I'm sorry I totally forgot about this. I have installed cheese on an Intrepid Ibex (fresh install, keeping my /home/), and cheese says it doesn't detect any webcams. I haven't tried to do Joori's trick again, though. Anyway, it should work out of the box, right? Here's the relevant output.

I've just tried it. The cam seems to be recognized, but when I try to use it in Ekiga, all I get is a flickering pink/green screen. I've tried CamStream, and I discovered that I could actually see a pink/green semblance of myself if I set it to CIF (352x288). It isn't very clear what I mean, so here's the snapshot : http://www.daluzduque.be/stuff/snapshot-20080718.png While it could be used to converse with green aliens, most of the people I want to videoconference with don't look that green (even when they're very sick). And for the record, it is a WHITE t-shirt. ;-) Any ideas about what could cause this? -- Creative Labs Webcam Plus (Model PD0040) doesn't work out of the box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 37739] Re: Creative Labs Webcam Plus (Model PD0040) doesn't work out of the box
After months of endless googling and compiling without much success i have finally got my ov51x camera to work in ubuntu gutsy! For the record, it's a Creative Video Blaster Webcam (PD0040). I couldn't get it to run in feisty before i upgraded to gutsy so i don't know if it will work on feisty the same as it does in gutsy but i suppose you could give it a try? I don't know exactly why it worked this time seeing as i did EXACTLY what rastageeks website suggested. No luck in loading the camera despite it being picked up but always getting 'Failed to open device: /dev/video0' on any application that i try to load the webcam with. Both 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' showed the camera and relevant modules loaded but i would always get a 'No decompressor" error in 'dmesg' This time tho, after following http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x- jpeg/index.php/Ov51xJpegHackedInstall for the umpteenth time I have now got the bloody thing to work and am able to see my camera and the images it's capturing through almost any application. This is what i did. (note this is the same as what is listed on the rastageeks.org website) 1) sudo rmmod ov511 2) cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/media 3) sudo rm -rf ov511/ 4) wget http://www.rastageeks.org/downloads/debian/source/ov51x- jpeg_1.5.2.orig.tar.gz 5) mkdir ov511 (i made this directory in my /home/joori dir) 6) extract ov51x-jpeg_1.5.2.orig.tar.gz into newly created ov511 directory 7) cd ov511/ 8) make 9) su - 10) make install The only thing i didn't do was 'modprobe ov51x-jpeg' and 'modprobe videodev' and 'insmod ./ov51x-jpeg.ko' as i did not need to do this once the driver finished compiling. After this, i fired up camstream and hey presto! i can now see my device in the drop down menu and upon selecting, it started to work. Previously i would just get an empty grey window open and no camera listed in the 'Devices' drop down menu or it would just bug out and say 'Failed to open device: /dev/video0' Xawtv still doesn't like the camera/driver but who cares really, everything else works :) Here is my 'lsmod' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID : Bus 003 Device 003: ID 05a9:0518 OmniVision Technologies, Inc.

As you can see this is now gone and the driver is working perfectly! I tried running the camera on amsn but i just get a bunch of multicoloured green and pink imagery and no viable image can be seen. It doesn't really worry me as im absolutely stoked that i got it to run in the first place. What was strange to me was that when running VMWare Workstation 6 and powering on my Windows XP SP2 OEM Virtual Machine, I could use the camera no dramas. It was picked up by vmtools and installed via the original driver cd i have for the camera. Windows Live Messenger picked up the camera and it worked no dramas.. Camfrog did the same. Everything within the virtual machine seemed to pick up the camera so it was really bugging me why ubuntu applications couldn't locally pick it up. Anyway, I hope this helps those who still can't get their cameras to work! -- Creative Labs Webcam Plus (Model PD0040) doesn't work out of the box https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
