I'm afraid that machine now lives its busy life as ubuntu 12.04 so I can't reproduce it very easily. Though, if I can get a couple of hours access to the h/w again, I can probably give it a try. But, since I do have limited access to the machine, it would be useful if perhaps you could email

Package: general Severity: important I just installed a fresh Debian 6.0, and got the problem that video doesn't show, specifically in skype (neither preview nor call) and cheese (preview). The webcam appears to work fine, since it shows up at the remote end on skype call (but I see nothing

Well, as far as I can see it's a problem with the X server software rather than anything else, or the particular collection of packages I got on that installation. It happens with both cheese and skype, which are the things I've tried, while guvcview fails to run completely, with the note

I'm afraid I have tried this; I have libv4l-0 installed, and tried the LD_PRELOAD variants as well. No luck :-( The point is that it does work fine when displaying on another host via ssh with X11 forwarding (though skype needs LD_PRELOAD). (Possibly plain remote X11 as well, but I don't have

The problem in cheese is that the preview display is black. It does snap from the webcam but the preview screen remains black. But, if I run cheese with X11 redirection to another server, then the preview display on it is not black. That's how it relates to cheese. I don't know anything about
