[Bug 1291459] Re: ioctl FE_GET_INFO hangs with DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 card
psalter, I have just reproduced the fix you described in post #17. I am now able to use my Dvico Fusion Dual Digital 4 again! I installed the packages linux-image-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid The net result is linux-image-generic-3.19.0-49-generic linux-headers-generic-3.19.0-49-generic and my tuners work at last!

[Bug 1291459] Re: ioctl FE_GET_INFO hangs with DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 card
Thanks to the details above I was able to get my Dvico Fusion Dual Digital 4 working on Mythbuntu Trusty 14.04.3 . The problem was solved at kernel 3.19. Problem is related to cxusb.c where the #define MAX_XFER_SIZE 80 was changed from 64 to 80. Details of change are at LinuxTV.org: https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/?id=eb9da073bd002f2968c84129a5c49625911a3199 diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c index b7461ac..f379f7e 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ #include "si2157.h" /* Max transfer size done by I2C transfer functions */ -#define MAX_XFER_SIZE 64 +#define MAX_XFER_SIZE 80 /* debug */ static int dvb_usb_cxusb_debug; I looked through the ubuntu kernels for the updated cxusb.c and found it looked ok after 3.19.0 .

Re: [Bug 1291459] Re: ioctl FE_GET_INFO hangs with DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 card
It turns out that a much deeper fix is necessary, and I have not created it. My current solution is to blacklist the driver. I plan to replace the card. Alternatively, you could big the guys at Linux tv.org, the ones who write the drivers in the first place. Launched doesn't seem to be where they hang out. The change I made was in the kernel source code. First you have to get the ubuntu kernel source. After making the change, you have to recompile the kernel module and copy it into the correct location. The process is very technical and requires developer skills. But, it doesn't work as well as I claimed. Regards, Ben Stanley On 28 August 2014 5:21:08 AM Blowdesign 1291...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: Hi, How do fix this issue ?

After further work and testing, I have found that changing drivers/media/tuners/tuner-xc2028.c:28 #define MAX_XFER_SIZE 80 to #define MAX_XFER_SIZE 61 is enough to fix the problem.

[Bug 1291459] Re: ioctl FE_GET_INFO hangs with DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital 4 card
I have poked around in the source code and found some inconsistencies.
=
Summary:
There are multiple definitions of MAX_XFER_SIZE in the drivers/media
sub-directory, containing values such as 64, 80, 128, 256.
The definition that appears to matter is in
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c
#define MAX_XFER_SIZE 64
It seems that passing a larger msg.len to cxusb_i2c_xfer causes the errors
noted in this report.
The buffer size is declared separately in various places, having many different
sizes. It seems that there are many ways that this error could be caused.
I have changed MAX_XFER_SIZE in tuner-xc2028.c from 80 to 64. With this
change, the kernel logs no longer contain an error when the firmare is
loaded. Indeed, the firmware appears to load successfully.
However, I have not yet been able to test whether a DVB signal can be
received and decoded.
These tests were performed after upgrading to trusty 14.04, using kernel
3.13.0-24-generic.
