Just for the sake of correctness, luvcview didn't crash, but exited with a 
fatal error.

v4l2 isn't something you install, it's an API, part of the Linux kernel. The 
error message means that luvcview tried to initialise a v4l2 device and 
failed.

The kernel log (available through the dmesg command) should report additional 
information regarding the error. Please send us a copy.
