How do I open Hauppauge WinTV in ubuntu 18.04? This same question was asked with no answer by Chris Hutton on Nov. 22, 2019 at:Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD not working on ubuntu 18.04So, I'm asking again. Like Chris, I followed the Install WinTV on Ubuntu HWE version installation instructions from this page: Source: Everything seemed to install without any errors. When it was all finished there it sat and still sets since 3-18-2020. I can't find a way to open WinTV. I'm not all that familiar with the linux jargon so please keep it in layman's terms if someone does have an answer. I have followed all the links associated with this but cannot see an answer in any of them. I have searched Activities but all it gives me are links to things I've saved on my computer about Hauppauge WinTV. I just tried running the instructions from this page: The first instruction is:
Extract hauppauge_hdpvr2_.tar.gzFor this guide the file was saved and extracted on Desktop. But it does not tell you how to extract it? So, I went ahead and ran these instructions thinking maybe these are the instructions they're talking about:
Install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install build-essentialMove to hauppauge folder on Desktop
$ cd Desktop
$ cd hauppauge_hdpvr2_Got: bash: cd: hauppauge_hdpvr2_: No such file or directorySo I created the directory:
rob@rob-MS-7721:~/Desktop$ mkdir hauppauge_hdpvr2_
rob@rob-MS-7721:~/Desktop$ cd hauppauge_hdpvr2_
rob@rob-MS-7721:~/Desktop/hauppauge_hdpvr2_$and continued...
Copy file 99-Hauppauge-PVR2.rules
$ sudo cp 99-Hauppauge-PVR2.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/Got:
cp: cannot stat '99-Hauppauge-PVR2.rules': No such file or directory
rob@rob-MS-7721:~/Desktop$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.I could see this was useless and Stopped.
Is there a driver I need? If so, how do I know what one? This page shows a bunch of drivers but not what they are for?
Thanks for any help you can provide, Rob
