If you want a version of the qc-usb module, which builds on hardy, use the version from the ubuntu/media/quickcam directory of http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24_2.6.24-19.28.tar.gz Then copy the Makefile from the normal archive downloaded from the website over to this directory, apply the patch and run "make quickcam.ko", thats how I created the module. (Well I also added some defines, because otherwise it wouldn't build on a 2.6.26 kernel)
And from the cheese faq: "My Quickcam Express (qc-usb driver) doesn't work with Cheese (or gstreamer), and I see errors like "Not enough buffers. We got 1, we want at least 2" in the Cheese output. Try running qcset /dev/video0 compat=dblbuf to enable double buffer compatibility mode, then restarting Cheese. " (qcset is part of qc-usb-utils) After doing this I got the cam working with cheese, now the question remains, why it worked without this before. I also had this double-buffering issue when running a gstreamer-testpipeline: gst-launch-0.10 v4lsrc autoprobe-fps=false device=/dev/video0 !\ "video/x-raw-yuv, format=(fourcc)YUY2, width=360, height=296, framerate=(fraction)15/2" ! ffmpegcolorspace !\ ximagesink So it happens without hal being involved, too. However this pipeline used to work for me before, thats why I thought it might have been some changes in gstreamer in intrepid. -- hal does not detect Quickcam Express as v4l-device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196811 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
