Ubuntu Multimedia :: TV Card Fails To Work After Upgrade From Jaunty
Oct 30, 2010
I upgraded fro Jaunty to Karmic and then to Lucid and my TV card has stopped working. I had been informed that this was a result of the splitting of the linux-firmware into two separate packages, but having installed the linux-firmware-nonfree package the problem persists. The card is a Hauppauge WinTV PCI and although it is properly recognised by commands like lsmod, lspci and in the sound card settings, I can't tune in a single channel. It worked out of the box in Jaunty. Is there anything else that needs to be done to get the nonfree firmware working properly?

I had an old machine running Feisty.I followed the EOL guides and upgraded from 7.04 => 7.10 => 8.04 => 8.10 (intrepid).Now that I'm at intrepid, I want to use the update manager to upgrade to 9.04 (Jaunty). Whenever I launch update manager (System->Administration->Update Manager) everything looks fine until I choose "New distribution release '9.04' is available" and click the Upgrade button.
At this point, Update Manager complains and says "Could not find the release notes" "The server may be overloaded". I'm assuming this could be a faulty URL somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. My sources.list seems to work fine for regular intrepid updates, so not sure there would be anything there that could be the fault. Once I get this error, I can only click "close".
Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server. Obviously, my general networking is fine (or I wouldn't be able to post this message)..and again, standard updates work fine.Any insight into what is causing this (or maybe how Update Manager works so that I might try a bit of debugging myself?

Cannot find input plugin for MRL [dvd:/] Is now the message that I get when attempting to play DVDs in Kaffeine, which worked very well in SuSe 10,3 three hours ago. Ironically, VLC now works a treat, when upgrading that in 10.3 killed it.Xine doesn't want to work (restricted format), and Kaffeine isn't playing any files either. Has something been dropped from my previous setup, or do I have an inadequate installation? I'm not very command line oriented I'm afraid;I just expect things to work as they did before...:-)

Been using since summer 2009 the xserver no backfill from PPA: [URL] and it was working fine with my ATI video card. No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!

About a year ago, I installed ubuntu on my ThinkPad X61, which was running windows. I basically just overwrote the hard drive, assigning one partition to the install. The graphics have always been a little buggy when it comes to 3d rendering or flash. Flash graphics flicker a lot and 3d rendering leaves trails or doesn't show up at all. Is there a way to configure the graphics card? I'm completely unexperienced when it comes to graphics cards and don't know where to start. I don't even know how to access its settings.

Ubuntu Jaunty Server connected via eth0 to a Billion residential ADSL router. I've locked the server MAC address to a specific IP in the router and set the DHCP renewal times to the longest possible times. For a certain number of days, the server will remain connected to the router, but then for some reason (the last time it was after about a month), the server loses it's connect and dumps into syslog the following:
Code:
Jun 2 17:10:15 defiant dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.1.105 on eth0 to 192.168.1.254 port 67

I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 Worked fined, but suspend doesn't work anymore. When I click suspend, a tty1 terminal screen appears, exactly as you would hit ctrl+alt+F1, with the exception that no input is possible. I'm a newbie and an Ubuntu fan but I absolutely have no idea how to solve this...

I'm running 10.04 64-bit with all stable and pre-release upgrades enabled in a Dell 4-core Inspiron with 8 GB of memory. I just bought a Hauppage WinTV-HVR 1600 and it's detected in the boot process and all firmware is loaded, but then it goes bonkers and spews
[ 24.421795] cx18 0000:02:01.0: firmware: requesting v4l-cx23418-dig.fw
[ 24.612289] cx18-0 843: loaded v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes)
[ 24.632510] cx18-0 843: verified load of v4l-cx23418-dig.fw firmware (16382 bytes)
[code]....
over and over again. All the info on the Hauppage site and LinuxTV is very obsolete. MythTV initializes, but can't find any channels on either the analog or digital streams.

I've got a TV card installed on my machine, an Intel Celeron wht a 2.4GHz processor, 1,5GB RAM, 80GBx2 Seagate hard drives and two DVD writers, an LG and a BENQ.

OCEAN TV MAGICIAN PT218 TV Card.
My Ubuntu 9.04 cannot see it. I kindly ask for advice on how I can configure it to work on Ubuntu 9.04.

I have found a few older threads that have asked a similar question, but wonder if updates and new devices have improved the situation:
Is there a PCI (not express) 802.11n adapter that will work with 9.04/Jaunty "out of the box"?

I have a netbook with no CD Drive and no spare memory stick. I am trying to updat from 7.04 to 10.10 or whatever is latest. Update manager wont show the update button though to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu.
It said something about statsux repository or something had no key so I remove it. Had to remove medibuntu too and eepc repository along with opera. Then update manager worked with no errors but still gave no updates for software or a upgrade to next distro button.

I'm on 9.04 and decided to upgrade to 10.04 LTS, by upgrading 9.04->9.10 and 9.10->10.04. However, I'm stuck in the first step because my installation doesn't see anything to upgrade to:
[Code]...
I do have a USB stick with which I can do a clean install of 10.04 LTS, but for fun and education I want to do it the messy way first. So what could be causing this? Should I post my /etc/apt/sources.list?

I am trying to upgrade from Jaunty Jackelope to ubuntu 9.10 and this is the terminal message that I get....
Setting up debhelper (7.0.17ubuntu4) ....
Setting up java-package (0.42ubuntu1) ...
Setting up cacao (0.99.4-1) ...
Setting up sun-java5-doc (1.5.0-19-0ubuntu0.9.04) ... This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the J25DK documentation. You will need t ogo download one of the archives: jdk-1_5_0-doc.zip jkd-1_5_0-doc-ja.zip (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation). visi Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied to /tmp First off I don't know which file to download from the website, and then once I do download, how to use zip files with ubunu? Is this something I can do in a few simple steps with the sudo apt-get and get the file that way?

I've got Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty + lxde. My video card is Nvidia FX 5200 (Nvidia driver ver. 173.14.18). My monitor is a lcd Acer mod. x193w (widescreen). At present I cannot choose the 1280x800 resolution as I was used to when I was using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. Nvidia X Server settings offers several resolutions (included the native monitor resolution, 1440x900) but not 1280x800 as before. I wonder why. I even added mode 1280x800 in the Section "Screen" of xorg.conf but it was ignored.

i used the Update Manager to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10.. then it said:
NO VALID MIRROR FOUND
While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date.
Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'jaunty' to 'karmic' entries. If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.
I choose yes, then is said that there's something wrong with the network I'm connected to..then it closes..the upgrade failed.

I've just upgraded to the newest distro (and was amazed how smooth it went) via the update manager, but it seems that I've lost firefox (and my bookmarks :/ ) in the process. Is there any chance that I get my bookmarks back?

I'm trying to keep my desktop without a net connection as up to date as possible. It currently has jaunty installed, but I'd like to upgrade to lucid via dvd, is it possible without going through karmic as an intermediate? I prefer not to waste my DVDs, I'm even passing my lucid disk around to friends after the install.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an old Compaq Deskpro with PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard. My original mouse is old and has no scroll wheel, so I purchased a new Logitech Optical Mouse with USB. I purchased a PS/2-to-USB converter so that I could plug it in to the PS/2 port. After booting up, the mouse does not work at all. While the computer is on, I can unplug the new mouse and plug in the old one, and the old one will work. But the old one is close to failing, and I need to get a new mouse to work.The configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf did not have a mouse configured, so I tried adding the following code to it:
Code: Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Configured Mouse"
Driver"mouse"

i havent really had a chance to ask this for a while, but im in a bit of a bind. im trying to do a release upgrade of 9.04 through to 10.10. I'm stuck at getting karmic to reboot because of a grub problem. I keep getting "error 15" file not found. Not one single forum post has helped for some reason which is strange. Release upgrades have always worked even though not recommended, but this one of all has been the worst of the lot and totally insane.
Im testing in a vmware before i do this for real on the production server, I am using a raid1 setup and boot partitions set to md0.
my fstab after the upgrade before i reboot looked like this
# / was on /dev/md1 during installation
UUID=######################## / reiserfs relatime 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/md0 during installation
[Code]....
I tried to first install grub2, i confirmed it installed and worked perfect, and therefore removed grub legacy.
Ran do-release-upgrade , it completely uninstalled grub2, and it also fails at building /initrd.img-2.6.31-22-server and adding into the grub menu therefore the upgrade fails with this error. I reinstalled grub2, the menu came up fine but trying to load a kernel gave me something like
alert ! /dev/disk/by-uid/############## does not exist.
What is the go with this ? Ive been trying to make this work off and on for 6 months

I seem to have made a hash of moving a machine from jaunty to maverick. It used the kde3 remix, and pearson's site seems to be bouncing up and down, mostly down, for that at the moment. I've ended up with a machine that is console only. I've tried installing ubuntu-standard, which put a bunch of things on, but still no GUI.
staying with KDE3 would be nice, but I don't have time to mess with it. I find KDE4 painful, and have been put off by the ideological "purity" that caused the gnome split since its inception. I guess that leaves me with Unity. But how do I get the bloody thing up. Heck, xdm & fvwm sounds pretty good right now, too.

I just upgraded from jaunty to intrepid. The upgrade tool went through everything without a hitch and when it finished it told me to restart my computer. When I did, ubuntu began to boot, got past the initial loading splash screen, but immediately after, before the login splash, the screen freezes with some strange graphics glitch and refuses to work from there. How can I fix this to any workable state, upgraded or not?

Karmic ( kernel 2.6.31) does not support my TV card:
Code:
~$ lspci -vnn
Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder [1131:7133]"1131:7133" is nowhere present in the 2.6.31 SAA7134 cardlist. However, "1131:7133" is supported as card 17 under a different card name within kernel 2.6.33, see
HTML Code:
[URL]
Where do I look for guidance on such a kernel upgrade? My impression is that grub permits booting to an earlier kernel so a boo is recoverable. While not particularly relevant, my card is a Chronos Video Shuttle II.

I'm a newbie to ubuntu and I only used ubuntu less than a month, and I really like it. I would like very much to upgrade my ubuntu jaunty to ubuntu karmic but I have several concerns. If I choose to upgrade via update manager: 1. Will I lose my compilers and configurations? For example, some of my programs in current ubuntu are using gcc 4.3 and g++-4.3. I know that Karmic uses higher version of gcc and g++ and I have installed these programs in higher version of gcc and g++ and I got some problems. I would very much like to stay with my current compilers and configurations. I mean, do have to install all these previous version of compilers when I upgrade to Karmic? 2. What about my data in my home folder? Will it be erased? 3. What about my data in programs such as firefox? Will it too be erased? 4. What will happen to all third party software if I upgraded to Karmic?

On a fully updated Ubuntu 9.04 system, I had successfully configured wvdial to connect using a USB modem ("Update" brand) with an ID of 067b:0611 (uses the pl2303 driver module). In considering an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, I tried a LiveCD and was unable to connect using wvdial. However, because I had made the CD a couple months before, I went ahead with the upgrade (via the internet; not a fresh install) in the hopes that it would end up working or I would be able to find a solution for it.
The Problem: The upgrade was a success as far as I could tell, but when I tried to connect to the internet with wvdial, I was not able to. I checked the wvdial.conf settings to make sure they were the same as before, added some new ones I thought it might need, unplugged the modem and replugged it, restarted my system, etc., but all to no avail. Whenever I would try to run wvdial to connect, I would get the following output:
Code:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
[code]....
This was different than the output I used to get with wvdial, but when I went over to my browser (Firefox) the internet worked fine. I'm assuming my email client and other things will work okay as well, but have not tested them as of yet.
A final touch I did to make connecting a bit less 'painful' was to right-click on the panel (at the top of the default Ubuntu screen), and click on 'Add to Panel'. Then I selected 'Custom Application Launcher', chose 'Application in Terminal' for 'Type', gave the launcher a name, pasted in that 'horrifically' long command line above, gave a brief description in the 'comment' box, then pressed 'OK'. Voila! I now have a launcher on my panel that with a single-click will bring up a terminal screen where I enter my sudo password and it connects. Then when I want to disconnect I just go back to that terminal, press Ctrl+C, which promptly disconnects me and causes the terminal to vanish into thin air.
Now, I don't know enough about this stuff to know why this command worked and wvdial didn't, but if you know, feel free to post a reply. Or if you'd like to see what settings I had for wvdial that worked in 9.04 but not in 9.10, let me know. Or if you think it's worth checking to see if this should be posted as a bug in either wvdial or Ubuntu, you can mention that as well.
