OK, you're right. So this is a regression introduced by 2.6.27 kernel. Thanks for your input
Can you provide as separate attachments this files: uname -a > uname-a.log cat /proc/version_signature > version.log dmesg > dmesg.log sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 260918 needed: libv4l and associated application patches (or "gspca stopped working in 2.6.27") ** Description changed: + + == Regression details == + Discovered in version: linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic + Last known good version: linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic + + I have a Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam GSPCA-driver: gspca_zc3xx the camera is detected when the zc0301 driver is loaded, but only with v4l2 and thus only with ekiga. (no v4l support here) In Hardy 8.04 I just blacklisted zc0301 and gspca took over the cam automatically and cam worked flawlessly. Since 8.10 the cam is not detected after removing zc0301 anymore. Dmesg only gives me: [29143.996060] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 [29144.197121] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice I think it is connected with the kernel 2.6.27, and I have found a similar bug at bugzilla.kernel.org: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11920 I was able to compile the newest version of gspca using these instructions: http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca_README.txt Still after installing the new drivers the camera is not detected. Thus I don't think that the gspca driver that comes with ubuntu is causing the problem. I believe it is something with the kernel itself, or the way gspca and v4l are built into the kernel, but as I don't really know how the linux kernel and driver function I don't know what could be wrong. ** Tags added: regression-2.6.27 regression-release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Webcam (gspca) is not detected anymore since ubuntu 8.10 and Kernel 2.6.27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293259 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
