All, I am a Linux newbie trying to install a PCTV 73eSE DVB-T receiver, but the driver apparently does not get loaded.
These are the 'cookbook' steps I followed: -Fresh Ubuntu 9.10 distribution installed. -kernel upgraded to 2.6.31-20-generic (using Ubuntu upgrade tool) -Mercurial installed -V4L-DVB kernel modules downloaded (source) -make (screen output attached) -make install -reboot (with the DVB-T USB dongle attached during boot) Outcome: -There is no /dev/dvb directory -/proc/modules does not list any relevant reference to the PCTV 73eSE USB dongle (apparently the correct driver for that should be the DIB0700 driver) Looking at the mailing list, there is some history on the PCTV 73eSE device: apparently this was originally owned by Pinnacle; the same device can have 2 different manuf ID's. Posts on the list (nov / dec 2009) point out that corrections have been done to support both manuf ID's. The relevant lsusb -v output is: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2013:0245 Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x2013 idProduct 0x0245 bcdDevice 1.00 iManufacturer 1 PCTV Systems iProduct 2 PCTV 73e SE iSerial 3 0000000M99B4P6Q bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 46 bNumInterfaces 1 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0xa0 (Bus Powered) Remote Wakeup MaxPower 500mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber 0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 4 bInterfaceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bInterfaceSubClass 0 bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x01 EP 1 OUT bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x81 EP 1 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x82 EP 2 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 1 Endpoint Descriptor: bLength 7 bDescriptorType 5 bEndpointAddress 0x83 EP 3 IN bmAttributes 2 Transfer Type Bulk Synch Type None Usage Type Data wMaxPacketSize 0x0200 1x 512 bytes bInterval 1 Device Qualifier (for other device speed): bLength 10 bDescriptorType 6 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 bNumConfigurations 1 Device Status: 0x0000 (Bus Powered) The vendor ID in my case apparently is 0x2013. I am able to find back this ID in the source files (but I am not a programmer), so it looks as if this is not the reason why the driver doens't get loaded. Nevertheless, the 'automagic' part of udev seems to have abandoned me:) Any idea's to proceed on this? Thanks in advance, Luc Boschmans.
