Or did you mean something different, I do not know about ? -- 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.

I had to figure out that the V4L2 plugin had yet to be installed. I believe that the V4L2 plugin should be installed with Ekiga or a notation to the end user to that effect. I hope this answers the question. -- 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.

I think that comment #6 says it all: If the plugin is not installed it should not be displayed in the menu (it can be grayed out, or a pop should inform the user about missing package or...). -- 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.
