Please consider adding a Depends, the connection from ekiga to this package is not obvious! Depends is exactly what we don't want.

Derek Wueppelmann wrote on Tue, 02 Jan 2007: I am also having the same issue with this package. If you use v4l instead of v4l2 it will detect the device correctly and work. However v4l2 does not work and it does give an error.. I'm currently facing the same problem, but with v4l and v4l2 swapped: I have a uvcvideo (i.e. v4l2-only) webcam. ekiga 2.0.3-6+b1 in testing recognizes it correctly. In the configuration druid, it only offers me a V4L2 entry for the Video Manager step. However, ekiga 2.0.11-2 in unstable only offers V4L, not V4L2. When clicking on test settings one screen later, or when restarting ekiga after the druid is finished, I always get an error message that opening /dev/video0 failed. It looks a bit as if the v4l_2_ support is gone..? BTW, I am running the unstable version in my unstable chroot. But that shouldn't be a problem... I can access the webcam fine using luvcview both under testing and unstable, as /dev is bind-mounted to the chroot's /dev.

Bug#401302: ekiga: Ekiga cannot find webcam
Package: ekiga Version: 2.0.3-2 Severity: normal Hi When I try ekiga it complains it cannot manage to open the /web/cam on /dev/video0. However, both camstream and xawtv manage to open it and show video from the camera. I also have checked with chmod 666 /dev/video0 and running ekiga as root, but it still cannot manage to connect to the camera. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Versions of packages ekiga depends on: ii evolution-data-server 1.6.3-2 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.16.0-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-01.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.15-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.15-2 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.15-2 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-3 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libebook1.2-5 1.6.3-2 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2-71.6.3-2 Utility library for evolution data ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libgcc11:4.1.1-20GCC support library ii libgconf2-42.16.0-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.6.0-2 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-02.16.0-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-3 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-02.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice61:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libopal-2.2.0 2.2.3.dfsg-2 Open Phone Abstraction Library - s ii liborbit2 1:2.14.3-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libpt-1.10.0 1.10.2-2 Portable Windows Library ii libpt-plugins-alsa 1.10.2-2 Portable Windows Library Audio Plu ii libpt-plugins-v4l2 1.10.2-2 Portable Windows Library Video Plu ii libsdl1.2debian1.2.11-7 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-20 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor11.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml22.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender11:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii yelp 2.14.3-1 Help browser for GNOME 2 ekiga recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
