== Ubuntu 6.06 IVTV Installation ==
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
+
Ubuntu 6.06 requires you to add a seperate repository for IVTV support. You will need to obtain both the drivers & firmware from this repository. After kernel updates, you will have to rebuild the kernel module (described below).
<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow">
+
=== Installation ===
 
+
* Make sure universe & multiverse are enabled. If you're not sure, refer to these pages to set up universe and multiverse first:
 
+
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#what
<title>Install - Community Ubuntu Documentation</title>
+
* Add IVTV Repository.
 
+
An ubuntu repository for the firmware and drivers is hosted on ivtvdriver.org. Firmware updates will be released here, but driver updates will only exist for later Ubuntu versions.  
<script type="text/javascript">
+
* Add repository to /etc/apt/sources.list
<!--// common functions
+
<pre><nowiki>
 
+
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
// We keep here the state of the search box
+
</nowiki></pre>
searchIsDisabled = false;
+
Add:
 
+
<pre><nowiki>
function searchChange(e) {
+
deb http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu dapper all
// Update search buttons status according to search box content.
+
</nowiki></pre>
// Ignore empty or whitespace search term.
+
* Add the key this repository is built with to your apt keyring.
var value = e.value.replace(/\s+/, '');
+
<pre><nowiki>
if (value == '' || searchIsDisabled) {
+
wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/80DF6D58.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
searchSetDisabled(true);
+
</nowiki></pre>
} else {
+
* Update package lists
searchSetDisabled(false);
+
<pre><nowiki>
}
+
sudo apt-get update
}
+
</nowiki></pre>
 
+
* Install the packages via apt-get:
function searchSetDisabled(flag) {
+
If you are in a gnome based environment (for example a desktop install of Ubuntu)
// Enable or disable search
+
<pre><nowiki>
document.getElementById('fullsearch').disabled = flag;
+
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome sudo apt-get install ivtv-source devscripts ivtv-utils ivtv-firmware mplayer
document.getElementById('titlesearch').disabled = flag;
+
</nowiki></pre>
}
+
'''or'''
 
+
If you are in a text based environment (for example a fresh command line system install)
function searchFocus(e) {
+
<pre><nowiki>
// Update search input content on focus
+
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog sudo apt-get install ivtv-source devscripts ivtv-utils ivtv-firmware mplayer
if (e.value == 'Search') {
+
</nowiki></pre>
e.value = '';
+
* Note that PgUp/PgDown or Up/Down will scroll through the license.
e.style.color = 'black';
+
* Tab will allow you to choose the OK button to accept the license.
searchIsDisabled = false;
+
* Now, prepare module-assistant. Every time a new kernel is installed, once you boot into it, you will have to rerun these commands to reinstall the driver for that kernel:
}
+
<pre><nowiki>  
}
+
sudo m-a update,prepare
 
+
sudo m-a a-i ivtv
function searchBlur(e) {
+
sudo depmod -a  
// Update search input content on blur
+
</nowiki></pre>
if (e.value == '') {
+
* Insert the driver
e.value = 'Search';
+
<pre><nowiki>  
e.style.color = 'gray';
+
sudo modprobe ivtv
searchIsDisabled = true;
+
</nowiki></pre>
}
+
* Ensure the driver is loaded whenever the system boots.  This somewhat convoluted command just adds a line with the module name to the file <code><nowiki>/etc/modules</nowiki></code>
}
+
<pre><nowiki>  
 
+
sudo sh -c 'echo ivtv >>/etc/modules'
function actionsMenuInit(title) {
+
</nowiki></pre>
// Initiliaze action menu
+
=== Command-Line Control ===
for (i = 0; i < document.forms.length; i++) {
+
The only known application that will allow for controlling an ivtv card (as in change channels on the fly and such) is [[UbuntuHelp:MythTV|MythTV]].  The following applications also have support for ivtv video capture, but require you to change the channels externally:
var form = document.forms[i];
+
* VLC
if (form.className == 'actionsmenu') {
+
* [[UbuntuHelp:MPlayer|MPlayer]]
// Check if this form needs update
+
To change channels externally, you will need the ivtv-utils package.
var div = form.getElementsByTagName('div')[0];
+
* Enable Universe
var label = div.getElementsByTagName('label')[0];
+
* Install the package
if (label) {
+
<pre><nowiki>
// This is the first time: remove label and do buton.
+
sudo apt-get install ivtv-utils
div.removeChild(label);
+
</nowiki></pre>
var dobutton = div.getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
+
=== Troubleshooting ===
div.removeChild(dobutton);
+
==== Ubuntu-specific ====
// and add menu title
+
See the page at [[UbuntuHelp:Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting|Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting]] for Ubuntu specific troubleshooting steps.
var select = div.getElementsByTagName('select')[0];
+
<<Include(Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting/General)>>
var item = document.createElement('option');
+
=== PVR-350 S-Video Output ===
item.appendChild(document.createTextNode(title));
+
If you have a PVR-350, you can use a feature of the card that allows you to output both X and [[UbuntuHelp:MythTV|MythTV]] to the S-Video output on the card. This S-Video output is natively 720x480, and provides an excellent picture that will rival most commercial graphics card TV-Outs.  trubblemaker has written a superb howto explaining how to do this, [[UbuntuHelp:MythTV_Edgy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out|MythTV_Edgy_hardware_pvr-350_TV-out]].  The guide is targeted at edgy, but should work for dapper as well.
item.value = 'show';
+
=== Rebuild Modules ===
select.insertBefore(item, select.options[0]);
+
If you ever need to rebuild your ivtv modules for a new kernel version, here are the correct steps to follow:
select.selectedIndex = 0;
+
<pre><nowiki>
}
+
sudo rm /usr/src/ivtv*deb
}
+
sudo m-a clean ivtv
}
+
sudo m-a update,prepare
}
+
sudo m-a a-i ivtv
//-->
+
sudo depmod -a
</script>
+
</nowiki></pre>

Ubuntu 6.06 IVTV Installation

Ubuntu 6.06 requires you to add a seperate repository for IVTV support. You will need to obtain both the drivers & firmware from this repository. After kernel updates, you will have to rebuild the kernel module (described below).

Installation

  • Make sure universe & multiverse are enabled. If you're not sure, refer to these pages to set up universe and multiverse first:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#what

  • Add IVTV Repository.

An ubuntu repository for the firmware and drivers is hosted on ivtvdriver.org. Firmware updates will be released here, but driver updates will only exist for later Ubuntu versions.

  • Add repository to /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add:

deb http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu dapper all
  • Add the key this repository is built with to your apt keyring.
wget http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ubuntu/80DF6D58.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  • Update package lists
sudo apt-get update
  • Install the packages via apt-get:

If you are in a gnome based environment (for example a desktop install of Ubuntu)

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gnome sudo apt-get install ivtv-source devscripts ivtv-utils ivtv-firmware mplayer

or If you are in a text based environment (for example a fresh command line system install)

DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog sudo apt-get install ivtv-source devscripts ivtv-utils ivtv-firmware mplayer
  • Note that PgUp/PgDown or Up/Down will scroll through the license.
  • Tab will allow you to choose the OK button to accept the license.
  • Now, prepare module-assistant. Every time a new kernel is installed, once you boot into it, you will have to rerun these commands to reinstall the driver for that kernel:
 
sudo m-a update,prepare
sudo m-a a-i ivtv
sudo depmod -a 
  • Insert the driver
 
sudo modprobe ivtv 
  • Ensure the driver is loaded whenever the system boots. This somewhat convoluted command just adds a line with the module name to the file /etc/modules
 
sudo sh -c 'echo ivtv >>/etc/modules'

Command-Line Control

The only known application that will allow for controlling an ivtv card (as in change channels on the fly and such) is MythTV. The following applications also have support for ivtv video capture, but require you to change the channels externally:

To change channels externally, you will need the ivtv-utils package.

  • Enable Universe
  • Install the package
sudo apt-get install ivtv-utils

Troubleshooting

Ubuntu-specific

See the page at Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting for Ubuntu specific troubleshooting steps. <<Include(Install_IVTV_Troubleshooting/General)>>

PVR-350 S-Video Output

If you have a PVR-350, you can use a feature of the card that allows you to output both X and MythTV to the S-Video output on the card.
