Well, the alarm was not so false as it seemed at first sight. Strangely DVB-T worked after uninstalling the firmware package, but not for long. After a few reboots of the system, the DVB-T adapter was not found anymore, so I concluded that there is actually no driver in the kernel but some remnants of the firmware package might have been left after unstalling to make DVB-T work. Anyhow, I have no real idea, what made the adapter work.
Now the situation is this: I have installed the firmware package and the adapter is working. I can only use VLC as a client. Totem cannot read its own configuration file and Kaffeine doesn't show any programs at all. In VLC I have full access to all selected programs. BUT: after some time (something between five and fifteen minutes, never constant) without any obvious cause first the sound disappears and then I have to be quick to close VLC or I'll get a complete system freeze within seconds. I can only "shut down" the machine by disconnecting it from the power supply. This happens always, only the delay between starting VLC and the crash varies. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773768 Title: Need firmware for AfaTech AF9015 DVB-T stick with TDA18218 tunerchip -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
