kkrekula Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 For whatever reason, now my sound has disappeared - what gives with that....I mean system sound - ALSA <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After fiddling around with OSS/ALSA settings, I lost my system notifications sounds in KDE. After some "digging" I found that .kde/share/config/knotifyrc (in my home directory) had funny content. I just deleted this file and restarted and all was OK again. This is what it should look like on a working system (when it didn't work, all tha parameters were set to "false"): [startProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true /Kenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sobriez Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 the trick with deleting the .kde file did not work.... I've lost all system sound ALSA appears to load This version of the PVR-250 is just too buggy for me - for right now. I do like the new 10.1 MDK tho, but unfortunately it is only installed on this pc that I'm typing on - M$ on my other... i have to say Linux has grown leaps and bounds since my first stab at it with SUSE 5.x I will probably leave MDK on my HTPC for a little while longer and keep banging my head on the wall. while I wait for some parts to come in to complete it, unfortunately it does not seem to be a viable o/s to run this Windowcentric hardware.. One thing I know for sure is that I have a tuner type 47 (I peeled the sticker off the card to look). I was reading how PVR-250 might interfere with ALSA sound, so that may be my problem with the system sound. I also read somewhere that my Kernel source may or may not have to be patched in order for this tuner to work properly - I'll try to fingure that out next.. One piece of good news - using ivtv 3.1, and forcing tuner type 47, I could start and stop mplayer /dev/video0 without the driver crashing (too often -hehehe) Thanks for all your help guys. I'll keep trying for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sobriez Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I now changed my tuner.c and tuner.h to reflect the patch necessary for my tuner to work with 2.6.8.1.12mdk how do I compile this module alone? I tried make modules in the /usr/src/linux dir, but millions were being created - so I stopped it... just want to compile, install this one little module////// thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10826 I remembered reading this. Hope it helps with the commands (forget about the subject :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sobriez Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 I did go to the trouble of fixing the kernel module etc etc, but the driver is still too unstable.... this newer card is a pain -- oh well I'll have to wait until Linux catches up to this card. They're pretty close from the looks of it.....too bad, mdk 10.1 is nice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest erica0011 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hello I am rather out of date on linux and this is my first stab at mandrake. I am running mandrake 10.1 comunity on an pIII copermine. I followed your instuctions exactly but I donot have /dev/video0. How do I fix this ..... Thanks in advance Erica This post tells you how to get the Hauppauge WinTV PVR250/350 card working in Mandrake 10.1 in 10 easy steps. 1: Install the kernel-source with 'urpmi kernel-source' (I used the Mandrake stock kernel: 2.6.8.1-10mdk) 2: Install the Hauppauge firmware. Add Thac's RPMs to your stable of urpmi repositories. Install the firmware with 'urpmi ivtv-firmware' 3: Download and untar the ivtv driver from cKennedy's site (Download). The drivers from october 3 worked for me, however feel free to experiment with newer drivers as they appear. 4: Change directory to the driver folder from the ivtv tar. Remove 'Makefile' and Makefile2.4' and rename 'Makefile2.6' to 'Makefile' 5: type 'make' (steps 5-10 all take place in the drivers folder) 6: log in as root and type 'make install' 7: type 'depmod -ae' 8: type 'modprobe ivtv' 9: Logout as root and test if it works by 'cat /dev/video0'. If you get an input/output error (like I did) log in as root again, type 'modprobe -r ivtv' and then 'make reload'. Type 'modprobe ivtv' again, log out as root and test with 'cat /dev/video0. 10: If you see a lot of funny things in the console it works. To watch TV with the card I recommend Freevo. Have fun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 The /dev/video0 (or video1 video2 etcetc, depending on whether you have other video devices (webcams)) is created when you load the module (modprobe ivtv). Do you get any errors when you give modprobe ivtv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erica0011 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I get no errors from modprobe ivtv this is the info I have found [root@localhost dev]# cat /dev/video0 cat: /dev/video0: No such file or directory [root@localhost dev]# dmesg | grep video Linux video capture interface: v1.00 [3rdparty/ivtv/saa7127.c: INFO]: SAA7127 video encoder driver loaded [root@localhost dev]# [root@localhost dev]# dmesg | grep v4l [<d3d51b27>] ivtv_v4l2_setup+0x877/0xa00 [ivtv] [<d3d51b6c>] ivtv_v4l2_setup+0x8bc/0xa00 [ivtv] ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 0 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 32 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 224 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 24 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 16 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 225 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 64 tvee: tuner fmt=NTSC(M) (eeprom=0x08, v4l2=0x00001000) ivtv: v4l2 streams setup ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 0 minor 0 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 1 minor 32 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 2 minor 224 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 4 minor 64 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 5 minor 16 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 6 minor 228 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 7 minor 232 ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, streamtype 8 minor 48 Thanks in advance Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest erica0011 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 ok I got 0.3 but get this error [root@localhost driver]# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build SUBDIRS=/ivtv-0.3.1s/driver modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk' Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST Warning: could not find versions for .tmp_versions/ivtv.mod make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk' Any 'has no CRC' warnings are harmless and can be ignored. ivtv.mod does exist in /ivtv-0.3.1s/driver I even tried puting it in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-10mdk since that is where it seemed to be looking for it Any thoughts? :) I'veedited the first post to fix the link.
