Hello !
After last updates dvb stick pinnacle PCTV doesn't work anymore in my wife notebook.
My wife notebook: acer extensa 5220e, Mageia 5 32 bit
In my pc desktop Mageia 5 64 bit, the dvb stick is OK (light led).
In acer extensa 5220e the LED light does not light.
In dmesg i found this:

Code: Select all

[   27.549613] dvb-usb: found a 'Pinnacle PCTV 73e SE' in cold state, will try to load a firmware
[   27.606386] usb 2-1: Direct firmware load for dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw failed with error -2
[   27.606394] dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw) Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on firmware-problems. (-2)
[   27.607108] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700

I hope in your advices

As I assumed, you're missing the kernel-firmware-nonfree package from the nonfree repos. Please install it again and you should be fine again. Although it's still strange that it got removed ... did you somehow disable the nonfree repos or so?

Another way to find out is to simply query all repositories for the firmware file that you are missing currently ( dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw )

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia5]─[15:21:45]─[~] urpmf dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw|sort -u                                                                                                                                         
kernel-firmware-nonfree:/lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw

Thank you !
I solved installing kernel-firmware-nonfree
It's strange that before it's disappeared.
