[SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

This card worked perfectly prior to the move to Systemd, but it now causes serious problems.  I have carried out a clean installation, without success. The symptoms are as follows:

With the card installed, on most boots (but not all), I get a stream of data on the screen at boot time, despite having the "quiet" option selected. When this happens, my PC continues to work OK, but will not turn off or reboot. I have to unplug it!

Here is an extract from the journal including messages relating to the card:

On the occasions when I don't get this stream of messages, everything works correctly.

I have confirmed that the problem is related to the card by removing it, when everything works perfectly.

I have be struggling with this for sometime.  I am desperate for any help in analysing/resolving this problem, as TV and video applications are important to me.

I would be extremely garteful for any help or guidance in resolving this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

I have now tried this card on a second machine running Arch/Systemd, with exactly the same result.

I have also tried disabling the start-up fsck, but that makes no difference.

The card initialisation seems to be getting tangled up with something else in the Systemd parallelization process. Is there any way to make the initialisation wait until all other processes are finished?

I would be VERY grateful for any ideas.

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

You may try to blacklist the relevant modules and modprobe then after the system is booted via a startup script.

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

Many thanks for your reply.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what is the best way to identify the TV card -related modules?

Should I do an "lsmod" without the card installed, then install the card, do another "lsmod" and compare the two, or is there an easier way?

Thanks again for your help.

Yep, i think so big_smile

Or play with extra/hwdetect.

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

I have identified all the kernel modules loaded for the Hauppauge card (35!), and blacklisted them. This has resolved the poweroff/reboot problems.

The next stage is to "modprobe" the blacklisted modules, once I have worked out the order in which they need to be loaded to satisfy the dependencies.  This may take a while!

I will post exact details once I have the card working.

Many thanks, kokoko3k, for pointing me in the right direction.

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

I may be wrong, but i think a single
modprobe module1 module2 module3 ... module35
will work without the need to write them in the correct order, worth a try wink

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

Further investigation has shown that there are 3 modules which cause the problems; cx88_dvb, cx8800 and cx88_alsa. For these, loading order IS important. They must be loaded after all the other (32) modules, and in the order given.

By blacklisting just these three, then starting them up after boot with a script in the order given, everything seems to be working as it should.

Before marking this thread as [solved] I will do some more testing, then write up a summary of everything I did for anyone else having the same problem.

Thank you so much for your help, guidance and support, kokoko3k

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

I have tested this thoroughly now, and all seems OK. I am receiving DVB-T using Kaffeine, and tvheadend seems to be recognising the card as it should.

Here's what I did:

(1) Compare the output of lsmod with and without the TV card installed. The differences are the modules loaded for the card. In my case, there were 35!

(2) Temporarily blacklist all the modules from step (1), then manually modprobe each one in turn to identify those causing problems. In my case there were 3: cx88_dvb, cx8800 and cx88_alsa.

(3) Blacklist these permanently

(4) Write a script to install these after booting, save it and make it executable e.g.:

#!/bin/sh

modprobe -a cx88_dvb cx8800 cx88_alsa

(5) Write a systemd service file to load this automatically, e.g.:

[Unit]
Description=tvcard

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/script

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target....

Save it in /etc/systemd/system/scriptname.service, then enable and start it.

And that's it!

Many thanks, kokoko3k, for all your help.

EDIT: Corrected location of systemd service file to correct location of service file (as advised by kokoko3k, below)

Re: [SOLVED] Systemd /Hauppage HVR3000 TV Card

You're welcome,
anyway the correct location for user service should be /etc/systemd/system/
