Added by paol ramirez over 10 years ago

hello how to righr install tbs5922se on ubuntu ? I've done all that but without recognizing the DVB-S2 card usb tbs5922se can someone please help me? thank you

README file for TurboSight TBS 5921 DVB-S/S2 USB box Linux drivers

NOTE: this document assumes that all prerequisite packages like kerner headers
and build tools are already installed in your Linux system.

Most of the steps require root access to and basic knowledge of Linux system.

Create directory, for example /root/tbs and copy the following file to it:

- linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 (S2API Linix driver for TurboSight TBS 5921)
- dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5921.fw (QBOXS3 USB firmware file)
- szap-s2.tar.bz2 (szap tool compatible with new DVB-S2 aware S2 API for Linux)
- scan-s2.tar.bz2 (scan tool compatible with new DVB-S2 aware S2 API for Linux)
- astra_szap-s2.conf (example configuration file for szap-s2)
- astra_scan-s2.conf (example configuration file for scan-s2)
- v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw (CX23885 AV core firmware, not needed for USB box)

I.0 install the QBOXS3 USB firmware file "dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5921.fw" /lib/firmware/:

mv dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5921.fw /lib/firmware/

I.1 extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive:

  1. tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

I.2 go to driver package directory:

  1. cd linux-tbs-drivers

I.3 depending on your kernel version and if the kernel is x86 or
x86_64 (check output of 'uname -a') do:

- for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x):

  1. ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

- for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x):

  1. ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

- for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux):

  1. ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

I.4 build and install the driver:

  1. make && make install

I.5 reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:

  1. shutdown -r now

I.6 after reboot check that the newly installed driver is loaded correctly:

  1. dmesg | grep QBOXS3

if everything is OK, the output from the above command should be similar to:

dvb-usb: found a 'TBS QBOXS3 DVBS2 USB2.0' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
dvb-usb: found a 'TBS QBOXS3 DVBS2 USB2.0' in warm state.
DVB: registering new adapter (TBS QBOXS3 DVBS2 USB2.0)
QBOXS3: TBS5921FE attached.
dvb-usb: TBS QBOXS3 DVBS2 USB2.0 successfully initialized and connected.

Nobody will help you without you first giving what the output of the above commands was, you haven't even given the error message you are experiencing.
Give that and you might get some help.
