Two months passed by. I just installed the newer kernel (2.6.28-13-generic) and the problem persists. If I can provide more information to help to solve this, please let me know.

After updating to karmic, the problem persists. The debugging info is slightly different - the process stops earlier, the message is the same (unable to capture...):

I found solution , type in terminal
Code:
# export LD_PRELOAD=
# camorama

I test the solution above, and if effectively camorama launch successfully, the image of the webcam output seems corrupted (grayed, and partly repeated picture on the side)

same bug for me on Ubuntu 10.04 , Camorama 0.19, webcam (ID 046d:08a0 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM)
The following command also works for me :
LD_PRELOAD=
but gives me strange colors.
Note : this webcam is recognized out-of-the-box by GVCView, and by Cheese (after reducing resolution in Preferences).

hello,
I am on ubuntu 11.04
I can start camorama, it is OK but when I click on take a picture, nothing happens
I tried to try the solution proposed :
LD_PRELOAD=
BUT in the terminal after starting the command "LD_PRELOAD=
(camorama:8137): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
libv4l2: error reading: Argument invalide
Then I installed cheese (thanks zasq (zasq) ) which is working!
I am sad to see that since 2009 no solution was found, because before I was just using camorama to check my webcam, and today I have seen that there is a take a picture button and tried it! (OK it is easy to say that because I know nothing about ubuntu but using it)
Coul I get an answer? Thanks
Regards
Hi!
Same here. The Camera works with skype and cheese, but not with camorama. Here's the --debug output: (BTW: what does "tip - acap off" mean?)
