Hello, Please help to narrow down the problem.
what do you mean with does not work? Is the camera detected at all, can it be started? Is the camera led changing? Is any camera content visible in cheese? Is the device available, e.g. ls -l /dev/video* shows something? What is the output of v4l-info (located in package v4l-conf)? Does it work if you unplug / replug it? Do you see any errors logged in the 'dmesg' output? If you start cheese in the terminal, are there any errors logged? Thanks, Gregor ** Changed in: v4l-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875379 Title: Cheese not working properly for external webcam To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/875379/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
