Hi, Just get the mercurial version with: hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/
then disable fireDTV and floppyDTV with: sudo make menuconfig it's under Multimedia support/DVB ATSC adapters - save the configuration when exiting menuconfig (ubuntu kernel headers package is missing some includes needed to compile fireDTV) then try: make sudo make install sudo make unload sudo modprobe uvcvideo to recompile against a new kernel, remember to use: make distclean before any of the above.
