Hi,
Which Ubuntu repositories do you mean? Yavdr? For which Ubuntu version?
As I remember the plugin needs a VDR patch. I don't know if the patch is already available for newest VDR versions like 2.7.3 and 4.

Hi,
I'm using seahawk1986's repo for buntu jammy. Permashift was part of that repo til 2.6.9, but it seem to have been dropped off since then.
I'm running a pretty ancient box with a nvidia GT220 passive card that uses the version 340.108 of the Nvidia driver. Everytime there is a ubuntu version upgrade, i'm nervous upgrading 
I actually just checked, and seems that buntu noble has this driver available too 
Maybe time to upgrade...
https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…buntu/vdr-2.7.4 has the permashift patch and plugin (and packages for jammy). Under Ubuntu 24.04 you can probably only use the noveau driver, nvidia-340 from https://launchpad.net/~kelebek333/+a…es_filter=noble didn't work with the default x-server when I tried it shortly after the release.
GT220 is working with Nvidia's legacy driver. I use it on the the MLD distribution. I don't know though if that driver is available on Ubuntu.

I can find the permashift plugin for focal https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…es_filter=focal and noble https://launchpad.net/~seahawk1986-h…es_filter=noble but can't find it for yammy

I'll have to test a blank installation with noble and check if i get it to work. I'm a "if it works, dont touch it" guy, so it's always a bit scary to upgrade with ancient hardware
I have to start to prepare myself for getting new hardware. I got this box second hand for 13 years ago, and i have already replaced the motherboard + processor about 6-7 years ago. The GT220 still works, and i't just fantastic because it does not have any fan. I wonder if there even exists passive graphic cards anymore that can handle HD. The original AMD CPU was also with a really low TDP-value, so i managed with a big heatsink + a big slowly rotating fan..
Hi,
There are many GT1030 passive cards available.
The GT220 is way old. I use GT630/730, they run in focal, if in newer systems also I don't know.

One of the annoying effects caused by Launchpad hickups when uploading packages - I uploaded a version for jammy, the package has already been built and is waiting to be published.
GT220 can still be used, just not for UHD TV since it's lacks hardware decoding for the codec that uses.

Wow, i would get a new Asus GT730 https://www.asus.com/motherboards-c…730-4h-sl-2gd5/ for around 80€. My motherboard seems also to have a free slot for the card! I have to do some more research
Buy an GT1030, the other is out of support also...

I forgot to thank you! All worked perfectly after the package got released

Uhh.. You're right... Nvidia did not like the *nix world. The Asus GT1030 seems to be just 20€ more, so not a bad price either
