Hauppauge hvr-2200 firmware not included

Hi Aaron,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 579783

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This is still an issue with lucid. Would be great if this firmware could be included in linux-firmware, or linux-firmware-nonfree at least.

Please test the attached firmware package.

I've been planning to test the package and will hopefully get to it in the near future (it's on my myth box which is finally working). I've just got to make sure I undo everything already there before I do.

(Note that putting the extracted firmware in /lib/firmware/, rather than /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/, seems to make it persist through kernel updates, but I haven't managed to test this explicitly. I haven't had a chance to test the .deb yet, sorry.)

I've tested the file and it works brilliantly. For your info, the three files that appear to be needed are:
dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw v4l-saa7164-1.0.2.fw v4l-saa7164-1.0.3.fw
These files are in the deb above, but not in the package in the repos for Lucid.

Once the updated package is included, it would be great if jockey could suggest the linux-firmware-nonfree package for people with an hvr-2200, so that they didn't have to manually diagnose the problem and install the package.

Thanks a lot for your help. I will keep using this package and will report any problems, but it appears to be working fine.

This is still a problem in 10.10.

Should we file a bug in Jockey to have it pop up and offer to install linux-firmware-nonfree (I really would prefer the files to be split out so I had less non-free firmware)?

Note that the version of linux-firmware-nonfree that is in the 10.10 repositories does not include the necessary files. It would be great to get this into the repos for 11.04.

I unassigned myself because I don't have the time needed to see this to completion. Hopefully someone else will pick this up.

Because Steven has added experimental analogue support, the card now requires an extra firmware file to load.

The file is:
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw

http://www.kernellabs.com/blog/?p=1443
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/4019072/

And I have now tested this in Natty and this is still required.

I can also confirm that this linux-firmware-nonfree in the natty repository does not have the needed firmware. The firmware in the package posted by Chase fixes the problem.

What needs to be done to get all the firmwares listed at
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/firmwares/
into the linux-firmware-nonfree package ?
Having this available for jockey or via package management would be very nice.

This is still an issue and I have to manually come back to this page and download this .deb and that other firmware file every time that I reinstall. It would be great if someone could please just push this package into the repos.

I have asked on the ubuntu-motu mailing list about this package update, ubuntu-motu subscribed to this bug.

Thanks Caysho.

Alex/Caysho--do you need the NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw file to get the driver to load, or is the .deb in this bug report sufficient for you?

I haven't tried without the file, so would be keen to know if the .deb here is sufficient or needs to be updated.

As another note, it would be awesome to have a new version of the .deb file simply so that Upgrade Manager doesn't keep telling me to update!

The NXP7164 chip needs the firmware for the driver work.
I am not a motu - I just wanted to make sure people are aware it needs to be packaged.
There are eight files in total, and if I was familiar with building packages I would do a new one :)

Hi guys I have the current instructions for installation here, also a direct link for every firmware in a convenient zip.

It would be still great if we didn't have to run all these extra steps for a 5 year old TV card.

I have removed MOTU from the subscribed users as it got no attention from them.
I have subscribed the Ubuntu Kernel Team instead.
