A quick fix is to go to plugins in pidgin and turn on the voice/video settings plugin, and changing the input video device to the "Test input" device. This broadcasts some test-video-data to the receiver with webcam and doesn't hang the conversation.
This of course doesn't solve the software bug but at least allows users to already use the one-way webcam. -- video chat with only one party having a camera https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483094 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
