[SOLVED] TVTime problem

basheer · 07-09-2010, 08:21 AM

Hi All,
I'm using slackware13.1. Recently I downloaded slackbulid for tvtime and installed it. It works properly only when i do the following.

sudo rmmod saa7134
sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=9 alsa=1

Again if I restart the system, I have to redo it.
How do I fix it permanently?
Please help.

Stick the commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local without the sudo. And I don't think you actually need the rmmod line in rc.local. My lsmod doesn't show that module.

In previous versions of Slackware I would've just put something like this in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options saa7134 card=42 tuner=9 alsa=1

Nowadays it may be more correct to create a file, say tvcard.conf, consisting of that one line in the /etc/modprobe.d directory.

Thanx DonnieP, I did as you have told. It's working perfectly.
In Slackware13.1 All I had to do was open /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the following lines...

rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=51

In Ubuntu 10.04
open /etc/rc.local add the following lines

rmmod saa7134_alsa
rmmod saa7134
modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=51 alsa=1

Thanx to fskmh also for his kind suggestion.
