Bug Description
In the Ubuntu Friendly whitelist there are two tests which depend on the package xawtv, camera/still and camera/detect. Since xawtv is not installed in Ubuntu by default these tests will be skipped. Solutions are:
1.) Get xawtv in Ubuntu (hard)
2.) Remove the xawtv dependency
3.) Remove the tests (there are still some camera tests that don't depend on xawtv (like camera/display)
To post a comment you must log in.
xawtv is used by the camera_test script to do a hardware scan and dump info about cameras it finds.
Everything else in that script uses other tools. So we just need to find a way, within Oneiric, to detect the camera without using xawtv...
