MythbuntuGuest85i'm trying to upgrade to nvidia177 , but i'm not sure how to do that, should i just do a complete wipe and reinstall and not use the nvidia drivers?04:00
OpenMediaSupportMythbuntuGuest85: How did you try to switch to the nvidia drivers?04:09
MythbuntuGuest85there was a notification on the top right saying activate nvidia drivers?04:09
MythbuntuGuest85and i did04:09
OpenMediaSupportThat shouldn't have affected your sound though04:10

foxbuntuOpenMediaSupport, hows business?04:29
OpenMediaSupportfoxbuntu: waiting on stable freeview|HD support04:31
foxbuntuah04:31
OpenMediaSupportFinally have it all working, but requires an Athlon X2 6000+ or greater for playback04:31
OpenMediaSupportwhich is too hot for our cases.04:31
foxbuntumyself I have spent tons of $$ and time on HDMI and Hybrid tuners04:31
OpenMediaSupportHence I need better H.264 support for dual core or we are sunk.04:31
OpenMediaSupportYeah I'd love to have HVR 2200 support which would make things easier as well04:32
foxbuntuI had worries about heat but have had no issues in testing even a Q6600 and Phenom 985004:32
OpenMediaSupportX26000 is a 89W part which and gets damn hot on 1080i H264 broadcasts04:33

ThalassHey folks.06:49
ThalassI had a fresh install of Intrepid (regular ubuntu) on my laptop, with everything working. Thismorning I installed the mythbuntu packages and now the wifi doesn't work. Both mythbuntu and ubuntu versions were 8.10, so I don't get why the wifi would die like that06:50
ThalassCome to think of it, I'd better check it was the 8.10 mythbuntu packages... hah06:51
ThalassNever mind... I had the external wifi switch set to off (it's a momentary one, the colour of the LED tells you the status). I'm a freaking moron.08:13
