[Bug 496266] Re: webcam support regression with 2.6.31-16.53-generic

 

Andres Monroy-Hernandez, this bug was reported a while ago and there
hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is
still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  webcam support regression  with 2.6.31-16.53-generic

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My webcam used to work. It doesn't work anymore. I've tried cheese and
  gstreamer-properties. The LED indicator does turn on but then nothing
  happens. It just hangs.  I am not sure how to check what kind of
  webcam hardware I have. I have a thinkpad x300 with a builtin webcam.
  The green LED  of the webcam turns on when trying to use it from
  cheese or gstreamer-properties but I am not getting any video.
  Gstreamer-properties just keeps showing "Testing..." and nothing else
  happens.
