When I try to do a video chat in gmail, the video is not working. It used to work a while ago and stopped working recently. This is most likely due to updating some of the packages. I am trying to narrow down the problematic package.
Symptom: In gmail -> settings -> Chat -> Voice and video chat -> Verify your settings -> The "Camera:" section shows UVC Camera (046d:0990). However, instead of displaying the video from the webcam, it shows "A plugin is needed to display this content." Hardware: rajulocal@hogwarts ~ % lsusb Bus 006 Device 003: ID 046d:0990 Logitech, Inc.

If so, can you please share your list of installed packages? This way I can compare version numbers and narrow down the problematic version of the package. thanks in advance raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
