I've had this problem with my logitech webcam since several ubuntu releases. You need to explicitly load a library before launching skype, as explained in the workarounds tthat you can find in several places.
for 64 systems you can use the command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype this works too (it's what I'm presently using in 11.04) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype on 32 bit systems, it should be LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype You can place this in a script that you invoke in place of skype itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754162 Title: logitech camera doesn't work after upgrade -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
