Same for me Logitech quickcam stx
Works perfectly in Hardy but not Intrepid or Jaunty Found this article from Launchpad which gave me a solution pgmmpk said on 2008-11-01: Found a workaround for this. The core of the problem is that gspca drivers in 8.10 apparently implement V4L2, while many applications are still using V4L1 protocol. See http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html . Diagnostics: install camstream start camstream, open trace window, and start camera. Expect to see messages like: VIDIOCSYNC(1) failed (Invalid argument) How to workaround this (see also https://lists.linux- foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-janitors/2008-October/011912.html): 1. Download and unpack http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.0.tar.gz 2. See README, and install: sudo make install 3. Open terminal window 4. $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so 5. $ camstream Start camera, should now work. How to make skype work: 1. create new shell script (call it skype_wrapper), put it somehwere (e.g. /usr/local/bin/skype_wrapper). Content: #!/bin/bash export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype 2. Open System/Root Menu manager, locate Skype, Edit the shortcut replacing command "skype" => "/usr/local/bin/skype_wrapper". 3. Start skype (restart, if already running). Test video should now work. Guys, if anyone knows how to **really** fix it (not going thru the pain in the @$$ above), please let me know. Credit for the solution should go to http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html .
