[Gutsy] Kopete webcam not working

[slamdunk]

Binary package hint: kopete

System : Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 5
Hardware : Dell XPS M1330

When I try to configure via "device" webcam settings in Kopete, I get a green-video-box.

If I run kopete from shell I have this output:

$ kopete

  Major opcode: 148
  Minor opcode: 3
  Resource id: 0x0

When I open "device" menu:

...
read error 19, Nessun device
read error 19, Nessun device
read error 19, Nessun device
read error 19, Nessun device
read error 19, Nessun device

...

and when I try to change parameters kopete crashes with this output:

KCrash: Application 'kopete' crashing...

With Ekiga cam works properly but with Camorama I get:
I cannot connect to video device (/dev/video0)

Can confirm this on Kubuntu Gutsy (Beta).
Should work with latest device driver from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de

Kopete works with the latest Video Drivers.

But ALL other Programs do not recognise Video as it should, neither Eikga nor wengophone. Openwengo simply does nothing and ekiga says that the device does not support the video format. Can anyone confirm this?

just upgraded system and tested:

kopete works now with driver
Ekiga works for me again

[robe (r-evert)]

Ah, your application needs to support V4L2, the Gutsy Version of Wengophone and Ekiga does not for me. Downloaded newer Versions and it works.

[slamdunk (antongiulio05)]

it's fixed now.
