Pinnacle PCTV nano stick 73e doesn't show up

[anutosho]

Hi,
I have a notebook with Kubuntu Jaunty installed and that Pinnacle stick works out of the box.

Now I#M trying to set up a media server, also with Kubuntu Jaunty.
When I plug in the stick all the drivers and modules seems to load but the Stick doesn't show up in Kaffeine. (The DVB menu item is missing.)
I have no idea where to look for the error.

Any hint will be appretiated.

This is the output of /var/log/messages when the stick is plugged in:

After the stick is plugged in, lsmod | grep dvb shows:
dvb_usb_dib0700 42376 0
dib7000p 25096 2 dvb_usb_dib0700
dib7000m 22916 1 dvb_usb_dib0700

dib3000mc 20488 1 dvb_usb_dib0700
dib0070 15748 2 dvb_usb_dib0700

The device also seems to be there:
# ls -lR /dev/dvb

/dev/dvb:

Strange thing: Even before the stick is plugged in the following modules are already loaded:
dvb_ttpci 107340 0
dvb_core 92032 1 dvb_ttpci
saa7146_vv 55680 1 dvb_ttpci
saa7146 26120 2 dvb_ttpci,saa7146_vv
ttpci_eeprom 10240 1 dvb_ttpci

I don't understand where these modules are good for. My notebook doesn't have these.

Solved: Pinnacle PCTV nano stick 73e doesn't show up

Crazy!
I looked 3 hours for the error, then posted my post here and after that I got the idea :-)
I have to be member of the group video to access the device. The 'ls' in my first post shows it clear.

Thanks for reading :-)
