Comment 28 for bug 1295247

Any word on this guys?

I'm getting the same error as everybody else.

I have a Dell XPS 12 - model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 - 32 Bit

I've run different kernels from the Ubuntu repository with the same result: (Uname)

Linux zubin-dell-xps-12 3.13.0-43-generic #51~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

The Video Works perfect in VLC, therefor I don't think this is a V4L2 Problem

However, It doesn't work with Cheese, Skype, guvcview

$ cheese
libv4l2: error got 4 consecutive frame decode errors, last error: v4l-convert: libjpeg error: End Of Image
