[edgy] Important dvb-ttpci modules are missing in edgy!

[Thomas Karmann]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic

I can't use my DVB-C TV-card in edgy because the whole branch of DVB-kernelmodules for PCIcards is missing (such as saa7146, ...).
They were included in dapper.

[Thomas Karmann (samoht)]

Aha!
I had a look at the 2.6.17 kernelsources and possibly found the reason why these modules are not included... It's necessary to enable the (deprecated) "Video for Linux 1"
interface in the kernel configuration, then you are able to select the PCI cards.
Please do so!

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

I'll assign this against Edgy's kernel.

[Benjamin_L (benjamin-lebsanft)]

What replaces those "deprecated" interfaces?

[David Bridson (david-bridson)]

Video4Linux 1 was replaced by Video4Linux 2. However, quite a number of drivers and applications still rely on the old Video4Linux 1 interface.

[Benjamin_L (benjamin-lebsanft)]

I see. But it would be nice if this bug could be fixed quickly as watching tv or using my tv card at all would be quite nice :)

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Problem is that some of the "deprecated" interfaces conflict with the newer ones. So just "enabling" them means we'll get undefined results when udev tries to decide which driver to load.

[David Bridson (david-bridson)]

Is this a new feature in recent kernels? The kernel in Dapper included support for DVB devices out of the box, so it's quite surprising to see it disappear in Edgy.

It's a side affect of the new DVB tree in latest kernels I believe. I'll
look into how best to resolve this though. I don't want to lose hw
support.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I was bitten by this as well.. upgraded my home box to edgy from a cdrom (no network yet) so I was lucky to still have the dapper kernel around ;)

Marking as "in progress"..

[hmc8 (hmc8)]

OMG, i just realized this too. My DVB-S WinTV Nova pci-card doesn't work anymore with edgy, in dapper this was just fine. OMG :-(

[Kristoffer Bergström (kabtoffe)]

I just upgraded and have this problem too. :-(
And I have two cards :-( Both SAA7146 Terratec.
Please fix this. I'm not getting my daily Conan O'Brien....

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

Set milestone in order to avoid support regressions

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

kabtoffe, and others: you can use the latest dapper-kernel, it works just fine until we have a new one in edgy.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Oops. No bug in dapper for this.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

All V4L1 devices are now enabled. If they conflict with any v4l2 drivers, then basically people will need to blacklist the driver they don't want.

The V4L1 compatibility layer was already enabled.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

that's great news. Pity though that the build failed :)

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

now that the driver can be used, I'm having problems with it since vdr is restarting every five minutes or so when recording something. Maybe that's worth another bug, so I'll file one.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

actually, if I take my TT-C1500 out but leave the TT-C2100, it works. The card could be broken, I've never really used it since it doesn't work in dapper (won't tune). I even tried building the latest v4l-sources but they have the same problem.

[hmc8 (hmc8)]

Thanks a lot! I am very happy now :D My brand-new Win TV Nova-S-Plus works fine now, thanks again.

[mikee (mike-edwardsathome)]

I also have a problem with my Nova -T which worked out of the box under Dapper. Can someone explain how I get it working with EDGY?

Thanks Guys

[Nicolas DERIVE (kalon33)]

mikee, have a look here : http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB

It's not a solution out of the box (it needs a few hand-changes), so the problem remains.
