[06:55] radeon X800gt [06:56] that should work with either the radeon or fglrx package [06:59] i suggest fglrx however [13:35] hi now i've stuff up my hdd. [13:42] foxbuntu, once i've booted live. and i've installed. on reboot it doesn't let me log into a usable GUI. ive downloaded ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run. which i couldnt run in live mode. [14:00] Good Morning! [14:07] eve [14:24] morning [15:13] can anyone help with installing mythbuntu? [16:05] !ask | tripppy [16:05] tripppy: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question. Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it. IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer. [16:07] when i run mythtv-setup. i geet a blank screen with a "banner" in the middle. its all black. in the terminal its saying "bad render" and just keeps saying that. [16:08] i get the same with mythtvfrontend [16:08] and .real [16:12] tripppy: ati graphics? [21:38] everytime i try to install emifreq-applet it errors status 2 [21:55] I'm in the US getting HD OTA. I've been getting it without issue for a year. This last month I've had to rescan like three times. Anyone else seeing this? [22:08] gizmobay: Didn't all the stations switch over to HD OTA permenantly... like... last few weeks? could be some singal interference on your annt that wasn't there before. [22:08] is there a better way to control the mythbuntu box from windows then by VNC? [22:10] I think the full switch was just the other Friday. [22:13] Must be bad signal. Doing a /usr/bin/scan and I'm seeing some of the channels [23:35] can someone help? im trying to start Live TV but it's taking me back to the menu without showing anything. here are the logs: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/f502399a6
