Hello finch20, I'm sorry you are having trouble with your laptop. Unfortunately you have reached a bug tracker for the Ubuntu One project, and we're able to assist with this problem. Could you try visiting http://www.ubuntu.com/support and that page will outline various ways you can get help with your laptop.

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Hello Finch, thanking you filing a bug report about the issue with the webcam on the Asus X17SL 17-inch laptop and I apologise that this bug report was temporarily closed with a messaging asking you to go elsewhere. You're in the right place and we'll try to further direct this to a suitable place.

Is the upsidedown webcam built into the laptop itself; or is it a free-standing separate USB camera (with a long cable attached)?

I also like to try and help you with the problem to do with networking and having to chance the date in your BIOS. Could you try to explain (using different words) what that issue is to help me understand?

[finch20 (finch20)]

hello Paul
I sent you some time ago, a report generated on my computer was on Everest in Windows that I think you got
And how can I not paste it in this forum

[finch20 (finch20)]

only that I had such problems but also others in May and pass on Windows because I do not want them to play around in August
For example I do not know how to do what is given in the examples
after a script that I would ask that I facilitated, and other matters
rather, we thought over this matter and tortured in August

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Please can both of you run:

  lsusb

and:

  sudo dmidecode --type system | head -13

then attach/paste the output into this bug report.

finch20: perhaps could you try writing in your native language aswell---and we'll try to help translate it; at the moment I'm still having trouble understand (thank you for trying!).

próbowałem wszystkich sposobów z różnych forach nawet patch
żadnych rezultatów nie uzyskiwałem

kolejnym problemem jest zawieszanie się systemu w trakcie startu gdy mam podłączony kabel
pod ethernet
spoczatku myślałem że mam problemy z routerem a co się okazało że z biosem mam problemy
a przekonałem się tym że jak wszedłem i wyszedłem z biosu to linux się normalnie uruchomił
wcześniej podałem cały opis mego komputera

this is my log

Sending upstream to Hans.

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Finch20:

  <hansg> ... todo "dmidecode > log" and attach the resulting logfile, not cutting and pasting please, there is often trailing whitespace which I need preserved

could you run:

  sudo dmidecode > dmidecode.txt

and then attach that to the bug report. Thank you!

[finch20 (finch20)]

nic nie pomogło

[finch20 (finch20)]

I install this driver libv4l-0.6.2 and nothing

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Finch20: what have you tried to install (URL of download), and with what commands (apt/dpkg/etc) ?

libv4l-0.6.2 has _not_ been released, yet.

And, libv4l-0.6.2 has _not_ been packaged in Debian/Ubuntu, yet.

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Upstream match *baseboard IDs* not *system IDs* by default...

[finch20 (finch20)]

I do not know how to do it
can any tips??

[Hans de Goede (j-w-r-degoede)]

Hi,

I'm the author of libv4l, I've fixed the DMI strings in my tree, you can download a snapshot here:
http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.6.2-test.tar.gz

And there are testing instructions for installing from source here:
http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7622.html

Please let me know if this fixes things for you.

Regards,

Hans

[finch20 (finch20)]

I did the instructions and nothing
and I did command sudo ld.so.preload-manager /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
and nothing

[KAMI (kami911)]

Hello!

I have same problem. Do we have precompiled deb package to test in a PPA, or should I test it on my own?

KAMI

[Stéphane Marguet (stemp)]

@KAMI : Libv4l PPA for testing https://launchpad.net/~libv4l/+archive/ppa

[Hans de Goede (j-w-r-degoede)]

I'm not an ubuntu contributor (not even a user), so you can best compile it for yourself, the compile instructions are tested on ubuntu, so they should work fine.

Note the above link is quite old now, please use:
http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/libv4l-0.6.4-test.tar.gz

Install instructions are still at:

Hi
I have Asus K51AE, I use Ubuntu 64bit and have problem with up side down picture from built in camera.
I used your libv4l-0.6.4-test.tar.gz or even the lates one from ppa:libv4l/ppa, I used Ubuntu multilib instruction and all I get is a mirror changed picture instead of up side down.

Can you help me? Thanks
