Detection Trouble in Jaunty Solved in Karmic?

Jan 21: Using KWorld is tough. First, we tried to use it inside WinXP (duh) just to make sure the card is not broken. After installing the software needed to make it running, yep, the device works nicely in WinXP (though the reception is quite blurry).

So, we decided to try it with Jaunty. Plugged it in and type

$ lsusb

Generating this output.

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 04b3:310c IBM Corp. Wheel Mouse

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04b3:3025 IBM Corp.

Then we tried following the instructions that we got from this site:
Still, no sign of the card is detected by our system. So, we decided to install a package to test whether the card is really detected by this PC.

So we installed kaffeine

$ sudo apt-get install kaffeine libxine1 libxine1-all-plugins phonon-backend-xine

Finished installing, there is still no sign of a capture card is detected. So, my friend suggested that we switched to Karmic. Not willing to take the chance we tried that on his Karmic. At least, it shows a promising sign we we plugged it in. Kaffeine also has a 'Digital TV' button compared to when we used Jaunty, there are no 'Digital TV' button at all.




















* Note the 'Digital TV' button in circle

So we installed Karmic with the hope that it'll automatically detects the device.

Hopefully..
