I have made a little more progress on this. The mythtv-backend daemon is started using "upstart" in 10.04 and using rc.local means that the "fix" is applied afterhe backend process has already started (and therefore does not work). A partial solution is to add the modprobe workaround to the mythtv-backend upstart job configuration file: /etc/init/mythtv- backend.conf.
This works 100% for me when manually starting the mythtv-backend - using "sudo stop mythtv-backend" followed by "sudo start mythtv-backend". Unfortunately I can't get this to work automatically on a re-boot of the machine. I suspect either a subtle timing issue during the boot process or a problem with Upstart or the mythtv-upstart job. Unfortunately Upstart seems very opaque to me and I am unable to debug this issue further despite several hours of research. I am also wondering if the original bug is also caused by a boot sequence/timing/upstart issue? I have attached the modified Upstart job configuration file in case this works for anyone else. ** Attachment added: "mythtv-backend.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/368215/+attachment/1856221/+files/mythtv-backend.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368215 Title: Nebula DigiTV DVB-T (PCI) no longer works -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
