ATI TV Wonder 600 not working | Debian 12

[LloydLynx]

I installed Debian 12 and did my usual /lib/firmware/xc3028L-v36.fw trick to get this tuner working. But this didn't work. Kaffeine doesn't show the device at all. Installing firmware-linux-nonfree and firmware-misc-nonfree didn't fix it.

Everything looks as it should, except /dev/dvb doesn't exist.

Kernel 6.1.0-12-amd64

I am not familiar with Kaffeine but this is at least the third Kaffeine/TV tuner issue posted lately!?

Something beyond Kaffeine if /dev/dvb does not exist, and I think you imply this was working fine on Debian in the past?

I'm on a different setup that has been tested on bookworm since pre-release and needed a fix in dvb-apps , and briefly since then, so I would be behind if there was a recent kernel or package issue.

Have you thought about testing with any other packages, like dvb-apps on the cli (use bullseye's), earlier kernels, or even an upgrade from a working 11 if possible instead of a fresh install?

Being USB that is another variable I'm foggy on, I have two misc ones that haven't worked, a ATI750HD that didn't work. Since other hauppauges work, I was done...

I got it working by manually installing kernel 6.1.0-11-amd64 and putting the following lines in /etc/default/grub

Code: Select all

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

...so grub will remember which kernel I selected to boot. Now to wait for a bug fix.

I got it working

Very good. So it seems a kernel blunder in these cases.

If you're so inclined, when the current kernel is fixed and working, if you could revisit this thread and comment so and mark the thread [Solved].

Hopefully I remember.

lsusb gives this, what else do i need? Goal is to use tvheadend
Thank you in advance.

You probably should start a new thread with your details.

Goal is to use tvheadend

I'm not familiar. The native repo tools are mentioned in this thread above. I would expect that device to be supported.
