Sorry for the much delayed reply. I finally had time to look at my mythtv box.

I was able to ssh into my box and try to fine-tune the analog channels, but it doesn't seem like what i did made any difference. The screenshot I posted a few posts up is the same quality that I get for my current setup ...

I bought my pixma printer about 2 months ago and i've been trying, and failing, to get this thing working in gentoo (amd64).

I've installed the cnijfilter-3.00.ebuild which is supposed to support the mp190 printer.
In addition to that i've installed the emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r2.ebuild with popt ...

I recently upgraded to kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 (actually went from x86 to amd64 on a fresh install) and now i kind of have the analog working. well i get all the channels but they are not clear. I have a screenshot here:

I went diving into my kernel becuase I was starting to think something in there was wrong. Changed some things around (added/subtracted) and now my DTV still works and i think my analog kinda works.

What happens during "mythtv-setup" is i can scan for my cable channels and it adds only the ones ...

a) My tv tuner is Hauppage WinTV HVR-1800

I've been searching around for an answer for this for a long time and have yet to find something that works.

I have mythtv installed and basically working. The only problem is that I cannot watch cable TV. I have all the digital channels over the air through an antenna working. I can watch those ...

Thanks for all your help.

I got all the dbug options out of my kernel for usb and it seems to be working great.

NeddySeagoon-

thanks for all your help. I found a USB2.0 pci card in my box of old computer parts, plugged that in and plugged my webcam into it. I can now use my multireader with everything plugged in.

I was doing a few speed tests, and i was wondering if ~2MB/s is typical for a 4GB 45X CF card ...

I unplugged my usb webcam and everything started to work. I copied 1.6GB of pictures off of my CF card without a problem.

One question I have now is, can I set my webcam to be on its own root usb hub and my keyboard, mouse, card reader on the other hub so i don't have to keep unplugging my webcam?

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my situation i've been having for quite some time now.

I have an internal multimedia reader which works fin in windows but when i am running my gentoo install my SD and CF are unstable. They unmount/mount themselves all the time. Sometimes i can copy 10 ...

Hey col just an FYI (at least this happened to me anyways)

This was the 1st time i saw this article and tried it out but it kept failing until i realized that the ebuild was calling for the previous patch. It's not calling for 20658, it's calling for 20549.

i followed the directions on this link and am now able to see a giant list of screensavers installed but now i have another problem.

http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/HOWTO_Migrate_from_Xscreensaver_to_Gnome-Screensaver

Every time i open the screensaver application and change the screensaver my screen ...

i have gnome-screensaver installed with opengl use flag yet still only 4 screensavers show up

the screensavers that show up are:
cosmos
picture folder
pop art squares
floating feet

I've emerge electricsheep screensaver and it didn't show up in that list.

I'm running compiz if that makes any ...

i am using gnome

I've been searching for days for an answer but i have come up empty handed

I recently installed gentoo and i only have 4 screensavers.

If i install more they don't show up when i run System>>Preferences>>Screensaver

my system has the current Nvidia drivers installed and i think my xorg.conf is ...

i gave up on the "emerge world" command because i kept running into packages that wouldn't compile and i got frustraited and just gave up.

Alternatively i installed gentoo over my ubuntu install on my desktop and that wireless works with my same network and a same wpa_supplicant files. So i think ...

i already added the VIDEO_CARDS line to my make.conf file. unless i did it wrong

CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

I got about half way through installing and upgrading everything and then a package failed

this isn't the entire thing, but i think it has everything from where the error occured

i fixed the problem. Installed firefox-bin and everything is installing now. it will take a while

Here's a good one :


# emerge --sync
# emerge -auDNv world


With that you will update your box and I'm sure that you will have a kernel 2.6.27 somewhere.

After that you need to post that :


# cd /usr/src
# ls -la


With the content of that, I will give you the instruction to update your ...

would you be able to point me to a good how-to to upgrade my kernel?

i cannot deselect the RF switch subsystem support or Input layer to RF switch connector

It's not a switch, it's a touchbutton and the light is on. I thought of this too a while back and just now tried it with the light on and off with the same results
