2-3 times a week, mythbackend.log fills up with "ivtv driver not responding", while /var/log/messages fills up with ivtv DMA errors. This causes my backend to completely lock up - no ssh, no ctl-alt-del, no response to anything other than the reset button.
<br><br>I would very much like to update the ivtv driver version - I have 0.10.1 that came with Ubuntu Feisty. The only problem is I have not been able to un-install the current driver. The Ubuntu package manager allows un-installation of something called "ivtv-utils", but after removing that, the ivtv
0.10.1 driver still loads.<br><br>Unfortunately, neither the howto at <a href="http://ivtvdriver.org">ivtvdriver.org</a>, or <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com">help.ubuntu.com</a> discuss un-installation. I'm guessing I need to go and manually delete some files from the morass in /lib/modules/ , but I have no idea which ones. I would appreciate any insight...
<br><br>Also, it was suggested on the ivtv-users list that the specific DMA error fixes are in the v4l-dvb repository at <a href="http://linuxtv.org">linuxtv.org</a>. While the ivtv driver downloads had installation instructions, the downloads from
<a href="http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/">http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/</a> do not. Any suggestions?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>_______________________<br>
