[opensuse-factory] TVtime problems again
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/61c4991159eca2d744dc485ac6cdda75.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hey openSuSE Group; Why is that every time I save from yast2 all of the TV information is not being written to /etc/inittab. A grep of /etc also is find nothing of value. Yesterday I had TVtime working correctly and with no reboot it is failing again. Same error that happened yesterday. Where is Yast2>Hardware>TV writing the conf information? Historically it has been in /etc/inittab at the bottom of that file.

From what I've seen here, there seem to be some locking problems (I guess due to the BKL removal work) in the 2.6.37 kernel with the bttv module, which is used for the BT878 chips. At least the kernel error messages I see at boot seem to tell a story like that, as I see stacks with some mutex, some v4l stuff and bttv scrolling by very fast when the kernel tries to load the TV card drivers (I have a BT878-based card as well). Interestingly, tvtime can later on start completely, though sometimes only at a second try.

According to the spec file it should be /etc/tvtime/ and there's a "%config(noreplace)" as well so if your configuration files have been modified they won't be replaced.
