Upgrade 42.3 to 15 - DVB-S card no longer recognized correctly

Hi there! Have an older remote Dell Precision workstation (via VNC) with a DVB-S card doing fine with 42.3 https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4400 Firmware is in place: dvb-fe-tda10071.fw is in /lib/firmware . lspci: https://susepaste.org/74882738 dmesg: https://paste.opensuse.org/57813971 The card is apparently not recognized as DVB-S and does not show up any longer in Kaffeine. Any ideas how to fix this? :frowning: Many thanks in advance

Would downgrading to 42.3 be an option? Is it even possible?

Ok, installed Kaffein4 from KDE Extra Repo (freshly added), I can see the channels in kaffein, the devices are shown, but in the respective tabs under ā€œTelevisonā€ there is given ā€œDevice not connectedā€.

However, in Yast - Hardware the card is shown, no errors in dmesg, firmware is present, modprobe is OK.

As I canā€™t access the DVD-drive while logged in via VNC, is there a new ā€œsecurity featureā€ not allowing VNC access to PCI TV-cards? I found nothing in Yast - Security, but I think there was something in the past. Searched interweb, without successā€¦

Any help on that?

PS: In /dev/dvb/ I see /adater0 and /adapter1 with some empty files in it (demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0)

This makes no sense at allā€¦

Finally and in the end, some reboots and kaffein is back to work. Case closedā€¦
