[Solved] Hauppauge PVR-250 + Lirc = Kernel Oops & Pain

Using:
- Hauppauge PVR-250
--- ivtv
--- lirc_dev
--- lirc_i2c
Modprobe ivtv? Fine.
Modprobe the lirc modules? Fine.
Start lircd service? Fine.
Try to use lirc? FAIL.
This will be my own little self dialog as I get reintroduced to all the pain I use to experience trying to setup MythTV.

This is indeed a problem in the lirc 0.8.2 package in extra. I have submitted a bug with a fixed PKGBUILD of lirc 0.8.3.

[SOLVED] Hauppauge PVR-500 - Cannot request encoder memory region.

Hello all
I need some help getting this card to work on my two year old mythbox that's been tunerless since day one.
I installed the card, ivtv-utils and did pacman -Syu
but, I have no video devices in /dev
This is whats happening during startup.

I just got this tuner card used off eBay so I don't know if something is wrong with the card itself or not. It seems to be in pretty good shape, it came with all the original packaging. If all else fails I can drag out an old system and install Windows Xp on it to test it.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your problem looked interesting, so I thought I'd dig down underneath the covers. But this is a single person's opinion as a driver developer, but not a Linux driver developer... A massive difference... So take it with a healthy dose of skepticism.
But the bottom line is my opinion is that you might want to head on over to the LinuxTV.org folks and see what they have to say.
The tldr; version follows:
I drilled down on this error message: "ivtv0: Cannot request encoder memory region."
That comes from the drivers/media/pci/ivtv/ivtv-driver.c file... and here's the snippet of code from the latest "linux-stable" code tree in the "ivtv_setup_pci" function:
if (!request_mem_region(itv->base_addr, IVTV_ENCODER_SIZE, "ivtv encoder
IVTV_ERR("Cannot request encoder memory region.\n");
return -EIO;
It appears that call is attempting to map the PCI IO memory for your PCI adapter... and it fails with that -EIO (-5) error code.
There can be multiple reasons for the failure, but the LinuxTV folks may be able to determine the reason for your particular instance.

[SOLVED] mythtv - No picture using Hauppauge pvr-150

Hi All,
I have just set up mythtv but cannot get a live picture using the Hauppauge pvr 150. The card is working (thanks to enrique) and can both stream video and record video either live or in a cron job. I am attaching the cable directly to the card instead of using a digital cable box. This limits the available channels but thats OK since this connection probably won't be used that often.
I don't recall seeing any options specifying whether the cable connection is analog or digital, nor do I recall seeing any options pertaining to the video card. I don't know what I'm doing wrong so any and all tips will be appreciated.
Thanks
Larry

Problem Solved:
The dodo (Me), kept putting the card in as "analog v4l device" which is how myth set it up.
It should be MPEG-2 encoder card (PVR-x50,500).
I just wasn't being careful enough to check all possibilities.
Seems to be working.
Maybe that will help someone.

Help with a Kernel Oops that I don't understand

I'm in the process of installing Arch on a new setup based on a Zotac-IONITX-b motherboard.
I have pretty much come to the end of the initial set up of Arch but I am experiencing something that makes me clueless, A kernel Oops.
This is the output from dmesg as it happens:

My kernel skills are next to zero so I don't even know where to begin to look for things to fix. The only thing I know is that if I set the runlevel to 5 at boot I get the Oops straight at boot. It appears that xorg (with nvidia module) starts loading but only makes it to about half a deacent log file. And when I try to issue lsmod the terminal just hangs.
Runlevel 3 boots fine witout the Oops but as soons as I try to do something module related (like lsmod again) the Oops is right there.
Any ideas what to do about this or am I down the reinstall route again?

I'm still having problems with this
I don't really know where to begin when it comes to prevent modules being loaded. Which ones are safe to remove etc?
This is what I get at boot trying to get straight into X.
Can anyone make something out of the dump? Any ideas what might be wrong is much appreciated.

edit:
I hope this is solved now. I couldn't figure out what module that was acting up so I reinstalled and started slowly to install and activate my devices. As soon as I reached the point of installing X, and specifically the nvidia drivers, it all went bonkers again.
I uninstalled the nvidia oackage and built the beta drivers from AUR, but had the same result. I ten turned to nvidia directly and installed their driver (the.run file) and after that everything seems to run smoothly.
So, probably there is something in the pacman package that doesn't work with my Zotac IONitx board.
Edit again:
The error is back and I have filed a bug report to nvidia. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they can solve this for me.

Hauppauge PVR-150 Capture, Audio Static/Noise IVTV Composite input

Hello,
This is my first post.
I have been migrating from Gentoo to Arch after 7-8 years using gentoo, I think Arch is great. even though precompiled packages have there downside. anyway.
I have problem with static/noise audio when capturing from Composite using IVTV, im running kernel 3.0.4 arch kernel.
I have 10 Hauppauge PVR-150 (+1 PVR-500) Cards running, the problem occurs in a random card after reboot.
Video is fine on all cards, but sometimes the audio on either one of the 11 cards get static/noise in the audio background.. sometimes allot, other times just a little bit noise/static.
I tried the wiki, and searched the forum, but can't find a solution, can anyone help me??
I can provide sample (cat /dev/videoX > sample.mpeg) if interested.
See dmesg: http://pastebin.com/U2JnJ0Zr
Thank you

Hello,
changing to constant bitrate seems to correct the problem,
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX --set-ctrl=video-bitrate-mode=1
and then remember to not have the capture source audio volume to more than 75%.

WinTV PVR 250 compatibility ?

Hello,
Does anyone know if the PCI card WinTV PVR 250 from Hauppauge is compatible with a SIS 655 chipset based mainboard like the 655 MAX ?
At this time it is not even recognized by the system, it worked rather fine on a VIA system Abit board.

I also am having this issue, tried the PVR-250 in different slots, removed each PCI devie and tried. My system beeps an error code whenever the card is inserted, and never posts. I have the GNB Max MS-6565 Board. If anyone can figure this out please email me at [email protected]

Thank you soo much -> moving forward to xbmc mappings (8

[SOLVED]Tuner stoped working after kernel update (2.6.25)

I upgraded kernel 2.6.24 to 2.6.25 and my Hauppauge WINTV tuner stopped working. Although it was recognized as I show in dmesg I had the following error "tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set". I downgraded to kernel 2.6.24 (and also downgraded nvidia and lirc packages which were dependencies) and the tuner works fine. This time tuner type is set correctly "tuner 1-0061: type set to Philips PAL/SECAM m" What should I do to make it work with newest kernel?
This is some info from dmesg relevant to my tuner card.

I tried the latest 2.26.5.6 kernel and I get the same tuner 1-0061: tuner type not set message. This time when I open xawtv I can watch the first channel in my list, but I can't change between channels. Radio doesn't work at all.
Below I include modules that are loaded in kernel .25 and after that those loaded with the working .24 one. Any ideas?

[SOLVED]problem with Bumblebee and Kernel 3.11-1-2

Hi!
I'm having problems with Bumblebee from Kernel 3.10 but I read that Kernel 3.11 solved the problem, I searched and tried possible solutions to my problem unsuccessfully
The message shows me when I run "optirun":

[SOLVED] XBMC-standalone and LIRC

Hello everyone,
I have been fiddling around with a minimal Arch setup to just run XBMC. So I installed it and enabled the systemd service. Everything works just fine. So I installed lird and a self-compiled kernel module for the XboxDVDDongle which works just fine with lird, when I test it with 'irw'. But how can I tell XBMC to use my xbox dongle as input? Since I don't really know how to manually confgure XBMC because in standalone mode one does not have a '~/.xbmc' folder anywhere. I am a bitepuzzled here. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Thanks in advance!
Last edited by Labello (2013-11-19 19:11:55)

I recently fussed with getting this working myself, and in my case apparently the issue lies in XBMC itself; it expects a /dev/lircd when there isn't one in newer LIRC versions such as Arch use.
Try copying the stock lirc.service to /etc/systemd/system/ and modifying it as follows:
[Unit]
Description=Linux Infrared Remote Control
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /run/lirc
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ln -sf /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
PIDFile=/run/lirc/lircd.pid
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then try rebooting and/or restarting XBMC and the LIRC service.
Relevant bit is only this one.
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ln -sf /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
I added the other ExecStartPre due to some odd issues with /run/lirc not being created like 1 out of every 10 boots, not entirely relevant to this specific issue.
Thanks go to this thread for the original solution!

Kernel oops, then panic, then catastrophic crash when using ethernet

I'm running arch on my laptop, using netcfg to manage networks. I can connect with no problems using wireless, to any kind of wireless network, which is what I've been doing most of the time, as my house until recently only had wireless in the first place.
A few months ago I was at a friend's house, and we hooked up my computer to their wired internet. Within about a minute or two, while I was still in tty1, the screen flickered briefly, dumped out a bunch of messages (three or so, I didn't get a chance to look clearly) that said "uuuhhhh... Dazed and trying to continue." Then it did a panic, and dumped the panic message. About a second after that, the screen became frenetic and staticy and it starting blurring and stretching the display (hopefully someone else knows what I'm talking about because i can't really describe it any better). Never before have I had THAT part happen on a kernel panic.
I just ignored it because wireless works fine, so I figured maybe something was odd about their network. That was a few months ago.
Recently I installed wired connections in my own house and connected it... Same thing. Every time. It could take thirty seconds to happen, it could wait about twenty minutes... But eventually, the computer WILL go down.
I thought it might have something to do with hardware interrupts, because when I logged dmesg and tried to make it happen again it kept mentioning irqs and PS1 (my mouse i think). But I don't know. It doesn't mention a panic in the log, nor an oops... Nothing. The log just ends.
Here is a link to the file I dumped it into: http://pastebin.com/kXp3P3GG
Anything else I should check?

Edit: There's a good chance this belongs in hardware.

So I tried upgrading my BIOS with a CD i got from the toshiba website. I tried numerous different kernel options... Turning off ACPI in various ways (pci=noacpi, acpi=noirq...) prevent it from crashing but disable network access.
I did notice a more clear look at the oops. It said that it was due to "unknown reason 3d." Does that mean anything? And it said "do you have a strange power management setup?" or something very like that. I do have laptop-mode-utils installed, but I don't see any mention of any problem like this around the documentation of laptopmodeutils. Is that a possibility?
Does it make sense to install something like irqbalance, or isapnp? Does that have any chance of changing anything?
Also, I don't know if it's normal but when I boot the usual way, and then cat /proc/interrupts, I get:
CPU0 CPU1

MCE: 0 0 Machine check exceptions

Then if I plug in the ethernet (still booted the normal way) it adds a line directly below radeon (video card) that says 41 blah blah PCI-MSI=edge eth0 where blah blah are numbers. These are the only two devices like that, but I don't know if that's normal.
I'm grateful for the help.
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Device not found and kernel panic

Hi,
I'm having an issue with the kernel. I get this weird error while booting:
Booting the kernel.
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device ''.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs /]# _
I don't have the slightest idea what to type in that shell, so I exit (^D) and get an error with its shell, another one and finally a kernel panic. Do I have to report the other two error as well? I think this might be related to a recent change in my syslinux.cfg. I wanted to add hibernation cabability to my arch, so I added "resume=/dev/sda2" (my swap) to kernel options. It should not yield such a result though. As a matter of fact, I get it even if I remove that parameter at runtime. For now, I managed to boot with Fallback Initramfs.
Here is syslinux.cfg, as well:

Also, don't use "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/...", that's just wrong. Udev kicks in after the bootloader phase.

Here's mine:

And don't forget to mark it as solved.

[SOLVED] nfsroot install broken after kernel upgrade 3.5.6 to 3.6.2

It seems my nfsroot installations have broken after the kernel upgrade to 3.6.2.
This is as far as the boot process gets now (hand copied from the screen):
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 10.48.50.20):
address: 10.48.50.240 broadcast: 10.48.50.255 netmask: 255.255.255.0

ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device.
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

On the server this is what is logged:

It looks to me like the client is sending the mount request, the server accepts and then for some reason the client thinks it has failed. I can't even see anything strange in the wireshark traces comparing the working client (3.5.6) to the broken one (3.6.2).
Anyone else using nfsroot successfully with the latest kernel?
Any other ideas?
(by the way - despite my directory names, this is using nfs v3 for the rootfs)

Just to confirm that I also have this problem with nfsroot (nfs4 this time) with 3.6.2. Downgrading the kernel does make it go away.
When it is working normally I do seem to get refused unmount messages at shutdown for some reason

, but the /new_root bit is new and I have no idea where it comes from.
refused unmount request from 192.168.1.86 for /new_root (/): not exported
So I wonder if it asking for the wrong path.
That unmount issue will be solved by FS#32021.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help with mounting in the first place with 3.6.2

[SOLVED] Where to find older kernel headers

Hi,
I'm currently stuck on kernel 3.8.11-1 x64 on my netbook as kernel 3.9.2 won't boot - basically hangs while grub tries to start the kernel. Had the same issue with Fedora so I know that it's kernel specific....
Unfortunately my NIC requires that I build the compat-wireless drivers in order to get the alx module in my system. Using the older kernel however, where do I find the headers for it?
Basically I need to populate my /lib/modules with the 3.8.11-1-ARCH bunch; unfortunately my USB boot stick has version 3.8.10 which won't work.
Can anyone help me out?
Also why do the older kernels and related modules etc... get removed so fast from the repo? Shouldn't the older ones be kept for a while at least so if anyone (like me and plenty of others) have issues they can revert back easily without needing to downgrade by finding an older package from somewhere?
Thanks.

Ok did a bit of "housekeeping" and appended [SOLVED] to all my 3 threads so far :-)
P.s. I like Arch it seems a lot as it's kinda hackery since you have to build from scrach and the chroot install is cool too - I think it suites my style of being very CLI heavy
Coupled with a 'real' DEC VTxxx terminal not emulation I think Arch would be the best thing since Ethernet!!

[SOLVED]How to load the kernel?

Hi all
First I should say that I found the same as my question in the internet bot there were no answer can solve my problem too.
I just installed my Arch on my new laptop and I can say I am new.
after all installations and reboot I have grub menu but when I want to boot I face with below error
"error no such device" ad4103....."
"loading linux core repo kernel"
"error: no such partition"
"loading initial ramdisk"
"error: you need to load the kernel first"
I have no access to command line but grub command line.
How can I get rid of this error?

uh...post your fstab as well as your bootloader configuration. I believe your initramfs is loaded from /boot - if you have that on a separate partition you need to make sure that a) it's specified correctly with the correct device name or UUID in fstab and that b) grub picked up the correct location of your initramfs and kernel when running grub-mkconfig (I'm assuming you did run grub-mkconfig before rebooting). Hopefully I'm not too off base here, but your problem lies somewhere in that area.
