[Bug 219252] Re: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update
Thanks for looking into this nmathew. The problem is when I want to compile the driver on ubuntu Natty 11.04 I get a compile error: r5u870/usbcam/usbcam.h:38:28: fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory this is because videodev.h is no longer included in the 2.6.38 header files.

I have a Sony VIAO laptop here with a webcam with device ID 05ca:1830. This is a Ricoh camera which needs the old r5u870 driver because this is a WDM type camera not a UVC one.

@Michael, just tested at Jaunty and it compiles fine and the module can be loaded. I cannot test if the webcam actually works as i don't have the hardware. I tried with Hardy and you're right is not compiling there. However, as this module is deprecated i'll suggest to check the bug #120434 as it already includes a package for using this webcam with uvcvideo and the userland tools developed by Alexander. Meanwhile i'm marking this as fix commited, i must say that is not clear if this would ever make it into Ubuntu as explained at the mentioned bug. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid ** Changed in: linux Importance: Unknown = Undecided ** Changed in: linux Status: Incomplete = New ** Changed in: linux Remote watch: bugs.mediati.org/r5u870/ #17 = None ** Changed in: linux Status: New = Invalid -- [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 219252] Re: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There hasn't been any recent activity in this bug report and we were wondering if this is still an issue? The Ubuntu kernel team is actively working on the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. If you could please test the latest Alpha release for Intrepid it would be much appreciated - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. If the issue still exists, please also provide the appropriate debugging information as outlined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies .

[Bug 219252] Re: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update
i have exactly the same bug on my Sony TZ27GN. my webcam is the same 05ca:183a. I have been having the issue of it only being detected if i reboot from xp. which obviously i don't want to have to do. i run linux for a reason. but I had no issues before hardy went full release. I'm sure it was working in Beta stage. any one got any solutions so far? is it just this cam model: 05ca:183a -- [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219252] Re: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update
Soulsurfa: check that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf uses EXA rather than XAA. Option AccelMethod EXA I've had a strange experience with the webcam: sometimes the image works fine, other times it doesn't (see attached) when running ]$ gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink The Skype video stream is also broken when the above command is broken. Cheese works OK. Rebooting from Gutsy or XP gives me this problem I think, which I have to do because of bug 178286 ** Attachment added: corrupt _webcam_stream.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15532616/corrupt%20_webcam_stream.png -- [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 219252] Re: [Hardy] webcam stopped working after last kernel update
Interestingly, when I boot into WinXP then restart (not shut down) back
to Ubuntu, I get webcam function back.
** Description changed:
I have a Vaio SZ650 with VGP-VCC7 webcam, supported by the R5u870 driver
(http://wiki.mediati.org/Installation). Everything worked fine during
Hardy Alpha but then at Beta stage something happened and I can't use my
webcam anymore. Now Hardy has been released, with broken webcam
support.
I think installing the latest kernel borked it, now I can't get webcam
with any program, (cheese, xawtv, Skype, camorama) -. I have rebuilt (
'make') and reinstalled ('make install') r5u870 just in case, but it
makes no difference.
I can view a raw video stream (there I am! On the screen!) by running
the following, so the driver still works:
- ]$ gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesin
+ ]$ gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink
camorama tells me it Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)
Skype cannot detect a webcam at all
cheese displays a test pattern
xawtv says this:
-
