Discovered in version: 8.10RC
Last known good version: 8.04.1
gstreamer-based apps (gstreamer-
cheese can configure webcam (Dell Inspiron integrated webcam) but it does not provide any output. after some time the apps hang.
vlc can play with the webcam (including sound).
the hardware:
[ 11.835433] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Laptop Integrated Webcam (05a9:2640)
[ 11.835731] uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -32 (exp. 26).
[ 11.893113] input: Laptop Integrated Webcam as /devices/
[ 12.025138] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
Steps to Reproduce it:
1.- Start ekiga, you should get local video
2.- Start gstreamer-
3.- Start cheese and it would hang after a while
4.- Kill cheese, remove the uvcvideo (most probably this would happen with other modules, pwc, gspca) driver and reload it again
5.- Try again with ekiga or gstreamer-
6.- Start cheese, go to properties and configure to the lowest resolution available. Cheese would hang, kill it and it would start again.
Now you've got low resolution video
