Comment 14 for bug 205970

Yes, I currently have this problem on 8.10, 64 bit version (same problems on 32 bit though).

The linux-uvc.tar.gz doesn't compile on the x86_64 install it seems:

/home/jochem/Desktop/bug/linux-uvc/uvc_driver.c: In function ‘uvc_register_video’:
/home/jochem/Desktop/bug/linux-uvc/uvc_driver.c:1443: error: incompatible types in assignment
/home/jochem/Desktop/bug/linux-uvc/uvc_driver.c:1444: error: ‘struct video_device’ has no member named ‘type’
/home/jochem/Desktop/bug/linux-uvc/uvc_driver.c:1445: error: ‘struct video_device’ has no member named ‘type2’
make[2]: *** [/home/jochem/Desktop/bug/linux-uvc/uvc_driver.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9-generic'
make: *** [uvcvideo] Error 2

So I tried the latest mercurial checkout from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/archive/tip.tar.gz, which does compile and install, but cheese still reports a protocol error:

libv4l2: error turning on stream: Protocol error

luvcview -f yuv seems to work every "even" time I start it:
