The following script installs Virtuoso on a clean Centos 6.5 system.

  #!/bin/bash
  yum update
  yes | yum install autoconf automake libtool flex bison gperf git openssl-devel readline-devel

  export VIRTUOSO_NAME=virtuoso-opensource
  export VIRTUOSO_VERSION=7.1.0
  export VIRTUOSO_FULLNAME=$VIRTUOSO_NAME-$VIRTUOSO_VERSION
  export VIRTUOSO_TARBALL=$VIRTUOSO_FULLNAME.tar.gz

Although it took met some time to find out how to do this, it is really very simple.

1. Install vlc and the Ubuntu packages that go by it.
2. Run the VLC mediaplayer (Menu: Multimedia -> VLC player
3. In the menu of the VLC player, choose "Media->Open Capture Device".
4. Choose "Capture Mode TV(Digital)"
5. Select the correct transponder frequency (For the Netherlands, look in

6. That's it.

* Introduction

It seems that, like game, notebooks should hang. When they are too new it takes a lot of time to install Linux on them. In the Acer V5-123 the graphics card (ATI KABINI [RADEON HD8210] seems to be the problem today (nov 21, 2013). To install a working driver, the information on [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI]] was helpful for me. At the end I still get messages stating "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin" in dmesg that I couldn't solve and I don't know how harmful they are.


* Procedure

1. Install ubuntu. After the installation there is no x-windows, but there are working terminals.
2. Log in.
3. Download the "catalyst" driver version 13.11 (beta version as of today)
