Hi sebseb01,

Can you also attach your full dmesg output after trying to use this card. Also attaching your lsusb information would be good too. Thanks.

[sebseb01 (sebseb01)]

Hi,

I send all asked file.

Thanks

What product is the original user encountering this issue with? I submitted a PULL request on the linux-media mailing list for this earlier in the week, and want to confirm that it will address this particular product as well.

http://<email address hidden>/msg10242.html

Assuming that it addresses this particular dib0700 device as well, it would be trivial to backport this into stable.

[Edouard PELLERIN (edouardp)]

Just tried the patch from upstream (posted by sebseb01) on a pinnacle 320cx express card, and everything is working as expected. I recompiled the whole V4L-DVB stack from mercurial, and the patch was already applied. Could we expect this to make it in karmic final ? (or even a backport later ?)

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

djh - I got the fix merged upstream into v4l-dvb earlier in the week. Whether the Ubuntu maintainers want to backport the one-line fix to Karmic is entirely at their discretion.

[Patrick Byrne (pjlbyrne)]

This bug affects me too. Can anyone say whether the fix will be released for 9.10? How can I tell when it becomes avaiable, please?

[Patrick Byrne (pjlbyrne)]

Seems to have gone away on lucid with the latest kernel update. I have working DVB-T in VLC. Perhaps this bug can be closed now?

[ now if somebody can fix the NEXT bug (#361322) we can use totem for tv....... ]

[sebseb01 (sebseb01)]

I'm using me-tv and totem, I still have this kernel-oups ! I'll try it on vlc later

(kernel 2.6.31-16-generic)

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

The patch went into the kernel.org 2.6.31.7 stable, which was just released yesterday. Hence it's not surprising that it hasn't made it's way into Karmic yet.

When the Ubuntu guys pull in the latest upstream source, this fix will be in there.

Devin

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

I guess I should have checked my "kernel-team" email first: The upstream 2.6.31.7 got pulled in about two hours ago, so I suspect there should be a package available shortly.

Devin

[Patrick Byrne (pjlbyrne)]

..in my earlier post I forgot to indicate that I had to enable karmic 'proposed' updates to get the fix. sorry if I misled anyone.

[embe (beeri)]

Is there anything more needed? Still not working on my laptop.

I made today fresh installation of Koala. Because of this problem I returned to Jackalope. There I installed "ubuntu restricted extra", copied "xc3028-v27.fw" to /lib/firmware and provide dvb-channels.conf to Totem and Me-Tv. It works.

Now I am again back in Koala. I tried same things as in Jackalope and I updated all packages with proposed enabled ( 2.6.31-17 is 2.6.31.7?). TV is not working. According to dmesg and lsusb here, I should have same device. (Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1164:1f08 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd )

My dmesg is different. I am not sure if it is same bug. I am sending whole dmesg. After 75s I tried to run DVB in Totem. After 878s I enabled "Firmware for DVB cards" in Ubuntu Proprietary Driver managment (my translation) and I tried again Totem.

Please let me know if there is anything more needed to be done. Thank you.

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

Hello Embe,

The linux-image 2.6.31.17 package still contains the mainline 2.6.31.6, which does not include the fix. As soon as they release a package that includes the mainline 2.6.31.7, you should get the fix.

Devin

[suntinel (suntinel-deactivatedaccount1)]

Anything new with this situation? I am missing MeTV :(

[aschalk (andreasschalk)]

Hi, i just "worked around" that case by installing the 2.6.32 kernel from lucid on karmic (i'm using xubuntu)

You can find it here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

I fixed this months ago (and got it merged upstream). If Ubuntu hasn't sucked in the backport, then you need to be complaining (it was merged into the kernel.org mainline 2.6.31.6).

You shouldn't have needed to install the Lucid kernel, assuming you are running the latest Karmic updates.

Devin

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

Confirmed the fix was merged:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=smb/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commit;h=c284eb9bfee8b58634f9005aa528a7844b750c8b

Devin

[Devin Heitmueller (devin-heitmueller)]

If people are still seeing this issue, they should make sure they are running the latest Karmic kernel update, and post the following:

The exact revision of the linux-image package they have installed
The full dmesg output including the oops.

Devin

[Patrick Byrne (pjlbyrne)]

I got the fix in 9.10, by turning on 'proposed updates' at least 2 months ago. Presumably this is in the main repository now for 9.10.

..and it worked!

[suntinel (suntinel-deactivatedaccount1)]

Just a dumb question. I am not sure - but does this fix cover the problem, that for example MeTV was not able to scan any channels (it hangs always up). And does this mean the Gigabyte U8000 (dib0700) should work now out-of-the-box ?
Thx

[Patrick Byrne (pjlbyrne)]

I don't know about MeTV, but the behaviour you described sounds like
what I saw with w_scan & scan - and that has now been fixed.

Hi,

i've tried aschalk's solution installing the lucid kernel on karmic. It works fine with Gigabyte U8000 and MeTV.
