And here's what I promised from my side from my girlfriend's desktop. I will attach the output of lspci -vvv, dmesg output when the webcam is attached, and dmesg when attempting to use the cam.
I will include lsusb output for the webcam here inline: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:08f5 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messenger Communicate and this is the message produced by *any* program trying to use the webcam, always from l4v: libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error This is all on an x86_64 machine running Ubuntu Linux 10.4.1 with KDE, on a quad-core AMD processor with an nVidia MCP61 based chipset. ** Attachment added: "Output of lspci -vvv" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/22070/+attachment/1676973/+files/lspci_vvv -- Logitech Quickcam Messenger is not usable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/22070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
