TBS6985 Quad Tuner PCIe driver installation error

Postby buttu2000 » Mon Sep 29, 2014 8:45 am

Hello, I have two TBS6985 Quad Tuner PCIe Cards fitted on my PC
try to install the linux drivers for both cards on my ubuntu server 32 bit:
Description: 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
Code name: trusty

uname -a


Linux Bary 3.13.0.24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:08:14 UTC 2014
i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux


I have tried the Linux driver tbs-linux-drivers_v140819 and tbs-linux-drivers_v140707 but
unforuntly both of them didnt work.

I had followed the below procedure to install the drivers:

1- Login on terminal as root (sudo su)
2- Create a folder on root tbs (/root/tbs)
3- Copied the tbs-linux-drivers_v140707 to /root/tbs
4-
cd /root/tbs

5-
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v140707

6- extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive:
tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

7- cd linux-tbs-drivers
8- Run the command:
./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

9- build and install the driver
make && make install

10- reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:
shutdown -r now


After restart I run the command:
dmesg | grep cx88

but no output at all

When trying the command
dmesg | grep frontend

below is the output
[ 10.317842] saa716x_core: disagrees about version of symbol dvb_frontend_detach
[ 10.317843] saa716x_core: Unknown symbol dvb_frontend_detach (err -22)

dmesg > dmesg.log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nb35tdsssvz6h ... g.log?dl=0

lspci -vvnn >> lspci_log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/7np0zko3h6kz3 ... i_log?dl=0

my kernel.log
sudo cat /var/log/kern.log > kernel.log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/agsyvc2srrazm ... l.log?dl=0

the goal is to the following:
1- Configure the right drivers for the the above two TBS6985 Quad Tuner on my PC.

Thanks to support@tbsdtv.com , here is reply:

Hi,
Please check the FAQ file inside the driver package tbs-linux-drivers_v140819.zip , you will find the solve solution.
Thanks!


and of the FAQ find the following:

TBS Linux FAQ

Q1. after the drivers are installed there are error messages like:
"disagrees about version of symbol..."
and/or
"Unknown symbol..."
on 'dmesg' output and no DVB devices are created.
A1: do the following:
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/media/
where "<kernel_version>" is replaced by the loaded kernel version
and then reinstall the drivers with doing "make install".
TBC
EOF


So basically I fellow the instruction and good now.
dmesg | grep dvb
