Linux kernel 4.20 - blackmagic-io no load

Hello,

To signal that the blackmagic-io module does not load with kernel 4.20-rcX and 4.20
The modules seem to compile, but impossible to load blacmagic-io

Regards,
Jerome

I can confirm that. Intensity Pro 4k. Arch, kernel 4.20.0. Please fix this.

I have the same problem in Kernel v4.20.6.
I tried the following command but "depmod" failed.

Code: Select all

$ sudo dkms install blackmagic-io/10.11.4a9 -k 4.20.6-042006-generic --verbose --force

Could anyone help me?

I am also having this problem. Decklink Duo on Fedora 28. kernel version 4.20.6-100.

Confirming the same on this end Fedora 29 Intensity Pro 4K , 4.20.6-200. It was working under 4.20.5, I booted into that version but no go.

Emailed issue to Devs.

Any update on this?

Can't get Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt working on Fedora 29.

BM Devs, Any update on this issue?

This has been going on for a while now. Hopefully there is an update that fixes this in the works. We have resorted back to a v4.19 kernel to get us by. We will need to move forward at some point soon and this would be nice to have fixed before NAB.

Desktop Video 11.0 was released however the problem still seems to exist for me on Fedora 29. The readme does state that only Fedora 27-28 is supported which is disappointing.

Same here, while Linux has improved over the years with it's plug and play /device support it's quirks like these that still are bothersome. I really do not want to have to go the RHEL or Centos route as I enjoy using Fedora and being on the most recent kernel.

With Debian sid, kernel 4.20.15 & DesktopVideo 11.0a18

There is a problem with make and the '.a' files. We must rename the '.a' in .'o_shipped ', then modify the makefile.

For the postinstall error, the directory is wrong in the dkms.conf :
"../../lib/blackmagic/blackmagic-loader $PACKAGE_NAME $PACKAGE_VERSION" => "../../lib/blackmagic/DesktopVideo/blackmagic-loader $PACKAGE_NAME $PACKAGE_VERSION"

Starting from the package desktopvideo_11.0a18_amd64.deb:
dpkg-deb -R desktopvideo_11.0a18_amd64.deb tmp
mv ./tmp/usr/src/blackmagic-11.0a18/bmd-support.{a,o_shipped}
mv ./tmp/usr/src/blackmagic-io-11.0a18/blackmagic.{a,o_shipped}
sed -i 's/\.a/.o/' ./tmp/usr/src/blackmagic-*/Makefile
sed -i 's/blackmagic-loader/DesktopVideo\/blackmagic-loader/g' ./tmp/usr/src/blackmagic-*11.0a18/dkms.conf
dpkg-deb -b tmp desktopvideo_11.0a18_amd64_fixed.deb
su -c "dpkg -i desktopvideo_11.0a18_amd64_fixed.deb"

Don't work with kernel 5.0

This is literally getting ridiculous! Over two months now, and BMD cannot get this fixed? Both modules will compile manually just fine. But trying to insmod them, I get unknown symbols. Not to mention all the undefined errors:

I understand these are warnings and not failures, and the modules do build. But they will not load. depmod returns

To BMD: Your readme files claims to support Fedora 28. It doesn't! A very large percentage of broadcast television software/firmware is now Linux based. I commend you for having supported Linux so well in the past, but your present support seemingly sucks beyond believe! Two months broken now...REALLY? Get off your asses and fix this on Fedora 28+, PLEASE! Or stop claiming to support it. I love you guys, but I need a working system with modern kernels.Having to manually build a 4.19 kernel just for BMD to work is fscked up.

This is literally getting ridiculous! Over two months now, and BMD cannot get this fixed? Both modules will compile manually just fine. But trying to insmod them, I get unknown symbols. Not to mention all the undefined errors:

Hi Lexridge,

The problem comes from the compilation. These warnings, in this context, should be considered as errors.
The links between the functions contained in the 2 libraries of BMD (bmd-support.a and blackmagic.a) are not done. The compiler indicates this and assumes that they will be defined in another linked module later ... This is not the intended behavior and the reason why the loading of the modules is refused (because the functions are undefined).
You must rename the '.a' files to '.o_shipped' and also change the 2 MakeFiles by replacing the '$ (KLIB_NAME) .a' by '$ (KLIB_NAME) .o'

Warning: both modules (blackmagic and blackmagic-io) are problematic and must be re-created correctly.

It works under a kernel 4.20.15

Okay, I will give this a try later today. So it seems you have managed to make yours work with this fix? Thanks for the tip.

Are you saying this works without modifications and incident when using the 4.20.15 kernel?

Can someone post step by step instructions to compile this manually pls.

Thank you for your assistance.

Can the installation files be updated do the extra renaming steps and changing the make files? Can't you just fix this without us having to do any manual steps?

The reason why I purchased my Intensity Shuttle was because it is Linux supported but right now it's just a brick on my desk. I ended up purchasing a cheap Chinese capture device from eBay and I don't have any issues like this, I just plugged and played it!

Can you post a link to that device please, and does resolve and fusion recognize it?

I know it's USB 3 and not Thunderbolt like my Shuttle but the thing just works. I'm sure it doesn't produce the same quality as the Shuttle but again I've not been able to use the Shuttle in Linux hence why I turned around and purchased the cheap Chinese device.

It detects it as a USB camera I think, I didn't need to install any drivers.

I've used it in OBS, I've not tried it in resolve or fusion.

This fix does indeed work. Great job on discovering the problems with it!! I now have my BMD cards working again (5 varieties of them). There are two ways you can do this. Follow the fix and just type "make" from each folder, then 'insmod' the .ko files (you will have to do this after every reboot using this method, unless you copy them to your /lib/modules/[kernel-version]/extras/ folder manually, or write a script to do it). The better method would be to make the changes then run the dkms command again, resulting in installed .ko.xz files. When I have time I will write up explicit instructions if anyone needs them.

When time permits this would be helpful, i'm sure it will be way before BMD corrects it.

Hello,

Here is a "quick and dirty" shell script that fixes the makefiles and renames the libraries on Fedora 29, as suggested by Lexridge (shell script can't be uploaded as an attachment).

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#

for ONE_FILE in $(find /usr/src/blackmagic-* -name "Makefile")
do
{
    # DEBUG - uncomment next two lines and comment there next two ones
    #echo "cp -a ${ONE_FILE} ${ONE_FILE}.bak"
    #echo "sed -e 's%\$(KLIB_NAME)\.a%\$(KLIB_NAME)\.o%g' ${ONE_FILE}"
    cp -a "${ONE_FILE}" "${ONE_FILE}.bak"
    sed -i -e "s%\$(KLIB_NAME)\.a%\$(KLIB_NAME)\.o%g" "${ONE_FILE}"
} ; done


for ONE_FILE in $(find /usr/src/blackmagic-* -name "*.a")
do
{
    # DEBUG - uncomment next line and comment its next one
    #echo "cp -a ${ONE_FILE} ${ONE_FILE%.*}.o_shipped"
    cp -a "${ONE_FILE}" "${ONE_FILE%.*}.o_shipped"
} ; done

exit 0


Copy this code to a file, make it executable and launch it in a root console.
Then proceed manually with dkms utility.
For example, here is what worked on Fedora 29 (please adapt these command lines to your distribution):

Code: Select all

dkms add -m blackmagic -v 11.0a18 --rpm_safe_upgrade
dkms add -m blackmagic-io -v 11.0a18 --rpm_safe_upgrade
dkms install --force -m blackmagic -v 11.0a18 --rpm_safe_upgrade
dkms install --force -m blackmagic-io -v 11.0a18 --rpm_safe_upgrade


Hope this help.

I have noticed that once these particular files are renamed, kernel updates will dkms auto-build again on boot. No need to keep applying the "fix" every time your kernel is updated. If you update Desktop Video to a newer version, you will need to apply the fix again, unless BMD fixes the problem at the source.

Hello,

Here is a "quick and dirty" shell script that fixes the makefiles and renames the libraries on Fedora 29, as suggested by Lexridge

Awesome, thanks for helping out here.

Desktop Video 11.1 has been released and issues have been addressed. I can confirm I am up and running on Fedora 29, Kernel 5.0.4-200.

Good to hear! Just in time for NAB too. lol

I believe there is a little bug in the 11.1a11 driver
At least on Intensity Pro 4K hardware
The blackmagic kernel module does not load automatically
Where blackmagic-io kernel module does

Properly due to that the pci id for the Intensity Pro 4K is not in the blackmagic module pci id list
It is in the blackmagic-io module.

You need to manually load the blackmagic module

Seen on Fedora F28 kernel 5.0.(5/6/7)

It seams not that the kernel module blackmagic. is used by Intensity 4K.
Problems was that a previos version of desktopvideo still was in the DKMS system and made problems for blackmagic_io
