Archlinux and Pinnacle PCTV 7010ix PCI

Hello,
on the begining i'm sorry for my english and i wanna say hello to all users of Arch.
I need help. I have windows vista but i am not happy from this fact. I want use Arch linux on my desktop computer. I have gigabyte p35 ds3l mainboard, intel e4500 processor, gf8600 video card, 2GB RAM, internet on cable (not wi-fi) and Pinnacle pctv 7010ix tv tuner. I want watch tv on my computer (on windows is possible) but i do not know is this possible on archlinux on this tv tuner. Can anyone help me check this before i delete windows and format all drives?
Rasgan
EDIT:
I check on google - this card has philips semiconductors 7162 chipset. Can anyone help me?

Hi there...
I did what you mentioned here with no good result.
Some strange thing, in the hardware server settings the card is listed as you mentioned, but on FMLE is listed as "Pinnacle PCTV 713X Tuner BDA Analog" (strange hu?) maybe some driver issue?
Maybe we are wrong in what we want to achieve. We need to broadcast tv over internet. The thing is that if we open FMLE first, we dont get any video signal. We have to start Pinnacle TVCenter Pro first in order to get video on the FMLE...weird.
Im completelly lost here...

G3Ti200 Pro-VT and Pinnacle PCTV-Pro Cannot live together

From the moment I instal in one of my free PCIs the Pinnacle PCTV-Pro card, the MSI Clock, the MSI Information, Live update 3 (vbios.dll could not install..) etc do not work. A nessage in the start up of Windows XP presented saying .. exception error ...nvclock.dll,FnNvclock".
When I extract the PCTV card from my PC everything work OK.
Can anyone inform me if MSI VGA Card (MS-8850) and Pinnacle PCTV can live together ?

Pinnacle PCTV Stereo and MSI KM4M-V mb

I cannot run my Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card on my new MSI KM4M-V motherboard, regardless of the BIOS settings, IRQ assignments, operating systems (Win ME, 2k, XP) and of the inserting the PCTV card in any of the three PCI slots available.
However, after installation, the "PCTV Assistant" does not report any problems!
Nevertheless, only various stripes appear in the TV window, and no sound at all. Channel scan brings nothing. However, while scanning, on finding the not empty TV channel, the pattern in the TV window changes from more or less random set of white spots (like snow) towards some stripes.
The same PCTV Stereo card worked fine with my previous motherboards (ASUS CUPLE-VM, ASUS CUSL2, AsRock K7S41GX).
The PCTV card is the only PCI card installed. The hardware configuration is: Sempron 2400+, graphics and sound - integrated with the mb, DDR 512 MB in one module, HDD WD Caviar 80 GB 8MB cache.
Maybe somebody could help me resolving this problem? Many thanks in advance!
Andrzej

Hi,
so far I could not try another PSU.
In the meantime, I was informed that there can be the problem of the type of PCI interface. If the tv tuner was PCI 2.2 compliant, no problems should occur. Could anybody tell me more about these types of PCI interfaces? What I found elswhere in the net it was the division of TV tuners into 3 groups regarding the PCI interface: "PCI cards", "PCI 2.2" and "PCI 2.3". I presume that the my one belongs just to the first group (PCI cards), like the majority of the TV tuners on the market.
Can anybody tell me about the differences between these types of interface, and maybe you could help me overcome this conflict, IF IT IS REALLY A CONFLICT!

Anyone use a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo on a MSI PT880 ?

I need to know if anyone use a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card on a MSI PT880 motherboard. As i cant get it to work on mine, i have to know if anyone else has succed this operation. Or maybe this tv-card isnt compatible with this mobo ?
I have tried the tv-card on 2 other computers, and it work great.
I can explain the problem here too (even if its in another thread too):
If i put the card into a pci slot the d-bracket show 4 leds. If i assign a IRQ for the pci slot in bios to 11 it seems to boot, but i cant have my intel pro/100 pci nic inserted at the same time, then it show 4 red lights again.
But if i just have the tv-card inserted and assign IRQ 11 and boot windows and install all drivers and software for the card, everything seems to work .. except that it cant find any channels.
And if i shut the pc down for an hour, and start it again. It again show the 4 red leds .. even as i havent changed any setting in the bios.
I got nuts on this one .. but im sure want my tv-card to work .. so i can check mtv when im doing other things.
If someone can help .. im being very happy.

Take your time m8 .. and thanks.

Pinnacle PCTV poor performance

I've just built a PC with the components listed in my signature.
My problem is that the Pinnacle PCTV card/software performs poorly.
Pinnacle's software PCTV Vision 5.5 consumes 65-85% CPU, and thus it's impossible to do recordings and to use the timeshift feature.
Using Intervideo's software WinDVDRecorder I can watch TV with much
lower CPU utilization, recording and timeshift have some audio/video
sync problems though.
Suggestions anyone?

Thanks again, but the performance problem is not only related to recording, it's also related to viewing - It shouldn't use that much CPU.
I added a second display adapter (Graphics Blaster Riva TNT) and used that as primary display in Windows XP - Viola! It works! So I guess the problem is related to the onboard display adapter, maybe I could try another driver, I'm using the VIA driver from MSI's support pages now.

Position Control of compumotor linear servo table and GV-U6E with PCI-7344

I'm referring PCI-7344 (not 7334).
I have the GV-U6E which is a drive only and does not possess control functionality. the drive only version does not store or use programs. So, serial commands can not be sent through COM port by LabVIEW even though A few basic commands can be emulated.
I am trying to do position control as I mentioned. For example, the motor should move A point to B point exactly with a certain speed. The points must be aboulte position.
I would like you to see the reference comment that I have been contacting with in your website forum.

Yes, we used an NI PXI-7344 motion control card with an NI UMI-7764 box connected to a Gemini GV-U12E servo drive. (which is a drive only.)
We did positional control in absolute position mode.
I can send you an AutoCAD schematic detailing how to connect the UMI-7764 to the Gemini GV servo drive.
In regard to the Rs232 interface to the GV servo drive,
the GV drive only model is "configurable" not "programmable". You can create unique GV configuration files with Compumotor's Motion planner then download the configuration via Rs232 using LabVIEW as desired. Or, using LabVIEW via Rs232 you can change individual GV drive parameters on demand,
or use the GV's two analog outputs back to LabVIEW's analog inputs to measure commanded motor current or torque, etc.etc.etc

Dual boot with archlinux and windows issue

Hi again!
This is what i did from the beginning :
windows was already installed and then i installed archlinux after shrinking the windows partition . I made a partition for boot , one for swap and one for root(i wanted to do for home too , but only 4 primary partitions are allowed) . I made the boot partition bootable , and so was windows bootable and i got the message that there are two bootable partitions so it couldn't write the partition table . So removed the bootable tag from windows and left only the boot partition bootable . I then installed the grubloader to boot partition and then i edited that grubmenu and uncomment the part where windows was like it says in wiki. After restarting i could see the menu to choose between archlinux and windows , i chose windows , i succesfully logged in and after restarting again i couldn't see the grubloader and i automatically logged in windows .
Does anyone know what might be the issue ??
Thanks !

yes i only have one hard rive , i managed to find a solution not that elegant though , i 've installed acronis os selector from windows and i can choose between windows and linux with acronis on boot . If i choose linux i get to the grub menu and i can choose between arch linux and windows . So it seems that the grub menu is still there but it doesn't appear when i boot for some reason .

Archlinux and P35 Chipset. [ABIT FULL OF FAIL?]

Hello, my latest build for my comp includes an Abit I-P35E. I have heard of P35 motherboards and linux not getting along very nice. Some of my friends have motherboards from Gigabyte with the P35 chipset and they are running Archlinux no problem. I on the other hand cannnot get ArchLinux running without modifying too many things. Here's what happens:
I have 3 SATA hdd. If I run 2 hdds in the upper most sata ports (5 and 6) then ArchLinux and Ubuntu will not have problems finding my hard drives. If I run them in ports 1 and 2 I do get errors. If I run 3 hdds, in ports 2,5,6 then I still get errors. The IRQPOLL fix does not work.
Sabayon is always praised to be the most up to date technology wise distro. I tried sabayon and to my suprise it actually works with all 3 hdds. It's a tad bit bloated, and I would rather use arch.
So I am wondering if anyone has had similar problems and if they did, how they fixed them. I am also wondering if the newest release of arch gets rid of this problem. The newest ubuntu 8.0.4 doesn't, and I don't expect arch to either. Right now I'm using sabayon.

off-topic: i am just thinking about switching to a gigabyte p-35-board with an e6750. which kind of ram do you use? which boards do your friends use exactly? i am not quite sure about which model exactly i should buy.
on-topic: in the sabayon-forum (or here) send a mail to wolfden, he is a sab-dev and also arch-user. perhaps he has some information about this.
Hes using Crucial Ballistix ram PC2-6400 (DDR2 800).
Im one his friends. I use Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (DDR2 1066) and a Gigabyte DS4 P-35 mobo (see my sig for full name)

How to choose connector and cable of NI PCI-7342

I want to buy NI PCI-7342 motion controller card of NI but i don't know How to choose connector and cable of NI PCI-7342. My objective is just control the servo motor. What 're connector and cable I need to buy together ?

Hi bkk -
The choice of accessory equipment will depend on the drive and feedback method you plan to use. If you would like to use an NI servomotor drive (the MID-7652 would be appropriate for your controller), the cable that will connect your controller and drive is the SHC68-C68-S. If you plan to use a third-party motor drive, you'll need a breakout unit to make the appropriate connections with your controller. The UMI-7772 is our two-axis breakout unit, and the same cable will connect to it.

Captura imagen con pinnacle pctv usb2

Buenas,
Estoy realizando el proyecto final de carrera de ingenieria superior en automatica y electronica industrial. La aplicacion que estoy realizando es la captura de una imagen de un microscopio mediante una camara de video conectada a una pinnacle PCTV USB2 ya que la camara sale con rca y esta capturadora lo permite, para analizar el numero de particulas que veo en un filtro.
Si hago la captura con el software propio de la tarjeta no hay problema, guardo las imagenes y las proceso con el VI de analisis de particulas que he creado. Pero ahora he realizado un VI para capturar las imagenes desde labview y me captura imagenes en negro. Si coloco una webcam que tengo de la marca DEXXA funciona perfectamente, pero cuando lo quiero hacer con la pinnacle me captura imagenes totalmente negras.
Porfavor, podria ayudarme alguien en que me esta pasando. He leido por el foro que esto le ocurre a mas gente pero supongo que esta gente si cambia la webcam por otra probablemente les funcione, pero yo no puedo ya que la camara que tengo en el microscopio es la que es y no la puedo cambiar.
tengo labview 8.0 y vision assitan 7.1. tambien he instalado el IMAQ for USB-cameras.
un saludo y gracias.

Hola tortronics, es posible que las imágenes negras que obtienes de tu cámara se deban a conflictos con el driver o que tu cámara no es compatible con Direct Show. Para solucionar esto descarga los drivers mas actualizados de tu tarjeta y esto puede solucionar el problema.
Otras 2 opciones que tienes son :
Si el programa de tu cámara tiene interfase Active X, puedes llamar el porgrama de tu cámara desde LabVIEW y con eso controlar todo.
Si tu programa no tiene interfase Active X y no es compatible con Direct Show todavia tienes la opción de llamar en forma manual los Dll que componen el driver de tu cámara, pero para hacer esto necesitas conocer los parámetros y tipo de datos de los parámetros que requieren estos drivers
Espero que esta información te sea de utilidad

IMovie vs Final Cut Express and Pinnacle Studio

Before I had the Imac (6 months now) for my video or photos I use Pinnacle Studio 11. Now I want to update the IMac to Leopard with ILife 09. Now I also want to use Final Cut Express for video editing. However since I seen the introduction of IMovie 09 I'm not sure which investment to make.
My question to you: with my experience with Pinnacle will Imovie 09 apply for video editing or should I also get the FCE. And what about my projects done in Pinnacle Studio.
Thanks in advance for all your reactions.
Ron

I migrated from using a PC and Pinnacle Studio 11 to a MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express about 9 months ago. I had no previous experience with a Mac, so it has been a very steep learning curve for me. But I have been studying the bright minds on this forum for awhile and have also been taking advantage of various Final Cut tutorials on the web. I eventually stopped regretting leaving Pinnacle behind and I have come to love Final Cut and the greater creative control it offers. As for iMovie, I found it a little too basic for what I want, but it may be suitable for your needs.
As far as your Pinnacle projects are concerned, finish them up and then immerse yourself in Final Cut. I think you'll be glad you did.

12VDC for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764

Can 12VDC be used for Limit and Home Signals for PCI 7334 using UMI-7764.
Can the UMI 7764 be damaged if over voltage is supplied to it. If so can it be repaired or it has to replaced.

Specifications for the Limit Switchs (home, forward, reverse, etc) is
determined by the specifications of your NI motion controller PCI
board. The UMI functions only as a pass through and breakout for the
board .
The valid limit swich voltage for the PCI-7334 is 0 - 5 V. You will have to divide down a 12 V input before running it to
the UMI and to your board. The 3.3k pull up resistor is only used to
pull floating voltages to TTL levels and does not protect for high
voltage signals.
Please note that the UMI-7774 provides optical isolation for limit switches and extended input levels (e. g. limit switch voltages: On = 3.5 to 30 V, Off = 0 to 2 V).

Can you perform simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120?

Is it possible to do simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120? It seems that timed digital operations require using the group read/write commands, which utilize an entire port. Since the PCI-6120 has only 1 digital I/O port, I would like to be able to use 2 lines as outputs and 1 line as input, and do both in a deterministic fashion. i.e. create a digital signal with known pulse widths and read an input line at a known time after the outputs were set. Is this possible to do with only one digital I/O port?

Hello,
This can be done in LabVIEW. There is actually an example that installs with NI-DAQ.
Below is a link to a Knowledge Base that explains how to find the correlated digital I/O examples.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/B849664604EB34B886256D12005B5520?OpenDocument
Just take a look at the example titled �Continuous CDIO with external clock (E).vi�

Build a Cisco CCNA/CCNP/CCIE Virtual Lab with ArchLinux and CSR-1000V

Hi All,
I'm working on the CCIE certification, thought I would share with you my scripts for building a virtual LAB. I'm using ArchLinux and the latest CSR-1000V (ISO) as of June 20th. Cisco should allow you to download this ISO for free. You'll be limited to 100kb/sec out of the box, but you can also get a free 60-day eval license that will unlock 50MB/sec.
These scripts assume you have QEMU installed of course, bridge-tools, etc.
Probably want to enable KSM first
echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
This script makes one virtual disk per virtual router. I suppose you could boot one router, let it go through the install, then power it off. Then use that disk as the parent for many others (qemu backing_file). However, the CSR-1000V seems to generate various UUID's for itself during this process and I wasn't sure how this might affect the trial license.
Boot'em up:

Note that VM's boot in CPU suspended state. That's because the CSR-1000V ISO installer doesn't correctly auto-detect serial-console mode, so you have to manually select it (but only on first boot, subsequent boots seem to get it right).
So, get xterm's going and in each one, telnet to the virtual serial port: 7201, 7202, 7203, and so on for each router.
Boot them each with this command
echo "cont" | nc 127.0.0.1 7101
echo "cont" | nc 127.0.0.1 7102
and so on
Now just tie together the interfaces however you want. For the connectivity in the picture, use the following:
# Build lab ethernet segments
for x in 1 2 3; do
brctl addbr lab$x
ip link set up dev lab$x
done
# Bring up tap devices - allocated by QEMU but not up'd
for x in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do
ip link set up dev tap$x
done
# Virtually plug in our ethernet cables to correct switch ports
brctl addif lab1 tap0
brctl addif lab1 tap2
brctl addif lab2 tap3
brctl addif lab2 tap5
brctl addif lab3 tap1
brctl addif lab3 tap4
Sample configurations for each router:
Router 1:

no shut
int gi2
ip address 192.168.103.1 255.255.255.0
cdp enable
no shut
router eigrp 6809
network 192.168.101.0
network 192.168.103.0
redistribute connected
end
Router 2

Very Interesting, but i think it fits better in the wiki then on forum.
Care to create a wiki page ?

Thanks for Archlinux and the community.

Hello,
I just wanted to express my happiness towards Archlinux and it's community. I was searching for a distro that I could use to build on and Archlinux was the answer. I installed the base system and I am slowly getting everything running. I installed the core system from the core CD of course, then installed openbox. So, I now have a quick booting and very lightweight distro. I also run a openSUSE 11 Desktop PC which runs all my everyday stuff, my aim is to get all the applications that I run everyday. I probably won't desert my openSUSE disro as there is no harm in running both distros. I am about half way there. I am even running good 'ol Quakeworld (yes, the original. google 'ezquake'). I am going to try to get video/mp3 working now and then wine and TF2. Well, I would like to somehow give something back to the Linux community. I guess, unless I missed it there is no HCL (Hardware Compatibility List). So, I guess I will go ahead, please let me know or feel free to move this to another part of the forum.
I am running a ASUS A8JM notebook, which has a Nvidia 7600GT (512Mb) video card, 2Gb RAM, 1.83Ghz Intel CPU.
uname -a:
Linux myhost 2.6.27-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 21 09:31:10 UTC 2008 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I guess thats about it for me now.
Thanks

there is a HCL list. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HCL/Laptops
