The webcam is ~10y old .. any hints where this may come from / how to

Thanks Mike. The thread you point to, gives however, little information
on my problem:  the described procedure (first start call, then connect)
does indeed work for jitsi and the laptop built-in camera (sometimes
even requiring a sys-usb reboot between two sessions), but the procedure
does not work for my external USB webcam.  I planned to "abuse" from
this for its small size to have a look into some very narrow spaces in
my house, behind a drywall:).
Anyways, this timeout message is new to me and does not seem to have an
answer. By the way: the webcam runs smoothly in a std non-qubes debian
10. By which I conclude that it is not the camera itself that is buggy.
Rather something qubes-specific seems to mess.          Cheers, Bernhard


There is a known problem with Linux usbip not handling reset properly I
believe.  I don't think it's a Qubes problem.

I use a usb connected camera, and that thread helped me get it working
with some programs.  But I still have to disconnect and reconnect the
camera to make a second video connection.  Sometimes it takes a
number of disconnects, pauses and reconnects before it works.  Along
with the occasional "attach timeout" problems from qubes.  And some
programs just don't work no matter what I try.

Mike.
