Due to the licensing problems with the jpeg decompressor, it isn't possible to get this fixed easily for an out-of-box experience for releases older than Jaunty. Users will be expected to get the latest decompressor source and compile it.
The newer kernels now support the jpeg decompression and thus we should focus our attention to fix that driver. Please test with latest Jaunty and gspca_ov519 driver. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- webcam error - ov511.c: No decompressor available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41779 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
