogue780|laptop> I'll send you one of each to see which you like better
[12:45] <superm1> k
[12:49] <rogue780|laptop> sent
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <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
[12:53] <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
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <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
[01:06] <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
[01:10] <superm1> its still a bit off center
[01:10] <superm1> use the ruler at the top of gimp
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <superm1> so thank him next he comes in :)
[01:12] <frank23> superm1: I see
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <superm1> Whats happening with LIRC?
[01:15] <frank23> superm1: The last time I installed mythtv was with dapper and it took me a long time to get it working
[01:16] <frank23> I installed lirc using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Install_Lirc_Feisty and the remote is working when I run   irw
[01:17] <frank23> I copied http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircrc-haupgrey-g3.txt  as ~/.mythtv/lircrc
[01:18] <frank23> But in mythtv nothing happens when I use the remote
[01:18] <frank23> I have 2 PVR-150 cards
[01:19] <superm1> hm
[01:19] <superm1> are your buttons titled the same?
[01:19] <superm1> in your lircd.conf
[01:19] <frank23> I'll check
[01:20] <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
[01:22] <frank23> superm1: hmmm. no I don't think they all have the same names
[01:22] <rogue780|laptop> got it
[01:23] <rogue780|laptop> sorry...centered over ubuntu logo, or left justified with it?
[01:24] <superm1> left justified i think
[01:24] <superm1> frank23, then there ya go :P
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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
[01:28] <rogue780|laptop> next time
[01:29] <superm1> rogue780|laptop, looks very good
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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] <twodeko> howdy all
[01:34] <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 :)
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <rogue780|laptop> is it a special installer? or "just" modifying the ubuntu installer?
[01:37] <superm1> its a modification to ubiquity
[01:37] <superm1> as of right now the installer on the disk is a vanilla ubiquity
[01:38] <superm1> because the mods to ubiquity dont run at all
[01:38] <rogue780|laptop> fun
[01:38] <rogue780|laptop> what installer does mepis use?
[01:39] <superm1> havent ran mepis
[01:39] <superm1> so couldnt tell ya
[01:40] <superm1> rogue780|laptop, well most of the stuff that we will be doing is python
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <superm1> haven't done any as of yet - so couldnt tell ya
[01:43] <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
[01:44] <rogue780|laptop> adios, and thanks
[01:44] <rogue780|laptop> anything I can do to help, I want to try
[02:38] <tgm4883_> majoridiot, will a SD program recorded over firewire take SD space or HD space?
[02:38] <majoridiot> SD
[02:39] <tgm4883_> sweet
[02:39] <majoridiot> smaller than a pvr150 cap @720x480, typically.
[02:39] <tgm4883_> good, i dont know why i was thinking it would be HD size
[02:40] <tgm4883_> ugh vista
[02:40] <majoridiot> yeah... but it's what they wanted.
[02:40] <tgm4883_> i had major problems with vista
[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
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <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_> uhh, yea......this is the new vista
[02:43] <tgm4883_> no really, microsoft decided to change a few graphics
[02:43] <majoridiot> he's planning to install feisty in a few months, or wait for gutsy.  but he does want to try ubuntu.
[02:43] <tgm4883_> oh good
[02:43] <majoridiot> (i'm including a feisty liveCD when i deliver it ;)  )
[02:46] <rogue780|laptop> majoridiot, you got mail
[02:47] <majoridiot> gotta munch... biab
[02:48] <rogue780|laptop> gtg
[03:20] <rogue780|laptop> majoridiot, did you get that email?
[03:20] <majoridiot> yes
[03:20] <majoridiot> eating.  will look soon.
[03:25] <majoridiot> rogue780|laptop: looks very nice :)
[03:25] <rogue780|laptop> sweet. that's 3 for 3 then
[03:26] <rogue780|laptop> :-D
[03:26] <majoridiot> :D
[03:57] <SuperMike> Hello
[03:58] <SuperMike> Who can help me to purchase correct capture card?
[03:58] <majoridiot> correct for what application?
[03:59] <SuperMike> I want to record my Xbox 360.  I uses component cables.
[03:59] <SuperMike> *it
[04:00] <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.
[04:02] <SuperMike> Your thoughts?
[04:04] <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
[04:08] <SuperMike> How much does that card go for?
[04:09] <SuperMike> $68 on NewEgg
[04:09] <majoridiot> you can find it for $60-90
[04:11] <SuperMike> Why do you recommend that card?
[04:11] <majoridiot> afforadable, kernel support (in feisty), good quality
[04:12] <majoridiot> i have two and i think they are of very good quality/value
[04:16] <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.
[04:17] <majoridiot> the PCHD problem is very minor... an oversight, really. add a module load is all.  it
[04:18] <SuperMike> PVR 150 remote works in Linux ?
[04:18] <majoridiot> yes... blaster too. lirc compatible.
[04:21] <SuperMike> So hands down you feel that card is the best bang for your buck?
[04:21] <majoridiot> i think so, yes.
[04:22] <SuperMike> What is the difference between the other PVR models
[04:23] <majoridiot> # of tuner, mostly.
[04:25] <SuperMike> NewEgg reviews seem to like the PVR 500 and PVR 150 MCE
[04:26] <majoridiot> 500s were kinda hard to find... dunno about now.
[04:27] <majoridiot> 150/150MCE are essentially the same, except 150 has on-card ir support and 150MCE has usb-based ir
[04:29] <tgm4883_> 500 is more if you want to do two shows at once
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <majoridiot> yes
[04:32] <tgm4883_> yep
[04:34] <tgm4883_> if you were close by id sell you mine
[04:36] <SuperMike> I am in Chicago
[04:36] <tgm4883_> oregom
[04:36] <tgm4883_> n
[04:36] <tgm4883_> geez, i cant even spell my own state
[04:37] <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?
[04:38] <tgm4883_> how much are you planning on recording?
[04:39] <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?
[04:40] <tgm4883_> maybe a little more
[04:40] <majoridiot> thaz about right
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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?
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <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?
[04:45] <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
[04:46] <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
[04:47] <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
[04:48] <tgm4883_> what are you planning on doing with your captured xbox video?
[04:48] <SuperMike> Make halo high light reels
[04:49] <SuperMike> and the capture homebrew content
[04:49] <tgm4883_> ah
[04:50] <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
[04:51] <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
[04:54] <tgm4883_> what resolution are you capturing in?
[04:55] <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
[04:57] <tgm4883_> oh yea?
[04:57] <SuperMike> http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/07/04/22/0035238.shtml
[04:58] <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.
[04:59] <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.
[05:00] <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
[05:01] <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
[05:02] <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
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <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
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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)
[05:09] <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
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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.
[05:12] <SuperMike> BD beats HD across the boards not only is disk capacity.
[05:12] <majoridiot> that's just beyond stupid.
[05:12] <SuperMike> Only thing the HD DVD has it is cheaper and no java crap
[05:12] <SuperMike> Money talks baby
[05:13] <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
[05:14] <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
[05:15] <tgm4883_> id say so, you can get a bluray player for 500, but whats the point
[05:17] <SuperMike> Wal Mart
[05:17] <tgm4883_> wal mart is your point?
[05:19] <SuperMike> Wal mart Xmas '07   HD DVD stand alone units ~149 would be the HD point, yes!
[05:20] <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
[05:21] <tgm4883_> i would have to know your setup to recommend a card
[05:22] <SuperMike> I have cable internet for my home.   Cable Modem to NetGear 4 port Wifi router.
[05:22] <SuperMike> maybe a 30 ft radius
[05:23] <tgm4883_> is your computer next to your 360?
[05:24] <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
[05:25] <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
[05:26] <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?
[05:27] <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
[05:28] <tgm4883_> im not keen on usb wireless cards as they have all been a crapshoot for me
[05:29] <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?
[05:30] <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?
[05:32] <SuperMike> Ha, I found a Linksys PCI WMP11 card, I am not sure if that is supported
[05:33] <tgm4883_> :shrugs: i use a wrt54g
[07:33] <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
[07:34] <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
[07:35] <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
[07:38] <superm1> http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-9755/README/appendix-d.html
[07:38] <superm1> Option "DPI" "string"
[07:39] <superm1> so you want:
[07:39] <superm1> Option "DPI" 100x100"
[07:40] <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
[07:42] <superm1> 100x100 is what i use
[07:42] <superm1> and what you should use for mythboxen
[07:43] <tgm4883_> ok
[07:43] <tgm4883_> cause its freaking small on my lcd
[07:43] <tgm4883_> hard to reach from the couch
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <tgm4883_> and that goes under device
[07:45] <superm1> or screen
[07:45] <superm1> device is fine
[07:53] <tgm4883_> sweet
[07:53] <tgm4883_> much better
[07:53] <tgm4883_> thanks
[07:54] <tgm4883_> one more question if you have a moment
[07:54] <tgm4883_> about scheduling
[07:54] <superm1> sure
[07:56] <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
[07:57] <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
[07:58] <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
[07:59] <superm1> honestly, i've never used that setting for max kept shows
[08:00] <superm1> I'm not sure the overall effect it has on scheduling when the drive fills up...
[08:00] <superm1> :)
[08:02] <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 :(
[08:03] <tgm4883_> i just need a little cleaner signal
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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
[08:07] <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?
[08:08] <tgm4883_> majoridiot seems to think its a poor signal for those channels
[08:09] <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
[08:12] <tgm4883_> he saw this in the logs
[08:12] <tgm4883_> [mpeg2video @ 0x2b742b70afd0] ac-tex damaged at 13 29
[08:12] <tgm4883_> 2007-04-21 21:20:53.815 FireRec, Error: TS packet out of sync.
[08:12] <tgm4883_> 2007-04-21 21:20:53.821 FireRec, Error: TS packet out of sync.

[08:12] <tgm4883_> 2007-04-21 21:20:53.822 FireRec, Error: TS packet out of sync.
[08:12] <superm1> ick
[08:12] <tgm4883_> apparently i am supposed to call the head technician and try to get this fixed
[08:13] <tgm4883_> yea
[08:13] <superm1> tgm4883_, do you want to see what rogue780's new usplash looks like?
[08:14] <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
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <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
[08:21] <superm1> oops.  looks like it didn't work anyhow :)  here is what it "will" look like
[08:22] <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
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <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
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <superm1> haha
[08:28] <tgm4883_> yes, apparently those are not official
[08:30] <tgm4883_> anyway, its getting late and im off to bed
[08:30] <tgm4883_> later superm1
[08:31] <superm1> night tgm4883
[08:31] <superm1> night tgm4883_
[08:27] <smultron> when i try and play a movie, it acts like it's going to play for a second, but then just goes back to the normal screen :/
[08:39] <of> hi all
[08:41] <humblecoder> I'm having an odd high pitched drone noise in Myth
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <humblecoder> . . .any ideas?
[08:45] <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?
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <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
[08:50] <tgm4883> hmm
[08:51] <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)
[08:53] <humblecoder> leadtek WinTV 2000 OEM
[08:53] <smultron> tgm4883, it's just a saved video file
[08:53] <tgm4883> oh
[08:54] <tgm4883> smultron, are you running feisty?
[08:54] <tgm4883> humblecoder, same question
[08:55] <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
[08:56] <smultron> tgm4883, yes, it's standard OGG
[08:56] <tgm4883> hmm, strange, it should play out of the box
[08:57] <tgm4883> humblecoder, whats the rest of your system specs?
[08:57] <tgm4883> smultron, what episode?  Ill load it on my box
[08:58] <tgm4883> or no episode works?
[08:58] <smultron> tgm4883, just any one
[08:58] <smultron> any file
[08:59] <humblecoder> Celeron D 356 (3.33GHz)     . . .  1GB PC4200 DDR2 . . .PC CHIPS P23G
[09:00] <smultron> tgm4883 it wont import my audio CDs either
[09:00] <smultron> it just ejects the CD w/o doing anything
[09:03] <tgm4883> hmm
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <tgm4883> i really do wish i could help though
[09:09] <humblecoder> not a problem, thanks bro
[09:10] <smultron> tgm4883, heh, not a problem. i wasn't expecting you to fix all my problems. thanks for trying to take them on, though :)
[09:19] <superm1> hi everyone, very full channel today it appears
[10:38] <rogue780|laptop> howdy all
[10:42] <tgm4883> hi rogue780
[11:27] <tgm4883> anyone familiar with the crestron system?
[11:56] <tgm4883_> anyone use the good ol NFS?
[12:19] <superm1> jono, how did the setup come along?
[12:19] <superm1> rogue780|laptop, you got my mail?
