I installed Miro. When I try to run it, I get this error:

I just threw $50 at it. I bought an IguanaIR. Should be at my house in a couple of days. I've had enough of messing with this CommandIR mini, and I'm not dropping 100+ bucks on a new one.

I'm seeing this in my /var/log/messages file:

Yes, I tried irw. Whenever I try to use IRW or send signals with the transmitter I get the same message:

Feb 10 10:06:05 cadderly lircd-0.8.6[8124]: Unable to claim CommandIR - Is it already busy?

I have just upgraded my MythTV box to a new kernel. Everything is working great except for my CommandIR Mini. I've upgraded lirc to version 0.8.6-r2.

I have USE="transmitter" & LIRC_DEVICES="commandir cmdir"

When I:

Has anybody used lirc with it? I'm thinking about adding this as a plugin to my MythTV box and am wondering how that might go.

Take a look here . This was discussed on the user list.

It works great on a Phenom X3 @ 720p, not so much on an Athlon 5050e @ 1080 using xf86-video-radeonhd on both ...

Has anybody used lirc with it? I'm thinking about adding this as a plugin to my MythTV box and am wondering how that might go.

I have a setup with a main server and several other boxes. (MythTV) I have just finished setting up WOL following the guide at gentoo-wiki . Is there a good way to wake up an individual computer without having to remember it's MAC address? I'm thinking there must be some way to put them in a file ...

Is my solution to wait for an updated ebuild? It doesn't bother me if I can't fix it. (I did install the ~amd64 version, it is my own fault) I'm not much for writing ebuilds, etc, but if there is a simplier or at least documented way to fix it, I would be willing to try that. Should I submit a bug ...

I'm trying to use Steam with wine on an amd64 system. I installed it using the guide at gentoo-wiki . It seemed to install fine, and it starts up fine, asking me for username and password, etc. It accepts that, but then a window pops up telling me:

"This application is trying to show an HTML page ...

I feel like an idiot replying to my own post so quickly. I kept trying channel 122. After I switched to trying channel 120, I noticed that the two numbers coming across were 10. It was going too fast to read the middle one. I increased my delay to .5 and now it works flawlessly everytime.

My bad ...

I'm having problems with my channel change script. I'm using a commandir IR blaster. I seem to have everything complied correctly and working. I can send commands to the Dish Network box that I have and it receives them. My problem comes when I try to send a three digit channel number. The first one ...

Here's another way
convert -resize '640x480>' $picture "/home/cbrodine/Digital_Frame/${picture##*/}"
The ${picture##*/} will strip the maximum amount of prefix matching pattern "*/"

I tried it out, and it works great! Thanks for the help!

My skills in bash have be increased by +1 thanks to you.

I'm trying to write a bash script, and I can't figure out what I need to do here.

I have a directory for images of varying sizes that are displayed on my personal webpage with linpha. They are several different sizes and orientations. I recently bought a digital picture frame that takes an SD card ...

Sometimes I like Kinkos if you are printing a big document and want nicer paper and binding, but to each their own.

Don't places like Kinkos, etc, print out large documents for a price? I'm sure they could bind it and everything. We have a local place around here that I've used to print online manuals before, when I wanted them in a "book" version.

If you got to the MythTV Wiki, under User Systems you can see several people's setups that they have running. (Including mine )

Several people even have links to their stuff on Newegg, so you can pretty much just click and buy if you really want to, but where's the fun in that?

Enjoy your Myth ...

I can't say for sure if it comes with DVD support, but I believe that it does. (MythDora anyway, not sure about Knoppmyth) I have a friend who just installed MythDora, and I'm pretty sure he didn't need to get online to get DVD support. It seems to come with the large majority of codes already ...

I know you aren't looking for TV playback, etc, but you might try looking at MythTV. If you just ignore setting up the capture card stuff, you can always use all the default plugins to play videos, listen to music, look at pictures, watch DVDs, browse the web, etc.

I'm probably not a very good ...

Nope, I am a member though. Power society, so I have an excuse for not knowing much about computers

I like the emblem, cause it is a bit obscure. Congrats on graduating too!

You are a lifesaver! I wasn't able to use your file, but reinstalling portage from the link you provided did the trick! Thanks!

No matter what file I try to emerge, I get an error along the lines of "Failed to create .keep" no matter what I try to emerge.

What do I do to fix this? What can I post to provide more information? I don't know where to start on this one.

Here's an example of when I try to emerge portage. Any ...

I have a brand new install of CS:S on my gentoo server. It's an AMD Athlon with 1 gig of ram. It's an old dell box that was turned in to an all purpose file/web/gaming server for a LAN.

I installed it following this guide from the Gentoo Wiki

My command line is:
