| poningru | anyone around? | 15:19 |
|---|---|---|
| poningru | I had a quick question | 15:19 |
| poningru | I wanted to package up a module | 15:19 |
| poningru | but the module is included in lrm by default | 15:19 |
| poningru | the only difference is I want to update the module as it includes a driver sorely needed for a particular community | 15:20 |
| poningru | aspire one community needs the latest madwifi | 15:20 |
| poningru | so what should I do? package up the atheros seperately? | 15:20 |
| tseliot | poningru: you can use DKMS for the package | 15:20 |
| poningru | or update lrm? | 15:20 |
| poningru | oh hmm | 15:21 |
| poningru | looking into it more | 15:21 |
| tseliot | poningru: with DKMS there would be no conflict with the version in the lrm | 15:22 |
| poningru | ah awesome | 15:22 |
| poningru | that is exactly what I am looking for | 15:22 |
| tseliot | and you would only have to keep the linux-headers installed (and the compiler) so that the kernel module is rebuilt every time the kernel is updated | 15:23 |
| poningru | any official ubuntu packaging guides for dkms? | 15:23 |
| poningru | that is exactly what I was looking for | 15:23 |
| * tseliot looks for an easy example | 15:24 | |
| tseliot | maybe the dvb driver is easy enough: https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive | 15:26 |
| tseliot | and of course: sudo apt-get install dkms | 15:26 |
| tseliot | man dkms | 15:26 |
| poningru | ah hmm | 15:27 |
| poningru | danke | 15:27 |
| poningru | hmm quick question | 15:32 |
| poningru | tseliot, does the dkms require it to be installed in the to be installed computer? | 15:33 |
| poningru | oh nvm | 15:33 |
| poningru | this seems a little wrong | 15:34 |
| poningru | too easy | 15:34 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | latest email from Foxconn, more motherboard models affected, BIOS patch is top priority | 15:59 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | so far we're up to Foxconn, ASUS, MSI, and Intel | 15:59 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | especially G31, G33, G35, and P33 and P35 based boards | 15:59 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | all have AMI BIOS | 15:59 |

| stgraber | BenC: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246222 <-- Any idea why dsdt-in-initrd doesn't work ? | 16:05 |
| BenC | stgraber: because the patch wasn't there until -4, IIRC | 16:07 |
| BenC | stgraber: wait, just got down to the end of the bug report... | 16:08 |
| BenC | stgraber: I'll check on it later today | 16:08 |
| stgraber | cool, thanks | 16:09 |
| poningru | question any reason why madwifi drivers are in /lib/kernel_vers/madwifi instead of /lib/kernel_vers/kernel/drivers/net/wireless ? | 19:29 |
| poningru | rather what was the reasoning behind that? | 19:29 |
| tormod | rtg, hi I think the patch for bug #245026 is now ready for you. | 19:44 |
| tormod | rtg, and thanks for committing that Hauppauge WinTV thing for Hardy! | 19:46 |
| mkrufky | what Hauppauge WinTV thing?!? | 19:47 |
| mkrufky | tormod: ^ | 19:47 |
| tormod | mkrufky: support for the cheapo Nova-T CE / SE cards, bug #238164 | 19:48 |
| mkrufky | ah, ok... thats already in 2.6.26, i believe, so no worries | 19:49 |
| mkrufky | oh! actually... i heard complaints about that one not being supported in some other distros (asus eee) | 19:50 |
| mkrufky | tormod: sorry for being nosey -- i work for Hauppauge now, and i just wanted to make sure it wasnt a patch missing from upstream ... thanks :-) | 19:51 |
| tormod | mkrufky: interesting :) it's in 2.6.26 since March I think | 19:51 |
| mkrufky | January | 19:52 |
| tormod | mkrufky: and if I had knew the needed patch was so small, I would have pushed for it earlier... | 19:53 |
| tormod | s/had // | 19:53 |
| mkrufky | :-) no worries... if i realized it was missing from 2.6.24 i would have pushed it to stable | 19:54 |
| mkrufky | but now its too late | 19:54 |
| mkrufky | no problem | 19:54 |
| tormod | mkrufky: since you for them, I must say the card works very nicely. and it's cheap. | 19:56 |
| tormod | *you work for them | 19:56 |
| mkrufky | ya | 19:56 |
| mkrufky | i wasnt involved in that one... but i appreciate the positive feedback :-D | 19:56 |
| tormod | mkrufky: I guess you are into v4l-dvb ? | 19:57 |
| mkrufky | yup | 19:58 |
| mkrufky | thats where Hauppauge found me :-D | 19:58 |
| tormod | do you know why the card/driver doesn't work in Norway? they use another encoding there h264(?) and I wonder if just a little patch is needed? | 19:58 |
| mkrufky | brb | 20:01 |
| tormod | mkrufky: http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-October/020851.html | 20:02 |
| mkrufky | tormod: that is not related to the product / driver | 20:03 |
| mkrufky | tormod: if the user has an app that can decode h264, then said user will not have a problem with the stick | 20:03 |
| tormod | it's in v4l general? | 20:03 |
| mkrufky | this has nothing to do with v4l | 20:03 |
| mkrufky | DVB is a glorified network adapter | 20:04 |
| mkrufky | a DVB device receives a transport stream and provides it to userspace | 20:04 |
| tormod | only the viewer? I tried "scan" but it would not list it. | 20:04 |
| mkrufky | userspace decodes that stream and plays it | 20:04 |
| tormod | I tried me-tv. Is it in me-tv or gstreamer or ?? | 20:05 |
| tormod | what is there between v4l and "scan"? | 20:09 |
| mkrufky | me-tv uses xinelib | 20:16 |
| mkrufky | v4l is video4linux, a api and kernel subsystem that deals with analog video, and has absolutely nothing to do with digital television | 20:17 |
| mkrufky | (me-tv uses xinelib, *not* gstreamer) | 20:17 |
| poningru | tormod, try dumping the stream and then try out various decoding stuff using mplayer or vlc | 20:22 |

| tormod | mkrufky: I guess I meant v4l-dvb and not v4l... | 20:35 |
| tormod | poningru: can not, I am not in Norway... | 20:37 |
| mkrufky | tormod: im sorry... are you asking me something? | 20:38 |
| tormod | mkrufky: my question is, what has to be fixed? xinelib? | 20:40 |
| mkrufky | tormod: what is the problem? | 20:41 |
| mkrufky | h264? | 20:41 |
| mkrufky | tormod: try it in mplayer, it might work there | 20:41 |
| mkrufky | oh... h264 sucks in linux | 20:41 |
| mkrufky | you need an extremely powerful system if you want a chance of smooth playback | 20:41 |
| mkrufky | ...or a graphics chipset that has hardware decoding support available in linux | 20:42 |
| mkrufky | h264 hardware decoding support | 20:42 |
| mkrufky | ... when you find that graphics chipset, please let me know -- i'll buy one for myself | 20:42 |
| tormod | sounds like it's getting a lot more expensive than just buying that dvb-t dongle :) | 20:43 |
| mkrufky | if you record them on your PC, you can play them back on a PS3 | 20:44 |
| mkrufky | not much else i can say | 20:44 |
| mkrufky | i live in ATSC-land | 20:44 |
| tormod | is h264 so more resource-hungry, or it just that the linux support is not worked on? | 20:47 |
| poningru | tormod, both | 20:49 |
| poningru | search for drm/dri implementations under X | 20:50 |
| mkrufky | nah, there is linux support available | 20:50 |
| poningru | mkrufky, there is? | 20:50 |
| mkrufky | i dont think the distros have taken the latest ffmpeg stuff yet | 20:50 |
| poningru | hardware support? | 20:50 |
| mkrufky | hardware, nah | 20:50 |
| mkrufky | i know Nvidia has h264 decode support in the 8600 and later models | 20:51 |
| mkrufky | but no support in the drivers, afaik | 20:51 |
| poningru | iirc intel also has it but no support in the drivers | 20:51 |
| poningru | 965 and up | 20:51 |
| poningru | but what I cant wait for is dirac support in hardware | 20:51 |
| poningru | that is going to be awesome | 20:51 |
| tormod | dvb-t works nice with my old laptop here in Switzerland (mp4 I guess), I just feel sorry for those in Norway (and other h264 places) | 20:53 |
