tgm4883<Mysterious1> stupid mythbuntu angers me02:17

CyberKnetsuperm1: I found the problem - it was recording at 480x480 and that apparently is a semi-known-problem for pvr-500 in linux14:31
CyberKnetsuperm1: changed the resolution to 720x480 and it records just fine.14:31
rhpot1991CyberKnet: plus now everything will look better14:46
CyberKnetrhpot1991: I did not increase the bitrate14:53
rhpot1991CyberKnet: no, but your are recording at a better resolution14:53
CyberKnetpushing almost twice the number of pixels per second into the same number of bits per second...14:53
ActiVisionDoes Mythbuntu support sound over DVI to HDMI with a radeon 3xxx?15:04
superm1sound over DVI isn't possible I thought15:04
superm1none of those pins are allocated for sound15:05
ActiVisionI know15:05
ActiVisionBut ATI can do magic15:05
rhpot1991superm1: some of the ati cards have sound chips on them15:05
rhpot1991then it just pushes sound out of a modified dvi port that you put a hdmi converter on15:06
superm1then why didn't they just add an HDMI port; avoid all this confusion :)15:06
rhpot1991nvidia does the same thing, but you gotta wire it up to your mobo15:06
ActiVisionThey are now15:06
ActiVisionBoth suck anyways15:06
superm1ActiVision, well so if it's gonna work, then you'll have one of two options:15:07
ActiVisionBut is it possible with ATI's drivers?15:07
superm11) check /proc/asound/cards15:07
superm1and see if there are multiple cards listed15:07
superm1one of them may represent your ATI card15:07
rhpot1991ActiVision: that I'm not sure about, I know some cards themselve can do it, not sure if its supported in linux15:07
superm12) check alsamixer (or the xfce equivalent) for an SPDIF switch15:07
superm1it's supported on a lot of ATI hardware, but not all15:07
ActiVisionAny way to do that without installing Mythbuntu?15:09
superm1you can do that all from a live cd15:10
ActivatedAllright15:19
ActivatedIt can't boot...15:21
ActivatedMy TV is u15:22
Activatedjust flashing the input info15:22
ActivatedThere it is15:25
ActivatedOkay, this proc/asound/cards, where do I find it?15:27
superm1it's a file15:39
superm1open a terminal, and look for it15:39
mrandOr you can use the file manager.  In the /proc/asound directory15:40
superm1Yeah15:40
mishehusuperm1: I'm sorry, I forgot.  did you say that lirc 0.8.6 is going to be rolled into 9.10 ?15:40
superm1not sure yet15:40
mrandDoesn't it look unlikely this late in the game, and how long it has waited uncommented on?  Bug #43267815:42
ZinnBug 432678 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Please update LIRC to 0.8.6" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/43267815:42
mishehuwell I'm not sure if my remote's issue is some sort of bug in the current lirc in 9.04.15:43
=== kees_ is now known as kees
mrandmishehu: minor hope that 0.8.5 (currently in 9.10) fixes it for you15:44
ActivatedAnd where is proc/ located?15:45
mrandIt is /proc15:45
mrandGo to the top of your file system... root15:46
mrandActivated: actually, you can't use a file browser to see it.  Sorry.  YOu need to open a terminal window/shell and type  "cat /proc/asound/cards"15:48
mishehumrand: hope so, I've got a pinnacle media center remote that is said to be supported by lirc_mceusb2, and indeed it auotloads that module when I plug it in, but for some reason it doens't register any keypresses.15:49
ActivatedIt says "HDA ATI HDMI", so where can I test the sound? I can't get my mp3's working (surprisingly..)15:51
womboI really do hope lirc 0.8.6 does get rolled in, it will save quite a few threads in the forum with people asking questions16:03
superm1Activated, so that means it's a separate card16:05
superm1if you can disable your onboard, it should just work through that16:05
superm1if not, then you have to specify it with any test app16:05
ActivatedI can take it out16:05
ActivatedOK it's out, what now? Should it work?16:17
ActivatedVLC can't see my USB stick... wtf16:22
mishehuthat would suggest that the entire system can't see your usb stick16:23

* Zinn stabs mishehu with a rusty spork.16:25
tgm4883no, the topic is a day late16:26
ActivatedI would still like to find out if the sound is working, though16:27
sidhgreetings gentlemen16:27
sidhi would like to know if mythbuntu has good support for this 2 device ?16:28
sidh1/hauppauge nova TD 50016:28
sidh2/antec veris elite LCD/IR receiver (with remote)16:28
ActivatedIf it's not possible just tell me..16:38
superm1Activated, you should be able to just try to open a file in VLC or similar16:40
ActivatedYeah there's no sound16:41
sidhas my HTPC has no cd/dvd drive, i use unetbootin to create a flash drive to boot for install16:41
superm1Activated, check in the mixer16:41
superm1for an IEC958 option or SPDIF16:41
sidhbut as i finished the unetbootin process, it asks me for rebooting my laptop, why ?16:41
superm1you might have to check it16:41
superm1sidh, you can also use usb-creator instead of unetbootin if that doesnt work16:42
superm1usb-creator is the supported method for ubuntu iso's -> usb sticks16:42
sidhi just want to have a live usb mythbuntu16:42
ActivatedStill nothing16:42
sidhok i aptitude install it16:42
ActivatedHow do I become a superuser when it's asking for a password and I never entered one??16:45
mrandIt is your password16:47
mrandYou are in the super user group, so you can become one with your own password16:47
superm1well on the live disk, just press enter16:47
superm1there is no password set16:47
ActivatedStill fails16:47
superm1sudo -s can get you a root shell16:47
superm1but su is disabled16:48
ActivatedI'm trying to install the ATI driver but it says I need to be a super-user...16:50
ActivatedWhich apperantly I can't become?16:51
superm1you cant install fglrx on the live disk16:52
superm1you have to do a full install for it16:52
ActivatedIs fclrx the one from ATI's site?16:53
superm1its in the hardware drivers tool and ati's site16:57
ActivatedSo I guess there's nothing more to do16:59
superm1well were you testing 9.10 or 9.04?17:00
superm19.10 beta could possibly do better than 9.0417:00
ActivatedI'm not really confedent with using a beta OS on my HTPC17:02
Activatedconfident?17:02
ActivatedWell, back to winxp I guenn17:03
superm1you can always dual boot too17:06
ActivatedWhy would I want to boot into an OS with no sound?17:07
sidhsuperm1: i used usb-creator to create a mythbuntu flsah drive17:15
sidheverything seems to happes ok for create the drive , but when i boot it, i get a "boot error" message17:16
