Hide Forgot
Fedora 14 (up to date as of Jan 21 2011). System info: Linux tv.localdomain 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:17:40 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CPU: Core2 duo Relevant HW: HVR 950 USB tv tuner and KWORLD UB-435 tv tuner (see lsusb.out and lsusb-v.out). HVR 950 has the correct firmware installed in /lib/firmware. The problem(s) (see below) show up when using mythtv 0.24 (from rpmfusion). 1) There are bunch of i2c error messages appear right after boot when mythbackend is started (see dmesg-right-after-boot.out). The mythfrontend is not able to show video from the HVR 950 USB device. If mythbackend is killed and restarted, the two firmware loaded messages appear (see end of dmesg-right-after-boot.out) and everything works correctly. I get video from both HVR 950 and KWORLD UB-435. Both devices appear correctly under /dev/dvb/... 2) Now the strange thing is that if anything happens in any of the USB buses on the computer, the HVR 950 will go out of whack again. Only reboot can cure this. For example, if I unplug one of the joysticks that is on a different USB bus, this will happen. See dmesg2.out, which shows what happens right after disconnecting another device and reconnecting it. 3) If I unplug the tuner USB devices and reconnect them, strange things will happen. According to dmesg, the system discovers both of them again but I get only one dvb device under /dev/dvb. To get things going again, reboot is required. Note that these problems (IMHO) are related to the kernel drivers and not mythtv.

Forgot to add that at least in case 3) the system gets in such state quickly that lsusb will hang (in D state as seen by ps).
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
