Guil, thanks for pointing out the repository path. > you need > ivtv-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 Unfortunately, all attempts to install those rpms leads to more dependency frustration: the package manager complains your not having /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg. So I search the mailing list for /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-init.mpg and I find advice like this: > why don't you simply use yum and get it in one sweep: > > yum install ivtv ivtv-kmdl-`uname -r` Which has taken me full circle! I noticed that yum thinks it needs the drivers for kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 and tries to install them, which leads to the transparency error. Is there any way to have yum *not* use that kernel? Alternatively, if I go back to trying rpms from that site, could you tell me which ones and what sequence? I used the yum output to try to do that, but it seems everything depends on a package called ivtv-kmdl-1:0.10.1-126.fc6.at which I can't find at that site. > > -guil > > Quoting Denis Papathanasiou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > I've followed the instructions for Fedora -- > > http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Fedora -- but when I try to run > > the installation command: > > > > # yum install ivtv ivtv-kmdl-`uname -r` > > > > I get this result: > > > > > ============================================================================= > > Package Arch Version Repository > Size > > > ============================================================================= > > Installing: > > ivtv i386 1:0.10.1-126.fc6.at atrpms > > 136 k > > ivtv-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 i686 1:0.10.1-126.fc6 atrpms > > 74 k > > Installing for dependencies: > > ivtv-firmware noarch 2:20070217-13.at atrpms > 122 k > > ivtv-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 i686 1:0.10.1-126.fc6.at atrpms > > 74 k > > kernel i686 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 updates > > 16 M > > perl-Video-Frequencies noarch 0.03-4.fc6.at atrpms 23 > k > > perl-Video-ivtv i386 0.13-8.fc6.at atrpms 23 > k > > > > Transaction Summary > > > ============================================================================= > > Install 7 Package(s) > > Update 0 Package(s) > > Remove 0 Package(s) > > > > Total download size: 16 M > > Is this ok [y/N]: y > > Downloading Packages: > > Running Transaction Test > > Finished Transaction Test > > > > > > Transaction Check Error: > > package kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 (which is newer than > > kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6) is already installed > > > > Error Summary > > ------------- > > > > > > Does this mean I need to downgrade my kernel to > > kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 for the ivtv installation to work? > > > > When I originally installed Fedora, I did have the i586 problem > > described, but I ran the kernel-fix.sh script on the Fedora wiki, and > > I have the i686 kernel: > > > > # rpm -qa 'kernel*' --queryformat > "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" > > kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i386 > > kernel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686 > > kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6.i686 > > > > My card is the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500MCE, and according to lspci, > > it's there (I thought it might have been physically mounted > > incorrectly/not all pci pins touching, etc., but that's not the case): > > > > # lspci -v > > > > 03:08.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 > > (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) > > Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.
