Upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and nothing works - Help!

Added by Richard McBride almost 11 years ago

Had TVH running flawlessly under Ubuntu 12.10 - upgraded to 13.10 (saucy) today and could not login to TVH on port 9981. My XBMC client reports no PVR service running.

Thinking maybe the upgrade had broken something, I de-installed tvheadend and tried re-installing, and got this message after apt-get update:

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 83.137.145.55 80]

W: Failed to fetch http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 83.137.145.55 80]

UPDATE: seems the packages for saucy are in /beta, so got tvh working again.

But the kernel upgrade to 3.11 seems to have broken the firmware for the Kworld T499 T09 tuners: (the others - DVB-T P160-2T are working fine). The error message at the bottom seems to indicate a problem with the dvb_usb_af9015 process. Tvh can see the adapters, but they don't respond to tuning requests.

RE: Upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 and nothing works - Help! - Added by Richard McBride almost 11 years ago

Got a feeling I'm talking to myself here, but just in case anybody's listening, I've found out that my Climax Digital DVB-T stick (DVT385), which didn't work under the older kernel, does now work, using the firmware dvb-usb-it9135-01.fw or dvb-usb-it9135-02.fw (not sure which is actually in use).

I had to change the options-dvb.conf file (/etc/modprobe.d/options-dvb.conf) to avoid the multiple adapters problem after a reboot:

Updated /etc/modprobe.d/options-dvb.conf as follows:
'# Set adapter number for Kworld DVB-T PC160-2T dual DVB-T PCI Card
options dvb_usb_af9015 adapter_nr=0,1

'# Set adapter number for Climax Digital DTV395 dual DVB-T USB Stick
options dvb_usb_it913x adapter_nr=2,3

'#Set adapter number for PCTV nanostick T2 290e single DVB-T2 USB Stick
options em28xx_dvb adapter_nr=4

Everything working again on tvh 3.5.247
