HowTo: Maiku's Guide to Setting up MythTV under Mandrake 10.1

How To Articles

Maiku is back at it again with another byopvr user blog entry
come how to article:

Maiku's Guide to Setting up MythTV under Mandrake 10.1 Community Edition

"After many weeks of struggle I finally have a functional MythTV box running. This article is a summary of how I got things working with Mandrake 10.1 Community Edition."

He also gives a succint look at two other linux distros he tried before settling on Mandrake: KnoppMyth and Fedora.

Previously he talked about his experience with BeyondTV 3.5 (for comparison's sake here's my take on BTV3.5 ), Windows MCE 2005 edition, and Free windows PVR software: GBPVR and GOTTV

Good job on the write up, Maiku! And thanks for taking the time to share the information back with the community! I thought it deserved a better (and more permanent home) so I added Maiku's Guide to Setting up MythTV under Mandrake 10.1 to our Articles, Guides, & Howto Section

This was exactly what I was looking for :-)

However, I get a problem when trying to load the new "self-compiled" drivers. Modprobe complains about them being in the .ko format (the Mandrake drivers are in .ko.gz format.).

I tried to gzip them, but modprobe still refuse to load them.

What trick to I need to do?

Regards,
Kenneth

  • initialize from modprobe.conf

    Have you figured out how to initialize from ‘/etc/modprobe.conf’ rather than from '/usr/local/bin/start-ivtv' ?

    Hello Maiku / All-

    I'm working through the HOWTO, and I'm having a problem with the ivtv make step. I've looked through this site and Google groups and it seems like a general compilation configuration issue that I'm having... when I attempt to do a make on any version of ivtv I get a *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop. error. Here's the steps:

    [root@localhost mythtv]# cd ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver/
    [root@localhost driver]# make
    make -C /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build SUBDIRS=/home/mythtv/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build'
    make: *** [all] Error 2


    This occurs as either root or the mythtv user. I've also tried the following:

    [root@localhost driver]# make -C /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk/ SUBDIRS=$PWD V=1 modules
    make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk'
    make -C /home/mythtv/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk/include/linux/modversions.h" MAKING_MODULES=1 modules
    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mythtv/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver'
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver'
    make: *** [_mod_/home/mythtv/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3d/driver] Error 2
    make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.27-0.pre2.1mdk'


    Any thoughts? I am using 10.1 official, downloaded last night.

    Thanks.
    -Chad
