[SOLVED] DVB-C card stopped working (after update?)

edit: Marked as solved because the problem hasn't occurred for years.
I have a TechnoTrend TT-Budget C-1501 PCI DVB-C card which used to work fine. Today I installed a bunch of updates including new kernel and now the card doesn't work. Current kernel version is 3.9.2-1-ARCH, as reported by uname -r. I don't remember the kernel version which was installed when the card worked but I installed Arch about a month ago and this was the first upgrade.
dmesg gives the following information:
$ dmesg | grep -i dvb

This problem seems to be relatively common with cards containing the TDA10023 chip but I haven't found a proper solution. Is this just a bug or should I adjust something?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the card works on Windows.
Hardware specs:
Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 CPU
16GB of RAM
ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP motherboard (BIOS/UEFI version seems to be the latest (1.50))
Geforce GTX 650 Ti

Weird, now it's working again after "cold" boot... Could the Windows driver load a different firmware which doesn't work properly on Linux? I think I used the card on Windows just before rebooting to Arch...

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

  • Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

    It worked fine the night before.  Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.  I can only hear calls on speaker.  Did anyone else have this problem.  I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore.  No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen.  Nothing covering the earpiece.  Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air.  I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software.  Using Iphone 4 on Verizon.  Any thoughts or ideas?

  • HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

    Good morning to all,
    My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
    It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
    I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
    I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
    Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

    Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

  • After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

    Hi,
    I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
    Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance.
    Also following is the logs from Software Update. Looks suspicious:

  • Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

    I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for.  Why did this happen?

    I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day.  I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game.  I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again.  I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
    EDIT
    Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
    Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again.  So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
    I have to keep pushing on either one of  the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.

    I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
    Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.

  • The inspector stopped working after update

    The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

    Hi jeau300!
    Here is an article that can give you some tips about using your computer with your external monitor in closed clamshell mode:
    Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
    How to disconnect your Mac notebook from the display after use:
    For best results it is recommend that you put your computer to sleep before disconnecting your display.
    Note: Some DVI and Mini DisplayPort displays—including Apple's aluminum-framed DVI displays and the 24-inch and 27-inch LED Cinema Displays—can be unplugged without putting the computer to sleep. If you aren't sure whether your display supports this feature, put your computer to sleep before unplugging the display.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • MBP Keys 1 to 9 stop working after update to 10.9.5

    Hi,
    I just update my MacBook Pro 13" mi-2012 10.9.4 to 10.9.5
    Keys 1 to 9 (and associated special characters) are having problem to work. I was typping and they just stop working. When I press keys 1 to 9 a lot of time, they start working again for few seconds, and stop again.
    It's very annoying
    I've tried everything I could find on Apple Support (like http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381), but the problem is still there. I've tried also to restart the computer, and to change session. Same problem.
    Keys worked just fine before the update to 10.9.5
    Is anyone knows or has this problem ?
    Thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Many Adobe CC programs stopped working after updating Windows 8 to Windows 8.1

    I've just updated my Dell XPS1 27 from windows 8 to 8.1, every thing looked ok until I tried to run Bridge CC and a I get the "... stopped working" error. Checking some  other programs like Indesign and Illustrator I'm finding that they open but stop responding after a short time. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that solves the problem. A cautionary note to anyone contemplating the update. Anyone else experienced this?

    Moral to the story is don't use preview software on a production machine.
    I would prefer to use the cleaner tool after uninstalling trial versions, gives you the options to check new releases before buying
    But then again, when you depend on a production machine it is indeed wise to act carefully...

  • IMessage stops working after updating to ios 7

    i have an iphone 4s and after updating to ios 7 imessage stopped working. i tried to activate it and it just doesn't. i tried to restore it and use a backup and it's still not working

    I have the exact same problem that you have described. I have tried all the "fixes" that have been suggested and not a single one has worked.
    Apparently we are part of a small** percentage of Apple users that have been affected.
    Small to Apple is over 2 million people.
    You would think that for such a large company who has had mutiple iOS update problems in the past ( The iOS 5 update bricked my phone ) they would have these issues resolved by now.
    It's been 2 weeks and there are multiple contacts that I cannot text or they can't reply to me.
    It is very frustrating!
    It seems the only solution right now is to do a complete factory reset of the phone, but even then it could take up to 24 hours for your iMessage to verify, if it infact works.
    I am very disappounted in Apple and the service they have "provided" to solve this issue.
    Perhaps next time they do an update they should restrict who can dowload it and when to avoid bogging down the servers and causing issued.
    As perviously noted though this issue only affect a **small** percentage of Apple users, so I am sure they are in no hurry to fix this issue, after all it's been 2 weeks and even with the iOS 7.0.2 update the problem STILL isn't resolved.

  • Dell XPS 15 l502x mini-Display Port stopped working after update.

    After the updates on the 11-10-2014 my mini-display port (which worked great previously and is part of the Intel Graphics) stopped working.
    Am running Arch 64bit with Slim + E19
    The symptoms are:
    1. Detects monitor from the laptop and xrandr throws no errors
    2. Enlightenment thinks the screen is connected and it appears in the screen setup as on.
    3. The monitor no longer recognizes that there is a laptop plugged in and just stays off...

    I suspect this is some type of driver regression (kernel/mesa/xorg) but am not sure as I have not seen much information about this issue online.
    Unless someone has a better idea... when I get time to try to resolve the issue I will update this post.

    So I downgraded those packages and the kernel with no luck.
    I tried to get the HDMI working via Synergy... and failed
    I then tested the Display Port on Windows and it did not work there either - exhibiting the same symptoms as Linux - the OS sees the monitor but no data was transferred.
    So I ended up using one of my Display Link monitors at work... the USB monitors were ok, just an irritation with a flickering mouse.
    I hope it is the miniDP>HDMI adapter and not the port... very frustrated by this problem.
    I hope to test another adapter soon.
    I think as nobody else is experiencing this issue that it may well be hardware/firmware related.
    Hope there is a happy end to this post but not feeling so positive right now.

  • [Solved] NetworkManager-pptp VPN not working after update to 0.9.10

    Hello,
    I have a PPTP VPN set up and it's been working for a long time.  However, after I updated last night to networkmanager-0.9.10, it is no longer able to connect to the remote network.  I can activate the VPN connection, enter my password, but after a short period of time, the connection reports:  "Error: Connection activation failed: the VPN service returned invalid configuration."  As I mentioned before, this VPN was working right before the update and I didn't change the configuration on either my computer or the destination network so I'm pretty sure that this is something to do with the update.  I'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and if they've been able to find a solution.  I've been searching all over these forums and the internet for some hours now and I haven't found anything yet.  I'm hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction or maybe know of something that might have changed with the new update.
    Here is my VPN configuration (using NetworkManager-PPTP.  I've also obscured the public IP address):
    [connection]
    id=MyVPN
    uuid=fe6e6265-1a79-4a69-b6d1-8b47e9d4c948

    Hmm, not sure about the 3.16 series kernel, but I found that when I upgraded to kernel 3.18 the PPTP VPN also stopped working.  This time, though, it was because, for some reason, there was a change in kernel 3.18 where the firewall kernel modules necessary for the VPN don't get loaded so the firewall won't allow some of the PPTP traffic from the remote side back in.  Since the firewall is stateful, these modules need to be loaded so that the firewall can know that the incoming PPTP traffic from the remote side is part of an existing connection.  Here's what my network manager logs looked like:

    NetworkManager[619]: ** (nm-pptp-service:31139): WARNING **: pppd exited with error code 16
    NetworkManager[619]: <info> VPN service 'pptp' disappeared
    To fix this, I had to add a file to the /etc/modules-load.d directory to have the modules loaded into the kernel at boot.  I just created a file called netfilter.conf and put the following in it:
    nf_nat_pptp
    nf_conntrack_pptp
    nf_conntrack_proto_gre
    Not sure if this addresses your problem or not, but maybe it's worth a look.
