I have the same problem with that scan, please use the older one called scan.

Are you running the szap below as root, but kaffeine as a normal user ?

If so, make sure that you are in the group video.

downloading channel.conf from Astra1
has not brought me force.

szap 3sat
reading channels from file '/home/elm/.szap/channels.conf'
zapping to 20 '3sat':
sat 0, frequency = 11954 MHz V, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x00d2, apid

This is the first proof that your device is present and the driver is correctly loaded. Please check the output of the dmesg-program to check for lines starting with b2c2-flexcop.

what should that output mean?

it means, it can't synchronize the channel on that frequency. This can have a whole bunch of explaination - not necessarily only the driver.

why does szap not terminate?

It stays in the monitoring loop. Normal.

Patrick.
