If you are having problems claiming the device, try blacklisting the kernel drivers:

echo -e 'blacklist rtl2832\nblacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu\nblacklist rtl8192cu\nblacklist rtl8xxxu\n' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rtl-sdr2.conf
sudo reboot

They are only used for terrestrial digital television viewing which you are probably not interested in.
