| squish102 | what is the best tool to take my dvd's and make them xvids so i can view them from mythtv and that they dont take too much space | 00:04 |

| lime4x4 | is there a trick to get a nvidia geforce 7150 | 01:28 |
| lime4x4 | too work | 01:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | um, install the drivers? | 01:28 |
| lime4x4 | i tried selecting restricted drivers and it still wants to use the vesa drivers | 01:29 |
| lime4x4 | the video gpu is built into the board with dvi,vga and hdmi output | 01:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | strange | 01:30 |
| lime4x4 | this is the board i'm using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188021 | 01:31 |
| lime4x4 | i guess my next step is to try and install envy | 01:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !envy | 01:33 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 01:33 |
| lime4x4 | i tried using the restricted drivers and there not installing | 01:33 |
| lime4x4 | i went with that board cause it uses a nvidia chipset | 01:35 |
| lime4x4 | and built in video | 01:35 |
| lime4x4 | I just don't know why the restricted drivers aren't being installed/used | 01:37 |
| blkorpheus | ppl really have a difficult time installing the nvidia drivers from nvidia huh? | 01:39 |
| blkorpheus | its really simple | 01:39 |
| lime4x4 | not really i have a gutsy box with dual geforce pci-e cards in sli mode and the restricted driver manager worked like a charm | 01:40 |
| blkorpheus | what do you mean not really, never said the restricted manager would not or does not work | 01:41 |
| blkorpheus | the nvidia drivers from the site, work better | 01:41 |
| lime4x4 | it was in reference to your first post | 01:41 |
| blkorpheus | because they generally are newer than those in the repos | 01:41 |
| blkorpheus | the latest nvidia driver has a lot of fixes for compiz and whatnot | 01:42 |
| blkorpheus | eom | 01:42 |
| lime4x4 | well i guess i will try and install the drivers from nvidia's site and c what happens | 01:43 |
| lime4x4 | is 169.09 the latest version? | 01:45 |
| lime4x4 | since my board uses a geforce 7150 should i install the legacy driver's instead? | 01:46 |

| eddan | When booting from the 7.10 cd, I've tried both normal install and safe graphics mode. But after some loading (including a mythtv boot screen), I'm suddenly stuck at in easybox with (initramfs) as prompt. Can I somehow disable the fancy mythtv boot screen so I can see what actually happens before it stops? | 12:21 |
| eddan | oh, it's busybox, not easybox :) | 12:36 |
| eddan | Is the alternative (text-mode) installer available for mythbuntu or is that ubuntu only? | 12:59 |
| laga | there's not text-mode installer for mythbuntu. you can just use the the alternative ubuntu installer and add mythbuntu later | 13:00 |
| eddan | ok... There's no drawbacks to that approach? | 13:01 |
| eddan | I mean, besides that I need to use a text-mode installer. | 13:03 |
| laga | well, since you want to do that it's not exactly a drawback .) | 13:05 |
| laga | um | 13:05 |
| laga | i think you won't get the mythbuntu mythtv theme that way | 13:05 |
| laga | but i wouldn't worry about that :) | 13:05 |
| jduggan | just install blootube :) | 13:07 |
| eddan | Hope I can skip kde (or gnome) during the install, total bloatware imho. | 13:07 |
| * laga not sure | 13:08 | |
| laga | you don't get them if you do a server install, though | 13:08 |
| laga | but just try it :) | 13:08 |
| eddan | hang on | 13:09 |
| eddan | Hmm, I have a scsi cd-rom drive, do I need to pass some parameters to enable scsi support or something? So annoying that I don't get to see any error messages. ctrl+alt+f1 just shows Loading... | 13:11 |
| jduggan | dont know for sure but you may be able to pass nosplash as a boot option to stop the mythbuntu splash cscreen | 13:12 |
| eddan | jduggan: ah, will try. | 13:13 |
| eddan | nope, still got the splash screen.. I hit F6 and added "nosplash" in the end. | 13:15 |
| eddan | s/in/at | 13:18 |
| eddan | Ok, trying the text-mode installer now | 13:26 |

| Rimers | hi guys | 13:31 |
| Rimers | anyone got a nice sugestion as to what filesystem i should use for my new 500gb disk in my mythbuntu system? | 13:32 |
| Rimers | i want it to be nice, fast and reliable | 13:32 |
| Rimers | anyone?? | 13:36 |
| directhex|work | Rimers, use ext3 for system partitions, xfs for recordings | 13:41 |
| directhex|work | Rimers, that's general best practice | 13:42 |
| Rimers | okay, thanks :) got my system partition sorted allready :) thanks | 13:42 |
| directhex|work | xfs is acceptable for system partitions if you feel daring, and/or have a big expensive support contract with sgi | 13:44 |
| * Viaken has never known XFS to be that unstable. | 15:19 | |
| mindframe- | Viaken, it doesn't handle power loss well, as I recently learned. | 15:21 |
| mindframe- | other than that it's fantastic | 15:21 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | xfs on a usb drive mounted incorrectly can give you a heck of a headache | 15:25 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | had it corrupting the FS every time it would power down | 15:25 |
| Viaken | Ah. Might be why I haven't had troubles. My UPSs work fairly well. | 15:27 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | is it a usb drive, or an internal one? | 15:28 |
| Viaken | I use it on internal drives. | 15:34 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | try running the check/repair utilities on it, should be able to recover | 15:35 |
| dwf_starband | am i supposed to have a mythtv user? | 16:37 |
| dwf_starband | mythfilldatabase stoped working for me about the beginning of the year, I havent had time to mess with it till now, I was googeling about it and one guy said he was able to get it to run by loging in as the mythtv user, but i dont have a mythtv user, should i? | 16:39 |
| dwf_starband | and if i do, does the password matter? or will i need to change it somewhere as well? | 16:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | try running it by hand with whatever user you use on that box | 16:39 |
| dwf_starband | mythfilldatabase? | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | yep | 16:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | hopefully it will give you some sort of hint as to what the problem is | 16:40 |
| dwf_starband | i just get errors, "failed writing http request: bad file descriptor" | 16:40 |
| dwf_starband | http request sent, awaiting response... 401 unauthorized | 16:41 |

| superm1 | keescook, rtg was saying you have a patch from upstream that will resolve unionfs with nfs issues. laga was interested in testing it with mythbuntu-diskless stuff if you can point him at | 18:42 |
| * laga idling | 18:43 | |
| Lossif | Hey guys, I am having an issue with my mythbuntu livecd... | 19:03 |
| Lossif | It keeps freezing on the install, locking up at the: | 19:03 |
| Lossif | * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) | 19:03 |
| superm1 | odds are it's not freezing | 19:04 |
| superm1 | but that X isn't coming up | 19:04 |
| superm1 | hit ctrl alt f1 | 19:04 |
| superm1 | and you can look at the logs in /var/log | 19:04 |
| Lossif | well... now that you mention it when I use the live cd for 7.04 | 19:04 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | bad burn maybe, is there any sort of disc check built in? | 19:04 |
| Lossif | it mentions that the xserver is not coming up | 19:04 |
| Lossif | or something | 19:05 |
| Lossif | now... I just installed a new graphics card... | 19:05 |
| Lossif | when I tried to use the vga out on the motherboard | 19:05 |
| Lossif | it would not go much past the install menu | 19:06 |
| Lossif | then the monitors would blank and they would give me their default error msg | 19:06 |
| Lossif | so I stuck in a card with a dvi and it got further, but not much | 19:08 |
| Lossif | I found this regarding it | 19:08 |
| Lossif | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590132.html | 19:08 |
| Lossif | but... they talk about ATI cards and I have an asus nvidia card | 19:08 |
| Lossif | superm1: you were correct it was not frozen | 19:11 |
| Lossif | rhpot1991_laptop: I check the disc already and it passed | 19:11 |
| grndslm | i need help... I can't seem to get mythtv working anymore as it looks like there's some kinda hard drive issue with my /archive directory that is stores all recorded shows onto a separate hard drive that has LVM... here's all pertinent info: http://pastebin.ca/871140 | 19:21 |
| superm1 | Lossif, well so try safe graphics mode | 19:26 |
| superm1 | on your card(s) | 19:26 |
| superm1 | and see if you have more luck there | 19:26 |
| Lossif | just did | 19:26 |
| Lossif | and no such luck | 19:26 |
| superm1 | alternatively you can try the 8.04 alpha disk | 19:26 |
| superm1 | and see if it gets further (and has better support for your card) | 19:26 |
| Lossif | hmm | 19:26 |
| Lossif | is there any know issue with mythbuntu and PCI express cards? | 19:31 |
| superm1 | well not pcie cards in particular | 19:32 |
| superm1 | i use one myself :) | 19:32 |
| Lossif | I wouldn't think so either... and this is a 2 year old card so I would have assumed it would be supported as well | 19:34 |
| Lossif | but when I checked the log like you suggested | 19:34 |
| Lossif | it said that there was no display | 19:35 |
| Lossif | and that vesa had not been loaded | 19:35 |
| superm1 | well you can try to tweak the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:36 |
| superm1 | see if it was just a funny installation | 19:37 |
| superm1 | or even better you can install a restricted driver | 19:37 |
| Lossif | I am booting off of a livecd | 19:37 |
| superm1 | in command line | 19:37 |
| superm1 | yeah its still there | 19:37 |
| superm1 | even though its a livecd | 19:37 |
| Lossif | sorry, I forgot to mention I am a complete noob | 19:37 |
| superm1 | Lossif, :) | 19:38 |
| superm1 | Lossif, okay so is this an nvidia or ati card? | 19:38 |
| superm1 | you said ati right? | 19:38 |
| Lossif | nvidia | 19:38 |
| superm1 | okay what series? | 19:38 |
| Lossif | I heard ati was flakey with linux | 19:38 |
| superm1 | 5,6,7,8? | 19:38 |
| Lossif | 6200 | 19:38 |
| superm1 | okay install nvidia-glx-new | 19:38 |
| superm1 | sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 19:38 |
| Lossif | one sec | 19:38 |
| superm1 | and then you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 19:38 |
| Lossif | started it to reboot | 19:39 |
| superm1 | and change the line referrering to vesa to "nvidia" | 19:39 |
| superm1 | after you do that, you can try to restart gdm | 19:39 |
| superm1 | via | 19:39 |
| superm1 | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 19:39 |
| Lossif | huh... that actually doesn't seem too to difficult | 19:39 |
| superm1 | well if it works, that would be spectacular, and a solution for a lot of people that run into this | 19:40 |
| superm1 | so the kernel modules are shipped, so its possible this will just "work" out fine | 19:40 |
| Lossif | ok it stopepd the gnome display manager | 19:46 |
| Lossif | but it failed to start | 19:46 |
| superm1 | check the log again | 19:48 |
| superm1 | and see | 19:48 |
| Lossif | I just did it again... and it said it started the gnome display manager | 19:57 |
| lime4x4 | I can't install the restricted drivers for a nvidia 7150 card when i do my screen goes to 860x640 resolution and if i try to enable a higher res my screen gets all fuzzy and unreadable | 20:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | lime4x4, what kind of tv? | 20:05 |
| lime4x4 | it's a 51 inch widescreen i'm connecting the pc to the tv thru a dvi cable | 20:06 |
| lime4x4 | but it also does the samething on a 19 inch lcd panel | 20:06 |
| Seeker` | how does the "mute" work in myth? (i.e. which channel does it control?) | 20:07 |
| Seeker` | because when I press mute, I can still hear sound playing quietly | 20:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | seeker i believe it is a program mute | 20:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | although im not real sure as i always just use the tv mute | 20:07 |
| Seeker` | looking at alsamixer, it sets the PCM channel to '0' | 20:08 |
| Seeker` | but I have to mute the PCM channel to actually stop all sound | 20:09 |
| lime4x4 | i went with a htpc motherboard with the nvidia onboard videovga,hdmi and dvi | 20:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | on a side note, why would you use mute? | 20:10 |
| Seeker` | tgm4883_laptop: Because it can be useful to silence the TV | 20:12 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but why would you want to silence the tv? I mean, if you get a phone call or something i can see needing it quiet, but you wouldn't want to miss the program so why not pause? | 20:12 |
| Lossif | comercials | 20:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | this is a serious question, as i have wondered why we still have mute buttons | 20:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Lossif, you guys watch commercials/ | 20:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ? | 20:13 |
| Lossif | well... if you watch tv in real time ever | 20:13 |
| Seeker` | because I usually have the TV on as background noise while I'm working, so I'm not bothered about missing it, but i would like it to be quiet | 20:13 |
| tgm4883_laptop | whats this real time thing? | 20:13 |
| Lossif | hah hah | 20:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Seeker`, now i'm really confused | 20:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you want background noise, but you want to mute it? | 20:14 |
| Seeker` | tgm4883_laptop: If I get a call etc. I want it to be quiet | 20:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah | 20:14 |
| Lossif | heck my grandfather has a tv with a "zoom" button... | 20:14 |
| Lossif | talk about useless | 20:14 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well, i must admit that the zoom feature isn't entirelly useless | 20:15 |
| laga | there are some uses for that, but this channel is supposed to be family-friendly | 20:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | for instance, I have direct tv and have to use a pvr150 to get my channels | 20:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | some programs are broadcast in 16:9, although when they come in they are 4:3 (black bars on the top and bottom) | 20:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so zooming that fixes the issue for my widescreen tv's | 20:16 |
| Lossif | well I don't mean zoom to full or widescreen | 20:16 |
| Lossif | he has a 2:3 format tv | 20:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you mean the zoom way in feature | 20:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like zoom x10 | 20:17 |
| Lossif | yep | 20:17 |
| Lossif | it just zooms in | 20:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's so you can get closeups of nipples in porn | 20:17 |
| laga | "those are some delicious 60 pixels" | 20:17 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thats exactly what it is for, i'm 95% sure of it | 20:18 |
| Lossif | well it just makes an already fuzzy picture | 20:18 |
| Lossif | even fuzzier | 20:18 |
| tgm4883_laptop | there are a couple features of the dvd spec specifically for the porn industry | 20:18 |
| Lossif | if I can get regular ubuntu 7.10 to work | 20:34 |
| Lossif | how hard is it to get mythtv to work as a front/backend? | 20:34 |
| Lossif | or would you recomend just going with alpha 8.04? | 20:35 |
| blkorpheus | Lossif, what is your particular question, I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish | 20:39 |
| Lossif | I am having video issues that seem to be only popping with the mythbuntu 7.04 | 20:40 |
| blkorpheus | oh | 20:40 |
| Lossif | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590132.html | 20:40 |
| blkorpheus | well do you want a dedicated frontend or a complete machine with mythtv? | 20:40 |
| blkorpheus | I'd upgraded to 7.10 | 20:41 |
| blkorpheus | I'd upgrad to 7.10 | 20:41 |
| blkorpheus | I'd upgrade to 7.10 | 20:41 |
| Lossif | alls I care about is mythtv | 20:41 |
| Lossif | don't care to much about having a fully running operating system | 20:41 |
| blkorpheus | ok, well just upgrade your mythbuntu box to 7.10 | 20:42 |
| blkorpheus | but there may be more to your issue than just the version | 20:42 |
| blkorpheus | did it ever work correctly? | 20:42 |
| Lossif | yes it did | 20:42 |
| Lossif | then I just put in a new graphics card... | 20:43 |
| Lossif | and the card works fine | 20:43 |
| Lossif | tested it in a windows box | 20:43 |
| blkorpheus | there is your "problem" there | 20:45 |
| blkorpheus | whocares what it does in windows? | 20:45 |
| blkorpheus | you have to make sure in works in Linux | 20:45 |
| Lossif | well... it is an old 6200 nvidia card | 20:47 |
| Lossif | asus | 20:47 |
| blkorpheus | should work fine | 20:49 |
| blkorpheus | if you can | 20:49 |
| blkorpheus | install the driver from nvidias site | 20:49 |
| blkorpheus | I have a 6200 | 20:50 |
| blkorpheus | works better withthe drivers from Nvidia | 20:50 |
| blkorpheus | I have not used ubuntu's packaged drivers since they started with the restricted manager stuff | 20:50 |
| Lossif | how do you do that automitcally with a livecd? | 20:52 |
| Lossif | I can't even get the live cd to get past the "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" | 20:53 |
| Lossif | it goes to the menu | 20:53 |
| Lossif | brings up the mythbuntu load screen | 20:54 |

| ravennium | hmm... | 21:13 |
| ravennium | ok I typed sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and still the fucker says New File | 21:14 |

| rhpot1991_laptop | superm1: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=14228 | 21:34 |
| lime4x4 | any ideas on how to fix all these unknown devices?? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3844/ | 21:35 |
| superm1 | rhpot1991_laptop, that's functional | 21:35 |
| superm1 | do you use ppope? | 21:35 |
| superm1 | pppoe even | 21:35 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | nope :( | 21:36 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | but its a start | 21:36 |
| superm1 | well you can add it to boot | 21:36 |
| superm1 | though in an init script | 21:36 |
| superm1 | which should be enough for most cases | 21:37 |
| superm1 | eg power outage | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | ya | 21:37 |
| superm1 | very rare you lose your ip while router is on | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | mine has been the same for 3+ months now | 21:37 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | to the point where I can't get rid of it when I want to | 21:37 |
| superm1 | haha | 21:37 |
| superm1 | why would you want to change it?' | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | there are some download services that let you download once per x time, used to be able to trick them by dropping my IP | 21:38 |
| superm1 | oh well that and proxies :) | 21:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | last I tried most proxies didn't work too well | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | so I just gave up | 21:39 |
| ravennium | laga... after removing few false edid lines I got it working. Need to dig more about those edid's... fking yamaha... and for rhpot1991_laptop thanks for reminding me that x != X... fuck that I feel stupid :D | 21:39 |
| superm1 | hey wasn't someone in here looking to set up at&t u-verse? | 21:39 |
| superm1 | with myth | 21:39 |
| superm1 | anyone remember who that was | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I didn't see anyone asking that | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | check the logs? | 21:39 |
| superm1 | yeah i'll have to | 21:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | anyone have any idea how fios runs with mythtv? | 21:40 |
| superm1 | they're offering an awesome promotion by me right now, so.... | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I've seen reports of 1-100 available without a STB | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | contemplating switching when I move | 21:40 |
| superm1 | TazgoxX was | 21:40 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | haven't seen him in forever | 21:40 |
| superm1 | this was two days ago | 21:41 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | heh, I'm just blind or on at the wrong time | 21:41 |
| superm1 | well i wonder if AT&T is offering fibre too though | 21:41 |
| superm1 | if so i'll ditch this time warner just for that | 21:41 |
| superm1 | nope looks like just DSL | 21:42 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I wonder when verizon plans on expanding their symetrical fios | 21:43 |
| MythbuntuGuest26 | I have successfully installed front/backend on one machine. I have mapped to a FreeNAS server. I can view video and music files from the NAS. However the DVD player function only plays the warning statement of dvd's and shuts down. Any Idea? | 21:44 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest26, install the regionset util | 21:45 |
| superm1 | and set your region | 21:45 |
| superm1 | and then install libdvdcss2 | 21:45 |
| MythbuntuGuest26 | thanks | 21:45 |
| lime4x4 | how can i get a bigger screen for vnc? | 21:46 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | and then hope its not an sony ARccOS dvd | 21:47 |
| MythbuntuGuest26 | How does a person become a member of this chat forum and not a Mythguest? | 21:47 |
| superm1 | MythbuntuGuest26, you can change your nickname from the webclient, or use another client | 21:48 |
| superm1 | like x-chat | 21:48 |
| superm1 | or pidgin | 21:48 |
| superm1 | or giam | 21:48 |
| superm1 | *gaim | 21:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest26 | thanks | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | gaim no longer exists | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | is pidgin | 21:48 |
| superm1 | well older ubuntu releases | 21:48 |
| superm1 | use gaim | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | true | 21:48 |
| superm1 | so in case on that | 21:48 |
| MythbuntuGuest26 | what about windows based machines | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | go get pidgin | 21:48 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | or mirc or something the like | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | mirc is only free for 30 days or something though, yuck | 21:49 |
| superm1 | yuck mirc | 21:49 |
| superm1 | use pidgin instead | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | pidgin irc isn't half bad | 21:49 |
| superm1 | or xchat was ported to windows | 21:49 |
| superm1 | there is a pay version and a free version | 21:49 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | I like screen + bitchx, but not for multiple rooms | 21:49 |
| superm1 | http://www.silverex.org/news/ | 21:49 |
| Lossif | chatzilla rocks | 21:50 |
| Lossif | you can even use it as a tab in firefox now | 21:50 |
| * superm1 thinks these should all be added to the support page | 21:51 | |
| rhpot1991_laptop | prob a good idea | 21:51 |
| superm1 | http://mythbuntu.org/support | 21:56 |
| superm1 | there we go | 21:56 |
| superm1 | even with apt:// links and everything | 21:56 |
| lime4x4 | so i'm i correct in assuming that if mythbuntu 7.10 can't install the right drivers gusty 7.10 won't either? | 22:19 |
| superm1 | ya | 22:23 |
| lime4x4 | so how would i go about installing and finding nvidia drivers? | 22:45 |
| superm1 | newer card? | 22:48 |
| superm1 | you have two options... | 22:48 |
| superm1 | envy | 22:48 |
| superm1 | or installing the .run | 22:48 |
| superm1 | that nvidia ships | 22:48 |
| lime4x4 | there are now .run files on the cd | 22:50 |
| lime4x4 | it's an nforce 630i/geforce 7150 htpc motherbaord | 22:50 |
| lime4x4 | i will try envy and c what happens | 22:51 |
| rinaldi_ | hi, is there an option to shut down the backend system with a frontend from another computer? | 23:11 |
| rinaldi_ | if so, how would i do it? | 23:13 |
| tgm4883 | err, rinaldi_ you could do it from the command line | 23:14 |
| rinaldi_ | tgm4883: how would i go about doing that? | 23:14 |
| rinaldi_ | bit of a noob with this | 23:14 |
| tgm4883 | ssh *backend ip address* | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | then just | 23:15 |
| tgm4883 | sudo shutdown -h now | 23:15 |
| rinaldi_ | ;-) | 23:15 |
| rinaldi_ | tgm4883: thanks | 23:16 |
| tgm4883 | np | 23:16 |
| blkorpheus | rhpot1991_laptop, because I don't use the packaged nvidia drivers is no tto imply some defect in the ubuntu version. | 23:20 |
| Lossif | does the latest version of mythbuntu require to dload the latest dvd codecs to play a dvd? | 23:28 |
| tgm4883 | Lossif, no | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | although | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | the question you probably meant to ask was | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | does mythbuntu require anything extra to play encrypted dvds | 23:40 |
| tgm4883 | in which case the answer is yes | 23:40 |
| Lossif | and where might I find that "something extra"...? | 23:52 |
