My webcam was working well in previous releases of Ubuntu. It also worked well
after installation of 12.04 and I could use it with skype for video chats, but
It doesn't work after I installed VLC. When I open skype options to test the
camera, the camera is recognized but when I click "test" all I get is a blank
screen.
I tried uninstalling vlc from my system but the problem persists.
when I tried the following:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
I got:
libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy
