How to FireDTV on Ubuntu 9.04 Requirements * Ubuntu 9.04 http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ * Use KernelCheck Kernel Tuning/Builder (Really easy way) * GCC 4.2 and 4.3 - 2.6.29 Kernel Installed from Deb and Kernel Headers and Source. http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/03/24/linux ... ian-linux/ 1. From Shell.....install KernelCheck Advanced (Development) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=618563 2. Run Sudo KernelCheck 3. Check Sources and Updates. Next 4. Select Custom Build 2.6.29 without Patches or any extras....will start downloading etc (If you are using Nvidia select to add nvidia) 5. after a few mintes, Kernel Settings screen, look for DVB Cards. Find Firedtv and tick and save. Close the settings screen. 6. Waiting 2 hours as it builds the new kernel 7. Finally Install the Kernel to Grub using the option 3 way merge. (I assume you all have are using the menu.lst, not hiding it) 8. Reboot 9. Thats it.....Install kaffeine or whatever and you should get the dvb option. If not check with modprobe firedtv -l Away you go. |
