swiftgeekIs this the right channel for RTL2832u DVB-T regressions? [21:06]
iivethat's the right channel for dvb. [21:09]
swiftgeekbut for kernel module regression too? happened on 3.19->4.0 (unrelated bug forced me to stay on lts) [21:12]
iivewell, there are developers around. but they might not be looking at their irc clients atm.
sometimes you need to be patient.
[21:15]
swiftgeekhttp://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/88157 it looks in keywords kinda similar
i don't get errors after disabling remote
[21:15]
iiveand yes. there are mostly kernel developers. most of the drivers are in kernel and they maintain the media branch that gets merged in the main. [21:16]
swiftgeeki always get surprised by how many times this dongle breaks and nobody notices for few releases, because everybody is on rtlsdr ;D
but this is different completely for sure
automatic bandwidth selection in vlc doesn't work anymore, seemingly selecting bandwidth=0
" rtl2832 7-0010: invalid bandwidth_hz 0"
[21:17]
iivei think i've seen that too. I thought it is vlc problem. [21:23]
swiftgeekdon't want to be a dick but "do not break userspace"
:P
[21:24]
i know, rule doesn't apply after so much time passed [21:31]
....... (idle for 31mn)
huuuuh
this is getting weird
so behaviour has changed
low quality signal gets bandwidth set to 0
[22:02]
iivethis doesn't make sense. bandwidth is something you need in order to lock the demodulator. quality is function of the demodulation. [22:06]
swiftgeeki can only tell this one thing
changing kernel makes things works perfectly fine
best test case for immediately spotting difference would be not connecting antenna at all :D
yup
as soon as i have not perfect signal something chooses bandwidth 0
since such bandwidth wouldn't make any sense i will assume that it's a new error code that wasn't there before
k let's try now with IR remote, i thought that i had to disable that part
with remote enabled it completely fails
eg "r820t_read: i2c rd failed=-32 reg=00 len=2: 61 c8"
[22:08]
iivei2c is bus that could be shared by more than one device. [22:19]
swiftgeekthe point is that it's a regression anyway [22:20]
iiveyeh...
you are right again.
[22:20]
swiftgeekand it's not the first time it is mentioned
but since kernel trap is gone i'm lost
[22:21]
iivei think you should really talk with some developer [22:23]
swiftgeekso better channel than this? [22:23]
iivemchehab, crope these i know .
just stay around. they will came out, eventually.
[22:24]
swiftgeekmy experience with mailinglists isn't particularly good (leads to acid atmosphere in the same time as resolved on irc ;>) [22:25]
iiveyeh... [22:25]
swiftgeekeg. radeon issue was fixed and patched upstream in just 3h
(was killing boot)
[22:25]
iivei could ask you to do a bisect, but i've bisected kernel before... the chance that rc0 contains bugs that hang your system is non trivial. [22:26]
swiftgeekif i had machine to bisect i would be doing that now
unless i can compile this outside of tree?
[22:26]
iiveyes, i think the this branch have something like that.
but i haven't used it.
[22:27]
swiftgeekjust to leave it here - if scope will be needed for debugging of this issue i has DS1052E so can do [22:29]
iiveoscilloscope ? [22:30]
swiftgeekyup [22:30]
iivelet's hope it won't came to that :) [22:30]
swiftgeekwell it's light and very portable
but it will be pain to setup it
[22:30]
iivewell, it also increase the risk of damaging your dongle... [22:31]
swiftgeeknope
they all have SMA now
also all R820T tuners are coming corroded and barely soldered
so one has to desolder, use sandpaper and then solder back on the board ;D
this is why i love QFN packages so much
there is no way you could possibly damage package in any sane way
[22:31]
iivehehe... ok.
you know what you do :)
[22:35]
swiftgeekoh
those dongles are used for rtl-sdr
but thanks to DVB-T i could buy more of them
[22:35]
iivebtw, check if the old (working) kernel supports remote at all.
what is rtl-sdr?
[22:36]
swiftgeeksoftware defined radio driver (userspace)
and old working kernel supports remote fine
no idea actually about the new one
i have three identical dongles, two very accessible at any time
i have a feel that one issue is directly hw/sw related (i^2c/remote/tuner one) and the one with selecting bandwidth is of that do not break userspace kind
but too dumb to do more than guess
[22:36]
iiveit's definitely software related. [22:42]
swiftgeeki'm trying to understand device trees now
i mean like bad timing causing hw to glitch
like my recently discovered gate phone / lock that doesn't accept nearly half of iButtons
[22:42]
i should probably go back to device trees :<
reverse eng. working binary -> source
opensource.: source -> working binary
