Feedback, webcam software not working - avj - 02-08-2016 The webcam software in Lite Software is not working on this netbook. I am running LL 2.8 32 bit. It worked well in 2.6, but now it doesn't show anything from the camera, just a black window. I tried reinstalling the software, but that did nothing. I used lsusb and my camera show up as: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera. I have uninstalled the software, and installed camorama in its place and everything works fine. Just thought the development team should be aware. A little more info, the camorama software only supports still captures not video. Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - firenice03 - 02-08-2016 @avj I think we have very similar netbooks ![]() Mines a Dell Inspiron Mini - Atom N270 1.6Ghz - 1GB - Intel Mobile 945GSE Express I'll check mine this evening, can't recall if I installed the webcam since I upgraded to 2.8.. If anything good to know if issue replicates.. Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - Wirezfree - 02-08-2016 Hi, From some early rough notes, I think my daughters laptop..??: Code: dmesg | grep uvcvideo If you see "failed to initialise -5 error" Try: Code: sudo rmmod uvcvideo Code: sudo modprobe uvcvideo Then see if LL Webcam S/W(guvcview?) works Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - avj - 02-08-2016 To Wirezfree, The software is guvcview. When I run the "dmesg | grep uvcvideo" in a terminal I get the following. Code: [ 36.543538] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 Camera (0c45:62c0) If I run guvcview from a terminal I get the following. Code: guvcview 1.7.1 Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - Wirezfree - 02-08-2016 O.K, It appears to be recognised and there, I think the first few unknowns, failed, and jack are all Audio items, so should not affect video. Not sure what else to suggest... Maybe somebody else will come along with suggestions. What kernel are you using, I found this: https://sourceforge.net/p/guvcview/tickets/13/ Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - avj - 02-08-2016 According to Lite Control Center I am running kernel 3.19.0-33-generic. I did find a bug report on launchpad that appears to be the same issue from the link that you posted. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guvcview/+bug/1448694 Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - firenice03 - 02-08-2016 avj.. If it helps... Mine is working.. 2.6 upgraded to 2.8.. Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic Let me know if anyone needs any command outputs if it would help... Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - avj - 02-09-2016 Thanks firenice03, I was hoping to avoid having to do that but it looks like it may be the only alternative. ![]() Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - Valtam - 02-09-2016 Have you tried Cheese? I've had guvcview not work, then Cheese work on the same pc. Strange, I know. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Re: Feedback, webcam software not working - avj - 02-10-2016 I tried Cheese, but it was a little too resource hungry and started lagging out my computer. I eventually had to kill the app from the task manager. I was able to confirm that this isn't a hardware issue by using a system back live DVD of my former LL 2.6 system using guvcview, and was able to take photos, and make a video. It is looking more and more like I may have to go the upgrade route, unless someone has other suggestions. |
