[plug] Suggestions for testing CDRKing's ITV-300 PCI TV Tuner in Ubuntu 10.10

Would anyone have suggestions on how to test CDRKing's ITV-300 PCI TV Tuner in Ubuntu? I have a new Atom pc and would want to run this as a PVR. I connected CDRKing's ITV-300 PCI TV Tuner in Ubuntu and lspci shows that it is recognized as SAA7310. A Google search confirms that the card is indeed SA

Yup, Ubuntu created a /dev/video0. The chipset (saa7130) was shown when I did a lspci so there is some hope. :) "scantv" though says that no card was seen. :( On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 1:32 PM, Holden Hao wrote: > > > On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 1:18 PM, Andres Montiel, CUA wrote:

[plug] Backing up Ubuntu with 200++ GB worth of files

Would anyone have a recommendation as to how I can back up my Ubuntu 10.10 system? It has around 200GB of files (it serves as the backup of all the computers at home so it houses a ton of photos and videos). I tried remastersys, but I got a message saying that the file created was larger than iso96

I have a headless Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 installed in the house. I occasionally reboot it remotely (sudo reboot) just to be sure everything is fine.

Based on experience, what management looks for is long term support. If a stable company (ex. IBM, Oracle, Accenture, etc.) offers support for OSS then we get it. Less cost in buying the software, and the support company rakes in money for customizations. :) On 3/31/11, Rogelio Serrano wrote: > O
