[Bug 811604] Re: uvcdynctrl spams uvcdynctrl-udev.log and fills up filesystem

2022-03-22 Thread January
I run into this problem myself. System completely frozen, took me a
while to figure that out. Also, the cam was not working properly even
before filling up the system with useless warnings. I can't believe that
after more than ten years the problem still persists.

The solution is to apt-get remove uvcdynctrl uvcdynctrl-data libcamweb0

file if from Fri Dec  4 21:01:36 CET 2015. This file should be added to
the logrotate list as suggested by James Mitchell (jmit) on 2016-10-19.

After doing a regular apt-get upgrade on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS about 5
days ago.I finely fixed my laptop that has the beast tribal boot system
with windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and Kubuntu 18.04 that Ive had in the last
30 years .The uvcdyncrtl lib after filling up my /ver partition caused
the primary super-block to be damaged on my /dev/sda8 partasion. There
for I go and boot into my old trusty Kubuntu 18.04 and do just a simple
apt-get update and bam It freezes up too. Booted into Windows 10 and its
sill working thank about that for a minuet or two LOL. I had to use the
drive's backup super-block to get things back booting, then deleted
/var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log file and set the debug=1 to "0". Here some
good documentation on how to fix the super-block in case if someone else
has the same problems. https://www.linuxbabe.com/desktop-linux/fix-cant-
read-superblock-error They really need to fix this instead of us just
working around it.

My system also stops working a while after connecting a webcam.

As this problem only shows up on some system, I found purging the packet 
"uvcdynctrl" solves the problem for me. 
Up to now I see no side effects, as the webcam anyway seams to be unsupported 
by uvcdynctrl. The camera works in both cases.

Same issue here. Problem appeared after upgrading to 20.10 (a couple of
weeks ago). Didn't realize about it until I couldn't initiate X session
(there was no space in root folder for the temporary files and got an
error message).

Deleting the file solves the "main issue" and I'm able to log in again
but the file keeps growing a couple of Gb every day and it has to be
deleted from time to time (which is not difficult but definitely is
quite annoying).

What the heck? I woke up to a 9GB+ logfile (/var/log/uvcdynctrl-

I'm thinking we should pipe that logfile to post in this thread and see

2017-05-01 Thread David
Here's a quick and dirty workaround: after you delete the uvcdynctrl-
udev.log file, create a symbolic link to /dev/null so that new text is
thrown out.

sudo ln -s /dev/null /var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log

I haven't experienced the high CPU usage that others have reported, so I
don't know if this has any effect on that or not.

I think what is really needed is to have the logfile added to the
logrotate list, so it is kept under control.

I added this file to /etc/logrotate.d/

Same problem on a HP 250 G3: /var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log grew to 9,8G
and filled the / partition completely. The graphical desktop environment
wouldn’t start any more.

Workaround: I deleted /var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log and removed the
package libwebcam0, thus removing it’s dependency uvcdynctrl.

I would appreciate a real fix for this since it rendered my computer
useless until I found this solution. Thanks.

I am using an old Toshiba laptop. And the webcam had been playing up and
now no longer works ( even after taking the laptop apart and checking
the connection. I found a 347GB log file also, which now has been
deleted.

tail -n 500 /var/log/uvcdynctrl-udev.log

[libwebcam] Warning: The driver behind device video0 has a slightly buggy 
implementation
  of the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag. It does not return the next higher
  control ID if a control query fails. A workaround has been enabled.


QUESTION; Is there a fix for this and will it continue? Do I have to Delete the 
file ( /lib/udev/uvcdyncrtl ) that is propagating this log file?
Any ideas?

I'm trying to follow this solution here:

 The Webcam Library libwebcam is designed to simplify
 the development of webcam applications, primarily on Linux but
 with an option to be ported to other platforms, in particular
 Solaris. It realizes part of what the unwritten Video4Linux user
 space library was always supposed to be: an easy to use library
 that shields its users from many of the difficulties and problems
 of using the V4L2 API directly.

I had the same issue, I was running out of disk space and was unable to race 
the write process.
This is a serious bug, please fix it.

uvcdynctrl-udev.log has grown to 50G which is a respectable amount on my
SSD.

Is there a workaround meanwhile to deny a process writing to that file?
Maybe chmod 000  on /var/uvcdynctrl-udev.log ?

Folks, I am glad i found this bug post.
I am running Ubuntu 12.04.1 and never had this problem, but oh surprise. after 
installing Kernel 3.8.0-RC1, this started occuring. it does NOT occur for ME 
with Kernel 3.7.1
Let me preface this by saying that i KNOW that newer and non-released kernels 
are not supported, but i wanted to share with you all because it may have 
something to do with a kernel change.
The workaround above works for me, but i hope this may give you a better clue.

[Bug 811604] Re: uvcdynctrl spams uvcdynctrl-udev.log and fills up filesystem

2012-12-28 Thread Matt Hamann
Just deleted over 100GB of logs from this bug. Fortunately, I caught it
before my system became unbootable.

It seemingly only occurs after a power state change. I've noticed it
when resuming from suspend and occasionally when plugging/unplugging
power from my laptop. It doesn't seem to occur *every* time each one of
those events occurs.

I noticed the issue, because `uvcdynctrl` was using 100% CPU and causing
the system to hang temporarily.

I can confirm that `sudo killall -9 uvcdynctrl` will cause the logs to
stop overflowing and the system to return to normal operating state.
Previously, I was using a system reboot to resolve the issue
temporarily.

For now, I'll use the `kill` workaround to fix the system issues, and
likely set up a cronjob to remove the offending log file.

As others have mentioned, this seems like a high-priority bug. My
machine is a Lenovo ThinkPad T410 (w/ webcam, obviously).

Here's my build/environment info:

Somehow I have not seen this issue before, but after moving house
suddenly the root fs was filled by this log. No hardware changes, except
that of the 2 displays connected before, now only 1 is. Probably used a
different USB connector.

Why did this happen now and not before?

I would rate this a high priority issue, because of the secondary
effects of this and that breaking due to full disk.

Same problem here on Kubuntu 12.10.

Suddenly, KDE wouldn't start and fortunately I quickly found that
logfile had filled up my harddrive.

I've set debug=0 in /lib/udev/uvcdynctrl as mentioned above to work
around the issues for now, but that obviously isn't a real solution.

sudo killall -9 uvcdynctrl

it was repeating the message a zillion times:
[libwebcam] Warning: The driver behind device video0 has a slightly buggy 
implementation
  of the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag. It does not return the next higher
  control ID if a control query fails. A workaround has been enabled.


What even starts uvcdynctrl? Does it happen when I plug in the camera? When 
something opens the driver?

lsusb of the camera
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 1c4f:3002 SiGma Micro 

$ uvcdynctrl --version
uvcdynctrl 0.2.0

2011-07-24 Thread Stefan Brozinski
This also happens with a perfectly good USB connection when vmware-
player is starting a Vista guest.

The information about having enabled a workaround for a driver issue is
not that important that it has to be written to the log file millions of
times. It should be sufficient to log the problem once when it occurs
for the first time and shut up afterwards.
