[02:17] I am really stupid^^ [02:17] stupid mythbuntu angers me [02:17] nice [03:05] right [14:31] 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] superm1: changed the resolution to 720x480 and it records just fine. [14:46] CyberKnet: plus now everything will look better [14:53] rhpot1991: I did not increase the bitrate [14:53] CyberKnet: no, but your are recording at a better resolution [14:53] pushing almost twice the number of pixels per second into the same number of bits per second... [15:04] Does Mythbuntu support sound over DVI to HDMI with a radeon 3xxx? [15:04] sound over DVI isn't possible I thought [15:05] none of those pins are allocated for sound [15:05] I know [15:05] But ATI can do magic [15:05] superm1: some of the ati cards have sound chips on them [15:06] then it just pushes sound out of a modified dvi port that you put a hdmi converter on [15:06] then why didn't they just add an HDMI port; avoid all this confusion :) [15:06] nvidia does the same thing, but you gotta wire it up to your mobo [15:06] They are now [15:06] Both suck anyways [15:07] ActiVision, well so if it's gonna work, then you'll have one of two options: [15:07] But is it possible with ATI's drivers? [15:07] 1) check /proc/asound/cards [15:07] and see if there are multiple cards listed [15:07] one of them may represent your ATI card [15:07] ActiVision: that I'm not sure about, I know some cards themselve can do it, not sure if its supported in linux [15:07] 2) check alsamixer (or the xfce equivalent) for an SPDIF switch [15:07] it's supported on a lot of ATI hardware, but not all [15:09] Any way to do that without installing Mythbuntu? [15:10] you can do that all from a live cd [15:19] Allright [15:21] It can't boot... [15:22] My TV is u [15:22] just flashing the input info [15:25] There it is [15:27] Okay, this proc/asound/cards, where do I find it? [15:39] it's a file [15:39] open a terminal, and look for it [15:40] Or you can use the file manager. In the /proc/asound directory [15:40] Yeah [15:40] superm1: I'm sorry, I forgot. did you say that lirc 0.8.6 is going to be rolled into 9.10 ? [15:40] not sure yet [15:42] Doesn't it look unlikely this late in the game, and how long it has waited uncommented on? Bug #432678 [15:42] Bug 432678 in lirc (Ubuntu) "Please update LIRC to 0.8.6" [Undecided, New] http://www.launchpad.net/bugs/432678 [15:43] well I'm not sure if my remote's issue is some sort of bug in the current lirc in 9.04. === kees_ is now known as kees [15:44] mishehu: minor hope that 0.8.5 (currently in 9.10) fixes it for you [15:45] And where is proc/ located? [15:45] It is /proc [15:46] Go to the top of your file system... root [15:48] 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] 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] It says "HDA ATI HDMI", so where can I test the sound? I can't get my mp3's working (surprisingly..) [16:03] 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] Activated, so that means it's a separate card [16:05] if you can disable your onboard, it should just work through that [16:05] if not, then you have to specify it with any test app [16:05] I can take it out [16:17] OK it's out, what now? Should it work? [16:22] VLC can't see my USB stick... wtf [16:23] that would suggest that the entire system can't see your usb stick === tgm4883 changed the topic of #ubuntu-mythtv to: Mythbuntu 9.04 released :: Please visit www.mythbuntu.org for more information :: Mythbuntu 9.10 Beta Released http://www.mythbuntu.org/9.10/beta :: Paste logs @ http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com Please stick around for people to answer your question [16:24] tgm4883: hah! you guys are a day late! [16:25] !stab mishehu [16:25] * Zinn stabs mishehu with a rusty spork. [16:26] no, the topic is a day late [16:27] I would still like to find out if the sound is working, though [16:27] greetings gentlemen [16:28] i would like to know if mythbuntu has good support for this 2 device ? [16:28] 1/hauppauge nova TD 500 [16:28] 2/antec veris elite LCD/IR receiver (with remote) [16:38] If it's not possible just tell me.. [16:40] Activated, you should be able to just try to open a file in VLC or similar [16:41] Yeah there's no sound [16:41] as my HTPC has no cd/dvd drive, i use unetbootin to create a flash drive to boot for install [16:41] Activated, check in the mixer [16:41] for an IEC958 option or SPDIF [16:41] but as i finished the unetbootin process, it asks me for rebooting my laptop, why ? [16:41] you might have to check it [16:42] sidh, you can also use usb-creator instead of unetbootin if that doesnt work [16:42] usb-creator is the supported method for ubuntu iso's -> usb sticks [16:42] i just want to have a live usb mythbuntu [16:42] Still nothing [16:42] ok i aptitude install it [16:45] How do I become a superuser when it's asking for a password and I never entered one?? [16:47] It is your password [16:47] You are in the super user group, so you can become one with your own password [16:47] well on the live disk, just press enter [16:47] there is no password set [16:47] Still fails [16:47] sudo -s can get you a root shell [16:48] but su is disabled [16:50] I'm trying to install the ATI driver but it says I need to be a super-user... [16:51] Which apperantly I can't become? [16:52] you cant install fglrx on the live disk [16:52] you have to do a full install for it [16:53] Is fclrx the one from ATI's site? [16:57] its in the hardware drivers tool and ati's site [16:59] So I guess there's nothing more to do [17:00] well were you testing 9.10 or 9.04? [17:00] 9.10 beta could possibly do better than 9.04 [17:02] I'm not really confedent with using a beta OS on my HTPC [17:02] confident? [17:03] Well, back to winxp I guenn [17:06] you can always dual boot too [17:07] Why would I want to boot into an OS with no sound? [17:15] superm1: i used usb-creator to create a mythbuntu flsah drive [17:16] everything seems to happes ok for create the drive , but when i boot it, i get a "boot error" message [17:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/277903 <- will try [19:14] !stab rhpot1991 [19:14] * Zinn betrays tgm4883 and stabs them in the eye.
