[17:56] <hank__> just loaded 15.04 having a great time
[17:56] <holstein> cheers
[17:57] <hank__> trying to get TV tuner to work.  Already rebuilt whole media.  Keep working on it
[17:58] <holstein> yup.. if they (they = the creators of the hardware) dont support linux, it can be challenging
[17:58] <holstein> you can go upstream for support, to #ubuntu or one of the communities that use capture cards like that
[17:58] <holstein> !mythbuntu
[17:58] <ubottu> Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information and #ubuntu-mythtv
[17:59] <holstein> you can look for, and purchase hardware with linux support in mind
[17:59] <holstein> otherwise, i say, grab different live iso's and see how things are supported. note kernel versions and drivers..
[17:59] <hank__> have Happhaghue dongle supposed to work,  wiki has bunch mumbo-jumbo.  I'll get it . Gotta compile,  arggggg.  gotta go I'm joined.  cheers
[18:00] <holstein> "supposed to" is the issue
[18:00] <holstein> if "they" dont promise linux support.. just keep in mind, nothing about linux/ubuntu is preventing it from working
[18:00] <holstein> we *want* it to work for you :)
[18:01] <hank__> uh-huh!  Their site has some linux help.  the 'ol wiki.  I'll get it.   Later
[18:01] <holstein> hank__: sure. let them know if its not working for you
[18:02] <holstein> if "some linux help" on the "ol wiki" ='d "official linux support for that particular device, hank would be in business :)
