channels.conf for Hotbird
This channels.conf file has a channel for most of the transponders (is that the right word) on Hotbird (13 East). I import this in to MythTV then do a "Full scan of all transponders" and that loads in a bunch of channels.
MythTV .xsession and irxevent file for Myth
By now I'm sure my imaginary reading are tiring of my constant MythTV related ramblings probably good that they are imaginary then (they are also all hot girls)...
Anyway here's my MythTV account .xsession. It has a work around for a bug in the Nvidia driver (that puts a blue border round overlay videos), runs an xterm in the background (in the unlikely event that you need to fix the amazingly stable MythTV) and runs irxevent (which processes Infrared signals and throws out key presses). Finally it runs mythwelcome (a program which runs the mythtv frontend):
#!/bin/bash
xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 66048
metacity&
xterm&
./irxevent --daemon ~/irxevent.conf
mythwelcome
Here's the irxevent.conf I use with MythTV (and the lirc.conf I previously posted):
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyChanUp
repeat = 3
config = Key Up CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyChanDown
repeat = 3
config = Key Down CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyPower
config = Key Escape CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = Menu
config = Key M CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuUp
repeat = 3
config = Key W CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuRight
repeat = 3
config = Key D CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuDown
repeat = 3
config = Key S CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = MenuLeft
repeat = 3
config = Key A CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyPlay
config = Key KP_Enter CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key0
config = Key 0 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key1
config = Key 1 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key2
config = Key 2 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key3
config = Key 3 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key4
config = Key 4 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key5
config = Key 5 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key6
config = Key 6 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key7
config = Key 7 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key8
config = Key 8 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = key9
config = Key 9 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyVolDown
config = Key F10 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyVolUp
config = Key F11 CurrentWindow
end
begin
prog = irxevent
button = keyPause
config = Key P CurrentWindow
end
lirc config for a random remote
Obviously this isn't going to be useful for anyone but me. But I have this remote:
It's either from a Avermedia DVB-T receiver, a Twinhan DVB-T receiver or a Twinhan Starbox 2 DVB-S receiver. Anyway here's it's lirc config file which was a pain to create so I'm sticking it here in case I need it again. In order to create the config I needed to hold the remote right next to the receiver and cover it so no stray UV interfered with the signal. I used irrecord to record the button presses and create the config file. The following options were used:
Here's the resulting config:
Fascinating!

My LIRC startup script
For lirc compiled from source version 0.8.2. For Debian Lenny with serial lirc device, goes in /etc/rc2.d/S99lirc. You also need to load the lirc_dev module, add it to /etc/modules to load it automatically.
#!/bin/bash
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none
/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial
/usr/local/sbin/lircd --device /dev/lirc/0 /etc/lircd.conf

Making a program automatically restart
Mythbackend crashes a lot, well at least until you get your configuration stable (which has never happened to me). To create a usable system I wanted to configure myth to restart automatically when it crashes. Here's how I did it. First locate the mythbackend binary, mines in /usr/bin (Debian Lenny, debianmultimedia.org install). Rename it to mythbackend.real. Create a file in the same directory called mythbackend.run with the following contents:
Make sure it's executable. This script runs our renamed mythbackend ten times in a row (we're only going to restart mythbackend 10times). Then create a file called mythbackend with the following contents:
Again make it executable. This just fires off our mythbackend.run script in the backround. So there you go!
#!/bin/bash
myvar=0
while [ $myvar -ne 10 ]
do
echo $myvar
mythbackend.real
myvar=$(( $myvar + 1 ))
done
Make sure it's executable. This script runs our renamed mythbackend ten times in a row (we're only going to restart mythbackend 10times). Then create a file called mythbackend with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash
mythbackend.run&
Again make it executable. This just fires off our mythbackend.run script in the backround. So there you go!
Lazy mans udev fixed device names
One of the constant annoyances of USB devices under Linux is that they don't get assigned fixed names. In my case I have two USB digital TV receiver cards, one for satellite and another of digital terrestrial. They can be accessed though the device directories: /dev/dvb/adapter0 and /dev/dvb/adapter1. However you never know which will be which and in order for MythTV to work correctly they need to fix these. For example adapter0 must always be the DVB-T and 1 the DVB-S. There is a long and complicated explanation of how to modify the udev rules to do something not entirely unlike this here: http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Device_Filenames_and_udev
however, I can't figure out how to get it to work in my case (dvb devices have a more complicated directory structure) so I made this quick hack.
First you need to make sure that udev no longer maps your DVB cards to /dev/dvb/adapter0/1 but rather /dev/dvb/adapter_real0/1. On Debian you can do this by modifying /etc/udev/rules/udev.rules changing the line that reads:
KERNEL=="dvb*", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter%%i/%%s $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}", ACTION=="add", \
NAME="%c"
to:
KERNEL=="dvb*", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter_real%%i/%%s $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}", ACTION=="add", \
NAME="%c"
Now create an rc script to assign the fixed device names and place it somewhere in your startup directories. In my case I needed to make it start before mythbackend so I created the file /etc/rc2.d/S23dvbsyms (remember to make it executable) with the following contents:
#dvbs
if [[ `udevinfo -a -p /class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0 | grep UDST702X -c` == "1" ]]
then
echo "DVBS is adapter 0"
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter_real0 /dev/dvb/adapter1
fi
if [[ `udevinfo -a -p /class/dvb/dvb1.frontend0 | grep UDST702X -c` == "1" ]]
then
echo "DVBS is adapter 1"
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter_real1 /dev/dvb/adapter1
fi
#dvbt
if [[ `udevinfo -a -p /class/dvb/dvb0.frontend0 | grep VP7041 -c` == "1" ]]
then
echo "DVBT is adapter 0"
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter_real0 /dev/dvb/adapter0
fi
if [[ `udevinfo -a -p /class/dvb/dvb1.frontend0 | grep VP7041 -c` == "1" ]]
then
echo "DVBT is adapter 1"
ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter_real1 /dev/dvb/adapter0
fi
udevinfo -a -p /class/dvb/dvbX.frontend0 dumps a bunch of information about the device, including product codes. I then grep for these and create a symlink to the real device accordingly. You can find the class path to use with udevinfo with:
udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/video0)
Where /dev/video0 is the device your after in /dev. One you've put these scripts in place the devices will get fixed names as boot. Of course this doesn't help much if you are plugging in and removing devices but it's a hack that works well enough for me.

dvb-usb-vp702x-02.fw
This is the firmware file for a Twinham Starbox 2 USB DVB-S receiver. For some reason it's not on the linuxtv website. It's closed source, and I'm probably not allowed to distribute it. However you'll need it if you want to get a Twinham Starbox working under linux. Here is it: http://www.gamesrant.com/linuxjunk_pics/dvb-usb-vp702x-02.fw

Nvidia driver installation on Debian Lenny 2.6.21-2
Using the Nvidia driver installer you get the error:
This basically means Linux people don't like you compiling non-GPL code against the kernel. I guess that's fair I blame Nvidia. Anyway from what I understand it's all being put back so we can install evil code nice an easily in 2.6.22. But for now you need to patch some of the kernel build scripts. Here's a list of instructions for Debian, bastardised from the Redhat version at: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=87541:
You will also need to install the X11 nvidia driver the easiest way to do this is to run the nvidia installer with the "--no-kernel-module" flag ie:
Then update your xorg.conf (you can use nvidia-xconfig to do this for you). It appears to be working... but I'm now trying to get it configured to do TV Out...

error: cannot compute sizeof (char) with configure
I received the error "cannot compute sizeof (char)" from a configure script when using the Pathscale compiler. Turned out I was using pathcc (I guess the c compiler) instead of pathCC (I guess C++).

Resuming a crashed scp transfer
Mercilessly robbed from here: http://joen.dk/wordpress/?p=34
scp doesn't have a resume option, so continue the transfer with rsync:
This isn't encrypted like scp though, in order to do that you need to tell rsync to use ssh as it's shell. The following example uses rsync to transfer a file over ssh with ssh running on a nonstandard port on localhost (like you might setup with a tunnel):
scp doesn't have a resume option, so continue the transfer with rsync:
rsync --partial --progress source dest
This isn't encrypted like scp though, in order to do that you need to tell rsync to use ssh as it's shell. The following example uses rsync to transfer a file over ssh with ssh running on a nonstandard port on localhost (like you might setup with a tunnel):
rsync --partial --progress --rsh="ssh -p 2250 " -r MyDirectory new@localhost:/media/stuff

iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen USB Dock pinout
yea, not Linux related but it is junk!
For USB I'm using the pin assignments from here. If your using this for anything important you might want to check I did it right....

Nokia 770 Dual MMCs
Looks like the 770 will recognise 2 MMC cards connected to the MMC bus. However according to fanoush on the internettablettalk forum this may not be a great idea as: "they will run in legacy MMC mode (max 20MHz) and there may be bugs since this was never widely used." post here.
Anyway, here's how the wiring looks. Obviously if you intend to do this you need to figure out how to mount everything:
dmesg output:
and mounting:
again, this is currently with the stock tablet 2006 kernel. I also tried with an SD card and an MMC, that didn't appear to work, only the SD card to recognised (the other card didn't appear in dmesg). I've not yet tested how stable this is, just mounted the cards to check it works in principle.
