[SOLVED] ...... problem with pctv 290e usb devices

replabrobin · 2013-12-07 23:50:43

I have an up to date x64 system; when I upgraded to linux-3.12.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz this morning my pctv 290e usb devices stopped working.

I see this in my kernel log

downgrading to linux-3.12.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and nvidia-331.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz fixed the issue.

Edit: I tried updating to 3.12.4-1, but that still has the problem.
Edt: linux 3.12.6-1 fixes the issue for me.

Confirmed.

Sorry that I have no solution, but I have the same device and the exact same issue.

Disconnect - connect does not help.

tda18271_read_regs: [10-0060|M] ERROR: i2c_transfer returned: -19

Error -19 means ENODEV,but there is no indication that there was a problem creating a device (/dev/videoX is there).

I can't help much other than to say me too. My PCTV 290e USB stick has also stopped working with the latest LInux package. Have you sent a bug report?

I note DVB-S2 support was added to the em28xx module within Linux six days ago by Antti Palosaari - has that broken something with DVB-T(2)? If so, might be worth letting the Linux developers know.

replabrobin · 2013-12-11 14:42:18

I have just reported this issue to the linux-media@vger.kernel.org list.

replabrobin · 2013-12-12 08:54:10

tghe-retford, I think the code in 3.12.3-1 comes from November so the S2 support is probably not relevant. I looked at the changes between the two kernels and there was some reference to the tda modules,specifically drivers/media/dvb-frontends/tda18271dd.c that looks relevant to the i2c stuff. So perhaps that's the change that broke the 290e.

replabrobin · 2013-12-14 13:48:57

I have applied a patch http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel … 4afc0cc1d4 recommended by Mauro Carvalho Chehab on the linux-media@vger.kernel.org list to the latest Arch 3.12.4-1 kernel and built the result with makepkg. I'm happy to say that the error is gone and my pctv 290e devices work again.

Thaodan · 2013-12-14 14:14:21

would you like to open a task about this in fs?

Thaodan, I am probably really stupid, but I don't understand that at all. What is fs and what are tasks in fs? From fs I only get File System which doesn't seem right.

duh It seems FS is the prefix of a bug report in the Arch bug reporting system. So what kind of task is appropriate here. I assume the patch is in the kernel git repo somewhere and presumably will make its way out eventually. Looking at the linux PKGBUILD I don't seem to see specific patches for fixes etc so I think it unlikely that the cored maintainers would want to add a small patch to fix one driver.

geekinthesticks · 2013-12-18 13:34:54

I am thinking of buying one of these cards. Does anyone know if the patch has made it into 3.12.5-1-ARCH, which is my current kernel?

cleanrock · 2013-12-23 11:37:29

I am pretty sure this is fixed now in 3.12.6 and 3.10.25 since they contain the patch/changes that replabrobin mentioned above.

geekinthesticks · 2013-12-23 11:49:52

OK thanks for the information. I don't want to maintain my own patched kernel if I can avoid it.

I can confirm that 3.12.6-1 solves this problem; my pctv 290e devices work again without patching.
