TBS Driver Installation
Some DVB devices support in the Linux kernel by the default. But for the most popular devices by DigitalDevices and TBS drivers should be installed manually. In this manual will be described how to install drivers on Ubuntu/Debian Linux.
Prepare system
To install drivers needed root privileges:
sudo -s
Install system utilities to build drivers from the source code:
apt-get install build-essential \
patchutils \
libproc-processtable-perl \
linux-headers-`uname –r` \
git \
linux-source
Remove old media drivers:
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media
rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/media
Increase system limits. By the default Linux kernel has limit only for 8 DVB adapters. Change limit before build drivers:
sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(CONFIG_DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS\)=.*/\1=48/g' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/.config
Disable auto update in Ubuntu 14.04
sed -i.bak -e 's/^\(APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists\).*/\1 "0";/g' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
Disable auto update in Ubuntu 16.04
systemctl disable apt-daily.service
systemctl disable apt-daily.timer
Install
Downloading and building:
cd /usr/src
git clone
https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build.gitgit clone --depth=1
https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media.git -b latest ./media
cd media_build
make dir DIR=../media
make allyesconfig
make -j4
sudo make install
Install firmware for DVB adapters
cd /usr/src
wget
http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... .0.tar.bz2sudo tar jxvf tbs-tuner-firmwares_v1.0.tar.bz2 -C /lib/firmware/
Restart your system
shutdown -r now
After reboot check adapters
ls /dev/dvb
Troubleshooting
DVB adapters are not available
If ls /dev/dvb shows error:
ls: cannot access /dev/dvb: No such file or directory
With lspci you may check is adapters available in the system:
lspci | grep Multimedia
If adapters connected to the PCIe properly you will see listing of the PCIe adapters. For example:
01:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB-S2 4 Tuner PCIe Card
Check system boot log for errors:
dmesg | grep -i dvb
You may send this log to the adapter vendor to find a solution.
Drivers has been installed some time ago and all worked fine before server reboot
Probably Linux kernel has been updated. After Linux kernel update drivers should be reinstalled.
