| dubrun | Running Mythbuntu 12.04 and trying to get HDMI video working on an ASRock z68 w/ i5 2500k | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| dubrun | installed it with a VGA connection but moved it out to my living room after i set it up, i'm betting that's the problem | 00:38 |
| dubrun | but would love some troubleshooting help. I'm a linux n00b | 00:38 |
| windbuntu | is this something i can download and install similar to ubuntu, but so that i can watch tv free? | 04:44 |
| rhpot1991 | windbuntu: if you have a tv source then sure (cable, antenna, etc) | 05:09 |
| rhpot1991 | and a tv tuner to capture said tv source | 05:09 |
| windbuntu | i have cable tv | 05:09 |
| windbuntu | i would like to get rid of it if i can get free tv | 05:10 |
| windbuntu | i dont understand what mythbuntu actually is | 05:10 |
| rhpot1991 | windbuntu: http://www.mythbuntu.org/ | 05:11 |
| yuki-onna | rhpot1991: so if i re-installed all the stuff again with a dvi connection it might make it work maybe? | 05:13 |
| rhpot1991 | yuki-onna: no need to reinstall | 05:13 |
| rhpot1991 | just swap cables and reboot | 05:14 |
| yuki-onna | i changed vga cables | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | yuki-onna: no luck I take it? | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | try dvi then, or hdmi if you can | 05:14 |
| yuki-onna | and tried a dvi-hdmi connector and no dice | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | converter might cause problems | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | if you aren't having any luck its possible your tv isn't sending that information | 05:14 |
| rhpot1991 | what model? | 05:15 |
| yuki-onna | ummm | 05:15 |
| yuki-onna | it is a homebrew pc but, an asus m2nvp-vm board | 05:15 |
| rhpot1991 | nono, the tv | 05:15 |
| yuki-onna | samsung tv of some sort | 05:16 |
| yuki-onna | a 720p one, also tried my new monitor and it had no luck | 05:16 |
| yuki-onna | some acer thing with dvi (this machine), via, and hdmi | 05:17 |
| rhpot1991 | yuki-onna: if you can't get it to detect you will need to fill out /etc/X11/xorg.conf yourself | 05:18 |

| rhpot1991 | might be able to google something like xorg and your tv model and get a hit | 05:18 |
| yuki-onna | how do i do that | 05:18 |
| yuki-onna | hmmm | 05:18 |
| yuki-onna | will have to look | 05:19 |
| yuki-onna | but of snow i am tired an need sleep | 05:19 |
| rhpot1991 | there is an nvidia config utility you can use, but you need to get a working x session first | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | might be able to just pick a resolution like 800x600, get it working, then use that | 05:20 |
| rhpot1991 | yuki-onna: throw together a forum post and you might get some better specifics in there | 05:21 |
| rhpot1991 | !forums | 05:21 |

| qwebirc49060 | my dmesg gives this warning: (0) unknown ioctl on ctn91xx mpeg device (-2143521279) | 15:57 |
| qwebirc49060 | I could use some help connecting that ceton card to MythBuntu. Thanks | 15:58 |
| qwebirc49060 | my dmesg gives this warning: (0) unknown ioctl on ctn91xx mpeg device (-2143521279). Could this be why Mythbuntu cannot poll the device? | 16:09 |
| qwebirc49060 | Does anyone know if Mythbuntu will probe a Ceton Infinitv4 without a cable connection? | 16:26 |
| === yuki-onna_ is now known as yuki-onna | ||
| qwebirc49060 | Can someone help me add a ceton infinitv4 to mythbuntu's backend? | 19:09 |
