Till the solution is released, I solved the skype problem with this post of Alejandro Vargas:
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=a5cc6d5a8769cb4fe5d34fe70bb93a79&showtopic=225971 The solution for this problem (and may be with other webcams with similar problems) is this (thanks to Hans de Goede for writing this libraries): 1) check http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html and download the lastest version of the libraries. Now it is: 2) $ wget http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.1.tar.gz 3) unpack the tar: $ tar zcvf libv4l-0.5.1.tar.gz 4) make and install: $ make; sudo make install 5) run skype preloading some of the new libraries: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4lconvert.so:/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype or add: "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4lconvert.so:/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" to your init scripts and run skype normally. This libraries hacks the access to video devices and makes the needed conversions in userspace. -- I use cheesee can saw the webcam work success,but skype failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292899 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
