I have a Logitech 9000 pro and Cheese doesn't see it as well. gstreamer-properties is able to see it and test video works, skype and ekiga work as well.
this works as well: gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! ffmpegcolorspace ! ximagesink . $ cheese --verbose Detected webcam: UVC Camera (046d:0990) device: /dev/video0 video/x-raw-yuv 1600 x 1200 num_framerates 1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 960 x 720 num_framerates 2 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 800 x 600 num_framerates 5 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 640 x 480 num_framerates 6 30/1 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 352 x 288 num_framerates 6 30/1 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 320 x 240 num_framerates 6 30/1 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 176 x 144 num_framerates 6 30/1 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 video/x-raw-yuv 160 x 120 num_framerates 6 30/1 25/1 20/1 15/1 10/1 5/1 -- Cheese doesn't detect my webcam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
