I find that I write much more clearly than I talk in person. And non-native speakers typically read more fluently than they can listen. Add to that your soft speaking voice and the fact that you make everything seem exactly logical and understandable when you’re there in front of me (but I lose it as soon as you’re not there). I recommend you write what you can, then explain as well.

Good luck!

Sorry it took do long to get back to you (1 week). Yes I just got the hvr-950q working again yesterday after trying the new Ubuntu 11.10 beta and going back to 11.04 after too much aggravation. Your request prompted me to start a website (my first attempt ever !) http://www.ubuntubut.com Do me the favor of visiting it where I put my notes of how to install the hvr-950q using MythTV, and a lot more. I have google tracking and I would love to see more visitors.

I got it working YEAH!

Feel free to advise me of how to make it better or how it worked well for you. I hope it helps.

But that’s really only one manufacturing solution being applied to many different small firms with different product ideas, rather than a proliferation of new manufacturing solutions. That’s somewhat more difficult to arrive at – there aren’t any current market incentives for such a thing to happen. An entirely new product is one thing, but an entirely new manufacturing process has some very high barriers to entry, and would be a highly speculative venture. Now, that isn’t to say that you can’t find a small firm willing to take the risks – but with the limited liability model, its the investors (or the bank) that takes the risk. Banks are not known for their love of highly speculative ventures – which is not to say that they still don’t manage to make terrible decisions anyway – and investor psychology can be all over the place – and both of these things are representative of the mighty powers of capital that you’d understandably rather not have to appease.

The way to lower the barriers to entry would be the design and manufacture of tools by the current capital-holders that could be used by the new manufacturers to develop their processes – but that presents a chicken/egg problem; the current capital-holders have no reasons to design tools aimed at small firms developing new manufacturing processes until such firms exist and are ready to write checks; the small firms have no reason to open until the tools exist.

One potential policy solution would combine the emergence of 3D printers and CAD/M, either open-sourced or licensed, to allow an initial proliferation, and then implement a small-business favoring change in the corporate tax code with a several-financial-quarter delay before implementation, giving the small boys time to announce their intent to get in the game and giving the big boys time to assess their new customer base and develop new tools to sell.

The link to the bell labs implementation you mention is broken. Could you also mention the name of the author so it’s easier to find this using google?

I’ve been for over two weeks finding out what was wrong with my project and Tomcat 6.

This post saved me. I tried removing catalina.jar, and this solution didn’t work for me. In my case I removed from WEB-INF/lib the libraries: naming-factory.jar, naming-factory-dbcp.jar, naming-resources.jar from my project.

Once again, thanks a lot for the advice!!!!!

Hope you don’t mind, figured I would post another update for googlers.

I installed 2 950q’s in my mac mini and I can use one on analog and one on digital! Seems something is messed up with MythTV now both inputs on the same card do not work at the same time.

Now I’m just trying to get the audio to work and I’m golden!

Yeah looks like the two files solved my problem. Analog doesn’t work with the new PPA unfortunately. I don’t think it is worth my time to get it work when Analog goes dead in my area in about a month and a half. Thanks for your help.

For anyone googling that finds this. I have a Mac Mini 2.1 with 2gig of ram and 2.0Ghz intel core 2 duo processor. It runs Ubuntu with MythTV, able to playback 1 HDTV show and record 2 simultaneously. CPU utilization is around 40%. I cannot do picture in picture very well, it can show both shows, but pausing causes the other to jump like crazy as it can’t keep up the processing.

In general this is a great setup for mythtv and was relatively painless to setup.

I have other files in that directory that I didn’t create, too. Not sure why you don’t, but hopefully just creating them will do the trick for you (after a reboot).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.24 — good
sudo apt-get update — good
sudo apt-get install 2:0.24.1+fixes.20110609.4dec7cf-0ubuntu0mythbuntu3

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks!

While I have your attention how did you get the 950q to even work initially? I found lots of suggestions about setting the xc5000.conf in /etc/modprobe.d to be debug=1 and power_off = 1 but Natty doesn’t have any config files under that folder.

I ended up unplugging the device, typing rmmod xc5000 then re-inserting and typeing modprobe xc5000 power_off=1 debug=1 But I have to do this anytime I reboot etc.

Is there a better way?

That one worked for me. Apparently the V4L2/V4L patch that seemed to be the cause of my problem was removed (see revision 442 at https://code.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/mythtv/mythtv-fixes).

So, I guess my saga is at an end . I’ll just use the PPA until the main repo gets updated.

So, for example, line 1141 in NuppelVideoRecorder.cpp was
#ifdef USING_V4L
but should be
#if defined(USING_V4L) || defined(USING_V4L2)
etc.

Sorry about that .
