I have installed latest version available 3.15-0-031500-generic and result is not convincing.
First time I launched guvcview, nothing happened as usual, no video window and no camera working. Program closed I then launched Skype which did exactly the same apart of the camera led which was "on" this time but no video working. When I quit Skype, the led shut down then shortly blinked after ca. 15 sec. Back to guvcview, the camera worked straight away. So, I closed it and started Skype and video did not work. When I quit and open Skype again, it does not work anymore neither with guvcview. Back to Skype, the LED is "on" but no video... (on /dev/video0). I quit Skype, restart it and this time no video and no LED... Reboot-----> Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit Guvcview = no video nor LED --> Quit Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options) Guvcview = video fully working -->Quit Skype = no video nor LED.... --> Quit Guvcview = the same --> Quit Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options) Guvcview = video working --> Quit Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit Guvcview = video working --> Quit Skype = LED but no video --> Quit (LED blink when closing video options) Skype = no video nor LED --> Quit So it looks too random for a normal human to use the webcam! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325412 Title: 046d:0896 [Acer Aspire 5630] Orbicam not working on Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1325412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
