 Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:05 am Post subject: usb webcam not working (after udev upgrade) |
 |
|
I've got a | Code: | | 0ac8:3420 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Venus USB2.0 Camera |
which has a microphone. The first time I installed the webcam I did exactly nothing and it all worked. I haven't used it for a week or two and now no applications (e.g. cheese) are picking it up, although the microphone works fine. `lshw` reports no hardware unclaimed. The only thing I can think of which could be a likely culpret is the recent udev upgrade.
Any ideas on how I can debug this? |

Perhaps start with posting `dmesg` output from the time you plug out (and back in) the camera?
Output of `ls -ld /dev/video*`? |

There is nothing named /dev/vid*.

This may be completely off the mark for you but I've just fixed the same problem. For me a kernel upgrade was the problem as the v4l driver options seem to have moved round a bit.
The tells you where the options are in the kernel:

I can't reboot right now, but I'm almost certain this is it. I was surprised to find that "make oldconfig" didn't do what I was expecting (to port the old v4l options over).
Thanks, zoidie!
(Note, this was moving from the 3.5.7-gentoo to 3.6.11-gentoo kernel) |

The `dmesg` output indeed looks like as if the driver wasn't installed (module missing or not built-in to the kernel)
| Code: |
$ cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/usb
$ grep -r 3420
uvc/uvc_driver.c: .idProduct = 0x3420,
|
That's from Linux 3.7.1, so it's definately supported in later kernels. |
