Also happens here. The errno when opening the frontend is EAGAIN. Waiting a few seconds and trying to switch the channel again fixes it for me (until the next channel switch). Other dvb-apps (scan, w_scan and vlc) are working fine for me. udev 185 latest kaffeine from git kernel 3.4.4
I'm copying here what one of our Gentoo users posted: Bernd Raschke 2013-01-26 14:45:26 CET Had the same bug, fought like hell with my kernel, udev and the usb-stick. Turns out, the problem is neither, but Kaffeine. For some reason after scanning for dvb-Adapters it suddenly decides to open dvb/adapter0/frontend0. So $ cd /dev $ kaffeine - works and $ cd $ ln -s /dev $ kaffeine - works too. I suspect kaffeine for some reasons cuts off the mount point which didn't exist before i upgraded udev (at least i guess).
This bug is too old, for a version < 1.3. Closing it, as the latest version is 2.0.1, and lots of things changed since version 1.2.x, including the usage of VLC as video display backend, support for DVB-T2 and ISDB-T via libVLC, etc. You may check on the upstream version and see if the bug was solved. The README file contains instructions about how to compile it. You can find it at our git repository: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kaffeine.git If you find similar issues with version 2.0.1, please re-open.
