| Daviey | superm1: oooo, mythplugins upstream jsut had a commit 5 mins ago, that was lucky :) | 00:02 |
| superm1 | camelreef, ubuntu-bug mythvideo would be better | 00:02 |
| superm1 | it will attach version info, logs etc | 00:02 |
| camelreef | sending | 00:08 |
| camelreef | will comment with how-to reproduce | 00:08 |
| Daviey | camelreef: great! | 00:09 |
| camelreef | nearly 15 MB.... going to take some time | 00:09 |
| camelreef | while data is uploading.... I just upgraded my video for a GT220. Is .23 supporting DivX/XviD to such a card? | 00:23 |
| camelreef | the GT220 has the proper feature set and can do it | 00:23 |
| Daviey | camelreef: I don't quite understand the question | 00:28 |
| camelreef | ok, let me rephrase | 00:28 |
| Daviey | mythtv can certainly play XviD, if that is what you mean? | 00:28 |
| camelreef | .22 could use VDPAU for MPEG1/2, VC-1 and H.264 - the NVIDIA cards did not have DivX at the time | 00:29 |
| camelreef | nor NVIDIA cards can hardware decode DivX too | 00:29 |
| camelreef | through VDPAU | 00:29 |
| camelreef | question: does MythTV .23 support that feature? | 00:30 |
| camelreef | nor=now | 00:30 |
| camelreef | 99% | 00:32 |
| camelreef | *** Error: Network problem | 00:32 |
| camelreef | aaaarrgh ! | 00:32 |
| Daviey | camelreef: I don't know tbh, i did notice 720p xvid playing smoother on 0.23 using vdpau .. but other than that - i don't know | 00:32 |
| Daviey | bah! | 00:32 |
| Daviey | hmm, actually that was mkv | 00:32 |
| Daviey | I haven't tried xvid since upgrading, i don't think | 00:32 |
| camelreef | ok | 00:33 |
| camelreef | ok, I'll open the accentuated chars bug tomorrow | 00:34 |
| camelreef | ubuntu-bugs stopped at 99% on a 500 from LP | 00:35 |
| camelreef | I need to go to bed | 00:35 |
| camelreef | ttyl everyone | 00:37 |
| pmcenery | Daviey: I know that autofs will give you the same capability, and I use in on my laptop for example. There are however situations where a line in /etc/fstab is easier than setting up autofs, for dedicated fronetends for example. | 06:57 |
| pmcenery | I also support some servers which use a combination of autofs for home directories, and some static mounts. If someone decided that autofs is the _only_ way to do it, then they best start editing fstab(5). It'll be a whole lot shorter ;) | 07:00 |
| woody440 | hi everybody :) | 07:58 |

| woody440 | need some help... | 08:59 |
| camelreef | Good morning from Scotland! | 09:22 |
| camelreef | I filed a bug on mythvideo regarding accentuated chars not being recognized, at least when using Storage Groups | 09:23 |
| camelreef | filing a new one for mythtv-frontend and PULSEAUDIO:default sending white noise or nothing when seeking | 09:23 |

| woody440 | can anyone help me get my digital tv tuner working in ubuntu 9.10??? | 09:39 |
| camelreef | try me | 09:40 |
| camelreef | Daviey, your new build fixed the version mismatch I was experiencing yesterday, many thanks | 09:41 |
| camelreef | superm1, thanks to you too | 09:42 |
| camelreef | woody440, try me | 09:42 |
| woody440 | ok i have a usb dual digital tuner | 09:43 |

| woody440 | i try and follow the instructions to Download and install the latest v4l-dvb drivers as documented on the v4l-dvb wiki but i get errors | 09:45 |
| woody440 | i do not get the dvb directory created in the dev folder/directory? | 09:47 |
| woody440 | any ideas???? | 09:49 |
| camelreef | woody440, first, for tuner issues the best place is not mythtv, but linux-media, letme find the link | 09:54 |
| camelreef | woody440, you should not have to do anything in 9.10 to make that tuner work | 09:56 |
| camelreef | your stick has been supported since 2.6.28 in kernel | 09:56 |

| Zinn | [www.linuxtv.org] DVB-T USB Devices - LinuxTVWiki | 09:56 |
| woody440 | thats what it says but i have installed tvtime and it says no device is available.....? | 09:57 |
| woody440 | i thought i would try this room and i am in v4l room too.... | 09:58 |
| camelreef | ah | 10:00 |
| camelreef | woody440, | 10:00 |
| camelreef | woody440, just download the firmware | 10:00 |
| camelreef | and move it to /lib/firmware | 10:00 |
| camelreef | then remove the stick, and put it back in | 10:00 |
| woody440 | i have the latest version of this device running chipset af9015......when i run lsusb | grep Afatech | 10:00 |
| woody440 | in the terminal it sees it... | 10:00 |
| woody440 | ok i will try that thx | 10:01 |
| camelreef | do a "dmesg | grep .fw" | 10:01 |
| camelreef | you should see a line complaining about the missing file | 10:01 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:02 |
| camelreef | http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/ | 10:02 |
| Zinn | [www.otit.fi] Index of /~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files | 10:02 |
| camelreef | woody440, do you see the line complaining about the missing file? | 10:04 |
| woody440 | no i am doing something wrong | 10:04 |
| woody440 | i don't have to run as root ie sudo dsmeg | grep .fw? | 10:05 |
| camelreef | no | 10:05 |
| camelreef | dmesg | grep -i dvb should also do it | 10:06 |
| woody440 | do i have to be in any particular directory? | 10:07 |
| camelreef | no | 10:07 |
| camelreef | what is it saying ? dmesg | grep -i dvb | 10:07 |
| woody440 | sorry i am not very good at command line,i put in and nothing happens just goes to the next line awaiting my next command??? | 10:08 |
| woody440 | i put it in | 10:08 |
| camelreef | what if you just type dmesg ? | 10:09 |
| woody440 | the reply from dmesg is huge.... | 10:09 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:10 |
| camelreef | dmesg | grep -i dvb | 10:10 |
| camelreef | the | is not an L | 10:10 |
| camelreef | it is a pipe | 10:10 |
| camelreef | normally 2 vertical dashes on the keyboard | 10:10 |
| woody440 | ok and is there space between dmesg and |? | 10:11 |
| woody440 | and | grep? | 10:11 |
| camelreef | yes | 10:11 |
| camelreef | yes | 10:11 |
| camelreef | just do a copy/paste of the command from the chat to the terminal | 10:12 |
| camelreef | getting somewhere ? | 10:12 |
| woody440 | and grep and -i dvb | 10:12 |
| camelreef | dmesg[space]|[space]grep[space]-i[space]dvb | 10:13 |
| woody440 | i am on two different computers so i can't copy and paste sorry.... | 10:13 |
| woody440 | ,i am putting it in correctly and nothing happens just goes to the next line awaiting my next command??? | 10:14 |
| camelreef | really ? | 10:15 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:15 |
| woody440 | i do lsusb | grep Afatech | 10:15 |
| camelreef | yes, that shows you that the system knows there is something connected | 10:16 |
| camelreef | that doesn;t mean that the driver is loaded | 10:16 |
| woody440 | and it says bus 001 Device 004: ID 1b80:e402 Afatech | 10:16 |
| camelreef | sure | 10:17 |
| woody440 | ok i need the driver? | 10:17 |
| camelreef | yes | 10:17 |
| camelreef | and 9.10 comes with it | 10:17 |
| woody440 | i will try what u said | 10:17 |
| camelreef | you normally just have to add the firmware file | 10:17 |
| camelreef | but | 10:17 |
| camelreef | you may have broken something when trying to compile the v4l-dvb drivers | 10:18 |
| camelreef | dmesg gives you the kernel messages, abot drivers and all | 10:18 |
| camelreef | it should tell you about the dvb stuff | 10:19 |
| camelreef | grep -i dvb catches only lines from dmesg with the word "dvb" inside | 10:19 |
| camelreef | as dvb drivers usually contain that word in their messages | 10:20 |
| camelreef | you have nothing | 10:20 |
| camelreef | it is not normal | 10:20 |
| camelreef | let's check that you command line are OK | 10:20 |
| camelreef | type | 10:20 |
| camelreef | dmesg | grep -i acpi | 10:20 |
| camelreef | do you get a result or just the next prompt? | 10:21 |
| woody440 | ok one second | 10:22 |
| woody440 | what am i looking for there?i get alot of information from that one... | 10:23 |
| camelreef | ok, you are getting lines, all containing the word "ACPI" in them | 10:23 |
| camelreef | meaning that dmesg and grep are working | 10:23 |
| woody440 | yes some say disabled some say enabled... | 10:24 |
| camelreef | now, the worrying part is that the kernel is not giving anything about DVB | 10:24 |
| camelreef | let's see why | 10:24 |
| camelreef | what have you done exactly since the install about dvb drivers ? | 10:24 |
| camelreef | it looks like you broke them bad | 10:25 |
| woody440 | ok i tried to update the kernel?did not know what i was doing | 10:25 |
| camelreef | update the kernel ? how ? | 10:25 |
| woody440 | yep maybe a fresh install would be best | 10:25 |
| camelreef | let's not go too fast, fresh install is for windows :o) | 10:26 |
| camelreef | what did you do to upgrade the kernel? | 10:26 |
| woody440 | hahaha ok i am only new too linux | 10:26 |
| woody440 | i was trying to kernel compile | 10:27 |
| camelreef | using what code coming from where ? | 10:27 |
| woody440 | http://help.ubuntu.com/community/kernel/compile | 10:27 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:28 |
| camelreef | can you give me the result of | 10:28 |
| camelreef | uname -a | 10:28 |
| woody440 | i have three links open that is the first one,i can't remember exactly what i did...?? | 10:28 |
| woody440 | it gives me... | 10:29 |
| woody440 | Linux lex-desktop 2.6.31-20-generic #58 Ubuntu SMP Fri 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux | 10:30 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:31 |
| camelreef | it looks like an ubuntu kernel | 10:31 |
| camelreef | let's see it it is the only one | 10:31 |
| woody440 | no i have two ... | 10:32 |
| camelreef | how many lines is this giving you? | 10:32 |
| camelreef | ls -lah / | grep boot | 10:32 |
| woody440 | well in the directory i have seen two folders... | 10:32 |
| camelreef | stick to the plan ! | 10:32 |
| woody440 | oki | 10:33 |
| woody440 | ls invalid o[ption | 10:34 |
| camelreef | type it correctly | 10:34 |
| woody440 | try ls help?? | 10:34 |
| camelreef | ls -lah / | grep boot | 10:34 |
| woody440 | no such file in directory???that was ls help | 10:35 |
| camelreef | ls -lah / | grep boot | 10:35 |
| camelreef | dammit! | 10:35 |
| camelreef | just type it without typos | 10:35 |
| woody440 | ok i am tryin.... | 10:36 |
| camelreef | ls[space]-lah[space]/[space]|[space]grep[space]boot | 10:37 |
| woody440 | i can't go on the computer with xchat either cause of my brothers firewall,then i could just copy and paste | 10:37 |
| camelreef | just ype | 10:38 |
| camelreef | typew | 10:38 |
| camelreef | type | 10:38 |
| woody440 | ok got something | 10:38 |
| camelreef | how many lines ? | 10:38 |
| camelreef | 3 or 5 ? | 10:39 |
| camelreef | or more ? | 10:39 |
| woody440 | 5 | 10:39 |
| woody440 | shows two kernel numbers | 10:39 |
| camelreef | give me those numbers | 10:39 |
| woody440 | 2.6.31-20 and 2.6.31-14 | 10:40 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:40 |
| camelreef | type | 10:41 |
| woody440 | the lines look the same apart from the time and .old in the lines with the lower kernel | 10:41 |
| camelreef | fine | 10:41 |
| camelreef | you have the kernel version from install time | 10:42 |
| camelreef | and the latest from an upgrade | 10:42 |
| camelreef | this is good | 10:42 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:42 |
| camelreef | now, just to make sure, we will reinstall the latest one | 10:42 |
| woody440 | hey i really appreciate ur help... | 10:42 |
| camelreef | that should put back things as they should be, including the original dvb drivers | 10:43 |
| camelreef | just in case you did something that gor rid of them | 10:43 |
| woody440 | ok how do we do that? | 10:43 |
| camelreef | be ready for a longer command line! | 10:43 |
| woody440 | ok give it | 10:43 |
| camelreef | sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic | 10:44 |
| camelreef | type it slowly, check for typos | 10:45 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:45 |
| camelreef | it will ask for your password | 10:45 |
| camelreef | then reinstall | 10:45 |
| camelreef | how is it looking ? | 10:47 |
| woody440 | ok it is running | 10:47 |
| camelreef | good | 10:47 |
| camelreef | tell me when it is done | 10:47 |
| camelreef | done ? | 10:49 |
| woody440 | ok it asked to reboot | 10:49 |
| camelreef | not yet | 10:50 |
| woody440 | unknown program is still running stopping it from rebooting should i reboot anyway | 10:50 |
| camelreef | now type | 10:50 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:50 |
| camelreef | find /lib/modules -name *9015* | 10:50 |
| camelreef | this will search for the driver file | 10:50 |
| camelreef | this should give you 2 lines ending with .ko, one for each kernel installed | 10:51 |
| woody440 | yup ur right | 10:52 |
| woody440 | two lines for each kernel | 10:52 |
| woody440 | one line for each kernel version | 10:53 |
| woody440 | 2.6.30-14 and -20 | 10:53 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:55 |
| camelreef | reboot the machine | 10:55 |
| camelreef | tell me when done | 10:55 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:55 |
| woody440 | it is backup now | 10:58 |
| camelreef | ok | 10:59 |
| camelreef | back to the command line | 10:59 |
| camelreef | dmesg | grep -i dvb | 10:59 |
| woody440 | ok | 10:59 |
| camelreef | let's see if we have some signs of dvb stuff | 11:00 |
| camelreef | so ? | 11:02 |
| camelreef | any result or just the next prompt? | 11:04 |
| camelreef | great | 11:05 |
| woody440 | i am sure i have typed it correctly | 11:06 |
| camelreef | and? nothing or just the next command prompt ? | 11:06 |
| woody440 | i just got dc camelreef | 11:06 |
| camelreef | ?? | 11:07 |
| camelreef | ok | 11:07 |
| camelreef | and? nothing or just the next command prompt ? | 11:07 |
| woody440 | just lex@lex-desktop:-$ thats it | 11:07 |
| camelreef | is the stick in ? | 11:07 |
| camelreef | maybe I should have started with that... | 11:07 |
| woody440 | yep i will double check though | 11:07 |
| woody440 | i have it pluged into a powered usb hub | 11:08 |
| camelreef | ok | 11:08 |
| camelreef | upplug it and plug it back | 11:08 |
| camelreef | unplug, wait 5s, then replug | 11:08 |
| camelreef | then dmesg | grep -i dvb | 11:09 |
| camelreef | just use the uparrow key to get the previous command | 11:09 |
| camelreef | hubs with TV sticks are not recommended, btw, hubs share USB capacity, TV sticks need plenty of bandwidth, expecially dual tuners | 11:10 |
| camelreef | woody440, what gives ? | 11:10 |
| aaron_liuj | how to set up mythv | 11:10 |
| camelreef | aaron_liuj, how to make money, fast | 11:11 |
| aaron_liuj | how to set up backends | 11:11 |
| aaron_liuj | it'show me no pnp | 11:12 |
| camelreef | woody440, ? | 11:12 |
| woody440 | ok i pulled it out and plugged into a different usb on pc | 11:13 |
| woody440 | still same result | 11:13 |
| camelreef | ok | 11:13 |
| camelreef | lsmod | grep 9015 | 11:14 |
| camelreef | is the module loaded ? | 11:14 |
| woody440 | would u recommend go without the usb hub straight into usb in pc? | 11:14 |
| woody440 | ok i will run that first | 11:14 |
| aaron_liuj | i cannot o login database | 11:14 |
| camelreef | I would recommend no hub for tv sticks | 11:14 |
| woody440 | same result nothing next line $ | 11:15 |
| camelreef | hmmm | 11:15 |
| camelreef | ok | 11:15 |
| camelreef | let's see if the first kernel acts better | 11:16 |
| aaron_liuj | what's the database i connect to | 11:17 |
| camelreef | you will reboot, then, right after the BIOS stuff you will see a message with a 3s timer. At this time hit ESC. You will have a menu with your kernels. Chose the -14 version, not -20, and not the recovery option | 11:17 |
| camelreef | when all booted, back to the command line with dmesg | grep -i dvb | 11:18 |
| woody440 | ok | 11:18 |
| camelreef | I'll be back in 10-15mn | 11:18 |
| woody440 | ok | 11:20 |
| aaron_liuj | how to set up database configuration window 2 | 11:21 |
| aaron_liuj | database server : | 11:22 |
| aaron_liuj | what ? | 11:22 |
| aaron_liuj | default localhost | 11:22 |
| aaron_liuj | ? | 11:22 |
| aaron_liuj | database name ? | 11:22 |

| camelreef | woody440, back. Wat gives with -14 ? | 11:38 |
| camelreef | what | 11:38 |
| woody440 | ok same as 20 $ | 11:39 |
| camelreef | is the stck plugged directly into the computer now ? | 11:39 |
| camelreef | if not, do that | 11:40 |
| camelreef | and dmesg | grep -i dvb | 11:40 |
| woody440 | yep that is how it is directly plugged into usb in pc | 11:41 |
| camelreef | this is more than weird, then | 11:41 |
| camelreef | ok, you must have broken somethign massively wrong | 11:41 |
| camelreef | beyong IRC help | 11:42 |
| camelreef | beyond | 11:42 |
| camelreef | so... | 11:42 |
| woody440 | ok camel thx for ur help | 11:42 |
| camelreef | fresh install | 11:42 |
| camelreef | and install the package linux-firmware-nonfree | 11:42 |
| camelreef | it will give you the firmware for your stick | 11:42 |
| woody440 | oki much appreciated | 11:43 |
| camelreef | you do not have to compile anything at all | 11:43 |
| camelreef | I have 10+ years of Linux experience and do not compile anything myself anymore, especially not kernels | 11:44 |
| woody440 | ok so freshinstall then just the package linux-firmware-nonfree..... no updates | 11:44 |
| camelreef | distros do a very good job for this these days | 11:44 |
| camelreef | do the normal updates, of course | 11:44 |
| woody440 | ok | 11:44 |
| camelreef | Ubuntu kernels come with the right driver for your stick, just add the firmware package | 11:45 |
| woody440 | ok i follow the how to forge perfect desktop for ubuntu 9.10.....would u recommend this? | 11:45 |
| camelreef | now you have already spent more time than it would have taken to do a fresh install, let's cut the losses :) | 11:45 |
| camelreef | you want a mythtv system ? | 11:46 |
| camelreef | dedicated ? | 11:46 |
| camelreef | or a desktop that does mythtv as well? | 11:46 |
| woody440 | i have about 1 months using linux i am not giving up till i get it working | 11:46 |
| camelreef | good approach | 11:47 |
| camelreef | I am weary of those guides, they tend to be outdate and make you do stupid things without enough explanations | 11:47 |
| camelreef | outdated | 11:47 |
| camelreef | just do a normal install of Ubuntu without any extras | 11:48 |
| woody440 | i have done two ubuntu 9.10 installs one with mythtv as well and also a dedicated mythtv install | 11:48 |
| camelreef | todays this is more than you need | 11:48 |
| camelreef | the system you are on now, will it be dedicated ? | 11:48 |
| woody440 | yep it is i need a break thx heaps for your help | 11:48 |
| woody440 | i don't think so cause i still need to network to other pcs | 11:49 |
| camelreef | ok | 11:49 |
| camelreef | then do a normal install, upgrade it, add the firmware, then install mythbuntu-control-center, then run it from System->Administration | 11:50 |
| camelreef | that gives you a clean and nice way of doing the mythtv part | 11:50 |
| camelreef | ttyl | 11:50 |

| ethicator | Hi there, how do I install the mythtv 0.23 themes that are part of the competition? | 12:07 |
| dewman | anyone know of any good deals on a hd homerun? | 15:43 |
| mrand | If there are no sales currently on New Egg or the like, you may be able to find it on ebay for a few dollars cheaper than new. | 15:57 |
| dewman | mrand, thanks....I am looking for a new card. This ol frame grabber has got to go! =) | 16:05 |
| dewman | I found a hauppauge media mvp for $50 bucks....I dont see it in the mythtv wiki....Is that thing supported? | 16:06 |
| mrand | dewman: that isn't a tuner. Looks like it is some sort of media player. If it supports UPNP, then it would be able to browse the media on a myth system, as would many (most?) other media players. | 16:07 |
| dewman | mrand, your right...I just found that.... opps...I was getting trigger happy | 16:08 |
| dewman | mrand, I found a website that lets you generate rss feeds for all of craigslist. I found a whole bunch of good deals on capture cards....=) | 16:55 |
| superdug | Okay, so I'm running 10.04 beta mythbuntu amd-64. Everything seems to be working wonderfully, except Watch recordings doesn't list shows that are currently recording. I can watch currently recording shows if I go to liveTV and swap inputs | 17:18 |
| superdug | ugh | 17:19 |
| mrand | superdug: it works for me. Perhaps there is a filter or setting? | 17:19 |
| superdug | mrand: hence the "ugh" I wasn't on the correct group view :-/ | 17:21 |
| Daviey | :( | 17:23 |
| superdug | it works now :-) | 17:26 |
| superdug | I knew I had done something stupid | 17:26 |
| superdug | I gotta say though ... I've setup myth before from scratch and I've gotta say mythbuntu takes almost all of the pain of myth setup away | 17:34 |
| superdug | obviously mythbackendsetup is a bit of a challenge for those not familiar | 17:34 |
| superdug | but thats the ONLY challenge | 17:35 |
| mrand | superdug: that's good to hear. some remotes and, as you say, tuner, input, and channel config remain troublesome points. As does audio for some people. There is only so much that you can do beyond what mythtv-setup provides. Upstream is planning to revamp mythtv-setup eventually. | 17:36 |

| tmkt | hey hey... | 18:27 |
| tmkt | recently took out my geforce 9600 and decided to give my on board ati a try(much quieter) | 18:27 |
| tmkt | but now..i have a purple line on the left hand side of my screen | 18:28 |
| tmkt | any ideas how to get rid of it? | 18:28 |
| rhpot1991 | tmkt: put the nvidia card back in :) | 18:38 |
| tmkt | yeah...too loud | 18:42 |
| tmkt | either deal with loud fan of the nvidia | 18:42 |
| tmkt | or figure out what is causing this 3-4 pixel wide purple line | 18:42 |
| tmkt | guessing it has to do with modeline | 18:42 |
| rhpot1991 | to be honest nvidia is well worth it, you can't run VDPAU on an ATI card | 18:43 |
| tmkt | or perhaps the resolution should be 1366x768 and its doing 1360x768...not sure | 18:43 |
| tmkt | yeah.the VDPAU is buggy though | 18:43 |
| rhpot1991 | if you don't like the noise then you could invest in a silent card | 18:43 |
| rhpot1991 | agree to disagree. | 18:43 |
| tmkt | I just use High Quality setting with either card | 18:43 |
| tmkt | when I use the VDPAU | 18:43 |
| tmkt | and go to program guide | 18:43 |
| tmkt | it doesn't scale the image on the program guide | 18:43 |
| tmkt | it shows a cropped portion of the full window | 18:43 |
| rhpot1991 | not sure about that | 18:44 |
| rhpot1991 | tried the autobuilds to see if its fixed there? | 18:44 |
| tmkt | everytime i just the vdpau i get the same issue | 18:44 |
| tmkt | i'm on the nightlies...just hard to convince myself to put the nvidia back in fover a purple line..the silence is nice | 18:44 |
| tmkt | but probably will going back to the nvidia if i can't find a solution to the purple line | 18:45 |
| tmkt | and still can't figure out why i'm not getting 5.1 from my videos anymore..those suggestions you gave me on friday didn't seem to have any effect :( | 18:45 |
| rhpot1991 | tmkt: I haven't run lucid on anything important yet so I'm not sure if thats an issue or not | 18:47 |
| rhpot1991 | you could file a bug just in case | 18:47 |
| === toorima_ is now known as toorima | ||
| tmkt | yeah i might..not sure if i should file it against lucid or myth..not sure where the error lies | 18:48 |
| tmkt | Recordings play 5.1 | 18:48 |
| tmkt | all my handbrake dvd rips only play in dd2.0 unless i use vlc or mplayer | 18:49 |
| tmkt | ripped them all using ac3 passthrough..guess its a myth issue | 18:53 |
| TecnoBrat | Note to self .. when making a patch .. do the diff in the right order | 19:15 |

| superdug | mrand: well I have one of those handheld logitech dinovo's ... so my remote sorta automatically works when the computer does :-) | 20:50 |
| superdug | mrand: also, I'm surprised ubuntu as a whole hasn't put something in the installer to ask "I see an onboard video card, a discreet graphics card, 3 DVI outs and an HDMI out, which one(s) do you want to use by default" | 20:51 |
| superdug | its hard to even find a home consumer computer with only one video card and only one port therein | 20:52 |
| mrand | superdug: speaking of Ubuntu in general, it's always compromise between trying to make semi-intelligent defaults vs. configurability and all the headaches that come with that - especially when you are possibly dealing with non-technical users that don't know what a video card/port is, or HDMI, or DVI. Also, I strongly suspect that the majority of users really do only have one display option. Most Dell, HP, and other computers only ha | 21:02 |
| superdug | mrand: right, but the second to last step of the installer has always had the Advanced... button seems that'd be a great place to put some of that stuff | 21:03 |
| mrand | superdug: sure would.... I'm sure the installer team would love to have some help! :-) | 21:04 |
| superdug | lulz | 21:04 |
| superdug | distro related development | 21:04 |
| superdug | so not my thing anymore | 21:04 |
| mrand | It's certainly different than single project related stuff. | 21:06 |
