Hi!
I upgraded rather old VDR system (Ubuntu 11.10 -> 16.04) and everyhting seems to work, excepth EPG data is not shown at all. On channel info box or in schedule there is nothing. EPG data is collected correctly. I removed file, it was re-created, with ok looking data. On log there is:
May 1 09:24:51 vdr vdr: [2963] epg data writer thread started (pid=1084, tid=2963, prio=low) May 1 09:24:51 vdr vdr: [2963] epg data writer thread ended (pid=1084, tid=2963)
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, vdr is 2.2.0-5build1
Any suggestions?

Actually, EPG data is not collected correctly.
Some channels don't get any EPG data. Some of the channels appera in channel list twice, and one entry shows program, but other entry gets EPG data. I have set updating of channels to value 'new transponders' Tried to re-generate channels.conf also, ending up to same situation.
One confusign thing is setting 'primary dvb adapter'. I have 2 DVB cards, and menu provides values 1-3 for primary card. Selecting 1 or 2 results no program shown, setting to value 3 works, but with verbose, i get error logged: 'no primary device found - using first device'
Really confusing, and now I don't really know what next.

Please post an example of the channels that appear twice.

I assume the third device is your output device (softhddevice?).

This shows program:
FOX;Fox International Channels Oy:658000000:B8C23D23G8M64S0T8Y0:T:0:520=2:620=fin@4:0:0:529:8438:8193:0
And this gets EPG:
FOX;Fox International Channels Oy:674000000:B8C23D23G8M64S0T8Y0:T:0:0:0:0:0:529:8438:12289:0

Ok, that makes more sense :-)

Great, that works! I suppose I can fix others same way.
Now there is channels which are only once in list,and don't get EPG at all, like:
Yle TV1;YLE:578000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:512=2:650=eng@3,652=dut@3:5000;1027=fin:0:17:0:0:0
How to fix them? And sure, any Idea how I've ended to this situation :-o

You are missing NID and TID for the channel (third and second last numbers on the line).
You can find all the IDs from Digita website: http://www.digita.fi/kuluttajille/tv/tv_ohjeet_ja_tietopankki/kanavien_pid-a...
So you could try: TV1;YLE:578000:I999B8C999D999M999T999G999Y999:T:27500:512=2:650=eng@3,652=dut@3:5000;1027=fin:0:17:8438:4097:0

You need to fill in the proper values for NID and TID (the third and second value from the end).

Where did you obtain your channels.conf from?

With command: scan -o vdr /usr/share/dvb/dvb-legacy/dvb-t/fi-Tampere
Then vdr added more (duplicates?).

When you start VDR with the channels.conf you got from 'scan', and have "Update channels" set to 0, do all of these channels work and get EPG?

Maybe you should try some more modern utility instead of scan, like w_scan? I think scan has been obsolete for years and is for VDR 1.0 or 1.2 :)

Ok, did not know that. scan did conf, and channels showed up, so it was not first suspect.
1) w_scan without initial data, 17 channels
2) w_scan -f t -c FI -I /usr/share/dvb/dvb-legacy/dvb-t/fi-Tampere 26 channels, for example that FOX missing
3) Added slowest tuning timeout, 16 channels
4) Try another card, slowest timeout, 10 channels
Ok, looks like this ain't that trivial. But I'll try to put that 26 channel conf, added with that working FOX line, and leave channel updating on.

Ok, those channels found with w_scan are ok, and that FOX line Klaus formed is also ok. Now, putting VDR to update channels will break some of the channels.
So, I need to check manually is there some relevant channels missing.

Unfortunately you can't use 'Add new transponders' setting in Finland. (Except in Espoo area) Digita is not sending regional NIT data in their DVB streams. That's why you get duplicate channels in channels.conf.
For some reason (Laziness..?) Digita is sendng Espoo's transponder information in NIT data and if your regional transponders differs from those, you get duplicates/not working channels in vdr.
I have mixed DVB-T/DVB-S system, so i patched vdr to ignore NIT data from DVB-T so i could still use 'Add new transponders' in DVB-S

But is some other level of update ok? What about 'add new channels'?

Hallo,
quite often I encounter the following problem: when I want to record a broadcast spontaneously of which the beginning is e. g. 10 minutes ahead, Ubuntu (Xubuntu 14.04) sometimes starts fdisk for my recordings-partition which is about 900 MB large. This takes such a long time, about 20 minutes, that I miss the beginning of the film I want to record. At first I get the message " /dev/sda5 was mounted 20 times without being checked. Check forced ..." or so. Unfortunatedly, there is no warning that fisk is to be run the next time I boot. In /etc/fstab I marked "dump 0" and "pass 2" as it is recommanded. Is it possible to have fsck running AFTER recording before shutdown when 19 mountings have been done? Or have I to set "pass" on 0. I'm a little bit scared of this because it means that I could loose data resp. recordings. By the way, on my desktop-computer I set pass to 2 as well, but never fsck runs when I boot even more then 20 times. Here the large (1 TB) /home/-partition is ext4-filesystem. May this make the difference?
Thanks for your answers.
