[Bug 76501] Re: fails to start without -nodga option
The wrapper script for xawtv has most of what is here in the discussion, but for people who don't have an NVIDIA card, xawtv still does not start with the default /usr/bin/xawtv script. I have an ubuntu 8.04 and the default error message (without adding a manual -nodga) still gives the same XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode error message. For me, (contrary to what peter funk added on 29th Feb 2008), the if condition without the double quotes works fine for me. That is rather than this script (which comes with ubuntu 8.04)... if [ ! "$XAWTV_USE_DGA" ] && [ -n "`xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX`" ] ; then ARGS="-nodga" fi the following script atleast gets xawtv working for me : if [ ! "$XAWTV_USE_DGA" ] && [ -n `xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX` ] ; then ARGS="-nodga" fi I am not a shell script expert, and so please pardon my ignorance, if I be talking something out of the blue here. -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76501] Re: fails to start without -nodga option
Intersting. I have an ati All-In-Wonder 8500DV (R200) and I am having similar troubles. I got the tv to work once. Don't know what went wrong since. When I try xawtv -nodga I get: This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.22-14-generic) xinerama 0: 1280x1024+0+0 Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-ledfixed-medium-r-*--39-*-*-*-c-*-*-*" to type FontStruct config: invalid value for input: (null) valid choices for "input": "composite", "tuner", "svideo" config: invalid value for norm: (null) valid choices for "norm": "XV_IMAGE", "pal", "ntsc", "secam", "pal_60" I can set the configurator as many times as I want and click save, and I still get the same. The values don't want to stick. I personally think that the program is looking for stuff that was put somewhere else. -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 76501] Re: fails to start without -nodga option
This is my first StableReleaseUpdate Proposal for Gutsy: 1. statement explaining the impact: xawtv will not start up due to shell script syntax error (For end users this as serious as a segfault on startup in a binary application), if the system in question is equipped with a NVidia graphics card and driver. NVidia graphics cards are widespread, so many users are effected. Without this patch the program is unuable on Gutsy with a NVidia. 2. how the bug has been addressed: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/76501/comments/18 or the description of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/157547, where Luca Falavigna wrote: xawtv (3.95.dfsg.1-7) unstable; urgency=low * Applied Tim Connors's patch for xawtv wrapper (Closes: #47) 3. A patch: Since only a single line of code is effected, a patch file is overkill. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/76501/comments/18 4. Detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug: Try to run xawtv from the menu or the command line on a computer equipped with NVidia graphics. Try the command xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX first to make sure the test system is effected by the problem: This should return a line similar to this string here: "NV-GLX (opcode: 146)" 5. A discussion of the regression potential: Almost no risk, because the patch only removes a trivial shell syntax error. -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Please apply the trivial patch to the shell wrapper script /usr/bin/xawtv, which I described https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xawtv/+bug/76501/comments/18 Thank you very much. ** Changed in: xawtv (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz) -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76501] Re: fails to start without -nodga option
7.10 (gutsy): We patched the shell-wrapper script /usr/bin/xawtv: Replace the line number 12 which contains the following if [ `xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX` ] ; then with either if [ "`xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep NV-GLX`" ] ; then or more elegant if xpdyinfo --queryExtensions | grep -q NV-GLX ; then This is because the command returns something like NV-GLX (opcode: 146) which is invalid as a CONDITIONAL EXPRESSION in bash without the surrounding quotes. After that the patch xawtv started without the problem. This trivial patch should make into the gutsy package. -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Running gutsy amd64, nvidia-glx-new on an 8800 GTX and an OnAir HDTV-GT USB capture card. I did read somewhere that the OnAir card wasn't supported, but that was in Edgy. I can't confirm that it's working at all in Gutsy because, well, I don't know how to confirm it other than to use xawtv and lsusb, which shows some information about the adapter (but getting that working is not a goal of this bug) $ xawtv -nodga [: 12: (opcode:: unexpected operator This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/x86_64 (2.6.22-14-generic) xinerama 0: 1680x1050+0+0 X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode Major opcode of failed request: 137 (XFree86-DGA) Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (XF86DGAGetVideoLL) Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 13 v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory no video grabber device available -- fails to start without -nodga option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/76501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
