Once again, you must check if you have 32-bits or 64-bits. There are two different versions.
If you have a 64-bit System, you need to create libv4l for 64-bits and for 32-bits to get all webcam apps working. If you use skype, even having 64-bit you need to use 32-bit libs. You must compile libv4l for both to get complete functionality. So do the following: 1.- download the source-code of libv4l here: http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.1.tar.gz 2.- Compile the source-code for a 32-bit system and for a 64 bit-system. More informationm about cross-compiling. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5997445 I did it that way for 32-bits: export CC="gcc -m32" export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib32" make sudo make install After that you compile this for 64-bits 3.- Use the prepatch (ex.: Skype) export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype I hope it helps you out. At least in my case it did. I had the green bars in skype too, and I solved it this way.
