Hello all,
New listguy Steve here. I am running ivtv 0.3.6g right now on my Myth
system, and am considering an upgrade to the latest revisions to see if
that helps me with a memory issue. I'll post that exact memory problem
in my next message, but in an effort to get y'all the most information,
I wanted to pose some initial questions, some of the "Linux Newbie"
variety, some of the "ivtv-specific" variety -
1) How can I determine what version of various ivtv components are
running? An earlier problem of mine was solved when I re-compiled and
installed after not having the correct ivtvdev.o file. Is there a magic
Linux command like "version ivtv*" that will tell me if I've got 0.3.6g
of this component, 0.1.9 of that component? I just don't know.
2) Related, how does one ensure that one has backed up all of the
current components before installing a newer version? I know where
ivtvdev.o lives, but what of the other files? You know, in case I need
to roll back.
3) How do I turn on debug mode to get y'all the most information
possible regarding my memory problem? Scratch that, I'll search the web
for this as I realized that I haven't done that yet and don't want to
appear a slackbastard ;-)
Thanks, and allow me to say that this is an awesome project - I get
tired doing database programming, I can't imagine touching something
like device drivers and the like.
Best,
Steve
