tbs6280 fails to tune

[JohnBoyz]

First time user so I might be at fault ... but wondering if this is related to your message about changes to tda18212 .....

Installed latest yesterday in a PC with both TBS6981 & TBS6280 running 3.17.2 kernel. The 6981 is working fine. The 6280 fails both with Kaffeine and w_scan. I have included some basic info below ... no idea what else might be useful.

dmesg | grep -i frontend

Thank you for your work on this.

The tuner seems to be successfully identified when the module is loaded. Stupid question, but have you double checked that the problem isn't the tv cable? Can someone else confirm this bug?

[willat8]

I have fail to tune error on 6285 using dvb-t, if it's related.

[ljalves]

Completely unrelated. Please paste your dmesg output (use pastebin).

[JohnBoyz]

About the only thing I can be sure of is the aerial feed ...... have a dual boot system and both cards work using a community version of Openelec with TBS drivers.

dmesg output from today http://pastebin.com/mVB8D8WL

Thank you.

[ljalves]

@JohnBoyz Ok, I'll take a look as soon as I can.

[ljalves]

I have people reporting that tbs6280 is working fine after the update....

[JohnBoyz]

OK, thanks. It might be something about the install that is causing it I guess.

I will look to backing up and doing a new OS install and then get the latest files and see how that goes.

[timmydog]

My TBS 6280 is also failing to tune after an update to the latest version yesterday.

It all looked to checkout, build and install ok. I will try to have another go, to check for user error.

I will also try to re-install the older version that was working fine to confirm that it was recent changes that caused the problem, but I have 2 young children that take up most of my free time, so it might take me a while.

Thanks for your work on this driver, it is appreciated.

[timmydog]

I tried to re-install last night and spotted errors in the patch process. This was done in an empty directory. If you can spot anything that I've done wrong, please let me know and I'll give it another try.

I have updated the tree to the latest official tree. You should be able to build it now.

[timmydog]

I have discovered what caused the patch failures: if I use make without the -j3 option it doesn't give any of the patch errors and with the -j3, it does!

However, after a clean, build and install, I get "module has wrong symbol version" errors. I tried:

 sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/*

but still got the errors after a reboot.

I didn't have much time, so might have made a mistake; I will try again to see if there are old modules being loaded somehow.

[ljalves]

Check dmesg for the module names that are giving an error. (pastebin here your dmesg after loading the modules)

Hi, sorry for delay in getting back .... due to hardware and software changes in set up. Have done an install on an AMD Athlon 64x2 5000 and am having similar problems as previously - this time with 3.18.1 kernel.

I have to try fault finding yet .... this is just to let you know I have not abandoned this.

I will have a new release in a few days so might wait for that and do a complete new installation.

Oh yes ... in case there is any confusion, the new set up works with Openelec and TBS drivers.

[JohnBoyz]

Did a fresh install today. Kernel 3.18.1 Checked that the Sat card TBS6981 was functioning using the kernel driver .... all ok. Also had TBS6280 card in place.

Downloaded and built from git and hit problems.

At least I found what I reckon was the basis of most of my problems ..... the OS has all modules compressed (.ko.gz) but building just drops .ko modules in along side them.

I tried manually deleting all the old modules (.ko.gz) and then compressing the new ones. During problem solving it appeared that some modules are dependent on others and expect those to be .ko and not .ko.gz :(

I managed to find a few related to SAA716x and uncompress them.

End result was that both cards are seen and registered. The usual checks show the adapters and frontends etc.

Neither will lock onto a frequency for tuning.

At this time I have little doubt that the problem is caused by the .ko.gz/.ko thing.

I could, I suppose, decompress all the modules under /media but would prefer if possible to only do those necessary (if this is the problem).

I realise that this problem is apparently unrelated to the drivers themselves, but would be grateful if you could drop a pointer or two so I can see if I can get them to work.

Thanks for your attention and help.

It seems this can be closed ..... will leave that to you.

Thanks again.

[JohnBoyz]

Further update ...... I tried the community version of the latest Openelec with ljalves drivers and hit a similar problem. Swapping to the community build with TBS drivers has everything working as expected.

Maybe the drivers do not like the combination of these two cards .........

[JohnBoyz]

I had left things for a while and yesterday used a community version of Openelec with the open source drivers on a HTPC backend (old P4 3Ghz) with the newer cards .. 6281 and 6982. I am happy to say that all four tuners showed (plus the DVB-C options with the DVB-T on the 6281) and all tuners worked after being enabled.

The HTPC has now been 'up' for about 15 hours without a glitch.

All looks good so this can be closed I think. If I get a chance I will probably play about with other distro, but I am happy as it is for the present.

Thank you!
