[needs-packaging] Ricoh
I tried it with Ubuntu 12.04 on my Vaio VGN-FE48M: I checked that the camera is
working properly by using the video option menù of Skype but the computer
freezes after a few minutes of test. Here is the result of uname --all:

I have a 05ca:18b5 Ricoh Co., Ltd webcam, on a Sony Vaio laptop, and used to
need to install the package to make it work.
Under Natty, things seems to work out of the box.
So, is this tool slowly becoming obsolete, or am I missing something ?

Hi there,
I just walk someone through the installation of this ppa, good work by
the way, and a tiny problem rose up.
It seems that bitbucket changed its archive structure and that triggered
a bug in /usr/share/r5u87x/r5u87x-download-firmware.sh

lsmod:

Yeah, sounds like the module isn't getting inserted into the kernel again,
which is, well, very odd by itself, heh.
However, the loader reports an error if it gets a non-zero return code when it
reloads uvcvideo, so if it failed or didn't exist it would bail. We shall soon
see, I guess.

Pretty sure the issue you're seeing is because of a udev attribute we
