Ubuntu Installation :: Installing Intex SAA7134 On 10.04?
Jun 2, 2010
I have tried (and failed) a couple of times in the past. I recently took the plunge with 10.04 and I'm having a hard time installing my Intex TV tuner. Everything's ok except for that. I have tried scouring the forums (and the web) and there are a ton of different steps, but I cannot seem to identify which one will work for me.Here's what I get when i type dmesg (please excuse me for posting the entire thing).. I actually had to delete some lines to make it fit the 19kb limit.
I tried these steps:

This one I can't understand too much:
[URL]
But I still can't seem to find what card and tuner to select.
How do i install a intex TV tuner card I am very new to ubuntu and only know to use a little of it. I have a intex tv tuner card with FM. how do i add this as my hardware i wa earlier using windows XP and i also have drivers for XP and inter video Win DVR application for viewing TV on XP.
But on ubuntu how do i see TV and how do i install the card.
How do i install intex tv tuner card (PCI ver 2.1) on ubuntu 9.01 I have installed myth tv my problem is which card do i select i selected Analog card and MJPG as well but when i go to scan for channels says FAILED TO OPEN CARD.
after the installation, the card was detected and /dev/video0 was created but dmesg indicated that the card is not among the ones listed as supported and since card did not have EEPROM, the card was not up and running right away.i have edited /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf and added options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Code:
$sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/tvcard.conf
added:
Code:
options saa7134 card=3 tuner=14
Then CTRL+X to exit
still it did not work. tvtime would always say no signal and tvtime-scanner never picked up any channels. then i followed instruction given by rsramkee [URL]. edited saa7134-cards.c and deployed new kernel linux-2.6.36.2 with changes.i rebooted machine to windows selected one channel in tv tuner software of windows, again rebooted machine to ubuntu (i have dual boot windows XP and ubuntu 2.6.35.23). tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS (No sound), but not be able to tune any other stations.In mplayer able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound.
i followed instruction given by http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Saa7134-alsa to set up sound. loading the loopback module with the command:
$ pactl load-module module-loopback
Now tvtime able display video of channel that is selected in windows OS with sound, but not be able to tune any other stations. Not be able to tune any stations.dmesg output:
i'm not be able to tune any stations using tvtime and xawtv. if channel is not selected in windows OS for more then 1 hour then tvtime displays message no signal, same message in tvtime-scaner (No sound).
I have installed tvtime in CentOS 5.5. I'm using a phillips tvtuner card saa7134. But when I modprobe saa7134, it says Module saa7134 not found. [root@unknown0019d1b5e07a Desktop]# modprobe saa7134 FATAL: Module saa7134 not found. [root@unknown0019d1b5e07a Desktop]#lspci | grep -i 'saa' 02:02.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)
configure tvtuner on Fedora 14. I have an old analog tv tuner with saa7134 chipset and trying to connect it with cable tv, after quick google-ing i read that the driver for this model are included in the kernel by default, but when i open tvtime i get the following error:
I have a hard time unloading a module (that is it's more stubborn than an aging leprechaun) that is being reported as not being used by lsmod:
Code: Select allroot@groot:~# modprobe -vr saa7134_alsa modprobe: FATAL: Module saa7134_alsa is in use. root@groot:~# lsmod | grep saa saa7134_alsa 17686 0 saa7134 174878 1 saa7134_alsa tveeprom 20593 1 saa7134
[Code] .....
Why I would need such an outlandish thing is that after I was forced to do a system reinstall thus losing my previous conf files I've been trying to reinstall my saa7134 tvcard. Normally i2c should handle the problem but it won't detect it. So I have a nice little script I found and modified to find the correct card although it is a bit tedious to run:
Code: Select all#/bin/sh MAXCARD=150 for m in $(seq 0 $MAXCARD); do MAXTUNER=69 for i in $(seq 0 $MAXTUNER);
[Code] ...
But I can't unload saa7134 because saa7134_alsa is using it, and I can't unload saa7134_alsa, because, well, because the system doesn't feel like it. I've blacklisted the module (saa7134_alsa) but it gets loaded none the less and won't go away.
I am new here and I have tried checking similar threads as well as other sources in the net but could not get my card working. I use Debian squeeze on a P4 2.4MHz machine with 2 GB ram. lspci can detect all 8 chips but could not load the proper module since it could not identify the vendor. I have tried unloading the SAA7134 module and reloading repeatedly all possible cards from 1 to 174 by "modprobe -i SAA7134 card=#,#,#,#,#,#,#,# #-numbers 1 to 174 one a a time.
I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu, but before I do that I'd like to know if installing it removes your copy of Windows. If it does, is there any way I can work around that?
Proc Core2Duo 6750 MB MSI P35 Neo 2 RAM Corsair 4GB Video Gigabyte GTS250 HDD 2x320GB Seagate in RAID 0 and 1GB WD
I have a Windows 7 installation with a boot partition on the RAID. I also want to have a dual boot with openSUSE 11.2 but I don't know how to set correctly my partitions. I have some unallocated space next to the Windows C: partition. When I try to install openSUSE it makes a suggestion to create some partitions that i don't need and don't want, and even doesn't mount them. It also creates a / 80GB, /boot 36MB, swap 2GB and /home 20GB partitions, so I am in lack of free space.
I don't know how to create screenshots during installation. Maybe I'll try to reinstall later and pick some screens in english, because my system language is bulgarian.
Well I'm an apple person. So naturally when I heard about hackintoshing I took it. Buying several HP minis and installing OS X on them. Thank god for iDeneb 1.3! Anyway, to the topic. I wanted to triple boot OS X, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04. The HP Mini 110 will be my play toy.Now, I partitioned it as followed and have successfully installed OS X and Windows 7. ANd have a partition for Ubuntu.
*Mac OS Extended Journaled - Mac OS X 10.5.5 (soon updating) - 20Gb *NFTS - Windows 7 Ultimate - 16Gb *FAT32 - FOR UBUNTU - 10Gb *FAT32 - Data Partition - 100Gb aprox.
I'm in the process of installing UNR 9.04 on my machine, I already have Ubuntu 8.04 installed. I plan to replace the OS, will using the option during the installation 'use entire disk' delete my existing files?
NOTE: THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION OF A TUTORIAL FOUNDHERE. I AM NOT RESONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PS3These instructions were only tested on a 40GB ps3 phat running firmware 3.15 NOT connected to the internet and I can personally confirm this works There are more accurate guides available for those who want to install 7.10 or 8.04. Following this guide will probably be fine, but for more details follow those links!Guide to installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 Many people installing Ubuntu 10.04 on there PS3 have been encountering mounting problems where after a successful installation of Ubuntu, the system boots up only to detect no drives with linux installed.
The PS3 has a unique feature that allows you to install a third-party operating system on the console. Because of its popularity and ease of use, Ubuntu Linux is a good choice. By installing Ubuntu, your PlayStation 3 becomes much more than just a game console. You can use it as a home computer (running desktop applications), a web- or file server, play media files, and run applications like Firefox, Open office and multimedia tools.
Installing Ubuntu 10.04 on the PS3 will take several hours (3-4 for me). The process involves three steps: Formatting PS3 to run Linux Installing Ubuntu Setting up your PS Ubuntu installation
Set up your PS3 to run Linux You have to format your PS3 hard drive to install Ubuntu. You will probably want to back up your save games! You will also need to let go of some 10GB of disk space.
Today I downloaded the newest version of ubuntu. We have got two laptops, one with vista, one with windows7. Ubuntu did properly install only with Vista. What can I do with the Windows7-one?
installing Open Office 3.2. Once I downloaded it, I extracted it, then went to the desktop integration folder. I clicked that and it took me to "openoffice.org-debian-menus" and I installed that package.
When I bought my computer from a friend, he told me that it had 60Gbs in it. Well, when I began to install Ubuntu Linx 9.10 I came to the point of decission of whether or not to delete Windows XP or run Ubuntu 9.10 along with Windows XP. I had a decision to make and I honestly thought I had enough free space to run both. I kept on having problems bringing up Ubuntu. It would go so far and then it would freeze. Well I updated GNOME and I was able to login and try a few things. I of course downloaded and installed the program that I needed to run the program that was running my online radio station. I also downloaded a scanner for to check virusus. I then tried to download some other softwear but I deleted them and kept the scanner and the other program that plays my radio station. Since I did that I logged out and shut down the computer. I haven't been able to get to the point to where I can login again. It freezes. How can I add more memory of free space to run Ubutu. If there is no way of doing that how can I delete Ubuntu and start all over again so that I can again install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 and take off Windows XP so I can run Ubuntu. I really do like the Ubuntu's system. It is so very quick bringing up websites. I have a 32bit download on the CD. I found out the computer was only 16Gbs.
I'm trying to upgrade my netbook (sylvania meso g) from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 9.10 i downloaded the ISO downloaded the usb creator so that i could put it on my thumb drive, create the ISO and reboot with my freshely made ISO thumbdrive. When i reboot i get to the install screen select install and my netbook reboots and starts the process all over again without 9.10 ever being installed. When i select help i get the install screen but if at the very tipy top of my screen you see a 1/2in section that i cant read because it so small for help screen.
Sometime ago I got Apache2 working. I also did my best to enable it for SSL, but failed. I'd like to give that another go. I have OpenSSL installed and all (or so Karmic reports). But port 443 gives an error when I try to connect.
One was a desktop Pentium 4 single core 1.8GHz with 244.5 MiB Ram and a 17.7 GB hard drive with a keyboard and mouse. The other was a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. The laptop did not have a power supply so I order one off ebay for 10 bucks. I bought both computers for 25 cents each. That's right 25 cents. The mouse was worth that much. Well I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on the desktop and that is what I am using right now. It runs a little slow, but it works great so far. I plan on installing 10.04 on the laptop when I get the power supply. I may boast the memory up on the desktop and give it to some needy person in my area.
One point I wanted to make on 10.4, I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 which I have 9.04 on. I had a hard time getting it to run because of video and wireless problems. I tried to run 10.4 on it, and it still has the same issues. Does not like my wireless card and my Hanns-G 22 inch monitor flicker and I can't fix it with the refresh rate. But when I used this monitor on the desktop it works just great, so I think it is a graphic card issue. I don't think the Dell Inspiron 1521 and Ubuntu like each other. I hope I can get Ubuntu installed on the Dell Inspiron 6000. I was just wondering if anyone has it installed on one, and if the install went well?n closing I just want to say Ubuntu has come a long way, but it would be nice to see it run on my 1521 laptop with out so many issues. I wanted to update to 10.4, but I don't want to do it and find I have problems.
currently my partitions are as thus: / is linux mint /home is a separate partion and I have a 12gb swap. How does one go about installing another linux over the old one with my setup. Do i just format / and leave /home
I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a friends NEC VERSA P7200, which had Windows XP.I set up two new partitions, sda3 (for /) and sda5 for swap.After installing 10.04, I rebooted to get "unknown filesystem", then grub rescue> prompt.After reading a ton of suggestions, and after typing insmod normal, normal, I get the Ubuntu splash screen with ability to boot into Ubuntu or windows.Rebooting gives the same error, then if I type insmod normal, normal, at the grub rescue> prompt it allows selection of ubuntu/windows/test memory etc.
i'm having trouble trying to get ubuntu to install on my vaio VPC-S11V9E, as soon as i try to boot from the CD I get a purple screen for a few seconds then the display powers off, I've tried the 32 and 64bit editions, booting from the CD and installing from within windows but no matter what method I try I always end up with the screen powered off completely blank?
I used Truecrypt in Windows and it worked pretty well. I tried to install the program on Ubuntu but got some problem. Here is what I did and the problems I got:
1. I downloaded the standard 32-bit tag.gz file from [URL]
2. Extract the file onto desktop
3. Installed by double clicking and run in terminal or directly run in terminal (I assume they are equal)
4. Follow the instructions till 'Press Enter to exit'.
For me it seems that the program is installed successfully, and the icon shows up in the Application- Accessories menu. However, it doesn't respond at all when I click the icon. For most of the software I used in Windows, I have already found equivalents that are working fine. And I really don't want to go back to Windows because this program.
