I tried camorama. The  test failed - "Unable to capture image"

I tried camorama.
camorama test failed - "Unable to capture image"
The image has a strip across the top, the rest of it shows black.

camorama test failed - "Unable to capture image"

# rpm -qa | grep -i camorama
camorama-0.19-0.pm.2

Cheese is maintained by gnome maintainers.
Comment 6 Luis Medinas 2009-03-09 16:50:20 UTC
it doesn't seem a gnome bug, assign to kernel.
Looks like your webcam isn't supported.

Duplicate of "fix applications to use libv4l (gspca webcams stopped working!)"

Users affected by this bug in 11.1 are encouraged to install libv4l and either
run their applications like this:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype     # 32-bit applications

Slightly less recommended is to add the following to /etc/ld.so.preload:
 /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
