I don't want to be a nag, but I've just seen the same bug on an 2920 Acer Aspire laptop. Here's what I've done:
1. Please don't try to compile from source UNLESS you know what you're > doing, OR you're willing to look for support at the mentioned forum > thread. Ok. The user has tried that already, and it didn't work. > 2. If you enable proposed repo, at this time the kernel -11 would be > installed. This kernel ALREADY include the patches needed to make the > webcams affected by this issue work. > Proposed repos enabled and kernel updated. Still no go. > > 3. If you're experiencing slowness in cheese you can install the libv4l > 0.5.7 package from Loic's PPA while the SRU is being approved. > Installed libv4l-0 version 0.5.7.1~dooz1. I don't know if this is the right version (if it isn't, please tell me how to install it). Still no go, anyway. Chese was working flawlessly in 8.04. What should we do, now? -- cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290506 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
