Looks like your make command is missing -

In terminal,

or

if you are not root.

Also, it's trying to compile the cxusb frontend driver, not cx24113.

hello and thank you for your help
the link works fine
I did not notice it install cxusb
I'm lost

Llew

I suggest changing your distro to the latest Opensuse, which has the later 2.6.29 kernel. This contains a driver for the CX24113.

I had to do the same for kernel 2.6.28 when I had the Skystar 2.6 card as I had similar problems trying to update a driver for that.

The next Ubuntu release will have 2.6.29, but I understand they will be not including the CX24113 driver from what I have read. Strange.

hi
i have the same problem,skystar2 rev 2.8 don't work in ubuntu 9.04
please help me

Llew

If you have no luck using the tutorial here -

_http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_SkyStar_2_TV_PCI_/_Sky2PC_PCI#Technisat_SkyStar_2_TV_PCI_with_FlexCo pIII_Rev_2.8

Then I can only suggest finding a distro with kernel 2.6.29 (one with the CX24113 driver included).

can i upgrade my ubuntu 9.04(kernel 2.6.28) toward the kernel 2.6.29 ???
thanks

Llew

It's not trivial. The usual way is to compile it yourself if you're familiar with Linux. There are easier methods, but you may run into problems with video drivers and others.

Do a search online with the terms "upgrading kernel ubuntu" without the quotes.
