I installed Mythbuntu 9.04

updated it

sudo -s
apt-get install hg-buildpackage
cd /usr/local/src
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
cd linux/include/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/compiler.h ./
cd ../../../
make
make install
depmod -a
reboot (might be an other way of restarting services butthis was fast enough.. :) )


worked for me... although without upgrading mythtv to 0.22 (beta) there won't be much HD as I understood.. still strugeling enough.. :) have tv on this installation so i am getting close.

Hi, here's just another success - story :)

I tried the way koe71 wrote in this thread - and it works:)

My system is a Asus M4N78 Pro with an AMD 5050e, 4GB ram (3.2GB usable) and an Asus EN9400GT silent.

I'm running Mythbuntu 9.04 with the latest updates and the NVidia driver 180.? installed.

SD channels are working in a good quality, signal strength is 0% s/n ratio is 2.2dB - so the signal strength is nonsense, with my cheap dvb-s card I had about 70% and s/n about 4dB. But that's no problem as long as it works.

Another thing I discovered is that CPU load increases up to about 70% on both cores if I try to watch a HD channel. But basicly it works - but only for a few seconds, then the screen freezes.

Interesting for my opinion is that the decryption - which should be available implemented in my Asus EN9400GT (VDPAU?) is not working, so the CPU has to do the job. Maybe the freezing results on my CPU, mybe I'd need a more powerful one? Against that thesis stands that the load is not 100%

If I can do sth (testing?) for bringing support for the SkyStar HD2 into the next MythBuntu version just contact me.

Yesterday I installed Mythbuntu 9.10 alpha 6 and also installed the liplianin-s2 driver. It installed without problems but it's not working.
Maybe due to the Kernel update to 2.6.31-9? Under 2.6.28-15 it worked as described before.

now 9.10 is out the procedure changed a bit.... :)
Have fun.


sudo -s
apt-get install libncurses5-dev hg-buildpackage
cd /usr/local/src
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
cd linux/include/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/linux/compiler.h ./
cd ../../../
make menuconfig
unselect the folowing module:
multimedia support-> DVB/ATSC Adapter -> Firetv/Floppydtv
make
make install
depmod -a
reboot (might be an other way of restarting services but this was fast enough.. :smile: )


did not do it myself.. just a gatherer.....
