That makes sense. Like I said, vlc doesn't just pick up the linux default hardware settings, it has its own settings. edit: It would be great if we could get this working with the new *.xspf xlm looking playlist and not the old channel.conf and have a simple vlc based gtkdialog style DVR. http://sm...

I don't know why. The only thing I can think of is that vlc does set it's audio device independently of the rest of linux (It can anyway). So try going to the menu under "audio-audio device" and picking different choices. 2nd idea Maybe try a fresh save file with the TV dongle attached. I...

I ran vlc on just a movie file, sounds gre...

Open vlc. Choose "view-playlist" Drag the playlist into the right hand pane. You can also open rox filer, right click on the playlist, choose "run as" and then set it to open in vlc. Then you should be able to just click on the playlist to load it. And that did it! I went to /ro...

Why is 'root #' in terminal blue?

There is a universal setting I'm missing:
Why is every type of terminal emulator I open have the words:
root #
and they are blue.

Why blue? where is that set at?

I used to use mrxvt on 32bit but I can't get it to run here, elf command errors.

Works for me in the urxvt terminal. But ho...

I've used urxvt, gnome-terminal, and xfce4-terminal, no dice. I used to use mrxvt on 32bit but I can't get it to run here, elf command ...
