Hi,

Thank you so much for continuing to try to help me.  I tried what you
suggested... some modules didn't load.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe i2c-core
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe i2c-algo-bit
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe saa7111
modprobe: FATAL: Module saa7111 not found.

Means that this module is not included in the kernel.


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe saa7185
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'saa7185': Operation not permitted
When you see "operation not permitted" it could mean that you do not 
have sufficient rights. Reading your commandline I would guess that you 
are not root. Try adding sudo infrot the command that did not work:

sudo modprobe saa7185
and:
sudo modprobe zr36060

My (and googles) other ideas about the problem sound strange and more 
work like disabling secure boot.



ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ modprobe zr36060
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'zr36060': Operation not permitted
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ insmod saa7111.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not load module saa7111.ko: No such file or directory

It looks at least good. It means that the PCI Switch on the card works.

Don't know if this helps?
Did you also try to load the modules for the buz as I did describe, and 
look at the output of the kernel ? That would be more interesting.

Some commands like:
modprobe i2c-core
modprobe i2c-algo-bit
modprobe saa7111
modprobe saa7185
modprobe zr36060

You might need to replace the modprobe with insmod, and add .ko to the 
module name.

Take a look in /proc/scsi there should be  scsi file you can view.

Or you try loading the driver for the SCSI controller:

When you load the module it would be good to check if the kernel writes

I don't know if there is a possibility to set anything.

When you search the /var/log/boot.log  and /var/log/boot.msg
do you find any hints about the buz, advansys or zoran ?

dmesg lets you view the boot messages (probably a file in /var/log) any
hint about the zoran and the driver would be very helpful.

Hallo,

You write in the subject that you have a Iomega Buz card, but the lspci
output say's ZR36057. Which was used in the DC10/DC30. Does your card
have a SCSI interface connector and a 15 pin connector on the
backplane ?
The buz was the most problematic card, because it had a PCI Switch on
the card for the ZR36067 and the SCSI controller.

It should also load the driver for the TV decoder and encoder.

When you do a lsmod | grep zr you should see the loaded modules. Are
some v4l (video4linux) modules loaded too ?

I don't know if it is a problem if the lspci does not show you the
card.
Does the lspci command (or some boot log) show you a hint that the scsi
controller ist recognized.

When you start in a 2nd terminal a command like that:
tail -f /var/log/messages

You should see the messages when the kernel loads the driver. That
output would be very helpful.

The output from the kernel when you load the drivers should be very
helpful. To see if that kernel recognizes the card.

That Chip was used in the Pinnacle/Miro DC10(new and old), and in the 
Pinnacle/Miro DC30. The Cards use differen IC's for TV encoding a 
decoding and for the mjpeg encoder:

That is a older kernel (~8years old) which is a good thing.

Can you point me to instructions on where to download the right
driver and then how to load a driver manually? 

The correct driver should be shipped with the linux kernel.
Usually the kernel modules are located in /lib/modules/ go to that 
directory and search for zoran, zr36, saa711, adv717


It should find some files.

    tried older kernel (see above) still not working
If there search did find a zoran module try to load the modules as root 
with a command like this for a first test:

modprobe -n -v --show-depends zoran

And once without the --show-depends, and if the output looks prosing 
without the -n


If there s no zoran.o, replace the zoran with zr36067, so the command 
looked like that: modprobe -n -v --show-depends zr36067

Re: [Mjpeg-users] Lubuntu doesn't seem to recognize IOmega Buz capture card

[Bernhard Praschinger]

Hallo,

Some thought's about what you try to accomplish. Sorry for the longer 
delay.


I have a Zoran based capture card that Lubuntu doesn't seem to 
recognize.  Here is what I have done so far.  I'm new to linux so please 
take that into consideration with you instructions.


 1. lspci | grep Zoran
Which card do you actually want to use ? I don't know the type by the 
output of lspci.



 2. sudo dmidecode -t 2

Is there support for AMD 790FX chipset?

Which kernel does the distribution use ? (uname -a)

3. Kernel.org 
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/media/v4l-drivers/zoran.html 



"unified zoran driver (zr360x7, zoran, buz, dc10(+), dc30(+), lml33)"

I think this covers my card right?

That is the correct part of the documentation.


4. Tried steps
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/media/v4l-drivers/zoran.html#how-do-i-get-this-damn-thing-to-work
Looking for the Zoran Conf file but it's not there
If I understand the text correct you should try to load the driver 
manually, and if that works you create the file so you don't need to do 
everything manually.



5. Load zr36067.o.
How do I do that?
Depending on the kernel your distribution uses it can be that the driver 
is in the staging area. And not available by default.
Newer Kernel like 4.x might have that problem. So if possible use a 
older distribution using a kernel 3.x or 2.6.x Also the mjpegtools and 
lavrec need oss, and have no native support for alsa means that 
recording sound can be tricky.



 6. run ‘v4l-conf -c ’
what do I use for the device?  Is it some part of what I found in
lspci?  The numeric portion (is that an ID?)



auf hoffentlich bald,
