Shadow__Xthere is no more jamu right? i should just remove it from cron?05:25
BatshuaAnyone awake?06:25
babycapsuleexcept me06:25
Batshua… Mythbackend isn't seeing my tuner card.06:26
BatshuaI'm … concerned, because I'm not sure how to set up the card if'n it can't see it. :/06:27
BatshuaUhm, what can I do?06:27
babycapsulelspci06:27
babycapsulethen you know the id, model and chip of your turner card06:28
babycapsulethen modprobe06:29
BatshuaUhm.06:30
BatshuaI don't think I see it?06:30
babycapsulelspci?06:30
BatshuaIf I pastebin the log can you check it for me?06:30
BatshuaYeah, I am looking at the output and I don't see anything that looks like my tuner card06:30
babycapsuleno06:30
Batshuamaybe I'm reading it wrong.06:30
BatshuaOh balls.06:31
BatshuaI'm thinking maybe the card isn't seated properly.06:31
Batshua… which is not cool.06:31
babycapsulemaybe your pci id database is too old06:31
BatshuaHrm?06:31
babycapsuleyou have to update it06:31
BatshuaHow does one fix that?06:31
babycapsulea command06:31
babycapsule#sudo update-pciids, then reboot, then lspci again06:32
babycapsuleit may work, or may not06:32
babycapsulemake sure that you have the lastest pci database on your debian06:33
BatshuaI have to reboot? Okay. Hrm.06:33
BatshuaInstead of rebooting, I'm gonna shut down and reseat the card first.06:33
BatshuaIt SHOULD be fine, but it's not seeing it.06:33
babycapsulejust do it, it's free06:33
BatshuaAnd I'm running bleeding edge here.06:33
Batshuabbiaf.06:33
babycapsulemaybe your tuner is new06:34
BatshuaOh, it's not.06:34
babycapsuleahh?06:34
BatshuaI mean, it is, but it replaced the same model I had 2 years ago.06:34
BatshuaIirc, it's an HVR-125006:34
babycapsuleno idea06:34
BatshuaMy old one broke in transit, so I got a new one.06:34
BatshuaBut last time I used one, I was tuning through the cable box06:35
Batshuaso I've never set up this card as a capture device before.06:35
Batshuabbiaf. waiting for the box to shut down so I can reseat the card.06:35
babycapsuleyou should buy a turner that linux can support06:35
babycapsulegreat06:35
* babycapsule crosses fingers06:36
BatshuaIt was totally supported when I bought it.06:43
BatshuaThat's why I picked it.06:43
BatshuaI ran lspci again and I think maybe it still can't see it.06:44
BatshuaIt would say something like "tv tuner card" in lspci, yes?06:45
babycapsulelspci works only when your bios can see the turner06:48
babycapsuleyou have to make sure this at the beginning - enable your pci bridge chip in the bios06:49
babycapsulethere is no native pci onboard these days06:50
BatshuaOkay… hrm.06:51
babycapsuledid you see and pci bridge chip in lspci?06:52
babycapsuleif not, this is the problem06:53
BatshuaYes, I did.06:53
babycapsulehahaha, i see...06:53
Batshuathere's like 5 of them06:53
BatshuaI lied. six.06:54
babycapsuleyour truner is designed for working with a ac97 codec06:54
babycapsulebut your mobo has a intel hda codec06:54
BatshuaUhm.06:55
BatshuaDoes that mean I'm screwed?06:55
babycapsulei think, you should return it and buy a newer turner06:55
BatshuaLike, seriously what does that mean?06:55
babycapsuleseems to be06:55
BatshuaCripes.06:56
BatshuaI totally don't have the box anymore.06:56
BatshuaThat sucks.06:56
babycapsulea old turner card have to catch the interrupts of ac97...06:56
babycapsulebut your mobo is using a intel hda codec (for hd video and audio)06:56
BatshuaOkay, so any idea what cards out there would work better?06:57
BatshuaI'd hate to go through this again just to find out the card isn't going to work. :.06:58
babycapsulemaybe a turner that "designed for windows 7"06:58
babycapsuleBatshua, you may sell it to next victim on ebay06:58
BatshuaIt wasn't so expensive that I can't hand it off to some random hobbyist.06:59
babycapsuleBatshua, or install it to your old pc06:59
BatshuaIt worked on my last mobo; it didn't even occur to me that it wouldn't work on this one.06:59
BatshuaHAHA WHAT OLD PC.06:59
BatshuaI wish I had a spare box to throw this into.06:59
babycapsuleyour grandma's pc, for example06:59
BatshuaNo seriously I don't know someone with an old computer who could run it.07:00
babycapsuleshe would say you are a good kid07:00
BatshuaPfft.07:00
BatshuaMy grandmother doesn't HAVE a computer. Seriously… *searches newegg*07:01
babycapsulesuch as... a amd k7 pc07:01

Batshuathis is a bit more than I'd like to spend07:01
BatshuaGee, thanks, Zinn! I didn't realize you were so smart!07:01
babycapsuleumm07:01
babycapsuledo you think you are smarter than me?07:02
babycapsulenow07:02
BatshuaNot you, ZINN!07:02
BatshuaI thought the bot was much stupider than that.07:02
BatshuaOkay, uh, the card I'm using now is ostensibly win7 ready.07:03
BatshuaSo what the hell does that mean?07:03
ZinnBatshua: Please watch your language.07:03
babycapsulei think, a out-of-box tv turner (linux supported) is a better choice07:03
BatshuaAre they lying? or is that a bad metric for figuring out if it'll work or not?07:03
BatshuaIt WAS supported.07:03
BatshuaNow it's not?07:03
* Batshua is confused again07:03
babycapsulethat means you have to wait07:04
babycapsulea hacker would write the driver for you07:04
BatshuaRight. Okay. assuming that would NOT happen, what's currently supported?07:05
babycapsulethere is a site called 'linux hal'07:05
babycapsuleyou may try your luck07:05
babycapsuleBatshua, kill the salesman? =_=07:06
Batshuafrom freedesktop.org?07:06
Batshuathey might have support right now, you mean?07:06
Zinn[freedesktop.org] freedesktop.org - Home07:06
babycapsulecheck the hardware list that linux supports07:07
babycapsulei think, it's unlikely...07:07
babycapsulethe salesman might say: if you don't like, just write your own driver07:09
Batshuaare you telling me my motherboard's too new?!07:13
babycapsulenot sure, you don't say something about it yet07:14
babycapsulecan this turner work on windows 7?07:15
babycapsule(yes?)07:15
Batshuahttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681313178107:15
BatshuaYes, it's supposed to work on win7.07:15
Zinn[www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS07:15

BatshuaThe BIOS is very …07:20
babycapsulebuggy?07:20
Batshualike, it's pretty.07:20
BatshuaI don't like it.07:20
BatshuaIt has lots of shiny graphics and eye candy.07:20
babycapsulehahaha, at your own risk07:20
* babycapsule wants a stable pc07:20
babycapsulewait.... if it's made at 2008, how can it support win7?07:22
BatshuaDriver update?07:22
BatshuaI told you, it's an old card.07:22
BatshuaIt was old the first time I bought it.07:23
BatshuaIt already had linux support back then.07:23
BatshuaThat's why I obught it again when the last one broke.07:23
babycapsulei hope somebody a hacker can repeat this magic on linux07:24
babycapsulemaybe they swap the chips out07:24
babycapsulelike ocz did in their ssds07:25
babycapsulesame model, different chips (for costdown?)07:25
