Thought I'd add my thruppenny bit to the comments above.
This is clearly not solely an Ubuntu problem.
I have experienced the same fault on openSuse 10.3 FINAL. Standard
32-bit installation plus NVidia graphics driver; KDE desktop; no
additional packages running; no custom modifications to standard install
(Beyond NVidia driver, of course).
Card is Hauppauge Win-TV PCI with Nicam Digital Stereo (BT878), Grphx
card is XFX NVidia 6200 with 128MB RAM, Motherboard is AS Rock K7VT4A
Pro R2 running an Athlon XP 2000+ with 512MB RAM. Installed drives are
IBM Deskstar 120G (PATA) and Sony DRU-810A DVD-RW, NIC is O/B.
One piece of the jigsaw would probably be that NORMALLY my screensaver
(Crackberg) would run after 4 mins or so but when KDE-TV is running the
screensaver is suspended (by KDE-TV).
Symptoms I experienced were:
1) Shut down KDE-TV, Window closed but sound continued;
2) Opened KDE-TV again - got sound but V4L message problem - "Try changing the
settings" - or something to that effect;
3) Closed KDE-TV - sound stopped;
4) Opened KDE-TV again - got sound but no video (Similar V4L message);
5) Closed KDE-TV - sound continued;
6) Went to close session - System shutdown, sound continued;
7) Black screen - sound continuing - no activity - sound continuing;
8) Reset.
9) On restart KDE-TV functional.
Interestingly - when I ran KDE-TV on openSuse 10.2 on this machine 5
days ago - no problem, KDE-TV worked. However, at that time the same
screen-saver would pop-up despite the fact I had ticked the box saying
suspend screensaver while running KDE ("Curiouser and Curiouser", said
Alice).
So - what is the common factor between my openSuse 10.3 and your Ubuntu
versions?
Apologies for kinda hijacking your forum but looks like we are all in
the same boat on this one.
