I have dled YanC42-0.0.9.tar.gz and unpacked it, just wondering what I do now to get this to install/run so I can hopefully get my TV-Out working.

I am new to linux so the more descriptive steps the better. Thanks.

You might try reading the documentation that came with it.

or if you want to make life easy on yourself as root
apt-get update
apt-get install yanc

"E: Couldn't find package YanC"

tried for both yanc and YanC dunno if case mattered

as for documentation, there is only a readme that has no instructions on install and says "Documentation will be available in later release"

Thanks for the replies, still dont have it installed though

Can I ask why you're trying to install that program? You don't need it to make tv out work.

That depends on how much of a newbie he is. I'm looking to install the
latest version of YanC too, as using a GUI is much easier than trying to
hand-code values into the X config file.

You shouldn't have to edit by hand. Knoppmyth comes with a plethora of pre-configured XFree86 files. Just pick the correct one for your video card and you should be set unless you need an oddball custom modeline (which I'm not sure YanC can do).

Brutis:

Files ending in "tar.gz" are first archived in .tar (tape archive)
format, and then that .tar archive is subsequently archived in
".gz" (gzip) format.

Try this:

[code]
cd /DirectoryContainingYanc

gzip -d YanC42-0.0.9.tar.gz
(This should De-compress the files from the .gz [gzip] archive)

tar -xvf YanC42-0.0.9.tar
(This should eXtract the files from the .tar archive)

From there, you should be able to follow the instructions
in the README file.

Note that you must have Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
installed for YanC to run.


Hope this helps.

i installed JRE via this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76754.html

i skipped the mozilla part, anyways I'm still stuck on running the YanC.jar file, I get it to run in root but nothing like the screenshots on the site. I do "java -jar YanC.jar" and it lists some output but nothing really runs.

As for the point of me doing all this is I'm trying to setup up "twinview" on my myth box and just having trouble, I read through an example of someone's XF86Config-4 file who runs twinview on knoppmythwiki but couldnt get it to work with me. My graphics card is a geforce3 ti500 with svideo out. Still need help, thanks for the responses.

Brutis:

What messages do you get?

I get errors:

yep i get i think the same thing as above, i dont know how to output my text like you guys as I am through a KVM switch between my main machine and my mythtv box, info on that may help me as well.

I did just try some XF86Config-4 that support twinview and none of them outputed to svideo on my geforce3 ti500. still looking for a solution.

Are you sure that card supports twinview?
