Problem getting Kaffeine up and running

[apappasmurf]

Hi! I have a Nebula electronics DiGiTV Tuner card and a sata hard drive with Kubuntu installed. After a lot of searching around I now know that the card has been detected. I have installed Kaffeine-xine, w32codecs and a few other packages I can't remember them all. Now when I try to open Kaffeine I get the message " can't bind info socket " and then another message " Could not get/set setting from/on resource. Can anyone help? as I am tempted to install from scratch. But I would still end up stymied. Thanks in advance

Hi!
This is my set up

O/S Kubuntu 5.10
M/B Abit AT7-max2
CPU AMD Athlon XP 2500+
Memory 1Gb
Graphics Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 (ChainTech)
TV Tuner Nebula Electronics DigiTV (terrestrial)
Kernal 2.6.12
Modules loaded
Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev11)
Multimedia Audio controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev11)

The last two lines are the only indication that I have a tv tuner card installed.

The information below was copied from a review of the card at .

I figure a similar routine might work for me I hope. The question I have now is how do I find the correct path for the modprobe config file in Kubuntu 5.10?

Date: 09-10-2005 Compatible? yes | Price paid: $202.27 | Linux Compatibility: 9


Kernel
(uname -r): 2.6.13-9-default
Distribution: Suse 10.0 RC1

I'm giving this 9 because it was not automatically configured by suse. After installing, in yast, i had to click on the tv card select expert settings and choose kernel module dvb-bt8xx clicked next and then selected kernel module nxt6000. On someone else's suggestion I also added these lines to modprobe.conf.local in /etc:

options bttv card=0x68 i2c_hw=1
install bttv /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bttv && { /sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx; /sbin/modprobe nxt6000; /bin/true; }
remove bttv { /sbin/modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx dst nxt6000 dvb-core; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove bttv


After rebooting kaffeine detected my card, found stations. It is now fully working.

Many thanks
