[Bug 236299] Re: uvcvideo: Unknown symbol video_register_device

 

I'm sorry, i've searched in the forums and I couldn't find any solution,
next time I will post before creating a bug.

In response to your question, yes, i've compiled some revisions of the module, but the problem persists, when I execute:
 $ modprobe uvcvideo
The output is:
 FATAL: Error inserting uvcvideo (/lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And dmesg shows what i've pasted before. One thing that attract my
attention is that the uvcvideo.ko has two different locations, depending
on the version I compile. One is
/lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko , and
the other is /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/usb/media/uvcvideo.ko

Thank you very much, and excuse me for the bad use of the bug track
system

Bug description:
I have a 2nd generation Intel Macbook, with Kubuntu Hardy installed from Gutsy. The built-in isight have worked perfectly following these steps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764616

But since a few days ago, probably due an upgrade, the uvcvideo module can't be loaded.
dmesg shows this:

I can't understand what is the problem, and I can't find much information about it. Does anybody knows the solution?

Thank you very much
