[Bug 1305306] Re: 04f2:b3be [Sony VAIO SVP1321M2E] Webcam is distorted

 

Daniel Holm, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is
the release candidate number if it exists.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  04f2:b3be [Sony VAIO SVP1321M2E] Webcam is distorted

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  My new Vaio Pro 13 has a webcam from Chicony which doesn't work
  properly. Using Cheese I can se myself for like a second, then the
  stream ends. In Google Hangouts my image contains static and is
  distorted (see attachement).

  Using streamer to take a snapshot the image looks fine in 640x480, but
  if I want it to take a HD image in 1280x720 I get an error and the
  output file looks as when in an hangout.
