[Bug 134285] Re: (046d:0850) QuickCam Web doesn't work in Feisty and Gutsy
Hello I have a quickcam, as well, and it doesn't work with Skype, but maybe I found a new clue. It's like Skype it's reading the image in YUV format, despite the torgb setting of the driver. Let me explain this one better. This is the ID of the cam: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lsusb | grep -i quick Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0850 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Web and this are the current settings: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# qcset -i Name : Logitech QuickCam USB Type : capture subcapture Channels : 1 Audio devices : 0 Maxsize : 356,292 Minsize : 32,32 Overlay coords: 0,0 Capture size : 356,292 Chromakey : 0 Flags : Channel : 0 Name : Camera Tuners: 0 Flags : Type : camera Norm : 47097 Brightness: 32768 Hue : 32768 Color : 32768 Contrast : 32768 Whiteness : 32768 Depth : 24 Palette : RGB888 packed into 24bit words. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# for OPTION in debug qcdebug keepsettings settle subsample compress frameskip quality adaptive equalize userlut retryerrors compatible video_nr ; do echo -n $OPTION: ; qcset ${OPTION}? ; done debug: common qcdebug: common keepsettings: n settle: 0 subsample: n compress: n frameskip: 0 quality: best adaptive: y equalize: n userlut: -1208520159 retryerrors: y compatible: torgb video_nr: -1 Now, using gqcam, setting RGB in the preferences and pushing Apply, the image is ok (files: Screenshot-gqcam - Logitech QuickCam USB.png and Screenshot-gqcam.png). If I select YUV instead, and press Apply, the resulting image is pretty similar to what you get in other programs, e.g.: skype. Note also that the wecam started misbehaving right after I switched from Debian testing to Ubuntu 7.04, nearly one year ago. The same webcam with the same driver and the same version of Skype worked flawlessly in Debian. The same thing happened to Wengophone, that worked ok with that webcam until I switched to Ubuntu. I hope this information is useful to catch the problem.

Leann, I updated my Hardy system using the update manager and I'm now using Ubuntu 2.6.24-16.30-generic. I then restarted and once gnome was loaded I plugged in the camera. I tried the camera on Ekiga but at first it didn't work as it was setup to use v4l2... I then switch to v4l and it detected the camera driver and it worked, for about 30 seconds!! Now I can't get Ekiga to load again (haven't restarted yet). I also installed cheese but it didn't pick up the camera (maybe because v4l2 is default??). I have attached a dmesg.log which I hope you can find the problem. I really appreciate your spending time to fix this bug.

[Bug 134285] Re: (046d:0850) QuickCam Web doesn't work in Feisty and Gutsy
An update to my last post... I restarted the PC and now the camera works fine in Ekiga. I have to use v4l (and not v4l2 which ubuntu seems to think is the default the first time I try using it). Cheese still does not detect the camera. In skype 2.0 I tested the camera and it produced a ghosting image with blue/green lines across the picture.

Hi Scott, After attempting to use the camera, care to capture and attach your dmesg output. Just curious if any interesting error messages are being logged. Also, can you comment which version of the Hardy kernel you are running, 'cat /proc/version_signature'.

An update from my last post. I uninstalled Camorama Web Cam Viewer and then reinstalled it. Now the Logictech cam works fine. I can also see it when running Kopete. So, I'm back to where I was last night. Now lets see if it continues to work. -- (046d:0850) QuickCam Web doesn't work in Feisty and Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just completed a new install of Gutsy, 2.6.22-14 yesterday and all was working fine, including my Logitech web cam. I shut down the system and then booted it back up today and nothing but problems. Desktop locks, programs don't run or run slow and my web cam is always on (green LED) and is not recognized. Reboot and remounting the cam does nothing. Now I'm lost and I'm not really sure where the problem resides as nothing seems to be stable. -- (046d:0850) QuickCam Web doesn't work in Feisty and Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 .

This is still not working for me (now using Gutsy Beta amd64). I have tried using the camera in Ekiga and Cheese. In Ekiga the webcam light flashes a few times when I load it up but then the program crashes.
