OTHER TBS6922SE & updatelee utilities

[LocutusOfBorg]

I'm working on installing the custom kernel & utilities that updatelee has been developing. It took about 90 minutes to build the custom kernel. Since the new kernel killed my TBS driver I tried to rebuild the TBS driver with the new headers/source but make kept using the previous Ubuntu 4.2.0-41-generic kernel which, of course, won't work. The TBS driver has to be rebuilt for each kernel. I decided to move forward and deal with this issue later only to find that I had to re-partition my hard drive because / did not have enough disk space to build the updatedvb utility. Since I had to re-partition the drive to give / more disk space I had to re-install the OS along with all the updates and now I have to rebuild the 4.6 custom kernel. I hope all this effort will pay off and give me an easier to operate DVB PCIe card. Stay tuned.

About a year ago I tried to build his custom kernel and failed. Would really like to try out his program but got lost in the installation process.

I'm wondering why linux-headers-3.13.0-91-generic is getting installed when executing sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-generic ncurses-dev libproc-processtable-perl fakeroot? Why is it necessary to install those headers?

About a year ago a group of us worked running some of updatelee's utilities on the Pi.
I don't know if you have his instructions, but here is a post of his from last year:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/thr...ellite-receiver-raspberry-pi-2.346824/page-35

Our clarified instructions: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/posts/3681934/
I'm sure they have changed a lot in a year and geared towards the PI, but maybe they may be helpful.
Read on for a few more pages and check it out.

We did get some pretty spectrum scans going on the PI with UpdateDVB!!

The problem we had is the versions of everything changed so fast, we got to a point
everything just stopped working on the PI anymore for us.

I'm not able to build the drivers for my TBS6922SE with this kernel (4.6.0-rc2+). I'm able to build the drivers with kernels 4.4.0 and 4.2.0. There's a 4.6.0-rc2 kernel on my system and couldn't build the TBS6922SE modules. Here's a warning message but it looks like I have all the kernel headers:

user@server2: ~/Downloads/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers $ sudo -i
root@server2:/home/user/Downloads/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers# ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
root@server2:/home/user/Downloads/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers# make -j4
.
.
.
***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.

If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.

Then make bombs with this:

Is your processor AMD, or Intel? How many cores? Quad core?

Part of the problem with updatelee's kernel is that it doesn't boot properly. uname -a shows the rc2+ kernel but vmlinuz and initrd.img points to the wrong kernel. Yes, I ran update-grub after installing the new kernel. So, apps don't work properly and I can't build the TBS modules or the updatedvb app. I haven't figured out how to fix this issue yet.

I decided not to install updatelee's modified kernel. Anyway, I'm still working on trying to install updatelee's updatedvb app. I'm still having build issues but I been able to resolve some of them. My latest error seems strange since I'm getting this even though the error is complaining about an invalid member even though it is a member. Any ideas on how to fix this?

/updatedvb/scan.cpp:85: error: 'class QVector<double>' has no member named 'removeAll'
ys.removeAll(0);
