Cheers, guys, building UVC from source also fixed the problem for me (x86 with latest 27-7-kernel via normal system updates)
@zoomy942: Here's a detailed howto: 1) bring up the console 2) enter these commands one after the other: sudo apt-get install subversion sudo apt-get install build-essentials (just in case) svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk cd trunk make then run the following line as one (just copy and paste* everything within the quotation marks, this is one command): "sudo install uvcvideo.ko -v -m644 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko && sudo make install && sudo cp -av /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules && sudo depmod -ae $(uname -r)" 3) reboot 4) Enjoy your cheese ;) *hint: to paste something into the console-window use ctrl+shift+v or right-click and select paste -- cheese malfunctioning with UVCVIDEO webcams (was cheese doesn't show v4l2 video output and disables output on gstreamer-based apps ran afterwards) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290506 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
