I'd like to take a few minutes for Show and Tell. I'll show you pieces of equipment, and you tell me what they are. Think of it as the game segment of the meeting. We'll all be surprised.

Hello all, I will have my eeepc701 with me which is running Gentoo with the 2.26 kernel if anyone wants to see how that is working out/was set up.

Hey all, I've got Ibex(Alpha) on my test notebook and I've just locked the display at 1024X768 at 60 HZ and I will be bringing it to the meeting.

Re: [Wlug] Mythtv Hardware

by Jared Greenwald

Just realized that I didn't make it clear that I'm not giving this away for free. I was planning on putting it up on eBay, not just "getting rid of it". Sorry for any confusion.

Not to treat the list as a place to hock my junk, but I've been contemplating getting rid of my unused CoolerMaster ATC-620BX case. I bought it back in 2005 for a planned HTPC box running mythtv, but I never got around to getting the rest of the components. (Plus I have a Series I Tivo with lifetime subscription, so it wasn't terribly urgent.) You can see a pic of it here (http://www.directron.com/howtoicsatc620.html) Let me know if you're interested. -Jared On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 8:35 AM, <vze284qe(a)verizon.net> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'd like to know what Wlug'ers are recommending for mythtv hardware > these days.

Mythtv Hardware

by vze284qe＠verizon.net

Hello all, I'd like to know what Wlug'ers are recommending for mythtv hardware these days. I already have a Hauppauge PVR-350 TV capture card. I'd like to build a low-profile quiet mythtv box that I can put next to a standard TV (not hi-def). What do people recommend? What about disk space? Ideally, I'd like something about the size of the mac-mini, but I don't think I can use a mac-mini as a mythtv backend. I already have a mythbuntu box, but it's big, noisy, and not suitable for what I'm looking for. Any ideas?? -- -Chuck

Upcoming meeting - a potential topic - on Wed Oct 15th 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI all, I was hoping that we could talk about the upcoming Intrepid Ibex release of (K)Ubuntu. I loaded this software onto my laptop, but unfortunately, I cannot get dual monitors working, and that means the projector won't work with my laptop in its current state. I've seen a lot of bug reports and complaining about this problem, but nothing that I've tried will make it work. If/when I do get it working, I'll bring my laptop to the meeting, but it is not looking promising. Failing that, as a backup, if anybody has a laptop that is running this software, and has its output VGA port configured for 1024x768@60Hz (and tested prior to the meeting!), and would like to lead a discussion, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm open to other suggestions. Note that whatever the topic, our meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th, at 7:00 PM. See ya there! Thanks!
