This is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release (lucid/64 with the
latest updates):
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.628213] uvcvideo: Found UVC
1.00 device <unnamed> (05ca:183a)
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.640293] uvcvideo: UVC non
compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported. Enabling workaround.
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.640543] uvcvideo: Failed to
query (129) UVC probe control : -32 (exp. 26).
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.640603] uvcvideo: Failed to
initialize the device (-5).
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.640768] usbcore: registered
new interface driver uvcvideo
Jul 30 17:44:32 jan-vaio-vgn-tz31-vn kernel: [ 33.641451] USB Video Class
driver (v0.1.0)
As a workaround try this:
open a terminal
$ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libusb-dev build-essential gcc
automake mercurial
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/
$ cd r5u87x
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo r5u87x-loader --reload
The loader will automatically be run on boot when it detects your
webcam.
