[Bug 842346] New: ivtv-firmware package is missing in 13.1beta - causing ivtv driver to fail (easy solution)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842346 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=842346#c0 Summary: ivtv-firmware package is missing in 13.1beta - causing ivtv driver to fail (easy solution) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.1 Beta 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: johanp@aditus.nu QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 When installing the standard ivtv driver package the most common firmware (v4l-cx2341x) which is needed for Hauppauge analogue TV-cards (e.g. 150 and 350) is missing. The firmware that does exist (e.g. 4l-cx23418-apu.fw, etc.) seems to be contained in a separate RPM "kernel-firmware-20130714git-1.2.noarch" The firmware that is missing was previously (in OpenSuSE 12.3) included in package "ivtv-firmware" but this package seems to be missing in 13.1beta So the solution is simple, either re-introduce package "ivtv-firmare" or add the missing files to package "kernel-firmware-20130714git-1.2.noarch" Note: The latest firmware can be found at http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/ivtv-firmware.tar.gz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to load the ivtv module with modprobe ivtv 2. Look at dmesg where error message about missing firmware is seen 3. Actual Results: Error messages: [ 8339.635660] ivtv-alsa: module loading... [ 8339.964127] ivtv0: Unable to open firmware v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw (must be 376836 bytes) [ 8339.964132] ivtv0: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?

Add the missing package from 12.3 repo since this firmware is architecture independent. Since this fault completely breaks the handling of video cards this could be considered a major problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It would be a pity if 13.1 had a regression compared with 12.3 in this area. Since the Yast2 TV module also is gone in 13.1 (apparently by design ...) this means that non-technical users will never be able to get there analogue TV-Cards working as they have always done i previous releases. Since this is really a low-hanging fruit to fix I'm not sure I quite understand why this regression can't be fixed? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So IMO the easier route is adding the rest to kernel-firmware package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

That would require no modifications what so ever besides adding it to the 13.1 manifest. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is very easy to fix (as I described above) so I hope this regression (compared with 12.3) can be addressed before 13.1 goes gold. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
