All well and good, but I use Karmic, and I'm not in the Boxee beta yet. I was hoping to use Hulu Desktop as a stopgap, but... well... I don't think that's going to work out.

I did the same thing not too long ago, replacing a socket 939, NForce4-based motherboard with a socket AM2+, AMD 780G motherboard; had no problems whatsoever. Linux seems to be rather resilient that...
Is anybody else experiencing painfully slow video playback in Hulu Desktop? I'm running it on an Athlon x2 4850e, and it drops frames left and right. As well, remote response is sluggish while...
It's not out yet, but it sounds like the Open Pandora will be exactly what you want.
Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.
I'm going to be swapping the motherboard in my HTPC soon... I know that when using Windows, it's pretty much a necessity to do a reinstall when going to a different motherboard. How about with...
Decided to try 64-bit; problem is now even worse. Same video quality problems, but now Mythfrontend crashes when I try to exit live tv. On the plus side, I can definitively say the issue isn't with...
Hi all. I'm using Mythbuntu 9.04 32-bit on my living room PC, and I'm having a few issues with a new tuner I just installed, a Hauppauge HVR-1600. I'm using it with a GeForce 6200 video card, and...
The plot thickens... the IR blaster doesn't seem to be blasting at all. I've tried 2 different blasters, and neither one of them seems to show up on my cell phone camera (which does pick up IR; I...
OK, the error message has disappeared from mythbackend.log, but the channel still isn't changing. Anything else I can try?
I'll second this; I've got an 80GB WD Drive from either 2001 or 2002, and it still works fantastically; it makes a "click" when it spins up, but no crashes or data loss. It's currently in my mom's...
Need a little help setting up my Mythbuntu box...
I'm trying to use Mythbuntu with a DirecTV D12-100 box, and not having much success. I'm using an IR blaster hooked to a Media Center remote...
Thanks, but that was the first thing I thought of. Unfortunately, one of said apps is a Java applet that doesn't seem to have this option. Is there a way to do this that doesn't necessarily depend...
Worst case scenario: reinstall from the LiveCD. When you get to the partitioner, select "Manual". For each partition, right-click, select Edit, and uncheck Format, then set up your mountpoints...
Hey, trying to autostart a couple of apps on session start in the background on my Mythbuntu box. The problem is, about half the time, they start after MythTV, and thus the windows appear in front...
How about if I do most of my gaming via Crossover?
We've all heard the common wisdom... ATI's drivers are crap, stick with nVidia under Linux, yadda yadda. But I'm going to be in the market for a budget card very soon, and with the low prices on the...
Unfortunately, laptops are extremely tricky for upgrades like this. And no, there's no easy way to replace the power supply on a laptop.
Have you tried updating your BIOS/firmware yet? If that...
Hello all. I'm trying to capture from a bt848a card using VLC, but the picture I'm getting is really strange. It's all green, off vertically, has scanlines all through it, and jumps around like...
Try updating the motherboard to the latest firmware. A lot of times, older firmware won't support a dual core chip. I had to do that with my socket 939 board.
Do you know what chipset your...
Hello, all.
I'm looking for a good quality Media Center remote I can use with a Mythbuntu rig. It has to work well under Linux (of course), and support IR blasters (that also work under Linux, of...
OK, back to the remedial class for me...
I'm having trouble starting Mythbuntu on a rig I'm building. I get the splash screen with progress bar, but nothing after that; the system just seems to...
You might need to open up the ports used by YPOPs on the firewall; go to terminal and enter the following:
sudo ufw allow 5110
sudo ufw allow 5025
That should open the ports for POP3 and...
Yeah, after 4 blissfully Windows-free months, I just set up a dual-boot to run Spore Creature Creator... I feel your pain.
Anyway, for firewall, I still stick with ZoneAlarm Free. It's not quite...
Thanks for the link... unfortunately, the program's in such an alpha state as to be nearly useless without massive reorganizing of my MP3 collection, and it's apparently discontinued, so it's not...
