2040:c000 lots of missing firmware links

[Michele Giacomoli]

Today I tried my Hauppauge Ministick DVB-T tuner (2040:c000) with Kaffeine, but it didn't recognized it. Lookig at /var/log/dmesg I saw these lines:

[ 13.538438] smscore_set_device_mode: error -2 loading firmware: sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw, trying again with default firmware

I looked for some additional driver in software-properties, but I only saw the additional drivers for my Graphic Video Card and my wifi card, and nothing about the tv tuner

So i tried to install linux-firmware-nonfree, and then it started to work.

I think we should add this tuner to the list in software-properties, shouldn't we? If not the fact it doesn't work when plugging it in and doesn't notify you the need to install some additional software may be confusing for a normal user

Can you please run "ubuntu-drivers debug" and copy&paste the output here? linux-firmware-nonfree already has a "Modaliases:" field and thus should be detected, maybe your model is missing here. During this, please have the tuner plugged in, of course.

Thanks!

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

Hi Martin,
here is the ubuntu-driver debug output you asked me to post. I hope this can be useful.
If you need other ouputs just ask me ;)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Thanks. This card is definitively missing then from linux-firmware-nonfree's Modalises: package header.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Indeed when I run the Modalias: generator, I get a lot of missing files:

debian/gen-modaliases /lib/modules/ > debian/linux-firmware-nonfree.modaliases
dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw is not referenced by any module
dvb-usb-tvwalkert.fw is not referenced by any module

bcm70012fw.bin is not referenced by any module
dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw is not referenced by any module
ngene_18.fw is not referenced by any module
[... many more ... ]

Either something in the script broke, or the firmware headers of the modules broke, investigating..

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Adding a linux task. Most of the firmware links are now completely missing.

Particularly for this report, these messages come from the smsusb module, but this does not have any firmware links:

$ modinfo -F firmware smsusb
$

It should link to sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw, as it's trying to load that.

Firmware like "dvb-usb-dtt200u-01.fw" certainly belongs to dvb-usb-dtt200u.ko, but again there is no link at all. The only two DVB modules which still have fw links are dvb-usb-dib0700.ko and dvb-usb-dw2102.ko, all others are missing.

Also, we seem to have some obsolete firmware files: e. g. "dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw" certainly belongs to dvb-usb-dib0700.ko, but that links to dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw now. Also there are quite a lot of firmware files which don't seem to belong to any module any more.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1068356

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.
