Mike, Thanks for the response. I think you are onto something: gandalf ~ # slocate ivtv-detect /usr/bin/ivtv-detect /usr/local/bin/ivtv-detect /home/mark/IVTV/ivtv-0.3.7d/utils/ivtv-detect.c /home/mark/IVTV/ivtv-0.3.7d/utils/ivtv-detect gandalf ~ # ls -al /usr/bin/ivtv-detect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7000 Nov 25 10:34 /usr/bin/ivtv-detect gandalf ~ # ls -al /usr/local/bin/ivtv-detect -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11312 Aug 14 14:15 /usr/local/bin/ivtv-detect gandalf ~ # At some earlier date the machine was running ivtv-0.3.7 from source. With the kernel update I started using ivtv-0.4.0 from portage. This was installed at Thanksgiving. It looks like the source install placed things in /usr/local/bin while portage placed it in /usr/bin. While I cannot yet be 100% sure this is the problem, it's certainly badly configured and needs to be fixed. Thanks!
