[Bug 352765] Re: webcam and v4l2
Sorry, the upstream bug was closed because it's a problem of applications not supporting v4l2 yet. On the other hand it could be fixed introducing a sort of external GSPCA as it was in Hardy, waiting for applications like cheese, camorama etc. implementing v4l2 (avoiding the regression). ** Changed in: linux Importance: Unknown = Undecided ** Changed in: linux Status: Unknown = New ** Changed in: linux Remote watch: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #11741 = None ** Changed in: linux Importance: Undecided = Unknown ** Changed in: linux Status: New = Unknown ** Changed in: linux Remote watch: None = Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #11741 ** Changed in: linux Importance: Unknown = Undecided ** Changed in: linux Status: Unknown = New ** Changed in: linux Remote watch: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #11741 = None ** Changed in: linux Status: New = Invalid ** Summary changed: - webcam and v4l2 + Logitech webcam doesn't work (v4l2 support needed) ** Also affects: cheese (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: camorama (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Logitech webcam doesn't work (v4l2 support needed) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
RE: [Bug 352765] Re: webcam and v4l2
Thank you very much, I've installed the library and run the command, and the webcam works in aMSN. Yet camorama Cheese and does not work, but at least I do use it I'm perfect.

The core of the problem is that gspca drivers in 8.10 apparently implement V4L2, while many applications are still using V4L1 protocol. See http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html . Diagnostics: install camstream start camstream, open trace window, and start camera. Expect to see messages like: VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument) How to workaround this (see also https://lists.linux- foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-janitors/2008-October/011912.html): 1. Download and unpack http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.0.tar.gz 2. See README, and install: sudo make install 3. Open terminal window 4. $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so 5. $ camstream Start camera, should now work. How to make skype work: 1. create new shell script (call it skype_wrapper), put it somehwere (e.g. /usr/local/bin/skype_wrapper). Content: #!/bin/bash export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype 2. Open System/Root Menu manager, locate Skype, Edit the shortcut replacing command skype = /usr/local/bin/skype_wrapper. 3. Start skype (restart, if already running). Test video should now work. Guys, if anyone knows how to **really** fix it (not going thru the pain in the @$$ above), please let me know. Credit for the solution should go to http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html .
