[02:47] <Unguided> Hello All. Newb question: Mythbuntu is the ever attempt at installing linux of any sort. I bought a newbie book but all the screens are different. I think it has to do with xfce desktop. If I install ubuntu then add myth to it will that give me the "regular" screens and will it make it easier for me to manage and learn?
[18:45] <Aliv3> Hello! I'll need your help in a tad

[18:46] <Zinn> !help For a  complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi  Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number].
[18:47] <mrand> !ask
[18:47] <Zinn> Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[18:47] <mrand> wow.
[19:25] <Aliv3> hey everyone which capture card to use?? cant find one that looks like its right
[19:28] <dekarl> Aliv3: more general questions like this is better put to #mythtv-users (sorry for pointing back and forth)
[19:28] <dekarl> !tuners
[19:28] <Zinn> Sorry I don't know about tuners
[19:28] <dekarl> hmm, try !tuners over there ;)
[19:29] <Aliv3> Analog, MJpeg ( refers to my webcam ) , H264 Encoder Card (HD-PVR) (looks sorta right but says failed to open), DVB DTV tuners (no DVB device numbers) thats all
[19:30] <Aliv3> I have ati
[19:30] <dekarl> so you already have mythtv installed on a box with all of these devices?
[19:31] <Aliv3> yes
[19:32] <dekarl> (20:30:21) MythLogBot: tuners: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hardware_Device_Information
[19:32] <Zinn> [www.linuxtv.org] Hardware Device Information - LinuxTVWiki
[19:33] <dekarl> lets see, DVB but no device nodes in /dev/dvb/* ?
[19:34] <Aliv3> Yeah I think mine would be something analog because its a ati tuner card desktop 4xxx series
[19:35] <dekarl> hdpvr, does the user account have access to the /dev/video* node?
[19:35] <dekarl> what is an ATI tuner card? Do you mean old skool video capture stuff on a graphics card?
[19:37] <Aliv3> yea the Analog (Analog 4VL Capture Card (I ment)) is seeing /dev/video0
[19:38] <dekarl> hdpvr goes to /dev/videoX, too (at least the wiki says so)
[19:39] <Aliv3> Ok I think I found the card I needed it is /dev/ati/card0 but the probbed info and other details are messed up, how do I found out what I need?
[19:40] <dekarl> hmm, sounds like a good question for #linuxtv, your best bet is likely #mythtv-users (with -users)
[19:40] <Aliv3> Can I see an example of what something else would look like under analog or what?
[19:40] <Aliv3> k thanks
[19:41] <dekarl> it depends in the kind of analog device, see http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_capture_card
[19:41] <Zinn> [www.mythtv.org] Video capture card - MythTV Official Wiki
[19:41] <dekarl> but analog tv is outside of my area of knowledge.
