I did an update about 1-2 weeks ago (et9500).

 

My et9500 produces "glitches" while recording when I switch to another chanel (transponder).

So in the past I changed /etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf:

tpm
modloader
modloader2
dvb lnb_power_off_in_standby=0

With new kernel I get an error message:

root@et9x00:~# update-modules
/etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf: line 1: tpm: not found
/etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf: line 2: modloader: not found
/etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf: line 3: modloader2: not found
/etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf: line 4: dvb: not found
Error while executing /etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf, aborting

I get the same error message, when I change it back !

I use notepad++

 

What could be the reason for this error massage?

 

Regards Martin

Dos lineendings perhaps?

Hi Pieterg,

most probably not. I have provided them a properly formatted file and with it the problem was still there.
With old kernel there is no problem. If I have time tomorrow I'll test it with new kernel.

[betacentauri]

I have updated to current kernel (3.7.8) and have made the changed in the _et9x00.conf file (via vi). Afterwards I have started update-modules and I don't get the error message.
Strange, because there are 2 users (in the et-view forum) which have the same problem and I provided them a gzipped conf file (edited with vi on the box).
@Martin_b: Do you have experiences with vi? If yes, please change the conf file on the box. If you don't have experiences, do this:
(I hope I don't forget anything).

Make a backup: cp _et9x00.conf _et9x00.conf.bak
Open file: vi _et9x00.conf.
Activate insert mode: Press i.
Edit file: Type normally. At best delete everything in the file and start from beginning, so that we are sure that all line feeds are formatted properly.
When you have finished or have problems, press "ESC". Then to store the file press :wq<enter>. To discard changes press :q!<enter>.
In worst case (you can't close vi), kill vi process from another telnet session.

Hi betacentauri,

 

with vi it works fine.

update-modules works without an error message.

 

after update-modules:

cat /sys/module/dvb/parameters/lnb_power_off_in_standby
1

 

after reboot

cat /sys/module/dvb/parameters/lnb_power_off_in_standby
0

 

This behaviour is a little bit different from old kernel.

With old kernel a reboot was not necessary (only update-modules).

With old kernel it was no problem to edit _et9x00.conf with windows / notepad++

 

Thanks

Martin

Or use the command dos2unix on that file.... After editing with dos like editor....

[Martin_B]

File permission was the reason for the problem.

Saving the file with a windows based editor changes file permissions.

Copy file with windows explorer also changes file permissions!

 

chmod 644 /etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf

solves the problem.

 

Saving the file with vi does not change file permissions and works as well.

 

Thanks to betacentauri and hounce from et-view-support.com

Martin

With PLI4 update-modules doesn't work anymore.
I get an error message:

root@et9x00:~# update-modules
-sh: update-modules: not found
root@et9x00:~#

Settings in /etc/modules-load.d/_et9x00.conf have no effect.

[betacentauri]

According to this update-modules doesn't exist any more:

http://lists.openemb...ary/072986.html

 

I found a solution (mentioned in the URL):

Create new file /etc/modprobe.d/_et9x00.conf. Write this into the file:

options dvb lnb_power_off_in_standby=0

Restart box.

Thanks al lot !!!!!!!
