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.		 My name is Seif Lotfy and I have been using Ubuntu since October 2004.

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. 		I started contributing to [[http://beatniksoftware.com/gimmie/Main_Page/|Gimmie]] 2 years ago until its maintainer decided to cease development. I am actively involved in [[http://seilo.geekyogre.com/projects/mayanna/|Mayanna]]. October 2008 I became a GNOME foundation member and started/founded the [[http://live.gnome.org/GnomeZeitgeist|GNOME Zeitgeist]] Project, which I am currently democratically maintaining.

= 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
