RESOLVED: Re: [mythtv-users] Can't capture using PVR250

[Shay - MythTV]

Thomas,

I'm hoping you can help me out.  I usually use apt-get and I'm not to 
familiar with using rpm.  I did an apt-get remove on ivtv-kmdl-`uname -r` 
and on ivtv.  I then downloaded the .25 rev of ivtv-kmdl.  Then I did rpm 
-Uvh on the downloaded rpm.  Everything looked good.  Then I did an apt-get 
install ivtv.  After that, I did:
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ivtv

and I'm getting 'modprobe: can't locate module ivtv'

What did I do wrong?  Any help would greatly be appreciated..

Thanks,
Shay
