Public bug reported: This bug is reported against cheese as this is the procedure stated by http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Webcam/Builtin but cheese is not the cause. The cause is Ubuntu doesn't detect Asus Eeepc 1215P internal webcam (screen top) since 12.04. It was working fine before (If I remember the first Ubuntu version on my Eeepc was 10.10 and it was OK).
Cheese is reporting no device found. Gstreamer-properties isn't able to see video input ; when launching gstreamer-properties, the sysout shows : gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sunaudiosink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'glimagesink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lsrc' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon' gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sunaudiosrc' Testing video input in gs-props result in no device found '/dev/vide0' ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: cheese 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-25.40-generic 3.2.18 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-25-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jun 25 22:39:03 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes MachineType: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 1215P ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RelatedPackageVersions: cheese 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 cheese-common 3.4.1-0ubuntu2 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/18/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0601 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: 1215P dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: x.xx dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.chassis.version: x.x dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0601:bd04/18/2011:svnASUSTeKComputerINC.:pn1215P:pvrx.x:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rn1215P:rvrx.xx:cvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:ct10:cvrx.x: dmi.product.name: 1215P dmi.product.version: x.x dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug gstreamer-error precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017692 Title: Regression : Webcam no more detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1017692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
