[00:23] <JEDIDIAH__> You can use HDMI for video (but not sound) just fine without using the beta/vdpau drivers.
[06:17] <coolego1> Hello, I've been working on installing Mythbuntu 8.10 on an old box I have laying around with an ATI HDTV wonder card.  I am following the instructions from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ATI_HDTV_Wonder but I am hung up on getting it to lock onto HD channels.  I have not tried to work with analog TV, only digital.  I don't know how to manually configure the kernel, although there are diagrams on the site...
[07:22] <zeltak> hi anyone awake :) ?
[08:56] <Dono_> I allowed some updates that the update reminder thingy wanted to install, not the USB tuner doesn't work - dmesg seems to indicate a crash or something. How can I see what those couple things I installed were to uninstall them?
[08:56] <Dono_> (d'oh)
[09:46] <Dono_> I see what updates were installed from the dpkg log but don't know how to downgrade the packages...
[09:51] <Dono_> Okay, so I know how to downgrade using aptitude, so I might get this fixed
[09:56] <Dono_> Actually, I can't downgrade if aptitude doesn't know where to find the other versions...
[09:56] <Dono_> (other=older)
[10:07] <Dono_> Hmmm. Very strange, but I've corrected the problem or it has corrected itself somehow. Carry on :)
[14:42] <daveo78> Guys I know this is a ubuntu channel but anyone here use a macmini as a frontend using OSX
[14:42] <JEDIDIAH__> nope. My Macs run Ubuntu
[14:42] <daveo78> ok
[14:43] <daveo78> I'm getting tearing and lockups when running mythfrontend on my mini and was wondering what video settings people are using
[14:43] <daveo78> dont know if there the same under ubuntu or not
[14:43] <JEDIDIAH__> tearing and lockups are probably different issues.
[14:44] <JEDIDIAH__> check the mailing list archive for the tearing.
[14:44] <daveo78> like when I use my HDhomerun it just cant handle the video and then oddly the audio hardware locksup and I have to restart to get my sound back
[14:45] <daveo78> odd isnt it
[17:02] <mike_hurley> anybody know about the default samba settings in mythbuntu 8.10 and mythdora 10.21?  samba worked fine under mythbuntu and for the life of me i cannot access my machine under samba in mythdora (even with mythbuntu's smb.conf).
[17:02] <mike_hurley> i assume it's something like prelinked user accounts or groups
[17:06] <coolego1> Hello, I've been working on installing Mythbuntu 8.10 on an old box I have laying around with an ATI HDTV wonder card.

[17:29] <JEDIDIAH__> the newer versions of myth have playback settings that might not make sense for your hardware. After I upgraded to 0.21 I had to tweak my playback profiles to get my performance and responsiveness back.
[17:30] <JEDIDIAH__> a mini should definitely be able to handle 1080i MPEG2.
[17:31] <JEDIDIAH__> both of my panels run at 1080, so that might make a difference in my case.
[17:32] <coolego1> I can't lock into channels - when I scan I get nothing
[17:53] <JEDIDIAH__> ...depending on the signal quality you won't be able to lock onto anything.
[18:09] <coolego1> I got locked, but now the interlacing makes the video look horrible
