[ivtv-users] ivtvfb causes shutdown procedure to crash

[Paul van Gerven]

I am taking advantage of the holidays to address a couple of annoyances with
my Hauppauge 350 set up, which has Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.9-27, ivtv
version 1.4) installed. One of them is not being able to properly shutdown
when ivtvfb is loaded.

* When initiating the shutdown procedure, the screens (I use separate X
servers for my monitor and the framebuffer on the TV) go blank almost
immediately, a beep sounds from the pc speaker and then the system hangs. No
mouse cursor, numlock won't work, but there is some occasional disc
activity. Eventually, I have to press the off button. I can tell the
shutdown procedure is not completed, because mounted volumes are not
properly unmounted.

I do not know what info/output I should give to help debug this problem. I
cannot ssh into the machine when it has crashed (if that was an option to
begin with). All I know is that when I comment out ivtvfb in /etc/modules,
the computer shuts down fine.

* Another annoyance might actually be a Mythtv (v0.21) problem. When I quit
live tv, it tends to hang for 15-20 seconds (about 20 % of the time) or hang
indefinetely (about 5 % of the time). What info would be required to debug
this?

* And finally, another Mythtv problem, probably, but I might as well post it
here while I am at it: PAL teletext does not work. I get a 'page not
available' message, but that is it.
