I have found that using the LD_PRELOAD workaround fixes my "green screen" with Skype.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype My "Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks" 046d:08dd works fine, but my terminal fills up with errors listed below. I have no idea what this means, and only reference it here as it may assist those that appear to be diagnosing issues with Webcams. libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000fffb libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000fffd libv4lconvert: Error decompressing JPEG: unknown huffman code: 0000ffff Thank you to all for your assistance. I'm glad I can now use my cam again :) Regards, Andrew -- needed: libv4l and associated application patches (or "gspca stopped working in 2.6.27") https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
