I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and after installing all the latest security and recommended updates, I'm having problems with the rtlsdr library relating to rtlsdr_cancel_async. For example:
rtl_sdr -f 739000000 -n 1000000 cap.dat
The above will successfully capture exactly 1M samples into cap.dat, but it will not exit after the capture is finished. I have to break out with ctrl-c.
Anybody having similar problems? Hoping I don't have to re-install Ubuntu... :(

Hmm... So I just re-installed Ubuntu 12.04 from scratch and am still having the same problem... Are you using the 64 or 32 bit version of Ubuntu? I'm using 64 bits.

Just a FYI, I went to 32 bit Ubuntu and now I can terminate captures just fine.
