ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX 640x480

works with cheese, if

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

cheese

but the same trick did not help in case of MicroSoft Teams / Meeting,
what I should use with video, not only with voice.

2020-06-11 Thread Péter Prőhle
I have very similar problem:

ID 046d:08ad Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX 640x480

works with

guvcview

vlc v4l2:///dev/video0

does NOT work with

cheese (not a real problem for me)

MicroSoft Teams / meeting (real problem as distant teaching due
Covid19)

5.4.0-37-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 3 18:57:02 UTC 2020 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64

I did not use this cam before, I tried only now in 20.04 focal edition.

As a reference,

ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. HD Webcam C270 1280x720

works with cheese and MicroSoft Teams as well, not only with guvcview
and vlc.

  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36

  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light
  grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4
  scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content.
  Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the
  start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the
  character terminal forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view
  appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually,
  however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.

  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2)
  the problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.
  (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave
  a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2,
  while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when
  I could escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user
  account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there,
  if the startup is without falling into an account.

  If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the
  3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

  I try to send the remaining information after my work day, now I have to 
leave, sorry.

2015-02-04 Thread Péter Prőhle
Few roadmap questions.

Do I guess correctly, that the appropriate upstream kernel should work,
since the kernel you gave me with the patch from upstream worked, in
early January?

Is there a way to test, how can I test directly an upstream kernel that
it really works in my case?   Or it is more or less trivial, that it
shoul work and it is not worthwhile to test it?  Or the kernel you gave
me is almost exaclty same as an upstream kernel, except for the
necessary customisations for Ubuntu?  In other terms, we tested more or
less an upstream kernel in early January?

15.04 is very close to us, but can I expect, that somewhere in the
summer the kernel patch that helped me WILL appear in an official Ubuntu
kernel upgrade?

Sorry for my elementary questions,
Péter.

  kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

Bug description:
  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36

  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light
  grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4
  scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content.
  Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the
  start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the
  character terminal forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view
  appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually,
  however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.

  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2)
  the problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.
  (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave
  a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2,
  while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when
  I could escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user
  account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there,
  if the startup is without falling into an account.

  If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the
  3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

  I try to send the remaining information after my work day, now I have to

2015-01-08 Thread Péter Prőhle
I have just tried the kernel given in your comment #52:

linux-image-3.16.0-29-generic_3.16.0-29.39~lp1386534v1_amd64.deb

linux-image-extra-3.16.0-29-generic_3.16.0-29.39~lp1386534v1_amd64.deb

It WORKS, ther is NO view crash on X strartup, I use it now for this
report:

Linux pc56 3.16.0-29-generic #39 SMP Thu Jan 8 18:06:26 UTC 2015 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Just to confirm that the rest of my system produces the error with 
3.13.0-37-generic,
I tired that kernel, and the problem is still there.  Hence I deduce that the 
kernel
you provided in comment #52 is responsible for disappearing the problem.

In one clear sentece: 3.16.0-29-generic_3.16.0-29.39~lp1386534v1 works
error-free.

I confirm, thet my commnet #42 is erratic, and the kernel you gave me in 
comment #41
DOES WORK, if I install ALSO the linux-image-extra... package.  I write this 
comment using

Linux pc56 3.16.0-28-generic #38 SMP Mon Dec 15 16:44:02 UTC 2014 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

that kernel in comment #41.  But as soon as I allow the udpate system to 
replace this kernel
by the kernel in the normal 14.10 repository, then that offcial kernel does NOT 
work.
Neither works 3.13.0-37-generic.  But 3.13.0-36-generic works, using the same 
root
partition.

Thanks for your forgiveness for my error,
Peter.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-12-18 Thread Péter Prőhle
Due to your careful question, it turned out, that I have made very serious 
error!

When installing your Utopic test kernel with commit b47f210 reverted

I did not install the linux-image-extra...

I tried to check whether I did same kind of error earlier.

In case of 3.13.0-36-generic, 3.13.0-36-generic and 3.16.0-28-generic,
and in general, if the installation source was an Ubuntu release, then
the extra was there always.

In case of kernel-PPA, following the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds tips ( comment here: #30),
I installed the headers as well, while I did NOT installed the kernel
extra, since there is no such separated stuff.  I tested quite a lot of
kernels.

But, do I see correctly, that a size of greater than 50MB of kernel
binary package means, that that package contains the extras as well?  I
see, when there is a separate extra package, then the normal and extra
package together is slighly larger than the single over 50MB kernel
binary package,  this is why I think that this kind of single package
contains the extras as well.

Then I got 4 different kernels upto diverse commits, but since they are
gone from the URL you gave me, I can not RETEST them, ... while I am
suspicious that I did not install the extras, but may happen that I
installed on the base of why not if it is there, simply I do not
remember.

Now in case of the latest kernel, which is already an Utopic test
kernel with commit b47f210 reverted, I am sure, that I did NOT install
extras.

However this kernel without the extras, --- due to it's revision number
collision with the similar kernel of the normal Ubuntu release, --- is
sensitive to whether the packages of the normal Ubuntu kernels are there
or not.

In my #42 comment: the extras of the normal release kerlen of the same
version number was there, while the extras you provided were NOT
installed, and in this case I get the usual error.

But, if I remove any trace of the normal release kernel, and then I
install your kernel with extras, then IT WORKS, ... actually I write
this comment using your latest kerenel provided me!

I try to prevent this kernel from updating by the automatic updating
system of Ubuntu.

Is installing linux-image-### and linux-image-extra-### enough to get
rid of the other kernel with same version number, or what I have to do
to make a clean install of the kernels you gave me?

In short: 3.13.0-36-generic works, 3.13.0-37-generic has the issue,
official 3.16.0-28-generic also has the issue, but YOUR
3.16.0-28-generic WORKS.

I really excuse myself for my big error and WASTING YOUR TIME, and
naturally I am ready to repeat former tests, if you could provide those
packages again.

This week I prepared to formulate my thanks that regardless of we know
each other you give your time and knowledge, ... and jut in this week I
had to discover my error vasting resources.  I advocate the free
softwares approximately since two and half decades, as a university
staff, so in theory I understand the importance and the meaning of this
global movement, ... but it is very touching to have such an abstract
and at the same time personal experinece, that someone from the mankind
whom I even don't know on which continent is resident, helps.

  kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36

  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light
  grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4
  scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content.
  Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the
  start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the
  character terminal forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view
  appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually,
  however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.

  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2)
  the problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.
  (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave
  a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2,
  while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when
  I could escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-12-15 Thread Péter Prőhle
The kernel you sent me recently, replaced the existing Utopic kernel 3.16.0-28,
if I understood correctly this was a normal behaviour due to the identical
version numbers, ... anyways:

NONE OF the original 3.16.0-28 kernel and the fresh kernel you sent me
works,

I see exactly the same crash view, perhaps in a bit slower performance, say
I have to wait even 2 seconds to see the second phase of the crash, and again
2 seconds for the third phase.  So the timing is a little bit slower, but not
significantly slower.

I made a repeated check with the kernels I tried earlier: the error is
still there,

I try to be careful not to reconfigure my system during the error
discovery weeks.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-12-11 Thread Péter Prőhle
I have just tested the specially prepared 3.13.11-03131106-generic
kernel you gave me,

and the usual error IS THERE.  Using the last few new kernels, the
typical scenario is this:

(1) the correct picture is there for 1 or at most 2 seconds

(2) then the view is wraps around, asif the horisontal synchron
position was at the two-third of the lines

(3) then within additional very fey seconds the screen becomes
white, except for the topmost few scan lines

(4) and again pretty soon, the whole bright area begins to
vibrate between bright white and less bright

And as soon as I boot back into an earlier kernel but using the same
Ubuntu root partition, then the screen is steady, and I can work, e.g.
write this comment.

Many thanks for your help and valuable time,
Peter.

The kernel you prepared me replaced the 3.13.11-03131106-generic kernel
you gave me before.

This new version DOES *NOT* WORK, it shows exactly the same visual and
functional phenomenon, collapse.

Looking forward to the next test,
Péter.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-12-04 Thread Péter Prőhle
The kernel 3.13.11-03131106-generic_3.13.11-03131106.201412021942_amd64
you were kind to build extra for me DOES WORK.

During the installation there was a message: Running depmod.
depmod: ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks major and minor 
information. Ignoring.

To be sure, I checked again, that the kernel 3.13.11-03131107-generic
from ppa does not work.

Title:
  kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36

  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light
  grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4
  scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content.
  Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the
  start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the
  character terminal forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view
  appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually,
  however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.

  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2)
  the problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.
  (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave
  a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2,
  while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when
  I could escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user
  account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there,
  if the startup is without falling into an account.

  If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the
  3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

  I try to send the remaining information after my work day, now I have to 
leave, sorry.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-11-22 Thread Péter Prőhle
(1)

Getting help how to make tests with upstream kernels, I did find the step,
where using NONE of the few kernels BEFORE that point I have NO xorg error,
while using ANY of the few kernels AFTER that point I HAVE xorg error.

before 3.13 upstream 3.12.33-031233-generic has NO error

v3.13.11.6-trusty 13-Aug-2014 and before is OK

v3.13.11.7-trusty 18-Sep-2014 and after has the ERROR

after  3.13 upstream 3.14.25-031425-generic has the ERROR

upstream 3.18.0-031800rc5-generic has the ERROR

Reinstalling a formerly purged NON-upstream Ubuntu kernel, and investigating
the release date of the kernel packages, I could verify, that the critical
kernel change step is exactly at the correspondig point.

3.13.0-36-generic 04-Sep-2014 and before is OK

3.13.0-37-generic 25-Sep-2014 and after has the ERROR

3.16.0-24-generic ... has the ERROR

All of these kernels were tested with the SAME Ubuntu 14.10 systems, and the
only difference between them was that wich kernel is booted.  In case of
Ubuntu 14.04 I had the critical point EXACTLY at this same place.

(2)

Intalling upstream v3.13.11.7-trusty kernel, I catched the folowing
error:

Running depmod.

depmod: ERROR: Module 'hci_vhci' has devname (vhci) but lacks
major and minor information. Ignoring.

update-initramfs: deferring update (hook will be called later)

(3)

Trying out two dozens of different kernels, now I can give a bit better
description of the nature of the graphic error depending on kernel version.

3/a: except for few cases, the keyboard shortcuts work, they can invoke
programs assigned to them, ... naturally I can not use them, because I can
not see them.

3/b: almost alway the option to go Ctrl-Alt-F1 and apply Ctrl-Alt-Del is
alive, while almost never can I read anything even on the caracter terminal,
... except for the case, if the crash of the graphic view arrives a bit (few
seconds) later, and I have a narrow time slot to escape to the character
consoles.

3/c: if the crash is later, then it is exactly when I first move the
mouse.

3/d: I left the most important experinece to the end:

the graphical view crash has four different states, the middle two of them
are new views for me, due to the new kernels I tried out:

-1- as if an oldtimer CRT was not able to correctly position the
horisontal sync, and hence the picture is horisontally rotated, and
this state is different from all the other erratic state in that I
can invoke and use graphical programs, hard to use, because of the
rotation: going rightward out I arrive and enter at the left edge

-2- as if an oldtimer CRT can not catch at all an inappropriate
horisontal sync, far beyond its frequency limit

-3- the essentially almost homogenous white view is patched of
very small very intesively blinking regions

-4- at the top a very few lines reflect the original content of the top
unity line, but the rest is white and STILL, no blinking, ... let us
mention, that my background is white, but NOTHING can occur in this
area, this is a dead white area

Originally an immediate or soon -4-, and immediate or soon -1- soon -4- were
the typical scenarios.

Trying out additional kernels, the additional possibilities are: inmediate
or soon -3-, and immediate or soon -1- soon -2- soon -3-.

Perhaps I should draw a state transition picture.

Thanks for the help,
Peter.

Title:
  kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36

  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light
  grey, this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4
  scan lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content.
  Sometimes there is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the
  start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2 works, and swithing there one can work in the
  character terminal forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view
  appears, even the Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually,
  however a blindly stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.

  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2)
  the problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

2014-11-20 Thread Péter Prőhle
Yes, actuall that was the way, how I used my main computer when 14.04 was in 
use:

namely I had the both of 3.13.0-37-generic and 3.13.0-36-generic there
in 14.04, and I made my daily work using 3.13.0-36-generic, and
sometimes booting into 3.13.0-37-generic  I checked whether the problem
went away due to a lucky update of an X-related package.

Now I have 14.10 and I have 3.16.0-24-generic showing the same error and
3.13.0-36-generic what I can use on daily base, and whenever an update
occures, I try out whether it swiped away the problem.

I would be very happy to perform a kernel bisect.

Could you tell me, how to RE-install 3.13.0-37-generic ONTO 14.10,
because I did not know about the kernel bisect possibility, and I simply
purged this kernel version.

I think, that 3.13.0-37-generic will show the problem using 14.10 as
well, since the later 3.16.0-23-generic and 3.16.0-24-generic also shows
the SAME problem.

Thanks,
Peter.

  (3) In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave
  a 1-3 seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2,
  while in case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when
  I could escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user
  account directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there,
  if the startup is without falling into an account.

  If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the
  3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.

  I try to send the remaining information after my work day, now I have to 
leave, sorry.
