2020-12-24 Thread Ashley Dixon
How's it going dudes? I bought a Logitech C270 webcam from Argos about a year ago, which, according to the LKDDb [1] and U.V.C. driver website [2], should work well on Linux. Despite working flawlessly until recently, some strange behaviour has appeared. When I connect the webcam, `dmesg` regist

2020-12-24 Thread François-Xavier Carton
Hi, I have build failures for various gnome libraries. The errors happen when compiling the 32 bits versions, and seems to be due to "-m32" not being used for the C compiler. The errors are either the linker complaining about architecture mismatch, or glib static assertion errors about pointer siz
