The problem is old. I met it for the first time in Suse 11.2 x64. Starting from 12.1 it exists also in 32-bitversion. The solution is to run skype after export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so If LD_PRELOAD is set as described, the webcam works properly with skype. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a webcam creative. Here are the outputs of lsusb and dmesg in my case: lsusb: Bus 005 Device 003: ID 041e:405f Creative Technology, Ltd dmesg: [ 2.535089] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd [ 2.708899] usb 5-2: New USB device found, idVendor=041e, idProduct=405f [ 2.708905] usb 5-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 2.708910] usb 5-2: Product: Creative WebCam Vista [ 2.708914] usb 5-2: Manufacturer: CRrative Labs 2. Try to use this webcam with skype. Actual Results: As I said, webcam doesn't work. Unless LD_PRELOAD is not set. Expected Results: I would expect, that since webcam works in other applications without manual interference, it must work in the same way with skype. No special configuration. I use this webcam with three computers. Before 12.1 it worked properly with 32-bit version. Now it works everywhere only after manual interference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
