[Logcheck-devel] Bug#444094: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/kernel: bttv PLL ignore rules

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.62
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.workstation/kernel

The bttv kernel module (used for those Hauppauge TV tuner cards) has a
tendency to issue these two messages when starting xawtv for the first
time, or when running it again as a different user (or under a different
X session, I'm not sure which is the trigger):

  ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: bttv[[:digit:]]+: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 \.\. ok$
  ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ kernel: bttv[[:digit:]]+: PLL can sleep, using XTAL \(28636363\)\.$


I'm honestly not sure what they mean, but they show up often enough when
googling for bttv logs, so I think it's safe to assume they are
perfectly normal.  (I can query the V4L mailing-list about this if you
wish.)

And yes, these seemingly random numbers are always the same for me and
anybody else.  Go figure.
