Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Bugfix Solution:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=151600&pid=1294123#pid1294123

sudo apt-get install crystalhd-dkms gstreamer0.10-crystalhd firmware-crystalhd libcrystalhd-dev libcrystalhd3

Setting up crystalhd-dkms will fail giving you this error:

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel:

It is due to a current bug in ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1016976

To fix:

sudo nano /usr/src/crystalhd-0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19/driver/linux/crystalhd_misc.h

Go down to line 38, it should say:

#include <asm/system.h>

Comment it out by adding // to the front of the line so it says:

// #include <asm/system.h>

Hit control-x, then yes to save.

type: sudo nano /usr/src/crystalhd-0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19/driver/linux/crystalhd_lnx.h

Then go down 48 lines to:

#include <asm/system.h>

Do the same, adding two / like so:

// #include <asm/system.h>

Control-X, then Yes to save.

Then run:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure crystalhd-dkms

It will reconfigure crystalhd-dkms and build the kernel module.
