Hi all! My first topic and am a beginner in Linux and am requesting your help. I'm attempting to get my Hauppauge tv tuner card to run with Kaffene in Zorin 17. Followed the procedure and Zorin not recognizing the hardware. Thanks for any and all help. Michael B
Hi, and welcome to Zorin OS.
Does this work even without Kaffene turned off? I assume this is the Gnome shell extension "Caffeine"?
Perhaps you have to add the ppa of hauppauge to get your tv tuner card to work? Before doing this please disable secure boot in your BIOS. In the link you can see which cards are supported.
It could be also a problem with wayland that is used in Zorin 17 core by default. Caffeine makes problems with wayland.
You can switch to Xorg. Logout and at loginscreen click on your username then a cog appears on the screen. There you set "Zorin desktop on XOrg" and then enter your password to login.
But I'm not sure if that helps. There are problems reported with caffeine on Z17:
Does not work even with Kaffeine turned off. Removed Kaffiene and now looking for different Zorin app to run for tv viewing.
