|---|---|---|
| holstein | obengdako: hey | 17:04 |
| obengdako | holstein, hi! | 17:05 |
| obengdako | hi guys anyone got usb tvbox by trident with vendor id 6000 product id 0001 to work in linux? | 17:06 |
| holstein | i would probably ask in #mythtv | 17:07 |
| obengdako | okay i'll get there now | 17:07 |
| holstein | i cant find the compatibility list that i found once | 17:07 |
| holstein | hey, theres a #ubuntu-mythtv too :) | 17:08 |
| obengdako | i got there and was asked to head to #linuxtv | 17:10 |
| holstein | doesnt look good http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544298 | 17:10 |
| obengdako | yeah not too good | 17:12 |
| holstein | i have a k-world card thats been in a static bag for a couple years now :/ | 17:13 |
| holstein | PCI | 17:13 |
| holstein | it wont 'give up the funk' in linux | 17:13 |
| obengdako | it shows up in virtual box but it works with hisses and glitches since it is a usb and the data is flowing in bits to virtual box it doesn't give the best viewing pleasure so i have to get it to work in ubuntu | 17:13 |
| obengdako | hehehe | 17:14 |
| holstein | at least its an inexpensive/old-ish device | 17:14 |
| obengdako | i had a saa7134 compatible pcmcia card but i've changed my laptiop to one that doesn't have a pcmcia port so i bought this usb card | 17:14 |
| holstein | maybe you can craigslist it and get something more friendly | 17:14 |
| obengdako | mike what is craigslist | 17:15 |
| obengdako | ? | 17:15 |
| holstein | like ebay | 17:15 |
| holstein | online auction | 17:15 |
| holstein | obengdako: if you just bought it | 17:16 |
| holstein | maybe you can return it :) | 17:16 |
| obengdako | well i returned a previous one that was an encore enutv-2 usb box | 17:16 |
| obengdako | that one does not even show up in lsusb and it was giving problems to drivers and blue screen in windows | 17:17 |
| obengdako | and got this replacement | 17:17 |
| obengdako | lol where i am online shopping is not an alternative so ebay is way "far" for me holstein | 17:18 |
| holstein | being able to return it is ideal i say | 17:19 |
| holstein | sometimes you just gotta keep trying | 17:19 |
| holstein | maybe take the laptop with you | 17:19 |
| holstein | lsusb in there | 17:20 |
| holstein | and try seeing it with something | 17:20 |
| holstein | VLC or some capture app | 17:20 |
| obengdako | i always take the laptop but like this one it show up in lsusb but there is no kernel module loaded for this one plus i assume there is a solution online until i hit the wall | 17:21 |
| holstein | lol | 17:22 |
| holstein | assume nothing | 17:22 |
| holstein | i can see quite a few devices in lspci | 17:22 |
| holstein | and lsusb | 17:22 |
| holstein | that dont work | 17:22 |
| holstein | sometimes support can be worked out | 17:22 |
| obengdako | well that takes time | 17:23 |
| holstein | but there should be something plug and play | 17:23 |
| holstein | at a similar price | 17:23 |
| obengdako | hmmm but where to get some here in Ghana would be a tough task for me | 17:24 |
| holstein | amazon | 17:25 |
| holstein | assuming you can find a compatibility list | 17:25 |
| holstein | the one i used to go to is gone :/ | 17:25 |
| obengdako | well in Ghana to get a credit card or even a debit card to shop online would be cumbersome | 17:26 |
| obengdako | i do need to get the compatibility list so i can know what not to buy | 17:26 |
| holstein | more cumbersome than writing a kernel module ;) | 17:26 |
| obengdako | lol hehe that's rather even more cumbersome 'writing a kernel module' | 17:27 |
| holstein | obengdako: im sure you can sort it out | 17:27 |
| holstein | they can probably tell you in one of those myth channels where the compatibility list went | 17:27 |
| obengdako | yep i'll try till i'm tired of the card | 17:28 |
| holstein | OR suggest some easy plug and play devices | 17:28 |
| holstein | maybe even tell you how to get started reverse engineering a driver :) | 17:28 |
| obengdako | yep i saw a post right now about it doing some extraction from the .sys file to get fw files | 17:29 |
| holstein | obengdako: maybe using the windows driver | 17:29 |
| holstein | like the old wifi cards used to do it | 17:30 |
| obengdako | yeah i'll see | 17:30 |
| djindy | Hello, is anyone here today? | 21:17 |
| === virtu is now known as virtu_em_SP | ||
| obengdako | holstein, i got my card to work | 23:28 |
| holstein | obengdako: congrats | 23:28 |
| obengdako | holstein, are you there? | 23:28 |
| holstein | what was it? | 23:28 |
| holstein | a backport? | 23:28 |
| holstein | or something more challenging? | 23:28 |
| obengdako | not really i had to modprobe tm6000 | 23:29 |
| holstein | nice | 23:29 |
| obengdako | but after doing that i did not have firmware | 23:29 |
| obengdako | so i used a perl script to extract them and then cp them to /lib/firmware | 23:29 |
| obengdako | and that was it ! | 23:29 |
| obengdako | so not really challenging | 23:30 |
| obengdako | now i just have to figure out how to get the audio from the card | 23:30 |
| holstein | thats great :) | 23:30 |
| obengdako | do you have any ideas before i start googling? | 23:31 |
| holstein | OH | 23:31 |
| holstein | about the sound? | 23:31 |
| holstein | whats the deal | 23:31 |
| holstein | you want sound from the USB tm6000? | 23:31 |
| holstein | aplay -l | 23:32 |
| obengdako | yes man | 23:32 |
| holstein | and arecord -l | 23:32 |
| holstein | that should show you if its useable | 23:32 |
| obengdako | i just did arecord -l | 23:32 |
| obengdako | let me see aplay -l | 23:32 |
| obengdako | i probably should modprobe tm6000-alsa | 23:33 |
| holstein | sure | 23:33 |
| obengdako | and by the way i was looking for /dev/dsp and did not find it | 23:33 |
| obengdako | has it been stripped in ubuntu meercat | 23:34 |
| obengdako | ? | 23:34 |
| holstein | i dont think so | 23:34 |
| holstein | but, im still on lucid | 23:34 |
| obengdako | is it that hda doesn't use it or just pulse has removed it completely? | 23:35 |
| obengdako | do you have the device link? | 23:35 |
| obengdako | in your installation | 23:35 |
| * holstein looking | 23:35 | |
| holstein | you might be right | 23:36 |
| holstein | i dont find it | 23:36 |
| * obengdako still searching | 23:40 | |
| holstein | http://www.khattam.info/solved-cant-open-devdsp-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-2010-06-09.html | 23:41 |
| holstein | thats all i come up with | 23:41 |
| obengdako | thanks checking the link | 23:41 |
| holstein | not very promising :/ | 23:42 |
| holstein | just kinda supports the theory | 23:42 |
| obengdako | yeah i already know how to do that but thanks anyway for the link kinda lets me know that i should not expect the audio to be parsed there | 23:44 |
| obengdako | hmmm | 23:44 |
| obengdako | so mike where are you? pm | 23:45 |
| holstein | im in asheville north carolina US | 23:46 |
| obengdako | i hope you remember where i'm from? | 23:46 |
| holstein | :/ | 23:46 |
| holstein | its been a while | 23:46 |
| obengdako | Accra, Ghana | 23:46 |
| holstein | OH yea | 23:46 |
| holstein | i remember that from earlier | 23:47 |
| holstein | but i thought i had seen your nick before in here | 23:47 |
| holstein | way back | 23:47 |
| obengdako | yes i've been on ubuntustudio for a while | 23:47 |
| holstein | obengdako: maybe before i was camped out here ;) | 23:48 |
| holstein | my girlfriends brother used to live in accra | 23:50 |
| obengdako | i actually have a basic ubuntu setup with kde, sfce, kxstudio all wrapped in | 23:50 |

| obengdako | wow that's cool | 23:51 |
| holstein | hes mostly in haiti now | 23:51 |
| obengdako | oh i see | 23:51 |
| obengdako | i can't believe we are having personal conversation in a public irc | 23:52 |
| obengdako | channel | 23:52 |
| holstein | lol | 23:52 |
| obengdako | plus it is even logged | 23:52 |
| holstein | i like to keep activity in here | 23:52 |
| holstein | as long as its not too personal | 23:52 |
| obengdako | yeah i realised | 23:52 |
| holstein | i think it promotes use of the channel | 23:52 |
| holstein | and i dont think the higher-ups mind | 23:52 |
| holstein | as long as the primary function isnt neglected | 23:53 |
