How can I Install Linux-Drivers

[seedvb]

Hello
I have the DVB-Card TBS6928 and I want to install it on my Linux VDR (easyvdr 0.9). It is an Ubuntu-system, 11.04.
I have put the card in the system, but it is not working. I have tested the standard-Linux Drivers and the V4L-Drivers. These are build in the EasyVDR 0.9 and I cab switch between these.
Then, I don' t understand, wich drivers I have to install on the system and I don' t know, how I can do it.

When I take the command "make all" then after a while the following messages comes back:

Code: Select All Code

i believe we answered to you via e-mail, but just to answer for everyone else with similar problems : based on experience 99% of all problems with driver installation in Linux is because people do not read and follow the README files - inside the driver package there are many README files - they may be not for you model, but each and every one of them contains step-by-step instructions how to install the drivers and that is something valid for any model:

I.1 extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive:

# tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

I.2 go to driver package directory:

# cd linux-tbs-drivers

I.3 depending on your kernel version and if the kernel is x86 or
x86_64 (check output of 'uname -a') do:

- for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh

- for x86 kernel 2.6.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 2.6.x):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh

- for any x86_64 kernel (x86 64 bit installations of Linux):

# ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

I.3 build and install the driver:

# make && make install

I.4 reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:

# shutdown -r now

Preparing to compile for kernel version 3.13.0

***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.

If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.

Vanilla kernels are available at http://kernel.org.
On most distros, this will compile a newly downloaded kernel:

cp /boot/config-`uname -r` <your kernel dir>/.config
cd <your kernel dir>
make all modules_install install

Please see your distro's web site for instructions to build a new kernel.
