Hello there,
I've got a Logitech Quickcam E 3500 and I am running Kubuntu hardy (8.04). The camera works pretty well together with Skype and some other programs. But recently, I tried out some FOSS voip clients and I had some major problems with it. First I thought, this is an issue of the voip programs. But since the error reports seem to be very similar to me, I am starting to wonder, whether it can be a bug in the (ubuntu) uvc driver: * http://trac.qutecom.org/ticket/18 * https://sip-communicator.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=487 The cam doesn't work with camorama either. A friend of mine, who runs Kubuntu (8.10) intrepid, has got the same problems with that camera. Today another friend of mine took that camera, sticked it into his Gentoo machine and captured a video with "mplayer tv://" seamlessly. If I issue this command, I get: > MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team > CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, > Stepping: 11) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 > Compiled with runtime CPU detection. > mplayer: could not connect to socket > mplayer: No such file or directory > Failed to open LIRC support.

(End of file) Do you have an idea, what can be the reason for all of this? I'd appreciate any comment or advice. Thanks in advance.
