OK. I restarted the computer. (I have never suspended that computer
before and was unsure of what would happen, but I did not realize at the
time that my the game running on my wife's computer was using a samba
share that would be disrupted.) I had no luck with ivtv-firmware, so I
have reinstalled linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.09.19. Now the output of
dmesg has changed somewhat:
michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i pvr
pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx
usbcore: registered new interface driver pvrusb2
pvrusb2: V4L in-tree version:Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner
pvrusb2: Debug mask is 31 (0x1f)
pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing.
pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper
location?
pvrusb2: request_firmware unable to locate fx2 controller file
v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw
pvrusb2: Failure uploading firmware1
pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful.
pvrusb2: Giving up since device microcontroller firmware appears to be
missing.
Does this help?
