OK. I restarted the computer. (I have never suspended that computer |
27 |
before and was unsure of what would happen, but I did not realize at the |
28 |
time that my the game running on my wife's computer was using a samba |
29 |
share that would be disrupted.) I had no luck with ivtv-firmware, so I |
30 |
have reinstalled linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.09.19. Now the output of |
31 |
dmesg has changed somewhat: |
32 |
|
33 |
michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i pvr |
34 |
