December 1st 2006

My old laptop has crashed, and I decided to chuck in the garbage bin. This means that I no longer have an orinoco-usb device. Hence, I will stop maintaining the script which creates orinoco-usb rpms.

There has been a few changes to the latest orinoco_usb code, and I have yet to figure out how to include the firmware in the driver itself. Users of kernels 2.6.17 and above must now download the firmware and put it the appropriate folder. You can check the kernel version with

$ uname -r

Download the firmware with following statement

wget -c http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/orinoco-usb/orinoco_ezusb_fw

On openSUSE 10.2 it should probably go in /lib/firmware. I have no way to check this since i no longer have an orinoco-usb device.

I changed my mind and created a set of MythTV packages 0.20 for SUSE 10.1. The packages at packman do miss a few things like running the backend as ordinary user or configuring the mythbackend using Yast.

September 12th 2006

MythTV 0.20 has been released! I will no longer create MythTV packages since http://packman.links2linux.org/ provides MythTV for SUSE.

July 15th 2006

I've updated the orinoco build page. It applies to newer kernels (2.6.16? and above) and fixes this error:

/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: No such file or directory

May 16th 2006

The orinoco-usb build script now works with kernel 2.6.16. A rpm is available for SUSE 10.1 here. Furthermore, you can also find MythTV rpms for SUSE 10.1 from this link. An apt repository will be created soon.

My neighbors need do to protect their Wireless LANs a little better:)

March 15th 2006

My orinoco-usb build script does not work with kernel 2.6.15 and above. I'll fix it when SUSE 10.1 is released.

February 12th 2006

MythTV 0.19 has been released. You can find rpms here. 64 bit packages will hopefully be available next week.

November 27th 2005

I got an e-mail about my MythTV-packages.The package mysql-shared is missing from mythtv-frontend's dependencies. mysql-shared must be installed, and it can be found on your installation media.

October 14th 2005

I have MythTV rpms for SUSE 10.0. You can either use apt, which can be found on your installation media or Yast. The Yast installation source is on the http-server

folk.uio.no

and located at

oeysteio/share/suse/10.0-olsen/

apt users need to download mythtv.list and copy it to the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

These sources include a recompiled version of lirc (and xine) which work with the Hauppage PVR (150, 250, 350 and 500) remote controls. The MythTV-rpms are from the 0.18.2 branch (subversion).

The mythweb packages requires that you edit /etc/php.ini. Change

include_path = "/usr/share/php" 

to

include_path = ".:/usr/share/php"

You may need a couple of packages from PackMan.

December 22nd 2004

I've reorganized my apt repositories again. You can download the new sources.list from this link.

November 13th 2004

Changed the layout of my homepage and the apt-repository.

June 13th 2004

I've used css and javascript to give my homepage a new look. The content is still the same, so you could say that this was a complete waste of time. Hope you enjoy it.

I've tested this layout with Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla on Windows XP and Opera, Mozilla and Konqueror on SUSE 9.1. Only with Internet Explorer does the menus not work.
