 I am really stupid^^
 stupid mythbuntu angers me
[02:17] <tgm4883> nice
[03:05] <darthanubis> right
[14:31] <CyberKnet> superm1: I found the problem - it was recording at 480x480 and that apparently is a semi-known-problem for pvr-500 in linux
[14:31] <CyberKnet> superm1: changed the resolution to 720x480 and it records just fine.
[14:46] <rhpot1991> CyberKnet: plus now everything will look better
[14:53] <CyberKnet> rhpot1991: I did not increase the bitrate
[14:53] <rhpot1991> CyberKnet: no, but your are recording at a better resolution
[14:53] <CyberKnet> pushing almost twice the number of pixels per second into the same number of bits per second...
[15:04] <ActiVision> Does Mythbuntu support sound over DVI to HDMI with a radeon 3xxx?
[15:04] <superm1> sound over DVI isn't possible I thought
[15:05] <superm1> none of those pins are allocated for sound
[15:05] <ActiVision> I know
[15:05] <ActiVision> But ATI can do magic
[15:05] <rhpot1991> superm1: some of the ati cards have sound chips on them
[15:06] <rhpot1991> then it just pushes sound out of a modified dvi port that you put a hdmi converter on
[15:06] <superm1> then why didn't they just add an HDMI port; avoid all this confusion :)
[15:06] <rhpot1991> nvidia does the same thing, but you gotta wire it up to your mobo
[15:06] <ActiVision> They are now
[15:06] <ActiVision> Both suck anyways
[15:07] <superm1> ActiVision, well so if it's gonna work, then you'll have one of two options:
[15:07] <ActiVision> But is it possible with ATI's drivers?
[15:07] <superm1> 1) check /proc/asound/cards
[15:07] <superm1> and see if there are multiple cards listed
[15:07] <superm1> one of them may represent your ATI card
[15:07] <rhpot1991> ActiVision: that I'm not sure about, I know some cards themselve can do it, not sure if its supported in linux
[15:07] <superm1> 2) check alsamixer (or the xfce equivalent) for an SPDIF switch
[15:07] <superm1> it's supported on a lot of ATI hardware, but not all
[15:09] <ActiVision> Any way to do that without installing Mythbuntu?
[15:10] <superm1> you can do that all from a live cd
[15:19] <Activated> Allright
[15:21] <Activated> It can't boot...
[15:22] <Activated> My TV is u
[15:22] <Activated> just flashing the input info
[15:25] <Activated> There it is
[15:27] <Activated> Okay, this proc/asound/cards, where do I find it?
[15:39] <superm1> it's a file
[15:39] <superm1> open a terminal, and look for it
[15:40] <mrand> Or you can use the file manager.  In the /proc/asound directory
[15:40] <superm1> Yeah
[15:40] <mishehu> superm1: I'm sorry, I forgot.  did you say that lirc 0.8.6 is going to be rolled into 9.10 ?
[15:40] <superm1> not sure yet
[15:42] <mrand> Doesn't it look unlikely this late in the game, and how long it has waited uncommented on?  Bug #432678
[15:42] <Zinn> Bug 432678 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Please update LIRC to 0.8.6" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/432678
[15:43] <mishehu> well I'm not sure if my remote's issue is some sort of bug in the current lirc in 9.04.
[15:44] <mrand> mishehu: minor hope that 0.8.5 (currently in 9.10) fixes it for you
[15:45] <Activated> And where is proc/ located?
[15:45] <mrand> It is /proc
[15:46] <mrand> Go to the top of your file system... root
[15:48] <mrand> Activated: 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"
[15:49] <mishehu> mrand: 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.
[15:51] <Activated> It says "HDA ATI HDMI", so where can I test the sound? I can't get my mp3's working (surprisingly..)
[16:03] <wombo> I really do hope lirc 0.8.6 does get rolled in, it will save quite a few threads in the forum with people asking questions
[16:05] <superm1> Activated, so that means it's a separate card
[16:05] <superm1> if you can disable your onboard, it should just work through that
[16:05] <superm1> if not, then you have to specify it with any test app
[16:05] <Activated> I can take it out
[16:17] <Activated> OK it's out, what now? Should it work?
[16:22] <Activated> VLC can't see my USB stick... wtf
[16:23] <mishehu> that would suggest that the entire system can't see your usb stick
[16:24] <mishehu> tgm4883: hah!  you guys are a day late!
[16:25] <tgm4883> !stab mishehu
[16:25]  * Zinn stabs mishehu with a rusty spork.
[16:26] <tgm4883> no, the topic is a day late
[16:27] <Activated> I would still like to find out if the sound is working, though
[16:27] <sidh> greetings gentlemen
[16:28] <sidh> i would like to know if mythbuntu has good support for this 2 device ?
[16:28] <sidh> 1/hauppauge nova TD 500
[16:28] <sidh> 2/antec veris elite LCD/IR receiver (with remote)
[16:38] <Activated> If it's not possible just tell me..
[16:40] <superm1> Activated, you should be able to just try to open a file in VLC or similar
[16:41] <Activated> Yeah there's no sound
[16:41] <sidh> as my HTPC has no cd/dvd drive, i use unetbootin to create a flash drive to boot for install
[16:41] <superm1> Activated, check in the mixer
[16:41] <superm1> for an IEC958 option or SPDIF
[16:41] <sidh> but as i finished the unetbootin process, it asks me for rebooting my laptop, why ?
[16:41] <superm1> you might have to check it
[16:42] <superm1> sidh, you can also use usb-creator instead of unetbootin if that doesnt work
[16:42] <superm1> usb-creator is the supported method for ubuntu iso's -> usb sticks
[16:42] <sidh> i just want to have a live usb mythbuntu
[16:42] <Activated> Still nothing
[16:42] <sidh> ok i aptitude install it
[16:45] <Activated> How do I become a superuser when it's asking for a password and I never entered one??
[16:47] <mrand> It is your password
[16:47] <mrand> You are in the super user group, so you can become one with your own password
[16:47] <superm1> well on the live disk, just press enter
[16:47] <superm1> there is no password set
[16:47] <Activated> Still fails
[16:47] <superm1> sudo -s can get you a root shell
[16:48] <superm1> but su is disabled
[16:50] <Activated> I'm trying to install the ATI driver but it says I need to be a super-user...
[16:51] <Activated> Which apperantly I can't become?
[16:52] <superm1> you cant install fglrx on the live disk
[16:52] <superm1> you have to do a full install for it
[16:53] <Activated> Is fclrx the one from ATI's site?
[16:57] <superm1> its in the hardware drivers tool and ati's site
[16:59] <Activated> So I guess there's nothing more to do
[17:00] <superm1> well were you testing 9.10 or 9.04?
[17:00] <superm1> 9.10 beta could possibly do better than 9.04
[17:02] <Activated> I'm not really confedent with using a beta OS on my HTPC
[17:02] <Activated> confident?
[17:03] <Activated> Well, back to winxp I guenn
[17:06] <superm1> you can always dual boot too
[17:07] <Activated> Why would I want to boot into an OS with no sound?
[17:15] <sidh> superm1: i used usb-creator to create a mythbuntu flsah drive
[17:16] <sidh> everything seems to happes ok for create the drive , but when i boot it, i get a "boot error" message

[22:02] <ToeBee> sidh: thanks for posting that launchpad URL. I've been having problems with USB booting but I thought it might be my bios!
