Hi,
vdr is running fine on my machine except for one strange thing.
I can start/stop vdr perfectly fine, but when I select "Neustart" in the vdr menu (restart), it is coming into an endless loop of restarting itself.
The logfile then says: ov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: loading /var/lib/vdr/remote.conf Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: loading /var/lib/vdr/keymacros.conf Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost input.agent[16860]: evdev: already loaded Nov 12 16:31:56 localhost vdr[16858]: no DVB device found
When I say /etc/init.d/vdr restart everything works fine.
What is going wrong here? System details are:
Ubuntu 5.10 kernel 2.6.12-9-k7 vdr 1.3.27 Hauppauge Nexus-s Rev 2.3
Difference is that on initscript restart the drivers will not be reloaded, on restart from menu the drivers will be reloaded. Most probably udev/hotplug takes it time to create the device nodes. This is some seconds on my system, in debian 15 sec's is default waittime after driver reload
