| c3rb3rus5 | when is 8.04 slated to be released? | 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| c3rb3rus5 | nm.. 21 days it seems | 01:23 |
| ahave_ | does anyone here use a homer run hdtv box? | 01:31 |
| ahave_ | home* | 01:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | at the risk of sounding like i know nothing at all: if i install the 8.04 beta now, will i be able to update to the full version when that is released w/o reinstalling? | 01:31 |
| foxxbuntu | ahave_ yes | 01:31 |
| foxxbuntu | c3rb3rus5, yes | 01:32 |
| c3rb3rus5 | sweet | 01:32 |
| ahave_ | foxxbuntu, was it difficult to configure with mythtv? do you know of a link to set the system up? | 01:32 |
| foxxbuntu | ahave_ its easier than setting up most tuners | 01:33 |
| ahave_ | oh? | 01:33 |
| ahave_ | i read somewhere that i should upgrade it first | 01:34 |
| foxxbuntu | yep, Mythbuntu has the config util enabled by default so in mythtv-setup you can just select HDHR and create a capture device for each tuner on the HDHR, then you can scan for channels with it | 01:34 |
| foxxbuntu | ahave_, if you havent I would suggest it just for stability | 01:34 |
| foxxbuntu | heres how to upgrade it | 01:35 |
| foxxbuntu | cd /usr/src | 01:36 |
| foxxbuntu | wget http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_firmware_20080305.bin | 01:36 |
| foxxbuntu | hdhomerun_config discover | 01:37 |
| foxxbuntu | that will give you the ID of your HDHR | 01:37 |
| foxxbuntu | then: | 01:37 |
| foxxbuntu | hdhomerun_config <id> upgrade ./hdhomerun_firmware_20080305.bin | 01:37 |
| foxxbuntu | thats all there is to it ahave_ | 01:38 |
| ahave_ | ok | 01:39 |
| === ahave_ is now known as ahave | ||
| ahave | hmm | 01:42 |
| ahave | if i have 2 linksys routers chained together, would i have to do anything special to get the second router to see the internet? | 01:43 |
| ahave | static IPs? | 01:43 |
| foxxbuntu | what? | 01:43 |
| ahave | i have 2 routers on my network, i had to add an extra one to have enouth ethernet ports | 01:44 |
| foxxbuntu | I assume your just trying to use the switch on the seoncd? | 01:44 |
| ahave | yes | 01:44 |
| ahave | do i need to set it to 'switch only' mode? | 01:44 |
| foxxbuntu | you need to turn off NAT | 01:44 |
| c3rb3rus5 | yea | 01:44 |
| foxxbuntu | er, switch only is what you need | 01:44 |
| ahave | well, is that considered router? | 01:45 |
| ahave | instead of gateway? | 01:45 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the main ubuntu channel is like a flood of people | 01:45 |
| foxxbuntu | ahave, no, just a switch | 01:45 |
| ahave | foxxbuntu, ok. i am just having trouble finding that option in the linksys admin menu | 01:47 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ahave: what model | 01:47 |
| ahave | wrt54g | 01:48 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ahave: you should just be able to disable the dhcp server and that will put it into switch mode.... i might be mistaken | 01:48 |
| ahave | so instead of dhcp i should select what? | 01:49 |
| ahave | static IP? | 01:49 |
| c3rb3rus5 | there is an option on the main page to disable the dhcp server on one.... i know i set this up before, i'm trying to refresh my memory | 01:50 |
| ahave | yes. i have disabled the dhcp server. but do i need to change the 'internet connection type' to something else other that DHCP? | 01:52 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ahave: i honestly don't remember | 01:55 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ahave: i would say yes.... is it working as it should now? | 01:55 |
| ahave | nope | 01:56 |
| c3rb3rus5 | hrm | 01:56 |
| ahave | i feel like i need to set the IP to something different | 01:56 |
| ahave | like 192.168.2.1 | 01:56 |
| ahave | so that it will be its own network | 01:57 |
| c3rb3rus5 | how do you have the routers connected right now | 01:58 |
| ahave | internet<->cablemodem<->wrt54G#1<->wrt54g#2(into 'internet port') | 02:00 |
| c3rb3rus5 | so so #1's WAN port is plugged into the modem, #2's WAN port is plugged into the ethernet ports of #1? | 02:01 |
| ahave | yes | 02:01 |
| c3rb3rus5 | did you try setting it (#2) to a router instead of a gateway under advanced routing? | 02:03 |
| ahave | not with DHCP disabled | 02:06 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the 2 routers are not set to the same IP address are they? | 02:07 |
| ahave | now i have made a much of things.. i chanaged the IP of the router and lost connection to it. so i did a hard restart and now it is acting very odd | 02:07 |
| c3rb3rus5 | hows it acting odd? | 02:08 |
| ahave | as in i can not obtain an IP from it | 02:08 |
| c3rb3rus5 | are you behine router 1 or 2? | 02:09 |
| ahave | i am using a laptop to connect to the internet right now through router 1 | 02:10 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the easiest way to get this to work is to disable the dhcp server on #2, and plug one of #2's ethernet ports into one of #1's eethernet ports | 02:10 |
| ahave | my mythtv box is under 2 | 02:10 |
| c3rb3rus5 | that should make use of the switch functionality of #2 | 02:10 |
| ahave | oh | 02:10 |
| ahave | i have never heard of that | 02:10 |
| ahave | so do not plug in the ethernet of router1 into 'internet' of router2? | 02:11 |
| ahave | but instead plug the wire into one of the 4 output ports? | 02:11 |
| ahave | WOW. that worked | 02:13 |
| ahave | i have never heard of that before | 02:13 |
| ahave | sweet | 02:13 |
| ahave | thank you very much | 02:14 |
| c3rb3rus5 | ahave: no prob | 02:18 |
| c3rb3rus5 | the other way would be to use advanced routing settings with the way you had it set up.. i'm honestly not too sure how to set them up in practice | 02:19 |
| foxxbuntu | c3rb3rus5, the issue is with the firmware linksys provides you can't turn off NAT properly so you end up double natting, this causes a packaet failure between the devices | 02:25 |
| c3rb3rus5 | yea? | 02:30 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i remember setting it up once... | 02:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | on second thought i might have been using a different model they made | 02:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | and that same model failing shortly after | 02:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | :-/ | 02:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | it was older | 02:31 |
| c3rb3rus5 | i have been meaning to put openwrt on my wrt54g for a while now, never got around to it | 02:32 |
| c3rb3rus5 | anyone here use virtualboxat all? | 02:34 |
| ahave | so now that i have the backend setup for HDhomerun, how can i select HD channels when watching liveTV? | 02:43 |
| foxxbuntu | ahave, did you scan for, and add the HD channels? | 02:44 |
| ahave | i was not able to find the HD tuner on the scan from source list | 02:44 |
| ahave | hmm, wait. i am scanning on the tunner now | 02:47 |

| guardoftheguards | Hey. Having problems setting up a Hauppauge PVR-350's video out. | 05:17 |
| guardoftheguards | I checked out this tutorial (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out), but it's not working for me still. | 05:17 |
| guardoftheguards | I'm able to cat video to the device, but X won't start into it, seemingly ignoring my xorg.conf, and videos launched from the myth frontend result in initialization errors. | 05:18 |
| guardoftheguards | Anyone have that problem? | 05:21 |
| xukun | hi all. when I watch dvd with mythbuntu then I get two vertical lines and the movie is not full screen. If I play the same movie with player or vlc then its fullscreen | 08:58 |
| xukun | is there some kind of settings that I need to change in mythubuntu? | 09:00 |
| |DuReX| | hello, I got a new tv card, Hauppauge HVR-1300, seems like its getting seen perfectly in ubuntu dmesg output :http://pastebin.com/m61491e91 but I'm getting errors and can't use it :( | 09:17 |

| |DuReX| | nboody awake ? :( | 12:48 |
| directhex|work | the hvr1300 is highly experiemntal | 12:56 |
| directhex|work | you probably want linuxtv hg | 12:56 |
| |DuReX| | doesn't work there neither :( | 12:57 |
| |DuReX| | there are tons of websites where people say it works perfectly | 13:00 |
| |DuReX| | but I can't get it working | 13:00 |
| |DuReX| | it gets seen perfectly etc | 13:00 |
| |DuReX| | but just error :( | 13:00 |
| |DuReX| | http://pastebin.com/m61491e91 | 13:00 |
| |DuReX| | the dmesg | 13:00 |
| directhex|work | you're trying to use the mpeg encoder? | 13:02 |
| directhex|work | or the digital part? | 13:02 |
| |DuReX| | trying to get DVB-T working | 13:03 |
| |DuReX| | it gives those messages @ boot | 13:04 |
| |DuReX| | when I didn't even try to access the card | 13:04 |
| directhex|work | those messages look related to the mpeg encoder | 13:05 |
| directhex|work | cx88 is the digital-related chip | 13:05 |
| TelnetManta | do you guys support mythbuntu or ubuntu with myth installed from the repos? | 13:08 |
| directhex|work | TelnetManta, same difference | 13:08 |
| TelnetManta | about to build a new backend and wondered which I should install | 13:08 |
| TelnetManta | isnt mythbuntu an iso all in itself? myth already installed I mean. | 13:09 |
| directhex|work | yes | 13:09 |
| TelnetManta | ah, there we go, I found it :) | 13:09 |
| directhex|work | but all the packages in mythbuntu are in ubuntu's repositories | 13:10 |
| TelnetManta | I need to get the source code to apply some patches. guess I need to learn how to do that. I've always installed myth from source. | 13:10 |
| dergringo | hi | 14:15 |
| dergringo | Is this a goob board for a HTPC? http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=550 | 14:15 |
| dergringo | what do you think | 14:15 |
| directhex|work | via? the default answer is no | 14:16 |
| directhex|work | i shall now look at the url. i may laugh at you | 14:16 |
| directhex|work | epia. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA | 14:16 |
| dergringo | ? | 14:16 |
| directhex|work | c7 is bullshit & chips. it can't do htpc in standard def, let alone high def | 14:17 |
| |DuReX| | i installed latest linuxtv hg, but i'm getting: http://pastebin.com/m10375cf4 | 14:17 |
| |DuReX| | any id's ? | 14:17 |
| dergringo | directhex|work: So what mini ITX boards do you recommend? | 14:17 |
| directhex|work | give http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=11976 a read to see how screaming fast epia is | 14:18 |
| directhex|work | dergringo, a mac mini's generally the best of breed for small form factor | 14:18 |
| directhex|work | |DuReX|, your module's crashed. talk to the linuxtv people about it | 14:19 |
| dergringo | directhex|work: It may be the best in some cases. But I need at least 3 hotswappable 3.5 HD slots. So I think this one would fit my benefits: http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=42 | 14:21 |
| dergringo | Now I am looking for a board | 14:21 |
| dergringo | The one you linked is a pico-ITX board. And it is something really different that I am talking about | 14:22 |
| directhex|work | dergringo, my professional opinion, backed with experience, is that epia *cannot cope* with modern demands. 1ghz c7 is 1ghz c7 - still a million miles from what media needs | 14:22 |
| directhex|work | talk to any former epia owner in here, e.g. justinh, and you'll hear the same thing | 14:23 |
| directhex|work | what's a better choice? *anything else* | 14:23 |
| directhex|work | any board that isn't powered by an IDT WInChip is a reasonable choice | 14:23 |
| directhex|work | the intel D201GLY2, for example, with its screaming fast 1.2ghz celeron, will obliterate any hardware via has to offer, several times over | 14:24 |
| directhex|work | jetway, commell, anhd a few others will do "real" cpus on mini-itx form factor (if you want to pay for them) | 14:25 |
| directhex|work | i think aopen do too. i'd need to check | 14:25 |
| dergringo | Cool. Thanks. I tought VIA does a good job. Well I'll have a look at the others too. | 14:26 |
| directhex|work | via do a terrible job | 14:26 |
| directhex|work | look at it this way - a c7 running at 1ghz is 3x slower than an athlon64 running at 1ghz | 14:27 |
| dergringo | I just do not want to spend a lot of money, since I need raid disks and so. Else it's getting too expensive | 14:27 |
| directhex|work | if you want a NAS box, buy an off-the-shelf NAS box. if you want a media box, save up more money. a penny spent on epia is wasted money | 14:28 |
| directhex|work | aopen's range seems comprehensive - socket m, socket p, socket am2 | 14:29 |
| dergringo | I don't want a off-the-shelf NAS. I need customized encryption using a USB token. I want full control over the system. | 14:30 |
| dergringo | is it possible to install linux on a aopen system? | 14:32 |
| directhex|work | why wouldn't it be? | 14:33 |
| dergringo | The IR / Remote Control of AOpen accessory is not supported under Windows XP and Windows XP MCE. | 14:33 |
| dergringo | so is it supported on linux? | 14:33 |
| directhex|work | which board is that? | 14:34 |
| dergringo | This is a full featured system: http://minipc.aopen.com/Global/spec.htm | 14:34 |
| directhex|work | the mac-mini-sized-and-shaped-but-slower-and-more-expensive mini aopen pc? | 14:35 |
| dergringo | lol | 14:36 |
| dergringo | exactly | 14:36 |
| directhex|work | supported in lirc cvs | 14:36 |
| Kevin` | that's probably better then my current mythtv system, but it's also brand new and mine is years old =p | 14:37 |
| dergringo | So you recomment these boards? http://www.aopen.de/Products.aspx?id=52 | 14:38 |
| directhex|work | recommend is such a strong word. those are 2 possibilities worth considering, sure. like i said, anything not winchip-powered is worth a look | 14:39 |
| directhex|work | and a few people in here use aopen small form factor boards with intel cpus | 14:39 |
| dergringo | Serial ATA II Connector x 2 :( | 14:40 |
| dergringo | all of them | 14:40 |
| Kevin` | can those cases even fit more then 2 drives? | 14:41 |
| dergringo | Kevin`: http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=42 Can fit 6 | 14:43 |
| dergringo | mhhh maybe I should just stick in a | 15:04 |
| dergringo | controller | 15:04 |
