A /dev/videoX is created, accessable and full functioning! I hadn't success putting these lines in rc.local - it won't be executed. Still have to figure out, why. But if I execute the two lines by hand after every boot, I have my webcam back, again! -- GSPCA webcam no longer working: no /dev/video0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255678 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
