Hi
thanks for the response, sorry I've been late in acknowledging (have been busy fixing an unrelated problem!)
Apologies if I am misunderstanding anything here, this isn't an area I know well...

Hi
thanks for the response, sorry I've been late in acknowledging (have been busy fixing an unrelated problem!)
Apologies if I am misunderstanding anything here, this isn't an area I know well...
XBMC is pretty easy to set up. You can tweak with it a lot if you want to, but you really don't have to do that, in my experience it works more or less out of the box.
You have the chance to tell...
Hi
For many years I have been recording UK Freeview programmes - most recently with MythTV - and then post-processing them into usable .mpg files for viewing on a variety of devices. This involves...
MythTV is a bit of a monster - very powerful, but hard to get to grips with and set up. If you go down this route, be prepared to spend at least a couple of weeks fiddling. When you're done, you...
Never mind - fixed it. As part of my thrashing around earlier trying to fix my keyring problem I had followed a direction to add "@include common-pamkeyring" to the end of /etc/pam.d/gdm ......
Ubuntu 11.04. I was trying to solve a problem with a keyring - there are loads of threads suggesting all sorts of things, which I was trying to follow with no success.
Eventually I deleted...
Never mind .... turned out to be an XBMC configuration issue - I needed to turn navigation sounds off (!!).
I guess I was misled into thinking it was an OS problem by being told the device was...
Ubuntu 11.04, with Myth 0.24 and XBMC 10.1. Hardware is an Asus P8H67-M Pro mobo which I bought specifically because it boasts an optical output, which I need to send 5.1 sound to my receiver.
My...
Yes, it could! Therein lies the usual learning - don't blindly put options you don't understand! I had added it at some point (in /etc/modules) and it seemed to take me forward at the time, but...
Thanks again. I had noticed that others in this thread with apparently identical boards have the nct chip.
I've now seen that the ...EHG is identical to the ...EHF part apart from packaging.
I...
Many thanks for the response - at it happens I was updating my post about the same time you were replying!
However, it seems that my board does NOT have an nct677xx chip, but does have a...
making progress ... "modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0x8860" was one step forward, the other was adding "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" ... though I am puzzled as to why adding it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in...
Update: I don't have an answer but have found a thread which at least discusses the problem (among others!). To avoid cross-posting please see...
At the risk of dragging the conversation back several pages, I have a problem which this thread was discussing a while back - getting sensors to work with an Asus P8H67-M PRO board. Pentium G620 CPU....
I'm trying to build an HTPC - therefore quiet - machine based on an ASUS P8H67-M PRO mobo (P620 CPU). My approach is to use lots of fans running at very low speed, as this should be more efficient in...
Both machines are running 11.04, perhaps I should add.
Any ideas?
Hello there!
I want to remotely monitor an HTPC I'm building: gkrellm seems like just the thing. I've installed gkrellmd (and gkrellm) on the HTPC, and also gkrellm on the machine I want to do the...
Thanks for the responses, though I don't think I am any further forward.
@dargaud: this is my root disk so I can't unmount it - it's the only partition live in this system. There are others on the...
Hi
Yes, I know there are already several threads on similar topics! I know that my 11.04 system should do a file system check every 30 boots, and that I can tune that number with tune2fs if I want...
@asez73 - let's not confuse the issue, this is nothing to do with Unity. I have switched one of my machines to Classic and the problem is exactly the same.
Any suggestions as to why this behaviour...
Update: I've tried switching from Unity desktop to Classic - no difference.
I have found that clicking and dragging on the desktop - to select, as it were - does have the effect of repainting....
I have been successfully using VNC to control a couple of Linux boxes from my Windows PC for some time ... using TightVNCViewer on Windows and the default vnc server at Linux. All machines on my...
Update - coffeecat, you were quite right. I downloaded a live CD for 11.04, booted off it and gparted saw the new drive straight away. Formatting right now! Looks like I'll have to do the proper...
@oldfred ... I just had a look to see if there were any jumpers I could set but no, there are no physical settings at all on these drives.
In the meantime I just moved my root drive and one of the...
Thanks for the quick response. As I said in my first post, the BIOS is recognising the new discs, and I already tried Legacy and Native modes, which is what is on offer.
As I write I am continuing...
