About me

My name is Seif Lotfy and I'm from Cairo/Egypt. I am 23 and studying Computational Engineering at TU-Darmstadt (Germany). I have been using Ubuntu since October 2004 when it was released. (I also ordered some CDs to test if I would actually get them). I am really into robots too and i have been participating with the GermanTeam at the RoboCup since 2006.

Projects

I am trying to start a project called Ubuntu GUI Team. My intention is to develop GUIs for text command line/terminal based applications. If interested please contact me. I am also working on the Gimmie Panel (that is how I learned python) and finally got an svn account WOHOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I am a co-founder and member of the SuperDataDaemonThing Development Team http://live.gnome.org/SuperDataDaemonThing, a collaboration between various open source developers to provide a common data access layer for the free desktop.

Howto's

Howto install Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1100 under Ubuntu(Edgy)

This howto is for installing Hauppuage WinTV HVR 1100 under Ubuntu "might work for other wintv cards" no guarantee though...

I used this froum its in french though --> http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=73834&p=1

Here we go first check if your card got detected 

  • lspci

you should get something like: 

  • 0000:00:12.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7133 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 6701
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
        Memory at eb101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

first make sure you have the packacges required for the configuration of the card, open a console and type: 

  • sudo apt-get install build-essential mercurial linux-headers-`uname -r` dvb-utils

then get the v4l-dvb files: 

  • cd /opt/
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
make
sudo make install
sudo -s

then modprobe: 

  • sudo modprobe -r saa7134-alsa saa7134-dvb saa7134 && sudo modprobe saa7134 card=101 && sudo modprobe saa7134-dvb
echo "saa7134-dvb" >> /etc/modules

now get the firmware compatible with your card from http://thadathil.net:8000/dvb/ then "sudo" copy it to /lib/firmware 

  • sudo reboot

I think that was it use scantv or mythtv to scan for channels i will wrtie a tutorial as soon as i get to it
