I just found out about this, wanting to urgently use my webcam. GRRRR. In camorama, the "small" size works (i.e. a picture, not grey). After applying the above script (thanks a lot!) I found that the script is dependent on the kernel version for the cp part. I suggest this:
apt-get install module-assistant dh-make m-a prepare m-a a-i pwc newpwc=$(dpkg -L $(dpkg -l|awk '/pwc-modules/ {print $2}')|grep pwc.ko) cp "$newpwc" "$(dirname $(dirname $(dirname $newpwc)))/media/video/pwc/pwc.ko" rmmod pwc modprobe pwc Works! too bad for the 7GB disk space thrown away for the kernel source just to compile the tiny driver. -- Regression: Webcams using pwc driver produce all-grey images https://launchpad.net/bugs/56090 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
