[Bug 501959] New: Tracking bug: fix applications to use libv4l (gspca webcams stopped working!)
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501959 Summary: Tracking bug: fix applications to use libv4l (gspca webcams stopped working!) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bphilips@novell.com ReportedBy: bphilips@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The mainline Kernel merged a number of webcam drivers upstream including gspca in 2.6.27. However, these drivers were merged without their Kernel space decompression routines. This means that applications that used to work with these webcams in 11.0 are broken under 11.1. In 11.2 we should ensure that as many applications are fixed for users as possible. Fixed packages already in Factory --------------------------------- 0.10.14 gst-plugins-good[1] (fixes cheese) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545033 libpt2 2.4.4[2] (fixes ekiga) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545108 Unfixed packages in Factory --------------------------- kopete (need 4.2?) http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=938114 anyone know of others? Things we can't fix -------------------- Skype https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-403 (closed source) 11.1 Users ========== Users affected by this bug in 11.1 are encouraged to install libv4l and either run their applications like this: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype # 32-bit applications Slightly less recommended is to add the following to /etc/ld.so.preload: /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so 11.1 Users Please Test 11.2 =========================== As the 11.2 goes into Alpha/Beta/RC your testing to ensure you applications work with your cameras would be greatly appreciated.

Unfixed packages in Factory --------------------------- kopete (need 4.2?) http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=938114
Brandon, I don't want to create an extra bug-report for the Kopete-package: Kopete just needs to be compiled with libv4l, then it will be used. Current packages do not do that. Adding libv4l-devel to the BuildRequires should be enough. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Have you done that? openSUSE 11.2 and Factory have libv4l available. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's pure theory that packagers are following development closely and know what they are doing (same on other distros). OTOH, it was wrong to make something optional which is in fact essential. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

See comment #12. You don't need the LD_PRELOAD hack for Kopete since KDE SC 4.4.1 anymore. On older versions, libv4l was optional, but most distros didn't use this option (which lead to tons of bug reports about not working devices). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
