gspca: usb_submit_urb [0] err -28

[Daniel Holm]

Binary package hint: linux-image

Since I installed Ubuntu Intrepid I no longer have been able to use Zoneminder with my two webcams - both supported by GSPCA.

In Hardy I ran Zoneminder successfully as a video surveillance at home with my webcam.

I've been trying to find some info about this for quite some time now, but I think that it it time to report it as a bug.

Tell me what to attach, because I don't know.

When trying to watch one of the cams (monitors) in Zoneminders webui the screen is black - all tough I have done everything needed to get it going as it should. And then when I run 'dmesg', I get this:

This might be the same as the bug I reported: (#377316) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gspca/+bug/377316

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

I am getting this with a (USB ID) 0ac8:301b web camera, on 2.6.32-9.13-generic:
gspca: usb_submit_urb alt 6 err -28

The camera works with cheese in Hardy with kernel 2.6.24-26 (although it makes skype 2.1.0.47 crash) and not with 2.6.28-17. With 2.6.28-17-generic the message is like with the original reporter:
gspca: usb_submit_urb [0] err -28
With 2.6.24-26 the message is:
/build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: init isoc: usb_submit_urb(0) ret -28

e.g.: download and install proposed library, then do:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
/usr/bin/skype

Hi Daniel,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 310227

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

For the record, with 2.6.34-999.201005231006 I don't get the above message so I guess this bug can stay closed. However I have to use LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so with both skype and cheese, and I get:
gspca: found int in endpoint: 0x82, buffer_len=8, interval=10
but that seems harmless.
