[Israel (israel2k9)]

I found the problem, is related to the same error found with ndiswrapper in kernel 2.6.24. The error is the following one: when compiling I modulate it, will only working in the first execution after to compile, exactly that it places the module to initiate with the system, it will not worked, exactly that the command uses modprobe gspca will not load, and if to try to remove the module with rmmod it will say that is in use, and alone he removes when installing, as in log above, therefore the problem is this for that I observed: it loads another together module, another module that requires it, and of the one not to use the command rmmod therefore is necessary for the other module, and this another module that I do not know which am, am what he makes it not to function, gspca, and in the first execution, gspca does not load this another module. ai is bug, waits that it understands, of this time used the Babel translator fish. hehehehehehhee

and again; gspca-source not work have error no compilation, no work

[Israel (israel2k9)]

i solved part of problem of gspca offial, but no result for gspca-source.deb:

cd /usr/src/gspcav1-20071224

make >& kgspca.err (command super necessary, without not have no work)
rmmod gspca (sucess removed)
modprobe gspca (loaded with sucess)
result - 100% working in any program

reboot the system; not loaded;
solved: make a script with:

sudo make >& kgspca.err
sudo rmmod gspca # (sucess removed)
sudo modprobe gspca # (loaded with sucess)

Hi, Israel. Are you having this issue with latest intrepid fully updated?

At this moment gspca is being merged with linux kernel so is better to check bugs within merged drivers.

so please take a look into the bugs: bug #292086, bug #144745 and bug #260918

[Andres Mujica (andres.mujica)]

in the meantime i'm marking this as dupe from bug #273727.
