Ubuntu Multimedia :: TV Card: How To Upgrade Kernel
Mar 15, 2010
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

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 have changed kernel to 2.6.33. After that ifconfig command shows only my ethernet card, wireless card have disappeared. What is wrong. In the old kernel everything works fine. I am sure that i have installed wi-fi stuff with kernel.

Have a cheaponasto card which refuses to play ball with the kernel. I have tried several card types with no luck.
I is just a video capture with no TV tuner. v4l-conf complains there is no framebuffer address and therefore (I think) xawtv will not start.
Running 64-bit 2.6.32-22
01:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-

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?

Every time the update-manager decides to upgrade the kernel my graphics driver is ****** up. I have had this problem in 10.04 and now in 10.10. Now I get dropped to the command prompt after an upgrade (I can also log in with fail-safe/low graphics mode). The problem is solved if I reinstall the package fglrx so nog big issue but it is rather annoying. What could be wrong? I am using ATI HD4770. I haven't tried open drivers yet.

OS Environment : Debian Squeeze, Gnome, Compiz, kernel 2.6.32-5 Hardwares : Pentium4, ATI Radeon 9600 AGP8x
After upgrading the kernel and restarted, I've been having an issue with the screen. After logged in through GDM, the screen starts distorting, creating small colorful object and blurry
Screenshots :
However, this problem does not exist on tty other than used by desktop ( tty1...tty6 is not affected ) And not in GDM too!!! My GDM shows up nicely, I let it there for hours and no distortion, no strange colors whatsoever.
KMS is enabled ( by default ) as I checked :
$ dmesg | grep drm
[ 5.373278] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 5.782595] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.

The server runs# uname -r2.6.18-128.4.1.el5However, today I executed yum update kernel*due to security advisory. I was just about to reboot the system when I realized that it runs VMWare Server Instance that will most likely fail to restart after kernel upgrade (I had a hard time fixing it after previous kernel update). Now I want to keep 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5 after reboot.I see that new kernel is scheduled for booting:
# cat /etc/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=20

My video card developed problems, so I followed the suggestion in this thread:
Quote: Boot into recovery mode, then choose root, for a command prompt and enter
Code: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
but my ubuntu 10.04 32-bit system still won't boot. Shortly after the ubuntu logo comes up, before the login, my screen goes black and there is no more video signal. What else can I do to reset the video configuration? The card only has this info on it: I could put the card back in the system, reboot, and then pre-configure the system to drop to the intel 865G on-board video, but the msi card has intermittent problems and will spontaneously re-boot several times during the first ten minutes of turning on the system.

We have a Dell 1850 with Debian with 2.4.18 kernel running some critical applications, now the issue is we need to upgrade the memory to 8 GB but the memory is detected by the bios itself, Operating system is not able to detect it, it is showing 3096MB of memory,
After a lot of googling and the artical in linux.com/archive/articles/119287 :: Got more than a gig of RAM and 32-bit Linux? Here's how to use it i came to know the solution i.e
1)I need to install the Bigmem-kernel to detect the ram more than 4Gb,
2) or change some kernel parameters in configuration file and rebuild the kernel
Is there any another solution for this to update operating system to detect the more RAM

Me my self never worked on an old Linux server there for my first question is can I upgrade the kernel with the command yum -y install kernel..... and when I'm done I'm still going to have the old kernel just in case?

i've been trying and trying to get my video card set up in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 (it is an ati mobility radeon 7500), I first posted about it here [URL].. and since then nothing has changed. What I would really like to know is why does it work in kernel 2.6.31 but not in anything later. Right now im running arch on my secondary hard drive with kernel 2.6.31 and everything runs great, full open gl, 3d accel etc but when I upgrade to a newer kernel (no matter what distro) my video does not work. Has there been any improvements on this? It was a problem with KMS i kind of found it by accident, its all working now

I am having some issues getting the broadcom sta driver installed on Kernels 2.6.36 up through 2.6.38.
Before I continue, I'll list my specs
Release: Xubuntu 10.04.2 LTS (64-Bit)
Wireless Card: Broadcom BCM4328
Kernel: 2.6.38-x (Any version), and 2.6.36 and above
EDIT: Yes! Yes! I got it to work, for those that are having issues, install this packages. Disregard that it says that there is an older version available in a software. The bcmwl-kernel-source for Natty works on Lucid![URL]... Install one of these and check your Hardware Drivers, they will probably say that the Broadcom STA driver is installed but not in use. If you then proceed to restart it should be up and running, this way you can use kernels 2.6.36+ and still use the Broadcom STA driver!

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Windows 7 via Wubi.
Until yesterday, my kernel was 2.6.32-29.
Yesterday, I was offered 2.6.32-30 by the update manager and accepted it.
However, I can't boot up using that kernel. I get no video. (I'm now choosing -29 at bootup instead of -30. It still works.)
What should I be trying in order to get -30 to work?

As an introduction to the problem I'm having: For a long time, I've been on 9.04 and my wireless worked quite happily. Then when I upgraded to 9.10, to my despair I found that my laptop no longer detects my wireless driver! Before I go on, I should also say I'm rather inexperienced with Ubuntu in general, despite having used it for quite some time.
Anyway, onto the informational part: I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ40. According to lspci, my wireless network card details are as follows:
Code:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
lsusb shows the following:
Code:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface [Integrated Module]

I have a pretty cool problem. The laptop computer is an Asus UL50VT which has two video cards: an onboard intel Mobile 4 Series Chipset with Integrated Graphics Controller, and an NVidia GeForce G210M. The concept behind having two video cards is that the onboard chip can be used when graphics aren't required (email, programming, etc.), but the NVidia can be used when you need the graphics horsepower. This allows you to maximize battery life. The system came with Windows 7.
I can (now) get X to start by monkeying with the xorg.config file, but it doesn't run well and is getting bogged down. My (uneducated) guess is that if I could clearly make certain that I'm using intel drivers and the intel "card," or better the nvidia drivers and the nvidia card, it would run better. I'd love to be able to set them up in such a way that I can switch them (two different xorg.conf files with a scipt that allows me to select what I want, for instance), but I need to get to first base first and get something working well. So, how can I tell what the system is actually using for drivers AND devices? And, how can I dictate which it is to use?

I am using a linux FC-12 machine which is running on 2.6.36 kernel. I wanted to use the USB data card with that machine. But it is not detecting the device. I found that the modules usbserial, option, qcserial were missing. I installed them using "insmod".After that I have removed and reconnected the device. Still the OS is not detecting the device.After the reboot of the machine, again the modules related to USB are missing.

The new kernel has some features I think would be useful for me, especially the power management of ATI gaphics cores (I run crossfire 2870).
how I upgrade the kernel? I just wanted to check that I am doing the right thing. I had intended updating with apt-get using the age old instructions.

I added the PPA: 'deb [URL]... ' and this seems to work in getting me the most recent kernel, however I must check it occasionally, and install it manually, with 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-14-generic linux-headers-2.6.35-14-generic' (which is the most recent in that PPA). So basically, every time there is a kernel update in there, such as 'linux-image-2.6.35-15-generic' or something, I must 'sudo apt-get install' it manually. Anybody know how to have it automatically install the latest kernel? Is that even possible?

I'm running 10.10 with an NVIDIA card which has a customised xconfig file (to allow use of an EDID file). This was working OK until I ran a set of security updates which included a kernel upgrade. Now when I try to boot the machine, it goes straight to terminal mode and will not run the GUI.
I recall seeing something about this before, but can't find the thread. It's a fairly simple fix to get the graphics running again, but I can't remember what the solution is.

I tried this guide but no dice:
