Same problem with ubuntu hardy with all updates (April 03) and the last version of v4l-dvb-experimental.

If I boot the ubuntu with the device plugged it get stuck on activating HAL, if I hot plugged the device on session the keyboard stop working but the TV is OK.

I use a Terratec USB XS.

The problem is that the alsa modules from the stock kernel are build from alsa .16 whereas the kernel alsa version, which is used to build the em28xx modules, is .15. The source files from the linux-header package are not update to the new alsa sources. To fix the problem I build a custom kernel with my sound card enabled. After rebuilding the em28xx driver agains that cutstom kernel the driver worked without problems

As some people have asked me what I did to fix the problem here is a small howto:

1. Tools you'll need

To start, you will need to install a few packages.

sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-devel fakeroot build-essential libncurses5-dev

2. Get the kernel source from ubuntu

apt-get source linux-source

3. Unpack the kernel

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
tar xjvf /usr/src/linux-source-<version-number-here>.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-<version-number-here>
cp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config

4. Customize it:

make menuconfig

Now goto Device-Drivers --> Sound --> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Now select the following
   <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
   <M> Sequencer support
   <M> Sequencer dummy client
   <M> OSS Mixer API
   <M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
    [*] OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system
    [*] OSS Sequencer API
   <M> RTC Timer support
    [*] Use RTC as default sequencer timer
    [ ] Dynamic device file minor numbers
    [*] Support old ALSA API
    [*] Verbose procfs contents
    [ ] Verbose printk
    [ ] Debug

Now goto PCI devices and select your sound card as module. If unsure select all of them as module.

5. Pack the kernel

make-kpkg clean # only needed if you want to do a "clean" build
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-some-string-here kernel-image kernel-headers

6. Install the new kernel

echo vesafb | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
echo fbcon | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.24-some-string-here.deb

Is there some way to fix this that doesn't require building a new kernel? I'm having the same problem.

I got it to work... Not exactly sure how... I haven't tried booting up with it plugged in, but it works if I plug it in after bootup if I do

modprobe em2880-dvb

before plugging it in. Or, put em2880-dvb in /etc/modules

That fixed the problem of the keyboard locking up. Then I followed the advice here: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/04/mythtv-on-hardy.html

Namely, change the line

#load-module module-alsa-sink

to

load-module module-alsa-sink device=plug:dmix

in /etc/pulse/default.pa

After rebooting and plugging the device in again, I ran mythtv again. For some reason it didn't see the card until I ran mythtv-setup again, but it found it immediately then. I reconfigured my audio settings to use ALSA:default, and it started working. It was really quiet; I had to turn the PCM volume up in alsa-mixer.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but hopefully this advice will help someone.

Ubuntu gets worser and worser, when violation Linux standard base kernel setup, if they worked together with Debian and fedora things could be come a lot better:

I updated my installation guide that should make it able to install the drivers, but its not a very nice way of doing things:

I will release a Ubuntu Package for that driver within the next few days. The issue is solved and caused because the module isn't built against the ubuntu linux module sources (which comes in an extra package).

The installation instruction on mcentral.de won't solve that problem unless someone recompiles the whole kernel (which is not the goal of that project).

WIll this package be put into the Hardy mainline? I've been trying to get a PVR-950 working today and run into this very problem. Glad to see it should be solved soon.

could be, I'm just setting up a build system for that driver also to catch further updates of the sourcecode and automatically generatore .deb packages for ubuntu 7.10, 8.04 (32/64 bit) as well as for other distributions.

please do not use those packages in any tutorials because they will be updated frequently and the version number will be raised.
I will set up a site on mcentral.de which keeps track of the latest packages also for other distributions.

Installation:
open a terminal and run following command, this will show up one of the extension used within the driver name for the specific kernel.

This is an example for 32bit Ubuntu Hardy 19. May 2008:
$ uname -r

when using em28xx based hybrid devices someone might currently run into a problem with dbus:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/230877

if the system says that the devicenode is in use but you haven't started a tv application run:

$ lsof -n | grep video

and either close or kill the process which holds the device open.

After installing the deb file, the card is recognized without any complain, but when using MythTV or Kaffine, it will die directly.

Here is exactly what I done:

Whenever MythTV or Kaffine wants to access the card, it will complain. MythTV will also quit without showing anything when choosing "add new card".

this is not needed and mixing up v4l-dvb-kernel or v4l-dvb-experimental with the precompiled drivers will definitelly break!
You now have to restore your kernel/modules in order to get the media driver subsystem clean again.

----
  $ hg clone http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-kernel
  $ cd v4l-*
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
----

basically you'd just have to click onto:
http://mcentral.de/empiatech/distris/ubuntu/hardy/empia-2.6.24-16-generic-2_i386.deb
in the browser and install it using the installer which pops up.

Okay Qin Gao, marwooj, seems like you ran into another problem there apparmor related

this doesn't happen with the 64bit version, neither with a non apparmor patched kernel. I need to investigate that issue :-(

thanks for testing,

Using the http://mcentral.de/empiatech/distris/ubuntu/hardy/empia-2.6.24-16-generic-2_i386.deb on HH8.04 with Kaffeine on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire3023 -- this laptop -- and Pinnacle 300e (hybrid pro stick) - no problems detected as of yet. (Kaffeine is from main Ubuntu repo) Thanks Markus :) System monitor shows about 30% CPU utilization (frequency stepped down to 800Mhz) while watching. Would be worth adding a more clear mention about Kaffeine in your Using Guide :)
Haven't yet found the way to get the remote control working (haven't even started looking yet ;) )

Just wanted to add that the x86_64 package has a problem with the dvb-core.ko file. When I plug in my Pinnacle USB stick there are some errors in dmesg about dvb. When I try to modprobe dvb-core I get an invalid module format error. When I run 'file /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/empia/dvb-core.ko' it appears to be a 32 bit module. On the other hand the analog capture is working because I can watch live tv with tvtime. Thanks

just remove that file and run depmod -a, it's just a precompiled
dvb-core module for the eeePC.

Markus,

Thanks for the info. After removing the dvb-core.ko and running 'depmod -a' I am now able to attempt a channel scan with the dvb-utils scan command. I was able to receive only a very "snowy" NTSC signal from where my antenna is currently located. Because of the poor reception I am unable to find any ATSC broadcasts. Once I can move the antenna I will try again. Thanks!

Markus -

Is there any chance that you can post the links for the 2.6.24-17 kernel? Beyond that, I would highly appreciate if you could make the source available - one of my issues is that my AMD installation reports as i686 architecture, so I would have to compile (I guess). The amd64 packages do not install and the i386 do not work. Thanks!

The source has been available for ages actually on mcentral.de but
people have problems to compile it this is the reason why I provide
the packages. I expect to push out the next updated packages around
next week.
Did You try the 2.6.24-16 packages with 2.6.24-17?

Ah, I see - which repository are the empiatech driver in? So far, I only found the v4l drivers, and with these I run into the keyboard and hald issues ...

I tried the -16 mods on the -16 kernel, but the modules get installed in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-386, instead of /lib/modules/2.4.24-16-generic, like all my other kernel modules. I have an AMD system, reporting an i686 architecture.

before asking questions how to get it work please search the ML and
other history about the problems which you can run into. The binary
packages just prevent providing one time instructions how to set up a
development system for users who just want to watch TV.

you have to use the generic package instead of the i386 package in that case..

Hi Markus,

I tried, but there is no change in result, although the installation process worked without error messages.
Perhaps I've to say that I'm not even sure if the package you try to invent aims at my problem.
Still got the "keyboard lock problem" when I plug in my Terratec Cinergy XS.
I tried the "Compile a custom kernel" version too, but it didn't help either.

Sry, I'm not as good in programming as I should be, so I couldn't give any help in kernel hacking but perhaps I can help with testing ;)

So far, thanks for all the work you've done in solving that problem!

Bye,

Stefan

Just tried the generic package on Hardy.

I have a HVR 900 USB device.

1. Under 2.6.24-16-generic module loads without issue and analogue scanning/tuning works. DVB scanning fails without any driver errors.

2. Under 2.6.24-17-generic you need to remove the em28xx.ko module they have now included and copy the /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/empia/ directory to /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/empia/. The driver appears to load correctly and analogue works, but still now DVB-T support,

Hi,

I did try on Hardy as well and I can't get working my Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS.
I use kernel 2.6.24-17.

I tried with the "old" driver (v4l-dvb-experimental) but this one it works only when I boot without device, load the modules and then plug it. It works with Kaffeine but nor really stabil.

I tried to install http://mcentral.de/empiatech/distris/ubuntu/hardy/empia-2.6.24-16-generic-2_i386.deb and then copy the modules under /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/empia/ directory to /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/empia/ (like Steven Ellis) and when I plug the device, dmesg says:

I also tried to compile the modules by myself and I get the following when I plug the device:

Any idea where the problem could be?

Maybe these messages could help to understand something!

what I did and you may have luck with it to is
1. install a clean v4l via
cd /usr/src;sudo su; hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb and then a make and make install
or by reinstalling that package from ubuntu. I wisey backed up the lib/modules path so I could rewrite the files if I had a problem
and then
2. did you install the em288-new that matched your kernel using dpkg -i file
3. next did you try reboot.

I had to reboot with the device unplugged and then plugged it in to get it to work (pinnacle usb hdtv 800e)
It works fine under hardy (mythbuntu 8.04)

# First backup the existing kernel modules
cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic
tar -zcf 2.6.24-17-generic.bak.tgz 2.6.24-17-generic

# Then copy over the empia driver from 2.6.24-16-generic

ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/empia/ | while read i; do find . -name $i -exec rm -f {} \; ; done

Now DVB and analogue both work

Any thoughts?

I have not tried to compile the source.

Thanks.

I've managed to compile with self-compiled 2.6.25 and modules were correctly installed (apart from em28xx_audio)

When i scan here are the kern messages :
(obviously it doesn't work)

i'll go back to the old em28xx-userspace2 + userspace-drivers

@Laurent

these kern messages are normal, i have the same on 2.6.24-16 while scanning, but it works.

Sorry I'm finishing my relocation at the moment (basically I don't
have internet at home right now).. it will take 1-2 days till I can
get back to those things.

although some updates:
* the reconnect issue has been fixed locally for now.
* updated the xc5000 firmware
* and many other smaller changes..

I'll commit the code and regenerate the packages when I'm set up again.

@Laurent
I've used Kaffeine for scanning but i didn't have these ERROR message.

@Markus:
If you don't have ubuntu, info: kernel 2.6.24-18 is out now. is it feasible to create a deb package which works on all kernel versions?
Do you still have an idea why i don't habe sound on analog tv?

Hi,

I manage to get working a little bit my Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS.
To manage it I did that:
- update to kernel 2.6.24-18 (I am under ubuntu)
- rename /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx.ko
- copy empia/ folder from the deb package to /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/
- run depmod -a

dmesg gives that (device pluged in after boot):

Seems to have some problem with em28xx-audio. Maybe because the modules were compiled against the wrong kernel headers?!

I said it is a little bit working because if I change a channel under Kaffeine, Kaffeine doesn't answer anymore :-( But sometimes it works ok!!

Otherwise when I boot with device pluged in and I call Kaffeine, I got the following output of dmesg:

I've this bug too... :(

Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 330e.
Since I prefer not to change the kernel of the machine I'm using on, I'm trying to get it running on Hardy, but I failed :/
I mean, I can get only the analog tuner working, but with no audio at all!

First of all I had to install the em28xx new modules from merucurial, then not to make my keyboard freeze when plugging the usb stick in I had to do a
sudo modprobe em28xx-dvb

So I can plug the card and start watching, only, the TV.

Btw this is my dmesg output, and it has many errors relating audio. Any idea to solve?

ok, I said that because after read lots of these posts I understood that I only needed the driver (nobody said that for the Cinergy Hybrid is necesary to look for a firmware, they only spoke about the empia driver). I use the 2.6.27(-11) kernel and at http://linux.terratec.de/ says:

Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM -->Empia EM2882 + Xceive 5000

Maybe you are on the right track, sorry.

I'll look for a xceive firmware.

P.D.: I didn't see something in dmesg about firmware (didn't I find out? wasn't it?)

1. Messages about missing firmware started not when I inserted it but when I
tried to use it (with "tvtime" in my case)

2. All info about Xceive 5000 is here -
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC5000

As you can see yourself from this page kernels 2.6.24+ have built in support
for the XC5000 and it works fine.

And info about obtaining needed firmware are on the bottom of the webpage.

Good luck! :-)

I downloaded http://konstantin.filtschew.de/v4l-firmware/firmware_v3.tgz and put in /lib/firmware but doesn't work.

After that I did modprobe em28xx and then dmesg |grep em2 and I got:

Hi Leszek,
sorry, I read your post after the mine. If em28xx and XC5000 are built-in my card must work but doesn't work. I tried with the firmware that I said in the other post.

I read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/em28xx but I only did the step about download the driver and copy to the correct path because you said me that for you is only necesary to download the firmware (and for me "maybe nothing" because it's built-in).

(nothing in dmesg using tvtime, but i can't see tv channel).

empia-modules-source_0.020090217-0ubuntu1_all.deb Edit (506.4 KiB, application/x-debian-package)

Hello,
here is the package I made for em28xx-new (hoping it will be uploaded, it's 507kB). Please note that this package works because it has some include files that are needed to compile but are no longer available in the linux-headers package. Actually, I downloaded the linux-source package, extracted the relevant include files and put them in the package. This means that this .deb file may not work on Jaunty.
As for the firmware, to my knowledge the em28xx driver in the kernel needs a firmware for some card, e.g. if you load it with the option card=53. In this case the firmware to load is named xc3028-fw. On the other hand, the mcentral em28xx driver doesn't need a firmware file, because it's included in the source files. Please note that when a module needs a firmware file and doesn't find it, you will see a message with dmesg.

These webpages describe things to have alternative driver working - the one
from www.mcentral.de . And by the way they are outdated since driver is
developed and things change.

So better start with original Ubuntu 8.10 kernel (maybe reinstall it to be
sure) and follow instructions on page describing how to use built-in driver.
It's the page I've sent you in previous mail -
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC5000

On the bottom of this page you have instructions how to download and extract
firmware for XC5000. It as simple as these 3 commands:

wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/extract.sh

sh ./extract.sh

sudo cp dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw /lib/firmware

After this reboot and insert your card into USB port. Everything should
work.

I would not say that they are outdated, it's still the only way to get
many device work with it.
Things are still changing there..

I wrote about ubuntu webpage with EM28XX info but not the one on
www.mcentral.de - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/em28xx .

Ubuntu have original kernel driver since version 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27) and do
not mention it at all. Most howto's mentined on this page are from 2007. How
do you call it if not by term "outdated"?

with the gborzi's package I can see tdt tv but not analog and fm radio. TvTime doesn't work but Kaffeine and xine does it with "standard" channel, with HD channel they crash.

@gborzi :
excuse me if this is obvious : which one of these attached packages :
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20822155/empia-modules-source_0.020081230-0ubuntu1_all.deb
or
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24587734/empia-modules-source_0.020090217-0ubuntu1_all.deb

will work on Hardy, and which kernels exactly (off these http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ possibly? Or the currently prepacked ones?) ?
Because currently I use the last one released by Markus, hence I am stuck with kernel 2.6.24-22-generic; I have been hesitating to upgrade the kernel because that could put my Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro USB Stick (330e) out of action...
I can not upgrade to Intrepid because of disk space issues (only have 1.1 GB left, the updater claims to need 1.4G... but that's probably a material for another bug)

The first one, empia-modules-source_0.020081230-0ubuntu1_all.deb, works on Hardy; the second one, empia-modules-source_0.020090217-0ubuntu1_all.deb works on Intrepid. These packages use dkms to work, i.e. the first time a new kernel is booted dkms tries to compile the modules, puts them under /lib/modules/(booted kernel version) and removes those modules with the same name of the compiled ones. See http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms to understand how dkms works. Note that you need to have linux-headers installed for dkms to work, in fact linux-headers is a dependency of dkms. Both packages have worked on my system with the pre-packed kernels.

Hope this helps.

I'm currently doing some tests with the newer drivers which are just
in userspace for that
device.
This would avoid having to recompile the driver everytime
http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/DVBConfigFramework

it's not published yet but it also adds support for MacOSX by using
the same driver even!

the drx3975d driver is not part of the em28xx-new package anymore and
will be distributed
with that new system again (this solves all the legal issues with
trident (Micronas sold the chip
division to Trident recently)).

I have tried the leszek's solution on ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04rc but doesn' work:

These webpages describe things to have alternative driver working - the one
from www.mcentral.de . And by the way they are outdated since driver is
developed and things change.

So better start with original Ubuntu 8.10 kernel (maybe reinstall it to be
sure) and follow instructions on page describing how to use built-in driver.
It's the page I've sent you in previous mail -
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC5000

On the bottom of this page you have instructions how to download and extract
firmware for XC5000. It as simple as these 3 commands:

wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/extract.sh

sh ./extract.sh

sudo cp dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw /lib/firmware

After this reboot and insert your card into USB port. Everything should
work.

The only solution on 8.10 is install the gborzi's deb package but only digital tuner work. Analogic TV and radio FM doesn't work and on Ubuntu 9.04rc I have no idea to do it. Any solutions?

Note: I have a Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS FM card.

Hello.
I had the digital tv working with this device (HVR-900) in Ubuntu 8.10, everything was ok before reinstall (not upgrade) to Jaunty, the final release. In this new installing I've tried installing the package "empia-modules-source_0.020090217-0ubuntu1_all.deb" which worked with 8.10. For my surprise, it only works for analogical tv with no sound (Zapping and tv-time), and the remote worked great, just like before. Then I came here and found the "empia-modules-source_0.020090409-0ubuntu1_all.deb" package, which does not work at all, this is the output:

Hello Fellipe,
no need to translate, Spanish is so close to Italian that I'm able to understand the compiler error messages. Your problem is that some include file of the linux-headers-2.6.28-11 package are missing (perhaps you tried the previous version of the package for Intrepid), so reinstall linux-headers-2.6.28-11 and try again, I mean reinstall linux-headers-2.6.28-11 and then install empia-modules-source. Please report the results, i.e. if it works (as we hope) or not.

Gborzi
Thanks for your answer.

You was right, I tried to install the previous version for Intrepid.
I followed your instructions, remove the old package, reinstalled the linux-headers-2.6.28-11 via synaptic, and install the latest package. There was no error messages on installation, but the device didn't work. After reboot, I tried with zapping, kaffeine, me-tv and tvtime. The remote control neither.

There is no "make.log" file like before.

This is the dmesg:

Note: I reinstalled the Intrepid package while there be a solution, just to use the remote control. I guess i can reinstall the linux-headers-2.6.28-11 again later :)

If you need more info, just let me know.

Hello Fellipe,
I think a little explanation on how these packages work (or don't work) is needed. On Intrepid the linux-headers package lacked some include files to compile mcentral's drivers, so I added a tar.gz archive to the package and a script that installed these files, compiled the drivers and removed the include files. When the Intrepid package is used on Jaunty where the linux-headers package have the required include files, these files are overwritten by those provided by the package and then removed.
I suppose (please note that I'm guessing, I can't check for sure) that some of these include files somehow remained under the linux-headers package directory and resulted in a "fake" compilation, i.e. the drivers where compiled with the old include files. This would explain the error messages you posted.
A possible solution would be:
1) remove the empia-modules-source package
2) remove the linux-headers-2.6.28-11 package and check that there are no files under /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-11
3) If you find any file below this directory check if they belong to some other package (to my knowledge this shouldn't happen, but I can't be sure), and in case they do not belong to any package remove them.
4) reinstall linux-headers-2.6.28-11, empia-modules-source, reboot and reinsert your pen.
Please check if you have a /dev/vbi*, /dev/video* files and /dev/dvb/adapter* directory after inserting your pen.

Gborzi,
the .deb installation failed for me when the 8.10 upgraded from 2.6.27-14 to -15 - dkms reported error while building it.

So I reverted to -14 and everything worked again.

Whether I uninstall it first or not, does not matter, the error is somewhere in the dkms build.

How can I find out what's missing?
Maybe shoud I upgrade to 9.04 ?

(The mainline driver lacks dvb support for my Pinnacle Hybrid Pro (330e) USB, and analog has no sound (unpatched tvtime I think). With Markus' driver, I use STOCK Kaffeine, and it works DVB out of the box (only no 'red button' apps support, but I can live with this)).

Hello Buzonn,
forget about the empia-modules-source package. Markus Rechberger stopped developing this driver, that compiled cleanly until kernel 2.6.28. For kernels 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 I was able to make a patch, but with 2.6.31 I failed to do so. So, unless someone else is able to patch the driver to compile with 2.6.31, the package is now useless.

But his solution seems to be only for these two cards, so it's not a general
fix and this bug is still open.

Hello all.

I have a problem with the Hauppauge HVR 900, I can't shut down the pc when it's plugged. Ubuntu just stay freeze just before the moment it would shut down when the device is unplugged.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.35-22-generic.

To be honest, actually the tv doesn't work (once did), but it doesn't matter to me, I only care about the remote control, which is working.

I guess the solution is to change some parameters in any system's file, isn't it?, At the moment the only thing a find and tried, was to put the line "acpi=force" in menu.list.

It's no so important, but I would like to forget about plugging or unplugging or forcing shut down the computer.

Thank you very much!
