Hi Mohammad,

I have previously sent you an email on this topic. We at Grok (formerly Numenta) have made a conscious decision to stop supporting the legacy NuPIC code. However, we have not released our copyright for the code nor have we granted anyone permission to distribute the code or license files. We would respectfully ask that you remove the code and copyright files from your site.

We are still committed to ensuring that the research Jeff and the team have done are available for continued research. To that end, please watch for announcements from us in the coming months and years.

Thank you,

Jared Casner

Hi Imran Khan,
Thanks for your interest and welcome to this project.
A new branch has been generated at http://svn.mohammadzadeh.info/Thesis/Branch/CLA-ImranKhan
Account information will be provided by email.

Hi:

I am interested in evaluating openHTM for a research project for a non profit organization which is my client. I am interesting in getting the C++ implementation and will be willing to contribute if found applicable.

Thank you.

Imran

Hi Mehran,

great list. The following link could also be of interest to you and your research, namely http://www.whatlanguage.net/en/api/accuracy_language_detection . It compares 5 language detection programs, namely WhatLanaguage.net, CLD, Tika, language-detection and langid.py.

Many thanks for hosting the files!!!

Just tried to download JCPriera-license.cfg but it comes up with:

An unexpected error has occurred!

If this error persists, please report it to the administrator.

Go back to home page
Additional information about this error:
No permissions to view file (not logged in)!

I've attached my license file

I emailed numenta asking for the license file, but they stated that the service had been discontinued, could you provide yours?

to Mehran: Thank you all the same!

You must find an upgraded firmware. I don't know where you can but maybe you can extract it from the windows version.

I don't have requested files.

Thank you for sharing, Mehran, I have find this for more then two years, will you please posting nupic-1.6-tools-source.tgz, or nupic-1.7.1-learningplugin-source.tgz ,nupic-1.7.1-tools-source.tgz ? Thanks!

its is caused by incorrect firmware version, right? CMIIW. so how to fix it?

best regards and keep your good work.

I've just reshared it. The PDF file was publicly available via Numenta Inc website (currently removed).

Is it legal to have here an entire copy of a commercial book, On Intelligence: Jeff Hawkins & Sandra Blakeslee, 2004 ? The publisher might have an interest.

Mehran

Thanks for fixing the links. Muchly appreciated :)

Mark

I think redistribution of licence file is prohibited by law. So ask Numenta Inc to provide you a license file. If they say that this has been discontinued I'll provide you my license file.

Hi Mehran,

thanks a lot for repairing the links! I was unable to download the same files as Mark. Now I have them :)

Can you help me getting a licence file?

Miklos

Excuse me it was caused by the Blog Engine and is solved now.

Hi

Thanks for hosting the files, I've been looking for them everywhere.

Unfortunately I was unable to download the files I really want. I have the win installer from ages ago, but I really want the linux files.

I tried all your links and the following aren't working:

nupic-1.7.1-linux32.tgz
nupic-1.7.1-linux64.tgz
nupic-1.7.1-win32_installer.exe

I would be very appreciative if you could get them working again!

Thanks

Mark

@Satman58 what's the problem? Explain it better.

Fantastic items from you, man. I have be mindful your
stuff previous to and you're simply extremely fantastic. I really like what you have bought here, really like what you're saying and the way through which you are saying it. You're making it enjoyable and you continue to care for to keep it sensible. I can't wait to read much more from you. That is really a wonderful site.

I am facing issue while using svn through SVNManager. I create repository through svn manager very well. But when i tried to add some users to the repository i got the following errors

Can anybody help me regarding this issue?

Many thanks for taking the time to put this tutorial online Mehran.

For me... Ubuntu rocks, it got me using Linux and I'm not going back :-).

I have just installed an old KWorld DVB-T card on my server and now have DVB-T TV anywhere I want in the house - on 'media' desktop (to large plasma screen), laptop (on wifi) and even a tiny 600MHz asus eeepc (on wifi) all on Ubuntu using Xbmc on the frontends and TVheadend on the server. The little asus can't keep up with the true HD streams but other than that its great. For anyone contemplating something similar (having had success with MythTV for a long time) Xbmc provides a highly polished frontend to TVheadend's simple and apparently reliable (so far) backend.

I'm now looking to expand the channels available by adding a dual DVB-S (or S2). The TBS6981 is attractively priced so I had to check it out and thats where this thread has been very useful to me.

Thanks again.

I have TBS 6981 on Ubuntu 11.10 (Kernel 3.0.0-12)

using the second method at the end of make I have the following errors :

Any idea ?

Hi Gregory J. Miely,
Which stick has you and which component has it? We must add yours as indivitually stick. Your tuner needed Version 2.7 and if it's xc3028L then the Version 3.6 (PS: the vendor id's "6000" is trident, but beholder has it now.).

Stefan Ringel

Mehran - many thanks for sharign this! My wife and I were both alien to HTM however we both have read alot around Numenta which is another tool for image recognition.

I have joined your group and look forward to updating the members on my thoughts/findings.

I followed your instructions and created the xc_3028-v27.fw. After copying it to /lib/firmware and modprobing tm6000, I received the following dmesg:

"[ 4551.553041] tuner 4-0061: Tuner -1 found with type(s) Radio TV.

So I downloaded UDXTTM6000.sys and created firmware xc3028-v24.fw. Now the dmesg is:

"[ 4775.427364] xc2028 4-0061: creating new instance

Interestingly, lsusb returns: "Bus 002 Device 019: ID 6000:0001 Beholder International Ltd." and not Trident TV Box.

I'm stumped

Thanks

Thank you so much I was scouring the internet for these codes :)

Seems that driver has not been installed correctly. In Step 9 after modeprobing you must have /dev/video# but all of your program logs say that you don't have this device. Re-chcek your nstallation process and send me dmesg output after each step.

Si prefieres puedo ayudarte en espanol. Dimelo por email.

Open keyboard settings (type "keyb" in search), chooze layout and add layout.
Now you have indication and it can be changed by mouse click.

Hi,

I run CentOS with a Vanilla Kernel 2.6.36.2.

make fails with the following error:

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

Any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks

I've got the second method to work (using the 6921 driver) on a couple of machines. My main machine would load the driver each boot (although there were other problems in myth!). The other machine sometimes wouldn't load the driver (no cx entries in dmesg) - adding the line:

cx23885

to /etc/modules seems to have fixed it. For reference I am running: Ubuntu 11.04 with 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64

Hi,

I was wondering where to include their JavaScript file, your post addressed that - thank you.

Muchos Gracias for your blog. Much obliged.

@matt: About Diseqc I don't know how to activate it but to scan DVB-S2 channels you must use scan-s2 instead of scan.

Just a quick question - I can't get DiseqC 2.0 working with that card. I have Axing 4x1 switch, which is working with my STB with no problems. When I connected it to TBS6981 it doesn't want to scan other satellites than the one connected to AA input. The sytem is:

AA: 13.0E Hotbird
AB: 19.2E Astra
BA: 1.0W Thor
BB: 5.0E Sirius

And I'm able to scan only 13.0E. Furthermore, how can I scan DVB-S2 channels? I'm able to scan only DVB-S right now, even on 13.0E... :(

I don't know how it happened, but I finally turned everything off at 5 am (was too tired) and went to bed. I came back after 12 pm back, and typed:
dmesg |grep cx
And what?

Seems it finally loaded! :)

I believe it's after this manual, so THANK YOU! :)

Mate, I still got the same errors. I have no bloody idea how to fix it. My card is not recognized, and not working. HELP PLEASE...

Thank you. Your advice(using widget) worked perfectly. Many thanks,

Jim

Thank you SO much for this!
My card (6981) had been working previously under Ubuntu 10.10 x64 but had decided to stop working (along with a bunch of other peripherals) for some unknown reason.
I've just moved over to Fedora 15 x64, and could not get the drivers to install using instructions either from the manufacturer, or from following other people's directions elsewhere.

Your instructions worked perfectly - many thanks!
