Re: [ubuntu-uk] wondering about pic quality?
yes it did come with the riser card..but once the riser card is installed i tried putting in a graphics card but the problem was once the graphics card is installed the back ports dont line in..at the back! thank you, yes the case is quite nice! nice to hear bout your laptop.

Might be worth dropping Thermaltake (or wherever you got the case from) an e-mail. With regards to how it'll look, my dad bought a new 32 LCD TV from Aldi, was only about £350, he didn't want to spend much so it suited him perfectly. I plugged my Dell laptop in (which has ATI graphics) and it played really well once I setup the mode lines correctly for X. IIRC it was running at something like 1366x768x60Hz. I'd have to say the picture was really quite good. HD videos looked great, the only thing that let it down was the CPU not being quick enough. Good luck. Case looks v.nice by the way.

The minimum CPU requirement for broadcast HDTV playback (720p or 1080i) with de-interlacing is a CPU such as an Athlon64 3200+ or Pentium 2.8 Ghz, either Pentium D 820 or Pentium 4.

They're German. The concept of high end TVs has been common in parts of the continent for many years.

[ubuntu-uk] cache size - firefox (and googlevideo downloads)
I rarely capture streaming video and it seems I am often facing new issues :-) I have become experienced with using firefox to view a clip, then using the firefox cached file to replay the clip off line. However an OLPC video of one hour seems to exceed a size and things do not work. the olpc clip is http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4285568518538296189q=user%3A%22Google+engEDU%22total=538start=0num=10so=0type=searchplindex=6 and it plays ok, I can also see a cache file (files) increasing in size with time by invoking konqueror refresh occasionally (I am using kubuntu 7.04). In firefox preferences I have set preferencescontentfile types manage to ask that swf and spl files (flash) are saved to disk, and set the Advanced Network cache size to 2000MB of cache size. However, the firefox cache file seems to reach 60MB and then stop increasing in size (then disappears!). This corresponds to about 45 minutes of the 61 minute clip. when the 2000MB cache size was a smaller number, the cached file stopped at a smaller size, so maybe I will try using an even larger number. (I did, but it did not seem to change the automatic disappearance of the cache file at least. Not sure what file size was attained though) I have watched the particular clip now so many times that I know it by heart (my various experiments) - but I am still curious about what is happening to limit the cache file. Shorter videos play ok too (for example 15 minutes), but the cache files seem to persist and do not disappear! comments appreciated -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

Slightly over budget, but the LG 32LC2D is a good TV. A year ago it was £1000 (infact is still £999 at Tesco Direct). It can be found for ~ £450 now. The black is good on this TV, it's not blackish-grey like many TV's in this price bracket. One thing I particularly like about this TV is it's support for RS-232. This is good for a dedicated Media Centre TV - as you can send 'remote control' codes - ie TV On/Off from the computer it is attached to. This means that you can set it up to automatically turn on when the computer boots, and off when you shut it down. Also use your Media remote for controlling the TV. I haven't used the official remote in the last year.

Slightly over budget, but the LG 32LC2D is a good TV. A year ago it was £1000 (infact is still £999 at Tesco Direct). It can be found for ~ £450 now. The black is good on this TV, it's not blackish-grey like many TV's in this price bracket. One thing I particularly like about this TV is it's support for RS-232. This is good for a dedicated Media Centre TV - as you can send 'remote control' codes - ie TV On/Off from the computer it is attached to. This means that you can set it up to automatically turn on when the computer boots, and off when you shut it down. Also use your Media remote for controlling the TV. I haven't used the official remote in the last year. Kind Regards, Dave Walker-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
