Apr 21st

Posted by Nerdy in Xbox

The Xbox 360 Elite was meant to be officially released on the 29th April 2007 but it looks like Wal-Mart couldn’t hold back and have started selling them.

The Xbox 360 Elite comes with:

  • The long awaited HDMI port
  • HDMI Cable
  • 120 GB Hard Drive
  • Audio Break-out Dongle
  • Standard Composite/Component/Audio Cable
  • Black Wireless Controller
  • Black Wired Headset

As to whether or not us Aussie’s will recieve the wired headset in out kit is another question.

The Elite is meant for release in Australia in winter.

 

MythTV on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 for Australia

Apr 1st

Posted by Nerdy in Linux

Here I intend to document how I setup MythTV on Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 for Australian Digital TV. I am using:

  • Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
  • AMD 3200XP CPU
  • Airstar 2 PCI DTV Card
  • Nova-T PCI DTV Card 

Ok, first thing, make sure your install of Ubuntu is up to date. If you have an orange icon near the clock. Click on it and install the updates. 

Also, for Australian users, got and sign up here for the TV Guide data.

Ubuntu File Server with over 2 TB in Software Raid 5

Initially the system will be configured for testing using:

  • Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard
  • 3200XP AMD CPU
  • 512MB DDR Ram
  • Multiple old hard drives lying around
  • DVD-Rom

I am installing Ubuntu 6.10 Alternate version so I can setup LVM (Local Volume Manager) on the drive Ubuntu is installed to. I am also going to stress test the

mdadm --grow

command on a raid 5 setup with live data. To stress test the system I will install MythTV and record digital television from 2 PCI DTV cards. The MythTV install will be documented separately.
