Same issue here. Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit Webcam: D-Link DSC-350 => gspca_spca500
When connecting the wabcam, /dev/video appears and immediately disappears: [ 1513.460064] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8 [ 1513.654428] gspca: probing 084d:0003 [ 1513.654528] gspca: video0 created [ 1513.654624] gspca: probing 084d:0003 [ 1514.042937] gspca: video0 disconnect [ 1514.043094] gspca: video0 released But if I leave the cam attached, remove all gspca_* modules, wait a minute and load gspca_spca500 again, /dev/video0 exists and the cam works: sudo modprobe -v gspca_spca500 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l2-compat-ioctl32.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/v4l1-compat.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/gspca_main.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/gspca_spca500.ko [ 2245.369535] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [ 2245.378510] gspca: main v2.9.0 registered [ 2245.382770] gspca: probing 084d:0003 [ 2245.383841] gspca: video0 created [ 2245.383873] gspca: probing 084d:0003 [ 2245.385289] usbcore: registered new interface driver spca500 [ 2245.385296] spca500: registered Looks like a kind of race condition. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440590 Title: No /dev/video for a (formerly working) Aiptek/Sunplus-Webcam -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
