Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe no longer works
Last modified: 2009-05-07 21:02:36 UTC
My webcam (uses zc3xx/gspca) doesn't work in 11.1. It worked well in 11.0. I have tried cheese, gstreamer-properties, xawtv, and vlc. vlc does manage to get a couple of frames off the device before failing but none of the other programs get anything.

Can you please attach the output of `hwinfo`?

Please help to get that thing work.......
I've got this webcam and it works fine under skype with the uvcvideo.ko kernel module.
Vadim, You have a somewhat different camera than what this bug refers to. This camera is gspca, not uvc.
Hmm, according to lsusb I do have a Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks: $ lsusb Bus 005 Device 006: ID 046d:09c1 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks
Ah, you have the "QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks" not to be confused with the "QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe". Note the subtle difference in word order. Also a different USB ID from the one this bug refers to: ID 046d:08a9 Logitech, Inc. Notebook Deluxe
Closing as DUPLICATE because I believe this is the same issue as bug 501959. You can try installing libv4l and either run your applications like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype # 32-bit application Or a slightly less recommended is to add the following to /etc/ld.so.preload: /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so This will allow you to run the applications as normal but will load libv4l into every application you run on your system. 11.2 should fix this bug in a better manner. Please test the 11.2 Alpha/Betas as they become available and report any issues. Thanks, Brandon *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 501959 ***
